                                 A BILL


 
To establish a Homeland Security and Neighborhood Safety Trust Fund and 
refocus Federal priorities toward securing the Homeland, and for other 
                               purposes.

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

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Homeland Security Trust Fund Act of 
2006''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) In 2002, an independent, bipartisan commission, the 
        National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States 
        (in this section referred to as the ``Commission''), was 
        established under title VI of Public Law 107-306 to prepare a 
        full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the 
        September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, including preparedness 
        for and the immediate response to the attacks.
            (2) The Commission was also tasked with providing 
        recommendations designed to guard against future attacks 
        against the United States.
            (3) The Commission held 12 public hearings to offer a 
        public dialogue about the Commission's goals and priorities, 
        sought to learn about work already completed, and the state of 
        current knowledge, all in order to identify the most important 
        issues and questions requiring further investigation.
            (4) This Commission was widely praised for its thorough 
        investigation and the bi-partisan nature of its proceedings.
            (5) On July 22, 2004, the Commission released its final 
        report that set out the events leading to the attacks on 
        September 11th, a chilling minute-by-minute account of that 
        tragic day, and, more importantly, issued 41 recommendations to 
        better prepare the United States to protect against future 
        terrorist attacks.
            (6) While the Commission was officially dissolved, the 
        Commissioners stayed together to create the 9/11 Public 
        Discourse Project in order to push for the implementation of 
        those recommendations.
            (7) On December 5, 2005, the Commissioners released a 
        report card evaluating the progress in implementing those 
        recommendations.
            (8) The Commissioners issued very few A's and B's and 
        issued 12 D's and 5 failing grades.
            (9) The failures identified by the Commissioners' report 
        card were across the board, ranging from transportation 
        security, to infrastructure protection and government reform.
            (10) Specifically, the Commissioners stated that ``few 
        improvements have been made to the existing passenger screening 
        system since right after 9/11. The completion of the testing 
        phase of TSA's pre-screening program for airline passengers has 
        been delayed. A new system, utilizing all names on the 
        consolidated terrorist watch list, is therefore not yet in 
        operation.''.
            (11) The Commissioners also found that ``...No risk and 
        vulnerability assessments actually made; no national priorities 
        established; no recommendations made on allocation of scarce 
        resources. . . . It is time that we stop talking about setting 
        priorities and actually set some.''.
            (12) The Commission issued a grade of D on checked bag and 
        cargo screening measures, stating that ``improvements have not 
        been made by the Congress or the administration. Progress on 
        implementation of in-line screening has been slow. The main 
        impediment is inadequate funding.''.
            (13) With regard to information sharing and technology, the 
        Commission noted that ``there has been no systematic diplomatic 
        efforts to share terrorist watch lists, nor has Congress taken 
        a leadership role in passport security ...'' and that ``there 
        remain many complaints about lack of information sharing 
        between federal authorities and state and local level 
        officials.''.
            (14) The Administration has failed to focus on prevention 
        here at home by abandoning our first line of defense against 
        terrorism--local law enforcement.
            (15) In the President's FY 2006 budget request, the 
        President requested a cut of over $2,000,000,000 in guaranteed 
        assistance to law enforcement.
            (16) According to the International Association of Chiefs 
        of Police, this decision represents a fundamentally flawed view 
        of what is needed to prevent domestic terror attacks.
            (17) The Council on Foreign Relations released a report 
        entitled, ``Emergency First Responders: Drastically 
        Underfunded, Dangerously Unprepared'', in which the Council 
        found that ``America's local emergency responders will always 
        be the first to confront a terrorist incident and will play the 
        central role in managing its immediate consequences. Their 
        efforts in the first minutes and hours following an attack will 
        be critical to saving lives, establishing order, and preventing 
        mass panic. The United States has both a responsibility and a 
        critical need to provide them with the equipment, training, and 
        other resources necessary to do their jobs safely and 
        effectively.''.
            (18) The Council further concluded that many State and 
        local emergency responders, including police officers and 
        firefighters, lack the equipment and training needed to respond 
        effectively to a terrorist attack involving weapons of mass 
        destruction.
            (19) Current first responder funding must be increased to 
        help local agencies create counter-terrorism units and assist 
        such agencies to integrate community policing models with 
        counter-terror efforts.
            (20) First responders still do not have adequate spectrum 
        to communicate during an emergency. Congress finally passed 
        legislation forcing the networks to turn over spectrum, but the 
        date was set for February 2008. This is unacceptable, this 
        spectrum should be turned over immediately.
            (21) The Federal Government has a responsibility to ensure 
        that the people of the United States are protected to the 
        greatest possible extent against a terrorist attack, especially 
        an attack that utilizes nuclear, chemical, biological, or 
        radiological weapons, and consequently, the Federal Government 
        has a critical responsibility to address the equipment, 
        training, and other needs of State and local first responders.
            (22) To echo the sentiments of the National Commission on 
        Terrorist Attacks upon the United States, ``it is time that we 
        stop talking about setting priorities and actually set some.''.
            (23) The cost of fully implementing all 41 recommendations 
        put forth by the Commission and the common sense steps to 
        secure the homeland represents less than 1 year of President 
        Bush's tax cuts for millionaires.
            (24) By investing 1 year of the tax cuts for millionaires 
        into a trust fund to be invested over the next 5 years, the 
        Federal Government can implement the Commission's 
        recommendations and make great strides towards making our 
        Nation safer.
            (25) The Americans making more than $1,000,000 understand 
        that our country changed after 9/11, yet they have not been 
        asked to sacrifice for the good of the Nation.
            (26) In this Act, we call on the patriotism of such 
        Americans by revoking 1 year of their tax cut and investing the 
        resulting revenues in the security of our neighbors and 
        families.
