Mr. President. under this amendment. a refugee applicant may choose to qualify for refugee status by demonstrating that he or she has been the victim one of several acts of mistreatment or prejudicial actions. I understand that the ranking member of the Immigration Subcommittee believes that the provision nonetheless reserves discretion to the Attorney General. Would he agree that any discretion which this allows the AG to deny cases Is extremely limited In scopethat it is only for the Isolated case which cannot now be foreseenin which a conferral of refugee status. would not be appropriate. or otherwise not in the national interest?
