On the recordFebruary 9, 1995
I very much sympathize with the case from Oklahoma, and I think someone who did something like that ought to serve his life in jail. But under the gentleman's proposal, unless that gentleman served 25,000 years, 85 percent of the 30,000-year sentence, they would not qualify under H.R. 3. And that is just the reason we would like to give the State of Oklahoma, a nice get-tough State, money with no strings attached so we could build prisons and build them quickly.
