PER CURIAM.
We consider here the proper standards for reviewing a decision by an immigration judge ("IJ") denying asylum to an otherwise qualified applicant on the ground that the applicant has found a "safe haven" in a third country before applying for asylum in the United States. Such authority of the Attorney General was conferred by statute, and exercised for some years under two separate regulations (each now repealed) promulgated by the Attorney General.
