Other accomplishments were just as important. As the guidelines governing decisions about how and when to conduct investigations were nearing completion. the process was launched to establish standards to govern the equally important area of prosecutorial decisionssuch as when to charge an accused. when to bargain for a guilty plea. when the Federal Government should prosecute an individual already prosecuted in State court for a related offense. and when to grant immunity in exchange for testimony. Immigration policies were reformulated to deal with illegal immigration within a framework that protected the rights of individuals. His comments then are just as relevant today: We must remember that we face the problem of unlawful immigration because we remain the worlds best hope. Unauthorized immigrants are responding to the same human impulses that motivated each of our forebears. We must address the illegal alien issue in a manner compatible with our democratic values and our tradition as a nation of nations. I also recall the time when the Ford administration. acting through Attorney General Levi. proposed major new handgun control legislation to require a waiting period before a handgun could be purchased. The Ford administration sought in vain to find a Senator from the Presidents own party willing to introduce such legislation.
