Speech #1030110276

Mr. President. I am offering this amendment on behalf of myself and the Senator from Wyoming the distinguished ranking minority member and former chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration and Refugee Affairs of the Committee on the Judiciary. The SmithSimpson amendment is essentially identical to section 821. the removal of alien terrorist provisions of Senate bill 1356. or otherwise known as the Republican crime bill. As we see the end of the cold war. we see dramatically diminished the unrelenting threat of the nuclear war that plagued all Americans for so many decades. but there is another specter that still looms large. and that is the threat of the wave of terrorism that we see in the United States.
