Mr. President. first. let me commend my friends from Wyoming and Massachusetts for what they have accomplished. We have preserved the principle of judicial review of asylum cases. We presently have judicial review of asylum cases. The Senator from Massachusetts has indicated there are many cases of individuals who have obtained protection from court who would not have obtained that protection but for this provision. We have cases on record which are very dramatic cases of people coming to this country. seeking asylum. being turned down administratively. then obtaining court review and success. even though there was no constitutional issue involved. I do commend my friends from Wyoming and Massachusetts for the protection for asylum cases which we are now going to provide. It is a good compromise and with the adoption of this amendment. I withdraw my own amendment that provides for judicial review in asylum cases. It will no longer be necessary and we shall be able to save the Senate the halfhour which we do not have any more. anyway.
