Mr. Speaker. I rise to urge my colleagues to think twice before lending their support to the passage. unamended. of H.R. 6046. the Extradition Reform Act of 1982. As the gentleman from California has correctly observed. the language of this bill is so broad and vague that it risks compromising important constitutional principles and threatens our countrys ability to respond appropriately to the needs of political refugees who have come to America in search of a haven from oppression. Mr. Speaker. I am sure all of us in the House support the underlying purpose of this legislationfacilitation of the return of terrorists.
