              L. CHAFEE (AND FEINSTEIN) AMENDMENT NO. 2923

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. L. CHAFEE (for himself and Mrs. Feinstein) submitted an amendment 
intended to be proposed by them to the concurrent resolution (S. Con. 
Res. 101) setting forth the congressional budget for the United States 
Government for fiscal years 2001 through 2005 and revising the 
budgetary levels for fiscal year 2000; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON RESTORING FUNDS TO HOSPITALS 
                   CUT BY THE BALANCED BUDGET ACT OF 1997.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) the Balanced Budget Reform Act of 1999 provided 
     insufficient relief to hospitals;
       (2) in addition to reductions to expenditures under the 
     medicare program, reductions made in the Balanced Budget Act 
     of 1997 over 5 years to Federal medicaid disproportionate 
     share hospital (DSH) expenditures threaten the ability of 
     hospitals to provide care for the most vulnerable 
     populations;

[[Page 4686]]

       (3) Federal medicaid DSH expenditures help reimburse the 
     costs incurred by hospitals in treating medicaid patients and 
     the uninsured and are needed to help our Nation's safety net 
     hospitals.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the levels in this resolution on the budget assume that 
     the Senate should enact legislation that would reverse the 
     unintended consequences of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 by 
     freezing the reductions in medicaid disproportionate share 
     hospital (DSH) expenditures at fiscal year 2000 levels and 
     then allowing those expenditure levels to increase by the 
     percentage change in the consumer price index for all urban 
     consumers (all items; U.S. city average) for the following 5 
     years.
                                 ______
                                 

                JEFFORDS (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 2924

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. JEFFORDS (for himself, Ms. Snowe, Mr. Dodd, Mr. Bayh, Mr. 
Lieberman, Mr. Reed, Mr. Schumer, Mr. Kerry, Ms. Collins, Mr. Leahy, 
Mr. Kohl, Mr. L. Chafee, and Mr. Wellstone) submitted the following 
amendment intended to be proposed by them to the concurrent resolution, 
S. Con. Res. 101, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following new section:

     SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON THE LOW-INCOME HOME ENERGY 
                   ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
       (1) Home energy assistance for working poor and low-income 
     families with children, elderly individuals on fixed incomes, 
     individuals with disabilities, and others who need such 
     assistance is a critical part of the social safety net in 
     cold weather areas during the winter, and a source of 
     necessary cooling aid during the summer.
       (2) The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program is a 
     highly targeted, cost-effective way to help millions of low-
     income Americans pay their home energy bills. More than \2/3\ 
     of households eligible for assistance through the Program 
     have annual incomes of less than $8,000, and approximately 
     \1/2\ of the households have annual incomes below $6,000.
       (3) Funding for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance 
     Program has declined 48 percent since fiscal year 1985, and 
     as a result many elderly individuals on fixed incomes and 
     working poor families have lost critical assistance.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the budgetary levels in this resolution assume that--
       (1) an amount of not less than $1,400,000,000 (an amount 
     currently available to carry out the Low-Income Home Energy 
     Assistance Act of 1981 for fiscal year 2000) will be made 
     available to carry out such Act for fiscal year 2001; and
       (2) $1,400,000,000 of the amount described in paragraph (1) 
     will not be funds designated by Congress to be emergency 
     requirements pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A) of the Balanced 
     Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (2 U.S.C. 
     901(b)(2)(A)), regardless of whether any additional funds (in 
     excess of the $1,400,000,000) made available as described in 
     paragraph (1) are funds that are so designated.
                                 ______
                                 

                       LINCOLN AMENDMENT NO. 2925

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mrs. LINCOLN submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by her to 
the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 101, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING AGING FLOOD CONTROL 
                   STRUCTURES.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) since 1948, communities and the Natural Resources 
     Conservation Service of the Department of Agriculture have 
     constructed over 10,400 flood control structures in 47 
     States, at an estimated infrastructure investment of 
     $14,000,000,000;
       (2) many of those structures are now reaching the end of 
     their design life; and
       (3) unless those aging structures are rehabilitated, the 
     structures may--
       (A) pose significant threats to human health, public 
     safety, property, and the environment; and
       (B) pose risks of potential hardship to the communities in 
     the vicinities of the structures, including through potential 
     loss of flood control, community water supplies, ability to 
     conserve natural resources, and economic benefits, that were 
     brought about as a result of those flood control structures.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the levels in this resolution, and any legislation 
     enacted pursuant to this resolution, assume that the Federal 
     Government will offer technical assistance and cost-shared 
     financial assistance to communities to ensure that the flood 
     control structures constructed by the communities and the 
     Natural Resources Conservation Service of the Department of 
     Agriculture are rehabilitated and continue to serve the 
     protective purposes for which they were constructed.
                                 ______

                       SHELBY AMENDMENT NO. 2927

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. SHELBY submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to 
the concurrent resolution, S. Con. Res. 101, supra; as follows:

       At the end of title III, insert the following:

     SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
       (1) Our Nation's children have become the ever increasing 
     targets of marketing activity.
       (2) Such marketing activity, which includes Internet sales 
     pitches, commercials broadcast via in-classroom television 
     programming, product placements, contests, and giveaways, is 
     taking place every day during class time in our Nation's 
     public schools.
       (3) Many State and local entities enter into arrangements 
     allowing marketing activity in schools in an effort to make 
     up budgetary shortfalls or to gain access to expensive 
     technology or equipment.
       (4) These marketing efforts take advantage of the time and 
     captive audiences provided by taxpayer-funded schools.
       (5) These marketing efforts involve activities that 
     compromise the privacy of our Nation's children.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the levels in this resolution assume that--

[[Page 4687]]

       (1) in-school marketing and information-gathering 
     activities--
       (A) are a waste of student class time and taxpayer money;
       (B) exploit captive student audiences for commercial gain; 
     and
       (C) compromise the privacy rights of our Nation's school 
     children and are a violation of the public trust Americans 
     place in the public education system;
       (2) State and local educators should remove commercial 
     distractions from our Nation's public schools and should 
     protect the privacy of school-aged children in our Nation's 
     classrooms;
       (3) Federal funds should not be used in any way to support 
     the commercialization of our Nation's classrooms or the 
     exploitation of student privacy, nor to purchase 
     advertisements from entities that market to school children 
     or violate student privacy during the school day; and
       (4) Federal funds should be made available, in the form of 
     block grants, to State and local entities in order to provide 
     the entities with the financial flexibility to avoid the 
     necessity of having to enter into relationships with third 
     parties that involve violations of student privacy or the 
     introduction of commercialization into our Nation's 
     classrooms.

       (a) In General.--In the Senate, aggregates, allocations, 
     functional totals and other budgetary levels and limits may 
     be revised for legislation to fund improvements to health 
     care programs for military retirees and their dependents in 
     order to fulfill the promises made to them, provided that the 
     enactment of that legislation will not cause an on-budget 
     deficit for--
       (1) fiscal year 2001; or
       (2) the period of fiscal years 2001 through 2005.
       (b) Revised Levels.--Upon the consideration of legislation

       At the end of title III, add the following:

     SEC. __. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING ADEQUATE FUNDING OF THE 
                   DEFENSE BUDGET.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States remains exposed to ballistic missile 
     attack.
       (2) The morale and readiness levels of the Armed Forces of 
     the United States are declining to a point not seen since the 
     ``hollow force'' of the 1970s.
       (3) The investment in spending for the Armed Forces has not 
     kept pace with the worldwide operational tempo of the Armed 
     Forces.
       (4) The investment in science and technology by the United 
     States has decreased to a point that threatens the ability of 
     the United States to maintain technological superiority on 
     the battlefield of the future.
       (5) The health care delivery system for United States 
     military personnel, including regular, reserve, and retired 
     personnel, is wholly inadequate.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that it 
     should enact legislation that funds the defense budget at 
     levels commensurate with the threat to the national security 
     interests of the United States.
                                 ______

  Mr. BAYH submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the 
concurrent resolution, S. Con. Res. 101, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE RELATING TO THE HUMAN GENOME 
                   PROJECT.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
       (1) The human genome project is an international effort 
     lead by the United States and the United Kingdom that will 
     revolutionize the delivery of health care.
       (2) The National Institutes of Health's National Human 
     Genome Research Institute and the Department of Energy's 
     Human Genome Program together make up the U.S. component of 
     the Human Genome Project, the world's largest centrally 
     coordinated biology research project.
       (3) The Human Genome Project is determined to complete the 
     nucleotide sequence of human DNA, to localize the estimated 
     50,000 to 100,000 genes within the human genome.
       (4) In addition, another major component of the human 
     genome research effort is to analyze the ethical, legal, and 
     social implications of genetic knowledge.
       (5) There are an estimated 3,000,000,000 letters to map and 
     sequence and up to 100,000 genes to identify that makeup the 
     human genetic code. Of the 3,000,000,000 letters, 
     2,000,000,000 have already been mapped and sequenced in 
     working draft form.
       (6) As a result of the Human Genome Project's efforts, a 
     working draft that covers at least 90 percent of the genome 
     is expected to be released this year.
       (7) The availability of genetic information requires humans 
     to use the information wisely and appropriately, free of 
     discrimination.
       (8) The President's fiscal year 2001 budget requests a 
     $1,000,000,000 increase in the biomedical research activities 
     at the National Institutes of Health to support research in 
     areas such as diabetes, brain disorders, cancer, genetic 
     medicine, disease prevention strategies, and development of 
     an AIDS vaccine.
       (9) The Senate has previously passed a sense of the Senate 
     that expresses support for the doubling of funding for the 
     National Institutes of Health over 5 years.
       (10) The completion of the Human Genome Project will have 
     profound impacts on the way health care is delivered. It will 
     provide information that constitutes a basic set of inherited 
     instructions for the development and functioning of a human 
     being.
       (11) This data will be primarily used to create medications 
     that can prevent genetic disorders from surfacing and allow 
     treatment to begin at earlier stages.
       (12) Genomics should allow us to live not only longer but 
     healthier lives. By identifying the genetic causes of 
     terminal illnesses, genomics may make it possible for a child 
     born today to have a long and healthier life.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the levels underlying this resolution assume that the 
     efforts of the National Institutes of Health and the 
     Department of Energy in the Human Genome Project will be 
     recognized and strongly supported to advance the world's 
     understanding of the genetic make-up of humans and develop 
     one of the most profound scientific discoveries of our time, 
     and to support swift advancement in this area.
                                 ______

                      ASHCROFT AMENDMENT NO. 2940

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. ASHCROFT submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to 
the concurrent resolution, S. Con. Res. 101, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC.   . SENSE OF THE SENATE ON GUARANTEEING ADEQUATE FUNDING 
                   FOR PROGRAMS TO FIGHT METHAMPHETAMINE.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) drug use in America, especially among our youth, is 
     unacceptably high;
       (2) keeping drugs out of the hands of our children and off 
     our streets can dramatically reduce violent crime in America;
       (3) one of the most dangerous drug epidemics facing America 
     today, is the meteoric rise in the use of methamphetamine;
       (4) methamphetamine, or ``meth'' as it is commonly called, 
     is highly addictive, highly destructive, cheap, and easy to 
     manufacture.
       (5) federal, state, and local law enforcement officials 
     often do not have the necessary resources to combat this 
     growing meth epidemic;
       (6) despite the appropriation of over $35 million dollars 
     in the past two appropriations cycles for the Drug 
     Enforcement Administration to train local law enforcement in 
     the meth problem continues to grow;
       (7) given that meth use continues to grow at an alarming 
     rate, more funding is necessary to assist law enforcement 
     officials in the fight against this explosive problem and in 
     the clean-up of meth labs.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the assumptions underlying the functional totals in this 
     resolution and legislation enacted pursuant to this 
     resolution assume that adequate funds will be provided in 
     fiscal year 2001 to--
       (1) establish programs for state and local law enforcement 
     personnel regarding the clean-up and handling of 
     methamphetamine lab waste, including basic clandestine 
     laboratory certification training and clandestine laboratory 
     recertification and awareness training;
       (2) combat the trafficking of methamphetamine and 
     amphetamine in areas designated by the Director of National 
     Drug Control Policy as high intensity drug trafficking areas;
       (3) combat the illegal manufacturing and trafficking in 
     methamphetamine and amphetamine, including assisting State 
     and local law enforcement in small and mid-sized communities 
     in all phase of investigations related to such manufacturing 
     and trafficking; and
       (4) expand activities in connection with the treatment of 
     methamphetamine or amphetamine abuse or addiction; and for 
     planning, establishing, or administering community-based and 
     school-based prevention programs relating to methamphetamine 
     and other illicit drugs.

                  KOHL (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 2942

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. KOHL (for himself, Mr. Reid, and Mr. Grassley) submitted the 
following amendment intended to be proposed by them to the concurrent 
resolution, S. Con. Res. 101, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC.   . SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A 
                   NATIONAL BACKGROUND CHECK SYSTEM FOR LONG-TERM 
                   CARE WORKERS.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
       (1) The impending retirement of the baby boom generation 
     will greatly increase the demand and need for quality long-
     term care and it is incumbent on Congress and the President 
     to ensure that medicare and medicaid patients are protected 
     from abuse, neglect, and mistreatment.
       (2) Although the majority of long-term care facilities do 
     an excellent job in caring for elderly and disabled patients, 
     incidents of abuse and neglect and mistreatment do occur at 
     an unacceptable rate and are not limited to nursing homes 
     alone.
       (3) Current Federal and State safeguards are inadequate 
     because there is little or no information sharing between 
     States about known abusers and no common State procedures for 
     tracking abusers from State to State and facility to 
     facility.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the assumptions underlying the functional totals in this 
     concurrent resolution on the budget assume that a national 
     registry of abusive long-term care workers should be 
     established by building upon existing infrastructures at the 
     Federal and State levels that would enable long-term care 
     providers who participate in the medicare and medicaid 
     programs to conduct background checks on prospective 
     employees.
                                 ______
                                 

                  BYRD (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 2943

  Mr. BYRD (for himself, Mr. Warner, Mr. Baucus, Mr. Voinovich, Mr. 
Lautenberg, Mr. Bond, Mr. Domenici, Mrs. Lincoln, Mr. Robb, and Mr. 
Bingaman) proposed an amendment to the concurrent resolution, S. Con. 
Res. 101, supra; as follows:

     ``SEC.   . SENSE OF THE SENATE ON THE CONTINUED USE OF 
                   FEDERAL FUEL TAXES FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND 
                   REHABILITATION OF OUR NATION'S HIGHWAYS, 
                   BRIDGES, AND TRANSIT SYSTEMS.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) current law, as stipulated in the Transportation Equity 
     Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), requires all federal 
     gasoline taxes be deposited into the Highway Trust Fund;
       (2) current law, as stipulated in TEA-21, guarantees that 
     all such deposits to the Highway Trust Fund are spent in full 
     on the construction and rehabilitation of our nation's 
     highways, bridges, and transit systems;
       (3) the funding guarantees contained in TEA-21 are 
     essential to the ability of the nation's governors, highway 
     commissioners, and transit providers to address the growing 
     backlog of critical transportation investments in order to 
     stem the deterioration of our road and transit systems, 
     improve the safety of our highways, and reduce the growth of 
     congestion that is choking off economic growth in communities 
     across the nation;
       (4) any effort to reduce the federal gasoline tax or de-
     link the relationship between highway user fees and highway 
     spending pose a great danger to the integrity of the Highway 
     Trust Fund and the ability of the states to invest adequately 
     in our transportation infrastructure; and
       (5) proposals to reduce the federal gasoline tax threaten 
     to endanger the spending levels guaranteed in TEA-21 while 
     providing no guarantee that consumers will experience any 
     reduction in price at the gas pump.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the functional totals in this budget resolution do not 
     assume the reduction of any federal gasoline taxes on either 
     a temporary or permanent basis.''

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING BREAST AND CERVICAL 
                   CANCER.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
       (1) The National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection 
     Program under title XV of the Public Health Service Act (42 
     U.S.C. 300k et seq.) (referred to in this section as the 
     ``NBCCEDP'') provides funding only for screening and not 
     treatment of these breast and cervical cancers.
       (2) From its inception in 1990 through March 1999, the 
     NBCCEDP has provided over 1,000,000 mammograms to women 40 
     years of age and older. Of these, over 77,000 were found to 
     be abnormal and 5,830 cases of breast cancer were diagnosed.

       (3) Of all women screened by the NBCCEDP, over 6,200 cases 
     of breast cancer have been diagnosed.
       (4) The NBCCEDP has diagnosed over 34,000 precancerous 
     cervical lesions and over 550 cases of cervical cancer.
       (5) Screening must be coupled with treatment to reduce 
     cancer mortality.
       (6) The current system for treatment for low-income, 
     uninsured women diagnosed with breast or cervical cancer in 
     the NBCCEDP is an ad hoc patchwork of providers, volunteers, 
     and local programs scrambling to find treatment dollars.
       (7) Time and effort required to arrange for treatment for 
     women diagnosed through the NBCCEDP have begun to divert 
     resources away from screening services, allowing the program 
     to screen only 12 to 15 percent of eligible women.
       (8) There is a precedent for covering participants in the 
     NBCCEDP under the medicaid program under title XIX of the 
     Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396 et seq.).
       (9) The Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Act of 1999 
     (Senate bill 662 106th Congress) has 57 bipartisan 
     cosponsors, and would establish an optional State medicaid 
     benefit for coverage of women screened and diagnosed with 
     breast or cervical cancer under the NBCCEDP.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the levels in this resolution, and legislation enacted 
     pursuant to this resolution, assume that there should be 
     passage of legislation to provide medical assistance for 
     certain women screened and found to have breast or cervical 
     cancer under the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early 
     Detection Program under title XV of the Public Health Service 
     Act (42 U.S.C. 300k et seq.).

       On page 30, line 21, insert the following:

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. ASHCROFT (for himself, Mr. Inhofe, Mr. Brownback, Mr. Gregg, Mr. 
Allard, and Mr. Santorum) submitted an amendment intended to be 
proposed by them to the concurrent resolution, S. Con. Res. 101, supra; 
as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert:

     SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING INVESTMENT OF SOCIAL 
                   SECURITY TRUST FUNDS.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) Government investment of the social security trust 
     funds in the stock market is a gamble Congress should be 
     unwilling to make on behalf of the millions who receive and 
     depend on social security to meet their retirement needs;
       (2) in 1999, the Senate voted 99-0 to oppose Government 
     investment of the social security trust funds in private 
     financial markets;
       (3) in addition to the unanimous opposition of the United 
     States Senate, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and 
     Securities and Exchange Commissioner Arthur Levitt also 
     oppose the idea; and
       (4) despite this opposition, and despite the dangers 
     inherent in having the Government invest social security 
     trust funds in private financial markets, President Clinton 
     has once again suggested, on page 37 of the Administration's 
     proposed fiscal year 2001 Federal budget, that the Government 
     invest part of the social security trust funds in corporate 
     equities.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the assumptions underlying the functional totals in this 
     resolution assume that the Federal Government should not 
     directly invest contributions made to the Federal Old-Age and 
     Survivors Insurance Trust Fund and the Federal Disability 
     Insurance Trust Fund established under section 201 of the 
     Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 401), or any interest derived 
     from those contributions, in private financial markets.

                SANTORUM (AND GRAMS) AMENDMENT NO. 2947

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. SANTORUM (for himself and Mr. Grams) submitted an amendment 
intended to be proposed by them to the concurrent resolution, S. Con. 
Res. 101, supra; as follows:

       At the end of title III, add the following:

     SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING INCREASING ACCESS TO 
                   HEALTH INSURANCE.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) 44,400,000 Americans are currently without health 
     insurance--an increase of more than 5,000,000 since 1993--and 
     this number is expected to increase to nearly 60,000,000 
     people in the next 10 years;
       (2) the cost of health insurance continues to rise, a key 
     factor in the increasing number of uninsured;
       (3) more than half of these uninsured Americans are the 
     working poor or near poor;
       (4) the uninsured are much more likely not to receive 
     needed medical care and much more likely to need 
     hospitalization for avoidable conditions and to rely on 
     emergency room care, trends which significantly contribute to 
     the rising costs of uncompensated care by health care 
     providers and the costs of health care delivery in general; 
     and
       (5) there is a consensus that working Americans and their 
     families will suffer from reduced access to health insurance.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the levels in this resolution assume that increasing 
     access to affordable health care coverage for all Americans, 
     in a manner which maximizes individual choice and control of 
     health care dollars, should be a legislative priority of 
     Congress.
                                 ______
                                 

                     REID AMENDMENTS NOS. 2948-2950

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. REID submitted three amendments intended to be proposed by him to 
the concurrent resolution, S. Con. Res. 101, supra; as follows:

                           Amendment No. 2948

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING AN INCREASE IN 
                   FUNDING FOR WOMEN'S HEALTH RESEARCH.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) less than 15 percent of the funding at the National 
     Institutes of Health is for women's health research, yet 
     women make up approximately 55 percent of the population;
       (2) National Institutes of Health funding for women's 
     health has not increased to meet the growth in the number of 
     women, especially older women;
       (3) between fiscal years 1997 and 2000, the percentage of 
     National Institutes of Health funding dedicated to women's 
     health has actually decreased; and
       (4) according to the Census Bureau, by 2010 the growth rate 
     of the older population will be 3\1/2\ times that of the 
     total population, with older women one of the fastest growing 
     cohorts, creating an urgent need for research into the 
     diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of age-related diseases.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the levels of this resolution assume that a portion of 
     any increase in funding for the National Institutes of Health 
     should be used to increase the amount of funding for women's 
     health research so that progress is made in achieving equity 
     in women's health research funding at the National Institutes 
     of Health.

                           Amendment No. 2949

       At the end of title III, insert the following:

     SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING SOCIAL SECURITY NOTCH 
                   BABIES.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) the Social Security Amendments of 1977 (Pub. Law 95-
     216) substantially altered the way social security benefits 
     are computed;
       (2) those amendments resulted in disparate benefits 
     depending upon the year in which a worker becomes eligible 
     for benefits; and
       (3) those individuals born between the years 1917 and 1926, 
     and who are commonly referred to as ``notch babies'' receive 
     benefits that are lower than those retirees who were born 
     before or after those years.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the levels in this resolution assume that Congress 
     should reevaluate the social security benefits of workers who 
     attained age 65 after 1981 and before 1992.
                                  ____


                           Amendment No. 2950

       At the end of title III, insert the following:

     SEC. __. REVIEW OF EXPORT OF CERTAIN HIGH-PERFORMANCE 
                   COMPUTERS.

       It is the sense of the Senate that the levels in this 
     resolution assume that any new composite theoretical 
     performance level recommended by the President pursuant to 
     section 1211 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 1998 (50 U.S.C. App. 2404 note) should take 
     effect 30 days after the President submits a report under 
     such section 1211.

     amend the Fair

     SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING DIGITAL OPPORTUNITY.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
       (1) A digital divide exist in America. Low-income, urban 
     and rural families are less likely to have access to the 
     Internet and computers. African American and Hispanic 
     families are only \2/5\ as likely to have Internet access as 
     white families. Access by Native Americans to the Internet 
     and to computers is statistically negligible.
       (2) Regardless of income level, Americans living in rural 
     areas lag behind in Internet access. Individuals with lower 
     incomes who live in rural areas are half as likely to have 
     Internet access as individuals who live in urban areas.
       (3) The digital divide for the poorest Americans has grown 
     by 29 percent since 1997.
       (4) Access to computers and the Internet and the ability to 
     use this technology effectively is becoming increasingly 
     important for full participation in America's economic, 
     political and social life.
       (5) Unequal access to technology and high-tech skills by 
     income, educational level, race and geography could deepen 
     and reinforce the divisions that exist within American 
     society.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the functional totals underlying this resolution on the 
     budget assume that--
       (1) to ensure that all children are computer literate by 
     the time they finish the eighth grade, regardless of race, 
     ethnicity, gender, income, geography or disability, to 
     broaden access to information technologies, to provide 
     workers, teachers and students with information technology 
     training, and to promote innovative online content and 
     software applications that will improve commerce, education 
     and quality of life, initiatives that increase digital 
     opportunity should be provided for as follows:
       (A) $200,000,000 in tax incentives should be provided to 
     encourage private sector donation of high quality computers, 
     sponsorship of community technology centers, training, 
     technical services and computer repair;
       (B) $450,000,000 should be provided for teacher training;
       (C) $150,000,000 for new teacher training;
       (D) $400,000,000 should be provided for school technology 
     and school libraries;
       (E) $20,000,000 should be provided to place computers and 
     trained personnel in Boys & Girls Clubs;
       (F) $25,000,000 should be provided to create an E-Corps 
     within Americorps;
       (G) $100,000,000 should be provided to create 1,000 
     Community Technology Centers in low-income urban and rural 
     communities;
       (H) $50,000,000 should be provided for public/private 
     partnerships to expand home access to computers and the 
     Internet for low-income families;
       (I) $45,000,000 should be provided to promote innovative 
     applications of information and communications technology for 
     underserved communities;
       (J) $10,000,000 should be provided to prepare Native 
     Americans for careers in Information Technology and other 
     technical fields; and
       (2) all Americans should have access to broadband 
     telecommunications capability as soon as possible and as 
     such, initiatives that increase broadband deployment should 
     be funded, including $25,000,000 to accelerate private sector 
     deployment of broadband and networks in underserved urban and 
     rural communities.

                     FITZGERALD AMENDMENT NO. 2958

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. FITZGERALD submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him 
to the concurrent resolution, S. Con. Res. 101, supra; as follow:

  At the end of title III, insert the following:

     SEC.  . SENSE OF THE SENATE ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A 
                   NATIONAL BIPARTISAN COMMISSION ON TRUST FUNDS 
                   IN THE FEDERAL DEBT.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) the Presidential Commission on Budget Concepts of 1967 
     recommended that all federal trust funds, including Social 
     Security, be included in budget totals to report a unified 
     budget;
       (2) the Federal government maintains more than 150 trust 
     funds;
       (3) surpluses from each trust fund are primarily used to 
     purchase special nonnegotiable, nonmarketable Treasury 
     securities;
       (4) every one of these nonnegotiable, nonmarketable 
     Treasury securities purchased by a trust fund increases the 
     Gross Federal Debt;
       (5) according to the Administration, one component of Gross 
     Federal Debt--debt held by the public--will fall to zero by 
     2013, while the other component of the national debt--money 
     borrowed from over 150 federal government trust funds and 
     special funds, including Social Security and Medicare--will 
     triple by 2013;
       (6) the statutory debt limit, currently $5,950,000,000,000, 
     applies to most obligations whose principal and interest are 
     guaranteed by the United States government, including both 
     debt held by the public and debt held by the trust funds and 
     other government accounts;
       (7) the current definitions of a trust fund and a federal 
     fund are ambiguous;
       (8) for the past 2 years, the United States has enjoyed 
     consecutive budget surpluses, when the Social Security and 
     other trust funds are included--for the first time since 
     1956-1957;
       (9) in 1999, the United States enjoyed its first budget 
     surplus, excluding the Social Security trust funds, since 
     1960;
       (10) nevertheless, federal debt held by government 
     accounts, including trust funds, will increase by 
     $237,318,000,000 in fiscal year 2000, according to the Office 
     of Management and Budget;
       (11) the Gross Federal Debt, which includes debt held by 
     government accounts and debt held by the public, will 
     increase by $80,251,000,000 in fiscal year 2000, according to 
     the Office of Management and Budget;
       (12) as of February 29, 2000, the total national debt was 
     $5,735,333,000,000, and is projected to reach a record 
     breaking $6,300,000,000,000 in 2010, according to the 
     Congressional Budget Office; and
       (13) many of the most basic federal budget concepts were 
     designed for deficit reduction, and are therefore outdated, 
     outmoded, and in clear need of review in light of actual and 
     projected budget surpluses.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the levels in this resolution assume that the Congress 
     will establish a National Bipartisan Commission on Trust 
     Funds in the Federal Budget which shall--
       (1) catalog all existing trust fund accounts;
       (2) review and analyze, with respect to the federal budget 
     and the public debt, the long-term financial impact of 
     including each trust fund in on-budget figures;
       (3) identify problems that threaten the financial integrity 
     of trust funds;
       (4) make recommendations for the criteria for ``trust 
     fund'' categorization, and evaluate each existing trust fund 
     using those criteria;
       (5) determine if cash balance accounting is appropriate for 
     trust funds, and if accrual accounting would provide a 
     clearer financial picture of the trust funds;
       (6) determine the appropriate relationship between the 
     federal trust funds and the national debt; and
       (7) determine the role of the trust funds in the federal 
     budget.

     SEC.   . SENSE OF THE SENATE RESPECTING THE PROPER TESTING 
                   AND USE OF CHILD SAFETY SEATS.

       (a) Purpose.--The Senate declares that it is essential to 
     ensure that children aged 12 and under are adequately 
     protected against injuries and fatalities in motor vehicle 
     crashes.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the provisions of this resolution assume that--
       (1) the Congress should enact legislation that requires the 
     National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to update and 
     improve the nation's child passenger safety standards, 
     particularly with respect to compliance testing of child 
     restraints;
       (2) additional resources within the budget of the National 
     Highway Traffic Safety Administration should be identified to 
     enable the agency to conduct biomechanics research that could 
     lead to improved testing and methodologies for assessing the 
     adequacy of child restraints; and
       (3) the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 
     should strengthen its program of educating parents about the 
     importance of properly using age- and size-appropriate child 
     safety seats.

       It is the sense of the Senate that the levels in this

     which provides for sequestration to reduce federal spending 
     by the amount necessary to ensure that, in any fiscal year, 
     the Social Security surpluses are used only for the payment 
     of Social Security benefits, retirement security, social 
     security reform, or to reduce the Federal debt held by the 
     public.

                KENNEDY (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 2963

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. KENNEDY (for himself, Mr. Frist, Mr. Lieberman, Mr. Bingaman, and 
Mr. Rockefeller) submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by them 
to the concurrent resolution, S. Con. Res. 101, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:
       (a) Findings.--
       The Senate finds that:
       (1) Federally-funded research and development and science 
     and technology programs have led to innovations that have 
     dramatically improved the quality of life for all Americans.
       (2) The Federal investment in research and development 
     conducted or underwritten by both military and civilian 
     agencies has produced benefits that have been felt in both 
     the private and public sector.
       (3) The National Science Foundation is the largest 
     supporter of non-medical basic research in the Federal 
     Government.
       (4) In 1990, the Department of Defense supported 44% of all 
     university-based engineering research, by 1999 such support 
     is estimated to have declined by 43%.
       (5) The Department of Energy leads the federal government 
     in supporting research in the physical sciences.
       (6) Technical innovation is the principal driving force 
     behind the long-term economic growth and increased standards 
     of living of the world's modern industrial societies. Other 
     nations are well aware of the pivotal role of science, 
     engineering, and technology, and they are seeking to exploit 
     it wherever possible to advance their own global 
     competitiveness.
       (7) Discoveries across the spectrum of scientific inquiry 
     have the potential to raise the standard of living and the 
     quality of life for all Americans, and as such federal 
     investments in research and technology should be balanced 
     across all disciplines, including but not limited to the 
     physical sciences and engineering, life sciences, biomedical 
     research, and information technology.
       (8) The Senate has in past legislation expressed its 
     commitment to continued investments to both civilian and 
     defense science and technology, namely in the Federal 
     Research Investment Act of 1999 and the Strom Thurmond 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999.
       (9) A continued trend of funding appropriations equal to or 
     lower than current budgetary levels will lead to permanent 
     damage to the United States research infrastructure, high 
     technology economy, and national security.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--
       It is the Sense of the Senate that:
       (1) Total federal investment in civilian research be at a 
     minimum consistent with the levels called for in the FY01 
     Administration Budget Request, as this investment manifests 
     the Senate's belief that the Federal government should have a 
     robust program of research across all disciplines of 
     scientific endeavor.
       (2) For fiscal years 2001-2008, the science and technology 
     (6.1, 6.2 and 6.3) accounts for the Department of Defense, 
     including all of the Armed Services, in Function 050 
     (National Defense), shall increase annually and at a minimum 
     achieve the levels called for in Section 214 of the Strom 
     Thurmond National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     1999.
       (3) Congressional authorizers and appropriators should 
     continue their efforts to support merit-based and peer-
     reviewed R&D programs as a priority in the federal science 
     investment portfolio.
