Expresses the concern of the House of Representatives over the pending Supplementary Extradition Treaty between the United States and the United Kingdom because of the treaty's: (1) effort to destroy the traditional "political offense" exception to extradition; and (2) retroactivity.
Declares that the House of Representatives believes that changes in extradition law should be accomplished through legislation, not treaty, and that the House opposes renegotiation of existing extradition treaties on a country-by-country basis.
Expresses the concern of the House that the system of justice in Northern Ireland would not give due process to persons extradited back under terms of the Supplementary Treaty.
Urges the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to end its consideration of such treaty.
