As I interpreted the motion that was made here--that we ask immigration for their recommendations on this piece of legislation--it does not bind us to a timeline or to any kind of timing impacting the bill.
I talked to the chair of the immigration committee and relayed that message to him, and he was going to take it back for consultation. That was after we got the letter. Whether they will accelerate their timing or not, I don't know. We have the group of, I believe, about 60 witnesses. We divvied it up proportionally to be able to fill three meetings. Yesterday, unfortunately, we had to cancel one of those. We're trying to squeeze that same number into the next two, which would be on Wednesday and Monday.
We won't listen to the 60. We will listen to a proportionate number to be able to fill up those three slots. It's not going to be 60; it will be--I don't know--maybe 15 out of those 60, based on the recommendations of the individual members here, and proportional to party. That's the way it's going to go.
