The government has had the authority to seize property connected to illegal activity since the founding days of the Republic. Forfeiture may involve seizing contraband, like drugs, or the tools of the trade that facilitate the crime.

Further, forfeiture is critical to taking the profits out of the illegal activity. Profit is the motivation for many crimes like drug trafficking and racketeering, and it is from these enormous profits that the criminal activity thrives and sustains. The use of traditional criminal sanctions of fines and imprisonment are inadequate to fight the enormously profitable trade in illegal drugs, organized crime, and other such activity, because even if one offender is imprisoned, the criminal activity continues.

Criminal and civil forfeiture is essential to ensure that crime does not pay. Criminals must not be allowed to enjoy the fruits of their illegal activity. In fact, some criminals would prefer to spend some time in prison if they can live off the proceeds of their illegally-gotten gains when they are released.

Civil forfeiture is sometimes the only avenue open to law enforcement. For example, sometimes the criminal remains in a foreign base of operation and is untouchable from criminal prosecution. Here, the government's only option may be to take his illegal assets through civil forfeiture.

Asset forfeiture deters crime. It has been a major weapon in the war on drugs since the mid-1980's, when we expanded civil forfeiture to give it a more meaningful role. One of the reforms at the time permitted law enforcement to keep forfeiture proceeds, and it has become an important source of revenue for law enforcement. This is especially true for State and local law enforcement, which depend on the millions of dollars in shared money for various purposes, such as officer training and to upgrade equipment. Another benefit of forfeiture is that some assets are returned to victim owners, and we need to consider expanding this area even more to allow civil forfeiture to pay restitution to victims.

At the same time, forfeiture is about the government using its powers to take private property, and there must be adequate restrictions to prevent abuse of this power. The Supreme Court has imposed some limits, such as holding that criminal and many civil forfeitures can constitute an excessive fine in violation of the Eighth Amendment if they are grossly disproportionate to the offense. Also, law enforcement agencies should not view forfeiture simply as a way to make money for their agencies, but as a way to fight crime. Prosecutors must use good judgment in case selection and settlement posture, and show a healthy respect for property rights. Forfeiture should never result in the government taking the property of innocent Americans.

Most agree that additional reforms of Federal civil forfeiture laws are needed. For example, the administration believes that the government should have the burden of proving that it is more likely than not that the property was involved in the criminal activity, rather than the owner having to prove that the property was not involved.

There is wide support for developing a more uniform innocent owner defense. Further, some are concerned that under current law, the government is not liable when it negligently damages property in its possession, even when the property is later returned to its innocent owner.

The Civil Asset Forfeiture Act that has passed the House would fundamentally alter Federal civil forfeiture. I respect the sincere efforts of its sponsors to achieve needed reform in this area. However, if passed in its current form, I am concerned that it goes too far. It may undermine the use of forfeiture law in the war against drugs, child pornography, money laundering, telemarketing fraud, terrorism, and a host of other crimes.

For example, we should not make the government's burden of proof in a civil forfeiture higher than it is in a criminal forfeiture. Also, we should not make it so easy for anyone to request a lawyer at government expense that it overwhelms the system with frivolous claims.

There must be balance in any reform of the forfeiture laws. We cannot tie the hands of law enforcement in an effort to stop well-publicized examples of abuse. We must make certain that reform does not give criminals the upper hand.

Strom Thurmond

Asset forfeiture has emerged from its early use in admiralty cases as a significant tool in modern law enforcement's war on drugs and other crime. Utilizing criminal and civil forfeiture laws, today's law enforcement officers routinely free our streets and neighborhoods of substantial quantities of illicit drugs, unlawful assault weapons, counterfeit currency, smuggled goods, as well as the instruments of crime. Forfeiture has played an even greater role in proving the old adage, "crime doesn't pay," forcing criminals to forfeit the profits of their unlawful acts and recovering property for their innocent victims. Finally, forfeiture has provided state, local and federal law enforcement with important additional resources with which to fight crime.

But the great benefits of the forfeiture laws in the fight against crime must be balanced with the rights of innocent property owners. Significant questions related to 8th Amendment protections and Due Process concerns must be answered. I hope we can get closer to doing so here today. Several legislative reform proposals have been offered seeking to strike the appropriate balance between individual rights and law enforcement needs. I thank Congressman Hyde for his leadership in the House in this effort, and I appreciate his willingness to share his proposals with us here today. I am pleased that the Administration is also constructively engaged in the debate. Mr. Holder will raise some very important concerns with the House Reform proposal that I too share.

Chuck Schumer

Federal asset forfeiture and practice is one of a host of law enforcement versus civil liberties issues that have come to a rolling boil recently, after heating up over a number of years. These issues transcend party lines and cut across the usual coalitions, making them one of the most fascinating issues to watch. They excite strong passions and they come down to balancing competing interests, each of which is substantial in its own right.

I think the first step to resolving this issue is to state what this debate is not about. It is not about whether there should be civil asset forfeiture or not, and it is not about one side supporting reform and the other side inalterably opposing reform.

Indeed, I suspect that every witness we hear from today, from libertarian to law enforcement, will tell us that he or she considers civil asset forfeiture to be a legitimate law enforcement tool and, as well, that he or she is amenable to some degree of reform. And from there, there is even agreement on some of the basic elements of reform, such as assigning the burden of proof to the government and creating a uniform innocent defense. Unfortunately, the consensus ends at the shores of the details.

What should be the government's burden of proof in a civil forfeiture proceeding? There is disagreement there. What should be the scope of an innocent owner defense? Disagreement there. When, if ever, should seized property be returned, pending completion of a forfeiture proceeding? What are the loopholes in current forfeiture law that protect the fruits of illegal activity from forfeiture in circumstances where forfeiture is clearly appropriate? These issues, among others, represent the fault lines of this debate.

I, for one, am concerned that the bill passed by the House, while undoubtedly well-intentioned, may not have struck the proper balance in terms of rewriting Federal forfeiture law. I fear it may inadvertently give sophisticated money launderers and drug lords too great an advantage against law enforcement in their efforts to insulate the fruits of crime from forfeiture.

And I am also concerned about the bill's failure to close some inexplicable loopholes in Federal forfeiture law that prevent forfeiture in cases where it is clearly appropriate. If reform, in fact, worked to render civil asset forfeiture but a paper tiger, the consequences would be dire. Instrumentalities of the drug trade would remain in circulation rather than being put out of commission for good. Clever criminals who knew how to put a good distance between themselves and the proceeds of their illegal acts could very well be able to operate without meaningful consequence. So the right version of reform would restore public confidence in civil asset forfeiture which is needed without entailing such results.

I believe today's hearing will help us strike the proper balance on this most important issue. I know that other members of this panel share at least some of my concerns -- I know you do, Mr. Chairman -- and I look forward to working with them to ensure that, above all, we act responsibly, preserving civil asset forfeiture as an effective means of ensuring that crime does not pay, while addressing current law's due process shortcomings.

Mr. Chairman, I know that asset forfeiture is a powerful crime-fighting tool. As you suggested in your statement, it has been a particularly potent weapon in the war on drugs, allowing the government to take the cars and boats and stash houses amassed by drug dealers and put them to honest use. In fact, I think the government was able to seize about $500 million worth of assets, cutting a big chunk out of the criminals' profits. But it is not failsafe and it can be abused.

In the past year, Americans have had firsthand experience with what can happen when a prosecutor with all the powers of his office throws judgment to the wind and succumbs to zealotry. There is one example of a motel that was being used by drug dealers. There was no allegation that hotel owners participated in any crimes. Indeed, the motel people had called the police dozens of times to report suspected drug-related activity in the motel's rooms by some of its overnight guests. I mean, they were doing what an honest citizen should do; they called and reported it.

But the government said they didn't do all the security measures suggested. What did they suggest? Well, among other things, they said, well, you have got to raise your room rates. And because they didn't, they were giving tacit consent to the drug activity, and so they seized the motel.

Now, I am only a lawyer from a small town in Vermont, but I think maybe the burden should have been on the police. They had the crimes reported to them; the burden should have been on them to go in, not saying, here, raise your prices. A great law enforcement tactic that is, raise the prices. If these people were doing enough drug-dealing that justifies forfeiting and grabbing a motel, do you think they were going to be dissuaded because the room rates went up $10 or $20? Of course not. The government eventually dropped this action, but only after the owners were forced to spend a lot of money that should have been exacted from the drug dealers.

So we are going to hear examples of what happens when prosecutorial zeal skirts the boundaries of due process, leading to the taking of private property, regardless of whether the owner is innocent of, or even cognizant of the property's use in an illegal act.

Our Federal judges are adding their voices to the growing chorus of concern. In 1996, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals rebuked the government for capitalizing on the claimant's confusion to forfeit over $70,000 of their currency, and expressed alarm that the war on drugs has brought us to the point where the government may seize a citizen's property without any initial showing of cause.

We put the onus on the citizen to perfectly navigate the bureaucratic labyrinth in order to liberate what is presumptively his or hers in the first place. And if the citizen proves inept in proving his innocence, in effect, the government may keep the property without ever having to justify or explain its actions. The Seventh Circuit recently ordered the return of over $500,000 in currency that had been improperly seized from a Chicago pizzeria.

Now, it is this notion of guilty property that enables the government to seize property, regardless of the guilt or innocence of the property owner. In fact, in many asset forfeiture cases, the person whose property is taken is never charged with any crime.

I have no problem at all, if a person is convicted, if the courts want to order, as a part of the sentence, the seizure of some of their property. That is fine, if they have been convicted. If the government has proven that the property is somehow either the gains of the defendants' criminal activity or used in their criminal activity, fine, convict them and seize it. That doesn't bother me a bit.

But the guilty property notion kind of explains the topsy- turvy nature of today's civil forfeiture proceedings in which the property owner, not the government, bears the burden of proof. That worries me if we have a case where all the government has to do is make an initial showing of probable cause that the property is guilty and subject to forfeiture. It is then up to the property owner to prove that the property was not involved in any wrongdoing.

I think we have to look at these laws and bring them in line with more modern principles of due process and fair play. H.R. 1658, the Civil Asset Forfeiture Act, would provide safeguards for individuals whose property has been seized by the government. I think that is why this bipartisan legislation passed the House of Representatives last month by an overwhelming majority and deserves our prompt consideration.

The administration says that H.R. 1658 would interfere with its ability to combat drug trafficking, alien smuggling, and so on. Well, we should take those concerns seriously, but I think considering some of the misuse of the forfeiture laws -- and I will tell you right now, I know we have distinguished law enforcement people here ready to testify, but in every State in the Union there are police officers who will tell us of misuse of this.

Most police officers would be very careful to do it the right way. Most police officers want to be within the law. But in no department in any State can you go and find that people are going to be able to say never, ever was it used as a pressure tactic; never, ever was the determination of who to go after based on what assets might be seized.

The right to own property doesn't include the right to keep ill-gotten gains. But under our Constitution, deprivation of property and due process have to go hand in hand; you can't have one without the other. So I want to make sure we keep this fair. I want to make sure that we have not taken something that was meant to be a good crime-fighting tool and allowed it to get way out of control.

But let's not just go seizing property because somebody wants to grab it and then the person who owned it has the burden of proving their innocence, not the other way around.

Since you and I were the ones that wrote the forfeiture law years ago, Mr. Chairman, I don't want it to be concluded, although it is easy for that to happen, that my opposition to the House position is based upon it not being invented here. That is not the case.

Joe Biden

I think it is really important that we have the hearing, as we all do, because I think it is important to get into some of the details, some of the horror stories that we just heard, for example. If the Senator from Vermont was referring to the Red Carpet Inn case when he was talking about it, the facts aren't accurate. The Federal Government never did seize that motel.

With regard to the Chicago pizza case which we hear all the time, there was a bottom-line problem. The court ruled there was no probable cause. It did not have to do with much else, as they concluded, as they do in many other cases, that there wasn't sufficient probable cause.

There are some abuses of the systems. There are ways to correct that. I have been working very closely with Senator Schumer, as well as our staff with Senator Sessions and others. I think we three probably come at it from a slightly different angle than the House does, and I think and I hope we can work our way through this to make corrections that don't over- correct a problem that doesn't exist.

I think that both the Justice Department and the House have exaggerated their worst case scenarios. I think they both have exaggerated it, and I think this needs some tinkering with. I don't think this needs a major overhaul. And my hope is here that when you finish your hearing or series of hearings, Mr. Chairman, that we will arrive at some consensus here.

I will conclude by ending where Senator Schumer opened. The government acknowledges -- we acknowledge that the burden should be upon the government now. That is a reasonable, that is a logical, that is a good change, and it is positive. There are other changes of that nature that I think we ought to be able to work out a compromise on that doesn't meet, I will say, the administration's position fully, but is a far cry from where the House is.

So I am grateful that the chairman would come over here and testify before us. I had the pleasure of doing that in reverse roles on a number of occasions. It is nice to see him over here in a capacity other than the one we saw him mostly in on this side recently. I bet he is even more overjoyed than we are that he is here for that reason, but I look forward to the testimony.

Note

[The prepared statement of Senator Biden follows:] Prepared Statement of Senator Joseph R. Biden, Jr. I'm glad that we are taking this opportunity to talk about this very important issue. I think it is imperative that we not rush this process, but that we hear from federal and local law enforcement, from concerned groups and from citizens -- so that we can make educated judgments about these significant and complex issues.

This issue is particularly important because we must find a way to protect the due process rights of the innocent citizens of this country while at the same time preserving one of the most valuable tools that law enforcement has -- asset forfeiture.

I have looked at the major provisions of the bill that recently passed in the House and have reviewed similar provisions in the bill drafted by the Department of Justice. I think neither bill provides the kind of balance necessary to accomplish those, competing goals and that we need to find a more moderate approach.

I believe we need legislation that incorporates some ideas from the House bill and some from the Department of Justice bill. I would like to see a balanced bi-partisan alternative that has a reasonable chance of passage in both Houses and a strong likelihood of making it past the President's desk.

I have been working with Senators Sessions, Schumer and Feinstein on this and have likewise been working with the National Association of Police Officers, the National District Attorney's Association, the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the Fraternal Order of Police. I want to continue to meet with law enforcement groups to learn what issues are most important to them and get their help in crafting a workable way to preserve this important law enforcement tool.

Bob Scully, the Executive Director of the National Association of Police Organizations wrote me recently regarding asset forfeiture. In that letter, he urges this Committee to carefully consider the concerns that the National Association for Police Organizations and the law enforcement community have regarding H.R. 1658. He asked that I make this letter a part of the record and I'm happy to do that now.

I will do whatever is reasonable and necessary to give law enforcement the tools that they need to do their job -- while providing our citizens with the protection against abuse that they obviously deserve. But, make no mistake -- drug dealers and their money launderers will not be able to hide from any piece of legislation that has my support. Drug dealers and their money launderers will never be able to keep their ill-gotten gains -- not while I'm sitting in this chair.

At any rate, I just hope we all keep an open mind here, and let's not accept at face value some of the broad assertions were are going to hear made. Let's look at the details of this.

I would ask unanimous consent, to further reveal my prejudice here -- and I have to admit the angle at which I am coming to this -- I have been asked by Robert T. Scully, the Executive Director of NAPO, whether his statement at the appropriate place could be placed in the record.

Again, I look forward to the testimony, but let's not -- as your old buddy President Reagan used to say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it is broke, fix it, but let's make sure what part is broke before we go over this wholesale method.

Dear Senator Biden., Jr.: On June 24, 1999 the House of Representatives passed H.R. 1658, the "Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 1999." Please be advised of the National Association of Police Organizations' (NAPO) adamant opposition to this legislation. NAPO represents over 4,000 unions and associations and more than 220,000 sworn law enforcement officers throughout the country.

As you know, Chairman Henry Hyde of the, House Judiciary Committee introduced H.R. 1658, on May 4, 1999, to reform Federal civil asset forfeiture procedures. During floor debate on H.R. 1658, Congressman Asa Hutchinson offered a substitute amendment, supported by NAPO and most of the national law enforcement organizations, which unfortunately was not adopted. Ironically, in the 105th Congress, the House Judiciary Committee overwhelmingly supported asset forfeiture legislation similar to the Hutchinson amendment calling for moderate asset forfeiture reform.

This year's legislation would preclude law enforcement from properly performing their duties and at the same time, give an added advantage to alleged criminals and drug dealers. This legislation would limit police powers and inhibit the ability of law enforcement to seize property such as cash, securities, cars, boats and real estate. Over the last decade we have experienced a decline in crime. However, this is no time to undermine the ability of law enforcement to combat drug trafficking, alien smuggling, terrorism, consumer fraud and many other criminal offenses.

Furthermore, police departments across this nation already have severely restricted budgets and by lessening income potential from asset forfeiture through this bill, the federal government would be drastically handicapping law enforcement capabilities in seizing illegal property. The ability of law enforcement to seize property is an important tool in this nation's `war on drugs'. Asset forfeiture acts as a strong deterrent and deprives drug dealers from profiting from their illegal activities.

NAPO urges members of the Senate Judiciary committee not to move forward with H.R. 1658 but instead to enact sensible asset forfeiture legislation. When the Judiciary Committee debates the plight of H.R. 1658, we respectfully request that members consider the potential consequences on law enforcement if this legislation is enacted.

There are a number of provisions in H.R. 1658 that need to be addressed and amended in order for law enforcement to sufficiently carry out their duties, as follows: (1) Currently in order for law enforcement to seize property they need `probable cause' the same standard of proof that is required to arrest a person or secure a warrant to search a person's home. This legislation, however, would require that law enforcement prove by `clear and convincing evidence' that the property was used in an illegal manner. The legislation shifts the burden of proof in an extreme manner to the government. NAPO feels a `clear and convincing' standard sets the bar too high, and NAPO supports `a preponderance of evidence' standard of proof as compromise legislation. (2) This bill would also allow the court to appoint counsel for `any person claiming an interest in the seized property'. This language creates the potential to encourage an inordinate amount of frivolous claims and litigation to seized property. Their "free appointed counsel" would come at the expense of taxpayers. NAPO supports language that provides the appointment of counsel for those who cannot afford it. However, NAPO also supports safeguards to prevent frivolous claims in H.R. 1658 that would entitle `anyone who simply claims an interest' in the seized property to acquire a government funded lawyer. (3) Similar to H.R. 1658, NAPO supports language that creates an `innocent owner' defense so those who legitimately may not know someone else used their property illegally can take reasonable steps to defend against the governments claim. However, included in the term `innocent owner' under H.R. 1658 are those who receive property through probate, which would forever be protected against forfeiture. NAPO does not support relatives of a drug lord who was killed in a shoot out with law enforcement authorities, for example, to claim that they are innocent owners of illegal property. Therefore, NAPO supports an amendment or legislation that would close this egregious loophole. (4) H.R. 1658 states (section 2 (k)(1)) that a claimant "is entitled to immediate release of seized property if (c) the continued possession by the United States Government pending the final disposition of forfeiture proceedings will cause substantial hardship to the claimant." However, the only minimal burden the claimant must meet for transfer of assets is that hardship to the claimant outweighs any risk that the property will be destroyed, damaged, lost concealed or transferred. NAPO supports legislation that would ensure the government has the means to inspect that property while the forfeiture proceeding is pending, and would make clear that certain types of property (such as currency, evidence of the crime and contraband) cannot be returned even if hardship is shown. (5) Finally, under H.R. 1658 an agency seizing property must give written notice no less then 60 days or `it shall return the property and may not take any further action to effect the forfeiture of such property'. NAPO supports legislation that would make certain that the forfeiture is not foreclosed, merely because of an administrative mistake of not meeting the 60-day deadline. I urge the Senate Judiciary Committee to carefully consider the concerns that NAPO and the law enforcement community have regarding H.R. 16S8. If I can be of any assistance on this or any other matter, please don't hesitate to call myself or Mike Troubh, NAPO's legislative assistant. Sincerely, Robert T. Scully, Executive Director.

Now, our first panel consists of the distinguished chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Chairman Henry Hyde, and another member of the House Judiciary Committee, Congressman Anthony Weiner. Chairman Hyde is the primary sponsor of H.R. 1658, the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act. They are both very knowledgeable on the issue of asset forfeiture. We are very pleased to hear from both of them.

Thank you very much, Senator, and I am really delighted -- "exultant" is really too strong a word, but I am really pleased to be here. I view every one of you as a friend and a colleague, and I thank you, Senator Thurmond, especially, for holding this hearing.

I would just say to my good friend, Senator Biden, if he would look at our report -- and I will leave this with you -- it cites chapter and verse on the Red Roof Motel, which was a real happening and an abuse of the forfeiture laws, in my opinion.

There are lots of issues you deal with over a course of years. I have been here 25 years, and I am not a novice in negotiating with this very group of Senators. We negotiated some years ago on the independent counsel law, and I am suppressing the urge to say I told you so.

Seven years ago, I read an editorial and I couldn't believe my eyes that in my America, in your America, the police can confiscate your property based on probable cause. You don't have to be convicted, you don't even have to be charged, but on probable cause, the lowest level of accusation, your property can be seized.

Now, if you want to get your property back, you have a magnificent 10 days to file your claim, hire a lawyer, post a bond, 10 percent of the value, go into court and prove a negative, prove that your property was not involved. I thought, what a wonderful judicial system for the Soviet Union that puts the burden of proof on its head and makes you have to prove a negative, and you better do it within 10 days, I guess under certain circumstances 20 days. You better have a lawyer, you better post a bond, and you better be able to prove a negative.

I couldn't believe that was the practice in my country, but I checked into it and I found out, oh, yes, it is, and for 6 years I have been trying to change this to get the burden of proof where it belongs. You shouldn't be punished on probable cause. You should be punished if you are guilty of something, but not probable cause, the lowest level possible. I wrote a book on this. Each of you have a copy of the book.

We put together a bill and, miracle of miracles, supporting it are the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Rifle Association, the Cato Institute, and a ton of very respectable people -- the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the American Bar Association, Americans for Tax Reform, the National Association of Realtors, the American Bankers Association, the National Association of Home Builders, on and on and on, a very distinguished group of people who agree with me that you shouldn't be punished for probable cause.

I thought you were a coalition- builder, Senator. That is eclecticism gone rampant. But nonetheless, there is a balance of people who think it is outrageous that you have to prove you are innocent, prove a negative, to retain your own property.

Then I found out if the government confiscates your property, if they damage it, if they shatter it, if they ruin it, that is your tough luck. They are not accountable, they are not responsible. And so in the bill that we put together with bipartisan support -- liberals, conservatives, moderates, quasi- moderates, semi-liberals, the whole panoply across the board, 375 of them -- the bill requires that if a property owner challenges a seizure, the Federal Government must prove by clear and convincing evidence the property is subject to forfeiture. You know, the right of property was recognized in the Ten Commandments: "Thou Shalt Not Steal."

Now, why clear and convincing? Because it is punishment. When they take your house, when they take your farm, when they take your automobile, when they take your business, when they take your cash, they are punishing you. This isn't a civil action merely; it is quasi-criminal. And when they punish you, there ought to be maybe not the criminal standard of proof, beyond a reasonable doubt, but a mere preponderance is for fender bender cases. In this situation, if the government wants to bankrupt you and take your property on probable cause, it seems to me there ought to be clear and convincing evidence.

The bill allows the judge to order the property released pending final disposition if the judge determines it would work a terrible hardship on you. If it is your business and they have taken possession of your business and you are going to be a ward of the State and your family is going to be on welfare, these are things a judge can consider. It is giving a judge flexibility to be humane depending on the situation.

The bill allows judges to appoint counsel for indigents in civil forfeiture proceedings. It isn't much good to say you have the right to get your property back if you can't afford a lawyer. They have impoverished you by confiscating your assets and you have got to go find a lawyer that will take your case. So this allows counsel for indigents in civil forfeiture proceedings.

It also eliminates the requirement that you have to post a 10-percent bond. There is no earthly reason for you posting a bond. Either you have got a case or you don't, and the bond is just another hurdle to keep you from justice.

It provides a uniform innocent owner defense, and that was involved in the case Senator Biden talked about where this motel in a very tough neighborhood, a crime-ridden neighborhood, had drug transactions going on. And the owners repeatedly reported it to the police, withheld permission. You try to evict some drug dealers sometime; I wish you a lot of luck. But the police couldn't do it, and the police took his property, and he finally got it back after the Houston newspapers raised hell and wrote editorials, and I have them here.

So an innocent owner defense is where you do everything you can. You report it to the police, you withhold permission for these illegal transactions, and that gives you a safe harbor. That is missing from the administration's bill, but it is in my bill and it is just and it is fair.

The bill allows a property owner to sue the government for destroying their property. You are in a yacht and you are floating off Miami and the DEA swoops down on you, puts you up against the mast and takes axes and hatchets and chops your boat up looking for cocaine. They don't find any, they wave good-bye, and there you are on a floating wood pile. I mean, that is right, that is a case. It happened, it is in my book. So this says you have to take care of the property once you have confiscated it, and the government can be accountable if they don't. We give 30 days to file the claim rather than 10 days or 20 days, depending on the circumstances. And if they have taken your cash, then the interest earned on that belongs to you. That is a tenant's right in any building.

You shouldn't be punished on probable cause. I believe in criminal asset forfeiture. I think if you are a drug dealer and you are guilty, not just accused, but you are guilty, you ought to lose your house, your car, and your shoes and socks. I am for that. But when you are not guilty, when you haven't been found guilty, when you haven't been charged, I don't want my country confiscating property just on probable cause, I really don't. When the government gets oppressive, you have no place to turn, except here to Congress. And these people have done that and that is all I want.

Henry Hyde

I will leave you with one last little famous case down in Memphis, where an African American was a landscaper, but he made the mistake of having $9,000 in cash in his pocket because he was going to Houston to buy shrubs and he could get a better deal if he paid cash. And so he went to this terminal, bought his ticket. The ticket agent saw the money, gave the signal. The police arrested him, confiscated his money, said it was probably drug proceeds, and let him go. He left. They didn't charge him with anything, but they kept his money. It took him a couple of years, with a lawyer, to finally get his $9,000 back. That is an abuse, that is an abuse.

So that is all I want is for you to read the editorials across the country supporting what we are doing, look at the organizations who support it. There must be something right about this bill when the left and the right, when the ACLU and the NRA and the Realtors and the ABA, support it.

Let me say at the outset that I am in full agreement with Chairman Hyde that reform is needed. Asset forfeiture is a centuries-old proposition, and in many respects it is showing its age. Laws that were originally designed to fight pirates on the high seas need to be updated to better fight drug dealers in our inner cities, and we need to enact these reforms so that our civil liberties are protected.

Chairman Hyde's bill makes these reforms. He has been pursuing this issue for many years, and he has quite literally written the book on the subject and I applaud his efforts. Where we differed during the House debate concerns the extent to which the scales of justice ought to be tilted toward a potential criminal. In my opinion, and in the opinion of every State, local and Federal law enforcement official who contacted us during the House consideration of this issue, Chairman Hyde's proposal would have the potential to wholly eviscerate our system of civil asset forfeiture.

As you begin to closely examine reform of our civil asset forfeiture laws, I would encourage you to consider the substitute to H.R. 1658 that I offered along with Representatives Hutchinson and Sweeney. While it did not command a majority, it did win bipartisan support from 155 of my colleagues. The support was backed by almost all major law enforcement groups, as well as the administration.

Our substitute does several things. One, it placed the burden of proof squarely on the government to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that property seized was used in illegal activity. Two, it allowed for counsel to be appointed for those people unable to afford their own lawyer during a forfeiture proceeding. We stated that the government ought to be able to explore whether counsel was actually needed. In my view, this is a necessary safeguard against abuse, given that there are over 45,000 forfeiture cases per year.

Three, we protected innocent owners in our bill as well. Four, we provided for a claimant to recover their property pending trial if he or she can show that the forfeiture will cause substantial hardship. And, five, we ensured that notice of a forfeiture action was given by the government to potential claimants within 60 days of seizure.

Mr. Chairman, these are not new proposals. Indeed, the House Judiciary Committee favorably reported out a civil asset forfeiture reform bill last Congress that embodied many of these same ideas. The vote then was 26 to 1. Senator Schumer introduced a bill in 1997 that contained many of these same provisions. The administration has sent draft language to the Hill that is similar in several respects to the substitute offered last month in the House.

I appreciate the opportunity to visit with you this afternoon and to commend you for structuring a hearing that will give air to all sides of this debate. As you begin your consideration of civil asset forfeiture reform, keep the goal of this critical crime-fighting tool in mind to make our cities and towns safer by depriving drug dealers and felons of the instrumentalities and proceeds of their criminal activity, something they have no right to.

Our civil asset forfeiture laws need to be tough, but they also need to be fair. Working with all concerned, it is my hope that this subcommittee can begin to find the common ground necessary so that together we can meet these twin goals.

Eric Holder, Jr.

In addition, I would like to thank Chairman Hyde for his being a leader on this issue. We agree with him that there is a need for reform with regard to asset forfeiture laws. Laws that were designed decades ago, or even centuries ago, need to be updated to apply to the ways in which they can be most constructively used today -- that is, to seize houses, cars, businesses and bank accounts which are the instrumentalities and proceeds of criminal activity -- in a manner which ensures fairness and due process.

Eric Holder, Jr.

For that reason, the Department of Justice has long supported revisions to the asset forfeiture laws, and we have sent a proposal to Congress which we believe would put those revisions into effect. In addition to reforming the basic civil asset forfeiture law, we also think that the current law needs to be augmented to provide law enforcement with more effective crime-fighting tools. The comprehensive forfeiture bill which we have submitted to Congress, we believe, does both.

Eric Holder, Jr.

While my written testimony comments on the specific provisions of that proposal and the bill recently passed by the House, let me highlight some key areas of our proposal. We believe we have addressed the significant concerns raised about the asset forfeiture laws and have done so in a way that enhances due process protections without unduly hampering necessary law enforcement activities. But I want to stress that we are eager to work with all sides on these issues, and I agree with Senator Biden that we can work together to come up with an acceptable bill here. In fact, it would be a real shame if we did not come to that result.

Eric Holder, Jr.

First, with regard to the burden of proof, the legislation that we have proposed places the burden of proof squarely on the government in civil asset forfeiture cases. This is a significant change. The government's burden would be to prove the connection between the property and the offense by a preponderance of the evidence. This is the same standard that is used in virtually every other kind of civil case, no matter how complex, in the Federal courts.

Third, with regard to a property owner's right to a hearing, under our proposal the government must file its forfeiture action within 90 days. And if we fail to do so, the owner may file a motion for the return of the seized property and has the right to a hearing before a judge on that motion.

Asset forfeiture has become one of the most powerful tools and important tools that we in Federal law enforcement have to employ against criminals who prey on the vulnerable for financial gain. Federal law enforcement agencies use the forfeiture law for a variety of reasons. The modern law allows the government to seize contraband, property that is simply unlawful to possess, like illegal drugs, unregistered machine guns, smuggled goods, and counterfeit money.

Forfeiture is also used to take the instrumentalities of crime out of circulation. If drug dealers are using a crack house to sell drugs to children as they pass by on the way to school, the building is a danger to the health and safety of the neighborhood. Under the forfeiture laws, we can rid the community of that crack house.

The government also uses forfeiture to take the profit out of crime and to return property to victims. No one has any right to retain the money gained from bribery, extortion, illegal gambling, or drug-dealing. Under the forfeiture laws, we can separate the criminal from his profits and any property traceable to it, thus removing the incentive that others may have to commit similar crimes tomorrow. And if the crime is one that has victims, like car-jacking or fraud, we can use the forfeiture laws to recover the property and restore it to the owners.

Now, the expansion of forfeiture laws into new areas has been controversial. When laws that were designed to seize, frankly, pirate ships from privateers are applied to the seizure of homes, cars, businesses, and bank accounts, there are a lot of concerns to address and a lot of answers to sort out. How do we protect innocent owners? What procedures afford due process? When does forfeiture go too far?

The executive and judicial branches of government have been very active in this sorting-out process. We at the Department have issued detailed guidelines and have engaged in a substantial amount of training for our people. The courts have been active as well. The Supreme Court has decided 11 forfeiture cases since 1992, and there have been hundreds of other cases dealing with all other aspects of asset forfeiture procedure in the lower courts.

It just seems to us that at a time that we consider needed reforms to civil forfeiture laws, I would urge that Congress expand forfeiture into new areas where it can be used to combat sophisticated, serious domestic and international criminal activity. From telemarketing, to terrorism, to counterfeiting, to violation of the food and drug laws, the remedy of asset forfeiture should be applied.

As I said at the outset, we firmly believe that the time has come to reform our laws. We have said this repeatedly since 1993 and we have said that Congress should enact legislation to ensure that forfeiture laws of the United States will be tough, but fair, which is exactly what the American people have a right to expect. I still very much believe that.

The time to reform the forfeiture laws has surely come. Laws designed decades, even centuries, ago to deal with the seizure of pirate ships on the high seas need to be updated to apply to the ways we should be most constructively using the forfeiture laws today -- to seize houses, cars, businesses and bank accounts which are the instrumentalities and proceeds of criminal activity, in a manner which ensures fairness and due process. For that reason, the Department of Justice has long supported revisions to the asset forfeiture laws, and we have sent a proposal to Congress putting those revisions into effect. In addition to reforming the basic civil asset forfeiture law, we also think that the current laws can be augmented to provide law enforcement with a more effective crime-fighting tool. A comprehensive forfeiture bill can do both.

Eric Holder, Jr.

Asset forfeiture has become one of the most powerful and important tools that federal law enforcement can employ against criminals -- from drug dealers, to terrorists, to white collar criminals -- who prey on the vulnerable for financial gain. Derived from the ancient practice of forfeiting vessels and contraband in Customs and Admiralty cases, forfeiture statutes are now found throughout the federal code. We are convinced that the large drop in crime this Nation has witnessed is related to effective use of the asset forfeiture laws, along with other important anti-crime measures.

Federal law enforcement agencies use the forfeiture laws for a variety of reasons. Like the statutes the First Congress enacted in 1789, the modern laws allow the government to seize contraband -- property that it is simply unlawful to possess, like illegal drugs, unregistered machine guns, smuggled goods and counterfeit money.

Forfeiture is also used to take the instrumentalities of crime out of circulation. If drug dealers are using a "crack house" to sell drugs to children as they pass by on the way to school, the building is a danger to the health and safety of the neighborhood. Under the forfeiture laws, we can rid the community of the crack house. Utilizing the Department's Weed and Seed program we can often ensure that the property goes to a community organization, which will then use it to better the lives of those in the neighborhood. If a boat or truck is being used to smuggle illegal aliens across the border, we can forfeit the vessel or vehicle to prevent its being used time and again for the same purpose. The same is true for an airplane used to fly cocaine from Colombia or Mexico to the United States, or a printing press used to mint phony $100 bills.

Eric Holder, Jr.

The government also uses forfeiture to take the profit out of crime and to return property to victims. No one has any right to retain the money gained from bribery, extortion, illegal gambling, or drug dealing. With the forfeiture laws, we can separate the criminal from his profits -- and any property traceable to it -- thus removing the incentive others may have to commit similar crimes tomorrow. And if the crime is one that has victims -- like carjacking or fraud -- we can use the forfeiture laws to recover the property and restore it to the owners.

Eric Holder, Jr.

There are several reasons why we do forfeitures. There are, however, two kinds of forfeiture: criminal and civil. The former is part of a criminal case against a defendant. The other is an entirely separate civil action. If most of our cases involve an arrest or prosecution -- which they do -- then why do we need civil forfeiture? Why can't we do most of our forfeitures as part of the criminal prosecution?

Everyone should understand that there is parallel criminal arrest and prosecution in the overwhelming majority of civil forfeiture cases. (In 1996, the rate was 81 percent in DEA cases.) But there are important reasons why the government must have civil forfeiture in addition to criminal.

First, criminal forfeiture is unavailable if the defendant is dead or is a fugitive. There is simply no criminal case in which to pursue forfeiture. Second, a substantial majority of the DEA and FBI's forfeiture cases are uncontested, often because the defendant in jail sees no point in claiming property that most likely connects him to the crime. Civil forfeiture allows us to dispose of these uncontested cases administratively.

Third, criminal forfeiture statutes are not comprehensive. Forfeiture in gambling, counterfeiting, and alien smuggling cases must be done civilly, as must almost all forfeitures of firearms, simply because there is no criminal forfeiture statute.

Fifth, criminal forfeiture is limited to the property of the defendant. If the DEA seizes an airplane loaded with drugs and arrests the pilot, it cannot forfeit the airplane in the criminal case against the pilot unless he owns the airplane. But that is rarely the case; the title is almost always in the name of a corporation abroad.

The result of this law enforcement activity is that last year the agencies of the Department of Justice took nearly $450 million out of the hands of criminals and deposited it into the Justice Department Assets Forfeiture Fund. That's $450 million that otherwise would have been available to drug dealers, pornographers, loan sharks and terrorists to use to ply their crimes against innocent citizens and their children.

The proliferation of forfeiture into new areas has been controversial. When laws that were designed to seize pirate ships from privateers are applied to the seizure of homes, cars, businesses and bank accounts, there are a lot of concerns to address and answers to sort out. How do we protect innocent property owners? What procedures afford due process? When does forfeiture go too far in violation of the Excessive Fines Clause of the Eighth Amendment?

Eric Holder, Jr.

The Executive and Judicial Branches of government have been very active in this sorting out this process. First, the Department of Justice has issued detailed policy guidelines governing the use of the administrative, civil judicial, and criminal forfeiture laws by all agencies of the Department. See Department of Justice Asset Forfeiture Policy Manual (1996). The Treasury Department has issued similar guidelines. Together, these guidelines help ensure that the forfeiture laws are administered fairly and effectively, with all appropriate consideration given to the rights of property owners. Moreover, we have conducted an intensive series of training sessions for law enforcement agents and federal prosecutors, including detailed instruction on how to incorporate forfeiture into criminal cases instead of relying exclusively on the civil forfeiture laws.

Eric Holder, Jr.

The courts have been extraordinarily active in this area, as well. The Supreme Court has decided eleven forfeiture cases since 1992, and hundreds of cases dealing with all aspects of forfeiture procedure have been decided by the lower courts. These cases have given much needed clarity and definition to the forfeiture laws and the rights of property owners, but they have also left loopholes and ambiguities that only Congress can resolve through legislation.

The cumulative effect of these efforts is evident. New examples of problems in the forfeiture program have been decidedly difficult for our opponents to find. We run a better program because our procedures are better defined, and our guidelines are rigorously enforced. As I said previously, the overwhelming majority of all forfeitures take place in conjunction with a related arrest and prosecution. And as a result of the emphasis on criminal forfeiture since 1994, approximately half of all contested forfeiture actions are now undertaken as part of criminal cases.

But we can do more. The asset forfeiture program is a vital law enforcement tool, but we recognize that no system, no program, no tool of law enforcement, however effective at fighting crime, can survive for long if the public thinks that it violates the basic principles of fairness and due process that lie at the core of the American system of justice. It is for that reason that we have supported efforts to make further revisions to the forfeiture laws -- not just by policy, not just by case law, but by statute -- to ensure fairness and procedural due process.

Eric Holder, Jr.

We said before and we say again that the burden of proof in civil forfeiture cases should be on the government. If the government seeks to forfeit a person's house, the government should have to prove that a crime was committed and that the property was involved in that crime; the burden should not be on property owner (e.g., to prove that he did not know that his property was being used illegally). We said before and we say again that there should be a uniform innocent owner defense available to claimants in all civil forfeiture cases. While the Supreme Court held in Bennis v. Michigan that an innocent owner defense is not mandated by the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, that does not mean Congress cannot enact such protection by statute. We think it should.

We said before, and we say again, that the time limits for filing claims should be extended to ensure that everyone has an adequate opportunity to obtain his day in court; that there should be relief for citizens whose property is damaged while in government custody; and that the government should pay interest on money that it seizes and later has to return.

All of these protections for citizens and property owners are included in the bill that we submitted to Congress. These proposals are derived substantially from the bill that Senator Schumer introduced in the House of Representatives in 1997, H.R. 1745, and we congratulate him for the leadership he has shown on this issue over the past several years.

Eric Holder, Jr.

Many of these proposals are included in the House bill, H.R. 1658. We are pleased that there is much common ground. But H.R. 1658 crosses the line between providing due process and giving unintended relief to drug dealers, money launderers, and other criminals who victimize the elderly and the vulnerable in our society. Let me give a few examples.

Eric Holder, Jr.

First, H.R. 1658 is seriously overbroad. It applies not just to drug and money laundering cases, but to virtually every one of the more than 200 civil forfeiture statutes in federal law. These are statutes used to protect the environment and endangered species, to recover artifacts stolen from Indian land, to combat terrorism, foil counterfeiters and break up gambling and pornography rings. If there are problems with forfeitures, those must be addressed but without the needless weakening of a tool that has been used for decades in so many different contexts without incident or complaint.

Eric Holder, Jr.

We support the enactment of a uniform innocent owner defense. A person who does not know that his/her property is being used illegally, or who becomes aware of the illegal use but takes all reasonable steps to try to stop it, should not suffer the loss of the property through forfeiture. But H.R. 1658 goes beyond that. It mistakenly bars the government from seizing criminal proceeds if the heirs of a criminal have acquired the property through inheritance.

Eric Holder, Jr.

Under the House bill, if a criminal dies, his fortune passes directly to his heirs without fear of forfeiture, even if the money consists entirely of criminal proceeds. A major drug dealer or pornographer could amass a fortune over a lifetime of crime, and pass it on to his heirs without the government's being able to step in and confiscate the money. The same is true if even the criminal proceeds were taken by fraud from innocent victims, thereby granting the fraud artist's heirs priority over the victims of his crimes. The heirs of a drug lord killed in a shoot out with the police or with a rival drug gang should not be free to inherit his drug fortune.

Over the past decade, we have recovered over $70 million from the estate of the notorious drug lord Jose Gonzalo Rodriguez Gacha after he was killed by the Colombian police. Under H.R. 1658, Gacha's heirs would have been entitled to all his drug money.

Eric Holder, Jr.

H.R. 1658 also contains a provision that would require the government to return seized property to criminals pending trial in the forfeiture case in order to avoid a "hardship." We understand that there may be instances where an innocent person's property is seized from a wrongdoer and held pending trial -- undoubtedly to the inconvenience of the innocent claimant. But in thousands of cases every year, property -- like cars, airplanes, cash and other easily disposable items -- is seized from drug dealers, gamblers, pornographers and money launderers. It makes no sense to write into law a provision that allows such people to retain possession of the seized property pending trial. Giving a dufflebag-full of cash back to a drug courier, just because he claims some "hardship" will befall him, defies reason and guarantees the property will simply disappear regardless of what guidelines might be engrafted on the statute.

Seizure of a flashy car from a notorious drug dealer sends a strong message to the community that crime will not pay. If that same car is back on the street a week later because the owner claimed some hardship, sends the opposite message -- that law enforcement is a paper tiger, and criminals can flaunt the spoils of their trade without fear of consequences. The same is true if the car, boat, or plane was used as the instrumentality of crime.

The release-of-property provision will cause enormous problems for the Immigration and Naturalization Service, which seized 27,000 automobiles a year, mostly along the Southwest Border, as part of its enforcement program against the transportation and smuggling of illegal aliens. If the cars, trucks, vessels and other conveyances seized by the INS have to be returned to the smugglers to avoid a "hardship," there will be little left of the anti-smuggling program.

Yet, in any case in which INS refused to release the vehicle, H.R. 1658 would permit the claimant to apply immediately to federal court for an order forcing the agency to do so, and the court would have to rule on the request within 30 days. The courts along the Southwest Border are already overburdened with civil and criminal cases related to border interdiction. To add more cases, each of which would have to be resolved within 30 days, to the dockets of those courts could potentially overwhelm the judiciary and threaten to bring justice to a standstill.

Any legislation that contains a provision that requires the government to give a seized airplane back to a drug dealer, or seized photocopy equipment back to a counterfeiter -- supposedly to avoid a "hardship" pending trial -- crosses the line from a measure designed to ensure fairness to become simply a windfall for criminals.

The vast majority of forfeiture cases are uncontested. These are cases in which the government seizes property and sends notice of the forfeiture to the property owner, but no one files a claim. Such administrative forfeitures account for an overwhelming majority of all DEA and FBI forfeitures.

Eric Holder, Jr.

Pursuant to current Justice Department internal guidelines, the seizing agency must send notice of the forfeiture action to potential claimants within 60 days of the seizure, unless the time limit is waived for good cause by a supervising official. Also under current law, if the government fails to make a reasonable effort to give notice of the forfeiture to potential claimants, and a person who did not receive notice later claims an interest in the property, a federal judge may order that the forfeiture action be started over again. United States v. Woodall, 12 F.3d 791, 793 (8th Cir. 1993). Such claims are almost invariably filed by federal prisoners who assert that they did not receive the forfeiture notice because the seizing agency sent it to the wrong place of incarceration as the prisoner was moved throughout the corrections system. See e.g. United States v. Clark, 84 F.3d 378 (10th Cir. 1996); United States v. Franklin, 897 F. Supp. 1301, 1303 (D. Or. 1995); Hong v. United States, 920 F. Supp. 311 (E.D.N.Y. 1996); Concepcion v. United States, 938 F. Supp. 134 (E.D.N.Y. 1996); Scott v. United States, 1996 WL 748428 (D.D.C. 1996).

H.R. 1658 would change this process in two significant ways. First, it would codify the 60-day guideline and require the seizing agency to petition a court for a waiver instead of getting it from a supervising official within the Department or agency -- another process certain to burden the judiciary unnecessarily, given the 45,000 seizures per year made by Justice Department agencies. Second, it would change the remedy for the failure to provide notice by allowing the claimant simply to "void the forfeiture," and bar the government ever from re-initiating the forfeiture action.

Again, this issue is one that arises almost always in the context of a federal prisoner who did not receive notice through the prison system. It makes no sense to give prisoners a windfall by allowing them to "void a forfeiture" anytime the Bureau of Prisons is unable to deliver notice of administrative forfeiture of property to the current prison address. If H.R. 1658 were enacted, instead of having judges order that forfeiture proceedings start again by returning to the status quo ante in such cases, prisoners serving long terms of incarceration for drug dealing, money laundering and like crimes would receive reimbursement checks for seized proceeds.

I now turn to the two most objectionable provisions of H.R. 1658 -- those dealing with the appointment of counsel and with the standard of proof: The bill creates incentives for abuse by allowing anyone interested in contesting the forfeiture to file a free claim and to request a free lawyer. Suppose three people are stopped in a car carrying $50,000 in drug money wrapped in rubber bands and hidden under the seat. And suppose they say they got the money from a guy in New York and are delivering it to a friend in Florida. Who gets the free lawyer? The driver? The passengers? The guy in New York? The girlfriend in Florida? Under H.R. 1658, they all would be entitled. The potential for abuse in the context of 45,000 cases a year is staggering.

Eric Holder, Jr.

The principle that no person should be denied the means to seek redress in the courts against unreasonable government action is recognized in the Equal Access to Justice Act ("EAJA"). That statute provides that any person who prevails against the government in a case in which the government action was not "substantially justified" is entitled to recover attorney's fees. The availability of EAJA fees provides the needed protection and there is no need to authorize the court to appoint counsel in civil forfeiture cases. Indeed, with tens of thousands of forfeiture seizures taking place every year, the burden on the courts just to hear the motions for appointment of counsel is likely to be enormous, and to be enormously expensive.

Eric Holder, Jr.

Most troubling, H.R. 1658 would elevate the burden of proof standard to clear and convincing evidence -- a standard virtually unheard of in civil cases, even when the case is based on a criminal violation. If the government chooses to seek civil sanctions separately, the standard is preponderance of the evidence. (Sanctions for knowingly overbilling government programs are generally sought under the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. Sec. 3729. The same is true when banks are accused of money laundering, or bankers are accused of bank fraud. See 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1956(b) (civil money laundering enforcement); 12 U.S.C. Sec. 1833a (bank fraud).) There is no sound or reasoned basis for imposing the higher standard when we seek to take printing presses from counterfeiters, or profits from drug peddlers.

It is important to understand that there are essentially three issues in a civil forfeiture case. 1. Forfeitability: was a crime committed by someone, and was this property derived from, involved in, or used to commit that crime?

3. Proportionality: even if the owner was not innocent, would the forfeiture of this property be "grossly disproportional to the gravity of the offense," and thus be unconstitutional under the Excessive Fines Clause of the Eighth Amendment? The standard of proof in H.R. 6658 applies only to the first issue: the showing that the property was derived from, or used to commit, a crime. In cases involving a field used for growing marijuana or a crack house where drugs are sold to kids on their way to school, the "nexus" of the property to the crime can be confidently demonstrated in most cases. The common questions in those cases concern applications of the innocent owner defense and the proportionality of the forfeiture under the Eighth Amendment. Raising the standard of proof is not likely to affect the government's ability to prevail in those civil forfeiture cases.

Elevation of the standard of proof to "clear and convincing evidence" would have a devastating effect on the government's ability to establish the forfeitability of the property in complex money laundering and drug cases. In these offenses the criminal and his money launderers work long and hard to hide the connection between the crime and its proceeds. We are concerned that too high a burden of proof will result in inappropriate losses of cases by the government, leading to a windfall for undeserving criminals.

Eric Holder, Jr.

Managing the cash proceeds is one of the drug dealer's greatest problems. If it is "street money," the drug proceeds weigh 3\1/2\ times the equivalent amount of cocaine. But the drug dealer is not a supermarket owner or amusement park operator who can simply deposit his cash proceeds in a bank. To avoid creating a paper trail, he has to move the money via couriers through airports, down highways, and in containers, in his effort to get it back to South America. Or he has to run it through otherwise legitimate businesses, off-shore banks and shell corporations, money remitters, and accounts held by nominees, and ultimately sell it on the Colombian Black Market Peso Exchange, all to conceal or disguise the connection between the criminal proceeds and the underlying crime. That's the very definition of money laundering. See 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1956(a)(1)(B)(i). For a sophisticated money launderer -- whether he keeps the money as cash, moves it via couriers, smuggles it out of the country, or sells it on the black market -- the trail between the crime and the money is very murky indeed.

Statutes requiring the government to meet a "clear and convincing" standard are extremely rare. See e.g. 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3524(e)(1) (stripping non-custodial parent of visitation rights with child when custodial parent is relocated as a protected witness). In civil cases, such as those filed under the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. Sec. 3729, and the bank fraud statutes, 12 U.S.C. Sec. 1833a, to give just two examples, the "preponderance" standard is routinely applied. Our view is that preponderance of the evidence is an appropriate standard.

For example, it is right to put the burden of proof on the government in civil forfeiture cases, but it is wrong to omit provisions that allow the government to gather the evidence needed to meet its evidentiary burden. Congress should enact provisions allowing attorneys for the government to issue subpoenas for evidence in civil forfeiture cases in the same way that they are issued in federal health care cases, anti-trust cases, bank fraud cases and civil RICO cases. Similarly, Congress should permit the government's civil attorneys to have access to the grand jury material already in the possession of its criminal prosecutors.

Also, in the course of revising the civil forfeiture laws, we should address the problem that arises when claims are filed by fugitives. Before 1996, the federal courts employed a rule, known as the fugitive disentitlement doctrine, that barred a fugitive from justice from attempting to hide behind his fugitive status while contesting a civil forfeiture action against his property. See United States v. Eng, 951 F.2d 461, 464 (2d Cir. 1991) ("a person who is a fugitive from justice may not use the resources of the civil legal system while disregarding its lawful orders in a related criminal action").

But in 1996, the Supreme Court held in Degen v. United States, 116 S. Ct. 1777 (1996), that as a judge-made rule, the sanction of absolute disentitlement goes too far. Instead, it is left to Congress to enact a statute that, as the Court described it, avoids "the spectacle of a criminal defendant reposing in Switzerland, beyond the reach of our criminal courts, while at the same time mailing papers to the court in a related civil action and expecting them to be honored." Degen, 116 S. Ct. at 1778. Codification of the fugitive disentitlement doctrine is an essential part of any civil forfeiture reform.

A serious need is legislation which enhances the criminal forfeiture laws. The recent shift to criminal forfeiture in the federal courts has revealed numerous deficiencies in the criminal laws that have hampered the government's ability to make full use of those statutes.

In particular, the law should allow the government to pursue criminal forfeiture any time a statute authorizes civil forfeiture, and it should allow the government to restrain property subject to forfeiture pre-trial, so that the property does not disappear or dissipate while the criminal case is pending. Title V of the Administration's proposal contains these and a comprehensive set of other proposals that would make the criminal forfeiture statutes the equal of their civil counterparts as effective crime-fighting tools.

Finally, once the needed reforms of the civil forfeiture laws are made, I urge Congress to expand forfeiture into new areas where it can be used to combat sophisticated, serious domestic and international criminal activity. From telemarketing to terrorism to counterfeiting to violations of the food and drug laws, the remedy of asset forfeiture should be applied. Title II of our proposal contains numerous provisions designed to achieve this goal.

As I said at the outset, we firmly believe that the time has come to reform the forfeiture laws. We have said this repeatedly since 1993, when forfeiture reform legislation was first introduced. We have said that Congress should enact legislation to ensure that "the forfeiture laws of the U.S. will be tough but fair -- tough but fair -- which is exactly what the American people have a right to expect." I still very much believe that. Working together, we can craft a balanced set of forfeiture laws that combine fairness with effective law enforcement. We look forward to working with the Subcommittee to do exactly that. ______

Drug dealers in Smyrna, Tennessee, a bedroom community ten miles south of Nashville, used a well-known crack house to menace the town's residents for more than ten years. The crack house was located next to a church near the town square, and was the scene of 40 arrests, including repeated arrests of the children and grandchildren of the owner/resident, Joseph Frank Drennon. When the arrests failed to put a stop to extensive drug dealing from the property, federal prosecutors used the asset forfeiture laws to shut it down.

Seven members of a local suburban drug ring and their two Florida drug suppliers were indicted for conspiracy to distribute and to possess with intent to distribute cocaine. Conservative estimates indicated that during the conspiracy as much as 160 kilos of cocaine were brought to and distributed in Minnesota, and the conspiracy grossed as much as $6 million per year. Six members of the conspiracy were convicted and were ordered to forfeit currency, bank accounts and real property, which has netted approximately $326,000 to date. One member of the conspiracy remains a fugitive, and civil forfeiture proceedings were used to forfeit his cash and real property.

FBI investigation of a bogus telephone charity scam led to the civil forfeiture of $61,039.40 in Dallas, Texas. Telephone callers solicited money for an alleged charity to grant the last requests of dying children. In fact, donations were going to the scam organizer's bank accounts. Considering how donors had meant their money to be spent, the U.S. Attorney's Office and the FBI thought it was appropriate to divide the forfeited money between the Make a Wish Foundation and A Wish For Wings. Both organizations work to grant the requests of very ill children.

An unlicensed radio station near Sacramento Executive Airport interfered with safe air traffic control on four different frequencies, interrupting important radio transmissions. Answering complaints from pilots and air traffic controllers, the FCC ordered the radio station operator to stop transmissions. When the operator of the unlicensed operation refused to stay off the air, federal court action authorized the FCC and U.S. Marshals Service agents to seize the station's equipment under the civil forfeiture laws, ending a threat to the safety of planes and passengers in the area.

Eric Holder, Jr.

A used car dealership known as "Import City" in Charlotte, North Carolina was selling vehicles to known drug dealers. Import City's owner, Majid Ramazanian, was indicted on charges of money laundering and currency reporting violations, to which he later pled guilty. In a parallel civil forfeiture case, 52 of the dealership's cars were forfeited. The case closed down the money laundering operation at Import City and recovered, net of expenses, well in excess of $200,000.

Eric Holder, Jr.

When a federal fugitive was arrested at a Jacksonville, Florida residence, federal officials found cash, narcotics scales, weapons and narcotics paraphernalia, a police scanner and a substantial quantity of heroin. The owner of the residence and half-brother of the fugitive claimed he was unaware that his brother was conducting these activities from the residence, although he admitted that he permitted the fugitive to reside there. When DEA determined that the heroin distribution activities continued from the residence after the arrest of the fugitive, the United States filed a civil forfeiture action against the residence and the cash which led to the uncontested forfeiture of both. The civil forfeiture in this case benefited the Jacksonville community in that it took out a heroin distribution center which was located with 700 feet of a school.

Convicted for growing and distributing large amounts of marijuana, the owners of a house in Amador County, California forfeited their indoor growing site. Through the Weed and Seed Program, this structure, formerly used to grow marijuana, was transferred to Operation Care, Inc. The nonprofit organization operates the house as a shelter for women and children who are victims of domestic violence. The facility is the first of its kind in Amador County.

A fraud ring headed by James Blair Down, who operated from Canada and Barbados, fraudulently marketed foreign lottery products to elderly U.S. residents through direct mailings and telemarketing. Many of the victims lost their life savings by responding to the high pressure telemarketing and deceptively marketed lottery promotions. More than 900 potential victims, some of whom lost tens of thousands of dollars, were identified. Federal prosecutors in Seattle, Washington used the civil forfeiture laws to seize approximately $12.4 million that Down had hidden in U.S. investment accounts held in the names of Cayman Island corporations. Civil forfeiture statutes were the only means available for immobilizing these assets to preserve their availability for restitution to victims, because a criminal indictment could not be filed until evidence located in foreign countries was obtained through painfully difficult and time consuming requests to foreign governments (Canada, Barbados, Switzerland, Cayman Islands, and Jersey). Down was subsequently indicted and pled guilty. As a result of the combined use of the criminal sentencing and civil forfeiture procedures, the majority of the most severely injured elderly victims will receive 100 percent restitution for their net losses.

A state employee in the Los Angeles area whose job it was to fund feeding centers via the USDA child and adult food program stole over $3 million in federal funds from the program. The employee invested the criminal proceeds in the purchase of 5 pieces of real estate in the Los Angeles/Orange County area. When the state employee was prosecuted, these properties were seized by the U.S. Attorney's Office. Eighty per cent of the sale proceeds went back to the USDA program to feed the people for whom the money had been intended.

Forfeiture was used to regain $24,000 in substitute assets after a union president was found guilty of embezzling his union and pension plan. He spent the money he stole, making it impossible to forfeit and return to the union. However, he had other accounts which were subject to the substitute asset provision. Even though the president had spent the original funds he stole, the substitute asset provision of the forfeiture law made it possible for union members and pensioners to get some of their money back.

Florence Estes, a 94-year old widow in Loudonville, New York, was stripped of her home and her life savings by Carol Mickens, her home health care aide. Mickens looted Florence's bank accounts and sold her home out from under her while she was living at a nursing home by having an imposter impersonate Florence at the closing. Mickens moved proceeds from the sale of the house into bank accounts in Mickens' name and booked 4 suites on a New Years Eve cruise to the Panama Canal, sending a check for $25,000 drawn on Florence's account with a forged signature. Using the forfeiture laws, federal agents seized Mickens' bank accounts as well as a GMC Yukon, which Mickens bought with $32,000 of Florence's money, and tens of thousands of dollars worth of clothing. Mickens is awaiting trial.

A "mule" was instructed to contact one "Benjamin" by pager when he arrived with a 300 pound load of marijuana at a predetermined location in Burnsville, MN. Officers paged Benjamin and, while waiting, executed a search warrant at Benjamin's residence. Officers recovered bags of marijuana and seized a 1994 Lexus ES300, a 1985 BMW 3251 containing $147,700.00 in cash, $944.00 cash, $54,000 cash from a Safe Deposit Box, and several bank accounts. The government filed a civil action against the property. Before answering the government's Complaint, Benjamin was arrested in Oklahoma on a bus with a cache full of marijuana. His counsel declined to file a Claim and Answer, and the government obtained a default judgment for the seized assets.

Eric Holder, Jr.

Homeowners in danger of losing their property to foreclosure because of financial problems were "helped" by loan shark William McCorkle who gave them enormous loans at impossibly high interest rates with the promise the homeowners would eventually own their homes free and clear. In one case, McCorkle preyed upon the fears of a woman who had lived in her house for 20 years, was the single mother of 10 children, and had difficulty making some mortgage payments. McCorkle loaned her five times the amount of money she needed to pay off the loan, placed her property in his name, and when she had finally fully paid off his loan, refused to return the property to her. Through the forfeiture of this and other properties, the U.S. Attorney's Office learned of the plight of the homeowners involved and was able to help them regain legal title to their property and to defeat sham, unconscionable mortgages.

In March 1998, Marvin D. Thomas, a Cincinnati, Ohio, businessman pled guilty to felony mail fraud and false claims violations arising out of a health care fraud scheme. Thomas also pled guilty as President of USA Medical Systems, Inc. to the company's making false claims to Medicare. Thomas and USA Medical admitted to defrauding Medicare of at least $2,000,000 over three years by supplying over 300,000 disposable diapers to elderly patients and misrepresenting to Medicare that they were durable medical equipment. As part of the guilty plea, Thomas and USA Medical agreed to forfeit property worth almost $2,000,000, including: Thomas' residence valued at $500,000; his vacation home valued at $191,000; $125,000 from the sale of a lot; funds in accounts valued at $968,000; and four vehicles worth $133,000. The government filed a parallel civil forfeiture action to arrange a settlement with Thomas' wife regarding her asserted interest in some of the forfeited property.

Bronx attorney Pat V. Stiso was sentenced to 87 months in prison following his guilty plea to charges of conspiracy to distribute heroin, obstruction of justice, and conspiracy to obstruct justice in his representation of two major heroin trafficking organizations. Stiso was also ordered to forfeit $600,000 as proceeds of illegal narcotics activity, and was required to cease practicing law. Stiso admitted receiving large sums of money which he knew were illegal drug sale proceeds from a Bronx narcotics trafficking enterprise known as the Maisonet Heroin Organization. Stiso further admitted holding this money to preserve and conceal the organization's profits. Stiso received the money after law enforcement officers seized more than $800,000 from the organization's operative in Florida.

Mohammad Salim Pirani and Irfan Salim Pirani (father and son) were indicted for food stamp fraud and money laundering arising out of their operation of several convenience stores in the vicinity of Asheville, North Carolina. In the course of operating the stores, the Piranis frequently purchased food stamps from customers for less than their face value. In plea agreements, they admitted to receiving not less than $750,000 from their crimes and to transferring not less than $484,000 (mostly out of the country) so that it could no longer be recovered or forfeited by the government. Accordingly, the Piranis were required forfeiture of substitute property consisting of currency in the amount of $32,263; 4,450 Pakistani rupees; five bank accounts totaling more than $30,000; one promissory note for $84,000; and real property worth more than $200,000.

Eric Holder, Jr.

The United States filed a civil forfeiture proceeding against 40 acres of real estate in West Fork, Arkansas used by the owner for an indoor marijuana manufacturing operation. A Michigan woman held the mortgage on the property and relied on the monthly payments for her income. When the forfeiture action was filed, the drug dealer stopped making the payments. But once the Decree of Forfeiture was entered, the property was sold and the escrow contract was paid off in full. The claimant was pleased to be paid the full amount in a lump sum rather than the monthly payments she had been receiving.

George Fredderick Garzarek and approximately ten other individuals were prosecuted in Wheeling, West Virginia, for their involvement in an international securities fraud scheme. Authorities were able to document approximately 15,000 victims in the United States, Canada, and several other countries, who invested over $8 million with Garzarek and his associates. The investment was premised on a "Ponzi-type" scheme whereby investors were told that their monies were needed to fund legal and investigative efforts to release a billion dollar fortune being held by European banks following the death of a British businessman. Garzarek spent a large portion of the monies he received acquiring expensive vehicles, real property, jewelry and taking luxurious vacations throughout the world. He pled guilty to a money laundering conspiracy and securities fraud and was ordered to pay restitution. Garzarek had basically squandered proceeds of his fraud but due to the forfeiture allegation in the indictment, authorities were able to recover, sell and/or liquidate numerous vehicles, parcels of real estate, and businesses linked to the fraudulent proceeds. Approximately $2.3 million will be disbursed to victims who filed claims with the government.

Eric Holder, Jr.

On June 16, 1997, the East St. Louis, Illinois Park District cut the ribbon on a new water park, thus permitting hundreds of youths to frolic in colorful sprays, jets, showers, and fountains. The water park replaced a decaying swimming pool which had been closed for the previous ten years due to lack of funds for maintenance and repairs. The new water park provides kids with something to do instead of roaming the streets and is far more appropriate than a pool for the area's children, as 85 percent of them cannot swim. The $350,000 cost of the water park was paid for with federally forfeited money seized from drug dealers.

Eric Holder, Jr.

In Washington Park, Illinois, a facility that was once a topless bar owned by convicted racketeer Thomas Venezia, is now known as the "Lansdowne/Washington Park Community and Youth Center." The Center houses the Washington Park Library, Americorp, and a police substation, and contains one of several "safe havens" in the greater East St. Louis area. A "safe haven" is a place where children can safely associate off of the streets and provides recreation, tutoring, computer training, conflict resolution, and other developmentally appropriate activities. The Center also serves as a base of operation for community groups and the location of neighborhood leaders training.

Eric Holder, Jr.

Federal prosecutors in Houston filed a civil forfeiture action against a $4.3 million mansion in Austin, Texas, held in the name of a British Virgin Islands entity controlled by Randall L. Garrett and a $1.1 million bank account controlled by Bryan L. Sims. Garrett and Sims collected more than $25 million in 15 months by touting "prime bank" financial instruments that supposedly returned an annual profit of 240 percent. They failed to invest the funds as promised and used the funds to repay earlier investors and for personal gain. Garrett and Sims were later indicted, and the property originally restrained in the civil case was forfeited. After payment of lienholders and other non-culpable claimants, the net proceeds of sale of forfeited property will provide a pool of approximately $4.0 million from which to compensate the more than 300 victims of the fraudulent scheme. criminal forfeiture used to recover restitution for victim of shooting

Eric Holder, Jr.

Robert George Jefferson and four other members of the 6-0-Tre Crips gang in Minneapolis were convicted in August 1998 for their involvement in large-scale drug dealing and six murders, including a 1994 arson in St. Paul that killed five children of the Coppage family. Jefferson was also convicted of conspiracy to murder an individual who owed him money for drugs. When Jefferson demanded the money from the individual, who did not comply, a gun battle ensued during which an innocent bystander, Robert Otto, was shot in the head resulting in life-threatening and traumatic brain injuries. Jefferson was sentenced to life in prison and ordered to pay over $6,600 in restitution to Otto. Of course, the money was not forthcoming. However, using the criminal forfeiture process, the government forfeited vehicles belonging to Jefferson and obtained a court order to use the proceeds from the sale of those vehicles to pay the ordered restitution.

Treasury law enforcement works closely with other Federal as a well as State and local enforcement to address a diverse range of responsibilities. Asset forfeiture is a very powerful tool that helps us accomplish our mission. I am glad to join Deputy Attorney General Holder, Assistant Commissioner Tischler, and DEA Chief of Operations Fiano in support of this valuable law enforcement tool. I assure you that we are working to ensure that it is being used appropriately to attack organized criminal activity.

Asset forfeiture has played a key role in some of our most prominent recent cases. From narcotics trafficking and money laundering to terrorism and excise tax avoidance, it has proven its value time and time again. Not only does it disrupt the structures that support criminal enterprises, but it uses those instrumentalities and profits from crimes in ways that are consistent with the purpose of forfeiture laws in combatting crime.

We recognize, however, that improvements can be made and we support the reforms in the administration's bill regarding civil asset forfeiture, and actually asset forfeiture as a whole. And the Deputy Attorney General has addressed those issues quite eloquently. We support, again, reform, and we have for some time. Many of the proposed reforms are set forth in my long statement and have already been reviewed in this hearing today. I will highlight just a few.

The administration bill will raise the standard of proof, put the burden of proof on the government, to the level of preponderance of the evidence and shift the burden of proof to the government. The bill will provide for uniform definition of innocent ownership, and will permit the use of forfeited property to pay for victim restitution, not just innocent owner restitution. Such reforms can be made while still maintaining the effectiveness of civil asset forfeiture as a valuable law enforcement tool. It is a balanced approach that we propose that reflects America's sense of fair play.

On the other hand, we believe that H.R. 1658, the alternative to the administration's bill, will have a significant negative impact on our current ability to address the threats posed by criminal organizations. We believe that H.R. 1658 will constrain our ability to seize and forfeit by raising the standard of proof to clear and convincing evidence, even higher than in the criminal context. Providing for counsel at a cost to the government would be an additional burden. We believe that it would enhance the chances for frivolous litigation.

It would impose unrealistic deadlines that will cripple administrative forfeitures and may well result in the return of seized guns to the streets. Finally, we believe that the bill would increase the risk of property being removed from our jurisdiction by allowing criminal organizations to retain it during forfeiture proceedings. In short, H.R. 1658 will cause us to forgo numerous appropriate forfeitures that we now pursue and will undercut our ability to exploit this very valuable tool.

Day-in and day-out, Treasury law enforcement pursues a wide variety of cases in its many areas of responsibility -- including, but not limited to, trade and financial fraud, narcotics smuggling, illegal firearms trafficking, terrorism, counterfeiting and money laundering. In order to effectively address this diverse range of responsibilities, we work closely with other federal agencies and with state and local law enforcement officials.

The Treasury Forfeiture Fund was established by Congress in 1992 to direct a professional application of the forfeiture sanction, and to fairly and systematically strip criminal organizations of both the proceeds and instrumentalities that facilitate their illegal enterprises. Thus far, though the program has enjoyed many successes, the need for prudent reform is acknowledged and solicited and we are here today to discuss our proposal for future direction.

Our management of the program and the use of its funds is very important. We have taken measures in a number of areas to ensure that we fulfill our end of this responsibility. Since the establishment of the Treasury Forfeiture Fund in 1992, we have listened attentively to criticisms. We have heeded valid complaints and have closely managed our program, such as by conducting comprehensive training for all Treasury forfeiture personnel -- from our special agents and their supervisors to our seized property managers. We have underscored the importance of considered and responsible seizures and the need for the pre-seizure planning that makes these possible. We have emphasized quality in the management of seized property so that value, whether property is forfeited or returned, is never carelessly diminished. And, recognizing that justice delayed is often justice denied we have directed Treasury law enforcement to stay on top of their forfeiture caseloads, especially with regard to the adjudication of administrative forfeitures.

We will continue to ensure that Treasury's program always affords due process -- that it notifies all affected parties of the seizure and intent to forfeit, that it apprises them of their right to contest the forfeiture in court, that it accommodates the indigent and that it offers opportunities to achieve just resolutions short of forfeiture. In short, we are striving not for advantage but for fairness.

We recognize that asset forfeiture is a powerful tool in our arsenal and helps us accomplish our mission. As such, it must be carefully and consistently employed and monitored to protect citizens from abuse and unwarranted burden. As we confront large- scale criminal organizations, we are increasingly struck by the usefulness of asset forfeiture in dismantling their operations.

By allowing us to target the proceeds and instrumentalities of crime, asset forfeiture strikes at the very core of criminal organizations. It enables us to attack their criminal enterprises in ways that the simple incarceration of the criminals could never accomplish. It cuts to the heart of and motivation behind most criminal activity, focusing on criminal profits. It says forcefully to all honest Americans that we will not stand idly by and allow criminals to keep those rewards that fuel their illicit activities. Asset forfeiture is the tool that permits law enforcement to remove such instrumentalities and profits of crime, to ensure that "crime does not pay."

Asset forfeiture's purpose is to attack organized criminal activity and deprive criminals of their illegal profits. As an essential part of our overall law enforcement strategy, asset forfeiture has recently played a key role in a number of prominent cases involving drug trafficking, terrorism and avoiding cigarette excise taxes. In Operation Casablanca, one of the most complex money laundering investigations ever conducted by United States law enforcement, Customs agents broke an integral link between narcotics traffickers and their money launderers. Forfeiting cash and monetary instruments, they were able to disrupt an organization that converted drug receipts into operating revenues for the cartels. This year, two Mexican banks pled guilty to money laundering violations and forfeited a total of over $13 million, while a third bank settled its charges and forfeited another $12 million. A husband and wife team, who operated a wholesale supply business in Redding, California, was also an important link in a chain that funneled precursor materials to methamphetamine manufacturers in Mexico. IRS agents found that the couple had been laundering the profits of this illegal trade and seized investment accounts, vehicles and a residence, putting out of business one source in a deadly and growing drug trade. A naturalized U.S. citizen arrested in Israel confessed that he had served as a financial conduit for the Hamas terrorist organization. A year ago, the Chicago Joint Terrorist Task Force seized his residence, a vehicle, bank accounts, safe deposit boxes, and other property after an investigation revealed that his funds were derived from an international money laundering operation related to Hamas activities. In this instance, the forfeiture sanction was a key tool in negating this financial channel between a terrorist cell operating within our borders and the parent organization. The owners of a ranch within the boundaries of the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana would take deliveries of huge quantities of cigarettes from a licensed wholesaler. They would then load them into transports designed to look like mobile campers and deliver them to smoke shop owners, circumventing the Washington State cigarette allocation program as well as the thirty-four percent per pack tax. These ranchers were moving $13 million worth of cigarettes per year until ATF and the tribal police helped bring about the arrests, convictions and forfeitures of profits that ended the illegal operation. Asset forfeiture places a high levy on criminal activity, taking apart the structures that support such scourges as terrorism and the international narcotics trade. But its benefits don't stop there. With the authorities of the asset forfeiture funds, we have been able to reimburse certain victims of crime, provide valuable real properties that help resurrect crime plagued neighborhoods, make donations of goods to charities and, very significantly, bolster law enforcement capacity and cooperation throughout the United States. In 1996, following a lengthy investigation by the Criminal Investigation Division of the IRS, an individual pled guilty to conspiracy to defraud Medicare and agreed to forfeit $32 million that had been seized from his business, which had falsely claimed reimbursements from a Medicare insurance carrier. That money will be reimbursed to the federal Medicare trust fund and state Medicare insurers victimized by his criminal scheme. In Camden, New Jersey, a drug trafficker colluded with a long time family friend and realtor to invest his criminal proceeds in real estate and expensive cars. When IRS criminal investigators and the Camden Police finally helped bring him to justice, four forfeited properties were transferred by the Treasury Department to the City of Camden -- two to be used as satellite police stations and two more to community service providers under the Weed and Seed program. Simply put, we take the property that comes into our asset forfeiture funds and put it to good use. We take the proceeds of crime and re-invest them in law enforcement. First, we pay the often substantial direct expenses of seizure and forfeiture, allowing the tax payers to avoid this burden. Second, we invest in the seizure and forfeiture programs of our law enforcement bureaus, allowing them to keep pace with the increasingly sophisticated criminal challenges that they must confront. Finally, other amounts available from the asset forfeiture fund are used to support Treasury and other federal law enforcement efforts including victim restitution and community programs. We do all this fairly, ever mindful of the due process rights of citizens.

We want to assure the Committee that when we do forfeit assets, we use those assets in responsible ways to further the purpose of the asset forfeiture law and combat crime. The benefits that flow from the Treasury Forfeiture Fund play out every day in many ways, including: When tragedy struck earlier this year in high school shootings in Littleton, Colorado, and Conyers, Georgia, explosive detection canine teams from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) were deployed and assisted in sweeping the schools for destructive devices, firearms and evidence. Asset Forfeiture Fund resources support the ATF canine program. The Youth Crime Gun Interdiction Initiative is an ATF program aimed at removing the illegal sources of guns used by American youths. The program is now in 27 vulnerable U.S. communities, in part, thanks to monies from the Forfeiture Fund. The southwest border of the United States has been a favored point for the smuggling of currency, drugs and other illegal contraband. The Treasury Forfeiture Fund has helped the Customs Service cover the costs of personnel moves under Operation Hardline to re-direct resources to where they are most acutely needed. When a gun is used in a crime, a positive firearms trace is often the crucial piece of evidence needed to make an arrest. ATF's National Tracing Center, the only operation of its kind in the world, traces firearms recovered in crimes for federal, state, local and international law enforcement. Again, the Treasury Forfeiture Fund is a key resource contributing to the Center's success. Forfeiture monies have also enabled us to fund and train computer investigative specialists in all the Treasury law enforcement bureaus. This departmentwide initiative, known as CIS 2000, educates agents in how to match and counter the latest information technologies employed by criminals committing financial crimes through sophisticated uses of today's advanced computers. Asset forfeiture and the federal forfeiture funds are also major supporters of the unprecedented levels of cooperation that exist today among federal, state and local law enforcement. The forfeiture funds allow us to share equitably among all agencies that have contributed to investigations leading to forfeiture. In fiscal year 1998, the Treasury Fund alone shared $72 million in currency and $3 million in property with state and local law enforcement agencies. These are amounts that are available to supplement the resources of our state and local law enforcement colleagues. In other years, forfeiture funds have: built a new forensic laboratory for the New York State Police; aided California's Orange County police officers to educate schoolchildren to better resist drugs and gangs; and, permitted Florida's Broward County to hire more police officers by matching and extending its share of grants under the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program. When we view the future of asset forfeiture, we see it continuing to be a valuable tool to do what prisons alone cannot do: give the victimized a chance at restitution; build communities torn apart by drugs and violence; and, strengthen law enforcement's ability to protect and serve.

We recognize, however, that the citizens of the United States will be comfortable with federal forfeiture authorities only as long as they have faith in the integrity of the program. That faith is best secured by Congress' enactment of necessary statutory changes to update asset forfeiture laws as well as by our implementation and continual refinements of policies and guidance that reflect America's sense of fair play.

From our perspective, we also recognize that program improvements can be made which is why we support the Administration's bill regarding civil asset forfeiture. The Administration's Bill would: raise the standard of proof to preponderance of evidence and shifts the burden of proof to the government; protect innocent owners and bona fide purchasers; require seizure warrant for all seizures of forfeitable property unless the 4th Amendment exception applies; permit Attorney General to use forfeited property to pay restitution to victims; make government liable for pre-judgement interest; and, establish a process for return of property pending the outcome of the forfeiture case. The House Bill, however, would have a significantly negative impact on our current ability to use asset forfeiture against organized criminal activity. Chiefly, it would: constrain our ability to seize and forfeit criminal proceeds when the owner is overseas or otherwise beyond the jurisdiction of the United States; cause us to forego numerous forfeitures we currently pursue in order to protect our witnesses and investigations because it would eliminate hearsay evidence in meeting the government's initial burden; greatly limit the use of administrative forfeitures, now about 70 percent of all our forfeitures, through a combination of eliminating cost bonds and providing counsel in civil actions. require the return to the streets of many of the guns we seize everyday because of unrealistically short time frames for initiating the forfeiture proceeding and because they cannot be criminally forfeited; and, inordinately increase the risk that property may be removed from the jurisdiction of the United States by allowing criminal organizations to retain their assets during forfeiture proceedings upon a simple petition to the court. While refinements to the asset forfeiture process would be useful, they should not be allowed to undo asset forfeiture's longstanding record of accomplishment in serving the best interests of American citizens. This is especially true in the area of civil forfeiture, the most historic and tested element of our forfeiture program. If the use of civil forfeiture is curtailed, it will seriously undermine our effectiveness in investigating drug trafficking, money laundering, fraud and other financial crimes.

I hope that I have been able to convey to you the actual intent and application of this most valuable law enforcement tool. If change is to be made, it should be based on a factual analysis of need, not misconception based on anecdotal stories from the early days of the program. I thank you for allowing us to present our views on the asset forfeiture program. We appreciate the support of the Committee in this area and throughout federal law enforcement. I will be pleased to answer any questions you may have at this time. ______

Strom Thurmond

Dear Senator Thurmond: We write to advise you of our concerns about the provisions of H.R. 1658, the "Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act," which passed the House on June 24, 1999. This legislation as currently drafted will severely jeopardize the use of civil asset forfeiture by law enforcement to combat serious crimes, including organized crime, money laundering, and bank fraud. Asset forfeiture strikes at the very core of criminal activity, disrupting the flow of criminal profits and seizing the property used to commit crimes. It dismantles criminal organizations in a way that criminal convictions against individuals cannot. As such, it is an essential part of our overall law enforcement strategy.

We want to stress that we are committed to fair and just civil forfeiture procedures. We fully support asset forfeiture reform where appropriate and needed. Indeed, the Administration is currently proposing a bill that would enact broad reforms in both the civil and criminal asset forfeiture laws. Unfortunately, H.R. 1658 differs from the Administration's bill in a number of important respects. For instance, although the Administration's bill would raise the government's initial burden of proof in civil forfeitures to a "preponderance of the evidence," H.R. 1658 would raise the standard even further, to "clear and convincing evidence." Proof by a preponderance of the evidence is the standard that applies in virtually all civil litigation. We do not think it should be more difficult for the government in civil proceedings to forfeit child pornography equipment or the proceeds of illegal drug trafficking than it is to collect a delinquent student loan.

Additionally, in contrast to the Administration's bill, H.R. 1658 eliminates the 10 percent cost bond requirement, provides for the return of property to claimants pending judgment in certain circumstances, and requires the appointment of counsel for certain types of civil claimants. We are deeply concerned that these and other provisions will severely undermine the government's ability to forfeit criminal assets in appropriate cases. Indeed, the greatest benefits of the bill may redound to criminal organizations and groups, which frequently insulate the assets of their leaders through unknowing underlings who become the claimants in civil forfeiture cases.

The Department of the Treasury strongly supports enactment of meaningful and balanced civil forfeiture reform legislation -- legislation that ensures fairness while protecting the due process rights of all claimants. However, any legislation must also support law enforcement's ability to dismantle criminal organizations and compensate crime victims. H.R. 1658 does not embody this balanced approach to forfeiture reform. We look forward to working with you and other Members to craft a bill that does. Sincerely,

Mr. Chairman, members of the subcommittee, good afternoon. I am pleased to have this opportunity to testify on the vital importance of asset forfeiture to law enforcement. I believe this hearing will shed important light on one of the chief instruments we use to disrupt international crime, and we thank you for that.

The Customs Service has a proud tradition of employing forfeiture laws effectively and responsibly. Use of forfeiture by Customs dates back to the very founding of our agency over 200 years ago. The first Congress passed forfeiture statutes under the customs laws of 1789. At that time, the statutes were used primarily to confiscate pirate ships, as has been pointed out, preying upon legitimate commerce in U.S. waters.

Today, they are employed in the battle against all aspects of international crimes -- drug smugglers, terrorists, child pornographers, counterfeiters, and others who would compromise the security and well-being of our citizens. Indeed, asset forfeiture is one of the most powerful tools employed by all of the Federal Government, not just the U.S. Customs Service.

Not only does it enable us to seize what contraband comes into the country -- illegal drugs, child pornography, counterfeit goods -- but also what is going out-illicit cash and the weapons that promote the further expansion of criminal activity. Asset forfeiture enables us to take the profit out of crime and target those who would otherwise be out of our reach.

Delivering a blow to a drug kingpin living comfortably abroad beyond our grasp often entails hitting him where it really hurts, his bank accounts, his businesses, and all other means he might use to launder the proceeds of his trade. Crippling these individuals and their illicit networks involves not just the seizure of illegal goods, but also the resources that fuel criminal operations.

To ensure that our seizure operations are done correctly, with the maximum precision and efficiency, Customs created Asset Identification and Removal Groups, or AIRG's. These groups are comprised of special agents, auditors, accountants and contract data analysts, and are especially trained to target the assets of criminal organizations. Personnel assigned to these teams are trained in asset identification, removal, and forfeiture.

The Treasury Executive Office of Asset Forfeiture funds the training program that each group member must complete before conducting cases. AIRG members take part in our investigations right from the beginning and play an important role in all phases of our investigative activities, so much so that these groups are now located in each of our 20 SAIC offices around the country. They have been very successful. Any weakening of the asset forfeiture laws would have a negative effect on their work. Let me mention a few specific examples to highlight this point.

A suspect named Carlos Cardoen was indicted in Miami for supplying cluster bombs to Iraq. He was never caught and he remains a fugitive to this day. However, Customs was able to identify and seize over $10 million that he had generated through the sale of the bombs. Under H.R. 1658, passed recently by the House, the Customs Service might have had to return the $10 million to Cardoen until a court of law could decide the issue. Under the suspect's continued control, the money could very well have gone toward the procurement of even more weapons. Even if a court order against Cardoen were rendered, it is highly unlikely it would have resulted in the timely surrender of his assets.

Another case in point: Customs works closely with Canadian authorities in telemarketing fraud cases, many of which are ongoing. Our Seattle office recently arrested an individual by the name of James Down, who bilked more than 900 elderly victims out of millions of dollars in a telemarketing scam. Some of the victims lost their life savings, but with the help of civil seizure and asset forfeiture laws, we were able to freeze more than $12 million that Down had hidden in offshore accounts.

Although we pursued criminal charges against Down, much of the evidence needed was located in foreign countries, making the investigation difficult and extremely time-consuming. Thanks to civil asset seizure and forfeiture, we were at least able to ensure that his victims were compensated.

During Operation Casablanca, civil seizure and asset forfeiture laws were used to seize over $67 million from bank accounts used by the drug cartels. To date, more than $30 million has been forfeited to the government. Through negotiations with the banks and private individuals, about $10 million has been returned.

During Operation Casablanca, Customs seized money from Jose Alvarez Tostado, an indicted leader of the Juarez cartel. Tostado is now a fugitive and his money was forfeited. Under H.R. 1658, Tostado, who refuses to appear in court, could fight the forfeiture without ever having to leave his hiding place. The administration's bill that Mr. Holder and Mr. Johnson have spoken about would eliminate this special protection of fugitives.

These cases highlight the potential losses we could incur were H.R. 1658 to become law; in one instance restitution to elderly victims, in others the financial resources of known and indicted criminals. Moreover, the U.S. Government could be put in the ironic position of paying for the legal representation of terrorist organizations, drug cartels, organized crime syndicates, and dangerous fugitives.
