Tom Daschle
Mr. President, since the terrible bombing in Oklahoma City more than 2 weeks ago, we have been forced to consider what the society should do in self-defense against potentially deadly maniacs who think that killing defenseless people is a way to send a political message or effect political change.

We cannot afford to give the terrorists what they want to achieve -- the subversion of our free institutions -- in the effort to prevent their terrorist acts. But we cannot remain complacent in the face of determined threats either.

Tom Daschle
The President has sent to Congress his proposal to give Federal law enforcement additional resources and tools to use in combating domestic and international terrorism on American soil. It includes commonsense expansion of FBI investigative authorities in counterterrorism cases, such as access to credit reports and travel and hotel records, which are routinely available to State and local law enforcement authorities in criminal investigations.

It will expand the FBI's ability to use trace-and-track devices and pen registers to capture the phone numbers dialed from or coming in to a particular telephone. It does not abandon the requirement of American law that no phone may be tapped without an explicit warrant, issued only when there is probable cause to suspect criminal activity.

In the century preceding the Oklahoma City bombing, although terrorist groups were numerous, and although horrible murders, kidnapings, and other crimes by them were frequent, there were fewer than a dozen terrorist attacks that cost more than 100 lives.

There is reason to fear, according to experts, that this trend is shifting. Where once terrorists would take hostages and threaten the lives of 1 or 2 or 20 people if their demands were not met, they no longer issue specific demands. They take fewer and fewer hostages.

Instead, they attack more soft targets, where civilian casualties are bound to be higher. They are aiming less at a particular demand and more at terrorizing the entire society.

They build more car bombs and undertake more suicide attacks; they attack civilians in crowds -- airplanes, subways, and office buildings. They make fewer explicit demands, but their broader demands are more apocalyptic.

If this trend continues, instead of a cold war atmosphere of threat and counterthreat, of massive nuclear stockpiles poised to strike each other's targets, we face the prospect of random violence -- impossible to predict, impossible to counter, impossible to explain.

A civilized society can live with many fears. We lived with the fear of nuclear holocaust for almost 50 years, yet our society became freer throughout that time. The great advances in civil rights and protections against Government were postwar.

But no civilized society will survive the threat of random terror. It cannot. We must be able to feel secure as we travel to our workplaces each day, as we sit at our desks or man our service counters -- that we will end the day predictably, by going home, making dinner, performing the normal pattern of tasks and duties we face.

If we ever reach the point where randomized terror can paralyze us, can make Americans distrust each other -- distrust the safety of the next few hours -- the terrorists will have won, because we will be what they want us to be: an atomized nation, without community, without security, without anything except fear for immediate individual survival.

This change presents us, as a society, with a challenge as well. Americans are of diverse faiths, but we are among the We respect the faith of others, and we respect the demands of their religion. Our respect for religious belief is not enshrined only in our first amendment. It is an instinctive American habit not to second- guess the faith of your neighbor.

Tom Daschle
Since 1990, 40 percent of all terrorist acts worldwide have been committed explicitly against American targets. That is, in large part, because the success of our society is a standing refutation of the beliefs of many of these groups. Unless our system can be destroyed, their vision cannot be vindicated.

Reports that some Americans think they have to shoot down military helicopters on routine training missions are surfacing. A Member of Congress has even proposed requiring Federal law enforcement agents to be formally deputized by local authorities before they can carry out their responsibilities. Reports of threats against local officials have discouraged involvement in local government meetings in some regions.

I do not believe that words alone cause terrorist acts. I do not think anyone seriously believes so. But I do believe that a culture is comprised of many factors, feeding into its hopes and fears, and I do believe that a culture changes as the factors feeding its hopes and playing on its fears change.

Tom Daschle
When people in the mainstream become careless with words, they breach barriers that create a new set of assumptions. Barriers, once breached, are permeable in both directions. The lunacy of the fringe enters the mainstream even as the careless or calculated words of the mainstream create a new defining normalcy. Senator Moynihan has spoken about a society that redefines deviancy. Those aggressively seeking to make their mark on our society should examine how they are defining normalcy.

We are warned by the Tokyo subway bombing earlier this year that weapons of mass destruction need not be explosives. Easily manufactured chemical and biological weapons can be as deadly and effective when the goal is to terrorize a community.

Before it collapsed, the Soviet Union operated the largest biological warfare production facility in the world, employing 15,000 scientists. These people had developed a form of bubonic plague that was resistant to 26 antibiotics, a form of fast-spreading meningitis, agents that could be introduced into water systems or into the air in climate- controlled buildings.

Today, these people face the economic collapse of the system that supported them as highly paid and privileged specialists. All they need to re-create their deadly work is carried in their own brains. The temptation to sell that knowledge outside of Russian borders cannot be ignored at a time when the value of their monthly wages has fallen to less than $70.

Again, this threat is not limited to international terrorists. In August 1994, our own FBI arrested two members of a group calling itself the Patriots' Council in Minneapolis. This group was concocting ricin, a neurotoxin that can be produced from the common castor bean plant.

An equally deadly potential is the contamination of a conventional bomb with radioactivity. Since May 1994, there have been 39 separate incidents of nuclear materials diversion in Eastern and Southern Europe. It is not necessary for radioactive material to be made into an explosive device like a bomb. The contamination of a conventional bomb with radioactive materials is simpler; its terrifying effect would be as great.

We cannot and must not succumb to the temptation of regarding everyone with oddball notions as a potential threat. But, unfortunately, neither can we write off all oddballs as harmless.

Curtailing the appellate rights of prisoners on death row is not going to change the murderous intentions of terrorist groups. The extraneous politically motivated inclusion of these kinds of provisions does a disservice to the cause of counterterrorism. It does not move us forward; it is intentionally and purposefully divisive.

I very much regret that this is on the agenda of some in the wake of a national tragedy. I would hope that these issues could be abandoned for the time being, out of respect for the families of the victims of the Oklahoma bombing and so that we may enact the necessary counterterrorism legislation expeditiously. We have plenty of time for politics later. This is a time that demands unity.

This bill now also revises current wiretap laws to provide authorization for wiretaps in connection with any felony if the Department of Justice certifies that it is connected to foreign or domestic terrorism, and it allows for emergency wiretaps in terrorism investigations.

Mr. President, I am introducing the Medicare Billing Abuse Prevention Act to implement recommendations of the General Accounting Office concerning abusive and improper billing practices that are costing the American taxpayer and individual Medicare beneficiaries billions of dollars. There is controversy over what should be done concerning Medicare. But, I am hopeful that we will all agree that medical providers should receive what they are entitled to and should not receive payments based on improper billings.

Last year, I along with the chairman and ranking member of the Budget Committee asked the GAO to look at how much Medicare loses because of its inability to prevent and detect abusive and inappropriate billings by health care providers. We specifically asked them what savings the taxpayers and Medicare beneficiaries might realize if Medicare was to use the commercially available state of the art computer programs to detect and stop abusive payments.

GAO has done their usual excellent work. The results of their review are dramatic. Medicare's system for detecting abuse is failing and it's costing American taxpayers and senior citizens millions every day. Taxpayers and those on Medicare could save roughly $4 billion over the next 5 years if Medicare harnessed the power of the private sector and used state of the art anti-abuse equipment.

Although I believed we had a problem, the GAO has uncovered losses from improper billings that are far larger than I expected. They also suggested a straightforward solution that will conservatively save the Medicare trust fund about $640 million per year and Medicare beneficiaries over $140 million a year in their out of pocket costs. Those estimates are based on four separate samples of 200,000 actual filed claims each that were processed with commercially available software developed by four separate computer companies that now provide the software to commercial users, primarily insurance companies.

I was pleased to hear that the great majority of medical care providers billed the Government correctly. The losses were the results of billings submitted by 8 percent of providers. I do want to point out that all errors are not purposeful. But, whatever the reason, the Medicare trust fund should have the best protections against improper payments.

Many in Congress are proposing dramatic cuts in Medicare and Medicaid to pay for tax cuts and reduce the deficit. They are suggesting that senior citizens and the disabled, most of whom live on limited, fixed incomes, pay more for Medicare. And they are suggesting dramatic cuts in payments to doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers -- cuts that will either reduce health care access and quality of care for older Americans, or simply be shifted on to the millions of working Americans who have private health insurance.

While Medicare for years led the health care field in technology, today it has been left in the dust. While most of the Nation's leading private health insurers and managed care plans are saving billions by using this state of the art equipment, Medicare lags behind. In fact, many of the same private health insurers that Medicare contracts with to process its claims use this new technology on their private sector business but can't use the same to bring American taxpayers and seniors Medicare savings. This is part of the reason why Medicare's costs are rising faster than private sector health care costs.

The GAO had four private companies that have developed sophisticated computer technology to detect and stop billing abuse run a representative sample of doctors bills Medicare had already checked and paid through their systems. The private sector systems found instance after instance where Medicare, with its outdated computer technology, paid abusive or inappropriate bills that should have been denied. The most common form of billing abuse identified was unbundling, where a doctor performs a procedure and bills Medicare not only for the full procedure, but also for components of the procedure. For example, a doctor bills Medicare $5,000 for gall bladder surgery, but also bills Medicare $1,000 for the incision and closing the wound. Medicare is paying twice for the same service. Other examples of unbundling abuses identified include: billing for multiple visits to the same patient on the same day; billing separately for injections and chemotherapy administration when those injections are simply a component of the chemotherapy administration; and, billing for excessive numbers of Pap smears for the same woman on the same day.

Billing abuses that the commercial computer systems would identify include mutually exclusive procedures, the use of an inappropriate assistant at surgery, duplicate billings, and global fee period violations where one charge might cover a physician's services for 30 days after surgery and the doctor separately charges for services provided during that time period. [[Page S6217]] The GAO indicates that it would cost around $20 million or less to install the private sector technology in Medicare. And they have clearly demonstrated that such an investment would save Medicare taxpayers and beneficiaries over $3.9 billion in 5 years. So, for every dollar we invest, taxpayers will get a $200 return. I call that a bargain. I want to reiterate: for every day we fail to invest, taxpayers will lose about $2 million. And more will be lost by individual Medicare patients, sometimes thousands of dollars by a single individual. I call that a scandal.

First, it will provide a definite time when commercially available computer systems shall be in actual use to catch billing code abuses by all of the 32 Medicare contractors who examine Medicare billings so errors and abusive billing practices can be caught. HCFA has been given 90 days from the date of enactment to set out the exact requirements under which the 32 Medicare contractors shall have a computer checking system in place. And, it requires that the contractors actually have the system in use within 180 days after enactment.

It is my hope and expectation that this can be done more quickly than that. HCFA should now begin the process to develop the criteria without waiting for the legislation to pass. With the full cooperation of the agency, I am hopeful that the HCFA implementing requirements could be ready by the time the President signs the bill. That will allow the contractors to move more quickly as well.

Many of the 32 contractors are already using the commercially available systems to review private insurance claims. But, some modifications of the systems will be needed to modify the program to match HCFA billing practices. And, the contractors will want to review all of the systems that are available that meet HCFA's criteria and go through the appropriate procurement practices.

Second, the legislation provides that the Secretary of Health and Human Services may keep information about the system confidential. If that is not done, detailed information about the system could be used, to some degree, to get around the system's safeguards. The legislation also provides that the proprietary information about the systems are not to be released. If it became available, the companies that created it might lose a significant part of their investment since other companies could acquire the technical details of the systems. The Secretary is expected to release appropriate information about the system which is in the public interest.

It is important to use commercially available systems because we already know they work and we can put them into place relatively quickly with minor modifications. We save time which results in real savings and we avoid what might be a large development cost if HCFA tried to create their own system. Another advantage of commercial systems is that they will be continually improved as the private development companies work to further improve their systems to acquire a larger share of the private marketplace.

Third, the Secretary shall order a review of all of the existing regulations and guidelines governing Medicare payment policies and billing code abuse to see what modifications might be appropriate to maximize the benefits of the computer checking systems and avoiding improper payments.
