When they wouldnt join him in a bipartisan effort. he continued on and joined the process Secretary Ohertoff had begun with opponents of last years bill. In extended discussions he and others have had. they have now come forward with a proposal. I commend Senator KENNEDYs commitment and his efforts. I would also like to thank the majority leader. He had intended to set aside 2 full weeks this month for Senate consideration of comprehensive immigration reform. When the informal discussions were not completed on time. he gave those discussions more time. He was right that this issue warrants a significant commitment of the Senates time. and I am glad to work with him to make sure that consideration is fair and comprehensive.
