other aspect of the defendant's background, character or record or any 
other circumstance of the offense that the defendant may proffer as a 
mitigating factor exists.

    ``(d) Aggravating Factors for Drug Offense Death Penalty.--In 
determining whether a sentence of death is justified for an offense 
described in section 3591 (3)-(5), the jury, or if there is no jury, 
the court, shall consider each of the following aggravating factors and 
determine which, if any, exist--
            ``(1) Previous conviction of offense for which a sentence 
        of death or life imprisonment was authorized.--The defendant 
        has previously been convicted of another Federal or State 
        offense resulting in the death of a person, for which a 
        sentence of life imprisonment or death was authorized by 
        statute.
            ``(2) Previous conviction of other serious offenses.--The 
        defendant has previously been convicted of two or more Federal 
        or State offenses, each punishable by a term of imprisonment of 
        more than one year, committed on different occasions, involving 
        the importation, manufacture, or distribution of a controlled 
        substance (as defined in section 102 of the Controlled 
        Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802)) or the infliction of, or 
        attempted infliction of, serious bodily injury or death upon 
        another person.
            ``(3) Previous serious drug felony conviction.--The 
        defendant has previously been convicted of another Federal or 
        State offense involving the manufacture, distribution, 
        importation, or possession of a controlled substance (as 
        defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 
        U.S.C. 802)) for which a sentence of five or more years of 
        imprisonment was authorized by statute.
            ``(4) Use of firearm.--In committing the offense, or in 
        furtherance of a continuing criminal enterprise of which the 
        offense was a part, the defendant used a firearm or knowingly 
        directed, advised, authorized, or assisted another to use a 
        firearm, as defined in section 921 of this title, to threaten, 
        intimidate, assault, or injure a person.
            ``(5) Distribution to persons under twenty-one.--The 
        offense, or a continuing criminal enterprise of which the 
        offense was a part, involved conduct proscribed by section 418 
        of the Controlled Substances Act which was committed directly 
        by the defendant or for which the defendant would be liable 
        under section 2 of this title.
            ``(6) Distribution near schools.--The offense, or a 
        continuing criminal enterprise of which the offense was a part, 
        involved conduct proscribed by section 419 of the Controlled 
        Substances Act which was committed directly by the defendant or 
        for which the defendant would be liable under section 2 of this 
        title.
            ``(7) Using minors in trafficking.--The offense, or a 
        continuing criminal enterprise of which the offense was a part, 
        involved conduct proscribed by section 420 of the Controlled 
        Substances Act which was committed directly by the defendant or

        importation, manufacture, or distribution of a controlled 
        substance (as defined in section 102 of the Controlled 
        Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802)), mixed with a potentially 
        lethal adulterant, and the defendant was aware of the presence 
        of the adulterant. The jury, or if there is no jury, the court, 
        may consider whether any other aggravating factor exists.
``Sec. 3593. Special hearing to determine whether a sentence of death 
              is justified
    ``(a) Notice by the Government.--Whenever the Government intends to 
seek the death penalty for an offense described in section 3591, the 
attorney for the Government, a reasonable time before the trial, or 
before acceptance by the court of a plea of guilty, or at such time 
thereafter as the court may permit upon a showing of good cause, shall 
sign and file with the court, and serve on the defendant, a notice that 
the Government in the event of conviction will seek the sentence of 
death. The notice shall set forth the aggravating factor or factors 
enumerated in section 3592, and any other aggravating factor not 
specifically enumerated in section 3592, that the Government, if the 
defendant is convicted, will seek to prove as the basis for the death 
penalty. 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. 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.--When the attorney for the 
Government has filed a notice as required under subsection (a) and the 
defendant is found guilty of 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. 
Prior to such a hearing, no presentence report shall be prepared by the 
United States Probation Service, notwithstanding the provisions of the 
Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. 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 the 
                section is necessary; or
            ``(3) before the court alone, upon motion of the defendant 
        and with the approval of the attorney for the Government.
A jury impaneled pursuant to paragraph (2) shall consist of twelve 
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.--At the hearing, 
information may be presented as to--
            ``(1) any matter relating to any mitigating factor listed 
        in section 3592 and any other mitigating factor; and
            ``(2) any matter relating to any aggravating factor listed 
        in section 3592 for which notice has been provided under 
        subsection (a) and (if information is presented relating to 
        such a listed factor) any other aggravating factor for which 
        notice has been so provided.
The information presented may include the trial transcript and 
exhibits. Any other information relevant to such mitigating or 
aggravating factors may be presented by either the Government or the 
defendant, 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 attorney for the Government and for 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 that case of imposing a 
sentence of death. The attorney for 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 an 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 evidence.
    ``(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 one 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(1), an 
        aggravating factor required to be considered under section 
        3592(b) is found to exist;
            ``(2) an offense described in section 3591(2) or (6), an 
        aggravating factor required to be considered under section 
        3592(c) is found to exist; or
            ``(3) an offense described in section 3591(3)-(5), 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 then consider 
whether the aggravating factor or factors found to exist under 
subsection (d) outweigh any mitigating factor or factors. The jury, or 
if there is no jury, the court, shall recommend a sentence of death if 
it unanimously finds at least one aggravating factor and no mitigating 
factor or if it finds one or more aggravating factors which outweigh 
any mitigating factors. In any other case, it shall not recommend a 
sentence of death. The jury shall be instructed that it must avoid any 
influence of sympathy, sentiment, passion, prejudice, or other 
arbitrary factors in its decision, and should make such a 
recommendation as the information warrants.
    ``(f) Special Precaution to Assure 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 be influenced by 
prejudice or bias relating to the race, color, religion, 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, religion, 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 prejudice or bias relating to the race, 
color, religion, 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, 
religion, national origin, or sex of the defendant or any victim may 
be.
``Sec. 3594. Imposition of a sentence of death
    ``Upon the recommendation under section 3593(e) that a sentence of 
death be imposed, the court shall sentence the defendant to death. 
Otherwise the court shall impose a sentence, other than death, 
authorized by law. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if the 
maximum term of imprisonment for the offense is life imprisonment, the 
court may impose a sentence of life imprisonment without the 
possibility of release.
``Sec. 3595. Review of a sentence of death
    ``(a) Appeal.--In a case in which a sentence of death is imposed, 
the sentence shall be subject to review by the court of appeals upon 
appeal by the defendant. Notice of appeal of the sentence must be filed 
within the time specified for the filing of a notice of appeal of the 
judgment of conviction. An appeal of the sentence under this section 
may be consolidated with an appeal of the judgment of conviction and 
shall have priority over all other cases.
    ``(b) Review.--The court of appeals shall review the entire record 
in the case, including--
            ``(1) the evidence submitted during the trial;
            ``(2) the information submitted during the sentencing 
        hearing;
            ``(3) the procedures employed in the sentencing hearing; 
        and
            ``(4) the special findings returned under section 3593(d).
    ``(c) Decision and Disposition.--
            ``(1) If the court of appeals determines that--
                    ``(A) the sentence of death was not imposed under 
                the influence of passion, prejudice, or any other 
                arbitrary factor;
                    ``(B) the evidence and information support the 
                special findings of the existence of an aggravating 
                factor or factors; and
                    ``(C) the proceedings did not involve any other 
                prejudicial error requiring reversal of the sentence 
                that was properly preserved for and raised on appeal;
        it shall affirm the sentence.
            ``(2) In any other case, the court of appeals shall remand 
        the case for reconsideration under section 3593 or for 
        imposition of another authorized sentence as appropriate.
            ``(3) The court of appeals shall state in writing the 
        reasons for its disposition of an appeal of a sentence of death 
        under this section.
``Sec. 3596. Implementation of a sentence of death
    ``(a) In General.--A person who has been sentenced to death 
pursuant to the provisions of this chapter shall be committed to the 
custody of the Attorney General until exhaustion of the procedures for 
appeal of the judgment of conviction and for review of the sentence. 
When the sentence is to be implemented, the Attorney General shall 
release the person sentenced to death to the custody of a United States 
Marshal, who shall supervise implementation of the sentence in the 
manner prescribed by the law of the State in which the sentence is 
imposed. If the law of such State does not provide for implementation 
of a sentence of death, the court shall designate another State, the 
law of which does so provide, and the sentence shall be implemented in 
the manner prescribed by such law.
    ``(b) Special Bars to Execution.--A sentence of death shall not be 
carried out upon a person who lacks the mental capacity to understand 
the death penalty and why it was imposed on that person, or upon a 
woman while she is pregnant.
    ``(c) Employees May Decline to Participate.--No employee of any 
State department of corrections, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, or the 
United States Marshals Service, and no employee providing services to 
that department, bureau, or service under contract shall be required, 
as a condition of that employment or contractual obligation, to be in 
attendance at or to participate in any execution carried out under this 
section if such participation is contrary to the moral or religious 
convictions of the employee. For purposes of this subsection, the term 
`participate in any execution' includes personal preparation of the 
condemned individual and the apparatus used for the execution, and 
supervision of the activities of other personnel in carrying out such 
activities.
``Sec. 3597. Use of State facilities
    ``A United States Marshal charged with supervising the 
implementation of a sentence of death may use appropriate State or 
local facilities for the purpose, may use the services of an 
appropriate State or local official or of a person such an official 
employs for the purpose, and shall pay the costs thereof in an amount 
approved by the Attorney General.
``Sec. 3598. Appointment of counsel
    ``(a) Representation of Indigent Defendants.--Notwithstanding any 
other provision of law, this section shall govern the appointment of 
counsel for any defendant against whom a sentence of death is sought, 
or on whom a sentence of death has been imposed, for an offense against 
the United States, where the defendant is or becomes financially unable 
to obtain adequate representation. Such a defendant shall be entitled 
to appointment of counsel from the commencement of trial proceedings 
until one of the conditions specified in section 3599(b) of this title 
has occurred.
    ``(b) Representation Before Finality of Judgment.--A defendant 
within the scope of this section shall have counsel appointed for trial 
representation as provided in section 3005 of this title. At least one 
counsel so appointed shall continue to represent the defendant until 
the conclusion of direct review of the judgment, unless replaced by the 
court with other qualified counsel.
    ``(c) Representation After Finality of Judgment.--When a judgment 
imposing a sentence of death has become final through affirmance by the 
Supreme Court on direct review, denial of certiorari by the Supreme 
Court on direct review, or expiration of the time for seeking direct 
review in the court of appeals or the Supreme Court, the Government 
shall promptly notify the district court that imposed the sentence. 
Within ten days of receipt of such notice, the district court shall 
proceed to make a determination whether the defendant is eligible under 
this section for appointment of counsel for subsequent proceedings. On 
the basis of the determination, the court shall issue an order--
            ``(1) appointing one or more counsel to represent the 
        defendant upon a finding that the defendant is financially 
        unable to obtain adequate representation and wishes to have 
        counsel appointed or is unable competently to decide whether to 
        accept or reject appointment of counsel;
            ``(2) finding, after a hearing if necessary, that the 
        defendant rejected appointment of counsel and made the decision 
        with an understanding of its legal consequences; or
            ``(3) denying the appointment of counsel upon a finding 
        that the defendant is financially able to obtain adequate 
        representation.
Counsel appointed pursuant to this subsection shall be different from 
the counsel who represented the defendant at trial and on direct review 
unless the defendant and counsel request a continuation or renewal of 
the earlier representation.
    ``(d) Standards for Competence of Counsel.--In relation to a 
defendant who is entitled to appointment of counsel under this section, 
at least one counsel appointed for trial representation must have been 
admitted to the bar for at least five years and have at least three 
years of experience in the trial of felony cases in the federal 
district courts. If new counsel is appointed after judgment, at least 
one counsel so appointed must have been admitted to the bar for at 
least five years and have at least three years of experience in the 
litigation of felony cases in the Federal courts of appeals or the 
Supreme Court. The court, for good cause, may appoint counsel who does 
not meet these standards, but whose background, knowledge, or 
experience would otherwise enable him or her to properly represent the 
defendant, with due consideration of the seriousness of the penalty and 
the nature of the litigation.
    ``(e) Applicability of Criminal Justice Act.--Except as otherwise 
provided in this section, the provisions of section 3006A of this title 
shall apply to appointments under this section.
    ``(f) Claims of Ineffectiveness of Counsel.--The ineffectiveness or 
incompetence of counsel during proceedings on a motion under section 
2255 of title 28 in a capital case shall not be a ground for relief 
from the judgment or sentence in any proceeding. This limitation shall 
not preclude the appointment of different counsel at any stage of the 
proceedings.
``Sec. 3599. Collateral Attack on Judgment Imposing Sentence of Death
    ``(a) Time for Making Section 2255 Motion.--In a case in which 
sentence of death has been imposed, and the judgment has become final 
as described in section 3598(c) of this title, a motion in the case 
under section 2255 of title 28, United States Code, must be filed 
within ninety days of the issuance of the order relating to appointment 
of counsel under section 3598(c) of this title. The court in which the 
motion is filed, for good cause shown, may extend the time for filing 
for a period not exceeding sixty days. A motion described in this 
section shall have priority over all noncapital matters in the district 
court, and in the court of appeals on review of the district court's 
decision.
    ``(b) Stay of Execution.--The execution of a sentence of death 
shall be stayed in the course of direct review of the judgment and 
during the litigation of an initial motion in the case under section 
2255 of title 28, United States Code. The stay shall run continuously 
following imposition of the sentence, and shall expire if--
            ``(1) the defendant fails to file a motion under section 
        2255 of title 28, United States Code, within the time specified 
        in subsection (a), or fails to make a timely application for 
        court of appeals review following the denial of such motion by 
        a district court; or
            ``(2) upon completion of district court and court of 
        appeals review under section 2255 of title 28, United States 
        Code, the motion under that section is denied and (A) the time 
        for filing a petition for certiorari has expired and no 
        petition has been filed; (B) a timely petition for certiorari 
        was filed and the Supreme Court denied the petition; or (C) a 
        timely petition for certiorari was filed and upon consideration 
        of the case, the Supreme Court disposed of it in a manner that 
        left the capital sentence undisturbed; or
            ``(3) before a district court, in the presence of counsel 
        and after having been advised of the consequences of his 
        decision, the defendant waives the right to file a motion under 
        section 2255 of title 28, United States Code.
    ``(c) Finality of the Decision on Review.--If one of the conditions 
specified in subsection (b) has occurred, no court thereafter shall 
have the authority to enter a stay of execution or grant relief in the 
case unless--
            ``(1) the basis for the stay and request for relief is a 
        claim not presented in earlier proceedings;
            ``(2) the failure to raise the claim was (A) the result of 
        governmental action in violation of the Constitution or laws of 
        the United States; (B) the result of the Supreme Court 
        recognition of a new Federal right that is retroactively 
        applicable; or (C) based on a factual predicate that could not 
        have been discovered through the exercise of reasonable 
        diligence in time to present the claim in earlier proceedings; 
        and
            ``(3) the facts underlying the claim would be sufficient, 
        if proven, to undermine the court's confidence in the 
        determination of guilt on the offense or offenses for which the 
        death penalty was imposed.''; and
            (2) in the table of chapters at the beginning of part II,

application for a writ of habeas corpus shall be made to the 
appropriate district court. If application is made to a circuit judge, 
the application will ordinarily be transferred to the appropriate 
district court. If an application is made to or transferred to the

out of process issued by a State court, and in a motion proceeding

the applicant or movant may not proceed unless a circuit judge issues a 
certificate of probable cause. If a request for a certificate of 
probable cause is addressed to the court of appeals, it shall be deemed 
addressed to the judges thereof and shall be considered by a circuit 
judge or judges as the court deems appropriate. If no express request

death to raise, in the course of direct review of the judgment, such 
claims as could be raised on collateral attack. The provisions of this 
chapter shall apply, as provided in this section, in relation to a

court of last resort or by statute a mechanism for the appointment, 
compensation and payment of reasonable litigation expenses of competent 
counsel in the unitary review proceedings, including expenses relating 
to the litigation of collateral claims in the proceedings. The rule of 
court or statute must provide standards of competency for the 
appointment of such counsel.

must include an offer of counsel following trial for the purpose of 
representation on unitary review, and the appointment of counsel under

purpose. No counsel appointed to represent the prisoner in the unitary 
review proceedings shall have previously represented the prisoner at 
trial in the case for which the appointment is made unless the prisoner 
and counsel expressly request continued representation.

shall apply in relation to cases involving a sentence of death from any 
State having a unitary review procedure that qualifies under this 
section. References to State `post-conviction review' and `direct 
review' in those sections shall be understood as referring to unitary 
review under the State procedure. The references in sections 2257(a) 
and 2258 to `an order under section 2256(c)' shall be understood as 
referring to the post-trial order under subsection (b) concerning 
representation in the unitary review proceedings, but if a transcript 
of the trial proceedings is unavailable at the time of the filing of 
such an order in the appropriate State court, then the start of the one 
hundred and eighty day limitation period under section 2258 shall be

28, United States Code, that is subject to this chapter, and the 
adjudication of any motion under section 2255 of title 28, United 
States Code, by a person under sentence of death, shall be given 
priority by the district court and by the court of appeals over all 
noncapital matters. The adjudication of such a petition or motion shall 
be subject to the following time limitations:
            ``(1) The district court shall determine such a petition or 
        motion within one hundred and eighty days of the filing of the 
        petition or motion.

        relating to such a petition or motion within one hundred and 
        eighty days of the filing of the record in the court of 
        appeals. If the court of appeals grants en banc consideration, 
        the en banc court shall determine the appeal within one hundred 
        and eighty days of the decision to grant such consideration.
    ``(b) The time limitations under subsection (a) shall apply to an 
initial petition or motion, and to any second or successive petition or 
motion. The same limitations shall also apply to the re-determination 
of a petition or motion or related appeal following a remand by the 
court of appeals or the Supreme Court for further proceedings, and in 
such a case the limitation period shall run from the date of the 
remand.
    ``(c) The time limitations under this secton shall not be construed 
to entitle a petitioner or movant to a stay of execution, to which the 
petitioner or movant would otherwise not be entitled, for the purpose 
of litigating any petition, motion, or appeal.
    ``(d) the failure of a court to meet or comply with the time 
limitations under this section shall not be a ground for granting 
relief from a judgment of conviction or sentence. The State or 
Government may enforce the time limitations under this section by 
applying to the court of appeals or the Supreme Court for a writ of 
mandamus.
``Sec. 2263. Rule of construction
    ``This chapter shall be construed to promote the expeditious 
conduct and conclusion of State and Federal court review in capital

SEC. 712. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts 
        Against the Safety of Maritime Navigation requires each 
        contracting State to establish its jurisdiction over certain 
        offenses affecting the safety of maritime navigation;

        Against the Safety of Fixed Platforms Located on the 
        Continental Shelf, which accompanies the aforementioned 
        Convention, requires that each contracting State to the 
        Protocol establish its jurisdiction over certain offenses 
        affecting the safety of fixed platforms;
            (3) such offenses place innocent lives and property in 
        jeopardy, endanger national security, affect domestic 
        tranquility, gravely affect interstate and foreign commerce, 
        and are offenses against the law of nations;
            (4) on December 27, 1988, the President of the United 
        States issued Proclamation 5928 proclaiming that the 
        territorial sea of the United States henceforth extended to 12 
        nautical miles from the baselines of the United States 
        determined in accordance with international law; and
            (5) on November 5, 1989, the Senate gave its advice and 
        consent to ratification of the Convention and its Protocol.

SEC. 713. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.

        Protocol for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against the 
        Safety of Fixed Platforms Located on the Continental Shelf;
            (2) clarify Federal criminal jurisdiction over the

                  Subtitle C--Terrorist Alien Removal

SEC. 721. SHORT TITLE FOR SUBTITLE C.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Terrorist Alien Removal Act of 
1993''.

SEC. 722. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Terrorist groups have been able to create significant 
        infrastructures and cells in the United States among persons 
        who are in the United States either temporarily, as students or 
        in other capacities, or as permanent resident aliens.
            (2) International terrorist groups that sponsor these 
        infrastructures were responsible for--
                    (A) conspiring to bomb the Turkish Honorary 
                Consulate in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1982;
                    (B) bombing of a Pan Am airline flight enroute to 
                Honolulu in 1982;
                    (C) hijacking of a Royal Jordanian airliner in 
                Beirut, Lebanon with two United States nationals on 
                board in 1985;
                    (D) hijacking TWA Flight 847 during which a United 
                States Navy diver was murdered in 1985;
                    (E) hijacking Egypt Air Flight 648 during which 
                three Americans were killed in 1985;
                    (F) murder of four members of the United States 
                Marine Corps in El Salvador in 1985;
                    (G) murdering an American citizen aboard the 
                Achille Lauro cruise liner in 1985;
                    (H) hijacking Pan Am Flight 73 in Karachi, 
                Pakistan, in which 44 Americans were held hostage and 
                two were killed in 1986;
                    (I) conspiring to bomb an Air India aircraft in New 
                York City in 1986;
                    (J) attempting to bomb the Air Canada cargo 
                facility at the Los Angeles International Airport in 
                1986;
                    (K) murder of the United States Naval attache in 
                Athens, Greece, in 1988;
                    (L) terrorist attack on the Greek cruise ship 
                ``City of Poros'' in 1988;
                    (M) bombing of Pan Am flight 103 resulting in 279 
                deaths in 1988;
                    (N) murder of United States Marine Corps officers 
                assigned to the United Nations Truce Supervisory 
                Organization in Lebanon, in 1989;
                    (O) murder of United States Army officer in Manila 
                in 1984; and
                    (P) numerous bombings and murders in Northern 
                Ireland over the past decade.
            (3) Certain governments and organizations have directed 
        their assets in the United States to take measures in 
        preparation for the commission of terrorist acts in this 
        country.
            (4) Present immigration laws have not been used to any 
        significant degree by law enforcement officials to deport alien 
        terrorists because compliance with these laws with respect to 
        such aliens would compromise classified intelligence sources 
        and information. Moreover, appellate procedures routinely 
        afforded aliens following a deportation hearing frequently 
        extend over several years resulting in an inability to effect 
        the expeditious removal of aliens engaging in terrorist 
        activity.
            (5) Present immigration laws are inadequate to protect the 
        national security of the United States from terrorist attacks 
        by certain aliens. Therefore, new procedures are needed to 
        remove alien terrorists from the United States and thus reduce 
        the threat that such aliens pose to the national security and 
        other vital interests of the United States.

SEC. 723. TERRORIST ACTIVITIES DEFINED.

    For purposes of this Act, the terms, ``terrorist activity'' and 
``engage in terrorist activity shall be defined as provided in section 
601(a) of Public Law 101-649.

SEC. 724. PROCEDURES FOR REMOVAL OF ALIEN TERRORISTS.

    The Immigration and Nationality Act is amended--
            (1) by adding at the end of the table of contents the 
        following:

                 ``TITLE V--REMOVAL OF ALIEN TERRORISTS

``Sec. 501. Applicability
``Sec. 502. Special removal hearing
``Sec. 503. Designation of judges
``Sec. 504. Miscellaneous provisions''; and
            (2) by adding at the end the following new title:

section.
    ``(b) Whenever an official of the Department of Justice files, 
under section 502, an application with the court established under 
section 503 for authorization to seek removal pursuant to the provision 
of this title, the alien's rights regarding removal and expulsion shall 
be governed solely by the provisions of this title. Except as they are 
specifically referenced, no other provisions of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act shall be applicable. An alien subject to removal under 
these provisions shall have no right of discovery of information 
derived from electronic surveillance authorized under the Foreign 
Intelligence Surveillance Act or otherwise for national security 
purposes, nor shall such alien have the right to seek suppression of 
evidence derived in this manner. Further, the government is authorized

that aliens described in paragraph 4(b) of section 241(a), as amended, 
represent a unique threat to the security of the United States. It is 
the intention of Congress that such aliens be promptly removed from the 
United States following--
            ``(1) a judicial determination of probable cause to believe 
        that such person is such an alien; and
            ``(2) a judicial determination pursuant to the provisions

        is an alien described in paragraph 4(B) of section 241(a), as 
        amended;
and that such aliens not be given a deportation hearing and are 
ineligible for any discretionary relief from deportation and for relief 
under section 243(h).

    ``Sec. 502. (a) Whenever removal of an alien is sought pursuant to 
the provisions of this title, a written application upon oath or

        paragraph 4(B) of section 241(a), as amended; and
            ``(2) adherence to the provisions of title II regarding the 
        deportation of the identified alien would pose a risk to the

        foreign relations, reveal an investigative technique important 
        to efficient law enforcement, or disclose a confidential source 
        of information.
    ``(d)(1) In any case in which the application for the order is 
denied, the judge shall prepare a written statement of his reasons for 
the denial and the Department of Justice may seek a review of the 
denial by the court of appeals for the Federal Circuit by notice of 
appeal which must be filed within 20 days. In such a case the entire 
record of the proceeding shall be transmitted to the court of appeals 
under seal and the Court of Appeals shall hear the matter ex parte.
    ``(2) If the Department of Justice does not seek review, the alien 
shall be released from custody, unless such alien may be arrested and 
taken into custody pursuant to title II as an alien subject to 
deportation, in which case such alien shall be treated in accordance 
with the provisions of this Act concerning the deportation of aliens.
    ``(3) If the application for the order is denied because the judge 
has not found probable cause to believe that the alien who is the 
subject of the application has been correctly identified or is an alien

Department of Justice seeks review, the alien shall be released from 
custody unless such alien may be arrested and taken into custody 
pursuant to title II as an alien subject to deportation, in which case 
such alien shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of this 
Act concerning the deportation of aliens simultaneously with the 
application of this title.

the judge found probable cause to believe that the alien who is the 
subject of the application has been correctly identified and is an 
alien as described in paragraph 4(B) of section 241(a), as amended, the 
judge has found that there is not probable cause to believe that 
adherence to the provisions of title II regarding the deportation of 
the identified alien would pose a risk to the national security of the 
United States, adversely affect foreign relations, reveal an 
investigative technique important to efficient law enforcement, or 
disclose a confidential source of information, the judge shall release 
the alien from custody subject to the least restrictive condition or 
combination of conditions of release described in section 3142(b) and 
(c)(1)(B)(i) through (xiv) of title 18, United States Code, that will 
reasonably assure the appearance of the alien at any future proceeding 
pursuant to this title and will not endanger the safety of any other 
person or the community; but if the judge finds no such condition or 
combination of conditions the alien shall remain in custody until the 
completion of any appeal authorized by this title. The provisions of 
sections 3145 through 3148 of title 18, United States Code, pertaining 
to review and appeal of a release or detention order, penalties for 
failure to appear, penalties for an offense committed while on release, 
and sanctions for violation of a release condition shall apply to an 
alien to whom the previous sentence applies and--

authorizing the special procedures of this title is approved, the judge 
who granted the order shall consider separately each item of evidence 
the Department of Justice proposes to introduce in camera and ex parte 
at the special removal hearing. The judge shall authorize the 
introduction in camera and ex parte of any item of evidence for which 
the judge determines that the introduction other than in camera and ex 
parte would pose a risk to the national security of the United States, 
adversely affect foreign relations, reveal an investigative technique 
important to efficient law enforcement, or disclose a confidential 
source of information. With respect to any evidence which the judge 
authorizes to be introduced in camera and ex parte, the judge shall 
cause to be prepared and shall sign, and the Department of Justice 
shall cause to be delivered to the alien, either--
            ``(A) a written summary which shall be sufficient to inform 
        the alien of the general nature of the evidence that he is an 
        alien as described in paragraph 4(b) of section 241(a), as 
        amended, and to permit the alien to marshal the facts and 
        prepare a defense, but which shall not pose a risk to national 
        security, adversely affect foreign relations, reveal an 
        investigative technique important to efficient law enforcement,

        security or death or serious bodily injury to any person, a 
        statement informing the alien that no such summary is possible.

the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit of any 
determination by the judge pursuant to paragraph (1)--

        introduced in camera and ex parte;
            ``(B) concerning the contents of any summary of evidence to 
        be introduced in camera and ex parte prepared pursuant to 
        paragraph (1)(A); or
            ``(C) concerning whether a summary of evidence to be 
        introduced in camera and ex parte is possible pursuant to 
        paragraph (1)(B).
In any interlocutory appeal taken pursuant to this paragraph, the 
entire record, including any proposed order of the judge or summary of 
evidence, shall be transmitted to the court of appeals under seal and 
the matter shall be heard ex parte. The court of appeals shall consider 
the appeal as expeditiously as possible.
    ``(f) In any case in which the application for the order is 
approved, the special removal hearing authorized by this section shall 
be conducted for the purpose of determining if the alien to whom the 
order pertains should be removed from the United States on the grounds 
that he is an alien as described in paragraph 4(B) of section 241(a), 
as amended. In accordance with subsection (e), the alien shall be given 
reasonable notice of the nature of the charges against him. The alien 
shall be given notice, reasonable under all the circumstances, of the 
time and place at which the hearing will be held. The hearing shall be 
held as expeditiously as possible.
    ``(g) The special removal hearing shall be held before the same 
judge who granted the order pursuant to subsection (e) unless that 
judge is deemed unavailable due to illness or disability by the chief 
judge of the court established pursuant to section 503, or has died, in 
which case the chief judge shall assign another judge to conduct the 
special removal hearing. A decision by the chief judge pursuant to the 
preceding sentence shall not be subject to review by either the alien 
or the Department of Justice.
    ``(h) The special removal hearing shall be open to the public. The 
alien shall have a right to be present at such hearing and to be 
represented by counsel. Any alien financially unable to obtain counsel 
shall be entitled to have counsel assigned to represent him. Such 
counsel shall be appointed by the judge pursuant to the plan for 
furnishing representation for any person financially unable to obtain 
adequate representation for the district in which the hearing is 
conducted, as provided for in section 3006A of title 18, United States 
Code. All provisions of that section shall apply and, for purposes of 
determining the maximum amount of compensation, the matter shall be 
treated as if a felony was charged. The alien may be called as a 
witness by the Department of Justice. The alien shall have a right to 
introduce evidence on his own behalf. Except as provided in subsection 
(j), the alien shall have a reasonable opportunity to examine the 
evidence against him and to cross-examine any witness. A verbatim 
record of the proceedings and of all testimony and evidence offered or 
produced at such a hearing shall be kept. The decision of the judge 
shall be based only on the evidence introduced at the hearing, 
including evidence introduced under subsection (j).
    ``(i) At any time prior to the conclusion of the special removal 
hearing, either the alien or the Department of Justice may request the 
judge to issue a subpoena for the presence of a named witness (which 
subpoena may also command the person to whom it is directed to produce 
books, papers, documents, or other objects designated therein) upon a 
satisfactory showing that the presence of the witness is necessary for 
the determination of any material matter. Such a request may be made ex 
parte except that the judge shall inform the Department of Justice of 
any request for a subpoena by the alien for a witness or material if 
compliance with such a subpoena would reveal evidence or the source of 
evidence which has been introduced, or which the Department of Justice 
has received permission to introduce, in camera and ex parte pursuant 
to subsection (j), and the Department of Justice shall be given a 
reasonable opportunity to oppose the issuance of such a subpoena. If an 
application for a subpoena by the alien also makes a showing that the 
alien is financially unable to pay for the attendance of a witness so 
requested, the court may order the costs incurred by the process and 
the fees of the witness so subpoenaed to be paid for from funds 
appropriated for the enforcement of title II. A subpoena under this 
subsection may be served anywhere in the United States. A witness 
subpoenaed under this subsection shall receive the same fees and 
expenses as a witness subpoenaed in connection with a civil proceeding 
in a court of the United States. Nothing in this subsection is intended 
to allow an alien to have access to classified information.
    ``(j) Evidence which has either been summarized pursuant to 
subsection (e)(1)(A) or for which no summary has been deemed possible 
pursuant to subsection (e)(1)(B) shall be introduced (either in writing 
or through testimony) in camera and ex parte and neither the alien nor 
the public shall be informed of such evidence or its sources other than 
through reference to the summary provided pursuant to subsection 
(e)(1)(A) or to the explanation that no summary could be provided 
pursuant to subsection (e)(1)(B). Notwithstanding the previous 
sentence, the Department of Justice may, in its discretion, elect to 
introduce such evidence in open session.
    ``(k) Evidence introduced at the special removal hearing, either in 
open session or in camera and ex parte, may, in the discretion of the 
Department of Justice, include all or part of the information presented 
under subsections (a) through (c) used to obtain the order for the 
hearing under this section.
    ``(l) Following the receipt of evidence, the attorneys for the 
Department of Justice and for the alien shall be given fair opportunity 
to present argument as to whether the evidence is sufficient to justify 
the removal of the alien. The attorney for the Department of Justice 
shall open the argument. The attorney for the alien shall be permitted 
to reply. The attorney for the Department of Justice shall then be 
permitted to reply in rebuttal. The judge may allow any part of the 
argument that refers to evidence received in camera and ex parte to be 
heard in camera and ex parte.
    ``(m) The Department of Justice has the burden of showing by clear 
and convincing evidence that the alien is subject to removal because he 
is an alien as described in paragraph 4(B) of subsection 241(a) of this 
Act (8 U.S.C. 1251(a)(4)(B)), as amended. If the judge finds that the 
Department of Justice has met this burden, the judge shall order the 
alien removed.
    ``(n)(1) At the time of rendering a decision as to whether the 
alien shall be removed, the judge shall prepare a written order 
containing a statement of facts found and conclusions of law. Any 
portion of the order that would reveal the substance or source of 
information received in camera and ex parte pursuant to subsection (j) 
shall not be made available to the alien or the public.
    ``(2) The decision of the judge may be appealed by either the alien 
or the Department of Justice to the Court of Appeals for the Federal 
Circuit by notice of appeal which must be filed within twenty days, 
during which time such order shall not be executed. In any case 
appealed pursuant to this subsection, the entire record shall be 
transmitted to the Court of Appeals and information received pursuant 
to subsection (j), any portion of the judge's order that would reveal 
the substance or source of such information shall be transmitted under 
seal. The Court of Appeals shall consider the case as expeditiously as 
possible.
    ``(3) In an appeal to the Court of Appeals pursuant to either 
subsections (d) or (e) of this section, the Court of Appeals shall 
review questions of law de novo, but a prior finding on any question of 
fact shall not be set aside unless such finding was clearly erroneous.
    ``(o) If the judge decides pursuant to subsection (n) that the 
alien should not be removed, the alien shall be released from custody 
unless such alien may be arrested and taken into custody pursuant to 
title II of this Act as an alien subject to deportation, in which case, 
for purposes of detention, such alien may be treated in accordance with 
the provisions of this Act concerning the deportation of aliens.
    ``(p) Following a decision by the Court of Appeals pursuant to 
either subsection (d) or (n), either the alien or the Department of 
Justice may petition the Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari. In any 
such case, any information transmitted to the Court of Appeals under 
seal shall, if such information is also submitted to the Supreme Court, 
be transmitted under seal. Any order of removal shall not be stayed 
pending disposition of a writ of certiorari except as provided by the 
Court of Appeals or a Justice of the Supreme Court.

                        ``designation of justice

    ``Sec. 503. (a) The Chief Justice of the United States shall 
publicly designate five district court judges from five of the United 
States judicial circuits who shall constitute a court which shall have 
jurisdiction to conduct all matters and proceedings authorized by 
section 502. The Chief Justice shall publicly designate one of the 
judges so appointed as the chief judge. The chief judge shall 
promulgate rules to facilitate the functioning of the court and shall 
be responsible for assigning the consideration of cases to the various 
judges.
    ``(b) Proceedings under section 502 shall be conducted as 
expeditiously as possible. The Chief Justice, in consultation with the 
Attorney General and other appropriate federal officials, shall, 
consistent with the objectives of this title, provide for the 
maintenance of appropriate security measures for applications for ex 
parte orders to conduct the special removal hearings authorized by 
section 502, the orders themselves, and evidence received in camera and 
ex parte, and for such other actions as are necessary to protect 
information concerning matters before the court from harming the 
national security of the United States, adversely affecting foreign 
relations, revealing investigative techniques, or disclosing 
confidential sources of information.
    ``(c) Each judge designated under this section shall serve for a 
term of five years and shall be eligible for redesignation, except that 
the four associate judges first designated under subsection (a) shall 
be designated for terms of from one to four years so that the term of 
one judge shall expire each year.

    ``Sec. 504. (a)(1) Following a determination pursuant to this title 
that an alien shall be removed, and after the conclusion of any 
judicial review thereof, the Attorney General may retain the alien in 
custody or, if the alien was released pursuant to subsection 502(o), 
may return the alien to custody, and shall cause the alien to be 
transported to any country which the alien shall designate provided the 
Attorney General determines based on consultation with the Secretary of 
State that transportation to such country would not impair the 
obligation of the United States under any treaty (including a treaty 
pertaining to extradition) or otherwise adversely affect the foreign 
policy of the United States.
    ``(2) If the alien refuses to choose a country to which he wishes 
to be transported, or if the Attorney General determines pursuant to 
paragraph (1) that removal of the alien to the country so selected 
would impair a treaty obligation or adversely affect United States 
foreign policy, the Attorney General shall cause the alien to be 
transported to any country willing to receive such alien.
    ``(3) Before an alien is transported out of the United States 
pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2) or pursuant to an order of exclusion 
because such alien is excludable under paragraph 212(a)((3)(B) of this 
Act (8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(3)(B)), as amended, he shall be photographed and 
fingerprinted, and shall be advised of the provisions of subsection 
276(b) of this Act (8 U.S.C. 1326(b)).
    ``(4) If no country is willing to receive such an alien, the 
Attorney General may, notwithstanding any other provision of law, 
retain the alien in custody. The Attorney General shall make periodic 
efforts to reach agreement with other countries to accept such as alien 
and at least every six months shall provide to the alien a written 
report on his efforts. Any alien in custody pursuant to this subsection 
shall be released from custody solely at the discretion of the Attorney 
General and subject to such conditions as the Attorney General shall 
deem appropriate. The determinations and actions of the Attorney 
General pursuant to this subsection shall not be subject to judicial 
review, including applications for writ of habeas corpus, except for a 
claim by the alien that continued detention violates his rights under 
the Constitution. Jurisdiction over any such challenge shall lie 
exclusively in the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
    ``(b)(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), the 
Attorney General may hold in abeyance the removal of an alien who has 
been ordered removed pursuant to this title to allow the trial of such 
alien on any Federal or State criminal charge and the service of any 
sentence of confinement resulting from such a trial.
    ``(2) Pending the commencement of any service of a sentence of 
confinement by an alien described in paragraph (1), such an alien shall 
remain in the custody of the Attorney General, unless the Attorney 
General determines that temporary release of the alien to the custody 
of State authorities for confinement in a State facility is appropriate 
and would not endanger national security or public safety.
    ``(3) Following the completion of a sentence of confinement by an 
alien described in paragraph (1) or following the completion of State 
criminal proceedings which do not result in a sentence of confinement 
of an alien released to the custody of State authorities pursuant to 
paragraph (2), such an alien shall be returned to the custody of the 
Attorney General who shall proceed to carry out the provisions of 
subsection (a) concerning removal of the alien.
    ``(c) For purposes of sections 751 and 752 of title 18, United 
States Code, an alien in the custody of the Attorney General pursuant 
to this title shall be subject to the penalties provided by those 
sections in relation to a person committed to the custody of the 
Attorney General by virtue of an arrest on a charge of felony.
    ``(d)(1) An alien in the custody of the Attorney General pursuant 
to this title shall be given reasonable opportunity to communicate with 
and receive visits from members of his family, and to contact, retain, 
and communicate with an attorney.

this title shall have the right to contact an appropriate diplomatic or 
consular official of the alien's country of citizenship or nationality 
or of any country providing representation services therefor. The 
Attorney General shall notify the appropriate embassy, mission, or 
consular office of the alien's detention.

        States or attempts to do so shall be fined under title 18, 
        United States Code, and imprisoned for a period of ten years

    In a criminal trial in a court of the United States, or of any 
State--
            (1) on motion of the defense attorney or prosecutor, the 
        risk of racial prejudice or bias shall be examined on voir dire 
        if there is a substantial likelihood in the circumstances of 
        the case that such prejudice or bias will affect the jury 
        either against or in favor of the defendant;
            (2) on motion of the defense attorney or prosecutor, a 
        change of venue shall be granted if an impartial jury cannot be

        bias; and

offense against the United States in which a sentence of death is 
sought, and in which the capital sentencing determination is to be made 
by a jury, the judge shall instruct the jury that it is not to be 
influenced by prejudice or bias relating to the race or color of the 
defendant or victim in considering whether a sentence of death is 
justified, and that the jury is not to recommend the imposition of a 
sentence of death unless it has concluded that it would recommend the 
same sentence for such a crime regardless of the race or color of the 
defendant or victim. Upon the return of a recommendation of a sentence 
of death, the jury shall also return a certificate, signed by each 
juror, that the juror's individual decision was not affected by 
prejudice or bias relating to the race or color of the defendant or 
victim, and that the individual juror would have made the same 
recommendation regardless of the race or color of the defendant or 
victim.

against the United States for which a sentence of death is authorized, 
the fact that the killing of the victim was motivated by racial 
prejudice or bias shall be deemed an aggravating factor whose existence 
permits consideration of the death penalty, in addition to any other 
aggravating factors that may be specified by law as permitting 
consideration of the death penalty.
    (c) Killings in Violation of Civil Rights Statutes.--Sections 241, 
242, and 245(b) of title 18, United States Code, are each amended by

for life'' and inserting in lieu thereof ``shall be punished by death 
or imprisonment for any term of years or for life''.
