$   Speaker Gingrich said he would ask Congress to enact legislation imposing
$   the death penalty on drug smugglers, and suggested MASS EXECUTIONS of
$   people convicted under the law might prove an effective deterrent.

$   Mr. Gingrich told about 1,500 people at a youth football and cheerleading
$   jamboree, "And they'd have only one chance to appeal, then we'd kill them

On January 7, 1997, Gingrich introduced H.R. 41, "Drug Importer Death Penalty

United States '100 usual dosage amounts' of several illicit substances --
including two ounces of marijuana -- be sentenced to federal prison for life
without parole; a second offense brings the death penalty."
