Mr. Chairman. I think this is really a matter of critical importance because it involves the only remedy that is effective to many of these refugees will be available to them. which is a class action that will apply to the group that is affected. The results of this l1th circuit court case just make an entire nullity of the provision that is in the bill. Clearly. class actions are something which are permitted in law to expedite rather than delay proceedings. There is something in the law to reduce the cost to litigants and to the courts. I feel very strongly that if you deny class action rights to this category of refugees. you are going to be denying very important rights indeed and many of those people who are seeking refuge in the United States from persecution will not be able to achieve justice. so I hope that the amendment will be supported.
