At the same time. the conferees have repaired many of the dangerous and unnecessary civil rights violations In the bill reported by the Judiciary Committee. and which the distinguished ranking member. the gentleman from California and I sought to correct In our subsltute. I am pleased that the conferees have responded to some of our concerns. This bill no longer allows asylum officers summarily to send refugees back into the hands of their oppressors without review. This bill no longer allows individuals to be deported without knowing the charges or basis of that deportation. They will now be allowed to select their own attorneys and those attorneys will have the ability to consult fully with their clients about the case. This bill provides clearer standards for designating organizations as terrorist organizations and court review of that designation.
