          STATEMENTS ON INTRODUCED BILLS AND JOINT RESOLUTIONS

      By Mr. ROBB:
  S. 448. A bill to amend the Solid Waste Disposal Act to authorize 
local governments and Governors to restrict receipt of out-of-State 
municipal solid waste, and for other purposes; to the Committee on 
Environment and Public Works


           the LOCAL GOVERNMENT INTERSTATE WASTE CONTROL ACT

 Mr. ROBB. Mr. President, today, I introduce legislation which 
will protect communities from being inundated with unwanted garbage 
generated out-of-State. The essential thrust of the legislation is to 
empower localities to

[[Page S2357]]

protect themselves from unwanted trash by allowing them to decide 
whether landfills or incinerators located within their communities 
should be permitted to accept out-of-State waste. It also seeks to 
strike the appropriate balance between State and local authority.
  Those of us who formerly served in State government are keenly aware 
of the divisions of labor among the various levels of government. Due 
to Supreme Court decisions regarding the U.S. Constitution's commerce 
clause, disposing of trash implicates all three levels of government.
  Under the commerce clause, only Congress is permitted to regulate 
interstate commerce. Because the Supreme Court has determined that 
garbage is commerce like any other commodity, States and localities 
have been powerless to halt the disposal of waste disposed in their 
jurisdictions which was generated outside the State. Thus the Federal 
Government must determine how best to regulate this article of 
commerce.
  The role of the States in regulating the disposal of garbage centers 
on its responsibility to protect the State's environment. Based on 
environmental criteria, the States determine whether to issue permits 
for the construction of landfills, and are charged with monitoring the 
operation of landfills and incinerators to guarantee compliance with 
environmental laws. My bill will not affect in any way the State's 
right to enforce the States environmental standards.
  The real responsibility for disposing of trash, however, has rested 
historically with local governments. It is their responsibility to pick 
up the trash and to find a place to put it down. Because this is the 
locality's ultimate responsibility, and because the local community is 
the one most directly affected by garbage imports, my bill delegates 
primary authority regarding interstate waste to the local governments.
  The legislation defines an affected local government as the political 
subdivision of the State charged with making land use decisions. In my 
view, if an elected body is competent to make decisions regarding the 
use of land in the community, then it is certainly competent to 
determine whether a landfill, already permitted under State law, should 
be allowed to accept out-of-State waste.
  Striking the right balance between State and local authority was only 
half the battle. The other major issue implicated by placing 
restrictions on out-of-State waste is how to treat existing facilities. 
In many cases, existing facilities which accept out-of-State waste do 
so in the face of local opposition. These communities understandably 
want us to stop the garbage from flowing. It would not be fair, 
however, to those who expended millions of dollars to build new 
landfills in compliance with strict federal regulations to cut off 
their commerce completely. Therefore, my measure balances these 
interests by allowing the Governor of each State to limit the amount of 
out-of-State waste which can be disposed of in an existing facility.
  To finance new waste disposal facilities that meet stringent State 
and Federal environmental regulations, some local governments are 
cooperating with private developers to build these state-of-the-art 
facilities. This cooperative relationship, however, can only florish if 
the locality has some leverage over the developer. Under present law, a 
local government is powerless to deny a zoning permit to a landfill 
developer simply because waste from out-of-State will be disposed in 
the landfill. If the local government is given the power to reject out-
of-State waste, it also will have the power to accept the waste, with 
conditions. By allowing communities to have leverage at the bargaining 
table, they can enter into host community agreements which are 
beneficial to the locality and its neighbors.
  In many instances, this can be a winning proposition for the local 
community. The new landfill can be built at no cost to the community, 
and the community can charge a host community fee which can be used to 
reduce taxes or pay for other projects, such as building schools.
  While inviting a landfill developer into a community may not be the 
solution for every local government, it should remain an option for 
those who choose to pursue it. And under my legislation, the local 
government would not have to make such a decision alone. The 
legislation requires the local government to consult with the Governor 
and adjoining local governments before a decision is made.
  More importantly, however, my legislation absolutely bans out-of-
State waste from new facilities unless a community affirmatively agrees 
to the imports. This is important to many communities in my State, 
mostly rural, that can fall prey under existing law to unscrupulous 
landfill developers who, in their search for land, can run roughshod 
over the wishes of the locality. I hope my colleagues will join with me 
in supporting this legislation and protecting our communities from 
unwanted out-of-State trash.
                                 ______
                                 
      By Mr. KYL (for himself, Mr. Wyden, Mr. Kennedy, and Mr. 
        Hutchinson):
  S. 449. A bill to prohibit the restriction of certain types of 
medical communications between a health care provider and a patient; to 
the Committee on Labor and Human Resources.


                     the patient right to know act

  Mr. KYL. Mr. President, I rise to join my colleague, Senator Ron 
Wyden, to introduce the Patient Right to Know Act. I also want to 
commend my House colleagues, Representatives Greg Ganske and Ed Markey, 
for their leadership on this issue.


                           procedural history

  The Kyl-Wyden Patient Right to Know Act, originally offered as an 
amendment on September 10, 1996 to the fiscal year 1997 Treasury, 
Postal appropriations bill, received 51 bipartisan votes; but 60 votes 
were required to overcome a procedural obstacle on the Senate floor.


                              the problem

  Mr. President, the purpose of this legislation is to return to 
patients their basic right to receive all relevant information from 
their doctor, or provider, about costs, benefits, risks, and legal, and 
appropriate treatment options that are important to their health. This 
bill would allow doctors and other providers to comply with their 
ethical and legal responsibility to fully inform patients of all their 
reasonable and legal options, regardless of cost or coverage 
limitations in a particular plan.
  Some managed care plans forbid doctors and other providers from even 
mentioning all legal and reasonable treatment options to patients, 
either because the managed care plan's benefits will not pay for a 
particular treatment, or because of the relative cost of different 
treatments for the same condition offered by the plan.
  In recent years, there have been media accounts of a few of the 
countless individuals who have been denied care by physicians and plans 
in an effort to control costs. In April 1994, ABC's ``20-20'' reported 
on the case of a woman who was denied information about a bone-marrow 
transplant to treat her breast cancer. In October 1995, CBS presented a 
story about a woman who was denied information about and access to 
specialists, and who was later diagnosed with cancer.
  The national press has revealed the extent of this problem in 
publications such as the New England Journal of Medicine and the New 
York Times. For instance, the Times ran an article in September 22, 
1996, entitled, the ``Tricky Business of Keeping Doctors Quiet.''
  Americans have clearly noticed the deficiencies in some managed care 
plans. In a 1996 poll by the Patient Access to Speciality Care 
Coalition, 92.7 percent responded that it was very important that they 
be told of all treatment options, and 53 percent believe that they do 
not now receive enough information about how HMO's or managed care 
plans make treatment decisions.


                         attempts at a solution

  Sixteen State legislatures have addressed the existence of gag rules, 
and several more are in the process of doing so.
  The industry itself has acknowledged this problem, possibly realizing 
that gag rules make good managed care companies look bad. On December 
18, 1996, the American Association of Health Plans, which represents 
over 1,000 providers and 140 million Americans, announced voluntary 
guidelines

[[Page S2358]]

that would end the use of gag clauses by member plans.
  Limited antigag regulations have been promulgated by the Health Care 
Financing Administration that apply to Medicare and Medicaid managed 
care insurance contracts.
  However, this still leaves us without a systematic approach to the 
problem. I believe we need a single, clear Federal standard, enforced 
by the States, that provides consistent protection of medical 
communications, for all health plan beneficiaries, no matter which 
State they live in, or which health plan they buy. This is the only 
certain way to stop individuals or entities whose goal is to reduce 
costs--at the expense of health care quality--by restricting medical 
communications between providers and patients.


                     the congress may and must act

  It is clear that the Congress may act in this area since the offering 
and operation of health plans affects commerce among the States.
  It is also clear that the Congress must act. With the emphasis that 
health care reform places on managed care, it is essential that the 
Congress ensure that managed care techniques and procedures protect 
patients and guarantee the integrity of the provider-patient 
relationship.
  Mr. President, gag clauses in health care provider contracts attack 
the heart of the provider-patient relationship, and undermine the 
fundamental factor in the healing process: trust. The Congress has a 
substantial interest in preserving this relationship in the managed 
care environment it helped to create.
  This legislation is measured in its approach. It provides for State 
enforcement of a clear, reasonable Federal standard. And, before a 
floor vote, the legislation will include a conscience clause exception 
for providers and entities. After months of good-faith, bipartisan 
discussion, the precise legislative language to establish a conscience 
clause exception to the gag rule has not yet been crafted.
  However, all parties agree in principle that the rights and 
prerogatives of health plans and individual providers who, for 
religious or moral reasons, choose not to discuss certain treatments, 
must be protected. The question is, how best to accomplish this.
  I am committed to continuing to work with all interested parties to 
achieve the greatest consensus possible on this critical issue. I will 
continue to work to see that all interested parties have been heard on 
this issue and the greatest amount of consensus possible has been 
reached.

      By Mr. DORGAN (for himself, Mr. Grassley, Mr. Rockefeller, Mr. 
        Baucus, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Harkin, Mr. Faircloth, Mr. Hutchinson, 
        Mr. Inouye and Mr. Conrad):
  S. 452. A bill to amend titles XVIII and XIX of the Social Security 
Act to permit a waiver of the prohibition of offering nurse aide 
training and competency evaluation programs in certain nursing 
facilities; to the Committee on Finance.


                  THE NURSE AIDE TRAINING ACT OF 1997

 Mr. DORGAN. Mr. President, today, I am introducing legislation 
that will preserve quality care in rural nursing homes by ensuring that 
they can continue to conduct nurse aide training programs in their 
facilities.

[[Page S2373]]

  This bill enjoys bipartisan support, and I am joined in introducing 
this bill by Senators Grassley, Rockefeller, Baucus, Roberts, Harkin, 
Faircloth, Hutchinson, Inouye, and Conrad. The bill, which also has the 
support of the Clinton administration, will prevent the termination of 
nurse aide training programs where the reason for the termination is 
unrelated to the quality of the program and where no training 
alternative exists within a reasonable distance.
  I have long believed that the Federal Government has an important 
role to play in ensuring against the kinds of abuses that sometimes 
occurred prior to enactment of Federal nursing home standards. I do not 
believe that those abuses were the norm in nursing homes. Nursing homes 
in my State of North Dakota have a strong record of providing quality 
care, and I believe that this was the case in most nursing homes.
  But it is clear that some nursing homes did not meet that high 
standard, and many States were slow to respond. To address that 
critical problem, I supported and continue to support minimum Federal 
quality standards. Our first priority in nursing home legislation must 
be the quality of care provided to residents, and we should not pass 
any laws that would compromise that goal.
  However, I believe that some of our efforts to regulate nursing homes 
have not resulted in greater quality of care for residents. In some 
cases, by imposing unnecessary burdens and severe penalties that are 
not focused on quality, some laws and regulations can actually hinder 
the delivery of quality care. The legislation I am offering today will 
address one such instance.

  In rural areas all over the country, nursing facilities offer 
potential caretakers an opportunity to learn the basic nursing and 
personal care skills needed to become a certified nurse aide. In 
return, those who participate in a nurse aide training program help 
nursing facilities meet their staffing needs and allow the nursing 
staff to focus more on administering quality nursing care.
  Nurse aide training programs are especially important in rural areas 
like my State of North Dakota, where potential nurse aides might have 
to travel hundreds of miles for training if it is not available at the 
nursing facility in their community. These nurse aide training programs 
comply with strict guidelines related to the amount of training 
necessary and determination of competency for certification.
  Despite these safeguards, current law allows programs to be 
terminated for up to 2 years if a facility has been cited for a 
deficiency or assessed a civil money penalty for reasons completely 
unrelated to the quality of the nurse aide training program. In North 
Dakota, this could result in real hardship not just for the nursing 
facility and potential nurse aides, but for the nursing home residents 
who rely on nurse aides for their day-to-day care.
  Under my bill, rural areas would be exempt from termination of nurse 
aide training programs in these specific instances only if: First, no 
other program is offered within a reasonable distance of the facility; 
second, the State assures that an adequate environment exists for 
operating the program; and third, the State provides notice of the 
determination and assurances to the State long-term care ombudsman.
  The President has included this proposal in the last two budgets he 
has presented to Congress. In addition, Congress included this proposal 
in the Balanced Budget Act passed in December 1995.
  I hope my colleagues will join me in supporting this bill.
  I ask unanimous consent that the full text of the bill be printed in 
the Record.
  There being no objection, the bill was ordered to be printed in the 
Record, as follows:

                                 S. 452

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled,

     SECTION 1. PERMITTING WAIVER OF PROHIBITION OF OFFERING NURSE 
                   AIDE TRAINING AND COMPETENCY EVALUATION 
                   PROGRAMS IN CERTAIN FACILITIES.

       (a) Waiver.--Sections 1819(f)(2) and section 1919(f)(2) of 
     the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395i-3(f)(2), 
     1396r(f)(2)) are each amended--
       (1) in subparagraph (B)(iii), by inserting ``subject to 
     subparagraph (C),'' after ``(iii)''; and
       (2) by adding at the end, the following:
       ``(C) Waiver authorized.--Clause (iii) of subparagraph (B) 
     shall not apply to a program offered in (but not by) a 
     nursing facility in a State if the State--
       ``(i) determines that there is no other such program 
     offered within a reasonable distance of the facility;
       ``(ii) assures, through an oversight effort, that an 
     adequate environment exists for operating the program in the 
     facility; and
       ``(iii) provides notice of such determination and 
     assurances to the State long-term care ombudsman.''.
       (b) Effective Date.--The amendments made by subsection (a) 
     apply to programs offered on or after the date of enactment 
     of this Act.

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, today I join Senator Byron Dorgan of 
North Dakota in introducing legislation aimed at reversing the lack of 
qualified nurse aides in rural America by encouraging local training 
programs to continue their work. Our goal is to improve the level of 
care in nursing homes. Increasing the availability of qualified staff 
in rural nursing homes will help older Americans live better lives.
  Many rural nursing homes rely on their own training programs to 
certify nurse aides. Current Federal law allows these training programs 
to be terminated due to problems unrelated to the quality of the 
training program. In rural areas, terminating a nurse aide training 
program can result in a lack of qualified staff at a rural facility. 
Therefore, terminating a nurse training program can actually make 
conditions worse, not better.
  This bill ensures that nurse aide training programs will be judged on 
their own merits, not on outside factors. This is commonsense 
legislation. Judging people on their actions and programs on their 
results is the American way. Judging training programs on outside 
factors doesn't penalize the substandard nursing homes, it penalizes 
older Americans.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) during the period from 1980 to 1988, Ocean County, New 
     Jersey, had a significantly higher rate of childhood cancer 
     than the rest of the United States, including a rate of brain 
     and central nervous system cancer that was nearly 70 percent 
     above the rate of other States;
       (2) during the period from 1979 to 1991--
       (A) there were 230 cases of childhood cancer in Ocean 
     County, of which 56 cases were in Dover Township, and of 
     those 14 were in Toms River alone;
       (B) the rate of brain and central nervous system cancer of

     expected, and among children under 5 was 7 times higher than 
     expected; and
       (C) Dover township, which would have had a nearly normal 
     cancer rate if Toms River was excluded had a 49 percent 
     higher cancer rate than the rest of the State and an 80 
     percent higher leukemia rate than the rest of the State; and
       (3)(A) according to New Jersey State averages, a population 
     the size of Toms River should have 1.6 children under age 19 
     with cancer; and
       (B) Toms River currently has 5 children under the age of 19

  S. 454. A bill to provide incentives to encourage stronger truth in 
sentencing of violent offenders, and for other purposes; to the 
Committee on the Judiciary.


           the stop allowing felons early release (safer) act

  Mr. DORGAN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the text of 
the bill be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the bill was ordered to be printed in the 
Record, as follows:

                                 S. 454

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled,

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Stop Allowing Felons Early 
     Release (SAFER) Act''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) violent criminals often serve only a small portion of 
     the terms of imprisonment to which they are sentenced;
       (2) a significant proportion of the most serious crimes of 
     violent committed in the United States are committed by 
     criminals who have been released early from a term of 
     imprisonment to which they were sentenced for a prior 
     conviction for a crime of violence;
       (3) violent criminals who are released before the 
     expiration of the term of imprisonment to which they were 
     sentenced often travel to other States to commit subsequent 
     crimes of violence;
       (4) crimes of violence and the threat of crimes of violence 
     committed by violent criminals who are released from prison 
     before the expiration of the term of imprisonment to which 
     they were sentenced affects tourism, economic development, 
     use of the interstate highway system, federally owned or 
     supported facilities, and other commercial activities of 
     individuals; and
       (5) the policies of one State regarding the early release 
     of criminals sentenced in that State for a crime of violence 
     often affect the citizens of other States, who can influence 
     those policies only through Federal law.
       (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to reduce crimes 
     of violence by encouraging States to incarcerate violent 
     offenders for the full term of imprisonment to which they 
     are sentenced.

     SEC. 3. ELIGIBILITY FOR TRUTH IN SENTENCING INCENTIVE GRANTS.

       (a) In General.--Section 20102(b)(1) of the Violent Crime 
     Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (42 U.S.C. 
     13702(b)(1)) is amended to read as follows:
       ``(1) Formula allocation.--
       ``(A) In general.--Of amounts made available to carry out 
     this section, the Attorney General shall allocate for each 
     eligible State an amount equal to the ratio that the number 
     of part 1 violent crimes reported by such State to the 
     Federal Bureau of Investigation for 1993 bears to the number 
     of part 1 violent crimes reported by all States to the 
     Federal Bureau of Investigation for 1993.
       ``(B) Other states.--
       ``(i) In general.--For each eligible State that has not 
     enacted a statute meeting the requirements of clause (ii), 
     the Attorney General shall reduce the amount allocated under 
     subparagraph (A) by 25 percent.
       ``(ii) Statute described.--A statute meets for requirements 
     of this clause if it results in the elimination of parole, 
     good time credit release, and any other form of early release 
     for any person convicted of a part 1 violent crime, with 
     early release permitted only by approval of the Governor of 
     the State after a public hearing during which representatives 
     of the public and the victims of the part 1 violent crime at 
     issue have had an opportunity to be heard regarding the 
     proposed release.
       ``(iii) Allocation.--The total amount of the reductions 
     under clause (i) shall be allocated to each eligible State 
     that has enacted a statute meeting the requirements of clause 
     (ii) in accordance with the formula under subparagraph 
     (A).''.
       (b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by subsection (a) 
     shall take effect 3 years after the date of enactment of this 
     Act.
                                 ______
