     SEC. 311. OVERSIGHT OF GOVERNMENT PERFORMANCE.

       (a) In General.--In the Senate, all committees are directed 
     to review programs within their jurisdiction to root out 
     waste, fraud, and abuse in program spending, giving 
     particular scrutiny to issues raised by Government 
     Accountability Office reports. Based on these oversight 
     efforts and committee performance reviews of programs within 
     their jurisdiction, committees are directed to include 
     recommendations for improved governmental performance in 
     their annual views and estimates reports required under 
     section 301(d) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to the 
     Committees on the Budget.
       (b) Sense of the Senate Regarding Supporting the President 
     in His Efforts to Go ``Line by Line'' Through the Federal 
     Budget.--
       (1) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (A) as of March 30, 2009, the national debt of the United 
     States currently stands at $11,045,554,110,788.22 , the 
     largest in world history;
       (B) each United States citizen's share of this debt is 
     $36,155.97;
       (C) the fiscal year 2010 Senate Budget Resolution will 
     increase the total United States national debt by at least 
     $5,000,000,000,000 over the next 10 years;
       (D) the power of the purse belongs to Congress;
       (E) Congress authorizes and appropriates all Federal 
     discretionary spending and creates new mandatory spending 
     programs;
       (F) Congress annually funds programs that are wasteful, 
     inefficient, and duplicative that result in taxpayer losses 
     in the billions;
       (G) it is irresponsible for Congress to continue funding 
     wasteful, inefficient, or duplicative Government programs 
     that will result in borrowing from Social Security, Medicare, 
     foreign nations, or future generations of Americans;
       (H) every cent that the United States Government loses on 
     wasteful, inefficient, or duplicative programs is money 
     stolen from future generations of Americans and from 
     important programs, including Social Security and Medicare, 
     on which our senior citizens depend for their retirement 
     security;
       (I) President Obama declared on November 25, 2008, ``In 
     these challenging times, when we are facing both rising 
     deficits and a sinking economy, budget reform is not an 
     option. It is an imperative. We cannot sustain a system that 
     bleeds billions of taxpayer dollars on programs that have 
     outlived their usefulness, or exist solely because of the 
     power of politicians, lobbyists, or interest groups.''; and
       (J) President Obama pledged, on November 25, 2008, to go 
     through the Federal Budget ``page by page, line by line, 
     eliminating those programs we don't need, and insisting that 
     those we do operate in a sensible, cost-effective way.''.
       (2) Sense of the senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that Congress should support the President in his efforts to 
     go line by line through the Federal budget to eliminate 
     wasteful spending by--
       (A) requiring the head of every Federal department and 
     agency to provide a report to Congress, within 90 days of the 
     date of adoption of this resolution, on programs that are 
     duplicative, inefficient, or failing, with recommendations 
     for elimination and consolidation of such programs;
       (B) requiring the Office of Management and Budget, within 
     90 days of the date of adoption of this resolution, to 
     provide a report to Congress on programs that are duplicative 
     government-wide, with recommendations for elimination or 
     consolidation of such programs; and
       (C) requiring every standing committee of Congress to 
     conduct at least one oversight hearing per fiscal year to 
     identify wasteful, inefficient, outdated, and duplicative 
     programs that could be eliminated.

     percent of all funds received by the United Nations, even 
     though the United States is only 1 of 192 United Nations 
     members.
       (2) In 2008, the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations 
     of the Senate found that the United Nations lead development 
     entity, the United Nations Development Program, diverted 
     development funds to the entity used by the Democratic 
     People's Republic of Korea to finance illicit missile sales 
     and permitted the Government of North Korea to use United 
     Nations bank accounts to freely transfer cash around the 
     world and elude detection and sanctions.
       (3) The United Nations Procurement Task Force reported in 
     2008 that the United Nations Environment Program, which 
     spends over $1,000,000,000 annually and receives almost 10 
     percent of its budget from United States taxpayers, conducts 
     almost no auditing or oversight of its spending, has one 
     auditor and one assistant to inspect its operations, and 
     would take 17 years to audit its high-risk areas already 
     identified.
       (4) The United Nations Procurement Task Force reported in 
     2008 that poor data collection across the United Nations 
     system makes it impossible to determine whether a United 
     Nations program is relevant or effective.
       (5) The United Nations Procurement Task Force reported in 
     2008 that United Nations resource allocation and performance 
     assessments do not take into account whether or not results 
     have been achieved.
       (6) The Department of State reported in 2007 that the 
     United Nations 2008/2009 Biennial Budget represents the 
     largest increase in its funding request in United Nations 
     history, in excess of $5,200,000,000 and representing a 25 
     percent increase from the previous biennial budget.
       (7) The Department of State reported in 2007 that, in the 
     previous 5 years, the United Nations budget has grown at a 
     record 17 percent, the United Nations Peacekeeping budget has 
     grown by 40 percent, and the United Nations Tribunals budget 
     has grown by 15 percent, but the United States budget has 
     only grown 7 percent during the same period.
       (8) The Department of State reported in 2007 that the 
     overwhelming majority of the United Nations budget, 75 
     percent, is diverted to costs associated with its staff 
     instead of direct humanitarian assistance or conflict 
     prevention.
       (9) United Nations auditors in 2007 found that 43 percent 
     of over $1,000,000,000 in audited procurement contracts were 
     tainted by fraud and corruption.
       (10) The official policy at the Department of State for 
     United Nations reform, as implemented through the United 
     Nations Transparency and Accountability Initiative, is to 
     press the United Nations to reform by providing access to 
     United Nations audits, budget information and procurement 
     activities, instituting legitimate whistleblower protections, 
     financial disclosure policies, and an ethics office, 
     providing independence for its internal oversight bodies, 
     adopting international accounting standards, and establishing 
     a cap on administrative overhead costs for United Nations 
     funds and programs.
       (11) The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency 
     Act (Public Law 109-282; 31 U.S.C. 6101 note) requires all 
     federal funding information to be put on the public website, 
     USAspending.gov, including all contract, subcontract, grant, 
     and subgrant data such as the amount of the award, source of 
     funds, and the intended purpose of the funds.
       (12) Section 212 of this resolution creates a deficit-
     neutral reserve fund for a bipartisan congressional sunset 
     commission that is tasked with providing ``for a process that 
     will help abolish obsolete and duplicative Federal programs'' 
     and ``for improved government accountability and greater 
     openness in Government decision-making''.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that no 
     appropriated funds should be obligated, expended, or 
     otherwise made available for the United Nations or any 
     subsidiary body of the United Nations, including any 
     organization that is authorized to use the United Nations 
     logo, for a fiscal year unless the Director of the Office of 
     Management and Budget certifies that the United Nations, such 
     subsidiary body of the United Nations, or such organization, 
     as the case may be, is fully and publicly transparent about 
     all of its spending, including for procurement purposes, that 
     occurred during the prior fiscal year, including the posting 
     on a publicly available website of--
       (1) copies of all contracts, grants, subcontracts, and 
     subgrants awarded or utilized during the prior fiscal year;
       (2) copies of all program reviews, audits, budgets, project 
     progress reports, and other management documents relating to 
     the prior fiscal year; and
       (3) any other financial or management information 
     determined necessary by the Director of the Office of 
     Management and Budget.

  SA 832. Mr. COBURN submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by 
him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 13, setting forth the 
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 
2010, revising the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal year 2009, 
and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 
2011 through 2014; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE NEED FOR 
                   TRANSPARENCY FOR DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE 
                   AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
       (1) On September 16, 2008, the Board of Governors of the 
     Federal Reserve, after consulting with Treasury Department, 
     issued a press release announcing it ``authorized the Federal 
     Reserve Bank of New York to lend up to $85 billion to the 
     American International Group (AIG) under section 13(3) of the 
     Federal Reserve Act.''.
       (2) On October 8, 2008, the Board of Governors of the 
     Federal Reserve issued a press release, announcing it would 
     loan AIG an additional $37.8 billion, stating, ``Under this 
     program, the New York Fed will borrow up to $37.8 billion in 
     investment-grade, fixed-income securities from AIG in return 
     for cash collateral.''.
       (3) On November 10, 2008, the United States Treasury issued 
     a press release announcing it would ``purchase $40 billion in 
     senior preferred stock from the American International Group 
     (AIG) as part of a comprehensive plan to restructure federal 
     assistance to the systemically important company.''.
       (4) On November 25, 2008, the Treasury Department used 
     funds from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to 
     purchase the $40 billion in preferred shares in AIG.
       (5) The November 10, 2008, a Treasury Department press 
     release also stated, relating to compensation for AIG 
     executives in light of the recent taxpayer-funded purchase of 
     senior preferred stock, ``Under the agreement AIG must be in 
     compliance with the executive compensation and corporate 
     governance requirements of Section 111 of the Emergency 
     Economic Stabilization Act. AIG must comply with the most 
     stringent limitations on executive compensation for its top 
     five senior executive officers as required under the 
     Emergency Economic Stabilization Act. Treasury is also 
     requiring golden parachute limitations and a freeze on the 
     size of the annual bonus pool for the top 70 company 
     executives.''.
       (6) On January 26, 2009, H.R. 1, the American Recovery and 
     Reinvestment Act of 2009 was introduced in the House with no 
     language on executive compensation requirements for Troubled 
     Asset Relief Program (TARP) recipients.
       (7) On January 28, 2009, H.R. 1 passed the House of 
     Representatives by a vote of 244-188, with no language 
     included on executive compensation requirements for TARP 
     recipients.
       (8) On January 30, 2009, the Senate began consideration of 
     Senate Amendment 98, a substitute amendment to H.R. 1, which 
     did not include language on executive compensation 
     requirements for TARP recipients.
       (9) On February 5, 2009, during consideration of Senate 
     Amendment 98, the Senate adopted by voice vote, Senate 
     Amendment 354, which would prohibit the payment of bonuses to 
     the top 25 executives at firms in receipt of TARP funds.
       (10) On February 7, 2009, Senate Amendment 98 was withdrawn 
     in the Senate, and Senate Amendment 570, a substitute 
     amendment was ordered to be printed in the Senate, which 
     included Senate Amendment 354, previously approved by the 
     Senate.
       (11) On February 10, 2009, Senate Amendment 570 passed the 
     Senate by a vote of 61 - 37.

[[Page S4205]]

       (12) On February 13, 2009, the conference report to H.R. 1 
     was approved by both the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives, and contained a new provision, not included 
     in either the Senate-passed or House-passed bills, 
     specifically exempting bonuses agreed to before February 11, 
     2009, for executives at companies that received TARP funds.
       (13) Senators were given less than 24 hours to review any 
     changes that were made to the conference report, which 
     totaled more than 1,000 pages.
       (14) According Senate Rule XXVIII, paragraph 2(a), 
     ``Conferees shall not insert in their report matter not 
     committed to them by either House, nor shall they strike from 
     the bill matter agreed to by both Houses.''.
       (15) According Senate Rule XXVIII, paragraph 9(a)(1), ``It 
     shall not be in order to vote on the adoption of a report of 
     a committee of conference unless such report has been 
     available to Members and to the general public for at least 
     48 hours before such vote. If a point of order is sustained 
     under this paragraph, then the conference report shall be set 
     aside.''.
       (16) On March 18, 2009, CNN reported that one United States 
     senator ``denied inserting that exemption at the 11th hour, 
     and insisted he doesn't know how it got in there.''.
       (17) On March 19, 2009, ABC News reported that one United 
     States senator stated the following regarding the executive 
     compensation language included in H.R. 1, ``And frankly it 
     was such a rush, talking about the stimulus bill now, to get 
     it passed, I did not have time, other conferees did not have 
     time to address many of the provisions that were modified 
     significantly. We do the best we can, but we missed that 
     stuff as a result.''.
       (18) On March 19, 2009, The Hill Newspaper reported that, 
     according to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the 
     language in question did not originate in the House of 
     Representatives, stating ``This was never brought to 
     conference, . . .This never came to the House side, and you 
     can talk to any of our conferees. It's a matter of fact and 
     record.''.
       (19) On March 19, 2009, the Wall Street Journal reported 
     that White House officials suggested they did not request the 
     legislative change, saying that ``Administration officials 
     said the Treasury didn't suggest any language or say how the 
     amendment should be changed. They said they noted legal 
     issues that could likely lead to challenges, but was the end 
     of their involvement. The official said Mr. Dodd and Congress 
     made the final changes on their own.''.
       (20) On March 19, 2009, in an interview with CNN, Treasury 
     Secretary Timothy Geithner stated that ``Treasury staff did 
     express concern about whether this provision was vulnerable 
     to legal challenge.''.
       (21) On March 19, an ABC news story reported that ``Two 
     separate federal agencies have begun investigations into how 
     the provisions ended up in the legislation. . .''.
       (22) On March 28, 2009, the Hartford Courant reported that 
     the Attorney General of the State of Connecticut had sent a 
     letter to the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the 
     Federal Reserve contending that the AIG bonuses payments were 
     not protected under Connecticut's wage act, calling such 
     arguments, ``flawed legal bluffs''. Earlier in the week, the 
     Chairman had testified to Congress that he wanted to legally 
     challenge the bonuses but was advised not to because of the 
     potential liability from the wage act. But, according to a 
     March 25 story in the Hartford Courant, the Federal Reserve 
     had not been in contact with the State Attorney General's 
     office to discuss the matter.
       (23) Additionally, section 215 of this resolution 
     encourages increased ``transparency at the Federal Reserve 
     System, including audits of the Board of Governors of the 
     Federal Reserve System and the Federal reserve banks and 
     increased public disclosure with respect to the recipients of 
     all loans and other financial assistance it has provided 
     since March 4, 2008''.
       (24) The secret change in the language relating to 
     executive compensation for TARP recipients' calls into 
     question the integrity of the Senate and the legislative 
     process, and the executive branch has seen fit to investigate 
     such matters.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that not later than 14 days after the adoption of this 
     resolution, the Department of Treasury and the Board of 
     Governors of the Federal Reserve, should post a clearly 
     labeled section on the front page of the website of each such 
     agency, that contains, in a searchable format, all documents 
     relating to the origination, development, and insertion of 
     the language described in subsection (a) into the conference 
     report to H.R. 1, including--
       (1) any relevant correspondences, memorandums, electronic 
     communications, meeting summaries, and telephone logs; and
       (2) all communication, in any medium or manner, with--
       (A) each Senate Office;
       (B) the President and any officials employed or associated 
     with the Administration of the President;
       (C) American International Group; and
       (D) the Office of the Attorney General of the State of 
     Connecticut.

     for a BRAC-like commission to review the current and long-
     term solvency of Social Security and a BRAC-like commission 
     to review the current and long-term solvency of Medicare and 
     Medicaid, by the amounts provided in such legislation for

     1974, and the Joint Committee on Taxation shall inform the 
     Chairman of the Committee on the Budget if that measure 
     contains provisions that increase revenues from closing the 
     tax gap. The report shall include the amount of revenue 
     raised each year including the current year, the budget year, 
     and for each of the 10 years following the current year.
       (2) Exclusion from pay-as-you-go scorecard.--Any revenue 
     raised from provisions to close the tax gap (as detailed in 
     the report described in (a)(1)) shall not count as offsets 
     for purposes of section 201 of S. Con. Res. 21, the FY 2008 
     Budget Resolution.
       (b) Criteria and Definitions.--
       (1) The tax gap is the difference between the revenue that 
     is owed to the federal government in accordance with existing 
     tax law and the revenue that is collected by the federal 
     government.
       (2) The tax gap is a combination of inadvertent errors and 
     deliberate evasion.
       (3) Revenues raised from changes to withholding or payment 
     reporting requirements are examples of efforts to close the 
     tax gap.
       (4) The tax gap is not about clarifying existing law in 
     order to close loopholes, broadening the tax base, raising 
     tax rates, or any other action that would change existing tax 
     law.

     SEC. 317. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE ROLE OF 
                   BIOTECHNOLOGY IN THE LIFE SCIENCES INDUSTRY.

       It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) the United States is the established and undisputed 
     global leader in life sciences, and biotechnology companies 
     of the United States are developing advances in medicine, 
     energy, defense, and agriculture;
       (2) the biotechnology industry is a source of high-wage, 
     science-oriented jobs, and the success of the industry is 
     critical to ensure that the President's call to ``cure cancer 
     in our lifetime'' is met;
       (3) the ongoing financial crisis has made it difficult for 
     small biotechnology firms to access capital, negatively 
     affecting the cutting-edge life sciences industry of the 
     United States by threatening to halt or significantly delay 
     the next generation of promising therapies for cancer, 
     multiple sclerosis, heart disease, and other diseases and 
     afflictions affecting tens of millions of people of the 
     United States, as well as threatening to halt or 
     significantly delay the development of next-generation 
     biofuels;
       (4) the potential for biotechnology to prevent and cure 
     disease, improve surgical outcomes, and pioneer other medical 
     breakthroughs represents tremendous opportunity to reduce 
     costs and improve public health; and
       (5) Congress should act to facilitate access to capital for 
     the life sciences industry of the United States, including 
     emerging biotechnology companies, as the industry faces a 
     severe funding crisis that is jeopardizing a critical sector 
     of the United States' 21st century innovation economy and a 
     source of high-paying, high-quality jobs in the United 
     States.
