          STATEMENTS ON INTRODUCED BILLS AND JOINT RESOLUTIONS

      By Mr. ENZI (for himself, Mr. Dorgan, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Daschle, 
        Mr. Thomas, and Mr. Conrad):
  S. 1044. A bill to amend the Packers and Stockyards Act, 1921, to 
prohibit the use of certain anti-competitive forward contracts; to the 
Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.
  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, we are having a crisis in the West. 
Actually, we are having a crisis anywhere that there are people who 
raise livestock. The crisis comes about as a result of neither fair 
trade nor free trade--in fact, the elimination of both. This bill is 
designed to make a correction in that. It is a clarification. I do not 
think the clarification would be necessary if enforcement were done, 
but this bill will clearly set out that a part of the problem can be 
solved.
  Part of the crisis that particularly the small farmers and ranchers 
who raise livestock have is the drought we are having in the West. We 
are in the fourth year of a drought right now. That is resulting in a 
lot of for sale and auction signs going up on ranches. This is partly 
because they are not getting the proper price for their product. It is 
a controlled market; it is not a free market.
  To bring it to a level that more people would understand, imagine 
trying to sell a house where the U.S. tradition might have changed so 
that everybody worked through a realtor, or at least 80 percent of the 
people worked through a realtor, and the realtor did not really show 
the house to other people. The realtor bought the house and then put it 
on the market themselves. The realtor had the capability to set the 
market price because of the other houses they owned.
  That is what is happening with captive supply. There are a lot of 
technicalities to it. I sincerely hope my colleagues will take a look 
at it and understand it a little bit. It is very difficult. It is very 
detailed. It is very complicated to understand, but it is very 
important to understand. It is important to understand on behalf of the 
ranchers and consumers.
  Now, one would think that if the price were being driven down for the 
rancher, those of us buying meat at the supermarket would get it for 
less. But if one tracks the price the ranchers are getting and the 
price the consumers are paying when the price goes down for the 
rancher, everything stays level for the consumer. So where is the money 
going? It is staying in the middle somewhere. We know where it is 
staying, and we know why it is staying, and it is control of the 
market. We do not usually allow that in the United States, but in this 
instance we allow it.
  So 80 percent of the market is controlled by four packers, and they 
set the price. They set it in a way that the rancher has no control 
over it whatsoever. So the ones suffering this drought and suffering 
all the risk are the ones receiving the least money from the entire 
process. We do not believe in that in America. My bill is designed to 
change that.
  Packers who practice price discrimination toward some producers and 
provide undue preferences to other producers are clearly in violation 
of the current law, but this law is not being enforced. What we are 
left with is unenforced laws or no laws at all to protect the 
independent producer. Since the Packers and Stockyards Act is not being 
enforced, and the cost to enforcing the law on a case-by-case basis in 
the courts is expensive and time consuming, today I propose the Senate 
take action.
  Most laws require enforcement. They are like speed limits on a 
country road. No one pays attention to the sign unless the driver is 
sharing the road with an agent of the law who will enforce it--like a 
police car. This section of the Packers and Stockyards Act is like a 
sign on the road of commerce that no one is paying any attention to 
because the police are too busy doing something else.
  The bill I am introducing today is not just another sign on the road, 
it is a speed bump. It does not just warn cars to go slower, it makes 
it more difficult for them to speed. Does it solve the whole problem? 
No, but it is one speed bump on the way to solving the problem.
  My bill does two things to create the speed bump. It requires that 
livestock producers have a fixed base price in their contracts. It also 
puts these contracts up for bid in the open market where they belong. 
Under this bill, forward contracts and marketing agreements must 
contain a fixed base price on the day the contract is signed. Now, in 
other businesses, that sounds like how we already operate. But it is 
not the way the packer operates. Producers are only given a contract 
that says they will get a certain dollar above the average at the time 
of the slaughter. And then if the person who controls the market drives 
the price down, the average can be well below what they ever 
anticipated it would be.
  Under this bill, forward contracts and marketing agreements must 
contain a fixed base price on the day the contract is signed. This 
prevents packers from manipulating the base price after the point of 
sale. You may hear allegations that this bill ends quality-driven 
production, but it does not prevent adjustments to the base price after 
slaughter for quality grade or other factors outside packer control. It 
prevents packers from changing the base price based on the factors they 
do control.
  Contracts that are based on the futures market are also exempted from 
the bill's requirements. In an open market, buyers and sellers would 
have the opportunity to bid against each other for contracts and could 
witness bids that are made and accepted. That would be pretty unique if 
they knew what the prices were on the products, particularly when it is 
captive supply. Whether they take the opportunity to bid or not is 
their choice. The key is they have the access to do so.
  I have worked on a number of bills and we have had success getting 
them through the Senate, and then the lobbying effort in conference 
knocks them out. That has sincerely convinced me there is a controlled 
market. Every attempt we make to provide a little speed bump is taken 
out and it is usually in conference. It usually passes the House, 
passes the Senate--not in identical form--but it has trouble in the 
conference committee. That is because there are a lot more lobbyists 
for the packers than there are for the small ranchers and livestock 
producers.

  My bill also limits the size of the contracts to the rough equivalent 
of a load of livestock, meaning 40 cattle or

[[Page S6079]]

30 swine. It does not limit the number of contracts that will be 
offered by any individual. This key portion prevents small- and medium-
sized livestock producers like those found in Wyoming from being shut 
out of deals containing thousands of livestock per contract. The more 
animals you have in the contract, the less likely it is that people can 
freely participate in the bidding process. It eliminates people.
  We are sticking a small number of animals in each contract, but lots 
of contracts will help us to arrive at a more fair price for the 
livestock. Requiring a firm base price and an open and transparent 
market ends the potential for price discrimination, price manipulation, 
and undue preferences, the things mentioned in that 1921 act.
  These are not the only benefits in my bill. It also preserves the 
very useful risk management tool that contracts provide to livestock 
producers. Contracts help producers plan and prepare for the future. My 
bill makes contracts and marketing agreements an even better risk 
management tool because it solidifies the base price for the producer. 
He is not guessing what he will sell it for; he has an exact price. 
Once the agreement is made, a producer can have confidence on shipping 
day in his ability to feed his family during the next year because he 
will know in advance how much he can expect to receive for his 
livestock.
  This bill also encourages electronic trading. An open and public 
market would function much like the stock market where insider trading 
is prohibited. The stock market provides a solid example of how 
electronic livestock trading can work to the benefit of everyone 
involved. For example, price discovery in an open and electronic market 
is automatic. We tried a number of things to get price discovery so 
that the producers out there would have an idea what the true market 
is, whether it is being bought from other producers or being bought out 
of the captive supply. Every attempt we have made has been thwarted. 
They have found ways to put little loopholes in regulations so they do 
not have to report prices. That is not fair. It does not provide an 
open market.
  Captive supply is still weighing on the minds and hurting the 
pocketbooks of ranchers in Wyoming and across the United States. 
Wyoming ranchers encourage me to keep up the good fight on this issue 
on every trip I make to my home State. I wish I had time to share some 
of the heartrending stories of the way they have been taken to the 
cleaners on these unique contracts they are forced to sign if they want 
to be able to sell their product.
  The economic soul of Wyoming is built on the foundation of small 
towns and small businesses. All livestock producers, even small and 
medium ones, should have a fair chance to compete in an honest game 
that allows them to get the best price possible for their product. We 
must do everything we can to keep our small producers in business and 
protect the consumers. If there was a fluctuation out here on the other 
end where the consumer is, we might not have quite the same concern, 
but the consumer is not getting the benefit of this fixed market. So we 
need to change the fixed market.
  We need to change captive supply. My bill removes one of the largest 
obstructions preventing livestock producers from competing, and that is 
formula price contracts. I ask my colleagues to assist me in giving 
their constituents and mine the chance to perform on a level playing 
field. It will help the economy of the entire United States. I ask for 
your help on this bill. We will be circulating some letters and further 
explanations so that we can have cosponsors; and pass the bill 
unanimously, I hope. I know that is a little difficult to obtain around 
here, but this is a very important issue and every State has livestock 
producers. It is time we took care of the livestock producers in a way 
that did not cost us a lot through enforcement.
  I would love to see improved enforcement. I know there are other 
priority issues on enforcement, particularly since September 11, so I 
have tried to bring a little speed bump to provide accurate pricing. I 
ask for your help on the bill.
  To reiterate:
  Whenever there is a crisis the media has always served to focus the 
Nation's attention on the problem and who has been affected by it. Then 
it has been up to us, in the Congress, to review the problem and 
determine whether or not there was anything we could do to ease the 
suffering and repair the damage to someone's property and their 
livelihood.
  Most of the time, when the media spots a crisis it is of such a 
magnitude that the pictures we see of the suffering are devastating and 
powerful. The images clearly cry out to us to take action and do what 
we can to restore, as much as possible, the lives of these people to 
normalcy.
  We have all seen in these past few days the pictures of the 
devastating tornadoes that have wreaked havoc wherever they have 
touched down. Story after story has appeared in print and on television 
showing property destroyed, places of business torn in pieces, jobs in 
jeopardy and lives forever changed by the fury of a few moments of 
severe weather. Tornadoes do not last a long time, but they leave a 
path of devastation in their wake that leaves those affected by it 
forever changed.
  Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of those who have been so 
affected and our hopes that they will be able to put their lives back 
together and go on as difficult as that will be to do.
  As we view the devastation of those tornadoes, there are those in my 
State who have seen their livelihoods drastically affected by weather 
and unfair market policy, but they have not been so visible to us 
because we have not seen their faces on the nightly news or read their 
stories in the national newspapers. That is because not everyone who 
has seen their livelihood so drastically affected can be portrayed with 
quite the same kind of powerful images that depict those who have been 
touched by the ravages of severe weather patterns. Some problems that 
destroy livelihoods and weaken industries are far more subtle and more 
difficult to track.
  Instead of being destroyed by a single blow, the industry I am 
referring to is being slowly put to death by the cruelest of methods--
thousands of small cuts brought on by the lethal combination of several 
years of drought, ambiguous regulations that are too easily taken 
advantage of and the lax enforcement of existing law which has allowed 
for the manipulation of the system to one group's advantage.
  Our Nation's ranching industry is in trouble, and, due to the slower 
pace with which it has been affected, the only stark images we will see 
of the intensity of the problem are the ``for sale'' or ``up for 
auction'' signs that acknowledge the closing of a family owned ranch 
and the end of a family's dream that lasted for generations as the land 
and the business was handed down for many, many years.
  Right now, as I speak, if you are a rancher in the West, you have two 
major problems affecting your ability to earn a living and provide for 
your family. The first is the continuing drought which has made it so 
difficult for ranchers to tend their cattle and provide them with good, 
affordable grazing.
  The second is a regulatory nightmare that has held livestock 
producers captive by the chains of unfair and manipulative contracts. 
It is this regulatory nightmare that must be addressed, and which 
brings me to the floor today as I offer legislation to break the chains 
and require livestock contracts to contain a fixed base price and be 
traded in open, public markets.

  So, what is this regulation that is destroying the health of our 
family ranchers? It's a practice called ``captive supply,'' a business 
practice not well known to those outside of the industry, but a 
practice that has had a tremendous impact on the ranchers of the West.
  If you have not heard about the problem, I must point out that our 
ranchers have tried to bring it to our attention, but we have not fully 
focused on their needs. Whenever I travel to Wyoming, or hold a town 
meeting, or go over the week's mail that I receive from my 
constituents, I hear the cries for help from our ranchers in Wyoming, 
and throughout the West. One by one, and without exception, they are 
all clamoring for attention and relief so they can continue the work 
that so many in their family have done for so many years.
  I could bring a stack of letters that come from people all across my 
State

[[Page S6080]]

about the problems they face. But, in the interest of time, I will read 
a small excerpt from one that will give you an idea of how bad things 
are in the ranching industry as our ranchers try to deal with captive 
supply.
  A letter I received from a rancher in Lingle said that the issue of 
captive supply needed to be reviewed and addressed because it was 
``slowly but surely putting small farmers/feeders out of business.'' He 
then added:

       Until the existing laws are enforced in this area of 
     illegal activities, all other plans or laws will be of very 
     little consequence.

  So what is captive supply and how is it harming our Nation's ranchers 
to such an extent? Simply put, captive supply refers to the ownership 
by meat packers of cattle or the contracts they issue to purchase 
livestock. It is done to ensure that packers will always have a 
consistent supply of livestock for their slaughterlines.
  The original goal of captive supply makes good business sense. All 
businesses want to maintain a steady supply of animals to ensure a 
constant stream of production and control costs.
  But captive supply allows packers to go beyond good organization and 
business performance--to market manipulation--and this is where the 
problem lies.
  The packing industry is highly concentrated. Four companies control 
more than half of all U.S. hog slaughter and more than 80 percent of 
U.S. fed cattle slaughter. Using captive supply and the market power of 
concentration, packers can purposefully drive down the prices by 
refusing to buy in the open market. This deflates all livestock prices 
and limits the market access of producers that have not aligned with 
specific packers.
  We made an attempt to address the problem of captive supply on the 
Senate floor, but the amendment to ban packer ownership of livestock 
more than 14 days before slaughter did not survive the conference 
committee on the farm bill. However, the problems caused by captive 
supplies are alive and well, just as Wyoming producers have testified 
to me in the phone calls, letters, faxes and emails I receive from 
them. Although I supported the packer ban and still do, I do not think 
that banning packer ownership of livestock will solve the entire 
captive supply problem. Packers are using numerous methods beyond 
direct ownership to control cattle and other livestock.
  Currently, packers maintain captive supply through various means 
including direct ownership, forward contracts, and marketing 
agreements. The difference between the three is subtle, so let me take 
a moment to describe how they differ. Direct ownership refers to 
livestock owned by the packer. In forward contracts, producers agree to 
the delivery of cattle one week or more before slaughter with the price 
determined before slaughter. Forward contracts are typically fixed, 
meaning the base price is set.
  As with forward contracts, marketing agreements also call for the 
delivery of livestock more than one week before slaughter, but the 
price is determined at or after slaughter. A formula pricing method is 
commonly used for cattle sold under marketing agreements. In formula 
pricing, instead of a fixed base price, an external reference price, 
such as the average price paid for cattle at a certain packing plant 
during one week, is used to determine the base price of the cattle. I 
find this very disturbing because the packer has the ability to 
manipulate the weekly average at a packing plant by refusing to buy in 
the open market. Unfortunately, marketing agreements and formula 
pricing are much more common than forward contracts.
  In fact, the data published by USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service 
indicates that in the first week of May 2003, 39,149 of the cattle 
slaughtered were sold through a forward contract. By comparison, 
207,955 of the cattle slaughtered were marketed through formula pricing 
marketing agreements. Packers were using five times as many formula 
pricing marketing agreements as forward contracts to purchase their 
slaughter cattle. As we can see, packers use more marketing agreements 
because of the advantages those ambiguous contracts give them over 
producers.
  In the same week, 36,899 of the cattle slaughtered were directly 
owned by packers. These numbers demonstrate that the problem of captive 
supply is far more extensive than just packer ownership. In the first 
week of May, packer owned cattle only comprised 13 percent of captive 
cattle slaughtered. This is why we must act to solve the entire captive 
supply problem.
  I realize it may be difficult to grasp the seriousness of the 
situation if you are not familiar with the cattle market. Most of us 
have not signed a contract to sell a load of livestock, but many of us 
have sold a house. To illustrate the seriousness of the problem, let's 
explore how you would sell a house using a formula-priced contract in a 
market structured like the current livestock market.
  It is May, and you know you will be selling your home in September. 
As a wise seller, you want to find a buyer for your home before that 
time. It turns out that other people do not really buy homes from each 
other anymore. In fact, four main companies have taken over 80 percent 
of all real estate transactions. You really have no choice but to deal 
with one of these companies.
  One of them offers you a contract, stating you will receive $10,000 
over the average price of what other, similar homes are selling for in 
your area in September. To manage your risk and ensure a buyer, you 
have just been practically forced to sign a contract that doesn't 
specify how much you will receive for your house.
  That tingle of fear in the pit of your stomach becomes full-fledged 
panic when you close the deal in September. You see, the four real 
estate companies have been planning ahead. They decide to pull away 
from the market. All the homes selling in September that are not 
contracted to the companies flood the market and the price for homes in 
your area drops $12,000. By trying to manage your risk, you sold your 
home for $2,000 below average.
  As a homeowner, you would be outraged, wouldn't you? You would want 
to know why anyone had the ability to legally take advantage of you. 
Livestock producers have the same questions when they lose to the 
market pressures applied by captive supply. Captive supply gives 
packers the ability to discriminate against some producers. And those 
producers pay for it with their bottom line. At the same time, packers 
use contracts and marketing agreements to give privileged access and 
premiums to other producers regardless of the quality of their product. 
These uses of captive supply should be illegal. In fact, they are.
  Section 202 of the Packers and Stockyards Act states in (3) (a) and 
(b):

       It shall be unlawful for any packer with respect to 
     livestock . . . to:
       (a) Engage in or use any unfair, unjustly discriminatory, 
     or deceptive practice or device; or
       (b) Make or give any undue or unreasonable preference or 
     advantage to any particular person or locality in any 
     respect, or subject any particular person or locality to any 
     undue or unreasonable prejudice or disadvantage in any 
     respect.

  Packers who practice price discrimination toward some producers and 
provide undue preferences to other producers are clearly in violation 
of the law. But this law is not being enforced. So what we are left 
with are unenforced laws or no laws at all to protect the independent 
producer. Since the Packers and Stockyards Act is not being enforced 
and the cost of enforcing the law on a case-by-case basis in the courts 
is expensive and time-consuming, today I propose that the Senate take 
action.
  Most laws require enforcement. They are like speed limits on a 
country road. No one pays the sign any attention unless the driver is 
sharing the road with an agent of the law who will enforce it--like a 
police car. This section of the Packers and Stockyards Act is like a 
sign on the road of commerce that no one is paying attention to because 
the police are busy doing something else. The bill I am introducing 
today is not just another sign on the road. It is a speed bump. It does 
not just warn cars to go slower, it makes it much more difficult for 
them to speed.
  My bill does two things to create the speed bump. It requires that 
livestock producers have a fixed base price in their contracts. It also 
puts these contracts up for bid in the open market where they belong.
  Under this bill, forward contracts and marketing agreements must 
contain a fixed, base price on the day the contract is signed. This 
prevents packers from manipulating the base price

[[Page S6081]]

after the point of sale. You may hear allegations that this bill ends 
quality-driven production, but it does not prevent adjustments to the 
base price after slaughter for quality, grade or other factors outside 
packer control. It prevents packers from changing the base price based 
on factors that they do control. Contracts that are based on the 
futures market are also exempted from the bill's requirements.
  In an open market, buyers and sellers would have the opportunity to 
bid against each other for contracts and could witness bids that are 
made and accepted. Whether they take the opportunity to bid or not is 
their choice, the key here is that they have access to do so.
  My bill also limits the size of contracts to the rough equivalent of 
a load of livestock, meaning 40 cattle or 30 swine. It does not limit 
the number of contracts that can be offered by an individual. This key 
portion prevents small and medium-sized livestock producers, like those 
found in Wyoming, from being shut out of deals that contain thousands 
of livestock per contract.
  Requiring a firm base price and an open and transparent market ends 
the potential for price discrimination, price manipulation and undue 
preferences. These are not the only benefits of my bill. It also 
preserves the very useful risk management tool that contracts provide 
to livestock producers. Contracts help producers plan and prepare for 
the future. My bill makes contracts and marketing agreements an even 
better risk management tool because it solidifies the base price for 
the producer. Once the agreement is made, a producer can have 
confidence on shipping day in his ability to feed his family during the 
next year because he will know in advance how much he can expect to 
receive for his livestock.
  This bill also encourages electronic trading. An open and public 
market would function much like the stock market, where insider trading 
is prohibited. The stock market provides a solid example of how 
electronic livestock trading can work to the benefit of everyone 
involved. For example, price discovery in an open and electronic market 
is automatic.
  Captive supply is still weighing on the minds and hurting the 
pocketbooks of ranchers in Wyoming and across the United States. 
Wyoming ranchers encourage me to keep up the good fight on this issue 
on every trip I make to my home State. The economic soul of Wyoming is 
built on the foundation of small towns and small businesses. All 
livestock producers, even small and medium-sized ones, should have a 
fair chance to compete in an honest game that allows them to get the 
best price possible for their product. We must do everything we can to 
keep our small producers in business.
  My bill removes one of the largest obstructions preventing livestock 
producers from competing--formula-priced contracts. I ask my colleagues 
to assist me in giving their constituents and mine the chance to 
perform on a level playing field.
  I yield the floor.
                                 ______
                                 
      By Mr. AKAKA (for himself and Mr. Bingaman):
  S. 1045. A bill to strengthen United States capabilities to safely 
and securely dispose of all greater-than-Class C low-level radioactive 
waste; to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
  Mr. AKAKA. Mr. President, I rise to introduce the Low-Level 
Radioactive Waste Act of 2003. I am pleased that the Ranking Member of 
the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Senator Bingaman, is a 
cosponsor of this important legislation. Our bill will address the 
efforts made by the Department of Energy, DOE, to recover and dispose 
of thousands of domestic Greater-than-Class-C, GTCC, radiological 
sources. These have the highest radiation levels and, in general, pose 
the greatest concern in terms of being used in a so-called ``dirty 
bomb.''
  Since September 11, we have faced the possibility that a terrorist 
could use a dirty bomb in an attack in the United States. A dirty bomb 
combines conventional explosives with highly radioactive materials. 
When exploded, it would disperse the radioactive materials, reducing 
the impact from radiation. But, if set off in the downtown of a major 
city, it could still contaminate a wide area with radiation, cause 
death and destruction due to the explosion, and panic and substantial 
economic damage could result. It is not surprising that the Department 
of Homeland Security has chosen as one of its training scenarios a 
simulated ``dirty bomb'' attack on an American city.
  Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham told an International Atomic 
Energy Agency conference in March, ``Radioactive sources can be found 
all over the world, and terrorist are seeking to acquire them.'' CIA 
Director George Tenet told Congress in February that he was concerned 
about Al Qaeda's attempts to build a dirty bomb. He said, 
``construction of such a device is well within Al Qaeda capabilities--
if it can obtain the radiological material.''
  Radiological sources are used widely in industry, agriculture, 
medicine, and research. Appropriately, Secretary Abraham has made it 
priority for the Department of Energy to help other countries secure 
their radiological sources. But as the United States works 
internationally to secure dangerous radiological sources, we also must 
be sure our own house is in order.
  As chairman of the International Security Subcommittee of the Senate 
Government Affairs Committee, I held hearings in the fall of 2001 that 
covered the threat posed by dirty bombs. I also requested that GAO 
examine U.S. efforts to secure radioactive sources within the United 
States.
  GAO recently finished their inquiry, and I am sorry to report that 
GAO found our house is not in order. Many of you may have seen the 
report on NBC Nightly News last night that featured GAO's 
investigation.
  GAO's report shows that not only the former Soviet Union, but also 
the United States does not keep track of or account for its radioactive 
sources in a reliable manner. There is not a precise count of GTCC 
sources in the United States. Some quarter to half a million are 
estimated to exist. Some 24,000 new GTCC sources are being produced 
each year.
  A central issue is what is being done with unwanted radioactive 
devices. We don't have an accurate account of unwanted devices in this 
country, and the program for recovering and securing them is proceeding 
too slowly.
  In 1985, Congress authorized DOE to provide a facility for disposing 
of GTCC waste, including GTCC sealed radiological sources that were no 
longer wanted by their owners. GAO found that after 18 years, DOE still 
has not developed a facility for storing GTCC wastes.
  DOE assumes a facility for receiving GTCC sealed sources will be 
available by FY 2007. But DOE has not taken serious steps to insure 
this facility will be built.
  Instead, DOES has an interim program for collecting and holding 
unwanted radiological sources. In 1999, DOE created an Off-site Source 
Recovery Project, or OSR, in the Office of Environmental Management for 
these purposes.
  The OSR Project has recovered about 5,3000 sealed sources. Another 
4,400 sources, held by 328 different owners across the United States, 
are known to be in need of recovery. DOE estimates a further 4,600 
sources will need to be recovered by 2010, when the OSR Project is 
scheduled to end because the permanent storage facility should be 
operating.
  Thousands more sources, however, will need to be recovered outside 
the OSR project once a depository opens.
  Every State in the Union has radioactive sources that need to be 
recovered, according to the GAO report. States with more than a 100 
sources to be recovered include Arizona, California, Illinois, 
Maryland, New York, and Texas. Another 25 States have between 10 and 
100 sources to be recovered.
  The GAO report notes that many of these are small sources with small 
amounts of radiation but hundreds are larger sources with large amounts 
of radioactivity.
  Alarmingly, the question of dirty bombs aside, there are almost two 
nuclear bombs worth of unwanted plutonium-239 sources that DOE cannot 
recover because they lack storage space. GAO reports that universities 
that have this material want to give it up, but cannot, because the DOE 
does not have the space to store them.
  We are concerned that the program to recover, secure, and store GTCC 
radiological sources is not receiving the

[[Page S6082]]

priority it deserves. The disposal of thousands of radiological sources 
must be addressed. But DOE will not be prepared to dispose of these 
sources permanently in the next seven years because DOE has not 
identified the type of facility or provided a cost estimate and time-
line for its construction.
  This bill will address these concerns. To insure the permanent 
disposal program gets the attention it needs within DOE, our 
legislation requires DOE to designate a responsibility entity within 
DOE to develop a facility for disposal of GTCC wastes.
  It also requires the DOE to report to Congress on the current 
situation and future plans for the disposal of GTCC radioactive waste. 
After the completion of this report, the DOE must submit to Congress a 
report on the cost and schedule to complete an environment impact 
statement and record of decision on a permanent disposal facility for 
GTCC radioactive wastes. Finally, before the year is out, DOE must 
deliver to Congress a plan to provide for the short-term recovery of 
the GTCC radioactive waste until a permanent facility is available.
  I am also concerned that the short-term Offsite Source Recovery 
Project may lack the funding required to ensure that all designated 
radiological sources are safety and securely recovered in a timely 
manner. The program apparently will be funded adequately through the 
end of FY04. The FY02 emergency supplemental budget provided ten 
millions dollars, and the President requested about two millions 
dollars in his FY04 budget proposal. But I caution Congress to keep an 
eye on this program to guarantee sufficient funds are requested in the 
FY05 budget when it is submitted to Congress next year.
  Thousands of sealed sources await disposal, some requiring security 
measures greater than those in place at current storage sites. The 
problem posed by these sources will not go away by itself. Universities 
and industry do not have the means or facilities to secure these 
materials and are asking the federal government for help.
  When the United States began non-proliferation efforts in the former 
Soviet Union, one of the first jobs was to begin consolidating nuclear 
weapons and fissile materials in secure facilities to await disposal or 
destruction. As Secretary Abraham has said, due to worries about 
terrorists acquiring dirty bombs, the DOE now is working to secure 
radiological sources overseas.
  I support these efforts. The bill Senator Bingaman and I have 
introduced will give radiological sources and waste on American soil 
the same consideration. Collecting and securing these sources was once 
a matter of public safety. It is now a national security concern that 
deserves the attention of Congress.
  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. 1045

       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 ``Low-Level Radioactive Waste 
     Act of 2003''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) section 3(b)(1)(D) of the Low-Level Radioactive Waste 
     Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 2021c(b)(1)(D)) requires the Secretary 
     of Energy to safely dispose of all greater-than-Class C low-
     level radioactive waste (as defined in section 61.55 of title 
     10, Code of Federal Regulations);
       (2) the Offsite Source Recovery Program, established by the 
     Department of Energy to recover and store sources of such 
     waste, is scheduled to cease operation by September 30, 2010;
       (3) the Department of Energy estimates that about 14,000 
     sealed sources of such waste will become unwanted and will 
     have to be disposed of through the Offsite Source Recovery 
     Program by that date;
       (4)(A) in February 1987 the Secretary of Energy submitted 
     to Congress a comprehensive report making recommendations for 
     ensuring the safe disposal of all greater-than-Class C low-
     level radioactive waste; and
       (B) 16 years later, it is likely that the information 
     contained in the report is no longer current and does not 
     reflect the new security threat environment;
       (5) the Department of Energy--
       (A) does not have the resources or storage facility to 
     recover and store all unwanted sources of greater-than-Class 
     C low-level radioactive waste; and
       (B) has not identified a permanent disposal facility;
       (6) it is unlikely that a permanent disposal facility will 
     be operational by the time that the Offsite Source Recovery 
     Program ceases operation;
       (7) the initial steps in developing a disposal facility 
     (including preparation of an environmental impact statement 
     and issuance of a record of decision) could take several 
     years and will require dedicated funding to complete; and
       (8) before a final decision on the disposal alternative to 
     be implemented is made, Congress must have an opportunity to 
     review the alternatives under consideration and provide 
     input.

     SEC. 3. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY RESPONSIBILITIES

      By Mr. STEVENS (for himself, Mr. Hollings, Mr. Burns, Mr. Lott, 
        Mr. Dorgan, and Mr. Wyden):
  S. 1046. A bill to amend the Communications Act of 1934 to preserve 
localism, to foster and promote the diversity of television 
programming, to foster and promote competition, and to prevent 
excessive concentration of ownership of the nation's television 
broadcast stations; to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and 
Transportation.
  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the text of 
the bill be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the text of the bill was ordered to be 
printed in the Record, as follows:

                                S. 1046

       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 ``Preservation of Localism, 
     Program Diversity, and Competition in Television Broadcast 
     Service Act of 2003''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS; PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:

[[Page S6083]]

       (1) The principle of localism is embedded in the 
     Communications Act in section 307(b) of the Communications 
     Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 307(b)). It has been the pole star for 
     regulation of the broadcast industry by the Federal 
     Communications Commission for nearly 70 years.
       (2) In the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Congress 
     directed the Federal Communications Commission to increase 
     the limitations on national multiple television ownership so 
     that one party could not own or control television stations 
     whose aggregate national audience reach exceeded 35 percent. 
     Congress did so because it recognized that--
       (A) further national concentration could not be undone;
       (B) other regulatory changes, such as the repeal by the 
     Commission of its financial and syndication regulations, 
     would heighten the power of the national television networks; 
     and
       (C) the independence of non-network-owned stations would be 
     threatened if network ownership exceeded 35 percent.
       (3) If a limit to the national audience reach of television 
     stations that one party may own or control is not codified at 
     this time--
       (A) further national concentration may occur whose 
     pernicious effects may be difficult to eradicate; and
       (B) the independence of non-network-owned stations will be 
     threatened, placing local stations in danger of becoming mere 
     passive conduits for network transmissions.
       (4) A cap on national multiple television ownership will 
     help preserve localism by limiting the networks ability to 
     dictate programming aired on local stations.
       (5) The landscape of national ownership has changed 
     dramatically over the past two decades since the time when 
     the networks were limited to owning just seven television 
     stations nationwide:
       (A) the Commissions financial and syndication regulations 
     have been repealed;
       (B) the networks can own more than one television station 
     in many local markets;
       (C) the networks have embraced programming ventures from 
     studios to syndication to foreign sales; and
       (D) the networks own the most popular cable and Internet 
     content businesses.

     Together these changes have strengthened the networks hands 
     and given them strong incentives to override local interests.
       (6) Unlike non-network-owned stations which are only 
     concerned with local viewers, network-owned stations have 
     multiple interests they must consider: national advertising 
     interests, syndicated programming interests, foreign sales 
     interests, cable programming interests, and, lastly, local 
     station interests.
       (7) The possibility of further nationalization threatens 
     the current give-and-take between non-network-owned 
     affiliates and networks which can result in programming being 
     edited, scheduled, or promoted in ways that are more 
     appropriate for local audiences.
       (8) As network power has grown in recent years, the 
     networks have forced affiliation agreements to tilt the 
     balance of power even more in their favor. Contract 
     provisions encroach on the ability of non-network-owned 
     affiliates to reject programming that local stations 
     determine not to be in the best interests of their local 
     communities, and local stations are penalized for 
     unauthorized preemptions (as determined by the network) and 
     for exceeding preemption baskets.
       (9) This Act will help to preserve localism in and to 
     prevent the further nationalization of the television 
     broadcast service.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
       (1) to promote the values of localism in the television 
     broadcast service;
       (2) to promote diversity of television programming and 
     viewpoints;
       (3) to promote competition; and
       (4) to prevent excessive concentration of ownership by 
     establishing a limit to the national audience reach of the 
     television stations that any one party may own or control.

     SEC. 3. NATIONAL TELEVISION MULTIPLE OWNERSHIP LIMITATIONS.

       (a) Establishment of National Television Multiple Ownership 
     Limitations.--Part I of Title III of the Communications Act 
     of 1934 is amended by inserting after section 339 (47 U.S.C. 
     339) the following new section:

     ``SEC. 340. NATIONAL TELEVISION MULTIPLE OWNERSHIP 
                   LIMITATIONS.

       ``(a) National Audience Reach Limitation.--The Commission 
     shall not permit any license for a commercial television 
     broadcast station to be granted, transferred, or assigned to 
     any party (including all parties under common control) if the 
     grant, transfer, or assignment of such license would result 
     in such party or any of its stockholders, partners, or 
     members, officers, or directors, directly or indirectly, 
     owning, operating or controlling, or having a cognizable 
     interest in television stations which have an aggregate 
     national audience reach exceeding 35 percent.
       ``(b) No Grandfathering.--The Commission shall require any 
     party (including all parties under common control) that holds 
     licenses for commercial television broadcast stations in 
     excess of the limitation contained in subsection (a) to 
     divest itself of such licenses as may be necessary to come 
     into compliance with such limitation within one year after 
     the date of enactment of this section.
       ``(c) Section Not Subject to Forbearance.--Section 10 of 
     this Act shall not apply to the requirements of this section.
       ``(d) Definitions.--
       ``(1) National audience reach.--The term `national audience 
     reach' means--
       ``(A) the total number of television households in the 
     Nielsen Designated Market Area (DMA) markets in which the 
     relevant stations are located, or as determined under a 
     successor measure adopted by the Commission to delineate 
     television markets for purposes of this section; divided by
       ``(B) the total national television households as measured 
     by such DMA data (or such successor measure) at the time of a 
     grant, transfer, or assignment of a license.

     No market shall be counted more than once in making this 
     calculation.
       ``(2) Cognizable interest.--Except as may otherwise be 
     provided by regulation by the Commission, the term 
     `cognizable interest' means any partnership or direct 
     ownership interest and any voting stock interest amounting to 
     5 percent or more of the outstanding voting stock of a 
     licensee.''.
       (b) Conforming Amendment.--Section 202(c)(1) of the 
     Telecommunications Act of 1934 (P.L. 104-104; 110 Stat. 111) 
     is amended--
       (1) by striking ``its regulations'' and all that follows 
     through ``by eliminating'' and inserting ``its regulations 
     (47 CFR 73.3555) by eliminating'';
       (2) by striking ``; and'' at the end of subparagraph (A) 
     and inserting a period; and
       (3) by striking subparagraph (B).
                                 ______

     such alternative pay adjustments as the President considers 
     appropriate, together with the reasons therefor.

     SEC. 924. INTEGRATION OF DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE, SURVEILLANCE, 
                   AND RECONNAISSANCE CAPABILITIES

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) As part of transformation efforts within the Department 
     of Defense, each of the Armed Forces is developing 
     intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities 
     that best support future war fighting as envisioned by the 
     leadership of the military department concerned.
       (2) Concurrently, intelligence agencies of the Department 
     of Defense outside the military departments are developing 
     transformation roadmaps to best support the future 
     decisionmaking and war fighting needs of their principal 
     customers, but are not always closely coordinating those 
     efforts with the intelligence, surveillance, and 
     reconnaissance development efforts of the military 
     departments.
       (3) A senior official of each military department has been 
     designated as the integrator of intelligence, surveillance, 
     and reconnaissance for each of the Armed Forces in such 
     military department, but there is not currently a well-
     defined forum where the integrators of intelligence, 
     surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities for each of the 
     Armed Forces can routinely interact with each other and with 
     senior representatives of Department of Defense intelligence 
     agencies, as well as with other members of the intelligence 
     community, to ensure unity of effort and to preclude 
     unnecessary duplication of effort.
       (4) The current funding structure of a National Foreign 
     Intelligence Program (NFIP), Joint Military Intelligence 
     Program (JMIP), and Tactical Intelligence and Related 
     Activities Program (TIARA) might not be the best approach for 
     supporting the development of an intelligence, surveillance, 
     and reconnaissance structure that is integrated to meet the 
     national security requirements of the United States in the 
     21st century.
       (5) The position of Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Intelligence was established in 2002 by Public Law 107-314 in 
     order to facilitate resolution of the challenges to achieving 
     an integrated intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance 
     structure in the Department of Defense to meet such 21st 
     century requirements.
       (b) Goal.--It shall be a goal of the Department of Defense 
     to fully coordinate and integrate the intelligence, 
     surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities and 
     developmental activities of the military departments, 
     intelligence agencies of the Department of Defense, and 
     relevant combatant commands as those departments, agencies, 
     and commands transform their intelligence, surveillance, and 
     reconnaissance systems to meet current and future needs.
       (c) Requirement.--(1) The Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Intelligence shall establish an Intelligence, Surveillance, 
     and Reconnaissance Integration Council to provide a permanent 
     forum for the discussion and arbitration of issues relating 
     to the integration of intelligence, surveillance, and 
     reconnaissance capabilities.
       (2) The Council shall be composed of the senior 
     intelligence officers of the Armed Forces and the United 
     States Special Operations Command, the Director of Operations 
     of the Joint Staff, and the directors of the intelligence 
     agencies of the Department of Defense.
       (3) The Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence shall 
     invite the participation of the Director of Central 
     Intelligence or his representative in the proceedings of the 
     Council.
       (d) ISR Integration Roadmap.--The Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Intelligence, in consultation with the 
     Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Integration 
     Council and the Director of Central Intelligence, shall 
     develop a comprehensive Defense Intelligence, Surveillance, 
     and Reconnaissance Integration Roadmap to guide the 
     development and integration of the Department of Defense 
     intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities 
     for 15 years.
       (e) Report.--(1) Not later than September 30, 2004, the 
     Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence shall submit to 
     the committees of Congress specified in paragraph (2) a 
     report on the Defense Intelligence, Surveillance, and 
     Reconnaissance Integration Roadmap developed under subsection 
     (d). The report shall include the following matters:
       (A) The fundamental goals established in the roadmap.
       (B) An overview of the intelligence, surveillance, and 
     reconnaissance integration activities of the military 
     departments and the intelligence agencies of the Department 
     of Defense.
       (C) An investment strategy for achieving--
       (i) an integration of Department of Defense intelligence, 
     surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities that ensures 
     sustainment of needed tactical and operational efforts; and
       (ii) efficient investment in new intelligence, 
     surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities.
       (D) A discussion of how intelligence gathered and analyzed 
     by the Department of Defense can enhance the role of the 
     Department of Defense in fulfilling its homeland security 
     responsibilities.
       (E) A discussion of how counterintelligence activities of 
     the Armed Forces and the Department of Defense intelligence 
     agencies can be better integrated.
       (F) Recommendations on how annual funding authorizations 
     and appropriations can be optimally structured to best 
     support the development of a fully integrated Department of 
     Defense intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance 
     architecture.
       (2) The committees of Congress referred to in paragraph (1) 
     are as follows:
       (A) The Committee on Armed Services, the Committee on 
     Appropriations, and the Select Committee on Intelligence of 
     the Senate.
       (B) The Committee on Armed Services, the Committee on 
     Appropriations, and the Permanent Select Committee on 
     Intelligence of the House of Representatives.

                       Subtitle D--Other Matters

     SEC. 1031. BLUE FORCES TRACKING INITIATIVE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) For military commanders, a principal purpose of 
     technology is to enable the commanders to ascertain the 
     location of the units in their commands in near real time.

[[Page S6117]]

       (2) Each of the Armed Forces is developing and testing a 
     variety of technologies for tracking friendly forces (known 
     as ``blue forces'').
       (3) Situational awareness of blue forces has been much 
     improved since the 1991 Persian Gulf War, but blue forces 
     tracking remains a complex problem characterized by 
     information that is incomplete, not fully accurate, or 
     untimely.
       (4) Casualties in recent warfare have declined, but 
     casualties associated with friendly fire incidents have 
     remained relatively constant.
       (5) Despite significant investment, a coordinated, 
     interoperable plan for tracking blue forces throughout a 
     United States or coalition forces theater of operations has 
     not been developed.
       (b) Goal.--It shall be a goal of the Department of Defense 
     to fully coordinate the various efforts of the Joint Staff, 
     the commanders of the combatant commands, and the military 
     departments to develop an effective blue forces tracking 
     system.
       (c) Joint Blue Forces Tracking Experiment.--(1) The 
     Secretary of Defense, through the Commander of the United 
     States Joint Forces Command, shall carry out a joint 
     experiment in fiscal year 2004 to demonstrate and evaluate 
     available joint blue forces tracking technologies.
       (2) The objectives of the experiment are as follows:
       (A) To explore various options for tracking United States 
     and other friendly forces during combat operations.
       (B) To determine an optimal, achievable, and ungradable 
     solution for the development, acquisition, and fielding of a 
     system for tracking all United States military forces that is 
     coordinated and interoperable and also accommodates the 
     participation of military forces of allied nations with

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) At the meeting of the North Atlantic Council held in 
     Prague in November 2002, the heads of states and governments 
     of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) launched a 
     Prague Capabilities Commitment and decided to create a NATO 
     Response Force.
       (2) The Prague Capabilities Commitment is part of the 
     continuing NATO effort to improve and develop new military 
     capabilities for modern warfare in a high-threat environment. 
     As part of this commitment, individual NATO allies have made 
     firm and specific political commitments to improve their 
     capabilities in the areas of--
       (A) chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear 
     defense;
       (B) intelligence, surveillance, and target acquisition;
       (C) air-to-ground surveillance;
       (D) command, control, and communications;
       (E) combat effectiveness, including precision guided 
     munitions and suppression of enemy air defenses;
       (F) strategic air and sea lift;
       (G) air-to-air refueling; and
       (H) deployable combat support and combat service support 
     units.
       (3) The NATO Response Force is envisioned to be a 
     technologically advanced, flexible, deployable, 
     interoperable, and sustainable force that includes land, sea, 
     and air elements ready to move quickly to wherever needed, as 
     determined by the North Atlantic Council. The NATO Response 
     Force is also intended to be a catalyst for focusing and 
     promoting improvements in NATO's military capabilities. It is 
     expected to have initial operational capability by October 
     2004, and full operational capability by October 2006.
       (b) Annual Report.--(1) Not later than January 31 of each 
     year, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the Committees 
     on Armed Services and Foreign Relations of the Senate and the 
     Committees on Armed Services and International Relations of 
     the House of Representatives a report, to be prepared in 
     consultation with the Secretary of State, on implementation 
     of the Prague Capabilities Commitment and development of the 
     NATO Response Force by the member nations of NATO. The report 
     shall include the following matters:
       (A) A description of the actions taken by NATO as a whole 
     and by each member nation of NATO other than the United 
     States to further the Prague Capabilities Commitment,

       (B) A description of the actions taken by NATO as a whole 
     and by each member nation of NATO, including the United 
     States, to create the NATO Response Force.
       (C) A discussion of the relationship between NATO's efforts 
     to improve capabilities through the Prague Capabilities 
     Commitment and those of the European Union to enhance 
     European capabilities through the European Capabilities 
     Action Plan, including the extent to which they are mutually 
     reinforcing.

          TITLE XXXII--DEFENSE NUCLEAR FACILITIES SAFETY BOARD

     SEC. 3201. AUTHORIZATION.

       There are authorized to be appropriated for fiscal year 
     2004, $19,559,000 for the operation of the Defense Nuclear 
     Facilities Safety Board under chapter 21 of the Atomic Energy 
     Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2286 et seq.).
                                 ______
                                 
      By Mr. DOMENICI (for himself, Mr. Reid, and Mr. Bingaman):
  S. 1051. A bill to direct the Secretary of the Interior to carry out 
a demonstration program to assess potential water savings through 
control of Salt Cedar and Russian Olive; to the Committee on 
Environment and Public Works.
  Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, I rise today to introduce a piece of 
legislation that is of paramount importance to the State of New Mexico 
and many other Western States. This bill will address the mounting 
pressures brought on by the growing demands throughout the West of a 
diminishing water supply.
  A water crisis has ravaged the West for 4 years. Drought conditions 
are expected to expand into the upper Midwest this year. Last year snow 
packs were abnormally low, causing severe drought conditions. Snow pack 
conditions this year are still low, but marginally better in the 
Southwest. The rest of the West does not look any more promising.
  I know that the seriousness of the water situation in New Mexico 
becomes more acute every single day. This drought has affected every 
New Mexican and nearly everyone in the West in some way. Wells are 
running dry, farmers are being forced to sell livestock, many of our 
cities are in various stages of conservation and many, many acres have 
been charred by catastrophic wildfires.
  The drought conditions also have other consequences. For example, the 
lack of stream flow makes it very difficult for New Mexico to meet its 
compact delivery obligations to the State of Texas.
  The bill that I am introducing today deals more specifically with the 
issue of in-stream water flows. To compound the drought situation, New 
Mexico is home to a vast amount of salt cedar. Salt cedar is a water-
thirsty non-native tree that continually strips massive amounts of 
water out of New Mexico's two predominant water supplies--the Pecos and 
the Rio Grande rivers.
  Estimates show that one mature salt cedar tree can consume as much as 
200 gallons of water per day; over the growing season that's 7 acre 
feet of water for each acre of salt cedar. In addition to the excessive 
water consumption, salt cedars increase fire, increase river 
channelization and flood frequency, decrease water flow and increase 
water and soil salinity along the river. Studies indicate that 
eradication of the salt cedars could increase river flows. Increasing 
river flows could help alleviate mounting pressure to meet compact 
delivery obligations--both on the Pecos and the Rio Grande.
  The drought and the mounting legal requirements on both the Pecos and 
Rio Grande rivers are forcing us toward a severe water crisis. Every 
river in the intermountain West seems to be facing these same problems. 
Solving such water problems has become one of my top priorities.
  I ask unanimous consent that a copy of the bill be printed in the 
Record.
  Mr. REID. Will the Senator yield?
  Mr. DOMENICI. I am happy to yield.
  Mr. REID. I apologize for interrupting the Senator. I applaud and 
commend the author of this legislation, with whom I joined, in 
presenting this legislation.
  For the State of Nevada, with the limited agriculture we have, and 
the very few rivers we have, the tamarisk is removing our agricultural 
possibilities, our recreational possibilities. If we can figure out a 
way to get rid of this salt cedar that has been ruining Nevada's rivers 
for decades now, it will do as much to help the State of Nevada and the 
environment as any one thing we can do. This will actually improve the 
environment of the State of Nevada.
  I want the record to reflect how much I, on behalf of the State of 
Nevada, applaud the Senator from New Mexico for offering this 
legislation.
  Mr. DOMENICI. This map which we just showed indicates that your 
problem is not just yours, my problem is not just mine. All the States 
that are green on the chart have tamarisk or one of these foreign 
plants such as salt cedar, that have infested the area, sucking up 
their water for no good use.
  Estimates show that a mature salt cedar tree can consume as much as 
200 gallons of water a day over the growing season or 7 acre feet of 
water for each acre of salt cedar.
  In addition to the excessive water consumption, the salt cedar 
increases fire, increases river channelization, flood frequency, 
decreases water flow, increases water and soil salinity over the 
various river basins.
  Mr. REID. If I could just say one more thing to my friend from New 
Mexico, in addition to that, they are not good for shade.
  Mr. DOMENICI. They are good for nothing.
  Mr. REID. They are not good for birds to nest in. They are just an 
ugly blight on Nevada's environment.
  Mr. DOMENICI. I thank the Senator for joining me.
  Mr. DOMENICI. 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:

[[Page S6142]]

                                S. 1051

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

     SEC. 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the `Salt Cedar Control 
     Demonstration Act'.

     SEC. 2. DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM.

       (a) Assessment.--Not later than 1 year after the date when 
     funds are made available to carry out this section, the 
     Secretary of the Interior (``Secretary'') shall complete an 
     assessment of the extent of Salt Cedar and Russian Olive 
     invasion in the Western United States, past and on-going 
     research on tested and innovative methods to control these 
     phreatophytes, the feasibility of reducing water consumption, 
     methods and challenges in land restoration, estimated costs 
     for all aspects of destruction, biomass removal, land 
     restoration and maintenance, and shall identify long-term 
     management and funding stragtegies that could be implemented 
     by federal, state and private land managers.
       (b) Demonstration.--The Secretary will initiate a program 
     of not fewer than 3 projects to demonstrate and evaluate the 
     most effective control methods including at least one project 
     primarily using air-born application of herbicides, at least 
     one project using mechanical removal and at least one project 
     using biocontrol such as goats or insects or any combination 
     thereof. Each demonstration project shall be designed and 
     carried out over time frames and spatial scales large enough 
     to--
       (1) monitor and fully document the water saved due to 
     control of Salt Cedar and Russian Oliver infestation and what 
     portions of the saved water returns to surface water supplies 
     and at what rates;
       (2) assess the optimum application approach and tools for 
     an array of control methods,
       (3) assess all costs and benefits associated with the 
     control methods, land restoration and maintenance,
       (4) determine what conditions indicate the need to remove 
     biomass and the optimal methods for disposal or use of 
     biomass;
       (5) define appropriate final vegetative states, optimal re-
     vegetation methods, and methods to prevent regrowth and 
     reintroduction of the invasive species.
       (c) Costs.--The total cost of each project may not exceed 
     7,000,000 dollars including costs of planning, design, 
     implementation, maintenance and monitoring. The Federal share 
     of the costs of any activity funded under this program shall 
     be no more than 65 percent of the total cost. The Secretary 
     may apply the value of in-kind contributions including State 
     Agency provided services to the non-Federal share of the 
     costs.
       (d) Cooperation.--The Secretary shall use the expertise of 
     institutions of higher education, state agencies, and soil 
     and water conservation districts that are actively conducting 
     research on or implementing Salt Cedar and Russian Olive 
     control activities and shall cooperate with other federal 
     agencies including the Department of Agriculture, Corp of 
     Engineers, affected states, local units of government, and 
     Indian Tribes.

     SEC. 3. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.

       There are authorized to be appropriated to carry out the 
     provisions of this Act $50,000,000 for fiscal year 2004, and 
     such sums as are necessary for each fiscal year thereafter.
                                 ______
                                 
  By Mr. NELSON of Florida:
  S. 1052. A bill to ensure that recipients of unsolicited bulk 
commercial electronic mail can identify the sender of such electronic 
mail, and for other purposes; to the Committee on Commerce, Science, 
and Transportation.
  Mr. NELSON of Florida. Mr. President, unwanted e-mail has become a 
problem of such gargantuan proportions that today's consumers find it 
difficult to engage in the normal commerce of e-mail because their e-
mail screen is so cluttered with so many unwanted messages.
  Commercially, clearly there is a desirable reason to have commercial 
messages, but a consumer ought to be able to opt out if that consumer 
does not want to continue to get those commercial messages. A consumer, 
particularly, should not have to endure the affront of messages that 
are clearly inappropriate, including pornographic messages.
  It is unbelievable. Yesterday, I was in my Tampa office, and in just 
one day, in the Tampa office, a U.S. Senate office, we had an e-mail 
sheet filled with unwanted messages, including pornographic messages. 
You can imagine if it is happening to a U.S. Senator's e-mail account 
what is happening across the land.
  So today I am introducing legislation that will give the consumer the 
opportunity to opt out, that will create penalties, both in jail time 
and fines, for deceptive and untruthful messages, as well as messages 
that do not have a return address where somebody is masking their 
identity.
  And, Mr. President, we are going to put some teeth in this 
legislation because we are going to make the infraction of this 
particular onerous activity of unwanted e-mail an element of the 
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, the RICO Act, which 
will give prosecutors the tools to go after the criminal enterprise and 
take the assets of that criminal enterprise that has become such a 
plague upon the consumers of this Nation who want and desire and, in 
fact, use a new kind of communication, e-mail.
  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. 1052
