REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE
THE FBI CRIME REPORT for 1972 again shows the na
tion’s cities to be crime-ridden and people report that they are
afraid to walk the streets of even their own neighborhoods.
The entire country is suffering from a deadly rash of dis
respect for the law and too-easy treatment of those who violate
the law. For too long, innocent, law-abiding citizens have been
defiled and terrorized by crime involving guns and drugs.
* * *
I INTRODUCED, and the Senate adopted by an overwhelm
ing vote of 81-12, major anti-crime legislation to crack down
on hard drug pushers and the criminal use of firearms.
Most crimes involve either guns or drugs. Accordingly, I feel
that the best way to cut back on these crimes is to assure
offenders of swift, certain, and stiff punishment. That is what
my legislation sets out to do.
It is aimed at the hard-core, non-addict pushers who sell
heroin and morphine to the people of this country and lead
them into lives of crime and degradation. It attacks the criminal
use of firearms in an effort to control the man that uses a gun,
and not to try to legislate against firearms themselves.
My legislation provides a possible sentence of 5-15 years for
using a firearm in the commission of a federal felony, in addi
tion to whatever sentence is handed out for the crime com
mitted. Second offenders would receive a mandatory extra
10-30 years, to be served consecutively with no suspended sen
tences or probation. The purpose is to legislate against the
criminal, and not against an inanimate object, such as a gun.
A second provision of my legislation brands pushers of
heroin and morphine, who are not addicts themselves, as “pub
lic menaces.” Upon such a “public menace” finding by the
court, a first offender would get an extra 10-30 year sentence
added to his original sentence, to be served consecutively, with
no probation, suspension or parole. Second and subsequent
offenders would get life imprisonment, with parole possible
only after 30 years. The bill covers the illegal sale or manu
facture of any substance containing at least one-tenth of an
ounce of pure heroin or morphine.
* * *
THIS IS HARSH treatment. But considering the suffering
of innocent victims of crime, it might not seem harsh enough.
During Senate debate, there were efforts to send my legislation
back to Committee. I resisted, pointing out that provisions of
this nature would have been studied and debated ad infinitum,
and it is time to put up or shut up on crime.
