                    (A) diesel prices have increased nearly 40 percent;
                    (B) liquid petroleum prices have increased 
                approximately 55 percent; and
                    (C) gasoline prices have increased approximately 50 
                percent;
            (2)(A) natural gas is the heating fuel for most homes and 
        commercial buildings; and
            (B) the price of natural gas increased 7.8 percent during 
        June 2000 and has doubled since 1999;
            (3) strong demand for gasoline and diesel fuel has resulted 
        in inventories of home heating oil that are down 39 percent 
        from a year ago;
            (4) rising oil and natural gas prices are a significant 
        factor in the 0.6 percent increase in the Consumer Price Index 
        for June 2000 and the 3.7 percent increase over the past 12 
        months;
            (5) demand for diesel fuel, liquid petroleum, and gasoline 
        has continued to increase while supplies have decreased;
            (6) the current energy crisis facing the United States has 
        had and will continue to have a detrimental impact on the 
        economy;
            (7) the price of energy greatly affects the input costs of 
        farmers, truckers, and small businesses; and
            (8) on July 21, 2000, in testimony before the Committee on 
        Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry of the Senate, the 
        Secretary of Energy stated that the Administration had 
        developed and was in the process of finalizing a plan to 
        address potential home heating oil and natural gas shortages.
    (b) Report.--Not later than September 30, 2000, the Secretary of 
Energy shall submit to Congress a report detailing the Department of 
Energy's plan to address the high cost of home heating oil and natural 
gas.
    Sec. 322. (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
            (1) The closure or downsizing of a Department of Energy 
        facility can have serious economic impacts on communities that 
        have been built around and in support of the facility.
            (2) To mitigate the devastating impacts of the closure of 
        Department of Energy facilities on surrounding communities, 
        section 3161 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
        Fiscal Year 1993 (42 U.S.C. 7274h) provides a mechanism for the 
        provision of financial assistance to such communities for 
        redevelopment and to assist employees of such facilities in 
        transferring to other employment.
            (3) Limitations on the capacity of the Department of Energy 
        to seek reprogramming of funds for worker and community 
        assistance programs in response to the closure or downsizing of 
        Department facilities undermines the capability of the 
        Department to respond appropriately to unforeseen 
        contingencies.
    (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that, in 
agreeing to the conference report to accompany the bill H.R. 4733 of 
the 106th Congress, the conferees on the part of the Senate should not 
recede to provisions or language proposed by the House of 
Representatives that would limit the capacity of the Department of 
Energy to augment funds available for worker and community assistance 
grants under section 3161 of the National Defense Authorization for 
Fiscal Year 1993 or under the provisions of the USEC Privatization Act 
(subchapter A of chapter 1 of title III of Public Law 104-134; 42 
U.S.C. 2297h et seq.).
    Sec. 323. Report on Impacts of a State-Imposed Limit on the 
Quantity of Spent Nuclear Fuel That May Be Stored Onsite. (a) Secretary 
of Energy.--Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this 
Act, the Secretary of Energy shall submit to Congress a report 
containing a description of all alternatives that are available to the 
Northern States Power Company and the Federal Government to allow the 
Company to continue to operate the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating 
Plant until the end of the term of the license issued to the Company by 
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, in view of a law of the State of 
Minnesota that limits the quantity of spent nuclear fuel that may be 
stored at the Plant, assuming that existing Federal and State laws 
remain unchanged.
    Sec. 324. Limitation on Use of Funds To Promote or Advertise Public 
Tours. (a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no 
funds made available under this title shall be used to promote or 
advertise any public tour of the Yucca Mountain facility of the 
Department of Energy.
    (b) Applicability.--Subsection (a) does not apply to a public 
notice that is required by statute or regulation.

                GENERAL PROVISIONS--INDEPENDENT AGENCIES

    Sec. 401. Presidential Energy Commission. (a) Findings.--Congress 
finds that--
            (1) crude oil and natural gas account for two-thirds of 
        America's energy consumption;
            (2) in May 2000, United States natural gas stocks totaled 
        1,450 billion cubic feet, 36 percent below the normal natural 
        gas inventory of 2,281 billion cubic feet;
            (3) in July 2000, United States crude oil inventories 
        totaled 298,000,000 barrels, 11 percent below the 24-year 
        average of 334,000,000 barrels;
            (4) in June 2000, distillate fuel (heating oil and diesel 
        fuel) inventories totaled 103,700,000 barrels, 26 percent below 
        the 24-year average of 140,000,000 barrels;
            (5) combined shortages in inventories of natural gas, crude 
        oil, and distillate stocks, coupled with steady or increased 
        demand, could cause supply and price shocks that would likely 
        have a severe impact on consumers and the economy; and
            (6) energy supply is a critical national security issue.
    (b) Presidential Energy Commission.--
            (1) Establishment.--
