allocations, functional levels, and aggregates contained in this 
concurrent resolution on the budget.

Control Act of 1985.

SEC. 206. SALE OF GOVERNMENT ASSETS.

    (a) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) the prohibition on scoring asset sales has discouraged 
        the sale of assets that can be better managed by the private 
        sector and generate receipts to reduce the Federal budget 
        deficit;
            (2) the President's fiscal year 1996 budget included 
        $8,000,000,000 in receipts from asset sales and proposed a 
        change in the asset sale scoring rule to allow the proceeds 
        from these sales to be scored;
            (3) assets should not be sold if such sale would increase 
        the budget deficit over the long run; and
            (4) the asset sale scoring prohibition should be repealed 
        and consideration should be given to replacing it with a 
        methodology that takes into account the long-term budgetary 
        impact of asset sales.
    (b) Budgetary Treatment.--For purposes of any concurrent resolution 
on the budget and the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act 
of 1974, the amounts realized from sales of assets shall be scored with 
respect to the level of budget authority, outlays, or revenues.
    (c) Definitions.--For purposes of this section, the term ``sale of 
an asset'' shall have the same meaning as under section 250(c)(21) of 
the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
    (d) Treatment of Loan Assets.--For the purposes of this section, 
the sale of loan assets or the prepayment of a loan shall be governed 
by the terms of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990.

SEC. 207. CREDIT REFORM AND GUARANTEED STUDENT LOANS.

    For the purposes of allocations and points of order under the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and this resolution, the cost of a 
direct loan shall be the net present value, at the time when the direct 
loan is disbursed, of the following cash flows for the estimated life 
of the loan:
            (1) Loan disbursements.
            (2) Repayments of principal.
            (3) Payments of interest and other payments by or to the 
        Government over the life of the loan after adjusting for 
        estimated defaults, prepayments, fees, penalties, and other 
        recoveries.
            (4) In the case of legislation increasing direct loan 
        commitments for a program in which loan commitments will equal 
        or exceed $5,000,000,000 for the coming fiscal year (or for any 
        prior fiscal year), direct expenses, including--
                    (A) activities related to credit extension, loan 
                origination, loan servicing, training, program 
                promotion, management of contractors, and payments to 
                contractors, other government entities, and program 
                participants;
                    (B) collection of delinquent loans; and
                    (C) writeoff and closeout of loans.

SEC. 208. EXTENSION OF BUDGET ACT 60-VOTE ENFORCEMENT THROUGH 2002.

    Notwithstanding section 275(b) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency 
Deficit Control Act of 1985 (as amended by sections 13112(b) and 
13208(b)(3) of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990), the second sentence 
of section 904(c) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (except 
insofar as it relates to section 313 of that Act) and the final 
sentence of section 904(d) of that Act (except insofar as it relates to 
section 313 of that Act) shall continue to have effect as rules of the 
Senate through (but no later than) September 30, 2002.

SEC. 209. REPEAL OF IRS ALLOWANCE.

    (a) Section 25 of House Concurrent Resolution 218 (103d Congress, 
2d Session) is repealed.
    (b) It is the sense of the Senate that the revenue levels contained 
in the budget resolution should assume passage of the ``Taxpayers Bill 
of Rights 2'' and that the Senate should pass the Taxpayers Bill of 
Rights 2 this Congress.
    (c) It is the sense of the Senate that funding for tax compliance 
efforts should be a top priority and that the assumptions underlying 
the functional totals in this resolution include the administration's 
full request for the Internal Revenue Service.

SEC. 210. EXERCISE OF RULEMAKING POWERS.

    The Senate adopts the provisions of this title--
            (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate, 
        and as such they shall be considered as part of the rules of 
        the Senate, and such rules shall supersede other rules only to 
        the extent that they are inconsistent therewith; and
            (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of 
        the Senate to change those rules (so far as they relate to the 
        Senate) at any time, in the same manner, and to the same extent 
        as in the case of any other rule of the Senate.

            TITLE III--SENSE OF THE CONGRESS AND THE SENATE

SEC. 301. RESTRUCTURING GOVERNMENT AND PROGRAM TERMINATIONS.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that to balance the Federal budget 
in a rational and reasonable manner requires an assessment of national 
priorities and the appropriate role of the Federal Government in 
meeting the challenges facing the United States in the 21st century.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that to 
balance the budget the Congress should--
            (1) restructure Federal programs to meet identified 
        national priorities in the most effective and efficient manner 
        so that program dollars get to the intended purpose or 
        recipient;
            (2) terminate programs that have largely met their goals, 
        that have outlived their original purpose, or that have been 
        superseded by other programs;
            (3) seek to end significant duplication among Federal 
        programs, which results in excessive administrative costs and 
        ill serve the American people; and
            (4) eliminate lower priority programs.

SEC. 302. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING RETURNING PROGRAMS TO THE 
              STATES.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
            (1) section 8 of article I of the Constitution grants the 
        Federal Government limited powers and the 10th amendment to the 
        Constitution expressly provides that the powers not delegated 
        to the Federal Government are reserved to the States and the 
        people;
            (2) in fiscal year 1993, the Federal Government provided 
        funds to States and localities through 593 categorical programs 
        totaling $206,000,000,000;
            (3) in attempting to solve every problem of society, the 
        Federal Government is overburdening the States and its citizens 
        with cumbersome and intrusive laws, programs, regulations, and 
        mandates; and
            (4) in administering many Federal programs, the States are 
        often better equipped to determine and respond to the 
        particular needs of the people than the Federal Government.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) Federal programs should be reviewed to determine 
        whether they are an appropriate function of the Federal 
        Government and whether they are more appropriately a 
        responsibility of the States consistent with the 10th amendment 
        to the Constitution;
            (2) Federal resources should be provided in a manner which 
        rewards work, promotes families, and provides a helping hand 
        during times of crisis;
            (3) the Federal Government should seek a new partnership 
        with States that recognizes that ``one size fits all'' 
        solutions of the past are flawed;
            (4) this new partnership should include block grants that 
        provide maximum flexibility to States and localities in terms 
        of the design and structure of programs to ensure the maximum 
        benefit at the least cost to the American taxpayer;
            (5) Federal funds must not be used to supplant existing 
        expenditures by individuals, localities, and States;
            (6) block grants should not be reduced to revenue sharing;
            (7) adequate safeguards should be in place to protect the 
        Federal investment, such as auditing or maintenance of effort 
        provisions; and
            (8) the inclusion of Federal goals and principles in block 
        grant programs may be appropriate, as well as essential data 
        collection requirements for evaluation purposes.

SEC. 303. COMMERCIALIZATION OF FEDERAL ACTIVITIES.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
            (1) there are a number of functions being performed by the 
        Federal Government that should not be performed by the Federal 
        Government because they could be more conveniently and 
        efficiently provided by the private sector;
            (2) our Founding Fathers wrote a Constitution that created 
        a Federal Government of limited powers and limited 
        responsibility;
            (3) the current Federal Government owns one-third of the 
        land of this great Nation, oil fields, hospitals, railroads, 
        Tokyo office buildings, electric companies, 4,900,000 housing 
        units which are owned outright by Housing and Urban Development 
        or are eligible for Housing and Urban Development subsidy 
        payments, and loan portfolios that are larger than most of the 
        financial institutions in the country; and
            (4)(A) the Federal Government's encroachment into the 
        private sector is significant, often duplicative, inconsistent 
        with free market principles, and costly for taxpayers;
            (B) when the Federal Government monopolizes a service that 
        could be provided by the private sector it usually costs 
        taxpayers 30 percent more; and
            (C) one-fourth of the work done by Federal employees 
        competes with the private sector.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) Congress should better define privatization and how it 
        can contribute to ``right sizing'' the Federal Government and 
        at the same time achieve better service, more innovation, and 
        significant deficit reduction;
            (2) privatization can take at least four forms: asset 
        sales, contracting out, creating corporate enterprises under 
        strict and clearly defined deadlines designed to achieve full 
        privatization, and eliminating legislative barriers, 
        generically called ``private sector lockouts'';
            (3) provisions of law that prohibit or ``lockout'' the 
        private sector from competing for providing certain services 
        should be examined and eliminated;
            (4) the private sector from Main Street, Wall Street and 
        Academia should be encouraged by the President and the Congress 
        to bring forward their privatization best practices and 
        proposals for privatization;
            (5) the Head of each Federal agency and department and the 
        Office of Management and Budget should designate senior level 
        staff persons to develop and evaluate private sector 
        privatization initiatives that should be included in the 
        President's budget;
            (6)(A) the Office of Management and Budget should set 
        appropriate privatization goals for each agency; and
            (B) no expansions of programs under a department's 
        jurisdiction should be approved by the Office of Management and 
        Budget unless the agency has achieved those privatization 
        goals;
            (7) section 257(e) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency 
        Deficit Control Act which prohibits crediting savings from 
        asset sales should be repealed or modified; and
            (8) Congress should evaluate privatization processes taking 
        place in other countries to determine what lessons could be 
        learned so that United States could develop a comprehensive 
        privatization policy by the end of the next fiscal year.

SEC. 304. NONPARTISAN ADVISORY COMMISSION ON THE CPI.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) Congress intended to insulate certain government 
        beneficiaries and taxpayers from the effects of inflation by 
        indexing payments and tax brackets to the Consumer Price Index 
        (CPI);
            (2) approximately 30 percent of total Federal outlays and 
        45 percent of Federal revenues are indexed to reflect changes 
        in the CPI; and
            (3) the overwhelming consensus among experts is that the 
        method used to construct the CPI and the current calculation of 
        the CPI both overstate the estimate of the true cost of living.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) a temporary advisory commission should be established 
        to make objective and nonpartisan recommendations concerning 
        the appropriateness and accuracy of the methodology and 
        calculations that determine the CPI;
            (2) the Commission should be appointed on a nonpartisan 
        basis, and should be composed of experts in the fields of 
        economics, statistics, or other related professions; and
            (3) the Commission should report its recommendations to the 
        Bureau of Labor Statistics and to Congress at the earliest 
        possible date.

SEC. 305. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON A UNIFORM ACCOUNTING SYSTEM IN THE 
              FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND NONPARTISAN COMMISSION ON 
              ACCOUNTING AND BUDGETING.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Much effort has been devoted to strengthening Federal 
        internal accounting controls in the past. Although progress has 
        been made in recent years, there still exists no uniform 
        Federal accounting system for Federal Government entities and 
        institutions.
            (2) As a result, Federal financial management continues to 
        be seriously deficient, and Federal financial management and 
        fiscal practices have failed to identify costs, failed to 
        reflect the total liabilities of congressional actions, and 
        failed to accurately report the financial condition of the 
        Federal Government.
            (3) Current Federal accounting practices do not adequately 
        report financial problems of the Federal Government or the full 
        cost of programs and activities. The continued use of these 
        practices undermines the Government's ability to provide 
        credible and reliable financial data, contributes to waste and 
        inefficiency, and will not assist in achieving a balanced 
        budget.
            (4) Waste and inefficiency in Federal Government undermine 
        the confidence of the American people in the Government and 
        reduces the Federal Government's ability to address adequately 
        vital public needs.
            (5) To rebuild the accountability and credibility of the 
        Federal Government and restore public confidence in the Federal 
        Government, a uniform Federal accounting system, that fully 
        meets the accounting standards and reporting objectives for the 
        Federal Government, must be immediately established so that all 
        assets and liabilities, revenues and expenditures or expenses, 
        and the full cost of programs and activities of the Federal 
        Government can be consistently and accurately recorded, 
        monitored, and uniformly reported throughout all government 
        entities for budgeting and control and management evaluation 
        purposes.
    (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that 
the assumptions underlying the functional totals in this resolution 
include the following assumptions:
            (1) Uniform federal accounting system.--(A) A uniform 
        Federal accounting system should be established to consistently 
        compile financial data across the Federal Government, and to 
        make full disclosure of Federal financial data, including the 
        full cost of Federal programs and activities, to the citizens, 
        the Congress, the President, and agency management.
            (B) Beginning with fiscal year 1997, the President should 
        require the heads of agencies to--
                    (i) implement and maintain a uniform Federal 
                accounting system; and
                    (ii) provide financial statements;
        in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 
        applied on a consistent basis and established in accordance 
        with proposed Federal accounting standards and interpretations 
        recommended by the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board 
        and other applicable law.
            (2) Nonpartisan advisory commission on accounting and 
        budgeting.--(A) A temporary advisory commission should be 
        established to make objective and nonpartisan recommendations 
        for the appropriate treatment of capital expenditures under a 
        uniform Federal accounting system that is consistent with 
        generally accepted accounting principles.
            (B) The Commission should be appointed on a nonpartisan 
        basis, and should be composed of public and private experts in 
        the fields of finance, economics, accounting, and other related 
        professions.
            (C) The Commission should report to the President and the 
        Congress by August 1, 1995, on its recommendations, and should 
        include in its report a detailed plan for implementing such 
        recommendations.

SEC. 306. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS THAT 90 PERCENT OF THE BENEFITS OF ANY 
              TAX CUTS MUST GO TO THE MIDDLE CLASS.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) the incomes of middle-class families have stagnated 
        since the early 1980's, with family incomes growing more slowly 
        between 1979 and 1989 than in any other business cycle since 
        World War II; and
            (2) according to the Department of the Treasury, in 1996, 
        approximately 90 percent of American families will have incomes 
        less than $100,000.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that if the 
1996 Concurrent Budget Resolution includes any cut in taxes, 
approximately 90 percent of the benefits of these tax cuts must go to 
working families with incomes less than $100,000.

SEC. 307. BIPARTISAN COMMISSION ON THE SOLVENCY OF MEDICARE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) the Health Insurance for the Aged Act, which created 
        the medicare program, was enacted on July 30, 1965, and, 
        therefore, the medicare program will celebrate its 30-year 
        anniversary on July 30, 1995;
            (2) on April 3, 1995, the Trustees of medicare submitted 
        their 1995 Annual Report on the Status of the Medicare Program 
        to the Congress;
            (3) the Trustees of medicare have concluded that ``the 
        medicare program is clearly unsustainable in its present 
        form'';
            (4) the Trustees of medicare have concluded that ``the 
        Hospital Insurance Trust Fund, which pays inpatient hospital 
        expenses, will be able to pay benefits for only about 7 years 
        and is severely out of financial balance in the long range'';
            (5) the Public Trustees of medicare have concluded that 
        ``the Supplementary Medical Insurance Trust Fund shows a rate 
        of growth of costs which is clearly unsustainable'';
            (6) the Trustees of medicare have recommended ``legislation 
        to reestablish the Quadrennial Advisory Council that will help 
        lead to effective solutions to the problems of the program'';
            (7) the Bipartisan Commission on Entitlement and Tax Reform 
        concluded that, absent long-term changes in medicare, projected 
        medicare outlays will increase from about 4 percent of the 
        payroll tax base today to over 15 percent of the payroll tax 
        base by the year 2030;
            (8) the Bipartisan Commission on Entitlement and Tax Reform 
        recommended, by a vote of 30 to 1, that spending and revenues 
        available for medicare must be brought into long-term balance;
            (9) the Public Trustees of medicare have concluded that 
        ``We had hoped for several years that comprehensive health 
        reform would include meaningful medicare reforms. However, with 
        the results of the last Congress, it is now clear that medicare 
        reform needs to be addressed urgently as a distinct legislative 
        initiative''; and
            (10) the Public Trustees of medicare ``strongly recommend 
        that the crisis presented by the financial condition of the 
        medicare trust funds be urgently addressed on a comprehensive 
        basis, including a review of the programs's financing methods, 
        benefit provisions, and delivery mechanisms.''.
    (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) a special bipartisan commission should be established 
        immediately to make recommendations concerning the most 
        appropriate response to the short-term solvency and long-term 
        sustainability issues facing medicare;
            (2) the commission should report to Congress its 
        recommendations on the appropriate response to the short-term 
        solvency of medicare by July 10, 1995, in order that the 
        committees of jurisdiction may consider those recommendations 
        in fashioning an appropriate congressional response; and
            (3) the commission should report its recommendations to 
        respond to the Public Trustees' call to make medicare's 
        financial condition sustainable over the long term to Congress 
        by February 1, 1996.

SEC. 308. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF AGRICULTURE 
              SAVINGS.

    It is the sense of the Senate that, in response to the 
reconciliation instructions in section 105 of this resolution, the 
Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry should provide 
that no more than 20 percent of the savings be achieved in commodity 
programs.

SEC. 309. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING PROTECTION OF CHILDREN'S 
              HEALTH.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) Today's children and the next generation are the prime 
        beneficiaries of the benefits of attaining a balanced Federal 
        budget. Without a balanced budget, today's children must bear 
        the increasing burden of the Federal debt. Continued deficit 
        spending would doom future generations to slower economic 
        growth and lower living standards.
            (2) The health of children is essential to the future 
        economic and social well-being of the Nation.
            (3) Medicaid covers one in four children and one in three 
        births. Nearly 60 percent of children covered by medicaid are 
        from working families.
            (4) While children represent one-half of all people 
        eligible for medicaid, they account for less than 25 percent of 
        medicaid expenditures.
            (5) Medicaid provides a broad range of services essential 
        for the health of a significant portion of the Nation's 
        children with disabilities.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) the health care needs of low-income pregnant women and 
        children should be a top priority;
            (2) careful study must be made of the impact of medicaid 
        reform proposals on children's health and on vital sources of 
        care including children's hospitals and community and migrant 
        health centers; and
            (3) medicaid reform legislation which would allow greater 
        State flexibility in the delivery of care and in the control of 
        the rate of growth in costs of the program should also 
        encourage States to place a priority on coverage for pregnant 
        women and children.

SEC. 310. SENSE OF THE SENATE THAT LOBBYING EXPENSES SHOULD REMAIN 
              NONDEDUCTIBLE.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that ordinary Americans generally 
are not allowed to deduct the costs of communicating with their elected 
representatives.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that 
lobbying expenses should not be tax deductible.

SEC. 311. EXPATRIATE TAXES.

    It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) Congress should revise the Internal Revenue Code to 
        ensure that very wealthy individuals are not able to reduce or 
        avoid their United States income, estate, or gift tax liability 
        by relinquishing their United States citizenship; and
            (2) the increased revenues resulting from the revision 
        should be used to reduce the deficit.

SEC. 312. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING LOSSES OF TRUST FUNDS DUE TO 
              FRAUD AND ABUSE IN THE MEDICARE PROGRAM.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
            (1) the General Accounting Office estimates that as much as 
        $100,000,000,000 are wasted each year in the health care system 
        due to fraud and abuse;
            (2) outlays for the medicare program under title XVIII of 
        the Social Security Act during fiscal year 1994 were 
        $161,100,000,000, and the General Accounting Office estimates 
        that up to 10 percent of those outlays were wasted because of 
        fraud and abuse;
            (3) medicare beneficiaries incur higher out-of-pocket costs 
        and copayments due to inflated billings resulting from 
        fraudulent and abusive practices perpetrated against the 
        medicare program; and
            (4) funds lost because of fraud and abuse are contributing 
        to the financial crises of the Federal Hospital Insurance Trust 
        Fund and the Federal Supplementary Medical Insurance Trust 
        Fund, as identified by the Boards of Trustees of such trust 
        funds in their 1995 annual reports.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that as the 
Committee on Finance of the Senate and, if established, the Bipartisan 
Commission on the Solvency of Medicare recommended under section 307, 
address the long-term solvency of the medicare program under title 
XVIII of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395 et seq.), high 
priority should be given to proposals which identify, eliminate, and 
recover funds expended from the Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund 
and the Federal Supplementary Medical Insurance Trust Fund due to fraud 
and abuse in such program. In addition, the Senate assumes that funds 
recovered from enhanced anti-fraud and abuse efforts be used to fund 
health care anti-fraud and abuse enforcement efforts, reimbursements to 
the Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund and the Federal Supplementary 
Medical Insurance Trust Fund for losses due to fraud and abuse, and 
deficit reduction.

SEC. 313. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING FULL FUNDING FOR DECADE OF 
              THE BRAIN RESEARCH.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) long-term health care costs associated with diseases 
        and disorders of the brain have a substantial impact on Federal 
        expenditures for medicaid and medicare, and on the earning 
        potential of the Nation;
            (2) to highlight the impact of brain diseases and disorders 
        on the economy and well being of the Nation the Congress has 
        declared the 1990's the Decade of the Brain;
            (3) meaningful research has been initiated as part of the 
        Decade of the Brain;
            (4) if fully funded this research could provide important 
        new medical breakthroughs; and
            (5) these breakthroughs could result in a significant 
        reduction in costs to the Federal Government.
    (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that in 
furtherance of the goals of the Decade of the Brain the appropriate 
committees should seek to ensure that full funding is provided for 
research on brain diseases and disorders in each of the fiscal years to 
which this resolution applies.

SEC. 314. CONSIDERATION OF THE INDEPENDENT BUDGET FOR VETERANS AFFAIRS, 
              FISCAL YEAR 1996.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds as follows:
            (1) Whereas over 26,000,000 veterans are eligible for 
        veterans health care;
            (2) Whereas the Veterans Health Administration of the 
        Department of Veterans Affairs operates the largest Federal 
        medical care delivery system in the United States, providing 
        for the medical care needs of our Nation's veterans;
            (3) Whereas the veterans' service organizations have 
        provided a plan, known as the Independent Budget for Veterans 
        Affairs, to reform the veterans' health care delivery system to 
        adapt it to the modern health care environment and improve its 
        ability to meet the health care needs of veterans in a cost-
        effective manner;
            (4) Whereas current budget proposals assume a change in the 
        definition of service-connected veterans;
            (5) Whereas proposals contained within the Independent 
        Budget may provide improved service to veterans;
            (6) Whereas current budget proposals may not have fully 
        considered the measures proposed by the veterans' service 
        organizations in the Independent Budget.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
reforms and proposals contained within the Independent Budget for 
Veterans Affairs, Fiscal Year 1996 should be given careful 
consideration in an effort to ensure the Nation's commitment to its 
veterans.

SEC. 315. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE COSTS OF THE NATIONAL VOTER 
              REGISTRATION ACT OF 1993.

    It is the sense of the Senate that within the assumptions under 
budget function 800 funds will be spent for reimbursement to the States 
for the costs of implementing the National Voter Registration Act of 
1993.

SEC. 316. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN 
              FUND.

    It is the sense of the Senate that the assumptions underlying 
function 800 include the following: That payments to presidential 
campaigns from the Presidential Election Campaign Fund, as authorized 
by the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1974, should not be used to pay 
for or augment damage awards or settlements arising from a civil or 
criminal action, or the threat thereof, related to sexual harassment.

SEC. 317. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING FUNDS TO DEFEND AGAINST SEXUAL 
              HARASSMENT.

    It is the sense of Congress that no Member of Congress or the 
Executive Branch may use campaign funds or privately donated funds to 
defend against sexual harassment lawsuits.

SEC. 318. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO 
              SCHOOLS AFFECTED BY FEDERAL ACTIVITIES.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds as follows:
            (1) In order to fulfill its responsibility to communities 
        that were adversely affected by Federal activities, the 
        Congress established the Impact Aid program in 1950.
            (2) The Impact Aid program is intended to ease the burden 
        on local school districts for educating children who live on 
        Federal property. Since Federal property is exempt from local 
        property taxes, such districts are denied the primary source of 
        revenue used to finance elementary and secondary education. 
        Most Impact Aid payments are made for students whose parents 
        are in the uniformed services, or for students who reside on 
        Indian lands or in federally subsidized low-rent housing 
        projects. Over 1,600 local educational agencies enrolling over 
        17,000,000 children are provided assistance under the Impact 
        Aid program.
            (3) The Impact Aid program is one of the few Federal 
        education programs where funds are sent directly to the school 
        district. Such funds go directly into the general fund and may 
        be used as the local educational agency decides.
            (4) The Impact Aid program covers less than half of what it 
        costs to educate each federally connected student in some 
        school districts, requiring local school districts or States to 
        provide the remainder.
            (5) Added to the burden described in paragraph (4) is the 
        fact that some States do not rely upon an income tax for State 
        funding of education. In these cases, the loss of property tax 
        revenue makes State and local education funding even more 
        difficult to obtain.
            (6) Given the serious budget constraints facing State and 
        local governments it is critical that the Federal Government 
        continue to fulfill its responsibility to the federally 
        impacted school districts in our Nation's States.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that in the 
assumptions for the overall accounts it is assumed that the Federal 
Government has a financial responsibility to schools in our Nation's 
communities which are adversely affected by Federal activities and that 
funding for such responsibilities should not be reduced or eliminated.

SEC. 319. SENSE OF THE SENATE TO ELIMINATE THE EARNINGS PENALTY.

    It is the sense of the Senate that the assumptions underlying the 
functional totals in this resolution include that the increased 
revenues resulting from the revision of the expatriate tax loophole 
should be used to eliminate the earnings penalty imposed on low and 
middle income senior citizens receiving social security.

SEC. 320. STUDENT LOAN CUTS.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
            (1) in the 20th century, educational increases in the 
        workforce accounted for 30 percent of the growth in our 
        Nation's wealth, and advances in knowledge accounted for 55 
        percent of such growth;
            (2) the Federal Government provides 75 percent of all 
        college financial aid;
            (3) the Federal student loan program was created to make 
        college accessible and affordable for the middle class;
            (4) increased fees and interest costs discourage college 
        participation by making higher education more expensive, and 
        more of a risk, for students and their families;
            (5) full-time students already work an average of 25 hours 
        per week, taking time away from their studies; and
            (6) student indebtedness is already increasing rapidly, and 
        any reduction of the in-school interest subsidy will increase 
        the indebtedness burden on students and families.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the 
assumptions underlying the functional totals in this resolution assume 
the Labor and Human Resources Committee, in seeking to achieve 
mandatory savings, should do their best to not increase the cost of 
borrowing for students participating in the Robert T. Stafford Federal 
Student Loan Program.

SEC. 321. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE NUTRITIONAL HEALTH OF 
              CHILDREN.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) Federal nutrition programs, such as the school lunch 
        program, the school breakfast program, the special supplemental 
        nutrition program for women, infants, and children (referred to 
        in this section as ``WIC''), the child and adult care food 
        program, and others, are important to the health and well-being 
        of children;
            (2) participation in Federal nutrition programs is 
        voluntary on the part of States, and the programs are 
        administered and operated by every State;
            (3) a major factor that led to the creation of the school 
        lunch program was that a number of the recruits for the United 
        States armed forces in World War II failed physical 
        examinations due to problems related to inadequate nutrition;
            (4)(A) WIC has proven to be extremely valuable in promoting 
        the health of newborn babies and children; and
            (B) each dollar invested in the prenatal component of WIC 
        has been shown to save up to $3.50 in medicaid costs related to 
        medical problems that arise in the first 90 days after the 
        birth of an infant;
            (5) the requirement that infant formula be purchased under 
        a competitive bidding system under section 17 of the Child 
        Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1786) saved $1,000,000,000 in 
        fiscal year 1994 and enabled States to allow 1,600,000 women, 
        infants, and children to participate in WIC at no additional 
        cost to taxpayers; and
            (6) a balanced Federal budget will provide economic 
        benefits to children alive today and to future generations of 
        Americans.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the 
assumptions underlying the functional totals in this resolution include 
the assumptions that--
            (1) schools should continue to serve lunches that meet 
        minimum nutritional requirements based on tested nutritional 
        research;
            (2) the content of WIC food packages for infants, children, 
        and pregnant and postpartum women should continue to be based 
        on scientific evidence;
            (3) the competitive bidding system for infant formula under 
        section 17 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1786) 
        should be maintained;
            (4) foods of minimum nutritional value should not be sold 
        in competition with school lunches in the school cafeterias 
        during lunch hours;
            (5) some reductions in nutrition program spending can be 
        made without compromising the nutritional well-being of program 
        recipients;
            (6) in complying with the reconciliation instructions in 
        section 6 of this resolution, the Committee on Agriculture, 
        Nutrition, and Forestry of the Senate should take this section 
        into account; and
            (7) Congress should continue to move toward fully funding 
        the WIC program.

SEC. 322. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON MAINTAINING FEDERAL FUNDING FOR LAW 
              ENFORCEMENT.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
            (1) Federal, State, and local law enforcement officers 
        provide essential services that preserve and protect our 
        freedoms and security;
            (2) law enforcement officers deserve our appreciation and 
        support;
            (3) law enforcement officers and agencies are under 
        increasing attacks, both to their physical safety and to their 
        reputations;
            (4) on April 7, 1995, the Senate passed S.J. Res. 32 in 
        which the Senate recognizes the debt of gratitude the Nation 
        owes to the men and women who daily serve the American people 
        as law enforcement officers and the integrity, honesty, 
        dedication, and sacrifice of our Federal, State, and local law 
        enforcement officers;
            (5) the Nation's sense of domestic tranquility has been 
        shaken by explosions at the World Trade Center in New York and 
        the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City and by the fear of 
        violent crime in our cities, towns, and rural areas across the 
        Nation;
            (6) Federal, State, and local law enforcement efforts need 
        increased financial commitment from the Federal Government and 
        not the reduction of such commitment to law enforcement if law 
        enforcement officers are to carry out their efforts to combat 
        violent crime; and
            (7) on April 5, 1995, and May 18, 1995, the House of 
        Representatives has nonetheless voted to reduce $5,000,000,000 
        from the Violent Crime Reduction Trust Fund in order to provide 
        for tax cuts in both H. R. 1215 and H. Con. Res. 67.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the 
assumptions underlying the functional totals in this resolution assume 
that the Federal Government's commitment to fund Federal law 
enforcement programs and programs to assist State and local efforts 
should be maintained and funding for the Violent Crime Reduction Trust 
Fund should not be reduced by $5,000,000,000 as the bill and resolution 
passed by the House of Representatives would require.

SEC. 323. NEED TO ENACT LONG TERM HEALTH CARE REFORM.

    It is the sense of the Senate that the One Hundred Fourth Congress 
should enact fundamental long-term health care reform that emphasizes 
cost-effective, consumer oriented, and consumer-directed home and 
community-based care that builds upon existing family supports and 
achieves deficit reduction by helping elderly and disabled individuals 
remain in their own homes and communities.

SEC. 324. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING MANDATORY MAJOR ASSUMPTIONS 
              UNDER FUNCTION 270: ENERGY.

    It is the sense of the Senate that within the mandatory major 
assumptions under budget function 270, none of the power marketing 
administrations within the 48 contiguous States will be sold, and any 
savings that were assumed would be realized from the sale of those 
power marketing administrations will be realized through cost 
reductions in other programs within the Department of Energy.

SEC. 325. DEFENSE OVERHEAD.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
            (1) the major discretionary assumptions in this concurrent 
        budget resolution include 15 percent reduction in overhead for 
        programs of nondefense agencies that remain funded in the 
        budget and whose funding is not interconnected with receipts 
        dedicated to a program;
            (2) the Committee Report (104-82) on this concurrent budget 
        resolution states that ``this assumption would not reduce 
        funding for the programmatic activities of agencies.''.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the 
Committees on Armed Services and Appropriations should make a reduction 
of at least three percent in overhead for fiscal year 1996 programs of 
defense agencies, and should do so in a manner so as not to reduce 
funding for the programmatic activities of these agencies.

SEC. 326. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE ESSENTIAL AIR SERVICE 
              PROGRAM OF THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
            (1) the essential air service program of the Department of 
        Transportation under subchapter II of chapter 417 of title 49, 
        United States Code--
                    (A) provides essential airline access to isolated 
                rural communities across the United States;
                    (B) is necessary for the economic growth and 
                development of rural communities;
                    (C) connects small rural communities to the 
                national air transportation system of the United 
                States;
                    (D) is a critical component of the national 
                transportation system of the United States; and
                    (E) provides air service to 108 communities in 30 
                States; and
            (2) the National Commission to Ensure a Strong Competitive 
        Airline Industry established under section 204 of the Airport 
        and Airway Safety, Capacity, Noise Improvement, and Intermodal 
        Transportation Act of 1992 recommended maintaining the 
        essential air service program with a sufficient level of 
        funding to continue to provide air service to small 
        communities.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the 
essential air service program of the Department of Transportation under 
subchapter II of chapter 417 of title 49, United States Code, should 
receive, to the maximum extent possible, a sufficient level of funding 
to continue to provide air service to small rural communities that 
qualify for assistance under the program.

SEC. 327. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE PRIORITY THAT SHOULD BE 
              GIVEN TO RENEWABLE ENERGY AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY RESEARCH, 
              DEVELOPMENT, AND DEMONSTRATION ACTIVITIES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) section 1202 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (106 
        Stat. 2956), which passed the Senate 93 to 3 and was signed 
        into law by President Bush in 1992, amended section 6 of the 
        Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Technology 
        Competitiveness Act of 1989 (42 U.S.C. 12005) to direct the 
        Secretary of Energy to conduct a 5-year program to 
        commercialize renewable energy and energy efficiency 
        technologies;
            (2) poll after poll shows that the American people 
        overwhelmingly believe that renewable energy and energy 
        efficiency technologies should be the highest priority of 
        Federal research, development, and demonstration activities;
            (3) renewable technologies (such as wind, photovoltaic, 
        solar thermal, geothermal, and biomass technology) have made 
        significant progress toward increased reliability and decreased 
        cost;
            (4) energy efficient technologies in the building, 
        industrial, transportation, and utility sectors have saved more 
        than 3 trillion dollars for industries, consumers, and the 
        Federal Government over the past 20 years while creating jobs, 
        improving the competitiveness of the economy, making housing 
        more affordable, and reducing the emissions of environmentally 
        damaging pollutants;
            (5) the renewable energy and energy efficiency technology 
        programs feature private sector cost shares that are among the 
        highest of Federal energy research and development programs;
            (6) according to the Energy Information Administration, the 
        United States currently imports more than 50 percent of its 
        oil, representing $46,000,000,000, or approximately 40 percent, 
        of the $116,000,000,000 total United States merchandise deficit 
        in 1993; and
            (7) renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies 
        represent potential inroads for American companies into export 
        markets for energy products and services estimated at least 
        $225,000,000,000 over the next 25 years.
    (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the 
assumptions underlying the functional totals in this resolution include 
the assumption that renewable energy and energy efficiency technology 
research, development, and demonstration activities should be given 
priority among the Federal energy research programs.

SEC. 328. FOREIGN SALES CORPORATIONS INCOME EXCLUSION.

    The assumption underlying the functional totals include that it is 
the sense of the Senate that cuts in student loan benefits should be 
minimized, and that the current exclusion of income of Foreign Sales 
Corporations should be eliminated.
            Attest:

                                                             Secretary.
