She was a leader in the effort to enact the equal rights amendment legislation and played an important role in opposing provisions of the Criminal Code reform draft legislation which constituted serious violations of civil liberties. In 1975 several of her amendments to the new rules of criminal procedure for the Federal courts helped assure fair Federal criminal trials. In recent years she has chaired the Subcommittee on Immigration. Refugees. and International Law. and has compiled an enviable record of thoughtful. innovative work on the complex and increasingly serious issues confronting the Nation in the areas of refugee and immigration policy. While I am most familiar with Liz work on legislation coming under the Judiciary Committees jurisdiction. I am also very much aware of her contributions as a member of our Budget Committee.
