ant’s conduct to the requirements of law was signifi-
cantly impaired, regardless of whether the capacity
was so impaired as to constitute a defense to the
charge.
‘‘(2) DURESS.—The defendant was under un-
usual and substantial duress, regardless of whether
the duress was of such a degree as to constitute a
defense to the charge.
‘‘(3) PARTICIPATION IN OFFENSE MINOR.—The
defendant is punishable as a principal in the offense,
which was committed by another, but the defend-
ant’s participation was relatively minor, regardless
of whether the participation was so minor as to con-
stitute a defense to the charge.
The jury, or if there is no jury, the court, shall consider
whether any other aspect of the defendant’s character or
record or any other circumstances of the offense that the
defendant may proffer as a mitigating factor exists.
‘‘(b) AGGRAVATING FACTORS FOR ESPIONAGE AND
TREASON.—In determining whether a sentence of death
is justified for an offense described in section 3591(1), the
jury, or if there is no jury, the court, shall consider each
of the following aggravating factors and determine which,
if any, exist:
shall instruct the jury that, in considering whether a sen-
tence of death is justified, it shall not consider the race,
color, religious beliefs, national origin, or sex of the de-
fendant or of any victim and that the jury is not to rec-
ommend 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 sub-
section (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 the juror’s indi-
vidual 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, reli-
gious beliefs, national origin, or sex of the defendant or
any victim may be.
‘‘§ 3594. Imposition of a sentence of death
‘‘Upon the recommendation under section 3593(e),
that a sentence of death be imposed, the court shall sen-
tence the defendant to death. Otherwise the court shall
impose a sentence, other than death, authorized by law.
Notwithstanding any other law, if the maximum term of
imprisonment for the offense is life imprisonment, the

To establish certain requirments relating to the transfer or disposal of public
lands managed by the Bureau of Land management, and for other purposes.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
NOVEMBER 19, 1993
Mr. HEFLEY introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Natural Resources
A BILL
To establish certain requirments relating to the transfer or
disposal of public lands managed by the Bureau of Land
management, 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. FINDINGS
The Congress finds that—
(1) the Bureau of Land Management presently
holds title to 1,800,000,000 acres of public land,
(2) much of this land is marginal in value and
left over from the 19th century,
(3) in many cases, the costs of maintaining and
surveying this land far exceed the actual value of
these parcels,
(4) the agency is presently facing a sizable
budget backlog which is hampering its ability to
properly manage all of this property,
(5) under the Federal Land Policy and Man-
agement Act of 1976, the Bureau is required to
identify public lands suitable for sale, exchange, or
transfer, and
(6) the transfer of some of these parcels could
effect budget savings and greater management effi-
ciencies for the Bureau.
SEC. 2. TRANSFER OR DISPOSAL OF PUBLIC LANDS.
Annual budget requests submitted by the Secretary
