> CLOTURE MOTION (Senate - June 05, 1995)
> Sen. FEINSTEIN
> 
> Mrs. FEINSTEIN. I meant `or.' I beg your pardon.
> 
> Mr. HATCH. Could the Senator change the `or' to an `and'?
> 
> Mrs. FEINSTEIN. I did not mean to. Did I?
> 
> Mr. HATCH. Yes.
> 
> Mrs. FEINSTEIN. I will change it to `intends or knows.'
> 
> Mr. HATCH. If I can just respond to the distinguished Senator from
> California, I would prefer `intends and knows' rather than `intends
> or knows' because I believe that can lead to some mischief in the
> criminal law. On the other hand, this was a narrow interpretation. I
> agree with the distinguished Senator from Delaware. I am not sure
> that you can catch them on a conspiracy statute in this area. I do
> not remember the law with regard to the explosives. But whether that
> is so or not, as I understand it, the word likely will be stricken
> in the amendment.
> 
> Mrs. FEINSTEIN. That is correct.
> 
> Mr. HATCH. Then I am prepared to accept the amendment.
> 
> Mr. BIDEN. Mr. President, parliamentary inquiry.
> 
> The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
> 
> Mr. BIDEN. Reserving the right to object, is the language `and' or
> is it `or'? If it is `or,' I have no objection.
> 
> The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the modification?
> 
> Mr. HATCH. I have no objection.
> 
> The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, the amendment is so
> modified.
> 
> The amendment (No. 1209), as modified, is as follows:
> 
> At the appropriate place in the bill, insert the following new
> section:
> 
> (a) Section 842 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by
> adding at the end the following new section:
> 
> `(l) It shall be unlawful for any person to teach or demonstrate the
> making of explosive materials, or to distribute by any means
> information pertaining to, in whole or in part, the manufacture of
> explosive materials, if the person intends or knows, that such
> explosive materials or information will be used for, or in
> furtherance of, an activity that constitutes a Federal criminal
> offense or a criminal purpose affecting interstate commerce.'
> 
> (b) Section 844 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by
> designating section (a) as subsection (a)(1) and by adding the
> following new subsection:
> 
> `(a)(2) Any person who violates subsection (l) of section 842 of
> this chapter shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more
> than twenty years, or both.'
> 
> Mr. HATCH. Mr. President, with that modification, I am prepared to
> accept the amendment, if the distinguished Senator from Delaware is
> likewise.
> 
> The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there further debate on the amendment?
> 
> Mr. BIDEN addressed the Chair.
> 
> The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Delaware.
> 
> Mr. BIDEN. For clarification purposes, and I think I will accept it,
> I want to read the entire amendment. It will take me one moment. It
> says:
> 
> Section (a) reads, `Section 842 of title 18, United States Code, is
> amended by adding at the end the following new section:
> 
> Subsection 1.
> 
> It shall be unlawful for any person to teach or demonstrate the
> making of explosive materials, or to distribute by any means
> information pertaining to, in whole or in part, the manufacture of
> explosive materials, if the person intends or knows that such
> explosive material or information will be used for, or in
> furtherance of, an activity that constitutes a Federal criminal
> offense or a criminal purpose affecting interstate commerce.
> 
> Subsection B.
> 
> Section 844 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by
> designating section (a) as subsection (a)(1), and by adding the
> following new subsection:
> 
> (a)(1), any person who violates subsection (1) of section 842 of
> this chapter shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more
> than 20 years, or both.
> 
> That is the end of the amendment. Is that correct?
> 
> Mrs. FEINSTEIN. The `1' is an `l'. It is a lower case.
> 
> Mr. BIDEN. I beg your pardon. In the last paragraph?
> 
> Mrs. FEINSTEIN. In the first paragraph and the last.
> 
> Mr. BIDEN. I beg your pardon. It is `l', and not `1.'
> 
> So it will read, the following new section `l', `It shall be
> unlawful for any person to teach or demonstrate the making of
> explosive material or to distribute by any means information
> pertaining to', et cetera. Then at the bottom paragraph, it reads
> `Any person who violates subsection l of this section.' Then that is
> how it reads, Mr. President?
