H. RES. 1413

      in Miranda v. Arizona may be interpreted to provide for the 
 admissibility of a terrorist suspect's responses in an interrogation

                       threats to public safety.

                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the holding 
      in Miranda v. Arizona may be interpreted to provide for the 
 admissibility of a terrorist suspect's responses in an interrogation 
without administration of the Miranda warnings, to the extent that the 
 interrogation is carried out to acquire information concerning other 
                       threats to public safety.

    Resolved, That it is sense of the House of Representatives that the 
``public safety'' exception announced in New York v. Quarles (467 U.S. 
649 (1984)) to the holding in Miranda v. Arizona (384 U.S. 436 (1966)) 
may be interpreted such that the responses of a person interrogated in 
connection with an act of terrorism who has not been administered the 
warnings described in Miranda are admissible as evidence against that 
person in a criminal prosecution, to the extent that the interrogation 
is carried out because of a reasonable concern that the person has 
information about other threats to public safety.
                                 <all>
