I thought the divided Government was uniquely situated to tackle both of these issues. One of them was Social Security. I am not as optimistic on that issue as I would like to be. And the other issue is Immigration. There is reason for optimism today that the Senate. on a bipartisan basis. will come together and pass a landmark piece of legislation. We will find out next week. but I think the compromise announced today certainly gives room for optimism that might occur. I did support the majority leaders decision to turn to that issue before Memorial Day. I thought it gave us the best chance of passing legislation. and with those kinds of deadlines. it gave us the best chance of coming together.
