I think where if we can just give that one bite at the apple. which this provision in the bill today does in our habeas corpus reforms. we can then have a fair procedure. one that gives due process to everybody who is convicted and sentenced to death. and. at the same time. provides a truly effective death penalty that puts swiftness and certainty of punishment back in and deterrence into the criminal justice system in this area. I believe it must be part of this bill. because it is the only vehicle we have reasonably available now that we think can go through the other body. go to the Presidents desk. and get it signed into law. The gentleman strikes the criminal alien provisions in this bill. and those are also important to the terrorist issue. because often times we find that terrorists or wouldbe terrorists are criminal aliens and we are not deporting them in a proper fashion. We do not have the right procedures for that. They are allowed to stick around here a long time. The sooner we get them out of the country. the better procedures we have for that. the less likely we are to have that element in this country either create the actual acts of terrorism or directing them in some manner. We need to kick these people out of the country and have the procedures to do that. The gentleman in his substitute does not provide for the criminal alien provisions for criminal alien deportation that are in the underlying bill. Mr. Chairman.
