person connected with a farm caused, aided, or acquiesced in any 
irregularity described in paragraph (1), the next established farm 
marketing quota shall not be reduced under this subsection.

addition to any other adjustments made pursuant to this section.

by the owner displaced by acquisition of the owner's land by any 
agency, as provided in section 378 of this Act, increases or decreases 
in such farm marketing quotas as provided in this section shall be made

this section may (except in the case of kinds of tobacco not subject to

under section 508 to producers of agricultural commodities grown in the 
United States, the Corporation shall make available four levels of 
insurance coverage against losses in yields of the insured commodity:
            ``(1) Level i.--Coverage level I shall be available only to 
        those producers who do not purchase insurance at coverage 
        levels II, III, or IV and shall provide for the indemnification 
        of those producers for losses in yield to the extent that such 
        losses exceed 65 percent of the determined yield of the 
        commodity for the farm, as established under subsection (b).
            ``(2) Levels ii, iii, and iv.--Coverage levels II, III, and 
        IV shall provide for the indemnification of producers for those 
        losses in yield to the extent that such losses exceed 50, 35, 
        and 25 percent, respectively, of--
                    ``(A) the average proven yield on the farm for a 
                representative period based on the actual production 
                history of the farm, as determined from the producer's 
                records; or
                    ``(B) if such records are not available or are 
                insufficient, the recorded or appraised average yield 
                of the commodity on the farm for a representative 
                period, subject to such adjustments as the Board may 
                prescribe to ensure that the average yield for farms in 
                the same area, which are subject to the same 
                conditions, are fair and just.
    ``(b) Determined Yield.--For purposes of subsection (a)(1), the 
determined yield for a commodity shall be equal to--
            ``(1) in the case of a crop of any commodity for which the 
        Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service establishes 
        a yield for the farm, the yield so established; and
            ``(2) in the case of a crop of any other commodity, the 
        recorded or appraised average yield of the commodity on the 
        farm for a representative period, subject to such adjustments 
        as the Board may prescribe to ensure that the average yield for 
        farms in the same area, which are subject to the same 
        conditions, are fair and just.
    ``(c) Use of ASCS Yield.--If the Agricultural Stabilization and 
Conservation Service has established a yield for a crop of a commodity 
for a farm and such yield is higher than the yield determined for the 
farm under subsection (a)(2) for coverage levels II, III, or IV, the 
producer may elect to use such higher yield for purpose of coverage 
levels II, III, and IV. Use of such higher yield shall be subject to an 
additional premium for the coverage at such a rate as the Board 
determines appropriate to accurately reflect the increased risk 
involved and that the Board determines to be actuarially sufficient to 
cover claims for losses on such insurance and to establish a reasonable 
reserve against unforeseen losses. No premium subsidy or administrative 
subsidy may be provided by the Corporation in connection with any 
additional coverage provided under this subsection.
    ``(d) Price Elections.--The Corporation shall establish a high and 
low price election for each agricultural commodity for which insurance 
is available under this title. The high price shall not be less than 
the projected market price of the commodity. Coverage levels II, III, 
and IV shall be available to producers at any price election that is 
equal to or less than the high price election and shall be quoted in 
terms of dollars per acre coverage that may be purchased. Coverage 
level I shall be offered only at the low price election.
    ``(e) Coverage and Price Information.--The Corporation shall ensure 
that each producer is provided accurate and adequate information at the 
time of application regarding the amount of coverage available at each 
level of coverage for the commodity to be insured and the cost to the 
producer for such coverage.
    ``(f) Annual Report.--The Corporation shall report annually to the 
Congress the results of its operations regarding each commodity for 
which insurance is available under this title. The report shall include 
for each insured commodity a description of operations under this 
section at each level of coverage.''.
    (b) Premium Payment.--Subsection (e)(3) of section 508 of the 
Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1508) is amended to read as 
follows:
    ``(3) For the purpose of encouraging the broadest possible 
participation in the crop insurance program, the Corporation shall 
pay--
            ``(A) with respect to each policy providing for coverage 
        level I, the full amount of the premium for such coverage; and
            ``(B) with respect to each policy providing for coverage 
        level II, III, or IV, the portion of the premium that is equal 
        to the amount that would have been paid under subparagraph (A) 
        if the producer had elected coverage level I.''.
    (c) Reinsurance.--Subsection (h) of section 508 of the Federal Crop 
Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1508) is amended to read as follows:
    ``(h) Reinsurance.--The Corporation shall provide reinsurance, to 
the maximum extent practicable, upon such terms and conditions as the 
Board may determine to be consistent with subsections (a) and (b) and 
with sound reinsurance principles promulgated pursuant to the Office of 
Federal Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 401, et seq.), which the 
Board shall modify as necessary to conform to the purposes of this Act, 
taking into account the expenses of the Corporation paid on its own 
policies of insurance. Reinsurance shall be provided to insurers 
including private insurance companies or pools of such companies, 
reinsurers of such companies, or State or local governmental entities, 
including any political subdivisions thereof, that insure producers of 
any agricultural commodity under a plan or plans acceptable to the 
Corporation. However, in the case of the sale of coverage level I 
policies only (but not for the processing and adjustment of claims on 
those policies), contractors of the Corporation shall be paid only $50 
per policy, of which $25.50 shall be paid by the policyholder at the 
time of application and $24.50 shall be paid by the Corporation. 
Whenever the Corporation provides reinsurance under this subsection to 
any such insurers, the Corporation shall pay (as provided in subsection 
(e)) the portion of the producer's premium for such insurance so 
reinsured. Insurers of policies on which reinsurance is provided shall 
make use of licensed private insurance agents and brokers on the same 
basis as provided for policies of the Corporation under section 
507(c)(3) of this title, except that the provisions for compensating 
agents and brokers from premiums paid by the insured shall not apply. 
The Corporation shall periodically revise its reinsurance agreement 
with the reinsured companies to provide for the reinsured companies to 
bear an increased share of any potential loss under such agreement, in 
cases in which the financial conditions of the reinsured companies and 
the availability of private reinsurance so permits.''.
    (d) Application of Amendments.--The amendments made by this section 
shall apply beginning with crops to be harvested in 1995.

SEC. 4002. FEDERAL DIRECT STUDENT LOAN PROGRAM.

    Part D of title IV of the Act (20 U.S.C. 1087a et seq.) is amended 
to read as follows:

             ``PART D--FEDERAL DIRECT STUDENT LOAN PROGRAM

``SEC. 451. PURPOSE; PROGRAM AUTHORIZATION.

    ``(a) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this part--
            ``(1) to simplify the delivery of student loans to 
        borrowers and eliminate borrower confusion;
            ``(2) to provide a variety of repayment plans, including 
        income contingent repayment through the EXCEL Account, to 
        borrowers so that they have flexibility in managing their 
        student loan repayment obligations, and so that those 
        obligations do not foreclose community service-oriented career 
        choices for those borrowers;
            ``(3) to replace, through an orderly transition, the 
        Federal Family Education Loan Program under part B of this 
        title with the Federal Direct Student Loan Program under this 
        part;
            ``(4) to avoid the unnecessary cost, to taxpayers and 
        borrowers, and administrative complexity associated with the 
        Federal Family Education Loan Program under part B of this 
        title through the use of a direct student loan program; and
            ``(5) to create a more streamlined student loan program 
        that can be managed more effectively at the Federal level.
    ``(b) Program Authority.--There are hereby made available, in 
accordance with the provisions of this part, such sums as may be 
necessary to make loans to all eligible students in attendance at 
participating institutions of higher education selected by the 
Secretary (and the eligible parents of such students), to enable such 
students to pursue their courses of study at such institutions during 
the period beginning July 1, 1994. Such loans shall be made by 
participating institutions that have agreements with the Secretary to 
originate loans, or by alternative originators designated by the 
Secretary to make loans for students in attendance at participating 
institutions (and their parents).

``SEC. 452. FUNDS FOR ORIGINATION OF DIRECT STUDENT LOANS.

    ``(a) In General.--The Secretary shall provide, on the basis of the 
need and the eligibility of students at each participating institution, 
and parents of such students, for such loans, funds for student and 
parent loans under this part--
            ``(1) directly to an institution of higher education that 
        has an agreement with the Secretary under section 454(a) to 
        participate in the direct student loan programs under this part 
        and that also has an agreement with the Secretary under section 
        454(b) to originate loans under this part, or
            ``(2) through an alternative originator designated by the 
        Secretary to students and parents of students attending 
        institutions of higher education that have an agreement with 
        the Secretary under section 454(a) but that do not have an 
        agreement with the Secretary under section 454(b).
    ``(b) Fees for Origination Services.--
            ``(1) Fees for institutions.--The Secretary shall pay fees 
        to institutions of higher education (or a consortium of such 
        institutions) with agreements under section 454(b), in an 
        amount established by the Secretary, to assist in meeting the 
        costs of loan origination. Such fees--
                    ``(A) shall be paid by the Secretary based on all 
                the loans made under this part to a particular borrower 
                in the same academic year;
                    ``(B) shall be subject to a sliding scale that 
                decreases the amount of such fees as the number of 
                borrowers increases; and
                    ``(C)(i) for academic year 1994-1995, shall not 
                exceed a program-wide average of $10 per borrower for 
                all the loans made under this part in the same academic 
                year; and
                    ``(ii) for succeeding academic years, shall not 
                exceed such average fee as the Secretary shall 
                establish in regulations.
            ``(2) Fees for alternative originators.--The Secretary 
        shall pay fees for loan origination services to alternative 
        originators of loans made under this part in an amount 
        established by the Secretary in accordance with the terms of 
        the contract between the Secretary and each such alternative 
        originator.
    ``(c) No Entitlement To Participate or Originate.--No institution 
of higher education shall have a right to participate in the programs 
authorized by this part, to originate loans, or to perform any program 
function under this part. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed 
so as to limit the entitlement of an eligible student attending a 
participating institution (or the eligible parent of such student) to 
borrow under this part.

``SEC. 453. SELECTION OF INSTITUTIONS FOR PARTICIPATION AND 
              ORIGINATION.

    ``(a) Phase-in of Program.--

        454(b) with institutions of higher education to originate loans 
        in such programs, for academic years beginning on or after July 
        1, 1994. Alternative origination services, through which an 
        entity other than the participating institution at which the 
        student is in attendance originates the loan, shall be provided 
        by the Secretary, through one or more contracts under section 
        456 or such other means as the Secretary may provide, for 
        students attending participating institutions that do not 
        originate direct student loans under this part. Such agreements 
        for the first year of the program shall, to the extent 
        feasible, be entered into not later than January 1, 1994.
            ``(2) Transition provisions.--In order to ensure an 
        expeditious but orderly transition from the loan programs under 
        part B of this title to the direct student loan programs under 
        this part, the Secretary shall, in the exercise of his or her 
        discretion, determine the number of institutions with which he 
        or she shall enter into agreements under sections 454 (a) and 
        (b) for any academic year, except that the Secretary shall 
        exercise such discretion so as to achieve the following goals:
                    ``(A) for academic year 1994-1995, loans made under 
                this part shall represent 4 percent of the sum of new 
                student loan volume under this part and part B of this 
                title;

                student loan volume under this part and part B of this 
                title.
            ``(3) Cash management.--The requirements of the Cash 
        Management Improvement Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-453) shall 
        apply to the program under this part only to the extent

        Education and the Treasury, except that such schedule shall

        repayment of such loan, including principal and interest on the

        penalty, repayment on his or her loans. The borrower may 
        choose--

                annual repayment amount paid over a fixed period of 
                time, consistent with subsection (a)(1) of this 
                section;

                time, provided that any of the borrower's scheduled 
                payments shall not be less than 50 percent, nor more 
                than 150 percent, of what the amortized payment on the

                standard repayment plan; and

                amounts based on the income of the borrower, paid over 
                an extended period of time, not to exceed a maximum 
                length of time determined by the Secretary.
            ``(2) Selection by secretary.--If a borrower of a loan made 
        under this part does not select a repayment plan described in 
        paragraph (1), the Secretary may provide the borrower with a 
        repayment plan described in subparagraph (A), (B), or (C) of 
        paragraph (1).
            ``(3) Changes in selections.--The borrower of a loan made 
        under this part may change his or her selection of a repayment 
        plan under paragraph (1), or the Secretary's selection of a 
        plan for the borrower under paragraph (2), as the case may be, 
        under such terms and conditions as may be established by the 
        Secretary.
            ``(4) Alternative repayment plans.--The Secretary may 
        provide, on a case-by-case basis, an alternative repayment plan 
        to a borrower of a loan under this part who demonstrates to the 
        satisfaction of the Secretary that the terms and conditions of 
        the repayment plans available under paragraph (1) are not 
        adequate to accommodate the borrower's exceptional 
        circumstances. In designing such alternative repayment plans, 
        the Secretary shall ensure that such plans do not exceed the 
        cost to the Federal Government, as determined on the basis of 
        the present value of future payments by such borrowers, of 
        loans made using the plans available under paragraph (1).
            ``(5) Repayment after default.--The Secretary may require

        such information as is reasonably necessary regarding the 
        income of a borrower (and the borrower's spouse, if applicable) 
        of a loan made under this part that is, or may be, repaid 
        pursuant to an EXCEL Account for the purpose of determining the 
        annual repayment obligation of the borrower. Return and return 
        information (as defined in section 6103 of the Internal Revenue 
        Code of 1986) may be obtained under the preceding sentence only 
        to the extent authorized by section 6103(l)(13) of such Code. 
        The Secretary shall establish procedures for determining the 
        borrower's repayment obligation on that loan for such year, and 
        such other procedures as are necessary to implement effectively 
        repayment pursuant to an EXCEL Account.
            ``(2) Repayment based on adjusted gross income.--A 
        repayment schedule for a loan made under this part and repaid 
        pursuant to an EXCEL Account shall be based on adjusted gross 
        income (as defined in section 62 of the Internal Revenue Code 
        of 1986, 26 U.S.C. 62) of the borrower or, if the borrower is 
        married and files a Federal income tax return jointly with his 
        or her spouse, on adjusted gross income of the borrower and his 
        or her spouse.
            ``(3) Additional documents.--A borrower who chooses, or is 
        required, to repay a loan made under this part pursuant to an 
        EXCEL Account, and for whom adjusted gross income is 
        unavailable or does not reasonably reflect his or her current 
        income, shall provide to the Secretary other documentation of 
        income satisfactory to the Secretary, which documentation the 
        Secretary may use to determine an appropriate repayment 
        schedule.
            ``(4) Repayment schedules.--EXCEL Account repayment 
        schedules shall be established by the Secretary through 
        regulations and shall require payments measured as a percentage 
        of the appropriate portion of the annual income of the borrower 
        (and the borrower's spouse, if applicable) as determined by the 
        Secretary.
            ``(5) Calculation of balance due.--The balance due on a 
        loan made under this part that is repaid pursuant to an EXCEL 
        Account shall equal the unpaid principal amount of the loan, 
        any accrued interest, and any fees, such as late charges, 
        assessed on such loan. The Secretary may limit by regulation 
        the amount of interest that may be capitalized on such loan, 
        and the timing of any such capitalization.
            ``(6) Notification to borrowers.--The Secretary shall 
        establish procedures under which a borrower of a loan made 
        under this part who chooses or is required to repay such loan 
        pursuant to an EXCEL Account is notified of the terms and 
        conditions of such plan, including notification of such 
        borrower--
                    ``(A) that the Internal Revenue Service will 
                disclose to the Secretary tax return information as 
                authorized under section 6103(l)(13) of the Internal 
                Revenue Code of 1986; and
                    ``(B) that if a borrower considers that special 
                circumstances, such as a loss of employment by the 
                borrower or his or her spouse, warrant an adjustment in 
                the borrower's loan repayment as determined using the 
                information described in subparagraph (A), or the 
                alternative documentation described in paragraph (3), 
                the borrower may contact the Secretary, who shall 
                determine whether such adjustment is appropriate, in 
                accordance with criteria established by the Secretary.

education that participates in the program under this part and is 
located in that State according to a fee structure, approved by the 
Secretary, that is based on the institution's cohort default rate and 
the State's risk of loss under this subsection. Such fee structure

default rate is exempt from any fees under this paragraph if such 
institution demonstrates to the satisfaction of the State that 
exceptional mitigating circumstances, as determined by the State and 
approved by the Secretary, contributed to its cohort default rate.''.

                            (ii) 1 year after the date the NAIC or the

                        scheduled to meet in 1994 in a legislative 
                        session in which such legislation may be

                State that has a 2-year legislative session, each year

        paragraph:
            ``(5) Requirements for formularies.--A State may establish 
        a formulary only if the following requirements are met:
                    ``(A) The formulary is established by a committee 
                consisting of physicians, pharmacists, and other 
                appropriate individuals appointed by the Governor of 
                the State (or, at the option of the State, the State's 
                drug use review board established under subsection

                prescribed use is not approved under the Federal Food, 
                Drug, and Cosmetic Act but is a medically accepted 
                indication, based on information from the appropriate 
                compendia described in subsection (k)(6)), that the 
                excluded drug does not have a significant, clinically

                written explanation of its decision that is available 
                to the public, unless the decision was made at a 
                meeting of the committee which was open to the public.

                committee's decision to exclude a covered outpatient 
                drug from the formulary under subparagraph (C) on the 
                ground that the decision was arbitrary and capricious, 
                in accordance with an appeals process that is 
                established by the State and that provides an 
                opportunity for judicial review of such decision.

                (4).

                as the Secretary may impose.''.

SEC. 5201. SHORT TITLE.

    This chapter may be cited as the ``Licensing Improvement Act of 
1993''.

SEC. 5202. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) current licensing procedures often delay delivery of 
        services to the public and can result in the unjust enrichment 
        of applicants on the basis of the value of the public airwaves;
            (2) if licensees are engaged in reselling the use of the 
        public airwaves to subscribers for a fee, the licensee should 
        pay reasonable compensation to the public for those public 
        resources;
            (3) a carefully designed system to obtain competitive bids 
        from competing qualified applicants can speed delivery of 
        services, promote efficient and intensive use of the 
        electromagnetic spectrum, prevent unjust enrichment, and 
        produce revenues to compensate the public for the use of the 
        public airwaves; and
            (4) therefore, the Federal Communications Commission should 
        have the authority to differentiate among multiple qualified 
        applicants for a single license using a system of competitive 
        bids.

SEC. 5203. AUTHORITY TO USE COMPETITIVE BIDDING.

    Section 309 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 309) is 
amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:
    ``(j) Use of Competitive Bidding.--
            ``(1) General authority.--If mutually exclusive 
        applications are filed for any initial license or construction 
        permit which will involve a use of the electromagnetic spectrum 
        described in paragraph (2), then the Commission shall have the 
        authority to grant such license or permit to a qualified 
        applicant through the use of a system of competitive bidding 
        that meets the requirements of this subsection.
            ``(2) Uses to which bidding may apply.--A use of the 
        electromagnetic spectrum is described in this paragraph if the 
        Commission determines that--
                    ``(A) the principal use of such spectrum will 
                involve, or is reasonably likely to involve, the 
                licensee receiving compensation from subscribers in 
                return--
                            ``(i) for the licensee enabling those 
                        subscribers to receive communications signals 
                        that are transmitted utilizing frequencies on 
                        which the licensee is licensed to operate; or
                            ``(ii) for the licensee enabling those 
                        subscribers to transmit directly communications 
                        signals utilizing frequencies on which the 
                        licensee is licensed to operate; and
                    ``(B) a system of competitive bidding will promote 
                the objectives described in paragraph (3).
            ``(3) Design of systems of competitive bidding.--For each 
        license or permit, or class of licenses or permits, that the 
        Commission grants through the use of a competitive bidding 
        system, the Commission shall, by rule, establish a competitive 
        bidding methodology. The Commission shall seek to design and 
        test multiple alternative methodologies under appropriate 
        circumstances. In identifying licenses and permits to be issued 
        by competitive bidding, in specifying eligibility and other 
        characteristics of such licenses and permits, and in designing 
        the methodologies for use under this subsection, the Commission 
        shall seek to promote the purposes specified in section 1 of 
        this Act and the following objectives:
                    ``(A) the development and rapid deployment of new 
                technologies, products, and services for the benefit of 
                the public, including those residing in rural areas, 
                without administrative or judicial delays;
                    ``(B) promoting economic opportunity and 
                competition and ensuring that new and innovative 
                technologies are readily accessible to the American 
                people by avoiding excessive concentration of licenses 
                and by disseminating licenses among a wide variety of 
                applicants, including small businesses and businesses 
                owned by members of minority groups and women;
                    ``(C) recovery for the public of a portion of the 
                value of the public spectrum resource made available 
                for commercial use and avoidance of unjust enrichment 
                through the methods employed to award uses of that 
                resource; and
                    ``(D) efficient and intensive use of the 
                electromagnetic spectrum.
            ``(4) Contents of regulations.--In prescribing rules 
        pursuant to paragraph (3), the Commission shall--

                areas, to prevent stockpiling or warehousing of 
                spectrum by licensees or permittees, and to promote 
                investment in and rapid deployment of new technologies 
                and services;

                prescribe area designations and bandwidth assignments 
                that promote (i) an equitable distribution of licenses 
                and services among geographic areas, (ii) economic 
                opportunity for a wide variety of applicants, including 
                small businesses and businesses owned by members of 
                minority groups and women, and (iii) investment in and 
                rapid deployment of new technologies and services; and

                antitrafficking restrictions and payment schedules as 
                may be necessary to prevent unjust enrichment as a 
                result of the methods employed to issue licenses and 
                permits.
            ``(5) Bidder and licensee qualification.--No person shall 
        be permitted to participate in a system of competitive bidding 
        pursuant to this subsection unless such bidder submits such 
        information and assurances as the Commission may require to 
        demonstrate that such bidder's application is acceptable for 
        filing. No license shall be granted to an applicant selected 
        pursuant to this subsection unless the Commission determines 
        that the applicant is qualified pursuant to subsection (a) and 
        sections 308(b) and 310. Consistent with the objectives 
        described in paragraph (3), the Commission shall, by rule, 
        prescribe expedited procedures consistent with the procedures 
        authorized by subsection (i)(2) for the resolution of any 
        substantial and material issues of fact concerning

                same service that were not issued pursuant to this 
                subsection; or
                    ``(C) be construed to prohibit the Commission from 
                issuing nationwide licenses or permits.

        issued pursuant to this subsection, and in prescribing 
        regulations pursuant to paragraph (4)(A) and (4)(C) of this

SEC. 5205. REGULATORY PARITY.

    (a) Amendment.--Section 332 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 
U.S.C. 332) is amended--
            (1) by striking ``private land'' from the heading of the 
        section; and
            (2) by amending striking subsection (c) and inserting the 
        following:
    ``(c) Regulatory Treatment of Mobile Services.--
            ``(1) Common carrier treatment of commercial mobile 
        services.--(A) A person engaged in the provision of commercial 
        mobile services shall, insofar as such person is so engaged, be 
        treated as a common carrier for purposes of this Act, except 
        for such provisions of title II as the Commission may, 
        consistent with the public interest, specify as inapplicable by 
        rule. In prescribing any such rule, the Commission may not 
        specify section 201, 202, or 208, or any other provision that 
        the Commission determines to be necessary in order to ensure 
        that the charges, practices, classifications, or regulations 
        for or in connection with commercial mobile services are just 
        and reasonable and are not unjustly or unreasonably 
        discriminatory or is otherwise in the public interest.
            ``(B) Upon reasonable request of any person providing 
        commercial mobile service, the Commission shall order a common 
        carrier to establish physical connections with such service 
        pursuant to the provisions of section 201 of this Act. Except 
        to the extent that the Commission is required to respond to 
        such a request, this subparagraph shall not be construed as a 
        limitation or expansion of the Commission's authority to order 
        interconnection pursuant to this Act.
            ``(2) Noncommon carrier treatment of private land mobile 
        services.--A person engaged in private land mobile service 
        shall not, insofar as such person is so engaged, be treated as 
        a common carrier for any purpose under this Act. A common 
        carrier (other than a person that was treated as provider of 
        private land mobile services prior to the enactment of the 
        Licensing Improvement Act of 1993) shall not provide any 
        dispatch service on any frequency allocated for common carrier 
        service, except to the extent such dispatch service is provided 
        on stations licensed in the domestic public land mobile radio 
        service before January 1, 1982. The Commission may by 
        regulation terminate, in whole or in part, the prohibition 
        contained in the preceding sentence if the Commission 
        determines that such termination will serve the public 
        interest.

        sections 2(b) and 221(b), no State or local government shall 
        have any authority to impose any rate or entry regulation upon 
        any commercial mobile service or any private land mobile 
        service, except that this paragraph shall not prohibit a State 
        from regulating the other terms and conditions of commercial 
        mobile services.
            ``(B) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), a State may 
        petition the Commission for authority to regulate the rates for 
        any commercial mobile service and the Commission shall grant 
        such petition if such State demonstrates that (i) such service 
        is a substitute for land line telephone exchange service for a 
        substantial portion of the public within such State, or (ii) 
        market conditions with respect to such services fail to protect 
        subscribers adequately from unjust and unreasonable rates or 
        rates that are unjustly or unreasonably discriminatory. The 
        Commission shall provide reasonable opportunity for public 
        comment in response to such petition, and shall, within 9 
        months after the date of its submission, grant or deny such 
        petition. If the Commission grants such petition, the 
        Commission shall authorize the State to exercise under State 
        law such authority over rates, for such periods of time, as the 
        Commission deems necessary to ensure that such rates are just 
        and reasonable and not unjustly or unreasonably discriminatory.
            ``(4) Regulatory treatment of communications satellite 
        corporation.--Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to 
        alter or affect the regulatory treatment required by title IV 
        of the Communications Satellite of 1962 of the corporation 
        authorized by title III of such Act.
    ``(d) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--

        services (as defined in section 3(n)) that--

SEC. 5221. SHORT TITLE.

    This chapter may be cited as the ``Emerging Telecommunications 
Technologies Act of 1993''.

SEC. 5222. AMENDMENT TO THE NATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION 
              ADMINISTRATION ORGANIZATION ACT.

    The National Telecommunications and Information Administration 
Organization Act is amended--
            (1) by striking the heading of part B and inserting the 
        following:

             ``PART D--SPECIAL AND TEMPORARY PROVISIONS'';

            (2) by redesignating sections 131 through 135 as sections 
        151 through 155, respectively; and
            (3) by inserting after part A the following new part:

           ``PART B--EMERGING TELECOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGIES

``SEC. 111. FINDINGS.

    ``The Congress finds that--
            ``(1) the Federal Government currently reserves for its own 
        use, or has priority of access to, approximately 40 percent of 
        the electromagnetic spectrum that is assigned for use pursuant 
        to the Communications Act of 1934;
            ``(2) many of such frequencies are underutilized by Federal 
        Government licensees;
            ``(3) the public interest requires that many of such 
        frequencies be utilized more efficiently by Federal Government 
        and non-Federal licensees;
            ``(4) additional frequencies are assigned for services that 
        could be obtained more efficiently from commercial carriers or 
        other vendors;
            ``(5) scarcity of assignable frequencies for licensing by 
        the Commission can and will--
                    ``(A) impede the development and commercialization 
                of new telecommunications products and services;
                    ``(B) limit the capacity and efficiency of the 
                United States telecommunications systems;
                    ``(C) prevent some State and local police, fire, 
                and emergency services from obtaining urgently needed 
                radio channels; and
                    ``(D) adversely affect the productive capacity and 
                international competitiveness of the United States 
                economy;
            ``(6) a reassignment of these frequencies can produce 
        significant economic returns; and
            ``(7) the Secretary of Commerce, the President, and the 
        Federal Communications Commission should be directed to take 
        appropriate steps to correct these deficiencies.

``SEC. 112. NATIONAL SPECTRUM PLANNING.

    ``(a) Planning Activities.--The Assistant Secretary and the 
Chairman of the Commission shall meet, at least biannually, to conduct 
joint spectrum planning with respect to the following issues--
            ``(1) the future spectrum requirements for public and 
        private uses, including State and local government public 
        safety agencies;
            ``(2) the spectrum allocation actions necessary to 
        accommodate those uses; and
            ``(3) actions necessary to promote the efficient use of the 
        spectrum, including spectrum management techniques to promote 
        increased shared use of the spectrum that does not cause 
        harmful interference as a means of increasing commercial 
        access.
    ``(b) Reports.--The Assistant Secretary and the Chairman of the 
Commission shall submit a joint annual report to the Committee on 
Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives, the Committee on 
Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate, the Secretary, and 
the Commission on the joint spectrum planning activities conducted 
under subsection (a) and recommendations for action developed pursuant 
to such activities.
    ``(c) Reporting Requirements.--The first annual report submitted 
after the date of the report by the advisory committee under section 
113(d)(4) shall--
            ``(1) include an analysis of and response to that committee 
        report; and
            ``(2) include an analysis of the effect on spectrum 
        efficiency and the cost of equipment to Federal spectrum users 
        of maintaining separate allocations for Federal Government and 
        non-Federal Government licensees for the same or similar 
        services.

``SEC. 113. IDENTIFICATION OF REALLOCABLE FREQUENCIES.

    ``(a) Identification Required.--The Secretary shall, within 24 
months after the date of the enactment of this part, prepare and submit 
to the President and the Congress a report identifying bands of 
frequencies that--
            ``(1) are allocated on a primary basis for Federal 
        Government use and eligible for licensing pursuant to section 
        305(a) of the Act (47 U.S.C. 305(a));
            ``(2) are not required for the present or identifiable 
        future needs of the Federal Government;
            ``(3) can feasibly be made available, as of the date of 
        submission of the report or at any time during the next 15 
        years, for use under the Act (other than for Federal Government 
        stations under such section 305);
            ``(4) will not result in costs to the Federal Government, 
        or losses of services or benefits to the public, that are 
        excessive in relation to the benefits that may be obtained by 
        non-Federal licensees; and
            ``(5) are most likely to have the greatest potential for 
        productive uses and public benefits under the Act.
    ``(b) Minimum Amount of Spectrum Recommended.--
            ``(1) In general.--Based on the report required by 
        subsection (a), the Secretary shall recommend for reallocation, 
        for use other than by Federal Government stations under section 
        305 of the Act (47 U.S.C. 305), bands of frequencies that span 
        a total of not less than 200 megahertz, that are located below 
        6 gigahertz, and that meet the criteria specified in paragraphs 
        (1) through (4) of subsection (a). The Secretary may not 
        include, in such 200 megahertz, bands of frequencies that span 
        more than 20 megahertz and that are located between 5 and 6 
        gigahertz. If the report identifies (as meeting such criteria) 
        bands of frequencies spanning more than 200 megahertz, the 
        report shall identify and recommend for reallocation those 
        bands (spanning not less than 200 megahertz) that meet the 
        criteria specified in paragraph (5) of such subsection.
            ``(2) Mixed uses permitted to be counted.--Bands of 
        frequencies which the Secretary's report recommends be 
        partially retained for use by Federal Government stations, but 
        which are also recommended to be reallocated to be made 
        available under the Act for use by non-Federal stations, may be 
        counted toward the minimum spectrum required by paragraph (1) 
        of this subsection, except that--
                    ``(A) the bands of frequencies counted under this 
                paragraph may not count toward more than one-half of 
                the minimum required by paragraph (1) of this 
                subsection;
                    ``(B) a band of frequencies may not be counted 
                under this paragraph unless the assignments of the band 
                to Federal Government stations under section 305 of the 
                Act (47 U.S.C. 305) are limited by geographic area, by 
                time, or by other means so as to guarantee that the 
                potential use to be made by such Federal Government 
                stations is substantially less (as measured by 
                geographic area, time, or otherwise) than the potential 
                use to be made by non-Federal stations; and
                    ``(C) the operational sharing permitted under this 
                paragraph shall be subject to coordination procedures 
                which the Commission shall establish and implement to 
                ensure against harmful interference.
    ``(c) Criteria for Identification.--
            ``(1) Needs of the federal government.--In determining 
        whether a band of frequencies meets the criteria specified in 
        subsection (a)(2), the Secretary shall--
                    ``(A) consider whether the band of frequencies is 
                used to provide a communications service that is or 
                could be available from a commercial carrier or other 
                vendor;

                            ``(i) the maximum practicable reliance on 
                        commercially available substitutes;
                            ``(ii) the sharing of frequencies (as 
                        permitted under subsection (b)(2));
                            ``(iii) the development and use of new 
                        communications technologies; and
                            ``(iv) the use of nonradiating 
                        communications systems where practicable; and
                    ``(C) seek to avoid--

                        Government and users of Federal Government 
                        services.
            ``(2) Feasibility of use.--In determining whether a 
        frequency band meets the criteria specified in subsection 
        (a)(3), the Secretary shall--
                    ``(A) assume such frequencies will be assigned by 
                the Commission under section 303 of the Act (47 U.S.C. 
                303) over the course of not less than 15 years;

                progress and growth of demand for telecommunications 
                services;

                reallocation or reassignment will relieve actual or 
                potential scarcity of frequencies available for 
                licensing by the Commission for non-Federal use;

                reestablish services displaced by the reallocation of 
                spectrum.
            ``(3) Analysis of benefits.--In determining whether a band 
        of frequencies meets the criteria specified in subsection 
        (a)(4), the Secretary shall consider--
                    ``(A) the extent to which equipment is or will be 
                available that is capable of utilizing the band;
                    ``(B) the proximity of frequencies that are already 
                assigned for commercial or other non-Federal use; and

                making frequencies available for experimentation or 
                commercial assignments in order to support their 
                domestic manufacturers of equipment.

                eligible for mixed use under subsection (b)(2) in 
                geographically separate areas and shall not be 
                recommended for the purposes of withdrawing that 
                assignment. In any case where a frequency is to be 
                shared by an affected Federal power agency and a non-
                Federal user, such use by the non-Federal user shall,

SEC. 8002. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON THE INLAND WATERWAYS FUEL TAX.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Administration has proposed to increase the tax on 
        inland barge fuels from $0.19 to $1.19 per gallon by 1997, 
        which represents an increase of 525 percent.
            (2) The General Accounting Office has recently identified 
        117 forms of Federal fees, taxes, and assessments, not 
        including customs duties, which raise some $2,000,000,000 in 
        Federal revenues each year.
            (3) Barge transportation is one of the most competitive, 
        efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly modes of 
        transportation.
            (4) Barges transport 15 percent of our Nation's commerce 
        and provide jobs to some 180,000 Americans.
            (5) The Administration's proposed increase would add 
        $420,000,000 in new taxes for operators on inland waterways, 
        which is more than their pretax profits.
            (6) This increase would cause barge rates to skyrocket, 
        increasing costs to consumers and devastating industries 
        dependent upon the commercial use of barges such as coal, 
        agriculture, and petrochemicals, and would add to our 
        unfavorable balance of trade payments by hurting the 
        competitiveness of United States exports.
            (7) Because the price of certain agricultural commodities, 
        such as grain, are set in the world marketplace, increased 
        inland barge fuel taxes could not be passed on to consumers and 
        would largely be borne by our Nation's farmers.
            (8) The Senate on March 18, 1993, voted 88 to 12 to reject 
        any further increase in inland barge fuel taxes.
            (9) This huge tax increase would cause many barge companies 
        to go out of business, would result in thousands of lost 
        American jobs, and would further burden the already beleaguered 
        United States maritime industry.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that the 
inland waterways fuel tax should not be further increased beyond those 
increases already mandated by law.

                of the Northern Mariana Islands, shall submit a report 
                describing the effective revenue burden (including all

                        sufficient to meet the infrastructure needs of 
                        the Commonwealth; and

                made by the government of the Commonwealth in response 
                to those recommendations.

                Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, shall 
                submit a report which assesses whether--
                            (i) the minimum wage policies of the 
                        Commonwealth are sufficient for the maintenance 
                        of the minimum standard of living necessary for 
                        health, efficiency, and general well-being of 
                        workers in the Commonwealth;
                            (ii) the prevailing wages paid in the 
                        Commonwealth are effectively reduced by the 
                        immigration policy of the Commonwealth; and
                            (iii) the wage rate in the Commonwealth 
                        gives industries in the Commonwealth a 
                        competitive advantage over industries in the 
                        United States outside of the Commonwealth.
                    (D) Immigration policy and burden on 
                infrastructure.--(i) The Attorney General of the United

                submit a report which assesses--
                            (I) whether the immigration laws of the 
                        Commonwealth are appropriate in light of the 
                        social and economic situation in the

                    (A) the construction and operation of Federal 
                reclamation projects have contributed to the depletion 
                of streams, the alteration of riparian habitat, and the 
                degradation of water quality;
                    (B) such impacts have had adverse impacts on fish 
                and wildlife resources; and
                    (C) the restoration of fish and wildlife and 
                related habitat affected by the construction or 
                operation of Federal reclamation projects is a

                requirements of such projects;
                    (B) establish a fair and equitable mechanism for 
                securing timely payments from the beneficiaries of such 
                projects for the implementation, operation, and 
                maintenance of fish and wildlife restoration measures;
                    (C) accelerate the rate of restoration and recovery 
                of depleted populations of indigenous fish and 
                wildlife; and
                    (D) encourage more efficient use of water resources

        prescribe, pay to the United States an operation and 
        maintenance charge sufficient to yield at least $10,000,000

shall be reviewed (and revised if necessary) not less frequently than 
every 3 years. The Secretary shall deposit all fees collected under

        of mail or kind of mailer involved were last adjusted.
            ``(2) Any temporary rate established under this section 
        shall take effect upon such date as the Postal Service may

        of postage for a particular class of mail or kind of mailer, 
        except as provided in paragraph (5).
            ``(5) Nothing in paragraph (4) shall prevent an adjustment 
        under this section in rates for a class of mail or kind of 
        mailer with respect to which any rates took effect under this 
        section earlier in the same fiscal year if--

``SEC. 1130. EFFECT OF FAILURE TO CARRY OUT STATE PLAN.

    ``In an action brought to enforce a provision of the Social 
Security Act, such provision is not to be deemed unenforceable because 
of its inclusion in a section of the Act requiring a State plan or 
specifying the required contents of a State plan. This section is not 
intended to limit or expand the grounds for determining the 
availability of private actions to enforce State plan requirements 
other than by overturning any such grounds applied in Suter v. Artist 
M., 112 S. Ct. 1360 (1992), but not applied in prior Supreme Court 
decisions respecting such enforceability: Provided, however, That this 
section is not intended to alter the holding in Suter v. Artist M. that 
section 471(a)(15) of the Act is not enforceable in a private right of 
action.''.
    (b) Applicability.--The amendment made by subsection (a) shall 
apply to actions pending on the date of the enactment of this Act and 
to actions brought on or after such date of enactment.

                child, and under which such a voluntary acknowledgment

        Government to reduce the rate at which, and the degree to 
        which, families depend on income from welfare programs, and the 
        duration of welfare participation, to assist families toward 
        self-sufficiency, and to increase the living standards of low-
        income families, consistent with other essential national 
        goals;
            (2) it is the policy of the United States to strengthen 
        families and improve the life prospects of their children, to 
        ensure that children grow up in families that are economically 
        self-sufficient, and to underscore the responsibility of 
        parents to support their children;
            (3) the Federal Government should help welfare recipients 
        as well as individuals at risk of welfare participation to 
        improve their education and job skills, to obtain access to 
        high quality child care and other necessary support services, 
        and to take such other steps as may assist them to meet their 
        responsibilities to become financially independent; and
            (4) it is the purpose of this section to provide the public 
        with generally accepted measures of welfare participation so 
        that the public can track such participation over time and 
        determine whether progress is being made in reducing the rate 
        at which, and the degree to which, families depend on income 
        from welfare programs, and the duration of welfare 
        participation.

                        which, families depend on income from welfare

                        patient to a hospital for such services

                year that does not exceed 72 hours; and

        shall not be considered to be out of compliance with the

        the enactment of this Act, the National Association of 
        Insurance Commissioners (in this subsection referred to as the

        and to delete from section 15C the exception which begins with

        of that Regulation for the purposes of section 1882 of the 
        Social Security Act.
            (3) Secretary standards.--If the NAIC does not make the 
        modifications described in paragraph (2) within the period 
        specified in such paragraph, the Secretary of Health and Human 
        Services shall make the modifications described in such

                earlier of--
                            (i) the date the State changes its statutes 
                        or regulations to conform its regulatory 
                        program to the changes made by this section, or
                            (ii) 1 year after the date the NAIC or the 
                        Secretary first makes the modifications under 
                        paragraph (2) or (3), respectively.
                    (B) Additional legislative action required.--In the 
                case of a State which the Secretary identifies as--
                            (i) requiring State legislation (other than 
                        legislation appropriating funds) to conform its 
                        regulatory program to the changes made in this 
                        section, but
                            (ii) having a legislature which is not 
                        scheduled to meet in 1994 in a legislative 
                        session in which such legislation may be 
                        considered,
                the date specified in this paragraph is the first day 
                of the first calendar quarter beginning after the close 
                of the first legislative session of the State 
                legislature that begins on or after January 1, 1994. 
                For purposes of the previous sentence, in the case of a 
                State that has a 2-year legislative session, each year 
                of such session shall be deemed to be a separate 
                regular session of the State legislature.

                        assistance as taxable for purposes of any 
                        employment tax and as a result of such

                        which equal or exceed the increase referred to

        fixed-weight gross domestic product price index for a fiscal 
        year divided by the average index for the prior fiscal year.
            ``(3) IMF funding.--If for any fiscal year an appropriation 
        is enacted to provide to the International Monetary Fund the 
        dollar equivalent, in terms of Special Drawing Rights, of the 
        increase in the United States quota, the limit on discretionary 
        new budget authority shall be increased by the amount of that 
        appropriation.

        appropriations are enacted for fiscal year 1994 or 1995 that 
        provide new budget authority or result in outlays greater than

        each fiscal year shall be adjusted by the net costs for that 
        year of the appropriation made under section 601 of Public Law

        expiring multiyear subsidized housing contracts or providing 
        contracts to replace units lost due to prepayments differ from 
        the amounts in OMB's baseline of February 1993.

        appropriations are enacted that are designated as emergency 
        requirements by statute, the adjustment shall be the amount of 
        those appropriations that the President also designates in 
        writing as emergency requirements and the outlays estimated to 
        flow therefrom in each fiscal year. If any amount previously 
        designated as an emergency requirement is rescinded, the 
        adjustment shall be the amount of that rescission and the

                subsection (d)(1)(A), if necessary), the adjustment in

        discretionary new budget authority and outlays enacted into law

        VI of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 as in effect

                under existing law, has authority to obligate 
                indefinite amounts, if the change results from a change 
                in law.''.
            (3) Repeal paragraph (9), redesignate paragraphs (3) 
        through (8) as paragraphs (4) through (9), and insert after 
        paragraph (2) the following new paragraph:
            ``(3) Deficit impact number (or surplus impact number).--
        The term `deficit impact number' (or `surplus impact number') 
        means, with respect to a fiscal year, the change in the deficit 
        (or surplus) that may be caused by any combination of increases 
        or decreases in direct spending and revenue assumed by the most 
        recently agreed to concurrent resolution to be enacted in the 
        current session of Congress and allocated to a committee. An 
        impact number greater than zero increases the deficit (or 
        decreases the surplus) and an impact number less than zero 
        decreases the deficit (or increases the surplus).''.
            (4) Amend paragraph (6) (as redesignated) by inserting 
        before the period the following: ``, and the term 
        `appropriation measure' means a general or supplemental 
        appropriation bill or a joint resolution making continuing 
        appropriations, but not yet enacted into law''.
            (5) At the end, add the following new paragraph:
            ``(11) The term `new credit authority' means credit 
        authority not provided by law as of February 1, 1986, including 
        any increase in or addition to credit authority provided by law 
        on such date.''.

following--
            ``(1) totals of new budget authority and budget outlays;
            ``(2) total Federal revenues and the amount, if any, by 
        which the aggregate level of Federal revenues should be 
        increased or decreased by bills and resolutions to be reported

            ``(6) for purposes of Senate enforcement under this title, 
        outlays of the old-age, survivors, and disability insurance 
        program established under title II of the Social Security Act 
        for the fiscal year of the resolution and for each of the 4 
        succeeding fiscal years; and
            ``(7) for purposes of Senate enforcement under this title, 
        revenues of the old-age, survivors, and disability insurance 
        program established under title II of the Social Security Act 
        (and the related provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 
        1986) for the fiscal year of the resolution and for each of the 
        4 succeeding fiscal years.
Except to the extent required by paragraphs (6) and (7), the concurrent 
resolution shall not include the outlays and revenue totals of the old 
age, survivors, and disability insurance program established under 
title II of the Social Security Act or the related provisions of the 
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 in the surplus or deficit totals required 
by this subsection or in any other surplus or deficit totals required 
by this title. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the receipts 
and disbursements of the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund shall be 
included in the computations required by paragraphs (1) through (5), 
and no separate display of Hospital Insurance Trust Fund receipts or

        for purposes of rule XLIX of the Rules of the House of 
        Representatives; and

        procedures, relating to the budget, as may be appropriate to 
        carry out the purposes of this Act.

of Changing any Rule of the House of Representatives.--If the Committee 
on the Budget of the House of Representatives reports any concurrent 
resolution on the budget which includes any procedure or matter which 
has the effect of changing any rule of the House of Representatives, 
such concurrent resolution shall then be referred to the Committee on 
Rules with instructions to report it within five calendar days (not 
counting any day on which the House is not in session). The Committee 
on Rules shall have jurisdiction to report any concurrent resolution 
referred to it under this paragraph with an amendment or amendments 
changing or striking out any such procedure or matter.
    ``(d) Views and Estimates of Other Committees.--Within 6 weeks 
after the President submits a budget under section 1105(a) of title 31, 
United States Code, each committee of the House of Representatives 
having legislative jurisdiction may submit to the Committee on the 
Budget of the House and each committee of the Senate having legislative 
jurisdiction may submit to the Committee on the Budget of the Senate 
its views and estimates (as determined by the committee making such 
submission) with respect to all matters set forth in subsections (a) 
and (b) which relate to matters within the jurisdiction or functions of 
such committee. The Joint Economic Committee shall submit to the 
Committees on the Budget of both Houses its recommendations as to the 
fiscal policy appropriate to the goals of the Employment Act of 1946. 
Any other committee of the House of Representatives or the Senate may 
submit to the Committee on the Budget of its House, and any joint 
committee of the Congress may submit to the Committees on the Budget of 
both Houses, its views and estimates with respect to all matters set 
forth in subsections (a) and (b) which relate to matters within its 
jurisdiction or functions.
    ``(e) Hearings and Report.--In developing the concurrent resolution 
on the budget referred to in subsection (a) for each fiscal year, the 
Committee on the Budget of each House shall hold hearings and shall 
receive testimony from Members of Congress and such appropriate 
representatives of Federal departments and agencies, the general 
public, and national organizations as the committee deems desirable. 
Each of the recommendations as to short-term and medium-term goals set 
forth in the report submitted by the members of the Joint Economic 
Committee under subsection (d) may be considered by the Committee on 
the Budget of each House as part of its consideration of such 
concurrent resolution, and its report may reflect its views thereon, 
including its views on how the estimates of revenues and total levels 
of new budget authority and outlays set forth in such concurrent 
resolution are designed to achieve any economic goals it is 
recommending. The report accompanying such concurrent resolution shall 
include, but not be limited to--
            ``(1) a comparison of revenues estimated by the committee 
        with those estimated in the budget submitted by the President;

        budget outlays and total new budget authority as set forth in 
        such concurrent resolution with those estimated or requested in 
        the budget submitted by the President;
            ``(3) with respect to each major functional category, an 
        estimate of budget outlays and an appropriate level of new 
        budget authority for all proposed programs and for all existing 
        programs (including renewals thereof), with the estimate and 
        level for existing programs being divided between permanent 
        authority and funds provided in appropriation Acts, and with 
        each such division being subdivided between controllable 
        amounts and all other amounts;
            ``(4) an allocation of the level of Federal revenues 
        recommended in the concurrent resolution among the major 
        sources of such revenues;
            ``(5) the economic assumptions and objectives which 
        underlie each of the matters set forth in such concurrent 
        resolution and any alternative economic assumptions and 
        objectives which the committee considered;
            ``(6) the estimated levels of tax expenditures (the tax 
        expenditures budget) by major functional categories;
            ``(7) a statement of any significant changes in the 
        proposed levels of Federal assistance to State and local 
        governments;
            ``(8) information, data, and comparisons indicating the 
        manner in which, and the basis on which, the committee 
        determined each of the matters set forth in the concurrent 
        resolution; and

    ``(f) Achievement of Goals for Reducing Unemployment.--
            ``(1) If, pursuant to section 4(c) of the Employment Act of 
        1946, the President recommends in the Economic Report that the 
        goals for reducing unemployment set forth in section 4(b) of 
        such Act be achieved in a year after the close of the five-year 
        period prescribed by such subsection, the concurrent resolution 
        on the budget for the fiscal year beginning after the date on 
        which such Economic Report is received by the Congress may set 
        forth the year in which, in the opinion of the Congress, such 
        goals can be achieved.
            ``(2) After the Congress has expressed its opinion pursuant 
        to paragraph (1) as to the year in which the goals for reducing 
        unemployment set forth in section 4(b) of the Employment Act of 
        1946 can be achieved, if, pursuant to section 4(e) of such Act, 
        the President recommends in the Economic Report that such goals 
        be achieved in a year which is different from the year in which 
        the Congress has expressed its opinion that such goals should 
        be achieved, either in its action pursuant to paragraph (1) or 
        in its most recent action pursuant to this paragraph, the 
        concurrent resolution on the budget for the fiscal year 
        beginning after the date on which such Economic Report is 
        received by the Congress may set forth the year in which, in 
        the opinion of the Congress, such goals can be achieved.
    ``(g) Economic Assumptions.--
            ``(1) It shall not be in order in the Senate to consider 
        any concurrent resolution on the budget for a fiscal year, or 
        any amendment thereto, or any conference report thereon, that 
        sets forth amounts and levels that are determined on the basis 
        of more than one set of economic and technical assumptions.
            ``(2) The joint explanatory statement accompanying a 
        conference report on a concurrent resolution on the budget 
        shall set forth the common economic assumptions upon which such 
        joint statement and conference report are based, or upon which 
        any amendment contained in the joint explanatory statement to 
        be proposed by the conferees in the case of technical 
        disagreement, is based.
            ``(3) Determinations by the Committee on the Budget of the 
        House of Representatives or the Senate, as the case may be, 
        under titles III and IV of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 
        shall be based upon such common economic and technical 
        assumptions.
    ``(h) Budget Committees Consultation With Committees.--The 
Committee on the Budget of the House of Representatives shall consult 
with the committees of its House having legislative jurisdiction during 
the preparation, consideration, and enforcement of the concurrent 
resolution on the budget with respect to all matters which relate to 
the jurisdiction or functions of such committees. The Committee on the 
Budget of the House of Representatives may not report a concurrent 
resolution on the budget containing the matter referred to in 
subsection (b)(3) except after consultation with the Committee on Ways 
and Means about that matter.
    ``(i) Social Security Point of Order in the Senate.--It shall not 
be in order in the Senate to consider any concurrent resolution on the 
budget as reported to the Senate or any amendment thereto that would 
decrease the excess of social security revenues over social security 
outlays in any of the fiscal years covered by the concurrent 
resolution. No change in chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 
shall be treated as affecting the amount of social security revenues 
unless such provision changes the income tax treatment of social 
security benefits.

``SEC. 302. APPROPRIATION COMMITTEE ALLOCATIONS AND ENFORCEMENT.

    ``(a) Committee Spending Allocations.--The joint explanatory 
statement accompanying a conference report on a budget resolution shall 
include an allocation, consistent with the resolution recommended in 
the conference report, of the appropriate levels (for the budget year 
covered by that resolution) of total new budget authority and total 
outlays for the Committee on Appropriations of each House. The amounts 
so allocated shall be further divided between discretionary and 
mandatory amounts, as appropriate.
    ``(b) Subdivisions by Appropriations Committees.--As soon as 
practicable after a budget resolution is agreed to, the Committee on 
Appropriations of each House shall subdivide each amount allocated to 
it for the budget year under subsection (a) among its subcommittees. 
Each Committee on Appropriations shall promptly report to its House 
subdivisions made or revised under this subsection.
    ``(c) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order in the House of 
Representatives or the Senate to consider any appropriation measure, or 
amendment thereto, or motion or conference report thereon, unless and 
until the Committee on Appropriations of that House reports 
subdivisions required by subsection (b) consistent with the most 
recently agreed to concurrent resolution on the budget.
    ``(d) Subsequent Concurrent Resolutions.--In the case of a 
concurrent resolution on the budget referred to in section 304, the 
allocations under subsection (a) and the subdivisions under subsection 
(b) shall be required only to the extent necessary to take into account 
revisions made in the most recently agreed to concurrent resolution on 
the budget.
    ``(e) Alteration of Subdivisions.--At any time after the Committee 
on Appropriations of either House reports the subdivisions required to 
be made under subsection (b), that committee may report to its House an 
alteration of such subdivisions. Any alteration of such subdivisions 
must be consistent with any actions already taken by its House on 
measures within that committee's jurisdiction.

            (1) It shall not be in order in the House of 
        Representatives or the Senate to consider any appropriation 
        measure or amendment thereto or motion or conference report 
        thereon, if the new budget authority provided in that measure 
        when added to already enacted levels of new budget authority

        adopted by April 30, the chairman of the Committee on the 
        Budget of the House of Representatives shall submit to the

        allocation under subsection (a) to the Committee on 
        Appropriations consistent with the discretionary spending 
        limits contained in the most recent budget submitted by the 
        President under section 1105(a) of title 31, United States 
        Code.

which revises or reaffirms the concurrent resolution on the budget most 
recently agreed to and which satisfies the requirements of section 301.

``SEC. 305. PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE CONSIDERATION OF CONCURRENT 
              RESOLUTIONS ON THE BUDGET.

    ``(a) Procedure in House of Representatives After Report of 
Committee; Debate.--
            ``(1) When the Committee on the Budget of the House of 
        Representatives has reported any concurrent resolution on the 
        budget, it is in order subject to clause (2)(l)(6) of rule XI 
        of the Rules of the House of Representatives to move that the 
        House resolve itself into the Committee of the Whole House on 
        the State of the Union for the consideration of the concurrent 
        resolution. The motion is highly privileged and is not 
        debatable. An amendment to the motion is not in order, and it 
        is not in order to move to reconsider the vote by which the 
        motion is agreed to or disagreed to. A motion to resolve into 
        the Committee of the Whole may be made even though a previous 
        motion has been disagreed to.
            ``(2) General debate on any concurrent resolution on the 
        budget in the House of Representatives shall be limited to not 
        more than 10 hours, which shall be divided equally between the 
        majority and minority parties, and such additional hours of 
        debate as are consumed pursuant to paragraph (3). A motion 
        further to limit debate is not debatable.
            ``(3) Following the presentation of opening statements on 
        the concurrent resolution on the budget for a fiscal year by 
        the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
        the Budget of the House, there shall be a period of up to four 
        hours for debate on economic goals and policies.
            ``(4) Only if a concurrent resolution on the budget 
        reported by the Committee on the Budget of the House sets forth 
        the economic goals (as described in sections 3(a)(2) and (4)(b) 
        of the Full Employment Act of 1946) which the estimates, 
        amounts, and levels (as described in section 301(a)) set forth 
        in such resolution are designed to achieve, shall it be in 
        order to offer to such resolution an amendment relating to such 
        goals, and such amendment shall be in order only if it also 
        proposes to alter such estimates, amounts, and levels in 
        germane fashion in order to be consistent with the goals 
        proposed in such amendment.
            ``(5) Consideration of any concurrent resolution on the 
        budget by the House of Representatives shall be in the 
        Committee of the Whole, and the resolution shall be considered 
        for amendment under the five-minute rule in accordance with the 
        applicable provisions of rule XXIII of the Rules of the House 
        of Representatives. After the Committee rises and finally 
        reports the resolution back to the House, the previous question 
        shall be considered as ordered on the resolution and any 
        amendments thereto to final passage without intervening motion; 
        except that it shall be in order at any time prior to final 
        passage (notwithstanding any other rule or provision of law) to 
        consider an amendment (or a series of amendments) changing any 
        figure or figures in the resolution as so reported to the 
        extent necessary solely to achieve mathematical consistency. 
        The concurrent resolution is not divisible in the House or in 
        the Committee of the Whole. A motion to recommit the concurrent 
        resolution is not in order, and it is not in order to move to 
        reconsider the vote by which the concurrent resolution is 
        agreed to or disagreed to.
            ``(6) Debate in the House of Representatives on a 
        conference report on a concurrent resolution on the budget 
        shall be limited to not more than 5 hours, which shall be 
        divided equally between the majority and minority parties. A 
        motion further to limit debate is not debatable. A motion to 
        recommit the conference report is not in order, and it is not 
        in order to move to reconsider the vote by which the conference 
        report is agreed to or disagreed to.
            ``(7) Appeals from decisions of the Chair relating to the 
        application of the Rules of the House of Representatives to the 
        procedure relating to any concurrent resolution on the budget 
        shall be decided without debate.
    ``(b) Procedure in Senate After Report of Committee; Debate; 
Amendments.--
            ``(1) Debate in the Senate on any concurrent resolution on 
        the budget, and all amendments thereto and debatable motions 
        and appeals in connection therewith, shall be limited to not 
        more than 50 hours, except that with respect to any concurrent 
        resolution referred to in section 304(a) all such debate shall 
        be limited to not more than 15 hours. The time shall be equally 
        divided between, and controlled by, the majority leader and the 
        minority leader or their designees.
            ``(2) Debate in the Senate on any amendment to a concurrent 
        resolution on the budget shall be limited to 2 hours, to be 
        equally divided between, and controlled by, the mover and the 
        manager of the concurrent resolution, and debate on any 
        amendment to an amendment, debatable motion, or appeal shall be 
        limited to 1 hour, to be equally divided between, and 
        controlled by, the mover and the manager of the concurrent 
        resolution, except that in the event the manager of the 
        concurrent resolution is in favor of any such amendment, 
        motion, or appeal, the time in opposition thereto shall be 
        controlled by the minority leader or his designee. No amendment 
        that is not germane to the provisions of such concurrent 
        resolution shall be received. Such leaders, or either of them, 
        may, from the time under their control on the passage of the 
        concurrent resolution, allot additional time to any Senator 
        during the consideration of any amendment, debatable motion, or 
        appeal.
            ``(3) Following the presentation of opening statements on 
        the concurrent resolution on the budget for a fiscal year by 
        the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
        the Budget of the Senate, there shall be a period of up to four 
        hours for debate on economic goals and policies.
            ``(4) Subject to the other limitations of this Act, only if 
        a concurrent resolution on the budget reported by the Committee 
        on the Budget of the Senate sets forth the economic goals (as 
        described in sections 3(a)(2) and 4(b) of the Employment Act of 
        1946) which the estimates, amounts, and levels (as described in 
        section 301(a)) set forth in such resolution are designed to 
        achieve, shall it be in order to offer to such resolution an 
        amendment relating to such goals, and such amendment shall be 
        in order only if it also proposes to alter such estimates, 
        amounts, and levels in germane fashion in order to be 
        consistent with the goals proposed in such amendment.
            ``(5) A motion to further limit debate is not debatable. A 
        motion to recommit (except a motion to recommit with 
        instructions to report back within a specified number of days, 
        not to exceed 3, not counting any day on which the Senate is 
        not in session) is not in order. Debate on any such motion to 
        recommit shall be limited to 1 hour, to be equally divided 
        between, and controlled by, the mover and the manager of the 
        concurrent resolution.
            ``(6) Notwithstanding any other rule, an amendment or 
        series of amendments to a concurrent resolution on the budget 
        proposed in the Senate shall always be in order if such 
        amendment or series of amendments proposes to change any figure 
        or figures then contained in such concurrent resolution so as 
        to make such concurrent resolution mathematically consistent or 
        so as to maintain such consistency.

        conference report on any concurrent resolution on the budget 
        (or a reconciliation bill or resolution) may be made even 
        though a previous motion to the same effect has been disagreed 
        to.

        and recommendations and submit such recommendations to the 
        Committee on the Budget of its House, which upon receiving all 
        such recommendations, shall report to its House a 
        reconciliation measure carrying out all such recommendations 
        without any substantive revision.
    ``(c) Amendments to Reconciliation Bills.--
            ``(1) It shall not be in order in the House of 
        Representatives to consider any amendment to a reconciliation 
        bill if such amendment would have the effect of increasing 
        direct spending above the level of such direct spending 
        provided in the bill (for the fiscal years covered by the 
        reconciliation instructions set forth in the most recently 
        agreed to concurrent resolution on the budget), or would have 
        the effect of reducing any specific Federal revenues below the 
        level of such revenues provided in the bill (for such fiscal 
        years), unless such amendment makes at least an equivalent 
        reduction in other direct spending, an equivalent increase in 
        other specific Federal revenues, or an equivalent combination 
        thereof (for such fiscal years). A motion to strike a provision 
        providing new budget authority may be in order.

        any amendment to a reconciliation bill if such amendment would 
        have the effect of decreasing any direct spending reductions

        (for the fiscal years covered) in the reconciliation 
        instructions which relate to such bill set forth in a 
        resolution providing for reconciliation, or would have the 
        effect of reducing Federal revenue increases below the level of 
        such revenue increases provided (for such fiscal years) in such 
        instructions relating to such bill, unless such amendment makes 
        a reduction in other direct spending, an increase in other 
        specific Federal revenues, or a combination thereof (for such 
        fiscal years) at least equivalent to any increase in direct 
        spending or decrease in revenues provided by such amendment, 
        except that a motion to strike a provision shall always be in 
        order.
            ``(3) Paragraphs (1) and (2) shall not apply if a 
        declaration of war by the Congress is in effect.
            ``(4) For purposes of this section, the levels of direct 
        spending and Federal revenues for a fiscal year shall be 
        determined on the basis of estimates made by the Committee on 
        the Budget of either House, as the case may be.

        meet its directive in recommended changes it has submitted to 
        its Committee on the Budget pursuant to its instruction, the 
        Committee on Rules of the House of Representatives may 
        recommend that the House make in order amendments to achieve 
        changes specified by reconciliation directives contained in a 
        concurrent resolution on the budget.
    ``(d) Procedure in the Senate.--
            ``(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), the provisions 
        of section 305 for the consideration in the Senate of 
        concurrent resolutions on the budget and conference reports 
        thereon shall also apply to the consideration in the Senate of 
        reconciliation bills reported under subsection (b) and 
        conference reports thereon.
            ``(2) Debate in the Senate on any reconciliation bill 
        reported under subsection (b), and all amendments thereto and 
        debatable motions and appeals in connection therewith, shall be 
        limited to not more than 20 hours.
    ``(e) Limitation on Changes to the Social Security Act.--
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, it shall not be in order in 
the Senate or the House of Representatives to consider any 
reconciliation bill reported pursuant to a concurrent resolution on the 
budget agreed to under section 301 or 304, or any amendment thereto or 
conference report thereon, that contains recommendations to reduce 
benefits under the old-age, survivors, and disability insurance program 
established under title II of the Social Security Act.

``SEC. 311. DIRECT SPENDING AND REVENUE LEGISLATION MUST BE WITHIN 
              APPROPRIATE LEVELS.

    ``(a) Committee Allocations.--The joint explanatory statement 
accompanying a conference report on a budget resolution shall include 
an allocation, consistent with the resolution recommended in the 
conference report, of the appropriate deficit impact number (or surplus 
impact number) for the budget year and a total for all fiscal years 
covered by that resolution for each committee of each House of 
Congress, except for the Committees on Appropriations. Any item assumed 
in an allocation to one committee may not be assumed in an allocation 
to another committee of the same House.
    ``(b) Display Allocations.--The joint explanatory statement 
accompanying a conference report on a budget resolution may include an 
allocation for display purposes only, consistent with the resolution 
recommended in the conference report, of the total amount of direct 
spending and revenue under existing law within the jurisdiction of each 
committee.
    ``(c) Legislation Subject to Point of Order.--
            ``(1) It shall not be in order in the House of 
        Representatives or the Senate to consider any bill or joint 
        resolution or amendment increasing the deficit (or lowering the 
        surplus) in any fiscal year covered by the most recently agreed 
        to concurrent resolution on the budget, or any motion or 
        conference report on any such bill or joint resolution, if it 
        would produce a higher deficit (or lower surplus) than an 
        appropriate impact number allocated pursuant to subsection (a).
            ``(2) A bill, joint resolution, amendment, or conference 
        report shall be considered to exceed an appropriate impact 
        number only if--
                    ``(A) the enactment of such bill or resolution in 
                the form it will be considered as original text for

                joint resolution as so amended; or
                    ``(C) the enactment of such bill or resolution in 
                the form recommended in such conference report,

subsection (a) to be exceeded.

section, impact numbers shall be determined on the basis of estimates 
made by the Committee on the Budget of either House, as the case may 
be.

``SEC. 312. EFFECTS OF POINTS OF ORDER.

    ``(a) Points of Order in the Senate Against Amendments Between the 
Houses.--Each provision of this Act that establishes a point of order 
against an amendment also establishes a point of order in the Senate 
against an amendment between the Houses. If a point of order under this 
Act is raised in the Senate against an amendment between the Houses, 
and the Presiding Officer sustains the point of order, the effect shall 
be the same as if the Senate had disagreed to the amendment.
    ``(b) Effect of a Point of Order on a Bill in the Senate.--In the 
Senate, if the Chair sustains a point of order under this Act against a 
bill, the Chair shall then send the bill to the committee of 
appropriate jurisdiction for further consideration.

``SEC. 313. EXTRANEOUS MATTER IN RECONCILIATION LEGISLATION.

    ``(a) In General.--When the Senate is considering a reconciliation 
bill or a reconciliation resolution pursuant to section 310 (whether 
that bill or resolution originated in the Senate or the House) or 
section 258C of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act 
of 1985, upon a point of order being made by any Senator against 
material extraneous to the instructions to a committee which is 
contained in any title or provision of the bill or resolution or 
offered as an amendment to the bill or resolution, and the point of 
order is sustained by the Chair, any part of said title or provision 
that contains material extraneous to the instructions to said Committee 
as defined in subsection (b) shall be deemed stricken from the bill and 
may not be offered as an amendment from the floor.
    ``(b) Extraneous Provisions.--
            ``(1)(A) Except as provided in paragraph (2), a provision 
        of a reconciliation bill or reconciliation resolution 
        considered pursuant to section 310 shall be considered 
        extraneous if such provision does not produce a change in 
        outlays or revenue, including changes in outlays and revenues 
        brought about by changes in the terms and conditions under 
        which outlays are made or revenues are required to be collected 
        (but a provision in which outlay decreases or revenue increases 
        exactly offset outlay increases or revenue decreases shall not 
        be considered extraneous by virtue of this subparagraph); (B) 
        any provision producing an increase in outlays or decrease in 
        revenues shall be considered extraneous if the net effect of 
        provisions reported by the Committee reporting the title 
        containing the provision is that the Committee fails to achieve 
        its reconciliation instructions; (C) a provision that is not in 
        the jurisdiction of the Committee with jurisdiction over said 
        title or provision shall be considered extraneous; (D) a 
        provision shall be considered extraneous if it produces changes 
        in outlays or revenues which are merely incidental to the non-
        budgetary components of the provision; (E) a provision shall be 
        considered to be extraneous if it increases, or would increase, 
        net outlays, or if it decreases, or would decrease, revenues 
        during a fiscal year after the fiscal years covered by such 
        reconciliation bill or reconciliation resolution, and such 
        increases or decreases are greater than outlay reductions or 
        revenue increases resulting from other provisions in such title 
        in such year; and (F) a provision shall be considered 
        extraneous if it violates section 310(e).
            ``(2) A Senate-originated provision shall not be considered 
        extraneous under paragraph (1)(A) if the Chairman and Ranking 
        Minority Member of the Committee on the Budget and the Chairman 
        and Ranking Minority Member of the Committee which reported the 
        provision certify that: (A) the provision mitigates direct 
        effects clearly attributable to a provision changing outlays or 
        revenue and both provisions together produce a net reduction in 
        the deficit; (B) the provision will result in a substantial 
        reduction in outlays or a substantial increase in revenues 
        during fiscal years after the fiscal years covered by the 
        reconciliation bill or reconciliation resolution; (C) a 
        reduction of outlays or an increase in revenues is likely to 
        occur as a result of the provision, in the event of new 
        regulations authorized by the provision or likely to be 
        proposed, court rulings on pending litigation, or relationships 
        between economic indices and stipulated statutory triggers 
        pertaining to the provision, other than the regulations, court 
        rulings or relationships currently projected by the 
        Congressional Budget Office for scorekeeping purposes; or (D) 
        such provision will be likely to produce a significant 
        reduction in outlays or increase in revenues but, due to 
        insufficient data, such reduction or increase cannot be 
        reliably estimated.
            ``(3) A provision reported by a committee shall not be 
        considered extraneous under paragraph (1)(C) if (A) the 
        provision is an integral part of a provision or title, which if 
        introduced as a bill or resolution would be referred to such 
        committee, and the provision sets forth the procedure to carry 
        out or implement the substantive provisions that were reported 
        and which fall within the jurisdiction of such committee; or 
        (B) the provision states an exception to, or a special 
        application of, the general provision or title of which it is a 
        part and such general provision or title if introduced as a 
        bill or resolution would be referred to such committee.
    ``(c) Extraneous Materials.--Upon the reporting or discharge of a 
reconciliation bill or resolution pursuant to section 310 in the 
Senate, and again upon the submission of a conference report on such a 
reconciliation bill or resolution, the Committee on the Budget of the 
Senate shall submit for the record a list of material considered to be 
extraneous under subsections (b)(1)(A), (b)(1)(B), and (b)(1)(E) of 
this section to the instructions of a committee as provided in this 
section. The inclusion or exclusion of a provision shall not constitute 
a determination of extraneousness by the Presiding Officer of the 
Senate.
    ``(d) Consideration of Conference Reports.--When the Senate is 
considering a conference report on, or an amendment between the Houses 
in relation to, a reconciliation bill or reconciliation resolution 
pursuant to section 310, upon--
            ``(1) a point of order being made by any Senator against 
        extraneous material meeting the definition of subsections 
        (b)(1)(A), (b)(1)(B), (b)(1)(D), (b)(1)(E), or (b)(1)(F), and
            ``(2) such point of order being sustained,
such material contained in such conference report or amendment shall be 
deemed stricken, and the Senate shall proceed, without intervening 
action or motion, to consider the question of whether the Senate shall 
recede from its amendment and concur with a further amendment, or 
concur in the House amendment with a further amendment, as the case may 
be, which further amendment shall consist of only that portion of the 
conference report or House amendment, as the case may be, not so 
stricken. Any such motion in the Senate shall be debatable for two 
hours. In any case in which such point of order is sustained against a 
conference report (or Senate amendment derived from such conference 
report by operation of this subsection), no further amendment shall be 
in order.
    ``(e) General Point of Order.--Notwithstanding any other law or 
rule of the Senate, it shall be in order for a Senator to raise a 
single point of order that several provisions of a bill, resolution, 
amendment, motion, or conference report violate this section. The 
Presiding Officer may sustain the point of order as to some or all of 
the provisions against which the Senator raised the point of order. If 
the Presiding Officer so sustains the point of order as to some of the 
provisions (including provisions of an amendment, motion, or conference 
report) against which the Senator raised the point of order, then only 
those provisions (including provisions of an amendment, motion, or 
conference report) against which the Presiding Officer sustains the 
point of order shall be deemed stricken pursuant to this section. 
Before the Presiding Officer rules on such a point of order, any 
Senator may move to waive such a point of order as it applies to some 
or all of the provisions against which the point of order was raised. 
Such a motion to waive is amendable in accordance with the rules and 
precedents of the Senate. After the Presiding Officer rules on such a 
point of order, any Senator may appeal the ruling of the Presiding 
Officer on such a point of order as it applies to some or all of the 
provisions on which the Presiding Officer ruled.
    ``(f) Determination of Levels.--For purposes of this section, the 
levels of new budget authority, budget outlays, new entitlement 
authority, and revenues for a fiscal year shall be determined on the 
basis of estimates made by the Committee on the Budget of the 
Senate.''.

        legislation enacted as of 5 days before the report is submitted 
        under paragraph (1). To the extent feasible, the Director shall

        jurisdictions to reduce outlays or increase revenues by 
        specified amounts. If the President recommends no reductions 
        pursuant to (b)(2)(C), the special direct spending message

budget and include in it a separate title that meets the requirements 
of subsections (b) and (c).
    (b) Contents of Separate Title.--The separate title of the 
concurrent resolution on the budget shall contain reconciliation 
directives to the appropriate committees of the House of 
Representatives and Senate to determine and recommend changes in laws 
within their jurisdictions to reduce outlays or increase revenues by 
specified amounts (which in total equal or exceed the reductions 
recommended by the President, up to the amount of the overage). If this 
separate title recommends that no legislative changes be made to recoup 
or eliminate an overage, then a statement to that effect shall be set 
forth in that title.
    (c) Requirement for Separate Vote To Increase Targets.--If the 
separate title of a concurrent resolution on the budget proposes to 
recoup or eliminate less than the entire overage for the prior, 
current, and budget years, then the Committee on the Budget of the 
House of Representatives shall report a resolution directing the 
Committee on Government Operations to report legislation increasing the 
direct spending targets for each applicable year by the full amount of 
the overage not recouped or eliminated. It shall not be in order in the 
House of Representatives to consider that concurrent resolution on the 
budget until the House of Representatives has agreed to the resolution 
directing the increase in direct spending targets.
    (d) Conference Reports Must Fully Address Overage.--It shall not be 
in order in the House of Representatives to consider a conference 
report on a concurrent resolution on the budget unless that conference 
report fully addresses the entirety of any overage contained in the 
applicable report of the President under section 16004 through 
reconciliation directives requiring spending reductions, revenue 
increases, or changes in the direct spending targets.
    (e) Procedure if House Budget Committee Fails To Report Required 
Resolution.--
            (1) Automatic discharge of house budget committee.--If a 
        special direct spending resolution is required and the 
        Committee on the Budget of the House of Representatives fails 
        to report a resolution meeting the requirements of subsections 
        (b) and (c) by April 15, then the committee shall be 
        automatically discharged from further consideration of the 
        concurrent resolution reflecting the President's 
        recommendations introduced pursuant to section 16004(c)(2) and 
        the concurrent resolution shall be placed on the appropriate 
        calendar.
            (2) Consideration by house.--Ten days after the Committee 
        on the Budget of the House of Representatives has been 
        discharged under paragraph (1), any Member may move that the 
        House proceed to consider the resolution. Such motion shall be 
        highly privileged and not debatable.
    (f) Application of Congressional Budget Act.--To the extent that 
they are relevant and not inconsistent with this title, the provisions 
of title III of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 shall apply in the 
House of Representatives and the Senate to special direct spending 
resolutions, resolutions increasing targets under subsection (c), and 
reconciliation legislation reported pursuant to directives contained in 
those resolutions.

SEC. 16006. ADJUSTMENTS TO DIRECT SPENDING TARGETS.

    (a) Required Annual Adjustments.--Prior to the submission of the 
President's budget for each of fiscal years 1995 through 1997, the 
Director shall adjust the direct spending targets in accordance with 
this section. Any such adjustments shall be reflected in the targets 
used in the President's report under section 16003 and message (if any) 
under section 16004.
    (b) Adjustment for Increases in Beneficiaries.--
            (1) The Director shall adjust the direct spending targets 
        for increases (if any) in actual or projected numbers of 
        beneficiaries under direct spending programs for which the 
        number of beneficiaries is a variable in determining costs.
            (2) The adjustment shall be made by --
                    (A) computing, for each program under paragraph 
                (1), the percentage change between (i) the annual 
                average number of beneficiaries under that program 
                (including actual numbers of beneficiaries for the 
                prior fiscal year and projections for the budget and 
                subsequent fiscal years) to be used in the President's 
                budget with which the adjustments will be submitted, 
                and (ii) the annual average number of beneficiaries 
                used in the adjustments made by the Director in the 
                previous year (or, in the case of adjustments made in 
                1994, the annual average number of beneficiaries used 
                in the Director's initial report under section 
                16002(b));
                    (B) applying the percentages computed under 
                subparagraph (A) to the projected levels of outlays for 
                each program consistent with the direct spending 
                targets in effect immediately prior to the adjustment; 
                and
                    (C) adding the results of the calculations required 
                by subparagraph (B) to the direct spending targets in 
                effect immediately prior to the adjustment.
            (3) No adjustment shall be made for any program for a 
        fiscal year in which the percentage increase computed under 
        paragraph (2)(A) is less than or equal to zero.
    (c) Adjustments for Revenue Legislation.--
            (1) The Director shall adjust the targets as follows--
                    (A) they shall be increased by the amount of any 
                increase in receipts; or
                    (B) they shall be decreased by the amount of any 
                decrease in receipts,
resulting from receipts legislation enacted after the date of enactment 
of this title, except legislation enacted under section 16005.
    (d) Adjustments to Reflect Congressional Decisions.--Upon enactment 
of a reconciliation bill pursuant to instructions under section 16005, 
the Director shall adjust direct spending targets for the current year, 
the budget year, and each outyear through 1997 by--
            (1) increasing the target for the current year and the 
        budget year by the amount stated for that year in that 
        reconciliation bill (but if a separate vote was required by 
        section 16005(c), only if that vote has occurred); and
            (2) decreasing the target for the current, budget, and 
        outyears through 1997 by the amount of reductions in direct 
        spending enacted in that reconciliation bill.
    (e) Designated Emergencies.--The Director shall adjust the targets 
to reflect the costs of legislation that is designated as an emergency 
by Congress and the President under section 252(b) of the Balanced 
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.

SEC. 16007. RELATIONSHIP TO BALANCED BUDGET AND EMERGENCY DEFICIT 
              CONTROL ACT.

    Reductions in outlays or increases in receipts resulting from 
legislation reported pursuant to section 16005 shall not be taken into 
account for purposes of any budget enforcement procedures under the 
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.

SEC. 16008. ESTIMATING MARGIN.

    For any fiscal year for which the overage is less than one-half of 
1 percent of the direct spending target for that year, the procedures 
set forth in sections 16004 and 16005 shall not apply.

SEC. 16009. CONSIDERATION OF APPROPRIATION BILLS.

    (a) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order in the House of 
Representatives to consider any general appropriation bill if the 
President has submitted a direct spending message under section 16004 
until Congress has adopted a concurrent resolution on the budget for 
the budget year that meets the requirements of section 16005.
    (b) Waiver.--The point of order established by subsection (a) may 
only be waived for all general appropriation bills for that budget year 
through the adoption of one resolution waiving that point of order.

SEC. 16010. MEANS-TESTED PROGRAMS.

    In making recommendations under sections 16004 and 16005, the 
President and the Congress should seriously consider all other 
alternatives before proposing reductions in means-tested programs.

SEC. 16011. EFFECTIVE DATE.

    This title shall apply to direct spending targets for fiscal years 
1994 through 1997 and shall expire at the end of fiscal year 1997.

            Passed the House of Representatives May 27, 1993.
