Strom Thurmond
Mr. President, I rise today to introduce legislation that would establish as U.S. policy the goal of developing and deploying as soon as practical defenses to defend the American people and our forces overseas against ballistic missile attack. This bill is identical to a provision recently passed by the House National Security Committee, which will soon be considered by the full House of Representatives.

Strom Thurmond
The administration has proposed a ballistic missile defense program that focuses almost exclusively on theater missile defense. While I strongly support a robust theater program, as reflected in this bill, I believe that the administration's program is not well balanced.

It is my belief that the administration has failed to put together an adequate national missile defense program to defend the American people against the emerging threat posed by long-range ballistic missiles. Today, the United States faces ballistic missile threats, but has no defense. In the future, there will be more countries which will be able to pose such threats to our country. Therefore, we must begin today to plan for the creation of a highly effective national defense that initially will be able to defend against a limited ballistic missile attack.

Strom Thurmond
In the coming months, the Senate Armed Services Committee will be examining a wide range of options for a national missile defense system. Our decisions will become apparent in the fiscal year 1996 defense authorization bill. The purpose of the bill I am introducing today, is to establish a general policy and to require the Secretary of Defense to establish a plan for developing and deploying a national missile defense system.

I would like to thank Senator Kyl for his work in this area and for being a principal cosponsor of this bill. A number of my colleagues from the Armed Services Committee are also joining me in introducing this important legislation, and I thank them all for their support and hard work on this issue.

Mr. President, today, along with Senator Thurmond and other Senate Armed Services Committee members, I am introducing the Ballistic Missile Defense Revitalization Act of 1995, for the purpose of requiring the Secretary of Defense to develop for deployment, at the earliest practical date, national and theater ballistic missile defense systems. The companion legislation, section 201 of H.R. 7, has passed the House National Security Committee and will soon be voted on by the full House.

I am submitting this legislation in an effort to get the Pentagon's current ballistic missile defense program back on track. Currently, and in the forseeable future, the United States continues to be woefully unprepared to cope with the threat of ballistic missile attack. This must end; and the bill I have introduced today will help end our vulnerability.

Twelve years ago during his State of the Union Address, former President Ronald Reagan posed a simple challenge to America's scientific community: Find a way to make ballistic missiles impotent and obsolete. Because, he asked, "Is it not better to save lives than to avenge them?" With those words, President Reagan chartered one of the most important and controversial defense programs of the modern age -- the strategic defense initiative.

Through the years the SDI program was pushed and pulled in many different directions by both the Congress and administration. No push, however, equalled the shove the Clinton administration gave the program in 1993. With the elimination of key ballistic missile defense programs, the United States is now almost exclusively focused on theater ballistic missile defenses which, hopefully, will be able to defend our troops deployed overseas. But, this limited protection comes at the expense of the development and deployment of national missile defenses.

Focusing only on theater defenses and the threat that is here and now, the administration completely ignores analysis from our Nation's best intelligence experts about the potential future threat to the continental United States.

Intelligence experts have repeatedly warned that terrorism is on the rise, that the quest for nuclear weapons in the Third World has not subsided, and that Russian nuclear materials have shown up on the black market. But, the administration has failed to heed those warnings.

The Washington Times recently carried the headline "Yeltsin Can't Curtail Arms Spread." A Clinton administration official recently stated, "The out-of- control weapons of mass destruction industries in Russia are the No. 1 national security issue facing the United States." China has sold to Saudi Arabia the CSS-2, a medium-range missile capable of reaching any place in Europe.

The threat is real. As former Director of the CIA, Bob Gates, said, "History is not over. It was merely frozen and is now thawing with a vengeance." The CIA claims that 25 nations could acquire chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons by the end of the decade. That's 20 more than we have today. And, potentially, 20 nations that are lead by despots who see it as their duty to annihilate the United States. One of those leaders could be Abul Abbas, head of the Palestinian Liberation Front, who promised revenge on the United States for attacking Iraq. He said, "Revenge takes 40 years. If not my son then the son of my son will kill you. Someday we will have missiles that can reach New York." In day-to-day terms, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction among the Third World and the lack of defenses against those weapons could radically alter the manner in which the United States carries out its foreign policy. Would we have deployed 15,000 troops in Haiti if General Cedras had a weapon of mass destruction and a missile that could reach Florida? Probably not. Would America stand up for human rights and democracy in a starving nation if warlords had stolen nuclear weapons from Russia? Probably not. Would the Persian Gulf war have been fought if Hussein had succeeded in his quest, and acquired a deliverable nuclear weapon? Probably not.

The world will be dramatically different in the 21st century. We cannot predict the future. We don't know who will do it or when it will happen. But, it will happen. Some day, someone, somewhere will launch a ballistic missile at the United States.

When the warning comes, most Americans will believe that we will be able to defend ourselves. We can't. When the codes to launch a nuclear ballistic missile are entered and the keys are turned, there is no way to prevent the missile from reaching its target.

The Clinton administration won't change the situation either. In fact, it's getting worse. The Clinton administration and congressional opponents have destroyed any future strategic capability to defend the United States and are on their way to destroying potential theater defenses as well.

This is being done by their decision to clarify the ABM Treaty to define The ABM Treaty, recall, was signed in 1972 by Leonid Brezhnev and Richard Nixon. It shouldn't have been endorsed in 1972, and it shouldn't be reendorsed in 1995, 23 years later. It most certainly should not be redefined.

The threat has changed. Technology has improved. And the Soviet Union doesn't even exist. But, the Clinton team insists on deliberately drawing a distinction between strategic and theater ballistic missiles, something that was left undefined in 1972.

What the administration's negotiators have accomplished is not only to negotiate away strategic systems -- which came as no surprise -- but, also to negotiate away the only advanced theater systems in research and development in the United States. The Clinton administration has done this by arbitrarily placing speed limits on interceptors. If an interceptor breaks 3km/sec, it is defined as a strategic ABM interceptor and would not be deployable as a theater missile under the new terms of the ABM Treaty. Key theater defense systems, including THAAD and Navy Upper Tier, have capabilities beyond 3km/sec. and, thus, could not be further developed as designed.

Over the last 2 years, the opponents have won significant budget cuts in ballistic missile defenses and have succeeded in canceling all space-based options. This is especially disturbing because space-based sensors and interceptors are critical to the success of any global strategic defense system. They provide worldwide, instanteous detection of and protection against missiles launched from anywhere in the world, and are both cheaper and more effective than their ground-based counterparts.

During Operation Desert Shield, it took the United States 6 months and 400 airlifts to put in place the Patriot interceptors that were used to shoot down some of the Iraqi Scuds. With space-based interceptors, coverage would be instanteous. Yet, all systems capable of accomplishing that mission have been zeroed. Zeroed, because using space for military purposes is politically unpopular.

This narrowmindedness and refusal to view space for what it is -- the high frontier, boundless in opportunity -- will have serious consequences for our future military successes. Like earlier forays into the air and the sea, the use of space will change the course of warfare. It's already happening. The United States should not deny itself that capability.

The Ballistic Missile Defense Revitalization Act restores the focus of the BMD program to development and deployment of defenses capable of protecting a theater as well as the continental United States. This is an important step in establishing a firm basis for a national response to the growing threat from Third World ballistic missiles.

In closing, I will note that 12 years of ballistic missile defense research has produced a series of successes. There is no longer any doubt that defense against ballistic missiles is feasible. It is my hope that the next few years of ballistic missile defense research will achieve President Reagan's original goal -- to make nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete. The moral imperative is, as President Reagan said, that it is better to save lives than to avenge them.

Mr. President, I introduce a bill that will help Americans defray the costs of a college education. For many, the dream of a college education can never be fulfilled simply because they can not meet the skyrocketing costs. I am sure all of my colleagues will agree that this Nation's future success is dependent on the education of our children today.

Mr. President, the facts are clear. Education costs are outpacing average wages and this has created a barrier to attending college. Throughout the 1980's education costs have risen 8 percent per year. At this pace, an average tuition bill of $5,000 will be $11,700 in the year 2000. In 1994, the average tuition in America rose by 6 percent. It was also the smallest since 1989 according to the College Board.

In Kentucky last year tuition rocketed 11.2 percent at the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville. For other regional schools, students and parents only saw their costs rise by 5.3 percent. The largest increase, however, was felt by the students attending community colleges where costs rose 14.3 percent.

As tuition continues to increase, so does the need for assistance. In 1990, over 56 percent of all students accepted some form of financial assistance. The statistic was even higher for minority students. Also on the rise are need-based scholarships and grants. In Kentucky, between 1984 and 1992, need-based scholarships rose by 160 percent.

It is increasingly common for students to study now and pay later. In fact, more students than ever are forced to bear the additional loan costs in order to receive an education. Between 1993 and 1994 Federal loan volume rose by 57 percent from the previous year. On top of that, students have increased the size of their loan burden by an average of 28 percent. So, not only are more students taking out loans, but they are taking out bigger loans as well. Next May at graduation time, nearly half the graduates will hit the pavement with their diplomas and stack of loan repayment books.

I believe that we need to reverse this trend by boosting savings and to help parents meet the education needs of their children. The bill I am introducing today, will make changes to the Tax Code maximizing the scope and the investment in State-sponsored education savings plans.

This legislation will permit parents to contribute up to $3,000 annually in after-tax dollars to a State-sponsored plan. Also this amount will be indexed to match the annual growth in education costs. The real benefit of this program will allow earnings to accumulate tax- free when used to meet educaiton costs. Any earnings not used for educational purposes will be taxed at the students individual rate. I believe this will provide a significant benefit to families and correct, at least in this instance, the unfair tax discrimination toward savings.

For those States that have established programs, whether they are prepared, savings or bond programs this legislation will provide tax- exempt status to those organizations that administer these programs. In November 1994, the U.S. Appeals Court in Cincinnati ruled that the Michigan Education Trust is not subject to Federal income tax. This language would also remove any misunderstanding regarding the taxation of these investments.

This tax designation will serve two purposes. Once, it will send a clear message regarding each organization's mission to help families finance a child's education. Second, it will reduce the administrative expenses, thus increasing the investment in education.

Mr. President, this is not another unfunded mandate. This legislation merely provides States with an option to invest in their most important resource, their children. I am confident that following the passage of this legislation more and more States will seek to establish similar programs to stimulate both education savings and reduce the need for State assistance in the future.

This legislation is not a funding cure but is a serious effort to encourage long-term savings. Participants don't have to be rich to participate. In fact, the average monthly contribution in Kentucky is just $47.22. This program will reward an individuals long term investment in education.

The alternative funding option is to continue in our futile attempt to outpace the rising cost of education through subsidies and aid. More that likely this would exacerbate the dollar chase driving costs even higher. I am confident, that my legislation will take the burden off the Federal and State government to subsidize students.

While we have made significant progress in reducing death and injury on America's highways, it is time to build on that success and focus Federal resources on those areas which will produce the highest return on safety for each dollar invested. At this time of scrutiny for all Federal spending, the high-risk drivers bill gives taxpayers a great value.

Three groups of drivers need special attention in our continuing efforts to make the Nation's highways safer. They are young drivers, high-risk drivers or repeat offenders and older drivers.

This legislation encourages the States and the Federal Government to focus attention on all three groups. Even with the great need to reduce the Federal budget deficit, this is one area where we must recognize and take action on the fact that a small investment will yield significant returns. When I chaired a hearing on this important legislation last year, one expert testified that if this legislation were enacted, there would be at least a tenfold return on investment due to reduced costs of death, injury, and loss of productivity.

Of course, no economist can measure the cost of the sorrow, pain, and suffering incurred by parents, friends, and families of those killed and injured in traffic accidents. No economist can measure the value of relief parents feel each and every time their young sons and daughters return home safely.

Even with the long-term decline in traffic fatality rates, too many lose their lives in traffic accidents. In 1993, according to the National Safety Council, over 42,000 Americans died in auto crashes. That's like losing a city the size of Grand Island, NE and its surrounding area.

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among teenagers. Teen drivers comprise 7.4 percent of the U.S. population but are involved in 15.4 percent of the fatal motor vehicle crashes. The simple problem is that it takes a great deal of experience, judgment, and maturity to master the operation of a vehicle. Unfortunately, many young drivers are not getting the training they need to master the safe operation of automobiles. In addition, the temptations and pressures faced by today's teenagers sometimes run counter to the skills and the values needed to safely operate a motor vehicle. The high-risk drivers bill attempts to temper those temptations and impulses by putting at risk what many teens value the most, their driver's license, or, in the vernacular, their "wheels." The High-Risk Drivers Act encourages States through incentive grants to conduct youth-oriented traffic-safety enforcement, education, and training programs, and to adopt a graduated license system where a full unrestricted license is not obtained until a young driver has had a clean driving record for at least 1 year.

The bill focuses heavy attention on drinking and driving. States are encouraged to adopt a zero tolerance policy for underage drinking and driving by adopting, as the State of Nebraska has, a blood alcohol threshold level of .02 percent for drivers under the age of 21. In addition, the bill encourages States to adopt a minimum $500 fine for anyone who sells alcohol to minors, a 6-month suspension for drivers under the age of 21 caught drinking and driving and a prohibition against open containers of alcohol inside automobiles.

The high-risk drivers bill also attempts to get parents involved by providing them with information about the effect that at-fault accidents and traffic violations have on young drivers insurance rates before any tragic and expensive accidents occur.

The second focus area of this legislation is on repeat offenders and high-risk drivers. This section of the bill uses incentive grants to encourage States to maintain better records of serious drivers offenses, to improve the sharing of driver information, and to establish remedial programs for young high-risk drivers.

Perhaps most innovative and effective is an effort to encourage States to adopt vehicle confiscation schemes for repeat drunk drivers. This provision, with appropriate protection for family members, will help crack down on that hard core group of repeat offenders drunk drivers who so endanger every citizen, including themselves.

This legislation also establishes an aggressive research agenda for older drivers. Our Nation's transportation policies must anticipate the mobility needs of the Nation's senior population. This include strategies which use technology and licensing plans which help older drivers keep their independence. I am pleased to report that the American Association of Retired Persons supports the older driver provisions of this act.

This bill embraces the bipartisan compromise Senator Danforth and I crafted last year. Both the House and Senate voted for this legislation but the House-passed vehicle for this bill was blocked in the Senate during the closing hours of the last Congress for reasons unrelated to this important safety program.

To the Senator from Nebraska, if he is working on issues dealing with drunk driving, I applaud him for it, and I am very interested in working with him on it. I will reintroduce legislation in the Senate that I have introduced previously on the subject of drunk driving.

Two members of my family have been killed by drunk drivers. I expect there is not anyone in this Chamber who has not received a call to tell them a loved one, a neighbor, a relative, or a close killed because of a drunk driver.

It is unforgivable in this country that today, in February 1995, there are still nearly 10 States in which a person can get behind a wheel of a car, grab the neck of a fifth of whiskey, put the key in the ignition, drive off and drink, and it is perfectly legal. There ought not to be one instance, anywhere in America, where it should be legal to drink and drive at the same time.

We should not tolerate the fact that there are nearly 10 States where a person can drink and drive, and it is legal in another 20 States that, if the driver cannot drink, the rest of the folks in the car can be having a party with beer or whiskey. The fact is we ought not accept that in this country. No family should receive another call at midnight saying their mother, their brother, their father, or their sister is dead because of another drunk-driving accident.

I say to the Senator from Nebraska, I do not know the details of his legislation, but I do know this: As long as I serve in the Congress, I will continue, year after year after year, until all across this country no matter where an American drives, on whichever street or road or highway, that person will have some assurance that it is not legal in that jurisdiction to be drinking while driving and it is not legal in that jurisdiction to have an open container of alcohol in the vehicle. That ought to be the minimum we would expect in this country for the state of all Americans.

I think it is the same, as I outlined in my remarks, since it passed the House and the Senate. I see no reason why we cannot expedite passage of this matter. I have delayed introducing it only because there were many other things going on, but I think, even as important as those matters are, that we should get going on this.

I must tell the Senator that this piece of legislation was sparked primarily by a typically tragic teenage accident that happened in my State not too many months ago where young people, 16 and 17 years of age, went out for a good time at night. The problem was that the driver had one too many half-cans of beer. It is a tragic. I am not saying that this bill will solve all of the problem, but I appreciate the pledge of support from my colleague from North Dakota.

Again, to me it does not make sense that in England, in European countries, for example, people understand that the consequences of drunk driving are so substantial that a person better not get caught because they will get hit with an enormous penalty. There is a completely different attitude about it in the European countries. Here it has been treated kind of like, Well, old Joe, or old Helen just went out and had too much to drink. That was not a problem.

It was not, unless they murdered with a vehicle. That is what happens in this country. Every 28 minutes, around the clock, somebody gets another call that says your relative died because of a drunk driver. This is not some mysterious illness for which we do not have a cure. This is not beyond the comprehension of humans to deal with. We deal with it by saying to people, Do not even think about driving if you drink. Don't even think about it. The consequences are too great.

My bill is quite simple: it repeals the penalties specified in section 153 of title 23 of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act [ISTEA], passed in 1991. Section 153 imposed a penalty on those States that had not complied by September 30, 1994. These Federal sanctions forced States without helmet laws to divert 1.5 percent of their fiscal 1995 highway funds from three programs -- the National Highway Safety Program, the Surface Transportation Program, and the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program -- and spend those funds instead on section 402 safety programs. For fiscal year 1996, the penalty doubled, taking a 3-percent chunk from the State highway construction account.

Once again, the Federal Government is trying to micromanage State transportation budgets, imposing a heavy-handed Federal mandate upon more than half of our States. And make no mistake, Mr. President: this is no carrot and stick. It is a mandate, and despite the broad reach of Federal law, section 153 has failed in its explicit intent.

Fewer than half of the States are in compliance with this Federal law. Two years into these intrusive Federal sanctions, 28 States remain without helmet laws and are subject to financial penalties. These States disagree with the Federal Government's intrusion into what has traditionally been within the jurisdiction of individual States. And although Federal penalties doubled last year, none of these States have passed laws requiring motorcyclists to wear helmets.

Instead, these valuable Federal dollars will be spent on highway safety programs, which most States already fund quite generously. States -- and motorcyclists in the States -- have been at States have funded State motorcycle safety programs, most of which are paid for by the motorcyclists themselves, through motorcycle registration and license fees. Motorcyclists understand that their safety is at risk on highways -- and they want to make sure that their fellow riders and drivers of passenger cars and trucks have good awareness of motorcycle safety.

Nevertheless, the Federal Government -- through section 153 -- insists of forcing States to redirect their precious Federal resources to programs that are already well-funded. Frankly, I don't believe that we should compel States to direct desperately needed highway construction funds into highway safety programs that are already well funded.

The most recent data shows that States have already been doing an excellent job promoting highway safety. since 1983, the number of accidents has decreased from 3,070 per 10,000 registered motorcyclists to 206. Fatalities have similarly declined from 8 per 10,000 registered motorcyclists to 6 per 10,000 registered motorcyclists. Even without a motorcyle helmet law, the number of motorcycle occupant fatalities declined 58.9 percent, from 5,097 in 1980 to 2,398 in 1992 when no mandatory Federal helmet law existed. Accidents declined by 53.4 percent in this same period. This substantial decline in motorcyle fatalities demonstrates that States are capable of addressing safety issues without intervention by the Federal Government.

It is also interesting to note that of the 10 States with the lowest motorcycle accident rate, 8 had motorcycle rider education programs. In fact, the 10 States with the lowest motorcycle accident rates spent 64.4 percent more on motorcycle rider education programs than States with the 10 highest motorcycle accident rates. Clearly, safety programs do work, and we should allow them to continue to work.

The penalty provisions of section 153 affect States in dire need of their highway construction funds. For my State of Maine, the estimated penalty was $853,194 in fiscal year 1995, increasing to $1,706,387 in fiscal year 1996. I believe that section 153 runs contrary to the principles of federalism, as the Federal Government tries to thwart the efforts of States to rebuild their transportation infrastructure in order to coerce States to pass helmet laws. And it is poor public policy, because poorly-maintained roads are often quite hazardous to the motoring public.

I have always strived to protect the interests of our communities by allowing them and the individual States to make the important decisions on how their affairs should be run. I believe that each State and each community should, to the extent of their ability, be allowed to make their own policy decisions. This is consistent with the ideas of the Founding Fathers.

State governments are closer to their citizens than the Federal Government. Surely, these democratic institutions understand the best interests of their citizens on this important issue, and the Federal Government should respect their decision. Yet section 153 erodes the very freedoms and liberties of our democracy, and on which our Nation was founded. Through provisions such as section 153, we are gradually stripping away the limited autonomy of the States.

Where will we draw the line? How far will Congress go in the debate over State freedoms? The National Conference of State Legislators expressed a clear and solid view during testimony before Congress in 1993: the mandatory helmet and seat belt law provision, it said, is one of the most infringing provisions on the right of individual States included in ISTEA.

Major An, a former South Vietnamese helicopter pilot, was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for risking his own life to save four American servicemen in Vietnam in 1969. Two years later, his helicopter was hit by enemy fire and went down in flames while he was on a mission in Vietnam's central highlands. Major An managed to land the aircraft safely, saving himself and his crew; however, his arms were severely burned and had to be amputated by American doctors. He was imprisoned in a Vietnamese reeducation camp for 9 weeks, but was released because he was considered worthless without his two hands. Major An attempted to escape Vietnam by boat three times, but each time he was captured, and he spent 17 months in jail for the escape attempts.

Mr. President, last January, Senators Simpson, Mathews, Hatfield, Specter, Nickles, Bennett, and myself gave Major An and his daughter refuge on an Air Force plane from Ho Chi Minh City to Bangkok. One of the most touching moments I have ever experienced was the thrill of announcing to Major An that our plane had cleared Vietnam's airspace and hearing everyone in our delegation and the military escorts clap and cheer. Major An and his daughter are currently in this country on humanitarian parole.

Unfortunately, this bill was not acted on last year, so I rise today to submit new legislation for their relief. I hope my colleagues will join with me in recognizing the heroic actions of Major An and will reward him for his bravery by giving him and his daughter the opportunity to reside permanently in the United States.

A short time ago, international terrorism seemed to be in decline. But in 1993, the last year for which data are available, the State Department's Office of Counterterrorism reports that there were 427 terrorist incidents, an increase from 364 incidents in 1992.

The main reason for the increase was an acceleration of the campaign conducted by the Kurdistan workers party -- known as the PKK -- against Turkish interests in Western Europe.

In the 1980's, Congress and the Reagan administration worked together to empower law enforcement with many tools to counter the men of terror. Last year, President Clinton urged a refocus on terrorism -- and sought recommendations from the executive branch agencies on new tools that might be needed in the fight against terrorism.

The use of secret evidence raises fundamental questions about the accuracy of any determinations made using that procedure. Our system of justice is an adversarial one. It assumes that by allowing defendants to see and challenge the evidence against them, the reliability and truthfulness of that information can be evaluated.

That is what cross-examination is all about -- to test the reliability and biases of the witness. That is why the defense is allowed to put on witnesses to rebut evidence presented by the prosecution. If a person does not know what evidence is being used against him, it is simply impossible to subject that evidence to the scrutiny our system requires.

I agree with the administration that we must have the ability to deport aliens involved in terrorist activities. I also agree that we must be able to safeguard classified information. But I am not convinced that nothing short of secret evidence can protect our security. Why, for example, can we not consider applying the Classified Information Procedures Act -- a tried and tested process -- to deportation proceedings, before we sanction in this country Kafkaesque procedures requiring people to defend against unknown and unseen evidence.

Mr. President, as chairman of the Intelligence Committee and the Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Government Information, I am pleased to join with the distinguished ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, Senator Biden, the ranking member of the Terrorism Subcommittee, Senator Kohl, the chairman of the Banking Committee, who has a long history of involvement on counter-terrorism activities, Senator D'Amato, and the ranking member of the Intelligence Committee, Senator Kerrey, in introducing the Omnibus Counter-Terrorism Act of 1995. I note that this bipartisan measure was drafted by the Justice and State Departments, and I appreciate their input and actions in support of this bill.

I have been actively involved in the fight against international terrorism for many years. In 1986, I introduced the law that made it a crime to commit an act of terrorism against a U.S. citizen in a foreign country. I also introduced a bill to provide the death penalty for terrorism murderers of U.S. citizens. A terrorist death penalty was finally enacted in 1994 as part of the crime bill.

This bill provides a next, but overdue step. It would, for the first time, make an act of international terrorism committed in this country a violation of Federal law and provide severe punishment, including the death penalty in the case of terrorist murders, against those who would commit acts of violence against people in the United States for political purposes. The legislation will also strengthen the hand of U.S. authorities to attack international terrorists by making illegal conspiracies to plan overseas terrorist acts in this country.

A second vital component of the legislation will make it easier to deport suspected terrorists from the United States. The current procedures of the Immigration and Nationality Act are cumbersome. The procedures outlined in this bill will expedite such deportations. Although I believe we need to study this issue, I am concerned about the due process implications of some of the special procedures that permit secret proceedings. I think the subcommittee will need to hold hearings on this issue and review it very carefully in order to ensure we strike the right balance between our national security needs and the requirements of the Constitution.

The third component of this comprehensive bill will be a restriction on fundraising for international terrorist groups in the United States. While international organizations will still be able to raise funds in the United States for charitable purposes, any fundraising in this country for an organization determined by the President to be engaged in conducting or supporting international terrorism will be barred. Again, we will need to take a very close look at this provision to ensure that it comports with the requirements of the first amendment.

Though Americans are less at risk of terrorist attack than citizens of other countries, we are not immune, and we never will be, so long as we are a democracy with open borders. The concrete barriers now gracing the entrances to the World Trade Center -- and to this very building -- are a stark reminder of this reality.

Mr. President, what we are seeing today is an exponential increase in violence across the globe. Acts that were once thought to be implausible are becoming commonplace. We witnessed the bombing of the World Trade Center 2 years ago. What we saw there was something that so sane person could imagine. Unfortunately, six people were killed and over 1,000 were injured. Thankfully, more we not killed and due to quick police work the perpetrators Additionally, special recognition must go out to those responsible for the arrest of Ramzi Yousef, the alleged mastermind of the operation, in Pakistan just this week.

We must prevent another World Trade Center-like operation from taking place. We can no longer rely on luck. The bill we are introducing today will close loopholes and shore up jurisdiction problems and allow us to get our hands on these murdering terrorists before they get a chance to act and if need be, to grab them overseas. It offers us essential legal tools such as the RICO statute and wiretapping capabilities to stop terrorism in its tracks.

Three times in the past 25 years the Forest Service has studied the possibility of transferring land in Elsmere Canyon to a private company that wants to build a 190-million-ton landfill on the site. The landfill would destroy the canyon, 1,600 acres of resource rich, publicly owned land held in trust by the National Forest Service.

The proposed landfill would sit atop the aquifer that serves the entire Santa Clarita Valley, posing a considerable risk of contamination to this critical water supply.

Elsmere Canyon is a major wildlife corridor connecting the San Gabriel and Santa Monica Mountains. This corridor serves the needs of deer, bear, and cougars. If the connection were destroyed, many of these animals would end up in residential areas threatening both the animals and local residents.

It is clear that this national forest property is far too valuable to be transferred for the purpose of constructing a landfill. We must also be concerned about establishing a precedent of using national forest lands for this purpose when realistic alternatives exist. It is particularly difficult to justify the loss of this resource in a region with limited open space and recreational facilities.

To its credit, the Forest Service has denied each of the requests that have been made for the transfer of Elsmere Canyon. But the economic and political pressure remains. This bill, introduced in the House by Congress Buck McKeon with the support of many of his Republican and Democratic colleagues, takes the landfill option off the table. It takes a strong position in favor of Forest Service management that places the public good before private profit.

Mr. President, I am today introducing the Asset Conservation, Lender Liability, and Deposit Insurance Protection Act of 1995. This bill addresses an urgent issue facing America's banks and lenders today -- the imposition of massive liability for the cleanup of property they hold as security interest on a loan, or as the technical owner under a leveraged lease, that is later discovered to be contaminated.

Mr. President, court decisions have eviscerated the "secured creditor exception" currently contained in CERCLA, or as it is more commonly known, the Superfund law. Some courts have scrutinized the oversight activities of creditors, and deemed them responsible for cleanup costs. For instance, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals deemed a secured creditor liable because it exercised authority over the contaminated property "sufficiently broad to support the inference that it could affect hazardous waste disposal decisions if it chose." As a result, lenders risk being targeted as convenient deep pockets, and being forced to foot the cleanup bill for contamination, not because they caused it or did not take precautions, but simply because they hold a security interest or have some other technical indicia of ownership.

Mr. President, this bill will not permit lenders to evade responsibility if they cause environmental contamination. But lenders should not be held liable merely because of their deep pockets. The imposition of culpability based on legal dictates of commercial or fiduciary law is wrong. And, the implications of this legal doctrine extend beyond the finance industry. Why? Because the so-called deep pockets in the banking and finance industries are not bottomless pits. And the ultimate losers in this scheme are not the lenders, but potential borrowers, especially small businesses, who may face liability. Lenders are reluctant to extend credit and face potential liability. Many small businesses and potential homeowners do not receive financing because of potential claims. Without access to credit small businesses can not get off the ground or grow. So, in the final analysis, the victims are economic growth and job creation.

Mr. President, the refinements embodied in this bill are not new. The Senate passed similar legislation in Corporation Improvement Act. The Senate approved a lender liability amendment to the Federal Housing Enterprises Regulatory Reform Act of 1992. Last year, the Banking and Environment Committees worked together and crafted language for inclusion in the Superfund reauthorization bill. This bill is modeled on final language form that bill, with several adjustments. Most significantly, this bill would clarify lender liability rules not only with respect to Superfund, but also with respect to the underground tank provisions of the Solid Waste Disposal Act.

This bill will make clear the potential liability that lenders, acting in their capacity as secured creditors, lessors, or fiduciaries, face for contamination. Lender liability will be limited to the net gain that the lender realizes from the sale of property. Fiduciary liability may not exceed the assets held in that fiduciary capacity. This bill also addresses the liability problems that the FDIC, RTC, and other banking agencies face when they close a financial institution and take over the assets of the failed institution. If these assets include contaminated property acquired through foreclosure, the agency may assume liability for contamination for which it is not responsible. Finally, the bill provides clarity as to when creditors will be deemed to be owners or operators of contaminated property, and excludes federally appointed receivers and conservators, including Federal agencies acting in this capacity, from the definition of owner or operator.

Mr. President, the time has come to make it clear that innocent banks and lenders should not face liability for environmental contamination because they make a loan or protect their security interest. In light of the Supreme Court's denial of certiorari in Kelly versus Environmental Protection Agency, the EPA's ability to effectively address this problem is limited. Congressional action is needed. The Senate has an ambitious agenda set out for this Congress; an agenda that includes regulatory relief and litigation reforms. This bill is consistent with this initiative for economic growth. I offer this bill in the hopes of furthering the process of reform.
