The committee will look to whether there are other appropriate steps we can take to limit the ability of terrorists to wreak havoc through explosion. We should also explore the feasibility and effectiveness of using taggantsenabling explosives to be tracked from manufacture. to purchase. to use. Another issue raised by the World Trade Center incident is whether the Immigration and Naturalization Service has the resources necessary to identify those individuals who should not enter or remain in this country and follow through on that determination. We are a nation of immigrants whose strengths is founded in our diversity. We must not close our borders to todays immigrants who will continue that tradition. We must also continue to offer a safe haven to those who face persecution at the hands of authoritarian regimes. But. with procedural safeguards intact. we must ensure that those who come here to do violence are excluded quickly and with finality. The full committee. and Senator KENNEDYS Subcommittee on Immigration. will review the INS policies and practices and seek answers to key questions: When an individual is on the list of suspected terrorists. is entry to the country denied? Is such information available to embassies abroad which issue visas for entry? If such a person enters somehow. what is the procedure for deportation? Finally. the committee will examine whether building and communications security needs improvement and what technologies for improvement exist: Can garage security procedures be reasonably changed to facilitate detection of explosives? Can communication. fire. and escape systems be located or otherwise protected so as to better withstand attack?
