It would. for the first time. make an act of international terrorism committed in this country a violation of Federal law and provide severe punishment. including the death penalty in the case of terrorist murders. against those who would commit acts of violence against people in the United States for political purposes. The legislation will also strengthen the hand of U.S. authorities to attack international terrorists by making illegal conspiracies to plan overseas terrorist acts in this country. A second vital component of the legislation will make it easier to deport suspected terrorists from the United States. The current procedures of the Immigration and Nationality Act are cumbersome. The procedures outlined in this bill will expedite such deportations. Although I believe we need to study this issue. I am concerned about the due process implications of some of the special procedures that permit secret proceedings.
