     SEC. __01. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Chemical Security Act of 
     2003''.

     SEC. __02. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) the chemical industry is a crucial part of the critical 
     infrastructure of the United States--
       (A) in its own right; and
       (B) because that industry supplies resources essential to 
     the functioning of other critical infrastructures;
       (2) the possibility of terrorist and criminal attacks on 
     chemical sources (such as industrial facilities) poses a 
     serious threat to public health, safety, and welfare, 
     critical infrastructure, national security, and the 
     environment;
       (3) the possibility of theft of dangerous chemicals from 
     chemical sources for use in terrorist attacks poses a further 
     threat to public health, safety, and welfare, critical 
     infrastructure, national security, and the environment; and
       (4) there are significant opportunities to prevent theft 
     from, and criminal attack on, chemical sources and reduce the 
     harm that such acts would produce by--
       (A)(i) reducing usage and storage of chemicals by changing 
     production methods and processes; and
       (ii) employing inherently safer technologies in the 
     manufacture, transport, and use of chemicals;
       (B) enhancing secondary containment and other existing 
     mitigation measures; and
       (C) improving security.

       (d) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) the savings accruing to the Postal Service as a result 
     of the enactment of this Act will be sufficient to allow the 
     Postal Service to fulfill its commitment to hold postage 
     rates unchanged until at least 2006;
       (2) because the Postal Service still faces substantial 
     obligations related to postretirement health benefits for its 
     current and former employees, some portion of the savings 
     referred to in paragraph (1) should be used to address those 
     unfunded obligations; and
       (3) none of the savings referred to in paragraph (1) should 
     be used in the computation of any bonuses for Postal Service 
     executives.
       (e) Postal Service Proposal.--
       (1) In general.--The United States Postal Service shall, by 
     September 30, 2003, prepare and submit to the President, the 
     Congress, and the General Accounting Office its proposal 
     detailing how any savings accruing to the Postal Service as a 
     result of the enactment of this Act, which are attributable 
     to any fiscal year after fiscal year 2005, should be 
     expended.
       (2) Matters to consider.--In preparing its proposal under 
     this subsection, the Postal Service shall consider--
       (A) whether, and to what extent, those future savings 
     should be used to address--
       (i) debt repayment;
       (ii) prefunding of postretirement healthcare benefits for 
     current and former postal employees;
       (iii) productivity and cost saving capital investments;
       (iv) delaying or moderating increases in postal rates; and
       (v) any other matter; and
       (B) the work of the President's Commission on the United 
     States Postal Service under section 5 of Executive Order 
     13278 (67 Fed. Reg. 76672).
       (3) GAO review and report.--Not later than 60 days after 
     the Postal Service submits its proposal pursuant to paragraph 
     (1), the General Accounting Office shall prepare and submit a 
     written evaluation of such proposal to the Committee on 
     Government Reform of the House of Representatives and the 
     Committee on Governmental Affairs of the Senate.
       (4) Legislative action.--Not later than 180 days after it 
     has received both the proposal of the Postal Service and the 
     evaluation of such proposal by the General Accounting Office 
     under this subsection, Congress shall revisit the question of 
     how the savings accruing to the Postal Service as a result of 
     the enactment of this Act should be used.
       (f) Determination and Disposition of Surplus.--
       (1) In general.--If, as of the date under paragraph (2), 
     the Office of Personnel Management determines (after 
     consultation with the Postmaster General) that the 
     computation under section 8348(h)(1)(A) of title 5, United 
     States Code, yields a negative amount (hereinafter referred 
     to as a ``surplus'')--
       (A) the Office shall inform the Postmaster General of its 
     determination, including the size of the surplus so 
     determined; and
       (B) the Postmaster General shall submit to the Congress a 
     report describing how the Postal Service proposes that such 
     surplus be used, including a draft of any legislation that 
     might be necessary.
       (2) Determination date.--The date to be used for purposes 
     of paragraph (1) shall be September 30, 2025, or such earlier 
     date as, in the judgment of the Office, is the date by which 
     all postal employees under the Civil Service Retirement 
     System will have retired.
       (g) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--
       (1) the savings accruing to the Postal Service as a result 
     of the enactment of this Act shall, for any fiscal year, be 
     equal to the amount (if any) by which--
       (A) the contributions that the Postal Service would 
     otherwise have been required to make to the Civil Service 
     Retirement and Disability Fund for such fiscal year if this 
     Act had not been enacted, exceed
       (B) the contributions made by the Postal Service to such 
     Fund for such fiscal year; and
       (2) the term ``postal debt'' means the outstanding 
     obligations of the Postal Service, as determined under 
     chapter 20 of title 39, United States Code.

     SEC. 4. EFFECTIVE DATE.

       This Act and the amendments made by this Act shall become 
     effective on the date of the enactment of this Act, except 
     that the amendments made by section 2(b) shall apply with 
     respect to pay periods beginning on or after such date.
                                 ______
