                     GENERAL PROVISION, THIS TITLE

        Sec. 1401. Emergency Steel Loan Guarantee Program. (a) 
     Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Emergency 
     Steel Loan Guarantee Act of 1999''.
       (b) Congressional Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) the United States steel industry has been severely 
     harmed by a record surge of more than 40,000,000 tons of 
     steel imports into the United States in 1998, caused by the 
     world financial crisis;
       (2) this surge in imports resulted in the loss of more than 
     10,000 steel worker jobs in 1998, and was the imminent cause 
     of 3 bankruptcies by medium-sized steel companies, Acme 
     Steel, Laclede Steel, and Geneva Steel;
       (3) the crisis also forced almost all United States steel 
     companies into--
       (A) reduced volume, lower prices, and financial losses; and
       (B) an inability to obtain credit for continued operations 
     and reinvestment in facilities;
       (4) the crisis also has affected the willingness of private 
     banks and investment institutions to make loans to the U.S. 
     steel industry for continued operation and reinvestment in 
     facilities;
       (5) these steel bankruptcies, job losses, and financial 
     losses are also having serious negative effects on the tax 
     base of cities, counties, and States, and on the essential 
     health, education, and municipal services that these 
     government entities provide to their citizens; and
       (6) a strong steel industry is necessary to the adequate 
     defense preparedness of the United States in order to have 
     sufficient steel available to build the ships, tanks, planes, 
     and armaments necessary for the national defense.
       (c) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--
       (1) the term ``Board'' means the Loan Guarantee Board

     that--
       (A) is incorporated under the laws of any State;
       (B) is engaged in the production and manufacture of a 
     product defined by the American Iron and Steel Institute as a 
     basic steel mill product, including ingots, slab and billets, 
     plates, flat-rolled steel, sections and structural products, 
     bars, rail type products, pipe and tube, and wire rod; and
       (C) has experienced layoffs, production losses, or 
     financial losses since the beginning of the steel import 
     crisis, after January 1, 1998.
       (d) Establishment of Emergency Steel Guaranteed Loan 
     Program.--There is established the Emergency Steel Guaranteed 
     Loan Program, to be administered by the Board, the purpose of 
     which is to provide loan guarantees to qualified steel 
     companies in accordance with this section.

     be issued under this section upon application to the Board by 
     a qualified steel company pursuant to an agreement to provide

       (1) credit is not otherwise available to that company under 
     reasonable terms or conditions sufficient to meet its 
     financing needs, as reflected in the financial and business 
     plans of that company;
       (2) the prospective earning power of that company, together 
     with the character and value of the security pledged, furnish 
     reasonable assurance of repayment of the loan to be 
     guaranteed in accordance with its terms;
       (3) the loan to be guaranteed bears interest at a rate 
     determined by the Board to be reasonable, taking into account 
     the current average yield on outstanding obligations of the 
     United States with remaining periods of maturity comparable 
     to the maturity of such loan; and
       (4) the company has agreed to an audit by the General 
     Accounting Office, prior to the issuance of the loan 
     guarantee and annually while any such guaranteed loan is 
     outstanding.
       (h) Terms and Conditions of Loan Guarantees.--

     under this section shall pay a fee in an amount equal to 0.5 
     percent of the outstanding principal balance of the

       (i) Reports to Congress.--The Secretary of Commerce shall 
     submit to the Congress annually, a full report of the 
     activities of the Board under this section during fiscal

     period as any loan guaranteed under this section is 
     outstanding.
       (j) Salaries and Administrative Expenses.--For necessary 
     expenses to administer the Program, $5,000,000 is 
     appropriated to the Department of Commerce, to remain 
     available until expended, which may be transferred to the 
     Office of the Assistant Secretary for Trade Development of 
     the International Trade Administration.
       (k) Termination of Guarantee Authority.--The authority of

       (1) is designated by the Congress as an emergency 
     requirement pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A) of the Balanced 
     Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (2 U.S.C. 
     901(b)(2)(A)); and
       (2) shall be available only to the extent that an official 
     budget request that includes designation of the entire amount

       Sec. 1402. Petroleum Development Management. (a) Short 
     Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Emergency Oil and 
     Gas Guaranteed Loan Program Act''.
       (b) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) consumption of foreign oil in the United States is 
     estimated to equal 56 percent of all oil consumed, and that 
     percentage could reach 68 percent by 2010 if current prices 
     prevail;
       (2) the number of oil and gas rigs operating in the United 
     States is at its lowest since 1944, when records of this 
     tally began;
       (3) if prices do not increase soon, the United States could 
     lose at least half its marginal wells, which in aggregate 
     produce as much oil as the United States imports from Saudi 
     Arabia;
       (4) oil and gas prices are unlikely to increase for at 
     least several years;
       (5) declining production, well abandonment, and greatly 
     reduced exploration and development are shrinking the 
     domestic oil and gas industry;
       (6) the world's richest oil producing regions in the Middle 
     East are experiencing increasingly greater political 
     instability;
       (7) United Nations policy may make Iraq the swing oil 
     producing nation, thereby granting Saddam Hussein tremendous 
     power;
       (8) reliance on foreign oil for more than 60 percent of our 
     daily oil and gas consumption is a national security threat;
       (9) the level of United States oil security is directly 
     related to the level of domestic production of oil, natural 
     gas liquids, and natural gas; and
       (10) a national security policy should be developed that 
     ensures that adequate supplies of oil are available at all 
     times free of the threat of embargo or other foreign hostile 
     acts.

     company whose main business is providing tools, products, 
     personnel, and technical solutions on a contractual basis to

       Sec. 2322. Sense of the Senate: Expressing the Sense of the 
     Senate That a Pending Sale of Wheat and Other Agricultural 
     Commodities to Iran be Approved. (a) The Senate finds:
       (1) That an export license is pending for the sale of 
     United States wheat and other agricultural commodities to the 
     nation of Iran.
       (2) That this sale of agricultural commodities would 
     increase United States agricultural exports by about 
     $500,000,000, at a time when agricultural exports have fallen 
     dramatically.
       (3) That sanctions on food are counterproductive to the 
     interest of United States farmers and to the people who would 
     be fed by these agricultural exports.
       (b) Now therefore, it is the sense of the Senate that the 
     pending license for this sale of United States wheat and 
     other agricultural commodities to Iran be approved by the 
     administration.
       Sec. 2323. Prohibition. (a) Notwithstanding any other

       (1) promulgate as final regulations, or in any way 
     implement, the proposed regulations published on January 22, 
     1998, at 63 Fed. Reg. 3289; or
       (2) issue a notice of proposed rulemaking for, or 
     promulgate, or in any way implement, any similar regulations 
     to provide for procedures for gaming activities under the 
     Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.), in any 
     case in which a State asserts a defense of sovereign immunity 
     to a lawsuit brought by an Indian tribe in a Federal court 
     under section 11(d)(7) of that Act (25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(7)) to 
     compel the State to participate in compact negotiations for 
     class III gaming (as that term is defined in section 4(8) of 
     that Act (25 U.S.C. 2703(8))).
       (3) approve class III gaming on Indian lands by any means 
     other than a Tribal-State compact entered into between a 
     State and a tribe.
       (b) Definitions.--
       (1) The terms ``class III gaming'', ``Secretary'', ``Indian 
     lands'', and ``Tribal-State compact'' shall have the same 
     meaning for the purposes of this section as those terms have 
     under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (25 U.S.C. 2701 et 
     seq.).
       (2) The ``report of the National Gambling Impact Study 
     Commission'' is the report described in section 4(b) of 
     Public Law 104-169 (18 U.S.C. sec. 1955 note).
       Sec. 2324. Findings and Sense of Senate Regarding 
     Sequential Billing Policy for

[[Page S3560]]

     Home Health Payments Under the Medicare Program. (a) 
     Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
       (1) Section 4611 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 
     included a provision that transfers financial responsibility 
     for certain home health visits under the medicare program 
     under title XVIII of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395 
     et seq.) from part A to part B of such program.
       (2) The sole intent of the transfer described in paragraph 
     (1) was to extend the solvency of the Federal Hospital 
     Insurance Trust Fund under section 1817 of such Act (42 
     U.S.C. 1395i).
       (3) The transfer described in paragraph (1) was supposed to 
     be ``seamless'' so as not to disrupt the provision of home 
     health services under the medicare program.
       (4) The Health Care Financing Administration has imposed a 
     sequential billing policy that prohibits home health agencies 
     under the medicare program from submitting claims for 
     reimbursement for home health services provided to a 
     beneficiary unless all claims for reimbursement for home 
     health services that were previously provided to such 
     beneficiary have been completely resolved.
       (5) The Health Care Financing Administration has also 
     expanded medical reviews of claims for reimbursement 
     submitted by home health agencies, resulting in a significant 
     slowdown nationwide in the processing of such claims.
       (6) The sequential billing policy described in paragraph 
     (4), coupled with the slowdown in claims processing described 
     in paragraph (5), has substantially increased the cash flow 
     problems of home health agencies because payments are often 
     delayed by at least 3 months.
       (7) The vast majority of home health agencies under the 
     medicare program are small businesses that cannot operate 
     with significant cash flow problems.
       (8) There are many other elements under the medicare 
     program relating to home health agencies, such as the interim

     to home health agencies under the medicare program under 
     title XVIII of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395 et 
     seq.);
       (2) ensure that--
       (A) contract fiscal intermediaries under the medicare 
     program are timely in their random medical review of claims 
     for reimbursement submitted by home health agencies; and
       (B) such intermediaries adhere to Health Care Financing 
     Administration instructions that limit the number of claims 
     for reimbursement held for such review for any particular 
     home health agency to no more than 10 percent of the total 
     number of claims submitted by the agency; and
       (3) ensure that such intermediaries are considering and 
     implementing constructive alternatives, such as expedited 
     reviews of claims for reimbursement, for home health agencies 
     with no history of billing problems who have cash flow 
     problems due to random medical reviews and sequential 
     billing.
