Speakers included representatives of the Department of Justice and the Department of State, law professors, a representative of the American Civil Liberties Union, and a representative of the Lawyers Committee for International Human Rights. Written materials came from these speakers, the secretary of the American Bar Association, attorneys, a law professor, and a magistrate. The proposed law was praised for clarifying the matters that must be set forth in a complaint, authorizing the appointment of counsel for someone sought for extradition, and allowing both sides to appeal adverse lower court rulings. The definition of a political offense, for which extradition would not be provided, and the procedures surrounding this issue were a source of concern and extensive discussion. A table shows the granting of bail to fugitives arrested in the United States for extradition to foreign countries from 1980-82.
