On the recordMarch 13, 1996
I think terrorists who kill ought to die, and they ought not to linger for 16 or 17 years. That is why habeas corpus is in there. I commend the text of the bill to my friend. He said one cabinet officer can come up with a list of terrorist organizations. No, it is the Secretary of State in conjunction with the Attorney General. That is two, the last time I looked. They come up with the evidence, they submit it to Congress, the facts behind it, and a judicial review is available to the organization or the person.
