1 SEC. 3. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

2 (a) The Congress finds and declares:

3 (1) International terrorism remains a serious

4 and deadly problem which threatens the interests of

5 the United States both overseas and within its terri6 tory. States or organizations that practice terrorism

7 or actively support it should not be allowed to do so

8 without serious consequence.
4

S 761 IS

1 (2) International terrorism directed against

2 United States interests must be confronted by the

3 appropriate use of the full array of tools available to

4 the President, including diplomatic, military, eco5 nomic and prosecutive actions.

6 (3) The Nation’s security interests are seriously

7 impacted by terrorist attacks carried out overseas

8 against United States Government facilities, officials

9 and other American citizens present in foreign coun10 tries.

11 (4) United States foreign policy interests are

12 profoundly affected by terrorist acts overseas espe13 cially those directed against friendly foreign govern14 ments and their people and those intended to under15 mine the peaceful resolution of disputes in the Mid16 dle East and other troubled regions.

17 (5) Since the Iranian Revolution of 1979, the

18 defeat of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, the peace

19 initiative in the Middle East, and the fall of com20 munism throughout Eastern Europe and the former

21 Soviet Union, international terrorism has become a

22 more complex problem, with new alliances emerging

23 among terrorist organizations.

24 (6) Violent crime is a pervasive international

25 problem and is exacerbated by the free international
5

S 761 IS

1 movement of drugs, firearms, explosives and individ2 uals dedicated to performing acts of international

3 terrorism who travel using false or fraudulent docu4 mentation.

5 (7) While international terrorists move freely

6 from country to country, ordinary citizens and for7 eign visitors often fear to travel to or through cer8 tain parts of the world due to concern about terror9 ist violence.

10 (8) In addition to the destruction of property

11 and devastation to human life, the occurrence of an

12 international terrorist event results in a decline of

13 tourism and affects the marketplace, thereby having

14 an adverse impact on interstate and foreign com15 merce and economies of friendly nations.

16 (9) International terrorists, violating the sov17 ereignty of foreign countries, attack dissidents and

18 former colleagues living in foreign countries, includ19 ing the United States.

20 (10) International terrorists, both inside and

21 outside the United States, carefully plan attacks and

22 carry them out in foreign countries against innocent

23 victims.

24 (11) There are increasing intelligence indica25 tions of networking between different international
6

S 761 IS

1 terrorist organizations leading to their increased co2 operation and sharing of information and resources

3 in areas of common interest.

4 (12) In response, increased international coordi5 nation of legal and enforcement issues is required,

6 pursuant, for example, to the numerous multilateral

7 conventions in force providing universal prosecutive

8 jurisdiction over persons involved in a variety of ter9 rorist acts, including hostage taking, murder of an

10 internationally protected person, and aircraft piracy

11 and sabotage.

12 (13) Until recently, United States asylum proc13 essing procedures have been complicated and often

14 duplicative, providing a powerful incentive for indi15 viduals, including terrorists, without a genuine

16 claim, to apply for asylum and remain in the United

17 States.

18 (14) The United States Constitution grants

19 Congress the power to establish a uniform rule of

20 naturalization and to make all laws necessary and

21 proper thereto.

22 (15) Part of that power authorizes the Con23 gress to establish laws directly applicable to alien

24 conduct within the United States that harms the
7

S 761 IS

1 foreign relations, domestic tranquility or national se2 curity of the United States.

3 (16) While the vast majority of aliens justify

4 the trust placed in them by United States immigra5 tion policies, an dangerous few utilized access to the

6 United States to carry out their terrorist activity to

7 the detriment of this Nation’s national security and

8 foreign policy interests. Accordingly, international

9 terrorist organizations have been able to create sig10 nificant infrastructures and cells in the United

11 States among aliens who are in this country either

12 temporarily or as permanent resident aliens.

13 (17) International terrorist organizations, act14 ing through affiliated groups and/or individuals,

15 have been raising significant funds within the Unit16 ed States, often through misrepresentation of their

17 purposes or subtle forms of extortion, or using the

18 United States as a conduit for transferring funds

19 among countries.

20 (18) The provision of funds to organizations

21 that engage in terrorism serves to facilitate their

22 terrorist activities regardless of whether the funds,

23 in whole or in part, are intended or claimed to be

24 used for non-violent purposes.
8

S 761 IS

1 (19) Certain foreign governments and inter2 national terrorist organizations have directed their

3 members or sympathizers residing in the United

4 States to take measures in support of terrorist acts,

5 either within or outside the United States.

6 (20) Present Federal law does not adequately

7 reach all terrorist activity likely to be engaged in by

8 aliens within the United States.

9 (21) Law enforcement officials have been hin10 dered in using current immigration law to deport

11 alien terrorists because the law fails to provide pro12 cedures to protect classified intelligence sources and

13 information. Moreover, a few high ranking members

14 of terrorist organizations have been naturalized as

15 United States citizens because denial of such natu16 ralizations would have necessitated public disclosure

17 of highly classified sources and methods. Further18 more, deportation hearings frequently extend over

19 several years, thus hampering the expeditious re20 moval of aliens engaging in terrorist activity.

21 (22) Present immigration law is inadequate to

22 protect the United States from terrorist attacks by

23 certain aliens. New procedures are needed to permit

24 expeditious removal of alien terrorists from the Unit25 ed States, thereby reducing the threat that such
9

S 761 IS

1 aliens pose to the national security and other vital

2 interests of the United States.

3 (23) International terrorist organizations that

4 have infrastructure support within the United States

5 are believed to have been responsible for—

6 (A) conspiring in 1982 to bomb the Turk7 ish Honorary Consulate in Philadelphia, Penn8 sylvania;

9 (B) bombing the Marine barracks in Leb10 anon in 1983;

11 (C) holding Americans hostage in Lebanon

12 from 1984–1991;

13 (D) hijacking in 1984 Kuwait Airlines

14 Flight 221 during which two American employ15 ees of the Agency for International Develop16 ment were murdered;

17 (E) hijacking in 1985 TWA Flight 847

18 during which a United States Navy diver was

19 murdered;

20 (F) murdering in 1985 an American tour21 ist aboard the Achille Lauro cruise liner;

22 (G) hijacking in 1985 Egypt Air Flight

23 648 during which one American and one Israeli

24 were killed;
10

S 761 IS

1 (H) murdering in 1985 four members of

2 the United States Marine Corps in El Salvador;

3 (I) attacking in December 1985 the Rome

4 and Vienna airports resulting in the death of a

5 young American girl;

6 (J) hijacking in 1986 Pan Am Flight 73 in

7 Karachi, Pakistan, in which 44 Americans were

8 held hostage and two were killed;

9 (K) conspiring in 1986 in New York City

10 to bomb an Air India aircraft;

11 (L) bombing in April 1988 the USO club

12 in Naples, Italy, killing one American service13 woman and injuring four American servicemen;

14 (M) attacking in 1988 the Greek cruise

15 ship ‘‘City of Poros’’;

16 (N) bombing in 1988 Pan Am Flight 103

17 resulting in 270 deaths;

18 (O) bombing in 1989 UTA Flight 772 re19 sulting in 171 deaths, including seven Ameri20 cans;

21 (P) murdering in 1989 a United States

22 Marine Corps officer assigned to the United

23 Nations Truce Supervisory Organization in

24 Lebanon;
11

S 761 IS

1 (Q) downing in January 1991 a United

2 States military helicopter in El Salvador caus3 ing the death of a United States military crew4 man as a result of the crash and subsequently

5 murdering its two surviving United States mili6 tary crewmen;

7 (R) bombing in February 1992 the United

8 States Ambassador’s residence in Lima, Peru;

9 (S) bombing in February 1993 a cafe in

10 Cairo, Egypt, which wounded two United States

11 citizens;

12 (T) bombing in February 1993 the World

13 Trade Center in New York City, resulting in six

14 deaths;

15 (U) conspiring in the New York City area

16 in 1993 to destroy several government buildings

17 and tunnels;

18 (V) wounding in October 1994 two United

19 States citizens on a crowded street in Jerusa20 lem, Israel;

21 (W) kidnapping and subsequently murder22 ing in October 1994 a dual citizen of the Unit23 ed States and Israel; and

24 (X) numerous bombings and murders in

25 Northern Ireland over the past decade.

S 761 IS

1 (24) Nuclear materials, including byproduct

2 materials, can be used to create radioactive dispersal

3 devices which are capable of causing serious bodily

4 injury as well as substantial damage to property and

5 the environment.

6 (25) The potential use of nuclear materials, in7 cluding byproduct materials, enhances the threat

8 posed by terrorist activities and thereby has a great9 er effect on the security interests of the United

10 States.

11 (26) Due to the widespread hazards presented

12 by the threat of nuclear contamination, as well as

13 nuclear bombs, the United States has strong interest

14 in assuring that persons who are engaged in the ille15 gal acquisition and use of nuclear materials, includ16 ing byproduct materials, are prosecuted for their of17 fenses.

18 (27) The threat that the nuclear materials will

19 be obtained and used by terrorist and other criminal

20 organizations has increased substantially due to

21 international developments in the years since the en22 actment in 1982 of the legislation which imple23 mented the Convention of the Physical Protection of

24 Nuclear Material, codified at section 831 of title 18,

25 United States Code.
13

S 761 IS

1 (28) The successful effort to obtain agreements

2 from other countries to dismantle and destroy nu3 clear weapons has resulted in increased packaging

4 and transportation of nuclear materials, thereby cre5 ating more opportunities for their unlawful diversion

6 or theft;

7 (29) The illicit trafficking in the relatively more

8 common, commercially available and useable nuclear

9 and byproduct materials poses a potential to cause

10 significant loss of life and/or environmental damage.

11 (30) Reported trafficking incidents in the early

12 1990’s suggest that the individuals involved in traf13 ficking these materials from Eurasia and Eastern

14 Europe frequently conducted their black market

15 sales within the Federal Republic of Germany, the

16 Baltic States, and to a lesser extent in the Middle

17 European countries.

18 (31) The international community has become

19 increasingly concerned over the illegal possession of

20 nuclear and nuclear byproduct materials.

21 (32) The potentially disastrous ramifications of

22 increased access by terrorists to nuclear and nuclear

23 byproduct material pose such a significant future

24 threat that the United States must use all lawful
14

S 761 IS

1 methods available to combat the illegal use of such

2 materials.

3 (33) The United States has an interest in en4 couraging United States corporations to do business

5 in the countries which comprised the former Soviet

6 Union, as well as in other developing democracies;

7 protection of such corporations from threats created

8 by the unlawful use of nuclear materials is impor9 tant to encourage such business ventures, and to

10 further the foreign relations and commerce of the

11 United States.

12 (34) The nature of nuclear contamination is

13 such that it may affect the health, environment, and

14 property of United States nationals even if the acts

15 which constitute the illegal activity occur outside the

16 territory of the United States, and are primarily di17 rected toward non-nationals of the United States.

18 (35) Plastic explosives were used by terrorists

19 in the bombings of Pan Am flight 103 in December

20 1988 and UTA flight 772 in September 1989.

21 (36) Plastic explosives currently can be used

22 with little likelihood of detection for acts of unlawful

23 interference with civil aviation, maritime navigation,

24 and other modes of transportation.
15

S 761 IS

1 (37) The marking of plastic explosives for the

2 purpose of detection would contribute significantly to

3 the prevention and punishment of such unlawful

4 acts.

5 (38) In order to deter and detect the unlawful

6 use of plastic explosives, the Convention on the

7 Marking of Plastic Explosives for Purpose of Detec8 tion, done at Montreal on 1 March 1991, requires

9 each contracting State to adopt appropriate meas10 ures to ensure that plastic explosives are duly

11 marked and controlled.

12 The Congress further finds:

13 (39) Such international terrorist offenses place

14 innocent lives in jeopardy, endanger national secu15 rity, affect domestic tranquility, and gravely impact

16 on interstate and foreign commerce.

17 (40) Such international terrorist offenses in18 volved international associations, communication,

19 and mobility which can often be addressed effectively

20 only at the Federal law enforcement level.

21 (41) There previously has been no Federal

22 criminal statute which provides a comprehensive

23 basis for addressing acts of international terrorism

24 carried out within the United States.
16

S 761 IS

1 (42) There previously has been no Federal pro2 vision that specifically prohibits fund raising within

3 the United States on behalf of international terrorist

4 organizations.

5 (43) There previously has been no adequate

6 procedure under the immigration law that permits

7 the expeditious removal of resident and non-resident

8 alien terrorists.

9 (44) There previously has been no Federal

10 criminal statute which provides adequate protection

11 to United States interests from non-weapons grade,

12 yet hazardous radioactive material, and from the il13 legal diversion of nuclear materials which are held

14 for other than peaceful purposes.

15 (45) There previously has been no Federal law

16 that requires the marking of plastic explosives to im17 prove their detectability.

18 (46) Congress has the power under the inter19 state and foreign commerce clause, and other provi20 sions of the Constitution, to enact the following

21 measures against international terrorism in order to

22 help ensure the integrity and safety of the Nation.

23 (b) The purposes of this Act are to provide—

24 (1) Federal law enforcement the necessary tools

25 and fullest possible basis allowed under the Con-
17

S 761 IS

1 stitution of the United States to address, pursuant

2 to the rule of law, acts of international terrorism oc3 curring within the United States, or directed against

4 the United States or its nationals anywhere in the

5 world;

6 (2) the Federal Government the fullest possible

7 basis, consistent with the Constitution, of the United

8 States, to prevent persons and organizations within

9 the jurisdiction of the United States from providing

10 funds, directly or indirectly, to organizations, includ11 ing subordinate or affiliated persons, designated by

12 the President as engaging in terrorism, unless au13 thorized under this Act;

14 (3) procedures which, consistent with principles

15 of fundamental fairness, will allow the government

16 to deport resident and non-resident alien terrorists

17 promptly without compromising intelligence sources

18 and methods;

19 (4) provide Federal law enforcement the nec20 essary tools and fullest possible basis allowed under

21 the Constitution of the United States to combat the

22 threat of nuclear contamination and proliferation

23 which may result from illegal possession and use of

24 radioactive materials; and

1 (5) fully implement the Convention on the

14 TITLE II—IMMIGRATION LAW

15 IMPROVEMENTS

16 SEC. 201. ALIEN TERRORIST REMOVAL PROCEDURES.

17 (a) FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.—

18 (1) The Congress hereby finds that—

19 (A) international terrorism is a serious and

20 deadly problem which threatens the interests of

21 this Nation overseas and within our territory;

22 (B) until recently, United States asylum

23 processing procedures have been complicated

24 and often duplicative, providing a powerful in25 centive for individuals, including terrorists,
34

S 761 IS

1 without a genuine claim, to apply for asylum

2 and remain in the United States;

3 (C) while most aliens justify the trust

4 placed in them by our immigration policies, a

5 dangerous few utilized access to the United

6 States to create significant infrastructures and

7 cells in the United States in order to carry out

8 their terrorist activity to the detriment of the

9 Nation’s national security and foreign policy in10 terests;

11 (D) the bombing of the World Trade Cen12 ter exemplifies the danger posed to the United

13 States and its citizens by alien terrorists;

14 (E) similarly, some foreign terrorist orga15 nizations utilize associated aliens within the

16 United States to raise funds to facilitate their

17 overseas terrorist acts against United States

18 nationals as well as against foreign govern19 ments and their citizens; and

20 (F) current immigration laws and proce21 dures are not effective in addressing the alien

22 terrorist problem, as they require the govern23 ment to place sensitive intelligence sources and

24 methods at risk and allow the alien to remain

25 within the United States for the prolonged pe-
35

S 761 IS

1 riod necessary to pursue a deportation action.

2 Moreover, under the current statutory frame3 work a few high ranking members of terrorist

4 organizations have been naturalized as United

5 States citizens because denial of such natu6 ralizations would have necessitated public dis7 closure of highly classified sources and methods.

8 (2) The purpose of this section is to provide

9 procedures which, consistent with principles of fun10 damental fairness, will allow the government to de11 port alien terrorists promptly without compromising

12 intelligence sources and methods.

13 (b) ALIEN REMOVAL PROCEDURES.—The Immigra14 tion and Nationality Act is amended—

15 (1) by adding at the end of the table of con16 tents the following:

‘‘TITLE V—ALIEN TERRORIST REMOVAL PROCEDURES

‘‘Sec. 501. Applicability.

‘‘Sec. 502. Special removal hearing.

‘‘Sec. 503. Designation of judges.

‘‘Sec. 504. Miscellaneous provisions.’’;

17 and

18 (2) by adding at the end the following new title:
36

S 761 IS

1 ‘‘TITLE V—ALIEN TERRORIST REMOVAL

2 PROCEDURES

3 ‘‘APPLICABILITY

4 ‘‘SEC. 501. (a) The provisions of this title may be

5 followed in the discretion of the Department of Justice

6 whenever the Department of Justice has classified infor7 mation that an alien described in paragraph 4(B) of sec8 tion 241(a), as amended, is subject to deportation because

9 of such section. For purposes of this title, the terms ‘clas10 sified information’ and ‘national security’ shall have the

11 meaning prescribed in section 1 of the Classified Informa12 tion Procedures Act, 18 U.S.C. App. III 1.

13 ‘‘(b) Whenever an official of the Department of Jus14 tice files, under section 502, an application with the court

15 established under section 503 for authorization to seek re16 moval pursuant to the provisions of this title, the alien’s

17 rights regarding removal and expulsion shall be governed

18 solely by the provisions of this title. Except as they are

19 specifically referenced, no other provisions of the Immigra20 tion and Nationality Act shall be applicable. An alien sub21 ject to removal under these provisions shall have no right

22 of discovery of information derived from electronic surveil23 lance authorized under the Foreign Intelligence Surveil24 lance Act (50 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) or otherwise for na25 tional security purposes. Nor shall such alien have the
37

S 761 IS

1 right to seek suppression of evidence. Further, the govern2 ment is authorized to use, in the removal proceedings, the

3 fruits of electronic surveillance and/or unconsented phys4 ical searches authorized under the Foreign Intelligence

5 Surveillance Act without regard to subsections 106(c), (e),

6 (f), (g), and (h) of that Act. The provisions and require7 ments of section 3504 of title 18, United States Code,

8 shall not apply to procedures under this title.

9 ‘‘(c) This title is enacted in response to findings of

10 Congress that aliens described in paragraph 4(B) of sec11 tion 241(a), as amended, represent a unique threat to the

12 security of the United States. It is the intention of Con13 gress that such aliens be promptly removed from the

14 United States following—

15 ‘‘(1) a judicial determination of probable cause

16 to believe that such person is such an alien; and

17 ‘‘(2) a judicial determination pursuant to the

18 provisions of this title that an alien is removable on

19 the grounds that he or she is an alien described in

20 paragraph 4(B) of section 241(a), as amended.

21 The Congress furthers intends that, other than as pro22 vided by this title, such aliens shall not be given a deporta23 tion hearing and are ineligible for any discretionary relief

24 from deportation or for relief under section 243(h).

20 by the court (including the posting of any monetary

21 amount), if the alien demonstrates to the court that the

19 representation for any person financially unable to obtain

20 adequate representation for the district in which the hear21 ing is conducted, as provided for in section 3006A of title

22 18, United States Code. All provisions of that section shall

23 apply and, for purposes of determining the maximum

24 amount of compensation, the matter shall be treated as

25 if a felony was charged. The alien may be called as a wit-
47

S 761 IS

1 ness by the Department of Justice. The alien shall have

2 a right to introduce evidence on his own behalf. Except

3 as provided in subsection (j), the alien shall have a reason4 able opportunity to examine the evidence against him and

5 to cross-examine any witness. A verbatim record of the

6 proceedings and of all testimony and evidence offered or

7 produced at such a hearing shall be kept. The decision

8 of the judge shall be based only on the evidence introduced

9 at the hearing, including evidence introduced under sub10 section (j).

11 ‘‘(i) At any time prior to the conclusion of the special

12 removal hearing, either the alien or the Department of

13 Justice may request the judge to issue a subpoena for the

14 presence of a named witness (which subpoena may also

15 command the person to whom it is directed to produce

16 books, papers, documents, or other objects designated

17 therein) upon a satisfactory showing that the presence of

18 the witness is necessary for the determination of any ma19 terial matter. Such a request may be made ex parte except

20 that the judge shall inform the Department of Justice of

21 any request for a subpoena by the alien for a witness or

22 material if compliance with such a subpoena would reveal

23 evidence or the source of evidence which has been intro24 duced, or which the Department of Justice has received

25 permission to introduce, in camera and ex parte pursuant
48

S 761 IS

1 to subsection (j), and the Department of Justice shall be

2 given a reasonable opportunity to oppose the issuance of

3 such a subpoena. If an application for a subpoena by the

4 alien also makes a showing that the alien is financially

5 unable to pay for the attendance of a witness so requested,

6 the court may order the costs incurred by the process and

7 the fees of the witness so subpoenaed to be paid for from

8 funds appropriated for the enforcement of title II. A sub9 poena under this subsection may be served anywhere in

10 the United States. A witness subpoenaed under this sub11 section shall receive the same fees and expenses as a wit12 ness subpoenaed in connection with a civil proceeding in

13 a court of the United States. Nothing in this subsection

14 is intended to allow an alien to have access to classified

15 information.

16 ‘‘(j) When classified information has been summa17 rized pursuant to subsection (e)(1) or where a finding has

18 been made under subsection (e)(2) that no summary is

19 possible, classified information shall be introduced (either

20 in writing or through testimony) in camera and ex parte

21 and neither the alien nor the public shall be informed of

22 such evidence or its sources other than through reference

23 to the summary provided pursuant to subsection (e)(1).

24 Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Department of

25 Justice may, in its discretion and, in the case of classified
49

S 761 IS

1 information, after coordination with the originating agen2 cy, elect to introduce such evidence in open session.

3 ‘‘(k) Evidence introduced at the special removal hear4 ing, either in open session or in camera and ex parte, may,

5 in the discretion of the Department of Justice, include all

6 or part of the information presented under subsections (a)

7 through (c) used to obtain the order for the hearing under

8 this section.

9 ‘‘(l) Following the receipt of evidence, the attorneys

10 for the Department of Justice and for the alien shall be

11 given fair opportunity to present argument as to whether

12 the evidence is sufficient to justify the removal of the

13 alien. The attorney for the Department of Justice shall

14 open the argument. the attorney for the alien shall be per15 mitted to reply. The attorney for the Department of Jus16 tice shall then be permitted to reply in rebuttal. The judge

17 may allow any part of the argument that refers to evidence

18 received in camera and ex parte to be heard in camera

19 and ex parte.

20 ‘‘(m) The Department of Justice has the burden of

21 showing by clear and convincing evidence that the alien

22 is subject to removal because he is an alien as described

23 in paragraph 4(B) of subsection 241(a) of this Act (8

24 U.S.C. 1251(a)(4)(B)), as amended. If the judge finds

25 that the Department of Justice has met this burden, the
50

S 761 IS

1 judge shall order the alien removed and, if the alien is

2 a resident alien who was released pending the special re3 moval hearing, order the Attorney General to take the

4 alien into custody.

5 ‘‘(n)(1) At the time of rendering a decision as to

6 whether the alien shall be removed, the judge shall prepare

7 a written order containing a statement of facts found and

8 conclusions of law. Any portion of the order that would

9 reveal the substance or source of information received in

10 camera and ex parte pursuant to subsection (j) shall not

11 be made available to the alien or the public.

12 ‘‘(2) The decision of the judge may be appealed by

13 either the alien or the Department of Justice to the United

14 States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Cir15 cuit by notice of appeal which must be filed within twenty

16 days, during which time such order shall not be executed.

17 In any case appealed pursuant to this subsection, the en18 tire record shall be transmitted to the Court of Appeals

19 and information received pursuant to subsection (j), and

20 any portion of the judge’s order that would reveal the sub21 stance or source of such information shall be transmitted

22 under seal. The Court of Appeals shall consider the case

23 as expeditiously as possible.

24 ‘‘(3) In an appeal to the Court of Appeals pursuant

25 to either subsection (d) or (e) of this section, the Court
51

S 761 IS

1 of Appeals shall review questions of law de novo, but a

2 prior finding on any question of fact shall not be set aside

3 unless such finding was clearly erroneous.

4 ‘‘(o) If the judge decides pursuant to subsection (n)

5 that the alien should not be removed, the alien shall be

6 released from custody unless such alien may be arrested

7 and taken into custody pursuant to title II of this Act

8 as an alien subject to deportation, in which case, for pur9 poses of detention, such alien may be treated in accord10 ance with the provisions of this Act concerning the depor11 tation of aliens.

12 ‘‘(p) Following a decision by the Court of Appeals

13 pursuant to either subsection (d) or (n), either the alien

14 or the Department of Justice may petition the Supreme

15 Court for a writ of certiorari. In any such case, any infor16 mation transmitted to the Court of Appeals under seal

17 shall, if such information is also submitted to the Supreme

18 Court, be transmitted under seal. Any order of removal

19 shall not be stayed pending disposition of a writ of certio20 rari except as provided by the Court of Appeals or a Jus21 tice of the Supreme Court.

22 ‘‘(q) The Department of Justice retains the right to

23 dismiss a removal action at any stage of the proceeding.

24 ‘‘(r) Nothing in this section shall prevent the United

25 States from seeking protective orders and/or asserting
52

S 761 IS

6 their people;

7 ‘‘(D) United States economic interests are

8 significantly impacted by terrorist attacks car9 ried out in foreign countries against United

10 States citizens and businesses;

11 ‘‘(E) international cooperation is required

12 for an effective response to terrorism, as dem13 onstrated by the numerous multilateral conven14 tions in force providing universal prosecutive ju15 risdiction over persons involved in a variety of

16 terrorist acts, e.g., hostage taking, murder of

12 proceeding brought by the United States under

1 TITLE V—NUCLEAR MATERIALS

2 SEC. 501. EXPANSION OF NUCLEAR MATERIALS PROHIBI3 TIONS.

4 (a)(1) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds and declares:

5 (A) Nuclear materials, including byproduct ma6 terials, can be used to create radioactive dispersal

7 devices which are capable of causing serious bodily

8 injury as well as substantial damage to property and

9 the environment.

10 (B) The potential use of nuclear materials, in11 cluding byproduct materials, enhances the threat

12 posed by terrorist activities and thereby has a great13 er effect on the security interests of the United

14 States.

15 (C) Due to the widespread hazards presented

16 by the threat of nuclear contamination, as well as

17 nuclear bombs, the United States has a strong inter18 est in assuring that persons who are engaged in the

19 illegal acquisition and use of nuclear materials, in20 cluding byproduct materials, are prosecuted for their

21 offenses.

22 (D) The threat that nuclear materials will be

23 obtained and used by terrorist and other criminal or24 ganizations has increased substantially since the en25 actment in 1982 of the legislation which imple-
95

S 761 IS

1 mented the Convention on the Physical Protection of

2 Nuclear Material, codified at section 831 of title 18,

3 United States Code.

4 (E) The successful efforts to obtain agreements

5 from other countries to dismantle nuclear weapons

6 have resulted in increased packaging and transpor7 tation of nuclear materials, thereby decreasing the

8 security of such materials by increasing the oppor9 tunity for unlawful diversion and theft.

10 (F) The illicit trafficking in the relatively more

11 common, commercially available and usable nuclear

12 and byproduct materials poses a potential to cause

13 significant loss of life and/or environmental damage.

14 (G) Reported trafficking incidents in the early

15 1990’s suggest that the individuals involved in traf16 ficking these materials from Eurasia and Eastern

17 Europe frequently conducted their black market

18 sales of these materials within the Federal Republic

19 of Germany, the Baltic States, and to a lesser extent

20 in the Middle European countries.

21 (H) The international community has become

22 increasingly concerned over the illegal possession of

23 nuclear and nuclear byproduct materials.

24 (I) The potentially disastrous ramifications of

25 increased access to nuclear and nuclear byproduct
96

S 761 IS

1 materials pose such a significant future threat that

2 the United States must use all lawful methods avail3 able to combat the illegal use of such materials.

4 (J) The United States has an interest in en5 couraging United States corporations to do business

6 in the countries which comprised the former Soviet

7 Union, as well as in other developing democracies;

8 protection of such United States corporations from

9 threats created by the unlawful use of nuclear mate10 rials is important to the success of the effort to en11 courage such business ventures, and to further the

12 foreign relations and commerce of the United States.

13 (K) The nature of nuclear contamination is

14 such that it may affect the health, environment, and

15 property of United States nationals even if the acts

16 which constitute the illegal activity occur outside the

17 territory of the United States, and are primarily di18 rected toward non-United States nationals.

19 (L) There is presently no Federal criminal stat20 ute which provides adequate protection to United

21 States interests from non-weapons grade, yet haz22 ardous radioactive material, and from the illegal di23 version of nuclear materials which are held for other

24 than peaceful purposes.
97

S 761 IS

1 (2) PURPOSE.—The purpose of the Act is to provide

2 Federal law enforcement the necessary tools and fullest

3 possible basis allowed under the Constitution of the

4 United States to combat the threat of nuclear contamina5 tion and proliferation which may result from illegal posses6 sion and use of radioactive materials.

7 (b) EXPANSION OF SCOPE AND JURISDICTIONAL

8 BASES.—Section 831 of title 18, United States Code, is

7 (15) striking ‘‘and’’ at the end of subsection

8 (f)(4), as redesignated;

9 (16) striking the period at the end of subsection

10 (f)(5), as redesignated, and inserting a semicolon;

12 (17) adding at the end of subsection (f) the fol13 lowing new paragraphs:

14 ‘‘(6) the term ‘national of the United States’

15 has the meaning prescribed in section 101(a)(22) of

16 the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.

17 1101(a)(22)); and

18 ‘‘(7) the term ‘United States corporation or
