assist State, Indian tribal government, and local law enforcement agencies in the prevention of crime in the community;
and
(4) encourage the development of new technologies to assist
State, Indian tribal government, and local law enforcement
agencies in reorienting the emphasis of their activities from
reacting to crime to preventing crime,
by establishing a program of grants and assistance in furtherance
of these objectives, including the authorization for a period of 6
years of grants for the hiring and rehiring of additional career
law enforcement officers.

‘‘(ii) the fact that a victim has, or is entitled to, receive
compensation for his or her injuries from the proceeds
of insurance or any other source.
H. R. 3355—110
‘‘(C)(i) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), the court may
take into account the economic circumstances of the defendant
in determining the manner in which and the schedule according
to which the restitution is to be paid.
‘‘(ii) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term ‘economic
circumstances’ includes—
‘‘(I) the financial resources and other assets of the
defendant;
‘‘(II) projected earnings, earning capacity, and other
income of the defendant; and
‘‘(III) any financial obligations of the defendant, including obligations to dependents.
‘‘(D) Subparagraph (A) does not apply if—
‘‘(i) the court finds on the record that the economic
circumstances of the defendant do not allow for the payment of any amount of a restitution order, and do not
allow for the payment of any or some portion of the amount
of a restitution order in the foreseeable future (under any
reasonable schedule of payments); and
‘‘(ii) the court enters in its order the amount of the
victim’s losses, and provides a nominal restitution award.
‘‘(5) MORE THAN 1 OFFENDER.—When the court finds that
more than 1 offender has contributed to the loss of a victim,
the court may make each offender liable for payment of the
full amount of restitution or may apportion liability among
the offenders to reflect the level of contribution and economic
circumstances of each offender.
‘‘(6) MORE THAN 1 VICTIM.—When the court finds that more

an offender, the court shall order full restitution of each victim

as compensatory damages by the victim from the defendant
in—
‘‘(A) any Federal civil proceeding; and

by the law of the State.
‘‘(9) EFFECT ON OTHER SOURCES OF COMPENSATION.—The
issuance of a restitution order shall not affect the entitlement
of a victim to receive compensation with respect to a loss
from insurance or any other source until the payments actually
received by the victim under the restitution order fully compensate the victim for the loss.
‘‘(10) CONDITION OF PROBATION OR SUPERVISED RELEASE.—
Compliance with a restitution order issued under this section
shall be a condition of any probation or supervised release
of a defendant. If an offender fails to comply with a restitution
order, the court may, after a hearing, revoke probation or
a term of supervised release, modify the terms or conditions
of probation or a term of supervised release, or hold the defendant in contempt pursuant to section 3583(e). In determining
whether to revoke probation or a term of supervised release,
H. R. 3355—111
modify the terms or conditions of probation or supervised
release or hold a defendant serving a term of supervised release
in contempt, the court shall consider the defendant’s employment status, earning ability and financial resources, the willfulness of the defendant’s failure to comply, and any other circumstances that may have a bearing on the defendant’s ability
to comply.
‘‘(c) PROOF OF CLAIM.—
‘‘(1) AFFIDAVIT.—Within 60 days after conviction and, in
any event, not later than 10 days prior to sentencing, the
United States Attorney (or the United States Attorney’s
delegee), after consulting with the victim, shall prepare and
file an affidavit with the court listing the amounts subject
to restitution under this section. The affidavit shall be signed
by the United States Attorney (or the United States Attorney’s
delegee) and the victim. Should the victim object to any of
the information included in the affidavit, the United States
Attorney (or the United States Attorney’s delegee) shall advise
the victim that the victim may file a separate affidavit and
shall provide the victim with an affidavit form which may
be used to do so.
‘‘(2) OBJECTION.—If, after the defendant has been notified
of the affidavit, no objection is raised by the defendant, the
amounts attested to in the affidavit filed pursuant to paragraph
(1) shall be entered in the court’s restitution order. If objection
is raised, the court may require the victim or the United States
Attorney (or the United States Attorney’s delegee) to submit
further affidavits or other supporting documents, demonstrating
the victim’s losses.
‘‘(3) ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION AND TESTIMONY.—If the
court concludes, after reviewing the supporting documentation
and considering the defendant’s objections, that there is a
substantial reason for doubting the authenticity or veracity
of the records submitted, the court may require additional
documentation or hear testimony on those questions. The privacy of any records filed, or testimony heard, pursuant to
this section shall be maintained to the greatest extent possible,
and such records may be filed or testimony heard in camera.
‘‘(4) FINAL DETERMINATION OF LOSSES.—If the victim’s
losses are not ascertainable by the date that is 10 days prior
to sentencing as provided in paragraph (1), the United States
Attorney (or the United States Attorney’s delegee) shall so
inform the court, and the court shall set a date for the final
determination of the victim’s losses, not to exceed 90 days
after sentencing. If the victim subsequently discovers further
losses, the victim shall have 60 days after discovery of those
losses in which to petition the court for an amended restitution
order. Such order may be granted only upon a showing of
good cause for the failure to include such losses in the initial
claim for restitutionary relief.
‘‘(d) MODIFICATION OF ORDER.—A victim or the offender may
petition the court at any time to modify a restitution order as
appropriate in view of a change in the economic circumstances
of the offender.

court may refer any issue arising in connection with a proposed
order of restitution to a magistrate or special master for proposed

findings of fact and recommendations as to disposition, subject
to a de novo determination of the issue by the court.

‘‘(f) TERMS.—The Secretary shall make allotments to each State
on the basis of the population of the State, and subject to the
conditions provided in this section and sections 1904 through 1909.’’.

(a) STUDY AND DEVELOPMENT OF MODEL LEGISLATION.—The
Attorney General shall—
(1) study and evaluate the manner in which the States
have taken measures to protect the confidentiality of communications between sexual assault or domestic violence victims
and their therapists or trained counselors;
(2) develop model legislation that will provide the maximum protection possible for the confidentiality of such communications, within any applicable constitutional limits, taking
into account the following factors:
(A) the danger that counseling programs for victims
of sexual assault and domestic violence will be unable
to achieve their goal of helping victims recover from the
trauma associated with these crimes if there is no assurance that the records of the counseling sessions will be
kept confidential;
(B) consideration of the appropriateness of an absolute
privilege for communications between victims of sexual
assault or domestic violence and their therapists or trained
counselors, in light of the likelihood that such an absolute
privilege will provide the maximum guarantee of confidentiality but also in light of the possibility that such an
absolute privilege may be held to violate the rights of
criminal defendants under the Federal or State constitutions by denying them the opportunity to obtain exculpatory
evidence and present it at trial; and
(C) consideration of what limitations on the disclosure
of confidential communications between victims of these
crimes and their counselors, short of an absolute privilege,
are most likely to ensure that the counseling programs
will not be undermined, and specifically whether no such
disclosure should be allowed unless, at a minimum, there
has been a particularized showing by a criminal defendant
of a compelling need for records of such communications,
and adequate procedural safeguards are in place to prevent
unnecessary or damaging disclosures; and
(3) prepare and disseminate to State authorities the findings made and model legislation developed as a result of the
study and evaluation.
(b) REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS.—Not later than the date
that is 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the Attorney
General shall report to the Congress—
(1) the findings of the study and the model legislation
required by this section; and
(2) recommendations based on the findings on the need
for and appropriateness of further action by the Federal
Government.
H. R. 3355—127
(c) REVIEW OF FEDERAL EVIDENTIARY RULES.—The Judicial
Conference of the United States shall evaluate and report to Congress its views on whether the Federal Rules of Evidence should
be amended, and if so, how they should be amended, to guarantee
that the confidentiality of communications between sexual assault
victims and their therapists or trained counselors will be adequately
protected in Federal court proceedings.
SEC. 40154. INFORMATION PROGRAMS.
The Attorney General shall compile information regarding sex
offender treatment programs and ensure that information regarding
community treatment programs in the community into which a
convicted sex offender is released is made available to each person
serving a sentence of imprisonment in a Federal penal or correctional institution for a commission of an offense under chapter
109A of title 18, United States Code, or for the commission of
a similar offense, including halfway houses and psychiatric
institutions.

shall be released pending trial, or for the purpose of determining
conditions of such release, the alleged victim shall be given an
opportunity to be heard regarding the danger posed by the
defendant.
‘‘§ 2264. Restitution
‘‘(a) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding section 3663, and in addition to any other civil or criminal penalty authorized by law, the
court shall order restitution for any offense under this chapter.
‘‘(b) SCOPE AND NATURE OF ORDER.—
‘‘(1) DIRECTIONS.—The order of restitution under this section shall direct that—
‘‘(A) the defendant pay to the victim (through the
appropriate court mechanism) the full amount of the victim’s losses as determined by the court, pursuant to paragraph (3); and
‘‘(B) the United States Attorney enforce the restitution
order by all available and reasonable means.
‘‘(2) ENFORCEMENT BY VICTIM.—An order of restitution also
may be enforced by a victim named in the order to receive
the restitution in the same manner as a judgment in a civil
action.
‘‘(3) DEFINITION.—For purposes of this subsection, the term
‘full amount of the victim’s losses’ includes any costs incurred
by the victim for—
‘‘(A) medical services relating to physical, psychiatric,
or psychological care;
‘‘(B) physical and occupational therapy or rehabilitation;
‘‘(C) necessary transportation, temporary housing, and
child care expenses;
‘‘(D) lost income;
‘‘(E) attorneys’ fees, plus any costs incurred in obtaining a civil protection order; and
‘‘(F) any other losses suffered by the victim as a proximate result of the offense.
‘‘(4) ORDER MANDATORY.—(A) The issuance of a restitution
order under this section is mandatory.
‘‘(B) A court may not decline to issue an order under
this section because of—
‘‘(i) the economic circumstances of the defendant; or
‘‘(ii) the fact that a victim has, or is entitled to, receive
compensation for his or her injuries from the proceeds
of insurance or any other source.
‘‘(C)(i) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), the court may
take into account the economic circumstances of the defendant
in determining the manner in which and the schedule according
to which the restitution is to be paid.
H. R. 3355—134
‘‘(ii) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term ‘economic
circumstances’ includes—
‘‘(I) the financial resources and other assets of the
defendant;
‘‘(II) projected earnings, earning capacity, and other
income of the defendant; and
‘‘(III) any financial obligations of the defendant, including obligations to dependents.
‘‘(D) Subparagraph (A) does not apply if—
‘‘(i) the court finds on the record that the economic
circumstances of the defendant do not allow for the payment of any amount of a restitution order, and do not
allow for the payment of any or some portion of the amount
of a restitution order in the foreseeable future (under any
reasonable schedule of payments); and
‘‘(ii) the court enters in its order the amount of the
victim’s losses, and provides a nominal restitution award.
‘‘(5) MORE THAN 1 OFFENDER.—When the court finds that
more than 1 offender has contributed to the loss of a victim,
the court may make each offender liable for payment of the
full amount of restitution or may apportion liability among
the offenders to reflect the level of contribution and economic
circumstances of each offender.
‘‘(6) MORE THAN 1 VICTIM.—When the court finds that more
than 1 victim has sustained a loss requiring restitution by
an offender, the court shall order full restitution of each victim
but may provide for different payment schedules to reflect
the economic circumstances of each victim.
‘‘(7) PAYMENT SCHEDULE.—An order under this section may
direct the defendant to make a single lump-sum payment or
partial payments at specified intervals.
‘‘(8) SETOFF.—Any amount paid to a victim under this
section shall be set off against any amount later recovered
as compensatory damages by the victim from the defendant
in—
‘‘(A) any Federal civil proceeding; and
‘‘(B) any State civil proceeding, to the extent provided
by the law of the State.
‘‘(9) EFFECT ON OTHER SOURCES OF COMPENSATION.—The
issuance of a restitution order shall not affect the entitlement
of a victim to receive compensation with respect to a loss
from insurance or any other source until the payments actually
received by the victim under the restitution order fully compensate the victim for the loss.
‘‘(10) CONDITION OF PROBATION OR SUPERVISED RELEASE.—
Compliance with a restitution order issued under this section
shall be a condition of any probation or supervised release
of a defendant. If an offender fails to comply with a restitution
order, the court may, after a hearing, revoke probation or
a term of supervised release, modify the terms or conditions
of probation or a term of supervised release, or hold the defendant in contempt pursuant to section 3583(e). In determining
whether to revoke probation or a term of supervised release,
modify the terms or conditions of probation or supervised
release or hold a defendant serving a term of supervised release
in contempt, the court shall consider the defendant’s employment status, earning ability and financial resources, the willful-
H. R. 3355—135
ness of the defendant’s failure to comply, and any other circumstances that may have a bearing on the defendant’s ability
to comply.
‘‘(c) AFFIDAVIT.—Within 60 days after conviction and, in any
event, not later than 10 days before sentencing, the United States
Attorney (or such Attorney’s delegate), after consulting with the
victim, shall prepare and file an affidavit with the court listing
the amounts subject to restitution under this section. The affidavit
shall be signed by the United States Attorney (or the delegate)
and the victim. Should the victim object to any of the information
included in the affidavit, the United States Attorney (or the delegate) shall advise the victim that the victim may file a separate
affidavit and assist the victim in the preparation of the affidavit.
‘‘(d) OBJECTION.—If, after the defendant has been notified of
the affidavit, no objection is raised by the defendant, the amounts
attested to in the affidavit filed pursuant to subsection (a) shall
be entered in the court’s restitution order. If objection is raised,
the court may require the victim or the United States Attorney
(or the United States Attorney’s delegate) to submit further affidavits or other supporting documents, demonstrating the victim’s
losses.
‘‘(e) ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION AND TESTIMONY.—If the court
concludes, after reviewing the supporting documentation and
considering the defendant’s objections, that there is a substantial
reason for doubting the authenticity or veracity of the records
submitted, the court may require additional documentation or hear
testimony on those questions. The privacy of any records filed,
or testimony heard, pursuant to this section, shall be maintained
to the greatest extent possible, and such records may be filed
or testimony heard in camera.
‘‘(f) FINAL DETERMINATION OF LOSSES.—If the victim’s losses
are not ascertainable 10 days before sentencing as provided in
subsection (c), the United States Attorney (or the United States
Attorney’s delegate) shall so inform the court, and the court shall
set a date for the final determination of the victim’s losses, not
to exceed 90 days after sentencing. If the victim subsequently
discovers further losses, the victim shall have 90 days after discovery of those losses in which to petition the court for an amended
restitution order. Such order may be granted only upon a showing
of good cause for the failure to include such losses in the initial
claim for restitutionary relief.
‘‘(g) RESTITUTION IN ADDITION TO PUNISHMENT.—An award of
restitution to the victim of an offense under this chapter is not
a substitute for imposition of punishment under this chapter.
‘‘§ 2265. Full faith and credit given to protection orders
‘‘(a) FULL FAITH AND CREDIT.—Any protection order issued
that is consistent with subsection (b) of this section by the court
of one State or Indian tribe (the issuing State or Indian tribe)
shall be accorded full faith and credit by the court of another
State or Indian tribe (the enforcing State or Indian tribe) and
enforced as if it were the order of the enforcing State or tribe.
‘‘(b) PROTECTION ORDER.—A protection order issued by a State
or tribal court is consistent with this subsection if—
‘‘(1) such court has jurisdiction over the parties and matter
under the law of such State or Indian tribe; and
H. R. 3355—136
‘‘(2) reasonable notice and opportunity to be heard is given
to the person against whom the order is sought sufficient to
protect that person’s right to due process. In the case of ex
parte orders, notice and opportunity to be heard must be provided within the time required by State or tribal law, and
in any event within a reasonable time after the order is issued,
sufficient to protect the respondent’s due process rights.
‘‘(c) CROSS OR COUNTER PETITION.—A protection order issued
by a State or tribal court against one who has petitioned, filed
a complaint, or otherwise filed a written pleading for protection
against abuse by a spouse or intimate partner is not entitled to
full faith and credit if—
‘‘(1) no cross or counter petition, complaint, or other written
pleading was filed seeking such a protection order; or
‘‘(2) a cross or counter petition has been filed and the
court did not make specific findings that each party was entitled
to such an order.

The jury, or if there is no jury, the court, may consider whether
any other aggravating factor for which notice has been given exists.
‘‘§ 3593. Special hearing to determine whether a sentence
of death is justified
‘‘(a) NOTICE BY THE GOVERNMENT.—If, in a case involving an
offense described in section 3591, the attorney for the government
believes that the circumstances of the offense are such that a
sentence of death is justified under this chapter, the attorney shall,
a reasonable time before the trial or before acceptance by the
court of a plea of guilty, sign and file with the court, and serve
on the defendant, a notice—
‘‘(1) stating that the government believes that the circumstances of the offense are such that, if the defendant is
convicted, a sentence of death is justified under this chapter
and that the government will seek the sentence of death; and
‘‘(2) setting forth the aggravating factor or factors that
the government, if the defendant is convicted, proposes to prove
as justifying a sentence of death.
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, and may include oral testimony,
a victim impact statement that identifies the victim of the offense
and the extent and scope of the injury and loss suffered by the
victim and the victim’s family, and any other relevant information.
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.—If the attorney for
the government has filed a notice as required under subsection
(a) and the defendant is found guilty of or pleads guilty to 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. The hearing
shall be conducted—
‘‘(1) before the jury that determined the defendant’s guilt;
H. R. 3355—170
‘‘(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 this section
is necessary; or
‘‘(3) before the court alone, upon the motion of the defendant and with the approval of the attorney for the government.
A jury impaneled pursuant to paragraph (2) shall consist of 12
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.—Notwithstanding rule 32(c) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure,
when a defendant is found guilty or pleads guilty to an offense
under section 3591, no presentence report shall be prepared. At
the sentencing hearing, information may be presented as to any
matter relevant to the sentence, including any mitigating or
aggravating factor permitted or required to be considered under
section 3592. Information presented may include the trial transcript
and exhibits if the hearing is held before a jury or judge not
present during the trial, or at the trial judge’s discretion. The
defendant may present any information relevant to a mitigating
factor. The government may present any information relevant to
an aggravating factor for which notice has been provided under
subsection (a). Information is admissible 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 government and
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 the case of imposing a sentence of death. 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 any
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 information.
‘‘(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 1 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
H. R. 3355—171
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(a)(1), an aggravating factor required to be considered under section 3592(b) is
found to exist;
‘‘(2) an offense described in section 3591(a)(2), an aggravating factor required to be considered under section 3592(c) is
found to exist; or
‘‘(3) an offense described in section 3591(b), 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 consider whether
all the aggravating factor or factors found to exist sufficiently
outweigh all the mitigating factor or factors found to exist to justify
a sentence of death, or, in the absence of a mitigating factor,
whether the aggravating factor or factors alone are sufficient to
justify a sentence of death. Based upon this consideration, the
jury by unanimous vote, or if there is no jury, the court, shall
recommend whether the defendant should be sentenced to death,
to life imprisonment without possibility of release or some other
lesser sentence.
‘‘(f) SPECIAL PRECAUTION TO ENSURE 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 consider the race, color, religious beliefs, 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, religious beliefs, 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 consideration of the race, color, religious beliefs, 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, religious
beliefs, national origin, or sex of the defendant or any victim may
be.
‘‘§ 3594. Imposition of a sentence of death
‘‘Upon a recommendation under section 3593(e) that the defendant should be sentenced to death or life imprisonment without
possibility of release, the court shall sentence the defendant accordingly. Otherwise, the court shall impose any lesser sentence that
is authorized by law. Notwithstanding any other law, if the maximum term of imprisonment for the offense is life imprisonment,
the court may impose a sentence of life imprisonment without
possibility of release.
H. R. 3355—172
‘‘§ 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 must be filed
within the time specified for the filing of a notice of appeal. An
appeal 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) The court of appeals shall address all substantive
and procedural issues raised on the appeal of a sentence of
death, and shall consider whether the sentence of death was
imposed under the influence of passion, prejudice, or any other
arbitrary factor and whether the evidence supports the special
finding of the existence of an aggravating factor required to
be considered under section 3592.
‘‘(2) Whenever the court of appeals finds that—
‘‘(A) the sentence of death was imposed under the
influence of passion, prejudice, or any other arbitrary factor;
‘‘(B) the admissible evidence and information adduced
does not support the special finding of the existence of
the required aggravating factor; or
‘‘(C) the proceedings involved any other legal error
requiring reversal of the sentence that was properly preserved for appeal under the rules of criminal procedure,
the court shall remand the case for reconsideration under section 3593 or imposition of a sentence other than death. The
court of appeals shall not reverse or vacate a sentence of
death on account of any error which can be harmless, including
any erroneous special finding of an aggravating factor, where
the Government establishes beyond a reasonable doubt that
the error was harmless.
‘‘(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.
‘‘§ 3596. Implementation of a sentence of death
‘‘(a) IN GENERAL.—A person who has been sentenced to death
pursuant to 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 the State does not provide
for implementation of a sentence of death, the court shall designate
another State, the law of which does provide for the implementation
H. R. 3355—173
of a sentence of death, and the sentence shall be implemented
in the latter State in the manner prescribed by such law.
‘‘(b) PREGNANT WOMAN.—A sentence of death shall not be carried out upon a woman while she is pregnant.
‘‘(c) MENTAL CAPACITY.—A sentence of death shall not be carried
out upon a person who is mentally retarded. A sentence of death
shall not be carried out upon a person who, as a result of mental
disability, lacks the mental capacity to understand the death penalty and why it was imposed on that person.
‘‘§ 3597. Use of State facilities
‘‘(a) IN GENERAL.—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.
‘‘(b) EXCUSE OF AN EMPLOYEE ON MORAL OR RELIGIOUS
GROUNDS.—No employee of any State department of corrections,
the United States Department of Justice, 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 prosecution or execution under this section if such participation is contrary to the moral or religious convictions of the employee.
In this subsection, ‘participation in executions’ includes personal
preparation of the condemned individual and the apparatus used
for execution and supervision of the activities of other personnel
in carrying out such activities.
‘‘§ 3598. Special provisions for Indian country

to the criminal jurisdiction of an Indian tribal government shall
be subject to a capital sentence under this chapter for any offense
the Federal jurisdiction for which is predicated solely on Indian

‘‘(x)(1) It shall be unlawful for a person to sell, deliver, or
otherwise transfer to a person who the transferor knows or has
reasonable cause to believe is a juvenile—

to a juvenile or to the possession or use of a handgun or
ammunition by a juvenile if the handgun and ammunition
are possessed and used by the juvenile—
‘‘(i) in the course of employment, in the course of ranching or farming related to activities at the residence of
the juvenile (or on property used for ranching or farming
at which the juvenile, with the permission of the property
owner or lessee, is performing activities related to the

or a course of instruction in the safe and lawful use of
a handgun;
‘‘(ii) with the prior written consent of the juvenile’s

residence in which the juvenile is an invited guest.
‘‘(4) A handgun or ammunition, the possession of which is
transferred to a juvenile in circumstances in which the transferor
is not in violation of this subsection shall not be subject to permanent confiscation by the Government if its possession by the juvenile
subsequently becomes unlawful because of the conduct of the juvenile, but shall be returned to the lawful owner when such handgun

purposes of investigation or prosecution.
‘‘(5) For purposes of this subsection, the term ‘juvenile’ means
a person who is less than 18 years of age.

922(x)(2); and
‘‘(II) the juvenile has not been convicted in any court of
an offense (including an offense under section 922(x) or a similar State law, but not including any other offense consisting
of conduct that if engaged in by an adult would not constitute
an offense) or adjudicated as a juvenile delinquent for conduct
that if engaged in by an adult would constitute an offense.
‘‘(B) A person other than a juvenile who knowingly violates
section 922(x)—
‘‘(i) shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more
than 1 year, or both; and
H. R. 3355—217

SEC. 130010. ASYLUM.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Senate finds that—
(1) in the last decade applications for asylum have greatly
exceeded the original 5,000 annual limit provided in the Refugee Act of 1980, with more than 150,000 asylum applications
filed in fiscal year 1993, and the backlog of cases growing
to 340,000;
(2) this flood of asylum claims has swamped the system,
creating delays in the processing of applications of up to several
years;
(3) the delay in processing asylum claims due to the overwhelming numbers has contributed to numerous problems,
including—
(A) an abuse of the asylum laws by fraudulent
applicants whose primary interest is obtaining work
authority in the United States while their claim languishes
in the backlogged asylum processing system;
(B) the growth of alien smuggling operations, often
involving organized crime;
(C) a drain on limited resources resulting from the
high cost of processing frivolous asylum claims through
our multilayered system; and
H. R. 3355—236
(D) an erosion of public support for asylum, which
is a treaty obligation.
(4) asylum, a safe haven protection for aliens abroad who
cannot return home, has been perverted by some aliens who
use asylum claims to circumvent our immigration and refugee
laws and procedures; and
(5) a comprehensive revision of our asylum law and procedures is required to address these problems.
(b) POLICY.—It is the sense of the Senate that—
(1) asylum is a process intended to protect aliens in the
United States who cannot safely return home;
(2) persons outside their country of nationality who have
a well-founded fear of persecution if they return should apply
for refugee status at one of our refugee processing offices
abroad; and
(3) the immigration, refugee and asylum laws of the United
States should be reformed to provide—
(A) a procedure for the expeditious exclusion of any
asylum applicant who arrives at a port-of-entry with
fraudulent documents, or no documents, and makes a
noncredible claim of asylum; and
(B) the immigration, refugee and asylum laws of the
United States should be reformed to provide for a streamlined affirmative asylum processing system for asylum
applicants who make their application after they have
entered the United States.

CODE.

is the intent of Congress that—
(1) the scope of ‘‘exhibition of the genitals or pubic area’’
in section 2256(2)(E), in the definition of ‘‘sexually explicit
conduct’’, is not limited to nude exhibitions or exhibitions in
which the outlines of those areas were discernible through
clothing; and
(2) the requirements in section 2252(a) (1)(A), (2)(A),
(3)(B)(i), and (4)(B)(i) that the production of a visual depiction
involve the use of a minor engaging in ‘‘sexually explicit conduct’’ of the kind described in section 2256(2)(E) are satisfied
if a person photographs a minor in such a way as to exhibit
the child in a lascivious manner.
(b) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the Congress
that in filing its brief in United States v. Knox, No. 92–1183,
and thereby depriving the United States Supreme Court of the
adverseness necessary for full and fair presentation of the issues
arising in the case, the Department of Justice did not accurately
reflect the intent of Congress in arguing that ‘‘the videotapes in
[the Knox case] constitute ‘lascivious exhibition[s] of the genitals
or pubic area’ only if those body parts are visible in the tapes
and the minors posed or acted lasciviously.’’.

(a) IN GENERAL.—Not later than 180 days after the date of
enactment of this section, the Attorney General shall develop, in
cooperation with the States, a national voluntary motor vehicle
theft prevention program (in this section referred to as the ‘‘program’’) under which—
(1) the owner of a motor vehicle may voluntarily sign
a consent form with a participating State or locality in which
the motor vehicle owner—
(A) states that the vehicle is not normally operated
under certain specified conditions; and
(B) agrees to—
(i) display program decals or devices on the owner’s
vehicle; and
(ii) permit law enforcement officials in any State
to stop the motor vehicle and take reasonable steps
to determine whether the vehicle is being operated
by or with the permission of the owner, if the vehicle
is being operated under the specified conditions; and
H. R. 3355—280
(2) participating States and localities authorize law enforcement officials in the State or locality to stop motor vehicles
displaying program decals or devices under specified conditions
and take reasonable steps to determine whether the vehicle
is being operated by or with the permission of the owner.
(b) UNIFORM DECAL OR DEVICE DESIGNS.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—The motor vehicle theft prevention program developed pursuant to this section shall include a uniform
design or designs for decals or other devices to be displayed
by motor vehicles participating in the program.
(2) TYPE OF DESIGN.—The uniform design shall—
(A) be highly visible; and
(B) explicitly state that the motor vehicle to which
it is affixed may be stopped under the specified conditions
without additional grounds for establishing a reasonable
suspicion that the vehicle is being operated unlawfully.
(c) VOLUNTARY CONSENT FORM.—The voluntary consent form
used to enroll in the program shall—
(1) clearly state that participation in the program is voluntary;
(2) clearly explain that participation in the program means
that, if the participating vehicle is being operated under the
specified conditions, law enforcement officials may stop the
vehicle and take reasonable steps to determine whether it
is being operated by or with the consent of the owner, even
if the law enforcement officials have no other basis for believing
that the vehicle is being operated unlawfully;
(3) include an express statement that the vehicle is not
normally operated under the specified conditions and that the
operation of the vehicle under those conditions would provide
sufficient grounds for a prudent law enforcement officer to
reasonably believe that the vehicle was not being operated
by or with the consent of the owner; and
(4) include any additional information that the Attorney
General may reasonably require.
(d) SPECIFIED CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH STOPS MAY BE
AUTHORIZED.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—The Attorney General shall promulgate
rules establishing the conditions under which participating

establishing a reasonable suspicion that the vehicle was
not being operated by the owner, or with the consent of
the owner.
(2) MORE THAN ONE SET OF CONDITIONS.—The Attorney
General may establish more than one set of conditions under
which participating motor vehicles may be stopped. If more
than one set of conditions is established, a separate consent
form and a separate design for program decals or devices shall
be established for each set of conditions. The Attorney General
may choose to satisfy the requirement of a separate design
H. R. 3355—281
for program decals or devices under this paragraph by the
use of a design color that is clearly distinguishable from other
design colors.
(3) NO NEW CONDITIONS WITHOUT CONSENT.—After the program has begun, the conditions under which a vehicle may
be stopped if affixed with a certain decal or device design
may not be expanded without the consent of the owner.

order by all available and reasonable means.
‘‘(2) ENFORCEMENT BY VICTIM.—An order of restitution may
be enforced by a victim named in the order to receive the

same manner as a judgment in a civil action.
‘‘(3) DEFINITION.—For purposes of this subsection, the term
‘full amount of the victim’s losses’ means all losses suffered
by the victim as a proximate result of the offense.
‘‘(4) ORDER MANDATORY.—(A) The issuance of a restitution
order under this section is mandatory.
‘‘(B) A court may not decline to issue an order under
this section because of—
‘‘(i) the economic circumstances of the defendant; or
‘‘(ii) the fact that a victim has, or is entitled to, receive
compensation for his or her injuries from the proceeds
of insurance or any other source.
‘‘(C)(i) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), the court may
take into account the economic circumstances of the defendant
in determining the manner in which and the schedule according
to which the restitution is to be paid.
‘‘(ii) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term ‘economic
circumstances’ includes—

circumstances of the defendant do not allow for the payment of any amount of a restitution order, and do not
allow for the payment of any or some portion of the amount
of a restitution order in the foreseeable future (under any
reasonable schedule of payments); and
‘‘(ii) the court enters in its order the amount of the
victim’s losses, and provides a nominal restitution award.
‘‘(5) MORE THAN 1 OFFENDER.—When the court finds that
more than 1 offender has contributed to the loss of a victim,
the court may make each offender liable for payment of the
full amount of restitution or may apportion liability among
the offenders to reflect the level of contribution and economic
circumstances of each offender.
‘‘(6) MORE THAN 1 VICTIM.—When the court finds that more
than 1 victim has sustained a loss requiring restitution by

in—
‘‘(A) any Federal civil proceeding; and

by the law of the State.
‘‘(9) EFFECT ON OTHER SOURCES OF COMPENSATION.—The
issuance of a restitution order shall not affect the entitlement
of a victim to receive compensation with respect to a loss
from insurance or any other source until the payments actually
received by the victim under the restitution order fully compensate the victim for the loss.
‘‘(10) CONDITION OF PROBATION OR SUPERVISED RELEASE.—
Compliance with a restitution issued under this section shall
be a condition of any probation or supervised release of a
defendant. The court may revoke probation or a term of supervised release, modify the terms or conditions of probation or
a term of supervised release, hold the defendant in contempt
pursuant to section 3583(e), or suspend the offender’s eligibility
for any grant, contract, loan, professional license, or commercial
license provided by an agency of the United States or with
appropriated funds of the United States if the defendant fails
to comply with the order. In determining whether to revoke
probation or a term of supervised release, modify the terms
or conditions of probation or supervised release or hold a
defendant serving a term of supervised release in contempt,
the court shall consider the defendant’s employment status,
earning ability and financial resources, the willfulness of the
defendant’s failure to comply, and any other circumstances
that may have a bearing on the defendant’s ability to comply.
‘‘(c) PROOF OF CLAIM.—
‘‘(1) AFFIDAVIT.—Within 60 days after conviction and, in
any event, not later than 10 days prior to sentencing, the
United States Attorney (or the United States Attorney’s
delegee), after consulting with the victim, shall prepare and

Attorney (or the United States Attorney’s delegee) shall advise
the victim that the victim may file a separate affidavit and
shall provide the victim with an affidavit form which may
be used to do so.
‘‘(2) OBJECTION.—If, after the defendant has been notified
of the affidavit, no objection is raised by the defendant, the
amounts attested to in the affidavit filed pursuant to paragraph
(1) shall be entered in the court’s restitution order. If objection
is raised, the court may require the victim or the United States
Attorney (or the United States Attorney’s delegee) to submit
further affidavits or other supporting documents, demonstrating
the victim’s losses.
H. R. 3355—290
‘‘(3) ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION AND TESTIMONY.—If the
court concludes, after reviewing the supporting documentation
and considering the defendant’s objections, that there is a
substantial reason for doubting the authenticity or veracity
of the records submitted, the court may require additional
documentation or hear testimony on those questions. The privacy of any records filed, or testimony heard, pursuant to
this section shall be maintained to the greatest extent possible,
and such records may be filed or testimony heard in camera.
‘‘(4) FINAL DETERMINATION OF LOSSES.—If the victim’s
losses are not ascertainable by the date that is 10 days prior
to sentencing as provided in paragraph (1), the United States
Attorney (or the United States Attorney’s delegee) shall so
inform the court, and the court shall set a date for the final
determination of the victim’s losses, not to exceed 90 days
after sentencing. If the victim subsequently discovers further
losses, the victim shall have 60 days after discovery of those
losses in which to petition the court for an amended restitution
order. Such order may be granted only upon a showing of
good cause for the failure to include such losses in the initial
claim for restitutionary relief.
‘‘(d) MODIFICATION OF ORDER.—A victim or the offender may
petition the court at any time to modify a restitution order as
appropriate in view of a change in the economic circumstances
of the offender.
‘‘(e) REFERENCE TO MAGISTRATE OR SPECIAL MASTER.—The
court may refer any issue arising in connection with a proposed
order of restitution to a magistrate or special master for proposed
findings of fact and recommendations as to disposition, subject
to a de novo determination of the issue by the court.

includes the individual harmed as a result of a commission of
a crime under this chapter, including, in the case of a victim
who is incompetent, incapacitated, or deceased, the legal guardian

member, or any other person appointed as suitable by the court,
