            (2) in subsection (b)(1), by striking ``Authority'' and 
        inserting ``Mayor''.
    Sec. 170. (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The District of Columbia has recently witnessed a spate 
        of senseless killings of innocent citizens caught in the 
        crossfire of shootings. A Justice Department crime 
        victimization survey found that while the city saw a decline in 
        the homicide rate between 1996 and 1997, the rate was the 
        highest among a dozen cities and more than double the second 
        highest city.
            (2) The District of Columbia has not made adequate funding 
        available to fight drug abuse in recent years, and the city has 
        not deployed its resources as effectively as possible. In 
        fiscal year 1998, $20,900,000 was spent on publicly funded drug 
        treatment in the District compared to $29,000,000 in fiscal 
        year 1993. The District's Addiction and Prevention and Recovery 
        Agency currently has only 2,200 treatment slots, a 50 percent 
        drop from 1994, with more than 1,100 people on waiting lists.
            (3) The District of Columbia has seen a rash of inmate 
        escapes from halfway houses. According to Department of 
        Corrections records, between October 21, 1998 and January 19, 
        1999, 376 of the 1,125 inmates assigned to halfway houses 
        walked away. Nearly 280 of the 376 escapees were awaiting trial 
        including 2 charged with murder.
            (4) The District of Columbia public schools system faces 
        serious challenges in correcting chronic problems, particularly 
        long-standing deficiencies in providing special education 
        services to the 1 in 10 District students needing program 
        benefits, including backlogged assessments, and repeated 
        failure to meet a compliance agreement on special education 
        reached with the Department of Education.
            (5) Deficiencies in the delivery of basic public services 
        from cleaning streets to waiting time at Department of Motor 
        Vehicles to a rat population estimated earlier this year to 
        exceed the human population have generated considerable public 
        frustration.
            (6) Last year, the District of Columbia forfeited millions 
        of dollars in Federal grants after Federal auditors determined 
        that several agencies exceeded grant restrictions and in other 
        instances, failed to spend funds before the grants expired.
            (7) Findings of a 1999 report by the Annie E. Casey 
        Foundation that measured the well-being of children reflected 
        that, with 1 exception, the District ranked worst in the United 
        States in every category from infant mortality to the rate of 
        teenage births to statistics chronicling child poverty.
    (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that in 
considering the District of Columbia's fiscal year 2001 budget, the 
Congress will take into consideration progress or lack of progress in 
addressing the following issues:
            (1) Crime, including the homicide rate, implementation of 
        community policing, the number of police officers on local 
        beats, and the closing down of open-air drug markets.
            (2) Access to drug abuse treatment, including the number of 
        treatment slots, the number of people served, the number of 
        people on waiting lists, and the effectiveness of treatment 
        programs.
            (3) Management of parolees and pretrial violent offenders, 
        including the number of halfway house escapes and steps taken 
        to improve monitoring and supervision of halfway house 
        residents to reduce the number of escapes.
            (4) Education, including access to special education 
        services and student achievement.
            (5) Improvement in basic city services, including rat 
        control and abatement.
            (6) Application for and management of Federal grants.
            (7) Indicators of child well-being.
    Sec. 171. The Mayor, prior to using Federal Medicaid payments to 
Disproportionate Share Hospitals to serve a small number of childless 
adults, should consider the recommendations of the Health Care 
Development Commission that has been appointed by the Council of the 
District of Columbia to review this program, and consult and report to 
Congress on the use of these funds.
    Sec. 172. GAO Study of District of Columbia Criminal Justice 
System. Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, 
the Comptroller General of the United States shall--
            (1) conduct a study of the law enforcement, court, prison, 
        probation, parole, and other components of the criminal justice 
        system of the District of Columbia, in order to identify the 
        components most in need of additional resources, including 
        financial, personnel, and management resources; and
            (2) submit to Congress a report on the results of the study 
        under paragraph (1).
    This title may be cited as the ``District of Columbia 
Appropriations Act, 2000''.

                        TITLE II--TAX REDUCTION

    Congress commends the District of Columbia for its action to reduce
