Chuck Schumer

I commend our leader on Judiciary, Senator Leahy, for his diligent work on so many of the issues contained here. I know there are some differences on a few. I commend Senator Biden, who has worked long and hard on this issue for many years. We all owe him a debt of gratitude for his strenuous efforts. I also thank the Senator from California, Mrs. Boxer. When Senator Biden first introduced the bill in the Senate, Senator Boxer, then Congress Member Boxer, was the House sponsor; I was the cosponsor. When she moved on to the Senate, I became the lead House sponsor and managed the bill as it was signed into law.

Chuck Schumer

When it was first enacted in 1994, the Violence Against Women Act signaled a sea change in our approach to the epidemic of violence directed at women. Until the law, by and large it had been a dirty little secret that every night hundreds of women showed up at police precincts, battered and bruised, because they were beaten by their spouse or their boyfriend or whatever. All too often they were told by that law enforcement officer, who really had no education, no training, or no place to send the battered woman: Well, this is a domestic matter. Go home and straighten it out with your husband.

So deep were the traditions ingrained that it was very hard to remove them. In fact, the expression "rule of thumb" comes from the medieval law that said a husband could beat his wife with a stick provided that stick was no wider than his thumb.

Chuck Schumer

The Violence Against Women Act took giant strides to take this terrible, dirty secret, bring it above ground, and begin really to cleanse it. The new law acknowledged that the ancient bias showed itself not just in the virulence of the perpetrators of violence but in the failure of the system and the community to respond with sufficient care and understanding. Shelters grew, police departments were educated, the VAWA hotline -- which we added to the law as an afterthought, I remember, in the conference -- got huge numbers of calls every week, far more than anybody ever expected. The increased penalties for repeat sex offenders did a great deal of good.

In my State alone, for instance, the act provided $92 million for purposes such as shelter, such as education, such as rape crisis centers, and such as prevention education for high school and college students, and victims' services. But, as impressive as the advances were under the original VAWA, we still have a long way to go; this horrible activity is ingrained deeply in our society. Building on the success of VAWA I, VAWA II -- the Violence Against Women Act II -- is now before us. It is still the case that a third of all murdered women die at the hands of spouses and partners and a quarter of all violent crimes against women are committed by spouses and partners. Indeed, the latest figures from the Bureau of Justice Statistics actually show an increase of 13 percent in rape and sexual assault.

So we have a long way to go. The battle continues. It is why the Violence Against Women Act is so important and will make such a difference in the lives of women across America. I will not catalog its provisions. That has been done by my colleagues before me. I urge my colleagues to vote for this legislation.

In conclusion, let us hope this law will hasten the time when violence against women is not a unique and rampant problem requiring the attention of this body. Let us pray for the time when women no longer need to live in fear of being beaten.

Madam President, I thank my good friend from Vermont for yielding me this time to voice my support for the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. It is an important act that should be passed forthwith.

I was a proud cosponsor of this bill when it passed in 1994, and I am an original cosponsor of the reauthorization bill. This is a law that has helped hundreds of thousands of women and children in my State of Iowa and across the Nation. Iowa has received more than $8 million through grants of VAWA. These grants fund the domestic violence hotline and keep the doors open at domestic violence shelters, such as the Family Violence Center in Des Moines.

VAWA grants to Iowa have provided services to more than 2,000 sexual assault victims just this year, and more than 20,559 Iowa students this year have received information about rape prevention through this Federal funding.

The numbers show that VAWA is working. A recent Justice report found that intimate partner violence against women decreased by 21 percent from 1993 to 1998. This is strong evidence that State and community efforts are indeed working. But this fight is far from over. The reauthorization of this important legislation will allow these efforts to continue without having to worry that this funding will be lost from year to year. I commend the Democratic and Republican leadership for working to get this bill done before we adjourn.

I believe my friends on the Republican side of the aisle are suffering from a split personality. They are willing to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act, but they are not willing to put a judge on the Federal bench who knows more about this law, has done more to implement this law than any other person in this country, and that is Bonnie J. Campbell, who right now heads the Office of Violence Against Women that was set up by this law in 1994. In fact, Bonnie Campbell has been the head of this office since its inception, and the figures bear out the fact that this office is working, and it is working well.

Senator Sessions said Bonnie Campbell has no courtroom experience. The truth: Bonnie Campbell's qualifications are exemplary. The American Bar Association has given her their stamp of approval. She has had a long history in law starting in 1984 with her private practice in Des Moines where she worked on cases involving medical malpractice, employment discrimination, personal injury, real estate, and family law.

As I said, in 1995, she led the implementation of the Violence Against Women Act as head of that office under the Justice Department. Her strong performance in this role is reflected in last month's House vote to reauthorize VAWA -- 415-3.

Tom Harkin

Senator Sessions from Alabama says she has no courtroom experience. I will mention a few of the judicial nominees who have been confirmed who were criticized for having little or no courtroom experience.

Tom Harkin

Randall Rader -- my friend from Utah might recognize that name -- was appointed to the U.S. Claims Court in 1988 and then to the Federal circuit in 1990. Before 1988, Mr. Rader had never practiced law, had only been out of law school for 11 years, and his only post-law-school employment had been with Congress as counsel to Senator Hatch from Utah. Yet today, he sits on a Federal bench. But Senator Sessions from Alabama says Bonnie Campbell has no courtroom experience; that is why she does not deserve to be on the Federal court.

Tom Harkin

He was criticized for his lack of experience because he had been in private practice for 5 years out of law school, and the rest of that time he was a law professor. Now he is on the Eighth Circuit.

Orrin Hatch

There are many academics who have not had 1 day of trial experience. There have been a number of Supreme Court Justices who have not had 1 day of trial experience. I do criticize the Senator in one regard, and that is for bringing up the name of Randall Rader because Randy happened to be one of the best members of our Senate Judiciary Committee. He is now one of the leading lights in all intellectual property issues as a Federal Circuit Court of Appeals judge. The fact is, he has a great deal of ability in that area. I agree with that.

I am saying here is a guy on the court, probably doing a great job for all I know, but he didn't have any courtroom experience either.

Let me just say this. I am in agreement with my friend and colleague from Iowa. I believe it is helpful to have trial experience, especially when you are going to be a trial judge. I do not think it is absolutely essential, however. I also believe some of the greatest judges we have had, on the trial bench, the appellate bench, and on the Supreme Court, never stepped a day into a courtroom other than to be sworn into law to practice.

Orrin Hatch

Now, I have to say, I appreciate my two colleagues from Iowa in their very earnest defense, and really offense, in favor of Bonnie Campbell. She is a very nice woman and a very good person. Personally, I wish I could have gotten her through. But it isn't all this side's fault. As the Senator knows, things exploded here at the end because of continual filibusters on motions to proceed and misuse of the appointments clause, holds by Democrats, by the Democrat leader, on their own judges, and other problems that have arisen that always seem to arise in the last days.

Orrin Hatch

So I apologize to the distinguished Senator I couldn't do a better job in getting her through. But I agree with him, and I felt obligated to stand and tell him I agreed with him, that some of our greatest judges who have ever served have never had a day in court. I might add, some of the worst who have ever served have never had a day in court also. I think it is only fair to make that clear. But there are also some pretty poor judges who have been trial lawyers, as well. So it isn't necessarily any particular experience.

Who have served in very distinguished manners who have not had trial experience. I think it is helpful, but it does not necessarily mean you are going to be a great judge.

Patrick Leahy

Madam President, if the Senator will yield, I will note the big difference between Judge Rader and Bonnie Campbell. I think Judge Rader is a very good judge. I supported him. Judge Rader got an opportunity to have a vote on his nomination, and he was confirmed. Bonnie Campbell, who was nominated way back in March, has never been given a vote. There is a big difference.

Patrick Leahy

It is not trial experience. There is a big difference. She deserved a vote just as much as anybody else. She never got the vote. Had she gotten the vote, then I think she would have been confirmed. It is not a question of Judge Rader, whom I happen to like, who is a close personal friend of mine, and whom I supported; it is a question of who gets a vote around here.

Tom Harkin

Bonnie Campbell was nominated on March 2 of this year. The four judicial nominees who were confirmed just last week were nominated after Bonnie Campbell. Why didn't Senator Sessions from Alabama stop them from going out of committee? They were nominated after Bonnie Campbell. Three of them were nominated, received their hearings, and were reported out of the committee during the same week in July. Bonnie Campbell had her hearing in May, and she has since been bottled up in committee.

I keep pointing out, in 1992 President Bush nominated 14 circuit court judges. Nine had their hearing, nine were referred, and nine were confirmed -- all in 1992. I guess it was not too late when the Republicans had the Presidency, but it is too late if there is a Democrat President.

Orrin Hatch

Madam President, I get a little tired of some of these comments about judges when we put through 377 Clinton-Gore judges, only 5 fewer than Ronald Reagan, the all-time high. I get a little tired of the anguishing.

Orrin Hatch

There has never been, to my recollection, in my 24 years here, a time where we have not had problems at the end of a Presidential year. Whether the Democrats are in power or we are in power, there is always somebody, and others -- quite a few people -- who foul up the process. But that is where we are. And to further foul it up is just not in the cards.

Orrin Hatch

It always is the case that some nominations "die" at the end of the Congress. In 1992, when Democrats controlled the Senate, Congress adjourned without having acted on 53 Bush nominations. I have a list here of the 53 Bush nominees whose nominations expired when the Senate adjourned in 1992, at the end of the 102nd Congress. By comparison, there are only 40 Clinton nominations that will expire when this Congress adjourns. My Democratic colleagues have discussed at length some of the current nominees whose nominations will expire at the adjournment of this Congress, including Bonnie Campbell. I ask unanimous consent that this list of 53 Bush nominations that Senate Democrats permitted to expire in 1992 be printed in the Record.

I would note that the Reagan and Bush nominations that Senate Democrats allowed to expire Congresses included the nominations of minorities and women, such as Lillian BeVier, Frederic Moreno, and Judy Hope.

Orrin Hatch

I do not have any personal objection to the judicial nominees who my Democratic colleagues have spoken about over the last few weeks. I am sure that they are all fine people. Similarly, I do not think that my Democratic colleagues had any personal objections to the 53 judicial nominees whose nominations expired in 1992, a the end of the Bush presidency.

Orrin Hatch

Many of the Republican nominees whose confirmations were blocked by the Democrats have gone on to great careers both in public service and the private sector. Senator Jeff Sessions, Governor Frank Keating, and Washington attorney John Roberts are just a few examples that come to mind.

Orrin Hatch

I know that it is small comfort to the individuals whose nominations are pending, but the fact of the matter is that inevitably some nominations will expire when the Congress adjourns. I happens every two years. I personally believe that Senate Republicans should get some credit for keeping the number of vacancies that will die at the end of this Congress relatively low. As things now stand, 13 fewer nominations will expire at the end this year than expired at the end of the Bush Presidency.

Orrin Hatch

Madam President, I rise today to express my pride and gratitude that the Violence Against Women Act of 2000 will pass the Senate today and soon become law. This important legislation provides tools that will help women in Utah and around the country who are victims of domestic violence break away from dangerous and destructive relationships and begin living their lives absent of fear.

I commend all of my fellow Senators and colleagues in the House of Representatives with whom I worked to ensure the Violence Against Women Act is reauthorized through the year 2005. The Republican and Democratic Senators and Representatives who worked to make sure that this legislation passed understood and understand that violence knows no boundaries and it can affect the lives of everyone.

This has been a truly bipartisan effort of which everyone can be extremely proud. Specifically, I thank Senator Joseph Biden for his unyielding commitment to this bill. His leadership and dedication has ensured VAWA's passage. I must say, though, that all along I remained more optimistic than he that we would pass this bill I promised him we would.

I want to take a moment to briefly summarize some of the important provisions in this legislation. First, the bill reauthorizes through fiscal year 2005 the key programs included in the original Violence Against Women Act, such as the STOP and Pro-Arrest grant programs. The STOP grant program has succeeded in bringing police and prosecutors, working in close collaboration with victim services providers, into the fight to end violence against women. The STOP grants were revised to engage State courts in fighting violence against women by targeting funds to be used by these courts for the training and education of court personnel, technical assistance, and technological improvements.

The Pro-Arrest grants have helped to develop and strengthen programs and policies that mandate and encourage police officers to arrest abusers who commit acts of violence or violate protection orders. These grants have been expanded to include expressly the enforcement of protection orders as a focus for the grant program funds. The changes also make the development and enhancement of data collection and sharing systems to promote enforcement of protection orders a funding priority. Another improvement requires recipients of STOP and Pro-Arrest grant funds, as a condition of funding, to facilitate the filing and service of protection orders without cost to the victim in both civil and criminal cases.

Additionally, the legislation reauthorizes the National Domestic Violence Hotline and rape prevention and education grant programs. It also contains three victims of child abuse programs, including the court-appointed special advocate program. The Rural Domestic Violence and Child Abuse Enforcement Grants are reauthorized through 2005. This direct grant program, which focuses on problems particular to rural areas, will specifically help Utah and other states and local governments with large populations living in rural areas.

Second, the legislation includes targeted improvements that our experience with the original Act has shown to be necessary. For example, VAWA authorizes grants for legal assistance for victims of domestic violence, stalking, and sexual assault. It provides funding for transitional housing assistance, an extremely crucial complement to the shelter program, which was suggested early on by persons in my home state of Utah. It also improves full faith and credit enforcement and computerized tracking of protection orders by prohibiting notification of a batterer without the victim's consent when an out-of-state order is registered in a new jurisdiction. Another important addition to the legislation expands several key grant programs to cover violence that arises in dating relationships. Finally, it makes important revisions to the immigration laws to protect battered immigrant women.

There is no doubt that women and children in my home state of Utah will benefit from the improvements made in this legislation. Mr. President, this is the type of legislation that can effect positive changes in the lives of all Americans. It provides assistance to battered women and their children when they need it the most. It provides hope to those whose lives have been shattered by domestic violence.

I am proud to have worked with the women's groups in Utah and elsewhere in seeing that VAWA is reauthorized. With their help, we have been able to make targeted improvements to the original legislation that will make crucial services better and more available to women and children who are trapped in relationships of terror. I am proud of this achievement and what it will do to save the lives of victims of domestic violence.

In closing, I again want to thank Senators Biden and Abraham, Congressman Bill McCollum, and Congresswoman Connie Morella for their leadership on and dedication to the issue of domestic violence. Legislators from both sides of the aisle in both Houses of Congress have been committed to ensuring that this legislation becomes law. I am proud to have worked with my fellow legislators to achieve this goal, which will bring much needed assistance to the victims of domestic violence.

Orrin Hatch

Madam President, I am not just talking about violence against women legislation and the work that Senator Biden and I have done through the years to make it a reality. I actually worked very hard in my home State to make sure we have women-in-jeopardy programs, battered women shelters, psychiatric children programs, and other programs of counseling, so that they can be taken care of in conjunction with the Violence Against Women Act and the moneys we put up here. In fact, we hold an annual charitable golf tournament that raises between $500,000 and $700,000 a year, most of which goes for seed money to help these women-in-jeopardy programs, children's psychiatric, and other programs in ways that will help our society and families.

Orrin Hatch

I believe in this bill. I believe it is something we should do. I think everybody ought to vote for it, and I hope, no matter what happens today, we pass this bill, get it into law, and do what is right for our women and children -- and sometimes even men who are also covered by this bill because it is neutral. But I hope we all know that it is mostly women who suffer. I hope we can get this done and do it in a way that really shows the world what a great country we live in and how much we are concerned about women, children, families, and doing something about some of the ills and problems that beset us.

Orrin Hatch

Madam President, let me use 1 more minute, and I will make a couple more comments. I want to express my strong support for the underlying bill in this conference report dealing with victims of sex trafficking. I am proud to have worked with my colleagues on the Foreign Relations Committee, led by Senators Brownback and Wellstone for much of this past summer, on the significant criminal and immigration provisions in this legislation. This is an important measure that will strengthen the ability of law enforcement to combat international sex trafficking and provide needed assistance to the victims of such trafficking. I think we can all be very proud of this effort.

Orrin Hatch

The sex trafficking conference report also contains legislation known as "Aimee's law." The purpose of Aimee's law is to encourage States to keep murderers, rapists, and child molesters incarcerated for long prison terms. Last year, a similar version of Aimee's law passed the Senate 81 to 17, and Aimee's law passed the House of Representatives 412 to 15.

Orrin Hatch

This legislation withholds Federal funds from certain States that fail to incarcerate criminals convicted of murder, rape, and dangerous sexual offenses for adequate prison terms. Aimee's law operates as follows: In cases in which a State convicts a person of murder, rape, or a dangerous sexual offense, and that person has a prior conviction for any one of those offenses in a designated State, the designated State must pay, from Federal law enforcement assistance funds, the incarceration and prosecution cost of the other State. In such cases, the Attorney General would transfer the Federal law enforcement funds from the designated State to the subsequent State.

Orrin Hatch

A State is a designated State and is subject to penalty under Aimee's law if (1) the average term of imprisonment imposed by the State on persons convicted of the offense for which that person was convicted is less than the average term of imprisonment imposed for that offense in all States; or (2) that person had served less than 85 percent of the prison term to which he was sentenced for the prior offense. In determining the latter factor, if the State has an indeterminate sentencing system, the lower range of the sentence shall be considered the prison term. For example, if a person is sentenced to 10-to-12 years in prison, then the calculation is whether the person served 85 percent of 10 years.

Orrin Hatch

The purpose of Aimee's law is simple: to increase the term of imprisonment for murderers, rapists, and child molesters. In this respect, Aimee's law is similar to the Violent-Offender-and-Truth-in- Sentencing Program and the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984. Since 1995, the Truth-in-Sentencing Program has provided approximately $600 million per year to States for prison construction. In order to receive these funds, States had to adopt truth-in-sentencing laws that require violent criminals to serve at least 85 percent of their sentences. As a result of such sentencing reforms, the average time served by violent criminals in State prisons increased more than 12 percent since 1993. Similarly, the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984 created the Federal sentencing guidelines and increased sentences for Federal inmates. I am proud to have supported both of these initiatives to increase prison terms for violent and repeat offenders.

Some will say that Aimee's law violates the principles of federalism, and in many respects, I am sympathetic to these arguments. However, I would note that Aimee's law does not create any new Federal crimes, nor does it expand Federal jurisdiction into State and local matters. Instead, this law uses Federal law enforcement assistance funds to encourage States to incarcerate criminals convicted of murder, rape, and dangerous sexual offenses for adequate prison terms.

In conclusion, I would like to acknowledge the efforts of Senator Santorum. He has been a tireless champion of Aimee's law. Without his leadership, Aimee's law would not have been included in the sex trafficking conference report. The State of Pennsylvania should be proud to have such an able and energetic Senator.

Orrin Hatch

My friend and colleague, the distinguished ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, has expressed frustration with certain legislative items being added to the sex trafficking conference report. I respect him for voicing his concerns. I too would have preferred to have each of the measures that were included in this sex trafficking conference report considered on their own. But we have witnessed, during this session of Congress, dilatory procedural maneuvering of the like I have never witnessed before in the Senate.

Orrin Hatch

Several bills which have passed both the House and the Senate are being held up with threats to filibuster the appointment of conferees. Motions to proceed to legislation are routinely objected to. As chairman of the Judiciary Committee, I was not even given the courtesy of being told that there was a Democratic hold on my interstate alcohol bill until after I sought to include it in the sex trafficking conference report. The public even witnessed the spectacle of the minority joining with the majority to limit debate on, and the amendments to, the Hatch H-1B bill and then turning around to repeatedly try to add non-relevant amendments to the bill in clear violation of the Senate rules.

Orrin Hatch

Just so the record is clear, there has been -- and continues to be -- an effort on the part of the minority to tie the Senate up in procedural knots and then accuse the majority of being unable to govern. That is their right under the rules. I do not recall engaging in similar tactics when Republicans were in the minority but I am confident there are instances where one could accuse of having engaged in similar dilatory tactics. But, I believe we eventually reached the point where our fidelity to the institution and our oaths of office transcended the short-term interests of ballot box legislating.

The Senate has previously passed the interstate alcohol bill and the Aimee's law legislation by overwhelming votes. Ironically, the one piece of legislation included in this bill which my colleagues on the other side of the aisle do not object to having been added is the Violence Against Women Act. This legislation has not been considered by the Senate, although I am confident had it been, it would have passed overwhelmingly.

Orrin Hatch

In short, no one respects the rules of the Senate more than me, In the end, I hope the minority will rethink its tired and belabored efforts to prevent the Senate from doing the public's work. Then we can adjourn and return to our respective states where the intervening adjournment can be spent with the real people of America -- the workers, the teachers, and students -- instead of the pollsters and spin doctors which seem to be of paramount attention to too many of my colleagues.

Orrin Hatch

Mr. President, today I am pleased by the likely passage tonight of S. 577, the Twenty-First Amendment Enforcement Act. Originally introduced on March 10, 1999, this legislation provides a mechanism that will finally enable states to effectively enforce their laws prohibiting the illegal interstate shipment of beverage alcohol.

Originally passed by the Senate as an amendment by Senator Byrd to the Juvenile Justice bill, S. 254, on a lopsided vote of 80-17 on May 18, 1999, a revised version of S. 577 bill passed out of the Judiciary Committee on a 17-1 vote on March 2, 2000. As of the time of final passage, there were 23 cosponsors of the bill in the Senate -- 12 Republicans and 11 Democrats.

Orrin Hatch

What is included in the conference report is the version of S. 577 as passed by the Judiciary Committee in March. It is important to note that the legislation, as revised with some amendments in the Committee to address both the Wine Institute's and the American Vintners Association's concerns, even got the support of Senators Feinstein and Schumer, the two most vocal early opponents of the legislation. We worked hard with representatives of the wineries on language to further clarify that this bill does not, even unintentionally, somehow change the balancing test employed by the Courts in reviewing State liquor laws. We were able to reach agreement and incorporated those changes in the bill. The Wine Institute and the Vintners Association both have written us that they are no longer oppose the legislation.

Orrin Hatch

The simple purpose of this bill is to provide a mechanism to enable States to effectively enforce their laws against the illegal interstate shipment of alcoholic beverages. Interstate shipments of alcohol directly to consumers have been increasing exponentially -- and, while I certainly believe that interstate commerce should be encouraged, and while I do not want small businesses stifled by unnecessary or overly burdensome and complex regulations, I do not subscribe to the notion that purveyors of alcohol are free to avoid State laws which are consistent with the power bestowed upon them by the Constitution. Unfortunately, that is exactly want is happening, and that is what this legislation will address.

Orrin Hatch

All States, including the State of Utah, need to be able to address the sale and shipment of liquor into their State consistent with the Constitution. As my colleagues know, the Twenty First Amendment ceded to the States the right to regulate the importation and transportation of alcoholic beverages across their borders. States need to protect their citizens from consumer fraud and have a claim to the tax revenue generated by the sale of such goods. And of the utmost importance, States need to ensure that minors are not provided with unfettered access to alcohol. Unfortunately, indiscriminate direct sales of alcohol circumvent this State right.

Orrin Hatch

Let me emphasize that there are many companies engaged in the direct interstate shipment of alcohol who do not violate State laws. In fact, many of these concerns look beyond their own interests and make diligent efforts to disseminate information to others to ensure that State laws are understood and complied with by all within the interstate industry. This legislation only reaches those that violate the law.

Orrin Hatch

Now, I would like to say a few words on the history of this issue. As many of my colleagues know, debate over the control of the distribution of beverage alcohol has been raging for as long as this country has existed. Prior to 1933, every time individuals or legislative bodies engaged in efforts to control the flow and consumption of alcohol, whether by moral persuasion, legislation or "Prohibition," others were equally determined to repeal, circumvent or ignore those barriers. The passage of state empowering federal legislation such as the Webb- Kenyon Act and the Wilson Act were not sufficient, in and of themselves, to provide states with the power they needed to control the distribution of alcohol in the face of commerce clause challenges. It took the passage of a constitutional amendment -- and the re-enactment of the Webb-Kenyon Act in 1935 -- to give states the power they needed to control the importation of alcohol across their borders.

Orrin Hatch

The Twenty-First Amendment was ratified in 1933. That amendment ceded to the States the right to regulate the importation and transportation of alcoholic beverages across their borders. By virtue of that grant of authority, each State created its own unique regulatory scheme to control the flow of alcohol. Some set up "State stores" to effectuate control of the shipment into, and dissemination of alcohol within, their State. Others refrained from direct control of the product, but set up other systems designed to monitor the shipments and ensure compliance with its laws. But whatever the type of State system enacted, the purpose was much the same: to protect its citizens and ensure that its laws were obeyed.

Orrin Hatch

With passage of the "Twenty-First Amendment Enforcement Act," the States will be empowered to fight illegal sales of alcohol -- let me emphasize illegal. This legislation is particularly well-timed in that it comes on the heels of a powerful opinion uphold state rights under the 21st Amendment in the case of Bridenbaugh v. Freeman-Wilson, by respected jurist Frank Easterbrook and the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. In an opinion upholding a state's right to regulate the importation of alcohol and prohibit illegal sales, Judge Easterbrook cogently articulated the role of the 21st Amendment in the Constitutional framework:

Orrin Hatch

Some who would seek to avoid state and federal laws have erroneously complained that S. 577 will allow states to enforce discriminatory state laws. These complaints are without merit. In actuality, failure to pass this bill would have had the effect of discriminating against in-state distributors by effectively giving out-of-state distributors de facto immunity from state regulation. Congress and the Constitution have recognized that States have a legitimate interest in being able to control the interstate distribution of alcohol on the same terms and conditions as they are able to control in-state distribution. As Judge Easterbrook pointed out:

Orrin Hatch

It is important to note that the Webb-Kenyon Act already prohibited the interstate shipment of alcohol in violation of state law. Unfortunately, that general prohibition lacked an appropriate enforcement mechanism, thus thwarting the states' ability to enforce their laws -- those same laws they enacted pursuant to valid Constitutional authority under the Twenty-First Amendment -- in state court proceedings through jurisdictional roadblocks. The legislation passed today removes that impediment to state enforcement by simply providing the Attorney General of a State, who has reasonable cause to believe that his or her State laws regulating the importation and transportation of alcohol are being violated, with the ability to file an action in federal court for an injunction to stop those illegal shipments.

1. Assures defendants of due process by requiring that no injunctions may be granted without notice to the defendants or an opportunity to be heard; 2. Assures defendants of due process by requiring that no preliminary injunction may be issued without proving: (a) irreparable injury, and (b) a probability of success on the merits; 3. Clarifies that injunctive relief only may be obtained -- no damages, attorneys fees or other costs -- may be awarded; 4. Assures that cases brought are truly interstate/federal in character by clarifying that in-state licensees and other authorized in-state purveyors, readily amenable to state proceedings, may not be subjected to federal injunctive actions; 5. Allows actions only against those who have violated or are currently violating state laws regulating the importation or transportation of intoxicating; 6. Notes that evidence from an earlier hearing on a request for a preliminary injunction -- but from no other state or federal proceedings, may be used in subsequent hearings seeking a permanent injunction -- conserving court resources but protecting a defendant's right to confront the evidence against him; 7. Ensures that S. 577 may not be construed to interfere with or otherwise modify the Internet Tax Freedom Act; 8. Provides for venue where the violation actually occurs -- in the state into which the alcohol is illegally shipped.

Orrin Hatch

Madam President, contrary to some of the erroneous claims of some in the narrow opposition, I want to reemphasize that S. 577 is intended to assist the states in the enforcement of constitutionally-valid state liquor laws by providing them with a federal court forum. We are not stopping Internet or for that matter, any, legal sales of alcohol. Indeed, there is no objection to this legislation by a host of companies who sell wine over the Internet, such as Vineyards. The sole remedy available under the bill is injunctive relief -- that is, no damages, no civil fines, and no criminal penalties may be imposed solely as a result of this legislation.

Orrin Hatch

We specifically included rules of construction language in subsection 2(e) stating that this legislation "shall be construed only to extend the jurisdiction of Federal courts in connection with State law that is a valid exercise of power invested in the States" under the Twenty- First Amendment as that Amendment has been interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court "including interpretations in conjunction with other provisions of the Constitution." This bill is not to be construed as granting the States any additional power beyond that.

Consequently, the state power vested under the Twenty-First Amendment, as I have discussed above, is appropriately interpreted with and against other rights and privileges protected by the Constitution, as the Supreme Court does in every case. It should also be made clear that by enacting S. 577, we are not passing on the advisability or legal validity of the various state laws regulating alcoholic beverages, which continue to be litigated in the courts, and should appropriately be a matter for the courts to decide.

Madam President, I have strong misgivings about one part of the conference report we are about to consider. The provisions relating to interstate sales of alcoholic beverages, known as the 21st Amendment Enforcement Act, would dramatically reduce the ability of small wineries in my state to market their products across the country.

These wineries are small, independent, often family-owned, operations. They are the "little guys" in the winemaking industry. They need to sell their products directly to consumers around the country, and the Internet, especially, holds great promise for their future economic success.

Already, some of them have been hurt by state laws banning interstate sales of wine. The Matanzas Greek Winery in Sonoma County estimates that it is turning away around $8,000 a month in direct sales from consumers who had visited the winery and hoped to place orders from their homes in other states.

I would like to ask the distinguished chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Senator Hatch, whether he would consider the impact of this legislation on my small wineries. Would the senator be willing, after the legislation has been on the books for a year or so, the review its impact on small wineries and to work with me to make such amendments as are necessary to take care of them?

Orrin Hatch

Madam President, I would be happy to consider this issue after next year and examine the legislation's impact on small wineries. I respect my colleagues from California's commitment to their constituents. I must reemphasize, however, that this legislation does nothing to hurt the so-called small wineries in competing or marketing their products in the wine business. I worked hard for over a year with the wine industry to ensure that the legislation does not have any unintended consequences, and want to reassure my colleague from California that the version of the legislation that is included in the conference report incorporates revisions made in the committee to address both the Wine Institute's and the American Vintners Association's concerns. We also included language to further clarify that this bill does not, even unintentionally, somehow change the balancing test employed by the courts in reviewing state liquor laws. I should also not that the Wine Institute and the Vintners Association, as well as numerous Internet commerce companies, have written us that they no longer oppose the legislation.

Orrin Hatch

The simple purpose of this bill is to provide a mechanism to enable States to effectively enforce their laws against the illegal interstate shipment of alcoholic beverages. I hope the distinguished Senator from California knows that while I certainly believe that interstate commerce should be encouraged, and while I do not want small businesses stifled by unnecessary or overly burdensome and complex regulations, I do not subscribe to the notion that purveyors of alcohol are free to avoid State laws which are consistent with the power bestowed upon them by the Constitution -- and I should add that I don't think that Senator Boxer subscribes to that notion either.

Orrin Hatch

Let me emphasize that there are many companies engaged in the direct interstate shipment of alcohol who do not violate State laws. In fact, many of these concerns look beyond their own interests and make diligent efforts to disseminate information to others to ensure that State laws are understood and complied with by all within the interstate industry. This legislation only reaches those that violate the law, and only allows the attorney general of a state to go to Federal court to enforce its laws. It is just a jurisdictional legislation and does not allow or prohibit any sales or marketing by any winery, large or small.

Madam President, I rise in strong support of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act conference report, H.R. 3244, which in addition to seeking to end the trafficking of women and children into the international sex trade, slavery and force labor also includes major provisions reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act, providing justice for victims of terrorism, and Aimee's law.

One of the most disturbing human rights violations of our time is trafficking of human beings, particularly that of women and children, for purposes of sexual exploitation and forced labor. Every year, the trafficking of human beings for the sex trade affects hundreds of thousands of women throughout the world. Women and children whose lives have been disrupted by economic collapse, civil wars, or fundamental changes in political geography have fallen prey to traffickers. According to the Department of State, approximately 1-2 million women and girls are trafficked annually around the world.

I commend Senator Sam Brownback and Senator Paul Wellstone for their bipartisan leadership on the International Trafficking of Women and Children Victim Protection Act. The bill specifically defines "trafficking" as the use of deception, coercion, debt bondage, the threat of force, or the abuse of authority to recruit, transport, purchase, sell, or harbor a person for the purpose of placing or holding such person, whether for pay or not, in involuntary servitude or slavery-like conditions. Using this definition, the legislation establishes within the Department of State an Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking. The Task Force would assist the Secretary of State in reporting to Congress the efforts of the United States government to fight trafficking and assist victims of this human rights abuse. In addition, the bill would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide for a non-immigrant classification for trafficking victims in order to better assist the victims of this crime.

Senator Orrin Hatch and Senator Joe Biden introduced S. 2787, the Violence Against Women Act. This bipartisan bill would reauthorize federal programs which have recently expired for another five years to prevent violence against women. It seeks to strengthen law enforcement to reduce these acts of violence, provide services to victims, strengthen education and training to combat violence against women and limit the effects of violence on children. I am an original cosponsor of this important legislation which has been endorsed by the National Association of Attorneys General, the National Governor's Association, and the American Medical Society. On September 26, the House of Representatives passed its version of the Violence Against Women Act, H.R. 1248, by a vote of 415 to 3. I am pleased that this important legislation is included in the Sex Trafficking conference report which passed the House of Representatives on October 6 by a 371-1 vote margin.

The reauthorization legislation also creates new initiatives including transitional housing for victims of violence, a pilot program aimed at protecting children during visits with parents accused of domestic violence, and protections for elderly, disabled, and immigrant women. The bill also would provide grants to reduce violent crimes against women on campus and extend the Violent Crime Reduction Trust Fund. It authorizes over $3 billion over five years for the grant programs. As a Member of the House of Representatives in the 103rd Congress, I supported H.R. 1133, the original Violence Against Women Act, offered by Representative Pat Schroeder of Colorado. Since FY1995, VAWA has been a major source of funding for programs to reduce rape, stalking, and domestic violence. I am also very pleased that my own legislation to strengthen incentives for violent criminals, including rapists and child molesters, to remain in prison and hold states accountable is included in the conference report.

Aimee's law was prompted by the tragic death of a college senior Aimee Willard who was from Brookhaven, Pennsylvania near Philadelphia. Arthur Bomar, a convicted murderer was early paroled from a Nevada prison. Even after he had assaulted a woman in prison, Nevada released him early. Bomar traveled to Pennsylvania where he found Aimee. He kidnapped, brutally raped, and murdered Aimee. He was prosecuted a second time for murder for this heinous crime in Delaware County, PA. Aimee's mother, Gail Willard, has become a tireless advocate for victims' rights and serves as an inspiration to me and countless others.

This important legislation would use federal crime fighting funds to create an incentive for states to adopt stricter sentencing and truth- in-sentencing laws by holding states financially accountable for the tragic consequences of an early release which results in a violent crime being perpetrated on the citizens of another state. Specifically, Aimee's law will redirect enough federal crime fighting dollars from a state that has released early a murderer, rapist, or child molester to pay the prosecutorial and incarceration costs incurred by a state which has had to reconvict this released felon for a similar heinous crime. More than 14,000 murders, rapes, and sexual assaults on children are committed each year by felons who have been released after serving a sentence for one of those very same crimes. Convicted murderers, rapists, and child molesters who are released from prisons and cross state lines are responsible for sexual assaults on more than 1,200 people annually, including 935 children.

Recidivism rates for sexual predators are the highest of any category of violent crime. Despite this, the average time served for rape is only five and one half years, and the average time served for sexual assault is under four years. Also troubling is the fact that thirteen percent of convicted rapists receive no jail time at all. We have more than 130,000 convicted sex offenders right now living in our communities because of the leniency of these systems. The average time served for homicide is just eight years. Under Aimee's law, federal crime fighting funds are used to create an incentive for states to adopt stricter sentencing and truth-in-sentencing laws.

This legislation is endorsed by Gail Willard, Aimee's mother, Marc Klass, Fred Goldman, and numerous organizations such the National Fraternal Order of Police, the National Rifle Association, and the Law Enforcement Alliance of America. 39 victims' rights organizations also support Aimee's law including Justice For All, the National Association of Crime Victims' Rights, the Women's Coalition, and Kids Safe. These groups consider Aimee's law one of their highest priority bills. It sends a message that if a state has very lenient sentencing it impacts other states and crime victims in those states as well.

I first offered Aimee's law as an amendment to the juvenile justice bill on May 19, 1999, which passed the Senate by a 81-17 vote margin. Congressman Matt Salmon also offered the legislation as an amendment in the House of Representatives on June 16, 1999, which passed by a 412-15 vote. Due to a lack of progress on the conference report it became necessary to move the legislation separately. On May 11, I joined Aimee's mother Gail at a hearing of the U.S. House Subcommittee on Crime, to urge the House to approve legislation separately to keep sexual predators behind bars. The House of Representatives subsequently passed the legislation again by a unanimous voice vote.

We have made several modest changes to address implementation concerns by the states in the effort to achieve the best protection possible for our citizens. These include (1) Definitions: utilizing the definitions for murder and rape of part I of the Uniform Crime Reports of the FBI and for dangerous sexual offenses utilizing the definitions of chapter 109A of title 18- to provide for uniform comparisons across the states; (2) Sentencing Comparisons: Eliminating the additional 10 percent requirement and utilizing a national average for sentencing only as a benchmark; (3) Study: Also building into the process a study evaluating the implementation and effect of Aimee's Law in 2006; (4) Source of Funds: Provides states the flexibility to choose the source of federal law enforcement assistance funds (except for crime victim assistance funds); (5) Implementation: Delays the implementation of Aimee's Law to January 1, 2002 to allow states the opportunity to make any modifications that they would choose to do; and (6) Indeterminate Sentencing States: Safe harbor for states with sentencing ranges allows for the use of the lower number in the calculation (e.g. if sentencing guideline is 10-15 years, 10 years will be utilized.) We are sending a clear message with Aimee's law. We want tougher sentences and we want truth in sentencing. A child molester who receives four years in prison, when you consider the recidivism rate, is an abomination. Murders, rapists, and child molesters do not deserve early release; our citizens deserve to be protected. In this legislation we are protecting one state's citizens from the complacency of another state, and appropriate role for the federal government. I want to thank my colleagues for their support and urge the passage of this legislation.

In conclusion, Madam President, I thank Senator Brownback for his great work and perseverance in bringing this crime- fighting package to the Senate to pass it and turn it into law quickly. Aimee's law was debated and considered here in the Senate during this session of Congress. It passed 81-17. It has passed the House with over 400 votes. It is a provision that has very broad support. It is one of the No. 1 legislative provisions that the victims rights organizations in America would like to see done.

This is a piece of legislation that targets three types of offenders -- murderers, rapists, and sex offenders, child molesters in particular. What this does is focus on those three because, obviously, they are three of the most heinous crimes on the books, but they are also crimes that have the highest incidence of repeat offenders, particularly the sexual crimes.

Aimee's law is given that name for Aimee Willard. She was a college student outside of Philadelphia who was raped and murdered by Arthur Bomar. Arthur Bomar was released from a Nevada prison after serving only a small fraction of his sentence for a similar crime. He was released, and within a few months he found his way to Philadelphia, where Aimee was out one evening. She was attacked, raped, and murdered. It was a case that sent shockwaves through southeastern Pennsylvania and the whole Delaware Valley. Aimee's mother, Gail, has been on a crusade since then to do something to make sure convicted rapists and murderers and other sex offenders serve their full sentences.

If you look at the sentences that are meted out for these crimes, it is somewhat chilling to realize that if you look at the sentences that are served for murder, for example, the average sentence for murder is 8 years. The average sentence for rape is 5\1/2\ years. This is the actual time they serve, and the actual time served for a sex or child molestation offense is 4 years.

We believe that you have a high incidence of recidivism in these crimes, and people need to serve longer sentences so they are not a threat to our communities. In fact, more than 14,000 murders, rapes, and sexual assaults on children are committed each year by felons who had been released after serving a sentence on one of those very same crimes. So 14,000 of these crimes are committed by people who have committed these crimes in the past, who were let go to commit a crime again.

What we believe and what we have suggested is, frankly, very modest. It is modest in the sense that it is, I argue, even for those 81 Senators who voted for this legislation the last time around -- and some expressed concern that this was going to be too tough on the States -- not as tough as it was before. We have changed it in ways that have made it a little less onerous on States to have to keep up with these provisions. We tightened the definitions more. We created flexibility for the States for them to choose which funds they would use.

This is basically what this proposal does. It says if you release someone from prison who has not served 85 percent of their sentence, or has served a sentence below the national average for the crimes that we enumerate, and that person goes out and commits a crime in another State, then the State in which the person has committed the second crime -- the released felon commits a second crime -- then it has a right to go to the original State who let this person out early and seek compensation for all the costs associated with the prosecution, conviction, and incarceration of that criminal.

Rick Santorum

That hardly seems like the overbearing Federal Government dictating to States how to run their criminal justice system. These are Federal funds. States can choose which Federal funds they can allocate for this purpose. But what it says is we need to get tougher in having tougher sentences and making sure that those sentences, when given, are served.

I don't believe that is too much to ask for this Congress, and I very strongly urge my colleagues to support this measure, and recognize that if this measure is not supported this bill will be dead and will have to start over again in the House of Representatives.

Madam President, I yield myself 3 minutes. I want to recognize the leadership of my colleague from Pennsylvania, Senator Santorum, in this provision. This is something he fought for to put in this overall package, to keep in this overall package, and it was something when we started down this road, frankly, I was saying I want a little, clean, simple bill to deal with sex trafficking. And several Members on the House side, and Senator Santorum on this side, fought to put this in.

The more I studied this, the consistency of the flow was there with this. This is dealing with trying to protect people who have been subject to domestic crimes, domestic violence, to protect people who have been subject to trafficking and protect people who have been subject to, frankly, early release and high recidivism offenders in other States, such as what happened, unfortunately, in his State in the case of Aimee Willard.

I applaud my colleague's work. I note one other thing. Other colleagues look at this and raise questions about does this really fit within the overall package, and one can make their decision one way or the other. But the point is, if this is pulled out, the bill has to go back to the House. We don't have time, so it effectively kills the bill. The House has already voted 371-1 for this package. It is a package and if this gets pulled out, it has to go back to the House. The House is going out on Friday for a funeral of one of its Members. Tomorrow, it has its calendar set up. It kills the bill, so everything else gets killed as well, regardless of what the arguments are. I plead with colleagues and say let's look at this and go ahead and support the entire package and not support the motion to strike the Aimee's law provision.

Madam President, I note that we are planning on a vote at 4:30. Senator Thompson has the time reserved from 3:30 to 4:30. I note for my colleagues that if anybody wishes to speak on this particular bill, Senator Thompson has an entire hour reserved. Under the unanimous consent order, we immediately go to both votes -- the vote on the appeal of the ruling of the Chair for Senator Thompson, and immediately we will go to a vote on final passage of the conference report.

I will use a couple of minutes of my time at this point. I note that within the bill there is the Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act that has been spoken of by Senator Lautenberg and Senator Mack, which seeks justice for victims of terrorism that is taking place. That is in the bill. I think it is an important part of the legislation. I hope we will have some discussion taking place on that as well.

Mr. President, what a difference a year makes. Last year, I came to the floor and indicated I thought in light of the resistance taking place regarding the Violence Against Women Act and its reauthorization and the Violence Against Women II Act, it would be a tough fight to renew and strengthen the Violence Against Women Act. Thanks to the help and support of a number of folks in and out of this Senate -- from attorneys general in the various States, to police, to victims advocates, doctors, nurses, Governors, women's groups -- I am proud to say we finally arrived at a point where the Violence Against Women Act 2000 is on the verge of passing the Senate as part of the sex trafficking conference report.

I thank particularly my good friend from Minnesota. Since he has arrived in the Senate, he has been the single strongest supporter I have had. Along with his wife, who is incredible, she has been the single most significant outside advocate for the Violence Against Women Act in everything that surrounds and involves it.

I dealt him a bit of advice. When I went to a conference on a bill he was working very mightily for, along with our friend and Republican colleague, the sex trafficking bill, which is a very important bill in and of itself -- by itself it is important -- if we were doing nothing else but passing that legislation that he and Senator Brownback have worked so hard on, it would be a worthy day, a worthy endeavor for the Senate and the U.S. Government.

I realize people watching this on C-SPAN get confused when we use the "Senate speak." We talk of conferences and conference reports and various types of legislation. The bottom line is, I was part of that agreement where we sat down with House Members and Senate Members to talk about the sex trafficking legislation. I didn't surprise him -- I told him ahead of time, but I am sure I created some concern -- by attempting to add the Violence Against Women Act to that legislation. We ultimately did.

It is the first time in the 28 years I have been in the Senate that I have gone to a conference and added a major piece of legislation in that conference, knowing that it might very well jeopardize the passage of the legislation we were discussing. And it is worthy legislation. I am a cosponsor. I can think of nothing -- obviously, you would expect me to say that, being the author of this legislation -- I can think of nothing of more consequence to the women of America and the children of America than our continuing the fight -- and I am sure my friend from Minnesota agrees with me -- regarding violence against women.

I thank Senator Hatch for working so hard with me to pass this legislation. This legislation was not a very popular idea on the other side of the aisle 8 years ago when we wrote this, and 6 years ago when we got close to passing it, and 5 years ago when we passed it. Senator Hatch stood up and led the way on the Republican side. And I thank my Republican colleagues, about 25 of whom -- maybe more now -- cosponsored it. I attribute that to Senator Hatch's leadership, and I thank him for that.

First of all, it reauthorizes the Violence Against Women Act of 1994, referred to as landmark legislation. I believe it is landmark legislation. It is the beginning of the end of the attitude in America that a woman is the possession of a man, that a woman is, in fact, subject to a man's control even if that requires "physical force." This clearly states, and we stated it for the first time on record in 1994, that no man has a right under any circumstance other than self- defense to raise his hand to or to use any physical force against a woman for any reason at all other than self-defense.

One might think: Big deal; we all knew that. No, we didn't all know that. It has begun to shape societal attitudes. What has happened is that we have seen a decline of 21 percent in the violent acts committed by significant others against their spouses and/or girlfriends and/or mate. That is a big deal. What happens if we don't pass this today? The Violence Against Women Act goes out of existence. It is no longer authorized. So this is a big deal, a big, big deal.

No. 2, I promised when I wrote this legislation in 1994 that, after seeing it in operation, I would not be wedded to its continuation if it wasn't working, and that I would propose, along with others, things that would enhance the legislation. That is, places where there were deficiencies we would change the law and places where the law in place was useless or counterproductive, we would eliminate that provision of the law. We have kept that promise.

This legislation does a number of things. It makes improvements in what we call full faith and credit of enforcement orders. Simply stated, that means if a woman in the State of Maryland goes to court and says, "This man is harassing me," or "He has beaten me," or "He has hurt me," and the court says that man must stay away from that woman and cannot get within a quarter mile -- or whatever the restriction is -- and if he does, he will go to jail, that is a protection order, a stay away order.

What happens in many cases when that woman crosses the line into the State of Delaware or into the State of Pennsylvania or into the District of Columbia and that man follows her, the court in that district does not enforce the stay away order from the other State for a number of reasons: One, they don't have computers that they can access and find out whether there is such an order; two, they are blase about it; or three, they will not give full faith and credit to it.

Second, transition housing. This is a change. We have found that we have provided housing for thousands and thousands and thousands of women who have gotten themselves into a dilemma where they are victimized but have no place to go. So we, all of us in the Congress, have provided moneys for building credible and decent and clean shelters, homes for women where they can bring their children.

We found out there is a problem. There is a problem because there are more people trying to get into this emergency housing and there is no place for some of these women to go between the emergency housing -- and they can't go back to their homes -- and having decent housing. So we provide for a transition, some money for transition housing. In the interest of time, I will not go into detail about it.

Third, we change what we call incorporating dating violence into the purposes that this act covers, where there is a pro-arrest policy, where there are child abuse enforcement grants, et cetera. The way the law was written the first time, an unintended consequence of what I did when I wrote the law is, a woman ended up having to have an extended relationship with the man who was victimizing her in order to qualify for these services. That is an oversimplification, but that is the essence. If a woman was a victim of date rape, the first or second time she went out with a man of whom she was a victim, she did not qualify under the law for those purposes. Now that person would qualify.

As my friend from Minnesota knows, most of the time when a woman gets shot or killed in a domestic exchange, it is when she is literally dropping off a child at the end of the weekend. That is when the violence occurs. So we provide the ability for the child to be dropped off in a safe place, under supervised care -- the father leaves, and then the mother comes and picks the child up and regains custody -- because we find simple, little things make big, giant differences in safety for women. This also provides pilot programs relating to visitation and exchange.

And we provided a domestic violence task force. We also provide standards, practices, and training for sexual forensic examinations which we have been doing in my State, and other States have done, but nationwide they are not being done. So much loss of potential evidence is found when the woman comes back into court because they did not collect the necessary evidence at the time the abuse took place.

Also, maybe the single most important provision we add to the Violence Against Women Act is the battered immigrant women provision. This strengthens and refines the protections for battered immigrant women in the original act and eliminates the unintended consequence of subsequent charges in immigration law to ensure that abused women living in the United States with immigrant victims are brought to justice and the battered immigrants also escape abuse without being subject to other penalties.

We are also working hard to create an army of attorneys nationwide who have volunteered to provide free legal services to victims -- from filing a protection order, to divorce and custody matters. But many, many more women need legal assistance. The Violence Against Women Act of 2000, which is before us today, authorizes and provides the necessary funding to help victims of domestic violence, stalking, and sexual assault obtain legal assistance at little to no cost.

Violence Against Women Act funds have facilitated changes from simple, common sense reforms -- such as standardized police reporting forms to document the abuse . . . to more innovative programs, such as the Tri-State Domestic Violence Project involving North Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming. This project includes getting the word out to everyone from clergy to hairdressers to teachers -- anyone who is likely to come into contact with a domestic violence victims -- so that they can direct victims to needed housing, legal, and medical services. And the services and protections are offered across State lines.

Phyllis Lee from Tennessee says she is alive today thanks to the battered women shelter in Dayton. Without it, she is certain her abusive husband would have killed her with his violent beatings. After enduring 17 years of torturous abuse, including severe beatings to her head and body, rape, and the withholding of needed medical care, Phyllis finally escaped.

They review every domestic violence call to see if a child lives in the home. They are specially trained to interview that child and get him or her the needed counseling -- to break the cycle of violence.

Unfortunately, the abuse does not stop for women once they are divorced -- particularly when the father uses the children to continue the harassment. All too often, Kids caught in the crossfire of a divorce and custody battle need safe havens.

One woman in Colorado had to confront her former husband and abuser at her son's soccer games -- to exchange custody for the weekend. She had to endure continued mental and emotional abuse, putting herself in physical harms-way. Finally a visitation center opened. Now she drops off her son into the hands of trained staff in a secure environment.

And let's not forget the plight of battered immigrant women, caught between their desperate desire to flee their abusers and their desperate desire to remain in the United States. A young Mexican woman who married her husband at the age of 16 and moved to the United States suffered years of physical abuse and rape -- she was literally locked in her own home like a prisoner. Her husband threatened deportation if she ever told police or left the house. When she finally escaped to the Houston Area Women's Center in Texas, she was near death.

Finally, I am very pleased to report, this legislation expands grants under the Violence Against Women Act to states, local governments, tribal governments, and universities to cover violence that arises in dating relationships. Hopefully, this important change will help prevent tragedies like the death of Cassie Diehl, a 17-year-old high school senior from Idaho, killed by a boyfriend who left her for dead after the truck he was driving plunged 400 feet of a mountain road.

What is especially tragic about this story is the great lengths to which Cassie's parents went, before her death, to seek help from local law enforcement agencies and local prosecutors in putting an end to the boyfriend's constant abuse of their child, even seeking a protection order from a judge. All of these efforts failed because Cassie was a teenager involved in an abusive dating relationship. Law enforcement officials believed that because Cassie was a 17-year-old high school student living at home she could not be abused by a boyfriend, that she was not entitled to protection under the law.

Thanks in part to the landmark law we passed in 1994, violence against women is no longer regarded as a private misfortune, but is recognized as the serious crime and public disgrace that it is. We have made great strides to putting an end to the days when victims are victimized twice -- first by their abuser, then by the emergency response and criminal justice systems. We are making headway.

I believe that extending the trust fund is critical. Remember, none of this costs a single dime in new taxes. It's all paid for by reducing the federal government by some 300,000 employees. The paycheck that was going to a bureaucrat is now going into the trust fund. So I will continue to work to extend the trust fund to ensure that these programs actually receive the funding we have authorized.

Joe Biden

If you'll allow me one more point of personal privilege, this act -- the Violence Against Women Act -- is my single greatest legislative accomplishment in my nearly 28 years in the United States Senate.

Why? Because just from the few examples provided above -- it's having a real impact in the lives of tens of thousands of women and children. You see it and hear the stories when you're back home.

I will speak more on this in another venue, but I think it is safe to say VAWA would not be voted on today had it not been for the persistence of the Senator from Delaware. That persistence is something the public has not seen as much as those of us who have been in private meetings with him, where his muscle really counted. We would not have this vote today, and I suspect it will be an overwhelmingly supportive vote -- that vote would not have been today were it not for the total and complete persistence of the Senator from Delaware, just as the vote on sex trafficking is to the credit of the Senators from Kansas and Minnesota.

Mr. President, I thank my colleague for that. The beginning of my comments was a polite way of apologizing for my being so persistent. I have been here 28 years. I have never threatened a filibuster. I have never threatened to hold up legislation. I have never once stopped the business on the floor -- not that that is not every Senator's right. I have never done that. I care so much about this legislation that I was prepared to do whatever it would take. I apologize for being so pushy about it. But there is nothing I have done in 28 years that I feel more strongly about than this. I apologize to my friends for my being so persistent.

I know my colleague, Senator Brownback, wants to speak as well. Let me thank Senator Biden for his great leadership as well. We are very proud we were able to work this out and do trafficking and the reauthorization for the Violence Against Women Act together. Let me thank him for safe visas. He was kind enough to mention my wife Sheila. That was really an initiative on which she has been working. I was so pleased to see that in this bill.

Let me also say to my colleague, as much as I appreciate the work of the Senator from Tennessee, I want to make the point that this is not about the rule 28 scope of conference. I think the Chair will rule against my colleague from Tennessee. I think the Chair will rule against him with justification.

Most importantly, I want colleagues to know the majority of you voted for Aimee's law. I voted against it. But if the Senator from Tennessee should succeed -- I know this is not his intention -- that is the end of this conference report, that is the end of this legislation on trafficking, that is the end of reauthorization of VAWA, and it would be a tragic, terrible mistake.

If we are able to pass this legislation today, we still have a hurdle left to go. This is a major victory for women and children subject to violence here and abroad. This is a major piece of legislation for us to be able to pass through this body. It is late in the session. We are already past the time scheduled for adjournment. To be able to get this legislation passed at this time is a significant accomplishment. The Senator from Delaware pushed aggressively and hard on VAWA, as a number of people did on other items.

This is an objection to the conference report. There are many good things in this conference report. Unfortunately, Aimee's law is a part of it. I prefer to have the consideration of that independently, separate and apart from the conference report, but that is not to be.

Historically, of course, Aimee's law did pass as a part of a much larger bill, the juvenile justice bill, some time ago but was never signed into law. When I voiced my objection to it at that point, it was put into this conference report. I cannot let it go without raising my objection to something that I think has to do with an important principle.

I do not think anybody within the sound of my voice can accuse me of being soft on crime. I ran in 1994 on that issue. I ran again in 1996 on that issue. My position is clear. But my position is also clear that we are continuing the trend toward the centralization of decisionmaking in this country. In other words, if we do not like what a State is doing with regard to its criminal laws, we tend to find a way around it.

I do not like the idea that some States let prisoners out sooner than they should, but if we really do not like that and we really do not have any concerns about taking over the criminal jurisdiction in this country, things that have been under the purview of States for 200 years, why don't we just pass a Federal law using the commerce clause and state that it affects interstate commerce?

Perhaps the Supreme Court will allow it; maybe they will not. Why don't we just pass a Federal law on murder? Why don't we just have a Federal law that says anyone convicted of murder has to serve so much time and just get on with it? Even the people pushing things such as Aimee's law apparently recognize there is a principle that causes us problems, and that is, we are set up with a Federal system.

Every kid learns in school that we have a system of checks and balances, one branch against another, also Federal versus State and local law. It is a diffusion of power. It is time honored. It is in the Constitution. It is in the 10th amendment. Some things the States do and some things the Federal Government does.

If we do not believe in that anymore, if we are going to say every time there is some tragic circumstance, such as the drive-by shootings in 1992 -- we federalized the crime of drive-by shootings. In 1997, there was not one Federal prosecution for drive-by shootings, but yet it was in the headlines, and we could not help ourselves because we wanted to express our outrage at this crime that was being taken care of at the State level.

No one has ever accused these States with high-profile crimes of not jumping in and taking care of the situation, sometimes imposing the death penalty. You cannot do much more than that. Yet we feel the necessity to pass Federal laws that will ultimately create a Federal police force to do things we have left to the purview of the States for 200 years. That is a serious matter.

Nobody wants to vote against something called Aimee's law as a result of a tragedy of some young woman getting killed, for goodness' sake. Unfortunately, it happens all across this country all the time. But we have greater responsibilities when we take the oath of the office we hold. We are supposed to uphold the Constitution. Is the relationship between the State and Federal Government the one we studied in school, the one the courts tell us is still in effect, and, more fundamentally, do we need States anymore? States do not behave the way we want them to sometimes. States do not do what the Federal Government wants them to do. States do different things.

People in Tennessee might not look at something exactly the same way people in New York might look at it. People in New York might not look at something the same way people in California do. We have certain basic things on which we agree in our Federal Constitution, but the Founding Fathers gave us leeway to experiment.

Nobody I know of inside Washington, DC, has the answers to all these problems. We all have the same motivation: No one wants crime, no one wants these terrible tragedies, but we certainly do not have a monopoly on what to do about it. That is why we have States to experiment, to do different things.

Too often, under the glare of the headlines, we want one solution; we want one answer; we want one Federal answer with our name on the legislation so we "did something" about some tragic murder that happened in one of the States, which is prosecuted by the State and the person has long been sent to the penitentiary or death row.

We need to concentrate on the fact that we do not seem to think we need the States anymore. We had this fundamental disagreement at the founding of our country between Jefferson and Hamilton. Hamilton wanted a strong Federal Government, we all remember from our schooldays. Jefferson said: No, that is too much centralization of power; remember what happened to us earlier in our history. We need to diffuse that power, and the States need certain rights, so we need to balance that out.

One of my House colleagues said: The problem with Congress is we are Jeffersonians on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and Hamiltonians on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. We give lipservice to the proposition of limited Government, decentralization, giving more power back to the States, getting things out of Washington. We all run on that platform, and as soon as we get here, we can't wait to pass some sweeping Federal law that, in many cases, supersedes State law and the different ways States have chosen to handle a different problem.

We preempt State law. We pass Federal laws all the time. The Constitution allows us, under the supremacy clause, to do that. We will not even say when we are preempting. The courts have to decide that. We pass laws all the time, and the courts have to take a look at them later on to decide to what extent we are preempting State laws, and so we strike down those State laws.

We continue to criminalize State law. Five percent of the criminal prosecutions in this country are Federal. Yet last year there were over 1,000 pieces of legislation introduced in this Congress having to do with criminal law. It clogs the courts. Justice Rehnquist on a regular basis comes over here and pleads with us to stop this: You are not doing anything for law enforcement -- he tells us -- by trying to criminalize everything at the Federal level that is already covered at the State level; you are clogging the courts.

The Judicial Conference reports to us from time to time: You are clogging the courts with all this stuff that should not be in Federal court; the States are already taking care of that. Nobody is claiming they are not. So for the same offense, we have this array of State laws and this array of criminal laws, and the prosecutor can use that against a defendant however he might choose. It is not something that will enhance our system of justice but something that only enhances our own stature when we believe we are able to say we passed some tough criminal law. We are doing more to harm criminal justice by doing this than we are doing to help it.

We, from time to time, try to get around the commerce clause. We want to federalize things, such as guns in schools. Every State in the Union has a tough law they deal with in their own way as to what to do about a terrible problem -- guns in schools. We get no headlines out of that, so we had a Federal law to which the Supreme Court said: No, that does not affect interstate commerce. Then we just try to basically directly force States to enforce Federal laws and regulations that we make -- background checks for guns, when judges should retire, Federal regulations. Finally, the Supreme Court said: No, we cannot do that. The 10th amendment prohibits us from doing that. So we have a steady array of our attempting to figure out ways in and around the Constitution in order to impose our will because "we know best." The latest, of course, now is the use of the spending clause. The courts have said, basically, if Congress sends the money, they have the right to attach strings. States blithely go along many times -- not all the time, but many times. Oftentimes they accept that free Federal money and learn that they are getting 7 percent of their money for their problem and 75 percent of the regulations and redtape, the requirements that go along with it.

So this is the context in which we find ourselves when we consider Aimee's law. This is all just a little bit of history we have been dealing with to which not many people pay much attention. But it has to do with our basic constitutional structure. It has to do with the fundamental question in this country and, I think, our fundamental job; that is, What should the Federal Government do, or what should Government do, and at what level should Government do it? What is more fundamental than that? What is more important than that, as we hastily pass out and introduce these thousands of bills up here? If they sound good, do it -- all the while eroding a basic constitutional principle that we all claim we believe in.

So this Aimee's law came about because of another tragic set of circumstances. We have seen them: The dragging death in Texas, the drive-by shooting case in 1992, the situation that produced Aimee's law. There is always something in the headlines of a tragic nature in criminal law.

Under Aimee's law, if Tennessee, for example, tries somebody -- let's say for murder or rape -- and convicts them, and that person serves their sentence under State law, under Tennessee law, and then they are released, and that person goes to Kentucky and commits another similar criminal offense, here is where the Federal Government comes into play. The Attorney General does this calculation and says, basically, that unless Tennessee's law under which this guy was convicted provides for the average term of imprisonment of all the States -- you look at all the States and say: What is the average term of imprisonment for murder? -- if Tennessee has a little less than the average of all the other States, and he goes to Kentucky and kills somebody else, then Tennessee has to pay Kentucky to apprehend the guy, to try the guy, and to incarcerate him for however long Kentucky wants to incarcerate him.

Here we have a standard not that Congress has set. A lot of times we will say: We want everybody on the highways to be driving under the old .08 rule because we believe that ought to be the intoxication limit. We are going to withhold funds if you don't. It is a Federal standard. You can argue with it or you can agree with it.

What if Tennessee looks at it a little differently? They ought to have the right to have a little more stringent laws or a little more lenient laws. They have the people of Tennessee to answer to. They have their own legislature. They have their own Governor. These are things that Tennessee has been deciding for 200 years. If they do not do what the average of other States do, when it is totally within their prerogative, should they be penalized?

There are several problems with this law. Some of them are constitutional because it has ex post facto concerns. I do not know, for example, in reading this law, whether it intends to apply to people who have already been sentenced or whether it applies to people who will be sentenced after this law comes into effect.

I wish one or any of the sponsors of this bill would come to the floor and tell us whether or not the intent of this law is to have this law apply to people who have already been sentenced maybe 5 years ago, maybe 10 years ago. If so, then what can a State do about that to avoid being penalized the way I just described?

Secondly, if a person is still serving time, and the State knows it is going to be penalized if he is released under the State law because other States might have a little more stringent law, what is going to happen next time that person comes up to the parole board?

Or, better still, the question is, to the sponsors of this legislation: What about people who have already been convicted and already served their time and have been out of jail now for 15, 20 years, and they go to Kentucky and kill somebody else? Does this apply to them? If that is the case, there are thousands and thousands and thousands of people in every State who have been convicted of crimes and are now out of jail and going to other States. Are we going to go back and calculate what the average law provided for incarceration for all of those people? I think it is silent.

If the intent is, in fact, to catch all of those people and, if they do something else, have this law apply, it has ex post facto ramifications with regard to the State. You are not doing anything to the individual, but you are forcing the State to either lose money or to try to extend the time these people stay in jail.

Can you imagine the litigation you are going to have with regard to these parole board hearings, when a person apparently looks as though he is eligible for parole, but the parole board has discretion, and they know if they release this person, he is going to be one of these people caught under the law? Can you imagine the litigation that is going to come about as a result?

If, on the other hand, it is not meant to be ex post facto, if, in fact, this law only applies to those who are convicted of crimes after the effective date of this law, then this law is going to be a nullity for the most part, I imagine, for many years, if people serve out terms in prison for horrendous crimes.

This wouldn't be a direct lengthening, but it would certainly have a potential effect with regard to, for example, parole board activities. So not only do you have an ex post facto problem, you have a spending loss problem. The Supreme Court has held that Congress can withhold money, unless the States engage in the behavior that Congress wants them to as they receive the money. They don't have to take the money, but if they do, they have to take the strings attached to it. The Supreme Court has basically upheld that. The Supreme Court also said the conditions that the Federal Government places on the use of the money must be unambiguous. The States must know what they have to do in order to get this money.

I submit that under the present case, Aimee's law, the States could not tell what they have to do in order to get this money because they are always dealing with a moving target. If you remember what I said a while ago, the name of the game is for the States to keep ratcheting up their incarceration time so they are within the national average. If they fall below that for their own good purposes, whatever the reasons and circumstances -- they want to devote more money to prevention, or they want to devote more to rehabilitation instead of prisons, whatever their decisions might be -- if they fall a little below, they are going to lose their money. If they want to keep their money, how high are they supposed to raise their incarceration rates? Because by the time they change their law and raise their incarceration rates for these various offenses, other States, presumably, could be doing the same thing. You are always going toward a moving target. Each State is trying to outstrip each other, and each State, if it wants to keep its money and not have to pay for 40 or 50 years for somebody in another State -- their incarceration expense -- the safe thing for it to do is ratchet up the time. The safest thing for it to do would be to give life sentences without parole.

For some people, I think that is a good idea anyway. But is that something we ought to be forcing States to do with regard to any and all prisoners who come before them who are charged with this particular list of crimes? It is a list that this Congress has decided is the protected list -- not anything else, just this protected list. If the States don't comply, then they lose their Federal money. So the States can't tell what they are supposed to do in order to keep their money. It is a very ambiguous, bad piece of legislation.

There are policy reasons in addition to what I have described and in addition to the constitutional problems. It pits one State against another. We are supposed to be doing things to unify this country -- I thought. The Supreme Court and this Congress spends a lot of time and attention on implementing the commerce clause, designed to make sure there is the free flow of goods and people and information one State to another.

The Supreme Court strikes down laws that States might want which might say another State can't come in, or where they are trying to impose their will on another State outside their boundary. The commerce clause promotes a free flow of commerce, but under this particular law you are pitting one State against another, calculating to see if they can get some money from another State because they have a different criminal law than this other State had, and the Attorney General of the Federal Government is the referee and she keeps the books on all of that. That is a terrible idea.

Another policy reason is that Aimee's law defeats the very purpose that it is trying to carry out. Much of the money that will be withheld, if a State doesn't comply with this Federal mandate, will go for prisons. One of the reasons, presumably, why some States have to turn people out before we would like is because of a lack of prison space. They are getting this Federal money in order to help them with more prisons.

This is a very circular kind of situation the Federal Government is creating. We are cutting them off from money to do the very thing that is the reason we are cutting them off because they didn't do it in the first place. It makes no sense whatsoever. There is no additional inducement -- is the next policy reason -- under Aimee's law for the States -- other than to keep their Federal money -- for the States to comply with this Federal rule.

We are concerned about people getting out of jail and committing other crimes. We are all concerned about that. But seven out of eight crimes that are committed by people who have gotten out of jail happen in the States in which they were confined. So the State of Tennessee has every reason in the world to want to have laws that are reasonable for the protection of its own citizens and to keep people confined for a reasonable period of time for these crimes for the protection of their own citizens. Do they need any inducement because one out of eight might go somewhere else and commit a crime and that State might come back on them?

You have a situation here of particular crimes. Murder, as defined under Federal law, could mean anything from vehicular homicide on up. So, presumably, someone could be convicted of vehicular homicide in Tennessee and go to California and be convicted of first-degree murder; they are both murder under the meaning of this law. California could get Tennessee's Federal money to incarcerate this guy for the next however many years for murder when he was only convicted of vehicular homicide in Tennessee.

We tax the citizens of the States at a rate unprecedented since World War II. We put mandates on States with which we have been struggling, and we are trying to back off that a little bit. We have all of these regulations we put on the States. They have limited resources most years. They are doing a little better these days. They ought to have the right to decide for themselves -- the people who elect their officials -- how they use those resources.

If they want to spend more money for education, if they want to spend more money for health care, if in the criminal area they want to spend more money for prevention, if they want to spend more for rehabilitation, those are different things that different States are doing all across the country. We can see who has been successful and who has not been successful.

That is the reason we have States. That is the reason our Founding Fathers set up States. If we don't allow them to do that, what is the use of having them? Why do we have them? Why don't we just go ahead and pass a Federal law for everything and abrogate the States, if we don't need that kind of diversity and if we don't need that kind of experimentation?

The Federal Government would have States keep people -- let's say the elderly -- and have to make the tradeoff of using limited resources to keep people in jail who are, say, elderly and long past the time when you would think they would be dangerous to people, but keep them there on the off chance that they might get out and commit a crime in another State, and so forth. It doesn't make any sense.

This is simply an indirect attempt by the Federal Government -- by us, by the Congress -- to get States in a bidding war as to who can pass the most stringent laws in all of these areas. That is OK in and of itself. But it shouldn't be done because we are threatening them to do it. We think we have the answers to these problems, and we don't.

There is so much we do not know about what causes crime -- why young people commit crimes, what the best solution is, and so forth. My own view is that we should spend a lot more time, money, and research, and we should spend a lot more time, money, and effort in finding out what is going on in these various communities around the country with the various approaches communities and States have had and the various kinds of problems. It is very complex and very controversial. But that doesn't stop us. Last time I checked, we had 132 programs on juvenile crime alone at the Federal level without a clue as to whether or not any of them are working or doing any good. My guess is that some of them are probably counterproductive.

A lot of people want to pass, as a part of a bill, to have youthful offenders sentenced as adults. In some cases, if States want to do that, that is fine with me. But we were going to impose a requirement that all States sentence youthful offenders as adults within certain categories until we found out that the way it plays out in some cases is they would get less time as an adult than they would in a juvenile facility.

We have seen the benefit of a system our Founding Fathers established over and over and over again. This is not just textbook stuff. It has to do with power, and the use of power, and who is going to use power, and how concentrated you want it. It has to do with innovation. It has to do with experimentation. It has to do with good competition among the States. We have seen welfare reform, education choice, competitive tax policies, and public-private partnerships all thrive at the State level. Good things are happening.
