                     TITLE II--BUDGETARY PROCEDURES

     SEC. 21. SALE OF GOVERNMENT ASSETS.

       (a) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) from time to time the United States Government should 
     sell assets; and
       (2) the amounts realized from such asset sales will not 
     recur on an annual basis and do not reduce the demand for 
     credit.
       (b) Finding.--The Congress finds that every budget 
     resolution since that for fiscal year 1988 has included 
     language prohibiting counting in the budget process the 
     amounts realized from asset sales (other than loan assets).
       (c) Budgetary Treatment.--For purposes of points of order 
     under this concurrent resolution and the Congressional Budget 
     and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, the amounts realized 
     from sales of assets (other than loan assets) shall not be 
     scored with respect to the level of budget authority, 
     outlays, or revenues.
       (d) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--
       (1) the term ``sale of an asset'' shall have the same 
     meaning as under section 250(c)(21) of the Balanced Budget 
     and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (as amended by the 
     Budget Enforcement Act of 1990); and
       (2) the term shall not include asset sales mandated by law 
     before September 18, 1987, and routine, ongoing asset sales 
     at levels consistent with agency operations in fiscal year 
     1986.
       (e) Sunset.--Subsections (a) through (d) of this section 
     shall expire September 30, 1998.
       (f) Conforming Amendment.--Section 8 of House Concurrent 
     Resolution 64 (103d Congress), section 8 of House Concurrent 
     Resolution 287 (102d Congress), section 7 of House Concurrent 
     Resolution 121 (102d Congress), section 5 of House Concurrent 
     Resolution 310 (101st Congress), section 6 of House 
     Concurrent Resolution 106 (101st Congress), section 4 of 
     House Concurrent Resolution 268 (100th Congress), and 
     sections 7 and 8 of House Concurrent Resolution 93 (100th 
     Congress) are repealed.

     SEC. 22. SOCIAL SECURITY FIRE WALL POINT OF ORDER IN THE 
                   SENATE.

       (a) Finding.--The Senate finds that the concurrent 
     resolutions on the budget for fiscal years 1993 and 1994 have 
     prohibited subsequent concurrent resolutions on the budget 
     from decreasing the balances of the social security trust 
     fund.
       (b) Application of Section 301(i).--Notwithstanding any 
     other rule of the Senate, in the Senate, the point of order 
     established under section 301(i) of the Congressional Budget 
     Act of 1974 shall apply to any concurrent resolution on the 
     budget for any fiscal year (as reported and as amended), 
     amendments thereto, or any conference report thereon.
       (c) Conforming Amendment.--Section 10(b) of House 
     Concurrent Resolution 64 (103d Congress) and section 12(b) of 
     House Concurrent Resolution 287 (102d Congress) are repealed.

     SEC. 23. ENFORCING PAY-AS-YOU-GO.

       (a) Purpose.--The Senate declares that it is essential to--
       (1) ensure continued compliance with the deficit reduction 
     embodied in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993; 
     and
       (2) continue the pay-as-you-go enforcement system.
       (b) Finding.--The Senate finds that section 12(c) of the 
     concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 1994 
     created a point of order prohibiting legislation that would 
     increase the deficit through fiscal year 2003.
       (c) Enforcement.--
       (1) In general.--It shall not be in order in the Senate to 
     consider any direct spending or receipts legislation 
     (including any such bill, joint resolution, amendment, 
     motion, or conference report) that would--
       (A) increase the deficit for the first fiscal year covered 
     by the most recently adopted concurrent resolution on the 
     budget;
       (B) increase the deficit for the period of the 5 fiscal 
     years covered by the most recently adopted concurrent 
     resolution on the budget; or
       (C) increase the deficit to a significant degree for the 
     period of the 5 fiscal years following the first 5 years 
     covered by the most recently adopted concurrent resolution on 
     the budget;

     when taken individually (as a bill, joint resolution, 
     amendment, motion, or conference report, as the case may be), 
     and when taken together with all direct spending and receipts 
     legislation enacted after the date of enactment of the 
     Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993.
       (2) Direct spending and receipts legislation.--For purposes 
     of this subsection, direct spending and receipts legislation 
     shall--
       (A) exclude full funding of, and continuation of, the 
     deposit insurance guarantee commitment in effect on the date 
     of enactment of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990;
       (B) exclude emergency provisions so designated under 
     section 252(e) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit 
     Control Act of 1985;
       (C) include the estimated amount of savings in direct 
     spending programs applicable to that fiscal year resulting 
     from the prior year's sequestration under the Balanced Budget 
     and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, if any (except for 
     any amounts sequestered as a result of a net deficit increase 
     in the fiscal year immediately preceding the prior fiscal 
     year); and
       (D) except as otherwise provided in this subsection, 
     include all direct spending legislation as that term is 
     defined in section 250(c)(8) of the Balanced Budget and 
     Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
       (d) Waiver.--This section may be waived or suspended in the 
     Senate only by the affirmative vote of three-fifths of the 
     Members, duly chosen and sworn.
       (e) Appeals.--Appeals in the Senate from the decisions of 
     the Chair relating to any provision of this section shall be 
     limited to 1 hour, to be equally divided between, and 
     controlled by, the appellant and the manager of the bill or 
     joint resolution, as the case may be. An affirmative vote of 
     three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly chosen and 
     sworn, shall be required in the Senate to sustain an appeal 
     of the ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised under 
     this section.
       (f) Determination of Budget Levels.--For purposes of this 
     section, the levels of new budget authority, outlays, and 
     receipts for a fiscal year shall be determined on the basis 
     of estimates made by the Committee on the Budget of the 
     Senate.
       (g) Conforming Amendment.--Section 12(c) of House 
     Concurrent Resolution 64 (103d Congress) is repealed.
       (h) Technical Correction.--Notwithstanding section 275(b) 
     of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 
     1985 (as amended by sections 13112(b) and 13208(b)(3) of the 
     Budget Enforcement Act of 1990), the second sentence of 
     section 904(c) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 
     (except insofar as it relates to section 313 of that Act) and 
     the final sentence of section 904(d) of that Act (except 
     insofar as it relates to section 313 of that Act) shall 
     continue to have effect as a rule of the Senate through (but 
     no later than) September 30, 1998.
       (i) Sunset.--Subsections (a) through (f) of this section 
     shall expire September 30, 1998.

     $6,000,000,000,000;

     that federal outlays should be reduced to reflect the

         FEDERAL DISASTER PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE ACT OF 1993

                                 ______


                  AKAKA (AND GLENN) AMENDMENT NO. 1575

  (Ordered referred to the Committee on Governmental Affairs.)
  Mr. AKAKA (for himself and Mr. Glenn) submitted an amendment intended 
to be proposed by them to the bill (S. 1697) to improve the ability of 
the Federal Government to prepare for and respond to major disasters, 
and for other purposes; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following new section:

     SEC. ____. PREVENTION OF FRAUD FOLLOWING MAJOR DISASTERS.

       (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the 
     ``Disaster Victims Crime Prevention Act of 1994''.
       (b) Definitions.--As used in this section:
       (1) Agreement.--The term ``agreement'', with respect to the 
     provision of a consumer good or service, includes an offer or 
     undertaking to provide or arrange for the provision of the 
     consumer good or service without regard to whether an 
     enforceable contract is entered into.
       (2) Consumer good or service.--The term ``consumer good or 
     service'' means a good, piece of equipment, or service 
     provided primarily for personal, family, or household 
     purposes, including food, water, ice, a chemical, a building 
     supply, a tool, a petroleum product, a residential lease 
     property, a residential construction, reconstruction, or 
     repair service, or a service for the removal of debris 
     (including a damaged tree) and garbage.
       (3) Provide.--The term ``provide'', with respect to a 
     consumer good or service, means to sell, lease, or otherwise 
     provide in exchange for consideration, the good or service.
       (4) Supplier.--The term ``supplier'' includes a seller, 
     reseller, wholesaler, distributor, retailer, lessor, 
     provider, or licensed or unlicensed contractor, 
     subcontractor, or laborer, involved in the provision or 
     distribution of a consumer good or service.
       (c) Establishment of Anti-Fraud Strike Forces.--Following 
     the declaration of the existence of a major disaster by the 
     President, the Attorney General shall--
       (1) consult with the United States Attorney for the 
     district in which the disaster occurred and with State and 
     local law enforcement officials to determine the extent to 
     which victims of the disaster are being further victimized by 
     fraudulent or otherwise unscrupulous activities of suppliers 
     offering consumer goods and services for cleanup, repair, and 
     other recovery from the effects of the disaster; and
       (2) if it appears that the extent of the activities 
     referred to in paragraph (1) is such that the resources of 
     the officials are not sufficient to quickly and adequately 
     investigate and prosecute the activities, establish an anti-
     fraud task force of investigators and prosecutors to combat 
     the activities in the area affected by the disaster.
       (d) Fraud Involving Disaster Victims.--
       (1) Suppliers of consumer goods and services.--
       (A) Offense.--During the period beginning on the date the 
     existence of a major disaster is declared by the President 
     and ending 180 days after that date, and within the area to 
     which the declaration applies, a supplier who by false 
     pretenses, by the making of a representation that the 
     supplier knows, or has reason to know, is false or 
     misleading, or through fraudulent conduct, obtains money or 
     any other thing of value in connection with an agreement to 
     provide a consumer good or service for the cleanup, repair, 
     or other recovery from the effects of a major disaster shall 
     be punished as provided in subparagraph (B).
       (B) Penalty.--A supplier who commits an offense described 
     in subparagraph (A) shall be imprisoned not more than 10 
     years or fined under title 18, United States Code, or both.
       (C) Presumptions.--For the purposes of subparagraph (A), a 
     supplier shall be considered to obtain money or another thing 
     of value by false pretenses if--
       (i)(I) the supplier uses the money or other thing of value 
     for any purpose other than to--

       (aa) purchase materials to be used in carrying out the 
     agreement;
       (bb) pay for work performed or other expenses incurred in 
     connection with the agreement; or
       (cc) pay for a proportionate share of the overhead and 
     profit of the supplier; and

       (II) the person with whom the agreement was made has not 
     authorized, in writing, the use of the money or other thing 
     of value for a purpose other than a purpose described in item 
     (aa), (bb), or (cc) of subclause (I); or
       (ii) in the case of an agreement to provide or arrange for 
     the provision of a residential construction, reconstruction, 
     or repair service, or a service for the removal of debris 
     (including a damaged tree) and garbage--

       (I) the supplier receives more than 10 percent of the money 
     or other thing of value under the agreement for the service 
     and fails to--

       (aa) apply for each permit necessary to carry out the 
     agreement by the date that is 30 days after the date of the 
     receipt of the money or thing of value; or
       (bb) start carrying out the construction, reconstruction, 
     repair, or removal by the date that is 90 days after the last 
     necessary permit is obtained; and
       (II) the person with whom the agreement was made has not 
     authorized, in writing, a longer time period than the 
     applicable period described in subclause (I).
       (2) Beneficiaries of federal assistance.--
       (A) Offense.--A person who by false pretenses, by the 
     making of a representation that the supplier knows, or has 
     reason to know, is false or misleading, or through fraudulent 
     conduct, obtains a grant or loan of money, a consumer good or 
     service, or any other form of assistance, directly or 
     indirectly, from the Federal Government for use in connection 
     with the cleanup, repair, or other recovery from the effects 
     of a major disaster shall be punished as provided in 
     subparagraph (B).
       (B) Penalty.--A person who commits an offense described in 
     subparagraph (A) shall be imprisoned not more than 10 years 
     or fined under title 18, United States Code, or both.
       (e) Price-Gouging of Disaster Victims.--
       (1) Offense.--
       (A) In general.--During the period beginning on the date 
     the existence of a major disaster is declared by the 
     President and ending 180 days after that date, and within the 
     area to which the declaration applies, it shall be unlawful 
     for a supplier to provide, or to offer to provide, any 
     consumer good or service at an unconscionably excessive price 
     (as determined under subparagraph (B)).
       (B) Determination of unconscionably excessive price.--
       (i) In general.--For the purpose of subparagraph (A), 
     whether a price is unconscionably excessive shall be a 
     question of law for a court to determine. There shall be 
     considered to be prima facie evidence that a price is 
     unconscionably excessive if--

       (I)(aa) the amount charged represents a gross disparity 
     between the price of the consumer good or service that is the 
     subject of the transaction and the average price at which the 
     consumer good or service was provided, or offered to be 
     provided, by the supplier in the ordinary course of business 
     during the 30-day period immediately prior to the declaration 
     of the existence of the disaster; or
       (bb) the amount charged grossly exceeds the average price 
     at which the same or similar consumer goods or services was 
     readily obtainable by consumers in the trade area during the 
     30-day period immediately prior to the declaration of the 
     existence of the disaster; and
       (II) subject to clause (ii), the amount by which the amount 
     charged exceeds the average price referred to in subclause 
     (I) is not attributable to increased costs incurred by the 
     supplier in connection with the provision of the consumer 
     good or service.

       (ii) Determination of increased costs of supplier.--In 
     determining the increased costs incurred by a supplier under 
     clause (i)(II), an increase in the replacement cost to the 
     supplier of a good may not be taken into account unless the 
     supplier has no reasonable assurance of recouping the 
     increased replacement cost in a subsequent sale involving the 
     good.
       (2) Enforcement.--
       (A) Penalty.--A supplier who knowingly violates paragraph 
     (1) shall be imprisoned not more than 1 year or fined not 
     more than $10,000, or both. In addition, a court may require 
     disgorgement of any gain unlawfully acquired and restitution 
     to any injured party.
       (B) Actions by victims.--A person, Federal agency, State, 
     or local government that suffers loss or damage as a result 
     of a violation of paragraph (1) may bring an action against a 
     supplier in a district court of the United States for treble 
     damages, disgorgement, special or punitive damages, 
     reasonable attorney's fees, costs and expenses of suit, and 
     any other appropriate legal or equitable relief, including 
     injunctive relief.
       (C) Actions by state attorneys general.--An attorney 
     general of a State, or other authorized State official, may 
     bring a civil action in the name of the State, on behalf of 
     persons residing in the State, in a district court of the 
     United States that has jurisdiction over the defendant for 
     treble damages, disgorgement, special or punitive damages, 
     reasonable attorney's fees, costs and expenses of suit, and 
     any other appropriate legal or equitable relief, including 
     injunctive relief.
       (3) No preemption.--Nothing in this subsection is intended 
     to preempt State law.
       (f) Provision of Fraud Prevention Information.--The 
     Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency shall--
       (1) in consultation with the Attorney General, the 
     Administrator of the Small Business Administration, State 
     attorneys general, and other State officials with 
     responsibility for fraud prevention, develop public 
     information materials to assist victims of major disasters in 
     detecting and avoiding suppliers who attempt to obtain money 
     or other things of value from the victims in exchange for 
     fraudulent or otherwise unscrupulous offers of consumer goods 
     or services for cleanup, repair, and other recovery from the 
     effects of the disasters; and
       (2) provide for the distribution of the materials developed 
     under paragraph (1) to the victims of each major disaster as 
     soon as practicable after the declaration of the existence of 
     the disaster by the President.
       (g) Commission of Offense Following a Major Disaster To Be 
     Considered an Aggravating Factor.--The United States 
     Sentencing Commission, in the exercise of the authority of 
     the Commission under section 994 of title 28, United States 
     Code, shall review and, if necessary, amend the sentencing 
     guidelines promulgated under such section to provide that the 
     commission of an offense under section 1341, 1343, or 2314 of 
     title 18, United States Code, in connection with the 
     provision of a consumer good or service for the cleanup, 
     repair, or other recovery from the effects of a major 
     disaster shall be an aggravating factor that may result in 
     the imposition of a sentence that is twice as great as a 
     sentence that would otherwise be imposed.
 Mr. AKAKA. Mr. President, today I am submitting an amendment 
to S. 1697, the Federal Disaster Preparedness and Response Act of 1993, 
on behalf of myself, Senator Glenn and Senator Graham of Florida, to 
combat fraud against victims of Federal disasters. Our measure would 
make it a Federal crime to defraud persons through the sale of 
materials or services for cleanup, repair, and recovery following a 
federally declared disaster.
  Over the past several years, the United States and its territories 
have experienced a number of devastating natural disasters. Many of 
these hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, wildfires, and 
blizzards were declared natural disasters by the President. Through 
instant, on screen media coverage, we have had a ringside seat to the 
destruction caused by these catastrophic events.
  We have also witnessed how these disasters bring out the best in the 
American people and government at all levels. There are countless 
examples, from Red Cross volunteers passing out blankets and food, to 
citizens traveling hundreds of miles to help rebuild a stranger's home. 
Despite the outpouring of public support that follows these 
catastrophes, there are unscrupulous individuals who prey on trusting 
and unsuspecting victims. This measure would criminalize some of the 
activities undertaken by these unprincipled people whose sole intent is 
to defraud hardworking men and women.
  Every disaster has examples of individuals who are victimized twice--
first by the disaster and later by unconscionable price hikes and 
fraudulent contractors. A July 29, 1993, Wall Street Journal article 
recounted that in the wake of last summer's Midwest flooding, Iowa 
officials discovered vendors raised the price of portable toilets from 
$60 a month to $60 a day. In other flood-hit areas, carpet cleaners 
hiked their prices to $350 per hour, while telemarketers set up 
telephone banks to solicit funds for phony flood-related charities.
  Nor will television viewers forget the scenes of beleaguered south 
Floridians buying generators, plastic sheeting, and bottled water at 
outrageous prices in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew.
  Eighteen months ago, Hurricane Iniki devastated the Island of Kauai. 
One of our worst examples of abuse involves a contractor accused of 
signing contracts with numerous homeowners, taking their money, and 
then failing to complete reconstruction on their homes.
  While the Stafford Act currently provides for civil and criminal 
penalties for the misuse of disaster funds, it fails to address 
contractor fraud. To fill this gap, the Akaka-Glenn-Graham amendment 
would make it a Federal crime to fraudulently take money from a 
disaster victim and fail to provide the agreed-upon material or service 
for the cleanup, repair, and recovery.
  The Stafford Act also fails to address price gouging. Although it is 
the responsibility of the States to impose restrictions on price 
increases prior to a Federal disaster declaration, Federal penalties 
for price gouging should be imposed once a disaster has been declared. 
I am pleased to incorporate in this measure an initiative Senator Glenn 
began following Hurricane Andrew to combat price gouging and excessive 
pricing of goods and services.
  Fortunately, citizens in Hawaii were spared spiralling cost increases 
after Hurricane Iniki hit last September because the State government 
acted swiftly to counteract attempts at price gouging by instituting 
price and rent freezes. When Hawaii was threatened by another hurricane 
last August, the States once more instituted a price freeze in order to 
protect Hawaii's consumers from escalating prices.
  There already is tremendous cooperation among the various State and 
local offices that deal with fraud and consumer protection issues. 
During the Midwest flooding, officials from Florida lent their 
expertise to their counterparts in the Nation's heartland. This 
exchange of experience and practical solutions has created a strong 
support network.
  However, a Federal remedy is needed to assist States when a disaster 
occurs. There should be a broader enforcement system to help 
overburdened State and local governments during a time of disaster. The 
Federal Government is in a position to ensure that residents within a 
federally declared disaster area do not fall victim to fraud. Federal 
agencies should assist localities to provide such a support system.
  In addition to making disaster-related fraud a Federal crime, our 
bill would also require the Director of the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency to develop public information materials to advise 
disaster victims about ways to detect and avoid fraud. I have seen a 
number of antifraud material prepared by State consumer protection 
offices and believe this section would assist States to disseminate 
antifraud-related material following the declaration of a disaster by 
the President.
  Our measure would also establish antifraud strike teams to prevent 
fraud against disaster victims. Following the declaration of a major 
disaster by the President, the U.S. Attorney General would consult with 
the U.S. attorney for the district in which the disaster occurred, and 
with State and local enforcement officials, to determine if disaster 
victims are being further victimized by faudulent activities.
  I look forward to working with my colleagues in enacting this 
legislation.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to include for the Record the 
Wall Street Journal article recounting price gouging during last 
summer's Midwest floods.
  There being no objection, the article was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:

             [From the Wall Street Journal, July 29, 1993]

       Flotsam, jetsam and scam 'em? Rip-offs may rise as waters 
     recede.
       Iowa officials issue subpoenas to vendors of portable 
     toilets suspected of jacking up rates to $60 a day from $60 a 
     month. Carpet cleaners charging $350 an hour also are 
     scrutinized. Missouri investigates mobile-home haulers who 
     allegedly raised rates tenfold, while Minnesota is on the 
     lookout for telemarketers fronting for phony charities. 
     Meanwhile, many public-service ads caution against sending 
     cash.
       Midwestern state attorneys general are marshaling forces to 
     battle price gouging and scams that may pop up. State 
     consumer-protection officials met earlier this month with the 
     attorney general of Florida--which was besieged by con men 
     after Hurricane Andrew. Florida officials and an insurance-
     company investigator traveled to Des Moines to brief Iowa 
     officials on scams.
 Mr. GLENN. Mr. President, I am pleased to join with Senator 
Akaka today in introducing legislation to combat fraud and price 
gouging in the wake of Presidentially declared natural disasters.
  This amendment incorporates several provisions of a measure I 
introduced following Hurricane Andrew to make price gouging a Federal 
crime. Following that tragic event, I was dismayed by reports of 
unscrupulous profiteers preying upon the misfortunes of hurricane 
victims.
  There was a report of one supplier charging $100 for a case of 
diapers, people paying $15 for a gallon of water, or $10 for a small 
bag of ice. Some folks even came in from out of State right after the 
hurricane to get unconscionable prices for generators, plywood, plastic 
sheathing, and the like.
  Similarly, I know from Senator Akaka that, unfortunately, some 
victims of Hurricane Iniki paid money to fly-by-the-night contractors 
for home or business repairs that never materialized. Instead, they 
literally took the money and ran.
  Now, Mr. President, I think anyone would be hard pressed to defend 
those who make a quick buck off of other peoples' misery.
  This legislation will put the force of Federal law and resources 
behind the efforts of State attorneys general to combat these 
despicable activities. In addition to making fraud and price gouging 
Federal crimes after Presidentially declared disasters, it will also 
authorize the creation of antifraud task forces using the tools that 
the Department of Justice, the State attorney general, and local law 
enforcement officials can offer. Finally, the measure would require the 
Federal Emergency Management Authority [FEMA] to develop public 
information materials for distribution on how to best detect and 
prevent fraud.
  Through these efforts we will send a clear message that this sort of 
exploitive behavior will not be tolerated. We want people to know that 
their Government is committed to protecting their interests in the wake 
of a disaster, and get the message out to those who persist in this 
reprehensible conduct that they can expect significant penalties.
  So I want to congratulate my friend from Hawaii and look forward to 
working with him on this legislation.
