Just because somebody slipped these provisions into the conference report. let us not go along with it. This is something that should be debated. Our own Department of Justice does not support these provisions of the bill. I think in fact the Justice Department reiterated their opposition to them in an April 16 letter on similar provisions in the immigration bill to the majority leader. Deputy Attorney General Gorelick wrote us. "absent smuggling or an extraordinary migration situation. we can handle asylum applications for excludable aliens under our regular procedures." I reserve the balance of my time and yield to the Senator from Utah.
