S. 2205. A bill to enact the Omnibus
Antidrug Abuse Act of 1988, and for
other purposes; to the Committee on
the Judiciary.
OMNIBUS ANTIDRUG ABUSE ACT
Mr. DECONCINI. Mr. President, I
rise today to introduce the Omnibus
Antidrug Abuse Act of 1988 and do so
on behalf of myself, the distinguished
Senator from New York, Senator
D'AMATO and over 30 of my other col-
leagues.
Mr. President, the 1986 drug bill was
an example of what this Chamber and
what this Nation can do when it puts
partisan politics aside, rolls up its col-
lective sleeves, and gets serious about
the drug problem in this country.
Today, the bill that Senator D'AMATO
and I are introducing builds on the ac-
complishments of the 1986 drug bill
and goes the next step in mobilizing
all elements of our antidrug effort.
Mr. President, there may be a part
of the drug plague that we did not
attack in this legislation-but there
aren't many. This bill represents a bal-
anced, comprehensive assault on the
drug threat to this Nation. The bill
calls for an additional $2,448,000,000,
over the President's budget request for
fiscal year 1989 to beef up: First, law
enforcement personnel at our civilian
drug enforcement agencies; second,
drug interdiction assets for Coast
Guard and Customs and other agen-
cies with an interdiction mission;
third, Federal prison construction;
fourth, State and local narcotics con-
trol assistance; fifth, international in-
centives to promote drug eradication
and interdiction at the drug source
country level; sixth, treatment and re-
habilitation assistance .for those who
have already fallen victim to the drug
menace; and seventh, drug education
for our school systems around the
Nation.
The bill also opens up the Justice
and Treasury Department forfeiture
funds so that all of the resources re-
sulting from seizure and confiscation
from drug traffickers can be put to use
for State and local law enforcement
agencies and others who are eligible
for such assistance.
The bill includes a tough, new law
that attacks the problem of illicit
chemical diversion with rigid new pen-
alties for those who use chemicals to
manufacture the drugs that are poi-
soning our youth and ruining lives in
this country.
The bill also authorizes funds for ad-
ditional training of our law enforce-
ment personnel and establishes a new
program of research and development
at existing Department of Defense and
other Federal laboratories, to study
new technologies that will help our
drug enforcement agencies keep ahead
of the sophisticated, well-financed
drug smuggler.
And, finally, the bill authorizes the
establishment of a nonlegislative
Senate Select Committee on Narcotics
Abuse and Control that will give us a
full-time oversight committee that will
review the drug abuse issue and pro-
vide advice and counsel to the Senate.
Mr. President, in crafting this legis-
lation, we knew that it would cost
money to really launch a full scale as-
sault on the drug problem on multiple
fronts. We were aware of the economic
budget summit agreement; the
Gramm-Rudman-Hollings deficit tar-
gets; and the need to try to find off-
sets for the programs and initiatives
contained in this legislation.
So, Mr. President, this bill not only
sets out new, aggressive initiatives for
tackling the drug enforcement and
drug abuse problems, it contains a for-
mula for how we intend to pay for
them.. Here is how we would pay for
the bill:
First, in testimony before my Treas-
ury Appropriations Subcommittee just
last Monday, the Commissioner of IRS
testified that if we were to add $286.6
million and approximately 6,800 new
positions over the President's budget,
the Treasury would receive an addi-
tional $1,120,000,000 over and above
the revenue assumptions in the eco-
nomic budget summit agreement. We
would add the additional positions to
IRS for increased tax enforcement
and deposit the additional revenues
generated into . a. special antidrug
abuse trust fund in Treasury. These
funds. would then only be available to
pay for the drug bill.
Second, in response to our inquiry,
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and
Firearms indicated that an additional
$3 million and 40 positions put into ag-
gressive enforcement of the special oc-
cupational alcohol tax would generate
an additional $130 million over and
above the President's budget for fiscal
year 1989. We provide the additional
funding and positions in this bill, with
the additional revenues going into the
new special fund I just mentioned.
S 2857
Finally, for many years I have been
introducing legislation that would
force our Federal agencies to be more
aggressive in the collection of delin-
quent debt owed-to the Government. I
was one of the original cosponsors of
Senator CHARLES PERCY'S debt collec-
tion bill back in 1980 and last year I
introduced my own bill, S. 1270 that
would provide new incentives and
goals for debt collection. The bill that
is being introduced today, mandates
the collection of $2 billion over and
above the debt collection estimates of
the President for fiscal 1989.
We include a new approach to push-
ing agencies to use all of the tools
available to collect the nearly $29 bil-
lion in nontax delinquent debt cur-
rently on the books. Under the bill, we
would allow an agency to keep a por-
tion of the funds it collects over and
above its debt collection target set by
the Secretary of the Treasury. On the
other hand, if an agency falls short of .
its target, the President would then
propose a rescission of a portion of
their funding, based on -how short of
their goal they fell.
All of the $2 billion to be collected
over and above the President's budget
estimates would be deposited into the
special antidrug abuse Treasury fund
to help pay for the drug bill.
.In total, there would be more than
enough additional revenues put into
the special fund to cover the entire
cost of the drug bill for fiscal year
1989, with some left over. So even if
our estimates of the aggregate cost of
the Omnibus Antidrug Abuse Act of
1988 are off slightly, the special fund
would have sufficient resources to
cover the bill's price tag. And we
would not be violating either the
Gramm-Rudman-Hollings targets, or
the economic budget summit, or the
President's budget.
CONCLUSION
Mr. President, this is a good bill. It
hits the drug problem on many fronts.
It is fiscally responsible and pays for
itself. And, most importantly, it is
needed now. The drug problem has
not gone away since 1986. We need to
provide this additional muscle to fight
the narcotics trafficker-and this bill
does that.
Mr. President, I understand that
Congressman GLENN ENGLISH will be
introducing virtually the same bill
later today in the House. I also under-
stand that the Speaker of the House
has made a commitment to Mr. ENG-
LISH that he will attempt to bring up
the drug bill before June. That is en-
couraging, and I hope that the leader-
ship in the Senate will move this legis-
lation to the floor quickly before the
summer.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous con-
sent that a copy of the Omnibus Anti-
drug Abuse Act of 1988 be printed in
the RECORD.
Mr. President, I also ask unanimous
consent that a detailed summary of

Subtitle B--State and Local Narcotics Control
Assistance Act of 1988
SEC. 110. DECLARATION AND PURPOSE.
(a) Congress finds that this Nation is en-
gulfed in an epidemic of drug abuse that is
threatening our country's productivity and,
in particular, the minds and future of our
youngest citizens. Throughout the past
decade, trends in trafficking and abuse pat-
terns have necessitated a new response-one
that is the product of a nationwide strategy
that is not limited by jurisdictional bound-
aries and single constituency interests. The
absence of legislatively mandated or policy
driven targeting of resources and energy
will sustain a scattered approach to a drug
abuse problem which, by its nature, de-
mands a concerted, coordinated attack.
(b) Congress further finds that State and
local governments are critical participants
in a national effort to reduce the demand
for and stem the distribution of drugs in
this Nation.
(c) It is therefore the declared policy of
the Congress to initiate a new national
strategy to curb drug abuse in the United
States that makes full use of the energy and
expertise of State and local units of govern-
ment.
(d) It is the,purpose of this subtitle to em-
power States to address their own jurisdic-
tional drug control problems while, simulta-
neously, supporting national drug control
priorities and objectives. Congress finds
that enhanced national attention, and thus
resources provided under this subtitle, are
required In the areas of (1) generation and
linkage of intelligence information and sys-
tems; (2) coordination of effort at the Fed-
eral, State, and local levels of government;
(3) model legislation enacted on a nation-
wide basis; (4) strategic drug control plan-
ning and policy that integrates education,
prevention, treatment, enforcement, pros-
ecution, and corrections in a systemwide ap-
proach; (5) standardization of data collec-
tion systems; and (6) technological and
operational advancements.
PART A-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE BUREAU
OF JUSTICE ASSISTANCE
SEC. 111. BUREAU OF JUSTICE ASSISTANCE.
Section 401 of part D of title I of the Om-
nibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of
1968 (42 U.S.C. 3741) is amended to read as
follows:
"There is established within the Depart-
ment of Justice, under the general author-
ity of the Attorney General, a Bureau of
Justice Assistance (hereinafter referred to
in this part and part D as the "Bureau").
The Bureau shall be headed by a Director
(hereinafter referred to as the "Director")
who shall be appointed by the President, by
and with the advice and consent of the
Senate. The Director shall have final au-
thority for all grants, cooperative agree-
ments, and contracts awarded by the
Bureau. The Director shall not engage in
any employment other than that of serving
as the Director, nor shall the Director hold
any office in, or act in any capacity for, any
organization, agency, or institution with
which the Bureau makes any contract or
other arrangement under this or such
SEC. 112. DUTIES AND FUNCTIONS OF THE DIREC-
TOR.
The Director of the Bureau of Justice As-
sistance (hereinafter in this subtitle re-
ferred to in this title as the "Director"), in
addition to his duties under part D of title I
of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe
Streets Act of 1968, shall-
(1) provide funds to eligible States, units
of local government, and private nonprofit
and public organizations pursuant to this
subtitle;
(2) after consultation with Federal, State,
and local drug control agencies, develop an
annual State and Local Strategic Drug Con-
trol Plan that integrates priorities and criti-
cal needs of Federal, State, and local drug
control; and
(3) publish and disseminate information
on the condition and progress of drug con-
trol activities at the Federal, State, and
local levels, with particular attention to pro-
grams and intervention efforts demonstrat-
ed by assessments to be of value in an over-
all national strategy.
SEC. 113. STATE AND LOCAL COORDINATION.
To assure that all Federal assistance to
State and local drug control programs is car-
ried out in an efficient manner, the Bureau
of Justice Assistance (hereinafter referred
to in this title as the "Bureau") is author-
ized to coordinate activities and request any
Federal department or agency to supply
such statistics, program reports, and other
material as the Bureau deems necessary to
carry out its, functions under this subtitle.
Each such department or agency is author-
ized and directed to cooperate with the
Bureau and, to the extent permitted by law,
to furnish such materials to the Bureau.
The Bureau shall-
(1) ensure a fully coordinated effort
toward a national drug control strategy in-
volving drug control departments, agencies,
and boards at the Federal, State, and local
levels of government;
(2) serve as the coordinating Federal
agency for the submission of a single appli-
cation for all State and local grant-in-aid
programs under the Antidrug Abuse Act of
1986; coordinate the application require-
ments with each of the Federal agencies in-
volved to allow for one State document that
represents a statewide drug control strategy
incorporating all drug control elements
(e.g., prevention, education, enforcement,
treatment). Such single State submission is
intended to meet the requirements of the
Departments of Education, Health and
Human Services, Justice, and any other
Federal agencies providing financial or tech-
nical assistance and intergovernmental
fiscal transfers; and
(3) consider the priorities of and maintain
liaison with Federal agencies having drug
S 2859
control authority to assure a coordinated
placement and implementation of major
programs to the initiated.
PART B-DRUG CONTROL FORMULA GRANT
PROGRAM
SEC. 114. GRANTS.
It is the purpose of this part to encourage
the implementation of a nationwide and
multilevel drug control strategy through
the development of programs and projects
which will assist multijurisdictional and
multi-State in the drug control problem and
support national drug control priorities. It is
not the intent of Congress to restrict the
use of programs at the State and local level,
but to encourage a systematic approach to a
national strategy which will involve all par-
ticipants working toward a similar- goal.
Grants may be made for additional person-
nel, equipment, facilities, personnel train-
ing, and supplies. The Bureau is authorized
to make grants to States having statewide
drug control strategies approved by the
Bureau for:
(1) Zero Tolerance Enforcement Programs
that effect heightened public awareness of
and support for local drug control enforce-
ment projects such as drug specific - (e.g.,
gang targeted, organized crime) task forces,
street sweeps, and special projects for high
visibility crime areas.
(2) Multi-Jurisdictional Task Force Pro-
grams that integrate the resources and
knowledge of Federal, State, and local drug
law enforcement agencies for the purpose of
enhancing interagency coordination and fa-
cilitating multijurisdictional investigations.
(3) Precursor Control Programs designed
to prevent major precursor chemicals from
reaching clandestine laboratories, including
recordkeeping systems, monitoring proce-
dures, and model legislation such as that en-
acted by the States of Arizona, California,
Nevada, and Texas.
(4) Pharmaceutical Diversion Programs di-
rected at the licensing, regulation, and in-
vestigation of practitioners registrants, in-
cluding Schedule 2 triplicate prescription
programs and enactment of model legisla-
tion.
(5) Law Enforcement Demand Reduction
Programs that increase the participation of
drug law enforcement officers in drug abuse
prevention programs, such as the Law En-
forcement Explorers Program, Sport Drug
Awareness Program, and Drug Abuse Re-
sistance Education (DARE).
(6) Countermeasures Threat Analysis Pro-
grams that address the technological capa-
bilities of drug traffickers, the threat that
such technology poses to the safety and ef-
fectiveness of drug law enforcement offi-
cers, and responses to the threat, including
nationwide threat assessments, and technol-
ogy development projects.
(7) Clandestine Laboratory Programs that
enhance the investigative capabilities of
State and local officers, and provide certi-
fied training and equipment necessary to
ensure the safety of State and local person-
nel who seize and enter clandestine labora-
tories. .
(8) Drug Control Law Enforcement Train-
ing Programs that enhance the technical ca-
pabilities of State and local drug control
personnel.

sist of the following members:
(1) four members of the United States
Senate, two of whom shall be selected by
the Majority Leader and two of whom shall
be selected by the Minority Leader;
(2) four members of the United States

Personnel Management after consultation
with the Speaker of the House and the Ma-
jority Leader of the Senate.

salary, overtime pay, and other benefits of
law enforcement' officers in all Federal
agencies, as well as the methods and rates of
compensation of State and local law en-
forcement officers in a representative
number of areas where Federal law enforce-
ment officers are assigned, in order to deter-
mine-
(1) the differences which exist among
Federal agencies with regard to the meth-
ods and rates of compensation for law en-
forcement officers;
(2) the rational basis, if any, for such dif-
ferences, considering the nature of the re-
sponsibilities of the law enforcement offi-
cers in each agency; the qualifications and
training required to perform such responsi-
bilities; the degree of personal risk to which
the law enforcement officers in each agency
are normally exposed in the performance of
their duties; and such other factors as the
Commission deems relevant in evaluating
-the differences in compensation among the
various agencies;
(3) the extent to which inequities appear
to exist among Federal agencies with regard
to the methods and rates of compensation
of law enforcement officers, based on con-
sideration of the factors mentioned in para-
graph (2) of this subsection;
(4) the feasibility of devising a uniform
system of overtime compensation for law
enforcement officers in all or most Federal
agencies, with due regard for both the spe-
cial needs of law enforcement officers and
the relative cost effectiveness to the Gov-
ernment of such a system compared to
those currently in use;
(5) how the salaries paid to Federal law
enforcement officers compare to those of
State and local officers in the same geo-
graphical area, especially those in "high
cost-of-living" areas;
(6) the impact of the rates of compensa-
tion paid by various Federal agencies on the
lifestyle, morale, and general well-being of
law enforcement officers, including their
ability to subsist;
(7) the recruiting and retention problems
experienced by Federal agencies due to: in-
equities in compensation among such agen-
cies; the differences between rates of com-
pensation paid to Federal law enforcement
officers and State and local officers in the
same geographical areas; and other factors
related to compensation; and
(8) the extent to which Federal legislation
and administrative regulations may be nec-
essary or appropriate to rectify inequities
among Federal agencies in the methods and
rates of compensation for law enforcement
officers; to address the lack of uniformity
among agencies with regard to overtime
pay; to provide premiums or special rates of
pay for Federal law enforcement officers in
high cost-of-living areas; to ensure that the
levels of compensation paid to Federal law
enforcement officers will be competitive
with those paid to State and local officers in
the same geographical areas; and to address
such other matters related to the determi-
nations made under this subsection as the
Commission deems appropriate in the inter-
ests of enhancing the ability of Federal
agencies to recruit and retain the most
qualified and capable law enforcement offi-
cers.

SEC. 184. ADDITIONAL GROUNDS FOR DEPORTA.
TION; GROUNDS FOR APPEAL.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, except section 243(h) of the Immi-
gration and Nationality Act, any alien in the
United States (including an alien crewman)
shall, upon the order of the Attorney Gen-
eral, be deported as a violent criminal alien
if such alien has been convicted and sen-
tenced in a United States district court or in
a court of record of any State, territory,
possession, or in the District of Columbia
for an aggravated violent felony and such
conviction and sentence shall revoke by op-
eration of law the permanent resident
status of any alien and such conviction and
sentence shall serve as conclusive evidence
of the deportability of any alien.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, the District Director of the Immigra-
tion and Naturalization Service for the dis-
trict in which it appears that an alien was
convicted and sentenced for an aggravated
violent felony shall, on behalf of the Attor-
ney General, issue and order of deportation
for the alleged violent criminal alien which
shall be effective as of the date of sentence.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision
.of law, an order of deportation for an al-
leged violent criminal alien, in his native
language, shall be personally served on the
alleged violent criminal alien named there-
in. Said order of deportation shall be simply
worded to inform the alleged violent crimi-
nal alien of at least the following informa-
tion:
(1) the data and the court in which the
subject of the order of deportation.was con-
victed and sentenced for an alleged aggra-
vated violent felony;
(2) a description, including the citation, of
the crime alleged to be the aggravated vio-
lent felony;
(3) a notice that the order of deportation
will become a final order of deportation
unless the subject of the order petitions a
United States district court to vacate the
order of deportation within 30 days of its
personal service on the alleged violent crimi-
nal alien; and
(4) an explanation of the procedure to
vacate the order of deportation.
(d)(1) Notwithstanding any other provi-
sion of law, a person alleged to be a violent
criminal alien may petition a United States
district court to vacate an order of deporta-
tion on the grounds that he is a United
States citizen and therefore not subject to
an order of deportation, that he is not the
person named in the order of deportation as
having been convicted and sentenced for the
aggravated violent felony which is the basis
for the order of deportation, or that the
conviction which is the basis for the order
of deportation is not an aggravated violent
felony as that term is defined in this Act.
(2) A petition to vacate an order of depor-
tation by the person named therein as a vio-
lent criminal alien must set forth under
oath the ground or grounds, set forth in
subsection (a), upon which the alleged vio-
lent criminal alien seeks to vacate his order
of deportation. If petitioner claims United
States citizenship, he must allege the names
of his natural mother and father and the
date and place of his birth.
(3) A petition by an alleged violent crimi-
nal alien to vacate an order of deportation
must be served on the United States Attor-
ney for the judicial district in which the pe-
tition is filed. Within 30 days of service
upon the appropriate United States Attor-
ney, a reply shall be filed with the district
court and served upon the alleged violent
criminal alien or his attorney acknowledg-
ing or disputing, with appropriate documen-
tary evidence, the ground or grounds al-
leged in the petition as the basis to vacate
the order of deportation.
(4) Within 30 days of the service on the al-
leged violent criminal alien or his attorney
of the reply of the United States Attorney,
a United States district judge may conduct a
hearing, without a jury, to resolve any dis-
puted questions of fact as to whether the
person alleged to be a violent criminal alien
is a United States citizen, or as to whether
the person who is the subject of the order
of deportation was convicted and sentenced
for an aggravated violent felony as that
term is defined in this Act, or as to whether
the crime alleged in the order of deporta-
tion is an aggravated violent felony as that
term is defined in this Act. The burden of
proof by a preponderance of the evidence is
upon the petitioner to establish United
States citizenship and the burden of proof
by a preponderance of evidence Is upon the
United States to establish that the person
named in the order of deportation is peti-
tioner or that petitioner was convicted and
sentenced for an aggravated violent felony,
as that term is defined in this Act. The Fed-
eral Rules of Evidence shall apply to this
hearing. At the conclusion of the hearing
the United States district court must make
a finding as to whether, petitioner is a vio-
lent criminal alien and thus subject to de-
portation pursuant to this Act. If petitioner
is adjudicated a violent criminal alien, the
court shall -issue a final order of deporta-
tion.
March 23, 1988
(5) Petitioner may appeal a final order of
deportation, issued pursuant to this subtitle,
to the appropriate United States court of
appeals, and said order of deportation shall
be stayed pending the decision and order of
the court of appeals. The United States may
appeal the vacatur of an order of deporta-
tion, issued pursuant to this subtitle, to the
appropriate United States court of appeals.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, when the conviction and sentence of
an aggravated violent felony, which served
as the basis for the deportation of a person
who had previously been lawfully admitted
for permanent residence, is reversed by a
United States district court or by a court of
record of any State, territory, possession, or
in the District of Columbia, the alien may
petition the Attorney General from his
native country for discretionary reinstate-
ment of the status of an alien lawfully ad-
mitted for permanent residence.
(f) Nothing in this subtitle shall be con-
strued as altering the authority of a special
inquiry officer with respect to proceedings
to determine the deportability- of aliens
other than violent criminal aliens.

ful that they threaten to overwhelm small

TITLE IX-CONGRESSIONAL POLICY RE-
GARDING ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR
FISCAL YEAR 1989 FOR ANTIDRUG ABUSE
PROGRAMS
SEC. 901. STATEMENT OF POLICY.
(a) The Congress finds that-
(1) the programs, projects, -activities, and
initiatives contained in this Act are of criti-
cal importance in developing a comprehen-
sive approach to addressing the multiple
facets of the drug abuse problem that faces
the United States of America;
(2) the President's budget for fiscal year
1989 as presented to the Congress on Febru-
ary 18, 1988, contains funding for some but
not all of the programs, projects, activities,
and initiatives contained in this Act, and
does not provide sufficient funding to
launch a full scale assault on the drug abuse
problem that plagues the United States;
(3) there is an urgent and critical need for
appropriations, in addition to those request-
ed in the President's budget for fiscal year
1989 as presented to Congress on February
18, 1988, to carry out the programs,
projects, activities, and initiatives contained
and authorized in this Act, and to ensure
continuation of the momentum generated
by the bipartisan Antidrug Abuse Act of
1986 (Public Law 99-570);
(4) the additional appropriations required
in fiscal year 1989 to accommodate the pro-
grams, projects, activities, and initiatives
contained in this Act should be included in
the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget
for fiscal years 1989, 1990, and 1991 with
sufficient levels of appropriations allocated
to the Committees on Appropriations of the
House and Senate through the section
302(a) allocation process under the Budget
Act of 1974, as amended to accommodate
the programs, activities, and initiatives con-
?tained in this Act; and
(5) the terms and conditions of the Bipar-
tisan Congressional Leadership Budget
summit should, if necessary, be amended to
accommodate the level of new budget au-
thority and outlays to fully fund the pro-
grams, activities, and initiatives contained in
this Act.
(b) Therefore, it is the intent of Congress
that-
(1) new budget authority and outlays re-
quired to carry out the programs, activities,
initiatives contained in this Act shall be ac-
commodated in the concurrent resolution
on the budget for fiscal year 1989 and cross-
walked to the Committees on Appropria-
tions of the House and Senate and other ap-
propriate committees of the Congress
through the section 302(a) allocation proc-
ess under the Budget Act of 1974, as amend-
ed;

of 1988 is based on the proposition
that the 1 ederal Government should
assume as a normal function the
arrest, prosecution, and punishment of
narcotics dealers. It is elemental. To
help the Federal Government meet
this responsibility, our bill authorizes
much-needed funding increases for the
Coast Guard, Customs Service, Border
Patrol, Drug Enforcement Agency,
and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
In addition, the Omnibus Anti-Drug
Abuse Act of 1988. resurrects an impor-
tant program which iI have fought 'to
maintain since the onset of the
Reagan administration. That is the
State and Local Narcotics Control As-
sistance Program-the heir to the Law
Enforcement Assistance Administra-
tion. In 1984 and 1985, when President
Reagan tried to eliminate it, I intro-
duced legislation to 'save it. We were
successful in doing so by including it
in the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986.
However, the administration has cut
its budget substantially since then and
proposed to eliminate it entirely for
fiscal year 1989.
Another important provision affects
the numbers of drug law violators
pending trial that have come to this
country illegally. On the first day of
the Congress., I introduced S. 48, the
Criminal Alien Departure Act, to es-
tablish a pilot program whereby drug-
law offenders would be given the
option of a trial, at taxpayers expense,
or be deported immediately. There is a
similar provision in the bill we intro-
duce today; a bill that will do much to
help the Federal-Government meet its
responsibilities in the war against
drugs.*
Mr. GRAHAM. Mr. President, last
week I was in Florida visiting in a
small community in the northern part
of our State, Madison, FL. There I met
with Sheriff.Peevy, a long-time highly
regarded law-enforcement official in
our State. He told me that in that
small community 85 percent of the
persons who were incarcerated in the
county jail were there because of a
drug-related offense. They either had
committed a drug-related crime or
were supporing a drug habit.
Mr. President, this is not an issue
that is exclusive to a handful of large
communities in this Nation. This is
not an issue which is exclusive to a few
areas of geography that are especially
exposed to drug trafficking from inter-
national sources. This is an issue
which has come into the mainstream
and the Main Streets of America. The
strong steps which this legislation
takes would be a statement of our na-
tional commitment .to winning the war
against drugs. I am concerned, Mr.
President, that this is a war in which
we have :sexlt out :mixed .signals. The
actions which 'wiere taken in 1987 in
terms of sharp recommended reduc-
tions in the 1986 drug legislation
would have been analogous to the
United States, in 1942, having decided
to surrender and retreat from the
commitment that we made ion Decem-
ber 8, 1941, in dedlaring war against
the Axis. We need to see that our na-
tional security and victory In the war
against drugs are common objectives.
They are not separate issues. They are
issues which must be seen ,as necessary
victories for America if America is to
realize itts,fut'r re.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous acon-
sent to submit for the RECORD an arti-
cle from the Florida Times Union of
March 13 of- this year and an article
from Newsweek of March 28 of this
year outlining ,the drug situation in
the catty Hof Jacksonville, FL, as well as
on a national :front.
There being no objection, the arti-
cles were ordered to be printed in the
RECORD, as follows:
CRACK FUELS FIRE OF ILLICIT ACTIVITY
(By Peggie I. Evans)
"You want to buy some?" asked G.G., one
of hundreds who sell crack cocaine on the
streets of Jacksonville.
Displaying a big wad of money pulled
from his pocket,, G.G., 19, said he makes
$800 a week selling crack in Brentwood
Park, a public housing project on the city's
Northside.
Six months ago before entering the illicit
drug trade, he said, he worked in a fast-food
restaurant. G.G., unlike many who deal in
crack, said he does not use -drugs, . and uses
his money to buy clothes and for savings.
As the use of crack soars in Jacksonville,
more and more.people like G.G. are taking
to the streets to make big money in a hurry,
police say.
"These are people who found a way to
make money fast," said Jerry Rinehart,
head of federal Drug Enforcement Adminis-
tration office of Northeast Florida. "Jack-
sonville was wide-open for it."
In a little more than a year's tine, .crack,
an inexpensive,. highly addictive form of co-
caine that is smoked, has been designated as
the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office No. 1 crime
problem because of the violence and other
crime it breeds.
"What was a.minimum problem is now an
epidemic," said Wayne Ellis, a-special assist-
ant state attorney in Jacksonville in charge
of a division set up to prosecute major drug
cases in Northeast Florida. Cocaine seizures
here that used to measure in the ounces
now measure in pounds, Ellis said.
Police blame .crack, which accounts for 46
percent of all felony drug arrests in Jack-
sonville, in part for the city's burgeoning
.murder rate-the highest in Florida-and
growing crime rate, the second highest in
the state.
"The people who buy drugs here have to
get money to buy drugs. They steal, they
rob," said Captain W.K. David, head of the
Sheriff's Office's narcotics division. "People
don't rob a 7-Eleven for $50 for the profit"
but for money to buy drugs, he said.
Crime is terrorizing Jacksonville's poor
neighborhoods, where most of the city's
crack is sold-usually openly an street cor-
ners-and where gunfights often break ,out.
In one ,neighbnlthocd, near Myrtle and 21st
streets, seven people were shot to 'death
within a-ew weeks tm' a in late 19137.
Escalating crime and drug fights have
turned some neighborhoods into %artual war
zones, with residents fearful to leave their
homes.
"We hear shooting at night. We don't
know where its coming from," said a gray-
haired grandmother who has lived in 'her
small, neat home in.8pringtieeld for 14 years.
"I used to feel safe living here." the
woman sad. Now, she said, "I'm scared to go
out at night."
Springfield, once a 'neighborhood of,
mostly big, fine homes, is largely.a rundown
Northside neighborhood where many homes
have been boarded up and abandoned. It is
an area :infested with drug dealers, with
street pushers openly flagging down pass-
ers-by in an -effort to make a sale.
"You walk two -blocks and you get killed,"
screamed a man repeatedly to a visitor to
the neighborhood.

mugged if they leave their homes. And if

they leave their homes, they're afraid their
homes will get robbed," said Jacksonville
Councilwoman Sandra Darling, who repre-
sents Soringfield. Ms. Darling uses a gun, an
alarm system and three Doberman
pinschers to guard her home in the neigh-
borhood, she said.
Across town in Colony Manor Apartments,
a public housing project on the city's South-
side, a mother recalls getting caught in the
crossfire of a shoot-out as she and her child
pulled their car into the drive of the
project, where she said drugs are openly
sold around the clock.
"I didn't know whether to pull up or go
backward. I had my little boy. We could
have been killed."
"I don't fault the police," the mother, who
like other neighborhood residents inter-
viewed did not want her names used for fear
of reprisals from drug dealers. "The sight of
police cars and they run," but minutes later
they are back selling drugs," she said.
At University Hospital, nurses and doctors
struggle to care for infants born with co-
caine addiction passed on to them from
their mothers who are addicts.
In crack houses-where addicts gather to
buy and smoke the drug-and on street cor-
ners around the city, young women sell
their bodies for as little as $10, police say,
just enough to buy another crack high.
"It's going to get worse before it gets
better," Ellis said. "We're in for a tough
time for the next year or two."
The reason crack use has spread so quick-,
ly in Jacksonville and many other parts of
the nation is because it is cheap, quickly ad-
dictive, and profitable for drug dealers to
sell because of the nation's abundant and
increasing supply of cocaine, which made up
the biggest share of the nation's.1987 esti-
mated $130 billion illegal drug trade, say
federal drug enforcement officials.
Jacksonville's proximity to South Florida,
the nation's hub for cocaine trade, has made
it easy for dealers to get cocaine. The drug
is usually transported from South Florida to
.Jacksonville up -I-95, where heavy traffic
makes it virtually impossible for police to
halt the flow of drugs there, law enforce-
ment officials say.
A "hit," or dose, of crack costs $10 on
Jacksonville's streets, vs. the $70 to $90 a
gram for powered cocaine, making crack af-
fordable to many. Crack users become ad-
dicted to the drug in as little as two weeks,
according to drug therapists.
The tragedy of crack addition is compara-
ble only to heroin addiction, and is perhaps
worse, drug therapists say.
"We've had patients go downhill in three
months, lost their job, everything," said Mi-
chelle Fitzhugh, a head nurse at River
Region Human Services Inc., a nonprofit
Jacksonville drug treatment center. "Some
have engaged in criminal activity to buy the
drug. You don't see that happen so fast in
drugs except crack cocaine."
A $10 hit of crack produces a high that
lasts 15 to 20 minutes, and addicts can spend
in the hundreds of dollars a day to feed
their habits. After their euphoric high, ad-
dicts experience extreme depression, rest-
lessness and become paranoid, with an over-
powering craving for yet another high. -
Crack is made by cooking impurities out
of cocaine, producing a more potent drug.
Tiny yellow chunks of crack are sold on
Jacksonville's streets in small, clear plastic
bags that are used for storing contact
lenses.
The people selling crack on Jacksonville's
streets number in the hundreds, police say,
and many are making hundreds of dollars a
day In drug sales. Many of them are crack
addicts themselves, and many are armed
with guns. and knives.
Most street dealers are from Jacksonville,
but growing numbers are from South Flori-
da.
Because South Florida is saturated with
cocaine and because of heavy drug enforce-
ment there, some small dealers are leaving
the part of the state for greener pastures
elsewhere to sell their drugs for a higher
price with less risk to themselves.
"When we put all the pressure on a place
like Miami and those people start going to
jail, people there start looking for another
place to go" and some are coming to Jack-
sonville, Rinehart said.
An alleged crack dealer known as Bo
Didley, who controlled crack sales in a 30-
block area of Miami, left the city six months
ago after his organization was battered by
heavy arrests and drug seizures, police said.
And according to Miami police Sgt. David
Riggs, Didley has relocated his operation to
Jacksonville.
South Florida's estimated 200 drug kings
who preside over much of the nation's drug
trafficking, however, are not leaving their
longtime base, DEA officials say.
Jacksonville police and federal drug
agents estimate there are less than a half
dozen loosely knit organizations that are
controlling a large portion of crack sales in
Jacksonville. The organizations vary in size
from 10 or 15 people to as many as 50
people who are responsible for transporting
cocaine to Jacksonville, making it into
crack, and distributing it to their numerous
street dealers.
On the streets, teenagers get paid $150 a
day to patrol territories on bicyles and give
street dealers warning of approaching police
units or suspicious cars that may contain
undercover police. The dealers often run
and toss away their drugs, making arrests
difficult.
In addition to the organized crack oper-
ations, police say numerous small entrepre-
neurs are cooking up their own crack to sell
on the streets.
Many of the city's shootings and mur-
ders-42 murders so far this year and 151 in
1987-have been triggered by crack dealers
fighting over street territory or disputes
over drug deals, such as when a crack user
finds he has been sold chips of soap instead
of crack, police say.
The Miami Boys, violent crack dealers
thought to be part of a cartel from South
Florida, make up less than 10 percent of the
city's crack dealers, DEA and Jacksonville
sheriff's official said.
Those running the city's crack cocaine or-
ganizations, which like the street pushers
are made up mostly of Jacksonville people
intertwined with growing numbers from
South Florida, are making as much as thou-
sands of dollars a day, according to Jackson-
ville narcotics Lt. W.B. Hodges.
"They live in the fast lane. They drive big
cars-usually several-like BMWs and Mer-
cedeses," Hodges said. "They like gold. Big
gold chains and big gold diamond rings.
Gold seems to be their status symbol."
The city's major crack dealers live in
middle-class neighborhoods but may deco-
rate their homes elaborately on the inside
with expensive goods, Hodges said -"They
spend most of their money on themselves
and their women," saving little, he said.
Under the Jacksonville Sheriffs Office's
Operation Crackdown, a special task force
set up last November to attack the crack
problem, more than 1,000 people have been
arrested in the last three months. But
almost all have been street pushers and
crack users, with the city's major crack deal-
ers left unscathed.
Federal and Jacksonville law enforcement
agencies are focusing increasing resources
on busting up the city's crack cocaine orga-
March 23, 1988
nizations. When and if the busts are success-
ful, there will be increased violence on Jack-
sonville's streets as new dealers move in and
fight it out over territory, said DEA special
agent Brian Rafferty.
"There will be gang fights and killing on
the streets," said Rafferty, who is stationed
in Jacksonville.
But breaking up the organizations will
also disrupt the flow of crack to the streets,
says DEA's Rinehart, "It'll take organiza-
tions one and a half years to get where
these people are today," Rinehart said.
Crack dealers, who are mostly young and
black, are a separate and distinct group
from cocaine dealers, who are mostly white,
individual entrepreneurs who sell their
drugs through a network of contacts rather
than on the streets, Rinehart said.
Powdered cocaine is an abundant in Jack-
sonville as crack, which is used by blacks
and whites, but the violence and crime asso-
ciated with crack has made that drug law
enforcement's biggest worry, police say.
As part of Operation Crackdown, sheriff's
officers posing as pushers have taken to the
streets selling crack. Crack users have of-
fered as payment for the drug such items as
a moped, chain saw, a leather jacket and
jewelry, items which most likely were
stolen, said David of the city's. narcotics divi-
sion.
The sting operations with police acting as
street, pushers, which some defense lawyers
have decried as entrapment, began in Feb-
ruary and are expected to continue at the
rate of several a month. Police say jailing
crack users, even if only for a short time,
may deter them from seeking the drug
when they are freed for fear of another
arrest.
Possession of crack is a felony, but sen-
tences are often short because of jail and
prison overcrowding. Street dealers are usu-
ally charged with possession 'rather than
stiffer trafficking charges because they
carry only small amounts of crack, stashing
the rest under a nearby bush or letting
someone a block away hold most of their
drug.
Prosecutor Ellis said he is planning to
take crack offenders into the public schools
in a few weeks to talk to students about the
addiction that has placed the addl. its behind
bars and wreaked havoc in their li% es.
Marijuana remains the drug of choice for
most students because it is so cheap, but law
enforcement officials worry that once teen-
agers get out of school they may graduate
to using crack.
"Education is the key to this whole thing,
"Ellis said, "We can't seal the borders, and
we can't put a police officer on every
corner."
Darrel Gonzales started smoking marijua-
na when he was 13 and by 22 was addicted
to crack. Now 26, he is in a drug treatment
for the third time trying to kick his crack
habit.
"It ruined my job that I had. It lowered
my morale, my values. It destroyed every
sense of responsibility. Nothing was as im-
portant as me getting high," said Gonzales,
who once worked at a stock brokerage firm.
Before entering River Region for treatment,
he said, he stole from his family and friends
to help support his up to $100 a day crack
habit.
"It had to be God helping me," Gonzales,
who was never arrested, said about his deci-
sion to enter treatment again. "Crack will
reduce you to nothing." -

useful to dealers, are now so common among
ghetto teenagers that Los Angeles public
schools have banned them.
Some gang veterans say the cocaine trade
in south-central L.A. is controlled by 15 to
20 O.G.'s-an assessment that is shared by
knowledgeable. law-enforcement officials.
Deputy Chief Levant, who commands a new
formed LAPD unit that specializes in major
drug traffickers among the street gangs,
says 75 to 100 gangs are now actively in-
volved in cocaine distribution. Some of
these groups, he says, now have sales total-
ling up to $1 million a week. "There is a link
between the South Americans and the
street gangs," Levant says.
That link-the strategic nexus between
the Colombian cocaine cartel and street-
level distribution in the United States-is
becoming increasingly visible to investiga-
tors in southern California and elsewhere.
There is little question that some black drug
traffickers have now established direct rela-
tionships with top-level Colombian smug-
glers. According to Los Angeles County offi-
cials, the Colombians are even willing to sell
drugs to O.G.'s and rollers on the consign-
ment basis, a strong indicator of the cartel's
trust. One example of the increasingly close
connection between the Colombians and the
ghetto dealers, was uncovered during Oper-
ation Pisces II, a two-year investigation run
jointly by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Ad-
ministration and State and local authorities
in California and Florida. Pisces II was a
money-laundering sting aimed at identifying
both smugglers and dealers. In a videotaped

money "laundry," the Colombians admir-
ingly described a black trafficker in south
Florida. "That s.o.b, he just ordered and or-
dered; it was hard to keep him stocked," one
smuggler exclaimed.. "Those blacks are
really the best ones," the second smuggler
agreed.
East and West: There is equally little
question that some of the more aggressive
big-city gangs have begun to spread the
drug trade into the heartland. Police from
Denver to Vancouver report that Los Ange-
les gangs are moving in to establish branch
operations selling rock cocaine. In Atlanta,
Savannah and Montgomery, Ala., authori-
ties say the Miami Boys are following the
same expansionary pattern. Chicago gangs
have appeared in Milwaukee, Minneapolis
and Racine, Wis., and the Jamaican posses
seem to be organizing crack outlets almost
everywhere. Kansas City authorities recent-
ly managed to break a Jamaican posse that
began importing crack from its East Coast
base sometime in 1985; the posse was oper-
ating 75 crack houses that grossed $400,000
a day. After that success, however, Kansas
City was invaded from the West Coast as
well. In February four members of an L.A.-
based Bloods gang were indicted for selling
cocaine, and investigators say they have
identified 15 L.A. gang members in their
city. "This is the first time we've seen an
American gang move into town," says U.S.
Attorney Robert Larsen. "They're great en-
trepreneurs."
The big-city boys have two things going
for them. First, they are usually able to buy
top-quality cocaine directly from major
smugglers at wholesale prices-as little as
$10,000 per kilo. The second is that they are
better armed and far more violent than the
gangs or drug rings they encounter in small-
er cities. As a result, they can compete suc-
cessfully on price and quality-and if those
classic business advantages are insufficient
to establish a beachhead, they intimidate
the competition with mayhem and murder.
In Atlanta, says police Lt. John Woodward,
the invading Miami Boys demonstrated the
attitude that "we're bad and we'll prove it to
you ... [they'll] walk up to [their competi-
tors] and just kill 'em. It's not, 'I'm going to
out-macho you.' It's 'I'm going to kill you'."
The result, Woodward says, was 13 homi-
cides In 1987.
Enriched by their drug profits, big-city
gangs can now easily afford the overhead of
far-flung operations. The gang may send a
scout-often a younger member-to test the
market in the target city. If the first expedi-
tion pans out, a larger group will follow to
rent a ghetto apartment as a stash house
for volume sales. Woodward says the look-
outs and runners are often local. Body-
guards may be either locals or out-of-
towners. But the higher-ups, who control
the stash and count the money, are always
members of the invading gang. The amount
of cocaine involved, Woodward also says,
need not be large-a kilo or so every few
days. Bring in "one kilo and you've got
10,000 bags of crack, and that will supply
quite a few little housing areas for a few
days," he says. "You're talking about $25 a
bag, or $250,000 per kilo. The kilo costs (the
Miami Boys] $10,000 to $12,000 in Miami, so
there is a great, great profit margin here."
The posses: Although there is still some
controversy over just how well organized
the American drug gangs are, no one doubts
that the Jamaican posses are as disciplined
as they are violent. Many members are be-
lieved to be illegal aliens, and the groups
themselves are usually based in Jamaican-
immigrant communities on the East Coast-
New York, Miami, Washington, D.C., among
others. But their nationwide spread over the
past several years has been staggering. The
posses are major factors in the crack trade
in most East Coast cities. They are also
active in Dallas and Houston, in cities across
the Midwest and, remarkably enough, they
have recently been spotted in Anchorage,
Alaska. Like most American drug gangs, the
Jamaicans are known to hire local helpers
when they open a crack house in a new city.
But the core group is always from the
island, and no outsiders are allowed to pene-
trate the upper echelons of the ring.
U.S. lawmen say many of the posses have
their roots in the slums around Kingston,
Jamaica. Their names reflect that genealo-
gy. The Riverton City posse is named after
a Kingston neighborhood, and so are the
Maverly and Waterhouse posses. (The Ja-
maicans call themselves posses after the
armed bands in American Westerns.) Some,
like the Shower and Spangler gangs, claim
vague affiliations with Jamaican political
parties: the Spangler posse aligns itself with
the People's National Party of former prime
minister Michael Manley, while the Show-
ers identify with the Jamaican Labor Party
of current Prime Minister Edward Seaga.
Jamaican politicians, however, disavow any
connection to the groups.
In reality, must posses were probably
marijuana-smuggling rings in Jamaica. But
the crack explosion of the 1980s offers un-
limited profits to the posses just as it does
to American gangs, and Jamaicans have
been even quicker than the American gangs
to exploit the opportunity. South Florida,
with its Colombian drug connections, is the
adopted home for an estimated 1,000 posse
members. The Shower and Spangler posses
are the two main groups, and some lawmen
say all other gangs are offshoots of these
two. The lesser posses have exotic names
like Dog, Jungle and Okra Slime. One
group, the Jungle Lites, is reputed to be
expert in guerrilla-warfare tactics, and
police suspect they may have received mili-
tary training in Cuba.
Reggae and death: But every posse has a
fearful reputation for violence. Nationwide,
according to U.S. experts, the Jamaican
gangs have been linked to 800 murders, in-
cluding more than 350 last year alone. Posse
gunmen are known to prefer shooting their
victims in public, and reggae clubs in major
cities have a well-deserved reputation for
frequent homicides. A dispute between
posse members at a raggae club in Houston
last October led to a fatal shooting in front
of nearly 100 witnesses, and New York
police report that homicides occur almost
weekly at a popular Brooklyn nightspot
known as the Love People disco. Torture
and maimings are posse trademarks as well.
"They don't mind shooting people. We've
had numerous cases of Jamaicans who were
shot in the knee or leg," says Dallas police
investigator Charles Storey. "A lot of
groups have a potential for violence, but
[the Jamaicans] demonstrate it daily."
Dallas police say Jamaicans were linked to
35 homicides in 1987 and 10 to 12 so far this
year.
The explosive growth of the drug gangs
nationwide is putting enormous pressure on
police all across the country. Cocaine and
heroin traffickers are now deeply en-
trenched in the ghettos of many larger
cities, and drug profits are a powerful incen-
tive to. hundreds of thousands of unem-
ployed black and Hispanic teenagers. In ad-
dition, many gang members are increasingly
expert in exploiting loopholes in the law. As
a result, California and New York authori-
ties are considering new anti-gang legisla-
tion patterned after the federal RICO
(Racketeer-Influenced Corrupt Organiza-
tion) law; such state RICO statutes will
enable prosecutors to seek longer prison
terms for gang leaders convicted on other
charges. Officials in cities like New York,
San Francisco and Washington, D.C.-to say
nothing of Los Angeles-are also being
forced to reorganize their police depart-
ments to meet the threat of drugs, which
means cutting back on manpower for other
crimes. "We need more resources-people
and equipment," says Frank Storey, the
FBI's chief drug official. "Resources are the
most critical problem at the federal, state
and local level."
Outmanned, outgunned and outspent, the
cops are fighting back as best they can.
There is nothing they can do to control the
spread of weapons like Uzis and AK-47s. As
long as such guns have been adapted to fire
only on semiautomatic-a procedure that is
readily reversed by outlaw gunsmiths-the
sales are wholly legal under federal law. Of-
ficers who must deal with the gangs routine-
ly wear armored vests (which often will not
stop an assault-rifle round), and many de-
partments now equip all their officers'with
automatic pistols to increase their firepow-
er. But ghetto busts are extremely danger-
ous anyway: in Boston, for example, Police
Lt. Det. Mel Ahearn has trained a special
"Jamaican entry squad" to take on the
posses in their strongholds.
There is every indication, meanwhile, that
the gang/drug problem will get worse. If the
analogy to Prohibition is accurate, the
gangs have only begun to consolidate their
hold on drug trafficking-and given their
growth so far, it seems reasonable to expect
that they, like the Mafia before them, will
become even more skillful in evading law en-
forcement. The supply of smuggled drugs-
Asian heroin, Mexican heroin and cocaine
most of all-seems almost limitless. At the
same time, the federal government, which
has scattered the responsibility for combat-
ing drugs among dozens of different agen-
cies, seems to. lack a coordinated national
strategy. Who's running the war, America's
hard-pressed cops are asking-and when are
the good guys finally going to win?

March 29, 1988 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE
A JAMAICAN INVASION IN WEST VIRGINIA
With its tidy clapboard houses and neat
apple and peach orchards on land George
Washington surveyed centuries ago, Mar-
tinsburg, W.Va. (population: 13,000), seems
far from the mean streets normally pa-
trolled by drug gangs. But over the last
three years, an invasion of Jamaican drug
dealers' has turned the home of the Moun-_
tain State Apple Harvest Festival into a
mecca for cocaine.
The Jamaicans first arrived in Martins-
burg as migrant workers to pick apples and
peaches at harvest time, but many stayed
on to peddle coke and crack. Hundreds
squeezed into small apartments in a poor
neighborhood called "the Hill" and trans-
formed several blocks near the center of
town into an open-air drug supermarket.
Supplied by couriers shuttling between Ja-
maican gangs in Washington, Miami and
New York, as many as 50 dealers could be
found brazenly hawking dope in broad day-
light, just three blocks from the police sta-
tion. At times business was so brisk that
intersections were clogged with traffic;
many cars bore out-of-state license plates.
The customers "were all ethnic groups, age
groups and every profession," says police
chief Jack Strobridge. "They came riding up
on skateboards, on bikes, in Mercedes-Benz
cars, in pickup trucks." Stores in the region
mysteriously sold out of vitamin B; police
soon figured out that dealers were using it
to "cut" the cocaine. Then the Jamaicans
introduced crack-and started a run on plas-
tic food-storage bags used to package the
drug.
Martinsburg's 28-man police force carried
out small raids but were overwhelmed by
the dealers. In a region where one or two
murders per year was the norm, 20 homi-
cides, all drug related, occurred in 18
months as rival dealers fought for control.
Cases of venereal disease shot up as prosti-
tutes imported by the dealers worked the
streets. At local schools, students hired as
drug couriers strutted around in expensive
Nike jogging suits and gold chains, intimi-
dating classmates and teachers. A police
raid of a Jamaican dealer's house turned up
crude photographs of a former homecoming
queen posing half nude, pieces of crack
lying about her. According to law-enforce-
ment authorities, she later gave birth to a
baby fathered by the dealer.
Needles and knives: Residents were virtu-
ally besieged in their homes. Theresa Sham-
burg was unable to leave her driveway with-
out being offered "crack, cocaine or reefer"
by pushers. Discarded needles and knives
littered her front yard. She called police but
they were unable to drive away the dealers.
One night, when the Jamaicans outside
became particularly raucous, Shamburg
woke to see her husband crouched with a
shotgun in one hand and a pistol in the
other, grimly waiting for a break-in.
Under pressure from the community, local
police asked the federal authorities for help.
In fall 1986 some 200 agents from a special
federal drug task force and local police
raided 26 drug dens, arresting 35 dealers and
seizing a cache of high-powered weapons.
Police also found a "hit list" with the names
of local judges and law-enforcement offi-
cials. The suspects arrested insisted the
names were targeted only for a mystical
curse by Jamaican witch doctors. Even so,
three county magistrates began carrying
guns for self-protection.
Street action: The raid pushed the most
blatant dealers off the streets-at least for a
while. Much of the street action moved
down the road to Charles Town, 16 miles
away. But many Jamaican dealers have kept
up a flourishing underground trade in Mar-
tinsburg. On warm days, Theresa Shamburg
once again sees dealers congregating across
the street. The Shamburgs will not wait to
see what happens next. After three years of
trying, they have finally found an out-of-
town buyer for their home. They are
moving . to a house in the country, but
Shamburg suspects there is. no escape. She
says 'T really don't think it's safe anywhere
anymore."
Mr. GRAHAM. Mr. President, final-
ly I ask unanimous consent to join
Senators D'AMATO, DECONCINI, and
others of legislation providing for the
death penalty for those who kill law
enforcement officials during the com-
mission of a drug-related crime.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. With-
out objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. HATCH. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent that I be listed as
a cosponsor on the drug bill.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. With-
out objection, it is so ordered.
? Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, I
am pleased to join Senator DECONcINI
as an original cosponsor of the Omni-
bus Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988.
We must acknowledge that the drug
peddlers of this Nation and the world
have declared war on the youth of
America. The human cost of the
plague of drugs is enormous in lost
human potential. Drug abuse is a
scourge and disgrace to our Nation.
We must fight back. We have to
fight the war against drugs on all
fronts: On the border, on the high
seas, in the air, in our schools, in our
neighborhoods.
The drug problem in American con-
tinues. I cannot stress the gravity of
this matter enough. Drugs are destroy-
ing the minds and killing the people
that use them. The number of mur-
ders and crimes related to drug traf-
ficking continues to escalate.
I heard an alarming statistic from
the Commissioner of the Customs
Service at a hearing in my State this
past summer. He did a simple calcula-
tion just based on the number of indi-
viduals who died consuming drugs
versus the amount of cocaine con-
sumed in this country. It shows that
for every 150 pounds of cocaine con-
sumed, one American dies. This does
not even include the deaths involved
in the trade-just the deaths based on
the consumption of this one drug, co-
caine. We are paying a high price in
this country: The lives of our people.
As we fight this war against drugs,
the nefarious suppliers in other coun-
tries are becoming increasingly cagey
in subverting our efforts. We must
beat them at their own game. In order
to win this war, we must bring all the
resources we have to bear on this
problem.
Two years ago, many of us in the
Senate banded together to provide an
effective arsenal of weapons to fight
this war against the drug merchants.
Our efforts have yielded results. We
are doing a better job-seizures are up,
but production is up, too. We are only
keeping pace'with the drug producers
and traffickers.
S 2889
We have launched a war and a cru-
sade, but we are just holding our own.
More needs to do done. We need to
attack drug abuse and drug trafficking
on every front. The Anti-Drug Abuse
Act of 1986 started the momentum
and now we need to continue it.
.This is a war we cannot afford to
lose, for this is a war over the minds
and bodies of an-entire generation of
,our young people.
The Omnibus Anti-Drug Abuse Act
contains new approaches to address
both the supply. and demand sides of
the narcotics problem.
On the supply side of the problem,
this bill provides grants for State and
local narcotics control programs, con-
struction of new jails, and funds for an
international eradication program for
drug-producing countries.
On the demand side, the bill address-
es the problem by providing funds for
treatment. programs and facilities.
I am really distressed to hear that
people literally have to get on a wait-
ing list to get into drug treatment pro-
grams. One of the strengths of this
bill is the help it will provide to State
and local governments to address the
treatment side of the problem.
The price of our effort will. be high,
but. the stakes are high. But we must
ask ourselves, can we afford to do less?
I think not. Therefore, I am support-
ing this bill and hope we can enact
into law soon, for every day we waste,
more young people are lost to drugs.?
Mr. HATFIELD. Mr. President, I am
pleased to join many of my colleagues
as an original cosponsor of the Omni-
bus Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. The
substantial number of Senators who
have cosponsored this bill, Republi-
cans and Democrats alike, demon-
strates that the Senate recognizes that
illicit drugs and drug abuse have
become this decade's most severe do-
mestic and international social prob-
lem. During the past 8 years, the sheer
magnitude of this crisis has become so
great that no one can escape its conse-
quences. Every aspect of our world is
affected by illegal drugs, from the con-
duct of foreign relations to the safety
of the streets in Portland, OR.
As the General Accounting Office
recently reported, illegal drugs are
costing the Nation tens of billions of
dollars a year in lost wages, law en-
forcement expenses and treatment. In-
capable of calculation are the enor-
mous costs to our citizens and commu-
nities created by family strife, pain,
suicide, violence, and suffering caused
by narcotics and drug abuse.
Mr. President, we are all too familiar
with these alarming national statistics.
Not as readily known, however, is the
fact that drug trade and drug abuse
are no longer "big city" problems.
Cities such as Bend, Salem, Medford,
and Portland, OR, have joined the
ranks of New York, Washington, DC.
Miami, Chicago, and Los Angeles as
communities with serious drug prob-
lems.

S 2890 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD -- SENATE
In my home State of Oregon, the
Interstate-5 corridor, the major . West
Coast interstate connecting Canada,
Washington, Oregon, California, and
Mexico, has become a major pipeline
for the transportation of illicit drugs.
Oregon is now thought to be the Na-
tion's leading manufacturer of meth-
amphetamine and the second largest
producer of marijuana. My State's
greatest asset-its attractiveness as a
place to live and raise a family-is in
danger of being tarnished unless we
get the drug problem under control.
Oregon has developed a dynamic part-
nership between the Federal and State
government in an effort to revitalize
the local economy. That will be time
and' money down the drain if we fail to
eradicate this cancer of drug abuse
and drug trafficking from our midst.
This bill will assist States like
Oregon that supply drugs to other
parts of the country in shattering the
myth that Latin America is the exclu-
sive origin of our drug problems. Drug
interdiction at the source means drug
interdiction in Latin America, but it
also means drug interdiction in
Oregon and other prime drug manu-
facturing targets in the United States.
The effort being launched today by
the introduction of this bill takes a
comprehensive approach on an inter-
national, national, and local level by
addressing both the -supply and
demand sides of the drug problem.
The bill also provides incentives for in-
creased cooperation between local,
State, and Federal agencies in the war
against drugs. Addressed in the bill are
such things as drug enforcement and
personnel enhancement, international
narcotics control and assistance to for-
eign countries, drug interdiction im-
provement, demand reduction through
treatment and rehabilitation, research
and development, and enforcement
training.
A bill of this scope and size inevita-
bly has provisions that are controver-
sial. The total expense of this package
in an age of budget deficits and provi-
sions dealing with new prison con-
struction, for example, are troubling
to me. No one expects the Congress to
adopt this bill in its entirety. As we
proceed, however, we can make adjust-
ments and amendments to the bill
which will make it even better. Intro-
duction of this legislation marks the
beginning of a congressional effort to
develop an effective national policy to
combat this epidemic. I will be work-
ing with the other sponsors of the bill
and with members of the Appropria-
tions Committee to accomplish this
goal.
? Mr. SARBANES. Mr. President, I
am pleased to join as an original co-
sponsor of legislation being introduced
today, the Omnibus Anti-Drug Abuse
Act of 1988. The legislation is a broad
comprehensive measure that seeks to
address the very serious problem of
drug abuse and drug trafficking that
threatens so many of our communities
and our citizens. In fact, it is a prob-
lem that is so pervasive that it threat-
ens the very fabric of our society.
This legislation is a much needed
continuation of the Anti-Drug Abuse
Act of 1986, which I supported and
which passed the Senate by an over-
whelming margin in the 99th Con-
gress. It continues the fight against
drug abuse and the harmful effect
that drug trafficking has on our coun-
try. The bill attempts, in a comprehen-
sive way, to address both the demand
and supply side of the problem, and to
significantly reduce both. It includes
provisions to enable us to fight the
drug menace at the local, State, and
Federal level, and at our borders.
I am pleased to see that a major em-
phasis is on providing resources to our
local and State law enforcement' agen-
cies to combat the problem where it is
really felt-in our neighborhoods and
communities. In fact, just after the ad-
ministration's budget for fiscal year
1989 was presented to Congress, the
the Governor of Maryland and the
Mayor of Baltimore alerted me to
their deep concerns that no funds
were included in the President's
budget for antidrug law enforcement
or for general law enforcement activi-
ties at the local and State level. The
State of Maryland estimates that one
out of five inmates enters the Mary-
land Division of Corrections on a drug-
related conviction. In addition, an esti-
mated 50 percent of the inmates in our
State have some kind of drug or alco-
hol related problem. The bill being in-
troduced today provides a block grant
to State and local governments for
which they must outline how they will
combat the drug problem using law
enforcement, education, and demand
reduction.
There are also several major provi-
sions in the legislation aimed at com-
bating the flow of drugs into this
country. First, the bill includes impor-
tant initiatives to encourage drug
source countries, especially in Latin
America, to eradicate their illicit drug
crops over a 3-year period. Second,
there is a significant enhancement of
Federal drug enforcement personnel
and operations money for the Drug
Enforcement Administration, Customs
Service, Border Patrol, and the Coast
Guard. These -agencies are absolutely
vital in terms of drug interdiction. I
think it is particularly significant that
funds and personnel are being recom-
mended for the Coast Guard when
just a short time ago it was announced
that drug interdiction efforts would be
reduced by 55 percent and a number
of important Coast Guard operations
would be closed, including the Curtis
Bay Coast Guard Yard in Baltimore.
The Omnibus Anti-Drug Abuse Act
of 1988 also includes much needed
funds for drug and alcohol abuse
treatment and rehabilitation, educa-
tion for our schools and communities,
and training for antidrug enforcement
personnel. Mr. President, this is a com-
prehensive bill that merits thorough
and expeditious consideration by the
March 23, 1988
Senate. It is a serious and significant
effort to address the drug problems in
our country.*

S. 2206. A bill to amend the Con-

the imposition of the death penalty
for the intentional killing of a law en-
forcement officer and for certain con-
tinuing criminal enterprise drug of-
fenses; to the Committee on the Judi-
ciary.
IMPOSITION OF DEATH PENALTY FOR KILLING OF
LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND CERTAIN
CONTINUING CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE DRUG OF-
FENSES
Mr. D'AMATO. Mr.. President, I
commend my colleague from Arizona,
Senator DECONCINI, for his untiring
efforts to bring to this point what I
consider to be this Nation's most im-
portant undertaking.. That is, to see to
it that we pass legislation comprehen-
sive in nature and to fund that legisla-
tion to undertake a real war against
drugs. To date, we have heard many
proclaim that they want to take on
this crusade. There simply has not
-been enough action. There has been
great rhetoric, particularly before po-
litical campaigns, but little in the way
of action. We have heard a great deal
of concern about turf, about jurisdic-
tion, about who will get to do what.
However, we have heard little as it re-
lates to what is taking place on our
streets, in our neighborhoods and even
less as to the resulting loss of domestic
tranquility.
Mr. President, one need simply look
at Panama today to see this as an ex-
ample of what the narcotics trade can
and has done. Narco-militarism, which
is spreading in Latin America, is a far
greater threat, in my view, to our Na-
tion's stability and the stability of this
hemisphere than all of the Sandinis-
tas. But I am concerned as it relates to
that issue as well.
This bill, Mr. President, provides for
capital punishment in two cases. First,
for the drug kingpin who intentionally
murders or orders a murder as part of
a continuing criminal drug enterprise.
Second, for the intentional killing of a
policeman or other Federal, State, or
local law enforcement officer as part
of a continuing criminal drug- enter-
prise.
We have just seen the most incredi-
ble circumstance take place, one that
no one ever would have believed. We
have seen the intentional killing of a-
22-year-old law enforcement officer,
New York Police Officer Edward
Byrne, simply because the drug orga-
nization wanted to demonstrate that
they could and would kill a police offi-

cer. This organization was outraged at
being harassed because some of their
members are being imprisoned for
drug dealing. This murder is some-
thing that no one could have ever con-
jured or believed would have taken
place.
Mr. President, I again pay tribute to
my colleague, Senator DECONCINI, for
his leadership in this effort, for his
tireless work and the work of his staff.
There is a lot more that can and
should be said. I intend to do that at a
later date, but I think it is now time
for action and for people of all parties
and all political persuasion to come to-
gether to meet the expectations of the
American public by a first step in
terms of enacting and funding this leg-
islation.
THE ANTI-DRUG ABUSE ACT OF 1988
The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988
provides more than $2 billion over the
President's fiscal year 1988 budget re-
quest to attack both the supply of, and
demand for, drugs.
This bill contains 200 pages of initia-
tives to attack the many parts of this
grave threat.
These include:
DEMAND REDUCTION: TREATMENT
Bill provides $485 million over the
President's budget next year for alco-
hol and drug abuse treatment block
grants.
A $50 million increase for the alco-
hol, drug abuse and mental health
block grant, raising it from $508 mil-
lion to $558 million; and
A $435 million increase for the emer-
gency drug treatment block grant,
raising it from $165 million to $600
million.
For the first time, our bill commits
the Federal Government to help fund,
drug treatment center construction
and renovation on a large scale. It is
estimated that $60 million is needed to
build enough treatment centers to add
4,000 beds. Our bill permits up to $240
million for this purpose in fiscal year
1989. This would add 16,000 treatment
beds nationwide.
DEMAND REDUCTION: DRUG PREVENTION
Our bill increases the President's
drug education budget from $250 mil-
lion to $300 million,* a $50 million in-
crease in fiscal year 1989. It also tight-
ens controls so that school districts
will have to set goals for their pro-
grams, evaluate-their success and fail-
ure, and report on their efforts to cor-
rect program weaknesses.
SUPPLY REDUCTION.. DOMESTIC LAW ENFORCE-
MENT: STATE AND LOCAL DRUG ENFORCEMENT
ASSISTANCE
Our bill rescues the State and local
drug enforcement assistance program
from extinction. It provides $250 mil-
lion in fiscal year 1989; $500 million in
fiscal year 1990; and $750 million in
1991.
To ensure the quickest possible de-
livery of drug enforcement assistance
funds to cities with populations over
500,000, our bill requires the States to
make funds available to those cities
within 30 days of Justice Department
approval of a State's application.
FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT BUDGETS ARE
INCREASED BY $800 MILLION
Coast Guard is transferred back to
the Department of of the Treasury;
$200 million for 4 new Federal prisons;
expedited deportation of criminal
aliens.
SUPPLY REDUCTION: INTERNATIONAL EFFORTS-
INTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCE
This bill provides $600 million over 3
years for a new - economic incentive
program to encourage drug source
countries-like Bolivia, Peru, and Co-
lombia-to eradicate 15 percent of
their drug crops in the first year, and
40 percent over a 3-year period.
There is now no such incentive pro-
gram. Our bill does not offer a "give-
away." To qualify for this assistance, a
country has to earn it. It has to eradi-
cate drug crops on a large scale.
EXAMPLE OF BOLIVIA
In 1987, Bolovia had 40,000 metric
acres of coca under cultivation. To _
qualify for aid under our plan, Bolivia
would have to eradicate 6,000 metric
acres next year. State Department fig-
ures indicate that our current strategy
is clearly not working: coca cultivation
in Bolivia is expected to increase by
4,000 metric acres next year.
It is time for a change.
I call on the House and Senate lead-
ership to take up this drug bill at the
earliest opportunity. This bill hits
every important aspect of the anti-
drug effort and carefully allocates re-
sources between the supply and
demand sides of the drug problems. It
must be passed and enacted into law!
Mr. President, I ask unanimous con-
sent that the bill be printed in the
RECORD.
There being no objection, the bill
was ordered to be printed in the
RECORD, as follows:
S. 2206

SEC. 102. PROCEDURE APPLICABLE WITH RESPECT
TO THE DEATH PENALTY.
Section 408 of the Controlled Substances
Act (22 U.S.C. 848) is amended by adding at
the end the following:
DEATH PENALTY
"(f) A person shall be subjected to the
penalty of death for any offense under this
section only if a hearing is held in accord-
ance with this section.
"NOTICE BY THE GOVERNMENT IN DEATH
PENALTY CASES
"(g)(1) Whenever the Government intends
to seek the death penalty for an offense
under this section for which one of the sen-
tences provided is death, the attorney for
the Government, a reasonable time before
trial or acceptance by the court of a plea of
guilty, shall sign and file with the court,
and serve upon the defendant, a notice-
"(A) that tha Government in the event of
conviction will seek the sentence of death;
and
"(B) setting forth the aggravating factors
which the Government will seek to prove as
the basis for the death penalty.
"(2) The court may permit the attorney
for the Government to amend this notice
for good cause shown.
"HEARING BEFORE COURT OR JURY
"(h)(1) When the attorney for the Gov-
ernment has filed a notice as required under
subsection (f) and the defendant is found
guilty of or pleads guilty to an offense
under subsection (c), the judge who presid-
ed at the trial or before whom the guilty
plea was entered, or any other judge if the
judge who presided at the trial or before
whom the guilty plea was entered is unavail-
able, shall conduct a separate sentencing
hearing to determine the punishment to be
imposed. The hearing shall be conducted-
"(A) before the jury which determined
the defendant's guilt;
"(B) before a jury impaneled for the pur-
pose of the hearing if-
"(i) the defendant was convicted upon a
plea of guilty;
"(ii) the defendant was convicted after a
trial before the court sitting without a jury;
"(iii) the jury which determined the de-
fendant's guilt has been discharged for good
cause; or
"(iv) after initial imposition of a sentence
under this section, redetermination of the
sentence under this section is necessary; or
"(C) before the court alone, upon the
motion of the defendant and with the ap-
proval of the Government.
"(2) A jury impaneled pursuant to para-
graph t 1)(B) 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
any number less than 12.
"PROOF OF AGGRAVATING AND MITIGATING
FACTORS
"(i) Notwithstanding rule 32(c) of the Fed-
eral Rules of Criminal Procedure, when a
defendant is found guilty of or pleads guilty
to an offense under subsection (c), no pre-
sentence report shall be prepared. In the
sentencing hearing, information may be pre-
sented as to any matter relevant to the sen-
tence and shall include matters relating to
any of the aggravating or mitigating factors
set forth in subsections (1) and (m), or any
other mitigating factor. Where information

is presented relating to any of the aggravat-
ing factors set forth in subsection (in), infor-
mation may be presented relating to any
other aggravating factor. Information pre-
sented may include the trial transcript and
exhibits if the hearing is held before a jury
or judge not present during the trial. Any
other information relevant to such mitigat-
ing or aggravating factors may be presented
by either the Government of the defendant,
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 substan-
tially outweighed by the danger of unfair
prejudice, confusion of the issues, or mis-
leading 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 infor-
mation to establish the existence of any of
the aggravating or mitigating factors, and as
to appropriateness in that 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 established
beyond a reasonable doubt. The burden of
establishing the existence of any mitigating
factor is on the defendant, and is not satis-
fied unless established by a preponderance
of the information.
"RETURN OF FINDINGS
"(j) The jury, or if there is no jury, the
court, shall consider all the information re-
ceived during the hearing. It shall return
special findings identifying any mitigating
factors, and any aggravating factors set
forth in subsection (1) or (m), found to exist.
If one of the aggravating factors set forth in
subsection (m)(1) and another of the aggra-
vating factors set forth in paragraphs (2)
through (7) of subsection (m) is found to
exist, a special finding Identifying any other
aggravating factor may be returned. A find-
Ing of such a factor by a jury shall be made
by unanimous vote. If an aggravating factor
set forth in subsection (m)(1) is not found to
exist or an aggravating factor set forth in
subsection (m)(1) is found to exist but no
other aggravating factor set forth in subsec-
tion (m) is found to exist, the court shall
impose a sentence, other than death, au-
thorized by law. If an aggravating factor set
forth in subsection (m)(1) and one or more
of the other aggravating factors set forth in
subsection (in) are found to exist, the jury,
or if there is no jury, the court, shall then
consider whether the aggravating factor or
factors found to exist sufficiently outweigh
any mitigating factor or factors found to
exist, or in the absence of mitigating fac-
tors, whether the aggravating factors are
themselves 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 return a finding as to
whether a sentence of death is justified.
"IMPOSITION OF SENTENCE
"(k) Upon a finding that a sentence of
death is justified, the court shall sentence
the defendant to death. Otherwise the court
shall impose a sentence, other than death,
authorized by law.
"MITIGATING FACTORS
"(1) In determining whether a sentence of
death is to be imposed on a defendant, the
following mitigating factors shall be consid-
ered by are not exclusive:
"(1) The defendant was less than 18 years
of age at the time of the crime.
"(2) The defendant's capacity to appreci-
ate the wrongfulness of his conduct or to
conform his conduct to the requirements of
law was significantly impaired, but not so
impaired as to constitute a defense to the
charge. _
"(3) The defendant was under unusual
and substantial duress, although not such
duress as constitutes a defense to the
charge.
"(4) The defendant is punishable as a
principal (as defined in section 2(a) of title
18 of the United States Code) in the of-
fense, which was committed by another, but
the defendant's participation was relatively
minor, although not so minor as to consti-
tute a defense to the charge.
"(5) The defendant could not reasonably
have foreseen that his conduct in the course
of the commission of murder, or other of-
fense resulting in death for which the de-
fendant was convicted, would cause, or
would create a grave risk of causing, death
to any person.
"AGGRAVATING FACTORS FOR HOMICIDE
"(m) If the defendant is found guilty of or
pleads guilty to an offense under subsection
(c), the following aggravating factors shall
be considered but are not exclusive:
"(1) The defendant-
"(A) intentionally killed the victim;
"(B) intentionally inflicted serious bodily
injury which resulted in the death of the
victim;
"(C) intentionally engaged in conduct in-
tending that the victim be , killed or that
lethal force be employed against the victim,
which resulted in the-death of the victim.
"(D) intentionally engaged in conduct
which-
"(I) the defendant knew would create a
grave risk or death to a person, other than
one of the participants in the offense; and
"(ii) resulted in the death of the victim.
"(2) The defendant has been convicted of
another Federal offense, or a State offense
resulting in the death of a person, for which
a sentence of life imprisonment or a sen-
tence of death was authorized by statute.
"(3) The defendant has previously been
convicted of two or more State or Federal
offenses punishable by a term of imprison-
ment of more than one year, committed on
different occasions, involving the infliction
of, or attempted infliction of, serious bodily
injury upon another person.
"(4) The defendant has previously been
convicted of two or more State or Federal
offenses punishable by a term of imprison-
ment of more than one year, committed on
different occasions, involving the distribu-
tion of a controlled substance.,
"(5) In the commission of the offense or in
escaping apprehension for a violation of
subsection (c), the defendant knowingly cre-
ated a grave risk of death to one or more
persons in addition to the victims of the of-
fense.
"(6) The violation of this chapter In rela-
tion to which the conduct described in sub-
section (c) occurred was a violation of sec-
tion 405.
"(7) The defendant committed the offense
in an especially heinous, cruel, or depraved
manner.
"INSTRUCTION TO JURY ON RIGHT OF THE DE-
FENDANT TO JUSTICE WITHOUT DISCRIMINA-
TION
"(n) In any hearing held before a jury
under this section, the court shall instruct
the jury that in its consideration of whether
the sentence of death is justified it shall not
consider the race, color, national origin,
creed, or sex of the defendant. The jury
shall return to the court a certificate signed
by each juror that consideration of race,
color, national origin, creed, or sex of the
March 29, 1988
defendant was not involved in reaching his
or her Individual decision.
"SENTENCING IN CAPITAL CASES IN WHICH
DEATH- PENALTY IS NOT SOUGHT OR IMPOSED
"(o) If a person is convicted for an offense
under subsection (c) and the court does not
impose the penalty of death, the court may
impose a sentence of life imprisonment
without the possibility of parole.
"APPEAL IN CAPITAL CASES
"(p)(1) In any case in which the sentence
of death is imposed under this section, the
sentence of death shall be subject to review
by the court of appeals upon appeal by the
defendant. Notice of appeal must be filed
within the time prescribed for appeal of
judgment in section 2107 of title 28 of the
United States Code. An appeal under this
section may be consolidated with an appeal
of the judgment of conviction. Such review
shall have priority over all other cases.
"(2) On review of the sentence, the court
of appeals shall consider the record, the evi-
dence submitted during the trial, the infor-
mation submitted during the sentencing
hearing, the procedures employed in the
sentencing hearing, and the special findings
returned under this section.
"(3) The court shall affirm the sentence if
it determines that-
"(A) the sentence of death was not im-
posed under the influence of passion, preju-
dice, or any other arbitrary factor; and
"(B) the information supports the special
finding of the existence of every aggravat-
ing factor upon which the sentence was
based, together with or the failure to find-
ing any mitigating factors as set forth or al-
lowed in this section.
In all other cases the court shall remand
the case for reconsideration under this sec-
tion. The court of appeals shall state in
writing the reasons for its disposition of the
review of the sentence.".
Mr. DECONCINI. Mr. President, I
thank the Senator from New York for
his leadership in this area.
Mr. President, moments ago, I intro-
duced along with my good friend and
colleague Senator D'AMATO, the Anti-
Drug Abuse Act of 1988. In order to
further strengthen our law-enforce-
ment efforts against those who deal in
illegal drugs, I rise in support of the
amendment Senator D'AMATo has in-
troduced that will provide the kind of
deterrent that I believe would truly
send a message to drug traffickers and
drug dealers-the United States takes
this problem seriously, and we are
ready to deal with it in a serious
manner.
The D'Amato amendment would
amend the Controlled Substances Act
to provide for the imposition of the
death penalty for drug-related mur-
ders and for the intentional killing of
a law-enforcement officer as part of a
criminal drug enterprise.
Those who deal in illicit drugs have
demonstrated a total disregard for
human life. The Jamaican gangs, who
call themselves "posses", taken from
the old wild west movies, have taken
control of the "crack" trade in cities
across the country. They are better '
armed than the police-and it is not
unusual for them to be armed with
AK-47's or UZIS. Law enforcement ex-
perts believe they have been responsi-

ble for at least 600 murders in the last
3 years.
Let me provide an example from Ari-
zona of the brutality and ruthlessness
of those who deal in drugs. Witnesses
recently testified in Tucson that a 17-
year-old Tucson High School student
was murdered because he owed his al-
leged killer $2 million and 4 kilos of
cocaine. The 18-year-old suspect in the
case told detectives that he put a wire
around the victim's neck and strangled
him while two other subjects beat
him.
Two years ago when the Senate was
working on the Anti-Drug Abuse Act
of 1986, the Senate refused to vote di-
rectly on the death penalty amend-
ment for drug traffickers and instead
used a procedural vote to sidestep the
issue. I voted against tabling the death
penalty amendment 2 years ago and I
believe the argument in favor of this
kind of deterrent is stronger than
ever.
The American people have consist-
ently demonstrated in opinion polls
that they strongly support the death
penalty. More than 80 percent of my
constituents in Arizona favor the
death penalty. Some argue that the
death penalty should not be imple-
mented because of the possibility of
mistake. I find this argument to be un-
convincing in light of the extensive
procedural safeguards for capital de-
fendants.
A chronology of the legal procedures
required and available to these defend-
ants would convince any reasonable
person that the system has done ev-
erything possible to minimize the pos-
sibility of mistake. It is my opinion
that this country is in dire need of the
protection afforded to society by the
death penalty amendment introduced
by Senator D'Ar To.
By Mr. MURKOWSKI:
S. 2207. A bill to amend title 38,
United States Code, to authorize the
Administrator of Veterans' Affairs to
provide assistance simians and dogs to
veterans, who by reason of quadriple-
gia, are entitled to disability compen-
sation under laws administered by the
Veterans' Administration.
ASSISTANCE ANIMALS TO CERTAIN SEVERELY
DISABLED VETERANS
? Mr. MURKOWSKI. Mr. President, I
am most pleased to rise today to intro-
duce a bill which will significantly im-
prove the quality of life and increase
the independence of certain severely
disabled veterans. This bill would au-
thorize the Veterans' Administration
[VA] to provide assistive animals to
certain quadriplegic veterans. These
assistive animals include specially
trained simians or canines.
Mr. President, some 2,300 quadriple-
gic veterans currently receive service-
connected disability compensation
from the VA. These veterans, disabled
during military service, suffer from pa-
ralysis affecting both arms and both
legs. These veterans are referred to as
"service-connected quadriplegics."
I believe that these veterans-who
are permanently disabled as a result of
military service-deserve our highest
priority. The Congress and the VA
must continue to explore all op-
tions which will assist these veterans
in maximizing their independence and
employment opportunities. I am
pleased that the VA-with the assist-
ance and support of the "Paralyzed
Veterans of America"-has historically
been in the forefront of innovative re-
search, treatment, and rehabilitation
activities relating to spinal cord inju-
ries.
Mr. President, last year the VA's
general counsel was asked for its views
as to whether the VA had the legal au-
thority to provide certain veterans
with specially trained simians, and in a
November 6, 1987 opinion, the VA
stated that "we do not find a satisfac-
tory basis in law to provide these aides
outside the research setting as a bene-
fit to veterans." The opinion conclud-
ed that specific statutory authority
would be necessary to furnish simians
to disabled veterans. Thus, to further
the goal of achieving independence for
disabled veterans, I am introducing
today a bill which would authorize the
VA to provide assistive animals to ser-
vice-connected quadriplegics.
Due to recent advances in medical
technology, a quadriplegic who sur-
vives the first year after injury has a
nearly normal life expectancy. New
technologies, among other things,
have assisted quadriplegics in improv-
ing their quality of life and provided
for greater employment opportunities:
A multitude of automobile adaptive
equipment provides independence and
opportunity; the Robotic Arm, an-
other VA technological invention, can
perform functional tasks by voice acti-
vated control; computers operated by
voice and "sip and puff" respiratory
control have provided improved com-
munication and job opportunities for
many quadriplegics. Wheelchair im-
provements have also dramatically in-
creased the mobility of a quadriplegic.
Today, there are wheelchairs for every
lifestyle-including a variety of sports
wheelchairs.
According to Spinal Cord Injury: the
Facts and Figures, 92 percent of all
Americans with spinal cord injuries
reside in private residences, generally
at home with family members or
friends who provide support and as-
sistance. It is estimated that a quadri-
plegic requires about 4 to 6 hours of
human help daily. This assistance is
provided by family members, friends,
or a paid caregiver and includes activi-
ties such as bathing, dressing, getting
into and out of a wheelchair and other
tasks.
However, there are an endless
number of small tasks with which the
quadriplegic may need assistance. For
the so-called "high level" quadriple-
gic-that is, those with little or no use
.of arms and no use of legs-tasks like
turning off and on lights, food prepa-
ration, opening and closing doors, re-
S 2893
trieving a small object, and grooming
are impossible to perform alone. The
question we must address is the way in
which helpful and cost-effective assist-
ance can be provided to veterans to ac-
complish these tasks.
One answer-which has been shown
to work-is to have certain types of
animals perform these routine manual
tasks. Research has indicated that cer-
tain breeds of monkeys and dogs are
well-suited for such a program.
Since 1977, through combined fund-
ing from the VA and the Paralyzed
Veterans of America, a private sector
organization known as "Helping
Hands" has been conducting research
relating to the training and use of
monkeys to perform small tasks for
quadriplegics. Dr. Mary Jane Willard,
a behavioral psychologist and founder
of "Helping Hands," noted that qua-
driplegics who reside at.home general-
ly have either too little or too much
help. On one hand, a significant
number of quadriplegics are left alone
for large amounts of time. The quadri-
plegic is lonely and often goes without
basic necessities such as food and
drink. For example, without a mouth-
stick, a quadriplegic cannot turn the
pages of a book or use the computer to
work; if the mouthstick drops, there is
no option but to wait until a time
when someone can retrieve it for him.
On the other hand, a family member
may totally devote him or herself to
the care of the quadriplegic, refusing
to leave the house because of concerns
that his or her loved one may need
something. Either situation is terribly
difficult and undesirable.
It was with these considerations in
mind that Dr. Willard. began to study
the use of animals in performing rou-
tine manual tasks for disabled persons.
Research conducted by Dr. Willard
and others has indicated that monkeys
can be successfully trained to perform
a multitude of tasks on verbal com-
mand and with the use of a laser
pointer. The first specially trained
monkey was placed with a quadriplegic
in 1979. The monkey's overall reliabil-
ity in performing tasks has been 94
percent. Currently, seven quadriple-
gics utilize monkeys to perform daily
living tasks.
In addition-to performing important
tasks, the monkey also provides com-
panionship to the sometimes lonely
and isolated life of a quadriplegic. Re-
search has indicated that the neigh-
bors and community members were
fascinated with the monkey and this
fascination increased the opportunity
for social interaction of the quadriple-
gic. The monkey becomes the topic of
communication much like discussions
about pets or children often are
among parents and pet owners. Re-
search completed - in 1982 by Judith
Zazula found that monkeys performed
their tasks in a reliable and economic
fashion and that the animal encour-
aged interaction between the quadri-
plegic and the nondisabled public.

Equally as important, the owner de-
rived personal satisfaction from the
monkey.
There are, of course, costs associated
with training, equipping, and trans-
porting each monkey. While the cost
will decrease as the case load in-
creases, "Helping Hands" estimates
that if it can train and place 50 mon-
keys annually, the one-time cost would
be $11,000 each. The monkey has a
working lifetime of 20 years. Disney
World, Inc., has -spent nearly $100,000
in constructing a facility in Orlando,
FL, to breed and raise monkeys for
this project. Once established and run-
ning at full speed, this will reduce the
cost associated with this program.
In addition, Mr. President, a Califor-
nia-based nonprofit organization is in-
volved with training dogs for use by
disabled persons, including quadriple-
gics. This organization, known as
"Canine Companions for Independ-
ence," was recognized in 1987 by the
President's Committee on Employ-
ment of the Handicapped with the
Distinguished Service Award. This
very important organization trains
dogs to pull wheelchairs up inclines,
retrive dropped items, and turn lights
on and off.
I am pleased that the Paralyzed Vet-
erans of America have written to me
to express their support for this im-
portant legislation. I commend the
fine work of the PVA in their efforts
to provide greater independence for in-
dividuals with spinal cord injuries.
Mr. President, I urge my colleagues
to join with me in support of this leg-
islation.
Mr. President; I ask unanimous con-
sent that the research articles that I
have discussed, the PVA letter, the
VA's general counsel opinion on this
matter, and the text of the bill be
printed In.the RECORD.
There being no objection, the mate-
rial was ordered to be printed in the

TRAINING A CAPUCHIN (CEBUS APELLA) TO
PERFORM AS AN AIDE FOR A QUADRIPLEGIC'
(By Mary Joan Willard, Karen Dana, Lori
Stark, Jayne Owen, Judi Zazula, and Paul
Corcoran)
Abstract-Initial results of. a small pilot
project indicate that Cebus monkeys have
the potential to serve as animal aides for
quadriplegics. During the course of the pilot
project the investigators developed a set of
procedures for teaching a Cebus monkey a
variety of helping skills. Given a description
of those procedures, a college student with
no prior animal training experience was
able to teach a naive Cebus apella nine dif-
ferent complex behaviors in 25.5 hr of train-
ing over a period of two months.
INTRODUCTION
Recent medical progress has permitted
the survival of very severely disabled people
who, although totally paralyzed, retain un-
impaired cognitive and communication skills
and in many cases also have a normal life
expectancy. The most dramatic examples is
the high level quadriplegic after a cervical
spinal cord injury. In order to live independ-
ently outside of a chronic care institution,
such persons require a minimum of 4 to 5 hr
per-day of human help, generally obtained
by paying a "personal care attendant"
(PCA). The PCA assists with tasks such as
bathing, dressing, bowel and bladder rou-
tines, household tasks and errands and
transfers-into and out of a wheelchair.
Many PCA's provide indispensible services
and are highly motivated and, reliable. In
other cases, however, dependence upon a
PCA may be quite unsatisfactory. They are
always hard to find, turnover is high, they
may not arrive when scheduled, and in a few
cases PCAs have exploited handicapped in-
dividuals in various unfortunate ways. Fur-
thermore, regardless of the quality of PCA-
provided services, reliance upon a PCA Is
quite expensive. The PCA represents a
major expense for the handicapped individ-
ual and/or the health care system. Since
few quadriplegics can afford a full-time
PCA, many spend. major portions of their
waking hours unattended.
In 1977 P. Corcoran and I began investi-
gating the feasibility of training capuchin
monkeys as helpers for the severely dis-
abled. The target population we were inter-
ested In includes disabled individuals who .
are either totally paralyzed from the shoul-
ders down or have only very limited use of
their arms and legs. Most spinal-cord-in-
jured persons as well as a small proportion
of those with multiple sclerosis, muscular
dystrophy or cerebral palsy- fall into this
category.
BACKGROUND AND SUBJECTS
First Placement
In 1979, after taming and working with
several monkeys, we placed Hellion, a 2-
year-old Cebus albifrons with Robert F., a
23-year-old man who is paralyzed from the
shoulders down. Over the next 18 months
experimental equipment was added to his
electric wheelchair which enables him to
now direct, reward and punish his trained
capuchin. Robert uses a chin-controlled
wheelchair to move about his apartment. A
mini-laser pointer is mounted alongside the
chin control. Robert communicates his
needs by aiming the laser at the object he
wishes Hellion to manipulate. He combines
the laser beam with a verbal command to

erans of America and bay the National Science

the monkey. -When Hellion successfully
completes a task, Robert rewards her by
triggering the release of a food pellet from
his wheelchair-mounted pellet dispenser.
Because Hellion's natural curiosity could
result in numerous messes in his apartment,
a system was developed to prevent Hellion
from destroying Robert's possessions. Hel-
lion was trained to avoid all contact with
pieces of furniture and miscellaneous per-
sonal effects upon which white stickers had
been placed. If she does touch a stickered
item, Robert is able to punish her by deliv-
ering either a warning tone or a tone plus
an elecric shock to her tail.

Hellion can perform a variety of tasks for
her paralyzed owner. Table 1 lists these
tasks and the reliability with which they are
performed.
The General Problem
The training strategies used in teaching
Hellion were based upon the principles of
behavior modification (Skinner, 1938, 1951;
Honig & Staddon, 1977). Although these
basic principles of learning provided a guide,
working out the step-by-step procedures for
teaching specific tasks involved a consider-
able amount of trial and error. What we felt
we needed was a standard set of procedures
which could be used by almost anyone to
teach a tame Cebus monkey some basic
helping skills. Such a set of procedures
would allow inexpensive replications of the
results we had achieved with Hellion. What
follows is a description of those procedures
as they were used by an inexperienced train-
er to teach a "naive" monkey a basic set of
skills.
Su Su is an 8-year-old female Cebus
apella. Work with two Cebus apellas and
four Cebus albifrons led the investigators to
conclude that apellas have an activity level
roughly one-fourth that of the more acro-
batic and somewhat hyperactive albifrons.
The attention span of the-apella also ap-
pears to be much longer. The phlegmatic

temperament of the apella suggests that
they will make significantly better animal
aides.
Su Su was purchased from a zoo where
she had lived for two years: Although she
had been a pet prior to her placement in the
zoo, the details of her pre-zoo life are un-
known. After she was purchased, all of her
teeth were extracted, thereby eliminating
any possibility that she might bite her
trainer or future owner. She then lived for
several months in the home of a volunteer
who spent approximately 1 hr with her each
day, accustoming her to close contact with
humans. When she began her training in
January of 1981, she had become a tame
and friendly animal.
The Trainer
Kathy is a 21-year-old college student who
volunteered to train a monkey. She had
worked for one year as a veterinary's assist-
ant but had no animal training experience.
Kathy was given a 50-page manual of train-
ing instructions. She was supervised on an
"as needed" basis. Kathy received a total of
2 hrs of assistance from an experienced
trainer, primarily in the initial stages of
training.
TRAINING PROCEDURES
Training Room
The sight or sound of people walking or
talking easily disrupted the early training.
Therefore, initially a 25-ft square window-
less closet was used as the training site.
Once a behavior had been mastered, howev-
er, extraneous. auditory and visual stimuli
were far less disruptive, and the later stages
of training were conducted in a large but
sparsely furnished office.
Food Deprivation and Rewards
Su Su was deprived of food for approxi-
mately 16 hr before each training session.
Small amounts of peanut butter or bananas
were then used to reward Su Su for success-
ful performance during the session.
The Sessions
Sessions varied in length from 20 to 60
min. The average session was 35 min. Typi-
cally trainer and monkey spent at least 90
percent of their time on task behavior. If
the monkey appeared distracted, confused,
or not hungry the session was discontinued
and rescheduled. Approximately 15 percent
of the sessions had to be rescheduled.
Conditioned Reinforcer
Skinner (1951) noted that optimal learn-
ing occurs when a reinforcer follows the
target behavior within two-fifths of a
second. Following Skinner's suggestion the
trainer repeatedly paired the sound of a
clicker noisemaker with the delivery of a
small amount of food. Approximately 100
such pairings took place over the course of
two 20-min sessions. By the end of the
second session the monkey would look
toward the trainer and approach her when-
ever she sounded the clicker. The trainer
then used this same noise in subsequent
training to give immediate feedback to the
monkey. It was followed by a bit of food a
few seconds later.
Imitation
The first training objective was to teach
the monkey to imitate the trainer in per-
forming a simple task. The trainer gave the
command "do this" and simultaneously
dropped a rubber stopper into a 20X8 inch
shallow box. Initially the monkey was re-
warded if she merely touched the stopper.
The trainer then repeated the desired be-
havior and rewarded successive approxima-
tions until the monkey consistently picked
up and dropped the stopper into the box
when given the command. The large box
was replaced with a smaller box and then,
after several more correct trials, with a bowl
8 inches in diameter. The monkey was con-
sidered, to have mastered the task when
nine out of ten trials were correct. It took 18
min for Su Su to master this first task.
The trainer next substituted a plastic lid
for. the stopper and rewarded the monkey
for placing this new object in the bowl.
After several successful trials she set both
the lid and the stopper before the monkey
some 18 inches apart. The trainer now se-
lected one or the other of these two objects,
dropping it into the bowl as she said "do
this." The trainer then replaced the object
and waited for the monkey to imitate her.
The monkey was ignored for 30 sec (a "time
out") if either the incorrect object or both
objects were selected. The trainer then re-
peated the demonstration. If the monkey se-
lected the correct object, the trainer imme-
diately sounded the clicker but withheld the
food reward until the monkey also dropped
the object into the bowl.
Once the monkey demonstrated the con-
sistent ability to discriminate between the
two objects and imitate the trainer's ac-
tions, a third object was added and the proc-
ess begun once again. Through further imi-
tation of the trainer, the monkey was even-
tually taught to select one of five different
objects and place it in one of two different
bowls. The monkey took a total of 135 min
in mastering this imitation task, and an ad-
ditional 45 min was spent in practice and
review.
Fetching
Su Su next learned to retrieve a small
object and place it in the trainer's hand. In
teaching this task, the trainer took advan-
tage of a skill Su Su had already acquired.
The trainer began by giving the command
"do this" and then dropped a rubber stop-
per into a small bowl. After the monkey had
correctly imitated this behavior several
times, the trainer cupped her hand inside
the bowl. The monkey was then rewarded
each time she placed the stopper into this
hand/bowl combination.
Once the monkey was performing the task
without hesitation, the bowl was removed.
The monkey was now rewarded for imitat-
ing the trainer in placing the stopper into
the trainer's cupped hand. After the
monkey had done this several times success-
fully, the trainer changed command from
"do this" to "fetch." After several more suc-
cessful.trials, the imitative stimulus was dis-
continued, and the trainer simply prompted
the fetching behavior by touching or point-
ing to the stopper while saying "fetch" as
she extended her other hand.
Because the fetching response was often
carelessly performed, the trainer began to
withhold reinforcement if the stopper fell
out of her outstretched hand. In these in-
stances, the monkey was required to pick up
the stopper again and place it in the open
hand before receiving a reward. Next, the
trainer varied the location of the stopper,
although at no time was it placed more than
a few feet from the trainer.
Once the monkey had been trained to per-
form. this task reliably, the trainer substi-
tuted a series of small objects for the stop-
per, one at a time, until the monkey would
retrieve any small object placed within the
immediate vicinity of the trainer. Su Su
mastered this task within 17 min.
Fetching in Response to the Laser Beam
For this task, the trainer began by reduc-
ing the light in the training room by substi-
tuting a 15-watt bulb for the normal 100-
watt light. She then placed the rubber stop-
per on the floor and directed a flashlight
beam at it. Extending her hand palm-up,
she gave the command to "fetch." After sev-
S 2895
eral successful trials, the trainer substituted
a lid for the stopper and again directed the
flashlight beam at this new target. Once the
monkey had retrieved this second object
several times, the trainer placed. both ob-
jects on the floor 18 inches apart and direct-
ed the flashlight at one of them. She gave
the command to "fetch", with her out-
stretched hand held equidistant between
the two objects. If the monkey chose the
lighted object, she was immediately reward-
ed. If she selected the incorrect object, the
trainer withdrew her hand and the flash-
light and ignored the monkey for 30 sec.
Once Su Su was consistently retrieving
the lighted object, a 0.5 milliwatt helium
neon laser was substituted for the flash-
light. The laser projected a 1/9 inch diameter
bright red dot onto the target. The monkey
first spent several minutes trying to eat the
dot, but then began to retrieve the object
upon which the dot rested. Additional ob-
jects were added and trials given until the
monkey could retrieve the correct object
from among a dozen placed about the room.
It took Su Su 145 min to master this task.
Another 120 min were spent practicing this
task in a variety of settings.
Changing the Location of Small Objects
Su Su was next taught to pick up a small
object and move it to locations indicated by
the laser beam. Once again, parts of an old
task were used to teach this new task. The
trainer first had the monkey retrieve a
rubber stopper highlighted by the laser
beam. This was repeated several times. The
trainer then substituted the command
"change" for "fetch" and simultaneously
moved the laser beam from the stopper to
her outstretched hand the moment the
monkey picked up the stopper.
After several successful trials in which Su
Su transferred the stopper to the trainer's
hand, the trainer substituted a shoe box for
her hand. She again aimed the laser at the
location to which the monkey was to trans-
port the object. After several trials in which
the monkey correctly picked up the stopper,
carried it over, and placed it in the shoe
box, the lid of the shoe box was substituted
for the box itself. Later a piece of cardboard
was substituted for the lid. Still later the
size of the target was reduced even further
as the cardboard was torn in half, and then
into quarters. Finally the cardboard was re-
moved entirely, leaving the beam of light on
the floor (directly in front of the trainer) as
the only clue to where the stopper was to be
placed.
After several successful trials in which the
monkey transferred the stopper to the
lighted spot, the trainer increased the diffi-
culty of the task by requiring the monkey to
move the stopper approximately a foot to
her left or to her right. The monkey was
not rewarded until she had placed the stop-
per directly in the path of the beam. Other
small objects were later substituted for the
stopper, one at a time, so that the monkey
was given the opportunity to move any one
of the variety of objects from one spot on
the floor to another.
Su Su mastered this skill in 120 min. An-
other 95 min were spent practicing this
newly-mastered task in a variety of settings,
which included instances of placing objects
on top of pieces of furniture.
Removing a Plastic Bottle from a Refrigera-
tor, Placing It in a Slot on a Feeding Tray,
Opening the Lid and Inserting a Straw
For this chain of tasks, the last step was
taught first, then the next to the last step,
and so on until the monkey had mastered
the entire sequence.
The last step is inserting a straw into an
open container. The trainer slid the bottle

into Its slot in the feeding tray and began by
demonstrating a modified version of the
target behavior. She . inserted a 3 inch
length of straw into the opening and re-
warded the monkey for successful imita-
tions. The trainer gradually increased the
length of the straw until the monkey could
insert a 12 inch length of plastic without
difficulty.
The next to the last step in the chain was
removing the lid from the bottle. Because
the monkey was to do this only when the
bottle was properly Inserted into its holder,
the bottle was always inserted into the feed-
ing tray before the monkey was given the
opportunity to unscrew the lid. The trainer
first tightened the lid slightly and then
demonstrated the twisting motion necessary
to unscrew it.
At first the monkey was rewarded for any
twisting action, even if it did not result in
removing the lid. During any trials in which
she removed the lid, the monkey was given
the plexiglass straw and required to insert it
in the bottle before receiving her reward.
The rightness with. which the lid was at-
tached was gradually increased until she
demonstrated the ability to unfasten a se-
curely closed top. Because the 12 oz square
container was to be inserted into a square
slot in the tray, the monkey was able to grip
the lid with both hands and to exert the
force necessary to unscrew the top without
also turning the bottle.
The third from the last step in the chain
was inserting the square bottle into its
proper slot. A square opening 1.5 times as
large as the bottle was cut into the bottom
of a shoe box. When inverted, the box pre-
sented an opening into which the bottle
could easily be guided. The trainer demon-
strated the desired behavior and rewarded
the monkey for successful imitations. Once
she had mastered this, the size of the open-
ing was gradually reduced until the monkey
could guide the bottle into a snug enclosure
without difficulty.
The actual opening in the feeding tray
was then substituted for the shoe box.
Every time the monkey successfully
dropped the bottle into the slot in the feed-
ing tray, the trainer required that the
monkey then unscrew the lid and insert the
straw before she gave the monkey her
reward. When necessary, the trainer
prompted the monkey to complete the
entire chain of these behaviors by simply
tapping the lid or straw to draw the mon-
key's attention to the next step in the se-
quence.
The last step in the training process was
removing the bottle from a refrigerator and
carrying it to the table in preparation for
inserting it into the feeding tray. The train-
er first placed the bottle 2 ft from the feed-
ing tray on the table and rewarded the
monkey when she completed the chain from
that point. Next the trainer placed ? the
bottle on a chair next to the table and re-
quired the monkey to pick it up, place it on
top of the table, and follow through in car-
rying it to the tray. Finally the bottle was
placed on the floor several feet from the
chair. If the monkey hesitated, the trainer
prompted her behavior by directing the
laser beam in front of the monkey to indi-
cate where she was to go.
Opening the refrigerator door was made
easy by placing several strips of tape across
the magnetic lock. Seated on the floor, the
trainer gave the command "do this" while
placing her fingers in the door crack. She
then gently pried the door open. The
monkey was rewarded for successful imita-
tions. The strips of tape were gradually re-
moved one at a time until the monkey could
brace herself and tug open a securely closed
door. Once she was proficient at this task,
every instance of opening the door was fol-
lowed by the trainer directing a laser beam
at the bottle located on the bottom shelf.
She was required to complete the entire
chain before receiving a reward. Small
amounts of liquid were added to the bottle
until Su Su could easily. carry and manipu-
late the container when it held 12 oz of
liquid. Su Su mastered the entire chain in
240 min. An additional 55 min. were spent in
practice and review.
Su Su was also taught to retrieve a bowl
with a detachable lid and a sandwich holder
and place them in their proper slots in the
feeding tray. Because the training proce-
dures so closely resemble those followed in
teaching her to retrieve and position a
bottle in the feeding tray, they will not be
described here.
Su Su mastered retrieving, positioning and
opening the bowl in 40 min. She learned to
transport and position the sandwich holder
in 40 min.
RETRIEVING A MOUTHSTICK
Many quadriplegics use a mouthstlck to
type, operate a speaker phone, and turn the
pages of a book. If this tool is dropped, they
are unable to retrive it without assistance.
Su Su was taught to retrieve a mouthstick
from the trainer's lap or from the floor.
The trainer began by sitting in a chair at
a desk and placing the monkey on the desk
top. The trainer then held a pencil with one
end wrapped in tape several inches from her
open mouth. She said "do this" and inserted
the taped end into her mouth. Next, con-
tinuing to hold the pencil lightly, the train-
er waited for the monkey to touch the
pencil and then guided it into her ovm
mouth. The trainer gradually decreased the
amount of guidance she provided until the
monkey would insert the mouthstick into
the trainer's mouth on her own.
The trainer slowly_ increased the distance
between her own mouth and where she
placed the pencil until the monkey was able
to pick it up from the desk and properly
insert it. If at any time the monkey at-
tempted to insert the untaped end in first,
the trainer closed her mouth and refused to
accept it, and instead gently turned the
pencil around in the monkey's hands,
prompting her to try again. The task was
considered to have been mastered when the
trainer was able to drop the mouthstick on
the desk, her lap, or the floor, give the com-
mand "mouth," and have the monkey prop-
erly retrieve it. Su Su mastered this task in
25 min. Another 25 min was spent in review.
Dusting Furniture or Cleaning Up Small
Spills
For, this task, the monkey was taught to
push a dust cloth along a flat surface fol-
lowing a laser beam. The trainer began by
inserting her hand into a cotton potholder
mitten and placing the mitten on the floor.
Giving the command "do this," she then
pushed the mitten with her other hand,
sliding it several inches across the floor.
At first the monkey was rewarded for
touching the mitten. If the monkey at-
tempted to pick it up, the trainer pressed it
tightly against the floor. The monkey could
now only employ a sliding motion to move
it. As more of the monkey's attempts took
the form of pushing movements, the trainer
withdrew her hand from the mitten.
Once the monkey was consistently able to
push the cloth several inches, the trainer in-
troduced the laser beam as a target. The
beam was directed a few inches in front of
the mitten. The monkey had only to push
the mitten a very short distance before it
intercepted the light. As soon as the mitten
did cross the beam, the trainer immediately
sounded the clicker. The distance between
the beam and the mitten was gradually in-
March 23, 1988
creased until the monkey had learned first
to look for the beam and then to push the
cloth toward it. The trainer then began to
move the beam, requiring that the monkey
follow it back and forth across the floor sev-
eral times before receiving a reward. It took
45 min for the monkey to master this task.
Another 30 min were spent in practicing it
on various surfaces.
Vacuuming
A small non-electric carpet sweeper was
modified for use by the monkey. Seated on
the floor, the trainer began by placing her
leg across the base of the sweeper leaving
only the T-bar handle accessible. Saying "do
this," the trainer placed both of her hands
on the handle. The monkey was rewarded if
she placed one or both hands in the same
position. Once the monkey had learned to
position her hands correctly, the trainer re-
moved her leg from the base of the sweeper.
Saying "do this," the trainer now pushed
against the handle until the sweeper had
moved several inches. The monkey was ini-
tially rewarded. for any forward pushing,
but the distance she was required to travel
before receiving a reward was gradually in-
creased. If the monkey stopped short of the
desired distance the trainer prompted a
second or third push by tapping the handle
and giving the command "vac."
Once the monkey had learned to push the
sweeper several feet consistently, the laser
.beam was introduced as a target. As in
teaching dusting, the trainer directed the
beam 1 to 2 ft in front of the monkey and
sounded the clicker the moment the clean-
ing instrument intersected the beam. Once
the monkey had learned to readily follow
the beam in a straight line, the trainer
began to direct the beam in a wide arc. She
gradually increased the sharpness of the
turns until the monkey could follow the
beam back and forth across the floor with-
out difficulty. Su Su mastered this task in
230 min. An additional 80 min were spent In
review and practice under a variety of condi-
tions.
CONCLUSION
Thus far Su Su has spent 25.5 hr in train-
ing. Her education is still incomplete. Over
the next few months she will be (1) taught
to avoid any pieces of furniture on which
white stickers have been pasted; (2) trained
in several obedience behaviors via avoidance
conditioning; (3) trained to use a specially
designed toilet which is part of her cage;
and (4) given 20 to 40 hr Of supervised prac-
tice in the home of her new quadriplegic
owner.
It is yet too early to evaluate the costs and
benefits associated with owning a simian
aide. Cebus monkeys do, however, have a
life expectancy of 30 years, which means
they should be able to serve their owners
over a very long period of time. The costs
associated at least with the laboratory stage
of training are surprisingly low. Kathy's
training of Su Su demonstrates that even an
inexperienced volunteer is capable of
achieving sophisticated results with the
proper set of instructions.
Should simian aides prove practical, our
long term goal is to establish a non-profit
program similar to a guide-dog school. How-
ever, a number of questions need to be an-
swered before such a project can be under-
taken. They include: (1) Does the gender of
the monkey affect its performance as an
aide? (2) Should the males undergo castra-
tion or the females ovariotomies? If so at
what age? (3) At what age should a monkey
be removed from a breeding colony to be
raised by humans? (4) Is there a small
monkey suitable than the Cebus apelia to
act as a helper for quadriplegics?

A CAPUCHIN MONKEY AS AN AIDE TO A QUAD-

Thesis, 1982)
'ABSTRACT
In a previous Pilot study, a capuchin
monkey .was trained to retrieve objects, acti-
vate household appliances, and feed a
human being. The purpose of this study was
to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of
that monkey as a supplementary aide to a
quadriplegic young man. The intent was to
determine if monkey assistance would be an
effective method of increasing a handi-
capped individual's ability to interact with
his environment.
The evaluation Was divided into the areas
of (a) task performance, (b) attitudes
toward the disabled, (c) undersirable
monkey behaviors, (d) cost effectiveness,
and (e) the disabled owner's.subjenlve ap-
praisal. Data collection methods included
personal interviews, observation during
baseline and experimental periods trine in-
volving the monkey and one not), and a
record review.
The results indicate that task behaviors of
the quadriplegic individual increased -when
he received assistance from his animal aide.
More people were found to initiate verbal
interaction with the human subject in
public when he was :accompanied by the
monkey. Specific annoying behaviors that
the animal engaged in were identified by
the disabled owner and his human attend-
ant. Additionally, the estimated cast of
monkey assistance in feeding was less- than
the cost of human assistance in the same ac-
tivity. The disabled owner's subjective ap-
praisal revealed that the use of a monkey
aide had an overall positive effect on his
aged interaction between its disabled owner
and the nondisabled public, negative
monkey behaviors were tolerable, and the
human subject derived personal satisfaction
from his simian aide.
The findings of . this initial evaluation
imply,that the use of a capuchin monkey as
an aide to,a quadriplegic individual is a fea-
sible method of supplementing the assist-
anceprovided `by a part time human attend-
ant.
CAPUCHIN MONKEYS AS AmEs FOR
'QUADRIPLEGICS _
(Mary Joan Willard, Ed.D, and Paul
Corcoran,'M;D.) -
Pilot project research has shown that.cap-
uchin monkeys have the potential to be .as
valuable to high-level quadriplegics as guide
dogs are now to the blind. Current .goals and
the progress made on each Is as .follow:s:
1. The standardization of training proce-
dures for teaching monkeys a basic reper-
toire of skills. Approximately two-thirds of
the training procedures used in teaching a
basic repertoire of skills have been -stand-
ardized, and are described Ina 100-page Il-
lustrated training manual. By .following ,the
Instructions in this manual, inexperienced
college students have successfully trained
naive monkeys with only occasional help
from a training supervisor.
2. The redesign of equipment which allows
the disabled user to direct, reward, and
punish his animal helper. The shock/buzz
remote-control harnesses used to discipline
the monkeys have been reduced in size and
weight. A variable-level shock control has
been added to the unit. Powder reward dis-
pensers which frequently clogged have been
replaced with inexpensive manually operat-
ed liquid-reward dispensers.
3. A directory of new skills which can be
taught to monkeys. Only four new behav-
iors have been added to the 'basic list. It
seems as if most high-level quadriplegics
share many of the same basic needs.
4. Placement of 3-4 monkeys,per year with
new owners. Three additional placements
have been made since June of 1982. Feed-
back has resulted in a better understanding
of the type of situation in which these
animal aides can be'of most value.
5. The evaluation of all placements. A pro-
posal is being prepared for submission to
the VA Prosthetic and Sensory Aids Service
requesting an independent evaluation - of
simian aides.
B. A cost/benefit analysis. for the disabled
recipient and the health care system. Pre-
liminary results indicate the financial and
psychosocial benefits derived from owning a
simian aide outweigh the costs. A more
formal analysis awaits data that will be col-
lected during the Independent evaluation.
I. An analysis of the type of organization
Which can train and place simian aides on a
larger scale. A detached outline -of an orga-
nization has not only been drawn up, but es-
tablished. Helping Hands. Simian Aides for
the Disabled, Inc. was incorporated in New
York State in October of 1382 as a nonprof-
it organization.
THE PSYCHOSOCIAL IMPACT?OF SIMIAN AIDES

Westbrook)

In 1977 Willard and Cocoran began inves-
tigating the feasibility of training capuchin
monkeys' as sides for quadriplegics. Their

on human assistance. By 1984, seven quadri-
plegics were living and working with simian
aides. These individuals had not only
achieved greater independence, but they re-
ported a variety of psychological and social
changes. Tame, affectionate capuchins pro-

quadriplegics', social -world expanded as
their monkeys attracted strangers and en-
tertained .riends.71ie :simian aides seemed
to hold'a"position in their owners affections
somewhere between? that of a treasured pet
and a human child.
BACKGROUND ON THE'PROBLEM
To live outside -of a chronic care institu-
tion, a high level quadriplegic requires a
minimum of 4 to ,6 hours per day of human
help. The disabled Individual usually re-
ceives this help from one or more family
members. Twho must snake drastic changes in
their own lives to provide it, or from a paid
personal care attendant (PCA). The relative
or PCA assists with tasks such as bathing,
dressing, bowel :and bladder routines, house-
hold tasks, and transfers into and oat of a
wheelchair.
In addition to these essential tasks, which
are usually performed in the morning -and
again at night, a quadriplegic needs help to
achieve countless small tasks during the
course of the day. Putting a book or ,maga-
zine on a -reading stand, placing -a cassette
into a tap recorder, getting a drink, eating a
meal, retrieving a fallen mouthsttck, and
opening a door are .all tasks that require as-
sistance.
Few quadriplegics have families willing 4or
able to Provide constant access to help, and
fewer .still can afford full-time paid attend-
ants. Many simply do ;without. These indi-
viduals are surviving, but the quality of
their'lives leaves room for a great deal of
improvement. ,
SIMIAN AIDES .
in 197.9, after training and working with
several monkeys, Willard and Cocoran
placed Hellion, a 2-year-old CCebus albs ronms'
with .Robert F., a.23-year-old man who is
paralyzed from the shoulders down. Robert
lives in his own apartment with the aid oof a
PCA. His live-in attendant works full time
at a nearby hospital and Robert is alone ap-
proximately 9 hours per day. 5 days per
week.
To communicate his needs to his 16--pound
animal aide, Robert aims a small harmless
laser pointer at the object he wants her to
manipulate. The laser is mounted on the
chin control mechanism of his wheelchair.
He uses the laser beam plus a verbal com-
mand to .indicate what the animal is to do
With the object. When Hellion has complet-
ed a task, Robert rewards her with the re-
lease-of a food pellet from the dispenser
mounted on his wheelchair.
In addition to the tasks. illustrated, Hel-
lion -can retrieve a fallen mouthstiek and
place the correct end in Robert's mouth.
She can remove a sandwich- held in a sand-
wich holder from the refrigerator and place
it on a tray allowing Robert to eat. Should
he want a drink, she can place a drink con-
tainer on the feeding tray, open it, and
insert a straw. She can turnlights on or off
or use a rag to clean up spills and dust fur-
niture. Because she can move small objects
from place to place following a laser beam.
Robert can-direct Hellion to place selected
books on a reading stand or throw waste-
papers in the trash. She will come when
called and return to her cage, locking the
door behind her when given a command to
do so. -
TRAINING TECHNIQUES
The training - tractegies used in teaching
Hellion were based upon, the principles of
behavior: modification. Alt - igh these basic
principles of learning provided a guide,
working nut the step-by-step procedures for
teaching specific tasks involved a consider-
able amount of trial.:and'error. All-but two

behaviors are maintained using reward
alone. The exceptional behaviors, returning
to the cage and avoiding marked objects and
areas, must be performed with 100% reli-
ability and, therefore, are maintained
through threat of punishment. Robert can
deliver a warning tone or a warning tone
and a mild electric shock to the base of Hel-
lion's tail if she disobeys these two com-
mands.
PSYCHOSOCIAL IMPACT
Initially, we were more concerned with
the practical aspects of simian aide usage.
The 7 placements made over the past 5
years have allowed us to experiment with
new behaviors, and with the species, age,
and sex of the monkeys. They have also led
to equipment refinement and the develop-
ment of improved training techniques. This
work had led us to conclude that simian
aides can be cost effective, reliable, and very
appropriate helpers for some portion of the
quadriplegic population.
Despite our task-oriented focus, it has
become increasingly apparent that these
animals are providing much more than a
means to increase independence. In examin-
ing the literature on pet therapy, we found
that the psychosocial impact of animals on
the aged, imprisoned, and the handicapped
has been explored. Observations made on
the quadriplegic/simian interactions have
convinced us that this partnership repre-
sents one of the most unique and dramatic
illustrations of the human/animal bonding
phenomena.
Numerous studies on the theraputic uses
of pets have documented the psychological
changes that can occur with the acquisition
of a pet. Lima State Hospital for the Crimi-
nally Insane uses pets as catalysts for ther-
apy. This treatment has been effective with
depressed, suicidal, and introverted patients
Lee (1982) reports that the pets alleviate
loneliness, hopelessness, and boredom, while
simultaneously increasing self-esteem and
stimulating a less self-focused and a more
responsible attitude in the patients. Feld-
mann (1977) reports that responsibility for
the welfare of a pet can help the owner feel
significant, nurturing, and needed. Upon re-
ceiving her simian aide, a 35-year-old quadri-
plegic told her sister. "I feel as if I'm getting
the child I never thought I'd be able to
have."
Fox (1981) and Levison (1970, 1972) have
studied the effects of pets on the elderly
and found that the major benefits of the
pet/owner relationship include companion-
ship, affection, stimulation, and emotional
security. Even more so than the elderly,
high-level quadriplegics are restricted in the
activities they can engage in. Much of their
time is spent at home, where rooms are
wheelchair accessible, adaptive equipment is
set up, and a daily routine of human assist-
ance is provided. Such confinement often
leads to isolation and loneliness. The
mother of a 27-year-old quadriplegic partici-
pant observed.
He was hurt 5 years ago. His friends
gradually stopped coming around. There's
just his family now, and that monkey. They
do everything together. I can't tell you how
much she means to him.
The animal aides are working creatures
who demand active owners. A quadriplegic
must direct, reward, and discipline his
monkey many times during the day. Main-
taining task performance, dealing with be-
havior problems, and teaching new tasks are
complex skills which require attentiveness,
creativity, and problem-solving. This mental
and emotional stimulation can help allevi-
ate the boredom and depression associated
with isolation and restricted activities.

were neutral but over a period of months
have become very attached to her. The
sixth attendant did not like her H but now
tolerates her, and the seventh person dis-
liked her from day one: She quit.
Simian aides can also contribute to the
richness of these on-going relationships.
One full time attendant said of his employ-
er,
He is not always the most stimulating
person. We just can't have that much in
common. But that monkey has kept us to-
gether. We talk about her all the time: about
the cute things she does and how other
people react to her. Whenever anyone calls
or stops by, they ask about H. (the monkey).
He (my employer) has a million funny
stories to tell and people love to hear them.
More than one observer has commented
on the obvious pride a quadriplegic takes in
his simian aide. Ownership itself is part of
the source. They possess something unusual
that others want to touch, admire. and play
with. Their own expertise is another source
of pride. They have become knowledgeable
about primate training, care, and personali-
ty. Others seek them out, valuing their in-
formation and showing genuine interest in
their stories.
It is fairly recent medical progress which
has permitted the survival of these severely
disabled people. As of 1979 there were
75,000 spinal cord injured quadriplegics in
the United States, and every year the
number grows. Over 80% of those injured
are under 40 years of age. In many cases
these individuals have a normal life expect-
ancy. Society is just beginning to provide
for more than custodial care. Simian Aides
are one option which not. only helps with
daily care, but has profound effects on the
quality of their lives as well.

In a study examining attending care for
the disabled, DeJong and Wenker (1979)
found that self-management of even a small
part of one's personal care was critical to a
sense of self-worth. and independence.
Shontz (1975) found that individuals who
control their own life experiences maintain
a higher morale than those who feel totally
controlled by outside events. A quadriplegic
is dependent upon his family and attend-
ants for everything from bowel and bladder
care to each bite of food he consumes. It is
an unusual person who is comfortable with
asking for help 20, 30, or 40 times per day.
Feelings of imposition and helplessness
are not part of the monkey/quadriplegic re-
lationship. Controlling a wheelchair-mount-
ed food dispenser gives the quadriplegic
power. The monkey is eager to perform,
knowing she will be immediately reinforced.
Thus the quadriplegic enjoys the role of di-
rector and benefactor. All owners have re-
ported playing fetch and reward games with
their animal aides. Much as a dog owner
might throw a stick for his pet whenever
chores are not needed, quadriplegics direct
and reward for the fun of it. A part-time at-
tendant for a quadriplegic observed that her
employer had less trouble keeping attend-
ants now that she has a simian aide.
Instead of giving us orders for every little
thing she'd ask the monkey to do some-
thing. It seems to meet some of her needs
for control, and it made life a lot easier for
us.
SOCIAL BENEFITS
The difficulty experienced by the disabled
in meeting people is well documented (Mari-
belil and Dell-Orto, 1977; Roessler and
Bolton, 1978; and Smith-Hanen, 1976).
Strangers feel guilty and uncomfortable in
the presence of the handicapped (Goffman,
1963) and as a result generally avoid interac-
tion with them. Such avoidance exacerbates
the isolation and loneliness suffered by
many handicapped people, and may encour-
age further social withdrawal (Hunt, 1966).
Animals give others an acceptable reason to
make contact and ease the awkward initial.
interaction. Each of the 7 participants in
this program have spontaneously comment-
ed on the effect their monkeys have in at-
tracting others. One quadriplegic said.
Whenever I'm lonely, I go outside with my
monkey. Everybody thinks she's beautiful
and wants to know all about her.
In a study by J.L. Zazula in 1982, ap-
proach behavior toward a quadriplegic with
and without his monkey was assessed by
measuring the number of people who initi-
ated conversation with the quadriplegic in a
public shopping center in the absence of the
monkey, only 2 strangers spoke to the quad-
riplegic within a period of one hour. Howev-
er, with a monkey seated in his lap, 71
strangers initiated a conversation with the
owner within a one-hour period. In fact,
Zazula reports that her quadriplegic subject
chose whether to bring his monkey on a
public excursion or into his front yard, de-
pending on how much attention he felt like
receiving that day.
Monkeys not only attract attention, but
their presence can minimize the salience of
their owner's handicap. With little atten-
tion being paid to his paralysis, a qaudriple-
gic is free to express his own individuality.
This is no small achievement for someone
who must deal each day with other people's
prejudices concerning the handicapped.
Most, though not all, relationships are im-
proved by the acquisition of a simian aide.
One participant spoke. of the mixed and
evolving reactions of her 7 part-time attend-
ants,
Two immediately loved H. (the monkey)
and thought she was a great help. Three

THE USE OF CAPUCHIN MONKEYS AS AIDES TO
QUADRIPLEGICS
BACKGROUND ON QUADRIPLEGICS
Recent medical progress has permitted
the survival of very severely disabled people
who, although totally paralyzed, have
normal cognitive and communication skills.
In many cases, severely disabled individuals
also have a normal life expectancy. The
most dramatic example Is the high level
spinal 'cord injured quadriplegic who is para-
lyzed, in varying degrees, from the shoul-
ders down. As of 1979, 'here were 75,000
spinal cord injured quadriplegics in the
United States. Eighty-two percent of them
were men and most were young. Fifty per-
cent were between the ages of 15 and 25 at
the time of their injury (Nat. Spinal Cord
Injury Data Research Center, 1979).
To live outside of a chronic -care institu-
tion, a high level quadriplegic typically re-
quires a minimum of four to six hours a day
of human help. The disabled individual usu-
ally receives this help from one or more
family members who must make idrastic
Changes in their own lives to provide it,
and/or from paid personal care attendants
(PCA). The relative or PCA assists with
tasks such as bathing; dressing, bowel and
bladder routines, household tasks, and
transfer into and out of a wheelchair.
In addition to these .essential tasks, which
are usually performed in the morning and
again at night, a high level quadriplegic
may require help to perform
