Mr. President. I also rise in support of the Leahy amendment. Senator SIMPSON is correct that for a period. we went through this where people just memorized three or four words in the English language. "I seek asylum." When his bill was first introduced. I was inclined to believe some additional strengthening language was needed. But I was visited by the INS people. I have to say Commissioner Doris Meissner just has made a terrific impression on all of us. She really knows her stuff. is very conscientious. and is very able. This mornings Washington Post has a story. "Russia Bars Jewish Agency." and the Russian Ambassador to Israel said he thinks it was just a bureaucratic slipup.
