This title may be cited as the "Public Safety Partnership and Community
Policing Act of 1994".

(2) provide additional and more effective training to law enforcement
officers to enhance their problem solving, service, and other skills needed
in interacting with members of the community;
(3) encourage the development and implementation of innovative programs to
permit members of the community to assist State, Indian tribal government,
and local law enforcement agencies in the prevention of crime in the
community; and
(4) encourage the development of new technologies to assist State, Indian
tribal government, and local law enforcement agencies in reorienting the
emphasis of their activities from reacting to crime to preventing crime,
by establishing a program of grants and assistance in furtherance of these
objectives, including the authorization for a period of 6 years of grants for
the hiring and rehiring of additional career law enforcement officers.
SEC. 10003. COMMUNITY POLICING; "COPS ON THE BEAT".

"(B) the total income of individuals, as determined by the Secretary of
Commerce for national accounts purposes for 1992 as reported in the
publication Survey of Current Business (August 1993), attributed to the State
for the same year.
"(3) RELATIVE INCOME FACTOR.-The relative income factor of a State is a
fraction in which-
"(A) the numerator is the per capita income of the United States; and
"(B) the denominator is the per capita income of the State.
"(4) RELATIVE RATE OF LABOR FORCE.-The relative rate of the labor force
unemployed in a State is a fraction in which-
"(A) the numerator is the percentage of the labor force of the State that
is unemployed in the calendar year preceding the payment period (as
determined by the Secretary of Labor for general statistical purposes); and
"(B) the denominator is the percentage of the labor force of the United
States that is unemployed in the calendar year preceding the payment
period (as determined by the Secretary of Labor for general statistical

population by allocating to each State an amount bearing the same ratio to
the total amount to be allocated under this paragraph as the population of
the State bears to the population of all States;
"(2) $1,166,666,667 were allocated among the States on the basis of
population inversely weighted for per capita income, by allocating to each
State an amount bearing the same ratio to the total amount to be allocated
under this paragraph as-
"(A) the population of the State, multiplied by a fraction in which-

"6705. Local government allocations
"(a) INDIAN TRIBES AND ALASKAN NATIVES VILLAGES.-If there is in a State an
Indian tribe or Alaskan native village having a recognized governing body
carrying out substantial governmental duties and powers, the Secretary shall
allocate to the tribe or village, out of the amount allocated to the State
under section 6704, an amount bearing the same ratio to the amount allocated
to the State as the population of the tribe or village bears to the
population of the State. The Secretary shall allocate amounts under this
subsection to Indian tribes and Alaskan native villages in a State before
allocating amounts to units of general local government in the State under
subsection (c). For the payment period beginning October 1, 1994, the
Secretary shall use as the population of each Indian tribe or Alaskan native
village the population for 1991 as reported by the Bureau of Indian Affairs

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS AND THEIR COUNSELORS.
(a) STUDY AND DEVELOPMENT OF MODEL LEGISLATION.-The Attorney General
shall-
(1) study and evaluate the manner in which the States have taken measures
to protect the confidentiality of communications between sexual assault or
domestic violence victims and their therapists or trained counselors;
(2) develop model legislation that will provide the maximum protection
possible for the confidentiality of such communications, within any
applicable constitutional limits, taking into account the following factors:
(A) the danger that counseling programs for victims of sexual assault and
domestic violence will be unable to achieve their goal of helping victims
recover from the trauma associated with these crimes if there is no assurance
that the records of the counseling sessions will be kept confidential;
(B) consideration of the appropriateness of an absolute privilege for
communications between victims of sexual assault or domestic violence and
their therapists or trained counselors, in light of the likelihood that such
an absolute privilege will provide the maximum guarantee of confidentiality
but also in light of the possibility that such an absolute privilege may be
held to violate the rights of criminal defendants under the Federal or State
constitutions by denying them the opportunity to obtain exculpatory evidence
and present it at trial; and
(C) consideration of what limitations on the disclosure of confidential
communications between victims of these crimes and their counselors, short of
an absolute privilege, are most likely to ensure that the counseling programs
will not be undermined, and specifically whether no such disclosure should be
allowed unless, at a minimum, there has been a particularized showing by a
criminal defendant of a compelling need for records of such communications,
and adequate procedural safeguards are in place to prevent unnecessary or
damaging disclosures; and
(3) prepare and disseminate to State authorities the findings made and
model legislation developed as a result of the study and evaluation.
(b) REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS.-Not later than the date that is 1 year
after the date of enactment of this Act, the Attorney General shall report to
the Congress-
(1) the findings of the study and the model legislation required by this
section; and
(2) recommendations based on the findings on the need for and
appropriateness of further action by the Federal Government.
(c) REVIEW OF FEDERAL EVIDENTIARY RULES.-The Judicial Conference of the
United States shall evaluate and report to Congress its views on whether the
Federal Rules of Evidence should be amended, and if so, how they should be
amended, to guarantee that the confidentiality of communications between
sexual assault victims and their therapists or trained counselors will be
adequately protected in Federal court proceedings.
SEC. 40154. INFORMATION PROGRAMS.
The Attorney General shall compile information regarding sex offender
treatment programs and ensure that information regarding community treatment
programs in the community into which a convicted sex offender is released is
made available to each person serving a sentence of imprisonment in a Federal
penal or correctional institution for a commission of an offense under
chapter 109A of title 18, United States Code, or for the commission of a
similar offense, including halfway houses and psychiatric institutions.

available and reasonable means.
"(2) ENFORCEMENT BY VICTIM.-An order of restitution also may be enforced
by a victim named in the order to receive the restitution in the same manner

"(A) medical services relating to physical, psychiatric, or psychological
care;
"(B) physical and occupational therapy or rehabilitation;
"(C) necessary transportation, temporary housing, and child care expenses;
"(D) lost income;
"(E) attorneys' fees, plus any costs incurred in obtaining a civil
protection order; and
"(F) any other losses suffered by the victim as a proximate result of the
offense.
"(4) ORDER MANDATORY.-(A) The issuance of a restitution order under this
section is mandatory.
"(B) A court may not decline to issue an order under this section because
of-
"(i) the economic circumstances of the defendant; or
"(ii) the fact that a victim has, or is entitled to, receive compensation
for his or her injuries from the proceeds of insurance or any other source.
"(C)(i) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), the court may take into account

restitution order in the foreseeable future (under any reasonable schedule of
payments); and

provides a nominal restitution award.
"(5) MORE THAN 1 OFFENDER.-When the court finds that more than 1 offender

liable for payment of the full amount of restitution or may apportion
liability among the offenders to reflect the level of contribution and
economic circumstances of each offender.

from the defendant in-
"(A) any Federal civil proceeding; and
"(B) any State civil proceeding, to the extent provided by the law of the
State.
"(9) EFFECT ON OTHER SOURCES OF COMPENSATION.-The issuance of a
restitution order shall not affect the entitlement of a victim to receive
compensation with respect to a loss from insurance or any other source until
the payments actually received by the victim under the restitution order
fully compensate the victim for the loss.
"(10) CONDITION OF PROBATION OR SUPERVISED RELEASE.-Compliance with a
restitution order issued under this section shall be a condition of any
probation or supervised release of a defendant. If an offender fails to
comply with a restitution order, the court may, after a hearing, revoke
probation or a term of supervised release, modify the terms or conditions of
probation or a term of supervised release, or hold the defendant in contempt
pursuant to section 3583(e). In determining whether to revoke probation or a
term of supervised release, modify the terms or conditions of probation or
supervised release or hold a defendant serving a term of supervised release
in contempt, the court shall consider the defendant's employment status,
earning ability and financial resources, the willfulness of the defendant's
failure to comply, and any other circumstances that may have a bearing on the
defendant's ability to comply.

later than 10 days before sentencing, the United States Attorney (or such
Attorney's delegate), after consulting with the victim, shall prepare and
file an affidavit with the court listing the amounts subject to restitution
under this section. The affidavit shall be signed by the United States
Attorney (or the delegate) and the victim. Should the victim object to any of
the information included in the affidavit, the United States Attorney (or the
delegate) shall advise the victim that the victim may file a separate
affidavit and assist the victim in the preparation of the affidavit.
"(d) OBJECTION.-If, after the defendant has been notified of the
affidavit, no objection is raised by the defendant, the amounts attested to
in the affidavit filed pursuant to subsection (a) shall be entered in the
court's restitution order. If objection is raised, the court may require the
victim or the United States Attorney (or the United States Attorney's
delegate) to submit further affidavits or other supporting documents,
demonstrating the victim's losses.
"(e) ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION AND TESTIMONY.-If the court concludes, after
reviewing the supporting documentation and considering the defendant's
objections, that there is a substantial reason for doubting the authenticity
or veracity of the records submitted, the court may require additional
documentation or hear testimony on those questions. The privacy of any
records filed, or testimony heard, pursuant to this section, shall be
maintained to the greatest extent possible, and such records may be filed or
testimony heard in camera.
"(f) FINAL DETERMINATION OF LOSSES.-If the victim's losses are not
ascertainable 10 days before sentencing as provided in subsection (c), the
United States Attorney (or the United States Attorney's delegate) shall so
inform the court, and the court shall set a date for the final determination
of the victim's losses, not to exceed 90 days after sentencing. If the victim
subsequently discovers further losses, the victim shall have 90 days after
discovery of those losses in which to petition the court for an amended
restitution order. Such order may be granted only upon a showing of good
cause for the failure to include such losses in the initial claim for
restitutionary relief.
"(g) RESTITUTION IN ADDITION TO PUNISHMENT.-An award of restitution to the
victim of an offense under this chapter is not a substitute for imposition of
punishment under this chapter.
"2265. Full faith and credit given to protection orders
"(a) FULL FAITH AND CREDIT.-Any protection order issued that is consistent
with subsection (b) of this section by the court of one State or Indian
tribe (the issuing State or Indian tribe) shall be accorded full faith and
credit by the court of another State or Indian tribe (the enforcing State or
Indian tribe) and enforced as if it were the order of the enforcing State or
tribe.
"(b) PROTECTION ORDER.-A protection order issued by a State or tribal
court is consistent with this subsection if-
"(1) such court has jurisdiction over the parties and matter under the law
of such State or Indian tribe; and
"(2) reasonable notice and opportunity to be heard is given to the person
against whom the order is sought sufficient to protect that person's right to
due process. In the case of ex parte orders, notice and opportunity to be
heard must be provided within the time required by State or tribal law, and
in any event within a reasonable time after the order is issued, sufficient
to protect the respondent's due process rights.
"(c) CROSS OR COUNTER PETITION.-A protection order issued by a State or
tribal court against one who has petitioned, filed a complaint, or otherwise
filed a written pleading for protection against abuse by a spouse or intimate
partner is not entitled to full faith and credit if-
"(1) no cross or counter petition, complaint, or other written pleading
was filed seeking such a protection order; or
"(2) a cross or counter petition has been filed and the court did not make
specific findings that each party was entitled to such an order.

[pH8817]
"3593. Special hearing to determine whether a sentence of death is
justified
"(a) NOTICE BY THE GOVERNMENT.-If, in a case involving an offense
described in section 3591, the attorney for the government believes that the
circumstances of the offense are such that a sentence of death is justified
under this chapter, the attorney shall, a reasonable time before the trial or
before acceptance by the court of a plea of guilty, sign and file with the
court, and serve on the defendant, a notice-
"(1) stating that the government believes that the circumstances of the
offense are such that, if the defendant is convicted, a sentence of death is
justified under this chapter and that the government will seek the sentence
of death; and
"(2) setting forth the aggravating factor or factors that the government,
if the defendant is convicted, proposes to prove as justifying a sentence of
death.
The factors for which notice is provided under this subsection may include
factors concerning the effect of the offense on the victim and the victim's
family, and may include oral testimony, a victim impact statement that
identifies the victim of the offense and the extent and scope of the injury
and loss suffered by the victim and the victim's family, and any other
relevant information. The court may permit the attorney for the government to
amend the notice upon a showing of good cause.
"(b) HEARING BEFORE A COURT OR JURY.-If the attorney for the government
has filed a notice as required under subsection (a) and the defendant is
found guilty of or pleads guilty to an offense described in section 3591, the
judge who presided at the trial or before whom the guilty plea was entered,
or another judge if that judge is unavailable, shall conduct a separate
sentencing hearing to determine the punishment to be imposed. The hearing
shall be conducted-
"(1) before the jury that determined the defendant's guilt;
"(2) before a jury impaneled for the purpose of the hearing if-
"(A) the defendant was convicted upon a plea of guilty;
"(B) the defendant was convicted after a trial before the court sitting
without a jury;
"(C) the jury that determined the defendant's guilt was discharged for
good cause; or
"(D) after initial imposition of a sentence under this section,
reconsideration of the sentence under this section is necessary; or
"(3) before the court alone, upon the motion of the defendant and with the
approval of the attorney for the government.
A jury impaneled pursuant to paragraph (2) shall consist of 12 members,
unless, at any time before the conclusion of the hearing, the parties
stipulate, with the approval of the court, that it shall consist of a lesser
number.
"(c) PROOF OF MITIGATING AND AGGRAVATING FACTORS.-Notwithstanding rule
32(c) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, when a defendant is found
guilty or pleads guilty to an offense under section 3591, no presentence
report shall be prepared. At the sentencing hearing, information may be
presented as to any matter relevant to the sentence, including any mitigating
or aggravating factor permitted or required to be considered under section
3592. Information presented may include the trial transcript and exhibits if
the hearing is held before a jury or judge not present during the trial, or
at the trial judge's discretion. The defendant may present any information
relevant to a mitigating factor. The government may present any information
relevant to an aggravating factor for which notice has been provided under
subsection (a). Information is admissible regardless of its admissibility
under the rules governing admission of evidence at criminal trials except
that information may be excluded if its probative value is outweighed by the
danger of creating unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, or misleading the
jury. The government and the defendant shall be permitted to rebut any
information received at the hearing, and shall be given fair opportunity to
present argument as to the adequacy of the information to establish the
existence of any aggravating or mitigating factor, and as to the
appropriateness in the case of imposing a sentence of death. The government
shall open the argument. The defendant shall be permitted to reply. The
government shall then be permitted to reply in rebuttal. The burden of
establishing the existence of any aggravating factor is on the government,
and is not satisfied unless the existence of such a factor is established
beyond a reasonable doubt. The burden of establishing the existence of any
mitigating factor is on the defendant, and is not satisfied unless the
existence of such a factor is established by a preponderance of the
information.
"(d) RETURN OF SPECIAL FINDINGS.-The jury, or if there is no jury, the
court, shall consider all the information received during the hearing. It
shall return special findings identifying any aggravating factor or factors
set forth in section 3592 found to exist and any other aggravating factor for
which notice has been provided under subsection (a) found to exist. A finding
with respect to a mitigating factor may be made by 1 or more members of the
jury, and any member of the jury who finds the existence of a mitigating
factor may consider such factor established for purposes of this section
regardless of the number of jurors who concur that the factor has been
established. A finding with respect to any aggravating factor must be
unanimous. If no aggravating factor set forth in section 3592 is found to
exist, the court shall impose a sentence other than death authorized by law.
"(e) RETURN OF A FINDING CONCERNING A SENTENCE OF DEATH.-If, in the case
of-
"(1) an offense described in section 3591(a)(1), an aggravating factor
required to be considered under section 3592(b) is found to exist;
"(2) an offense described in section 3591(a)(2), an aggravating factor
required to be considered under section 3592(c) is found to exist; or
"(3) an offense described in section 3591(b), an aggravating factor
required to be considered under section 3592(d) is found to exist,
the jury, or if there is no jury, the court, shall consider whether all
the aggravating factor or factors found to exist sufficiently outweigh all
the mitigating factor or factors found to exist to justify a sentence of
death, or, in the absence of a mitigating factor, whether the aggravating
factor or factors alone are sufficient to justify a sentence of death. Based
upon this consideration, the jury by unanimous vote, or if there is no jury,
the court, shall recommend whether the defendant should be sentenced to
death, to life imprisonment without possibility of release or some other
lesser sentence.
"(f) SPECIAL PRECAUTION TO ENSURE AGAINST DISCRIMINATION.-In a hearing
held before a jury, the court, prior to the return of a finding under
subsection (e), shall instruct the jury that, in considering whether a
sentence of death is justified, it shall not consider the race, color,
religious beliefs, national origin, or sex of the defendant or of any victim
and that the jury is not to recommend a sentence of death unless it has
concluded that it would recommend a sentence of death for the crime in
question no matter what the race, color, religious beliefs, national origin,
or sex of the defendant or of any victim may be. The jury, upon return of a
finding under subsection (e), shall also return to the court a certificate,
signed by each juror, that consideration of the race, color, religious
beliefs, national origin, or sex of the defendant or any victim was not
involved in reaching his or her individual decision and that the individual
juror would have made the same recommendation regarding a sentence for the
crime in question no matter what the race, color, religious beliefs, national

SEC. 130010. ASYLUM.
(a) FINDINGS.-The Senate finds that-
(1) in the last decade applications for asylum have greatly exceeded the
original 5,000 annual limit provided in the Refugee Act of 1980, with more
than 150,000 asylum applications filed in fiscal year 1993, and the backlog
of cases growing to 340,000;
(2) this flood of asylum claims has swamped the system, creating delays in
the processing of applications of up to several years;
(3) the delay in processing asylum claims due to the overwhelming numbers
has contributed to numerous problems, including-
(A) an abuse of the asylum laws by fraudulent applicants whose primary
interest is obtaining work authority in the United States while their claim
languishes in the backlogged asylum processing system;
(B) the growth of alien smuggling operations, often involving organized
crime;
(C) a drain on limited resources resulting from the high cost of
processing frivolous asylum claims through our multilayered system; and
(D) an erosion of public support for asylum, which is a treaty obligation.
(4) asylum, a safe haven protection for aliens abroad who cannot return
home, has been perverted by some aliens who use asylum claims to circumvent
our immigration and refugee laws and procedures; and
(5) a comprehensive revision of our asylum law and procedures is required
to address these problems.
(b) POLICY.-It is the sense of the Senate that-
(1) asylum is a process intended to protect aliens in the United States
who cannot safely return home;
(2) persons outside their country of nationality who have a well-founded
fear of persecution if they return should apply for refugee status at one of
our refugee processing offices abroad; and
(3) the immigration, refugee and asylum laws of the United States should
be reformed to provide-
(A) a procedure for the expeditious exclusion of any asylum applicant who
arrives at a port-of-entry with fraudulent documents, or no documents, and
makes a noncredible claim of asylum; and
(B) the immigration, refugee and asylum laws of the United States should
be reformed to provide for a streamlined affirmative asylum processing system
for asylum applicants who make their application after they have entered the
United States.

to nude exhibitions or exhibitions in which the outlines of those areas were
discernible through clothing; and

and (4)(B)(i) that the production of a visual depiction involve the use of a

way as to exhibit the child in a lascivious manner.

its brief in United States v. Knox, No. 92-1183, and thereby depriving the

presentation of the issues arising in the case, the Department of Justice did
not accurately reflect the intent of Congress in arguing that "the videotapes
in [the Knox case] constitute `lascivious exhibition[s] of the genitals or
pubic area' only if those body parts are visible in the tapes and the minors
posed or acted lasciviously.".

section referred to as the "program") under which-
(1) the owner of a motor vehicle may voluntarily sign a consent form with
a participating State or locality in which the motor vehicle owner-
(A) states that the vehicle is not normally operated under certain
specified conditions; and
(B) agrees to-
(i) display program decals or devices on the owner's vehicle; and
(ii) permit law enforcement officials in any State to stop the motor vehicle
and take reasonable steps to determine whether the vehicle is being operated
by or with the permission of the owner, if the vehicle is being operated
under the specified conditions; and
(2) participating States and localities authorize law enforcement
officials in the State or locality to stop motor vehicles displaying program
decals or devices under specified conditions and take reasonable steps to
determine whether the vehicle is being operated by or with the permission of
the owner.
(b) UNIFORM DECAL OR DEVICE DESIGNS.-
(1) IN GENERAL.-The motor vehicle theft prevention program developed
pursuant to this section shall include a uniform design or designs for decals
or other devices to be displayed by motor vehicles participating in the

States Attorney, in the same manner as a judgment in a civil action.
"(3) DEFINITION.-For purposes of this subsection, the term `full amount of

result of the offense.
"(4) ORDER MANDATORY.-(A) The issuance of a restitution order under this
section is mandatory.
"(B) A court may not decline to issue an order under this section because
of-
"(i) the economic circumstances of the defendant; or
"(ii) the fact that a victim has, or is entitled to, receive compensation

the payments actually received by the victim under the restitution order
fully compensate the victim for the loss.
"(10) CONDITION OF PROBATION OR SUPERVISED RELEASE.-Compliance with a
restitution issued under this section shall be a condition of any probation

revoke probation or a term of supervised release, modify the terms or
conditions of probation or supervised release or hold a defendant serving a
term of supervised release in contempt, the court shall consider the
defendant's employment status, earning ability and financial resources, the
willfulness of the defendant's failure to comply, and any other circumstances

advise the victim that the victim may file a separate affidavit and shall
provide the victim with an affidavit form which may be used to do so.
"(2) OBJECTION.-If, after the defendant has been notified of the
affidavit, no objection is raised by the defendant, the amounts attested to
in the affidavit filed pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be entered in the
court's restitution order. If objection is raised, the court may require the
victim or the United States Attorney (or the United States Attorney's
delegee) to submit further affidavits or other supporting documents,
demonstrating the victim's losses.
"(3) ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION AND TESTIMONY.-If the court concludes, after
reviewing the supporting documentation and considering the defendant's
objections, that there is a substantial reason for doubting the authenticity
or veracity of the records submitted, the court may require additional
documentation or hear testimony on those questions. The privacy of any
records filed, or testimony heard, pursuant to this section shall be
maintained to the greatest extent possible, and such records may be filed or
testimony heard in camera.

delegee) shall so inform the court, and the court shall set a date for the
final determination of the victim's losses, not to exceed 90 days after
sentencing. If the victim subsequently discovers further losses, the victim

court at any time to modify a restitution order as appropriate in view of a
change in the economic circumstances of the offender.

issue by the court.

JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE
The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at the conference on
the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the amendment of the House to the
bill (HR3355), to amend the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of
1968 to allow grants to increase police presence, to expand and improve
cooperative efforts between law enforcement agencies and members of the
community to address crime and disorder problems, and otherwise to enhance
public safety, submit the following joint statement to the House and the
Senate in explanation of the effect of the action agreed upon by the managers
and recommended in the accompanying conference report:
TITLE I-PUBLIC SAFETY AND POLICING
House sections 1401-02 recede to Senate sections 101-02 and that portion
of section 103 dealing with "Cops on the Beat" with the following
modifications: the minimum amount for each qualified State is 0.5 percent;
all applications will be direct to the Attorney General with special
provisions for expedited submission and approval of applications from
America's small jurisdictions as well as for small grants for non-police
hiring; cost per police officer shall be limited to $75,000 which may be
expended for periods up to five years; hiring funds may also be used to train
new career law enforcement officers for community policing; 50 percent of the
monies must be granted to jurisdictions with populations over 150,000, the
remaining 50 percent must be allocated to jurisdictions with populations of
150,000 or less; the addition of the House provision regarding coordination
of other Federal programs; a revised minority recruitment section; the
addition of Indian tribal governments; and other modifications.
The Conferees are particularly concerned about those areas where members
of racial and ethnic minority groups and women are highly under-represented
in the law enforcement agency's sworn positions. The Conferees encourage the
Attorney General to review this matter carefully in the applications from
such areas.
One of the modifications permits additional flexibility in the use of
grant funds. The Conferees were informed that, in some police departments,
payment of overtime or purchase of computers or other technology or the
employment of support personnel will enable officers to be deployed, or
redeployed from non-patrol assignments, to community-oriented policing
assignments. The additional flexibility is intended to achieve that goal.
Thus, in addition to the use of grant funds pursuant to 1701(b) to hire or
rehire police officers, a limited amount of such funds can be used for the
payment of overtime or procurement of equipment, technology or support
systems or support personnel, provided that expenditures for such purposes
enable additional officers to be deployed to community-oriented policing
assignments. The Conferees also note that, in appropriate circumstances, the
permissible uses of the funding pursuant to section 1701(d) could also
include payment for overtime.
The Conferees intend that the Attorney General, in awarding grants that
will be used for redeployment purposes, take into consideration the extent to
which police departments are committed to consultation about such
redeployment with representatives of local labor organizations that represent
police officers.
The Conferees also note Congress has found with regard to this title
that: (1) according to data compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
in 1961, there was approximately 1 reported violent crime per city police
officer; but, while from 1961-1991 there was no substantial increase in
United States cities' police employment rate, during the same period the
number of reported violent crimes per city police officer rose to
approximately 4.6 per officer; (2) National Crime Survey figures indicate
that nearly 5,000,000 households in the United States had at least 1 member
who had been a victim of violent crime during 1991; (3) these victims of
violence experienced more than 6,400,000 crimes of which about one-half were
reported to law enforcement authorities; (4) community-oriented
policing ("cops on the beat") enhances communication and cooperation between
law enforcement and members of the community; (5) such communication and
cooperation between law enforcement and members of the community
significantly assists in preventing and controlling crime and violence, thus
enhancing public safety; and (6) while increasing and maintaining police
resources and presence in the community are the long-term responsibility of
State and local governments, State and local law enforcement agencies are in
need of immediate assistance to begin the process of rehiring officers who
have been laid off for budgetary reasons and hiring new, additional officers
to assist in the implementation of community-oriented policing.

respect to this provision Congress finds that job training and placement are
important to, and make a significant contribution to, the readjustment to
society of incarcerated persons and ex-offenders; and there is a growing need
for immediate action by the Federal Government to assist State and local job
training programs, and job placement programs, that provide services to
incarcerated persons or ex-offenders.

The Conferees note the work of the National Crime Prevention Council,
which serves as a resource center for the prevention of crime, violence, and
substance abuse. Such work is reflected in the design of a variety of
programs in this bill.
Section 30102-04-Senate recedes to House section 1011 with modifications.
SUBTITLE B-LOCAL CRIME PREVENTION BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
Section 30201-08-Conferees consolidate various House and Senate crime
prevention programs in a Local Crime Prevention Block Grant Program. The
Attorney General is to allocate funds directly to units of local government
based on the number of violent crimes and at-risk children. Funds are
permitted to be used to carry out one or more of the purposes of the
following House and Senate provisions: Senate section 633, Youth Development
Centers; Senate section 5143, Olympic Youth Development Centers; Senate
section 631, Juvenile Drug and Gang Prevention Grants; Senate sections
4001-09, Child Safety; House sections 1065-71, National Triad Program; House
sections 1099I-990, Gang Prevention Services for Boys and Girls; House
sections 1081-96, Youth Employment and Skills Crime Prevention; House section
1038, Midnight Sports; House sections 1099P-99T, Anti-Crime Youth Councils;
House sections 1099A-99C, Boys and Girls Clubs in Public Housing; House
sections 1099B-99G, Hope in Youth; House proposal regarding Safe Senior
Corridors; and House sections 1030-34, Police Partnerships and Safe Low
Income Housing.
CHILD SAFETY
The Conferees note that the problem of family violence does not
necessarily cease when the victimized family is legally separated, divorced,
or otherwise not sharing a household. During separation and divorce, family
violence often escalates, and child custody and visitation become the new
forum for the continuation of abuse. Some perpetrators use the children as
pawns to control the abused party after the couple is separated. Every year
an estimated 1,000 to 5,000 children are killed by their parents in the
United States. In 1988, the Department of Justice reported that 354,100
children were abducted by family members who violated custody agreements or
decrees (most victims were children from ages 2 to 11 years). Approximately
160,000 children are seriously injured or impaired by abuse or neglect each
year. Studies by the American Humane Association indicate that reports of
child abuse and neglect have increased by over 200 percent from 1976 to 1986;
approximately 90 percent of children in homes in which their mothers are
abused witness the abuse. Data indicates that women and children are at
elevated risk for violence during the process of and after separation; and 50
to 70 percent of men who abuse their spouses or partners also abuse their
children. Up to 75 percent of all domestic assaults reported to law
enforcement agencies were inflicted after the separation of the couples; in
one study of spousal homicide, over half of the male defendants were
separated from their victims, seventy-three percent of battered women seeking
emergency medical services do so after separation.
THE TRIAD MODEL
The Conferees note that Triad cooperative models are sponsored by the
National Sheriff's Association (NSA), the International Association of Chiefs
of Police (IACP), and the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP).
The Conferees also note that older Americans are among the most rapidly
growing segments of our society; currently, older Americans comprise 15
percent of our society, and predictions are that by the turn of the century
they will constitute 18 percent of the nation's population; older Americans
find themselves uniquely situated in the society, environmentally and
physically; many older Americans are experiencing increased social isolation
due to fragmented and distant familial relations, scattered associations,
limited access to transportation, and other insulating factors; physical
conditions such as hearing loss, poor eyesight, lessened agility, and chronic
and debilitating illnesses often contribute to a senior citizen's
susceptibility to criminal victimization; older Americans are too frequently
the victims of abuse and neglect, violent crime, property crime, consumer
fraud, medical quackery, and confidence games; studies have found that older
Americans who are victims of violent crime are more likely to be injured and
require medical attention than are younger victims; victimization data on
crimes against older Americans are incomplete and out of date, and data
sources are partial, scattered, and not easily obtained; although a few
studies have attempted to define and estimate the extent of abuse and neglect
of older Americans, both in their homes and in institutional settings, many
experts believe that abuse and neglect crimes are substantially underreported
and undetected; similarly, while some evidence suggests that older Americans
may be targeted in a range of fraudulent schemes, neither the Uniform Crime
Report nor the National Crime Survey collects data on individual- or
household-level fraud; many law enforcement agencies do not have model
practices for responding to the criminal abuse of older Americans; law
enforcement officers and social service providers come from different
disciplines and frequently bring different perspectives to the problem of
crimes against older Americans; the differences in approaches can inhibit a
genuinely effective response; there are a few efforts currently under way
that seek to forge partnerships to coordinate criminal justice and social
service approaches to victimization of older Americans; the Triad program,
sponsored by the National Sheriffs' Association (NSA), the International
Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), and the American Association of
Retired Persons (AARP), is one such effort; the Assistant Secretary for
Aging, as the senior executive branch officer formulating older Americans
policy is an appropriate leader in efforts to reduce violent crime against
older Americans; and recognizing that older Americans have the same
fundamental desire as other members of our society to live freely, without
fear or restriction due to the criminal element, the Federal government
should seek to expand efforts to reduce crime against this growing and
uniquely vulnerable segment of our population.
[pH8869]
GANG PREVENTION SERVICES FOR BOYS AND GIRLS
The Conferees note that services provided through existing federally
supported gang prevention programs do not adequately address the needs of
boys and girls in communities with high levels of gang activity and other
barriers to service (such as large concentrations of minority populations who
have limited English speaking proficiency, geographically isolated
populations, and communities in which social service providers are limited or
nonexistent); children who are exposed to gang activity at an early age are
more likely to become gang-involved than children who are exposed to such
activity later in life, or children who are never exposed to such activity;
gangs are increasingly targeting younger children for recruitment, especially
children at middle schools and elementary schools; Federal studies indicate
that violent crime has increased more significantly in the gang population
compared to the adult population; and small community-based service agencies
with strong ties to the educational and law enforcement systems offer the
best chance to prevent young children from becoming involved in gangs.
HOPE IN YOUTH
The Conferees note that larger cities around the country, particularly
those involved in empowerment zones, are attempting to empower low-income and
ethnic minority communities; programs that involve local government and local
community leaders and that include significant participation by service
providers, service participants, and service funders, as equal partners in
the design and direction of a myriad of social service support programs have
been among the most effective demonstration models; programs that attempt to
link disenfranchised and disconnected citizens through an umbrella
organization that provides guidance to public and private service providers
have proven to be an effective strategy for empowering local low-income
communities; families in low-income communities have not attained their full
potential as productive citizens, and Federal efforts thus far have been
insufficient to assist them in fully realizing that potential.
POLICE PARTNERSHIPS
The Conferees note that homicide is the second leading cause of juvenile
injury deaths for all youth 15 to 24 years of age. Homicide rates for
children and youth have more than doubled since 1950. Teenagers are more than
twice as likely as adults to be victims of violent crime, such as rape,
robbery or assault. Physical fighting severe enough to require medical
treatment for at least one participant occurs among high school students in
patterns similar to those of homicide. The incidence rates of such physical
fighting are higher for males than females, higher for minorities than for
nonminorities, and more frequent between acquaintances than among strangers.
Children increasingly live amidst chronic community violence and experience
trauma as a result of such violence. One survey of inner-city children 6 to
10 years of age found that over 90 percent had witnessed some type of
violence. A Chicago housing project survey found that virtually all children
in such survey had firsthand experiences with shootings by the age of 5.
Children who have been the victims of, or who have witnessed violence, are at
risk of becoming involved in further violence if the trauma such children
have experienced is not addressed. Police frequently encounter children who
have been the victims of violence or who have witnessed violence in the
course of the police work, but the police often lack the resource necessary
to adequately respond to such children's needs. Child and family service
agencies have expertise in child development and family issues that could
support police efforts. Community-based police, by their visibility at the
neighborhood level and their engagement in benign activities, can provide
role models and resources to promote the well-being of children and families,
as well as to identify and refer those at risk for behavioral problems.
SUBTITLE C-MODEL INTENSIVE GRANT PROGRAMS
Senate recedes to House sections 1001-07, Model Intensive Grants, with
modifications to add a provision ensuring equitable distribution of grants;
to include a definition of the term "State"; and to permit consultation with
the Ounce of Prevention Council.
SUBTITLE D-FAMILY AND COMMUNITY ENDEAVOR SCHOOLS GRANT
PROGRAM
House sections 1015-24, Community Schools, recede to Senate section 5142
with modifications which include dividing the program into two separate
programs: (1) Community Schools, with responsibility lodged in the Secretary
of Health and Human Services in consultation and coordination with the
Attorney General, and (2) Family and Community Endeavor Schools (FACES), with
responsibility lodged in the Secretary of Education.
COMMUNITY SCHOOLS
The Conferees note the sense of the Congress with regard to Community
School that public-private partnerships between government and
community-based organizations offer an opportunity to empower distressed and
disconnected communities to develop their resources and abilities in order to
meet the needs of children, forge innovative solutions to the challenges
confronting the development of the children in such communities, and create
environments where children grow up learning a healthy respect for
themselves, for neighbors, and for their communities; increased resources
should be invested in public-private partnerships; and community-based
organizations, acting through such public-private partnerships should provide
year-round supervised sports programs, and extracurricular and academic
programs, for children in the communities, and in providing such
extracurricular and academic programs, should promote the positive character
development of such children through programs such as curriculum-based
supervised educational, work force preparation, entrepreneurship, cultural,
and health programs, social activities, arts and crafts programs, dance
programs, tutorial and mentoring programs, and other related activities.
The Conferees also note that Congress has found with regard to this
program the following: parents are devoting less time than in previous
generations to the supervision, education, and nurturing of their children;
the lack of supervision and meaningful activity after school contributes to
the spread of violent juvenile delinquency in the form of youth and gang
violence, drug trafficking, dangerous and self-destructive behavior, and lack
of hope among children in our Nation; every child has the capacity to be
productive and law abiding and deserves to grow in a safe and protected
environment; communities have a responsibility to develop the children of our
Nation into productive adults; because of their centrality, public schools
are among the best facilities that communities can use to provide needed
space and support services for programs for children; schools are most
effective at serving a community when the people of the community are
involved in activities designed to fulfill the needs of children in the
community; and activities provided in community centers, recreational
facilities, and other places where children gather, have a significant impact
and influence on the behavior and attitudes of children.
FAMILY AND COMMUNITY ENDEAVORS SCHOOLS
The Conferees note that Congress has found with regard to this program
that: (1) children in areas with a high incidence of poverty are more likely
to be exposed to problems created by economic deprivation, poor housing,
overwhelming family responsibilities, inadequate parental educational
background or parental substance abuse and are at risk of failure; (2)
students from poor families are 3 times more likely to drop out of school
than students from more advantaged homes; (3) without social intervention,
at-risk children are often unable to improve academic performance; (4)
schools are accessible, central resources in every community where social and
education services can be coordinated and disseminated to at-risk children
and their families; (5) schools are most effective at serving a community
when the people of the community are involved in school management and help
design activities to fulfill the needs of children in the community; and (6)
many schools have successfully improved the academic performance and social
development of at-risk children by instituting an organizational and
management plan that incorporates parental involvement in school management
and incorporates mental health and social intervention services in the daily
academic curriculum.
SUBTITLE G-ASSISTANCE FOR DELINQUENT AND AT-RISK YOUTH
Senate recedes to House sections 1051-52, Assistance for Delinquent and
At-Risk Youth, with technical modification.
SUBTITLE H-POLICE RECRUITMENT
Senate recedes to House sections 1061-62, Police Recruitment, with
technical modification. The term `non-profits' includes, but is not limited
to, public institutions of higher education that so qualify under section
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
[pH8870]
SUBTITLE J-LOCAL PARTNERSHIP ACT
Senate recedes to House section 1075-76, Local Partnership Act, with
various modifications including the clarification of the purposes for which
funds under this program can be used. The Local Partnership Act ("LPA") is
authorized for fiscal years 1995 through 2000 rather than for fiscal years
1995 and 1996. At the request of the Administration, the LPA will be
administered by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") rather
than the Secretary of Treasury, and HUD may delegate some or all of its
administrative responsibilities to other Executive branch departments and
agencies. Two and one-half percent of the total funds authorized for the LPA
are authorized to be appropriated for fiscal years 1995 through 2000 for
administrative costs of HUD in administering the LPA. Checks will be sent to
local governments by HUD within 90 days of the actual appropriation of funds
rather than 60 days. Technical changes are made in the LPA's allocation
formula so that HUD will be able to replicate for fiscal year 1995 the dollar
allocations to 39,000 local governments produced by the General Accounting
Office ("GAO") on April 25, 1994; for later years HUD is free to use more
reliable data-if available-than the data used by GAO.
The Conferees note that, in some areas of the country, public functions
such as transportation, education, and hospitals are supported by property or
sales taxes collected by separate taxing jurisdictions. The Conferees expect
HUD, in consultation with the Governments Division of the Bureau of the
Census, to report to the Committee on Government Operations on the operation
of the Local Partnership Act in such areas and to include in its report any
suggestions on changes to the statutory definition of the general tax effort
factor.
The Conferees agreed to an amendment dealing with payments of less
than $5,000 to Indian tribes and Alaskan native villages.
The Conferees also agreed to an amendment providing that GAO will report
to Congress on a comparison of waste and efficiency under the LPA compared to
other comparable Federal programs.
The Local Partnership Act contains a one percent set-aside for the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the Virgin Islands.
The allocation formula for local governments within the 50 States does not
apply to these four jurisdictions. The Conferees expect, however, that
objective criteria, such as population and/or per capita income, will be used
to ensure an equitable distribution of these funds regrading the local
governments within these four jurisdictions.
SUBTITLE K-NATIONAL COMMUNITY ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP
House recedes to Senate sections 4901-33, Community Economic Partnership
Act.
SUBTITLE O-URBAN RECREATION AND AT-RISK YOUTH
Senate recedes to House sections 1099U-99Z, Urban Recreation and At-Risk

SUBTITLE Q-COMMUNITY BASED GRANTS FOR PROSECUTORS
Senate recedes to House sections 1099DD-99KK, Community Based Justice
Grants for Local Prosecutors, with modifications.
SUBTITLE S-FAMILY UNITY DEMONSTRATION PROJECT
House recedes to Senate sections 4101-22, Family Unity Demonstration
Project, with the following modifications: a child is defined as less than
seven years of age; the definition of eligible offender as well as the
definition of a State are clarified; the Attorney General is designated as
the responsible official; and technical modification.
The Conferees note that Congress finds with regard to this program an
increasing number of children are becoming separated from their primary
caretaker parents due to the incarceration of the parents in prisons and
jails; such separation of children from their primary caretaker parents can
cause harm to children's psychological well-being and hinder their growth and
development; a significant number of children are born shortly before or
during the incarceration of their mothers and are then quickly separated from
their mothers, preventing the parent-child bonding that is crucial to
developing in children a sense of security and trust; maintaining close
relationships with their children provides a powerful incentive for prisoners
to participate in and successfully benefit from rehabilitative programs; and
maintaining strong family ties during imprisonment has been shown to decrease
recidivism, thereby reducing prison costs.
SUBTITLE T-SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT IN FEDERAL PRISONS
Senate section 1304, Drug Treatment in Federal Prisons, recedes to House
section 2001 with modifications to subject the program to the availability of
appropriations, to require the Bureau of Prisons to provide residential
treatment, and to limit the early release incentive for successful program
completion to non-violent offenders.
The authority provided to the Bureau of Prisons under this section is not
to be construed as limiting any authority already possessed by the Bureau of
Prisons with respect to the release of inmates.
SUBTITLE U-RESIDENTIAL SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT FOR STATE
PRISONERS
Senate section 1204 recedes to House sections 2301-02, Substance Abuse
Treatment in State Prisons, with modifications to clarify that certain local

substance abuse treatment programs to those lasting between 6 and 12 months;
and designate the Attorney General as the responsible official.

TUBERCULOSIS IN CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS
House recedes to Senate section 5121, tuberculosis prevention, with
modification to include National Institute of Corrections rather than
National Institute of Justice.
SUBTITLE X-GANG RESISTANCE EDUCATION AND TRAINING

programs in Senate bill: grants for high intensity crime areas, general
grants to States, and Domestic Violence and Family Support Grants (3341); the
addition of purposes to strengthen victim services programs in diverse
populations, and programs addressing the needs of Indian tribes; the addition
of a matching fund requirement (which tribal governments may satisfy with
Federal funds from the Bureau of Indian Affairs); and the designation of the
Attorney General as the responsible official. With regard to the matching
fund requirement, the Conferees intend that in disbursing grants for
nongovernmental victim services, States shall not pass through to the
subgrantees the amount of any required State match. With regard to this
program, the Conferees acknowledge the critical role probation agencies play
in monitoring and controlling the perpetrators of family violence; the
Conferees intend that probation agencies receive appropriate consideration
under this program.
Senate section 3262 recedes to House sections 1603-04, rape exam payments
and filing costs, with modifications to extend the requirements to units of
local government and Indian tribal governments except (in the case of rape

to give States a period for bringing laws, policies, and practices into
compliance with filing cost requirements.

modification to substitute the revisions of Federal Rule of Evidence 412 as
transmitted to Congress by the Supreme Court on April 29, 1994 with an
additional modification to extend evidentiary protection to civil cases (as
proposed by the Judicial Conference of the United States to the Supreme Court
on October 25, 1993). The Conferees intend that the Advisory Committee Note
on Rule 412, as transmitted by the Judicial Conference of the United States
to the Supreme Court on October 25, 1993, applies to Rule 412 as enacted by
this section. This section, which modifies Rule 412 of the Federal Rules of
Evidence as transmitted to the Congress by the United States Supreme Court,

include a plan for assisting non-English speaking callers and the
hearing-impaired; and (3) applicants must demonstrate support from advocacy
groups, such as State coalitions and recognized national domestic violence
groups. The Conferees note Congress has found with regard to this program
that (1) 4,000,000 women are battered by their partners each year, of which
4,000 die as a result of such abuse; (2) victims of domestic violence need
access to resources which will refer such victims and their children to safe
homes and shelters; and (3) there is a need for a national domestic violence
hotline to provide information and assistance to victims of domestic
violence because a privately funded national domestic violence hotline which
previously handled more than 65,000 crisis calls annually no longer exits.
CHAPTER 2-INTERSTATE ENFORCEMENT

domestic violence and child abuse enforcement assistance.
SUBTITLE C-CIVIL RIGHTS FOR WOMEN
Sections 40301-03-House recedes to Senate sections 3401-03, Civil Rights.
The Conferees note that the applicable standard of proof in a civil rights
cause of action under this section is preponderance of the evidence. The
Conferees also note that the Congress has found that crimes of violence
motivated by gender constitute bias crimes in violation of the victim's right
to be free from discrimination on the basis of gender; current law provides a
civil rights remedy for gender crimes committed in the workplace, but not for
crimes of violence motivated by gender committed on the street or in the
home; State and Federal criminal laws do not adequately protect against the
bias element of crimes of violence motivated by gender, which separates these
crimes from acts of random violence, nor do these adequately provide victims
of gender-motivated crimes the opportunity to vindicate their interests;
existing bias and discrimination in the criminal justice system often
deprives victims of crimes of violence motivated by gender of equal
protection of the laws and the redress to which they are entitled; crimes of
violence motivated by gender have a substantial adverse effect on interstate
commerce, by deterring potential victims from traveling interstate, from
engaging in employment in interstate business, and from transacting with
business, and in places involved, in interstate commerce; crimes of violence
motivated by gender have a substantial adverse effect on interstate commerce,
by diminishing national productivity, increasing medical and other costs, and
decreasing the supply of and the demand for interstate products; a Federal
civil rights action as specified in this section is necessary to guarantee
equal protection of the laws and to reduce the substantial adverse effects on
interstate commerce caused by crimes of violence motivated by gender; and the
victims of crimes of violence motivated by gender have a right to equal
protection of the laws, including a system of justice that is unaffected by
bias or discrimination and that, at every relevant stage, treats such crimes
as seriously as other violent crimes.
Section 40304-House recedes to Senate section 3404, Sense of the Senate
concerning protection of privacy of rape victims, with technical
modifications. The Conferees note that the Senate finds with regard to this
provision that: (1) there is a need for a strong and clear Federal response
to violence against women, particularly with respect to the crime of
rape; (2) Rape is an abominable and repugnant crime, and one that is severely
underreported to law enforcement authorities because of its stigmatizing
nature: (3) The victims of rape are often further victimized by a criminal
justice system that is insensitive to the trauma caused by the crime and are
increasingly victimized by news media that are insensitive to the victim's
emotional and psychological needs; (4) Rape victims' need for privacy should
be respected; (5) Rape victims need to be encouraged to come forward and
report the crime of rape without fear of being revictimized through
involuntary public disclosure of their identities; (6) Rape victims need a
reasonable expectation that their physical safety will be protected against
retaliation or harassment by an assailant; (7) The news media should, in the
exercise of their discretion, balance the public's interest in knowing facts
reported by free news media against important privacy interests of a rape
victim, and an absolutist view of the public interest leads to insensitivity
to a victim's privacy interest; and (8) The public's interest in knowing the
identity of a rape victim is small compared with the interests of maintaining
the privacy of rape victims and encouraging rape victims to report and assist
in the prosecution of the crime of rape.
Senate section 3501, safe campuses for women, is deleted because it has
already been enacted.

judges, magistrates, quasi-judicial personnel, probation officers, drug
testing personnel, prosecutors, defense attorneys, other criminal justice
participants, drug treatment personnel, persons involved in programmatic and
after-care services, and other personnel necessary to implement drug court
programs.
The Conferees note the diversity of court structures under which
jurisdictions throughout the United States are organized and intend that the
Attorney General, in implementing this program, issue regulations that are as
flexible as possible in this regard.

The provision also provides authority to detail temporarily drug control
personnel to other Departments or agencies to implement the National Drug
Control Strategy. It further provides authority, except to the extent that
the Director's authority is limited in an annual appropriations Act, to
transfer up to 2% among National Drug Control Program accounts, upon advance
approval of the Committees on Appropriations of each House of Congress. It is
the intent of the Conferees that such advance approval be obtained from each
of the Appropriations Subcommittees with jurisdiction over accounts increased
or decreased by such budget shifts.
Several additional goals are added to the National Drug Control Strategy,
including the "consequences" of drug abuse (such as emergency room overdoses
and drug-related crime), assessment of national drug treatment system, and
other evaluations of the strategy. Drug treatment and prevention are added to
the mission of the Counter-Drug Technology Assessment Center. And, the
provision prohibits the Director and other officials in the Office who are
confirmed by the Senate from participating in Federal election campaigns.
Senate section 1504, anabolic steroids penalties, recedes to House as
duplicative of stronger current law.

Section 100002-House recedes to Senate section 1602, applying State law in
areas of Federal jurisdiction.
Section 100003-House sections 1801-02, Driving While Intoxicated
Prosecution Program, recede to Senate section 5115.
TITLE XI-FIREARMS
SUBTITLE A-ASSAULT WEAPONS
House recedes to Senate sections 4501-10, with modifications.
The Conferees recognize that some workers will be adversely impacted by
the enactment of this Subtitle. The Conferees note that the Department of
Labor has made available, as of July 1, more than $1.1 billion through Title
III of the Job Training Partnership Act to assist dislocated workers. The
types of assistance available to dislocated workers under that Act include
retraining, job search assistance, job counseling, on-the-job training, and
other services. The Conferees expect that any employees dislocated as a
result of enactment of this Subtitle will be eligible to apply for such
benefits in accordance with Department of Labor criteria.
SUBTITLE B-YOUTH HANDGUN SAFETY
Section 110201-House sections 1901-02 recede to Senate section sections
661-62 with the deletion of Senate section 662(a) and technical
modifications. Senate section 663 recedes to House.
The Conferees note Congress finds with regard to these sections that:
Crime, particularly crime involving drugs and guns, is a pervasive,
nationwide problem; problems with crime at the local level are exacerbated by
the interstate movement of drugs, guns, and criminal gangs; firearms and
ammunition, and handguns in particular, move easily in interstate commerce,
as documented in numerous hearings in both the Judiciary Committee of the
House of Representatives and Judiciary Committee of the Senate. Even before
the sale of a handgun, its component parts, ammunition, and the raw materials
from which they are made have considerably moved in interstate commerce.
While criminals freely move from State to State, ordinary citizens may fear
to travel to or through certain parts of the country due to the concern that
violent crime is not under control, and people from other countries may
decline to travel in the United States for the same reason. Just as hardened
drug kingpins often begin their lives in the illicit drug culture by exposure
to drugs at a young age, violent criminals often start their criminal careers
on streets where the ready availability of guns to young people results in
the acceptability of their random use. Violent crime and the use of illicit
drugs go hand-in-hand, and attempts to control one without controlling the
other may be fruitless. Individual States and localities find it impossible
to handle the problem by themselves; even States and localities that have
made a strong effort to prevent, detect, and punish crime find their efforts
unavailing due in part to the failure or inability of other States and
localities to take strong measures. Inasmuch as illicit drug activity and
related violent crime overflow State lines and national boundaries, the
Congress has power, under the interstate commerce clause and other provisions
of the Constitution, to enact measures to combat these problems. The Congress
finds that it is necessary and appropriate to assist the States in
controlling crime by stopping the commerce in handguns with juveniles
nationwide, and allowing the possession of handguns by juveniles only when
handguns are possessed and used for legitimate purposes under appropriate
conditions.

Section 110401-Senate sections 301, Persons Subject to Restraining Orders,
and 4201-03, Prohibition Against Disposal of Firearms to, or Receipt of
Firearms by, Persons Who Have Committed Domestic Violence, recede to House
sections 1624-25, with modifications.
The Conferees intend that the term "child" be read with common sense and
normal meaning, and to include a child over whom a person's parental rights
have been terminated by a court order. The Conferees also note that Congress
finds with respect to this provision that domestic violence is the leading
cause of injury to women in the United States between the ages of 15 and 44;
firearms are used by the abuser in 7 percent of domestic violence incidents
and produces an adverse effect on interstate commerce; and individuals with a
history of domestic abuse should not have easy access to firearms.
SUBTITLE E-GUN CRIME PENALTIES
In carrying out directions from the Congress, the U.S. Sentencing
Commission shall assure reasonable consistency with other guidelines, avoid
duplicative punishment for substantially the same offense, and take into

assistance in an area in determining where to locate the facilities.
Section 130008-Senate recedes to House section 2402, authority of the
Attorney General to accept assistance in deporting criminal aliens, with
modifications.
The Conferees note that many States and localities are burdened with the
financial costs of housing and processing deportable aliens who are
unlawfully within the United States and who are arrested for violating
criminal statutes. The Immigration and Naturalization Service is not
permitted under current law to accept State and local assistance in carrying
out its deportation responsibilities. This section is intended to aid
communities with criminal alien populations to expedite the removal of
deportable aliens who are arrested for the violation of criminal statutes by
providing transportation-related services or property to the Immigration and
Naturalization Service.
Section 130009-Senate section 712 recedes to House section 2431 with
modification increasing the penalty for employment document fraud to five
years. Senate section 5124 is deleted as duplicative.

TITLE XVII-CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN
SUBTITLE A-JACOB WETTERLING CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN AND
SEXUALLY VIOLENT OFFENDER REGISTRATION ACT
Section 170101-Senate sections 821-23, Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against

include the program contained in Senate sections 841-44 and other
modifications.
SUBTITLE B-ASSAULTS AGAINST CHILDREN
Section 170201-Senate recedes to House section 301, assaults against
children, with technical and conforming modifications.
SUBTITLE C-MISSING AND EXPLOITED CHILDREN
Sections 170301-03-House recedes to Senate sections 4301-04, Missing and
Exploited Children, with modifications. The Conferees note Congress finds
with regard to this program that the victimization of children in our nation
has reached epidemic proportions; recent Department of Justice figures show
that 4,600 children were abducted by non-family members; two-thirds of the
abductions of children by non-family members involve sexual assault; more
than 354,000 children were abducted by family members; and 451,000 children
ran away; while some local law enforcement officials have been successful in
the investigation and resolution of such crimes, most local agencies lack the
personnel and resources necessary to give this problem the full attention it
requires; a majority of the nation's 17,000 police departments have 10 or
fewer officers; and locating missing children requires a coordinated law
enforcement effort; supplementing local law enforcement agencies with a team
of assigned active Federal agents will allow Federal agents to pool their
resources and expertise in order to assist local agents in the investigation
of the nation's most difficult cases involving missing children.
Senate section 5129, Parent Locator Service, recedes to House.
Senate section 2701, International Parental Kidnapping, is deleted because
already enacted.
TITLE XVIII-RURAL CRIME

SUBTITLE B-LAW ENFORCEMENT FAMILY SUPPORT
Section 210201-House recedes to Senate section 1101, Law Enforcement
Family Support, with modification to designate the Attorney General as the
responsible official, and other minor modifications.
SUBTITLE C-DNA IDENTIFICATION
Sections 210301-06-House sections 1501-06 recede to Senate sections
1001-6, DNA Identification, with modification to ensure the establishment of
a blind proficiency testing program for DNA analysis.
DNA Advisory Board
The Act requires the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation to
appoint an advisory board on DNA quality assurance methods. The Conferees
intend that, in making appointments to the advisory board, the Director of
the FBI shall adhere strictly to all applicable conflict of interest and
ethics laws. In particular, the FBI Director will ensure that no member of
the board will have a commercial or proprietary interest in matters addressed
by the board. To that end, the Director may obtain disclosure statements from
nominees to the board. The Conferees expect that a review of any potential
conflict of interest or ethical considerations will be conducted with the
assistance of the Bureau's Legal Counsel Division, with the FBI Director
retaining final authority regarding appointments to the board.
Proficiency Testing Program
The Conferees, in adopting the DNA Identification Act, recognize the
significance of the development of a blind external proficiency testing
program for DNA analyses. A blind external proficiency test means a test that
is presented to a forensic laboratory through a second agency and appears to
the analysts to involve routine evidence.
Under this Act, the Director of the National Institute of Justice is
directed to study this issue and certify to Congress within one year that (1)
the NIJ has undertaken steps to ensure that an appropriate entity or entities
will establish a blind external proficiency testing program for DNA analyses,
which shall be available to public and private laboratories performing
forensic DNA analyses; (2) that a blind proficiency testing program for DNA
analyses is already available; or (3) that it is not feasible to have a DNA
blind proficiency testing program.
The Conferees fully expect that NIJ will report either that there are one
or more existing DNA blind proficiency testing programs or that it has
undertaken steps to ensure the establishment of one. There are many private
DNA testing laboratories and commercial manufacturers of DNA testing products
that have the technical expertise, individually or through professional and
trade associations, necessary to establish the aforementioned program.
If the NIJ study determines blind external proficiency testing is
feasible, neither State nor local DNA laboratories covered by the Act (i.e.,
those participating in the national DNA index or receiving grants), will be
required by the Act to subscribe to such a blind testing program. The FBI
Laboratory will not be required by the Act to subscribe to a particular blind
testing program identified by NIJ. Participation by State and local
governments should be voluntary and at their own discretion-although
participation in such a program will be an important element of demonstrating
quality control for purposes of having DNA evidence introduced into evidence.
SUBTITLE D-POLICE PATTERN OR PRACTICE
Sections 210401-02-House recedes to Senate sections 1111-12, Police
Pattern or Practice, with modification to section 1112.
SUBTITLE E-IMPROVED TRAINING AND TECHNICAL AUTOMATION
Section 210501-House recedes to Senate section 1031, improved training and
technical automation, with technical and conforming modifications. The
Conferees believe one appropriate use of this program would be to ensure that
States, Indian tribal governments, and local governments are made aware of
advanced law enforcement technologies.
SUBTITLE F-OTHER STATE AND LOCAL AID
Section 210601-Senate recedes to House proposal to reauthorize the Office
of Justice Programs.
Section 210602-House recedes to Senate section 5137, assistance to ease
the increased burdens on State court systems, with modifications.
Section 210603-Senate recedes to House proposal to make money from the
Violent Crime Reduction Trust Fund available to fund activities authorized by
the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act and the National Child Protection
Act of 1993.
Section 103(k) of the "Brady Bill" authorizes "such sums as are necessary"
for the Attorney General to establish a "national instant criminal background
check system." Section 106(b) of "Brady" authorizes $200 million for grants
to States for the improvement of criminal records. Section 4(b) of the
National Child Protection Act of 1993 authorizes $20 million for grants to
States for the improvement of criminal records regarding child abuse. The
Conference Report provides that a total of $150 million may be appropriated
from the Trust Fund for these purposes.

TITLE XXII-MOTOR VEHICLE THEFT PREVENTION
House recedes to Senate sections 1901-03, motor vehicle theft prevention.
TITLE XXIII-VICTIMS OF CRIME
Senate sections 901-02, 912-17, crime victims, recede to House sections
101-21, with the following modifications: allocations of funds are changed to
48.5%, 48.5%, and 3%; the report on battered women's syndrome is moved to
title IV, Violence Against Women. House section 101, with a conforming
amendment, is enacted pursuant to the Rules Enabling Act. House recedes to
Senate section 903, Sense of the Senate regarding Rights to Victims
Allocation, with conforming modification. Senate section 3264 is deleted as
duplicative. Senate section 911 is deleted because already enacted. House
recedes to Senate proposal to amend 10603(a)(5)(B) of title 42, United States
Code.

TITLE XXV-SENIOR CITIZENS AGAINST MARKETING SCAMS
Sections 250001-05, 250008-House recedes to Senate sections 3901-03,
3905-07 and 3910, Senior Citizens Against Marketing Scams (SCAMS), with
modifications. Senate section 3904 recedes to House.
Section 250006-House recedes to Senate section 2103, mail fraud. Senate
section 3908 is deleted as duplicative.
Section 250007-House recedes to Senate section 2102, Consumer Protection
Against Credit Card Fraud Act. Senate section 3909 is deleted as duplicative.
The Conferees note that Congress has found with regard to this issue the
following: Unprecedented Federal law enforcement investigations have
uncovered a national network of illicit telemarketing operations; most of the
telemarketing industry is legitimate, employing over 3,000,000 people through
direct and indirect means; illicit telemarketers, however, are an increasing
problem which victimizes our nation's senior citizens in disproportionate
numbers; interstate telemarketing fraud has become a problem of such
magnitude that the resources of the Department of Justice are not sufficient
to ensure that there is adequate investigation of, and protection from, such
fraud; telemarketing differs from other sales activities in that it can be
carried out by sellers across State lines without direct contact;
telemarketers can also be very mobile, easily moving from State to State; it
is estimated that victims lose billions of dollars a year as a result of
telemarketing fraud; consequently, this legislation is intended to enhance
Federal law enforcement resources, ensure adequate punishment for
telemarketing fraud, and educate the public.
TITLE XXVI-COMMISSION MEMBERSHIP AND APPOINTMENT
Senate sections 1721-30 recede to House sections 3026-27, Commission to
Support Law Enforcement, with modifications.
TITLE XXVII-PRESIDENTIAL SUMMIT ON VIOLENCE AND NATIONAL

House sections 1643-51 and 2601-07 recede to Senate sections 1701-18,
1741-49 and 3241-49 with a modification to establish a National Commission on
Crime Prevention and Control charged with developing a comprehensive proposal
for preventing and controlling crime and violence in America. This Commission
must establish committees or task forces for the following specific purposes:
one to focus on crime and violence generally, one to focus on the causes of
the demand for drugs, one to focus on violence in schools, and one to focus
on violence against women. House recedes to Senate sections 1731-32,
Presidential Summit on Violence, with modification.
TITLE XXVIII-SENTENCING PROVISIONS

specify that of the three vice chairs, no more than two shall be of the same
political party.

Study.
Senate section 2405, mandatory minimums for use or possession of firearm
during a State crime, recedes to House.
Senate section 2502, trial by a magistrate in petty cases, recedes to
House.
TITLE XXIX-COMPUTER CRIME
House recedes to Senate section 2601, computer crime, with minor
modifications.
TITLE XXX-PROTECTION OF PRIVACY INFORMATION IN STATE MOTOR
VEHICLE RECORDS
Senate sections 3101-03, Driver's Privacy Protection Act, recede to House
sections 2901-03 with modifications.
This title prohibits the release and use of certain personal information
except under certain circumstances. One of these exceptions, found in
subsection (b)(3), permits disclosures where a person or entity is seeking
correct information about an individual who presented false information or
information that is no longer correct, "but only for the purpose of
preventing fraud by, pursuing legal remedies against, or recovering on a debt
or security interest against, the individual."
Some State motor vehicle departments may require requestors seeking to use
this exception to certify or state the purpose for which the information is
being sought. While in most cases this practice by the State will not give
rise to further concern, it could pose a problem for debt collectors covered
under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). Section 804 of the
FDCPA provides: "Any debt collector communicating with any person other than
the consumer for the purpose of acquiring location information about the
consumer shall ... (2) not state that such consumer owes any debt."
The interaction of section 804(2) of the FDCPA and subsection (b)(3) of
the Driver's Privacy Protection Act could be interpreted as barring a covered
debt collector from indicating to a State DMV that it was seeking information
for a permitted purpose, thereby barring the debt collector from receiving
information crucial to collecting a debt.
This was clearly not the intention of the drafters of the legislation and
it is not the intention of the Conferees. To the contrary, the drafters of
the legislation and the Conferees intend for debt collectors to be able to
obtain motor vehicle record information without violating section 804(2) of
the FDCPA. In this case, the purpose of disclosing the existence of a debt is
solely to establish the basis for receiving DMV data, not to harass the
debtor. Therefore, the Conferees believe that a statement that the
information is being sought for the purposes of recovering on a debt would
not violate section 804(2). In addition, the Conferees believe it would be
adequate for debt collectors under (b)(3) to state that they are "pursuing
legal remedies against ... the individual," as provided in (b)(3), without
stating that the legal remedies related to a debt. The Conferees believe that
such a statement would not violate section 804 of the FDCPA, which is
intended to prevent debt collectors from harassing a consumer by telling
third parties that the consumer owes a debt. The Conferees believe that a
collector is in no way harassing a consumer by telling a State DMV that
information is sought in connection with "pursuing legal remedies."
The opportunity to prohibit disclosure of personal information
under (b)(11) and (b)(12) does not have to be provided each time a request
for such information is made. Instead, the opportunity to prohibit these
disclosures should be provided at the time an individual registers for or
renews his or her driver's license, title registration or identity card and
at any other time an individual contacts the State on his or her own
initiative to prohibit such disclosures.
Under subsection (b)(13), any requestor may obtain access to an
individual's personal information if the requestor has obtained written
consent from the individual whose personal information is sought. The
Conferees intend that each State must provide that the requestor's
demonstration include a written consent that has been notarized.
TITLE XXXI-VIOLENT CRIME REDUCTION TRUST FUND
Sections 310001-02-House recedes to Senate sections 1352-54 with
modifications as follows: (1) the trust fund covers fiscal years 1995-2000
and totals $30.210 billion; (2) annual outlays from trust fund appropriations
are subject to limits enforceable through sequestration procedures similar to
those applied under the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of
1985 to appropriations in the regular budget process; and (3) the limitations
on the number of total Federal Government personnel is deleted because it has
already been enacted into law (Federal Workforce Restructuring Act of 1994,
P.L. 103-226).
Section 310003-Senate recedes to House proposal to provide for the
extension of authorizations of appropriations.
This section is an "authorization extender" provision intended to assure
the complete and efficient use of all authorizations contained in the Report
and all monies transferred into the Violent Crime Reduction Trust Fund. Under
this provision, if the amount appropriated from the Trust Fund for a given
program in a particular fiscal year is less than the amount authorized for
that program in that year, the unused portion of the authorization remains
available for use for that program in later fiscal years.
For example, if $100 million is authorized for program "A" for fiscal year
1996 but only $75 million is actually appropriated, the remaining $25 million
will be available for appropriations from the Trust Fund in fiscal years 1997
and beyond for that program. The $25 million in authorizations "extended"
beyond fiscal year 1996 need not all be used in fiscal year 1997; it remains
available until funds are appropriated for such authorizations.
Section 310004-Senate recedes to House proposal to provide for flexibility
in making appropriations.
This Section provides "transfer authority" to give the Appropriations
Committees some flexibility in allocating appropriations from the Trust Fund
among the programs included within each of three specified functional
categories. Under these provisions, the $30.2 billion in authorizations
contained in the Report is divided into the following categories: (1) State
and Local Law Enforcement, (2) Federal Law Enforcement and (3) Prevention.
Within each of these categories, the Appropriations Committees will, in any
fiscal year, be permitted to transfer up to 10 percent of the authorization
for a particular program to any other program within the same category.
For example, within the "Federal law enforcement" category, the
Appropriations Committees could decrease the fiscal year 1996 authorization
for program "A" by up to 10 percent and transfer that money to program "B" by
increasing the authorization for "B" by the dollar amount subtracted
from "A".
The transfer authority provided in the Conference Report is subject to
three additional limitations (1) the aggregate amount of authorizations
transferred away from a program over the life of the Trust Fund may not
exceed 10 percent of the program's total authorization; (2) transfer
authority may not be used to increase total authorizations for any of the
three categories for any fiscal year above the level authorized for that
category by the Report; and (3) no transfers between categories are
permitted, e.g., authorizations for "Prevention" programs may not be
transferred to "Federal Law Enforcement" programs.
The following is a list of the programs included in each of the three
broad functional categories:

SUBTITLE G-SAFER STREETS AND NEIGHBORHOODS
Sections 320701-02-House recedes to Senate sections 2951-52, Safer Streets
and Neighborhoods, with technical modifications.
SUBTITLE H-RECREATIONAL HUNTING SAFETY
House recedes to Senate sections 4601-08, Recreational Hunting Safety,
with modifications.
The conference report contains a modified version of Title XLVI of the
Senate amendment, the Recreational Hunting Safety and Preservation Act of
1994. The purpose of this subtitle is to protect the safety and rights of
persons to lawfully engage in hunting and fishing activities on Federal land.
In fashioning the provisions of this subtitle, the Conferees took care to
not infringe on the first amendment right of free speech. The civil penalty
provisions of this subtitle only apply to intentional physical conduct that
significantly hinders a lawful hunt. Conduct is defined to exclude any
activity protected by the first amendment. None of the provisions of this
subtitle are intended to affect or limit in any way first amendment rights.
Nor does the subtitle affect Federal land managers' existing authority to
subject speech to reasonable regulation as to time, place and manner to the
extent it is Constitutionally permissible.
In the interest of clarity, the Conferees have adopted a concise standard
of violation, defined as intentional physical conduct that significantly
hinders a lawful hunt. The Conferees intend that the physical conduct and the
hinderance by considered as unitary; that is, both must be intentional. In
other words, the conduct must be intentional, and must be done with the
intention of significantly hindering a lawful hunt. A violation only occurs
if the hinderance is significant; that is, it must have a negative influence
or effect. The Conferees intend this to mean that incidental conduct which
has de minimis effect on a hunt would not violate this subtitle.
With the principles described above in mind, examples of violations of
this subtitle would include, but not be limited to, driving or disturbing
wildlife; blocking or impeding hunters; using visual, aural, olfactory, or
physical stimuli to affect wildlife behavior; erecting barriers to deny
ingress or egress to areas where a lawful hunt takes place; placing a person
or object in the line of fire; taking, disturbing or damaging property, such
as a hunting blind; abusing a hunting dog; or other conduct intended to slow
or make difficult the progress of a lawful hunt.
SUBTITLE I-OTHER PROVISIONS
Section 320901-House recedes to Senate section 2965, wiretaps, with
technical modification.
Section 320902-House recedes to Senate section 2966, theft of major
artwork, with modifications.
Section 320903-House recedes to Senate section 2969, addition of attempted
robbery, kidnapping, smuggling and property damage offenses.
Section 320904-House recedes to Senate section 2972, to include findings
with respect to the gun-free school zone provisions of the Crime Control Act
of 1990.
Section 320905-House recedes to Senate section 5109, interstate wagering.
Section 320906-Senate recedes to House section 3005 with technical
modifications. The Conferees note that Congress finds with regard to this
section that there are 8,000,000 workers in the trucking industry in the
United States, some working for large carriers and some for small carriers,
some for private carriers and some owner operators, all assisting the free
flow of commerce by transporting all types of commodities that enter, leave,
or move within this country. Unemployment, crime, and drug use have
contributed to an increase of violence against commercial truckers, an
increase that has gone unrecognized by the public at large. As few state or
local authorities report violent crimes against truckers as such to the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, statistics do not reflect this fast-growing
and increasingly violent segment of crime. The Federal Bureau of
Investigation investigated 282 truck hijackings involving crimes of violence
in 1993, not including attempted crimes and crimes addressed by State,
county, and local authorities. The Federal Government in large measure
finances the highway system the trucking industry uses, collecting large sums
in taxes from the industry and licenses, and regulates the industry and its
drivers, entailing a concomitant responsibility to protect them against
crime. Federal law provides protections to truckers in, among others,
sections 33 and 1951 of title 18, United States Code, but currently Federal
prosecutions are not undertaken unless certain monetary thresholds of loss
are met.
Section 320907-House recedes to Senate section 5148 with technical
modifications. The Conferees note the Senate finds with regard to this
section that: (1) the National Center for Health Statistics has reported that
the out-of-wedlock birth rate reached 29.5 percent in 1991 (66.3 percent in
Washington DC., 71.0 percent in Detroit); (2) the out-of-wedlock birth rate
has increased without interruption since 1970, and, as pointed out recently
by George Will, "the rate of increase is not slowing even at extraordinary
levels"; (3) Dr. Lee Rainwater of Harvard University predicts that the rate
will reach 40 percent within 7 years; (4) Professor James Q. Wilson has
described the erosion of the family structure in the United States and
Western nations as "a major cultural convulsion" that is inextricably
associated with the rise of violent urban crime; (5) President Clinton has
stated on the national television program "Meet the Press" that there
is "absolutely" a correlation between crime and drugs and the breakdown of
the family.
Section 320908-House recedes to Senate section 5106 with technical
modifications. The Conferees note the Senate finds with regard to this
section that (1) international criminal activity has increased dramatically
over the past decade and has been facilitated by modern developments in
transportation and communications, relaxed travel restrictions, and the
greatly increased volume of international trade; (2) The expansion of
international criminal activity is reflected in the growth of requests for
mutual legal assistance and extradition made between the United States and
other countries, the number of such requests having increased from 535 in
1984 to 2,238 in 1992; (3) The global reach of organized crime constitutes a
serious threat to the security and stability of sovereign nations; (4) the
expanding scope of international organized crime necessitates greater
cooperation among nations to prosecute and eliminate organized criminal
groups; (5) there is an urgent need for new approaches to allow the
international law enforcement community to pursue international criminals
across national boundaries; (6) The United Nations Convention Against Illicit
Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances has helped bring about
improved international cooperation with respect to narcotics; (7) The current
role of the United Nations with respect to international organized crime is
limited by the lack of a binding international convention dealing with the
broad range of organized criminal activity beyond narcotics; (8) The United
Nations Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice has successfully
facilitated the negotiation and implementation of mutual legal assistance and
extradition treaties between certain nations, and has helped train nations to
effectively execute the terms of such treaties; (9) The United Nations
Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice currently has limited
authority and resources.
Section 320909-House recedes to Senate section 2961, optional venue for
espionage.
Section 320910-House recedes to Senate section 2962, undercover
operations.
Section 320911-House recedes to Senate section 2968, misuse of DEA
initials.
Section 320912-House recedes to Senate section 2970, definition of
livestock, with modification.
Section 320913-House recedes to Senate section 5155, asset forfeiture.
Section 320914-House recedes to Senate section 5156, clarification of
court.
Section 320915-House recedes to Senate section 5164. The Conferees note
that the Senate has found regarding this provision that we are losing control
of our streets and our neighborhoods to gangs, drugs and violent crime;
Americans tolerate a level of violence 5 times that of Canada and 10 times
that of England; this bill establishes a Violent Crime Reduction Trust Fund.
The conference report authorizes the revenues to fund the Trust Fund be
derived from savings resulting from a reduction in Federal personnel; and the
Federal law enforcement agencies charged with carrying out the provisions of
this Act will require substantial manpower to implement the Act.
Section 320916-Senate recedes to House section 3041, traveler protection.
Section 320917-House recedes to Senate section 2971, extension of statute
of limitations for arson, with modifications.

concerning child custody and visitation rights.
Section 320919-Senate recedes to House section 3048, Edward Byrne Memorial
Formula Grant Program.
Section 320920-House recedes to Senate section 5127, Law Day USA with
modification. The Conferees note that the Senate has found with regard to
this program that the first day of May each year has been designated as "Law
Day U.S.A." and set aside as a special day to advance equality and justice
under law, to encourage citizens' support for law enforcement and law
observance, and to foster respect for law and an understanding of the
essential place of law in the life of every citizen of the United States;
each day police officers and other law enforcement personnel perform their
duties unflinchingly and without hesitation; each year tens of thousands of
law enforcement personnel are injured or assaulted in the course of duty and
many are killed; law enforcement personnel are devoted to their jobs, are
underpaid for their efforts and are tireless in their work; and law
enforcement personnel perform their duties without adequate recognition.
Section 320921-House recedes to Senate section 5154 with modifications.
This section ensures that a defendant convicted for the first time will
attend an appropriate rehabilitation program. The Conferees intend that the
courts ensure that defendants who may suffer from organic brain damage or
severe mental illness are referred to the most appropriate rehabilitative
care addressing their specific needs. Further, any rehabilitation program may
refer the defendant back to the court if it determines that its program is
inappropriate for the defendant.
Section 320922-Senate recedes to House section 3001, Display of Flags at
Half Staff.

recedes to House because Indian Tribes are incorporated throughout the bill.
