Opening Statement Of Hon. Howard M. Metzenbaum, U.S. Senator From The State Of Ohio; Chairman Of The Subcommittee Senator Metzenbaum. The subcommittee will come to order. Today we will hold the first of two hearings designed to give the broad issue of diplomatic immunity a full review, one that is long overdue. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee will also hold hearings on this matter on February 21. We are concerned here with a law, originally passed in 1790, which gives more than 20,000 people associated with foreign embassies throughout the country, complete immunity from prosecution for laws which they may violate. This immunity, which is incorporated in 22 U.S.C. section 2.52, was originally designed almost two centuries ago to assist diplomats in effectively performing their duties in a foreign country and to protect them in the same manner in which they would be protected in their home country. [See p. 84 of the appendix for a copy of the 1790 Act.] Unfortunately, this immunity from prosecution has led to a number of abuses, large and small. Today we will hear testimony about abuses and about a series of proposals that have been suggested to deal with this issue. Many of the current problems have arisen because present law fails to make many needed distinctions. In the first place, that law does not distinguish between those people associated with foreign offices who are truly engaged in foreign affairs - the diplomats and charges d´affairs - and other regular employees such as chauffeurs, gardeners, domestics, and their families.
