This amendment would fill in a gap in the law by adding six other predicates for the electronic surveillance and monitoring under 18 U.S.C. 2516(1). While we were considering this bill in committee. the gentleman from California had an amendment which added a number of offenses to the wiretap statute. They went all the way from fraud and misuse of visas and violence at international airports. to offenses relating to torture. offenses relating to terrorist attacks against mass transportation. offenses of militarytype training from foreign terrorists. offenses related to explosive materials. There are a number of others that I believe should be in that same category that. unfortunately. we did not include when we considered his amendment. This proposed language would permit the interception by wire or by oral surveillance if the interception would provide evidence of six different types of crimes: One. arson within special maritime and territorial jurisdiction: Two. offenses relating to plastic explosives: Three. offenses related to attack on Federal facility with firearm.
