CONFERENCE REPORT ON H.R. 4606, DEPARTMENTS OF LABOR, HEALTH AND HUMAN 
 SERVICES, AND EDUCATION, AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 1995

  Mr. SMITH of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to the order of the House of 
Tuesday, September 20, 1994, I call up the conference report on the 
bill (H.R. 4606) making appropriations for the Departments of Labor, 
Health and Human Services, and Education, and related agencies, for the 
fiscal year ending September 30, 1995, and for other purposes.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Montgomery). Pursuant to the order of 
the House of Tuesday, September 20, 1994, the conference report is 
considered as having been read.
  (For conference report and statement, see proceedings of the House of 
Tuesday, September 20, 1994, at page H9302.)
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Iowa [Mr. Smith] will be 
recognized for 30 minutes, and the gentleman from Illinois [Mr. Porter] 
will be recognized for 30 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Iowa [Mr. Smith].

                              {time}  1030


                             general leave

  Mr. SMITH of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all 
Members may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their 
remarks on the conference report on the bill H.R. 4606, now under 
consideration.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Montgomery). Is there objection to the 
request of the gentleman from Iowa?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. SMITH of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Mr. Speaker. I rise today to present the conference report on H.R. 
4606, the fiscal year 1995 appropriations bill for the Departments of 
Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and related agencies. 
The full conference agreement, House Report 103-733, was printed in the 
Congressional Record of September 20, 1994.
  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to bring this conference report to the 
House. It is not news to anyone that budget allocations this year have 
been very tight, but I think the conferees have produced a bill that 
reflects the priorities of both the House and the Senate, as well as 
the administration as well as we could within the budget restraints. We 
were able to resolve all 157 amendments in disagreement, and in record 
time. I want to thank Mr. Porter, our ranking member, and all the other 
members of the subcommittee for their cooperation and assistance, as 
well as Senator Harkin and his subcommittee.
  The bill provides $258,580 million for the 3 Cabinet agencies and 14 
related agencies under the jurisdiction of the Labor-HHS-Education 
Subcommittee. This include $13,253 million for the Department of Labor, 
$216,715 million for Health and Human Services, and $27,428 million for 
the Department of Education. The bill is within our 602(b) ceilings for 
both budget authority and outlays. The conference report provides the 
details of the agreement, but I will note a few highlights here:
  Funding for the National Institutes of Health increases by $396 
million for a total of $11,334 million.
  The Head Start program receives a $210 million increase for a total 
of $3,535 million.
  The Job Corps appropriation of $1.099 billion provides funding for 
four new centers.
  The combined Departments of Labor and Education funding for the 
school-to-work program is $250 million--an increase of $150 million.
  Dislocated workers funding is increased by $178 million to $1,296 
million.
  The bill contains a prevention initiative that provides a $157 
million increase for a variety of disease prevention programs, 
including a $47 million increase for AIDS prevention, a $22 million 
increase for breast and cervical cancer screening, and a $17 million 
increase for chronic and environmental diseases.
  Ryan White AIDS treatment funding is increased by $54 million to $633 
million.
  The bill provides an additional $40 million over the President's 
request to reduce the backlog of pending Social Security disability 
claims.
  The agreement eliminates funding for 17 programs which the conferees 
felt were lower priority or whose activities could be absorbed by other 
programs.
  The rescission of low-income home energy assistance funding which was 
proposed by the President at $745 million and reduced by the House to 
$250 million has been further reduced to $156 million. The agreement 
also provides $1,319 million for 1996 advance funding for low-income 
home energy assistance.
  The substance abuse treatment block grant receives a $67 million 
increase for total funding of $1,234 million.
  Goals 2000 education reform activities are funded at $403 million, an 
increase of $298 million over 1994.
  Title I education for the disadvantaged funding totals $7,222 
million, which is an increase of $321 million over last year. That has 
a direct favorable impact on local property taxes in most states.
  The bill provides funding for a new activity--elementary and 
secondary school infrastructure--at a level of $100 million.
  Special education receives a $144 million increase, up to $3,253 
million.
  The TRIO programs for the disadvantaged are slated for a $44 million 
increase to $463 million.
  The bill has two new titles: one providing $35 million for emergency 
flood appropriations and one including $38 million for crime bill 
prevention activities under the jurisdiction of our subcommittee. 
Funding for crime bill activities has been transferred from the 602(b) 
allocation of the Commerce-Justice-State Appropriations Subcommittee.
  The agreement maintains House language pertaining to a 1-year delay 
in the implementation of the 85-15 rule in the student financial 
assistance area.
  I would simply conclude by saying that I believe the conference 
agreement is as good as we could produce under the circumstances, and 
should be adopted by the House. I urge Members to support it.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  (Mr. PORTER asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I commend this conference report to the 
Members, and I want to thank my Chairman, Neal Smith, for putting this 
bill together and running the most efficient conference in memory.
  This is no one's ideal bill. Because of the absolute need for deficit 
reduction, we did not have a big enough allocation to fund the programs 
we are responsible for, but in the aggregate, this bill is as good as 
it can be, given the priorities of the Members and the allocation we 
had to work with.
  Above all, the bill is fair, fair to all of the Members, and fair in 
its allocation of the pain.
  The bill contains funding for a new Impact Aid program which I 
authored and Mr. Ford, Mr. Kildee and especially Mr. Goodling was kind 
enough to have included in the education reauthorization.
  Mr. Speaker, this program provides supplemental funding for those 
heavily impacted schools that have a high tax effort, despite which 
Impact Aid falls far short of costs of educating the student, and 
therefore cannot provide an annual multimillion dollar subsidy to the 
Federal Government.
  The bill contains $40 million for this program that, in at least one 
instance, will prevent a large school district from closing its doors 
this year.
  While I had hoped that overall funding for Impact Aid could have been 
higher, I am grateful to Chairman Smith and the Senate conferees for 
including the section (f) funding in the bill.
  Mr. Speaker, regarding the NIH, I am obviously disappointed that we 
could not provide more funding.
  I appreciate the chairman's effort to provide a $380 million, 3 
percent, increase for the NIH, but I am concerned that the increase is 
less than inflation.
  At this rate, we are going to lose new researchers and miss 
unprecedented opportunities to improve our health.
  Mr. Speaker, the NIH is a national treasure.
  It does the research that develops vaccines, procedures, and drugs 
that prevent illness and treat and cure diseases.
  The human benefit from NIH-funded biomedical research is 
immeasurable.
  I believe that even within our shrinking resources necessary, of 
course, to help bring our budget into balance, this subcommittee must 
find a way to put NIH at a higher priority over the coming years, and 
Mr. Chairman, I would like to work with you over the break to determine 
how we can do that.
  Finally, I want to commend Chairman Smith. He took over the committee 
chairmanship under extremely difficult circumstances and he has worked 
to engender consensus in every aspect of this bill. Many honestly 
questioned whether anybody, even Mr. Neal, could hold the committee 
together under such difficult circumstances during a period of such 
fiscal constraint, but the chairman has done an outstanding job. He has 
surpassed even the highest expectations, and I thank him for his 
dedication to this bill.
  I thank, also, our outstanding staff, Mike Myers and John Blazey on 
our side, Mike Stevens and a supporting staff on the other side, all of 
whom do outstanding work for the Congress and for the country. Mr. 
Speaker, also included in the bill is my amendment on the Child Abuse 
Prevention and Treatment Act [CAPTA]. The provision limits the ability 
of the Department of Health and Human Services to deny funding to 
States based on their decision to respect the rights of Christian 
Science parents through spiritual healing exemptions.
  Federal law specifically allows states to accommodate Christian 
Science practitioners so long as each State retains the administrative 
and judicial authority to investigate and order treatment for children 
when in the State's judgment it is required. I am concerned that the 
Department has improperly interpreted this aspect of the law and has 
improperly withheld CAPTA funding from the States. In many of these 
instances, attorneys at the Department have actually required States to 
change their laws.
  My provision, as modified by the Senate, prohibits the Department 
from withholding funding based on a State's decision to enact a 
spiritual healing exemption. The moratorium will provide the 
authorizing committees the opportunity to fully examine this issue to 
religious liberty before they reauthorize the CAPTA law next year.
  While I am disappointed in the overall funding level for the NIH, I 
am encouraged by progress on several fronts. The conferees did not 
include a pause in the reimbursement of indirect costs as proposed by 
the administration. Rather, the Department and the NIH are encouraged 
to address this matter in cooperation with institutional funding 
recipients in a comprehensive manner prior to next year's budget 
process. In addition, critical funding was provided to continue to 
critical work of the National Center for Human Genome Research and the 
Fogarty Center. The bill also continues important funding for the 
National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research, diabetes research 
initiatives and investigation into chronic fatigue immune dysfunction 
syndrome [CFIDS].
  Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased that the conferees adopted the Bonilla 
amendment which delays implementation of the 85-15 regulation on 
student loans for 1 year. While I fully support the intent of the 
regulation and hope that it can be redrafted and implemented quickly, 
the amendment in its current form is unacceptable. By excluding from 
the definition of ``revenue'' any school's private offsite training 
that is not identical to its onsite Federal training, the regulation 
would exclude many very fine schools from participation in title IV 
programs. In addition, because the regulation would apply 
retroactively, it would not allow schools the time to diversify their 
portfolios to achieve compliance. For those reasons, I support the 
Bonilla amendment. However, I encourage the Department to redraft the 
regulation to more accurately reflect Congress's intent so that this 
important new check on loan mills may be quickly implemented.
  I am pleased that the bill rejected the President's proposal to 
consolidate and reduce funding for the health professions education 
programs. In particular, I am pleased that funding was retained for the 
Podiatric Education Program and increased for the Allied Health 
Program.
  The conference report partially restores a cut in the Medicare 
contractors payment safeguard account. I believe this funding is 
critical to limit fraud and abuse of the Medicare program which costs 
the Federal Government billions of dollars annually. The small 
investment in payment safeguards returns about $14 in recoveries and 
penalties for every $1 spent.
  I was pleased to propose increases within our budget cap for the 
protection and advocacy programs for individual rights and for 
developmental disabilities. In addition, the conference report includes 
a small increase for the Recording for the Blind, the primary producer 
of educational materials on tape for visually impaired students. This 
organization, which is funded primarily through non-Federal sources and 
relies almost exclusively on volunteer workers, provides tapes for over 
90 percent of visually impaired high school students and a substantial 
number of university students. While I had worked for a larger increase 
which would have allowed RFB to pursue new activities in electronic 
media, I am pleased that some increase is provided.
  I am also pleased that the House agreed to the Senate funding level 
for the Institute of Peace which has contributed greatly to the 
resolution of international crises worldwide and particularly in the 
Middle East.
  I am concerned about the unwillingness of many members of the 
subcommittee to engage in hard decisionmaking. Rather than spreading 
the pain of spending restraint more of less equally across most 
programs, as this bill generally does, I believe the committee must 
reassess the long term value, effectiveness and viability of every 
program in this bill. We must be willing to make the decision to 
provide real increases for those programs, like the NIH that in my 
judgment are most effective and provide greatest utility. In order to 
free up the resources to do so, we must be willing to cut or eliminate 
those programs of least value.
  For instance, while the conferees agreed to a substantial rescission 
in low income home energy assistance, it cut only a small portion of 
the $700 million rescission proposed by the President. I commend the 
conferees for having the courage to eliminate several small and 
administratively burdensome programs. However, I am concerned that the 
conference terminated far fewer than the 33 programs recommended by the 
President and actually initiates several programs newly created under 
the pending education reauthorization.
  Finally, Mr. Speaker, I want to note that I signed the conference 
report with the exception of two amendments No. 108 and No. 157. The 
first of these amendments delays obligation of $292 million in special 
education funding. I have always opposed this practice. It is simply an 
expedient which promises more funding than we are able to deliver. It 
is phony money. Worse, it will create outlay problems for us next year 
when we mark up the fiscal year 1996 bill.
  Amendment No. 157 contains the so-called crime title of the bill. 
While the programs funded under this title may be meritorious, I do not 
believe we ought to establish new programs at a time when we cannot 
adequately fund existing programs under necessary budget constraints. 
Further, because these programs were added at the last minute, they 
were never evaluated by the committee and never competed on the basis 
of merit for funding against the other important programs in the bill. 
This is a poor way to legislate, and I cannot support funding these 
programs at this time.
  In sum, this bill is an expedient. It is the best that can be done 
now to carry the Departments through the next fiscal year. I look 
forward to working with Members in both Houses and on both sides of the 
aisle to create a better bill next year.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to make it clear that this is a consensus bill, 
and I want to commend every member of the subcommittee on both the 
Republican and the Democratic side, including, of course, the ranking 
member, the gentleman from Illinois [Mr. Porter].
  Mr. Speaker, even though the amount of money was a large amount of 
money, it is very difficult to work all the programs into this bill and 
say that we have funded them adequately. We have done the best that we 
can within our 602(b) allocation, and every member of the subcommittee 
has been cooperative. This is a consensus bill without enough money to 
do all the things that we would like to do.
  Also, I want to commend the staff. They have worked very hard on 
this. We worked back and forth, not only between the minority staff and 
the majority staff, but also between the Senate staff and the House 
staff, so I commend this bill on that basis.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from Connecticut 
[Ms. DeLauro], a member of the subcommittee.
  (Ms. DeLAURO asked and was given permission to revise and extend her 
remarks.)
  Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, I say to my colleagues that each one of you 
knows best about all the human services and education needs in your own 
districts. That is why today I urge you to adopt the conference report 
on the 1995 Labor-HHS-Education appropriations bill that is now before 
us. Whether your constituents need help with financing their college 
educations, looking for work, or getting a life-sving health screening 
test, this bill contains critical assistance.
  It builds on the investments in our children, families and workers 
that we made in the appropriations bill for this year. In 1995, Head 
Start will be increased by $210 million so we can get more children off 
on the right track with better quality programs. We have targeted 
additional assistance to help our Nation's unemployed workers find new 
jobs through significantly increasing funding for job retraining, and 
for the One-Stop-Shop program. These programs will bring a new level of 
assistance to workers struggling to find new jobs so they can take care 
of their families.
  And because we must assure all of our young people have the education 
and training necessary to successfully compete for good first jobs, we 
have significantly increased funding for the School-To-Work Program and 
the summer jobs program. In addition, vital funding is included for 
college aid programs that can be the difference in allowing young 
people to earn a college degree.
  The bill also builds upon the investments we have previously made in 
making our people healthier. Critical increases above last year levels 
are included for several important disease prevention and care 
programs: $22 million for the breast and cervical cancer screening 
program; $47 million for AIDS prevention; $13 million for community 
health centers; $54 million for the Ryan White AIDS Care programs; $12 
million for family planning; $2 million for lead poisoning prevention; 
$67 million for substance abuse treatment, and $8 million to fight the 
spread of tuberculosis and sexually transmitted diseases.
  Biomedical research is another area that is key to advancing disease 
prevention and treatment. The bill provides a total of $11.33 billion 
for the National Institutes of Health. Within that total, breast cancer 
research will be increased by approximately 17 percent, and AIDS 
research is also increased and the budget consolidated in the Office of 
AIDS Research.
  And I also want to make note of the funding in the bill for the Low-
Income Home Energy Assistance Program. I am pleased that the conferees 
restored almost all of the cuts the administration had proposed in the 
LIHEAP Program. While we couldn't bring the program fully back to the 
1994 level, I want to thank my colleagues on the conference committee 
for their support in providing the highest level of funding possible 
given all the competing priorities in this bill.
  As a member of the Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations Subcommittee. I 
can tell my colleagues the choices that had to be made in order to live 
within our discretionary budget allocation were extremely tough. So I 
want to thank our chairman, Mr. Smith, for his leadership under these 
difficult circumstances in developing a final product which, while not 
perfect, indeed responds to many of the most pressing health and 
education needs of our families and workers.
  And I want to commend our ranking member, Mr. Porter, and all of my 
subcommittee colleagues Mr. Obey, Mr. Stokes, Mr. Hoyer, Ms. Pelosi, 
Mrs. Lowey, Mr. Serrano, Mr. Young, Mrs. Bentley, and Mr. Bonilla for 
their hard work and consideration as we worked together on the bill. 
Finally, I want to thank the subcommittee staff and the Members' staff 
for all of their hard work throughout the year.
  Mr. Speaker, again, I urge my colleagues to support this conference 
report. There is no question that many many programs funded in this 
bill deserve an even greater level of resources, however, given the 
tough discretionary spending limit we faced, the conferees did the best 
that could be done under these circumstances.

                              {time}  1040

  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 7 minutes to the gentleman from 
Texas [Mr. Bonilla], a very able and active member of our subcommittee.
  (Mr. BONILLA asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. BONILLA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to join the distinguished gentleman 
from Iowa to walk down the center of the aisle today in support of the 
people's bill because this bill affects and protects almost every 
American. In the words of our late Chairman Natcher, ``This is a good 
bill.''
  I am pleased to report that we adequately funded the most important 
programs and tough decisions were made. This conference report has no 
earmarks and is $6.6 billion less than last year's bill.
  I want to commend Chairman Smith, and my ranking member, Mr. Porter, 
and their hard working staffers for their dedication in crafting this 
conference report. I might add that this conference report is on the 
House floor 15 days earlier than it was last year which is due in large 
part to Chairman Smith's leadership. Our conference committee was able 
to resolve 157 amendments in disagreement quickly.
  I want to highlight a few vital rural programs for my rural 
colleagues. I think this conference report continues the good faith 
effort to provide access to health care in our rural communities. 
Overall spending has been increased by 3 percent on programs that 
greatly effect rural health care. There is positive health care reform 
in this report.
  Community and migrant health care funding has been increased 3 
percent to provide comprehensive primary health care in our rural 
communities. Last year these centers serviced over 7 million Americans.
  The area health education centers [AHEC] have been increased 10 
percent while the border health centers funding has been increased by 
24.5 percent. The AHEC Program links University Health Service Centers 
with community health service delivery systems to provide training 
sites for students, faculty and practitioners.
  The Border Health Education Centers fund schools to support health 
education and training centers to improve the supply, distribution and 
quality of health personnel along the border between the United States 
and Mexico.
  Rural Americans will continue to benefit from funding of seven 
nursing programs. These nursing programs will continue to increase the 
number of nurses and encourage more men and women to enter the field of 
nursing.
  The allied health grants were increased 12 percent to address the 
growing shortage of allied health personnel in both rural and urban 
areas. The Physicians Assistants Program which delivers health care and 
emergency services in rural areas is funded.
  The Family Medicine Residencies Program has been funded to provide 
grants to medical schools to teach family medicine programs that are 
greatly needed to field the demand for doctors in rural America.
  Rural health research and rural outreach grants have been increased 
to coordinate public and private sector efforts nationwide to 
strengthen and improve the delivery of health services to populations 
in rural areas, they provide health services to rural populations not 
currently receiving them and enhance access to and utilization of 
existing services.
  Turning to funding for the National Institute of Health, every member 
on the subcommittee is a supporter of basic research and each one of us 
recognizes the pivotal role that Government support can play in 
achieving medical breakthroughs.
  However, this is the first year that we were unable to provide NIH 
with an increase that offsets inflation. All of the subcommittee 
members are troubled over this. If we are to continue as the world 
leader in technological advancement, America must continue to support 
biomedical research. I believe expenditures for research represent a 
sound investment.
  Also included in the bill is section 510 which delays for 1 year the 
planned termination of Federal education assistance under the 85-15 
rule. Some 364 of my colleagues voted to keep the 1-year delay of the 
85-15 rule and we were successful in keeping it in the conference 
report.
  I want to thank all the members who signed various letters in support 
of the delay. I would like to especially thank chairmen Ford and 
Kildee, ranking Republican members Goodling and Petri for their 
leadership and assistance on this issue along with the 70 percent of 
the authorizing members who signed letters of support.
  The bill also contains funding for the research, prevention and 
education on diabetes. Diabetes is a tremendous public health problem 
in this country. More than 14 million Americans have the disease and 
nearly 650,000 new cases will be diagnosed this year.
  Of particular concern to me is the disproportionate impact diabetes 
has on racial and ethnic minority populations, particularly Hispanics. 
More than 1 million Hispanics, nearly 1 in 10 adults, have diabetes.
  These individuals are at substantial risk for developing one or more 
of the disease's debilitating complications: kidney disease; leg, foot, 
and toe amputations; blindness; heart disease, and stroke.
  This bill responds to this need by increasing the funding for the 
National Institute for Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Disease and the 
National Eye Institute by a little more than 3 percent.
  The Center for Disease Control's Diabetes Translation Program will be 
increased by 9 percent to continue to expand the program to more than 
40 States.
  Mr. Speaker, my colleagues should also be aware that both the House 
and the Senate reports contain language instructing the wage and hour 
division at the Department of Labor to reexamine hazardous occupation 
order number 12 as it applies to the use of cardboard baler and 
compactor machines. A report is due in 90 days concerning what changes 
should be made to this outdated order that is penalizing teenagers who 
work in grocery stores.
  At a time when 1.3 million teenagers are unemployed, it seems 
counterproductive to have regulatory policies that discourage their 
hiring.
  Finally, Mr. Speaker, I want to talk about one of the most important 
issues concerning Hispanics. For the first time in the higher education 
budget Hispanic serving institutions have their own individual line 
item. The HSI program will help provide access to over 450,000 Hispanic 
students nationwide to a good, quality education. A good education is 
America's great equalizer. Equal access to education is the means to 
bring the American dream to all Americans.
  Projections show an increase in the number of Hispanics going to 
college over the next few years. These students often do not follow the 
``traditional'' college track--entering college full-time the fall 
after high school--many do not complete their studies and earn a 
degree.
  Many Hispanics enter the work force before college or are forced to 
drop out because of financial or other problems.
  HSI's place more focus on the unique needs of Hispanics and offer 
educational opportunities for Hispanics who otherwise might not go to 
college.
  I believe this conference report would make Chairman Natcher proud. 
We are taking care of the health of our people and we are educating our 
children, and we will continue to live in the strongest country in the 
world.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to adopt the conference report.
  Mr. SMITH of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume for the purpose of engaging in a colloquy with the gentleman 
from Maryland [Mr. Mfume].
  Mr. MFUME. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. SMITH of Iowa. I yield to the gentleman from Maryland.
  Mr. MFUME. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my understanding that at no point in the 
conference report is there language that in any way limits the number 
of Social Security Administration employees who may receive bonuses in 
fiscal year 1995.
  Mr. SMITH of Iowa. That is correct.
  Mr. MFUME. Mr. Speaker, it is my further understanding that while 
there have been unfortunate incidents in the past involving unwarranted 
and extravagent bonuses for a few select senior employees, it is the 
expectation of this Congress that safeguards have been or will be 
established to prevent such abuses from occurring in the future. 
Furthermore, as I understand it, it is not the intention of the 
conference committee or this report to discourage the Social Security 
Administration from rewarding lower-level employees with small bonuses, 
many for a job well done, of whom have been faced with a workload that 
has increased by as much as 70 percent over the last decade.
  Mr. SMITH of Iowa. That is correct.
  Mr. MFUME. Last, Mr. Chairman, I would like to clarify for the record 
that these bonuses come from the general Social Security Administration 
salary fund, and therefore will not result in any decrease in funding 
for Social Security recipients.
  Mr. SMITH of Iowa. That is correct.

                              {time}  1050

  Mr. SMITH of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman 
from California [Ms. Pelosi], a valuable member of the subcommittee.
  (Ms. PELOSI asked and was given permission to revise and extend her 
remarks.)
  Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, let me begin by expressing my thanks and 
admiration for our chairman, the gentleman from Iowa, Mr. Neal Smith. 
He has taken up where Mr. Natcher left off and has worked with the 
members of the subcommittee to shape a bill that responds to the many 
challenges that face our country.
  He has done so with the cooperation and guidance of our distinguished 
ranking Republican, the gentleman from Illinois [Mr. Porter]. Together 
they have provided the leadership that makes our subcommittee proud. 
The gentleman from Iowa [Mr. Smith] has brought his own brand of 
leadership to our subcommittee and has taken into consideration the 
many concerns of this Congress, our country and the subcommittee 
members and exacted some compromises from all of us, and that is what 
leadership is all about.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the conference report on the Labor, 
Health and Human Services, and Education appropriations bill for fiscal 
year 1995.
  Let me begin by expressing my thanks and admiration for our chairman, 
Mr. Smith of Iowa. he has taken up where Mr. Natcher left off and has 
worked wth the members of the subcommittee to shape a bill that 
responds to the many challenges that face our country. He has done so 
with the cooperation and guidance of our distinguished ranking 
Republican, Mr. Porter of Illinois. Together they have provided the 
leadership that makes our subcommittee proud.
  Mr. Speaker, this bill has been developed within the budget 
discipline required by the revised Budget Enforcement Act. 
Discretionary spending for fiscal year 1995 will actually be less than 
for this fiscal year--the first reduction in discretionary spending 
since 1969. While budget discipline is necessary, it is particularly 
painful when it comes to this bill. Virtually every program in this 
subcommittee's jurisdiction is deserving of higher levels of funding. 
As I frquently tell our chairman, there are no bad programs in our 
bill. That makes deliberations over relative priorities very difficult 
work.
  I particularly commend Chairman Smith for his leadership in shaping 
the public health prevention initiative in this legislation. For our 
extensive hearings, it became clear that before doing anything else, 
the committee had to rebuild basic public health prevention programs. 
Thus, the bill contains $157 million in new funding for a package of 14 
programs at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] and 
the Health Resources and Services Administration [HRSA].
  The bill contains increased funding for the CDC to fund unmet needs 
identified by the nearly 300 community-level planning groups across the 
country implementing HIV prevention reform. These HIV prevention 
reforms, along with the new strategic planning authority and other 
reforms at the Office of AIDS Research at the National Institutes of 
Health, bring new hope to our Federal AIDS response.
  This bill also contains funding which responds to many challenges 
regarding women's health. Funding for breast cancer research is 
increased by 17 percent at the National Cancer Institute. Funding for 
breast and cervical cancer screening at the CDC is increased by 22 
percent triggering important provisions in the authorizing legislation 
allowing more comprehensive preventive health evaluations for low-
income women. Funding for control of sexually transmitted diseases is 
increased to allow for chlamydia and other diseases of concern to 
women.
  The bill also provides for significant increases for the President's 
investment including the National Institutes of Health, Head Start, 
drug treatment, and an initiative to respond to the backlog in 
disability claims at the Social Security Administration.
  The Department of Labor has received well-deserved new resources to 
respond to the needs of dislocated workers and disadvantaged youth. The 
bill continues our commitment to expand on the Jobs Corps and funding 
to continue our commitment to the Summer Youth Employment and Training 
Program.
  The Department of Education has received funds to implement Goals 
2000, School-to-Work, and to expand on educational technology. The bill 
maintains our commitment to financial assistance for low- and middle-
income students to attend college and expands on access to higher 
education for minority students.
  Again, I commend our chairman and the ranking member and our 
wonderful staff for their leadership, and urge our colleagues to 
support this conference report.
  Mr. SMITH for Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman 
from New York [Mrs. Lowey].
  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the conference 
report on H.R. 4606, a bill to make appropriations for the Departments 
of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and related 
agencies for fiscal year 1995.
  I want to begin by commending the leadership of the subcommittee 
chairman, Congressman Neal Smith. I congratulate Chairman Smith for 
leading the way in meeting the difficult challenges we faced in 
developing the fiscal year 1995 bill--and for working with the Senate 
to craft a compromise bill that reflects our priorities as well as the 
budget constraints. I also commend the full committee chairman, 
Congressman Obey, for his leadership throughout the entire 
appropriations process. And of course we cannot do this without our 
entire staff led by Mike Stephens. You have been superb and a pleasure 
to work with.
  The conference report on H.R. 4606 responds to the challenge facing 
the Federal Government. The bill cuts funding in low-priority areas and 
invests in high-priority, proven programs. The bill represents another 
step toward reducing the Federal deficit, and, at the same time, 
directs our budget priorities toward investments in families and 
children--the foundation of this Nation's productivity and social 
fabric.
  The $252.9 billion provided by this bill represents a cut of $6.6 
billion below the fiscal year 1994 bill. In addition, the conference 
report provides more than $1.5 billion less than the amount requested 
by the President and eliminates 17 Federal programs. This is a tough 
bill, containing cuts which many will find difficult to accept. In 
fact, there are many worthy programs for which funds have been cut. But 
as we all know, the Federal Government must adjust to these tight 
fiscal times. We must focus our limited resources where they are needed 
most--in programs that address crime, economic competitiveness, public 
health, education, and the breakdown of our families and communities.

  The investments contained in the conference report on H.R. 4606 are 
essential. They will expand economic opportunities for dislocated 
workers; invest in programs to improve schools across the country; 
provide greater support for preventive health and biomedical research, 
including a significant increase in funding for breast cancer research; 
help the fight against public health threats; and expand effective 
programs like Head Start and Job Corps; and support programs to reduce 
fraud and abuse in Government loan programs.
  Mr. Speaker, the American people rightfully continue to demand 
performance and accountability from government. Congress must 
demonstrate its commitment to the American people by making sound, 
thoughtful decisions about national investments. The conference report 
on H.R. 4606 is a forward-looking and responsible bill. I urge my 
colleagues to support this bill.
  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the 
gentlewoman from Maryland [Mrs. Bentley], a very able and hardworking 
member of our subcommittee who we are going to miss a great deal on 
both the subcommittee and in the Congress.
  Mrs. BENTLEY. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Illinois [Mr. 
Porter] for yielding me the time.
  Mr. Speaker, the conference report we have before us today is the 
product of long hours of work by my two friends, the chairman, Mr. 
Smith, and the ranking member, Mr. Porter. Both of them, and their 
staffs, have worked countless hours on this bill, and deserve much 
credit for the fact that we are here on the House floor a full week 
before the end of the fiscal year.
  In the interests of time I will mention only a few key programs which 
I believe are very important, and am very pleased to see funded. The 
first is the Healthy Start Program. This program was launched several 
years ago in an effort to reduce infant mortality--targeting several 
high risk areas around the Nation.
  Baltimore was one such area, and already we have seen success in 
reducing the number of low-birthweight babies--one of the leading 
causes of infant mortality.
  Interestingly, last night the daily print press today and NBC News 
ran stories about a just-released study that showed a significant 
percent of premature babies suffer severe long-term effects including 
sight impairments and very low IQ's. Programs such as Healthy Start 
attempt to keep both mothers and babies healthy, in order to prevent 
problems from arising in the first place. Thus I was very pleased that 
the funding was increased from nearly $100 million in fiscal year 1994 
to $110 million in this bill.
  And second, I am pleased that several small programs which help 
families in need and the frail elderly also were increased. Sometimes 
it is the little programs which couple matching State or private 
dollars with unique local initiative that often yield the best results.
  Mr. Speaker, for the past 2 years I have had the honor of serving on 
this distinguished subcommittee, both with the incomparable Chairman 
Natcher, and now with my friend Neal Smith. Both chairmen have served 
this House with distinction, and I will be able to say with true pride 
that I participated in a small way in their efforts.
  Also I again want to commend our ranking member, John Porter, his 
staff, and the overall subcommittee staff headed by Mike Steven and the 
full committee chairman, David Obey.
  Mr. SMITH of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman 
from New York [Mr. Serrano].
  Mr. SERRANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the conference 
agreement on H.R. 4606, making appropriations for the Departments of 
Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, as well as several 
related agencies.
  First, I would like to congratulate our chairman, the gentleman from 
Iowa [Mr. Smith], for the job he has done in bringing this very large, 
complicated, and important bill through conference and to the floor 
today. Suddenly thrust into the chairmanship by the illness and death 
of our revered former Chairman, Bill Natcher, Neal Smith did an 
extraordinary job of mastering the details of this legislation and 
producing as fair a bill as anyone could expect, given the tight budget 
caps we are working with.
  I would also like to thank our ranking minority member, the gentleman 
from Illinois [Mr. Porter] and the other members of the subcommittee 
for their support and cooperation throughout the process of bringing 
this bill to the floor.
  And I salute the very professional staff of the subcommittee for all 
the long hours and hard work they put into this legislation.
  Mr. Speaker, this is one of the most important bills Congress 
considers each year. It is the key to the Nation's well-being: It funds 
health, education, social, and employment services that touch every 
person in the United States and provide the means for all of us to live 
healthier and more productive lives.
  Of course, Mr. Smith has given an excellent summary of the major 
provisions of the conference agreement; I would like to mention just a 
few items.
  The bill increases the Nation's investment in our children, with 
increases in funding for Head Start, Healthy Start, and childhood 
immunizations.
  The bill provides increases for disease prevention and health care 
programs that will go a long way to saving lives.
  The bill continues and expands efforts to improve the health status 
of minorities in the programs funded in the bill--to ensure that we 
know more about variations in health and to assure appropriate access 
to necessary services.
  The bill increases funds for key employment and training programs and 
continues the expansion of Job Corps.
  The only shortcoming in this bill is that available resources do not 
permit us to do all we should do to meet the Nation's needs, but under 
Mr. Smith's leadership, it does the very best that we can do.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge every Member to support this conference 
agreement.

                              {time}  1100

  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to our very distinguished 
colleague, the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Goodling], the ranking 
member on the Subcommittee on Education and Labor.
  (Mr. GOODLING asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. GOODLING. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank both the chairman, the 
gentleman from Iowa [Mr. Smith], and the ranking member, the gentleman 
from Illinois [Mr. Porter], and all of the conferees. They deserve a 
great deal of credit for bringing this conference report before us 
under the tight constraints of the budget caps.
  I would like to comment on some specific areas of the conference that 
touch upon programs authorized by the Committee on Education and Labor, 
of which I am the ranking member.
  I am extremely pleased by the generous increase provided to the Even 
Start Family Literacy Program, and I want to repeat: Family Literacy 
Program. Even Start has proved to be a very successful family literacy 
program which not only raises the educational level of parents and 
helps children become ready for school but provides the parents with 
the parent training necessary to allow them to truly be the first and 
most important teacher that the child will ever have. It is unfortunate 
that it took us this long, the last 5 years, to get to the point where 
we understand that family literacy is the issue, and you must deal with 
the entire family or you can never break the cycle. Had we thought of 
this 30 years ago when Head Start was implemented, the Head Start 
expenditures of over $17 billion would have been much better spent. 
Fortunately we have changed that program now also to deal with the 
whole idea of family literacy and parenting.
  I am pleased the conferees provided $347 million for the Chapter 2 
Program. I wish we could have had more, because it is the only flexible 
program where local school districts can use their innovative and 
creative ideas to bring about education reform. Unfortunately the 
administration, my committee, both on the House and Senate side, have 
decided that it is very important to pump all sorts of dollars into 
upgrading teacher training, not teacher training, but that could be 
upgraded, and it would help, but to give more training to teachers on 
the job. The problem is you can train and retrain and train again, but 
if when they come back they have no money, no flexible dollars to put 
into place the new ideas, the new curricula, the new materials and 
equipment that are available, then, of course, all of this training 
goes for naught.
  I am also very concerned about who retrains the people that have 
already been trained. I am afraid it is the same people who trained 
them in the first place.
  I want to commend the conferees for including the House language on 
the 85-15 rule. The conference report's delay in the effective date of 
this regulation will allow institutions sufficient time to comply with 
its intent.
  I am very pleased that the conferees were able to increase funding 
for IDEA. We must all understand that it was an unfunded mandate that 
came from the Federal Government, the most expensive education that 
local districts and States must provide. We promised them 40 percent of 
the money, and we have never sent them more than 10 percent, and so I 
am pleased that the conferees were able to increase that funding. I 
hope we will keep this in mind each year when we think about the 
mandate that we sent out there and the lack of money that we sent with 
it.
  While I would have kept the funding at current levels, I do respect 
the conferees' more reasonable tradeoff between Head Start and LIHEAP.
  In the area of job training, I commend the conferees for recognizing 
as priorities programs for dislocated workers, school-to-work 
transition, and funding for the one-stop delivery of job training 
services. I do, however, encourage the Committee on Appropriations to 
work with those of us on the authorizing committee in the coming year 
to develop a true system of work force preparation in this Nation that 
is both efficient and effective. We must bring the 150 programs that 
GAO says probably under one roof would be the best idea rather than a 
dozen downtown, perhaps under one committee would also help, but above 
all, we must deal with what I introduced, the Careers Act, which would 
consolidate at least 89 of these 150 programs.

  I am opposed to a provision which was included by both the House and 
the Senate which prohibits the Department of Labor from implementing or 
administering the Davis-Bacon helper regulation. Helper regulations 
authorize the use of semi-skilled workers working under the direct 
supervision of higher-skilled journey-level workers to be employed on 
Federal construction projects. I think all the training we can give 
these people is very, very important, and since we put out an awful lot 
of the contracts, it would be, I think, very appropriate to have them 
on contracts that are Federal construction projects.
  I noticed that OSHA's budget for enforcement activities would 
increase by $10 million, which is 5 percent. Complaince would only 
increase by 2 percent. I hope we can emphasize cooperation among 
employers rather than a heavy hand in relationship to enforcement.
  I appreciate the generosity of the Speaker.
  Mr. SMITH of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman 
from Ohio [Mr. Stokes], who not only is chairman of a subcommittee and 
had a full plate there, but participated in a great extent with us in 
developing this bill.
  Mr. STOKES. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 4606, the fiscal 
year 1995 appropriations bill for the Departments of Labor, Health and 
Human Services, and Education. Under the direction of our chairman, the 
distinguished member from Iowa, Mr. Neal Smith, we crafted a bill which 
recognizes the competing quality of life needs of all Americans. Our 
chairman is to be commended for his steadfast leadership in bringing 
H.R. 4696 to the floor.
  I also want to recognize the gentleman from Illinois [Mr. John 
Porter] the ranking minority of our subcommittee. He contributed 
significantly to the crafting of H.R. 4606.
  Drafted against the backdrop of the rigid fiscal parameters of the 
budget resolution, H.R. 4606 provides a balanced approach to supporting 
competing, high priority quality of life programs. The $258.6 billion 
appropriations for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, 
Education, and related agencies is $1.6 billion less than the 
President's budget request for discretionary programs and $2.9 billion 
over the 1994 funding level for discretionary programs. The $258.6 
billion appropriation includes $13.3 billion for Labor, $216.7 billion 
for Health and Human Services, $27.4 billion for Education, and $1.2 
billion for related agencies.
  While maintaining overall program allocations within the confines of 
the subcommittee's 602(b) ceiling, significant increases were provided 
for a number of programs including Job Corps, Head Start, low-income 
home energy assistance, biomedical research, AIDS prevention, breast 
cancer screening, healthy start, magnet schools, and student aid. I am 
proud to have been able to assist in securing increased funding for 
these quality of life programs.
  The bill includes $2.1 billion to expand and strengthen disease 
prevention and control activities at the Centers for Disease Control. 
This account includes $590.2 million for AIDS prevention, $100 million 
for breast cancer screening, $139.9 million for chronic and 
environmental disease prevention, $45 million for injury control, and 
$36.4 million for lead poisoning prevention. The resources provided 
within the account will also allow the Centers for Disease Control to 
strengthen and enhance the participation of community-based 
organizations in its outreach and education activities.
  To ensure continued improvements in the diagnosis, treatment, and 
prevention of disease, the bill includes an $11.3 billion appropriation 
for the National Institutes of Health. These resources will permit the 
National Institutes of Health to exploit opportunities that would 
further advances in the early detection, treatment, and prevention of 
cancer, heart disease, stroke, AIDS, sickle cell disease, infant 
mortality, diabetes, asthma, and many other diseases, disorders, and 
disabilities.
  Conference report language has been included to address the need for 
additional research on asthma. The report language calls for the 
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to provide a 
detailed progress report on its national cooperative inner city asthma 
study and its plans to address asthma in high-risk populations prior to 
the fiscal year 1996 appropriations hearings.
  Mr. Speaker, I am especially proud of the investment amendments that 
I authored. For example, within the Department of Health and Human 
Services account, funding investments are provided to expand 
opportunities for minorities in the health professions; to ensure and 
improve the delivery of health care services; to ensure increased 
participation of minorities in the conduct of biomedical research and 
research training; and to expand opportunities for increasing 
participation in higher education.
  More specifically, the bill includes $26.7 million for health 
professions careers opportunities, $18.3 million for scholarships for 
disadvantaged students, $11.1 million for exceptional financial needs 
scholarships, and $9.5 million for public housing health service 
grants.
  Conference report language has been included to ensure disadvantaged 
students a choice of health profession careers. The language states 
that all health professions disciplines are to be made eligible to 
participate in the Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students Programs. 
With respect to nursing, the conference report includes language 
encouraging the Health Resources and Services Administration to take 
the steps necessary to increase the representation of African-Americans 
in the various nursing professions including full-time nursing faculty 
and advanced nurse practitioners.
  Within the Department of Education account, the bill includes $111.5 
million for magnet schools, $109 million for strengthening historically 
black colleges and universities, $19.6 million for graduate programs, 
$3.7 million for faculty development, and $206.5 million for Howard 
University.
  Mr. Speaker, I again commend our chairman, Mr. Neal Smith, for 
displaying remarkable skill in balancing the many high priority, and 
competing interests contained in H.R. 4606. I am proud to ask my 
colleagues to join me in support of H.R. 4606, the bill establishing 
the fiscal year 1995 appropriations for the Departments of Labor, 
Health and Human Services, and Education.

                              {time}  1110

  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Wisconsin [Mr. Gunderson].
  (Mr. GUNDERSON asked and was given permission to revise and extend 
his remarks.)
  Mr. GUNDERSON. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding to me.
  Let me join the gentleman and many of my colleagues in saying thank 
you, and high praises to both the new chairman of the subcommittee, the 
gentleman from Iowa [Mr. Smith], and the ranking member, the gentleman 
from Illinois [Mr. Porter], and their staffs, whose cooperation on so 
many of these issues with those of us who have high interest in the 
educational elements and the training elements in this bill.
  I wanted to bring to the attention of my colleagues a provision in 
this bill funding, for the first time ever, the 21st Century Community 
Learning Centers. This is a provision I worked very closely with 
Senator Jeffords on in the other body because it is the beginning of 
our attempt in this country to assist local community schools in 
designing the infrastructure and delivery systems for responding to the 
high-tech interactive life-long learning that every community in this 
country is going to need.
  I am very proud to have been a sponsor of the authorizing bill, which 
is in conference as we speak, and I am proud to be a part of the 
successful effort to fund this for FY '95. This is a very good bill. It 
is a very pro-children bill, pro-education bill for investment in our 
future under very difficult circumstances. These gentlemen deserve our 
thanks and appreciation.
  Mr. SMITH of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to another chairman 
of the subcommittee, the gentleman from Maryland [Mr. Hoyer], who 
helped us a great deal through this in spite of the fact that he had a 
big job to handle the chairmanship of another subcommittee.
  Mr. HOYER. I thank my chairman for yielding. Those of us who have 
served on this subcommittee for a long period of time, as I have since 
January 1983, have served with the gentleman from Iowa [Mr. Smith] who 
has now become the chairman of the subcommittee following a historic 
predecessor William Natcher of Kentucky.
  Neal Smith is a quiet but effective leader of this House. He is an 
extraordinarily effective leader of the Labor, Health and Human 
Services Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations. It is because 
of Neal Smith's leadership, I think, that the American public sees the 
unity of purpose reflected by the debate on this floor. It is because 
of his vision for the children of this country, the seniors of this 
country, and the workers of this country, that we see the kind of 
bipartisan, overwhelming support for this legislation.
  I want to congratulate our new chairman, Neal Smith, who brings this 
bill to the floor for the first time after going through a full cycle.
  Mr. Speaker, as a member of the subcommittee, I know how difficult it 
was to meet the many needs of the programs funded through this bill. As 
we all know, the budget pressure was immense. In fact, as the American 
public undoubtedly knows, because we are fighting strenuously and 
successfully to bring down the budget deficit, we have constrained 
discretionary spending very sharply. And the Appropriations Committee 
will report less spending of discretionary dollars this year overall 
than we did last year. This is the first time that has happened since I 
have been in the Congress.
  However, notwithstanding that pressure, we were able to give 
important programs like Head Start, Title I, Goals 2000 and Job Corps 
significant increases in revenue but only a fraction of what we need to 
invest to make this country even greater.
  In addition, not only substantively was the leadership of Neal Smith 
and the ranking member, the gentleman from Illinois [Mr. Porter], 
critically important in reaching this objective but also procedurally, 
all the members of the subcommittee on both sides of the aisle were 
included in discussions about the priorities. Making this the shortest 
conference on this bill that I have been involved in. Again because of 
the leadership of the gentleman from Iowa, who worked with his 
counterpart in the other body, Senator Harkin, in bringing consensus to 
a difficult bill.
  We come to the floor today with a conference report which will touch 
so many in our country--from the young to the old, the educated to the 
less educated, the sick to the healthy and the employed to the 
unemployed.
  Programs in this bill, programs such as Head Start--to provide a 
strong educational foundation to our young people; community service 
employment to older Americans--to engage our older members of society 
in worthwhile contributions to our communities; Job Corps funding to 
provide training and skill-building expertise to adolescents; advanced 
nursing education and health professionals research funds to assure a 
strong and educated health care work force; funding for continued 
research on breast cancer, AIDS, mental health disorders, and drug 
abuse.
  This conference report represents the heart and soul of the 
appropriations process. This bill, as Mr. Natcher called it, was the 
peoples bill; the needs of the people for good health, quality 
education, reliable work are addressed in this bill.
  In closing, Mr. Speaker, I would like to commend the subcommittee 
staff for their fine work. They do extraordinarily conscientious work 
on behalf of this subcommittee, and it shows in the product. Mike 
Stephens, Sue Quantius, Bob Knisely, Mark Mioduski, Joanne Orndorff, 
and Meg Holland have all been a pleasure to work with and they have 
been effective.
  Mr. Speaker, as our former chairman used to say, if you take care of 
the education of our children and the health of our people, you will 
continue to live in the strongest country on the face of the Earth. Mr. 
Speaker, Bill Natcher, if he were here today, would say this is a good 
bill, he would tell us that frankly, and he would then say that Neal 
Smith and John Porter have followed in the footsteps of Bill Natcher 
and Sil Conte in a manner to make them proud.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to fully support the product of our 
committee.
  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I have no further requests for time on our 
side, and I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as he may consume 
to the gentleman from Massachusetts [Mr. Kennedy] for purpose of a 
colloquy.
  Mr. KENNEDY. I thank the gentleman for yielding this time to me.
  Mr. Speaker, first of all, I want to commend Chairman Neal Smith for 
the tremendous job that he, along with the gentleman from Illinois, Mr. 
Porter, have done on this important bill, which provides us with the 
funds that are necessary to do the research on many of the illnesses 
and diseases that are the causes of so much turmoil in our country.
  I want to commend the gentleman from Iowa [Mr. Smith] for the broad 
leadership he has shown in the Congress over the course of his many 
years of service here and say what a pleasure it is to work with him on 
a number of issues that he and I have an interest in.
  I particularly want to commend the gentleman, members of his 
subcommittee, and his staff for their efforts to have the 1995 Labor-
HHS Appropriations Act deal effectively with the additional resources 
needed to determine the cause and finding ways to reduce and eliminate 
the problems relating to diabetes. This is an issue that is the leading 
cause of blindness and the third leading cause of death among the 
American people. We need to delve into the causes of the disease, which 
I believe sooner rather than later we must find a cure for. The 
resources that Chairman Smith has decided to put into this area will 
hopefully further research to eliminate the death, disability, and 
human suffering associated with diabetes.
  But I just want to say that we appreciate the chairman's efforts. I 
want to make certain that his feelings were as mine were, that the 
money will go, in fact, for the research into blindness as well as for 
the causes of death relating to diabetes.
  Mr. SMITH of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. KENNEDY. I yield to the chairman.
  Mr. SMITH of Iowa. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, I would say to the gentleman that diabetes is a very 
high priority of this subcommittee. It is a killer of an awful lot of 
people. In addition to that, it causes long illnesses and great 
disability.
  It is a very high priority for this subcommittee, and I thank the 
gentleman for his interest.

                              {time}  1120

  Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. Speaker, I thank the subcommittee chairman very 
much, and I look forward to working with him in the years ahead.
  Mr. FRANKS of Connecticut. Mr. Speaker, earlier this year the House 
passed a bill reauthorizing the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance 
Program, commonly referred to as LIHEAP. Back then I stated that this 
program has been effective in helping poor people, especially children 
and the elderly, to get through the cold winters experienced in much of 
the country. Washington may stay warm far into the fall, but on this 
last day of summer Connecticut is already feeling the crisp, cool 
mornings signifying that autumn is here and winter is not far behind.
  It is unfortunate that President Clinton did not have some reminder 
of winter the day he decided to present a budget cutting LIHEAP by 50 
percent. Last winter, LIHEAP provided winter heating assistance to over 
75,000 Connecticut families. About 40 percent of these recipients were 
elderly or disabled, and another 55 percent of the recipients were 
families with children. With the severe cut that President Clinton 
proposed, many of the Connecticut recipients of LIHEAP aid would 
probably have to go without heat during some of this coming winter. 
Without heat, these individuals could fall victim to illness, 
hypothermia, or even death. At the very least, cold children would be 
less able to learn in school or do their homework.
  Fortunately, the final version of the Labor-HHS-Education 
appropriations bill that we are considering today does not cut LIHEAP 
the way President Clinton wants it. This bill provides over $1.3 
billion for LIHEAP this winter and an advance amount of $1.3 billion 
for the following winter. This is only slightly less than the amount of 
money for LIHEAP that was provided last year, and $94 million more than 
what the House passed earlier this year.
  I must add that LIHEAP, while important to my State, is only a small 
part of the programs funded in this bill. This bill funds the training 
and employment programs meant to help dislocated workers find new jobs. 
The bill funds the programs of the Department of Education, the 
Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and programs for children and 
family service programs. It also funds Medicare and Social Security.
  Finally, this bill effectively delays for 1 year a requirement that 
schools of higher education must obtain at least 15 percent of their 
revenue from nonstudent aid sources in order to receive Federal 
financial aid. This rule is ultimately designed to reduce student loan 
fraud. Because some schools are educating a large number of students 
from low-income families, not all legitimate schools will be able to 
reach that 15-percent goal this year. The House overwhelmingly voted 
earlier this year to delay until July 1, 1995, the implementation of 
this rule, and this decision is included in the final version of this 
bill. While Congress should work to reduce fraud, we must not create 
obstacles for low-income students to gain the education needed to be 
productive members of society.
  Mr. FAWELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the conference report 
on H.R. 4606, the Labor-HHS-Education appropriations bill for fiscal 
year 1995. I would like to comment on two specific provisions. I am 
pleased to note that the conferees accepted the Senate language 
regarding the Federal Employee's Compensation Act [FECA]. This language 
is virtually identical to my bill, H.R. 3491, the FECA Fraud Deterrence 
Act. This will provide the Department of Labor with the authority to 
eliminate benefits to individuals who have been convicted of defrauding 
the FECA Program and will save the Federal Government millions of 
dollars.
  FECA is a workers' compensation law applicable to more than 3 million 
civilian employees of the Federal Government. The program pays 
compensation directly to injured employees, provides for the payment of 
medical expenses, and pays benefits to dependents of covered workers in 
cases involving a work-related death.
  In the past, the criminal and administrative sanctions applicable to 
persons committing fraud against the FECA Program were very limited. In 
some cases, the Department of Labor lacked the statutory authority to 
terminate benefits--even when an individual was convicted of defrauding 
the program. A temporary legislative fix in the fiscal year 1994 Labor-
HHS-Education appropriations bill enabled the Department of Labor to 
pursue a number of cases involving fraudulent claims, which would have 
cost the taxpayers approximately $4 million over the lifetime of the 
claims. The language in H.R. 4606 will enhance the deterrent value of 
the Federal Employee's Compensation Act, enable the Government to 
punish those who defraud the program, the most important, save the 
taxpayers the cost of supporting those who defraud the program.
  Mr. Speaker, I remain opposed, however, to a provision in H.R. 4606 
which prohibits the Department of Labor from implementing or 
administering the Davis-Bacon helper regulations. These regulations 
authorize the use of semi-skilled workers, working under the direct 
supervision of higher skilled journeymen, to be employed on Federal 
construction projects. The helper's duties include such tasks as 
service work, preparation and clean up, fetching materials, and at 
times performing part of the journeyman's work. A helper works closely 
with a more skilled journeyman, and in doing so, learns how to perform 
much of the skilled work.
  In the spring of 1992, after nearly 10 years of litigation with the 
construction labor unions, the Department was authorized to begin 
implementation of the helper regulations. Soon after, the Department of 
Labor was prohibited from implementing the regulations through a rider 
attached to the fiscal year 1994 Labor-HHS-Education appropriations 
bill. At that time, the conferees stated that it was to be a one-time 
ban, and that further action should be taken by the appropriate 
authorizing committee.
  H.R. 4606 will knowingly waste billions of taxpayer money paying for 
inflated wages on Federal construction projects. H.R. 4606 will also 
deny thousands of semi-skilled entry-level workers the opportunity to 
gain the experience they need in order to move into better paying, 
higher skilled, construction jobs.
  Over 75 percent of all construction work is performed by contractors 
who use semi-skilled helpers. Three-fourths of the construction built 
in this country is built by nonunion labor using journeymen assisted by 
helpers. Are construction standards in the private sector somehow 
inferior in quality when compared to Federal buildings? Of course not.
  The whole concept of the Davis-Bacon Act is that the prevailing wage 
and the prevailing job classifications in the geographic area of the 
project should control in Federal construction. The use of helpers is 
prevailing in the private sector. But the construction trade unions 
will not allow the use of helpers, because a helper who picks up the 
trade is a threat to a skilled craftsman. The construction unions have 
unsuccessfully fought the helper classification in the courts since 
1982. Now, each year they come to the Congress to make sure that the 
taxpayers continue to pay inflated wages for the construction of 
Federal buildings and public works. And each year, the appropriations 
committees are obliged to prohibit the Department of Labor from 
implementing the regulations. While the unions have again succeeded in 
this endeavor, the real losers are the taxpayers. They are the ones who 
must foot the bill each year--to the tune of $600 million according to 
CBO and GAO.

  Mr. KLECZKA. Mr. Speaker, this appropriations measure will enable a 
very important welfare reform project in Milwaukee to demonstrate that 
people will choose work over welfare if given the opportunity. 
Appropriately called New Hope, the experimental initiative is one of 
the best investments we could ever make--an investment in working 
Americans.
  The New Hope project is a nationally recognized demonstration project 
sponsored by a unique consortium of community, government, business, 
labor, religious, and social service organizations. The project will 
work with 600 families and individuals who choose to participate and 
who live in two targeted inner urban areas in Milwaukee, WI. Moreover, 
the project will be rigorously evaluated with the goal of serving as a 
model for reforming our Nation's welfare system.
  The idea of New Hope is simple: It guarantees to every participant 
that work will eliminate poverty. The project provides access to a job, 
medical coverage and child care, and a wage subsidy to bring 
individuals above the poverty level. But this is no free lunch. While 
New Hope provides participants the tools to escape poverty, in return, 
it requires that they work. Participants who are not employed at least 
30 hours per week will not receive New Hope money.
  New Hope promotes the value of people and their capabilities. It 
gives individuals who have faced obstacles in their lives an 
opportunity to become productive members of our society. Surely, the 
best welfare program is a good job. Passing this legislation today will 
give us a chance to prove it.
  I would like to thank my Wisconsin colleagues, Congressmen Obey and 
Barrett and Senators Kohl and Feingold for helping to get this program 
on the floor again. They have all worked long and hard, for years, to 
get New Hope the recognition and support it deserves. Because of their 
efforts, New Hope is a step toward reforming our Nation's welfare 
system that does not have to wait until next year.
  Mr. HYDE. Mr. Speaker, I have just learned of the recent decision by 
the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania which 
struck down Pennsylvania's requirement that women report the crime of 
rape or incest to appropriate law enforcement agencies in order to 
receive a publicly funded abortion under medical assistance. The court 
incorrectly concluded that when Congress did not include reporting 
requirements in the Hyde amendment, its intent was to prohibit States 
from imposing such requirements.
  I previously discussed the purpose and background of the Hyde 
amendment in my comments on June 28, 1994. The Hyde amendment does not 
prohibit or preclude the imposition of reporting requirements by a 
State, notwithstanding any change in the language of any version of the 
Hyde amendment. Silence on the subject of reporting or certification is 
not intended to mean prohibition. Rather, it was and remains my 
intention to allow States to continue to impose antifraud requirements, 
such as certification or reporting requirements, before it pays for 
abortions.
  I noted with dismay and surprise that the district court dismissed as 
inconsequential the fact that the version of the Hyde amendment offered 
by the late Representative Bill Natcher and adopted in the 
Appropriations Committee--an amendment which specifically required 
reporting of cases of rape or incest--was struck on a point of order. 
This illustrious court must be completely unaware that the House lives 
or dies by its rules of procedure, and that not even a majority can 
prevail against them unless a majority wants to change the rules 
themselves.
  There is a House rule against legislating on an appropriations bill 
and this rule made the committee-adopted amendment subject to a point 
of order by any single Member of the House. Such a point of order was 
raised. Consequently, a similar amendment with reporting requirements 
could not be offered on the House floor; it is for this reason that I 
modified the Hyde amendment to the version in the law today. It was 
most certainly not a silent endorsement of overriding State laws and 
policies requiring the reporting of cases of rape or incest before 
Medicaid provides reimbursement for abortions.
  Moreover, I am at a loss to see where the Pennsylvania court finds 
this ``clear indication of Congressional intent to eliminate the 
requirement under discussion.'' The district court fails to cite any 
support for this statement. I am sure the court did not find any 
indication of this in any of my statements, or the statements of other 
supporters of the Hyde amendment.
  It seems to me that the most important statements, for the purposes 
of understanding congressional intent, are those made by the sponsors 
of the Hyde amendment. Not only was it not my purpose, as chief sponsor 
of the amendment, to gut State reporting requirements, I did not intend 
to override any State laws on abortion funding, as I explained in my 
earlier statement of June 28, 1994. Under the fiscal years 1994 and 
1995 Hyde amendment, Federal reimbursement for Medicaid funding of 
abortions in cases of rape and incest was permitted, not mandated.
  This understanding of the Hyde amendment was supported by Chairman 
Natcher when the conference report on H.R. 2518, the Labor, Health and 
Human Services, and Education appropriations bill was reported back to 
the House on October 7, 1994. He said:

       The Senate adopted the same language that was contained in 
     the House bill, permitting public funding in the case of 
     endangerment of the life of the mother, rape, and incest. 
     (Congressional Record, Oct. 7, 1994, p. H7553)

  Mr. Speaker, it is a travesty of justice to see State after State 
dragged into court to defend their own democratically enacted laws 
simply because of the Medicaid Bureau's willful misinterpretation of 
the Hyde amendment, an interpretation that has no basis in the record 
or in the administration's own stated policies prior to enactment of 
this modified funding restriction.
  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Mfume). Without objection, the previous 
question is ordered on the conference report.
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the conference report.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Mr. GUNDERSON. Mr. Speaker, I object to the vote on the ground that a 
quorum is not present and make the point of order that a quorum is not 
present.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Evidently a quorum is not present.
  The Sergeant at Arms will notify absent Members.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 331, 
nays 89, not voting 14, as follows:

  So the conference report was agreed to.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.


                          personal explanation

  Mr. HASTERT. Mr. Speaker, I had to miss the rollcall vote on H.R. 
4606, the fiscal year 1995 Labor, Health and Human Services and 
Education appropriations conference report. Had I been present, I would 
have voted ``yea'' on rollcall vote No. 434.


                       amendments in disagreement

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Mfume). Pursuant to the order of the 
House of Tuesday, September 20, 1994, the amendments in disagreement 
and motions printed in the joint explanatory statement of the committee 
of conference to dispose of amendments in disagreement are considered 
as read.
  The Clerk will designate the first amendment in disagreement.
  Mr. SMITH of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that Senate 
amendments numbered 12, 13, 20, 32, 37, 66, 75, 78, 79, 80, 89, 91, 
101, 108, and 124 be considered en bloc, and printed in the Record.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Iowa?
  There was no objection.
  (The texts of the various Senate amendments referred to in the 
unanimous-consent request are as follows:)

       Senate amendment No. 12: Page 3, line 23, after ``centers'' 
     insert ``: Provided further, That funds used from this Act to 
     carry out title III of the Job Training Partnership Act shall 
     not be subject to the limitation contained in subsection (b) 
     of section 315 of such Act; that the waiver allowing a 
     reduction in the cost limitation relating to retraining 
     services described in subsection (a)(2) of such section 315 
     may be granted with respect to funds used from this Act if a 
     substate grantee demonstrates to the Governor that such 
     wavier is appropriate due to the availability of low-cost 
     retraining services, is necessary to facilitate the provision 
     of needs-related payments to accompany long-term training, or 
     is necessary to facilitate the provision of appropriate basic 
     readjustment services; and that funds used from this Act to 
     carry out the Secretary's discretionary grants under part B 
     of such title III may be used to provide needs-related 
     payments to participants who, in lieu of meeting the 
     requirements relating to enrollment in training under section 
     314(e) of such Act, are enrolled in training by the end of 
     the sixth week after grant funds have been awarded''.
       Senate amendment No. 13: Page 3, after line 23, insert:
       Of the amounts made available in fiscal year 1994 under the 
     Job Training Partnership Act, title II-C, $50,000,000 are 
     hereby rescinded.
       Senate amendment No. 20: Page 7, line 6, after ``entities'' 
     insert ``: Provided further, That funds appropriated under

       (a) In General.--(1) Chapter 81 of title 5, United States 
     Code, is amended by inserting after section 8147 the 
     following new section:

     ``Sec. 8148. Forfeiture of benefits by convicted felons

       ``(a) Any individual convicted of a violation of section

     disallowing such costs charged by that grantee or contractor 
     which determination is, where appropriate, upheld by any 
     adjudicatory body, such as an Administrative Law Judge, Board

     available under this Act may be obligated in violation of 
     existing Federal law or regulation already prohibiting such

     origin-based traits, including language. Each State agency

     established by the Commissioner of the Immigration and

     expenses during fiscal year 1995, $30,500,000, to be 
     allocated by the Office of Management and Budget, are 
     permanently canceled: Provided further, That the foregoing 
     proviso shall not apply to the Food and Drug Administration

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the

  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Senate amendment No. 154: Page 65, after line 20 insert:
       Sec. 517. (a)(1) The Senate finds that Federal payments in 
     lieu of taxes to counties compensate local jurisdictions for 
     services provided in areas owned by the Federal Government 
     and for tax revenues foregone due to such Federal ownership.
       (2) PILT payments are critical to counties to provide vital 
     basic services such as emergency search and rescue; law 
     enforcement; fire and emergency medical services; solid waste 
     management, road maintenance, and health and other human 
     services.
       (3) PILT payments have not been increased since 1976, and 
     the consumer price index has risen 127 percent since 1976.
       (4) On April 13, 1994, the Senate approved legislation to 
     increase PILT payments by $115,000,000 over 5 years, and 
     index the payments to keep pace with inflation.
       (5) Enactment of this legislation is critical to counties 
     in 49 States throughout the Nation.
       (b) It is the sense of the Senate that the House should 
     approve the Senate passed legislation to increase PILT 
     payments, and that this legislation should be enacted by the 
     adjournment of the One Hundred Third Congress. Further, it is 
     the sense of the Senate that, pursuant to enactment, the 
     President should include full funding for the PILT program in 
     the fiscal year 1996 budget.
