“the majority party is delivering a message to those who commit crimes in our Nation that justice will be swift and certain. We must address the rising crime problems of the Nation and this Congress will pass a tough and decisive crime bill. The majority party is going further, and we are determined to head off crime before it occurs. After crime occurs, it is too late for the victims. Mr. Speaker, the majority party is determined to try every avenue to head crime off before it occurs. We want to send that message to the American people, and the American people are listening and they are hearing.”
