They have no equal in Senate-passed S. 2845 . . The provisions are largely devoted to increasing the penalties for various existing terrorist\ncrimes and increasing the jurisdictional circumstances under which they may be prosecuted under\nfederal law. The provisions include \u201clone wolf\u201d FISA and grand jury information\nsharing\namendments; increased penalties for hoaxes and obstructions of justice in terrorism cases, for\nidentification offenses, and for smuggling aliens; clarification and expansion of terrorist support\noffenses, crimes involving weapons of mass destruction, and counterfeiting offenses.\n \n Moreover, the provisions increase the penalties and expand the jurisdictional reach of federal\ncrimes barring the production, traffic in, and use as terrorist weapons of anti-aircraft missiles, atomic\nweapons, radiological dispersal devices, and smallpox virus. They merge the train wrecking and\nmass transit attacks proscriptions of existing law. They establish capital punishment as a permissible\nsanction for those existing federal terrorist crimes resulting in death that do not already carry the\ndeath penalty, deny federal benefits to terrorists, and make the 1994 death penalty procedures\nretroactively applicable to certain air piracy offenses committed after enactment of the 1974 capital\npunishment procedures. They establish a no-bail presumption for terrorists and subject terrorists to\npost-imprisonment supervision for life. \n \n This report will be revised as appropriate and is available in an abridged version as CRS Report RS21952(pdf) , The 9/11 Recommendations Implementation Act: An Abridged Comparison of H.R.\n 10 and S. 2845 as Passed by Their Respective Houses .", "type": "CRS Report", "typeId": "REPORTS", "active": false, "formats": [ { "format": "PDF", "encoding": null, "url": "http://www.crs.gov/Reports/pdf/RL32632", "sha1": "ab46354f6776ce8f806042696547daadcef20efb", "filename": "files/20041012_RL32632_ab46354f6776ce8f806042696547daadcef20efb.pdf", "images": null }, { "format": "HTML", "filename": "files/20041012_RL32632_ab46354f6776ce8f806042696547daadcef20efb.html" } ], "topics": [] } ], "topics": [ "American Law", "Intelligence and National Security" ] }
