The Honorable Peter W. Rodino
Chairman
Committee on the Judiciary
House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515
I write in response to your request for the Agency's views
on H.R. 1119, a bill to amend the Immigration and Nationality
ACt.
The Agency notes with concern that provision of the bill
which would amend existing Section 279 of the Act (8 U.S.C.
X1329) so as to allow United States persons to seek judicial
review of a decision to exclude an alien on national security
grounds. Apart from the merits of this proposal, the Agency
is concerned with the potential for disclosure of sensitive
information which these suits could create. As the
administration of the Act is the responsibility of the
Departments of State and Justice, however, the Agency defers
to their views on this as well as other provisions in the bill.
We appreciate this opportunity to comment on this item of
legislation.
Sincerely,
David D. Gries
Director of Congressional Affairs
