VI. MEASURES NOT REFERRED TO SUBCOMMITTEES THAT WERE ACTIVELY
CONSIDERED
The Violent Crime and Law Enforcement Act of 1993
On September 23, 1993, Senator Biden, chairman of the
Senate Judiciary Committee, introduced S. 1488, the Violent
Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1993. The major crime
initiative included: constitutional procedures for the
imposition of the death penalty, habeas corpus reform, $7
billion for 50,000 cops for community policing, $1.2 billion
for drug courts, boot camps and regional prisons. On November
1, 1993, Chairman Biden introduced a revised version of this
bill, S. 1607, that included an additional $2 million to
community policing.
The Senate debated S. 1607 from November 3, 1993, to
November 18, 1993. One of the most important amendments adopted
was the Byrd amendment, which added a $22.3 billion Violent
Crime Reduction Trust Fund, providing 100,000 cops for
community policing initiatives, $9.7 billion for prisons and
boot camps, and $1.6 billion for the Violence Against Women
Act. The Trust Fund was paid for by the savings realized from
implementing reductions in Federal employees, so that the crime
bill could be funded without adding to the budget deficit.
On November 19, 1993, the Senate passed the Violent Crime
Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1993. It included: a $8.9
billion for 100,000 cops performing community policy, a ban on
military-style assault weapons; 50 death penalties; $1.6
billion for the Violence Against Women Act, increased penalties
for several crimes, including a ``three strikes'' provision;
$6.5 billion in prisons; $1.2 billion for Drug Courts, and $3.7
billion in crime prevention programs targeting children and
drug treatment.
From November to December 1993, the House of
Representatives passed several bills including the Violence
Against Women Act, the Youth Handgun Safety Act, Community
Policing, the National Child Protection Act, Juvenile Gang
Participation and Juvenile Drug Trafficking Grants, Residential
Substance Abuse Treatment Programs and the Jacob Wetterling
Crimes Against Children Registration Act.
On March 18, 1994, the House of Representatives introduced
H.R. 4092, a $28 billion bill which included $3.4 billion for
50,000 cops, $6.8 billion for prevention, $14 billion in
prisons, expanded Federal death penalties, and the Racial
Justice Act. The omnibus crime bill was passed on April 21,
1994. On May 5, 1994, the House passed the assault weapons ban.
From July 26 to 28, 1994, the House and Senate conferees
met to resolve differences between crime legislation. The
conference report (103-389) failed in the House on August 11,
1994. The conferees met again on August 21, 1994, and reported
a second conference report (103-711). The second conference
report passed the House on August 21, 1994 (235-195). The
Senate debated the report from the 22d to the 25th of August.
On August 25, 1994, H.R. 3355 passed the Senate (61-38). On
September 13, 1994, President Clinton signed the act into law
(Public Law 103-322).
The Violence Against Women Act of 1993
On January 21, 1993, Senator Biden, chairman of the Senate
Judiciary Committee, introduced S. 11, the Violence Against
Women Act of 1993--a bill to combat crimes against women on the
streets and in homes. Senate bill 11 included new criminal
offenses for interstate spouse abuse, funding for education,
prevention and more effective law enforcement included
increased penalties for sex crimes, and mandatory restitution
and a new civil rights remedy for crimes motivated by the
victim's gender.
The full committee held six hearings on the Violence
Against Women Act in the 103d Congress. Three were held in
Washington: ``Anti-Stalking Proposals: Combating Stalking and
Family Violence'' (March 17, 1993), ``The Response to Rap:
Detours on the Road to Equal Justice'' (May 27, 1993), and
``Turning the Act into Action: the Violence Against Women Act''
(September 29, 1994). Three field hearings were held on
domestic violence, one in South Portland, Maine (November 12,
1993), one in Salt Lake City, Utah (April 13, 1993) and one in
Boston, Massachusettes (February 1, 1993).
The full committee markup occurred on May 27, 1993, and the
committee filed a report on September 10, 1993 (S. Report. 103-
138). The bill was approved by the committee and ordered
favorably reported on May 27, 1993, with an amendment in the
nature of substitute (S. Report. No. 103-138). The Violence
Against Women Act passed the full Senate as part of the Violent
Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1993, S. 1607; which
was signed into law by President Clinton on September 14, 1994.
Oversight of National Drug Control Strategy
On May 25, 1993, the Judiciary Committee conducted a
confirmation hearing on the nomination of Dr. Lee Patrick Brown
to be the Director of the Office of National Drug Control
Policy. The committee held five oversight hearings, addressing
all aspects of the national drug strategy including ``Breaking
the Cycle of Drug Abuse'' (October 20, 1993), the nomination of
Thomas A. Constantine to be Director of the Drug Enforcement
Administration (March 2, 1994), ``Medicines for Drug Abuse''
(April 19, 1994), and ``Combating Drugs in America: Putting the
Drug Strategy into Action'' (October 5, 1994).
Chairman Biden released several national drug strategies:
On April 1993, the chairman released ``America's Drug Strategy:
Lessons of the Past * * * Steps Toward the Future.'' In
February 1994, the chairman released ``America's Drug Strategy:
Prescription for Action'' and ``U.S. International Drug Policy:
Recent Experience, Future Options.'' On October 5, 1994,
Senator Biden released ``Combating Drugs in America: Putting
the Drug Strategy into Action.''
National Child Protection Act
On November 20, 1993, Senator Biden, chairman of the
Judiciary Committee, introduced S. 1759, the National Child
Protection Act of 1993, to establish a national background
check procedure to ensure that persons working as child care
providers do not have a criminal history of child abuse. The
act initiated the reporting of all State and Federal child
abuse crimes, imposed minimum guidelines for States to follow
in conducting background checks, and provided protection from
inaccurate information. The House passed the act as a separate
bill, H.R. 1237. It was received and debated in the Senate on
November 20, 1993. The Senate passed H.R. 1237 by unaminous
consent in lieu of S. 1759 on November 20, 1993. The act was
signed into law (Public Law 103-209) by President Clinton on
December 20, 1993.
Rural Crime and Drug Control Act
Senator Biden, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee,
included in the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act
of 1993 a rural crime provision, S. 1607. It authorized $240
million dollars in aid to rural law enforcement agencies
including rural crime and drug enforcement task forces, rural
drug enforcement training and more agents of the Drug
Enforcement Administration. It was signed into law on September
13, 1994, as part of the violent Crime Control and Law
Enforcement Act of 1994.
Joint Production, S. 574 (H.R. 1313)
Senator Biden joined Senators Thurmond and Leahy as an
original cosponsor of S. 574, the National Cooperative
Production Amendments Act of 1993 (the Joint Production Bill),
introduced on March 11, 1993. Senate bill 574 passed the
Committee on March 25, 1993 (S. Rept. 103-51). The House
version of the Joint Production Bill, H.R. 1313, passed the
Senate on May 28, 1993, and was enacted into law on June 10,
1993 (Public Law 103-42). Passage of the Joint Production Bill
ended more than 4 years of effort on the part of Senators
Leahy, Biden, and Thurmond. The House and Senate bills were
substantively the same.
The Judicial Amendments Act of 1994, S. 2407
Senator Biden cosponsored S. 2407 along with Senators
Heflin, Hatch, and Grassley. The bill was introduced, held at
the desk and passed by unanimous consent on August 18, 1994.
Senate bill 2407 passed the House by unanimous consent on
October 7, 1994, and was signed into law on October 25, 1994
(Public Law 103-420).
Senator Biden's primary interest related to section 4 of S.
2407 which extended for 1 year the RAND study of the pilot
courts set up under the CJRA. Senator Biden also supported the
bill's provisions to reauthorize both the judiciary automation
fund and the court-annexed arbitration program for an

IV. Measures Enact Into Law
the youth handgun safety act of 1994
Senate bill 1087 was introduced by Senator Kohl on June 9,
1993. The bill makes it a Federal crime for a minor to own or
possess a handgun or for an adult to sell or give a handgun to
a minor, with certain specified exceptions.
The subcommittee held 2 days of legislative hearings on the
bill: June 9, 1993, in Washington, DC; and September 13, 1993,
in Milwaukee, WI. On October 21, 1993, S. 1087, in the nature
of a substitute, was marked up by the subcommittee. The
substitute requires the National Institute of Justice to
develop a code relating to children and handguns. S. 1087 was
then incorporated into an amendment by Senator Kohl to the
Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act (S. 1607). The
Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act was signed into
law as H.R. 3355 on September 13, 1994, and became Public Law
103-322.
full faith and credit for child support orders act
Senator Moseley-Braun introduced Senate bill 922 on May 6,
1993. The legislation addresses the issue of interstate
enforcement of child support orders by closing a loophole in
child support enforcement. It requires every State to enforce,
without modification, the valid child support orders of every
other state.
On June 15, 1994, the subcommittee unanimously polled out
S. 922. The Judiciary Committee favorably reported the order
with an amendment in the nature of a substitute on August 11,
1994. The committee filed its report on August 25, 1994 (S.
Rept. 103-361). The Senate considered S. 922 as amended and
passed the bill by unanimous consent on September 27, 1994. The
House of Representatives took up the bill on October 4, 1994,
and passed it on October 5, 1994, by voice vote. It was then
signed by the President on October 20, 1994, and became Public
Law No. 103-383.

G. Martinez on September 28, 1993. The bill amends the Juvenile

technical corrections necessitated by the enactment of Public
Law 102-586. After passage in the House, H.R. 3160 was received
in the Senate and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary on
November 3, 1993. On October 7, 1994, the measure was
discharged from the Judiciary Committee. Senator Simon offered
an amendment which amends the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 to
authorize appropriations for fiscal years 1995 and 1996 for
drug abuse education and prevention. Senator Danforth also
offered a private relief bill (S. 2457) as an amendment, which
provides for the relief of Benchmark Rail Group, Inc. H.R. 3160
