  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. President, I would like to announce for the 
information of the Senate and the public that the Permanent 
Subcommittee on Investigations of the Committee on Governmental Affairs 
will hold a hearing entitled ``Review of INS Policy on Releasing 
Illegal Aliens Pending Deportation Hearing.'' The upcoming subcommittee 
hearing will examine how the Immigration and Naturalization Service, 
INS, processes persons arrested for illegal entry into the United 
States outside ports of entry, as well as the difference between 
procedures used at ports of entry and procedures used outside ports of 
entry for persons seeking or obtaining illegal entry into the United 
States. The hearing will ask the question whether current procedures 
makes sense in light of the September 11 terrorist attack and our 
ongoing effort to defeat terrorism.
  The hearing will take place on Tuesday, November 13, 2001, at 9:30 
a.m., in room 342 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. For further
