    Remarks on Immigration Reform Legislation in Charlotte
    April 6, 2006

        I'm pleased that Republicans and Democrats in the United States
    Senate are working together to get a bipartisan comprehensive energy
    bill--let me start over. I'm pleased that Republicans and Democrats in
    the United States Senate are working together to get a comprehensive
    immigration bill.
        I want to thank the efforts of those involved in the process. I
    appreciate their understanding there needs to be a comprehensive
    immigration bill. I recognize there are still details to be worked out.
    I would encourage the Members to work hard to get the bill done prior to
    the upcoming break.
        Thank you all.

    Note: The President spoke at 12:36 p.m. at the North Carolina Air
    National Guard base at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport.
