                     GENERAL PROVISION, THIS TITLE

     Sec. 1401. Emergency Steel Loan Guarantee Program. (a) Short 
Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Emergency Steel Loan 
Guarantee Act of 1999''.
    (b) Congressional Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) the United States steel industry has been severely 
        harmed by a record surge of more than 40,000,000 tons of steel 
        imports into the United States in 1998, caused by the world 
        financial crisis;
            (2) this surge in imports resulted in the loss of more than 
        10,000 steel worker jobs in 1998, and was the imminent cause of 
        3 bankruptcies by medium-sized steel companies, Acme Steel, 
        Laclede Steel, and Geneva Steel;
            (3) the crisis also forced almost all United States steel 
        companies into--
                    (A) reduced volume, lower prices, and financial 
                losses; and
                    (B) an inability to obtain credit for continued 
                operations and reinvestment in facilities;
            (4) the crisis also has affected the willingness of private 
        banks and investment institutions to make loans to the U.S. 
        steel industry for continued operation and reinvestment in 
        facilities;
            (5) these steel bankruptcies, job losses, and financial 
        losses are also having serious negative effects on the tax base 
        of cities, counties, and States, and on the essential health, 
        education, and municipal services that these government 
        entities provide to their citizens; and
            (6) a strong steel industry is necessary to the adequate 
        defense preparedness of the United States in order to have 
        sufficient steel available to build the ships, tanks, planes, 
        and armaments necessary for the national defense.
    (c) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--
            (1) the term ``Board'' means the Loan Guarantee Board 
        established under subsection (e);
            (2) the term ``Program'' means the Emergency Steel 
        Guaranteed Loan Program established under subsection (d); and

                    (A) is incorporated under the laws of any State;
                    (B) is engaged in the production and manufacture of 
                a product defined by the American Iron and Steel 
                Institute as a basic steel mill product, including 
                ingots, slab and billets, plates, flat-rolled steel, 
                sections and structural products, bars, rail type 
                products, pipe and tube, and wire rod; and
                    (C) has experienced layoffs, production losses, or 
                financial losses since the beginning of the steel 
                import crisis, after January 1, 1998.
    (d) Establishment of Emergency Steel Guaranteed Loan Program.--
There is established the Emergency Steel Guaranteed Loan Program, to be

        of the Board;
            (2) the Secretary of Labor; and

    (f) Loan Guarantee Program.--
            (1) Authority.--The Program may guarantee loans provided to 
        qualified steel companies by private banking and investment 
        institutions in accordance with the procedures, rules, and 
        regulations established by the Board.
            (2) Total guarantee limit.--The aggregate amount of loans

        loans guaranteed under this section with respect to a single 
        qualified steel company may not exceed $250,000,000.

        possible after receipt of such application.
            (6) Additional costs.--For the additional cost of the loans 
        guaranteed under this subsection, including the costs of

        appropriated $140,000,000 to remain available until expended.
    (g) Requirements for Loan Guarantees.--A loan guarantee may be 
issued under this section upon application to the Board by a qualified 
steel company pursuant to an agreement to provide a loan to that

Board determines that--
            (1) credit is not otherwise available to that company under 
        reasonable terms or conditions sufficient to meet its financing 
        needs, as reflected in the financial and business plans of that 
        company;
            (2) the prospective earning power of that company, together 
        with the character and value of the security pledged, furnish 
        reasonable assurance of repayment of the loan to be guaranteed 
        in accordance with its terms;
            (3) the loan to be guaranteed bears interest at a rate 
        determined by the Board to be reasonable, taking into account 
        the current average yield on outstanding obligations of the 
        United States with remaining periods of maturity comparable to 
        the maturity of such loan; and
            (4) the company has agreed to an audit by the General 
        Accounting Office, prior to the issuance of the loan guarantee 
        and annually while any such guaranteed loan is outstanding.
    (h) Terms and Conditions of Loan Guarantees.--

        without the consent of the Board.
            (2) Loan security.--Any commitment to issue a loan 
        guarantee under this section shall contain such affirmative and 
        negative covenants and other protective provisions that the 
        Board determines are appropriate. The Board shall require 
        security for the loans to be guaranteed under this section at 
        the time at which the commitment is made.
            (3) Fees.--A qualified steel company receiving a guarantee 
        under this section shall pay a fee in an amount equal to 0.5 
        percent of the outstanding principal balance of the guaranteed 
        loan to the Department of the Treasury.
    (i) Reports to Congress.--The Secretary of Commerce shall submit to 
the Congress annually, a full report of the activities of the Board 
under this section during fiscal years 1999 and 2000, and annually 
thereafter, during such period as any loan guaranteed under this 
section is outstanding.
    (j) Salaries and Administrative Expenses.--For necessary expenses 
to administer the Program, $5,000,000 is appropriated to the Department 
of Commerce, to remain available until expended, which may be 
transferred to the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Trade 
Development of the International Trade Administration.

            (1) is designated by the Congress as an emergency 
        requirement pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A) of the Balanced 
        Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (2 U.S.C. 
        901(b)(2)(A)); and
            (2) shall be available only to the extent that an official 
        budget request that includes designation of the entire amount 
        of the request as an emergency requirement (as defined in the 
        Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985) is 
        transmitted by the President to the Congress.
    Sec. 1402. Petroleum Development Management. (a) Short Title.--This 
section may be cited as the ``Emergency Oil and Gas Guaranteed Loan 
Program Act''.
    (b) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) consumption of foreign oil in the United States is 
        estimated to equal 56 percent of all oil consumed, and that 
        percentage could reach 68 percent by 2010 if current prices 
        prevail;
            (2) the number of oil and gas rigs operating in the United 
        States is at its lowest since 1944, when records of this tally 
        began;
            (3) if prices do not increase soon, the United States could 
        lose at least half its marginal wells, which in aggregate 
        produce as much oil as the United States imports from Saudi 
        Arabia;
            (4) oil and gas prices are unlikely to increase for at 
        least several years;
            (5) declining production, well abandonment, and greatly 
        reduced exploration and development are shrinking the domestic 
        oil and gas industry;
            (6) the world's richest oil producing regions in the Middle 
        East are experiencing increasingly greater political 
        instability;
            (7) United Nations policy may make Iraq the swing oil 
        producing nation, thereby granting Saddam Hussein tremendous 
        power;
            (8) reliance on foreign oil for more than 60 percent of our 
        daily oil and gas consumption is a national security threat;
            (9) the level of United States oil security is directly 
        related to the level of domestic production of oil, natural gas 
        liquids, and natural gas; and
            (10) a national security policy should be developed that 
        ensures that adequate supplies of oil are available at all 
        times free of the threat of embargo or other foreign hostile 
        acts.
    (c) Definitions.--In this section:
            (1) Board.--The term ``Board'' means the Loan Guarantee 
        Board established by subsection (e).

                        (within the meaning of section 57(a)(2)(B)(i) 
                        of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986); or
                            (ii) a small business concern under section 
                        3 of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632) 
                        that is an oil field service company whose main 
                        business is providing tools, products, 
                        personnel, and technical solutions on a 
                        contractual basis to exploration and production 
                        operators who drill, complete, produce, 
                        transport, refine and sell hydrocarbons and 
                        their byproducts as their main commercial 
                        business; and
                    (C) has experienced layoffs, production losses, or

        reasonable terms or conditions sufficient to meet its financing 
        needs, as reflected in the financial and business plans of the

deficiency payment under section 135 of the Agricultural Market

        producer.

(Public Law 105-277)) shall be provided to any firefighter who--
            (1) on the effective date of section 5545b of title 5, 
        United States Code--
                    (A) was subject to such section; and
                    (B) had a regular tour of duty that averaged more 
                than 60 hours per week; and

        without a break in service from the regular tour of duty under

                    (A) averages 60 hours or less per week; and

    Sec. 2322. Sense of the Senate: Expressing the Sense of the Senate 
That a Pending Sale of Wheat and Other Agricultural Commodities to Iran 
be Approved. (a) The Senate finds:
            (1) That an export license is pending for the sale of 
        United States wheat and other agricultural commodities to the 
        nation of Iran.
            (2) That this sale of agricultural commodities would 
        increase United States agricultural exports by about 
        $500,000,000, at a time when agricultural exports have fallen 
        dramatically.
            (3) That sanctions on food are counterproductive to the 
        interest of United States farmers and to the people who would 
        be fed by these agricultural exports.
    (b) Now therefore, it is the sense of the Senate that the pending 
license for this sale of United States wheat and other agricultural 
commodities to Iran be approved by the administration.
    Sec. 2323. Prohibition. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of

        implement, the proposed regulations published on January 22, 
        1998, at 63 Fed. Reg. 3289; or
            (2) issue a notice of proposed rulemaking for, or 
        promulgate, or in any way implement, any similar regulations to 
        provide for procedures for gaming activities under the Indian 
        Gaming Regulatory Act (25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.), in any case in 
        which a State asserts a defense of sovereign immunity to a 
        lawsuit brought by an Indian tribe in a Federal court under 
        section 11(d)(7) of that Act (25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(7)) to compel 
        the State to participate in compact negotiations for class III 
        gaming (as that term is defined in section 4(8) of that Act (25 
        U.S.C. 2703(8))).
            (3) approve class III gaming on Indian lands by any means 
        other than a Tribal-State compact entered into between a State 
        and a tribe.
    (b) Definitions.--
            (1) The terms ``class III gaming'', ``Secretary'', ``Indian 
        lands'', and ``Tribal-State compact'' shall have the same 
        meaning for the purposes of this section as those terms have 
        under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (25 U.S.C. 2701 et 
        seq.).
            (2) The ``report of the National Gambling Impact Study 
        Commission'' is the report described in section 4(b) of Public 
        Law 104-169 (18 U.S.C. sec. 1955 note).
    Sec. 2324. Findings and Sense of Senate Regarding Sequential 
Billing Policy for Home Health Payments Under the Medicare Program. (a) 
Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
            (1) Section 4611 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 
        included a provision that transfers financial responsibility 
        for certain home health visits under the medicare program under 
        title XVIII of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395 et seq.) 
        from part A to part B of such program.
            (2) The sole intent of the transfer described in paragraph 
        (1) was to extend the solvency of the Federal Hospital 
        Insurance Trust Fund under section 1817 of such Act (42 U.S.C. 
        1395i).
            (3) The transfer described in paragraph (1) was supposed to 
        be ``seamless'' so as not to disrupt the provision of home 
        health services under the medicare program.
            (4) The Health Care Financing Administration has imposed a 
        sequential billing policy that prohibits home health agencies 
        under the medicare program from submitting claims for 
        reimbursement for home health services provided to a 
        beneficiary unless all claims for reimbursement for home health 
        services that were previously provided to such beneficiary have 
        been completely resolved.
            (5) The Health Care Financing Administration has also 
        expanded medical reviews of claims for reimbursement submitted 
        by home health agencies, resulting in a significant slowdown 
        nationwide in the processing of such claims.
            (6) The sequential billing policy described in paragraph 
        (4), coupled with the slowdown in claims processing described 
        in paragraph (5), has substantially increased the cash flow 
        problems of home health agencies because payments are often 
        delayed by at least 3 months.
            (7) The vast majority of home health agencies under the 
        medicare program are small businesses that cannot operate with 
        significant cash flow problems.
            (8) There are many other elements under the medicare 
        program relating to home health agencies, such as the interim 
        payment system under section 1861(v)(1)(L) of such Act (42 
        U.S.C. 1395x(v)(1)(L)), that are creating financial problems 
        for home health agencies, thereby forcing more than 2,200 home 
        health agencies nationwide to close since the date of enactment 
        of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the 
Health Care Financing Administration should--
            (1) evaluate and monitor the use of the sequential billing 
        policy (as described in subsection (a)(4)) in making payments 
        to home health agencies under the medicare program under title 
        XVIII of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395 et seq.);
            (2) ensure that--
                    (A) contract fiscal intermediaries under the 
                medicare program are timely in their random medical 
                review of claims for reimbursement submitted by home 
                health agencies; and
                    (B) such intermediaries adhere to Health Care 
                Financing Administration instructions that limit the 
                number of claims for reimbursement held for such review 
                for any particular home health agency to no more than 
                10 percent of the total number of claims submitted by 
                the agency; and
            (3) ensure that such intermediaries are considering and 
        implementing constructive alternatives, such as expedited 
        reviews of claims for reimbursement, for home health agencies 
        with no history of billing problems who have cash flow problems 
        due to random medical reviews and sequential billing.

        thereof the following:

and the Secretary of Commerce approves, conservation and management 
measures in accordance with such Act to allow such vessel to engage in 
fishing for Atlantic mackerel or herring (or both).''; and
            (2) in subsection (b), by striking ``subsection (a)(1)'' 
        and inserting ``subsection (a)''.
    Sec. 2327. The Corps of Engineers is directed to reprogram $800,000

operation of the Pick-Sloan project to perform the preliminary work 
needed to transfer Federal lands to the tribes and State of South 
Dakota, and to provide the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe and Cheyenne River 
Sioux Tribe with funds to begin protecting invaluable Indian cultural

ownership and jurisdiction over submerged lands and tidelands in the 
affected area has been resolved either by a final determination by the 
judiciary or by a settlement between the parties to the lawsuit.
