Mr. President. I think we have the makings of an agreement here. at least the way I understood the Republican leader. We agree that refugees should go through a robust screening process. The bill we are talking about before the Senate. though. is stressing bureaucracy and paperwork. Each refugee who comes to this countryand there are about 100 a daywould have to be signed off by three Cabinet Secretaries. That is 300 personal signatures a day. We dont want more paperwork. What we have said is we want four amendments to change the underlying bill. We are not going to be demanding days of debate time.
