I can report to my colleagues in the Senate that the House Judiciary Committee is also at hard work on this issue -- they have a markup scheduled for tomorrow -- so I think it is very possible, indeed highly probable, that we will send a bill to the President before adjournment. That time cannot come soon enough.

Orrin Hatch

Two weeks ago, I testified before the House Judiciary's Subcommittee on Crime, which held a hearing on the meth epidemic. I was encouraged at that hearing by the efforts of Chairman McCollum and Representatives Heineman, Schumer and Fazio, who are working with us to get a bill we can all endorse.

Orrin Hatch

We developed this bill in close consultation with the Department of Justice and the Drug Enforcement Administration. Indeed, General McCaffrey, Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, has testified before the Judiciary Committee that he supports our legislation, so I am certain that the President will sign the bill once the House completes it work on this measure.

Frankly, it is time for this administration to show that the war against drugs is a top national priority. A responsibility of those in leadership positions is to give first attention to the most important problems and this is certainly one.

Seizures or illegal meth labs are up all over the country and even in my home State of Utah. Illicit lab seizures in Utah increased from 13 in 1994 to 56 in 1995. In 1996, there have already have been 40 meth lab seizures in my State.

In a careful balance, S. 1965 also reduces single transaction reporting requirements for sales of over-the-counter pseudoephedrine and phenylpropanolamine products to 24 grams. At the same time, our proposal creates a safe harbor for legitimate cough and cold products sold in blister packs at the retail level at quantities of up to 3 grams.

The bill creates an interagency task force on the methamphetamine epidemic which will coordinate efforts across the Government. It requires that the Secretary of Health and Human Services develop a public health monitoring program, which will collect and disseminate data which can be used in policy development.

An important component of the bill we introduced, as well as the Clinton administration's proposal, were mandatory minimum sentences for meth dealers. The bill we pass today does not contain those "mandatory minimums," due to adoption of the Kennedy-Simon amendment.

Orrin Hatch

From my perspective, the Kennedy-Simon language on sentencing will not be as effective as the mandatory minimums that were contained in the original version of the bill. My colleagues should note that this bill would not have passed without our accepting the Kennedy-Simon amendment. The sponsors of this amendment were rather clear in expressing their desire to keep this bill from passing by unanimous consent without the change embodied in their amendment. In the 105th Congress, it is my intention to pursue enactment of these penalties. In the interest of passing a bill in an expeditious fashion, I have reluctantly agreed to accept the Kennedy-Simon amendment.

Another troublesome aspect of the compromise is the manner in which combination ephedrine products are treated. In the bill we are about to adopt, such products are treated differently than pseudoephedrine or phenylpropanolamine products. The chief difference is that the combination ephedrine products are not permitted to take advantage of the 3 gram, blister pack rule that is afforded to pseudoephedrine and phenylpropanolamine products.

I do not know of, and understand that the Drug Enforcement Agency does not know of, any public policy justification for this difference in treatment of products. One possible -- perhaps likely -- result will be to decrease the public's legitimate access to these products. I think this is unfortunate, and I hope this provision can be revisited.

One such change, which I believe is a significant improvement, is to provide guidance of what evidence the Department of Justice may use in examining whether the safe harbor provisions that affect certain products -- those products sold in blister packs in quantities of 3 grams or less -- are being diverted. We have clarified that isolated or infrequent use, or use of small quantities of these products, cannot be used to close the 3 gram, blister pack safe harbor for pseudoephedrine and phenylpropanolamine products.

As we crack down on those who make and sell illegal drugs we must also balance the interests of the millions of our citizens who benefit from legitimate over-the-counter drug products. Only if there is solid evidence of systemic abuse of 3 gram, blister pack retail sales should any further steps be taken that would impede the ability of ordinary, law-abiding Americans to have access to safe and effective cold remedies upon which they have come to rely.

Orrin Hatch

We must give the safe harbor provisions a fair test, and that is why the revised bill requires consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services and departmental reporting to Congress if the Justice Department believes the safe harbor should be breached.

Make no mistake about it, without the 3 gram, blister pack provision, many legitimate distributors of over-the-counter products would likely choose not to offer pseudoephedrine and phenylpropanolamine products. This is so because without this safe harbor language legitimate distributors of these over-the-counter products risk triggering the reporting and record keeping provisions and criminal sanctions that are attendant to regulated sales.

Orrin Hatch

At the request of the DEA, we included two important provisions. One makes the effective date of the so-called "safe harbor" provision effective for products on the shelf one year after enactment. The original bill had an effective date for products initially introduced into interstate commerce prior to 9 months after the date of enactment.

I would also like to comment on another critical provision of the Hatch-Biden-Wyden-Grassley-Feinstein amendment, which is that it takes the unusual step of legislatively overriding a regulation. This provision was made necessary due to the fact that, on August 7, 1996, the DEA promulgated a final rule with respect to certain pseudoephedrine products.

The DEA had been involved, almost daily, in the negotiations over the development of the bill prior to promulgation of this final rule. I take the unilateral action on the part of the DEA to issue that rule -- without any notice to the relevant committees -- to be unfortunate bureaucratic judgment or a snafu.

Finally, as a result of testimony at the House hearing, we have added two provisions to the bill. One allows the effective date to be extended up to 6 months at the sole discretion of the administration. The second allows manufacturers to petition for reinstatement from the legal drug exemption; the Attorney General may grant such an exemption if she finds that the product is manufactured and distributed in a manner which prevents diversion.

Orrin Hatch

We have all strived to keep in mind our topmost goal: curbing methamphetamine abuse. The bill we are considering today meets that goal. It is comprehensive, it is tough, and it is much needed.

I hope that we will approve the amended version of S. 1965 quickly, so that the House may consider the measure, and we can move it swiftly downtown to the President for his signature.

Mr. President, the story of our failure to foresee -- and prevent -- the crack cocaine epidemic is one of the most significant public policy mistakes in modern history. Although warning signs of an outbreak flared over several years, few took action until it was too late.

Within the past few years the production and use of methamphetamine have risen dramatically. Newspaper and media reports over the past few months have highlighted these increases. I have been tracking this development and pushing legislation to increase Federal penalties and strengthen Federal laws against methamphetamine production, trafficking, and use since 1990.

From 1991 through 1994 methamphetamine related emergency room episodes increased 256 percent -- the increase from 1993 to 1994 alone was 75 percent -- with more than 17,000 people overdosing and being brought to the emergency room because of methamphetamine.

A survey of high school seniors, which only measures the use of "ice" -- a fraction of the methamphetamine market -- found that in 1995 86,000 12th graders had used ice in the past year, 39,000 had used it in the past month, and 3,600 reported using ice daily. This same survey found that only 54 percent of high school seniors perceived great risk in trying ice -- down from 62 percent in 1990. And 27 percent of these children said it would be easy for them to get ice if they wanted it.

The cause for concern over a methamphetamine epidemic is further fueled by drug-related violence -- again something we saw during the crack era -- that we can expect to flourish with methamphetamine as well. Putting the problem in perspective, drug experts claim that "ice surpasses PCP in inducing violent behavior." In addition to the violence -- both random and irrational -- associated with methamphetamine users, there is also the enormous problem of violence among methamphetamine traffickers and the environmental and life-threatening conditions endemic in the clandestine labs where methamphetamine is produced.

The bill the Senate is considering addresses all of the dangers of methamphetamine and takes bold actions to stop this potential epidemic in its tracks. Specifically, the Hatch-Biden methamphetamine enforcement bill will take six major steps toward cracking down on methamphetamine production, trafficking, and use, particularly use by the most vulnerable population threatened by this drug -- our young people.

Third, we increase the reporting requirements and restrictions on the legitimate sales of products containing these precursor chemicals in order to prevent their diversion, and we impose even greater requirements on all firms which sell these product by mail. This includes the use of civil penalties and injunctions to stop "legitimate" firms from recklessly providing precursor chemicals to methamphetamine manufacturers.

Today, the Senate is telling drug dealers that we aren't going to let methamphetamine become the crack of the 1990s. By passing the Comprehensive Methamphetamine Control Act, the Senate is taking decisive action to stem the tide of the methamphetamine epidemic that has sunk its claw into communities in Oregon and across the Nation.

I do not believe we are acting a moment too soon. Last year in Oregon, 52 deaths were tied to methamphetamine. By comparison, Oregon's Office of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Programs reported that there was only one meth-related death in 1991. Meth-related arrests are rising across my State: Over the last 5 years in Jackson County, meth-related violations rose 1,100 percent, while in Malheur County, meth-related arrests jumped 110 percent from 1993 to 1994. In Portland, police seizures of meth increased 145 percent from 1994 to 1995.

Since this bill was introduced in June, I have met with Oregonians from across the State who have told me about the need for a tough Federal response to the meth crisis. In Medford, I attended a Methamphetamine Awareness Conference, where law enforcement officials joined with public health experts and other social service providers to discuss the need for a comprehensive approach to the meth problem. In Portland, I convened a round table so law enforcement officials from across the State could focus on how Federal, State, and local law enforcement can come together to take on the methamphetamine crisis. Everywhere I go, the refrain is the same -- the problem is growing, as is its grip on our communities.

The legislation goes after the source of the methamphetamine problem -- the precursor chemicals, often found in legal, over-the- counter drug products, which are used to manufacture methamphetamine and its ugly cousin, amphetamine. While still allowing consumers access to many helpful and commonly used products containing the precursor chemicals, the bill will place significant restrictions on the bulk sale of the chemicals, both through the mail and over the counter. The legislation will also increase the penalties for the illegal possession and trafficking of the precursor chemicals and the equipment used to manufacture the controlled substances and will allow law enforcement increased flexibility to obtain injunctions to stop the illegal production and sale of precursor chemicals.

This legislation addresses the international trafficking in precursor chemicals by imposing a maximum 10-year penalty on the manufacture outside the United States of precursor chemicals with the intent to import the chemical into this country.

Back at home, the bill will increase penalties for those convicted of possessing and trafficking in methamphetamine. Penalties for methamphetamine trafficking have been too low for too long, and I hope the enhanced penalties will make drug dealers think twice before they peddle their poison. The bill will also ensure that methamphetamine manufacturers who put the life of any person at risk or endanger the environment will receive longer prison sentences.

Finally, I think that all our efforts at enforcing penalties against traffickers and users are going to be for naught unless we work to get at the root of the problem, which is the addiction to this deadly substance. I am pleased that this legislation will expand education, treatment and research activities related to methamphetamine.

I commend the fine bipartisan effort that went into crafting this bill. My colleagues, led by Chairman Hatch and Senators Biden and Feinstein, deserve praise for their commitment and cooperation on this matter. As we all seek to stamp out drug abuse in this country, I hope the partisan spirit that permeated this bill can be a harbinger of good things to come.

Tom Daschle

Mr. President, I rise in support of this important and much-needed bill. Law enforcement officers in my state of South Dakota know firsthand the serious impact the use of methamphetamines or "meth" has had on the State. Easily made from legally available chemicals -- indeed, instructions for manufacturing the drug can be found on the Internet -- meth is relatively cheap because local manufacturing eliminates the need for illegal smuggling. Highly addictive and capable of producing sharp personality alterations, violent episodes, and brain damage in users, the drug imposes a tremendous cost on our communities, families and law enforcement resources.

Methamphetamines have been linked with several violent crimes in South Dakota. In the last year, a contract-killing and a murder-suicide were both attributable to use of this drug. The DEA has registered an increase in the percentage of arrests due to meth in South Dakota from around 20 percent of the total arrest rate to 70 percent. And users often harm themselves as well. From 1991 through 1994, emergency room episodes caused by use of this drug increased 256 percent nationwide.

This bill addresses this emerging drug epidemic by increasing Federal penalties and strengthening Federal laws against production, trafficking and use of methamphetamines; increasing penalties for illicit possession and trafficking of precursor chemicals and equipment used to make the drug; increasing reporting requirements and restrictions on legitimate sales of products containing these precursor chemicals to prevent their diversion to illegal use; and strengthening provisions against illegal importation of methamphetamine and precursor chemicals.

Mr. President, I rise today in support of S. 1965, the Comprehensive Methamphetamine Control Act of 1996. I am pleased to join many of my colleagues from the Judiciary Committee, including Chairman Hatch and the ranking member, Senator Biden, as a cosponsor of this legislation.

This bill is an important step in attempting to halt the spread of methamphetamine across this Nation. Methamphetamine is a dangerous synthetic drug which stimulates the central nervous system and can lead to such unfortunate consequences, as death, violent and uncontrollable behavior and severe depression. Methamphetamine is similar to another synthetic drug which appeared in my home State of Wisconsin in the recent past, methcathinone or cat as it is commonly known. Thankfully, through the hard work of law enforcement, both Federal and local, throughout the upper Midwest, it appears that methcathinone remains a relatively isolated problem. In contrast, however, the use of methamphetamine appears to be spreading.

While use of methamphetamine creates responses similar to that of crack cocaine, reactions to methamphetamine have been far more severe and longer in duration than those of crack or cocaine. Furthermore, in recent years the purity of this drug has increased, thus enhancing the potential for violent reactions among its users. The consequences of this are serious, not only for the user, but for society as well. Drug abuse can often lead to crime or violent behavior, possibilities which may be amplified when methamphetamine is involved. A recent national conference of Federal, State and local law enforcement indicated that law enforcement must become prepared to deal with more violent offenders who have abused methamphetamine.

The re-emergence of this drug can be traced to the early 1990's when Mexican drug traffickers began to increase their production and importation of methamphetamine in the United States. Although originally produced primarily in Mexico, the clandestine labs which generate methamphetamine have begun to appear in this nation. Initially, the devastating presence of this drug was largely restricted to the Western United States, predominately in California and Arizona. For the period of 1991 through 1994, methamphetamine related deaths increased by 176 percent for the cities of Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Diego, and San Francisco. In the city of Phoenix the number of methamphetamine related emergency room incidents increased by 370 percent for that same 4-year period. Nationwide, the number of emergency room incidents increased 350 percent from 1991 to 1994. While originally restricted to the western part of the United States, it appears that the drug has begun an eastward migration to parts of the Midwest. Mr. President, there can be no doubt that the consequences of using this drug are serious. We must take steps to address this growing problem and this legislation does just that.

S. 1965 includes provisions to strengthen and enhance penalties for the trafficking of methamphetamine. It increases penalties for the illegal possession and trafficking of precursor chemicals, those chemicals which are used to produce this deadly drug. The bill increases penalties for the illegal manufacture and possession of equipment used to construct the clandestine labs which generate methamphetamine and other controlled substances. Another troubling facet of this drug, which this bill addresses, is that the labs which produce this drug often pour volatile and lethal chemicals into the environment. This bill increases the penalties for those individuals who endanger the lives of innocent people and law enforcement as well as threaten the environment by operating these labs.

Because many of the components of methamphetamine are products which are otherwise legally available, the bill tightens restrictions on the sale and importation of the precursor chemicals used by methamphetamine traffickers. It enhances reporting requirements for pseudoephedrine or phenylpropanolamine, both important components in the production of methamphetamine. In short, Mr. President, in addition to punishing those individuals who market in this deadly drug, the bill addresses the important issue of regulating precursor chemicals which are essential to drug traffickers. Finally Mr. President, this legislation establishes an interagency task force to visit the growing problem of methamphetamine abuse and develop and implement a national strategy of education, prevention, and treatment. Further, the Secretary of Health and Human Services is charged with monitoring the level of methamphetamine abuse in the United States in order to assist public health officials in developing responses to this problem.

Clearly, Mr. President, the problems of drug which confront this Nation are complex and challenging. It will require a long-term commitment by all of us. We must coordinate law enforcement and tough sanctions with effective and adequately funded education, prevention and treatment initiatives. This legislation is clearly just one portion of what must be a larger approach to the issue of drug abuse, but it is, in my opinion, an important and necessary step in addressing the consequences of methamphetamine. I want to again thank the Senator from Delaware, Senator Biden, and Senator Hatch for their leadership on this bill. I am proud to join them in this effort and pleased that the Senate has chosen to adopt this important legislation.

Mr. President, as an original cosponsor of the Comprehensive Methamphetamine Control Act, I am pleased that the Senate is acting quickly to take this important step in our fight against drugs. Meth is destroying lives, families, and communities across Iowa and across the country. Just last week Des Moines police reported that marijuana use in the city is on the rise and that the increase is being driven by the popularity of methamphetamine. For Iowa, and many other States, this bill passage of this legislation can't come fast enough.

As Iowa's new drug of choice, meth has left no part of our State untouched. In a word, meth is poison. This dangerous and popular drug is cheap and easy to access. In Iowa, the street price for one gram of meth is $100, similar to that of cocaine. However, unlike cocaine whose effects last about 20 minutes, one quarter of a gram of meth will last about 12 to 14 hours. A leading Iowa doctor referred to meth as "the most malignant, addictive drug known to mankind." There is no doubt that the time for this legislation is now. Federal methamphetamine investigations have doubled and meth arrests have more than tripled over the past 2 years. The Division of Iowa Narcotics Enforcement reported a nearly 400 percent increase in meth seizures in a one year period. And in our largest city, Des Moines, meth seizures increased more than 4,000 percent.

Tom Harkin

The legislation we are passing today takes bold actions to help States like Iowa fight back. The Comprehensive Methamphetamine Enforcement Act stiffens penalties for the possession and trafficking of this deadly poison and cracks down on producers and traffickers by increasing penalties for the illicit possession of the chemicals and equipment used to manufacture methamphetamine. The bill increases restrictions and reporting requirements on companies who supply the ingredients for its production and creates national working groups comprised of public health officials and local law enforcement to develop strategies to continue to fight this budding epidemic.

Iowans have worked hard to cultivate a good quality of life. They have worked hard to make their communities a place to raise a family, a safe place, a decent place. But meth producers and dealers are peddling poison and wreaking havoc on small towns and communities across our State.

S. 1965, a bipartisan bill, takes aim at a rapidly growing problem in America and in Iowa -- the abuse of methamphetamine, known on the street as "meth" or "crank." I am from Iowa -- a rural state which most people do not associate with rampant crime or drug use. But in Iowa today, meth use has increased dramatically. According to a report prepared by the Governor's Alliance on Substance Abuse, seizures of meth in Des Moines increased an astounding 4,000 percent from 1993 to 1994. I repeat: meth seizures in Des Moines increased by 4,000 percent. The increase statewide was 400 percent.

And according to the Iowa Department of Public Health, 7.3 percent of Iowans seeking help from substance abuse treatment centers in 1995 cited meth as their primary addiction. That's up over 5 percent from 1994, when only 2.2 percent cited meth as their primary addition.

Meth is cheap. A meth high lasts for a very, very long time, so you get more for your money. And perhaps most disturbingly, meth does not have the stigma associated with cocaine and crack. Kids know that crack is dangerous. But they haven't yet learned that meth is.

In Waterloo, Iowa, though, people are beginning to learn this sad and painful lesson. According to the New York Times, a 17-year-old Iowan who had been a good boy, descended into meth addiction. His behavior changed for the worse. Last October, this young man checked himself into the hospital because he believed that he had the flu. He died only days later because meth had so destroyed his immune system that he developed a form of meningitis. I'll never forget the words of this boy's mother: "He made some wrong decisions and this drug sucked him away." I wonder how many more young Americans are going to be "sucked away" before we get a handle on the meth problem.

Mr. President, what America is facing today with the explosion in meth use is nothing short of an epidemic. Meth is cheap and easily manufactured from commonly available chemicals. Today, the Senate is striking at the root of the problem: Chemical suppliers who sell chemicals to illegal meth labs. The harder it is for criminal chemists to get the raw material to make meth, the more difficult it will be to produce. This in turn will make it more expensive. And this will reduce consumption. And that will help keep our kids alive a little longer.

Importantly, this bill preserves the flexibility of States to enact their own laws to deal with the manufacture of meth. Some very powerful chemical companies have tried to weaken this bill by preempting the States. I think that is just wrong-headed and I am pleased that the Senate has rejected this effort.

Some of the chemical companies also tried to create so-called safe harbors so large that enormous bulk purchases of meth ingredients would never have to be reported to the DEA. That means criminals could go to the corner drugstore, purchase legal products like pseudoephedrine in large quantities and make poison with no one the wiser. And then that poison is sold to our kids.

While the Senate has had to make some compromises I wouldn't have wanted to make in a perfect world -- like the blister-pack exception for pseudoephedrine -- I think that this bill represents a major step forward.

Finally, Mr. President, I especially want to take my hat off to Senator Feinstein for her work on this bill. More than any other Senator, Dianne Feinstein worked tirelessly to make sure that we could get the strongest possible meth bill. I just want the American people to know what a tremendous job she's done.

Mr. President, in the 1980's, we almost lost a generation to crack and powder cocaine. Let's not get that close to the edge again. I'm proud that the Senate today has stood up to the chemical companies, stood up to the drug dealers and passed this crucial piece of legislation.
