       (3) No grant shall be used for seasonal support to a group, 
     unless the application is specific to the contents of the

     Humanities Act of 1965 from funds appropriated under this 
     Act, the Chairperson of the National Endowment for the Arts

       (1) The term ``underserved population'' means a population 
     of individuals, including urban minorities, who have 
     historically been outside the purview of arts and humanities 
     programs due to factors such as a high incidence of income 
     below the poverty line or to geographic isolation.
       (2) The term ``poverty line'' means the poverty line (as 
     defined by the Office of Management and Budget, and revised 
     annually in accordance with section 673(2) of the Community 
     Services Block Grant Act (42 U.S.C. 9902(2))) applicable to a 
     family of the size involved.
       (c) In providing services and awarding financial assistance 
     under the National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities Act

       (d) With funds appropriated by this Act to carry out 
     section 5 of the National Foundation on the Arts and 
     Humanities Act of 1965--
       (1) the Chairperson shall establish a grant category for

     national impact or availability or are able to tour several 
     States;
       (2) the Chairperson shall not make grants exceeding 15

     improve and support community-based music performance and

       Sec. 314. No part of any appropriation contained in this 
     Act shall be expended or obligated to complete and issue the 
     5-year program under the Forest and Rangeland Renewable 
     Resources Planning Act.
       Sec. 315. None of the funds in this Act may be used to 
     support Government-wide administrative functions unless such 
     functions are justified in the budget process and funding is 
     approved by the House and Senate Committees on 
     Appropriations.
       Sec. 316. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, none 
     of the funds in this Act may be used for GSA

       Sec. 318. Amounts deposited during fiscal year 2002 in the 
     roads and trails fund provided for in the 14th paragraph 
     under the heading ``FOREST SERVICE'' of the Act of March 4, 
     1913 (37 Stat. 843; 16 U.S.C. 501), shall be used by the 
     Secretary of Agriculture, without regard to the State in 
     which the amounts were derived, to repair or reconstruct 
     roads, bridges, and trails on National Forest System lands or 
     to carry out and administer projects to improve forest health 
     conditions, which may include the repair or reconstruction of 
     roads, bridges, and trails on National Forest System lands in 
     the wildland-community interface where there is an abnormally 
     high risk of fire. The projects shall emphasize reducing 
     risks to human safety and public health and property

[[Page 16031]]

     and enhancing ecological functions, long-term forest 
     productivity, and biological integrity. The projects may be 
     completed in a subsequent fiscal year. Funds shall not be 
     expended under this section to replace funds which would 
     otherwise appropriately be expended from the timber salvage 
     sale fund. Nothing in this section shall be construed to 
     exempt any project from any environmental law.
       Sec. 319. No timber sale in Region 10 shall be advertised 
     if the indicated rate is deficit when appraised using a 
     residual value approach that assigns domestic Alaska values 
     for western redcedar. Program accomplishments shall be based 
     on volume sold. Should Region 10 sell, in fiscal year 2003, 
     the annual average portion of the decadal allowable sale 
     quantity called for in the current Tongass Land Management 
     Plan in sales which are not deficit when appraised using a 
     residual value approach that assigns domestic Alaska values 
     for western redcedar, all of the western redcedar timber from 
     those sales which is surplus to the needs of domestic 
     processors in Alaska, shall be made available to domestic 
     processors in the contiguous 48 United States at prevailing 
     domestic prices. Should Region 10 sell, in fiscal year 2003, 
     less than the annual average portion of the decadal allowable 
     sale quantity called for in the Tongass Land Management Plan 
     in sales which are not deficit when appraised using a 
     residual value approach that assigns domestic Alaska values 
     for western redcedar, the volume of western redcedar timber 
     available to domestic processors at prevailing domestic 
     prices in the contiguous 48 United States shall be that 
     volume: (i) which is surplus to the needs of domestic 
     processors in Alaska, and (ii) is that percent of the surplus 
     western redcedar volume determined by calculating the ratio 
     of the total timber volume which has been sold on the Tongass 
     to the annual average portion of the decadal allowable sale 
     quantity called for in the current Tongass Land Management 
     Plan. The percentage shall be calculated by Region 10 on a 
     rolling basis as each sale is sold (for purposes of this 
     amendment, a ``rolling basis'' shall mean that the 
     determination of how much western redcedar is eligible for 
     sale to various markets shall be made at the time each sale 
     is awarded). Western redcedar shall be deemed ``surplus to 
     the needs of domestic processors in Alaska'' when the timber 
     sale holder has presented to the Forest Service documentation 
     of the inability to sell western redcedar logs from a given 
     sale to domestic Alaska processors at a price equal to or 
     greater than the log selling value stated in the contract. 
     All additional western redcedar volume not sold to Alaska or 
     contiguous 48 United States domestic processors may be 
     exported to foreign markets at the election of the timber 
     sale holder. All Alaska yellow cedar may be sold at 
     prevailing export prices at the election of the timber sale 
     holder.
       Sec. 320. A project undertaken by the Forest Service under 
     the Recreation Fee Demonstration Program as authorized by 
     section 315 of the Department of the Interior and Related 
     Agencies Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1996, as amended, 
     shall not result in--
       (1) displacement of the holder of an authorization to 
     provide commercial recreation services on Federal lands. 
     Prior to initiating any project, the Secretary shall consult 
     with potentially affected holders to determine what impacts 
     the project may have on the holders. Any modifications to the 
     authorization shall be made within the terms and conditions 
     of the authorization and authorities of the impacted agency.
       (2) the return of a commercial recreation service to the 
     Secretary for operation when such services have been provided 
     in the past by a private sector provider, except when--
       (A) the private sector provider fails to bid on such 
     opportunities;
       (B) the private sector provider terminates its relationship 
     with the agency; or
       (C) the agency revokes the permit for non-compliance with 
     the terms and conditions of the authorization.
       In such cases, the agency may use the Recreation Fee 
     Demonstration Program to provide for operations until a 
     subsequent operator can be found through the offering of a 
     new prospectus.
       Sec. 321. Revision of Forest Plans. Prior to October 1, 
     2003, the Secretary of Agriculture shall not be considered to 
     be in violation of subparagraph 6(f)(5)(A) of the Forest and 
     Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act of 1974 (16 U.S.C. 
     1604(f)(5)(A)) solely because more than 15 years have passed 
     without revision of the plan for a unit of the National 
     Forest System. Nothing in this section exempts the Secretary 
     from any other requirement of the Forest and Rangeland 
     Renewable Resources Planning Act (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.) or 
     any other law: Provided, That if the Secretary is not acting 
     expeditiously and in good faith, within the funding 
     available, to revise a plan for a unit of the National Forest 
     System, this section shall be void with respect to such plan 
     and a court of proper jurisdiction may order completion of 
     the plan on an accelerated basis.
       Sec. 322. No funds provided in this Act may be expended to 
     conduct preleasing, leasing and related activities under 
     either the Mineral Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.) or the 
     Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1331 et seq.) 
     within the boundaries of a National Monument established 
     pursuant to the Act of June 8, 1906 (16 U.S.C. 431 et seq.) 
     as such boundary existed on January 20, 2001, except where 
     such activities are allowed under the Presidential 
     proclamation establishing such monument.
       Sec. 323. Section 347(a) of the Department of the Interior 
     and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1999, as included in 
     Public Law 105-277 is amended by striking ``2004'' and 
     inserting ``2005''. The authority to enter into stewardship 
     and end result contracts provided to the Forest Service in 
     accordance with section 347 of title III of section 101(e) of 
     division A of Public Law 105-277 is hereby expanded to 
     authorize the Forest Service to enter into an additional 28 
     contracts subject to the same terms and conditions as 
     provided in that section: Provided, That of the additional 
     contracts authorized by this section at least 9 shall be 
     allocated to Region 1.
       Sec. 324. Employees of the foundations established by Acts 
     of Congress to solicit private sector funds on behalf of 
     Federal land management agencies shall, beginning in fiscal

       Sec. 325. In entering into agreements with foreign 
     countries pursuant to the Wildfire Suppression Assistance Act 
     (42 U.S.C. 1856m) the Secretary of Agriculture and the 
     Secretary of the Interior are authorized to enter into 
     reciprocal agreements in which the individuals furnished 
     under said agreements to provide wildfire services are 
     considered, for purposes of tort liability, employees of the 
     country receiving said services when the individuals are 
     fighting fires. The Secretary of Agriculture or the Secretary 
     of the Interior shall not enter into any agreement under this 
     provision unless the foreign country (either directly or 
     through its fire organization) agrees to assume any and all 
     liability for the acts or omissions of American firefighters 
     engaged in firefighting in a foreign country. When an 
     agreement is reached for furnishing fire fighting services, 
     the only remedies for acts or omissions committed while 
     fighting fires shall be those provided under the laws of the 
     host country and those remedies shall be the exclusive 
     remedies for any claim arising out of fighting fires in a 
     foreign country. Neither the sending country nor any 
     organization associated with the firefighter shall be subject 
     to any action whatsoever pertaining to or arising out of 
     fighting fires.

     of the Interior or a grazing permit issued by the Secretary

     fiscal year 2003 shall be renewed under Section 402 of the 
     Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, as amended 
     (43 U.S.C. 1752), Section 19 of the Granger-Thye Act, as 
     amended (16 U.S.C. 580l), or, if applicable, section 510 of 
     the California Desert Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 410aaa-50). 
     The terms and conditions contained in the expired, 
     transferred, or waived permit or lease shall continue in 
     effect under the renewed permit or lease until such time as 
     the Secretary of the Interior or Secretary of Agriculture as 
     appropriate completes processing of such permit or lease in 
     compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, at which 
     time such permit or lease may be canceled, suspended or 
     modified, in whole or in part, to meet the requirements of 
     such applicable laws and regulations. Nothing in this section 
     shall be deemed to alter the statutory authority of the 
     Secretary of the Interior or the Secretary of Agriculture: 
     Provided, That where National Forest System lands are 
     involved and the Secretary of Agriculture has renewed an 
     expired or waived grazing permit prior to fiscal year 2003 
     under the authority of Section 504 of the Rescissions Act of 
     1995 (Public Law 104-19), the terms and conditions of the 
     renewed grazing permit shall remain in effect until such time 
     as the Secretary of Agriculture completes processing of the 
     renewed permit in compliance with all applicable laws and 
     regulations or until the expiration of the renewed permit, 
     whichever comes first. Upon completion of the processing, the 
     permit may be canceled, suspended or modified, in whole or in 
     part, to meet the requirements of applicable laws and 
     regulations. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to alter 
     the Secretary of Agriculture's statutory authority.
       Sec. 327. In awarding a Federal Contract with funds made 
     available by this Act, the Secretary of Agriculture and the 
     Secretary of the Interior (the ``Secretaries'') may, in 
     evaluating bids and proposals, give consideration to local 
     contractors who are from, and who provide employment and 
     training for, dislocated and displaced workers in an 
     economically disadvantaged rural community, including those 
     historically timber-dependent areas that have been affected 
     by reduced timber harvesting on Federal lands and other 
     forest-dependent rural communities isolated from significant 
     alternative employment opportunities: Provided, That the 
     contract is for forest hazardous fuels reduction, watershed 
     or water quality monitoring or restoration, wildlife or fish 
     population monitoring, or habitat restoration or management: 
     Provided further, That the terms ``rural community'' and 
     ``economically disadvantaged'' shall have the same meanings

       (a) General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law,

  SA 4483. Mr. MURKOWSKI submitted an amendment intended to be proposed

Security, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the 
table; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC.   . FOOD AND DRINKING WATER SUPPLY SECURITY PROGRAM.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) section 413 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief 
     and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5180) authorizes the 
     purchase of food commodities to provide adequate supplies of 
     food for use in any area of the United States in the event of 
     a major disaster or emergency in the area;
       (2) the current terrorist threat was not envisioned when 
     that Act was enacted, and the Act does not specifically 
     require prepositioning of food supplies;
       (3) the maintenance of safe food and drinking water 
     supplies is essential;
       (4) stored food supplies for major cities are minimal;
       (5) if terrorist activity were to disrupt the 
     transportation system, affect food supplies directly, or 
     create a situation in which a quarantine would have to be 
     declared, it would require a considerable period of time to 
     ensure delivery of safe food supplies;
       (6) terrorist activity could also disrupt drinking water 
     supplies; and
       (7) accordingly, emergency food and drinking water 
     repositories should be established at such locations as will 
     ensure the availability of food and drinking water to 
     populations in areas that are vulnerable to terrorist 
     activity.
       (b) Report.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security 
     shall submit to Congress a report with information necessary 
     to the establishment of secure prepositioned emergency 
     supplies of food and drinking water for major population 
     centers for use in the event of a breakdown in the food 
     supply and delivery chain.
       (2) Considerations.--The report shall consider the 
     likelihood of such breakdowns occurring from accidents and 
     natural disasters as well as terrorist activity.
       (3) Contents.--The report shall--
       (A) identify the 20 most vulnerable metropolitan areas or 
     population concentrations in the United States; and
       (B) make recommendations regarding the appropriate number 
     of days' supply of food to be maintained to ensure the 
     security of the population in each such area.
       (c) Repositories.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than 1 year after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security 
     shall establish secure repositories for food and drinking 
     water in each of the 20 areas identified in the report.
       (2) Accessibility.--The repositories shall be locally 
     accessible without special equipment in the event of major 
     transportation breakdown.
       (d) Purchase of Supplies.--
       (1) In general.--The Secretary of Agriculture shall 
     purchase and maintain food and water stocks for each 
     repository, consistent with determinations made by the 
     Secretary of Homeland Security.
       (2) Phasing in.--Purchases and full stocking of 
     repositories may be phased in over a period of not more than 
     3 years.
       (3) Products of the united states.--The Secretary of 
     Agriculture shall purchase for the repositories food and 
     water supplies produced, processed, and packaged exclusively 
     in the United States.
       (4) Selection.--Food and water supplies for the 
     repositories shall be selected and managed so as to provide--
       (A) quantities and packaging suitable for immediate 
     distribution to individuals and families;
       (B) forms of food products suitable for immediate 
     consumption in an emergency without heating and without 
     further preparation;
       (C) packaging that ensures that food products are maximally 
     resistant to postproduction contamination or adulteration;
       (D) packaging and preservation technology to ensure that

  SA 4484. Mr. MURKOWSKI submitted an amendment intended to be proposed

[[Page 16034]]

by him to the bill H.R. 5005, to establish the Department of Homeland 
Security, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the 
table; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC.  . NATIONAL DEFENSE RAIL CONNECTION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) A comprehensive rail transportation network is a key 
     element of an integrated transportation system for the North 
     American continent, and federal leadership is required to 
     address the needs of a reliable, safe, and secure rail 
     network, and to connect all areas of the United States for 
     national defense and economic development, as previously done 
     for the interstate highway system, the Federal aviation 
     network, and the transcontinental railroad;
       (2) The creation and use of joint use corridors for rail 
     transportation, fiber optics, pipelines, and utilities are an 
     efficient and appropriate approach to optimizing the nation's 
     interconnectivity and national security;
       (3) Government assistance and encouragement in the 
     development of the transcontinental rail system successfully 
     led to the growth of economically strong and socially stable 
     communities throughout the western United States;
       (4) Government assistance and encouragement in the 
     development of the Alaska Railroad between Seward, Alaska and 
     Fairbanks, Alaska successfully led to the growth of 
     economically strong and socially stable communities along the 
     route, which today provide homes for over 70% of Alaska's 
     total population;
       (5) While Alaska and the remainder of the continental 
     United States has been connected by highway and air 
     transportation, no rail connection exists despite the fact 
     that Alaska is accessible by land routes and is a logical 
     destination for the North American rail system;
       (6) Rail transportation in otherwise isolated areas is an 
     appropriate means of providing controlled access, reducing 
     overall impacts to environmentally sensitive areas over other 
     methods of land-based access;
       (7) Because Congress originally authorized 1,000 miles of 
     rail line to be built in Alaska, and because the system today 
     covers only approximately half that distance, substantially 
     limiting its beneficial effect on the economy of Alaska and 
     the nation, it is appropriate to support the expansion of the 
     Alaska system to ensure the originally planned benefits are 
     achieved;
       (8) Alaska has an abundance of natural resources, both 
     material and aesthetic, access to which would significantly 
     increase Alaska's contribution to the national economy;
       (9) Alaska contains many key national defense 
     installations, including sites chosen for the construction of 
     the first phase of the National Missile Defense system, the 
     cost of which could be significantly reduced if rail 
     transportation were available for the movement of materials 
     necessary for construction and for the secure movement of 
     launch vehicles, fuel and other operational supplies;
       (10) The 106th Congress recognized the potential benefits 
     of establishing a rail connection to Alaska by enacting 
     legislation to authorize a U.S.-Canada bilateral commission 
     to study the feasibility of linking the rail system in Alaska 
     to the nearest appropriate point in Canada of the North 
     American rail network; and
       (11) In support of pending bilateral activities between the 
     United States and Canada, it is appropriate for the United 
     States to undertake activities relating to elements within 
     the United States.
       (b) Identification of National Defense Railroad-Utility 
     Corridor.--
       (1) Within one year from the date of enactment of this Act, 
     the Secretary of the Interior, in consultation with the 
     Secretary of Transportation, the State of Alaska and the 
     Alaska Railroad Corporation, shall identify a proposed 
     national defense railroad-utility corridor linking the 
     existing corridor of the Alaska Railroad to the vicinity of 
     the proposed National Missile Defense facilities at Fort 
     Greely, Alaska. The corridor shall be at least 500 feet wide 
     and shall also identify land for such terminals, stations, 
     maintenance facilities, switching yards, and material sites 
     as are considered necessary.
       (2) The identification of the corridor under paragraph (1) 
     shall include information providing a complete legal 
     description and noting the current ownership of the proposed 
     corridor and associated land.
       (3) In identifying the corridor under paragraph (1), the 
     Secretary shall consider, at a minimum, the following 
     factors:
       (A) The proximity of national defense installations and 
     national defense considerations;
       (B) The location of and access to natural resources that 
     could contribute to economic development of the region;
       (C) Grade and alignment standards that are commensurate 
     with rail and utility construction standards and that 
     minimize the prospect of at-grade railroad and highway 
     crossings;
       (D) Availability of construction materials;
       (E) Safety;
       (F) Effects on and service to adjacent communities and 
     potential intermodal transportation connections;
       (G) Environmental concerns;
       (H) Use of public land to the maximum degree possible;
       (I) Minimization of probable construction costs;
       (J) An estimate of probable construction costs and methods 
     of financing such costs through a combination of private, 
     state, and federal sources; and
       (K) Appropriate utility elements for the corridor, 
     including but not limited to petroleum product pipelines, 
     fiber-optic telecommunication facilities, and electrical 
     power transmission lines, and
       (L) Prior and established traditional uses.
       (4) The Secretary may, as part of the corridor 
     identification, include issues related to the further 
     extension of such corridor to a connection with the nearest 
     appropriate terminus of the North American rail network in 
     Canada.
       (c) Negotiation and Land Transfer.--
       (1) The Secretary of the Interior shall--
       (A) upon completion of the corridor identification in 
     subsection (b), negotiate the acquisition of any lands in the 
     corridor which are not federally owned through an exchange 
     for lands of equal or greater value held by the federal 
     government elsewhere in Alaska; and
       (B) upon completion of the acquisition of lands under 
     paragraph (A), the Secretary shall convey to the Alaska 
     Railroad Corporation, subject to valid existing rights, title 
     to the lands identified under subsection (b) as necessary to 
     complete the national defense railroad-utility corridor, on 
     condition that the Alaska Railroad Corporation construct in 
     the corridor an extension of the railroad system to the 
     vicinity of the proposed national missile defense 
     installation at Fort Greely, Alaska, together with such other 
     utilities, including but not limited to fiber-optic 
     transmission lines and electrical transmission lines, as it 
     considers necessary and appropriate. The Federal interest in 
     lands conveyed to the Alaska Railroad Corporation under this 
     Act shall be the same as in lands conveyed pursuant to the 
     Alaska Railroad Transfer Act (45 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.).
       (d) Applicability of Other Laws.--Actions authorized in 
     this Act shall proceed immediately and to conclusion not 
     withstanding the land-use planning provisions of Section 202 
     of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, P.L. 
     94-579.
       (e) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized 
     to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out 
     the provisions of this Act.
