There is an opportunity. however. to do that. First. we must defeat the Reid proposal. and then there will be an opportunity to adjust the House proposal in a way that is acceptable to the Speaker of the House. the Republican leader of the House. and the President of the United States. thereby achieving an early signature. So I will offer. along with Senator STEVENS. after the Reid proposal does not achieve cloture. an amendment to the Housepassed bill that will deal with Social Security. with veterans. and with the immigration problem. And with regard to the veterans piece of it. one of the deficiencies of the Finance Committee or Reid proposal Is that it does not cover the widows of veterans. That omission will be corrected in the proposal I will offer.
