  SA 25. Mr. COONS submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by 
him to the bill S. 5, to require the Secretary of Homeland Security to 
take into custody aliens who have been charged in the United States 
with theft, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the 
table; as follows:

       At the end of the bill, add the following:

     SEC. 4. EFFECTIVE DATE.

       Section 2, and the amendments made by section 2, shall not 
     take effect until the date that is 60 days after the date on 
     which the Secretary of Homeland Security publishes in the 
     Federal Register a certification to Congress, with the basis 
     of the findings contained therein, that there is available 
     the operational detention capacity, transportation capacity, 
     and personnel to ensure that the amendments made by that 
     section can be implemented without causing the release of, or 
     an inability to detain or remove, aliens who present serious 
     threats to public safety or serious flight risks.
