                     COMMENDING THE MAJORITY LEADER

  Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, as always, I commend the distinguished 
majority leader for his words on immigration reform. We are on this 
bill because he set this time aside, and he, like I, hopes we will soon 
be voting on amendments. There are a lot of potential amendments, just 
as we had 300 amendments filed in the Senate Judiciary Committee. We 
were able to work through them. I know we do not expect that many here 
on the floor, but I know the leader has set aside time for us, and I 
know his commitment to get this filed and fulfilled, and I joined him 
on that. I think the time is right. We either do it now or we are never 
going to do it.
  So I thank the leader again.
