Section 235(b)(1)(B)(v) of the Immigration and Nationality
Act (8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(1)(B)(v)) is amended by striking
``there is a significant possibility'' and all that follows,
and inserting ``, taking into account the credibility of the
statements made by the alien in support of the alien's claim,
as determined pursuant to section 208(b)(1)(B)(iii), and such
other facts as are known to the officer, the alien more
likely than not could establish eligibility for asylum under
section 208, and it is more likely than not that the
statements made by, and on behalf of, the alien in support of
the alien's claim are true.''.
