                                 A BILL


 
   To provide emergency market loss assistance for producers of red 
                 raspberries for the processed market.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. MARKET LOSS ASSISTANCE FOR PRODUCERS OF RED RASPBERRIES FOR 
              PROCESSED MARKET.

    (a) Provision of Assistance.--The Secretary of Agriculture shall 
use $15,000,000 of funds of the Commodity Credit Corporation to make 
payments to producers of the 2000 crop of red raspberries grown for the 
processed market to compensate such producers for loss of markets for 
processed red raspberries.
    (b) Payment Basis.--Subject to such other terms and conditions as 
the Secretary considers appropriate, a payment under this section shall 
be made on the basis of the quantity of the 2000 crop of red 
raspberries that was produced on a farm unit and marketed for 
processing.
    (c) Prevention of Duplicative Payments.--The Secretary shall take 
such actions as are necessary to ensure that payments made under this 
section do not duplicate payments provided under other Federal programs 
for the same loss, other than an indemnity provided under a policy or 
plan of insurance offered under the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 
U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
    (d) Emergency Designation.--The entire amount necessary to carry 
out this section shall be available only to the extent that an official 
budget request for the entire amount, 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. The entire amount is 
designated by the Congress as an emergency requirement pursuant to 
section 251(b)(2)(A) of such Act.
