Mr. SANDERS. Thank you, Mr. President.

This amendment, as modified, is being cosponsored by Senator Grassley and has been cleared by both sides. This amendment simply requires recipients of TARP funding to meet strict H-1B worker hiring standards to prevent displacement of U.S. workers.

I thank Chairman Baucus for working with me on changes to my original amendment, and I urge its adoption.
