We would certainly be open to looking at and considering any constructive amendment, as has been the case in the past.
The reason we decided to streamline the designation process in this bill is that we were concerned that running the designation process through committee and a more lengthy process would make it more difficult for us to respond quickly to emerging waves of unfounded claims. It would also make it more difficult for us to designate a country the moment we provided it with a visa exemption.
Members of your party ask me all the time to get back to a visa exemptions for certain countries. If we want to do that prudently, in my view, we need to consider using the tool of designation quickly—immediately in some cases—based on the criteria.
I just want to close by saying that there are criteria—a country with at least 30 claims; a 75% rejection rate, meaning that 75% of the claims or more have been abandoned, withdrawn, or rejected; or one from whom 60% of the claims have been withdrawn or abandoned.
