We addressed a number of contentious issues. At the end of the day. after debate and amendment. we had overwhelming support for the bill itself. The debate followed a healthy and productive debate on Immigration and border security for the 2 to 3 weeks prior to that. a total of a month prior. We have seen in recent weeks that the Senate is working quite well in terms of having peoples views expressed. debated in a dignified way. getting points across. helping become better educated ourselves and educating the American people in the process. I thank Senators WARNER and LEVIN for their tremendous work in navigating through the challenging issues and bringing Defense authorization to a close in a cooperative manner.
