            (2) The Administration has reported in the March 2007 
        report entitled ``Measuring Stability and Security in Iraq'' 
        that the number of Iraqi security forces nearing combat 
        proficiency is 328,700.
            (3) The Iraqi security forces continue to be trained to 
        achieve the highest level of combat efficiency in order to 
        provide for the security and stability of the Iraqi people.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) as battalions of the Iraqi security forces achieve a 
        level of combat proficiency such that they can conduct 
        independent combat operations without support from Coalition 
        forces in Iraq, units of the United States Armed Forces should 
        be redeployed from Iraq; and
            (2) regular, accurate accounts of the combat proficiency of 
        battalions of the Iraqi security forces are necessary for the 
        American public to gauge the development of the Iraqi security 
        forces.
    (c) Report on Combat Proficiency of Iraqi Security Forces.--The 
President shall transmit to the appropriate congressional committees 
each month a report in classified and unclassified form that contains 
an accounting of the number of battalions of the security forces of 
Iraq at each level of combat proficiency described in subsection (d).
    (d) Levels of Combat Proficiency.--The levels of combat proficiency 
referred to in subsection (c) are the following:
            (1) Level 1 means a battalion that can conduct independent 
        combat operations without support from Coalition forces in 
        Iraq.
            (2) Level 2 means a battalion that can conduct independent 
        combat operations, but only with logistical support, or non-
        combat-related support from Coalition forces in Iraq.
            (3) Level 3 means a battalion that can participate in 
        combat operations alongside Coalition forces, but cannot 
        conduct independent combat operations without direct combat 
        support from Coalition forces in Iraq.
            (4) Level 4 means a battalion that cannot participate in 
        combat operations, even with support from Coalition forces in 
        Iraq.
    (e) Comparison of Data.--The report shall include a comparison of 
data from each previous report with respect to each battalion of the 
security forces of Iraq.
    (f) Public Notification.--The President shall ensure that the 
unclassified form of each report required by this section is made 
available on the main public Internet Web site of the Department of

beginning after the date of the enactment of this division and to each 
subsequent month thereafter until the President determines and 
certifies to the appropriate congressional committees that the security 
forces of Iraq have achieved combat proficiency to the extent necessary 
to combat the insurgency in Iraq.
    Sec. 1327. (a) Congress finds that it is Defense Department policy 
that units should not be deployed for combat unless they are rated 
``fully mission capable''.
    (b) None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available in 
this or any other Act may be used to deploy any unit of the Armed 
Forces to Iraq unless the President has certified in writing to the 
Committees on Appropriations and the Committees on Armed Services at

that Army, Army Reserve, and National Guard units should not be 
deployed for combat beyond 365 days or that Marine Corps and Marine

    (b) None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available in 
this or any other Act may be obligated or expended to initiate the 
development of, continue the development of, or execute any order that 
has the effect of extending the deployment for Operation Iraqi Freedom

House of Representatives or the Senate on the first legislative day 
following the date on which the report of the President required by 
section 1330 is received by the Congress, does not contain a preamble,

        a joint resolution of approval, the Speaker shall, pursuant to 
        clause 2(b) of rule XVIII, declare the House resolved into the 
        Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union for 
        consideration of the joint resolution. The first reading of the

        of the joint resolution for amendment, the Committee shall rise 
        and report the joint resolution to the House with such 
        amendment as may have been adopted. The previous question shall 
        be considered as ordered on the joint resolution and amendment 
        thereto to final passage without intervening motion.
            (2) Permitted amendment.--The amendment specified in 
        paragraph (1) is an amendment the sole matter of which is as 
        follows: providing that defense funding related to Iraq may 
        only be used to plan and execute the redeployment of troops 
        within 180 days of enactment of the joint resolution of 
        approval, with the exception of troops who are protecting 
        American diplomatic facilities and American citizens (including 
        members of the United States Armed Forces), serving in roles 
        consistent with customary diplomatic positions, engaging in 
        targeted special actions limited in duration and scope to 
        killing or capturing members of al-Qaeda and other terrorist 
        organizations with global reach, or training and equipping 
        members of the Iraqi Security Forces.
            (3) Permitted motions.--During consideration of a joint 
        resolution of approval--
                    (A) the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may 
                entertain a motion that the Committee rise only if 
                offered by the chairman of the Committee on 
                Appropriations or a designee; and
                    (B) the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may

                words of the joint resolution (as described in clause 9 
                of rule XVIII).
            (4) Further consideration.--If the Committee of the Whole 
        rises and reports that it has come to no resolution on a joint 
        resolution of approval, then on the next legislative day the 
        House shall, immediately after the third daily order of 
        business under clause 1 of rule XIV, resolve into the Committee 
        on the Whole for further consideration of the joint resolution.
            (5) Appeals.--Appeals from the decisions of the Chair

        procedures relating to a joint resolution of approval shall be 
        decided without debate.
    (g) Floor Consideration in Senate.--For purposes of the Senate:
            (1) In general.--When the Committee on Appropriations has 
        reported (or has been discharged from further consideration of) 
        a joint resolution of approval, it shall be in order (even 
        though a previous motion to the same effect has been disagreed 
        to) for any Senator to move to proceed to the consideration of 
        the joint resolution. All points of order against the joint 
        resolution (and against consideration of the joint resolution) 
        shall be waived. The motion shall be privileged and not 
        debatable. The motion shall not be subject to amendment, a 
        motion to postpone, or a motion to proceed to the consideration 
        of other business. A motion to reconsider the vote by which the 
        motion is agreed to or disagreed to shall not be in order. If a 
        motion to proceed to the consideration of the joint resolution 
        is agreed to, the joint resolution shall remain the unfinished 
        business of the Senate until disposed of.
            (2) Debate.--Debate on a joint resolution of approval, and 
        on all debatable motions and appeals in connection therewith, 
        shall be limited to not more than 10 hours, which shall be 
        equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
        minority member of the Committee on Appropriations. A motion to 
        further limit debate shall be in order and shall not be 
        debatable, but such motion shall not be in order until after 5 
        hours of debate. An amendment to the joint resolution shall not 
        be in order. A motion to table, postpone, proceed to other 
        business, or recommit the joint resolution shall not be in 
        order. A motion to reconsider the vote by which the joint 
        resolution is agreed to or disagreed to shall not be in order.
            (3) Final passage.--Immediately following the conclusion of 
        the debate on a joint resolution of approval, and a single 
        quorum call at the conclusion of the debate if requested in 
        accordance with the rules of the Senate, the vote on final 
        passage of the joint resolution shall occur.
            (4) Appeals.--Appeals from the decisions of the Chair 
        relating to the application of the rules of the Senate relating 
        to the procedures relating to a joint resolution of approval 
        shall be decided without debate.
    (h) Consideration by Senate After Passage by House of 
Representatives.--
            (1) Prior to senate passage.--If, before passage by the 
        Senate of a joint resolution of approval of the Senate, the 
        Senate receives from the House of Representatives a joint 
        resolution of approval, then the following procedures shall 
        apply:
                    (A) The joint resolution of the House shall not be 
                referred to a committee.
                    (B) With respect to a joint resolution of approval 
                of the Senate--
                            (i) the procedure in the Senate shall be 
                        the same as if no joint resolution had been 
                        received from the House; but
                            (ii) the vote on final passage shall be on 
                        the joint resolution of the House.
                    (C) Upon disposition of the joint resolution 
                received from the House, it shall no longer be in order 
                to consider the joint resolution that originated in the 
                Senate.
            (2) Following senate passage.--If the Senate receives from 
        the House of Representatives a joint resolution of approval 
        after the Senate has disposed of a Senate originated joint 
        resolution, and the matter after the resolving clauses of the 2 
        joint resolutions are identical, the action of the Senate with 
        regard to the disposition of the Senate originated joint 
        resolution shall be deemed to be the action of the Senate with 
        regard to the House originated joint resolution.
    (i) Rules of House of Representatives and Senate.--Subsections (b) 
through (h) are enacted by the Congress--
            (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the House of 
        Representatives and the Senate, respectively, and as such is 
        deemed a part of the rules of each House, respectively, and 
        such procedures supersede other rules only to the extent that 
        they are inconsistent with such other rules; and
            (2) with the full recognition of the constitutional right 
        of either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the 
        procedures of that House) at any time, in the same manner, and 
        to the same extent as any other rule of that House.

Assistance and Western States Emergency Unfinished Business 
Appropriations Act, 2007''.

SEC. 2. STATEMENT OF APPROPRIATIONS.

    The following sums in this division are appropriated, out of any 
money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, for the fiscal year 
ending September 30, 2007.

                    TITLE I--AGRICULTURAL ASSISTANCE

SEC. 1001. 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 or 2006 crop, or that part of the 2007 crop 
year before February 28, 2007, 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 50 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) 50 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:

                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

        Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (7 U.S.C. 7333) for the crop

        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),

                losses in the calendar year 2007 grazing season that

                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
