Anti-terror bill passes Senate with tough curbs on appeals
The Senate approved a Republican version of President Clinton s counterterrorism bill 91 to 8 to curb habeas corpus appeals by death row inmates with tighter time limits and new authorities. The measure, backed by most Republicans, would expand wiretap powers, expand military use, add tracer elements to explosives, and authorize over 2 billion dollars over five years to bolster anti-terror efforts. The House planned action next week, signaling likely enactment by summer.
