The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:06 a.m., in room SD-419, the Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Claiborne Pell (chairman of the committee) presiding.
Present: Senators Pell and Kerry.
The Chairman. The Committee on Foreign Relations will come to order. I would ask the Honorable John Snattuck, the Honorable Conrad Harper, and the Honorable Deval Patrick to come forward. I believe Mr. Patrick is here.
Mr. Patrick. I am.
The Chairman. I believe you have another engagement afterward.
Mr. Patrick. I do.
The Chairman. So let us start off with your testimony now, and then hope the State Department witnesses turn up as you are testifying. If not, we will move on to the public panel.
So we are now hearing from the Honorable Deval Patrick, Assistant Attorney General, Civil Rights Division, Department of Justice.
Statement Of Deval Patrick, Assistant Attorney General, Civil Rights Division, Department Of Justice
Mr. Patrick. Mr. Chairman, thank you very much, and to the members of the committee.
I am very pleased to appear today in support of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. I have a formal statement, which I believe has been distributed. And I ask that that written statement be made a part of the record.
The Chairman. That will be done without objection.
Mr. Patrick. Mr. Chairman, I will be brief in my remarks. It is particularly appropriate, in our view, that this committee should take up this Convention, since it draws so heavily on the principles and protections developed in this country through many years of struggle in Congress and in the courts.
