Speaker. I must Join with a number of my colleagues in expressing great concern over the disturbing provisions of the unamended Extradition Reform Act . It is obvious that our extradition system needs revision. We certainly do not want to encourage streams of international terrorists to seek asylum in the United States. We must facilitate their prompt return to justice in the countries where they have committed their heinous crimes. In our haste to get tough with those Individuals who thrive on violence and injustice. however. we cannot neglect our American tradition of protecting the legitimate victims of political tyranny.
