The Captive Exotic Animal Protection Act would make it illegal to knowingly transfer, transport, or possess in interstate commerce of foreign commerce, a confined exotic mammal for the purposes of allowing the killing or injuring of that animal for entertainment or for the collection of a trophy. The bill protects exotic mammals that have been held in captivity for the shorter of a. the greater part of the animal's life, or b. a period of one year, whether or not the defendant knew the length of the captivity. This bill is intended to prevent the cruel and unsporting practice of what we have come to know as "canned hunts." Words cannot describe a "canned" hunt. The images that I have seen, footage taken surreptitiously at these ranches, provides evidence that the treatment of these animals is troubling. Today, at more than 1,000 commercial canned hunt operations across the country, trophy hunters pay a fee to shoot captive exotic animals, from African lions to giraffes, blackbuck antelope, assorted African goats and sheep, a Corsican ram, or a boar, in fenced-in enclosures. The hunting of these animals typically occurs in a fenced enclosure and is often in a "guaranteed kill" arrangement meaning that a hunter by virtue of the fact that he has paid his fee is assured of a kill.

Now hunting is a sport and if you ask any of the hunters in my home State of Delaware or elsewhere about this they will tell you that there is an ethic of hunting that involves consideration of fair chase, affording the animal the opportunity to evade or elude the hunter. Canned hunts, in fenced-in enclosures, weigh the odds so heavily in favor of the hunters that it essentially eliminates the fair chase component. In addition, these animals on hunting ranches are often fed by hand, in a sense domesticated, and have little or no fear of humans. They don't run when they see a human being in front of them. This practice is unfair and unsportsmanlike.

But it is not just about the fact that this practice is inhumane, there are also other concerns. Clustered in a captive setting at unusually high densities, confined exotic animals often attract disease more readily than more widely dispersed native species who roam freely. These exotics then interact with native species through fences, jeopardizing the health of deer, elk, and other native species. Animal disease places hunting programs and wildlife watching programs, that generate millions of dollars in economic activity, at risk.

While a number of States have taken action to prohibit the practice of canned hunts, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, North Carolina, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming have passed such statutes, that is only a small segment of the country. Unfortunately, the regulation of the transport and treatment of exotic animals on shooting preserves falls outside the traditional domains of State agriculture departments and State fish and games agencies. The Captive Exotic Animal Protection Act is specifically designed to address this problem, which directly involves an issue of interstate commerce.

This is sensible legislation that is backed by responsible hunters, animal protection advocates, wildlife scientists, environmentalists and zoological professionals. The Boone and Crockett Club and the Izaak Walton League of America, nationally recognized hunting clubs, have policy positions affirmatively opposing canned hunts. In addition, this legislation is supported by the Humane Society of the United States, the Doris Day Animal League, the Fund for Animals, and the Animal Protection Institute.

I want to say to my colleagues who may have questions about this legislation that the Captive Exotic Animal Protection Act is limited in its scope and purpose and will not limit the licensed hunting of any native mammals or any native or exotic birds. The bill is directed at true "canned" hunts and covers only exotic mammals, or those not historically indigenous to the United States. Birds, native or non- native, and indigenous mammals, such as white tail deer and bears, are not covered by the bill. This legislation is a federal remedy and proposed specifically to deal with the purely commercial interstate movement of exotic animals destined to be killed at canned hunting ranches.

Madam President, I am proud today to introduce the Veterans Benefits Administration Improvement Act of 2001, a bill that aims to decrease the amount of time it takes the Veterans Benefits Administration, VBA, to process veterans' claims. I am pleased to be joined by the senior Senator from Utah, Senator Hatch. He had long been a strong advocate for our veterans.

In 1999, there were 309,000 backlogged claims at the VBA. Today, that number stands at 533,000. It now takes an average of 202 days to process disability compensation and pension claims. This figure is expected to grow to more than 270 days by 2002. Many of the claims that are awaiting action have been filed by World War II and Korean War veterans; our World War II veterans are dying at the rate of about 1,500 a day. The VBA must take action to improve this dismal record.

I have traveled throughout Wisconsin and met with veterans. This problem is consistently one of their top concerns. They are angry and frustrated, with justification, about the amount of time it takes for the VBA to process their claims. In some instances, veterans are waiting well over a year. Telling the men and women who served their country in the armed forces that they "just have to wait" is wrong and unacceptable.

The VBA Improvement Act will require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to submit a comprehensive plan to Congress for the improvement of the processing of claims for veterans compensation and pension. In addition, every six months afterwards the Secretary must report to Congress about the status of the program.

While I am pleased that Secretary Principi has acknowledged that improving claims processing is a priority for the VA, nevertheless it is time for Congress to hold the Department of Veterans Affairs accountable. Our veterans are unable to wait for additional recommendations from more reports or task forces. It is time for Congress to hold the VA accountable. Our veterans deserve no less.

The last seven weeks have been difficult for all Americans. By nature, we Americans are tough. But many of us, myself included, are also a little more anxious than usual. That is understandable. But what is not understandable, in fact what is barely conceivable, is that some people think it is funny to take advantage of that fear.

Wasting law enforcement's time and resources by committing terrorist hoaxes takes away from their ability to protect us. So in many ways, committing a terrorist hoax is an extension of terrorism itself.

In the first three weeks of October alone, the FBI has responded to more than 3,300 cases relating to weapons of mass destruction, including 2,500 threat assessments involving suspected anthrax incidents. Normally, they deal with 250 of these cases in an entire year. The last thing the FBI and the police have time for is a terrorist hoax.

In Nassau County, on October 16, a Federal Express deliveryman placed a white powdery substance inside a computer package. That led to an understandably frantic phone call. Seven officers and three vehicles were dispatched in response to this anthrax hoax.

An apparent hoax diverted a Dallas-bound American Airlines flight from New York's LaGuardia Airport to Washington, DC's Dulles Airport on October 29 after a threatening note was found on board. The passengers and flight crew were all forced to evacuate on the runway. The impact on the entire airport's operations were disrupted, and the entire national air traffic control system had to deal with this.

On October 17, a 17-year-old brought an envelope with the words "Death to All Who Open This" to Kingston High School in the Hudson Valley. The envelope contained white, powdery material. According to school officials, approximately 3,000 students and staff were held in lock-down for 90 minutes while some 50 local police, fire, and emergency response personnel assessed the situation.

My hope is that by sending a strong message today and in the weeks to come, those who are thinking about committing a terrorist hoax will think twice before diverting the police and FBI from focusing all of their time and energy on protecting us from real threats, and before another hoax puts us on edge, yet again.

Madam President, I rise today to discuss a distressing problem facing our citizens, our Nation's law enforcement officers, and our public health officials. This problem is the growing threat of bioterrorism and other weapons of mass destruction -- both real and perceived.

The recent bioterrorist attacks affecting the media, Congress, and the U.S. Postal Service have spawned a great number of anthrax hoaxes across the Nation. These hoaxes, aside from adding to the widespread public panic over terrorism, have created another serious problem: They are taxing our already strained emergency management and public health resources, which are vital to protect our national security.

Suprisingly, there is no existing Federal code that directly prohibits biological, chemical, or nuclear weapon hoaxes. Therefore, there is no Federal law that directly punishes the current anthrax hoaxes. These acts waste scarce Federal resources, negatively affecting interstate commerce and national security interests. Yet, there is no Federal law on the books to prosecute these offenders.

In all likelihood, the current anthrax hoaxes will be prosecuted under a provision for "mailing threatening communications" or threatening the "use of certain weapons of mass destruction," 18 USC 876, 2332a. The problem with prosecuting the anthrax hoaxes under these statutes is that they require the prosecutor to prove that the offender has crossed a threshold of threatening language. But what constitutes sufficiently threatening language?

Unfortunately, not all of these hoaxes meet this threshold. For example, under current law, it is difficult to prosecute the acts of an eighth-grade science teacher in Ohio. This teacher placed powered lime in a school envelope and attempted to mail it through the postal system to her brother in another city. The envelope was found en route at the school, before it could leave the building. The school was evacuated, frightening hundreds of already shaken children and parents. Emergency management teams wasted valuable time and resources testing the site.

Right now, this woman faces a State charge of inducing panic. That is it; no other charges are pending. There is no clear Federal law on the books to prosecute her offense, because there was no threat. Had there been an actual incident where anthrax was released while police and emergency crews were tied up looking into this hoax, who knows how widespread the damage could have been. Many people could have been infected in the time that it took emergency crews to clear up this "joke." So far, the U.S. Postal Service reports that it has evacuated over 353 postal facilities for varying amounts of time as a result of more than 8,600 hoaxes, threats, and suspicious incidents related to anthrax since just mid-October. That is an average of 578 a day for an agency used to dealing with only a few hundred such calls a year. In my home State of Ohio, alone, health officials have tested nearly 800 suspicious specimens from around the State, but have found no anthrax or other dangerous substances. A significant number of those reports appear to have been hoaxes. On a national scale, the financial and physical strain imposed by hoaxes on our national law enforcement and public health systems have been enormous. In regard to our citizens, these pranks cause great panic and are really acts of terrorism.

That is why, along with my colleagues, Senator Schumer and Ranking Member Hatch, I have introduced a bill that would create a new crime for hoaxes involving the purported use of a weapon of mass destruction. This bill will prohibit any conduct that gives the false impression that a biological, chemical, or nuclear weapon may be used, when it is reasonable to assume that there will be an emergency response. The required conduct may involve the communication of information, whether in written or verbal form, as well as physical actions. Under our bill, there is no legal burden to identify a specific threat. For example, we would be able to prosecute someone who mails an envelope of white powder with a note that says, "Smile, you have been exposed to anthrax." Furthermore, anyone convicted under this bill would be responsible for the reimbursement of expenses incurred in responding to a hoax, including the cost of any response by any Federal military or civilian agency to protect public health or safety during the course of an investigation. Convicted cohorts also would share in financial liability for such a hoax.

The Ohio Department of Health, alone, has spent more than $500,000 of the taxpayers' money investigating false anthrax claims -- a large percentage of which were hoaxes. This bill would discourage hoaxes, while helping to alleviate the financial burden that these pranks and false reports are imposing on our Federal, State, and local government agencies.

It is indeed shocking that some people want to capitalize on the recent horrific acts of terrorism in order to play a joke or intentionally cause widespread panic, or worse, inflict physical harm. Unfortunately, this is the reality we confront today. To deal with this threat, we need to give our Federal Government the necessary tools to prosecute those who would stage these hoaxes and disrupt the sense of normalcy that we have all struggled to recover since September 11th.

To date, 17 people have confirmed anthrax infections, four of whom died from inhalation anthrax. This toll, though tragic, could have grown exponentially if the perpetrators had used a more sophisticated delivery system.

Despite anthrax's and other agents' potential for weaponization, our government does not keep track of who possesses them. No special certification is required to possess these agents. Nor are background checks conducted on the laboratory personnel who handle or have access to these agents.

The legislation I am introducing expands upon the antiterrorism bill Congress passed and the President signed just days ago. That bill prohibited an individual from possessing anthrax or other potential weapons of bioterror unless the individual could show legitimate purpose for holding the substance once caught. This standard of "legitimate purpose;' is not defined, and will put the burden on courts and law enforcement to determine what a "legitimate purpose" is.

During a hearing in the Technology and Terrorism Subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee yesterday, it became clear to those of us on the committee that law enforcement does not know who has anthrax, where it is stored, or what is being done with it.

Madam President, I rise today to introduce the Protection Against Terrorist Hoaxes Act of 2001. I am honored to have the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, Senator Hatch, as an original co- sponsor of this legislation. This bill would amend title 18 of the United States Code to, for the first time, make it a Federal crime to knowingly make a hoax report, involving a biological, chemical, nuclear weapon, or other weapon of mass destruction. Likewise, it would make it a criminal offense to knowingly send such a hoax weapon to another.

Since the unspeakable terrorist attacks of September 11, our nation has witnessed a mind-boggling number of anthrax hoax reports. This in turn has triggered an equally large number of reports of suspected biological agents. No part of the Nation has been spared, and my home State of Delaware has had several hundred reports of possible biological agents. Just this week, the FBI reported to Congress the staggering statistic involving these bioterrorism hoaxes and other reports of suspected biological agents. Prior to September 11, the FBI had responded to about 100 cases involving potential use of "weapons of mass destruction," 67 of which involved alleged biological weapons. Since mid-September, however, that number has increased by 3,000 percent! As of today, the FBI reported that they have responded to 7,089 suspicious anthrax letters alone, 950 incidents involving other suspected weapons of mass destruction, and an estimated 29,331 telephonic calls from the public about suspicious packages.

The good news is that most of these reports were hoaxes, or reports made by well-meaning people whose suspicions were raised. The bad news is that any hoax reports were made in the first place, triggering panic on the part of the public, and often forcing the Federal, state, and local governments to waste valuable time and resources responding to them. In one particularly egregious case, it has been reported that an employee of the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection falsely reported to security that he had found a yellowish-white powder on his desk with the misspelled label "ANTHAX." The employee, a 48- year-old solid waste management analyst, knew the material was not toxic, it was determined to be coffee creamer, but persisted in the false account. 800 State employees were evacuated from the building for 2 days while law enforcement officials tested the building, at a cost of $1.5 million in lost workers' time, another $40,000 in decontamination costs, and an undisclosed amount of money spent on rescue and law enforcement. The employee is being charged in Federal court, not for the hoax report, but for lying to Federal officials after the fact.

Indeed, the Justice Department reported to Congress this week that there is a gap in the existing Federal law regarding the prosecution of bioterrorism hoaxes. That is, while it is a crime to threaten to use, for example, anthrax as a weapon against another person, it is not a crime to make a hoax anthrax report. Accordingly, the Justice Department called upon Congress this week to enact legislation which specifically addresses hoaxes which involve purported biological substances, as well as chemical, nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction.

We should answer that call and act now to give the law enforcement the tools they need to combat these despicable crimes. I introduced a bioterrorism bill, S. 3202, in the 106th Congress which contained an anti-hoax provision. Had that bill been enacted into law, Federal prosecutors would have the means to prosecute bioterrorism hoaxes. The need for a Federal anti-hoax provision has never been more clear than in the last several weeks. The Federal interest is indisputable, as States and localities are simply not equipped with the expertise or resources to evaluate and respond to these hoaxes. A comprehensive prohibition on such false reports is necessary to preserve scarce and vital federal resources.

Accordingly, as chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Drugs, I introduce a bill today which contains both criminal provisions and civil penalties for the hoax reporting of bioterrorism incidents. My bill simply says that if you knowingly engage in conduct, such as deliberately sending baking powder through the mail to your Congressman or calling 911 to falsely report the presence of anthrax in a public building, that is likely to create the false impression concerning the presence of anthrax, or other similar things, that you have committed a Federal offense, punishable by up to 5 years in jail. Moreover, such a person may be fined the greater of either $10,000 or the amount of money expended by the government to respond to the false information. Finally, such a person may also be ordered to reimburse the government if costs were incurred in responding to the false hoax. Let me be clear, this bill will not target innocent mistakes or people who make a report concerning a suspected substance; it is aimed, rather, at deliberate hoax reports by those who know they are spreading false information.

Madam President, I rise to introduce the Anti-Terrorist Hoax and False Report Act of 2001. The bill would provide a new tool for law enforcement to deal with the problem of serious hoaxes and malicious false reports relating to the use of weapons of mass destruction, or biological, chemical, or nuclear weapons. These so- called "hoaxes" inflict both mental and economic damage on victims. They drain away scarce law enforcement resources from the investigation of real terrorist activity. They interrupt vital communication facilities. Finally, they feed a public fear that the vast majority of law abiding Americans are working hard to dispel.

Federal, State, and local law enforcement already have statutes which they have been using aggressively to prosecute those who have taken advantage of these times to perpetrate hoaxes about anthrax contamination. Existing statutes create serious penalties for threats to use biological, chemical, or nuclear weapons, for sending any threatening communication through the mail, or for making a willful false statement to federal authorities.

For example 18 U.S.C. Sec. Sec. 175, 229, 2332a, and 831 all have their own threat provisions punishable by up to life imprisonment. In addition, 18 U.S.C. Sec. 876 makes it a five year felony to mail a threatening communication of any type; and 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1001 makes it a five year felony to willfully make any false statement, or even willfully omit a material fact in a matter under the jurisdiction of a federal agency.

In a recent Subcommittee hearing of the Judiciary Committee, James T. Caruso, the Deputy Assistant Director of the FBI's Counter-terrorism Division, stated that there are at least 11 Federal hoax cases which have actually been charged under existing statutes since September 11, 2001. Just last week a Federal conviction was obtained in Oakland, California under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 175, which carries a statutory maximum penalty of life imprisonment, for an anthrax hoax which occurred back in January of 1999. Thus, existing Federal statutes are already being employed to prosecute these cases when Federal prosecution is appropriate. In addition, numerous State provisions are available and are being used to prosecute these cases at the State and local level.

Indeed, current Federal threat laws do not require that the defendant have either the intent or present ability to carry out a threat, which enables prosecutors to use such laws to prosecute these serious hoaxes. At the same terrorism hearing, Deputy Assistant Director Caruso made it clear that authorities are able to prosecute even "non-credible" threats under current Federal laws. However, while they carry high penalties, including a maximum of life imprisonment, at the same hearing James Reynolds, from the Department of Justice's Section on Terrorism and Violent Crime, indicated that these statutes can sometimes be awkward when applied in the hoax context.

What this bill provides, is a well tailored statute that deals specifically with the problem of biological, chemical, mass destruction, and nuclear "hoaxes", that is, actions taken with the malicious intent to deceive the victim. For instance, it gives prosecutors a means to distinguished between a person who is actually threatening to use anthrax on a victim on one hand, and a person who never intends to use it, but truly wants the victim or the police to think they have done so, on the other. In the later case the statute creates a new five year felony.

The bill requires that the defendant act "knowingly and maliciously," so that we do not federalize juvenile pranks or the misguided though innocent spreading of rumors. For instance, a local prosecutor in Chicago recently placed an envelope containing sugar on a colleague's desk. He was administratively punished by being forced to resign from his job. In Utah, a disabled miner was charged locally because he put sugar and Nesquik into a junk mail envelope. In Anne Arundel County, MD, two juveniles were arrested after they placed powder in an envelope and did not even mail it, but it was found by someone else and reported, engendering an unintended emergency response. In Ohio, a security guard "super-glued" a telephone in a county welfare building, and when the glue left a powdery residue it caused a anthrax scare. In Williamsport, PA a firefighter is being prosecuted locally on a felony charge for claiming that he received a letter containing white powder at his home. These types of incidents do not merit a lengthy term in Federal prison. As the examples I have listed above demonstrate, we have appropriately serious ways to deal with cases when Federal criminal prosecution is not needed.

Indeed, law enforcement agencies or private companies of the conduct "readiness testing" so that they will be able to deal with serious chemical or biological weapon threats. For instance, three weeks ago a Kentucky sheriff conducted such a readiness drill by leaving an envelope filled with crushed aspirin on a desk at a county courthouse in order to test the response. Requiring a malicious mens rea will ensure also that we do not criminalize or chill this type of admirable proactive effort. In sum, malicious acts deserve Federal felony prosecution; innocent bad judgment and juvenile behavior do not, and neither do laudable efforts by police and private actors to preserve readiness for biological or chemical attack.

Another provision in the bill would provide for mandatory restitution to any victim of these crimes, including the costs of any and all government response to the hoax. An earlier Administration proposal, offered during the debate over the terrorism bill, would have limited such restitution to only the federal government. As we know all too well from recent events, however, it is state and local authorities, along with private victims, who are often the first responders and primary victims when these incidents occur. This bill would provide a mechanism so that they too can be reimbursed for their expenses.

Madam President, I rise to introduce a modified version of my Nuclear Energy Electricity Supply Assurance Act of 2001. When I first introduced this measure, S. 472, it contained a provision known as Section 127, relating to special demonstration projects for the uranium mining industry.

This section was intended to create cooperative, cost-shared, agreements between the Department of Energy and the domestic uranium industry to identify, test, and develop improved in-situ leaching mining technologies. In addition, I intended that this initiative apply to low-cost environmental restoration that may be applied to sites after completion of in-situ leaching operations. Finally, Sec. 127 was intended to fund competitively-selected demonstration projects with the domestic uranium mining industry relating to enhanced production with improved environmental protection, restoration of well fields, and decommissioning and decontamination activities.

I believe that the intent and spirit of Sec. 127 still have substantial merit. I hope that we can provide incentives for improved mining techniques and improved environmental restoration. However, Sec. 127 was subject to substantial mis-interpretation, especially among many people in the Navajo Nation in northwest New Mexico. It was claimed that this Section was directed toward helping a single company that might use it to expand in-situ mining near the Navajo Nation's borders. It was further claimed that such an approach might over a long period of time contaminate drinking water in the area.

At no time was my bill intended to help any specific company. At no time did we intend anything other than improving environmental restoration and giving some hope to the domestic uranium industry that it might find an environmentally sound way to produce more domestic product.

However, after discussing this issue with the president of the Navajo Nation and other members of the nation, I have decided that the best course, in order to put to rest all of the concerns expressed, is to simply strike Section 127 from my bill. I should add that some members of the Navajo Nation supported Section 127; but, the clear message from my friends on the Navajo Nation is that they would prefer, in order to avoid any confusion, that I delete Section 127 from my bill.

Madam President, today I reintroduce legislation to clarify rules governing the takeover of U.S. Telecommunications providers by companies owned by foreign governments. The original rules in this area were established by statute in the 1930s, and while the law has not changed, the FCC's interpretations of this statute has.

Every year, our Nation transports 4 billion tons of hazardous materials via 800,000 shipments. In 2000, there were 17,347 hazardous materials incidents related to transportation in the United States: 1,419 via air transportation, 14,861 via highway transportation, 1,052 via railway transportation, and 15 via water transportation. These incidents are mostly minor releases of chemicals; 244 incidents caused injuries, and there were 13 deaths, 12 deaths via highway transportation, and 1 death via railway transportation. Of course, one death is too many. That is why we must recommit ourselves to the protection of the brave workers who take on the risks of transporting these dangerous materials and the communities in which these products are produced and through which they are moved.

I am concerned about several provisions of the administration plan, including one that would effectively eliminate the authority of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, OSHA, to protect workers that handle and transport hazardous materials. It is important that workers are protected and appropriate standards for the handling of hazardous materials are established, including rules for personal protective equipment and the monitoring of exposure levels and medical conditions. Protecting the people that handle and transport these hazardous materials must remain paramount.

The proposed legislation also increases from 2 to 4 years the time between reviews for exemptions from hazardous materials regulations. In our current security environment, creating more exemptions from hazardous materials regulations may not be the most prudent course of action. We also must maintain funding for non-profit organizations to train workers in the handling of hazardous materials.

On another matter, the Administration plan also would repeal some of the requirements Congress has placed on the Department of Transportation in managing these hazardous materials programs. I would caution the Transportation Department not to seek repeal of the requirements and actions that we in Congress have requested of them. We mandated those actions for a reason, and we expect that they will be carried out.

As I work with my colleagues to write a hazardous materials reauthorization bill, we will take into account the recently exposed vulnerabilities of hazardous materials to terrorist attacks. The 1,000 pages of Federal Hazardous Materials Transportation Regulations were designed primarily to promote safety during transportation, not to ensure security and reduce risks from terrorist attacks. Unattended parked vehicles and routing are just two examples of the security concerns associated with the transportation of hazardous materials. We are considering a range of options to address these security threats. We also must increase funding for training local emergency response units to handle hazardous materials accidents.

Madam President, I am pleased to join Chairman Hollings in introducing the Hazardous Materials Transportation Safety reauthorization Act of 2001 at the request of the Administration. This measure is a good start toward improving and strengthening the safe and secure transport of our nation's hazardous materials. In addition to authorizing funding for hazardous materials transportation safety programs, this legislation addresses concerns arising since the attacks of September 11. Among other things, this bill would strengthen the authority of Department of Transportation (DOT) inspectors to inspect packages being transported, and provide those inspectors with the authority to stop unsafe transportation. This measure would also increase the maximum civil penalty for violations of hazardous materials regulations from $27,500 to $100,000. It would expand the requirements for training persons involved in the transportation of hazardous materials and strengthen the enforcement authority of State enforcement officials.

The hazardous materials transportation safety program reauthorization is long overdue. The most recent authorization expired September 30, 1998. Since then, attempts at reauthorization have failed due to objections within Congress and an inability to reach an agreement on certain proposals with the former administration. Now, however, it is appropriate to attempt to move forward and address identified safety problems and improve safety for all Americans. I am hopeful that the Senate will act quickly to take the necessary action to improve hazardous materials transportation safety before we are forced to respond to another attack making use of our nation's transportation system.

Annually, more than four billion tons of hazardous materials -- about 800,000 shipments daily -- are transported by land, sea, and air in the United States. Among these materials are flammable liquids, combustible solids, gases, and corrosive materials. Despite the wide variety and amount of shipments, the hazardous materials transportation industry has a notable safety record, due in large part to the safety efforts of the individuals and companies involved in transporting these materials. In 1999, for instance, there were five hazardous materials related fatalities, down from thirteen in 1998 and twelve in 1997. However, in light of the attacks of September 11, it is more important than ever to reauthorize this important program. Reauthorization should include new authority for enforcement officials and clarify existing authority for the federal agencies that administer the programs responsible for hazardous materials transportation safety.

The Federal Government has four roles related to hazardous materials transportation: regulation, enforcement, emergency response, and data collection and analysis. The DOT performs the largest role of establishing and enforcing Hazmat regulations, while the Research and Special Program Administration (RSPA), and to a lesser extent other agencies within the Department, are charged with more specific roles.

RSPA is responsible for the regulation and identification of hazardous materials including hazardous materials handling and shipments, the development of container standards and testing procedures, the inspection and enforcement of multimodal shippers and container manufacturers, and for data collection. This legislation would provide authority to RSPA to continue its hazardous materials safety activities. In addition, the measure would grant the United States Postal Service (USPS) similar authority to DOT and its agencies to collect civil penalties and recover costs and damages for violations of its hazardous materials regulations.

With this bill, jurisdiction between the DOT and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) would be clarified as it pertains to hazardous materials transportation. Dual jurisdiction over handling criteria registration, and motor carrier safety would be eliminated, leaving DOT with sole jurisdiction over these programs. Hazardous materials transportation employee training and occupational safety and health protection of employees responding to a release of hazardous materials would remain under the jurisdiction of both DOT and OSHA.

I hope this Congress will act expeditiously to approve comprehensive hazardous materials transportation safety legislation. We simply cannot afford another missed opportunity to address transportation safety shortcomings. We must do all we can to ensure the safe transport of these materials, including providing the needed resources to the agencies charged with oversight of this industry. The Administration is correct in asking Congress to address hazardous materials transportation reauthorization. I will be working with Chairman Hollings and look forward to hearings in the near future to address this important reauthorization proposal.
