Thirty law enforcement treaties were being considered by the Committee in these hearings: 13 extradition treaties, 16 mutual legal assistance treaties, and 1 prisoner transfer treaty. All of these are designed to further law enforcement interests and generally enjoy bipartisan support. These treaties serve to create a web of relationships that make it increasingly difficult for criminals to find a safe haven from prosecution. Witnesses: Jamison S. Borek, Deputy Legal Advisor, U.S. Department of State, and Mark M. Richard, Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Div., U.S. Dept. of Justice.
