Mr. Speaker. the gentleman from Texas raises an interestIng point and I think it is well to note at this time that in our bill. the bill before the House. is a new section on how the question of asylum is established legally. Under the current law. that question largely is settled by the Immigration Service. Under the bill before the House tonight. there is a separate procedure. separately specially trained administrative law Judges outside the Immigration Service. another separate Board of Review and then a right of Judicial review of that decision. So there is a legalization section here for those who are here who do not seek asylum. and we have a separate section dealing with the question of asylum and refuge which. while the gentleman from Florida has a slightly different formulation. he and I do agree that our bill. or even his formulation. would be vastly better than the current situation.
