     a case involving an anabolic steroid not in a tablet, 
     capsule, liquid, or other form where dosage can be readily 
     ascertained (such as a powder, topical cream, gel, or 
     aerosol), the sentence shall be determined based on the 
     entire weight of the mixture or substance;
       (3) amend the applicable guidelines by designating 
     quantities of mixture or substance that correspond to a unit 
     so that offenses involving such forms of anabolic steroids 
     are penalized at least as severely as offenses involving 
     forms whose dosage can be readily ascertained; and

     necessary to carry out this section.
       (c) Congressional Oversight.--The Administrator of the Drug 
     Enforcement Administration shall report to Congress every 2 
     years--
       (1) what anabolic steroids have been scheduled on a 
     temporary basis under this section; and

     on which the Secretary issued the order have been found, 
     under the procedures described in subsection (c), to meet the 
     requirements of Federal law. If the Secretary determines that 
     an exporter has failed to comply with the requirements of an 
     order under subsection (a), the 1-year period in the 
     preceding sentence shall run from the date of that 
     determination rather than the date on which the order was 
     issued.
       (e) Effect.--This section shall be in addition to, and 
     shall have no effect on, the authority of the Secretary of 
     Health and Human Services under the Federal Food, Drug, and

     fraud and safety. The inspection team shall prepare a report 
     for the Secretary of Commerce with its findings. The 
     Secretary of Commerce shall make a copy of the report 
     available to the country or exporter that is the subject of 
     the report and provide a 30-day period during which the 
     country or exporter may provide a rebuttal or other comments 
     on the findings to the Secretary.
       (b) Distribution and Use of Report.--The Secretary shall 
     provide the report to the Secretary of Health and Human 
     Services as information for consideration in making risk-
     based determinations such as the establishment of inspection 
     priorities of domestic and foreign facilities and the 
     examination and testing of imported seafood. The Secretary 
     shall provide the report to the Executive Director of the

     procedures required by this section shall be made available 
     to the Secretary upon request for official review and copying

  SA 4706. Mr. NELSON of Nebraska submitted an amendment intended to be 
proposed by him to the bill S. 3454, to authorize appropriations for 
fiscal year 2011 for military activities of the Department of Defense, 
for military construction, and for defense activities of the Department 
of Energy, to prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal 
year, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as 
follows:

       On page 548, between lines 10 and 11, insert the following:
       (h) Repayment of Funds Provided.--
       (1) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (A) The Iraq Security Forces Fund (ISSF) is intended to 
     provide funding in areas where the United States is in a 
     position to make a unique contribution to Iraqi security.
       (B) Starting in 2008, Congress called for Government of 
     Iraq to increase the level it financed its own security 
     forces in light of increases in oil revenues and unspent 
     funds.
       (C) Iraq has an available surplus of $11,800,000,000, 
     according to a September 2010 report by the Government 
     Accountability Office. The report, entitled ``Iraqi-U.S. Cost 
     Sharing'', projected a budget surplus of $52,100,000,000 
     through the end of 2009, with estimated outstanding advances 
     of $40,300,000,000.
       (D) In addition, the security ministries of Iraq did not 
     use between $2,500,000,000 and $5,200,000,000 of their 
     budgeted funds from 2005 through 2009, which could have been 
     used to address security needs, according to the same 
     Government Accountability Office report.
       (E) The fiscal year 2011 budget request of the President 
     for the Iraq Security Forces Fund was $2,000,000,000.
       (F) The United States has authorized $707,000,000,000 for 
     military operations in Iraq since 2003, of which 
     $24,000,000,000 has been provided for training, equipment, 
     supplies, facility construction, and other services for the 
     Iraqi security forces.
       (G) Iraq has the third largest oil reserve in the world, 
     providing a steady source of revenue that has led to budget 
     surpluses even during a period of global economic hardship.
       (H) The Government of Iraq should assume responsibility for 
     the costs associated with building its security forces.
       (I) The United States budget deficit for fiscal 2010 is 
     estimated at slightly less than $1,300,000,000,000 by the 
     Congressional Budget Office, and the projected deficit for 
     fiscal 2011 is $980,000,000,000.
       (J) The United States cannot continue to fund security 
     activities for the Government of Iraq, which now possesses 
     the resources and ability to provide for itself.
       (2) Provision of assistance after fiscal year 2010 through 
     loans.--United States funds made available from the Iraq 
     Security Forces Fund after the date of the enactment of this 
     Act shall be provided in the form of loans subject to full 
     repayment to the Government of the United States.
       (3) Repayment.--The Secretary of State shall, in 
     conjunction with the Secretary of Defense, seek to enter into 
     negotiations with the Government of Iraq in order to enter 
     into an agreement under which the Government of Iraq agrees 
     to repay the United States Government the United States funds 
     provided from the Iraq Security Forces Fund, including United 
     States funds provided before the date of the enactment of 
     this Act and United States funds provided as loans under 
     paragraph (2).
       (4) Report.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of Defense, submit to 
     Congress a report describing the status of negotiations 
     described in paragraph (3), including any details of the 
     repayment agreement entered into as a result of such 
     negotiations.
                                 ______
