Mr. President. I am going to use time in morning business to discuss the very important bill that is before us that we will be going on in ab~out 20 minutes. and that is the immigration bill. This sometimes is referred to as the "grand compromise." It is no secret that I have had concern about the immigration issue. and now specifically this bill. and in my opinion it contains an amnesty program. I know around here those who are backing this "grand compromise" dont want us to use the word "amnesty." but I think if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. it is a duck. So I am going to refer to it as the amnesty program for illegal aliens already in the United States. Not too many Senators today can say they voted for the 1986 amnesty bill. That was the SimpsonMazzoli Act. the present law we are amending.
