To amend title 18, United States Code, to provide increased penalties for
damaging Federal property by fire, and for other purposes.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
NOVEMBER 16, 1993
Mr. COX (for himself, Mr. DOOLITTLE, Mr. BAKER of California, Mr.
HUFFINGTON, Mr. MOORHEAD, Mr. HERGER, Mr. HORN, Mr. ROYCE,
Mr. LEWIS of California, Mr. ROHRABACHER, Mr. PACKARD, Mr.

VERT, Mr. DREIER, Mr. KIM, Mr. POMBO, Mr. MCKEON, Mr. DORNAN,
Mr. THOMAS of California, Mr. BALLENGER, Mr. MCCANDLESS, and
Mr. WELDON) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary
A BILL
To amend title 18, United States Code, to provide increased
penalties for damaging Federal property by fire, and
for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Arson Prevention and
National Forest Protection Act’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds that—
HR 3521 IH
ignate a Chairperson and Vice Chairperson of the
Commission.
(8) VACANCIES.—A vacancy in the Commission
shall be filled not later than 30 days after the Com-
mission is informed of the vacancy in the manner in
which the original appointment was made.
(9) COMPENSATION.—
(A) NO PAY, ALLOWANCE, OR BENEFIT.—
Members of the Commission shall receive no
pay, allowances, or benefits by reason of their
service on the Commission.
(B) TRAVEL EXPENSES.—A member of the
Commission shall receive travel expenses, in-
cluding per diem in lieu of subsistence, in ac-
cordance with sections 5702 and 5703 of title
5, United States Code.
SEC. 3. DUTIES.
The Commission shall—
(1) review the effectiveness of traditional crimi-
nal justice approaches in preventing and controlling
crime and violence;
(2) examine the impact that changes to Federal
and State law have had in controlling crime and vio-
lence;
(1) billions of dollars of damage will have oc-
curred this year as a result of arson, particularly in
California;
(2) uninsured losses from California’s fire dis-
aster will place hugh demands on the Federal treas-
ury, which our already strapped budget can ill af-
ford;
(3) unless Congress takes tough action against
arson, taxpayers across America will continue to be
threatened;
(4) arson is an enormously serious and costly
problem in both rural and urban areas, and is re-
sponsible for approximately 25 percent of all fires in
the United States;
(5) arson is a leading cause of fire deaths, ac-
counting for approximately 700 deaths annually in
the United States;
(6) arson is the leading cause of property dam-
age due to fire in the United States and estimates
of arson property loss exceed $2,000,000,000 annu-
ally, or approximately 1 of every 4 dollars lost to
fire;
(7) while arson is a heinous crime against hu-
manity and nature, current Federal law provides
that the maximum prison sentence for most arson is
only 5 years; and
(8) in light of the spectacular television cov-
erage of the 1993 California fires, increased pen-
alties for arson are necessary to protect against
‘‘copycat’’ miscreants in search of morbid glory.
SEC. 3. INCREASED PENALTIES.
(a) IN GENERAL.—Chapter 5 of title 18, United
States Code, is amended by adding at the end the follow-
ing:
‘‘§ 82. Penalties for arson
‘‘(a) Whoever, with intent to cause damage to or de-
stroy personal or real property, intentionally and mali-
ciously causes, or attempts to cause, a fire, shall, if such
fire damages or destroys personal or real property in whole
or in part owned, possessed, or used by, or leased to, the
United States, or any department or agency thereof, be
fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20
years, or both, except as provided in subsection (b) of this
section.
‘‘(b) If a circumstance exists that is listed below, the
punishment for an offense under this subsection shall be
increased so that the maximum penalties are as follows:
‘‘(1) If a dwelling is destroyed as a result of the
offense, a fine under this title or imprisonment for
not more than 25 years, or both.
‘‘(2) If the life of any person is placed in jeop-
ardy as a result of the offense, a fine under this title
or imprisonment for not more than 30 years, or

‘‘(3) If personal injury results, a fine under this
title and imprisonment for not less than 20 nor
more than 40 years.
‘‘(4) If the death of any person results—

ment for any term of years greater than 25 (or
imprisonment for life); and
‘‘(B) the death penalty as provided in sec-
tion 34 of this title.’’.
(b) CLERICAL AMENDMENT.—The table of sections
at the beginning of chapter 5 of title 18, United States
Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new
item:
‘‘82. Penalties for arson.’’.
