The modified amendment at the desk is a compromise that I worked out with the Senator from Vermont. Mr. SANDERS. The modification includes language that was agreed to during the immigration debate. In fact. a similar amendment passed the Senate with a 59vote majority. It would increase the fee for HlB visas and use the revenue to support gifted and talented education as well as an American Competitiveness Scholarship Program that the Senator from Vermont has authored. I support his goal of creating a scholarship program for students pursuing a degree in math. engineering. health care. or computer science. I appreciate Senator SANDERSS Willingness to help me and to provide needed funding for gifted and talented students.
