Mr. President, the University of Alaska, the University, is Alaska's oldest post-secondary school. The University was chartered prior to statehood and has played a vital role in educating Alaskans as well as students from around the world. But the University of Alaska is also an important asset for our Nation. Today it provides a leadership role in Arctic Science and Arctic Engineering Research. Bringing Arctic energy to the Nation has required new breakthroughs in technology and engineering and our need to better understand global climate change has placed a high value of studying the Arctic where climate changes are most easily detected.

Additionally, the University has served as an important cornerstone in Alaska's history. For example, the University housed the Alaska Constitutional Convention where the fathers of statehood carved out the rights and privilege guaranteed to Alaska's citizens. Further, the University of Alaska is proud of the fact that it began life as the Alaska Agricultural and Mining College. However, what makes the University of Alaska truly unique is the fact that it is the only land grant college in the Nation that is virtually landless.

As my colleagues know, one of the oldest and most respected ways of financing America's educational system has been the land grant system. Established in 1785, this practice gives land to schools and universities for their use in supporting their educational endeavors. In 1862, Congress passed the Morrill Act which created the land grant colleges and universities as a way to underwrite the cost of higher education to more and more Americans. These colleges and universities received land from the Federal Government for facility location and, more importantly, as a way to provide sustaining revenues to these educational institutions.

The University of Alaska received the smallest amount of land of any State, with the exception of Delaware, that has a land grant college. Even the land grant college in Rhode Island received more land from the Federal Government than has the University of Alaska. In a state the size of Alaska, we should logically have one of the best and most fully funded land grant colleges in the country. Unfortunately, without the land promised under the land grant allocation system and earlier legislation, the University is unable to share as one of the premier land grant colleges in the country.

Previous efforts in Congress were made to fix this problem. These efforts date back to 1915, less than 50 years after the passage of the Morrill Act, when Alaska's Delegate James Wickersham shepherded a measure through Congress that set aside potentially more than a quarter of a million acres, in the Tanana Valley outside of Fairbanks, for the support of an agricultural college and school of mines. Following the practice established in the lower 48 for other land grant colleges, Wickersham's bill set aside every Section 33 of the unsurveyed Tanana Valley for the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines. Alaska's educational future looked very bright.

Many Alaskans saw the opportunity to set up an endowment system similar to that established by the University of Washington in the downtown center of Seattle, where valuable University lands are leased and provide funding for the University of Washington which uses those revenues in turn to provide for its programs and facilities.

Before that land could be transferred to the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines, renamed the University of Alaska in 1935, the land had to be surveyed in order to establish the exact acreage included in the reserved land. The sections reserved for education could not be transferred to the College until they had been delineated. According to records of the time, it was unlikely, given the incredibly slow speed of surveying, that the land could be completely surveyed before the 21st century. Surveying was and is an extraordinarily slow process in Alaska's remote and unpopulated terrain. In all, only 19 sections of land, approximately 11,211 acres, were ever transferred to the University. Of this amount, 2,250 were used for the original campus and the remainder was left to support educational opportunities.

Recognizing the difficulties of surveying in Alaska, subsequent legislation was passed in 1929 that simply granted land for the benefit of the University. This grant totaled approximately 100,000 acres and to this day comprises the bulk of the University's roughly 112,000 acres of land, less than one-third of what it was originally promised. In 1958, the Alaska Statehood Act was passed which extinguished the original land grants for all lands that remained unsurveyed. Thus, the University was left with little land with which to support itself and thus is unable to completely fulfill its mission as a land grant college.

The legislation I am introducing today would redeem the promises made to the University in 1915 and put it on an even footing with the other land grant colleges in the United States. The bill provides the University with the land needed to support itself financially and offers it the chance to grow and continue to act as a responsible steward of the land and educator of our young people. The legislation also provides a concrete timetable under which the University must select its lands and the Secretary of the Interior must act upon those selections.

This legislation also contains significant restrictions on the land the University can select. The University cannot select land located within a Conservation System Unit. The University cannot select old growth timber lands in the Tongass National Forest. Finally, the University cannot select land validly conveyed to the State or an ANCSA corporation, or land used in connection with federal or military institutions.

Additionally, under my bill the University must relinquish extremely valuable inholdings in Alaska once it receives its State/Federal selection awarded under Section 2 of this bill. Therefore, the result of this legislation will mean the relinquishment of prime University inholdings in such magnificent areas as the Alaska Peninsula & Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, The Kenai Fjords National Park, Wrangell St. Elias National Park and Preserve, and Glacier Bay National Park. So, not only does this bill uphold a decades old promise to the University of Alaska, it provides the Secretary of the Interior the opportunity to acquire thousands of acres of inholdings that will further protect Alaska's parks and refuges.

Specifically, this Section 2 of the bill would grant to the University up to 250,000 acres of federal land. Additionally, Section 5 of the bill establishes a matching program so that the University would be eligible to receive up to an additional 250,000 acres on a matching basis, acre-for-acre, with the State. This, obviously, would be done through the state legislative process involving the Governor, the Legislature, and the University's Board of Regents. The State matching provision is an important component of this legislation. Most agree with the premise that the University was shorted land. However, some believe it is solely the responsibility of the State to grant the University land. The legislation I am introducing today offers a compromise giving both the State and the Federal Government the opportunity to contribute while at the same time providing the Federal Government with thousands of aces of valuable inholdings in parks and refuges.

Finally, this bill contains a provision that incorporates a concept put forth by the Governor of Alaska. This provision directs the Secretary of the Interior to attempt to conclude an agreement with the University and the Governor of Alaska providing for sharing NPRA leasing revenues in lieu of land selections to prevent the University from obtaining more than ten percent of such annual revenues or more than nine million dollars each fiscal year. If an agreement is reached and provides for disposition of some portion of NPRA mineral leasing revenues to the University, the Secretary shall submit the proposed agreement to Congress for ratification. If the Secretary fails to reach an agreement within two years of enactment, or if Congress fails to ratify such agreement within three years from enactment, the University may select up to 92,000 of its 250,000 initial land grant from lands within NPRA north of latitude 69.

Therefore, this bill has been substantially changed from versions introduced in previous Congresses in two dramatic ways. First, in response to concerns from the Administration and environmental organizations the old growth areas of the Tongass National Forest are off limits for selection by the University. The only areas of the Tongass that could be selected by the University are those areas previously harvested. It is important that the University be allowed to select lands in this area as having the ability to study and manage as such areas are important tools for the University's School of Forestry.

The second substantial change to the bill, which was previously noted, is the revenue sharing component. This aspect provides an alternative means of providing for the needs of the University. With the passage of this bill, the University of Alaska will finally be able to act fully as a land grant college. It will be able to select lands that can provide the University with a stable revenue source as well as provide responsible stewardship for the land.

This is an exciting time for the University of Alaska. The promise that was made more than 80 years ago could be fulfilled by passage of this legislation, and Alaskans could look forward to a very bright future for the University of Alaska and those seeking an education or to conduct research.

Mr. President, today I would like to discuss the financial burden faced by many of the men and women who serve in the military Reserves or National Guard and who are forced to take unpaid leave from their jobs when called to active duty. While these individuals receive pay for the time they are on active duty, it is often significantly less than what they receive in their normal jobs. It is unfair to ask the men and women who have volunteered to serve their country, often in dangerous situation, to also face a financial strain on their families.

A number of employers have wisely acted to remedy this hardship by establishing a financial compensation plan for their employees in the Reserves or National Guard. In response to the recent terrorist attacks of September 11, the Netherlands-based ABN AMRO Bank N.V., one of the world's largest banks, has set up a special pay differential program to provide their employees in the Reserves and National Guard compensation equaling the income they would normally have to forfeit when called to active duty. LaSalle Bank, a subsidiary of ABN AMRO in Chicago, has already seen this program help 12 reservists in its ranks. The spokesperson for LaSalle described the program as something the company wanted to do "to be supportive of the country's efforts".

Let us take similar action in Washington and set an example for employers throughout the country. Today, I am introducing with my colleague from Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski, the Reservist Pay Security Act of 2001, legislation that will help alleviate the financial problems faced by many Federal employees who serve in the Reserves and must take time off from their jobs when called to active duty. This bill would allow these employees to maintain their normal salary when called to active service by requiring Federal agencies to make up the difference between their military pay and what they would have earned on their Federal job.

As the symbol of American values and ideals, the Federal Government should give these special employees of our government more than just words of support. We should not encourage Americans to protect their country and then punish those who enlist in the armed forces by taking away a large segment of the salary. We must provide our reservist employees with financial support so that they can leave their civilian lives to serve in the military without worrying about the financial well-being of their families.

Joe Biden
Mr. President, today I am introducing legislation, along with Senators Sessions, Cleland, Cochran, and Dayton that simply ensures that personnel serving in Korea get the same tax benefits as personnel serving in other forward deployed areas of the world such as Kuwait and the Balkans. I am hoping that this legislation can be added to the economic stimulus package, but if not, I want to make other Senators aware of the need to take this action for the brave men and women serving in Korea.

We cannot fix all of the quality of life problems in Korea overnight, but we can at least provide basic equity in the tax treatment of military personnel who serve there so that they get the same benefits those in Kuwait and the Balkans get.

While we have representatives of every service in Korea, the bulk of our force is from the Army. Seventeen percent of the entire Army is stationed in, on orders to, or returning from the Republic of Korea at any given time. That's about 37,000 soldiers.

Unlike most Army postings, which tend to be for six months, ninety- six percent of those stationed in Korea are there for at least one year of unaccompanied duty. In some Army specialities, personnel are asked to serve for far more than one unaccompanied, year-long tour in Korea, which encourages experienced personnel to leave the Army.

Duty tours in Korea involve longer separations from family, under worse quality of life conditions than almost any other overseas Army post, in a military zone that is clearly hostile, for less pay. This is a serious moral issue. Let me give you an example, a typical E-5 will make $5,136 less, $2,292 in Federal taxes that must be paid and not getting the $2,844 separation ration if sent to Korea rather than the Balkans. Our men and women in the military do not serve to become rich, but people notice and morale suffers when one assignment means working in poor conditions for a year and taking a $5,000 pay-cut.

When I say the conditions are poor, I want people to know that I am not exaggerating. The quality of life in Korea is recognized as substantially lower than other overseas posts and far lower than within the United States. Consider that orders for Korea have the highest command declination rate and the highest "no show" rate in the Army.

Even worse, look at the housing situation. Only ten percent of the command sponsored service members serving in Korea can be housed, and that housing is generally substandard. Compare this to seventy-two percent of forces deployed to Japan and seventy-four percent of forces in Europe having housing available.

Let me explain what I mean by substandard housing in Korea. The same Quonset huts built in the 1950s as temporary structures are still being used in 2001 to house troops today. Those huts are being shared by 4 or more personnel, often at a level of Sergeant or higher, which is well below standard quarters for such rank.

I visited those Quonset huts when I traveled to Korea in August. I saw the sand bags they have to put out when it rains to prevent major flooding. I witnessed the cramped living quarters; even worse than my freshman college dorm room. I have heard that when winter comes, and Korean winters are famous for their severity, these buildings are much like living in an igloo.

Our troops make the best of this deplorable situation, but they deserve some relief. These are the men and women on whom we rely to deter North Korean aggression on a peninsula that is still technically in a state of war.

Because the tour of duty is unaccompanied for ninety-six percent of the service members there, most of the approximately 21,000 married military personnel in Korea are forced to maintain 2 households. The substandard accommodations available force significant out-of-pocket expenses for basic items like food for both households, phone access, transportation, and other items basic to other posts. The Command estimates that $3,000 to $5,000 per year are spent by deployed personnel on these "hidden costs." Any family that has had to budget knows that this is a significant economic burden at a time when these families are already enduring a year of separation.

It is no wonder that the Army has trouble filling billets in Korea. If you combine the tax disparity and the "hidden costs", a mid-level E-5 will make $8,000 to $10,000 less if deployed to Korea versus the Balkans or Kuwait. This is unacceptable, and it is something that we can fix now. The command estimates that granting pay equity would cost approximately $85 million a year. That is surely the least we owe the fine men and women serving in Korea today.

Mr. President, the horrific events of September 11 underscore in red the heroism of the men and women who put their lives on the line every day, the courageous fire fighters and police officers of this Nation, the domestic defenders of America. Each and every day, fire fighters and police officers wake up knowing that they may have to run into burning buildings or respond to chemical or biological attacks. As thousands and thousands of people were running for their lives out of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, police officers and fire fighters were running in the opposite direction, into the danger and toward the people who could not save themselves. Tragically, many of those first responders did not come out. Sixty police officers and 344 fire fighters are missing or have been declared dead in the World Trade Center attacks. The majority of the fire fighters who responded to the first five alarms of the terrorist attacks, including the city's entire search and rescue fleet of five squad companies, were in the Twin Towers when they collapsed. They are, by any definition, heroes.

We ask for a tremendous amount of responsibility from a small group of people. Fire fighters and police officers are the first responders to almost every tragedy imaginable. From car accidents to plane crashes, from kitchen fires to towering infernos, from domestic disputes to hazardous material spills, we depend upon their service and training each and every day. This Nation's fire fighters and police officers stand ready to respond to the needs of America. The terrible tragedy of September 11 is a daily reminder of how critical it is that America respond to the needs of its first responders.

For the last three months our Nation has focused on how we may best increase the security of our borders. During this time, experts on terrorism have warned us to think outside the box, that if we fail to do so, this Nation will put itself in the vulnerable position of forever responding to the last terrorist attack. The number of anthrax cases is a warning in red that biological and chemical agents are available as weapons of mass destruction. Given this fact, the capacity of our police officers and fire fighter to respond quickly to emergencies involving hazardous materials becomes more important than ever.

The U.S. Department of Transportation administers the Emergency Preparedness Grants Program, which helps State local governments train police and fire fighters to respond to hazmat emergencies. Currently that program is funded at $14 million, and the money comes from registration fees paid by certain hazmat carriers and shippers. Given the growing need for expertise in handling hazardous materials, the $14 million pot of money is clearly inadequate. It is estimated that current funding can provide training to only about 120,000 emergency personnel a year out of a pool of almost 3 million. Grants to local governments are small, ranging from $100,000 to $300,000 on average. In fact, a recent Washington Post article stated that Washington, D.C. is supposed to have a fire department team to respond to a chemical or biological attack, but according to the article, its members rarely train, and are used instead for routine firefighting.

Because money has never been fully allocated for hazmat training grants, there is a current $15 million surplus in the Emergency Preparedness Grants Program. This is $15 million which could be going for critical first responder training. Today I am joined by Senators Rockefeller and Wyden in introducing the Heroic Emergency Response Operations Act, the HERO bill, which would allow the Department of Transportation to access the $15 million in surplus funds, at no cost to the taxpayer, and disperse the lion's share of this money to State and local governments for hazmat training of the men and women who are at ground zero during emergencies involving hazardous materials.

Under our legislation, $1 million of the $15 million surplus would be authorized to go to the International Association of Fire Fighters, IAFF, which provides specialized hazmat training free of charge to local fire departments. According to the IAFF, funding of $1 million per year would quadruple the number of fire fighters who receive the necessary training to safeguard their health and safety as well as that of the citizens they protect during emergency response at or along our Nation's transportation corridor. In addition, the HERO bill would also require the Department of Transportation to develop national standards for security training related to the deliberate release of hazardous materials used as weapons of mass destruction. These standards would be in addition to the existing standards which address emergency response to accidental hazmat spills which may occur during the transportation of hazardous materials.

In this era of potential chemical and biological attacks, we need to do everything we can to ensure that our local police officers and fire fighters receive the proper training to do the difficult job we ask them to do. We in Congress must do all we can to help the first responders of this Nation because they do everything they can to help us, including giving their lives in the line of duty, as we are painfully reminded by the tragic events of September 11. Our legislation is endorsed by the International Association of Fire Fighters, IAFF, and the International Brotherhood of Police Officers, IBPO. I ask unanimous consent that the text of the HERO bill be printed in the Record.

Mr. President, it is my distinct pleasure to join my friend from Georgia, Senator Cleland, in cosponsoring the Heroic Emergency Response Operations, or HERO, Act. The legislation we introduce today honors individuals whom the tragic events of the past few months have truly shown to be heroes, our firefighters and police officers. The HERO Act honors these men and women by providing grants to State and local governments to allow there dedicated public servants to be trained in the proper handling of hazardous materials emergencies.

The HERO Act expands upon the existing Department of Transportation, DOT, Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness Grants, which are intended to provide financial and technical assistance to enhance State and local hazardous materials planning and training. The program is authorized to distribute up to $14 million in fees that have been collected from shippers and carriers of hazardous materials to emergency responders for hazmat training. Unfortunately, this money has never been fully allocated to this important endeavor, and there is now a $15 million surplus.

The HERO Act will allow the Secretary of Transportation to access this $15 million in surplus funds and use it for its intended purpose. Additionally, the HERO Act authorizes that $1 million of the surplus funds go to the International Association of Fire Fighters, (IAFF), which offers a specialized program of hazmat training, free of charge, to firefighters across the country. The IAFF is the only organization currently offering this specialized hazmat training, and the additional funding will quadruple the number of firefighters with access to it.

In the course of learning some important, but painful, lessons during the past few months, our nation has had the opportunity to focus on some positives that we may have taken for granted. As surely as the epic tragedies of September 11 made us aware of the unspeakable evil in the world, it also gave us great pride in the heroes in our midst. When an anthrax-laden letter contaminated the offices of the Majority Leader and others, we came to understand our vulnerability to chemical and biological terrorism. At the same time, we came to more fully appreciate the dedication of the Capitol Police, and the highly trained biohazard units from several agencies of the Federal Government and the armed forces. I am among a group of displaced Senators and staff anxiously waiting for these experts to determine that the Hart Building is safe to re-enter, and I am confident that when we do go back in, the health of Senators and staff members will have been safeguarded by these brave men and women.

I believe it is our duty as members of Congress to see to it that when firefighters and police officers anywhere in the country respond to an accident, crime, or act of terrorism that has resulted in the release of hazardous materials, these heroes have the proper training to protect themselves and the general public. I further believe it is unconscionable that while hazmat teams in every State in the Union go without this much-needed training, this stockpile of money sits unused in the Treasury.

Even before the events of the past few months highlighted the need for enhanced and expanded hazardous materials training, DOT and the IAFF were training as many emergency personnel as possible. However, at its current level of funding, the Emergency Preparedness Grants Program can only provide hazmat training to approximately 120,000 of the nation's 3 million emergency workers each year. Given what has happened, it should be obvious that the need for specialized hazmat training has quickly outpaced the money currently available. This leaves emergency workers in big cities and small towns in the untenable situation of knowing the risks they face, but lacking the proper training to react appropriately.

The legislation I am cosponsoring with Senator Cleland offers an excellent solution to this problem. At no cost to taxpayers, the HERO Act will allow many thousands of emergency personnel to receive hazardous materials training that they would not otherwise be able to receive. Further, it will require DOT to develop minimal national standards for providing security training to those who transport hazardous materials in commerce, which should reduce the likelihood that emergency personnel will have to put their lives at risk to protect us. I commend Senator Cleland for his work on this issue, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to my colleagues. I believe the Congress should enact this bill at its earliest opportunity, and that the President should sign it into law.

Mr. President, I am very pleased to be introducing the Pacific Salmon Recovery Act to grant Federal funding for salmon recovery efforts in California, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and Alaska. The Salmon Recovery Act authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to provide $350 million during each of the next six fiscal years to these five western States and the Tribes in that region.

In California, as in much of the West, wild salmon stocks have collapsed. Their precipitous decline is the result of habitat destruction, overfishing, pollution, and dams that block the passage of fish to and from their spawning areas. The results have been tragic. Fishermen have lost their jobs. Tribes have lost species that are their religious and cultural icons. And, the environment is suffering.

This bill would help to remedy these problems by investing in the restoration of these economic and culturally important fish. Specifically, it will provide funds to support projects in coastal waters and river habitats that will help restore and recover wild salmon. It directs that priority be given to the restoration of species listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act. It establishes criteria to ensure that funds are not wasted on projects that will not benefit fish. It directs the Secretary of Commerce to develop a process for peer reviewing proposed projects to ensure that only scientifically sound projects receive funding. And, it requires States and Tribes to provide an annual spending plan to Congress as well as a one-time comprehensive plan for salmon restoration.

It is important to note that Idaho and the Tribes will finally be eligible for Pacific Salmon Recovery Fund dollars as a result of this bill. There is no justification for them to have been excluded in the past. Additionally, this bill requires that the funds be divided equally among the 5 States. This will ensure that the funding distribution is not distorted by political pressures.

I am joined in the introduction of this bill by Senators Craig, R-ID, Crapo, R-ID, Wyden, D-OR, Smith, R-OR, and Feinstein, D-CA. We worked together for many months to craft this legislation. We were ultimately successful because we all share the same goal, saving wild salmon.

Finally, this bill illustrates clearly that our economy and our environment are linked. I have always said we cannot have a healthy economy without a healthy environment. In restoring the salmon, we will also be restoring the economy of many communities in the West that are, or were, dependent on healthy salmon runs.

This legislation will provide much-needed policy direction to the U.S. Labor Department DOL, and enhance the standing and capacity of the International Labor Affairs Bureau, ILAB, within that Department in the formulation and conduct of our nation's international economic policies. With these tools, ILAB can better inform and equip U.S. policy-makers in all three branches of our Federal Government to assist and induce our foreign trading partners to enforce their own national laws against abusive child labor and to comply with thirteen U.S. laws that have been enacted since 1983 which link U.S. trade, investment, and aid policies to the elimination of abusive child labor and growing international respect for the other internationally-recognized worker rights and core labor standards.

Currently, ILAB does not have any underlying, permanent statutory authority for any of its international activities. It simply operates as an adjunct to the personal office of the Secretary of Labor. Practically speaking, this gives ILAB very little clout in inter-agency policy-making and no real voice to insist on better enforcement of the child labor provisions and other worker rights provisions in U.S. law, international law, or any of the bilateral trade and investment agreements that America has with more than 150 foreign countries.

The time has come for better equipping our government and the rest of the world with urgently-needed tools to constructively link compliance with child labor laws and other basic worker rights to the conduct of continued trade and investment liberalization. We need new thinking and new resolve to crackdown on abusive child labor throughout the global economy and to beef up protection of internationally-recognized worker rights and core labor standards. If enacted, this legislation will lay a solid statutory foundation underneath ILAB. It will empower ILAB to help ensure that as our Nation enters into additional trade and investmennt agreements, that those new agreements as well as all of our pre-existing agreements serve to raise the living standards and protect the rights of working people as well as corporate managers and investors.

I have spent more than a decade in this Senate leading the charge against the commercial exploitation of children in the workplace at home and abroad. Just last year, the Congress enacted provisions I authored in the Trade and Development Act of 2000 which prohibit trade preferences and duty-free access to the U.S. marketplace for any trading nation that is not meeting its international legal obligations to eliminate the worst forms of child labor. Now we have to make certain that these new provisions and our other trade-linked worker rights laws are practically enforced and that means improving ILAB's capacity to meet this increasingly-immportant responsibility.

In the final analysis, increased trade and investment are not ends in themselves. They are means for achieving more broad-based, sustainable development and greater economic and social justice in the global economy. Our real choice is not between free trade or protectionism. Our policy challenge is to identify new and constructive ways in which the power of government can be used to manage globalization in ways that curb abusive child labor and protect worker rights as much as property rights. A well-grounded and enhanced ILAB within the one Cabinet department in our government that was created to advance the needs and protect the fundamental rights of working people everywhere can help us meet this challenge for the 21st century and beyond.

Mr. President, I rise to introduce, with my good friend Senator Hatch, the Federal Prosecutors' Retirement Benefit Equity Act of 2001. This bill would correct an inequity that exists under current law, whereby Federal prosecutors receive substantially less favorable retirement benefits than other nearly all other people involved in the Federal criminal justice system. The bill would increase the retirement benefits given to Assistant United States Attorneys by including them as "law enforcement officers" "LEOs", under the Federal Employees' Retirement System and the Civil Service Retirement System. The bill would also allow the Attorney General to designate other attorneys employed by the Department of Justice who act primarily as criminal prosecutors as LEO's for purposes of receiving these retirement benefits.

The primary reason for granting enhanced retirement benefits to LEOs is the often dangerous work of law enforcement. Currently, Assistant United States Attorneys, "AUSAs", and other Federal prosecutors are not eligible for these enhanced benefits, which are enjoyed by the vast majority of other employees in the criminal justice system. This exclusion is unjustified. The relevant provisions of the United States Code dealing with retirement benefits define an LEO as an employee whose duties are, "primarily the investigation, apprehension, or detention" of individuals suspected or convicted of violating Federal law. See 5 U.S.C. Sec. Sec. 8331(20) and 8401(17). AUSAs and other Federal prosecutors participate in planning investigations, interviewing witnesses both inside and outside of the office setting, debriefing defendants, obtaining warrants, negotiating plea agreements and representing the government at trials and sentencings, all of which fall within the definition of the duties performed by law enforcement officers. Indeed, once a defendant is brought into the criminal justice system, the person with whom they have the most fact-to-face contact, and often in an extremely confrontational environment, is the Federal prosecutor.

Although prosecutors do not personally execute arrests, searches and other physically dangerous activities, LEO status is accorded to many criminal justice employees who do not perform such tasks, such as pretrial services officers and probation officers and accountants, cooks and secretaries of the Bureau of Prisons. Moreover, because they are often the most conspicuous representatives of the government in the criminal justice system, Federal prosecutors are natural targets for threats of reprisals by vengeful criminals. Indeed, there are numerous incidents in which assaults and serious death threats have been made against Federal prosecutors, sometimes resulting in significant disruption of their personal and family lives.

Only recently a veteran Federal prosecutor in the Western District of Washington was murdered in his home, and, although the crime remains unsolved, based upon the facts of the case the authorities have referred to the crime as a hit. In addition, I have received many other accounts from Federal prosecutors regarding specific threats to which they and their families have been subjected because of the performance of their duties. Federal prosecutors have written to me that they have been forced to relocate themselves and their families due to death threats; that they have been assaulted; that they and their families have been followed by members of criminal organizations; that have been forced to install security systems at their homes and to change their routes to and from the office to protect their safety and the safety of their families.

As our war against terrorism continues, Federal prosecutors will be on the front lines once again as the symbols of our criminal justice system, and unfortunately therefore the targets of those who seek its downfall. Among other tasks, the Attorney General has designated AUSA's to play a major role working with police and Federal agents in forming each judicial district's Anti-Terrorism Task Force. One Federal prosecutors wrote to me stating that shortly after his name was in the local news as heading his district's Anti-Terrorism Task Force and he had spoken to his family about taking suitable precautions, that his young son came into his bedroom one night holding a hockey stick for protection asking about their safety. Thus, Federal prosecutors and their families will deal more than ever with a level of stress and danger that justifies their being treated as LEOs.

Enhanced retirement benefits are also justified by the Federal Government's need for experienced prosecutors to bring ever more sophisticated cases under increasingly complex Federal criminal laws. In recent years, we have seen the growth of complex Federal prosecutors to combat the threats posed by organized crime, drug cartels, terrorist groups and other sophisticated criminals. The prosecution of such difficult cases is best handled by experienced prosecutors. It is therefore in the public interest to provide reasonable financial incentives for talented, experienced prosecutors to remain in government service.

This bill would make Assistant United States Attorneys and other Federal prosecutors designated by the Attorney General eligible for immediate, unreduced retirement benefits at age 50 with 20 years of service. For example, prosecutors who are covered by the Civil Service Retirement System would receive 50 percent of the average of their three highest years' salary. At the same time, it would exempt prosecutors from the mandatory retirement provisions that require other law enforcement officers to retire at age 57. Because the loss of physical strength and agility does not adversely affect a person's ability to function as a prosecutor, there is no reason to mandate early retirement.

Two important features of this bill will contain its costs. First, the bill provides that incumbent Federal prosecutors are themselves responsible for making up the difference in individual contributions owed to the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund for their prior service. An incumbent has the choice of making up this difference either by making a payment up front or by accepting a reduction in retirement benefits. Second, government contributions for the prior service of incumbents are made ratably over a ten-year period under this bill. Thus, payments for prior government contributions are spread out to lessen the financial impact. These two provisions will insure that the cost of the bill is kept well within reasons.

This bill enjoys broad, grass root support. In the last month alone, I have received literally hundreds of letters supporting this bill, sent from over 40 States, District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The bill also enjoys support in the law enforcement community. The National Association of Assistant United States Attorneys, the Federal Criminal Investigators Association, and the Southern States Police Benevolent Association have all written me to voice support for the inclusion of AUSAs in the definition of an LEO.

In addition, I know that other Senators, including Senator Mikulski, are considering additional measures to expand these same retirement benefits to other Federal employees who perform law enforcement functions, including IRS employees whose primary duty is to collect delinquent taxes. I support and commend their leadership in bringing these matters to the forefront.
