"We need to pass the 'Effective Death Penalty Appeals Act,' and quickly, before another potentially innocent American is executed."

"we are laying the groundwork for comprehensive reform of Federal habeas corpus."

"The writ of habeas corpus is one of the most fundamental safeguards in our Constitution to prevent the imprisonment and execution of innocent people."

"I thank Chairman Nadler for holding this important hearing and for his indispensable assistance in helping to develop H.R. 3986."
