          STATEMENTS ON INTRODUCED BILLS AND JOINT RESOLUTIONS

      By Mr. ENZI (for himself, Mr. Lieberman, Mr. Allen, Mrs. Boxer, 
        Mr. Burns, Mr. Frist, and Mr. Ensign):
  S. 2760. A bill to direct the Securities and Exchange Commission to 
conduct a study and make recommendations regarding the accounting 
treatment of stock options for purposes of the Federal securities laws; 
to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.

  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, I rise today to introduce the Enzi-
Lieberman-Allen-Boxer amendment on stock options. Our bipartisan 
amendment helps solve many of the perceived problems with the issuance 
of stock options by giving the SEC a broad mandate to look into and 
analyze numerous issues concerning stock options, including disclosure, 
corporate governance, and

[[Page 13612]]

the benefits and detriments of expensing stock options.
  After its analysis, the SEC will be required to furnish 
recommendations, if any, for changes in corporate America's uses of 
stock options, and we envision that being done through FASB. We are not 
trying to tell FASB, the Federal Accounting Standards Board, how to do 
their work; we are trying to provide them with more information so they 
can make a consideration of that issue again.
  I and the other original cosponsors of this bill have sent a letter 
to Chairman Harvey Pitt and the other Commissioners on the SEC asking 
them to initiate on their own the action items outlined in our bill and 
to make recommendations on these issues in the next 60 days. I hope 
they take such initiative.
  Mr. President, I ask unaimous consent the letter be printed in the 
Record.
  There being no objection, the letter was ordered to be printed in the 
Record, as follows:


                                                  U.S. Senate,

                                    Washington, DC, July 19, 2002.
     Hon. Harvey L. Pitt, Chairman,
     Hon. Isaac C. Hunt, Jr., Commissioner,
     Hon. Cynthia A. Glassman, Commissioner,
     Mr. Robert K. Herdman, Chief Accountant,
     Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, DC.
       Dear Chairman Pitt, Commissioners Hunt and Glassman, and 
     Mr. Herdman: We are writing to request that the Securities 
     and Exchange Commission (SEC) analyze and propose 
     recommendations, if needed, on issues regarding stock 
     options. We have introduced legislation mandating such action 
     by the Commission, but ask that you proceed before this 
     legislation is enacted.
       The legislation is the Stock Option Fairness and 
     Accountability Act. This legislation focuses on key issues 
     regarding stock options, which include stock option pricing 
     models; disclosure to investors and shareholders; shareholder 
     approval of stock option plans; and restrictions on senior 
     management sale of stock. The bill also mandates a review of 
     the benefits and detriments of any new options expensing 
     rules on the productivity and performance of companies and 
     start-up enterprises, the recruitment retention of skilled 
     workers, and employees at various income levels, with 
     particular focus on the effect on rank-and-file employees and 
     the income of women.
       It is our view the debate on stock options has focused 
     narrowly on the accounting of stock options, and failed to 
     focus on other critical stock option policy issues. We seek 
     to broaden the debate to ensure that Congress, the 
     Commission, and other relevant agencies take action to 
     eliminate any problems which might exist with stock options, 
     while ensuring their benefits are retained.
       We believe options should be preserved and protected 
     because, when they are properly structured, they are 
     incentives for productivity and growth. In most instances, 
     they reflect America's best business values--the willingness 
     to take business risks, the vision to develop new 
     entrepreneurial companies and technologies, a way to broaden 
     ownership and participation among employees, and a strong 
     performance incentive for both management and employees. We 
     should focus on strengthening stock option incentives and 
     enabling them to yield even greater economic growth dividends 
     for our economy.
       In general, we believe the Senate should not be legislating 
     detailed accounting or regulatory standards regarding stock 
     options or other accounting issues. These are issues best 
     left to the SEC and its expert staff. The Financial 
     Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has independent authority 
     to set accounting standards, and should continue to do so. 
     That is why our legislation and this letter request that the 
     Commission address all of these issues and make 
     recommendations.
       Regarding shareholder approval of stock option plans, a 
     Special Committee of New York Stock Exchange recommended 
     shareholder approval of all stock option plans, while the 
     NASDAQ has recommended shareholder approval of any plan that 
     includes officers and directors. We want the SEC to examine 
     whether these measures are adequate, and whether any 
     additional accountability to shareholders is needed.
       Current disclosure requirements for stock options exist 
     which focus on the potential cost of stock options when they 
     are exercised, the potential dilution of earnings per share, 
     and other issues. We believe the SEC should look at whether 
     these disclosure rules should be strengthened in order to 
     provide investors and shareholders more accurate and complete 
     information.
       We understand that restricting the sale of stock acquired 
     through stock option plans is a complex and controversial 
     issue. We ask you to review whether a need exists for 
     imposition of a holding period for senior executives and 
     whether the benefits of such a rule would outweigh the costs. 
     Should you recommend such a rule, we suggest you also review 
     whether any exemptions are necessary, given individuals may 
     have a legitimate need to sell stock to raise cash to pay 
     taxes on their options or for personal emergencies. We urge 
     you to also consider whether a holding period might impose a 
     special burden on small companies and start-up enterprises, 
     where stock options form a greater proportion of employee 
     compensation.
       We appreciate the assistance of the Commission addressing 
     these vital issues and promptly making recommendations. We 
     believe we have presented you with a comprehensive agenda of 
     stock option policy issues, which will ensure positive action 
     is taken to restore investor and shareholder confidence, calm 
     and markets, and prevent perceived problems associated with 
     stock options. We look forward to receiving a response with 
     your recommendations and plan for action within 60 days.
           Sincerely,
         Senator Mike Enzi, Senator Joseph Lieberman, Senator 
           Barbara Boxer, Senator Conrad Burns, Senator John 
           Ensign, Senator George Allen, Senator Bill Frist.

  Mr. ENZI. How did we get here, to this point of perhaps possibly 
legislating on stock options? The debate on stock options became heated 
over the last few months, following the accounting debacles of Enron, 
WorldCom, and Global Crossing. I think we can all agree that the use of 
stock options did not cause the demise of these companies, but 
nevertheless their use by these and other companies has become 
increasingly scrutinized during the current accounting debate and 
evidence of top executive abuse.
  What initially raised everyone's attention to stock options was 
Enron. As we all know, Enron's executives and employees were issued 
numerous stock options. It is now clear that months before Enron filed 
for bankruptcy, executives who were aware of the true condition of the 
company, exercised millions of dollars of their options. Now, Enron 
employees--kept in the dark on company finances--are left with 
worthless Enron stock and retirement savings. While these Enron 
executives absconded with money from the sell of stock options, we all 
know the financial collapse of Enron had little to do with its 
accounting procedures on stock options. Enron went bankrupt. 
Nevertheless, concerns about stock option use by corporations have 
become magnified.
  We all know that when properly used, stock options can be a marvelous 
opportunity for all employees. In addition, small businesses and 
startup companies use stock options as an incentive and sometimes the 
only means to attract qualified employees.
  There have been many suggestions on what will stop future Enrons, and 
included in that debate has been a discussion on improving the 
accounting practices and other issues concerning stock options. Some 
members have come up with some creative and not so creative ideas on 
how to improve their use.
  Some have not considered how their ideas will affect rank-and-file 
employees, while others have kept that as their primary consideration. 
Some members have proposed setting a new expensing standard or 
directing the Federal Accounting Standards Board to take some specific 
action in setting new expensing rules. But, these amendments have pre-
ordained what the solution to stock options will be.
  Members promoting these amendments are furnishing their own 
conclusions. They mandate either codification of new expensing rules, 
or direct the Federal Accounting Standards Board, known as FASB, to 
require stock option expensing at the time of grant or exercise. This 
is a conclusion some of us do not believe should be made by non-experts 
in Congress, without careful analysis.
  Our bipartisan amendment is different. It doesn't preordain what the 
solution to stock options will be. Instead, it directs the SEC to 
analyze the treatment of stock options in several categories, not just 
stock option expensing, and lend its superior expertise in furnishing a 
report and making useful recommendations.
  This is a smart amendment because 99 non-accountant Senators, and one 
accountant Senator, all without expertise in securities accounting and 
law, have no business making a definitive decision on what the answer 
to stock option problems should be. Instead, the SEC should analyze the 
problem and

[[Page 13613]]

make recommendations on what is needed.
  Let me get to the specifics of our amendment. First, it requires an 
analysis of the accounting treatment of employee stock options, 
including the accuracy of available stock option pricing models. What 
are these models?
  Currently, companies estimate the value of granted stock options 
using something called the Black-Scholes model. This is because they do 
not know what the future value of their stock will be when the options 
are actually exercised and sold. So they make an educated guess with 
the Black-Scholes model.
  However, many believe the current practice of using the Black-Scholes 
method to value stock options, as currently used on footnotes, is 
fatally flawed. This method will be just as flawed if it must be used 
for expensing stock options at the time of grant. This amendment 
directs the SEC to look at the accuracy of this and other pricing 
models.
  Second, our amendment directs the SEC to analyze the adequacy of 
current disclosure requirements to investors and shareholders on stock 
options. The SEC needs to determine whether better disclosure 
provisions would solve the current, perceived problem with stock option 
reporting. The SEC can study what further disclosure and transparency 
provisions, if any, would be useful.
  We do not know what the SEC's recommendations might be. They might 
include a recommendation for user-friendly disclosure in clear, plain 
English with graphs and charts, which are comparable with other company 
disclosures. They might recommend increased quarterly reporting on 
certain information.
  Even high profile financial celebrities have differing view on 
expensing and disclosure. Like me, Secretary O'Neill has advocated 
fuller disclosure as a means to cure the present perceived problems 
with the information provided to investors and shareholders in 
footnotes on company financial statements, rather than expensing. 
Others, like Warren Buffet, have said fuller disclosure and 
transparency will not cure these problems, and Congress should do 
something about expensing. Alan Greenspan believes expensing of stock 
options at the time of grant is needed, but that Congress should not be 
the one deciding this or setting accounting standards.
  Given these differing views by financial heavy weights like Secretary 
O'Neill, Greenspan and Buffett, it makes sense to let the SEC analyze 
this issue and make the determination of what, if any, disclosure 
improvements are necessary, taking into account the effect on all 
affected parties--companies, shareholders, investors, and rank-and-file 
employees.
  Next, our amendment would direct the SEC to analyze the adequacy of 
corporate governance requirements on stock options, including the 
usefulness of having shareholders approve stock option plans.
  Previously, I advocated shareholder approval of stock option issuance 
to top corporate executives to prevent them from abusing stock options. 
Now, I and others of us are leaving it to the SEC to determine whether 
this will prevent stock option abuse.
  Our bipartisan amendment also requires an analysis of the need, if 
any, for stock holding period requirements for senior executives. Some 
Senators have advocated a holding period during which top executives 
cannot sell their stock options. One suggestion was that a 90-day 
cooling off period occur before a top executive can sell his stock. 
Another suggestion was that these executives could not sell their stock 
until they left the company and a two-year period expired.
  These suggestions pose a dramatic solution which needs more study by 
the SEC. These are not provisions to be taken lightly, nor drafted 
hurriedly by Senators. This type of amendment could possibly help 
prevent abuses, or have the opposite effect of chilling the future use 
of stock options entirely. Because I do not know what the effect of 
this will be and whether it will prevent executive fraud and abuse, I 
am at least willing to let the SEC study it to see if there is any 
merit to it.
  And finally, our amendment directs the SEC to look at the benefit and 
detriment of any new options expensing rules. So, instead of Senators, 
who have little knowledge of securities accounting, making an 
accounting decision on stock option expensing, we are leaving it in the 
hands of the SEC to see how expensing will affect all segments related 
to stock options.
  Our bipartisan amendment directs the SEC to look at the benefit and 
detriment of stock option expensing on companies and start-up 
enterprises. Specifically, it requires the SEC to look at what stock 
options expensing would do to the productivity and performance of all 
sizes of companies, and start-up enterprises.
  I am particularly concerned about the effect of expensing stock 
options on small companies and start-up enterprises. Many small 
businesses and start-up companies cannot afford to offer the salaries 
larger companies give, so they offer stock options as an incentive to 
attract highly-skilled employees. In addition, our amendment would 
require the SEC to look at the benefits and detriments of stock option 
expensing on the recruitment and retention of skilled workers.
  Currently, employees who risk working for start-up companies have the 
ability to make much more money than through traditional methods of 
payment by salaries or wages. Those who stay with the company tend to 
have a vested interest in the company through the issuance of stock 
options. Stock options may be the very reason that some employees start 
with a company and stay with it. We are asking the SEC to look at the 
issue of what effect stock option expensing will have on future 
recruitment and retention of employees.
  Finally, and most importantly, our amendment asks the SEC to look at 
the benefits and detriments of stock options on employees at all income 
levels, with particular emphasis on rank-and-file employees.
  These are some of the questions the SEC needs to look at and make a 
recommendation on.
  Whatever we do, we need to make sure the cure is not worse than the 
disease. We should not rush to pass something just for the sake of 
legislating on stock options. Let us step back and see what 
recommendations the SEC makes. Then, with cooler heads, perhaps we can 
prevail in getting rules and regulations on stock options which are 
truly needed, and not merely an overreaction to the current atmosphere 
of Enron.
  I would hate to see any hastly decision chill the ability of 
companies to issue stock options to millions of rank-and-file 
employees. Or chill new start-up companies' use of stock options to 
attract employees. At the same time, we have to stop future abuses by 
corporate executives who thumb their noses while plundering companies 
resources.
  For these reasons, I ask you to vote in favor of the Enzi-Lieberman-
Allen-Boxer Amendment.
                                 ______
                                 
      By Mr. FEINGOLD:
  S. 2761. A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide 
that reimbursements for costs of using passenger automobiles for 
charitable and other organizations are excluded from gross income, and 
for other purposes; to the Committee on Finance.
  Mr. FEINGOLD. Mr. President, I am pleased to offer legislation today 
that will increase the mileage reimbursement rate for volunteers.
  Under current law, when volunteers use their cars for charitable 
purposes, the volunteers may be reimbursed up to 14 cents per mile for 
their donated services without triggering a tax consequence for either 
the organizations or the volunteers. If the charitable organization 
reimburses any more than that, they are required to file an information 
return indicating the amount, and the volunteers must include the 
amount over 14 cents per mile in their taxable income. By contrast, the 
mileage reimbursement level currently permitted for businesses is 36.5 
cents per mile.
  At a time when government is asking volunteers and volunteer 
organizations

[[Page 13614]]

to bear a greater burden of delivering essential services, the 14 cents 
per mile limit is posing a very real hardship.
  I have heard from a number of groups in Wisconsin in recent weeks on 
the need to increase this reimbursement limit. One organization, the 
Portage County Department on Aging, explained just how important 
volunteer drivers are to their ability to provide services to seniors 
in that county. The Department on Aging reported that last year 54 
volunteer drivers delivered meals to homes and transported people to 
medical appointments, meal sites, and other essential services. The 
Department noted that their volunteer drivers provided 4,676 rides, and 
drove nearly 126,000 miles. They also delivered 9,385 home-delivered 
meals, and nearly two-thirds of the drivers logged more than 100 miles 
per month in providing these needed services. Altogether, volunteers 
donated over 5,200 hours last year, and as the Department notes, at the 
rate of minimum wage, that amounts to over $27,000, not including other 
benefits.
  The senior meals program is one of the most vital services provided 
under the Older Americans Act, and ensuring that meals can be delivered 
to seniors or that seniors can be taken to meal sites is an essential 
part of that program. Unfortunately, Federal support for the senior 
nutrition programs has stagnated in recent years. This has increased 
pressure on local programs to leverage more volunteer services to make 
up for lagging federal support. The 14 cent per mile reimbursement 
limit, though, increasingly poses a barrier to obtaining those 
contributions. Portage County reports that the many of their volunteers 
cannot afford to offer their services under such a restriction. And if 
volunteers cannot be found, their services will have to be replaced by 
contracting with a provider, greatly increasing costs to the 
Department, costs that come directly out of the pot of funds available 
to pay for meals and other services.
  By contrast, businesses do not face this restrictive mileage 
reimbursement limit. The comparable mileage rate for someone who works 
for a business is currently 36.5 cents per mile. This disparity means 
that a business hired to deliver the same meals delivered by volunteers 
for Portage County may reimburse their employees over double the amount 
permitted the volunteer without a tax consequence.
  This doesn't make sense.
  Morever, the 14 cent per mile volunteer reimbursement limit is 
outdated. According to the Congressional Research Service, Congress 
first set a reimbursement rate of 12 cents per mile as part of the 
Deficit Reduction Act of 1984, and did not increase it until 1997, when 
the level was raised slightly, to 14 cents per mile, as part of the 
Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997.
  The bill I am introducing today raises the limit on volunteer mileage 
reimbursement to the level permitted to businesses. It is essentially 
the same provision passed by the Senate as part of a tax bill passed in 
1999 that was vetoed by President Clinton. At the time of the 1999 
measure, the Joint Committee on Taxation, JCT, estimated that the 
mileage reimbursement provision would result in the loss of $1 million 
over the five year fiscal period from 1999 to 2004. The revenue loss 
was so small that the JCT did not make the estimate on a year by year 
basis.
  Though the revenue loss is small, I have also included an offset to 
make the measure deficit neutral by including a provision that would 
impose a civil penalty of up to $5,000 on failure to report interest in 
foreign financial transactions. That provision was recently included in 
the CARE Act legislation by the Senate Finance Committee.
  I urge my colleagues to support this measure. It will help ensure 
charitable organizations can continue to attract the volunteers that 
play such a critical role in helping to deliver services and it will 
simplify the tax code both for non-profit groups and the volunteers 
themselves.
  I ask unanimous consent that the text of the legislation be printed 
in the Record.
  There being no objection, the bill was ordered to be printed in the 
Record, as follows:

                                S. 2761

                                 ______
                                 
      By Mrs. FEINSTEIN (for herself, Mr. Hutchinson, and Mr. Kohl):
  S. 2763. A bill to respond to the illegal production distribution, 
and use of methamphetamines in the United States, and for other 
purposes; to the Committee on the Judiciary.
  Mrs. FEINSTEIN. Mr. President, I rise today to introduce the ``CLEAN-
UP Meth Act,'' a bill to address illegal and environmentally disastrous 
methamphetamine production.
  I am pleased to submit this bill on behalf of myself, Senator 
Hutchinson of Arkansas, and Senator Kohl.
  Essentially, this bill would help our Federal, State and local 
governments combat methamphetamine on a number of levels, from 
production to clean-up, prosecution to prevention.

[[Page 13615]]

  The legislation would accomplish this with two key components: First, 
the bill would allocate $125 million for important training and cleanup 
efforts, including training local law enforcement to effectively clean 
up meth lab and dump sites. And second, we would make it much harder 
for meth dealers to get the precursor pseudoephedrine products 
necessary to make this illegal drug.
  Once predominantly found in the American Southwest, methamphetamine's 
presence now stretches from coast to coast. Once predominantly found in 
rural areas, its harmful effects now extend from our smallest towns to 
our biggest cities.
  For instance, the number of clandestine meth labs discovered in North 
Carolina has doubled every year for the past four years.
  In New Orleans, police in the Jefferson district seized a total of 
828 grams of methamphetamine in all of the year 2000. Last year, they 
seized more than ten times that amount, 9,003 grams, with a street 
value of more than $1 million.
  I'm sorry to say that my home State of California has been referred 
to as the ``Colombia of meth production.'' In fact, our State is known 
as the ``source country'' for the drug, producing roughly 80 percent of 
the Nation's methamphetamine supply. According to the DEA, 1,847 
clandestine meth labs were found last year in California alone.
  Each of these 1,847 labs in California, and each of the labs 
scattered around this Nation near schools, on farms, in trailer parks 
and in quiet suburban neighborhoods, creates a whole host of dangers 
and toxic waste.
  The actual production of methamphetamine is harmful in a number of 
ways. First, the hazardous chemicals used in meth production are toxic, 
and long-term exposure is damaging. Furthermore, the materials can also 
be explosive and dangerous. Production using these volatile materials 
has resulted in countless accidents, houses and even apartment 
buildings burned to the ground, explosions that scatter chemicals and 
flames, and chemical reactions that cause untold damage to the 
individuals involved in meth production or simply living in the same 
household, individuals that, too often, include children.
  Meth production also poses risks to the health of the surrounding 
public and environment. According to the National Drug Intelligence 
Center, NDIC, for every pound of meth produced, five to seven pounds of 
hazardous waste results from the production as well. Meth producers 
dump this waste anywhere and everywhere, from nearby ditches to public 
lands, from pits dug in the middle of a farm to rivers and lakes.
  One private contractor hired to clean up meth-related hazardous dump 
sites in California responded to more than 500 calls in 2000 alone. And 
one of those dump sites was located along the banks of the California 
Aqueduct, which is a direct source of water for Los Angeles.
  NDIC investigators have found also found toxic chemicals discarded 
into household drains and storm drains. And the precursors used to make 
meth, and the toxic byproducts, may last for years in the soil. 
Decontaminating these sites is what makes clean-up so expensive, with 
costs ranging from $5,000 to $150,000 per site. State police in 
Baltimore, MD claim that its costs taxpayers nearly $75,000 each time a 
meth lab must be cleaned up. According to the DEA, that agency spent 
more than $22 million cleaning up 6,609 labs nationwide.
  These extraordinary costs simply cannot be maintained on the local 
level without Federal support. These costs are proof of why Federal 
funding for such valuable efforts is necessary.
  So the first thing this legislation would do is help law enforcement 
as well as the public pay these important costs, by providing millions 
to help clean-up labs and train law enforcement authorities to properly 
and safety do this important work.
  Specifically, the CLEAN-UP Meth bill would provide: $15 million for 
clean-up and remediation of meth contaminated lands managed by the 
Departments of Agriculture or Interior; $15 million for Department of 
Agriculture grants to State and local governments and to private 
persons to clean up meth contaminated lands; $20 million for OSHA 
grants to local law enforcement agencies for training and equipment for 
the safe identification, handling, clean-up and disposal of meth labs; 
and $10 million for Department of Labor grants to local law enforcement 
agencies to help them comply with Federal laws regarding cleanup and 
disposal of meth labs.
  Second, this legislation includes resources to help State and local 
officials prosecute meth offenses, educate the public, and study the 
effects of meth use.
  Methamphetamine is so prevalent partly because it is simple to make 
and is profitable. Producers of meth range from people with advanced 
chemistry degrees to those who are self-taught. Recipes are easily 
available in books as well as over the Internet.
  The drug does not have to be smuggled in across secured international 
borders. Fifty percent of the Nation's consumed methamphetamine is 
produced right here in our country. In fact, the basic ingredients can 
be found in your local pharmacy. These relatively inexpensive materials 
can be used to create a drug that fetches much higher prices. For 
example, ounce quantities are worth between $1,500 and $2,000 and can 
be sold to individual users for about $100 a gram in crystallized 
powder form that can be smoked, snorted, swallowed or turned into 
liquid and injected. According to the Office of National drug Control 
Policy, ONDCP, methamphetamine users spent nearly $6 billion on the 
drug in 1999.
  Methamphetamine is also highly addictive. Known on the street as 
crank, speed, ice and zip, methamphetamine is cheaper than cocaine, 
more addictive than crack and causes more brain damage than heroin or 
alcohol. A single dose of this ``poor man's cocaine'' can keep a person 
awake for three to four days at a time and has been associated with 
paranoia and often violence. In California's Central Valley, 
methamphetamine has become the drug of choice and a principal cause of 
crime.
  I firmly believe that law enforcement officials cannot effectively 
fight this drug and its harmful effects unless we provide them with the 
proper resources. Already this year, police in Oklahoma City have 
seized 115 meth labs. Law enforcement officials there have attributed 
these seizures to the support from Federal grants.
  Keith Cain, a sheriff in Daviess County, KY also claims that Federal 
funding has proved to be crucial to the war against meth. According to 
Cain, ``Without that money, we would not have been able to be as 
proactive as we've been.''
  Last year, the federally funded Central Valley High-Intensity Drug 
Trafficking project to restrict the supply of the chemical agents used 
in making the deadly drug was showing impressive results. A team of 
specialists from local drug units, the California Highway Patrol, DEA 
and FBI averaged one bust a week of the clandestine ``super labs'' that 
had made the Central Valley the national center for the production of 
methamphetamine. These triumphs were the direct result of federal 
funding and proof that allocating Federal resources is imperative to 
progress.
  However, since September 11, agents have been removed from the 
project and transferred to anti-terrorism work. The lack of drug 
enforcement resources has created a strain on the project and threatens 
the progress it has had combating methamphetamine.
  It would be a tragedy to California and the country if we lost all of 
the progress this program and others like it have made in the war on 
meth simply due to a lack of resources. Programs like this one have 
proven to be effective and need our continued support.
  Our bill would provide: $20 million for training of State and local 
prosecutors and law enforcement agents for prosecution of meth 
offenses, $5 million of which will be dedicated for rural communities 
and $2 million to reimburse the DEA for existing training programs; $10 
million additional for training at the DEA's Clandestine Laboratory 
Training Facility in Quantico,

[[Page 13616]]

VA; $2 million for the Department of Justice for the collection, 
aggregation and dissemination of meth lab seizure stats by the El Paso 
Intelligence Center, EPIC.
  Third, we address the problems of our children. Raids and seizures of 
clandestine meth labs have been instrumental to the war on meth and 
have uncovered a number of alarming issues, but none more troubling 
than the effect meth production has on the children of meth dealers and 
their friends.
  Drug rings and meth trafficking organizations found throughout the 
American West have been linked to Mexican drug traffickers as well as 
white supremacist groups. Last year, for instance, law enforcement 
authorities in Los Angeles County uncovered a sophisticated meth 
trafficking ring that includes suspects with tattoos of Nazi swastikas 
and belong to a local gang called the ``Untouchables.'' During police 
raids of their meth labs and headquarters, agents seized nearly 
$500,000 in cash and more than 100 high-powered weapons, including 
assault rifles and a grenade launcher.
  Earlier this year, Central Valley investigators raided a 
methamphetamine super-lab in a farmhouse on the outskirts on Merced, 
CA. Inside, investigators found vats of toxic chemicals, large supplies 
of pseudoephedrine used in producing meth and three illegal firearms.
  Yet, the most disturbing part of this story is that while the 
manufacturers were engaged in the potentially explosive process of 
extracting pure methamphetamine, four small children watched television 
in the next room. The children were taken to a local hospital and 
tested positive for methamphetamine contamination.
  I would like to say that this is a rare case. However, this story is 
no exception. In 2001, 1,989 children were found in clandestine meth 
labs, materials storage sites and dump sites across the country.
  The CLEAN-UP Meth Act would provide $2.5 million for grants to states 
for treatment of children suffering adverse health impacts from meth-
related exposure.
  The bill also includes $20 million for the development of anti-
methamphetamine education programs in our nation's schools. Informing 
and educating our children on the dangers of this drug is the first 
step in reducing the number of new users of methamphetamine.
  In addition to the funding provisions of the bill, which were 
introduced by Representative Ose in the House, this legislation also 
contains language to close the ``Blister Pack Loophole'' in current 
law, which currently allows meth dealers to purchase unlimited 
quantities of pseudoephedrine products, generally cold and sinus 
medication, as long as it is packaged in blister packs, those tin foil 
and plastic packages most of us buy these days, which require that each 
pill be separate rather than simply poured into a bottle.
  Our current law limits retail sales of bottled pseudoephedrine to 
just 9 grams, because we found several years ago that meth dealers 
would go into a pharmacy, a Costco or other large store, sweep the 
shelves clean of cold medicine, bring the bottles back to the lab, cut 
off the tops of the bottles without even bothering to unscrew the caps 
instead, and pour the pills out as the first step to making meth.
  When we passed the 9 gram threshold, and before that the 24-gram 
threshold, for bottled pills, I made the case that if limits were 
placed on bottles only, meth dealers would simply start buying blister-
packed pills instead. At the time, some argued that blister packs were 
simply too unwieldy for meth manufacturers to bother with, the process 
of popping individual pills out of each blister would be too time 
consuming. But we had evidence from California that dealers were 
already using these blister packs, so as a compromise we asked the DEA 
to conduct a nationwide study of whether blister packs posed a problem. 
Well, guess what, they do.
  According to the report we requested from the DEA, which was 
finalized late last year, blister packaged pseudoephedrine products 
seized at clandestine methamphetamine laboratories and other locations, 
such as dumpsites, have involved seizures of over a million tablets. 
The seizure of so many blister packaged pseudoephedrine products shows 
convincingly that blister packaging is not a deterrent to ordinary, 
over-the-counter pseudoephedrine use in clandestine methamphetamine 
laboratories.
  Indeed, the report even includes information about automated machines 
whose sole purpose is to remove pills from blister packs on a massive 
scale. These machines have been found in meth labs, along with 
hundreds, even thousands, of empty blister packs.
  So clearly, what we argued in 1999, and in 1996, is true. Meth 
manufacturers are using blister packs, and something must be done to 
stop them as best we can.
  In order to address this problem, DEA recommended in the report it 
released late last year that the blister pack loophole be closed, and 
that the current retail sales limit of 9 grams for bottled 
pseudoephedrine be extended to blister packed products as well. And 
that is what this bill would do.
  The meth problem is not just a California problem, or a New York 
problem, or even an Iowa problem. The meth problem is a national 
problem, with tragic consequences across this great country. Without a 
continuing, nationwide, relentless effort on the part of the Federal 
Government, this problem will continue to grow and to infect our 
children and our communities with the scourge of methamphetamine 
production and use.
  I believe DEA Director Hutchinson put it best this spring when he 
argued in support of Federal efforts to crack down on meth. ``It 
clearly impacts every one of our districts, every segment of our 
society and every age group.''
  I urge my colleagues to support this legislation and join the latest 
step towards progress in our war against methamphetamine.
  Mr. KOHL. Mr. President, I rise in support of the CLEAN-UP Meth Act 
of 2002. I am pleased to join my fellow cosponsors, Senators Feinstein 
and Hutchinson in introducing this legislation.
  Methamphetamine is a plague in Wisconsin that affects not only the 
people who purchase and use it, their families and friends, but also 
the law enforcement officials who are involved in cleaning up the 
abandoned meth laboratories. These home grown meth labs inflict 
significant damage to the environment unlike other illicit drugs. The 
labs contaminate the environment and threaten those who discover and 
break down the labs, are exposed to t4he precursor chemicals and clean 
up the polluted environment.
  The meth scourge is growing every day. In 1998, Wisconsin State 
authorities seized only two methamphetamine labs. By 2001, that number 
had increased to 52 and shows no signs of abating. Its appearance in 
the last few years in the western part of Wisconsin, trafficked from 
Minnesota and Iowa, has created a dramatic new problem for law 
enforcement. And, production in the State has grown dramatically in the 
last four years.
  The amount of methamphetamine produced in Wisconsin is also growing 
by leaps and bounds. In 1999, State drug task forces seized 1.6 
kilograms of methamphetamine. In 2000, the number increased to 2.5 
kilograms. Finally, in 2001, the amount of methamphetamine seized in 
Wisconsin skyrocketed to 20.9 kilograms, an increase of 13 fold in only 
two years.
  The existence of a significant and growing meth problem comes as no 
surprise to us. In fact, with the assistance of Wisconsin's Department 
of Narcotics Enforcement, we have attempted to fight the spread of meth 
for the past several years. We have augmented DEA's representation in 
Wisconsin, specifically adding new agents in the western part of the 
state to work in conjunction with state drug officials. We have secured 
DEA mobile drug teams to traverse the northwestern part of the State 
where much of the meth can be found. We have also secured millions of 
dollars in the appropriations process to aid in prevention

[[Page 13617]]

and clean up efforts in western Wisconsin.
  Unfortunately, this has not stemmed the spread of meth. We fear to 
consider how much worse the problem would be if it were not for the 
efforts of our state and local law enforcement officials.
  We must do more. The legislation we introduced today is another 
weapon in the battle against the spread of meth. The bill authorizes 
more funding for the education, prevention and clean up of 
methamphetamine.
  Educating more people about the dangers of meth and assisting in safe 
environmental cleanup are important, long-term approaches to the meth 
problem. There is, however, something that can be done immediately to 
make it more difficult for meth producers to manufacture the drugs.
  We need to make it more difficult for meth producers to get access to 
the precursor chemicals they use to produce methamphetamine. That means 
closing a loophole in the law that currently makes it too easy for meth 
producers to get pseudophedrine. Pseudophedrine is the central 
ingredient in both methamphetamine and most major cold medicines sold 
over the counter.
  To combat the sale of pseudophedrine to meth producers, Congress 
passed the Comprehensive Methamphetamine Control Act of 1996. This 
limited the amount of pseudophedrine or ephedrine that any one person 
could purchase at one time. Yet, Congress did not proscribe the 
purchase of pseudophedrine in so-called ``blister packs.'' The 
pharmaceutical industry argued that it is sufficiently difficult to 
remove each pill from a blister pack, that the sale of pseudophedrine 
in that form need not be limited. Only the sale of pseodphedrine in 
bottles where it would be easy for meth producers to access large 
quantities needed to be restricted.
  As it turns out, the meth producers adapted their behavior to take 
advantage of the loophole in the law by finding a way to make the 
blister packaged pseudophedrine economical to purchase. They did so 
with the advent of presses that simply punctured all of the blister 
packs--therefore removing the type of packaging as an impediment to 
their access to the pseudophedrine.
  The DEA conducted a study on the use of blister packs and found that 
among the refuse left at meth labs are more and more blister packs. 
This demonstrates, in the DEA's view, that the blister pack loophole 
needs to be closed. We agree with their recommendation and therefore 
recommend limiting the amount of pseudophedrine that can be purchased 
by any one person at any one time.
  Closing this loophole in the law governing the manufacture of meth is 
one more weapon in the battle against the drug. Combined with 
education, prevention and greater resources for law enforcement 
throughout Wisconsin, we can stem the tide of this scourge before it 
does even more damage.

              TITLE V--FDA REGULATION OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS

     SEC. 501. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) the use of tobacco products by the children of the 
     United States is a pediatric disease of epic proportions that 
     results in new generations of tobacco-dependent children and 
     adults;
       (2) a consensus exists within the scientific and medical 
     communities that tobacco products are inherently dangerous 
     and cause cancer, heart disease, and other serious adverse 
     health effects;
       (3) nicotine is addictive;
       (4) virtually all new users of tobacco products are under 
     the minimum legal age to purchase tobacco products;
       (5) tobacco advertising and marketing contribute 
     significantly to the use of nicotine-containing tobacco 
     products by adolescents;
       (6) since past efforts to restrict advertising and 
     marketing of tobacco products have failed adequately to curb 
     tobacco use by adolescents, comprehensive restrictions on the 
     sale, promotion, and distribution of tobacco products are 
     needed;
       (7) Federal and State governments have lacked the legal and 
     regulatory authority and resources to address comprehensively 
     the public health and societal problems caused by the use of 
     tobacco products;
       (8) Federal and State public health officials, the public 
     health community, and the public at large recognize that the 
     tobacco industry should be subject to ongoing oversight;
       (9) under article I, section 8 of the Constitution, 
     Congress is vested with the responsibility for regulating 
     interstate commerce and commerce with Indian tribes;
       (10) the sale, distribution, marketing, advertising, and 
     use of tobacco products are activities in and substantially 
     affect interstate commerce because tobacco products are sold, 
     marketed, advertised, and distributed in interstate commerce 
     on a nationwide basis;
       (11) the sale, distribution, marketing, advertising, and 
     use of tobacco products substantially affect interstate 
     commerce through the health care and other costs attributable 
     to the use of tobacco products;
       (12) it is in the public interest for Congress to adopt 
     comprehensive public health legislation because of--
       (A) the unique position of tobacco in the history and 
     economy of the United States; and
       (B) the need to prevent the sale, distribution, marketing 
     and advertising of tobacco products to persons under the 
     minimum legal age to purchase tobacco products;
       (13) the public interest requires a timely, fair, 
     equitable, and consistent result that will serve the public 
     interest by restricting throughout the United States the 
     sale, distribution, marketing, and advertising of tobacco 
     products only to persons of legal age to purchase tobacco 
     products;
       (14) public health authorities estimate that the benefits 
     to the United States of enacting Federal legislation to 
     accomplish the goals described in this section would be 
     significant in human and economic terms;
       (15) reducing the use of tobacco by minors by 50 percent 
     would prevent well over 60,000 early deaths each year and 
     save up to $43,000,000,000 each year in reduced medical 
     costs, improved productivity, and the avoidance of premature 
     deaths;
       (16)(A) advertising, marketing, and promotion of tobacco 
     products have been especially directed to attract young 
     persons to use tobacco products, resulting in increased use 
     of tobacco products by youth; and
       (B) past efforts to oversee those activities have not been 
     successful in adequately preventing the increased use;
       (17) tobacco advertising increases the size of the market 
     consumption of tobacco products and the use of tobacco by 
     young people;
       (18) children--
       (A) are more influenced by tobacco advertising than adults; 
     and
       (B) smoke the most advertised brands;
       (19) tobacco company documents indicate that young people 
     are an important and often crucial segment of the tobacco 
     market;

     Livelihood and Economic Assistance for Our Farmers Act of 
     2002; and

     the tobacco product) to immediately cease distribution of the

     term `substantially equivalent' or `substantial equivalence' 
     mean, with respect to the tobacco product being compared to 
     the predicate tobacco product, that the Secretary by order 
     has determined that--
       ``(A) the tobacco product has the same characteristics as 
     the predicate tobacco product; or
       ``(B) the tobacco product has different characteristics, 
     and the information for the tobacco product submitted 
     contains information, including clinical data if considered 
     necessary by the Secretary, that demonstrates that it is not 
     appropriate to regulate the product under the applicable 
     section because the product could not reasonably be expected 
     to increase the health risks to consumers compared to a 
     conventional tobacco product that is commercially marketed in 
     the United States and that is in compliance with the 
     requirements of this Act.
       ``(2) Definition of characteristics.--In subparagraph (A),

     design, composition, heating source, or other features of a 
     tobacco product.

     not be found to be substantially equivalent to a predicate 
     tobacco product that has been removed from the market at the 
     initiative of the Secretary or that has been determined by a 
     judicial order to be misbranded or adulterated.
       ``(b) Requirement for Premarket Approval.--
       ``(1) In general.--Approval under this section of an 
     application for premarket approval for any tobacco product,

     risk tobacco product under section 913, that is not 
     commercially marketed in the United States as of the date of 
     enactment of the Tobacco Livelihood and Economic Assistance 
     for Our Farmers Act of 2002 shall be required unless--
       ``(A) the manufacturer has submitted a report under section 
     906(j); and
       ``(B) the Secretary has not suspended the distribution of 
     the product under this paragraph.

     after the submission of a report under section 906(j), the 
     Secretary may by order suspend the distribution of the 
     tobacco product that is the subject of the report if the 
     Secretary determines that there is a reasonable likelihood 
     that the tobacco product is not substantially equivalent to a 
     tobacco product that is--
       ``(A) commercially marketed in the United States as of the 
     date of the Tobacco Livelihood and Economic Assistance for 
     Our Farmers Act of 2002; and

     predicate tobacco product.
       ``(4) Final agency action.--
       ``(A) In general.--Subject to subparagraph (B), the 
     issuance of an order under this paragraph shall constitute 
     final agency action for purposes of section 702 of title 5, 
     United States Code.

     rescind or modify an order issued under this subsection at 
     any time.

       ``(1) In general.--As part of a submission under section 
     906(j) with respect to a tobacco product, the person required 
     to file a premarket notification under section 906(j) shall 
     provide an adequate summary of any health information 
     relating to the tobacco product or state that the information 
     will be made available on request by any person.

     application to an advisory committee for submission (within 
     such period as the Secretary may establish) of a report and 
     recommendation respecting approval of the application, 
     together with all underlying data and the reasons or basis 
     for the recommendation; or

       ``(A) In general.--As promptly as practicable, but not 
     later than 180 days, after the date of receipt of an 
     application under subsection (d), the Secretary, after 
     considering the report and recommendation submitted under 
     subsection (d)(2), shall--
       ``(i) issue an order approving the application, if the 
     Secretary finds that none of the grounds for denying approval 
     specified in paragraph (2) applies; or

     finds (and sets forth the basis for the finding as part of or 
     accompanying the denial) that 1 or more grounds for denial

     application for a tobacco product may require as a condition 
     to the approval that the sale and distribution of the tobacco

     used for, the manufacture, processing, or packing of the 
     tobacco product do not conform to the requirements of section

     the applicant in accordance with 1 or more protocols 
     prescribed by the Secretary).

     controlled investigations, which may include 1 or more 
     clinical investigations by experts qualified by training and 
     experience to evaluate the tobacco product.
       ``(B) Evidence.--If the Secretary determines that there 
     exists valid scientific evidence (other than evidence derived 
     from investigations described in subparagraph (A)) that is 
     sufficient to evaluate the tobacco product, the Secretary may 
     authorize that the determination under paragraph (2)(A) be 
     made on the basis of the evidence.

       ``(1) In general.--The Secretary shall, on obtaining, where 
     appropriate, advice on scientific matters from an advisory 
     committee, and after due notice and opportunity for informal 
     hearing to the holder of an approved application for a 
     tobacco product, issue an order withdrawing approval of the

     greater than ordinarily caused by tobacco products on the 
     market, the Secretary shall by order temporarily suspend the 
     approval of the application approved under this section.

       ``(1) In general.--A product may be designated by the 
     Secretary as a reduced exposure tobacco product or a reduced 
     risk tobacco product if the Secretary finds that the product 
     is demonstrated to significantly reduce harm to individuals 
     caused by a tobacco product in accordance with the standards 
     provided under subparagraph (B), based on an application 
     submitted by the manufacturer of the product (or other 
     responsible person) that--
       ``(A)(i) demonstrates, through appropriate chemical and 
     biological testing (including testing on animals and short-
     term human testing), that use of the product results in 
     ingestion or inhalation of a substantially lower yield of 
     toxic substances than use of another tobacco product in the 
     same or different category as the subject tobacco product; or
       ``(ii) contains scientific evidence showing that use of the 
     product results in a substantially lower potential risk to 
     health in 1 or more specific respects than use of another

     proposed reduced exposure tobacco product or the reduced risk 
     product; and

     long-term health effects of the product.

     more tobacco toxicants; and

     predict, through clinical or epidemiological studies, a 
     measurable reduction in the morbidity or mortality associated 
     with the use of the product compared with the use of other 
     tobacco products (whether in the same or a different 
     category) commercially marketed in the United States.
       ``(B) Reduced risk tobacco products.--The Secretary shall 
     designate a tobacco product as a reduced risk tobacco product

     compared with the use of other tobacco products (whether in 
     the same or a different category) commercially marketed in 
     the United States.
       ``(4) Marketing requirements.--A tobacco product may be 
     marketed and labeled as a reduced exposure tobacco product or

     date on which a tobacco product is designated as a reduced 
     exposure tobacco product or a reduced risk tobacco product 
     under this section, the Secretary may, after providing an 
     opportunity for an informal hearing, revoke the designation 
     if the Secretary determines, based on information not

     of a tobacco product to the health of the user, for which the 
     manufacturer is not seeking designation as a reduced exposure 
     tobacco product or a reduced risk tobacco product under this 
     section.

       ``(1) Discretionary surveillance.--The Secretary may 
     require a tobacco product manufacturer to conduct postmarket 
     surveillance for a reduced exposure tobacco product or a 
     reduced risk tobacco product of the manufacturer if the 
     Secretary determines that postmarket surveillance of the 
     tobacco product is necessary to protect the public health or

     risks and other safety issues involving the tobacco product.

     required to conduct a surveillance of a reduced exposure 
     tobacco product or a reduced risk tobacco product under
