       Sec. 350. (a) Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Section 345 of the National Highway System Designation 
     Act of 1995 authorizes limited relief to drivers of certain 
     types of commercial motor vehicles from certain restrictions 
     on maximum driving time and on-duty time.
       (2) Subsection (c) of that section requires the Secretary 
     of Transportation to determine by rulemaking proceedings that 
     the exemptions granted are not in the public interest and 
     adversely affect the safety of commercial motor vehicles.
       (3) Subsection (d) of that section requires the Secretary 
     of Transportation to monitor the safety performance of 
     drivers of commercial motor vehicles who are subject to an 
     exemption under section 345 and report to Congress prior to 
     the rulemaking proceedings.
       (b) It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of 
     Transportation should not take any action that would diminish 
     or revoke any exemption in effect on the date of the 
     enactment of this Act for drivers of vehicles under section 
     345 of the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 
     (Public Law 104-59; 109 Stat. 613; 49 U.S.C. 31136 note)

       Sec. 343. Safety of Cross-Border Trucking Between United

     Act may be obligated or expended for the review or processing 
     of an application by a motor carrier for authority to operate 
     beyond United States municipalities and commercial zones on 
     the United States-Mexico border until--
       (1) the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration--
       (A)(i) requires a safety review of such motor carrier to be 
     performed before the carrier is granted conditional operating 
     authority to operate beyond United States municipalities and 
     commercial zones on the United States-Mexico border, and 
     before the carrier is granted permanent operating authority 
     to operate beyond United States municipalities and commercial 
     zones on the United States-Mexico border;
       (ii) requires the safety review to include verification of 
     available performance data and safety management programs, 
     including drug and alcohol testing, drivers' qualifications, 
     drivers' hours-of-service records, records of periodic 
     vehicle inspections, insurance, and other information 
     necessary to determine the carrier's preparedness to comply 
     with Federal motor carrier safety rules and regulations; and
       (iii) requires that every commercial vehicle operating 
     beyond United States municipalities and commercial zones on 
     the United States-Mexico border, that is operated by a motor 
     carrier authorized to operate beyond those municipalities and 
     zones, display a valid Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance 
     decal obtained as a result of a Level I North American 
     Standard Inspection, or a Level V Vehicle-Only Inspection, 
     whenever that vehicle is operating beyond such 
     municipalities and zones, and requires any such motor 
     carrier operating a vehicle in violation of this 
     requirement to pay a fine of up to $10,000 for such 
     violation;
       (B) establishes a policy that any safety review of such a 
     motor carrier should be conducted onsite at the motor 
     carrier's facilities where warranted by safety considerations 
     or the availability of safety performance data;
       (C) requires Federal and State inspectors, in conjunction 
     with a Level I North American Standard Inspection, to verify, 
     electronically or otherwise, the license of each driver of 
     such a motor carrier's commercial vehicle crossing the 
     border, and institutes a policy for random electronic 
     verification of the license of drivers of such motor 
     carrier's commercial vehicles at United States-Mexico border 
     crossings;
       (D) gives a distinctive Department of Transportation number 
     to each such motor carrier to assist inspectors in enforcing 
     motor carrier safety regulations, including hours-of-service 
     rules under part 395 of title 49, Code of Federal 
     Regulations;
       (E) requires State inspectors whose operations are funded 
     in part or in whole by Federal funds to check for violations 
     of Federal motor carrier safety laws and regulations, 
     including those pertaining to operating authority and 
     insurance;
       (F) authorizes State inspectors who detect violations of 
     Federal motor carrier safety laws or regulations to enforce 
     such laws and regulations or to notify Federal authorities of 
     such violations;
       (G)(i) determines that there is a means of determining the 
     weight of such motor carrier commercial vehicles at each 
     crossing of the United States-Mexico border at which there is 
     a sufficient number of such commercial vehicle crossings; and
       (ii) initiates a study to determine which crossings should 
     also be equipped with weigh-in-motion systems that would 
     enable State inspectors to verify the weight of each such 
     commercial vehicle entering the United States at such a 
     crossing;
       (H) has implemented a policy to ensure that no such motor 
     carrier will be granted authority to operate beyond United 
     States municipalities and commercial zones on the United 
     States-Mexico border unless that carrier provides proof of 
     valid insurance with an insurance company licensed in the 
     United States;
       (I) issues a policy--
       (i) requiring motor carrier safety inspectors to be on duty 
     during all operating hours at all United States-Mexico border 
     crossings used by commercial vehicles;
       (ii) with respect to standards for the determination of the 
     appropriate number of Federal and State motor carrier 
     inspectors for the United States-Mexico border (under 
     sections 218(a) and (b) of the Motor Carrier Safety 
     Improvement Act of 1999 (49 U.S.C. 31133) nt.)); and
       (iii) with respect to prohibiting foreign motor carriers 
     from operating in the United States that are found to have 
     operated illegally in the United States (under section 219(a) 
     of that Act (49 U.S.C. 14901 nt.)); and
       (J) completes its rulemaking--
       (i) to establish minimum requirements for motor carriers, 
     including foreign motor carriers, to ensure they are 
     knowledgeable about Federal safety standards (under section 
     210(b) of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 
     (49 U.S.C. 31144 nt.)),
       (ii) to implement measures to improve training and provide 
     for the certification of motor carrier safety auditors (under 
     section 31148 of title 49, United States Code), and
       (iii) to prohibit foreign motor carriers from leasing 
     vehicles to another carrier to transport products to the 
     United States while the lessor is subject to a suspension, 
     restriction, or limitation on its right to operate in the 
     United States (under section 219(d) of that Act (49 U.S.C. 
     14901 nt.)),

     or transmits to the Congress, within 30 days after the date 
     of enactment of this Act, a notice in writing that it will

     why it will not be able to complete the rulemaking, and that 
     states the date by which it expects to complete the 
     rulemaking; and
       (2) until the Department of Transportation Inspector 
     General certifies in writing to the Secretary of 
     Transportation and to the Senate Committee on Commerce, 
     Science, and Transportation, the Senate Committee on 
     Appropriations, the House of Representatives Committee on 
     Transportation and Infrastructure, and the House of 
     Representatives Committee on Appropriations that the 
     Inspector General will report in writing to the Secretary and 
     to each such Committee--
       (A) on the number of Federal motor carrier safety 
     inspectors hired, trained as safety specialists, and prepared 
     to be on duty during hours of operation fat the United 
     States-Mexico border by January 1, 2002;
       (B) periodically--
       (i) on the adequacy of the number of Federal and State 
     inspectors at the United States-Mexico border; and

[[Page S8246]]

       (ii) as to whether the Federal Motor Carrier Safety 
     Administration is ensuring compliance with hours-of-service 
     rules under part 395 of title 49, Code of Federal 
     Regulations, by such motor carriers;
       (iii) as to whether United States and Mexican enforcement 
     databases are sufficiently integrated and accessible to 
     ensure that licenses, vehicle registrations, and insurance 
     information can be verified at border crossings or by mobile 
     enforcement units; and
       (iv) as to whether there is adequate capacity at each 
     United States-Mexico border crossing used by motor carrier 
     commercial vehicles to conduct a sufficient number of vehicle 
     safety inspections and to accommodate vehicles placed out-of-
     service as a result of the inspections.

     In this section, the term ``motor carrier'' means a motor 
     carrier domiciled in Mexico that seeks authority to operate 
     beyond United States municipalities and commercial zones on 
     the United States-Mexico border.
       Provided, That notwithstanding any other provision of this 
     section, and consistent with United States obligations under

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE AND FINDINGS.

       (a) This Title can be cited as the `Iraq Petroleum Import 
     Restriction Act of 2001.'
       (b) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (i) the government of the Republic of Iraq:
       (A) has failed to comply with the terms of United Nations 
     Security Council Resolution 687 regarding unconditional Iraqi 
     acceptance of the destruction, removal, or rendering 
     harmless, under international supervision, of all nuclear, 
     chemical and biological weapons and all stocks of agents and 
     all related subsystems and components and all research, 
     development, support and manufacturing facilities, as well as 
     all ballistic missiles with a range greater than 150 
     kilometers and related major parts, and repair and production 
     facilities and has failed to allow United Nations inspectors 
     access to sites used for the production or storage of weapons 
     of mass destruction.
       (B) routinely contravenes the terms and conditions of UNSC 
     Resolution 661, authorizing the export of petroleum products 
     from Iraq in exchange for food, medicine and other 
     humanitarian products by conducting a routine and extensive 
     program to sell such products outside of the channels 
     established by UNSC Resolution 661 in exchange for military 
     equipment and materials to be used in pursuit of its program 
     to develop weapons of mass destruction in order to threaten 
     the United States and its allies in the Persian Gulf and 
     surrounding regions.
       (C) has failed to adequately draw down upon the amounts 
     received in the Escrow Account established by UNSC Resolution 
     986 to purchase food, medicine and other humanitarian 
     products required by its citizens, resulting in massive 
     humanitarian suffering by the Iraqi people.
       (D) conducts a periodic and systematic campaign to harass 
     and obstruct the enforcement of the United States and United 
     Kingdom-enforced ``No-Fly Zones'' in effect in the Republic 
     of Iraq.
       (E) routinely manipulates the petroleum export production 
     volumes permitted under UNSC Resolution 661 in order to 
     create uncertainty in global energy markets, and therefore 
     threatens the economic security of the United States.
       (ii) further imports of petroleum products from the 
     Republic of Iraq are inconsistent with the national security 
     and foreign policy interests of the United States and should 
     be eliminated until such time as they are not so 
     inconsistent.

     SEC. 2. PROHIBITION ON IRAQI-ORIGIN PETROLEUM IMPORTS.

       The direct or indirect import from Iraq of Iraqi-origin 
     petroleum and petroleum products is prohibited, 
     notwithstanding an authorization by the Committee established 
     by UNSC Resolution 661 or its designee, or any other order to 
     the contrary.

     SEC. 3. TERMINATION/PRESIDENTIAL CERTIFICATION.

       This Act will remain in effect until such time as the 
     President, after consultation with the relevant committees in 
     Congress, certifies to the Congress that:
       (a) the United States is not engaged in active military 
     operations in enforcing ``No-Fly Zones'' in Iraq, supporting 
     United Nations sanctions against Iraq, preventing the 
     smuggling by of Iraqi-origin petroleum and petroleum products 
     in violation of UNSC Resolution 986, complying with United 
     Nations Security Council Resolution 687 by eliminating 
     weapons of mass destruction, or otherwise preventing 
     threatening action by Iraq against the United States or its 
     allies; and
       (b) resuming the importation of Iraqi-origin petroleum and 
     petroleum products would not be inconsistent with the 
     national security and foreign policy interests of the United 
     States.

     SEC. 4. HUMANITARIAN INTERESTS.

       It is the sense of the Senate that the President should 
     make all appropriate efforts to

[[Page S8247]]

     ensure that the humanitarian needs of the Iraqi people are 
     not negatively affected by this Act, and should encourage 
     through public, private, domestic and international means the 
     direct or indirect sale, donation or other transfer to 
     appropriate non-governmental health and humanitarian 
     organizations and individuals within Iraq of food, medicine 
     and other humanitarian products.

     SEC. 5. DEFINITIONS.

       (a) ``661 Committee.'' The term 661 Committee means the 
     Security Council Committee established by UNSC Resolution 
     661, and persons acting for or on behalf of the Committee 
     under its specific delegation of authority for the relevant 
     matter or category of activity, including the overseers 
     appointed by the UN Secretary-General to examine and approve 
     agreements for purchases of petroleum and petroleum products 
     from the Government of Iraq pursuant to UNSC Resolution 986.
       (b) ``UNSC Resolution 661.'' The term UNSC Resolution 661 
     means United Nations Security Council Resolution No. 661,

  SA 1155. Mr. BROWNBACK submitted an amendment intended to be proposed 
by him to the bill S. 723, to amend the Public Health Service Act to 
provide for human embryonic stem cell generation and research; which 
was referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and 
Pensions, as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC. ____. PROHIBITION ON HUMAN CLONING.

       (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Human 
     Cloning Prohibition Act of 2001''.
       (b) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) some individuals have announced that they will attempt 
     to clone human beings using the technique known as somatic 
     cell nuclear transfer already used with limited success in 
     cloning sheep and other animals;
       (2) nearly all scientists agree that such attempts pose a 
     massive risk of producing children who are stillborn, 
     unhealthy, or severely disabled, and considered opinion is 
     virtually unanimous that such attempts are therefore grossly 
     irresponsible and unethical;
       (3) efforts to create human beings by cloning mark a new 
     and decisive step toward turning human reproduction into a 
     manufacturing process in which children are made in 
     laboratories to preordained specifications and, potentially, 
     in multiple copies;
       (4) creating cloned live-born human children (sometimes 
     called ``reproductive cloning'') begins by creating cloned 
     human embryos, a process which some also propose as a way to 
     create embryos for research or as sources of cells and 
     tissues for possible treatment of other humans;
       (5) the prospect of creating new human life solely to be 
     exploited and destroyed in this way has been condemned on 
     moral grounds by many, as displaying a profound disrespect 
     for life, and recent scientific advances indicate that there 
     are fruitful and morally unproblematic alternatives to this 
     approach;
       (6)(A) it will be nearly impossible to ban attempts at 
     ``reproductive cloning'' once cloned human embryos are 
     available in the laboratory because--
       (i) cloning would take place within the privacy of a 
     doctor-patient relationship;
       (ii) the transfer of embryos to begin a pregnancy is a 
     simple procedure; and
       (iii) any government effort to prevent the transfer of an 
     existing embryo, or to prevent birth once transfer has 
     occurred would raise substantial moral, legal, and practical 
     issues; and
       (B) so, in order to be effective, a ban on human cloning 
     must stop the cloning process at the beginning; and
       (7) collaborative efforts to perform human cloning are 
     conducted in ways that affect interstate and even 
     international commerce, and the legal status of cloning will 
     have a great impact on how biotechnology companies direct 
     their resources for research and development.
       (c) Prohibition on Human Cloning.--
       (1) In general.--Title 18, United States Code, is amended 
     by inserting after chapter 15, the following:

                      ``CHAPTER 16--HUMAN CLONING

``Sec.
``301. Definitions.
``302. Prohibition on human cloning.

     ``Sec. 301. Definitions

       ``In this chapter:
       ``(1) Human cloning.--The term `human cloning' means human 
     asexual reproduction, accomplished by introducing the nuclear 
     material of a human somatic cell into a fertilized or 
     unfertilized oocyte whose nucleus has been removed or 
     inactivated to produce a living organism (at any stage of 
     development) with a human or predominantly human genetic 
     constitution.
       ``(2) Somatic cell.--The term `somatic cell' means a 
     diploid cell (having a complete set of chromosomes) obtained 
     or derived from a living or deceased human body at any stage 
     of development.

     ``Sec. 302. Prohibition on human cloning

       ``(a) In General.--It shall be unlawful for any person or 
     entity, public or private, in or affecting interstate 
     commerce--
       ``(1) to perform or attempt to perform human cloning;
       ``(2) to participate in an attempt to perform human 
     cloning; or
       ``(3) to ship or receive the product of human cloning for 
     any purpose.
       ``(b) Importation.--It shall be unlawful for any person or 
     entity, public or private, to import the product of human 
     cloning for any purpose.
       ``(c) Penalties.--
       ``(1) In general.--Any person or entity that is convicted 
     of violating any provision of this section shall be fined 
     under this section or imprisoned not more than 10 years, or 
     both.
       ``(2) Civil penalty.--Any person or entity that is 
     convicted of violating any provision of this section shall be 
     subject to, in the case of a violation that involves the 
     derivation of a pecuniary gain, a civil penalty of not less 
     than $1,000,000 and not more than an amount equal to the 
     amount of the gross gain multiplied by 2, if that amount is 
     greater than $1,000,000.
       ``(d) Scientific Research.--Nothing in this section shall 
     restrict areas of scientific research not specifically 
     prohibited by this section, including research in the use of 
     nuclear transfer or other cloning techniques to produce 
     molecules, DNA, cells other than human embryos, tissues, 
     organs, plants, or animals other than humans.''.
       (2) Clerical amendment.--The table of chapters for part I 
     of title 18, United States Code, is amended by inserting 
     after the item relating to chapter 15 the following:

``16. Human Cloning..........................................301''.....

       (d) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Federal Government should advocate for and join an 
     international effort to prohibit human cloning, as defined in 
     section 301 of title 18, United States Code, as added by this 
     section; and
       (2) the President should commission a study, to be 
     conducted by the National Bioethics Advisory Commission or a 
     successor group, of the arguments for and against the use of 
     cloning to produce human embryos solely for research, which 
     study should--
       (A) include a discussion of the need (if any) for human 
     cloning to produce medical advances, the ethical and legal 
     aspects of human cloning, and the possible impact of any 
     decision to permit human cloning for research upon efforts to 
     prevent human cloning for reproductive purposes;
       (B) include a review of new developments in cloning 
     technology which may require that technical changes be made 
     to subsection (c), to maintain the effectiveness of this 
     section in prohibiting the asexual production of a new human 
     organism that is genetically virtually identical to an 
     existing or previously existing human being; and
       (C) be submitted to Congress and the President for review 
     not later than 5 years after the date of enactment of this 
     Act.
