SEC. 204. EMERGENCY LEGISLATION.

    (a) Authority To Designate.--If a provision of direct spending or 
receipts legislation is enacted or if appropriations for discretionary 
accounts are enacted that the President designates as an emergency 
requirement and that the Congress so designates in statute, the amounts 
of new budget authority, outlays, and receipts in all fiscal years 
resulting from that provision shall be designated as an emergency 
requirement for the purpose of this resolution.
    (b) Designations.--
            (1) Guidance.--If a provision of legislation is designated 
        as an emergency requirement under subsection (a), the committee 
        report and any statement of managers accompanying that 
        legislation shall analyze whether a proposed emergency 
        requirement meets all the criteria in paragraph (2).
            (2) Criteria.--
                    (A) In general.--The criteria to be considered in 
                determining whether a proposed expenditure or tax 
                change is an emergency requirement are that the 
                expenditure or tax change is--
                            (i) necessary, essential, or vital (not 
                        merely useful or beneficial);
                            (ii) sudden, quickly coming into being, and 
                        not building up over time;
                            (iii) an urgent, pressing, and compelling 
                        need requiring immediate action;
                            (iv) subject to subparagraph (B), 
                        unforeseen, unpredictable, and unanticipated; 
                        and
                            (v) not permanent, temporary in nature.
                    (B) Unforeseen.--An emergency that is part of an 
                aggregate level of anticipated emergencies, 
                particularly when normally estimated in advance, is not 
                unforeseen.
            (3) Justification for use of designation.--When an 
        emergency designation is proposed in any bill, joint 
        resolution, or conference report thereon, the committee report 
        and the statement of managers accompanying a conference report, 
        as the case may be, shall provide a written justification of 
        why the provision meets the criteria set forth in paragraph 
        (2).
    (c) Definitions.--In this section, the terms ``direct spending'', 
``receipts'', and ``appropriations for discretionary accounts'' means 
any provision of a bill, joint resolution, amendment, motion or 
conference report that affects direct spending, receipts, or 
appropriations as those terms have been defined and interpreted for 
purposes of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 
1985.
    (d) Point of Order.--When the Senate is considering a bill, 
resolution, amendment, motion, or conference report, a point of order 
may be made by a Senator against an emergency designation in that 
measure and if the Presiding Officer sustains that point of order, that 
provision making such a designation shall be stricken from the measure 
and may not be offered as an amendment from the floor.
    (e) Waiver and Appeal.--This section may be waived or suspended in 
the Senate only by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members, 
duly chosen and sworn. An affirmative vote of three-fifths of the 
Members of the Senate, duly chosen and sworn, shall be required to 
sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised 
under this section.
    (f) Definition of an Emergency Requirement.--A provision shall be 
considered an emergency designation if it designates any item as an 
emergency requirement pursuant to subsection (a).
    (g) Form of the Point of Order.--A point of order under this 
section may be raised by a Senator as provided in section 313(e) of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974.

this section against a conference report, the report shall be disposed 
of as provided in section 313(d) of the Congressional Budget Act of 
1974.

Subsection (d) shall not apply against an emergency designation for a

                enactment of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990.
            (5) Baseline.--Estimates prepared pursuant to this section 
        shall--

        together with all direct spending and revenue legislation 
        enacted since the beginning of the calendar year not accounted

resolution, or if an amendment thereto is offered or a conference 
report thereon is submitted, that extends the availability of fiscal

    In the Senate, upon the enactment of a bill or joint resolution 
providing for a change in concepts or definitions, the Chairman of the

Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (as in effect 
prior to September 30, 2002).

SEC. 222. APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF CHANGES IN ALLOCATIONS AND 
              AGGREGATES.

    (a) Application.--Any adjustments of allocations and aggregates 
made pursuant to this resolution shall--
            (1) apply while that measure is under consideration;
            (2) take effect upon the enactment of that measure; and
            (3) be published in the Congressional Record as soon as 
        practicable.
    (b) Effect of Changed Allocations and Aggregates.--Revised

        the Budget of the House of Representatives and the Senate; and
            (2) such chairman, as applicable, may make any other 
        necessary adjustments to such levels to carry out this 
        resolution.

SEC. 223. EXERCISE OF RULEMAKING POWERS.

    Congress adopts the provisions of this title--
            (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate 
        and the House of Representatives, respectively, and as such 
        they shall be considered as part of the rules of each House, or 
        of that House to which they specifically apply, and such rules 
        shall supersede other rules only to the extent that they are 
        inconsistent therewith; and
            (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of 
        either House to change those rules (so far as they relate to 
        that House) at any time, in the same manner, and to the same 
        extent as in the case of any other rule of that House.

                     TITLE III--SENSE OF THE SENATE

SEC. 301. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON FEDERAL EMPLOYEE PAY.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
            (1) Members of the uniformed services and civilian 
        employees of the United States make significant contributions 
        to the general welfare of the Nation.
            (2) Increases in the pay of members of the uniformed 
        services and of civilian employees of the United States have 
        not kept pace with increases in the overall pay levels of 
        workers in the private sector, so that there now exists--
                    (A) a 32 percent gap between compensation levels of 
                Federal civilian employees and compensation levels of 
                private sector workers; and
                    (B) an estimated 10 percent gap between 
                compensation levels of members of the uniformed 
                services and compensation levels of private sector 
                workers.
            (3) The President's budget proposal for fiscal year 2004 
        includes an average 4.1 percent pay raise for military 
        personnel.
            (4) The Office of Management and Budget has requested that 
        Federal agencies plan their fiscal year 2004 budgets with a 2 
        percent pay raise for civilian Federal employees.
            (5) In almost every year during the past two decades, there 
        have been equal adjustments in the compensation of members of 
        the uniformed services and the compensation of civilian 
        employees of the United States.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that rates 
of compensation for civilian employees of the United States should be 
adjusted at the same time, and in the same proportion, as are rates of 
compensation for members of the uniformed services.

SEC. 302. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON TRIBAL COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
            (1) More than 30,000 full- and part-time Native American 
        students from 250 federally recognized tribes nationwide attend 
        tribal colleges and Universities, a majority of whom are first-
        generation college students.
            (2) The colleges and universities are located in rural and 
        isolated areas and are often the only accredited institutions 
        of higher education in their service area. While the Tribal 
        College Act provides funding solely for Indian students, the 
        colleges serve students of all ages, about 20 percent of whom 
        are non-Indian. With rare exception, tribal colleges and 
        universities do not receive operating funds from the States for 
        these non-Indian State resident students. Yet, if these same 
        students attended any other public institution in their States, 
        the State would provide basic operating funds to that 
        institution.
            (3) While Congress has been increasing the annual 
        appropriations for tribal colleges in recent years, the 
        President's fiscal year 2004 budget recommends a $4,000,000 
        decrease in institutional operating funds. The combination of 
        annual increases in enrollments, reduced Federal funding, and 
        the addition of two new tribal colleges would result in a 
        devastating decrease in funding of $540 per student below the 
        fiscal year 2003 estimate.
            (4) Despite a $2,000,000 increase in fiscal year 2003 for 
        basic institutional operating budgets of the reservation-based 
        tribal colleges, the per Indian student count (ISC) is only $30 
        more than in fiscal year 2002, or $3,946, still less than \2/3\ 
        of the $6,000 authorized.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) this resolution recognizes the funding challenges faced 
        by tribal colleges and assumes that priority consideration will 
        be provided to them through funding through the Tribally 
        Controlled College or University Assistance Act, the Equity in 
        Educational Land Grant Status Act, title III of the Higher 
        Education Act, and the National Science Foundation Tribal 
        College Program; and
            (2) such priority consideration reflects Congress' intent 
        to continue to work toward statutory Federal funding goals for 
        the tribal colleges and universities.

SEC. 303. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE 504 SMALL BUSINESS CREDIT 
              PROGRAM.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
            (1) Small businesses play a critical role in our Nation and 
        our economy and the Federal Government assists that role by 
        providing small businesses with loans and loan guarantees.
            (2) Since the enactment of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 
        1990, the Small Business Administration and the Office of 
        Management and Budget have repeatedly overestimated the subsidy 
        cost of the Small Business Administration's 7(a) and 504 credit 
        programs. Those overestimates have resulted in borrowers and 
        lenders having to pay higher than necessary fees to participate 
        in those programs.
            (3) Last year, in response to bipartisan pressure from the 
        Senate Budget and Small Business Committees, the administration 
        developed a new econometric model to improve the accuracy of 
        its estimates of the cost of the 7(a) program. Consistent with 
        claims by the Senate Budget and Small Business Committees, that 
        effort resulted in the administration lowering the estimated 
        subsidy cost of the 7(a) program by an astounding 40 percent in 
        2003, allowing the Federal Government to guarantee an 
        additional $3,300,000,000 in small business loans this year 
        alone.
            (4) Notwithstanding past assurances, the administration, 
        however, has failed to begin work on an econometric model for 
        the 504 small business credit program, despite similar, chronic 
        problems with estimates of that program's costs.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) the performance of the SBA and OMB in administering the 
        Federal Credit Reform Act for the 504 small business credit 
        program remains unsatisfactory;
            (2) the administration should develop an econometric model 
        for the 504 program for use in the fiscal year 2004 
        appropriations cycle; and
            (3) the Office of Management and Budget should report to 
        the Budget and Small Business Committees on the progress of 
        this work by no later than June 2003.

SEC. 304. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING PELL GRANTS.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
            (1) Public investment in higher education yields a return 
        of several dollars for each dollar invested.
            (2) Higher education promotes economic opportunity.
            (3) For a generation, the Federal Pell Grant has served as 
        an effective means of providing access to higher education.
            (4) Over the past decade, the Pell Grant has failed to keep 
        pace with inflation, and over the past 25 years, the value of 
        the average Pell Grant has decreased substantially.
            (5) Grant aid as a portion of student aid has fallen 
        significantly over the past 5 years.
            (6) The percentage of freshmen attending public and private 
        4-year institutions from families whose income is below the 
        national median has fallen since 1981.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the 
levels in this resolution assume that--
            (1) within the discretionary allocation provided to the 
        Committee on Appropriations, the maximum Pell Grant award 
        should be raised to the maximum extent practicable, and funding 
        for the Pell Grant program should be higher than the level 
        requested by the President; and
            (2) to the maximum extent practicable, Congress should seek 
        to increase the maximum individual Federal Pell Grant award to 
        $9,000 by fiscal year 2010.

SEC. 305. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE NATIONAL GUARD.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
            (1) The Army National Guard relies heavily upon thousands 
        of full-time employees, Active Guard/Reserves and Military 
        Technicians, to ensure unit readiness throughout the Army 
        National Guard.
            (2) These employees perform vital day-to-day functions, 
        ranging from equipment maintenance to leadership and staff 
        roles, that allow the National Guard to dedicate drill weekends 
        and annual active duty training of part-time personnel to 
        preparation for the National Guard's war fighting and peacetime 
        missions.
            (3) The role of full-time National Guard personnel is 
        especially important as tens of thousands of our National Guard 
        and Reserve forces are being mobilized for the ongoing fight 
        against terrorism and in preparation for a possible war with 
        Iraq.
            (4) When the ability to provide sufficient Active Guard/
        Reserves and Military Technicians end strength is reduced, unit 
        readiness, as well as quality of life for soldiers and 
        families, is degraded.
            (5) The Army National Guard, with agreement from the 
        Department of Defense, requires a minimum essential requirement 
        of 25,286 Active Guard/Reserves and 26,189 Military 
        Technicians.
            (6) The fiscal year 2004 budget request for the Army 
        National Guard includes the minimum required end strengths, but 
        provides resources sufficient for only approximately 24,562 
        Active Guard/Reserves and 25,702 Military Technicians, funding 
        shortfalls of $51,200,000 and $29,300,000, respectively.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the Sense of the Senate that the 
functional totals in this resolution assume that the Department of 
Defense will give priority to fully funding the Active Guard/Reserves 
and Military Technicians at least at the minimum required levels.

SEC. 306. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION 
              CIVIL SUPPORT TEAMS.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
            (1) The emerging chemical, biological, and other threats of 
        the 21st century present new challenges to our military and to 
        local first responders.
            (2) Local first responders are on the front lines of 
        combating terrorism and responding to other large-scale 
        incidents.
            (3) The National Guard's Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil 
        Support Teams (WMD-CSTs) play a vital role in assisting local 
        first responders in investigating and combating these new 
        threats.
            (4) The September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks emphasize the 
        need to have full-time WMD-CSTs in each State.
            (5) There are currently 32 full-time and 23 part-time WMD-
        CSTs.
            (6) Section 1403 of Public Law 107-314, the Bob Stump 
        National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003, 
        requires the Secretary of Defense to establish an additional 23 
        WMD-CSTs and that at least one team be located in each State 
        and territory of the United States.
            (7) The President's fiscal year 2004 budget request 
        includes no funding for these additional WMD-CSTs.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) the functional totals in this resolution assume that 
        the Department of Defense should give priority to fully 
        implementing section 1403 of Public Law 107-314, the Bob Stump 
        National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003; and
            (2) the Department should increase its full-time manning 
        requirements to include the 506 additional full-time National 
        Guard personnel that will be needed to man the 23 additional 
        WMD-CSTs.

SEC. 307. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON EMERGENCY AND DISASTER ASSISTANCE FOR 
              LIVESTOCK AND AGRICULTURE PRODUCERS.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
            (1) Significant portions of the United States suffered 
        through severe drought conditions in 2000 and 2001.
            (2) The economic effects of drought are long-term and 
        widespread.
            (3) Current drought indices predict that the drought will 
        continue through 2003.
            (4) Congress has a history of providing financial 
        assistance to agricultural and livestock producers for losses 
        incurred due to drought.
            (5) Emphasis must be placed on planning efforts that will 
        mitigate the negative effects of drought.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the 
Senate--
            (1) develop a long-term drought plan that effectively 
        recognizes the reoccurring nature of drought cycles and 
        adequately support emergency and disaster assistance to 
        livestock and agricultural producers hurt by drought; and
            (2) establish an agricultural reserve to fund the 
        activities in paragraph (1).

SEC. 308. SOCIAL SECURITY RESTRUCTURING.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
            (1) Social Security is the foundation of retirement income 
        for most Americans;
            (2) preserving and strengthening the long term viability of 
        Social Security is a vital national priority and is essential 
        for the retirement security of today's working Americans, 
        current and future retirees, and their families;
            (3) Social Security faces significant fiscal and 
        demographic pressures;
            (4) the nonpartisan Office of the Chief Actuary at the 
        Social Security Administration reports that--
                    (A) the number of workers paying taxes to support 
                each Social Security beneficiary has dropped from 16.5 
                in 1950 to 3.3 in 2002;
                    (B) within a generation there will be only 2 
                workers to support each retiree, which will 
                substantially increase the financial burden on American 
                workers;
                    (C) without structural reform, the Social Security 
                system, beginning in 2018, will pay out more in 
                benefits than it will collect in taxes;
                    (D) without structural reform, the Social Security 
                trust fund will be exhausted in 2042, and Social 
                Security tax revenue in 2042 will only cover 73 percent 
                of promised benefits, and will decrease to 65 percent 
                by 2077;
                    (E) without structural reform, future Congresses 
                may have to raise payroll taxes 50 percent over the 
                next 75 years to pay full benefits on time, resulting 
                in payroll tax rates of as much as 16.9 percent by 2042 
                and 18.9 percent by 2077;
                    (F) without structural reform, Social Security's 
                total cash shortfall over the next 75 years is 
                estimated to be more than $25,000,000,000,000 in 
                constant 2003 dollars or $3,500,000,000,000 measured in 
                present value terms;
                    (G) absent structural reforms, spending on Social 
                Security will increase from 4.4 percent of gross 
                domestic product in 2003 to 7.0 percent in 2077; and
            (5) the Congressional Budget Office, the General Accounting 
        Office, the Congressional Research Service, the Chairman of the 
        Federal Reserve Board, and the President's Commission to 
        Strengthen Social Security have all warned that failure to 
        enact fiscally responsible Social Security reform quickly will 
        result in 1 or more of the following:
                    (A) Higher tax rates.
                    (B) Lower Social Security benefit levels.
                    (C) Increased Federal debt or less spending on 
                other Federal programs.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) the President, the Congress and the American people 
        (including seniors, workers, women, minorities, and disabled 
        persons) should work together at the earliest opportunity to 
        enact legislation to achieve a solvent and permanently 
        sustainable Social Security system; and
            (2) Social Security reform--
                    (A) must protect current and near retirees from any 
                changes to Social Security benefits;
                    (B) must reduce the pressure on future taxpayers 
                and on other budgetary priorities;
                    (C) must provide benefit levels that adequately 
                reflect individual contributions to the Social Security 
                System.
                    (D) must preserve and strengthen the safety net for 
                vulnerable populations, including the disabled and 
                survivors.
            (3) We should honor section 13301 of the Budget Enforcement 
        Act of 1990.

SEC. 309. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING STATE FISCAL RELIEF.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
            (1) States are experiencing the most severe fiscal crisis 
        since World War II.
            (2) States are instituting severe cuts to a variety of 
        vital programs such as health care, child care, education, and 
        other essential services.
            (3) According to the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the 
        Uninsured, 49 States already have taken actions or plan to cut 
        medicaid before or during the current fiscal year 2003. 
        Medicaid budget proposals in many States would eliminate or 
        curtail health benefits for eligible families and substantially 
        reduce or freeze provider reimbursement rates.
            (4) In 2002, at least 13 States reported decreased State 
        investments in their child care assistance programs.
            (5) According to a forthcoming analysis of 22 States, at 
        least 1,700,000 people are now at risk of losing their health 
        care coverage under cuts that have already been implemented or 
        proposed.
            (6) Fiscal relief would help avoid adding even more 
        Americans to the ranks of the uninsured while preserving the 
        safety net when it is most needed during an economic downturn.
            (7) Curtailing the States' need to cut spending and 
        increase taxes is essential for true economic growth.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the Sense of the Senate that the 
functional totals in this resolution assume that any legislation 
enacted to provide economic growth for the United States should include 
not less than $30,000,000,000 for State fiscal relief over the next 18 
months (of which at least half should be provided through a temporary 
increase in the Federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP)).

SEC. 310. FEDERAL AGENCY REVIEW COMMISSION.

    It is the sense of the Senate that a commission should be 
established to review Federal domestic agencies, and programs within 
such agencies, with the express purpose of providing Congress with 
recommendations, and legislation to implement those recommendations, to 
realign or eliminate government agencies and programs that are 
duplicative, wasteful, inefficient, outdated, or irrelevant, or have 
failed to accomplish their intended purpose.

SEC. 311. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING HIGHWAY SPENDING.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
            (1) Highway construction funding should increase over 
        current levels.
            (2) The Senate Budget Committee-passed Resolution increases 
        highway funding above the President's request.
            (3) All vehicles, whether they are operated by gasoline, 
        gasohol, or electricity, do damage to our highways.
            (4) As set out in TEA-21, the direct relationship between 
        excise taxes and highway spending makes sense and should be 
        maintained.
            (5) Highways should be funded through user fees such as 
        excise taxes and not through the General Fund of the Treasury.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the 
Senate should only consider legislation that increases highway spending 
if such legislation changes highway user fees to pay for such increased 
spending.

SEC. 312. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING AN EXPANSION IN HEALTH CARE 
              COVERAGE.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
            (1) there were 74,700,000 Americans who were uninsured for 
        all or part of the two-year period of 2001 and 2002;
            (2) this large group of uninsured Americans constitutes 
        almost one out of every three Americans under the age of 65;
            (3) most of these uninsured individual were without health 
        coverage for lengthy periods of time, with two-thirds of them 
        uninsured for over six months;
            (4) four out of five uninsured individuals are in working 
        families;
            (5) high health care costs, the large number of unemployed 
        workers, and State cutbacks of public health programs 
        occasioned by State fiscal crises are causing more and more 
        individuals to become uninsured; and
            (6) uninsured individuals are less likely to have a usual 
        source of care outside of an emergency room, often go without 
        screenings and preventive care, often delay or forgo needed 
        medical care, are often subject to avoidable hospital days, and 
        are sicker and die earlier than those individuals who have 
        health insurance.
    (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the 
functional totals in this resolution assume that--
            (1) expanded access to health care coverage throughout the 
        United States is a top priority for national policymaking; and
            (2) to the extent that additional funds are made available, 
        a significant portion of such funds should be dedicated to 
        expanding access to health care coverage so that fewer 
        individuals are uninsured and fewer individuals are likely to 
        become uninsured.

SEC. 313. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON THE STATE CRIMINAL ALIEN ASSISTANCE 
              PROGRAM.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
            (1) The control of illegal immigration is a Federal 
        responsibility.
            (2) In fiscal year 2002, however, State and local 
        governments spent more than $13,000,000,000 in costs associated 
        with the incarceration of undocumented criminal aliens.
            (3) The Federal Government provided $565,000,000 in 
        appropriated funding to the State Criminal Alien Assistance 
        Program (SCAAP) to reimburse State and local governments for 
        these costs.
            (4) In fiscal year 2003, the fiscal burden of incarcerating 
        undocumented criminal aliens is likely to grow, however, 
        Congress provided only $250,000,000 to help cover these costs.
            (5) The 56 percent cut in fiscal year 2003 funding for 
        SCAAP will place an enormous burden on State and local law 
        enforcement agencies during a time of heightened efforts to 
        secure our homeland.
            (6) The Administration did not include funding for SCAAP in 
        its fiscal year 2004 budget.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) the functional totals underlying this resolution on the 
        budget assumes that the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program 
        be funded at $585,000,000 to reimburse State and local law 
        enforcement agencies for the burdens imposed in fiscal year 
        2003 by the incarceration of undocumented criminal aliens; and
            (2) Congress enact a long-term reauthorization of the State 
        Criminal Alien Assistance Program beginning with the 
        authorization of $750,000,000 in fiscal year 2004 to reimburse 
        State and county governments for the burdens undocumented 
        criminal aliens have placed on the local criminal justice 
        system.

SEC. 314. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING PROGRAMS OF THE CORPS OF 
              ENGINEERS.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
            (1) the Corps of Engineers provides quality, responsive 
        engineering services to the United States, including planning, 
        designing, building, and operating invaluable water resources 
        and civil works projects;
            (2) the ports of the United States are a vital component of 
        the economy of the United States, playing a critical role in 
        international trade and commerce and in maintaining the energy 
        supply of the United States;
            (3) interruption of port operations would have a 
        devastating effect on the United States;
            (4) the navigation program of the Corps enables 
        2,400,000,000 tons of commerce to move on navigable waterways;
            (5) the Department of Transportation estimates that those 
        cargo movements have created jobs for 13,000,000 people;
            (6) flood damage reduction structures provided and 
        maintained by the Corps save taxpayers $21,000,000,000 in 
        damages every year, in addition to numerous human lives;
            (7) the Corps designs and manages the construction of 
        military facilities for the Army and Air Force while providing 
        support to the Department of Defense and other Federal 
        agencies;
            (8) the Civil Works program of the Corps adds significant 
        value to the economy of the United States, including recreation 
        and ecosystem restoration;
            (9) through contracting methods, the civil works program 
        employs thousands of private sector contract employees, as well 
        as Federal employees, in all aspects of construction, science, 
        engineering, architecture, management, planning, design, 
        operations, and maintenance; and
            (10) the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that 
        $1,000,000,000 expended for the Civil Works program generates 
        approximately 40,000 jobs in support of construction operation 
        and maintenance activities in the United States.
    (b) Budgetary Assumptions.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) to perform vital functions described in subsection (a), 
        the Corps of Engineers requires additional funding; and
            (2) the budgetary totals in this resolution assume that the 
        level of funding provided for programs of the Corps described 
        in subsection (a) will not be reduced below current baseline 
        spending levels established for the programs.

SEC. 315. RADIO INTEROPERABILITY FOR FIRST RESPONDERS.

    (a) Study.--It is the sense of the Senate that the Attorney 
General, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, 
should conduct a study of the need and cost to make the radio systems 
used by fire departments and emergency medical services agencies 
interoperable with those used by law enforcement to the extent that 
interoperability will not interfere with law enforcement operations.
    (b) Grant Program.--It is the sense of the Senate that Congress 
should authorize and appropriate $20,000,000 to establish a grant 
program through which the Attorney General would award grants to local 
governments to assist fire departments and emergency medical services 
agencies to establish radio interoperability.

SEC. 316. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON CORPORATE TAX HAVEN LOOPHOLES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that companies are taking advantage 
of loopholes in the United States tax code to direct taxable income to 
tax haven jurisdictions, some of which have excessive bank secrecy laws 
and a poor record of cooperation with United States civil and criminal 
tax enforcement.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the 
Senate should act to stop companies from avoiding paying their fair 
share of United States taxes by--
            (1) addressing the problem of corporations that have 
        renounced their United States citizenship (``inverted'') by 
        relocating their headquarters to tax haven jurisdictions while 
        maintaining their primary offices and production or service 
        facilities in the United States; and
            (2) addressing the problem of Bermuda-based insurance 
        companies that are using reinsurance agreements with their 
        subsidiaries to direct property and casualty insurance premiums 
        out of the United States into Bermuda to reduce their United 
        States taxes in a way that places United States property and 
        casualty insurance companies at a competitive disadvantage.

SEC. 317. SENSE OF SENATE ON PHASED-IN CONCURRENT RECEIPT OF RETIRED 
              PAY AND VETERANS' DISABILITY COMPENSATION FOR VETERANS 
              WITH SERVICE-CONNECTED DISABILITIES RATED AT 60 PERCENT 
              OR HIGHER.

    It is the sense of the Senate that the new budget authority and 
outlays for fiscal years 2004 through 2013 for National Defense (050) 
specified in section 103(1) are adequate to provide, and should 
provide, for the phased-in of concurrent receipt of retired pay and 
veterans' disability compensation by veterans with service-connected 
disabilities rated 60 percent or higher as if section 1414 of title 10, 
United States Code, were amended to read as follows:
``Sec. 1414. Members eligible for retired pay who have service-
              connected disabilities: payment of retired pay and 
              veterans' disability compensation for disabilities rated 
              at 60 percent or higher
    ``(a) Payment of Both Retired Pay and Compensation.--A member or 
former member of the uniformed services described in subsection (b) is 
entitled to be paid retired pay, up to the amount determined for such 
member or former member under subsection (d), in addition to any 
entitlement to veterans' disability compensation, without regard to 
sections 5304 and 5305 of title 38.
    ``(b) Covered Members.--A member or former member described in this 
subsection is any member or former member who is entitled to retired 
pay (other than as specified in subsection (c)) and who is also 
entitled to veterans' disability compensation for a service-connected 
disability rated at 60 percent or higher, as determined under laws 
administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
    ``(c) Exception.--Subsection (a) does not apply to a member retired 
under chapter 61 of this title with less than 20 years of service 
otherwise creditable under section 1405 of this title at the time of 
the member's retirement.
    ``(d) Maximum Amount of Retired Pay.--The maximum amount of retired 
pay to which a member or former member is entitled under subsection (a) 
is as follows:
            ``(1) For months beginning with January 2004 and ending 
        with December 2004, the amount equal to 45 percent of the 
        amount of retired pay to which the member or former member 
        would be entitled if the member or former member were paid 
        retired pay without regard to sections 5304 and 5305 of title 
        38 for such months.
            ``(2) For months beginning with January 2005 and ending 
        with December 2005, the amount equal to 60 percent of the 
        amount of retired pay to which the member or former member 
        would be entitled if the member or former member were paid 
        retired pay without regard to sections 5304 and 5305 of title 
        38 for such months.
            ``(3) For months beginning with January 2006 and ending 
        with December 2006, the amount equal to 80 percent of the 
        amount of retired pay to which the member or former member 
        would be entitled if the member or former member were paid 
        retired pay without regard to sections 5304 and 5305 of title 
        38 for such months.
            ``(4) For months beginning after December 2006, the amount 
        equal to the full amount of retired pay to which the member or 
        former member would be entitled if the member or former member

        of title 38 for such months.
    ``(e) Definitions.--In this section:
            ``(1) The term `retired pay' includes retainer pay, 
        emergency officers' retirement pay, and naval pension.
            ``(2) The term `service-connected' has the meaning given 
        that term in section 101(16) of title 38.
            ``(3) The term `veterans' disability compensation' has the 
        meaning given the term `compensation' in section 101(12) of 
        title 38.''.
            (2) Coordination with special compensation authority.--
        Section 1413 of such title is amended--
            (1) in subsection (a)--
                    (A) by inserting ``, for months in 2002 and 2003,'' 
                after ``Secretary concerned shall''; and
                    (B) by striking the last sentence; and
            (2) in subsection (b)--
                    (A) in paragraph (2), by striking ``September 
                2004'' and inserting ``December 2003''; and
                    (B) by striking paragraph (3).
            (3) Additional conforming amendments.--(A) Effective on

        Stat. 1150; 10 U.S.C. 1414 note) is repealed.
            (4) Clerical amendments.--(A) Effective on the date of the 
        enactment of this Act, the table of sections at the beginning 
        of chapter 71 of title 10, United States Code, is amended by 
        striking the item relating to section 1414 and inserting the 
        following new item:

``1414. Members eligible for retired pay who have service-connected 
                            disabilities: payment of retired pay and 
                            veterans' disability compensation for 
                            disabilities rated at 60 percent or 
                            higher.''.
            (B) Effective December 31, 2003, the table of sections at 
        the beginning of such chapter is amended by striking the item 
        relating to section 1413a.

SEC. 318. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING NATIVE AMERICAN HEALTH.

    It is the sense of the Senate that Congress has recognized the 
importance of Native American health. In 1997, Congress enacted a 
program to spend $30,000,000 a year on research and treatment on 
diabetes in the Native American community. This amount was increased to 
$100,000,000 a year in 2000 and further increased to $150,000,000 a 
year in 2002. This is a 500 percent increase since 1997. This priority 
focuses on prevention and treatment for a major disease in the Native 
American community.

SEC. 319. RESERVE FUND TO STRENGTHEN SOCIAL SECURITY.

    If legislation is reported by the Senate Committee on Finance, or 
an amendment thereto is offered or a conference report thereon is 
submitted that would extend the solvency of the Social Security Trust 
Funds, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget may revise 
the aggregates, functional totals, allocations, and other appropriate 
levels and limits in this resolution by up to $396,000,000,000 in 
budget authority and outlays for the total of fiscal years 2003 through 
2013.

SEC. 320. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON PROVIDING TAX AND OTHER INCENTIVES TO 
              REVITALIZE RURAL AMERICA.

    It is the sense of the Senate that if tax relief measures are 
passed in accordance with the assumptions in the budget resolution in 
this session of Congress, such legislation should include tax and other 
financial incentives, like those included in the New Homestead Act (S. 
602), to help rural communities fight the economic decimation caused by 
chronic out-migration by giving them the tools they need to attract 
individuals to live and work, or to start and grow a business, in such 
rural areas.

SEC. 321. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING HIGHER EDUCATION 
              AFFORDABILITY.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
            (1) in our increasingly competitive global economy, the 
        attainment of higher education is critical to the economic 
        success of an individual, as evidenced by the fact that, in 
        1975, college graduates earned an average of 57 percent more 
        than individuals who were only high school graduates, as 
        compared to the fact that, in 2001, college graduates earned an 
        average of 84 percent more than high school graduates;
            (2) over the past 20 years, the average cost of college 
        tuition has increased by over 250 percent and is increasing--
                    (A) at a faster rate than any consumer item, 
                including health care; and
                    (B) at a rate that is more than twice as fast as 
                the rate of inflation;
            (3) despite increases in grant amounts contained in 
        legislation recently enacted by Congress, the value of the 
        maximum Pell Grant has declined 15 percent since 1975 in 
        inflation-adjusted terms, forcing more students to rely on 
        student loans to finance the cost of a higher education;

        approximately $150,000,000,000 in outstanding student loan debt 
        and students borrowed more during the decade beginning in 1990

    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that

            (1) a provision to make permanent the above-the-line 
        deduction for the higher education expenses of a taxpayer and 
        members of the taxpayer's family and to increase such deduction 
        to $8,000 for taxable year 2003 and $12,000 for taxable year

        children;
            (2) the importance of children's hospitals extends to the 
        health care of all children throughout the United States;
            (3) making up only 1 percent of all hospitals, independent

            (4) children's hospitals provide over 50 percent of the 
        hospital care in the United States for children with serious 
        illness, including needing cardiatric surgery, children with 
        cancer, and children with cerebral palsy; and
            (5) children's hospitals are important centers for

        justice;

        identification technologies between 1994 and 2003; and
            (3) a strong commitment to improve crime identification

    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the 
funding levels in this resolution assume that the programs authorized 
under the Crime Identification Technology Act of 1998 to improve the 
justice system will be fully funded at the levels authorized for each 
of the fiscal years 2004 through 2007.

SEC. 324. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING FUNDING FOR DRUG TREATMENT 
              PROGRAMS.

    It is the sense of the Senate that the functional totals in this 
resolution assume that up to $20,000,000 from funds designated, but not 
obligated, for travel and administrative expenses, from drug 
interdiction activities should be used for service-oriented targeted 
grants for the utilization of substances that block the craving for 
heroin and that are newly approved for such use by the Food and Drug 
Administration.

SEC. 325. FUNDING FOR AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that:
            (1) Studies show that organized extracurricular activities,

        parents arrive home.
            (3) There remains a great need for after-school programs.

        almost 1.4 million children across the country a safe and 
        enriching place to go after school instead of being home alone.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the 
levels in this resolution assume that funding for 21st Century 
Community Learning Centers is at least enough to ensure the number of 
children participating in afterschool programs does not decrease.

    It is the sense of the Senate that extending the $1,000 child

                            (ii) the school lunch program established 
                        under the Richard B. Russell National School 
                        Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1751 et seq.); and
                            (iii) the child and adult care food program
