        with the bravery and professionalism consistent with the finest 
        traditions of the United States Armed Forces, and are deserving 
        of the strong support of all Americans.
            (2) Many American service personnel have lost their lives, 
        and many more have been wounded in Iraq; the American people 
        will always honor their sacrifice and honor their families.
            (3) The United States Army and Marine Corps, including 
        their Reserve components and National Guard organizations, 
        together with components of the other branches of the military, 
        are performing their missions while under enormous strain from 
        multiple, extended deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. These 
        deployments, and those that will follow, will have a lasting 
        impact on future recruiting, retention, and readiness of our 
        Nation's all volunteer force.
            (4) Iraq is experiencing a deteriorating problem of 
        sectarian and intrasectarian violence based upon political 
        distrust and cultural differences among factions of the Sunni 
        and Shia populations.
            (5) Iraqis must reach political and economic settlements in 
        order to achieve reconciliation, for there is no military 
        solution. The failure of the Iraqis to reach such settlements 
        to support a truly unified government greatly contributes to 
        the increasing violence in Iraq.
            (6) The responsibility for Iraq's internal security and 
        halting sectarian violence rests with the sovereign Government 
        of Iraq.
            (7) In December 2006, the bipartisan Iraq Study Group 
        issued a valuable report, suggesting a comprehensive strategy 
        that includes new and enhanced diplomatic and political efforts 
        in Iraq and the region, and a change in the primary mission of 
        U.S. forces in Iraq, that will enable the United States to 
        begin to move its combat forces out of Iraq responsibly.
            (8) The President said on January 10, 2007, that ``I've 
        made it clear to the Prime Minister and Iraq's other leaders 
        that America's commitment is not open-ended'' so as to dispel 
        the contrary impression that exists.
            (9) It is essential that the sovereign Government of Iraq 
        set out measurable and achievable benchmarks and President Bush 
        said, on January 10, 2007, that ``America will change our 
        approach to help the Iraqi government as it works to meet these 
        benchmarks''.
            (10) As reported by Secretary of State Rice, Iraq's Policy 
        Committee on National Security agreed upon a set of political, 
        security, and economic benchmarks and an associated timeline in 
        September 2006 that were: (A) reaffirmed by Iraq's Presidency 
        Council on October 6, 2006; (B) referenced by the Iraq Study 
        Group; and (C) posted on the President of Iraq's Web site.
            (11) On April 21, 2007, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates 
        stated that ``our [American] commitment to Iraq is long-term, 
        but it is not a commitment to have our young men and women 
        patrolling Iraq's streets open-endedly'' and that ``progress in 
        reconciliation will be an important element of our 
        evaluation''.
            (12) The President's January 10, 2007, address had three 
        components: political, military, and economic. Given that 
        significant time has passed since his statement, and 
        recognizing the overall situation is ever changing, Congress 
        must have timely reports to evaluate and execute its 
        constitutional oversight responsibilities.
    (b) Conditioning of Future United States Strategy in Iraq on the 
Iraqi Government's Record of Performance on Its Benchmarks.--
            (1) In general.--

                President, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of 
                Defense, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 
                and reflected in the Iraqi Government's commitments to

                        without regard to the sect or ethnicity of 
                        recipients, and enacting and implementing 
                        legislation to ensure that the energy resources 
                        of Iraq benefit Sunni Arabs, Shia Arabs, Kurds, 
                        and other Iraqi citizens in an equitable 
                        manner.
                            (iv) Enacting and implementing legislation

                        establishing an Independent High Electoral 
                        Commission, provincial elections law, 
                        provincial council authorities, and a date for

                        any outlaws, regardless of [their] sectarian or

                Congress on how that assessment requires, or does not 
                require, changes to the strategy announced on January 
                10, 2007.
            (2) Reports required.--
                    (A) The President shall submit an initial report, 
                in classified and unclassified format, to the Congress,

                of the strategy, as announced by the President on 
                January 10, 2007. In addition, the President shall

    (e) Independent Assessments.--

                        benchmarks specified in subsection (b)(1)(A); 
                        and
                            (ii) the Comptroller General's assessment

                        met.
            (2) Assessment of the capabilities of iraqi security 
        forces.--
                    (A) In general.--There is hereby authorized to be 
                appropriated for the Department of Defense, $750,000, 
                that the Department, in turn, will commission an 
                independent, private sector entity, which operates as a 
                501(c)(3), with recognized credentials and expertise in 
                military affairs, to prepare an independent report 
                assessing the following:
                            (i) The readiness of the Iraqi Security 
                        Forces (ISF) to assume responsibility for 
                        maintaining the territorial integrity of Iraq, 
                        denying international terrorists a safe haven, 
                        and bringing greater security to Iraq's 18 
                        provinces in the next 12 to 18 months, and 
                        bringing an end to sectarian violence to 
                        achieve national reconciliation.
                            (ii) The training, equipping, command, 
                        control and intelligence capabilities, and 
                        logistics capacity of the ISF.
                            (iii) The likelihood that, given the ISF's 
                        record of preparedness to date, following years 
                        of training and equipping by U.S. forces, the 
                        continued support of U.S. troops will 
                        contribute to the readiness of the ISF to 
                        fulfill the missions outlined in clause (i).
                    (B) Report.--Not later than 120 days after the 
                enactment of this Act, the designated private sector 
                entity shall provide an unclassified report, with a

    Sec. 6901. (a) Hereafter, funds limited or appropriated for the 
Department of Transportation may be obligated or expended to grant 
authority to a Mexico-domiciled motor carrier to operate beyond United 
States municipalities and commercial zones on the United States-Mexico 
border only to the extent that--
            (1) granting such authority is first tested as part of a 
        pilot program;
            (2) such pilot program complies with the requirements of 
        section 350 of Public Law 107-87 and the requirements of 
        section 31315(c) of title 49, United States Code, related to 
        pilot programs; and

        Mexico is made available to motor carriers domiciled in the 
        United States.
    (b) Prior to the initiation of the pilot program described in

            (1) the Inspector General of the Department of 
        Transportation shall transmit to Congress and the Secretary of 
        Transportation a report verifying compliance with each of the 
        requirements of subsection (a) of section 350 of Public Law 
        107-87, including whether the Secretary of Transportation has 
        established sufficient mechanisms to apply Federal motor 
        carrier safety laws and regulations to motor carriers domiciled 
        in Mexico that are granted authority to operate beyond the 
        United States municipalities and commercial zones on the United 
        States-Mexico border and to ensure compliance with such laws 
        and regulations; and
            (2) the Secretary of Transportation shall--
                    (A) take such action as may be necessary to address 
                any issues raised in the report of the Inspector 
                General under subsection (b)(1) and submit a report to 
                Congress detailing such actions; and
                    (B) publish in the Federal Register, and provide 
                sufficient opportunity for public notice and comment--
                            (i) comprehensive data and information on 
                        the pre-authorization safety audits conducted

                        Act of motor carriers domiciled in Mexico that 
                        are granted authority to operate beyond the 
                        United States municipalities and commercial 
                        zones on the United States-Mexico border;
                            (ii) specific measures to be required to 
                        protect the health and safety of the public, 
                        including enforcement measures and penalties

                        Regulations;
                            (iv) specific standards to be used to 
                        evaluate the pilot program and compare any 
                        change in the level of motor carrier safety as 
                        a result of the pilot program; and
                            (v) a list of Federal motor carrier safety 
                        laws and regulations, including the commercial 
                        drivers license requirements, for which the 
                        Secretary of Transportation will accept 
                        compliance with a corresponding Mexican law or 
                        regulation as the equivalent to compliance with 
                        the United States law or regulation, including 
                        for each law or regulation an analysis as to 
                        how the corresponding United States and Mexican 
                        laws and regulations differ.
    (c) During and following the pilot program described in subsection 
(a), the Inspector General of the Department of Transportation shall 
monitor and review the conduct of the pilot program and submit to 
Congress and the Secretary of Transportation an interim report, 6 
months after the commencement of the pilot program, and a final report, 
within 60 days after the conclusion of the pilot program. Such reports 
shall address whether--
            (1) the Secretary of Transportation has established 
        sufficient mechanisms to determine whether the pilot program is 
        having any adverse effects on motor carrier safety;
            (2) Federal and State monitoring and enforcement activities 
        are sufficient to ensure that participants in the pilot program 
        are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations; and
            (3) the pilot program consists of a representative and 
        adequate sample of Mexico-domiciled carriers likely to engage 
        in cross-border operations beyond United States municipalities 
        and commercial zones on the United States-Mexico border.
    (d) In the event that the Secretary of Transportation in any fiscal 
year seeks to grant operating authority for the purpose of initiating 
cross-border operations beyond United States municipalities and 
commercial zones on the United States-Mexico border either with Mexico-
domiciled motor coaches or Mexico-domiciled commercial motor vehicles 
carrying placardable quantities of hazardous materials, such activities 
shall be initiated only after the conclusion of a separate pilot 
program limited to vehicles of the pertinent type. Each such separate 
pilot program shall follow the same requirements and processes 
stipulated under subsections (a) through (c) of this section and shall 
be planned, conducted and evaluated in concert with the Department of 
Homeland Security or its Inspector General, as appropriate, so as to 
address any and all security concerns associated with such cross-border 
operations.

                   TITLE IX--AGRICULTURAL ASSISTANCE

SEC. 9001. CROP DISASTER ASSISTANCE.

    (a) Assistance Available.--There are hereby appropriated to the 
Secretary of Agriculture such sums as are necessary, to remain 
available until expended, to make emergency financial assistance 
available to producers on a farm that incurred qualifying quantity or 
quality losses for the 2005, 2006, or 2007 crop, due to damaging 
weather or any related condition (including losses due to crop 
diseases, insects, and delayed planting), as determined by the 
Secretary. However, to be eligible for assistance, the crop subject to 
the loss must have been planted before February 28, 2007, or, in the 
case of prevented planting or other total loss, would have been planted 
before February 28, 2007, in the absence of the damaging weather or any 
related condition.
    (b) Election of Crop Year.--If a producer incurred qualifying crop 
losses in more than one of the 2005, 2006, or 2007 crop years, the 
producer shall elect to receive assistance under this section for 
losses incurred in only one of such crop years. The producer may not 
receive assistance under this section for more than one crop year.
    (c) Administration.--
            (1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), the 
        Secretary of Agriculture shall make assistance available under 
        this section in the same manner as provided under section 815 
        of the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug 
        Administration and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2001 
        (Public Law 106-387; 114 Stat. 1549A-55), including using the 
        same loss thresholds for quantity and economic losses as were 
        used in administering that section, except that the payment 
        rate shall be 42 percent of the established price, instead of 
        65 percent.
            (2) Loss thresholds for quality losses.--In the case of a 
        payment for quality loss for a crop under subsection (a), the 
        loss thresholds for quality loss for the crop shall be 
        determined under subsection (d).
    (d) Quality Losses.--
            (1) In general.--Subject to paragraph (3), the amount of a 
        payment made to producers on a farm for a quality loss for a 
        crop under subsection (a) shall be equal to the amount obtained 
        by multiplying--
                    (A) 65 percent of the payment quantity determined 
                under paragraph (2); by
                    (B) 42 percent of the payment rate determined under 
                paragraph (3).
            (2) Payment quantity.--For the purpose of paragraph (1)(A), 
        the payment quantity for quality losses for a crop of a 
        commodity on a farm shall equal the lesser of--
                    (A) the actual production of the crop affected by a 
                quality loss of the commodity on the farm; or
                    (B) the quantity of expected production of the crop 
                affected by a quality loss of the commodity on the 
                farm, using the formula used by the Secretary of 
                Agriculture to determine quantity losses for the crop 
                of the commodity under subsection (a).
            (3) Payment rate.--For the purpose of paragraph (1)(B) and 
        in accordance with paragraphs (5) and (6), the payment rate for 
        quality losses for a crop of a commodity on a farm shall be 
        equal to the difference between--
                    (A) the per unit market value that the units of the 
                crop affected by the quality loss would have had if the 
                crop had not suffered a quality loss; and
                    (B) the per unit market value of the units of the 
                crop affected by the quality loss.
            (4) Eligibility.--For producers on a farm to be eligible to 
        obtain a payment for a quality loss for a crop under subsection 
        (a), the amount obtained by multiplying the per unit loss 
        determined under paragraph (1) by the number of units affected 
        by the quality loss shall be at least 25 percent of the value 
        that all affected production of the crop would have had if the 
        crop had not suffered a quality loss.
            (5) Marketing contracts.--In the case of any production of 
        a commodity that is sold pursuant to one or more marketing 
        contracts (regardless of whether the contract is entered into 
        by the producers on the farm before or after harvest) and for 
        which appropriate documentation exists, the quantity designated 
        in the contracts shall be eligible for quality loss assistance 
        based on the one or more prices specified in the contracts.
            (6) Other production.--For any additional production of a 
        commodity for which a marketing contract does not exist or for 
        which production continues to be owned by the producer, quality 
        losses shall be based on the average local market discounts for 
        reduced quality, as determined by the appropriate State 
        committee of the Farm Service Agency.
            (7) Quality adjustments and discounts.--The appropriate 
        State committee of the Farm Service Agency shall identify the 
        appropriate quality adjustment and discount factors to be 
        considered in carrying out this subsection, including--
                    (A) the average local discounts actually applied to 
                a crop; and
                    (B) the discount schedules applied to loans made by 
                the Farm Service Agency or crop insurance coverage 
                under the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1501 et 
                seq.).
            (8) Eligible production.--The Secretary of Agriculture 
        shall carry out this subsection in a fair and equitable manner 
        for all eligible production, including the production of fruits 
        and vegetables, other specialty crops, and field crops.
    (e) Payment Limitations.--
            (1) Limit on amount of assistance.--Assistance provided 
        under this section to a producer for losses to a crop, together 
        with the amounts specified in paragraph (2) applicable to the 
        same crop, may not exceed 95 percent of what the value of the 
        crop would have been in the absence of the losses, as estimated 
        by the Secretary of Agriculture.
            (2) Other payments.--In applying the limitation in 
        paragraph (1), the Secretary shall include the following:
                    (A) Any crop insurance payment made under the 
                Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.) or 
                payment under section 196 of the Federal Agriculture 
                Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (7 U.S.C. 7333) that 
                the producer receives for losses to the same crop.
                    (B) The value of the crop that was not lost (if 
                any), as estimated by the Secretary.
    (f) Eligibility Requirements and Limitations.--The producers on a 
farm shall not be eligible for assistance under this section with 
respect to losses to an insurable commodity or noninsurable commodity 
if the producers on the farm--
            (1) in the case of an insurable commodity, did not obtain a 
        policy or plan of insurance for the insurable commodity under 
        the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.) for the 
        crop incurring the losses;
            (2) in the case of a noninsurable commodity, did not file 
        the required paperwork, and pay the administrative fee by the 
        applicable State filing deadline, for the noninsurable 
        commodity under section 196 of the Federal Agriculture 
        Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (7 U.S.C. 7333) for the crop 
        incurring the losses; or

        the producers on the farm submit to the Secretary a completed 
        application for the payments.
            (2) Interest.--If the Secretary does not make payments to 
        the producers on a farm by the date described in paragraph (1), 
        the Secretary shall pay to the producers on a farm interest on 
        the payments at a rate equal to the current (as of the sign-up 
        deadline established by the Secretary) market yield on 
        outstanding, marketable obligations of the United States with 
        maturities of 30 years.

        the Secretary (including losses due to blizzards that started 
        in 2006 and continued into January 2007). However, the payment 
        rate for compensation under this subsection shall be 61 percent 
        of the payment rate otherwise applicable under such program. In 
        addition, section 1416.102(b)(2)(ii) of title 7, Code of 
        Federal Regulations (72 Fed. Reg. 6444) shall not apply.
            (2) Eligible applicants.--In carrying out the program 
        described in paragraph (1), the Secretary shall provide

                in a disaster county with eligible livestock specified 
                in paragraph (1) of section 1416.102(a) of title 7, 
                Code of Federal Regulations (72 Fed. Reg. 6444), an 
                animal described in section 10806(a)(1) of the Farm 
                Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (21 U.S.C. 
                321d(a)(1)), or other animals designated by the 
                Secretary as livestock for purposes of this subsection; 
                and

            (3) Election of losses.--

                losses in more than one of the 2005, 2006, or 2007 
                calendar years, the producer shall elect to receive 
                payments under this subsection for losses incurred in 
                only one of such calendar years, and such losses must 
                have been incurred in a county declared or designated 
                as a disaster county in that same calendar year.
                    (B) Producers may elect to receive compensation for 
                losses in the calendar year 2007 grazing season that 
                are attributable to wildfires occurring during the 
                applicable period, as determined by the Secretary.
            (4) Mitigation.--In determining the eligibility for or 
        amount of payments for which a producer is eligible under the 
        livestock compensation program, the Secretary shall not
