Mr. President, I want to make a brief statement so all my colleagues understand the situation. We were supposed to start this amendment at 9:45. I have been prepared since last night. I was here on the floor at 9:30 this morning and have been here straight through, but I do feel it crucial that the chairman of the committee be here because he and I are trying to work out this amendment.

I think it very important that he hears my arguments. It is a very straightforward amendment that deals with extending the statute of limitations to give our law enforcement people more of a chance to go after and arrest and convict those who would violate some very serious laws that are on our books.

I have brought this amendment to the Senate floor because of Oklahoma City, and I feel it is so important that I have sent a message through the Republican leadership that I will be ready [[Page S7719]] to go the moment that Senator Hatch returns to the floor. He is in a hearing. One of the problems around here is that we have to be in so many places at once.

But I do think it is the right thing for this bill, for the American people that the chairman of the committee be here when I offer this amendment. I do not think it should be contentious, but it may be contentious, and I want to make sure we have a fair debate. That is the reason for the delay.

Mr. President, just a few moments ago, I explained to the Senate that I was awaiting the arrival of the chairman of the committee, the Senator from Utah, who is at a hearing at this time. The reason I was waiting for him is because he expressed some concern with my amendment and at the same time he expressed an interest in working the amendment out. Therefore, I thought it would save some time if he were present when I went through these arguments. But he has sent a message through the leadership that he would prefer if I lay this amendment down. So with the indulgence of the Senate, I will send the amendment to the desk.

Mr. President, what I plan to do is make the case for my amendment. I believe it is one that should receive the unanimous agreement of the Senate, both Democrats and Republicans alike. I hope that it will, and if there is still a problem when the chairman of the full committee arrives, I will indulge the Senate once again to repeat for him the reasons why I think this amendment is compelling.

The amendment I sent to the desk would extend the statute of limitations for violations of the National Firearms Act from 3 years to 5 years. In other words, it would add 2 years that law enforcement has to complete its case and put the villains away.

This change would equalize the period of limitations for the National Firearms Act with the vast majority of other Federal laws. I think that is the most important point I can make. This is really a conforming amendment. If you look at all the gun laws in the criminal law, they have a 5-year statute. This is an anomaly. We have a 3-year statute here.

So the amendment is fair. It would give prosecutors a badly needed tool. What is this tool? It is more time. It is more time to build their case against violent criminals and terrorists. I want to make a point here. We are not talking about a little game of cops and robbers. We are talking about terrorists and violent criminals who make bombs, who make sawed-off shotguns, who make silencers. That is what the National Firearms Act addresses, and that is why we need this 5-year statute of limitations.

I want to point out that this provision has been requested by the Justice Department. It was included in the administration's bill, and although the pending bill incorporates many of the administration's antiterrorism provisions, for whatever reason, this section was dropped out of the new bill. I think it is important to put it back in.

It is likely that when the investigation into the Oklahoma City bombing is completed, the suspects will be charged with illegally manufacturing a bomb. That crime is a violation of the National Firearms Act, and only the National Firearms Act.

We need to give law enforcement more time. There may be one person involved in the Oklahoma City tragedy, or there may be two. There may be 10 or 100. It is complicated to put the case together. We need to give law enforcement time.

The National Firearms Act, the act I am amending, governs some of the most important firearms offenses on the books. The NFA makes it a crime to make a fully automatic machine gun. That is a crime. It makes it a crime to possess a sawed-off shotgun, or to make a homemade silencer.

Now, surely those offenses are serious and complex enough to merit a 5-year statute. In addition, it covers the making of a destructive device, or a bomb. So we have the fully automatic machine gun, a sawed- off shotgun, a homemade silencer, and an incendiary device, or a bomb.

The NFA, the National Firearms Act which I am amending, is the act which deals with homemade fertilizer bombs, Molotov cocktails. It is the only statute that deals with them. It has a 3-year statute of limitations instead of the 5-year. That means that any charges brought for violations of the NFA must be filed within 3 years of the crime.

To show how important this difference is, I urge my colleagues to consider this: If a terrorist builds a bomb in 1995, but Federal prosecutors are unable to gather enough evidence until 1999, they cannot file those charges. The statute of limitations begins running from the time the bomb is made. I think this is important. For the crime of illegal making a bomb, the statutes of limitations runs from the time the bomb is made -- not the date the bomb was used.

Theoretically, we could have a terrorist group make a bomb, store it for 2 or 3 years, use it, but by then the statute would have expired. So we could not get the perpetrators. That is why this amendment is so important. It is not just a technical change. It is a very substantive change. It needs to be included in this bill.

These investigations are complicated. Yesterday, we were all moved to see the families from Oklahoma City asking Members to make this bill the law of the land in the name of the people who died. I want to see that happen. I want to see that happen. I also want to make sure that the people who perpetrated the crime are caught -- each and every one of them.

This investigation may lead in 3,000 different directions. We have heard there are thousands of leads. We should get every last individual who participated in this vicious crime.

I have put on Senators' desks the names of 45 police chiefs who urge support for the Boxer amendment. These police chiefs are from all over the country, from Oklahoma City to the [[Page S7720]] east coast, the West, the South, the North. They are unanimous in this. They need this time. They need this tool.

It could take years to unravel complex criminal conspiracies. Law enforcement should not be faced with an unwise artificial deadline to file charges. I want to say again, this is not an academic debate. I have been told by Federal investigators that the 3-year statute of limitations for the National Firearms Act has stopped actual criminal investigations. Indictments that would have been issued in actual explosive cases were not issued because of the NFA's short statute of limitations. Criminals could go free because the statute of limitations is only 3 instead of the usual 5.

The short statute of limitations is truly an anomaly in Federal law. For example, possessing or manufacturing an assault weapon in violation of the ban passed last year has a 5-year statute of limitations, not a 3-year statute of limitations. Manufacturing cop killer bullets has a 5-year statute of limitations, not a 3-year statute. Manufacturing an undetectable firearm has a 5-year statute of limitations. However, in the National Firearms Act, unless we pass the Boxer amendment, we have a 3-year statute of limitations for crimes like making bombs, silencers, sawed-off shotguns.

No one can explain to me why it makes sense to have a 5-year statute on carrying an assault weapon or manufacturing an assault weapon and only a 3-year statute for a sawed-off shotgun or a bomb. It makes no sense. There is no reason for it.

The Boxer amendment addresses the problem simply. I hope and hope that we can all reach agreement on this and not have to argue about it. It is common sense to match the statutes of limitations for the vast majority of Federal criminal laws. We need a level playing field so Federal law enforcement can prosecute violent criminals more effectively.

Again, I want to stress that this change was requested by the Justice Department and the Treasury Department, and the administration supports this. This is a bill where we see bipartisan support. We have Senator Dole, Senator Daschle, and the President of the United States speaking in one voice that we must pass this bill.

Mr. President, this amendment should be adopted. It is fair. It levels the playing field for firearms crimes. It is needed. It is not this Senator who says it is needed; it is the people who do the work, the difficult law enforcement work, tracking down these leads, these thousands of leads, have asked for this additional tool, these additional 2 years.

Mr. President, Congress talks a lot about getting tough on crime. There is not one of us I have not heard make a speech about, "Let's crack down." There is a difference between talking about getting tough on crime and being tough on crime by giving law enforcement the tools that they need. This does not cost us any money. They are not asking for more equipment. They are not asking for bigger office space or another computer system. They are asking for time to track down these leads.

We are in a new phase now, unfortunately, in our country. Who ever dreamed that we would have people within America who would build a device, a bomb, and kill innocent people and innocent children; turn on the Government of, by, and for the people, and somehow twist it around as if it was not America?

I have no other comments at this time. I have not organized a team of speakers because, frankly, I think this amendment is eloquent in its simplicity and very clear in its common sense. I hope we will have bipartisan support for the Boxer amendment, and at this time I yield the floor and reserve my right to regain the floor when the chairman of the Judiciary Committee makes it here to the floor. I understand he is tied up in a committee. We expect him here I think at the top of the hour, and I look forward to debating with him on this amendment if in fact he feels it is not appropriate.

But I hope against hope that he will in fact embrace this amendment and we can once again show the Nation we are united across party lines in our desire to go after those terrorists and give law enforcement the tools they need to make sure justice reigns in this great Nation of ours.

Mr. President, as we proceed on this antiterrorism bill, I would like to discuss for a moment one provision of the bill which I believe is very noncontroversial but I think is very significant, and that is the provision of the bill that concerns the increased help, the increased assistance that we are going to give to local law enforcement in regard to giving them the tools they need to fight back, and that is the area of technology. This is one of the essential tools as we fight against terrorism.

The bill we are discussing today strengthens the ability of local law enforcement officers to use high technology to combat terrorism and, frankly, to combat all sorts of crime. It provides for the expenditure of $500 million over the next 3 years to develop and upgrade some very important information systems. These systems provide ready access to criminal histories, fingerprints, DNA, and ballistic information.

The terrorism bill will also help local law enforcement agencies connect into these data bases. A data base in Washington, DC, will not do much good if the local communities, the tens of thousands of local law enforcement agencies that are spread throughout this country, cannot access that information. Let us make no mistake about it, this is a very important component of this legislation, just as it has always been a very important component of our fight against crime.

Last Saturday's Washington Post provided a case in point. It contains a detailed description of how the Oklahoma City bombing suspects were tracked down. Every step of the way, the suspects left a physical trail of evidence that could be fed into the FBI's computer database. The FBI, according to this story, has set up a very sophisticated computer system to put all kinds of information in, some relevant and some not relevant -- you never know until it is put in. You try to make the match and pull it back up and use it. But according to this story, there are now at least 38 million bytes of information just in this database on just this one crime alone, the Oklahoma City bombing.

There were 12,800 pieces of evidence collected in Oklahoma City, almost 13,000 pieces of evidence. The FBI computers are being used to analyze all this evidence. I have already told my colleagues the story of how the apprehension of the key Oklahoma suspect came about. It is truly a compelling story. An Oklahoma City detective found a piece of tattered metal at the crime scene. On this piece of metal, he found a vehicle identification number, or a VIN number -- one little piece of evidence. He fed this VIN number into the National Insurance Crime Bureau. In a matter of seconds, the bombing truck was identified.

Meanwhile, an Oklahoma State trooper had pulled over the fleeing suspect for driving without a license plate. The trooper had no idea at that time the person he pulled over was a suspect in a major crime, but he called the National Crime Information Center to ask for some data on the suspicious motorist, and when he tapped into the system, that left a fingerprint into the system. In a moment, we will see the importance of that.

Later, when the FBI fed the name Timothy McVeigh into their computers, the computer informed them, because of this fingerprint that had been placed into the system, of his arrest on these unrelated charges. Thanks to this technological edge, the FBI was able to find out an obscure arrestee was in fact America's most wanted criminal suspect.

Another story which was in last Friday's paper shows again the importance of technology. On May 28, a North Carolina State trooper arrested a motorist for speeding. Using established procedure, the trooper ran the motorist's name in the North Carolina State computer databank. The trooper did not run the motorist's name in the national database. That was apparently the procedure in the State at that time -- just to run it in the State database, but not the national base. The motorist's name did not show up in the State databank. If the trooper had run the motorist's name in the national databank, he would have discovered the driver was wanted for the shooting of two Washington, DC, police officers and the attempted murder of his girlfriend. Eleven hours after he was arrested for speeding in North Carolina and released, the suspect killed an FBI agent in a shootout in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area.

My purpose in telling the story is not to put blame on anyone, not to be judgmental, but again to point out how very, very important it is that these databases be used and how they can in fact not only solve crime but how they can save lives.

Mr. President, as a result of this incident, North Carolina has taken, to use the phrase, the "worthy step" of encouraging its troopers to run the names of all out-of-State suspects in the national computer. You never know. It certainly does not hurt to ask.

Last month I introduced a comprehensive crime bill, and one of the key elements of my proposed legislation was a renewed focus on crimefighting technology on making sure that the local crimefighters are in fact plugged into a truly all-inspiring national database. Technology is already a proven tool in the fight against terrorism. One of the suspects in the World Trade Center bombing was tracked down -- listen to this -- because he left a DNA sample in the saliva he left when he sealed an envelope containing a letter to the New York Times. In that letter he claimed responsibility on behalf of his terrorist group. But unknown to him, he left indelible proof of his own identity in the DNA. Mr. President, we have the tools to win this fight. Let us use them.

I want to thank Senator Dole and Senator Hatch, two individuals who have worked on this bill, for the job that they have done, and for including my provision that I wrote and put in the crime bill -- taking that section and putting it in this antiterrorism bill because it has a lot to do with solving the problem of terrorism in this country and has a lot to do with this technology in solving all crimes.

It would be a crime -- if I could use the term -- if we did not make sure that every law enforcement agency in this country was able to tap into this national database. It would be wrong if for a relatively small amount of money we did not make sure that not only did we tap into the information and pull it back out but that we could get information from every law enforcement agency in the country.

Joe Biden
Mr. President, let me say to my friend from Ohio that I applaud his efforts. As he knows, in the crime bill that we passed we provided $100 million for just these purposes. As a matter of fact, it has been over a decade ago that I initiated an effort in the first crime bill introduced to get the NCIC up to speed to actually make it work. We received some considerable resistance then interestingly enough from the very left and the very right, the right because, as the Presiding Officer notes, the right is always concerned about anyone when anything has to do with Government having power, and the left because they are concerned about the Government having power. So it was stalled for a while in the so-called Biden crime bill which passed out of here.

I wanted that number to be higher out of the trust fund. The most we could get any agreement on was $100 million. I do not quibble with the notion that we could effectively spend more money.

The Senator may recall, because he was in the House at the time, that the local authorities thought they could get by with the $100 million as long as the FBI was essentially going to be the purchasing agent for them. What we do not want to have happen is a little police department in central Ohio or southern Delaware -- they may be the very people who pick up the McVeigh's of the world -- and we do not want them to be in the position where in order for them to purchase this equipment and some of the more automated fingerprinting capability, the NCIC, the blood and saliva DNA capability, we do not want them to be out there since they are purchasing a very small quantity of whatever it is that is being purchased having to pay considerably more than the police department in Columbus, or New York, or Wilmington, DE, or Philadelphia has to pay. But as it turns out they have concluded that they need more help.

Again, I look forward to working with my friend from Ohio on this issue as the continuation of an effort that he supported when he was in the House as well. He is not new to this. He knows this area as well as anyone does.

One of the things at some point -- I will not take the time now because the distinguished Senator from California who has been waiting since 9:30 to go with her amendment is ready to go now that the chairman of the committee is here. We will have a long day today. Maybe the Senator and I, as we say, can repair to the cloakroom. I would like to talk about his formula which he has built in here which is the distribution based strictly on population which seems at odds with the notion that we acknowledge that these little police departments, and smaller areas in population, also in a strange way need the help more than even the large police departments.

So I acknowledge at the front end the parochial interest in that Delaware is a small State and under the formula would be in a disadvantageous position for this additional funding. I do not expect the Senator to change his formula. I would like to make my case to him since this is esoteric.

If the Senator will yield for a moment, let me congratulate the Senator from Delaware because he really has been a leader in this area. I had the opportunity about 2 months ago to go to the FBI and look to see exactly where all of these systems were. It is amazing the progress that they have made. In the last several crime bills there has been systems in there, and I know particularly that the Senator from Delaware has been a prime leader in this area. Frankly, what the FBI tells me is that they are moving along very, very well. The background for my writing this section was frankly what the FBI told me, and also what local law enforcement told me. That was, look, I say we are moving along very, very well, quite frankly thanks to what the Congress has done. A significant amount of money Congress has put in.

But they said, "Senator, let us tell you the one concern we have; that is, our database is only as good as the information we get. Our concern is that some of these small departments -- which the Senator from Delaware is referring to -- will not have the resources. They will not have the ability to tap in." So I look forward to working with the Senator from Delaware in regard to the formula. Our idea, frankly, is to make sure that every police officer in the country -- some way, either through his or her own department or through a consortium or through the departments going together -- has the ability to put that information into the computer and to get it back out. Frankly, my only interest is making it work. So, if we can come up with a formula that works better to do that, I am more than happy to work with the Senator to do that.

Mr. President, that is why I rose to speak to this to divert slightly from the amendment process. I am not being so solicitous. I know of the Senator's interest, knowledge, and genuine concern about this. One thing that he did not mention that he has in the past, but I think it is worth noting here, is this information also has the ancillary benefit of saving police officers' lives. The Presiding Officer knows that in his State of Pennsylvania he has had a rough year already with loss of police officers' lives. It has not been a good year. The start has not been a good one.

It is very, very, very practical information when that trooper pulls up behind an automobile. If he has the system and equipment in his automobile and the database is real, he literally can, before he gets out of the car, punch in and find out if that automobile is not only stolen but where and when and how.

He also has the capability, if we give him the capability and if the States step up to the ball, of using this portable, automatic fingerprinting operation where they can literally have a driver come up into their automobile -- what the average citizen would think is a portable fingerprinting machine -- to actually have that person get out of the car, walk up, stick their thumb or forefinger in this machine in the automobile, and instantly get a readout as to whether or not the license that they are carrying comports with their identity. This not only makes a lot of sense in terms of tracking and using it as a device to solve crimes, but it also has the immediate benefit of literally saving lives of police officers. As a former prosecutor, the Senator from Ohio knows this. In my discussion with police -- and, as you know, the head of the FOP and a number of leading members of the FOP are from the home State of the Senator from Ohio -- they know of his work and his interest in this area.

So I compliment him on his initiative and thank him for his willingness to speak with me about the formula. With that, unless the Senator from Ohio wishes to say anything else, I see the distinguished Senator from California is on her feet and is ready to go with her amendment, I think, or is she?

I am absolutely ready to go with the amendment. My friend, the good Senator from Ohio, has been with me here since 9:30 this morning. I was ready to go at that time. I did lay down my amendment. As my friend from Delaware knows, there is some concern on the other side, although I think it is not all that widely based, that we should narrow the scope of my amendment. It is not my intention to do that.

I am ready to vote on my amendment right now. I say to my friend from Delaware, I would greatly appreciate his views on my amendment because I have expressed mine. If I can have some time at this point, I can summarize in 5 minutes and then I would love to have my friend from Delaware react to the amendment and perhaps express his view as to whether it is a commonsense amendment.

Mr. President, if the Senator will yield for a moment, I am anxious to do that. I sincerely hope she does not amend her amendment. I will, in time, at an appropriate time, explain why I hope that is not the case. I am of the view that if Senators listen to this debate or this discussion, I think it is very, very difficult to make a case why the exception being sought should be granted. I will yield the floor back to the Senator, have her make her case, and I am prepared and anxious to speak to her amendment.

Thank you very much, Mr. President. About one-half hour ago, I laid down my amendment which would really, I think, add a lot of common sense to our gun laws, because we seem to have two sets of statutes of limitations.

Generally, gun laws and criminal laws have a 5-year statute of limitations, except for the National Firearms Act, which has a 3-year statute, which means that the police have to complete their work on sometimes very complicated cases, in 3 years.

Now, what are these cases? And this is where I think Senators ought to listen. There are only three cases: The making of a bomb, such as the bomb that was made in Oklahoma City, is only covered in the National Firearms Act. So we have to go after these terrorists. This is the place. Law enforcement is asking us for 5 years, not the 3 that they have. That is one case.

The other case is the making of a sawed-off shotgun. The only place where that crime is covered is in this law, and we think there ought to be a 5-year statute.

So what we are suggesting is that those three areas -- silencers, sawed-off shotguns, and bombs -- ought to be covered by the same statute of limitations as exists in, for example, the assault weapon ban, cop- killer bullets, and all criminal laws, which basically have a 5-year statute.

I see that the distinguished majority leader is on the floor. I was hopeful that maybe that indicated we could move this along by simply accepting it because it is, in fact, an amendment that really comes to this floor via law enforcement.

On Senators' desks I have the names of 45 police chiefs who urge support for the Boxer amendment. These police chiefs are from California; Oregon; Washington State; Florida; New Jersey; Arizona; Pennsylvania; Roanoke, VA; Connecticut; Indiana; Illinois; New York; Massachusetts; Maryland; Arkansas; Kentucky; South Carolina; Georgia; Missouri; Alabama, and I do not know whether I mentioned Oklahoma City. The Oklahoma City chief of police wants us to adopt the Boxer amendment.

Barbara Boxer
So, Mr. President, the Boxer amendment is a propolice amendment described that way by the Fraternal Order of Police and 45 police chiefs in this country who are saying to the U.S. Senate: "Please pass this antiterrorism bill, but give us the tools we need." And here is one tool that does not cost any money, Mr. President. What we are giving the law enforcement authorities is time, time to follow the thousands of leads, time to put together the pieces of the puzzle. I really hope we can have bipartisan support for this amendment in its entirety. The police chiefs are not just supporting part of the Boxer amendment, they are supporting the entire Boxer amendment, and I hope we can come together and move on, because as I watched the families of the victims of Oklahoma yesterday begging us to move forward a bill that would help bring these evildoers to justice, it certainly occurred to me that it would be tragic if the statute of limitations ran out.

One thing we have to remember, the statute starts running when the bomb is completed. So if a terrorist builds a bomb and stores that bomb for a year or 2 before using it, we may be down to a year for the police to put together all the leads.

Mr. President, as part of the ongoing debate, not on the amendment, I wanted to make a brief statement on habeas corpus because on May 25, President Clinton wrote me urging habeas corpus reform be excluded, that means excluded from the antiterrorism bill pending before the Senate.

The President apparently had a change of heart. Last night on the Larry King Show, the President reversed his position, endorsing the inclusion of habeas reform in the antiterrorism bill. The President said:

I welcome the President's remarks. And I am delighted that he has finally come around to our position that, of all the antiterrorism initiatives now before the Senate, the one that bears most directly on the Oklahoma City tragedy is habeas corpus reform.

Yesterday, the families of some of the victims of the Oklahoma City bombing traveled all the way to Washington to tell their elected representatives that habeas reform is an essential ingredient of any serious antiterrorism plan. The families understand, as we do, that if we really want justice that is "swift, certain and severe," then we must put an end to the endless appeals and delays that have done so much to weaken public confidence in our criminal justice system. We must have habeas corpus reform now.

Now, if we are going to suggest that the Democrats ought to cooperate, then we will suggest that Republicans ought to cooperate, too. So I ask my colleagues on this side of the aisle, or anybody who may be listening in their offices, if you have amendments, please let us know before noon. We would like to find out by noon on this side of the aisle how many amendments we have, serious amendments, and how many are going to be called up. Then we can go to the distinguished Senator from Delaware and say we have x number of amendments that will take x amount of hours. We hope to get time agreements so we can complete action on the bill later today.

Mr. President, let me respond to the question posed to me by the Senator from California, Senator Boxer. There are a couple of things I have observed in the years of working with Senator Boxer, and that is when she thinks she is right, there is nothing that slows her up. I mean nothing. Almost without exception, in my dealings with her and the matters we have worked on, she has a commonsense approach to these things that is, quite frankly, sometimes around this place is not factored in. If she had stood up today on the floor of the Senate and said, you know, my colleagues in the Senate, the statute of limitations for rape is 3 years. Yet, the statute of limitations for robbery is 5 years, and what I want to do is I want to increase the statute of limitations for rape from 3 to 5 years, I imagine there would be a chorus of Members in the Senate on both side standing up and saying, bravo, right.

My goodness, why would we have a serious crime like rape be a statute that was only 3 years and yet a less serious crime like assault be a 5- year statute of limitations. Because I want to make it clear -- and I know all my colleagues and everybody on the floor here who has dealt in this area or are accomplished lawyers in their own right know that -- let us keep in mind what the rationale for the statute of limitations is. The rationale is, the more serious the crime, the more we are committed to finding the perpetrator, and ofttimes that means we need more time.

A second factor that goes into this is that some crimes are more difficult to solve than others because the evidence that is needed to solve the crime sometimes takes a long time to track down.

Now, the fact of the matter is that I do not think this has anything to do with gun control. It happens to be that we are talking about a Firearms Act that affects guns, but it really does not matter. It has everything to do with equity, and it has everything to do with giving the victim and the Government a chance to find the person who did the thing that we think is a very bad thing.

For example, if someone is out there violating the Firearms Act with a machine gun, then we have as a policy, as a nation, for the past several decades said that is a very bad thing. Yet, there is a 3-year statute of limitations for that. Or if we go out and say we do not want people using chemical weapons or making explosives that can do great damage, we said in the first instance that is a bad thing to do. It is unhealthy for Americans, for people to be making these devices or putting silencers on their guns. Why do people put a silencer on a gun? Is it because they are target practicing in their basement and they do not want to disturb the folks on the second floor? Or is it because they do not want the deer to hear the bullet coming? Why do you use silencers? You use a silencer to avoid detection. And so if someone is out there violating the Firearms Act with a silencer or machinegun or building a bomb, it seems to me, just on the face of it, that we should give the Government and the victims enough time out there as we give somebody if they are assaulted. My Lord, if someone is assaulted, the case stays open for 5 years. Yet, if someone violates what we all say is a serious problem, we are saying 3 years.

Now, look, I know that some of my friends on both sides of the aisle are a little concerned about this because I know that it says "guns and firearms," and when you say that around here, that sets off bells and whistles and so on. But I respectfully suggest that this is totally consistent -- although I have not spoken to the national NRA, I have State. I keep in contact with them. As I said yesterday, in my State, the NRA are upstanding citizens. The leader in my State is a member of the ACLU and the NRA and is a practicing lawyer in town. The No. 2 guy in my State in the NRA is a former captain in a police department in Dover, DE. These guys are not wackos or nuts; they are serious citizens.

Now, I have not spoken to them about this, but I have spoken to them and the national NRA about how we should be dealing with guns and gun offenses. What do they always say to us? They say, look, do not outlaw the gun, increase the penalty. So Senator Gramm comes to the floor all the time and makes a logical, coherent argument. He says, hey, do not do away with assault weapons, but if you have anybody using one, violating the law in its use, nail them. Minimum mandatory sentences, minimum mandatory imprisonment.

We have decided as a matter of law under the Firearms Act that it is a bad thing to go around putting silencers on the end of revolvers, or rifles for that matter. We decided that it is a bad thing to tote around a machinegun. We decided that. I do not hear any gun organization saying, by the way, legalize the sale of machineguns again. I do not hear anybody saying silencers are something we should be using. So I am a little surprised that there is any opposition to the initiative of my friend from California. The one thing she is probably -- I will speak only of the Democratic side, so I do not implicate any of my Republican friends. She is among the four or five most successful legislators. She knows how to get things done. I assume that it comes from her 10 years of experience in the House. I think she is as surprised as I am that this may be resisted, because I cannot figure out why it would be. It is consistent with what -- I do not want to put a negative spin on it -- the gun proponents say is the way we should handle the issue of firearms in America. It is consistent. It relates to penalties, not outlawing them. And it is totally consistent with the way in which we decide under title 18 to deal with the vast majority of crimes.

Now, look, this increases from 3 to 5 years the statute of limitations for the most serious weapons offenses, specifically those under the National Firearms Act. In doing so, this amendment brings the statute of limitations into line with the vast majority of Federal offenses which have to do with guns and do not have to do with guns. Generally, the statute of limitations is a period which the Government has following the crime to bring an indictment under Federal law. All noncapital crimes are subject to a limitation. The National Firearms Act covers the most dangerous weapons: machineguns, sawed-off shotguns, silencers, and destructive devices which include any explosive or incendiary or poison gas, A, bomb, B, grenade, C, rocket having a propellant of more than four ounces, D, missiles having explosive or incendiary charges of more than one-quarter of an ounce, and E, a mine.

You know, these are not playthings we are talking about. These are serious offenses. Again, I do not know anybody, whether they are the NRA -- and I stand to be corrected by anybody else -- who says, by the way, you should not outlaw sawed-off shotguns, machineguns, and rockets having a propellant and the charges, grenades, bombs, incendiary charges of more than one-quarter ounce, and missiles.

So all the Senator is asking for is what the police are asking for. It defies logic to give offenders a break by limiting the statute of limitations to only 3 years. The statute of limitations in other Federal crimes is that, as has been pointed out by the Senator from California, a vast majority of those crimes already are 5 years. Let me give you a few examples. Crimes with a 5-year statute of limitations include assault, 18 United States Code section 111; kidnapping, 18 United States Code section 1201; bank robbery, 18 United States Code section 2113; car robbery, 18 United States Code section 2119; embezzlement, 18 United States Code section 641.

I also point out that the statute of limitations is also 5 years for illegally importing lottery tickets, impersonating a Federal employee, unlawfully shipping, transporting, receiving, possessing, selling, distributing, or purchasing contraband cigarettes, counterfeiting, forging, or using any counterfeited or forged postal or revenue stamp of any foreign government, unauthorized use of the character Smokey the Bear. It is a misdemeanor, but it is a 5-year statute of limitations. Unauthorized use of the character Woodsy Owl. That is a 5-year statute of limitations.

Now, look, if we are going to give the Government 5 years to track down the guy who impersonates or uses Woodsy the Owl, why in the devil would we not give 5 years to the Federal Bureau of Investigation to track down somebody who has violated the most serious weapons offenses that nobody I know of is suggesting we do away with?

If the Senator will yield, I think this is such a crucial point because if people were unhappy with the 5-year statute of limitations, I would assume there could be an amendment to roll it back to 3. All we are saying is that it is an anomaly here that three or four firearms laws do not match up with the vast majority. I think my friend has gotten it exactly right, as usual.

If I might just say to my friend, I do not know whether he was aware of this, but there was an article in the New York Times on another matter that relates to my friend's work here. And that is that under the Violence Against Women Act, the first arrest was made, and this is a man who crossed State lines to beat his wife. It is a matter of the work of my friend, Senator Biden, who, for -- I do not know how long -- 6 years, fought to get the Violence Against Women Act into law. Proudly, I was the House author when I was there in the House and lived to see the day when it became law here in the Senate.

The reason I bring that up is my friend is a pragmatist. He sees a problem and he solves it. He sticks with it. But my friend from Delaware, the ranking member on the Judiciary Committee, is also somebody who works beautifully with the other side. Senator Hatch worked with him on the Violence Against Women Act, and, in the end, we had everybody together. When my friend, Senator Biden, stands on this floor and says he does not understand why there is a problem with this on the other side, I think that carries a lot of weight.

It may be that the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, my friend from Utah, may wish to lay this aside. We will take a look at it. I certainly hope that the remarks of the Senator from Delaware will be heard by both sides of the aisle, because this is a commonsense amendment. We should not be wasting a lot of time. We should do this in a bipartisan way.

Frankly, it directly relates to Oklahoma City. It directly relates. If we find out that those terrorists made that bomb a year earlier, it would bring the statute down to 2 years, I say to my friend.

A person convicted, as I indicated earlier, of impersonating a Federal employee can get up to a 3-year sentence, while a person convicted under the National Firearms Act can receive up to 10 years in prison. [[Page S7728]] One has to wonder why a statute of limitations is shorter for the great offense and longer for the shorter offense. It does not seem to make sense.

For instance, I think it is important to answer questions. How many cases in the past decade have failed to be prosecuted because of the statute of limitations for violation of the firearms provisions? What were the reasons for the failure to prosecute the alleged NFA firearms violations within the 3-year statute of limitations? How many NFA firearms violators have been prosecuted in the last decade? How many NFA firearms charges were dropped or reduced by plea bargaining? Has the BATF stated in congressional testimony, or anywhere, that the 3- year statute of limitations for firearms violations has been a significant problem? Out of all the cases prosecuted for NFA firearms violations in the last 5 years, what is the percentage of the convictions obtained?

Joe Biden
Whether or not 40 percent of the American people are afraid of their Government, the idea is that who they should be afraid of is anybody walking around with a bomb, grenade, rocket launcher, or a silencer on their gun, or a machine gun. That is who they should be afraid of. Whether there have been prosecutions or not is totally unrelated to whether or not the statute of limitations should be 3 or 5 years. And the notion of dangling over their head the prospect of prosecution -- I have zero sympathy for anyone, whether they are a Mafia don, whether they are a rapist, or whether they are someone walking around with a rocket-propelled device, I could give a darn about their concern, if they violate the law. The question is did they violate it or did they not? They will have a chance to prove it in court. The police should have a chance to bring them to court.

Mr. President, I do not disagree with Senator Biden. When you have terrorists and bomb throwers and rocket launchers and things like that -- I do not have any sympathy for them either. But both he and I have been in court before as practicing attorneys where the Federal Government has brought unjust actions against people and dangled them for the full extent of the statute of limitations. We won those cases, but it was not easy and it ruined lives in the process. I have seen that happen. That is what I am concerned about and that is what I think many people are concerned about.

I am not against extending statutes of limitations when they are justified. Maybe in this case they are. I may very well consider voting for this amendment or accepting it. But I want to make sure everybody understands it is not quite as simple as we sometimes paint it on the floor, when 40 percent of the people in this country are afraid of their Government. One reason is because they have seen some unjust prosecutions, criminal prosecutions, that is. That is a matter of concern to me and I think it is to everybody who is worried about what people think in this country.

The logic of the argument of my friend from Utah would be to reduce the statute of limitations for embezzlement from 5 to 3 years, reduce the statute of limitations for assault from 5 to 3 years, to reduce the statute of limitations for most crimes from 5 to 3 years. I would stand ready to debate him if he wishes to do that.

Mr. President, we all appreciate the FBI's fine job in investigating the Oklahoma City bombing and tracking down the perpetrators. But all the resources that we vote for the FBI, and all the work that the Marshals Services performs to protect people in Federal buildings, are meaningless if the courts will not put terrorists and other criminals in jail for a long time. And those resources also will be wasted if the Justice Department fails to punish those who are guilty.

The bill before us will strengthen Federal efforts against terrorism. However, the American people should know that we are acting thoughtfully, and are not overreacting. For instance, the bill before us reflects a conscious decision not to pass the administration's proposals to permit roving telephone wiretaps and to significantly increase the role of the military in domestic law enforcement. Before this administration asks for increased authority that could infringe the civil liberties of innocent citizens, it should exercise its already significant authority to punish terrorists.

President Clinton has stated that those who bomb Federal buildings are evil cowards. And he has said that it is wrong for terrorists to try to kill those who lawfully arrest them. Yet, the record of the use of the current authority of the President's Justice Department to fight terrorism fails to match the President's rhetoric.

Rodney Hamrick is a terrorist. He has been convicted of threatening the life of the President, manufacturing an incendiary device while in prison, and making bomb threats against Federal courthouses in Washington and in Elkins, WV. While facing prosecution for threatening to kill the judge who sentenced him, Hamrick built a bomb from materials available at the jail: A 9-volt battery, steel wires, and cigarette lighters. He wrapped the bomb in aluminum and put it in an envelope between a pad and a piece of cardboard. The bomb was designed to detonate when the pad was removed from the envelope. If fully effective, the bomb would have produced a 1000-degree fireball up to 3 feet in diameter.

Hamrick mailed the bomb to the Federal building where the U.S. attorney responsible for prosecuting him worked. When the U.S. attorney opened the envelope, the bomb fortunately did not explode. The U.S. attorney, recognizing the homemade bomb, fled his office. The Marshals Service, FBI, and ATF were called and an Army bomb disposal expert was flow to the scene. He ordered the evacuation of the entire wing of the Federal building. While wearing a full-body kevlar bomb suit, he dismantled the bomb at a distance of 30 feet and a flight of stairs away. Hamrick was convicted of a number of [[Page S7730]] charges related to using a deadly or dangerous weapon and destructive device in perpetrating his attempted murder of a Federal official.

On appeal, a three-judge panel of the fourth circuit held that a dysfunctional bomb was neither a "dangerous or deadly weapon" nor a "destructive device." The court made this ruling despite a unanimous 1986 Supreme Court decision in a bank robbery case that an unloaded gun is a "dangerous or deadly weapon." While the Supreme Court had held that a gun is an article that is typically and characteristically dangerous and instills fear in the average citizen, the panel rules that a dysfunctional bomb is not characteristically dangerous and a combination of wires and a lighter cannot instill fear. It overturned Hamrick's convictions on these counts.

When the Government loses a court case, the Solicitor General determines whether to appeal the decision. Here was a case where an evil coward had tried to bomb a Federal building and kill an important Federal official who had sought to prosecute a terrorist. The facts are extremely similar to the way the President described the Oklahoma City bombing. Additionally, a controlling Supreme Court decision suggested that the fourth circuit panel had decided the case incorrectly.

Nor did the Justice Department file a petition with the Supreme Court to hear the case. Instead, in an unusual move, the full fourth circuit decided on its own to rehear the case. The full court found that the bomb was a "dangerous or deadly weapon" and affirmed Hamrick's convictions.

Mr. President, a letter bomb mailed to a Federal building is a dangerous or deadly weapon and a destructive device. That is just common sense. But where was the administration when the decision was made to accept the overturning of the criminal charges against this terrorist? Where was the Justice Department, and the Attorney General? They need to be held accountable for a decision that shows insufficient regard for public safety.

And what message does the Justice Department's acquiescence send to Federal law enforcement officials on the line every day, or to Federal prosecutors? Before this administration starts talking tough on terrorism, and about how tough it will act in imposing burdens such as infiltration, roving wiretaps, and searches on law-abiding citizens, it should explain why it has failed to take steps to raise the heat on terrorists.

Consider how the ruling the Justice Department accepted would affect law enforcement. If the original panel decision were the law, bombs that could not operate would not be dangerous or deadly weapons or destructive devices. Now consider how this approach would have applied to the shockingly similar bombing of the Federal building in Oklahoma City.

Suppose that the bomber had been arrested for speeding while driving the Ryder truck on the way into Oklahoma City instead of driving the car on the way out. The police would have seen tons of fertilizer and fuel oil in the truck. But the bomber could not have been prosecuted for transporting a destructive device or possessing a deadly or dangerous weapon because the bomb was not yet rigged to explode.

Mr. President, even the defendant in the Hamrick case did not argue that the bomb was not a deadly or dangerous weapon in light of the Supreme Court decision. The Clinton administration was willing to accept a judicial decision that was softer on terrorism than the terrorist himself. The American people are owed an explanation, an apology, and proof that steps have been taken to ensure that the serious mistakes the Justice Department made in Mr. Hamrick's case will not be permitted to happen again. Otherwise, the Clinton administration will have a difficult time credibly fighting terrorism.

I support this legislation, which will strike a proper balance in habeas corpus and will restore the FBI to its pre-Clinton administration hiring levels. But another reason to support the bill is language in section 626, which, in light of the argument that the administration accepted in Hamrick, will clarify that a "deadly or dangerous weapon" includes "a weapon intended to cause death or danger but that fails to do so by reason of a defective or missing component." This language is truly a clarification. Section 111(b) of the Federal Criminal Code always covered assaults on Federal officers with deadly or dangerous weapons, even if by happenstance those weapons misfired, notwithstanding the Clinton administration's position in the Hamrick case. No defendant who has committed an assault on a Federal officer with a defective weapon may use this language to argue that such conduct was legal prior to the date of the passage of this bill. We merely want to prevent other courts from following the fourth circuit's original decision, and we want to prevent the administration from continuing to argue in future cases that a defective bomb is not a deadly or dangerous weapon. I commend Senators Dole and Hatch for including this language in their substitute amendment. And I hope that the bill sends a message to the administration to apply common sense to prosecute terrorists like Rodney Hamrick to the fullest extent of existing law.

Let me just mention, Mr. President, we need to look at what happens when we go after terrorists. As a former prosecutor, I feel that if somebody commits a crime, especially serious crimes like this, we ought to be able to have every possible way of going after that person. They ought to be prosecuted. They ought to be brought to justice. They ought to pay for their crime.

We saw in the continuing tragedy of the downing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, the United States Government had no authority to provide assistance or compensation to the victims of that heinous crime. It was the same thing with the victims of the Achille Lauro incident. There has been no authority in the law for the Department of Justice to respond to these victims through our crime victims programs. I think it is wrong, and it can be remedied. The amendment I am about to offer would do that.

We had a report to the Congress last summer from the Office for Victims of Crime at the U.S. Department of Justice that identified a related problem. Both the ABA and the State Department have commented on their concern. They said that crime victims' compensation benefits should be provided to U.S. citizens who have been victimized in another country.

If you are a U.S. citizen and you get hit during a terrorist attack in another country, because you are a U.S. citizen, you ought to at least have the benefit of programs that are already in place in this country. Our citizens are deserving of the same protection whether they are hit by terrorists in Washington, DC, or hit by terrorists in Beirut, Lebanon.

We have been shielded from much of the terrorism perpetrated abroad. We see buildings blown up, cars bombed, people shot, leaders assassinated in other parts of the world. Now we are witnessing similar incidents here at home. We see what happened at the World Trade Center in New York, we see assaults on the White House, the Oklahoma City situation.

The Victims of Terrorism Act would add to the Victims of Crime Act provisions for supplemental grants to States to provide emergency relief in the wake of a violent incident that might otherwise overwhelm a State. I look at the tremendous job the people of Oklahoma and the local and State authorities did, but they were overwhelmed. This is the time when they need help from all of us as citizens. Certainly, if something this terrible happened in my own State of Vermont, the sympathy would be there, and I know Vermonters well enough to know all Vermonters would rally, but there would be no way we could handle all the problems.

Mr. President, when the bomb exploded outside the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City last month, my thoughts and prayers and I suspect that those of all Americans turned immediately to the victims of this horrendous act. The terrorism legislation that has been introduced for our consideration, however, is silent with respect to victims of terrorism.

One of the continuing tragedies of the downing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, is that the United States Government had no authority to provide assistance or compensation to the victims of that heinous crime. Likewise, the U.S. victims of the Achille Lauro incident could not be given aid. There has simply been no authority in our law for the Department of Justice to respond to these victims through our crime victims' programs. This is wrong and will be remedied by this amendment.

It helped to organize a crisis response team of specially trained professionals who were dispatched within hours to the disaster. I know that the National Organization for Victims Assistance was critical in providing timely assistance to Oklahoma City victims and This amendment will allow them to do more. I want to thank the dedicated officials at the Department of Justice Office for Victims of Crime, John Stein of the National Organization for Victims Assistance, Dan Eddy of the National Association of Crime Victims Compensation Boards, and David Beatty of the National Victim Center for their help, counsel, and suggestions in connection with this amendment.

The Victims of Terrorism Act's supplemental grants to provide compensation and assistance to victims of terrorism and mass violence are funded through an emergency reserve established as part of the crime victims fund. I do not intend for this emergency reserve to be established at the expense of our States' ongoing compensation and assistance programs. Indeed, funds are not available for the reserve until the full annual compensation grants are funded and the crime victims fund has received in excess of 110 percent of the amount deposited in the previous year so that assistance programs will be adequately funded, as well.

The emergency reserve will also serve as a rainy day fund to supplement compensation and assistance grants to the States for years in which deposits to the crime victims fund are inadequate. There have been deep swings in the amount of funding deposited annually and, therefore, available for distribution. This emergency reserve will provide the Director with the means to even out what would otherwise be wide variations in annual grants and allow those providing these critical services some additional confidence that funding will be available even following a year of poor deposits.

The emergency reserve's ceiling of $50 million is intended to allow confidence and the vital resources needed to take action to supplement grants in down years. In order to serve its intended purposes, the emergency reserve and, for that matter, the entire crime victims fund must be accorded respect and security. This is a trust fund that is dedicated to critical needs.

I hope through the provisions of this act to provide some greater certainty to our State and local victim's assistance programs so that they can know that our commitment to victims programming will not wax and wane with events. Accordingly, the amendment would allow grants to be made for a 3-year cycle of programming, rather than the year of award plus one, which is the limit contained in current law. This change reflects the recommendation of the Office for Victims of Crime contained in its June 1994 report to Congress.

I know, for instance, that, in Vermont, Lori Hayes and Pat Hayes at the Vermont Center for Crime Victims Services; Judy Rex and the Vermont Network Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse; Karen Bradley from the Vermont Center for Prevention and Treatment of Sexual Abuse; and others, provide tremendous service under difficult conditions. Such dedicated individuals and organizations will be greatly aided by increasing their programming cycle by even 1 year. Three years has been a standard that has worked well in other settings.

Unfortunately, even with the recently announced decreases in violent crime, it is certain that we will have too many crime victims who need assistance in the years ahead. While we have made progress over the last 15 years in recognizing crime victims' rights and providing much- needed assistance, we still have more to do. It is in recognition of these needs and the additional authorities and scope being added to the Victims of Crime Act by this Victims of Terrorism Act that I include a provision to raise the base amount for small States from $200,000 to $500,000 for their assistance programs. This is funding that will be put to good use.

In 1984 when we established the crime victims fund to provide Federal assistance to State and local victims compensation and assistance efforts, we funded it with fines, penalties, and assessments from those convicted of Federal crime. The level of required contribution was set low; 10 years have past and it is high time to adjust the assessments.

In connection with these provisions, I acknowledge the work of our colleague, the senior Senator from Arizona [Mr. McCain].

He deserves much credit for his ongoing efforts on behalf of crime victims.

Patrick Leahy
I look forward to our continuing to cooperate in additional efforts on behalf of victims of crime, terrorism, and mass destruction. We have much to do if we are to improve collections for the crime victims fund and if we are to augment the critical resources needed by our victims compensation and assistance programs. This is an amendment that will help provide additional resources for meeting critical needs.
