    Subtitle D--National Infrastructure Development Bank Act of 2011

SEC. 1401. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``National Infrastructure 
Development Bank Act of 2011''.

SEC. 1402. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, 
        the current condition of the infrastructure in the United 
        States earns a grade point average of D, and an estimated 
        $2,200,000,000,000 investment is needed over the next 5 years 
        to meet adequate conditions.
            (2) According to the National Surface Transportation Policy 
        and Revenue Study Commission, $225,000,000,000 is needed 
        annually from all sources for the next 50 years to upgrade our 
        surface transportation system to a state of good repair and 
        create a more advanced system.
            (3) The Environmental Protection Agency projects that--
                    (A) $334,000,000,000 is needed to invest in 
                infrastructure improvements over 20 years to ensure the 
                provision of safe water; and
                    (B) $202,500,000,000 is needed for publicly owned 
                wastewater systems-related infrastructure needs over 20 
                years.
            (4) According to the Edison Electric Institute, the 
        electric power industry will need to invest $298,000,000,000 in 
        the Nation's transmission system by 2030 in order to maintain 
        reliable service.
            (5) According to the American Council on Renewable Energy, 
        renewable energy could provide up to 635 gigawatts of new 
        electricity generating capacity by 2025, a substantial 
        contribution and potentially more than the Nation's need for 
        new capacity, according to the United States Energy Information 
        Administration.
            (6) According to the United States Green Building Council, 
        United States buildings account for nearly 39 percent of 
        primary energy use and 38 percent of carbon emissions.
            (7) According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation 
        and Development (OECD), the United States ranks 14th among OECD 
        nations in broadband access per 100 inhabitants.
            (8) Although grant programs of the Government must continue 
        to play a central role in financing the transportation, 
        environment, energy, and telecommunications infrastructure 
        needs of the United States, current and foreseeable demands on 
        existing Federal, State, and local funding for infrastructure 
        expansion exceed the resources to support these programs by 
        margins wide enough to prompt serious concerns about the United 
        States' ability to sustain long-term economic development, 
        productivity, and international competitiveness.
            (9) The capital markets, including central banks, pension 
        funds, financial institutions, sovereign wealth funds, and 
        insurance companies, have a growing interest in infrastructure 
        investment. The establishment of a United States Government-
        owned institution that would provide this investment 
        opportunity through high-quality bond issues that would be used 
        to finance qualifying infrastructure projects would attract 
        needed capital for United States infrastructure development.

          Subtitle J--Fair Employment Opportunity Act of 2011

SEC. 1901. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Fair Employment Opportunity Act 
of 2011''.

SEC. 1902. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that denial of employment 
opportunities to individuals because they are or have been unemployed 
is discriminatory and burdens commerce by--
            (1) reducing personal consumption and undermining economic 
        stability and growth;
            (2) squandering human capital essential to the Nation's 
        economic vibrancy and growth;
            (3) increasing demands for State and Federal unemployment 
        insurance benefits, reducing trust fund assets, and leading to 
        higher payroll taxes for employers, cuts in benefits for 
        jobless workers, or both;
            (4) imposing additional burdens on publicly funded health 
        and welfare programs; and
            (5) depressing income, property, and other tax revenues 
        that states, localities and the Federal Government rely on to 
        support operations and institutions essential to commerce.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this subtitle is to prohibit 
consideration of an individual's status as unemployed in screening for 
or filling positions except where a requirement related to employment 
status is a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary 
to successful performance in the job and to eliminate the burdens 
imposed on commerce by excluding such individuals from employment.

                                lost to the individual, any actual 
                                monetary losses sustained by the 
                                individual as a direct result of the 
                                violation or a civil penalty of $1,000 
                                per violation per day, whichever is

        this subsection to bring an action by or on behalf of any 
        affected individual shall terminate--

                Secretary shall notify in writing the Committee on

Afghanistan Act''.

SEC. 2002. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    It is the policy of the United States to ensure that funds made 
available for operations of the Armed Forces in Afghanistan are to be 
used only for purposes of providing for the safe and orderly withdrawal 
from Afghanistan of all members of the Armed Forces and Department of 
Defense contractor personnel who are in Afghanistan.

SEC. 2003. LIMITATION ON USE OF FUNDS FOR OPERATIONS OF THE ARMED 
              FORCES IN AFGHANISTAN.

    (a) Limitation.--Funds appropriated or otherwise made available 
under any provision of law for operations of the Armed Forces in 
Afghanistan shall be obligated and expended only for purposes of 
providing for the safe and orderly withdrawal from Afghanistan of all 
members of the Armed Forces and Department of Defense contractor 
personnel who are in Afghanistan.
    (b) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this subtitle shall be 
construed--
            (1) to authorize the use of funds for the continuation of 
        combat operations in Afghanistan while carrying out the safe 
        and orderly withdrawal from Afghanistan of all members of the 
        Armed Forces and Department of Defense contractor personnel who 
        are in Afghanistan; and
            (2) to prohibit or otherwise restrict the use of funds 
        available to any department or agency of the United States to

             Subtitle B--Defense and Deficit Reduction Act

SEC. 2101. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Defense and Deficit Reduction 
Act''.

SEC. 2102. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Under H. Res. 38, the Chair of the Committee on the 
        Budget shall include in the Congressional Record an allocation 
        for the remainder of fiscal year 2011 that assumes nonsecurity 
        spending at fiscal year 2008 levels.
            (2) Reductions in defense spending should be included in 
        any effort to reduce Federal outlays and reduce the national 
        deficit.
            (3) In fiscal year 2010, defense spending comprised 58 
        percent of discretionary spending.
            (4) If defense spending continued at fiscal year 2010 
        levels for the next 5 years, it would total $3,600,000,000,000.
            (5) Reducing defense spending to fiscal year 2008 levels 
        would save approximately $182,000,000,000 over 5 years compared 
        to current levels.
            (6) In January 2011 Secretary of Defense Gates stated that 
        the Administration is seeking $78,000,000,000 in cuts to the 
        defense budget over the next five years on top of 
        $100,000,000,000 in efficiencies. This savings should be used 
        to decrease the deficit.
            (7) President Obama has pledged to begin drawing down 
        forces in Afghanistan in July 2011 with a goal of full 
        withdrawal in 2014. With a decrease in troops abroad, our 
        defense spending should decrease.
            (8) In a CBS News Poll from January 2011, over 50 percent 
        of Americans questioned would reduce defense spending to 
        decrease the Federal deficit.
            (9) The United States currently spends more on its military 
        and defense than the next 19 biggest spending nations combined.
            (10) Making reasonable reductions to the defense budget can 
        help to solve the Nation's long-term fiscal problems.

SEC. 2103. REDUCTION AND FREEZE IN BUDGET OF DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

    (a) Reduction and Freeze.--The aggregate amount of funds 
appropriated or otherwise made available for military functions

        the functions excluded by subsection (b)) for fiscal year 2008; 
        and
            (2) in the case of fiscal years 2012 through 2016, the 
        aggregate amount of funds appropriated or otherwise made 
        available for such functions for the previous fiscal year.
    (b) Exclusion of Military Personnel Pay and Benefits.--In 
determining the aggregate amount of funds appropriated or otherwise

Defense for fiscal year 2008 or any subsequent fiscal year for purposes 
of subsection (a), there shall be excluded all amounts appropriated or 
otherwise made available in general and supplemental appropriations 
Acts for--

        appropriations Act;
