Asylum Reform: Recommendations, Memoranda and Commentaries, 1993
Scope and Contents
This addition reflects, almost entirely, Martin’s work with the Immigration and Naturalization Service with the development of new asylum reforms during the Clinton administration. There are numerous proposals, reports, drafts, research studies, correspondence, notes, memos and other important documents. Martin believed that with “…a well-designed system capable of resolving cases on the merits within six months, there would be less of a felt need to turn to devices that keep people away from our shore….” (National Journal, 8/7/93, p. 1979) and that the U. S. asylum system could be controlled.
The Administrative Conference of the United States (ACUS) Migrant Project papers consist of proposals, reports, research materials, and Martin’s personal notes on migrants health, education, job training, etc. There are also some Farmworkers Conference, Council on Foreign Relations and International Law Association Refugee Committee documents.
