“We are delighted to find that the gentleman is moving right along. Now, Mr. Chairman, for the law lesson. These have to come on the Committee on the Judiciary, between lawyers. All right, class, turn to title 18, U.S.C. 111. What you will find is that the murder penalty exists for a whole list of crimes. Also, class, turn to 18 U.S.C. 119, the murder penalty. Also, class, turn to 18 U.S.C., and staffers for Members, turn to that, also, 18 U.S.C. 1117. The last lesson for the afternoon, turn finally to 18 U.S.C. 1114. OK. What do these four laws provide? Murder, in the first instance, willful, deliberate, and premeditated killing will get you the death penalty, I say to the gentleman from Illinois [Mr. Hyde], and my Republican friends, in the United States of America. It will also, under the second title I cited, for foreign murder of U.S. nationals, that will get the death penalty. You can also get the death penalty--not whether we like it or how we voted for it, what our philosophy is, this is the law. Conspiracy to murder will get you the death penalty. Also, the murder of an officer or employee of the United States, my fourth illustration, will get you the death penalty.”
