                   IN ASYLUM CASES.

       Section 235(b)(1)(B)(v) of the Immigration and Nationality 
     Act (8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(1)(B)(v)) is amended read as follows
       ``(v) Credible fear of persecution defined.--For purposes 
     of this subparagraph, the term `credible fear of persecution' 
     means that it is more probable than not, taking into account 
     the credibility of the statements made by the alien in 
     support of the alien's claim and such other facts as are 
     known to the officer, that the alien could establish 
     eligibility for asylum under section 208.''.
