improvements to the Federal criminal laws. Significant parts of the
measure, such as sentencing reform, bail reform, insanity defense
amendments, drug penalty amendments, criminal forfeiture im-
provements, and numerous relatively minor amendments, have
evolved over the almost two-decade consideration of proposals to
enact a modern Federal criminal code.1 In addition, specialized
