WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The key players in the comprehensive immigration reform bill which stalled last week, met behind closed doors Thursday evening, to clear up details on a tentative agreement to revive the controversial measure.

"I'm not just going to accept what they give me. I want to see what it is," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on his way into the meeting.

It will be up to Reid to decide whether to bring the bill back to the Senate floor for debate. The Democratic leader has said he is willing to do so, but only if it is clear that there is enough Republican support to move the bill forward.

Also attending the meeting were Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, and a group of senators who have been working on the bill, including Ted Kennedy, D-Massachusetts., Jon Kyl, R-Arizona, Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, Arlen Specter, R-Pennsylvania, and Ken Salazar, D-Colorado.

After a full day of negotiations in an office near the Senate floor, a tentative agreement was reached on the number and scope of amendments that will be offered if the bill comes back to the floor. Senators and aides familiar with the deal said it will allow for consideration of about 20 amendments.

Reid pulled the bill from the floor last week after most Republicans balked at cutting off further amendments and moving forward toward a vote.

Thursday's breakthrough came just hours after President Bush threw his support behind an amendment -- sponsored by Kyl and Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina -- that would provide an additional $4.4 billion for border security and work site immigration enforcement. The amendment is a bid to answer concerns from some GOP critics that the security aspects of the bill weren't tough enough.

"We're going to show the American people that the promises in this bill will be kept," Bush said. (Watch Bush talk about his outlook on the bill )

In addition to beefing up border security and increasing the number of Border Patrol agents, the immigration measure would create a guest worker program, which would allow migrant workers from other countries to work temporarily in the Untied States.

The most controversial aspect of the bill is the creation of a pathway to legalization and eventual citizenship for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants already in the country, an idea which critics dismiss as "amnesty."
