           <DELETED>public housing/section 8 moving to work 
                        demonstration</DELETED>

<DELETED>    Sec. 204. (a) Purpose.--The purpose of this demonstration 
is to give public housing agencies and the Secretary of Housing and 
Urban Development the flexibility to design and test various approaches 
for providing and administering housing assistance that: reduce cost 
and achieve greater cost effectiveness in Federal expenditures; give 
incentives to families with children where the head of household is 
working, seeking work, or is preparing for work by participating in job 
training, educational programs, or programs that assist people to 
obtain employment and become economically self-sufficient; and increase 
housing choices for low-income families.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (b) Program Authority.--The Secretary of Housing and Urban 
Development shall conduct a demonstration program under this section 
beginning in fiscal year 1996 under which up to 30 public housing 
agencies (including Indian housing authorities) administering the 
public or Indian housing program and the section 8 housing assistance 
payments program, administering a total number of public housing units 
not in excess of 25,000, may be selected by the Secretary to 
participate. The Secretary shall provide training and technical 
assistance during the demonstration and conduct detailed evaluations of 
up to 15 such agencies in an effort to identify replicable program 
models promoting the purpose of the demonstration. Under the 
demonstration, notwithstanding any provision of the United States 
Housing Act of 1937 except as provided in subsection (e), an agency may 
combine operating assistance provided under section 9 of the United 
States Housing Act of 1937, modernization assistance provided under 
section 14 of such Act, and assistance provided under section 8 of such 
Act for the certificate and voucher programs, to provide housing 
assistance for low-income families, as defined in section 3(b)(2) of 
the United States Housing Act of 1937, and services to facilitate the 
transition to work on such terms and conditions as the agency may 
propose and the Secretary may approve.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (c) Application.--An application to participate in the 
demonstration--</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) shall request authority to combine assistance 
        under sections 8, 9, and 14 of the United States Housing Act of 
        1937;</DELETED>

        housing agency provides for citizen participation through a 
        public hearing and, if appropriate, other means;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (3) shall include a plan developed by the agency 
        that takes into account comments from the public hearing and 
        any other public comments on the proposed program, and comments 
        from current and prospective residents who would be affected, 
        and that includes criteria for--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) families to be assisted, which shall 
                require that at least 75 percent of the families 
                assisted by participating demonstration public housing 
                authorities shall be very low-income families, as 
                defined in section 3(b)(2) of the United States Housing 
                Act of 1937, and at least 50 percent of the families 
                selected shall have incomes that do not exceed 30 
                percent of the median family income for the area, as 
                determined by the Secretary with adjustments for 
                smaller and larger families, except that the Secretary 
                may establish income ceilings higher or lower than 30 
                percent of the median for the area on the basis of the 
                Secretary's findings that such variations are necessary 
                because of unusually high or low family 
                income;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) establishing a reasonable rent policy, 
                which shall be designed to encourage employment and

                and</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (4) may request assistance for training and 
        technical assistance to assist with design of the demonstration 
        and to participate in a detailed evaluation.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (d) Selection.--In selecting among applications, the 
Secretary shall take into account the potential of each agency to plan 
and carry out a program under the demonstration, the relative 
performance by an agency under the public housing management assessment 
program under section 6(j) of the United States Housing Act of 1937, 
and other appropriate factors as determined by the Secretary.</DELETED>

        <DELETED>    (2) Section 12 of such Act shall apply to housing 
        assisted under the demonstration, other than housing assisted 
        solely due to occupancy by families receiving tenant-based 
        assistance.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (f) Effect on Section 8, Operating Subsidies, and 
Comprehensive Grant Program Allocations.--The amount of assistance

       <DELETED>fha multifamily demonstration authority</DELETED>

<DELETED>    Sec. 210. (a) On and after October 1, 1995, and before 
October 1, 1997, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall 
initiate a demonstration program with respect to multifamily projects 
whose owners agree to participate and whose mortgages are insured under 
the National Housing Act and that are assisted under section 8 of the 
United States Housing Act of 1937 and whose present section 8 rents 
are, in the aggregate, in excess of the fair market rent of the 
locality in which the project is located. These programs shall be 
designed to test the feasibility and desirability of the goal of 
ensuring, to the maximum extent practicable, that the debt service and 
operating expenses, including adequate reserves, attributable to such 
multifamily projects can be supported with or without mortgage 
insurance under the National Housing Act and with or without above-
market rents and utilizing project-based assistance or, with the 
consent of the property owner, tenant-based assistance, while taking 
into account the need for assistance of low- and very low-income 
families in such projects. In carrying out this demonstration, the 
Secretary may use arrangements with third parties, under which the 
Secretary may provide for the assumption by the third parties (by 
delegation, contract, or otherwise) of some or all of the functions, 
obligations, and benefits of the Secretary.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) Goals.--The Secretary of Housing and Urban 
        Development shall carry out the demonstration programs under 
        this section in a manner that--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) will protect the financial interests 
                of the Federal Government;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) will result in significant 
                discretionary cost savings through debt restructuring 
                and subsidy reduction; and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (C) will, in the least costly fashion, 
                address the goals of--</DELETED>
                        <DELETED>    (i) maintaining existing housing 
                        stock in a decent, safe, and sanitary 
                        condition;</DELETED>
                        <DELETED>    (ii) minimizing the involuntary 
                        displacement of tenants;</DELETED>
                        <DELETED>    (iii) restructuring the mortgages 
                        of such projects in a manner that is consistent 
                        with local housing market conditions;</DELETED>
                        <DELETED>    (iv) supporting fair housing 
                        strategies;</DELETED>
                        <DELETED>    (v) minimizing any adverse income 
                        tax impact on property owners; and</DELETED>
                        <DELETED>    (vi) minimizing any adverse impact 
                        on residential neighborhoods.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>In determining the manner in which a mortgage is to be 
        restructured or the subsidy reduced, the Secretary may balance 
        competing goals relating to individual projects in a manner 
        that will further the purposes of this section.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) Demonstration approaches.--In carrying out the 
        demonstration programs, subject to the appropriation in

                contract, or otherwise) of some or all of the 
                functions, obligations, and benefits of the 
                Secretary.</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) Subsidization of the debt service of

                <DELETED>    (C) Renewal of existing project-based 
                assistance contracts where the Secretary shall approve 
                proposed initial rent levels that do not exceed the 
                greater of 120 percent of fair market rents or 
                comparable market rents for the relevant metropolitan 
                market area or at rent levels under a budget-based 
                approach.</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (D) Nonrenewal of expiring existing 
                project-based assistance contracts and providing

under subsection (a), subject to such third party consents (if any) as 
are necessary including but not limited to (i) consent by the 
Government National Mortgage Association where it owns a mortgage

        The Secretary or third party may require an owner of a property

Services Corporation Act or this title.

        be expended by recipients for any purpose prohibited by this 
        Act or by the Legal Services Corporation Act.
    (e) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit a 
recipient from using funds derived from a source other than the Legal 
Services Corporation to comment on public rulemaking or to respond to a 
written request for information or testimony from a Federal, State or

    This title may be cited as the ``Prison Litigation Reform Act of 
1995''.

SEC. 802. APPROPRIATE REMEDIES FOR PRISON CONDITIONS.

    (a) In General.--Section 3626 of title 18, United States Code, is 
amended to read as follows:
``Sec. 3626. Appropriate remedies with respect to prison conditions
    ``(a) Requirements for Relief.--
            ``(1) Prospective relief.--(A) Prospective relief in any 
        civil action with respect to prison conditions shall extend no 
        further than necessary to correct the violation of the Federal 
        right of a particular plaintiff or plaintiffs. The court shall 
        not grant or approve any prospective relief unless the court 
        finds that such relief is narrowly drawn, extends no further 
        than necessary to correct the violation of the Federal right, 
        and is the least intrusive means necessary to correct the 
        violation of the Federal right. The court shall give 
        substantial weight to any adverse impact on public safety or 
        the operation of a criminal justice system caused by the 
        relief.
            ``(B) The court shall not order any prospective relief that 
        requires or permits a government official to exceed his or her 
        authority under State or local law or otherwise violates State 
        or local law, unless--
                    ``(i) Federal law permits such relief to be ordered 
                in violation of State or local law;
                    ``(ii) the relief is necessary to correct the 
                violation of a Federal right; and
                    ``(iii) no other relief will correct the violation 
                of the Federal right.
            ``(C) Nothing in this section shall be construed to 
        authorize the courts, in exercising their remedial powers, to 
        order the construction of prisons or the raising of taxes, or 
        to repeal or detract from otherwise applicable limitations on 
        the remedial powers of the courts.
            ``(2) Preliminary injunctive relief.--In any civil action 
        with respect to prison conditions, to the extent otherwise 
        authorized by law, the court may enter a temporary restraining 
        order or an order for preliminary injunctive relief. 
        Preliminary injunctive relief must be narrowly drawn, extend no 
        further than necessary to correct the harm the court finds 
        requires preliminary relief, and be the least intrusive means 
        necessary to correct that harm. The court shall give 
        substantial weight to any adverse impact on public safety or 
        the operation of a criminal justice system caused by the 
        preliminary relief and shall respect the principles of comity 
        set out in paragraph (1)(B) in tailoring any preliminary 
        relief. Preliminary injunctive relief shall automatically 
        expire on the date that is 90 days after its entry, unless the 
        court makes the findings required under subsection (a)(1) for 
        the entry of prospective relief and makes the order final 
        before the expiration of the 90-day period.
            ``(3) Prisoner release order.--(A) In any civil action with 
        respect to prison conditions, no prisoner release order shall 
        be entered unless--

confined. To the extent practicable, the court shall allow counsel to 
participate by telephone, video conference, or other communications 
technology in any hearing held at the facility.

reply to any action brought by a prisoner confined in any jail, prison, 
or other correctional facility under section 1979 of the Revised 
Statutes of the United States (42 U.S.C. 1983) or any other Federal 
law. Notwithstanding any other law or rule of procedure, such waiver

complaint. No relief shall be granted to the plaintiff unless a reply 
has been filed.

brought under this section if it finds that the plaintiff has a 
reasonable opportunity to prevail on the merits.

SEC. 2852. PRIMARY PURPOSE AND FINDINGS.

    (a) Purpose.--The primary purpose of the Consensus Commission is to 
assist in developing a long-term reform plan that has the support of 
the District of Columbia community through the participation of 
representatives of various critical segments of such community in 
helping to develop and approve the plan.
    (b) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) experience has shown that the failure of the District 
        of Columbia educational system has been due more to the failure 
        to implement a plan than the failure to develop a plan;
            (2) national studies indicate that 50 percent of secondary 
        school graduates lack basic literacy skills, and over 30 
        percent of the 7th grade students in the District of Columbia 
        public schools drop out of school before graduating;
            (3) standard student assessments indicate only average 
        performance for grade level and fail to identify individual 
        students who lack basic skills, allowing too many students to 
        graduate lacking these basic skills and diminishing the worth 
        of a diploma;
            (4) experience has shown that successful schools have good 
        community, parent, and business involvement;
            (5) experience has shown that reducing dropout rates in the 
        critical middle and secondary school years requires individual 
        student involvement and attention through such activities as 
        arts or athletics; and
            (6) experience has shown that close coordination between 
        educators and business persons is required to provide 
        noncollege-bound students the skills necessary for employment, 
        and that personal attention is vitally important to assist each 
        student in developing an appropriate career path.

SEC. 2853. DUTIES AND POWERS OF THE CONSENSUS COMMISSION.

        in such teacher's class;
            (4) make recommendations to improve community, parent, and

        as a result of such review, the extent to which a set-aside for 
        maintenance would enhance the life of the project, the degree 
        to which a local cost-share requirement would be consistent 
        with local economic and fiscal capabilities, and may propose an

        remain available without fiscal year limitation, as an 
        emergency fund in the event of natural or other disasters to 
        supplement other assistance in the repair, replacement, or 
        hardening of essential facilities: Provided further, That the

        exceed $10,000,000 at any time.
    ``(d) Within the amounts allocated for infrastructure pursuant to 
this section, and subject to the specific allocations made in 
subsection (c), additional contributions may be made, as set forth in 
appropriations Acts, to assist in the resettlement of Rongelap Atoll: 
Provided, That the total of all contributions from any Federal source 
after enactment of this Act may not exceed $32,000,000 and shall be 
contingent upon an agreement, satisfactory to the President, that such 
contributions are a full and final settlement of all obligations of the 
United States to assist in the resettlement of Rongelop Atoll and that 
such funds will be expended solely on resettlement activities and will 
be properly audited and accounted for. In order to provide such 
contributions in a timely manner, each Federal agency providing 
assistance or services, or conducting activities, in the Republic of 
the Marshall Islands, is authorized to make funds available through the 
Secretary of the Interior, to assist in the resettlement of Rongelap. 
Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to limit the provision of 
ex gratia assistance pursuant to section 105(c)(2) of the Compact of 
Free Association Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-239, 99 Stat. 1770, 1792) 
including for individuals choosing not to resettle at Rongelap, except 
that no such assistance for such individuals may be provided until the 
Secretary notifies the Congress that the full amount of all funds 
necessary for resettlement at Rongelap has been provided.''.

    Sec. 326. (a) Land Exchange.--The Secretary of the Interior 
(hereinafter referred to as the ``Secretary'') is authorized to convey 
to the Boise Cascade Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the

    (2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the United States 
shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to any hazardous 
wastes or other substances placed on any of the lands covered by this 
Act after their transfer to the ownership of any party, but nothing in 
this Act shall be construed as either diminishing or increasing any 
responsibility or liability of the United States based on the condition 
of such lands on the date of their transfer to the ownership of another 
party. The Corporation shall indemnify the United States for 
liabilities arising under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. 9601), and the Resource

``Agriculture Fund'' and ``Interior Fund'' or ``Funds''). Any revenues 
received from sales released under section 2001(k) of the fiscal year 
1995 Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Assistance and 
Rescissions Act, minus the funds necessary to make payments to States 
or local governments under other law concerning the distribution of 
revenues derived from the affected lands, which are in excess of 
$37,500,000 (hereinafter ``excess revenues'') shall be deposited into 
the Funds. The distribution of excess revenues between the Agriculture 
Fund and Interior Fund shall be calculated by multiplying the total of 
excess revenues times a fraction with a denominator of the total 
revenues received from all sales released under such section 2001(k) 
and numerators of the total revenues received from such sales on lands 
within the National Forest System and the total revenues received from 
such sales on lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management, 
respectively: Provided, That revenues or portions thereof from sales 
released under such section 2001(k), minus the amounts necessary for 
State and local government payments and other necessary deposits, may 
be deposited into the Funds immediately upon receipt thereof and 
subsequently redistributed between the Funds or paid into the United 
States Treasury as miscellaneous receipts as may be required when the 
calculation of excess revenues is made.
    (b)(1) From the funds deposited into the Agriculture Fund and into 
the Interior Fund pursuant to subsection (a)--
            (A) seventy-five percent shall be available, without fiscal 
        year limitation or further appropriation, for preparation of 
        timber sales, other than salvage sales as defined in section 
        2001(a)(3) of the fiscal year 1995 Supplemental Appropriations 
        for Disaster Assistance and Rescissions Act, which--
                    (i) are situated on lands within the National 
                Forest System and lands administered by the Bureau of 
                Land Management, respectively; and
                    (ii) are in addition to timber sales for which 
                funds are otherwise available in this Act or other 
                appropriations Acts; and
            (B) twenty-five percent shall be available, without fiscal 
        year limitation or further appropriation, to expend on the 
        backlog of recreation projects on lands within the National 
        Forest System and lands administered by the Bureau of Land 
        Management, respectively.
    (2) Expenditures under this subsection for preparation of timber 
sales may include expenditures for Forest Service activities within the 
forest land management budget line item and associated timber roads, 
and Bureau of Land Management activities within the Oregon and 
California grant lands account and the forestry management area 
account, as determined by the Secretary concerned.
    (c) Revenues received from any timber sale prepared under 
subsection (b) or under this subsection, minus the amounts necessary 
for State and local government payments and other necessary deposits, 
shall be deposited into the Fund from which funds were expended on such 
sale. Such deposited revenues shall be available for preparation of 
additional timber sales and completion of additional recreation 
projects in accordance with the requirements set forth in subsection 
(b).
    (d) The Secretary concerned shall terminate all payments into the 
Agriculture Fund or the Interior Fund, and pay any unobligated funds in 
the affected Fund into the United States Treasury as miscellaneous 
receipts, whenever the Secretary concerned makes a finding, published 
in the Federal Register, that sales sufficient to achieve the total 
allowable sales quantity of the National Forest System for the Forest 
Service or the allowable sales level for the Oregon and California 
grant lands for the Bureau of Land Management, respectively, have been 
prepared.
    (e) Any timber sales prepared and recreation projects completed 
under this section shall comply with all applicable environmental and 
natural resource laws and regulations.
    (f) The Secretary concerned shall report annually to the Committees 
on Appropriations of the United States Senate and the House of 
Representatives on expenditures made from the Fund for timber sales and 
recreation projects, revenues received into the Fund from timber sales, 
and timber sale preparation and recreation project work undertaken 
during the previous year and projected for the next year under the 
Fund. Such information shall be provided for each Forest Service region 
and Bureau of Land Management State office.
    (g) The authority of this section shall terminate upon the 
termination of both Funds in accordance with the provisions of 
subsection (d).

        that no funding provided through a grant, except a grant made 
        to a State or regional group, may be used to make a grant to 
        any other organization or individual to conduct activity 
        independent of the direct grant recipient. Nothing in this 
        subsection shall prohibit payments made in exchange for goods 
        and services.
            (c) No grant shall be used for seasonal support to a group, 
        unless the application is specific to the contents of the

                results,'' and inserting ``if damage to the property of 
                any individual results or if avoidance costs have been 
                incurred exceeding $10,000, in the aggregate,''; and
                    (D) in paragraph (4), by striking ``ten'' and

are--
            (1) ``The arts and humanities belong to all the people of 
        the United States'';
            (2) ``The arts and humanities reflect the high place 
        accorded by the American people .  .  . to the fostering of 
        mutual respect for the diverse beliefs and values of all 
        persons and groups'';
            (3) ``Public funding of the arts and humanities is subject 
        to the conditions that traditionally govern the use of public 
        money [and] such funding should contribute to public support 
        and confidence in the use of taxpayer funds''; and
            (4) ``Public funds provided by the Federal Government must 
        ultimately serve public purposes the Congress defines''.
    (b) Additional Congressional Findings.--Congress further finds and 
declares that the use of scarce funds, which have been taken from all 
taxpayers of the United States, to promote, disseminate, sponsor, or 
produce any material or performance that--
            (1) denigrates the religious objects or religious beliefs 
        of the adherents of a particular religion, or
            (2) depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, 
        sexual or excretory activities or organs,
is contrary to the express purposes of the National Foundation on the 
Arts and the Humanities Act of 1965, as amended.
    (c) Prohibition on Funding That Is Not Consistent With the Purposes 
of the Act.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, none of the 
scarce funds which have been taken from all taxpayers of the United 
States and made available under this Act to the National Endowment for 
the Arts may be used to promote, disseminate, sponsor, or produce any 
material or performance that--
            (1) denigrates the religious objects or religious beliefs 
        of the adherents of a particular religion, or
            (2) depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, 
        sexual or excretory activities or organs,
and this prohibition shall be strictly applied without regard to the 
content or viewpoint of the material or performance.
    (d) Section Not To Affect Other Works.--Nothing in this section

would restrain domestic transportation or processing of timber from 
private lands or impose additional accountability requirements on any 
timber. The Secretary of Commerce shall extend until September 30, 
1996, the order issued under section 491(b)(2)(A) of Public Law 101-382 
and shall issue an order under section 491(b)(2)(B) of such law that

standard, as applicable, under existing program rules and procedures:

    Sec. 201. (a) Public and Indian Housing Modernization.--
            (1) Expansion of use of modernization funding.--Subsection 
        14(q) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 is amended to 
        read as follows:
    ``(q)(1) In addition to the purposes enumerated in subsections (a) 
and (b), a public housing agency may use modernization assistance 
provided under section 14, and development assistance provided under 
section 5(a) that was not allocated, as determined by the Secretary, 
for priority replacement housing, for any eligible activity authorized 
by this section, by section 5, or by applicable Appropriations Acts for 
a public housing agency, including the demolition, rehabilitation, 
revitalization, and replacement of existing units and projects and, for 
up to 10 percent of its allocation of such funds in any fiscal year, 
for any operating subsidy purpose authorized in section 9. Except for 
assistance used for operating subsidy purposes under the preceding 
sentence, assistance provided to a public housing agency under this 
section shall principally be used for the physical improvement, 
replacement of public housing, other capital purposes, and for 
associated management improvements, and such other extraordinary 
purposes as may be approved by the Secretary. Low-income and very low-
income units assisted under this paragraph shall be eligible for 
operating subsidies, unless the Secretary determines that such units or 
projects do not meet other requirements of this Act.
    ``(2) A public housing agency may provide assistance to 
developments that include units for other than units assisted under 
this Act (except for units assisted under section 8 hereof) (`mixed 
income developments'), in the form of a grant, loan, operating 
assistance, or other form of investment which may be made to--
            ``(A) a partnership, a limited liability company, or other 
        legal entity in which the public housing agency or its 
        affiliate is a general partner, managing member, or otherwise 
        participates in the activities of such entity; or
            ``(B) any entity which grants to the public housing agency 
        the option to purchase the development within 20 years after 
        initial occupancy in accordance with section 42(i)(7) of the 
        Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
            ``Units shall be made available in such developments for 
        periods of not less than 30 years, by master contract or by 
        individual lease, for occupancy by low-income and very low-
        income families referred from time to time by the public 
        housing agency from its central or site-based waiting list. The 
        number of such units shall be:
                    ``(i) in the same proportion to the total number of 
                units in such development that the total financial 
                commitment provided by the public housing agency bears 
                to the value of the total financial commitment in the 
                development, or
                    ``(ii) not be less than the number of units that 
                could have been developed under the conventional public 
                housing program with the assistance involved, or
                    ``(iii) as may otherwise be approved by the 
                Secretary.
    ``(3) A mixed income development may elect to have all units 
subject only to the applicable local real estate taxes, notwithstanding 
that the low-income units assisted by public housing funds would 
otherwise be subject to section 6(d) of the Housing Act of 1937.
    ``(4) If an entity that owns or operates a mixed-income project 
under this subsection enters into a contract with a public housing 
agency, the terms of which obligate the entity to operate and maintain 
a specified number of units in the project as public housing units in 
accordance with the requirements of this Act for the period required by 
law, such contractual terms may provide that, if, as a result of a 
reduction in appropriations under section 9, or any other change in 
applicable law, the public housing agency is unable to fulfill its 
contractual obligations with respect to those public housing units, 
that entity may deviate, under procedures and requirements developed 
through regulations by the Secretary, from otherwise applicable 
restrictions under this Act regarding rents, income eligibility, and 
other areas of public housing management with respect to a portion or 
all of those public housing units, to the extent necessary to preserve 
the viability of those units while maintaining the low-income character 
of the units, to the maximum extent practicable.''.
            (2) Applicability.--Section 14(q) of the United States 
        Housing Act of 1937, as amended by subsection (a) of this 
        section, shall be effective only with respect to assistance 
        provided from funds made available for fiscal year 1996 or any 
        preceding fiscal year.
            (3) Applicability to IHAs.--In accordance with section 
        201(b)(2) of the United States Housing Act of 1937, the 
        amendment made by this subsection shall apply to public housing 
        developed or operated pursuant to a contract between the 
        Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and an Indian 
        housing authority.
    (b) One-for-One Replacement of Public and Indian Housing.--
            (1) Extended authority.--Section 1002(d) of Public Law 104-
        19 is amended to read as follows:
    ``(d) Subsections (a), (b), and (c) shall be effective for 
applications for the demolition, disposition, or conversion to 
homeownership of public housing approved by the Secretary, and other 
consolidation and relocation activities of public housing agencies 
undertaken, on, before, or after September 30, 1995 and before 
September 30, 1996.''.
            (2) Section 18(f) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 
        is amended by adding at the end the following new sentence:
``No one may rely on the preceding sentence as the basis for 
reconsidering a final order of a court issued, or a settlement approved 
by, a court.''.
            (3) Applicability.--In accordance with section 201(b)(2) of 
        the United States Housing Act of 1937, the amendments made by 
        this subsection and by sections 1002 (a), (b), and (c) of 
        Public Law 104-19 shall apply to public housing developed or 
        operated pursuant to a contract between the Secretary of 
        Housing and Urban Development and an Indian housing authority.

                    (B) in the case of high-rise family buildings or 
                substantially vacant buildings; 300 dwelling units;
            (3) that have a vacancy rate of at least 10 percent for 
        dwelling units not in funded, on schedule modernization 
        programs;
            (4) identified as distressed housing that the public 
        housing agency cannot assure the long-term viability as public 
        housing through reasonable revitalization, density reduction, 
        or achievement of a broader range of household income; and
            (5) for which the estimated cost of continued operation and 
        modernization of the developments as public housing exceeds the 
        cost of providing tenant-based assistance under section 8 of 
        the United States Housing Act of 1937 for all families in 
        occupancy, based on appropriate indicators of cost (such as the 
        percentage of total development cost required for 
        modernization).
    (b) Implementation and Enforcement.--
            (1) Standards for implementation.--The Secretary shall

        with the applicable public housing tenants and the unit of

        the Secretary determines that--
                    (A) a public housing agency has failed under 
                subsection (a) to identify public housing developments 
                for removal from the inventory of the agency in a 
                timely manner;
                    (B) a public housing agency has failed to identify 
                one or more public housing developments which the 
                Secretary determines should have been identified under 
                subsection (a); or
                    (C) one or more of the developments identified by 
                the public housing agency pursuant to subsection (a) 
                should not, in the determination of the Secretary, have 
                been identified under that subsection;
        the Secretary may designate the developments to be removed from 
        the inventory of the public housing agency pursuant to this 
        section.
    (c) Removal of Units From the Inventories of Public Housing 
Agencies.--
            (1) Each public housing agency shall develop and carry out 
        a plan in conjunction with the Secretary for the removal of 
        public housing units identified under subsection (a) or 
        subsection (b)(3), over a period of up to five years, from the 
        inventory of the public housing agency and the annual 
        contributions contract. The plan shall be approved by the 
        relevant local official as not inconsistent with the 
        Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy under title I of 
        the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992, including a 
        description of any disposition and demolition plan for the 
        public housing units.
            (2) The Secretary may extend the deadline in paragraph (1) 
        for up to an additional five years where the Secretary makes a 
        determination that the deadline is impracticable.
            (3) The Secretary shall take appropriate actions to ensure 
        removal of developments identified under subsection (a) or 
        subsection (b)(3) from the inventory of a public housing 
        agency, if the public housing agency fails to adequately 
        develop a plan under paragraph (1), or fails to adequately 
        implement such plan in accordance with the terms of the plan.
            (4) To the extent approved in appropriations Acts, the 
        Secretary may establish requirements and provide funding under

        and disposition of public housing under this section.
            (5) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if a 
        development is removed from the inventory of a public housing 
        agency and the annual contributions contract pursuant to 
        paragraph (1), the Secretary may authorize or direct the 
        transfer of--
                    (A) in the case of an agency receiving assistance 
                under the comprehensive improvement assistance program, 
                any amounts obligated by the Secretary for the

                14 of the United States Housing Act of 1937;
                    (B) in the case of an agency receiving public and

                of 1937, any amounts provided to the agency which are 
                attributable pursuant to the formula for allocating 
                such assistance to the development removed from the 
                inventory of that agency; and
                    (C) in the case of an agency receiving assistance 
                for the major reconstruction of obsolete projects, any 
                amounts obligated by the Secretary for the major 
                reconstruction of the development pursuant to section 5 
                of such Act,

        the public housing agency to cease additional spending in 
        connection with the development, except to the extent that 
        additional spending is necessary to ensure decent, safe, and 
        sanitary housing until the Secretary determines or approves an 
        appropriate course of action with respect to such development

give public housing agencies and the Secretary of Housing and Urban 
Development the flexibility to design and test various approaches for 
providing and administering housing assistance that: reduce cost and 
achieve greater cost effectiveness in Federal expenditures; give 
incentives to families with children where the head of household is 
working, seeking work, or is preparing for work by participating in job

payments program may be selected by the Secretary to participate. The 
Secretary shall provide training and technical assistance during the 
demonstration and conduct detailed evaluations of up to 15 such 
agencies in an effort to identify replicable program models promoting 
the purpose of the demonstration. Under the demonstration, 
notwithstanding any provision of the United States Housing Act of 1937 
except as provided in subsection (e), an agency may combine operating 
assistance provided under section 9 of the United States Housing Act of 
1937, modernization assistance provided under section 14 of such Act,

and voucher programs, to provide housing assistance for low-income 
families, as defined in section 3(b)(2) of the United States Housing 
Act of 1937, and services to facilitate the transition to work on such 
terms and conditions as the agency may propose and the Secretary may 
approve.

                the purpose of this demonstration, such as by excluding 
                some or all of a family's earned income for purposes of 
                determining rent;
                    (C) continuing to assist substantially the same

                amounts not been used under the demonstration; and
                    (E) assuring that housing assisted under the

                fha multifamily demonstration authority

1997, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall initiate a 
demonstration program with respect to multifamily projects whose owners 
agree to participate and whose mortgages are insured under the National 
Housing Act and that are assisted under section 8 of the United States 
Housing Act of 1937 and whose present section 8 rents are, in the 
aggregate, in excess of the fair market rent of the locality in which 
the project is located. These programs shall be designed to test the 
feasibility and desirability of the goal of ensuring, to the maximum 
extent practicable, that the debt service and operating expenses, 
including adequate reserves, attributable to such multifamily projects 
can be supported with or without mortgage insurance under the National 
Housing Act and with or without above-market rents and utilizing 
project-based assistance or, with the consent of the property owner, 
tenant-based assistance, while taking into account the need for 
assistance of low- and very low-income families in such projects. In 
carrying out this demonstration, the Secretary may use arrangements 
with third parties, under which the Secretary may provide for the 
assumption by the third parties (by delegation, contract, or otherwise) 
of some or all of the functions, obligations, and benefits of the 
Secretary.
            (1) Goals.--The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development 
        shall carry out the demonstration programs under this section 
        in a manner that--
                    (A) will protect the financial interests of the 
                Federal Government;
                    (B) will result in significant discretionary cost 
                savings through debt restructuring and subsidy 
                reduction; and
                    (C) will, in the least costly fashion, address the 
                goals of--
                            (i) maintaining existing housing stock in a 
                        decent, safe, and sanitary condition;
                            (ii) minimizing the involuntary 
                        displacement of tenants;
                            (iii) restructuring the mortgages of such 
                        projects in a manner that is consistent with 
                        local housing market conditions;
                            (iv) supporting fair housing strategies;
                            (v) minimizing any adverse income tax 
                        impact on property owners; and
                            (vi) minimizing any adverse impact on 
                        residential neighborhoods.
        In determining the manner in which a mortgage is to be 
        restructured or the subsidy reduced, the Secretary may balance 
        competing goals relating to individual projects in a manner 
        that will further the purposes of this section.
            (2) Demonstration approaches.--In carrying out the 
        demonstration programs, subject to the appropriation in 
        subsection (f), the Secretary may use one or more of the 
        following approaches:
                    (A) Joint venture arrangements with third parties, 
                under which the Secretary may provide for the 
                assumption by the third parties (by delegation, 
                contract, or otherwise) of some or all of the 
                functions, obligations, and benefits of the Secretary.
                    (B) Subsidization of the debt service of the 
                project to a level that can be paid by an owner 
                receiving an unsubsidized market rent.
                    (C) Renewal of existing project-based assistance 
                contracts where the Secretary shall approve proposed 
                initial rent levels that do not exceed the greater of 
                120 percent of fair market rents or comparable market 
                rents for the relevant metropolitan market area or at 
                rent levels under a budget-based approach.
                    (D) Nonrenewal of expiring existing project-based 
                assistance contracts and providing tenant-based 
                assistance to previously assisted households.
    (b) For purposes of carrying out demonstration programs under 
subsection (a)--
            (1) the Secretary may manage and dispose of multifamily 
        properties owned by the Secretary as of October 1, 1995 and 
        multifamily mortgages held by the Secretary as of October 1, 
        1995 for properties assisted under section 8 with rents above 
        110 percent of fair market rents without regard to any other 
        provision of law; and
            (2) the Secretary may delegate to one or more entities the 
        authority to carry out some or all of the functions and 
        responsibilities of the Secretary in connection with the 
        foreclosure of mortgages held by the Secretary under the 
        National Housing Act.
    (c) For purposes of carrying out demonstration programs under 
subsection (a), subject to such third party consents (if any) as are 
necessary including but not limited to (i) consent by the Government 
National Mortgage Association where it owns a mortgage insured by the 
Secretary; (ii) consent by an issuer under the mortgage-backed 
securities program of the Association, subject to the responsibilities 
of the issuer to its security holders and the Association under such 
program; and (iii) parties to any contractual agreement which the 
Secretary proposes to modify or discontinue, and subject to the 
appropriation in subsection (c), the Secretary or one or more third 
parties designated by the Secretary may take the following actions:
            (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, and subject 
        to the agreement of the project owner, the Secretary or third 
        party may remove, relinquish, extinguish, modify, or agree to 
        the removal of any mortgage, regulatory agreement, project-
        based assistance contract, use agreement, or restriction that 
        had been imposed or required by the Secretary, including 
        restrictions on distributions of income which the Secretary or 
        third party determines would interfere with the ability of the 
        project to operate without above market rents. The Secretary or 
        third party may require an owner of a property assisted under 
        the section 8 new construction/substantial rehabilitation 
        program to apply any accumulated residual receipts toward 
        effecting the purposes of this section.
            (2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the 
        Secretary of Housing and Urban Development may enter into 
        contracts to purchase reinsurance, or enter into participations 
        or otherwise transfer economic interest in contracts of 
        insurance or in the premiums paid, or due to be paid, on such 
        insurance to third parties, on such terms and conditions as the 
        Secretary may determine.
            (3) The Secretary may offer project-based assistance with 
        rents at or below fair market rents for the locality in which 
        the project is located and may negotiate such other terms as 
        are acceptable to the Secretary and the project owner.
            (4) The Secretary may offer to pay all or a portion of the 
        project's debt service, including payments monthly from the 
        appropriate Insurance Fund, for the full remaining term of the 
        insured mortgage.
            (5) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the 
        Secretary may forgive and cancel any FHA-insured mortgage debt 
        that a demonstration program property cannot carry at market 
        rents while bearing full operating costs.
            (6) For demonstration program properties that cannot carry 
        full operating costs (excluding debt service) at market rents, 
        the Secretary may approve project-based rents sufficient to 
        carry such full operating costs and may offer to pay the full 
        debt service in the manner provided in paragraph (4).
    (d) Community and Tenant Input.--In carrying out this section, the

guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration, as authorized by this

                        of the fiscal year and the repayment date for 
                        the old capital investment.
    (c) Interest Rate for New Principal Amounts.--
            As of October 1, 1996, the unpaid balance on the new 
        principal amount established for an old capital investment 
        under subsection (b) bears interest annually at the Treasury 
        rate for the old capital investment until the earlier of the 
        date that the new principal amount is repaid or the repayment 
        date for the new principal amount.
    (d) Repayment Dates.--
            As of October 1, 1996, the repayment date for the new 
        principal amount established for an old capital investment 
        under subsection (b) is no earlier than the repayment date for 
        the old capital investment assumed in subsection (b)(3)(A).
    (e) Prepayment Limitations.--
            During the period October 1, 1996, through September 30, 
        2001, the total new principal amounts of old capital

        shall not exceed $100,000,000.
    (f) Interest Rates for New Capital Investments During 
Construction.--
            (1) New capital investment.--The principal amount of a new 
        capital investment includes interest in each fiscal year of 
        construction of the related project, facility, or separable 
        unit or feature at a rate equal to the one-year rate for the 
        fiscal year on the sum of--
                    (A) construction expenditures that were made from 
                the date construction commenced through the end of the 
                fiscal year, and
                    (B) accrued interest during construction.
            (2) Payment.--The Administrator is not required to pay, 
        during construction of the project, facility, or separable unit 
        or feature, the interest calculated, accrued, and capitalized 
        under subsection (f)(1).
            (3) One-year rate.--For the purposes of this section, 
        ``one-year rate'' for a fiscal year means a rate determined by 
        the Secretary of the Treasury, taking into consideration 
        prevailing market yields, during the month preceding the 
        beginning of the fiscal year, on outstanding interest-bearing 
        obligations of the United States with periods to maturity of 
        approximately one year.
    (g) Interest Rates for New Capital Investments.--
            The unpaid balance on the principal amount of a new capital 
        investment bears interest at the Treasury rate for the new 
        capital investment from the date the related project, facility, 
        or separable unit or feature is placed in service until the 
        earlier of the date the new capital investment is repaid or the 
        repayment date for the new capital investment.

Treasury.--
            The Confederated Tribe of the Colville Reservation Grand

        Administrator to sell electric power, transmission, or related 
        services, and that is in effect after September 30, 1996, the 
        Administrator shall offer to include, or as the case may be, 
        shall offer to amend to include, provisions specifying that 
        after September 30, 1996--

                charges on the basis that--
                            (A) the principal amount of an old capital 
                        investment shall be no greater than the new

                            (B) the interest rate applicable to the 
                        unpaid balance of the new principal amount of 
                        an old capital investment shall be no greater 
                        than the interest rate established under 
                        subsection (c);
                            (C) any payment of principal of an old

                        principal balance of the old capital investment 
                        in the amount of the payment at the time the 
                        payment is tendered; and
                            (D) any payment of interest on the unpaid 
                        balance of the new principal amount of an old 
                        capital investment shall be a credit against 
                        the appropriate interest account in the amount 
                        of the payment at the time the payment is 
                        tendered;
                    (2) apart from charges necessary to repay the new

                established under subsection (b) and to pay the 
                interest on the principal amount under subsection (c), 
                no amount may be charged for return to the United 
                States Treasury as repayment for or return on an old 
                capital investment, whether by way of rate, rent, lease 
                payment, assessment, user charge, or any other fee;
                    (3) amounts provided under section 1304 of title 
                31, United States Code, shall be available to pay, and 
                shall be the sole source for payment of, a judgment 
                against or settlement by the Administrator or the 
                United States on a claim for a breach of the contract 
                provisions required by this Part; and
                    (4) the contract provisions specified in this Part 
                do not--
                            (A) preclude the Administrator from 
                        recovering, through rates or other means, any 
                        tax that is generally imposed on electric 
                        utilities in the United States, or
                            (B) affect the Administrator's authority

        the principal, only from the ``Administrator's net proceeds,''

        Transmission System Act (16 U.S.C. 838k(b)).
            (2) Payment of capital investment.--Except as provided in

SEC. 3013. ESTABLISHMENT OF PROHIBITION AGAINST ABORTION-RELATED

    Part B of title II of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 238 
et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following section:

``abortion-related discrimination in governmental activities regarding 
                  training and licensing of physicians

    ``Sec. 245. (a) In General.--The Federal Government, and any State 
or local government that receives Federal financial assistance, may not 
subject any health care entity to discrimination on the basis that--
            ``(1) the entity refuses to undergo training in the 
        performance of induced abortions, to require or provide such 
        training, to perform such abortions, or to provide referrals 
        for such training or such abortions;
            ``(2) the entity refuses to make arrangements for any of 
        the activities specified in paragraph (1); or
            ``(3) the entity attends (or attended) a postgraduate 
        physician training program, or any other program of training in 
        the health professions, that does not (or did not) perform 
        induced abortions or require, provide or refer for training in 
        the performance of induced abortions, or make arrangements for 
        the provision of such training.
    ``(b) Accreditation of Postgraduate Physician Training Programs.--
            ``(1) In general.--In determining whether to grant a legal 
        status to a health care entity (including a license or 
        certificate), or to provide such entity with financial 
        assistance, services or other benefits, the Federal Government, 
        or any State or local government that receives Federal 
        financial assistance, shall deem accredited any postgraduate 
        physician training program that would be accredited but for the 
        accrediting agency's reliance upon an accreditation standards 
        that requires an entity to perform an induced abortion or 
        require, provide, or refer for training in the performance of 
        induced abortions, or make arrangements for such training, 
        regardless of whether such standard provides exceptions or 
        exemptions. The government involved shall formulate such 
        regulations or other mechanisms, or enter into such agreements 
        with accrediting agencies, as are necessary to comply with this 
        subsection.
            ``(2) Rules of construction.--
                    ``(A) In general.--With respect to subclauses (I) 
                and (II) of section 705(a)(2)(B)(i) (relating to a 
                program of insured loans for training in the health 
                professions), the requirements in such subclauses 
                regarding accredited internship or residency programs 
                are subject to paragraph (1) of this subsection.
                    ``(B) Exceptions.--This section shall not--
                            ``(i) prevent any health care entity from 
                        voluntarily electing to be trained, to train, 
                        or to arrange for training in the performance 
                        of, to perform, or to make referrals for 
                        induced abortions; or

                        applicable only to those individuals who have 
                        voluntarily elected to perform abortions.
    ``(c) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:
            ``(1) The term `financial assistance', with respect to a 
        government program, includes governmental payments provided as 
        reimbursement for carrying out health-related activities.
            ``(2) The term `health care entity' includes an individual 
        physician, a postgraduate physician training program, and a 
        participant in a program of training in the health professions.
            ``(3) The term `postgraduate physician training program' 
        includes a residency training program.''.
    Sec. 3014. (a) The Senate finds that:
            (1) Record low temperatures across the country this winter, 
        coupled with record snowfalls in many areas, have generated 
        substantial and sustained demand among eligible low-income 
        Americans for home heating assistance, and put many who face 
        heating-related crises at risk.
            (2) Home heating assistance for working and low-income 
        families with children, the elderly on fixed incomes, the 
        disabled, and others who need such help is a critical part of 
        the social safety net in cold-weather areas.
            (3) The President has released approximately $900,000,000 
        in regular Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) 
        funding for this year, compared to a funding level of 
        $1,319,000,000 last year, and a large LIHEAP funding shortfall 
        remains which has adversely affected eligible recipients in 
        many cold-weather States.
            (4) LIHEAP is a highly targeted, cost-effective way to help 
        approximately 6 million low-income Americans to pay their 
        energy bills. More than two-thirds of LIHEAP-eligible 
        households have annual incomes of less than $8,000; more than 
        one-half have annual incomes below $6,000.
            (5) LIHEAP program funding has been substantially reduced 
        in recent years, and cannot sustain any further spending cuts 
        if the program is to remain a viable means of meeting the home 
        heating and other energy-related needs of low-income people in 
        cold-weather States.
            (6) Traditionally, LIHEAP has received advance 
        appropriations for the next fiscal year. This allows States to 
        properly plan for the upcoming winter and best serve the energy 
        needs of low-income families.
            (7) Congress was not able to pass an appropriations bill 
        for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and 
        Education by the beginning of this fiscal year and it was only 
        because LIHEAP received advance appropriations last fiscal year 
        that the President was able to release the $578,000,000 he did 
        in December--the bulk of the funds made available to the States 
        this winter.
            (8) There is currently available to the President up to 
        $300,000,000 in emergency LIHEAP funding, which could be made 
        available immediately, on a targeted basis, to meet the urgent 
        home heating needs of eligible persons who otherwise could be 
        faced with heating-related emergencies, including shut-offs, in 
        the coming weeks.
    (b) Therefore, it is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) the President should release immediately a substantial 
        portion of available emergency funding for the Low Income Home 
        Energy Assistance Program for fiscal year 1996, to help meet 
        continuing urgent needs for home heating assistance during this 
        unusually cold winter; and
            (2) not less than the $1,000,000,000 in regular advance-
        appropriated LIHEAP funding for next winter provided for in 
        this bill should be retained in a House-Senate conference on 
        this measure.

SEC. 3015. LAND EXCHANGE

    (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Greens Creek 
Land Exchange Act of 1996''.
    (b) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act 
        established the Admiralty Island National Monument and sections 
        503 and 504 of that Act provided special provisions under which 
        the Greens Creek Claims would be developed. The provisions 
        supplemented the general mining laws under which these claims 
        were staked.
            (2) The Kennecott Greens Creek Mining Company, Inc., 
        currently holds title to the Greens Creek Claims, and the area 
        surrounding these claims has further mineral potential which is 
        yet unexplored.
            (3) Negotiations between the United States Forest Service 
        and the Kennecott Greens Creek Mining Company, Inc., have 
        resulted in an agreement by which the area surrounding the 
        Greens Creek Claims could be explored and developed under terms

hexafluoride equivalent to the natural uranium component of low-
enriched uranium derived from at least 18 metric tons of highly 
enriched uranium purchased from the Russian Executive Agent under the 
Russian HEU Agreement. The quantity of such uranium hexafluoride 
delivered to the Secretary shall be based on a tails assay of 0.30 
U\235\. Uranium hexafluoride transferred to the Secretary pursuant to 
this paragraph shall be deemed under United States law for all purposes 
to be of Russian origin.
    (2) Within 7 years of the date of enactment of this Act, the 
Secretary shall sell, and receive payment for, the uranium hexafluoride 
transferred to the Secretary pursuant to paragraph (1). Such uranium 
hexafluoride shall be sold--
            (A) at any time for use in the United States for the 
        purpose of overfeeding;
            (B) at any time for end use outside the United States;
            (C) in 1995 and 1996 to the Russian Executive Agent at the 
        purchase price for use in matched sales pursuant to the 
        Suspension Agreement; or,
            (D) in calendar year 2001 for consumption by end users in 
        the United States not prior to January 1, 2002, in volumes not 
        to exceed 3,000,000 pounds U<INF>3O<INF>8 equivalent per year.
    (3) With respect to all enriched uranium delivered to the United 
States Executive Agent under the Russian HEU Agreement on or after 
January 1, 1997, the United States Executive Agent shall, upon request 
of the Russian Executive Agent, enter into an agreement to deliver 
concurrently to the Russian Executive Agent an amount of uranium 
hexafluoride equivalent to the natural uranium component of such 
uranium. An agreement executed pursuant to a request of the Russian 
Executive Agent, as contemplated in this paragraph, may pertain to any 
deliveries due during any period remaining under the Russian HEU 
Agreement. The quantity of such uranium hexafluoride delivered to the 
Russian Executive Agent shall be based on a tails assay of 0.30 U\235\. 
Title to uranium hexafluoride delivered to the Russian Executive Agent 
pursuant to this paragraph shall transfer to the Russian Executive 
Agent upon delivery of such material to the Russian Executive Agent, 
with such delivery to take place at a North American facility 
designated by the Russian Executive Agent. Uranium hexafluoride 
delivered to the Russian Executive Agent pursuant to this paragraph 
shall be deemed under U.S. law for all purposes to be of Russian 
origin. Such uranium hexafluoride may be sold to any person or entity 
for delivery and use in the United States only as permitted in 
subsections (b)(5), (b)(6) and (b)(7) of this section.
    (4) In the event that the Russian Executive Agent does not exercise 
its right to enter into an agreement to take delivery of the natural 
uranium component of any low-enriched uranium, as contemplated in 
paragraph (3), within 90 days of the date such low-enriched uranium is 
delivered to the United States Executive Agent, or upon request of the 
Russian Executive Agent, then the United States Executive Agent shall 
engage an independent entity through a competitive selection process to 
auction an amount of uranium hexafluoride or U<INF>3O<INF>8 (in the 
event that the conversion component of such hexafluoride has previously 
been sold) equivalent to the natural uranium component of such low-
enriched uranium. An agreement executed pursuant to a request of the 
Russian Executive Agent, as contemplated in this paragraph, may pertain 
to any deliveries due during any period remaining under the Russian HEU 
Agreement. Such independent entity shall sell such uranium hexafluoride 
in one or more lots to any person or entity to maximize the proceeds 
from such sales, for disposition consistent with the limitations set 
forth in this subsection. The independent entity shall pay to the 
Russian Executive Agent the proceeds of any such auction less all 
reasonable transaction and other administrative costs. The quantity of 
such uranium hexafluoride auctioned shall be based on a tails assay of 
0.30 U\235\. Title to uranium hexafluoride auctioned pursuant to this 
paragraph shall transfer to the buyer of such material upon delivery of 
such material to the buyer. Uranium hexafluoride auctioned pursuant to 
this paragraph shall be deemed under United States law for all purposes 
to be of Russian origin.
    (5) Except as provided in paragraphs (6) and (7), uranium 
hexafluoride delivered to the Russian Executive Agent under paragraph 
(3) or auctioned pursuant to paragraph (4), may not be delivered for 
consumption by end users in the United States either directly or

    Sec. 4003. (a) This section may be cited as the ``Federal 
Prohibition of Female Genital Mutilation Act of 1996''.
    (b) Congress finds that--
            (1) the practice of female genital mutilation is carried 
        out by members of certain cultural and religious groups within 
        the United States;
            (2) the practice of female genital mutilation often results 
        in the occurrence of physical and psychological health effects 
        that harm the women involved;
            (3) such mutilation infringes upon the guarantees of rights 
        secured by Federal and State law, both statutory and 
        constitutional;

        female genital mutilation place it beyond the ability of any 
        single State or local jurisdiction to control;
            (5) the practice of female genital mutilation can be 
        prohibited without abridging the exercise of any rights 
        guaranteed under the First Amendment to the Constitution or 
        under any other law; and
            (6) Congress has the affirmative power under section 8 of

            ``(1) necessary to the health of the person on whom it is 
        performed, and is performed by a person licensed in the place 
        of its performance as a medical practitioner; or
            ``(2) performed on a person in labor or who has just given 
        birth and is performed for medical purposes connected with that 
        labor or birth by a person licensed in the place it is 
        performed as a medical practitioner, midwife, or person in 
        training to become such a practitioner or midwife.
    ``(c) In applying subsection (b)(1), no account shall be taken of 
the effect on the person on whom the operation is to be performed of 
any belief on the part of that or any other person that the operation 
is required as a matter of custom or ritual.
    ``(d) Whoever knowingly denies to any person medical care or 
services or otherwise discriminates against any person in the provision 
of medical care or services, because--

        excision, or infibulation; or
            ``(2) that person has requested that female circumcision,

        under the age of 18 who have been subjected to such mutilation.
            (B) Identify communities in the United States that practice 
        female genital mutilation, and design and carry out outreach 
        activities to educate individuals in the communities on the 
        physical and psychological health effects of such practice. 
        Such outreach activities shall be designed and implemented in 
        collaboration with representatives of the ethnic groups 
        practicing such mutilation and with representatives of 
        organizations with expertise in preventing such practice.
            (C) Develop recommendations for the education of students 
        of schools of medicine and osteopathic medicine regarding 
        female genital mutilation and complications arising from such 
        mutilation. Such recommendations shall be disseminated to such 
        schools.
    (2) For purposes of this subsection, the term ``female genital 
mutilation'' means the removal or infibulation (or both) of the whole 
or part of the clitoris, the labia minor, or the labia major.
    (f) Subsection (e) shall take effect on the date of enactment of 
this Act, and the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall commence

                           sense of congress

    It is the sense of the Congress that accounting for taxpayers' 
funds must be a top priority for all Federal agencies and Government 
corporations. The Congress is deeply concerned about the findings of 
the recent audit of the Corporation for National and Community Service 
required under the Government Corporation Control Act of 1945. The 
Congress urges the President to expeditiously nominate a qualified 
Chief Financial Officer for the Corporation. Further, to the maximum 
extent practicable and as quickly as possible, the Corporation should 
implement the recommendations of the independent auditors contracted 
for by the Corporation's Inspector General, as well as the Chief 
Financial Officer, to improve the financial management of taxpayers' 
funds. Should the Chief Financial Officer determine that additional 
resources are needed to implement these recommendations, the 
Corporation should submit a reprogramming proposal for up to $3,000,000 
to carry out reforms of the financial management system.

                           funding adjustment

    The total amount appropriated under the heading ``Department of 
Housing and Urban Development, Housing Programs, Annual contribution

for section 8 assistance and rehabilitation grants for property 
disposition is reduced to $192,000,000.

            (1) by amending subsection (b) to read as follows:
    ``(b) Before collecting a claim by administrative offset, the head 
of an executive, legislative, or judicial agency must either--
            ``(1) adopt regulations on collecting by administrative 
        offset promulgated by the Department of Justice, the General 
        Accounting Office and/or the Department of the Treasury without 
        change; or
            ``(2) prescribe independent regulations on collecting by 
        administrative offset consistent with the regulations 
        promulgated under paragraph (1).'';
            (2) by amending subsection (c)(2) to read as follows:
            ``(2) when a statute explicitly prohibits using 
        administrative `offset' or `setoff' to collect the claim or 
        type of claim involved.'';
            (3) by redesignating subsection (c) as subsection (d); and
            (4) by inserting after subsection (b) the following new 
        subsection:
    ``(c)(1)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B) or (C), a 
disbursing official of the Department of the Treasury, the Department 
of Defense, the United States Postal Service, or any disbursing 
official of the United States designated by the Secretary of the 
Treasury, is authorized to offset the amount of a payment which a 
payment certifying agency has certified to the disbursing official for 
disbursement by an amount equal to the amount of a claim which a 
creditor agency has certified to the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant 
to this subsection.
    ``(B) An agency that designates disbursing officials pursuant to 
section 3321(c) of this title is not required to certify claims arising 
out of its operations to the Secretary of the Treasury before such 
agency's disbursing officials offset such claims.
    ``(C) Payments certified by the Department of Education under a 
program administered by the Secretary of Education under title IV of 
the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, shall not be subject to 
offset under this subsection.
    ``(2) Neither the disbursing official nor the payment certifying 
agency shall be liable--
            ``(A) for the amount of the offset on the basis that the 
        underlying obligation, represented by the payment before the 
        offset was taken, was not satisfied; or
            ``(B) for failure to provide timely notice under paragraph 
        (8).
    ``(3)(A) Notwithstanding any other provision of law (including 
sections 207 and 1631(d)(1) of the Act of August 14, 1935 (42 U.S.C. 
407 and 1383(d)(1)), section 413(b) of Public Law 91-173 (30 U.S.C. 
923(b)), and section 14 of the Act of August 29, 1935 (45 U.S.C. 
231m)), all payments due under the Social Security Act, Part B of the 
Black Lung Benefits Act, or under any law administered by the Railroad 
Retirement Board shall be subject to offset under this section.
    ``(B) An amount of $10,000 which a debtor may receive under Federal 
benefit programs cited under subparagraph (A) within a 12-month period 
shall be exempt from offset under this subsection. In applying the 
$10,000 exemption, the disbursing official shall--
            ``(i) apply a prorated amount of the exemption to each 
        periodic benefit payment to be made to the debtor during the 
        applicable 12-month period; and
            ``(ii) consider all benefit payments made during the 
        applicable 12-month period which are exempt from offset under 
        this subsection as part of the $10,000 exemption.
For purposes of the preceding sentence, the amount of a periodic 
benefit payment shall be the amount after any reduction or deduction 
required under the laws authorizing the program under which such 
payment is authorized to be made (including any reduction or deduction 
to recover any overpayment under such program).
    ``(C) The Secretary of the Treasury shall exempt means-tested 
programs when notified by the head of the respective agency. The 
Secretary may exempt other payments from offset under this subsection 
upon the written request of the head of a payment certifying agency. A 
written request for exemption of other payments must provide 
justification for the exemption under thestandards prescribed by the 
Secretary. Such standards shall give due consideration to whether 
offset would tend to interfere substantially with or defeat the 
purposes of the payment certifying agency's program.
    ``(D) The provisions of sections 205(b)(1) and 1631(c)(1) of the 
Social Security Act shall not apply to any offset executed pursuant to 
this section against benefits authorized by either title II or title 
XVI of the Social Security Act.
    ``(4) The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to charge a fee 
sufficient to cover the full cost of implementing this subsection. The 
fee may be collected either by the retention of a portion of amounts 
collected pursuant to this subsection, or by billing the agency 
referring or transferring the claim. Fees charged to the agencies shall 
be based only on actual offsets completed. Fees charged under this 
subsection concerning delinquent claims may be considered as costs 
pursuant to section 3717(e) of this title. Fees charged under this 
subsection shall be deposited into the `Account' determined by the 
Secretary of the Treasury in accordance with section 3711(g) of this 
title, and shall be collected and accounted for in accordance with the 
provisions of that section.
    ``(5) The Secretary of the Treasury may disclose to a creditor 
agency the current address of any payee and any data related to 
certifying and authorizing such payment in accordance with section 552a 
of title 5, United States Code, even when the payment has been exempt 
from offset. Where payments are made electronically, the Secretary is 
authorized to obtain the current address of the debtor/payee from the 
institution receiving the payment. Upon request by the Secretary, the 
institution receiving the payment shall report the current address of 
the debtor/payee to the Secretary.
    ``(6) The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to prescribe such 
rules, regulations, and procedures as the Secretary of the Treasury 
deems necessary to carry out the purposes of this subsection. The 
Secretary shall consult with the heads of affected agencies in the 
development of such rules, regulations, and procedures.
    ``(7)(A) Any Federal agency that is owed by a named person a past-
due legally enforceable non-tax debt that is over 180 days delinquent 
(other than any past-due support), including non-tax debt administered 
by a third party acting as an agent for the Federal Government, shall 
notify the Secretary of the Treasury of all such non-tax debts for 
purposes of offset under this subsection.
    ``(B) An agency may delay notification under subparagraph (A) with 
respect to a debt that is secured by bond or other instruments in lieu 
of bond, or for which there is another specific repayment source, in 
order to allow sufficient time to either collect the debt through 
normal collection processes (including collection by internal 
administrative offset) or render a final decision on any protest filed 
against the claim.
    ``(8) The disbursing official conducting the offset shall notify 
the payee in writing of--
            ``(A) the occurrence of an offset to satisfy a past-due 
        legally enforceable debt, including a description of the type 
        and amount of the payment otherwise payable to the debtor 
        against which the offset was executed;
            ``(B) the identity of the creditor agency requesting the 
        offset; and
            ``(C) a contact point within the creditor agency that will 
        handle concerns regarding the offset.''.
Where the payment to be offset is a periodic benefit payment, the 
disbursing official shall take reasonable steps, as determined by the 
Secretary of the Treasury, to provide the notice to the payee not later 
than the date on which the payee is otherwise scheduled to receive the 
payment, or as soon as practical thereafter, but no later than the date 
of the offset. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the failure of 
the debtor to receive such notice shall not impair the legality of such 
offset.
    ``(9) A levy pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall 
take precedence over requests for offset received from other 
agencies.''.
    (c) Section 3701(a) of title 31, United States Code, is amended by 
adding at the end the following new paragraph:

of foreclosure sale, which shall be a location where real estate 
foreclosure auctions are customarily held in the county or one of the 
counties in which the property to be sold is located or at a courthouse 
therein, or upon the property to be sold. Sale of security property 
situated in two or more counties may be held in any one of the counties

property are sold.
    ``(b) Bidding Requirements.--Written one-price sealed bids shall be 
accepted by the foreclosure trustee, if submitted by the agency head or 
other persons for entry by announcement by the foreclosure trustee at 
the sale. The sealed bids shall be submitted in accordance with the

any other person may bid at the foreclosure sale, even if the agency 
head or other person previously submitted a written one-price bid. The 
agency head may bid a credit against the debt due without the tender or 
payment of cash. The foreclosure trustee may serve as auctioneer, or 
may employ an auctioneer who may be paid from the sale proceeds. If an 
auctioneer is employed, the foreclosure trustee is not required to 
attend the sale. The foreclosure trustee or an auctioneer may bid as 
directed by the agency head.
    ``(c) Postponement of Sale.--The foreclosure trustee shall have 
discretion, prior to or at the time of sale, to postpone the 
foreclosure sale. The foreclosure trustee may postpone a sale to a 
later hour the same day by announcing or posting the new time and place 
of the foreclosure sale at the time and place originally scheduled for 
the foreclosure sale. The foreclosure trustee may instead postpone the 
foreclosure sale for not fewer than 9 nor more than 31 days, by serving 
notice that the foreclosure sale has been postponed to a specified 
date, and the notice may include any revisions the foreclosure trustee 
deems appropriate. The notice shall be served by publication, mailing,

foreclosure trustee may require a bidder to make a cash deposit before 
the bid is accepted. The amount or percentage of the cash deposit shall 
be stated by the foreclosure trustee in the notice of foreclosure sale.

the terms of the sale shall forfeit the cash deposit or, at the 
election of the foreclosure trustee, shall be liable to the agency on a 
subsequent sale of the property for all net losses incurred by the 
agency as a result of such failure.
    ``(e) Effect of Sale.--Any foreclosure sale held in accordance with 
this subchapter shall be conclusively presumed to have been conducted 
in a legal, fair, and commercially reasonable manner. The sale price 
shall be conclusively presumed to constitute the reasonably equivalent 
value of the security property.
``Sec. 3410. Transfer of title and possession
    ``(a) Deed.--After receipt of the purchase price in accordance with 
the terms of the sale as provided in the notice of foreclosure sale, 
the foreclosure trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser a 
deed conveying the security property to the purchaser that grants and 
conveys title to the security property without warranty or covenants to 
the purchaser. The execution of the foreclosure trustee's deed shall 
have the effect of conveying all of the right, title, and interest in 
the security property covered by the mortgage. Notwithstanding any 
other law to the contrary, the foreclosure trustee's deed shall be a 
conveyance of the security property and not a quitclaim. No judicial 
proceeding shall be required ancillary or supplementary to the 
procedures provided in this subchapter to establish the validity of the 
conveyance.
    ``(b) Death of Purchaser Prior to Consummation of Sale.--If a 
purchaser dies before execution and delivery of the deed conveying the 
security property to the purchaser, the foreclosure trustee shall 
execute and deliver the deed to the representative of the purchaser's 
estate upon payment of the purchase price in accordance with the terms 
of sale. Such delivery to the representative of the purchaser's estate 
shall have the same effect as if accomplished during the lifetime of 
the purchaser.

purchaser of property under this subchapter shall be presumed to be a 
bona fide purchaser without notice of defects, if any, in the title 
conveyed to the purchaser.
    ``(d) Possession by Purchaser; Continuing Interests.--A purchaser 
at a foreclosure sale conducted pursuant to this subchapter shall be 
entitled to possession upon passage of title to the security property, 
subject to any interest or interests senior to that of the mortgage. 
The right to possession of any person without an interest senior to the 
mortgage who is in possession of the property shall terminate 
immediately upon the passage of title to the security property, and the 
person shall vacate the security property immediately. The purchaser 
shall be entitled to take any steps available under Federal law or 
State law to obtain possession.
    ``(e) Right of Redemption; Right of Possession.--This subchapter 
shall preempt all Federal and State rights of redemption, statutory, or

    ``(f) Prohibition of Imposition of Tax on Conveyance by the United 
States or Agency Thereof.--No tax, or fee in the nature of a tax, for 
the transfer of title to the security property by the foreclosure

    ``(b) Effect of Recitals.--The recitals set forth in subsection (a) 
shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of such recitals. Compliance 
with the requirements of subsection (a) shall create a conclusive 
presumption of the validity of the sale in favor of bona fide 
purchasers and encumbrancers for value without notice.
    ``(c) Deed To Be Accepted for Filing.--The register of deeds or 
other appropriate official of the county or counties where real estate 
deeds are regularly filed shall accept for filing and shall file the 
foreclosure trustee's deed and affidavit, if any, and any other 
instruments submitted for filing in relation to the foreclosure of the 
security property under this subchapter.
