Speech #1100181524

Mr. President. I am very pleased the Senate will pass this legislation to exempt the African National Congress from designation under the Immigration and Nationality Act as a "terrorist" organization. The historic role that the African National Congress played in ending the era of Apartheid in South Africa is well known. and I suspect that its designation as a terrorist organization is a surprise to many Americans. That the organization Nelson Mandela helped create to fight against an official policy of racism is deemed a terrorist organization is wrong and should be corrected. I commend Senator KERRY and Congressman BERMAN for their attention to this issue. and the Members of the Judiciary CommitteeSenators BIDEN.
