Mr. President. I thank my colleagues for that courtesy. The managers amendment has been negotiated right up to the last second. It is hard to know exactly everything that is in it. I am told by staff that among the provisions is one which: ... requires Federal. State and local representatives in the United States to consult with their counterparts in Mexico concerning the construction of additional fencing and related border security structures along the U.S.-Mexico border before the commencement of any such construction to. No. 1. solicit the views of affected communities. No. 2. lessen tensions. and. No. 3. foster greater understanding and stronger cooperation on this and other important security issues of mutual concern.
