2000

SEC. 1208. ESTABLISHMENT OF PROTECTIVE FUNCTION PRIVILEGE.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The physical safety of the Nation's top elected
officials is a public good of transcendent importance.
(2) By virtue of the critical importance of the Office of
the President, the President and those in direct line of the
Presidency are subject to unique and mortal jeopardy--jeopardy
that in turn threatens profound disruption to our system of
representative government and to the security and future of the
Nation.
(3) The physical safety of visiting heads of foreign states
and foreign governments is also a matter of paramount
importance. The assassination of such a person while on
American soil could have calamitous consequences for our
foreign relations and national security.
(4) Given these grave concerns, Congress has provided for
the Secret Service to protect the President and those in direct
line of the Presidency, and has directed that these officials
may not waive such protection. Congress has also provided for
the Secret Service to protect visiting heads of foreign states
and foreign governments.
(5) The protective strategy of the Secret Service depends
critically on the ability of its personnel to maintain close
and unremitting physical proximity to the protectee.
(6) Secret Service personnel must remain at the side of the
protectee on occasions of confidential conversations and, as a
result, may overhear top secret discussions, diplomatic
exchanges, sensitive conversations, and matters of personal
privacy.
(7) The necessary level of proximity can be maintained only
in an atmosphere of complete trust and confidence between the
protectee and his or her protectors.
(8) If a protectee has reason to doubt the confidentiality
of actions or conversations taken in sight or hearing of Secret
Service personnel, the protectee may seek to push the
protective envelope away or undermine it to the point at which
it could no longer be fully effective.
(9) The possibility that Secret Service personnel might be
compelled to testify against their protectees could induce
foreign nations to refuse Secret Service protection in future
state visits, making it impossible for the Secret Service to
fulfill its important statutory mission of protecting the life
and safety of foreign dignitaries.
(10) A privilege protecting information acquired by Secret
Service personnel while performing their protective function in
physical proximity to a protectee will preserve the security of
the protectee by lessening the incentive of the protectee to
distance Secret Service personnel in situations in which there
is some risk to the safety of the protectee.
(11) Recognition of a protective function privilege for the
President and those in direct line of the Presidency, and for
visiting heads of foreign states and foreign governments, will
promote sufficiently important interests to outweigh the need
for probative evidence.
(12) Because Secret Service personnel retain law
enforcement responsibility even while engaged in their
protective function, the privilege must be subject to a crime/
treason exception.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
(1) to facilitate the relationship of trust and confidence
between Secret Service personnel and certain protected
officials that is essential to the ability of the Secret
Service to protect these officials, and the Nation, from the
risk of assassination; and
(2) to ensure that Secret Service personnel are not
precluded from testifying in a criminal investigation or
prosecution about unlawful activity committed within their view
or hearing.
(c) Admissibility of Information Acquired by Secret Service
Personnel While Performing Their Protective Function.--
(1) Protective function privilege.--Chapter 203 of title
18, United States Code, is amended by inserting after section
3056 the following:
``Sec. 3056A. Testimony by Secret Service personnel; protective
function privilege
``(a) Definitions.--In this section:
``(1) Protectee.--The term `protectee' means--

during the performance of a protective function in physical proximity
to the protectee shall not be received in evidence or otherwise
disclosed in any trial, hearing, or other proceeding in or before any
court, grand jury, department, officer, agency, regulatory body, or
other authority of the United States, a State, or a political
subdivision thereof.
``(c) Exceptions.--There is no privilege under this section--
``(1) with respect to information that, at the time the
information was acquired by Secret Service personnel, was
sufficient to provide reasonable grounds to believe that a
crime had been, was being, or would be committed; or
``(2) if the privilege is waived by the protectee or the
legal representative of a protectee or deceased protectee.''.

inserting after the item relating to section 3056 the

SEC. 1402. CERTAIN PUNISHMENT AND GRADUATED SANCTIONS FOR YOUTH
OFFENDERS.
(a) Findings and Purposes.--
(1) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(A) youth violence constitutes a growing threat to
the national welfare requiring immediate and
comprehensive action by the Federal Government to
reduce and prevent youth violence;
(B) the behavior of youth who become violent
offenders often follows a progression, beginning with
aggressive behavior in school, truancy, and vandalism,
leading to property crimes and then serious violent
offenses;
(C) the juvenile justice systems in most States are
ill-equipped to provide meaningful sanctions to minor,
nonviolent offenders because most of their resources
are dedicated to dealing with more serious offenders;
(D) in most States, some youth commit multiple,
nonviolent offenses without facing any significant
criminal sanction;
(E) the failure to provide meaningful criminal
sanctions for first time, nonviolent offenders sends
the false message to youth that they can engage in
antisocial behavior without suffering any negative
consequences and that society is unwilling or unable to
restrain that behavior;
(F) studies demonstrate that interventions during
the early stages of a criminal career can halt the
progression to more serious, violent behavior; and
(G) juvenile courts need access to a range of
sentencing options so that at least some level of
sanction is imposed on all youth offenders, including
status offenders, and the severity of the sanctions
increase along with the seriousness of the offense.
(2) Purposes.--The purposes of this section are to
provide--
(A) assistance to State and local juvenile courts
to expand the range of sentencing options for first
time, nonviolent offenders; and
(B) a selection of graduated sanctions for more
serious offenses.
(b) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) First time offender.--The term ``first time offender''
means a juvenile against whom formal charges have not
previously been filed in any Federal or State judicial
proceeding.
(2) Nonviolent offender.--The term ``nonviolent offender''
means a juvenile who is charged with an offense that does not
involve the use of force against the person of another.
(3) Status offender.--The term ``status offender'' means a
juvenile who is charged with an offense that would not be
criminal if committed by an adult (other than an offense that
constitutes a violation of a valid court order or a violation
of section 922(x) of title 18, United States Code (or similar
State law)).
(c) Grant Authorization.--The Attorney General may make grants in
accordance with this section to States, State courts, local courts,
units of local government, and Indian tribes, for the purposes of--
(1) providing juvenile courts with a range of sentencing
options such that first time juvenile offenders, including
status offenders such as truants, vandals, and juveniles in
violation of State or local curfew laws, face at least some
level of punishment as a result of their initial contact with
the juvenile justice system; and
(2) increasing the sentencing options available to juvenile
court judges so that juvenile offenders receive increasingly
severe sanctions--
(A) as the seriousness of their unlawful conduct
increases; and
(B) for each additional offense.
(d) Applications.--
(1) Eligibility.--In order to be eligible to receive a

supervise status offenders and nonviolent offenders to
ensure that sanctions are enforced;

training and work opportunities for status offenders
and nonviolent offenders; and

criminal sanctions, to reduce the likelihood of further
criminal behavior.

Subtitle F--Offender Reentry and Community Safety
SEC. 1601. SHORT TITLE.
This subtitle may be cited as the ``Offender Reentry and Community
Safety Act of 2001''.
SEC. 1602. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) There are now nearly 1,900,000 individuals in our
country's prisons and jails, including over 140,000 individuals
under the jurisdiction of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
(2) Enforcement of offender violations of conditions of
releases has sharply increased the number of offenders who
return to prison--while revocations comprised 17 percent of
State prison admissions in 1980, they rose to 36 percent in
1998.
(3) Although prisoners generally are serving longer
sentences than they did a decade ago, most eventually reenter
communities; for example, in 1999, approximately 538,000 State
prisoners and over 50,000 Federal prisoners, a record number,
were returned to American communities. Approximately 100,000
State offenders who returned to communities received no
supervision whatsoever.
(4) Historically, two-thirds of returning State prisoners
have been rearrested for new crimes within three years, so
these individuals pose a significant public safety risk and a
continuing financial burden to society.
(5) A key element to effective post-incarceration
supervision is an immediate, predetermined, and appropriate
response to violations of the conditions of supervision.
(6) An estimated 187,000 State and Federal prison inmates
have been diagnosed with mental health problems; about 70
percent of State prisoners and 57 percent of Federal prisoners
have a history of drug use or abuse; and nearly 75 percent of
released offenders with heroin or cocaine problems return to
using drugs within three months if untreated; however, few
States link prison mental health treatment programs with those
in the return community.
(7) Between 1987 and 1997, the volume of juvenile
adjudicated cases resulting in court-ordered residential
placements rose 56 percent. In 1997 alone, there were a total
of 163,200 juvenile court-ordered residential placements. The
steady increase of youth exiting residential placement has
strained the juvenile justice aftercare system, however,
without adequate supervision and services, youth are likely to
relapse, recidivate, and return to confinement at the public's
expense.
(8) Emerging technologies and multidisciplinary community-
based strategies present new opportunities to alleviate the
public safety risk posed by released prisoners while helping
offenders to reenter their communities successfully.
SEC. 1603. PURPOSES.
The purposes of this subtitle are to--
(1) establish demonstration projects in several Federal
judicial districts, the District of Columbia, and in the
Federal Bureau of Prisons, using new strategies and emerging
technologies that alleviate the public safety risk posed by
released prisoners by promoting their successful reintegration
into the community;
(2) establish court-based programs to monitor the return of
offenders into communities, using court sanctions to promote
positive behavior;
(3) establish offender reentry demonstration projects in
the states using government and community partnerships
2000
to
coordinate cost efficient strategies that ensure public safety
and enhance the successful reentry into communities of
offenders who have completed their prison sentences;
(4) establish intensive aftercare demonstration projects
that address public safety and ensure the special reentry needs
of juvenile offenders by coordinating the resources of juvenile
correctional agencies, juvenile courts, juvenile parole
agencies, law enforcement agencies, social service providers,
and local Workforce Investment Boards; and
(5) rigorously evaluate these reentry programs to determine
their effectiveness in reducing recidivism and promoting
successful offender reintegration.

``(h) Temporary Scheduling To Avoid Imminent Hazards to Public
Safety.--
``(1) In general.--If the Attorney General finds that the
control of a substance on a temporary basis is necessary to
avoid an imminent hazard to the public safety, the Attorney
General may, by order and without regard to the requirements of
subsection (b) of this section relating to the Secretary of
Health and Human Services, and without regard to the findings
required under section 202(b) (21 U.S.C. 812(b)), temporarily
schedule such substance in accordance with this subsection if
no approval is in effect for the substance under section 505(i)
of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (hereafter in this
subsection referred to as the FDC Act) (21 U.S.C. 355(i)).

for which an investigational new drug exemption is in
effect under section 505(i) of the FDC Act, the
temporary scheduling order shall place such substance
in schedule I.

which an investigational new drug exemption is in
effect under section 505(i) of the FDC Act, the
temporary scheduling order shall place such substance
in schedule II, subject to the conditions set forth in
paragraph (6) of this subsection.
``(C) A temporary scheduling order, or order
renewing such order, may not take effect before the
expiration of thirty days from--
``(i) the date of the publication by the
Attorney General of a notice in the Federal
Register of the intention to issue such order
and the grounds upon which such order is to be
issued; and
``(ii) the date the Attorney General has
transmitted the notice required by paragraph
(4).
``(2) Duration of temporary scheduling; renewal of
orders.--
``(A) A temporary scheduling order issued under
subparagraph (1)(A) of this subsection shall expire at
the end of one year from the effective date of the
order, except that the Attorney General may, during the
pendency of proceedings under subsection (a)(1) of this
section with respect to the substance, extend the
temporary scheduling order for up to six months.
``(B) A temporary scheduling order issued under
subparagraph (1)(B) of this subsection shall expire at
the end of 18 months from the effective date of the
order, except that, if the Attorney General determines
that continuation of the temporary scheduling order is
necessary to avoid an imminent hazard to the
public safety, the Attorney General may issue a renewal order, 30 days
prior to expiration of the temporary scheduling order, extending the
original order for an additional 18 months, provided the following
conditions are met--
``(i) an exemption with respect to such
substance remains in effect under section
505(i) of the FDC Act; and--

actively pursuing the clinical investigation of
the substance.
The Secretary shall certify to the Attorney General
whether or not each of conditions (i) and (ii) continue

which the temporary scheduling order is scheduled to a
expire. As long as both conditions continue to be met,
the Attorney General may, every 18 months, continue to
issue orders renewing the temporary scheduling of a
particular substance. If either of the foregoing
conditions are no longer met for a particular
substance, the temporary scheduling of that substance
may not be renewed and shall expire 12 months after the
date on which such condition fails to be met, except

proceedings under subsection (a)(l) of this section
with respect to the substance, extend the temporary
scheduling for an additional six months.

an imminent hazard to the public safety, only those factors set
forth in paragraphs (4), (5), and (6) of subsection (c) of this
section, including actual abuse, diversion from legitimate
channels, and clandestine importation, manufacture, or
distribution.

services.--The Attorney General shall transmit notice of an
order proposed to be issued under paragraph (1) to the
Secretary of Health and Human Services. In issuing an order
under paragraph (1), the Attorney General shall take into

proceeding initiated under subsection (a) of this section with

temporary scheduling, any person who manufactures,

same requirements of this subchapter that were in
effect prior to the temporary scheduling.

temporarily scheduled under subparagraph (l)(B) of this
subsection that was not controlled under this
subchapter prior to its temporary scheduling, any
person who manufactures, distributes, dispenses,
possesses, or uses such substance within the scope of

shall subject a violator to applicable
penalties under Part D of this subchapter, in

investigation of a new drug for which a research
exemption is in effect under section 505(i) of the FDC
Act with respect to such substance shall be required to

scheduling order with respect to the substance, and by
the end of each succeeding six month period, that such
person is able to account for the location and use of
all quantities of such substance that are or have been
manufactured, distributed, dispensed, possessed, or
used under such exemption on or before the date of such
certification.
``(D) In the case of a substance that is
temporarily scheduled under subparagraph (1)(B) of this
subsection, the disclosure of the existence of an
exemption under section 505(i) of the FDC Act with
respect to such substance shall not be considered to be
disclosure prohibited by section 301(j) of the FDC Act
or section 1905 of title 18 of the United States Code.
``(E) The manufacture, possession, distribution, or
use of such substance within the scope of such
exception shall not be subject to any requirements or
penalty under State or local law more stringent than
the provisions of this chapter or other applicable
Federal law.
``(7) Judicial review.--An order issued under paragraph (1)
is not subject to judicial review, except that a renewal order
issued under subparagraph (2)(B) of this subsection is subject
to judicial review in accordance with section 507 (21 U.S.C.

``(2) Any such importation, transfer or transshipment of a listed
chemical shall be subject to all the requirements of section 1018 of
this title, except that in no case shall the 15-day advance
notification requirement be waived. The importation, transfer,

substance or listed chemical until the suspension order becomes final.

General for appropriate disposition; all costs associated with
this disposition will be the responsibility of the title
holder, however if there are any proceeds from the disposition,
these will be applied to the repayment of the costs and any
excess proceeds will be returned to the titleholder;

controlled substances or listed chemicals (or proceeds of sale
deposited in court) may be forfeited to the United States
pursuant to section 511 of title II and may be disposed of in
accordance with that section.
``(e) Nothing in this section may be used by any party to defend
against a forfeiture action against a shipment of controlled substances
or listed chemicals initiated by the United States or by any state.
This section does not affect the liability of any party for storage and
transportation costs incurred by the Government as a result of the
suspension of a shipment.''.

SEC. 3302. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The number of older Americans is growing both
numerically and proportionally in the United States. Since
1990, the population of seniors has increased by almost
5,000,000, and is now 20.2 percent of the United States
population.
(2) In 1997, 7 percent of victims of serious violent crime
were age 50 or older.
(3) In 1997, 17.7 percent of murder victims were age 55 or
older.
(4) According to the National Crime Victimization Survey,
persons aged 50 and older experienced approximately 673,460
incidents of violent crime, including rape and sexual assaults,
robberies and general assaults, during 1997.
(5) Older victims of violent crime are almost twice as
likely as younger victims to be raped, robbed, or assaulted at
or in their own homes.
(6) Approximately half of Americans who are 50 years old or
older feel afraid to walk alone at night in their own
neighborhoods.
(7) Seniors over the age of 50 reportedly account for 37
percent of the estimated $40,000,000,000 in losses each year
due to telemarketing fraud.
(8) In 1998, Congress enacted legislation to provide for
increased penalties for telemarketing fraud that targets
seniors.
(9) There has not been a comprehensive study of crimes
committed against seniors since 1994.
(10) It has been estimated that approximately 43 percent of
those turning 65 can expect to spend some time in a long-term
care facility, and approximately 20 percent can expect to spend
5 years or longer in a such a facility.
(11) In 1997, approximately $82,800,000,000 was spent on
nursing home care in the United States and over half of this
amount was spent by the medicaid and medicare programs.
(12) Losses to fraud and abuse in health care reportedly
cost the United States an estimated $100,000,000,000 in 1996.
(13) The Inspector General for the Department of Health and
Human Services has estimated that about $12,600,000,000 in
improper medicare benefit payments, due to inadvertent mistake,
fraud and abuse, were made during fiscal year 1998.
(14) Incidents of health care fraud and abuse remain high
despite awareness of the problem.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this subtitle are to--
(1) combat nursing home fraud and abuse;
(2) enhance safeguards for pension plans and health care
programs;
(3) develop strategies for preventing and punishing crimes
that target or otherwise disproportionately affect seniors by
collecting appropriate data to measure the extent of crimes
committed against seniors and determine the extent of domestic
and elder abuse of seniors; and
(4) prevent and deter criminal activity, such as
telemarketing fraud, that results in economic and physical harm
against seniors and ensure appropriate restitution.

PART 3--JUMP AHEAD
SEC. 4231. SHORT TITLE.
This part may be cited as the ``JUMP Ahead Act of 2001''.
SEC. 4232. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that--
(1) millions of young people in America live in areas in
which drug use and violent and property crimes are pervasive;
(2) unfortunately, many of these same young people come
from single parent homes, or from environments in which there
is no responsible, caring adult supervision;
(3) all children and adolescents need caring adults in
their lives, and mentoring is an effective way to fill this
special need for at-risk children;
(4) the special bond of commitment fostered by the mutual
respect inherent in effective mentoring can be the tie that
binds a young person to a better future;
(5) through a mentoring relationship, adult volunteers and
participating youth make a significant commitment of time and
energy to develop relationships devoted to personal, academic,
or career development and social, artistic, or athletic growth;
(6) rigorous independent studies have confirmed that
effective mentoring programs can significantly reduce and
prevent the use of alcohol and drugs by young people, improve
school attendance and performance, improve peer and family and
peer relationships, and reduce violent behavior;
(7) since the inception of the Federal JUMP program, dozens
of innovative, effective mentoring programs have received
funding grants;
(8) unfortunately, despite the recent growth in public and
private mentoring initiatives, it is reported that between
5,000,000 and 15,000,000 additional children in the United
States could benefit from being matched with a mentor; and
(9) although great strides have been made in reaching at-
risk youth since the inception of the JUMP program, millions of
vulnerable American children are not being reached, and without
an increased commitment to connect these young people to
responsible adult role models, our country risks losing an
entire generation to drugs, crime, and unproductive lives.
SEC. 4233. JUVENILE MENTORING GRANTS.
(a) In General.--Section 288B of the Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5667e-2) is amended--

mentoring models for the purpose of evaluating the
effectiveness and efficiency of those models;
(B) allows for innovative programs designed under

PART 4--TRUANCY PREVENTION
SEC. 4241. SHORT TITLE.
This part may be cited as the ``Truancy Prevention and Juvenile
Crime Reduction Act of 2001''.
SEC. 4242. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Truancy is often the first sign of trouble--the first
indicator that a young person is giving up and losing his or
her way.
(2) Many students who become truant eventually drop out of
school, and high school drop outs are two and a half times more
likely to be on welfare than high school graduates, twice as
likely to be unemployed, or if employed, earn lower salaries.
(3) Truancy is the top-ranking characteristic of
criminals--more common than such factors as coming from single-
parent families and being abused as children.
(4) High rates of truancy are linked to high daytime
burglary rates and high vandalism.
(5) As much as 44 percent of violent juvenile crime takes
place during school hours.
(6) As many as 75 percent of children ages 13 to 16 who are
arrested and prosecuted for crimes are truants.
(7) Some cities report as many as 70 percent of daily
student absences are unexcused, and the total number of
absences in a single city can reach 4,000 per day.
(8) Society pays a significant social and economic cost due
to truancy: only 34 percent of inmates have completed high
school education; 17 percent of youth under age 18 entering
adult prisons have not completed grade school (8th grade or
less), 25 percent completed 10th grade, and 2 percent completed
high school.
(9) Truants and later high school drop outs cost the Nation
$240,000,000,000 in lost earnings and foregone taxes over their
lifetimes, and the cost of crime control is staggering.
(10) In many instances, parents are unaware a child is
truant.
(11) Effective truancy prevention, early intervention, and
accountability programs can improve school attendance and
reduce daytime crime rates.
(12) There is a lack of targeted funding for effective
truancy prevention programs in current law.
