     302(a)(1)(A) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and

       (1) by striking ``17'' and inserting ``18''; and
       (2) by striking ``11'' and inserting ``12''.
       Sec. 210. Sense of Senate with Respect to Promoting Travel 
     and Tourism. (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) an effective public-private partnership of Federal, 
     State, and local governments and the travel and tourism 
     industry can successfully market the United States as the 
     premiere international tourist destination in the world;
       (2) the private sector, States, and cities currently spend 
     more than $1,000,000,000 annually to promote particular 
     destinations within the United States to international 
     visitors;
       (3) other nations are spending hundreds of millions of 
     dollars annually to promote the visits of international 
     tourists to their countries, and the United States will miss 
     a major marketing opportunity if it fails to aggressively 
     compete for an increased share of international tourism 
     expenditures as they continue to increase over the next 
     decade;
       (4) a well-funded, well-coordinated international marketing 
     effort, combined with additional public and private sector 
     efforts, would help small and large businesses, as well as 
     State and local governments, share in the anticipated growth 
     of the international travel and tourism market in the 21st 
     century; and
       (5) a long-term marketing effort should be supported to 
     promote increased travel to the United States for the benefit 
     of every sector of the economy.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that Congress should enact this year, with adequate funding 
     from available resources, legislation that would support 
     international promotional activities by the United States 
     National Tourism Organization to help brand, position, and 
     promote the United States as the premiere travel and tourism 
     destination in the world.
       Sec. 211. Study of a General Electronic Extension Program. 
     Not later than 6 months after the enactment of this Act, the 
     Secretary of Commerce shall report to Congress on possible 
     benefits from a general electronic commerce extension program 
     to help small businesses, not limited to manufacturers, in 
     all parts of the Nation identify and adopt electronic 
     commerce technology and techniques, so that such businesses 
     can fully participate in electronic commerce. Such a general 
     extension service would be analogous to the Manufacturing 
     Extension Program managed by the National Institute of 
     Standards and Technology, and the Cooperative Extension 
     Service managed by the Department of Agriculture. The report 
     shall address, at a minimum, the following--
       (1) the need for or opportunity presented by such a 
     program;
       (2) some of the specific services that such a program 
     should provide and to whom;
       (3) how such a program would serve firms in rural or 
     isolated areas;
       (4) how such a program should be established, organized, 
     and managed;
       (5) the estimated costs of such a program; and
       (6) the potential benefits of such a program to both small 
     businesses and the economy as a whole.
       Sec. 212. Sense of the Senate Regarding the European 
     Council Noise Rule Affecting Hushkitted and Reengined 
     Aircraft. (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) for more than 50 years, the International Civil 
     Aviation Organization (ICAO) has been the single entity 
     vested with the authority to establish international noise 
     and emissions standards; through ICAO's efforts, aircraft 
     noise has decreased by an average of 40 percent since 1970;
       (2) ICAO is currently working on an expedited basis on even 
     more stringent international noise standards, taking into 
     account economic reasonableness, technical feasibility and 
     environmental benefits;
       (3) international noise and emissions standards are 
     critical to maintaining United States aeronautical 
     industries' economic viability and to obtaining their ongoing 
     commitment to progressively more stringent noise reduction 
     efforts;
       (4) European Council (EC) Regulation No. 925/1999, banning 
     certain aircraft meeting the highest internationally 
     recognized noise standards from flying in Europe, undermines 
     the integrity of the ICAO process and undercuts the 
     likelihood that new Stage 4 standards can be developed;
       (5) while no regional standard is acceptable, this 
     regulation is particularly offensive; there is no scientific 
     basis for the regulation and it has been carefully crafted to 
     protect European aviation interests while imposing arbitrary, 
     substantial and unfounded cost burdens on United States 
     aeronautical industries;
       (6) the vast majority of aircraft that will be affected by 
     EC Regulation No. 925/1999 are operated by United States flag 
     carriers; and
       (7) the implementation of EC Regulation No. 925/1999 will 
     result in a loss of jobs in the United States and may cost 
     the United States aviation industry in excess of 
     $2,000,000,000.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) EC Regulation No. 925/1999 should be rescinded by the 
     EC at the earliest possible time;
       (2) that if this is not done, the Department of State 
     should file a petition regarding EC Regulation No. 925/1999 
     with ICAO pursuant to Article 84 of the Chicago Convention; 
     and
       (3) the Departments of Commerce and Transportation and the 
     United States Trade Representative should use all reasonable 
     means available to them to ensure that the goal of having the 
     rule repealed is achieved.
       This title may be cited as the ``Department of Commerce and 
     Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2000''.

     not implement the agency plan without prior written 
     notification to the chairman of each authorizing and 
     appropriating committees of the House and the Senate at least

     Payments.--
       (1) In general.--A voluntary separation incentive payment

     made); or
       (ii) an amount determined by the Chairman, not to exceed 
     $25,000;
       (C) may not be made except in the case of any qualifying

     based on any other separation.
       (d) Additional Agency Contributions to the Retirement 
     Fund.--
       (1) In general.--In addition to any other payments which it 
     is required to make under subchapter III of chapter 83 or 
     chapter 84 of title 5, United States Code, the agency shall 
     remit to the Office of Personnel Management for deposit in 
     the Treasury of the United States to the credit of the Civil

     percent of the final base pay of each employee of the agency 
     who is covered under subchapter III of chapter 83 or chapter 
     84 of title 5, United States Code, to whom a voluntary

     ``final basic pay'', with respect to an employee, means the 
     total amount of basic pay which would be payable for a year 
     of service by such employee, computed using the employee's 
     final rate of basic pay, and, if last serving on other than a 
     full-time basis, with appropriate adjustment therefor.
       (e) Effect of Subsequent Employment With the Government.--
     (1) An individual who has received a voluntary separation 
     incentive payment from the agency under this section and 
     accepts any employment for compensation with the Government 
     of the United States, or who works for any agency of the 
     United States Government through a personal services 
     contract, within 5 years after the date of the separation on

     the individual's first day of employment, the entire amount 
     of the lump sum incentive payment to the agency.

     executive agency (as defined by section 105 of title 5, 
     United States Code), the United States Postal Service, or the 
     Postal Rate Commission, the Director of the Office of

     agency, waive the repayment if the individual involved 
     possesses unique abilities and is the only qualified 
     applicant available for the position.
       (3) If the employment under paragraph (1) is with an entity 
     in the legislative branch, the head of the entity or the

     only qualified applicant for the position.
       (f) Intended Effect on Agency Employment Levels.--
       (1) In general.--Voluntary separations under this section 
     are not intended to necessarily reduce the total number of 
     full-time equivalent positions in the Federal Communications 
     Commission. The agency may redeploy or use the full-time 
     equivalent positions vacated by voluntary separations under 
     this section to make other positions available to more 
     critical locations or more critical occupations.
       (2) Enforcement.--The president, through the Office of 
     Management and Budget, shall monitor the agency and take any 
     action necessary to ensure that the requirements of this 
     subsection are met.
       (g) Regulations.--The Office of Personnel Management may 
     prescribe such regulations as may be necessary to implement 
     this section.
       (h) Effective Date.--This section shall take effect on the 
     date of enactment. (Departments of Commerce, Justice, and 
     State, the Judiciary and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 
     1999, as included in Public Law 105-277, section 101(b).)
       Sec. 621. The Secretary of Commerce (hereinafter the 
     ``Secretary'') is hereby authorized and directed to create an 
     ``Interagency Task Force on Indian Arts and Crafts 
     Enforcement'' to be composed of representatives of the United 
     States Trade Representative, the Department of Commerce, the 
     Department of the Interior, the Department of Justice, the 
     Department of the Treasury, the International Trade 
     Administration, and representatives of other agencies and 
     departments in the discretion of the Secretary to devise and 
     implement a coordinated enforcement response to prevent the 
     sale or distribution of any product or goods sold in or 
     shipped to the United States that is not in compliance with 
     the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1935, as amended.
       Sec. 622 (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following 
     findings:
       (1) When telephone area codes were first introduced in 
     1947, 86 area codes covered all of North America. There are 
     now more than 215 area codes, and an additional 70 area codes 
     may be required in the next 2 years.
       (2) The current system for allocating numbers to 
     telecommunications carriers is woefully inefficient, leading 
     to the exhaustion of a telephone area code long before all 
     the telephone numbers covered by the area code are actually 
     in use.
       (3) The proliferation of new telephone area codes causes 
     economic dislocation for businesses and unnecessary cost, 
     confusion, and inconvenience for households.
       (4) Principles and approaches exist that would increase the 
     efficiency with which telecommunications carriers use 
     telephone numbering resources.
       (5) The May 27, l999, rulemaking proceeding of the Federal 
     Communications Commission relating to numbering resource 
     optimization seeks to address the growing problem of the 
     exhaustion of telephone area codes.
       (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) the Federal Communications Commission shall release its 
     report and order on numbering resource optimization not later 
     than December 31, 1999;
       (2) such report and order should minimize any disruptions 
     and costs to consumers and businesses associated with the 
     implementation of such report and order; and
       (3) such report and order should apply not only to large 
     metropolitan areas but to all areas of the United States that 
     are facing the problem of exhaustion of telephone numbers.
       Sec. 623. Prohibition on Requirement for Use of Accounting 
     Method Not Conforming to Generally Accepted Accounting 
     Principles. No part of any appropriations contained in this 
     Act shall be used by the Federal Communications Commission to 
     require any person subject to its jurisdiction under the 
     Communications Act of 1934, as amended (47 U.S.C. 151 et 
     seq.) to utilize for any purpose any form or method of 
     accounting that does not conform to Generally Accepted 
     Accounting Principles established by the Financial Accounting 
     Standards Board.
       Sec. 624. (a) The total discretionary amount made available 
     by this Act is reduced by $92,000,000: Provided, That the 
     reduction pursuant to this subsection shall be taken pro rata 
     from travel, supplies, and printing expenses made available 
     to the agencies funded by this Act, except for activities 
     related to the 2000 census.
       (b) Not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of 
     this Act, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
     shall submit to the Committees on Appropriations of the House 
     of Representatives and the Senate a listing of the amounts by 
     account of the reductions made pursuant to the provisions of 
     subsection (a).
       Sec. 625. Prohibition of Transfer of a Firearm to an 
     Intoxicated Person. (a) Prohibition of Transfer.--Section 
     922(d) of title 18, United States Code, is amended--
       (1) by redesignating paragraphs (8) and (9) as paragraphs 
     (9) and (10), respectively; and

     105-277) for vessel documentation activities shall remain 
     available until expended.
       Sec. 628. (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following 
     findings:
       (1) Iran has been designated as a state sponsor of 
     terrorism by the Secretary of State and continues to be among 
     the most active supporters of terrorism in the world.
       (2) According to the State Department's annual report 
     entitled ``Patterns of Global Terrorism'', Iran supports 
     Hizballah, Hamas, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, 
     terrorist organizations which oppose the Middle East peace 
     process, continue to work for the destruction of Israel, and 
     have killed United States citizens.
       (3) A United States district court ruled in March 1998 that 
     Iran should pay $247,000,000 to the family of Alisa Flatow, a 
     United States citizen killed in a bomb attack orchestrated by 
     the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza in April 1995.
       (4) The Government of Iran continues to maintain a 
     repressive political regime in which the civil liberties of 
     the people of Iran are denied.
       (5) The State Department Country Report on Human Rights 
     states that the human rights record of the Government of Iran 
     remains poor, including ``extra judicial killings and summary 
     executions; disappearances; widespread use of torture and 
     other degrading treatment; harsh prison conditions; arbitrary 
     arrest and detention; lack of due process; unfair trials; 
     infringement on citizen's privacy; and restrictions on 
     freedom of speech, press, assembly, association, religion, 
     and movement''.
       (6) Religious minorities in Iran have been persecuted 
     solely because of their faith, and the Government of Iran has 
     detained 13 members of Iran's Jewish community without 
     charge.

[[Page 17959]]

       (7) Recent student-led protests in Iran were repressed by 
     force, with possibly five students losing their lives and 
     hundreds more being imprisoned.
       (8) The Government of Iran is pursuing an aggressive 
     ballistic missile program with foreign assistance and is 
     seeking to develop weapons of mass destruction which threaten 
     United States allies and interests.
       (9) Despite the continuation by the Government of Iran of 
     repressive activities in Iran and efforts to threaten United 
     States allies and interests in the Near East and South Asia, 
     the President waived provisions of the Iran and Libya 
     Sanctions Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-172; 50 U.S.C. 1701 
     note) intended to impede development of the energy sector in 
     Iran.
       (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) the President should condemn in the strongest possible 
     terms the failure of the Government of Iran to implement 
     genuine political reforms and protect the civil liberties of 
     the people of Iran, which failure was most recently 
     demonstrated in the violent repression of student-led 
     protests in Teheran and other cities by the Government of 
     Iran;
       (2) the President should support democratic opposition 
     groups in Iran more aggressively;
       (3) the detention of 13 members of the Iranian Jewish 
     community by the Government of Iran is a deplorable violation 
     of due process and a clear example of the policies of the 
     Government of Iran to persecute religious minorities; and
       (4) the decision of the President to waive provisions of 
     the Iran and Libya Sanctions Act of 1996 intended to impede 
     development of the energy sector in Iran was regrettable and 
     should be reversed as long as Iran continues to threaten 
     United States interests and allies in the Near East and South 
     Asia through state sponsorship of terrorism and efforts to 
     acquire weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to 
     deliver such weapons.
       Sec. 629. Section 203(p)(1)(B) of the Federal Property and 
     Administrative Services Act of 1949 (40 U.S.C. 484(p)(1)(B)) 
     is amended--
       (1) by striking clause (ii);
       (2) by inserting ``or public safety'' after ``law 
     enforcement'';
       (3) by striking ``(i)'';
       (4) by striking ``(I)'' and inserting ``(i)''; and
       (5) by striking ``(II)'' and inserting ``(ii)''.
       Sec. 630. Protection of Seniors and the Disabled in Federal 
     Family Violence Prevention Programs. (a) Findings.--Congress 
     finds that--
       (1) of the estimated more than 1,000,000 persons age 65 and 
     over who are victims of family violence each year, at least 
     \2/3\ are women;
       (2) national statistics are not available on the incidence 
     of domestic or family violence and sexual assault against 
     disabled women, although several studies indicate that abuse 
     of disabled women is of a longer duration compared to abuse 
     suffered by women who are not disabled;
       (3) in almost 9 out of 10 incidents of domestic elder abuse 
     and neglect, the perpetrator is a family member, and adult 
     children of the victims are the largest category of 
     perpetrators and spouses are the second largest category of 
     perpetrators;
       (4) the number of reports of elder abuse in the United 
     States increased by 150 percent between 1986 and 1996 and is 
     expected to continue increasing;
       (5) it is estimated that at least 5 percent of the Nation's 
     elderly are victims of moderate to severe abuse and that the 
     rate for all forms of abuse may be as high as 10 percent;
       (6) elder abuse is severely underreported, with 1 in 5 
     cases being reported in 1980 and only 1 in 8 cases being 
     reported today;
       (7) many older and disabled women fail to report abuse 
     because of shame or as a result of prior unsatisfactory 
     experiences with individual agencies or others who lack 
     sensitivity to the concerns or needs of older or disabled 
     individuals;
       (8) many older or disabled individuals also fail to report 
     abuse because they are dependent on their abusers and fear 
     being abandoned or institutionalized;
       (9) disabled women may fear reporting abuse because they 
     are fearful of losing their children in a custody case;
       (10) public and professional awareness and identification 
     of violence against older or disabled Americans may be 
     difficult because these persons are not integrated into many 
     social networks (such as schools or jobs), and may become 
     isolated in their homes, which can increase the risk of 
     domestic abuse; and
       (11) older and disabled Americans would greatly benefit 
     from policies that develop, strengthen, and implement 
     programs for the prevention of abuse, including neglect and 
     exploitation, and provide related assistance for victims.
       (b) In General.--Part T of title I of the Omnibus Crime 
     Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 is amended--
       (1) in section 2001 (42 U.S.C. 3796gg)--
       (A) in subsection (a)--
       (i) by inserting ``, including older women and women with a 
     disability'' after ``combat violent crimes against women''; 
     and
       (ii) by inserting ``, including older women and women with 
     a disability'' before the period; and
       (B) in subsection (b)--
       (i) in the matter preceding paragraph (1), by inserting ``, 
     including older women and women with a disability'' after 
     ``against women'';
       (ii) in paragraph (6), by striking ``and'' after the 
     semicolon;
       (iii) in paragraph (7), by striking the period and 
     inserting ``; and''; and
       (iv) by adding at the end the following:
       ``(8) developing a curriculum to train and assist law 
     enforcement officers, prosecutors, and relevant officers of 
     the Federal, State, tribal, and local courts in identifying 
     and responding to crimes of domestic violence and sexual 
     assault against older individuals and individuals with a 
     disability and implementing that training and assistance.'';
       (2) in section 2002(c)(2) (42 U.S.C. 3796gg-1) by inserting 
     ``and service programs tailored to the needs of older and 
     disabled victims of domestic violence and sexual assault'' 
     before the semicolon; and
       (3) in section 2003 (42 U.S.C. 3796gg-2)--
       (A) in paragraph (7), by striking ``and'' after the 
     semicolon;
       (B) in paragraph (8), by striking the period and inserting 
     ``; and''; and
       (C) by adding at the end the following:
       ``(9) both the term `elder' and the term `older individual' 
     have the meaning given the term `older individual' in section 
     102 of the Older Americans Act of 1965 (42 U.S.C. 3002); and
       ``(10) the term `disability' has the meaning given the term 
     in section 3(3) of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 
     1990 (42 U.S.C. 12102(3)).''.
       (c) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section 
     shall apply to any grant made beginning with fiscal year 
     2000.

   TITLE VIII--CHILDREN WHO WITNESS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PROTECTION ACT

       Sec. 801. Short Title. This title may be cited as the 
     ``Children Who Witness Domestic Violence Protection Act''.
       Sec. 802. Findings. Congress finds the following:
       (1) Witnessing domestic violence has a devastating impact 
     on children, placing the children at high risk for anxiety, 
     depression, and, potentially, suicide. Many children who 
     witness domestic violence exhibit more aggressive, 
     antisocial, fearful, and inhibited behaviors.
       (2) Children exposed to domestic violence have a high risk 
     of experiencing learning difficulties and school failure. 
     Research finds that children residing in domestic violence 
     shelters exhibit significantly lower verbal and quantitative 
     skills when compared to a national sample of children.
       (3) Domestic violence is strongly correlated with child 
     abuse. Studies have found that between 50 and 70 percent of 
     men who abuse their female partners also abuse their 
     children. In homes in which domestic violence occurs, 
     children are physically abused and neglected at a rate 15 
     times higher than the national average.
       (4) Men who witnessed parental abuse during their childhood 
     have a higher risk of becoming physically aggressive in 
     dating and marital relationships.
       (5) Exposure to domestic violence is a strong predictor of 
     violent delinquent behavior among adolescents. It is 
     estimated that

[[Page 17960]]

     between 20 percent and 40 percent of chronically violent 
     adolescents have witnessed extreme parental conflict.
       (6) Women have an increased risk of experiencing battering 
     after separation from an abusive partner. Children also have 
     an increased risk of suffering harm during separation.
       (7) Child visitation disputes are more frequent when 
     families have histories of domestic violence, and the need 
     for supervised visitation centers far exceeds the number of 
     available programs providing those centers, because courts 
     therefore--
       (A) order unsupervised visitation and endanger parents and 
     children; or
       (B) prohibit visitation altogether.
       (8) Recent studies have demonstrated that up to 50 percent 
     of children who appear before juvenile courts in matters 
     involving allegations of abuse and neglect have been exposed 
     to domestic violence in their homes.
       Sec. 803. Definitions. In this title:
       (1) Domestic violence.--The term ``domestic violence'' 
     includes an act or threat of violence, not including an act 
     of self defense, committed by a current or former spouse of 
     the victim, by a person with whom the victim shares a child 
     in common, by a person who is cohabiting with or has 
     cohabited with the victim, by a person who is or has been in 
     a social relationship of a romantic or intimate nature with 
     the victim, by a person similarly situated to a spouse of the 
     victim under the domestic or family violence laws of the 
     jurisdiction of the victim, or by any other person against a 
     victim who is protected from that person's act under the 
     domestic or family violence laws of the jurisdiction.
       (2) Indian tribal government.--The term ``Indian tribal 
     government'' has the meaning given the term ``tribal 
     organization'' in section 102 of the Older Americans Act of 
     1965 (42 U.S.C. 3002).
       (3) State.--The term ``State'' means each of the several 
     States of the United States, the District of Columbia, the 
     Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin 
     Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the 
     Northern Mariana Islands.
       (4) Witness domestic violence.--
       (A) In general.--The term ``witness domestic violence'' 
     means to witness--
       (i) an act of domestic violence that constitutes actual or 
     attempted physical assault; or
       (ii) a threat or other action that places the victim in 
     fear of domestic violence.
       (B) Witness.--In subparagraph (A), the term ``witness'' 
     means to--
       (i) directly observe an act, threat, or action described in 
     subparagraph (A), or the aftermath of that act, threat, or 
     action; or
       (ii) be within earshot of an act, threat, or action 
     described in subparagraph (A), or the aftermath of that act, 
     threat, or action.
       Sec. 804. Grants to Address the Needs of Children Who 
     Witness Domestic Violence. (a) In General.--The Family 
     Violence Prevention and Services Act (42 U.S.C. 10401 et 
     seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following:

     to be appropriated to carry out this section $15,000,000 for 
     each of fiscal years 2000 through 2002.

                    TITLE IX--HATE CRIMES PREVENTION

       Sec. 901. Short Title. This title may be cited as the 
     ``Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 1999''.
       Sec. 902. Findings. Congress finds that--
       (1) the incidence of violence motivated by the actual or 
     perceived race, color, national origin, religion, sexual 
     orientation, gender, or disability of the victim poses a 
     serious national problem;
       (2) such violence disrupts the tranquility and safety of 
     communities and is deeply divisive;
       (3) existing Federal law is inadequate to address this 
     problem;
       (4) such violence affects interstate commerce in many ways, 
     including--
       (A) by impeding the movement of members of targeted groups 
     and forcing such members to move across State lines to escape 
     the incidence or risk of such violence; and
       (B) by preventing members of targeted groups from 
     purchasing goods and services, obtaining or sustaining 
     employment or participating in other commercial activity;
       (5) perpetrators cross State lines to commit such violence;
       (6) instrumentalities of interstate commerce are used to 
     facilitate the commission of such violence;
       (7) such violence is committed using articles that have 
     traveled in interstate commerce;
       (8) violence motivated by bias that is a relic of slavery 
     can constitute badges and incidents of slavery;
       (9) although many State and local authorities are now and 
     will continue to be responsible for prosecuting the 
     overwhelming majority of violent crimes in the United States, 
     including violent crimes motivated by bias, Federal 
     jurisdiction over certain violent crimes motivated by bias is 
     necessary to supplement State and local jurisdiction and 
     ensure that justice is achieved in each case;
       (10) Federal jurisdiction over certain violent crimes 
     motivated by bias enables Federal, State, and local 
     authorities to work together as partners in the investigation 
     and prosecution of such crimes;
       (11) the problem of hate crime is sufficiently serious, 
     widespread, and interstate in nature as to warrant Federal 
     assistance to States and local jurisdictions; and
       (12) freedom of speech and association are fundamental 
     values protected by the first amendment to the Constitution 
     of the United States, and it is the purpose of this title to 
     criminalize acts of violence, and threats of violence, 
     carried out because of the actual or perceived race, color, 
     religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or 
     disability of the victim, not to criminalize beliefs in the 
     abstract.
       Sec. 903. Definition of Hate Crime. In this title, the term 
     ``hate crime'' has the same meaning as in section 280003(a) 
     of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 
     (28 U.S.C. 994 note).
       Sec. 904. Prohibition of Certain Acts of Violence. Section 
     245 of title 18, United States Code, is amended--
       (1) by redesignating subsections (c) and (d) as subsections 
     (d) and (e), respectively; and
       (2) by inserting after subsection (b) the following:
       ``(c)(1) Whoever, whether or not acting under color of law, 
     willfully causes bodily injury to any person or, through the 
     use of fire, a firearm, or an explosive device, attempts to 
     cause bodily injury to any person, because of the actual or 
     perceived race, color, religion, or national origin of any 
     person--
       ``(A) shall be imprisoned not more than 10 years, or fined 
     in accordance with this title, or both; and
       ``(B) shall be imprisoned for any term of years or for 
     life, or fined in accordance with this title, or both if--
       ``(i) death results from the acts committed in violation of 
     this paragraph; or
       ``(ii) the acts committed in violation of this paragraph 
     include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual 
     abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an 
     attempt to kill.
       ``(2)(A) Whoever, whether or not acting under color of law, 
     in any circumstance described in subparagraph (B), willfully 
     causes bodily injury to any person or, through the use of 
     fire, a firearm, or an explosive device, attempts to cause 
     bodily injury to any person, because of the actual or 
     perceived religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability 
     of any person--
       ``(i) shall be imprisoned not more than 10 years, or fined 
     in accordance with this title, or both; and
       ``(ii) shall be imprisoned for any term of years or for 
     life, or fined in accordance with this title, or both, if--
       ``(I) death results from the acts committed in violation of 
     this paragraph; or
       ``(II) the acts committed in violation of this paragraph 
     include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual 
     abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an 
     attempt to kill.
       ``(B) For purposes of subparagraph (A), the circumstances 
     described in this subparagraph are that--
       ``(i) in connection with the offense, the defendant or the 
     victim travels in interstate or foreign commerce, uses a 
     facility or instrumentality of interstate or foreign 
     commerce, or engages in any activity affecting interstate or 
     foreign commerce; or
       ``(ii) the offense is in or affects interstate or foreign 
     commerce.
       ``(3) No prosecution of any offense described in this 
     subsection may be undertaken by the United States, except 
     upon the certification in writing of the Attorney General, 
     the Deputy Attorney General, the Associate Attorney General, 
     or any Assistant Attorney General specially designated by the 
     Attorney General that--
       ``(A) he or she has reasonable cause to believe that the 
     actual or perceived race, color, national origin, religion, 
     sexual orientation, gender, or disability of any person was a 
     motivating factor underlying the alleged conduct of the 
     defendant; and
       ``(B) that he or his designee or she or her designee has 
     consulted with State or local law enforcement officials 
     regarding the prosecution and determined that--
       ``(i) the State does not have jurisdiction or refuses to 
     assume jurisdiction;
       ``(ii) the State has requested that the Federal Government 
     assume jurisdiction; or
       ``(iii) actions by State and local law enforcement 
     officials have or are likely to leave demonstratively 
     unvindicated the Federal interest in eradicating bias-
     motivated violence.''.
       Sec. 905. Duties of Federal Sentencing Commission. (a) 
     Amendment of Federal Sentencing Guidelines.--Pursuant to its 
     authority under section 994 of title 28, United States Code, 
     the United States Sentencing Commission shall study the issue 
     of adult recruitment of juveniles to commit hate crimes and 
     shall, if appropriate, amend the Federal sentencing 
     guidelines to provide sentencing enhancements (in addition to 
     the sentencing enhancement provided for the use of a minor 
     during the commission of an offense) for adult defendants who 
     recruit juveniles to assist in the commission of hate crimes.
       (b) Consistency With Other Guidelines.--In carrying out 
     this section, the United States Sentencing Commission shall--
       (1) ensure that there is reasonable consistency with other 
     Federal sentencing guidelines; and
       (2) avoid duplicative punishments for substantially the 
     same offense.
       Sec. 906. Grant Program. (a) Authority to Make Grants.--The 
     Office of Justice Programs of the Department of Justice shall 
     make grants, in accordance with such regulations as the 
     Attorney General may prescribe, to State and local programs 
     designed to combat hate crimes committed by juveniles, 
     including programs to train local law enforcement officers in 
     investigating, prosecuting, and preventing hate crimes.
       (b) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized 
     to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out 
     this section.
       Sec. 907. Authorization for Additional Personnel to Assist 
     State and Local Law Enforcement. There are authorized to be 
     appropriated to the Department of the Treasury and the 
     Department of Justice, including the Community Relations 
     Service, for fiscal years 2000, 2001, and 2002 such sums as 
     are

[[Page 17964]]

     necessary to increase the number of personnel to prevent and 
     respond to alleged violations of section 245 of title 18, 
     United States Code (as amended by this title).
       Sec. 908. Severability. If any provision of this title, an 
     amendment made by this title, or the application of such 
     provision or amendment to any person or circumstance is held 
     to be unconstitutional, the remainder of this title, the 
     amendments made by this title, and the application of the 
     provisions of such to any person or circumstance shall not be 
     affected thereby.
       Sec. 909. Hate Crimes. (a) Declarations.--Congress declares 
     that--
       (1) further efforts must be taken at all levels of 
     government to respond to the staggering brutality of hate 
     crimes that have riveted public attention and shocked the 
     Nation;
       (2) hate crimes are prompted by bias and are committed to 
     send a message of hate to targeted communities, usually 
     defined on the basis of immutable traits;
       (3) the prominent characteristic of a hate crime is that it 
     devastates not just the actual victim and the victim's family 
     and friends, but frequently savages the community sharing the 
     traits that caused the victim to be selected;
       (4) any efforts undertaken by the Federal Government to 
     combat hate crimes must respect the primacy that States and 
     local officials have traditionally been accorded in the 
     criminal prosecution of acts constituting hate crimes; and
       (5) an overly broad reaction by the Federal Government to 
     this serious problem might ultimately diminish the 
     accountability of State and local officials in responding to 
     hate crimes and transgress the constitutional limitations on 
     the powers vested in Congress under the Constitution.
       (b) Studies.--
       (1) Collection of data.--
       (A) Definition of hate crime.--In this paragraph, the term 
     ``hate crime'' means--
       (i) a crime described in subsection (b)(1) of the first 
     section of the Hate Crime Statistics Act (28 U.S.C. 534 
     note); and
       (ii) a crime that manifests evidence of prejudice based on 
     gender or age.
       (B) Collection from cross-section of states.--Not later 
     than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the 
     Comptroller General of the United States, in consultation 
     with the National Governors' Association, shall select 10 
     jurisdictions with laws classifying certain types of crimes 
     as hate crimes and 10 jurisdictions without such laws from 
     which to collect data described in subparagraph (C) over a 
     12-month period.
       (C) Data to be collected.--The data to be collected are--
       (i) the number of hate crimes that are reported and 
     investigated;
       (ii) the percentage of hate crimes that are prosecuted and 
     the percentage that result in conviction;
       (iii) the length of the sentences imposed for crimes 
     classified as hate crimes within a jurisdiction, compared 
     with the length of sentences imposed for similar crimes 
     committed in jurisdictions with no hate crime laws; and
       (iv) references to and descriptions of the laws under which 
     the offenders were punished.
       (D) Costs.--Participating jurisdictions shall be reimbursed 
     for the reasonable and necessary costs of compiling data 
     under this paragraph.
       (2) Study of trends.--
       (A) In general.--Not later than 18 months after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General of the United 
     States and the General Accounting Office shall complete a 
     study that analyzes the data collected under paragraph (1) 
     and under the Hate Crime Statistics Act of 1990 to determine 
     the extent of hate crime activity throughout the country and 
     the success of State and local officials in combating that 
     activity.
       (B) Identification of trends.--In the study conducted under 
     subparagraph (A), the Comptroller General of the United 
     States and the General Accounting Office shall identify any 
     trends in the commission of hate crimes specifically by--
       (i) geographic region;
       (ii) type of crime committed; and
       (iii) the number of hate crimes that are prosecuted and the 
     number for which convictions are obtained.
       (c) Model Statute.--
       (1) In general.--To encourage the identification and 
     prosecution of hate crimes throughout the country, the 
     Attorney General shall, through the National Conference of 
     Commissioners on Uniform State Laws of the American Law 
     Institute or another appropriate forum, and in consultation 
     with the States, develop a model statute to carry out the 
     goals described in subsection (a) and criminalize acts 
     classified as hate crimes.
       (2) Requirements.--In developing the model statute, the 
     Attorney General shall--
       (A) include in the model statute crimes that manifest 
     evidence of prejudice; and
       (B) prepare an analysis of all reasons why any crime 
     motivated by prejudice based on any traits of a victim should 
     or should not be included.
       (d) Support for Criminal Investigations and Prosecutions by 
     State and Local Law Enforcement Officials.--
       (1) Assistance other than financial assistance.--
       (A) In general.--At the request of a law enforcement 
     official of a State or a political subdivision of a State, 
     the Attorney General, acting through the Director of the 
     Federal Bureau of Investigation, shall provide technical, 
     forensic, prosecutorial, or any other form of assistance in 
     the criminal investigation or prosecution of any crime that--
       (i) constitutes a crime of violence (as defined in section 
     16 of title 18, United States Code);
       (ii) constitutes a felony under the laws of the State; and
       (iii) is motivated by prejudice based on the victim's race, 
     ethnicity, or religion or is a violation of the State's hate 
     crime law.
       (B) Priority.--In providing assistance under subparagraph 
     (A), the Attorney General shall give priority to crimes 
     committed by offenders who have committed crimes in more than

     paragraph shall be approved or disapproved by the Attorney 
     General not later than 24 hours after the application is

     of such grants, and the effectiveness of the grant funds 
     awarded.
