Doherty prevailed. The Justice Department then sought to deport Mr. Doherty to the United Kingdom based upon his invalid visa. attempting to achieve through a deportation proceeding what the courts denied in the extradition proceeding. Joe Doherty once again resisted the Justice Departments efforts and the courts once again sustained him. On November 14. 1988. the Board of Immigration Appeals held that Joe Doherty was entitled to apply for political asylum in this country. however. on June 30. 1989. the Attorney General overruled that decision and denied Mr. Doherty a political asylum hearing. Senate Concurrent Resolution 62 commends the Board of Immigration Appeals for Its decision that Joe Doherty be permitted to apply for political asylum. calls on the Attorney General to reverse his order overruling the BIAs decision. and calls on the authorities to immediately address Mr. Dohertys ball application pending the outcome of his proceedings. I support this concurrent resolution. and look forward to its swift adoption.e
