Mr. Speaker. when the Mazzoli immigration bill. H.R. 1510. is considered by the House. I intend to offer an amendment reestablishing current law as it pertains to the right of refugees and excludable aliens to bring class action suits. Quite often. groups of refugees are subject to identical treatment when applying for asylum or stays of deportation. this amendment makes clear that if that treatment violates the Constitution or laws or treaties of this country. the group may appeal that treatment in a class action suit. I would like to include in todays RECORD a copy of a letter from the New York Bar Association to the chairman of the Rules Committee. Representative CLAUDE PEPPER.
