Mr. President, my colleagues and perhaps the people who are following this debate will remember that we passed a tough crime bill in the Senate. That crime bill had a provision that tried to deal with those who use a gun to commit a crime.

So what we offered in the Senate bill was a get-tough provision on people who use firearms to commit violent crimes. We agreed to 10 years in prison without parole for possessing a firearm during the commission of a violent crime or a drug felony, 20 years for discharging the firearm, life imprisonment for killing someone, and the death penalty in aggravated cases.

That provision was not only adopted in the Senate by an overwhelming vote, but it has been adopted every time that we have debated crime in the last 6 years.

People are outraged about drug pushers who are selling drugs to children and who are using children in drug trafficking. The American people want something done about it, and in the Senate we did something about it: 10 years in prison without parole for using a child in the commission of a drug felony or selling drugs to a child and life imprisonment without parole on a second offense.

Mr. President, that provision was adopted in the Senate overwhelmingly, and it has been adopted in the Senate on numerous occasions. But what happened when the crime bill passed through the Senate and went to the conference with the House bill is that that provision was dropped.

As I am sure many know, despite all the talk about getting tough on crime from the day that Bill Clinton became President until today, he and his Justice Department have fought to overturn mandatory minimum sentencing for drug felons. They have spent every day they have been in office trying to do that. They have sent directives to U.S. attorneys giving them leeway in terms of not prosecuting under our mandatory minimum sentencing provisions and they have worked to overturn minimum mandatory sentencing.

Mr. President, let me go back and make my point, and then I will yield the floor and go back to the Whitewater hearings. I am not leaving out of disrespect to our dear colleague, who is chairman of the Judiciary Committee. We know each other's views very well, and I have the highest respect for him, and I would guess if he and I could have written the final bill I would probably be here on the floor supporting it.

Phil Gramm
But after we adopted a get-tough bill with mandatory minimum sentencing for people who use guns in violent crimes and with mandatory minimum sentencing for people who sell drugs to minors, those provisions were stripped out of this so-called crime bill, which is now coming back to the Senate, which is now an anticrime bill in many ways.

But the worst provision of that bill goes back to the Clinton agenda that I was speaking about when I yielded to the distinguished Republican leader.

Phil Gramm
The Attorney General and the President have sought from day one to overturn mandatory minimum sentencing for drug felons. I have fought that effort, but in a bipartisan effort in the Senate to pass a crime bill I reached a compromise with them which was not a compromise that I was happy with but it was a compromise that I was willing to make to get a crime bill, something that I have tried to do for 6 years. Here was my compromise. Leave the law as it is, mandatory minimum sentencing for drug felons, but give the judge a little discretion under the following circumstances.

Now, under my provision, several hundred people a year would have been exempt from mandatory minimum sentencing out of more than 10,000 people who were charged. I think that ought to tell you something. But that was a compromise I was willing to make.

But what happened, Mr. President? What happened was, when they got to conference, where a small number of Democrats control the votes, my provision was stripped out and a provision was adopted which overturns mandatory minimum sentencing and which works retroactively so that as many as 10,000 drug felons who are currently in the Federal penitentiary could be released under a bill that is being called a crime bill.

How many people know that this great crime bill is overturning mandatory minimum sentencing and is letting people who are currently serving in the Federal penitentiary under a mandatory minimum sentence, many of whom have more than one conviction, out of prison on a retroactive provision that, if used to the maximum extent, could let 10,000 convicted drug felons back out on the streets of America; basically furlough them because we know many of these people are going to go out and do it again. I assert, Mr. President, that the American people do not know that provision is in this bill now.

What I have tried to do today is, I have taken three important provisions that were in our crime bill which have been stripped out and I am offering those provisions, along with Senator Dole's provisions, as amendments to this education bill because I believe one of the biggest problems in trying to educate our children is the presence of violence in our communities and in our schools.

So I hope my colleagues will adopt this amendment. We have voted on it before. We have adopted it by overwhelming numbers. Unfortunately, because the debate on crime is not in the media, not in those bright areas where the public can see, but in the dark areas where politics as usual still dominates, these provisions were dropped from the crime bill.

Mr. President, I would just say that I have worked for a long time for a crime bill. I worked very closely in the Senate with the distinguished Senator from Delaware. He and I do not agree on everything. But we agreed on what I thought was a good crime bill.

I want people to understand, I am not saying everything about this crime bill is bad. There are a lot of good provisions in the crime bill. But we have larded it up with another $5 billion of social spending on midnight basketball and other things that we defeated in last year's economic stimulus package, and that same old lard is back.

Second, these three provisions that are critically important to getting tough on crime were deleted. So I wanted to give our colleagues an opportunity again today, as I will now on every bill that comes through the Senate that is not an a appropriations bill, until we adjourn, I am going to give our colleagues an opportunity to vote on these provisions with some hope that if they are adopted again and if we go to conference on the bills, that at some point, reason and responsibility will prevail and we can bring these provisions back to life -- tough mandatory minimum sentencing for thugs who use guns in crime; mandatory minimum sentencing for people who sell drugs to our children or use our children in drug trafficking; and a provision that would overturn the provision in the crime bill which could retroactively go back and let 10,000 drug felons out of prisons.

I hope my colleague will forgive me for leaving. I am in the midst of a hearing. He understands I mean no disrespect. I have listened to my colleague on this subject and he has listened to me. And, quite frankly, we have convinced each other on enough things that I think if the two of us had written this bill, we would have a good crime bill and we would both be supporting it.

But one of the things that, last time we debated the crime bill and we went to conference a couple of years ago, there was a lot of talk about we just ramrodded this thing through, so on and so forth. This time now, in order to obviate that criticism, we made sure we picked the second biggest room in the House of Representatives, I am told, and C-SPAN televised all of it from beginning to middle to end, to the point that my dear mother -- I know the Senator from Texas is always talking about his mama's gun and how no one is going to take it away.

Well, no one is going to take my mama's television away. She stays up and watches her son Joey into the night. I caused my mother to lose a lot of sleep, going into the night on the crime bill.

I kid -- and I want to say it; I say it enough publicly, and it is said with affection -- I occasionally kid and call my distinguished friend from Texas, to distinguish him from Senator Graham from Florida, I refer to him as Barbed Wire Gramm. And he has never taken offense to that. I want him to know that the distinguished Senator and I have a little bit of disagreement on these bills, but not nearly as much as is portrayed.

Mr. President, I want to say a few words in support of the amendment offered by my distinguished colleague from Texas, Senator Gramm. Unbelievably, the recent crime conference rejected Republican proposals to establish mandatory Minimum penalties for vicious criminals who sell drugs to minors and who use a gun in the Commission of a crime.

Another proposal rejected by the conference was one that I offered to the crime bill last November and which passed the Senate by an overwhelming vote of 75 to 19 -- with a bipartisan group of 39 Republicans and 36 Democrats expressing support. This proposal amended the Federal rules of evidence to allow the introduction of evidence of prior offenses of rape and child molestation in prosecutions for these same offenses. We had a debate on the floor on that. It was adopted again in a bipartisan way.

Ask any prosecutor, and he or she will tell you how important similar-offense evidence can be. In a rape case, for example, disclosure of the fact that the defendant has previously committed other rapes is often crucial, as the jury attempts to assess the credibility of a defense claim that the victim consented and the defendant is being falsely accused.

Similar-offense evidence is also critical in child molestation cases. These cases often hinge on the testimony of the child-victims, whose credibility can be readily attacked in the absence of other corroborating evidence. In such cases, it is crucial that all relevant evidence that may shed some light on the credibility of the charge be admitted at trial.

Unfortunately, Mr. President, the Federal Rules of evidence reflect a general presumption against let me repeat -- against -- admitting evidence of uncharged offenses. This presumption has been widely reproduced in State rules of evidence, whose formulation has been strongly influenced by the Federal rules.

Take the 1988 case of Getz versus State. In Getz, the Supreme Court of Delaware overturned the defendant's conviction of raping his 11- year-old daughter because evidence that he had also molested her on other occasions was improperly admitted. The court went on to hold that the disputed evidence was impermissible evidence of "character" and could not be admitted under the State's evidentiary standards. The tragic result: the defendant walked.

Yes, the Federal rules of evidence have been around since 1975, but that does not mean they should not be changed when the need arises. For when someone is out there committing sex crime after sex crime, committing child molestation after child molestation, it is this Senator's view that this evidence should be admitted at trial without a protracted legal battle over what is admissible and what is not.

If you turn on television today, if you read the morning newspaper, or listen to the radio you have heard the sad story of 7-year-old Megan Kanka, who was recently strangled near her home in Mercer County, NJ. The police have arrested a twice-convicted sex offender. According to press reports, the person arrested for this vicious crime had been sentenced to 10 years in prison, but was released after serving just 6 years.

Should the killer's prior offenses be admitted at trial? You bet. Are these offenses relevant to the charge. Of course.

Mr. President, I am aware that even if my proposal became law, it would affect only Federal cases. State cases would still be governed by State rules of evidence. Nonetheless, the Federal Government has a leadership role to play in this area. Once the Federal rules are amended, it's possible -- perhaps even likely -- that the States may follow suit and amend their own rules of evidence as well.

First of all, let me talk about the part I agree with Senator Gramm about. A number of my colleagues, Senators Thurmond and Simpson on the Republican side among others, Senator Simon and Senator Kennedy and Senator Leahy and a number on this side of the aisle, have all found some great difficulty with some of the unintended consequences of minimum mandatory sentences that we have passed in the past. So they came to me when we were debating the crime bill on the floor, Democrat and Republican, and said let us come up with a proposal how to deal with these aberrations. We do not want the second-year medical student who has had an exemplary record, has been a model student, a model citizen, a model child through school, a model young adult, because of being found in a circumstance one time to have to go to jail for 10 years without probation or parole for something that we would not send a dealer to jail for for that long, and so on.

So they came along, both Republicans and Democrats, and said we should have this so-called fix, a circumstance whereby you could review, under certain circumstances, a particular minimum mandatory sentence. I in good faith took that provision worked out by that bipartisan group of Senators to a conference with the House of Representatives. We conferenced for, I do not know, 20, 30 hours, a bill that is 1,100 pages long. One of the few things we could not get the House to agree on was this provision.

Democrats and Republicans in the House of Representatives, led by two conservative Republican crime fighters, Mr. Hyde and Mr. McCollum -- Representatives Hyde and McCollum, two very conservative Members of the House, along with all the Democrats -- did not like the Senate provision on reviewing these sentences and said under these rare circumstances you should be able to review those in the future and retroactively review them. That is where this figure of 10,000 drug dealers being let out of jail comes from.

That is pure hyperbole. It is not what will happen. But I happen, in substance, to agree with Senator Gramm. I do not think we should have made this retroactive. I think it should have been prospective. But it was made retroactive.

But that is the place from which I depart from Senator Gramm in agreeing with him on anything else he had to say here. On that one point about being able to look at these minimum mandatory sentences there is no disagreement on whether or not we should look at them. Democrats and Republicans say we should go back and look at them. The disagreement is whether or not it had a retroactive provision; that is, people who may have been unjustly sentenced, sitting in jail, should be able to say: By the way, take a look at my sentence and see whether or not I got a minimum mandatory sentence I should not have gotten.

The Republicans on the House side and Democrats thought that should be done. The Democrats, with the exception of me and one other, thought that should be done. I lost. Gramm's position lost. The other team won. That means out of a 1,100-page bill, that one paragraph was amended. Big deal.

No. 2, the other Gramm provision of making it a crime with a minimum mandatory sentence of 10 years for anyone 21 years or older to buy even an ounce of marijuana from someone 17 years or younger -- this is how his amendment works. If a 21-year-old kid in college bought marijuana from a 17-year-old kid on a college campus, under the Gramm amendment that person, the 21-year-old, must go to jail and serve 10 years, no probation, no parole, no exceptions. And if it happened a second time he must be put in jail for life, no probation, no parole.

All those folks who stole the billions of dollars from the S&L's in Texas -- none of them are in jail serving 10 years. None of them are in jail even considering life. But we are going to send a 21-year-old college student to jail for purchasing one ounce of marijuana -- for life. An incredibly enlightened position. But that is the aberration on the one side, why we cannot have such a crazy law.

But there is some substance to what the Senator says, and I dealt with that in the bill, at least I attempted to. There are also those 23-year-olds and 25-year-olds who go into schoolyards and sell cocaine, go into schoolyards and sell heroin, go into schoolyards and sell methamphetamines, go into schoolyards and hook young kids on drugs. Now those sons of guns should spend a long time in jail. Nobody should have any sympathy for them. So how, on the one hand, do you deal with a provision in my crime bill which is designed to put those people away and not put away the 21-year-old kid who buys an ounce of marijuana from a 17-year-old kid -- all of whom, in the Gramm amendment, would be caught up and swept up in one big net and treated exactly the same? The way to do that, in my view, is that using kids to sell drugs near schools or playgrounds provides triple the penalties otherwise authorized -- using a juvenile to sell drugs in a drug-free zone. Right now, if you use a juvenile to go into that schoolyard -- and that is how they do it, by the way. It is by peers.

The 30-year-old drug dealer does not go into the schoolyard and say, "By the way, I have some drugs." He goes out and hooks some 17-year- old or 15-year-old or 13-year-old kid and he gets that 17- or 15- or 13-year-old kid to go into the schoolyard and sell his drugs for him. When he does that he is covered, he is not selling the drugs.

Or he gets the young kid to carry drugs. That is where the phrase "mule" came from. Because those kids did not go to jail as long and therefore he does not get nailed.

I want to put that person in jail. Right now that person gets, in Federal court, a minimum of 5 to 6\1/2\ years in jail, under the sentencing guidelines. Under the crime bill that just passed out of conference, the maximum penalty for that offense will be tripled -- tripled. So the person will get up to 19 years in jail, if a 21-year- old or 30-year-old or 50-year-old goes in and takes my 13-year-old daughter or your 17-year-old son and gets them to sell drugs to other kids. That is treating harshly the person who should be treated harshly in my view.

I realize I get criticized that that is too harsh. I am told constantly that is not fair. I do not have any sympathy at all for an adult using a child to distribute drugs to another child: None, zero. So I make no apologies for that person under the Biden crime bill going to jail for a long, long time.

The second way we took care of what Senator Gramm is trying to get after with a sledgehammer, we use -- not a scalpel but a big Bowie knife: Not precise, kind of harsh, but not a sledgehammer to grab in the net almost totally innocent people. The second way we do this is we not only triple the sentence for using kids to sell drugs, any crime that an adult engages a child in for purposes of committing a crime -- any crime, not just drugs -- any crime where it involves kids, the current penalty is 5 to 6\1/2\ years and we mandate that the Sentencing Commission increases that penalty. It is a mandate.

So, not only do we cover what Senator Gramm wants covered -- and in all fairness he may not know this was in the bill -- we pick up not only drug crimes but all crimes where an adult is involved in using a child and increase the penalties.

There is another amendment that we debated hotly. I think it is absolutely, positively the wrong thing to do. It would stand on its head, as they say, 800 years of English jurisprudential thinking on admissible evidence. It says, translated in terms of how it really works, if a man is accused of a crime and the charge is a sex crime against a woman or a child, the way it works now the prosecutor can say: "This person here, John Doe, I allege raped Mary Smith. And John Doe is a bad guy. Your Honor, I want to seek permission to enter into evidence acts, prior convictions or similar crimes to show a pattern and practice that this guy operates under, to prove to you -- to lend credibility to the fact that this is the guy who did this to this woman." Under our system the judge looks carefully at that and says, "Is this a pattern? Does this give you any insight? Is this prejudicial?" Sometimes lets that stuff in and sometimes does not.

What Senator Gramm wants to do on behalf of Senator Dole -- which we defeated in the conference -- is to say the prosecutor can say: "You know, if I can go out and find anybody" -- this is literally true now, I am not making this up -- "if I can find anybody, from any time in the defendant's past, who alleged that the defendant did anything similar to the crime for which he was charged, I, the prosecutor, can go get that person, bring them into court and say, `When John Smith, the defendant here who is now 47 years old -- when you went out on a date with him when he was 15 years old, what did he do to you?"' And now a 42-year-old can say, "Well, 27 years ago, I remember John forcibly tried to make love to me." It is incredibly prejudicial. Under our system, for 800 years, we developed these Rules of Evidence because they work. Why do they work? They get at the truth. That is the purpose of them. And to allow total, uncorroborated, unsubstantiated testimony about something that could have happened -- anything -- from the day before to 50 years before into a trial, I think, absolutely violates every basic tenet of our system.

If the person has a pattern, if he has been convicted of similar crimes, if he has been engaged in that kind of activity and there have been complaints, there are ways to bring that in. There are ways with our present evidentiary rules to bring that in, as I say, to the Presiding Officer, who is an accomplished lawyer himself. There are ways to do that. But not this, just waiving all existing rules.

One other thing. Let me tell you what we did here. Notwithstanding the fact I think it is crazy, and that is just my opinion, we have a system whereby when we are going to change the Federal Rules of Evidence -- we set up a system a long time ago. The Judicial Conference sets up an advisory committee. The way it works is they suggest changes in the rules, the Judicial Conference meaning Federal judges. We have a system we put in place because it made sense a long time ago. Federal judges come along and say we should change the Rules of Evidence the following way. And then if we, the U.S. Congress, do not act to stop those changes, essentially those changes become law.

So in this case, what I say we should do is let us go to the judges, let us go to the experts and say, "Does this approach of Senator Dole make any sense? Study it, take a look at it, and come back and tell us whether we should change the Rules of Evidence." That is how we have changed the Rules of Evidence in the 22 years I have been here. There are no fundamental changes in the Rules of Evidence that have been sui generis, that have been spontaneous, that have come from the floor. They come from legal scholars and judges sitting down and saying we should change the Rules of Evidence the following way.

So if it is any consolation -- it probably would not be because I think they will agree with me, but maybe I am wrong -- if it is any consolation to my friends on the Republican side, there is the ability in the request of the Senate and the House to ask the Judicial Conference to take a look at these rules changes -- and they are in fact doing that. That is the orderly way in which we should do this, rather than haphazardly, willy-nilly, on the floor of the U.S. Senate, in a conference on the floor of the Congress, changing these Rules of Evidence, with all due respect, that a lot of people do not fully understand the significance of.

Let me ask a rhetorical question of the Presiding Officer: What do you think would happen if there were no fifth amendment and I came on the floor of the U.S. Senate and submitted an amendment to the Constitution called the fifth amendment? And I said, essentially, the fifth amendment says that nobody should have to make a case against themselves. How many votes do you think that would get on the floor of the Senate? And especially with the public the way they are today, ready to listen to the Rush Limbaugh malarkey and all that right-wing garbage, they would all go, "Oh, no, fifth amendment; that's ridiculous." I wonder how many people would think if I walked on the floor in this atmosphere today and offered the fourth amendment saying the Government cannot engage in an unreasonable search and seizure of your property, I wonder how many votes I would get.

I wonder if people listening to this ask themselves -- as Barry Goldwater would say, in your heart you know whether he is right. In your heart, what do you think would happen if we put the Bill of Rights up for a vote today? What do you think the Rush Limbaughs of the world today would do with the Bill of Rights? Do you think they would sustain them?

When you start changing fundamental Rules of Evidence, you start affecting fundamental questions that, on the surface, are awfully hard to explain. For how could I be against allowing Mary Smith, who said, "John Doe did that to me, too," from coming into court and saying that? How could I be against that, the author of the Violence Against Women Act, the guy who spent more of his waking hours dealing with the problem of violence against women, presuming to say, than any man or woman serving in the U.S. Congress today. How can I be against that? The same way I could be for a fifth amendment. The same way I could be for a fourth amendment. But the public "ain't" ready for that today, because they all want instant answers, instant answers, instant answers.

Mr. President, I will just number them. There are over 60 in this "soft-on-crime" bill, 60 new penalties or penalty increases, which is interesting. I know I must be doing something right, because the liberals are mad at me because I entered these in, and they are part of the bill, and the conservatives do not think they are enough. So we probably hit a pretty good balance here -- probably.

The last amendment that he has here is a little beauty. This one is the one we talked about a lot. It is formally known as the "D'Amato amendment." It is a provision that we expand Federal jurisdiction over all crimes of violence, including property crimes and drug trafficking in which the offender possesses a gun.

Let me tell you how many of those crimes there were last year, Mr. President. There were 900,000 of those crimes. Let us just put this in perspective. I do not know if anybody here is from Philadelphia. Philadelphia is the largest big city near me. The DA in Philadelphia prosecutes roughly 30,000 crimes a year. We don't prosecute that many in the entire Federal system in all 50 States and territories. One DA's office does more than the entire Federal Government. The reason for that is 96 percent of all the crimes committed in America are committed within state jurisdiction.

Let me make the following point, and I will cease. When you think about it, what are my friends, my Republican friends and some of my Democratic friends, asking me to do in this crime bill, and asked me to do when I wrote the crime bill? They are saying why not make the States as responsible as the Federal Government? The Federal Government's sentencing bill, which Senator Kennedy and I wrote in the late seventies, declared that we would have a sentencing commission. If you are convicted in Federal court of a crime, the judge has very limited discretion. You go to jail. If the sentence says 10 years, you go to jail for at least 85% of the sentence. I defy anyone listening to this debate back in their offices, on television in their homes, or in the gallery, to name a single case they have read about in the paper where they have heard that the awful crime was committed by a Federal prisoner out on bail, a Federal prisoner out on parole, a Federal prisoner who got a sentence that had been reduced. It does not exist. Guess why? Because I and a bunch of us who were around in the late seventies led by Senator Kennedy.

So my friends do not want the States to do the same thing. That is why they have this truth-in-sentencing stuff. In the average State, when someone gets convicted for 10 years in prison, they will only serve 4 years and 3 months; your State. Your Governors are not telling you the truth. They tell you they want to get tough on crime. They do not want to build more prisons. They want us to build them for them. But federally we do it. Once we nail them, they are nailed. And they stay in jail.

What is the second thing the Federal Government has done? We have a Speedy Trial Act. I happen to be the author of that act of 10 or 12 years ago. You get convicted, arrested for a Federal crime, and you go to jail. You go to trial within 70 days; no screwing around, no fooling around. It is called the Speedy Trial Act. Most States do not have that.

They are going to take the one system that is not broken -- that is the Federal system as it relates to the criminal justice system -- and they are going to say, "Let us break it. Let us take 900,000 cases that the States are not handling and drop them into the Federal courts." Crime has been a local problem, a local responsibility.

What do we do in this bill? We help the way we should help. We do not Federalize new crimes. We say you need more cops. We -- the Federal Government -- will go to the American taxpayer, and say, "We are going to spend 9 billion of your dollars to get 100,000 more cops; not Federal cops, local cops." What else do we do? We say to the States, "We don't have enough prisons." Last year 30,000 convicted violent felons in State courts were convicted, and then never served a day in jail. Why? Because 34 States are under court orders for prison overcrowding. They do not have any place to put them.

I keep mentioning Philadelphia because I know the city well. But every other city is the same. Every Friday a group of judges on the court of general jurisdiction meet with a list given to them by the clerk of 25, 20, or 500 people, and they are told. "Like Barabbas, you must release X number of people because we have no room for them." They sit there and they release convicted felons because they have no place to put them.

What do we do? We come up with almost $9 billion for the States; Federal money given to the States to build and operate prisons. So next year there will not be 30,000 people, and the next year and the next year released in the States because the Federal Government did what we should do. We used Federal revenue to give to the States, give to the cities, to build more prisons, to buy more cops, and to have tougher penalties. But we should not do it this way.

Now, my friend from Texas, Senator Gramm -- and I guess I should stop using that. Before all of these debates were televised, there is part of a civility here in the Senate which I think is a useful thing where we refer to our opposition as our friends. Every time I say that, people say to me when I get on the train to go home they say, "You got so mad at him but you kept calling him your friend. How can he be your friend? Are not you all being a little phony?" He really is my friend. Phil Gramm and I have incredible disagreements on policy. But he is my friend. He has always been straight with me, and I think he would tell you I am always straight with him.

This kid, Biden, used to be a public defender. He wrote this bill, and guess what? All the cops like it. Guess what? All the prosecutors like it. Guess what? It is tough on crime. Guess what? It means it is hard to make a case. Those soft-headed Democrats, big spending, taxing liberals, are soft on crime. They have a problem.

I make a prediction. When we bring this crime bill up, they will spend at least 2 days on the floor arguing against it; arguing against 100,000 new cops; arguing against 9 billion dollars' worth of new prison money; arguing against 64 new penalties; arguing against over 50 death penalties. Why? If this passes, how can they say Democrats are soft on crime?

It is a problem. I sympathize with it; I really do. I feel badly for them being put in this position. I understand the dilemma, and I suspect we are going to see 50 different versions of what happened here on every single bill. But as we pass this crime bill, God willing -- and as my grandfather would say, "and the creek not rising" -- it is going to become more and more a hollow echo when we talk about getting tough on crime.

Go out and find me any police agency, any law enforcement agency, or anyone who tells you that this bill is soft on crime. It is true that the Senator from Texas did not get all he wanted in the bill. I did not get all I wanted in this bill either. I happen to agree with him and disagree with the Senator from Illinois and the Senator from Massachusetts and my Republican friends over in the House. I think retroactivity should not be in this bill. I lost. But I have a 1,100 page bill, and I lost something, so I am going to be against it?

And then he said, "So I want you to do the following: I want you to keep your eye on the ball. Watch the ball. Do not be distracted. Keep your eye on the ball." I say to my colleagues and to anyone listening to this debate: Keep your eye on the ball. Is the crime bill that we are soon going to debate a tough, honest, straight, significant attempt to deal with violence in America, and to prevent youth who are at risk from becoming violent predators? If it is, be for it. If you think it is not, be against it.

The Rand study -- a highly regarded group -- of this whole field points out that California went from 22,500 prisoners in 1980 to 106,000 in 1992. "This 500-percent increase is the largest of any State in the Nation." Then they conclude, "The data suggests that the massive investment in crime control * * * may have had little effect on California's crime rate, particularly violent crime." Justice Rehnquist, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, has criticized mandatory minimums. Is he a wild-eyed liberal, a radical? Of course not. The two people who are responsible, particularly for the one change that was criticized on the floor by our friend from Texas, are Henry Hyde and Bill McCullom. Is Congressman Henry Hyde a wild-eyed liberal radical? Is Congressman Bill McCullom a wild-eyed liberal radical? Well, we know the answer to that.

Much of the provision for taking away the mandatory minimum sentence on the nonviolent crime was a bill that I introduced, together with Senator Strom Thurmond and Senator Alan Simpson. The Federal judges are just overwhelmingly on that side of things. The National Center for Crime and Delinquency is studying my State of Illinois. The study found that shorter prison terms saved taxpayers $100 million a year without jeopardizing public safety.

It says: -- and I think this is unprecedented -- "any prior conviction, foreign or domestic." We have never before, to my knowledge, ever considered foreign convictions. If someone was a student at Tiananmen Square and was convicted there, should that be used against that person here? I think we are taking a step that clearly we should not be taking, and I hope the Gramm amendment is soundly defeated.
