Mr. President. I congratulate my cosponsor. Senator MIKULSKI. for the excellent work we did as a team on this amendment. It took a long time to work this through the process. but we are very pleased today this amendment will be accepted. Mr. President. when a country is a staunch defense ally and partner in the war on terror. they should have the opportunity to participate in the Visa Waiver Program on a probationary basis while they work to come into full compliance. I previously introduced and called up a similar amendment. No. 3214. cosponsored by Senator MiKULSKI. After consultation with the Judiciary Committee and the Department of State. this modified version seeks to address some of the concerns that have been raised.
