Mr. President. just a brief word about the immigration bill. We could have been wrapping It up tonight. As I indicated to my good friend. the majority leader. on Thursday afternoon. I thought there was every reason to believe we could have finished the immigration bill by tonight. Instead. we ended up having another cloture votein my view. a day or two prematuretaking Friday off. and today spending our time on a meaningless resolution giving the President advice about whom the Attorney General ought to be. Having said that. I appreciate the comments of the majority leader that he would like to finish the immigration bill. There is a substantial number of Republican Senators who believe this bill would be an improvement over the current situation. over the status quo. and so I hope we will be able to chart a path to get us back on track at some point and hopefully complete. on a bipartisan basis. what could well be the most important domestic achievement of this Congress. I am pleased to hear the majority leader say there is a possibility that we could get back to this measure and wrap it up.
