appropriated for the period under the authority of section 6702(b)
(minus the amounts allocated to territorial governments under
subsection (e) for the payment period) an amount bearing the same
ratio to the amount appropriated (minus such amounts allocated
under subsection (e)) as the amount allocated to the State under
this section bears to the total amount allocated to all States
under this section. The Secretary shall--
`(1) determine the amount allocated to the State under
subsection (b) or (c) of this section and allocate the larger
amount to the State; and
`(2) allocate the amount allocated to the State to units of
general local government in the State under sections 6705 and
6706.
`(b) GENERAL FORMULA-
`(1) IN GENERAL- For the payment period beginning October 1,
1994, the amount allocated to a State under this subsection for
a payment period is the amount bearing the same ratio to
$5,300,000,000 as--
`(A) the population of the State, multiplied by the
general tax effort factor of the State (determined under
paragraph (2)), multiplied by the relative income factor of
the State (determined under paragraph (3)), multiplied by
the relative rate of the labor force unemployed in the
State (determined under paragraph (4)); bears to
`(B) the sum of the products determined under
subparagraph (A) of this paragraph for all States.
`(2) GENERAL TAX EFFORT FACTOR- The general tax effort factor
of a State for a payment period is--
`(A) the net amount of State and local taxes of the State
collected during the year 1991 as reported by the Bureau of
the Census in the publication Government Finances
1990-1991; divided by
`(B) the total income of individuals, as determined by
the Secretary of Commerce for national accounts purposes
for 1992 as reported in the publication Survey of Current
Business (August 1993), attributed to the State for the
same year.
`(3) RELATIVE INCOME FACTOR- The relative income factor of a
State is a fraction in which--
`(A) the numerator is the per capita income of the United
States; and
`(B) the denominator is the per capita income of the State.
`(4) RELATIVE RATE OF LABOR FORCE- The relative rate of the
labor force unemployed in a State is a fraction in which--
`(A) the numerator is the percentage of the labor force
of the State that is unemployed in the calendar year
preceding the payment period (as determined by the
Secretary of Labor for general statistical purposes); and
`(B) the denominator is the percentage of the labor force
of the United States that is unemployed in the calendar
year preceding the payment period (as determined by the
Secretary of Labor for general statistical purposes).
`(c) ALTERNATIVE FORMULA- For the payment period beginning
October 1, 1994, the amount allocated to a State under this
subsection for a payment period is the total amount the State would
receive if--
`(1) $1,166,666,667 were allocated among the States on the
basis of population by allocating to each State an amount
bearing the same ratio to the total amount to be allocated
under this paragraph as the population of the State bears to
the population of all States;
`(2) $1,166,666,667 were allocated among the States on the
basis of population inversely weighted for per capita income,
by allocating to each State an amount bearing the same ratio
to the total amount to be allocated under this paragraph as--
`(A) the population of the State, multiplied by a
fraction in which--
`(i) the numerator is the per capita income of all
States; and
`(ii) the denominator is the per capita income of the
State; bears to
`(B) the sum of the products determined under
subparagraph (A) for all States;
`(3) $600,000,000 were allocated among the States on the
basis of income tax collections by allocating to each State an

State (determined under subsection (d)(1)) bears to the sum of
the income tax amounts of all States;
`(4) $600,000,000 were allocated among the States on the
basis of general tax effort by allocating to each State an
amount bearing the same ratio to the total amount to be
allocated under this paragraph as the general tax effort amount
of the State (determined under subsection (d)(2)) bears to the
sum of the general tax effort amounts of all States;
`(5) $600,000,000 were allocated among the States on the
basis of unemployment by allocating to each State an amount
bearing the same ratio to the total amount to be allocated
under this paragraph as--
`(A) the labor force of the State, multiplied by a
fraction in which--
`(i) the numerator is the percentage of the labor
force of the State that is unemployed in the calendar
year preceding the payment period (as determined by the
Secretary of Labor for general statistical purposes); and
`(ii) the denominator is the percentage of the labor
force of the United States that is unemployed in the
calendar year preceding the payment period (as
determined by the Secretary of Labor for general
statistical purposes)
bears to
`(B) the sum of the products determined under
subparagraph (A) for all States; and
`(6) $1,166,666,667 were allocated among the States on the
basis of urbanized population by allocating to each State an
amount bearing the same ratio to the total amount to be
allocated under this paragraph as the urbanized population of
the State bears to the urbanized population of all States. In
this paragraph, the term `urbanized population' means the
population of an area consisting of a central city or cities of
at least 50,000 inhabitants and the surrounding closely settled
area for the city or cities considered as an urbanized area as
published by the Bureau of the Census for 1990 in the
publication General Population Characteristics for Urbanized
Areas.
`(d) INCOME TAX AMOUNT AND TAX EFFORT AMOUNT-
`(1) INCOME TAX AMOUNT- The income tax amount of a State for
a payment period is 15 percent of the net amount collected
during the calendar year ending before the beginning of the

individuals by the State and described as a State income tax
under section 164(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
(26 U.S.C. 164(a)(3)). The income tax amount for a payment
period shall be at least 1 percent but not more than 6 percent
of the United States Government individual income tax liability
attributed to the State for the taxable year ending during the
last calendar year ending before the beginning of the payment
period. The Secretary shall determine the Government income tax
liability attributed to the State by using the data published
by the Secretary for 1991 in the publication Statistics of
Income Bulletin (Winter 1993-1994).
`(2) GENERAL TAX EFFORT AMOUNT- The general tax effort amount
of a State for a payment period is the amount determined by
multiplying--

VIRGIN ISLANDS-
`(1) IN GENERAL- (A) For each payment period for which funds
are available for allocation under this chapter, the Secretary
shall allocate to each territorial government an amount equal
to the product of 1 percent of the amount of funds available
for allocation multiplied by the applicable territorial
percentage.
`(B) For the purposes of this paragraph, the applicable
territorial percentage of a territory is equal to the quotient
resulting from the division of the territorial population of
such territory by the sum of the territorial population for all
territories.
`(2) PAYMENTS TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS- The governments of the
territories shall make payments to local governments within
their jurisdiction from sums received under this subsection as
they consider appropriate.
`(3) DEFINITIONS- For purposes of this subsection--

American Samoa, and the Virgin Islands; and
`(C) the term `territorial population' means the most
recent population for each territory as determined by the
Bureau of Census.
`Sec. 6705. Local government allocations
`(a) INDIAN TRIBES AND ALASKAN NATIVES VILLAGES- If there is in a
State an Indian tribe or Alaskan native village having a recognized
governing body carrying out substantial governmental duties and
powers, the Secretary shall allocate to the tribe or village, out
of the amount allocated to the State under section 6704, an amount
bearing the same ratio to the amount allocated to the State as the
population of the tribe or village bears to the population of the
State. The Secretary shall allocate amounts under this subsection
to Indian tribes and Alaskan native villages in a State before
allocating amounts to units of general local government in the
State under subsection (c). For the payment period beginning
October 1, 1994, the Secretary shall use as the population of each
Indian tribe or Alaskan native village the population for 1991 as
reported by the Bureau of Indian Affairs in the publication Indian
Service Population and Labor Force Estimates (January 1991). In
addition to uses authorized under section 6701(a)(2), amounts
allocated under this subsection and paid to an Indian tribe or
Alaskan native village under this chapter may be used for
renovating or building prisons or other correctional facilities.

government that has been incorporated since the date of the
collection of the data used by the Secretary in making allocations
pursuant to sections 6704 through 6706 and 6708, the Secretary
shall allocate to this newly incorporated local government, out of
the amount allocated to the State under section 6704, an amount
bearing the same ratio to the amount allocated to the State as the
population of the newly incorporated local government bears to the
population of the State. If there is in the State a unit of general
local government that has been annexed since the date of the
collection of the data used by the Secretary in making allocations
pursuant to sections 6704 through 6706 and 6708, the Secretary
shall pay the amount that would have been allocated to this local
government to the unit of general local government that annexed it.
`(c) OTHER LOCAL GOVERNMENT ALLOCATIONS-
`(1) IN GENERAL- The Secretary shall allocate among the units
of general local government in a State (other than units
receiving allocations under subsection (a)) the amount

reduced by allocations under subsection (a)). Of the amount to
be allocated, the Secretary shall allocate a portion equal to
1/2 of such amount in accordance with section 6706(1), and
shall allocate a portion equal to 1/2 of such amount in
accordance with section 6706(2). A unit of general local
government shall receive an amount equal to the sum of amounts
allocated to the unit from each portion.
`(2) RATIO- From each portion to be allocated to units of
local government in a State under paragraph (1), the Secretary
shall allocate to a unit an amount bearing the same ratio to
the funds to be allocated as--

`(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.

`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;

`(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.
`(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

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

victim's losses, and provides a nominal restitution award.

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

offender, the court shall order full restitution of each victim

the defendant to make a single lump-sum payment or partial
payments at specified intervals.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
(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.

`(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--
`(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 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) 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.

rights.

The jury, or if there is no jury, the court, may consider whether
any other aggravating factor for which notice has been given exists.
`Sec. 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;
`(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 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.
`Sec. 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.
`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 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.
`Sec. 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
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.
`Sec. 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.
`Sec. 3598. Special provisions for Indian country
`Notwithstanding sections 1152 and 1153, no person subject 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

(a) FINDINGS- The Senate finds that--

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
(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.

Federal offense.

minor to commit;

frequently of even greater seriousness than involving a minor

intent of Congress that--

conduct', is not limited to nude exhibitions or exhibitions in
which the outlines of those areas were discernible through

(3)(B)(i), and (4)(B)(i) that the production of a visual
depiction involve the use of a minor engaging in `sexually

to exhibit the child in a lascivious manner.

in filing its brief in United States v. Knox, No. 92-1183, and

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.'.

SEC. 210303. QUALITY ASSURANCE AND PROFICIENCY TESTING STANDARDS.
(a) PUBLICATION OF QUALITY ASSURANCE AND PROFICIENCY TESTING
STANDARDS- (1)(A) Not later than 180 days after the date of
enactment of this Act, the Director of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation shall appoint an advisory board on DNA quality
assurance methods from among nominations proposed by the head of
the National Academy of Sciences and professional societies of
crime laboratory officials.
(B) The advisory board shall include as members scientists from
State, local, and private forensic laboratories, molecular
geneticists and population geneticists not affiliated with a
forensic laboratory, and a representative from the National
Institute of Standards and Technology.
(C) The advisory board shall develop, and if appropriate,
periodically revise, recommended standards for quality assurance,
including standards for testing the proficiency of forensic
laboratories, and forensic analysts, in conducting analyses of DNA.
(2) The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, after
taking into consideration such recommended standards, shall issue
(and revise from time to time) standards for quality assurance,
including standards for testing the proficiency of forensic
laboratories, and forensic analysts, in conducting analyses of DNA.
(3) The standards described in paragraphs (1) and (2) shall
specify criteria for quality assurance and proficiency tests to be
applied to the various types of DNA analyses used by forensic
laboratories. The standards shall also include a system for grading
proficiency testing performance to determine whether a laboratory
is performing acceptably.
(4) Until such time as the advisory board has made
recommendations to the Director of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the Director has acted upon those
recommendations, the quality assurance guidelines adopted by the
technical working group on DNA analysis methods shall be deemed
the Director's standards for purposes of this section.
(b) ADMINISTRATION OF THE ADVISORY BOARD- (1) For administrative
purposes, the advisory board appointed under subsection (a) shall
be considered an advisory board to the Director of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation.
(2) Section 14 of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C.
App.) shall not apply with respect to the advisory board appointed
under subsection (a).
(3) The DNA advisory board established under this section shall
be separate and distinct from any other advisory board administered
by the FBI, and is to be administered separately.
(4) The board shall cease to exist on the date 5 years after the
initial appointments are made to the board, unless the existence of
the board is extended by the Director of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.
(c) PROFICIENCY TESTING PROGRAM- (1) Not later than 1 year after
the effective date of this Act, the Director of the National
Institute of Justice shall certify to the Committees on the
Judiciary of the House and Senate that--
(A) the Institute has entered into a contract with, or made a
grant to, an appropriate entity for establishing, or has taken
other appropriate action to ensure that there is established,
not later than 2 years after the date of enactment of this Act,
a blind external proficiency testing program for DNA analyses,
which shall be available to public and private laboratories
performing forensic DNA analyses;
(B) a blind external proficiency testing program for DNA
analyses is already readily available to public and private
laboratories performing forensic DNA analyses; or
(C) it is not feasible to have blind external testing for DNA
forensic analyses.
(2) As used in this subsection, the term `blind external
proficiency test' means a test that is presented to a forensic
laboratory through a second agency and appears to the analysts to
involve routine evidence.
(3) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Attorney
General shall make available to the Director of the National
Institute of Justice during the first fiscal year in which funds
are distributed under this subtitle up to $250,000 from the funds
available under part X of Title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and
Safe Streets Act of 1968 to carry out this subsection.

justice agency in accordance with publicly available standards
that satisfy or exceed the guidelines for a quality assurance
program for DNA analysis, issued by the Director of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation under section 210303;
(2) prepared by laboratories, and DNA analysts, that undergo,
at regular intervals of not to exceed 180 days, external
proficiency testing by a DNA proficiency testing program
meeting the standards issued under section 210303; and
(3) maintained by Federal, State, and local criminal justice
agencies pursuant to rules that allow disclosure of stored DNA
samples and DNA analyses only--
(A) to criminal justice agencies for law enforcement
identification purposes;
(B) in judicial proceedings, if otherwise admissible
