     subsection:
       (f)(1) The drawdown and distribution of petroleum products 
     from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is authorized only under 
     section 161 of this Act, and drawdown and distribution of 
     petroleum products for purposes other than those described in

       (2) In the Secretary's annual budget submission, the 
     Secretary shall request funds for acquisition, 
     transportation, and injection of petroleum products for 
     storage in the Reserve. If no request for funds is made, the 
     Secretary shall provide a written explanation of the reason 
     therefore.

  Mr. MURKOWSKI. Mr. President, this legislation should have been the 
easiest thing we did this Congress. The Senate passed a bill on this 
issue by unanimous consent three times this Congress. This bill 
contains nothing less than our Nation's energy security insurance 
policy. This bill authorizes two vital energy security measures: the 
Strategic Petroleum Reserve and U.S. participation in the International 
Energy Agency.
  Both of these authorities have expired. Again, this year we have sent 
our soldiers to the Gulf to protect our Nation's energy security 
interests. We owe it to our soldiers, and the Nation's civilian 
consumers, to do everything we can to ensure that our energy insurance 
policy is in effect.
  However, to ensure our Nation's energy security fully, we need more 
than just a simple extension of these authorities. We must change the 
antitrust exemption in EPCA to comply with current IEA policy. The IEA 
changed its emergency response policy at our request, switching from 
command-and-control measures to more market-oriented coordinated 
stockdraw procedures. However, our laws haven't kept up.
  Right now, our U.S. oil companies don't have any assurance that their 
attempts to cooperate with the IEA and our government in a crises won't 
be a violation of antitrust laws. The IEA's efforts to respond to a 
crisis are already being critically impaired, because they can't 
coordinate with U.S. oil companies or even conduct exercises to prepare 
for an emergency. Our oil companies want to cooperate with our 
government and the IEA and strongly support this amendment.
  For every year in recent memory, we have authorized this Act on a 
year-to-year basis. Every year, we face a potential crises when these 
authorities go unrenewed until the very end of the Congress. The 
provisions of this bill are not controversial. However, there are those 
who see any important bill as leverage.
  This year, we are on the edge of a real crises. We have military 
activity in the Gulf, and no clear authority to respond to oil supply 
shortages. Playing political games with this bill has always been 
irresponsible; now it is downright dangerous. In the future, the only 
way to avoid the annual crisis is to renew EPCA for more than one year. 
I am disappointed that we can't do that now. But for now, we must avert 
the immediate crisis.
  I have tried to address concerns about the future of the SPR. Like 
many of you, I am dismayed by the recent use of the SPR as a ``piggy 
bank''. In 1995, DOE proposed the sale of oil to pay for repairs and 
upkeep, opening the floodgates to continued sales of oil for budget-
balancing purposes. So far, we've lost the American taxpayer over half 
a billion dollars. Buying high and selling low never makes sense. We're 
like the man in the old joke who was buying high and selling low who 
claimed that ``he would make it up on volume.'' I am pleased that we 
were successful in canceling the oil sale ordered by the fiscal year 
1998 Interior Appropriations bill. I thank the appropriators for 
keeping my oil-sale cancellation amendment in the conference on the 
Supplemental Appropriations bill. By my calculations, we have saved the 
American taxpayer over $500 million. I am also pleased that the 
President's budget does not propose oil sales. I hope we have broken 
the habit of selling SPR oil forever.
  We have already invested a great deal of taxpayer dollars in the SPR. 
We proved during the Persian Gulf War that the stabilizing effect of an 
SPR drawdown far outstrips the volume of oil sold. The simple fact that 
the SPR is available can have a calming influence on oil markets. The 
oil is there, waiting to dampen the effects of an energy emergency on 
our economy. However, if we don't ensure that there is authority to use 
the oil when we need it, we will have thrown those tax dollars away. 
So, the first step is to ensure that our emergency oil reserves are 
fully authorized and available.
  We are talking about people's lives and jobs. The least we can do is 
stop holding this measure hostage to political ambition. I urge my 
colleagues to support the adoption of this amendment.

                       THOMAS AMENDMENT NO. 2401

  Mr. THOMAS proposed an amendment to the amendment No. 2387 proposed

               HARKIN (AND WELLSTONE) AMENDMENT NO. 2402

  Mr. HARKIN (for himself and Mr. Wellstone) proposed an amendment to 
the amendment No. 2388 proposed by Mr. Hutchinson to the bill, S. 2057, 
supra; as follows

       In lieu of the language proposed to be inserted, insert the 
     following:

[[Page S4919]]

     SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States Customs Service has identified goods, 
     wares, articles, and merchandise mined, produced, or 
     manufactured under conditions of convict labor, forced labor, 
     or indentured labor, in several countries.
       (2) The United States Customs Service has made limited 
     attempts to prohibit the import of products made with forced 
     labor, resulting in only a few seizures, detention orders, 
     fines, and criminal prosecutions.
       (3) The United States Customs Service has taken 21 formal 
     administrative actions in the form of detention orders 
     against different products destined for the United States 
     market, found to have been made with forced labor, including 
     products from the People's Republic of China.
       (4) However, the United States Customs Service has never 
     formally investigated or pursued enforcement with respect to 
     attempts to import products made with forced or indentured 
     child labor.
       (5) The United States Customs Service can use additional 
     resources and tools to obtain the timely and in-depth 
     verification necessary to identify and interdict products 
     made with forced labor or indentured labor, including forced 
     or indentured child labor, that are destined for the United 
     States market.
       (6) The International Labor Organization estimates that 
     approximately 250,000,000 children between the ages of 5 and 
     14 are working in developing countries, including millions of 
     children in bondage or otherwise forced to work for little or 
     no pay.
       (7) Congress has clearly indicated in Public Law 105-61, 
     Treasury-Postal Service Appropriations, 1998, that forced or 
     indentured child labor constitutes forced labor under section 
     307 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1307).

     SEC. 2. AUTHORIZATION FOR ADDITIONAL CUSTOMS PERSONNEL TO 
                   MONITOR THE IMPORTATION OF PRODUCTS MADE WITH 
                   FORCED OR INDENTURED LABOR.

       There are authorized to be appropriated $2,000,000 for 
     fiscal year 1999 to the United States Customs Service to 
     monitor the importation of products made with forced labor or 
     indentured labor, including forced or indentured child labor, 
     the importation of which violates section 307 of the Tariff 
     Act of 1930 or section 1761 of title 18, United States Code.

     SEC. 3. REPORTING REQUIREMENT ON FORCED LABOR OR INDENTURED 
                   LABOR PRODUCTS DESTINED FOR THE UNITED STATES 
                   MARKET.

       (a) Report to Congress.--Not later than 1 year after the 
     date of enactment of this Act, the Commissioner of Customs 
     shall prepare and transmit to Congress a report on products 
     made with forced labor or indentured labor, including forced 
     or indentured child labor that are destined for the United 
     States market.
       (b) Contents of Report.--The report under subsection (a) 
     shall include information concerning the following:
       (1) The extent of the use of forced labor or indentured 
     labor, including forced or indentured child labor in 
     manufacturing or mining products destined for the United 
     States market.
       (2) The volume of products made or mined with forced labor 
     or indentured labor, including forced or indentured child 
     labor that is--
       (A) destined for the United States market,
       (B) in violation of section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930 
     or section 1761 of title 18, United States Code, and
       (C) seized by the United States Customs Service.
       (3) The progress of the United States Customs Service in 
     identifying and interdicting products made with forced labor 
     or indentured labor, including forced or indentured child 
     labor that are destined for the United States market.

     SEC. 4. RENEGOTIATING MEMORANDA OF UNDERSTANDING ON FORCED 
                   LABOR.

       It is the sense of Congress that the President should 
     determine whether any country with which the United States 
     has a memorandum of understanding with respect to reciprocal 
     trade that involves goods made with forced labor or 
     indentured labor, including forced or indentured child labor 
     is frustrating implementation of the memorandum. If an 
     affirmative determination be made, the President should 
     immediately commence negotiations to replace the current 
     memorandum of understanding with one providing for effective 
     procedures for the monitoring of forced labor or indentured 
     labor, including forced or indentured child labor. The 
     memorandum of understanding should include improved 
     procedures for requesting investigations of suspected work 
     sites by international monitors.

     SEC. 5. DEFINITION OF FORCED LABOR.

       In this Act, the term ``forced labor'' means convict labor, 
     forced labor, or indentured labor, as such terms are used in 
     section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930. The term includes 
     forced or indentured child labor--
       (1) that is exacted from any person under 15 years of age, 
     either in payment for the debts of a parent, relative, or 
     guardian, or drawn under false pretexts; and
       (2) with respect to which such person is confined against 
     the person's will.
       Section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1307) is 
     amended by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
       ``For purposes of this section, forced or indentured labor 
     includes forced or indentured child labor.''
                                 ______
                                 

                 INHOFE (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 2403

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. INHOFE (for himself, Mr. Dorgan, Ms. Snowe, Mr. Bennett, Mr. 
Smith of New Hampshire, Ms. Collins, Mr. Shelby, Mr. Sessions, and Mr. 
Hatch) submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by them to the 
bill, S. 2057, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place in Title XXVIII of the bill, 
     insert the following:

     SEC.  . MODIFICATION OF LIMITATIONS ON GENERAL AUTHORITY 
                   RELATING TO BASE CLOSURES AND REALIGNMENTS.

       (a) Actions Covered by Notice and Wait Procedures.--
     Subsection (a) of section 2687 of title 10, United States 
     Code, is amended by striking out paragraphs (1) and (2) and 
     inserting in lieu thereof the following new paragraphs (1) 
     and (2);
       ``(1) the closure of any military installation at which at 
     least 150 civilian personnel are authorized to be employed;
       ``(2) any realignment with respect to a military 
     installation if such realignment will result in an aggregate 
     reduction in the number of civilian personnel authorized to 
     be employed at such military installation during the fiscal 
     year in which notice of such realignment is submitted to 
     Congress under subsection (b) equal to or greater than--
       ``(A) 150 such civilian personnel; or
       ``(B) the number equal to 50 percent of the total number of 
     civilian personnel authorized to be employed at such military 
     installation at the beginning of such fiscal year; or''.
       (b) Availability of Funds for Certain Pre-Closure 
     Activities.-- Subsection (d) of the section is amended is 
     amended by adding at the end the following:
       ``(3) No funds appropriated or otherwise available to the 
     Department of Defense may be obligated or expended for the 
     purpose of planning or carrying out a transfer of civilian or 
     military personnel or equipment in connection with a closure 
     of a military installation not covered by subsection (a) 
     unless the use of funds for that purpose is specifically 
     authorized by law.''.
       (c) Definitions.--Subsection (e) of that section is 
     amended--
       (1) in paragraph (3), by inserting ``(including a 
     consolidation)'' after ``any action''; and
       (2) by adding at the end the following:
       ``(5) The term `closure' includes any action to inactivate 
     or abandon a military installation or to transfer a military 
     installation to caretaker status.''.

     SEC.  . SENSE OF THE SENATE ON FURTHER ROUNDS ON BASE 
                   CLOSURES.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) There may be a need for further rounds of base 
     closures, but there is no need to authorize in 1998 a new 
     base closure commission that would not begin its work until 
     three years from now, in 2001;
       (2) While the Department of Defense has submitted a report 
     to the Congress in response to Section 2824 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998, that report--
       (A) based its estimates of the costs and savings of 
     previous base closure rounds on data that the General 
     Accounting Office has described as ``inconsistent'', 
     ``unreliable'' and ``incomplete'';
       (B) failed to demonstrate that the Defense Department is 
     working effectively to improve its ability to track base 
     closure costs and savings resulting from the 1993 and 1995 
     base closure rounds, which are ongoing;
       (C) modeled the savings to be achieved as a result of 
     further base closure rounds on the 1993 and 1995 rounds, 
     which are as yet incomplete and on which the Department's 
     information is faulty; and
       (D) projected that base closure rounds in 2001 and 2005 
     would not produce substantial savings until 2008, a decade 
     after the federal government will have achieved unified 
     budget balance, and 5 years beyond the planning period for 
     the current congressional budget and Future Years Defense 
     Plan;
       (3) Section 2824 required that the Congressional Budget 
     Office and the General Accounting Office review the Defense 
     Department's report, and--
       (A) The General Accounting Office stated on May 1, that 
     ``we are now conducting our analysis to be able to report any 
     limitations that may exist in the required level of detail. . 
     . . [W]e are awaiting some supporting documentation from the 
     military services to help us finish assessing the report's 
     information.'';
       (B) The Congressional Budget Office stated on May 1 that 
     its review is ongoing, and that ``it is important that CBO 
     take the time necessary to provide a thoughtful and accurate 
     evaluation of DoD's report, rather than issue a preliminary 
     and potentially inaccurate assessment.'';
       (4) The Congressional Budget Office recommended that ``The 
     Congress could consider authorizing an additional round of 
     base closures if the Department of Defense believes that 
     there is a surplus of military capacity after all rounds of 
     BRAC have been carried out. That consideration, however, 
     should follow an interval during which DoD and independent 
     analysts examine the actual impact of the measures that have 
     been taken thus far.''
       (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that:

[[Page S4920]]

       (1) Congress should not authorize further rounds of base 
     closures and realignments until all actions authorized by the 
     Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 are 
     completed; and
       (2) The Department of Defense should submit forthwith to 
     the Congress the report required by Section 2815 of Public 
     Law 103-337, analyzing the effects of base closures and 
     realignments on the ability of the Armed Forces to 
     remobilize, describing the military construction projects 
     needed to facilitate such remobilization, and discussing the 
     assets, such as air space, that would be difficult to 
     reacquire in the event of such remobilization.
                                 ______
                                 

                 INHOFE (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 2404

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. INHOFE (for himself, Mr. Hutchinson, Mr. Ashcroft, Mr. Brownback, 
and Mr. Smith of New Hampshire) submitted an amendment intended to be 
proposed by them to the bill, S. 2057, supra; as follows:

       In title XXVIII, insert the following:

     SEC. . PROHIBITION ON CONVEYANCE OF PROPERTY AT LONG BEACH 
                   NAVAL STATION, CALIFORNIA, TO CHINA OCEAN 
                   SHIPPING COMPANY.

       (a) Prohibition Against Direct Conveyance.--In disposing of 
     real property in connection with the closure of Long Beach 
     Naval Station, California, under the provisions of the 
     Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (part A of 
     title XXIX of Public Law 101-510; 10 U.S.C. 2687 note), the 
     Secretary of Defense may not convey any portion of the 
     property (whether by sale, lease, or other method) to China 
     Ocean Shipping Company, or any successor entity to the 
     company.
       (b) Prohibition Against Indirect Conveyance.--The Secretary 
     shall impose as a condition on each conveyance of real 
     property located at Long Beach Naval Station the requirement 
     that the property may not be subsequently conveyed (whether 
     by sale, lease, or other method) to China Ocean Shipping 
     Company, or any successor entity to the company.
       (c) Reversionary Interest.--If the Secretary determines at 
     any time that real property located at Long Beach Naval 
     Station and conveyed under the provisions of the Defense Base 
     Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 has been conveyed to 
     China Ocean Shipping Company (or any successor entity to the 
     company) in violation of subsection (b), or is otherwise 
     being used by China Ocean Shipping Company (or any successor

               FEINSTEIN (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 2405

  Mrs. FEINSTEIN (for herself, Mr. Brownback, Mr. Glenn, and Mr. Bryan) 
proposed an amendment to the bill, S. 2057, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place insert:
       The Government of India conducted an underground nuclear 
     explosion on May 18, 1974;
       Since the 1974 nuclear test by the Government of India, the 
     United States and its allies have worked extensively to 
     prevent the further proliferation of nuclear weapons in South 
     Asia;
       On May 11, 1998, the Government of India conducted 
     underground tests of three separate nuclear explosive 
     devices, including a fission device, a low-yield device, and 
     a thermo-nuclear device;
       On May 13, 1998 the Government of India conducted two 
     additional underground tests of nuclear explosive devices;
       This decision by the Government of India has needlessly 
     raised tension in the South Asia region and threatens to 
     exacerbate the nuclear arms race in that region;
       The five declared nuclear weapons states and 144 other 
     nations have signed the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty in 
     hopes of putting a permanent end to nuclear testing;
       The Government of India has refused to sign the 
     Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty;
       The Government of India has refused to sign the Nuclear 
     Non-Proliferation Treaty;
       India has refused to enter into a safeguards agreement with 
     the International Atomic Energy Agency covering any of its 
     nuclear research facilities;
       The Nuclear Proliferation Act of 1994 requires the 
     President to impose a variety of aid and trade sanctions 
     against any non-nuclear weapons state that detonates a 
     nuclear explosive device;
       It is the sense of Senate that the Senate--
       (1) Condemns in the strongest possible terms the decision 
     of the Government of India to conduct three nuclear tests on 
     May 11, 1998 and two nuclear tests on May 13, 1998;
       (2) Supports the President's decision to carry out the 
     provisions of the Nuclear Proliferation Prevention Act of 
     1994 with respect to India and invoke all sanctions therein;
       (3) Calls upon the Government of India to take immediate 
     steps to reduce tensions that this unilateral and unnecessary 
     step has caused;
       (4) Expresses its regret that this decision by the 
     Government of India will, of necessity, set back relations 
     between the United States and India;
       (5) Urges the Government of Pakistan, the Government of the 
     People's Republic of China, and all governments to exercise 
     restraint in response to the Indian nuclear tests, in order 
     to avoid further exacerbating the nuclear arms race in South 
     Asia;
       (6) Calls upon all governments in the region to take steps 
     to prevent further proliferation of nuclear weapons and 
     ballistic missiles;
       (7) Urges the Government of India to enter into a 
     safeguards agreement with the International Atomic energy 
     Agency which would cover all Indian nuclear research 
     facilities at the earliest possible time.
                                 ______
