If I may make an observation. as the Democratic leader knows. under the procedure that the Senator requested unanimous consent on. it is our understanding that the bill might well be blue slipped. We are looking for a way to get the immigration issue to conference in a way that will guarantee the conference can go forward. It will be a contentious conference. in any event. but to make sure the conference can go forward in a way that guarantees we do not get derailed by some parliamentary technicality. I offer a different unanimous consent. I ask unanimous consent the Senate proceed to Calendar No. 326. H.R. 4096. provided further that all after the enacting clause be stricken. and the text of the Senatepassed immigration bill be inserted in lieu thereof. Further. that the bill be read the third time and passed. and the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table. I further ask that the Senate insist on its amendment. request a conference with the House. and the chair be authorized to appoint conferees.
