Question: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

        This Act may be cited as the ``Gun Crime Enforcement and Second 
Amendment Restoration Act of 1996''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

        The Congress finds the following:
            (1) One of the primary duties of government is to protect 
        its citizens from armed violent criminals. America's cherished 
        liberty and the social and economic prosperity of its 
        communities are dependent upon government's ability to maintain 
        public safety.
            (2) Criminals, by definition, operate outside the law and 
        routinely acquire firearms when they so desire. Banning 
        specific types of firearms has no effect on the moral behavior 
        of those who choose to inflict harm on innocent citizens.
            (3) The most effective way to protect the public from gun-
        wielding violent criminals is to arrest, convict, and 
        incarcerate such predators, and to ensure that they serve 
        sentences of sufficient length to prevent them from returning 
        quickly to the streets.

SEC. 3. ARMED VIOLENT CRIMINAL APPREHENSION DIRECTIVE.

        (a) In General.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Attorney General of the United States shall 
establish an armed violent criminal apprehension program consistent

        assistant United States attorney to prosecute armed violent 
        criminals.
            (2) Each United States attorney shall establish an armed 
        violent criminal apprehension task force comprised of 
        appropriate law enforcement representatives. The task force 
        shall develop strategies for removing armed violent criminals 
        from the streets, taking into consideration--
                    (A) the importance of severe punishment in 
                deterring armed violent crime;
                    (B) the effectiveness of Federal and State laws 
                pertaining to apprehension and prosecution of armed 
                violent criminals;
                    (C) the resources available to each law enforcement 
                agency participating in the task force;
                    (D) the nature and extent of the violent crime 
                occurring in the district for which the United States 
                attorney is appointed; and
                    (E) the principle of limited Federal involvement in 
                the prosecution of crimes traditionally prosecuted in 
                State and local jurisdictions.
            (3) Not less frequently than monthly, the Attorney General 
        shall require each United States attorney to report to the 
        Department of Justice the number of defendants charged with, or 
        convicted of, violating section 922(g) or 924 of title 18, 
        United States Code, in the district for which the United States 
        attorney is appointed.
            (4) Not less frequently than twice annually, the Attorney 
        General shall submit to the Congress a compilation of the 
        information received by the Department of Justice pursuant to 
        paragraph (3) and a report on all waivers granted under 
        subsection (b).
        (b) Waiver Authority.--
            (1) Request for waiver.--A United States attorney may 
        request the Attorney General to waive the requirements of 
        subsection (a) with respect to the United States attorney.
            (2) Provision of waiver.--The Attorney General may waive 
        the requirements of subsection (a) pursuant to a request made 
        under paragraph (1), in accordance with guidelines which shall

        guidelines, the Attorney General shall take into consideration 
        the number of assistant United States attorneys in the office 
        of the United States attorney making the request and the level 
        of violent crime committed in the district for which the United 
        States attorney is appointed.
        (c) Armed Violent Criminal Defined.--As used in this section, 
the term ``armed violent criminal'' means a person who is accused of 
violating section 922(g)(1) of title 18, United States Code, having 
been previously convicted of a violent crime, or who is accused of

of this Act.

Question: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act be cited as the ``Internet Prescription Drug Consumer 
Protection Act of 2000''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Legitimate Internet sellers of prescription drugs can 
        offer substantial benefits to consumers. These potential 
        benefits include convenience, privacy, valuable information, 
        competitive prices, and personalized services.
            (2) Unlawful Internet sellers of prescription drugs may 
        dispense inappropriate, contaminated, counterfeit, or subpotent 
        prescription drugs that could put at risk the health and safety 
        of consumers.
            (3) Unlawful Internet sellers have exposed consumers to 
        significant health risks by knowingly filling invalid 
        prescriptions, such as prescriptions based solely on an online 
        questionnaire, or by dispensing prescription drugs without any 
        prescription.
            (4) The ease with which web sites can be created and 
        removed and the lack of readily available information to 
        identify Internet sellers creates significant barriers to 
        effective law enforcement efforts against unlawful Internet 
        sellers.
            (5) Consumers may have difficulty distinguishing legitimate 
        from unlawful Internet sellers, as well as foreign from 
        domestic Internet sellers, of prescription drugs.
            (6) States need additional enforcement tools to take 
        effective action against unlawful domestic Internet sellers and 
        the Federal agencies need additional enforcement tools to take 
        effective action against unlawful foreign Internet sellers.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to provide Federal and 
State law enforcement with adequate tools to take effective action 
against interstate Internet sellers of prescription drugs who illegally 
sell such drugs to consumers in the United States and to protect such 
consumers against potential harms that may result from purchasing such 
drugs from such sellers.

SEC. 3. AMENDMENT TO THE FEDERAL FOOD, DRUG, AND COSMETIC ACT.

        prescription drugs through the Internet.
            ``(2) Home page.--The term `home page' means the entry 
        point or main web page for an Internet site.

        predecessor or successor protocols to such protocol, to 
        communicate information of all kinds by wire or radio,
