     in inventories of home heating oil that are down 39 percent 
     from a year ago;

     past 12 months;

       This title may be cited as the ``Debt Reduction Act of 
     2000''.

     SEC. __02. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) fiscal discipline, resulting from the Balanced Budget 
     Act of 1997, and strong economic growth have ended decades of 
     deficit spending and have produced budget surpluses without 
     using the social security surplus;
       (2) fiscal pressures will mount in the future as the aging 
     of the population increases budget obligations;
       (3) until Congress and the President agree to legislation 
     that strengthens social security, the social security surplus 
     should be used to reduce the debt held by the public;
       (4) strengthening the Government's fiscal position through 
     public debt reduction increases national savings, promotes 
     economic growth, reduces interest costs, and is a 
     constructive way to prepare for the Government's future 
     budget obligations; and
       (5) it is fiscally responsible and in the long-term 
     national economic interest to use an additional portion of 
     the nonsocial security surplus to reduce the debt held by the 
     public.
       (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this title to--
       (1) reduce the debt held by the public with the goal of 
     eliminating this debt by 2013; and
       (2) decrease the statutory limit on the public debt.

     SEC. __03. ESTABLISHMENT OF PUBLIC DEBT REDUCTION PAYMENT 
                   ACCOUNT.

       (a) In General.--Subchapter I of chapter 31 of title 31, 
     United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the 
     following new section:

     ``Sec. 3114. Public debt reduction payment account

       ``(a) There is established in the Treasury of the United
