the presiding officer: the senator from iowa. mr. grassley: thank you very much. i want to -- before the senator from texas leaves the floor, i think he needs to be complimented because one of the four things of the bill that i'm talking about our introducing, and he's going to be one of the cosponsors of it, is border security. he has worked years on border security. he needs to be complimented about it. he's chairman of the immigration subcommittee of our committee on judiciary, and i think also that senator johnson of homeland security has some aspects of border security as well. so i think you and senator johnson ought to be complimented for being in the lead of 100 senators to make sure that we don't make the same mistakes that we did in 1986 when we gave amnesty because we thought we had border security, and quite obviously, the numbers show that we didn't do a good job of border security in 1986. and the senator from texas and the senator from wisconsin are are going to make sure that we don't make that mistake again. so thank
