an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the concurrent 
resolution S. Con. Res. 95, setting forth the congressional budget for 
the United States Government for fiscal year 2005 and including the

was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

       At the end of title V, insert the following:

     SEC. __. FINDINGS AND SENSE OF THE SENATE.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) the United States is in the grip of pervasively higher 
     home energy prices;
       (2) high natural gas, heating oil, and propane prices are, 
     in general, having an effect that is rippling through the 
     United States economy and are, in particular, impacting home 
     energy bills;
       (3) while persons in many sectors can adapt to natural gas, 
     heating oil, and propane price increases, persons in some 
     sectors simply cannot;
       (4) elderly and disabled citizens who are living on fixed 
     incomes, the working poor, and other low-income individuals 
     face hardships wrought by high home energy prices;
       (5) the energy burden for persons among the working poor 
     often exceeds 20 percent of those persons' incomes under 
     normal conditions;
       (6) under current circumstances, home energy prices are 
     unnaturally high, and these are not normal circumstances;
       (7) while critically important and encouraged, State energy 
     assistance and charitable assistance funds have been 
     overwhelmed by the crisis caused by the high home energy 
     prices;
       (8) the Federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program 
     (referred to in this section as ``LIHEAP'') and the companion 
     weatherization assistance program (referred to in this 
     section as ``WAP''), are the Federal Government's primary 
     means to assist eligible low-income individuals in the United 
     States to shoulder the burdens caused by their home cooling 
     and heating needs;
       (9) in 2003, LIHEAP reached only 15 percent of the persons 
     in the United States who were eligible for assistance under 
     the program;
       (10) since LIHEAP's inception, its inflation-adjusted 
     buying power has eroded by 58 percent; and
       (11) current Federal funding for LIHEAP is not sufficient 
     to meet the cooling and heating needs of low-income families.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the levels in this concurrent resolution assume--
       (1) an authorization of $3,400,000,000 for each of fiscal 
     years 2005 and 2006 to carry out the LIHEAP program;
       (2) an authorization of $400,000,000 for fiscal year 2005 
     and $500,000,000 for fiscal year 2006 to carry out the WAP 
     program;
       (3) appropriations, for these programs, of sufficient 
     additional funds to realistically address the cooling and 
     heating needs of low-income families, as well as the systemic 
     shortfalls that have plagued the programs and the eligible 
     individuals that the programs are designed to assist; and
       (4) advance appropriations of the necessary funds to ensure 
     the smooth operation of the programs during times of peak 
     demand.

       (a) Definition.--In this section, for purposes of

     ``discretionary spending limit'' means--
       (1) for the defense category, $420,794,000,000 in new

     that exceeds any discretionary spending limit set forth in

       (c) Waiver and Appeal.--This section may be waived or 
     suspended in the Senate only by an affirmative vote of \3/5\ 
     of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. An affirmative vote of 
     \3/5\ of the Members of the Senate, duly chosen and sworn,

                   GLOBAL FUND TO FIGHT AIDS, TUBERCULOSIS, AND 
                   MALARIA.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) the United States--
       (A) helped establish The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, 
     Tuberculosis, and Malaria (referred to in this section as the 
     ``Fund'');
       (B) provided its first donation; and
       (C) provides leadership to the Fund under Fund Board 
     Chairman Tommy Thompson, Secretary of the Department of 
     Health and Human Services;
       (2) as a complement to the President's historic 15-country 
     AIDS initiative, the Fund provides resources to fight AIDS, 
     tuberculosis, malaria, and related diseases around the world;
       (3) section 202 of the United States Leadership Against 
     HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act of 2004 (22 U.S.C. 
     7622) authorizes contributions to the Fund to the extent that 
     United States contributions do not exceed 33 percent of all 
     contributions to the Fund, allowing the United States to 
     contribute $1 for every $2 contributed by other sources.
       (4) during fiscal years 2001 through 2003, the United 
     States provided $623,000,000 of the total contributions of 
     $1,900,000,000 to the Fund, which represents approximately 
     \1/3\ of total contributions to the Fund;
       (5) Congress has appropriated $547,000,000 to the Fund for 
     fiscal year 2004, which has been matched by confirmed pledges 
     of $994,000,000, and is slightly more than \1/3\ of total 
     pledges, with additional pledges expected; and
       (6) over the life of the Fund, Congress has appropriated 
     sufficient amounts to match contributions from other sources 
     to The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria 
     on a 1-to-2 basis.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the levels in this concurrent resolution assume that new 
     budget authority and outlays for fiscal year 2005 within the 
     major functional category entitled ``International Affairs 
     (150)'' provide sufficient funds to continue matching 
     contributions from other sources to The Global Fund to Fight 
     AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria on a 1-to-2 basis.

       At the end of title V, insert the following:

     SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING PRIORITIES FOR 
                   EDUCATION FUNDING.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) According to the Department of Education, 5,000 schools 
     have been identified for school improvement, making 2,500,000 
     children eligible to transfer to a higher performing public 
     school.
       (2) Section 1116(b)(1)(E) of the Elementary and Secondary 
     Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 6316(b)(1)(E)) requires a 
     school that has failed to make adequate yearly progress for 2 
     consecutive years to provide an option for students to 
     transfer to a higher performing public school.
       (3) The overwhelming majority of parents who have tried to 
     exercise their right to transfer their children to a higher 
     performing public school have been denied the transfer due to 
     a lack of capacity at these higher performing schools.
       (4) Full funding for the Elementary and Secondary Education 
     Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 6301 et seq.) (as amended by the No 
     Child Left Behind Act of 2001) will enable public schools to 
     address these capacity issues and will provide parents with 
     meaningful school choice.
       (5) Full funding for the Elementary and Secondary Education 
     Act of 1965 (as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 
     2001) will enable low performing schools to improve by giving 
     the schools the resources to serve an additional 2,000,000 
     disadvantaged students, hire an additional 100,000 highly 
     qualified teachers, and provide after school tutoring for an 
     additional 1,400,000 students.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the budgetary totals in this resolution assume that no 
     funds will be made available for new programs aimed at 
     transferring students into private schools until school 
     improvement programs under part A of title I, part A of title 
     II, part A of title IV, and parts A and B of title V, of the 
     Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 
     6311 et seq., 6601 et seq., 7101 et seq., 7201 et seq., 7221 
     et seq.) (as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001) 
     are funded at their authorized levels.

     SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING COMPENSATION FOR 
                   EXPOSURE TO TOXIC SUBSTANCES AT THE DEPARTMENT 
                   OF ENERGY.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
       (1) The Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation 
     Program Act of 2000 (42 U.S.C. 7384 et seq.) (referred to in 
     this section as the ``EEOICPA'') is intended to ensure the 
     timely payment of uniform and adequate compensation to 
     covered employees suffering from occupational illnesses 
     incurred during their work for the Department of Energy.
       (2) The Department of Labor is responsible for implementing 
     the provisions under subtitle B of the EEOICPA, relating to 
     claims for radiation related cancers, beryllium disease, and 
     silicosis. The Department of Labor has, within its area of 
     responsibility, processed over 95 percent of the 52,000 
     claims it has received, and is processing these claims in an 
     average of 73 days.
       (3) As of the date of enactment of this resolution, the 
     Department of Health and Human Services has not promulgated 
     the regulations required under section 3626 of the EEOICPA 
     for allowing claimants to petition to be members of the 
     Special Exposure Cohort. Special Exposure Cohorts provide a 
     presumption in favor of the claimant for radiation related 
     cancers if--
       (A) it is not feasible to estimate radiation dose with 
     sufficient accuracy; and
       (B) there is a reasonable likelihood that the health of the 
     class of workers may have been endangered.
       (4) The Department of Energy, which is responsible for 
     implementing subtitle D of the EEOICPA, relating to 
     occupational illness caused by exposure to toxic substances 
     at Department of Energy facilities, finalized its regulations 
     on August 14, 2002. The Department of Energy has processed 1 
     percent of the 22,000 claims received through the Department 
     of Energy physicians panels since its regulations were made 
     final.
       (5) The Department of Energy has no willing payor for up to 
     50 percent of the claims that its physicians panels determine 
     to be related to exposure to a toxic substance at the 
     Department of Energy. As a consequence, many claimants with a 
     positive determination from the physicians panel will be 
     denied benefits. Many States, including Alaska, Colorado, 
     Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, New Mexico, Idaho, and 
     Nevada, may not have a willing payor.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) claims for occupational illness, which are determined 
     to be caused by exposure to toxic substances at Department of 
     Energy facilities under subtitle D of the EEOICPA, should be 
     promptly, equitably, and efficiently compensated;
       (2) administrative and technical changes should be made to 
     the EEOICPA to--
       (A) improve claims processing and review by physicians 
     panels to ensure cost-effective and efficient consideration 
     and determination of workers' claims;
       (B) provide for membership in additional special exposure 
     cohorts; and
       (C) address eligibility issues at facilities with residual 
     radiation; and
       (3) the President and Congress should work together at the 
     earliest opportunity to develop a plan that effectively 
     resolves the issue of a lack of a willing payor for many 
     claims that are determined under subtitle D of the EEOICPA to 
     be related to exposure to

[[Page 4246]]

     a toxic substance at Department of Energy facilities.

     SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING CHILD NUTRITION 
                   FUNDING.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) Federal child nutrition programs have long played a 
     critical role in providing children in the United States with 
     quality nutrition from birth through secondary school;
       (2) recognizing the value of these benefits to children in 
     the United States, Congress has an enduring tradition of 
     bipartisan support for these programs;
       (3) children in the United States are increasingly at 
     nutritional risk due to poor dietary habits, lack of access 
     to nutritious foods, and obesity and diet-related diseases 
     associated with poor dietary intake;
       (4) many children in the United States who would benefit 
     from Federal child nutrition programs do not receive benefits 
     due to financial or administrative barriers; and
       (5) Federal child nutrition programs are expected to be 
     reauthorized in the 108th Congress.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the levels in this concurrent resolution assume that in 
     making appropriations and revenue decisions, the Senate 
     supports the retention in the conference report for this 
     concurrent resolution of the additional funds provided in 
     this concurrent resolution for the reauthorization of Federal 
     child nutrition programs.

       At the end of title V, insert the following:

     SEC. __. FINDINGS AND SENSE OF THE SENATE.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) the United States is in the grip of pervasively higher 
     home energy prices;
       (2) high natural gas, heating oil, and propane prices are, 
     in general, having an effect that is rippling through the 
     United States economy and are, in particular, impacting home 
     energy bills;
       (3) while persons in many sectors can adapt to natural gas, 
     heating oil, and propane price increases, persons in some 
     sectors simply cannot;
       (4) elderly and disabled citizens who are living on fixed 
     incomes, the working poor, and other low-income individuals 
     face hardships wrought by high home energy prices;
       (5) the energy burden for persons among the working poor 
     often exceeds 20 percent of

[[Page 4247]]

     those persons' incomes under normal conditions;
       (6) under current circumstances, home energy prices are 
     unnaturally high, and these are not normal circumstances;
       (7) while critically important and encouraged, State energy 
     assistance and charitable assistance funds have been 
     overwhelmed by the crisis caused by the high home energy 
     prices;
       (8) the Federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program 
     (referred to in this section as ``LIHEAP'') and the companion 
     weatherization assistance program (referred to in this 
     section as ``WAP''), are the Federal Government's primary 
     means to assist eligible low-income individuals in the United 
     States to shoulder the burdens caused by their home cooling 
     and heating needs;
       (9) in 2003, LIHEAP reached only 15 percent of the persons 
     in the United States who were eligible for assistance under 
     the program;
       (10) since LIHEAP's inception, its inflation-adjusted 
     buying power has eroded by 58 percent; and
       (11) current Federal funding for LIHEAP is not sufficient 
     to meet the cooling and heating needs of low-income families.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the levels in this concurrent resolution assume--
       (1) an authorization of $3,400,000,000 for each of fiscal 
     years 2005 and 2006 to carry out the LIHEAP program;
       (2) an authorization of $400,000,000 for fiscal year 2005 
     and $500,000,000 for fiscal year 2006 to carry out the WAP 
     program;
       (3) appropriations, for these programs, of sufficient 
     additional funds to realistically address the cooling and 
     heating needs of low-income families; and
       (4) advance appropriations of the necessary funds to ensure 
     the smooth operation of the programs during times of peak 
     demand.

   TITLE V--IDENTIFICATION OF COUNTRIES THAT DENY MARKET ACCESS FOR 
                         AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS

     SEC. 501. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``United States Agricultural 
     Products Market Access Act of 2004''.

     SEC. 502. FINDINGS; PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The export of agricultural products is of vital 
     importance to the economy of the United States.
       (2) In 2002, agriculture was a large positive contributor 
     to the United States merchandise trade balance with a trade 
     surplus of $12,300,000,000.
       (3) The growth of United States agricultural exports should 
     continue to be an important factor in improving the United 
     States merchandise trade balance.
       (4) Increasing the volume of agricultural exports will 
     increase farm income in the United States, thereby protecting 
     family farms and contributing to the economic well-being of 
     rural communities in the United States.
       (5) Although the United States efficiently produces high-
     quality agricultural products, United States producers cannot 
     realize their

[[Page 4248]]

     full export potential because many foreign countries deny 
     fair and equitable market access to United States 
     agricultural products.
       (6) The Foreign Agricultural Service estimates that United 
     States agricultural exports are reduced by $4,700,000,000 
     annually due to unjustifiable imposition of sanitary and 
     phytosanitary measures that deny or limit market access to 
     United States products.
       (7) The denial of fair and equitable market access for 
     United States agricultural products impedes the ability of 
     United States farmers to export their products, thereby 
     harming the economic interests of the United States.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
       (1) to reduce or eliminate foreign unfair trade practices 
     and to remove constraints on fair and open trade in 
     agricultural products;
       (2) to ensure fair and equitable market access for exports 
     of United States agricultural products; and
       (3) to promote free and fair trade in agricultural 
     products.

     SEC. 503. IDENTIFICATION OF COUNTRIES THAT DENY MARKET 
                   ACCESS.

       (a) Identification Required.--Chapter 8 of title I of the

     referred to as the `Trade Representative') shall identify--
       ``(1) those foreign countries that--

     States agricultural products, or

     scientific evidence, and
       ``(2) those foreign countries identified under paragraph 
     (1) that are determined by the Trade Representative to be 
     priority foreign countries.

     under subsection (a)(2), the Trade Representative shall only

     acts, policies, or practices that deny fair and equitable 
     market access to United States agricultural products,
       ``(B) whose acts, policies, or practices described in 
     subparagraph (A) have the greatest adverse impact (actual or 
     potential) on the relevant United States products, and

     submitted under section 302.
       ``(3) Factual basis requirement.--The Trade Representative 
     may identify a foreign country under subsection (a)(1) only

     the existence of barriers, referred to in subsection (d).
       ``(4) Consideration of historical factors.--In identifying 
     foreign countries under paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection

       ``(c) Revocations and Additional Identifications.--
       ``(1) Authority to act at any time.--If information 
     available to the Trade Representative indicates that such

     of any foreign country as a priority foreign country under 
     this section.
       ``(d) Denial of Fair and Equitable Market Access Defined.--

     and equitable market access if the foreign country 
     effectively denies access to a market for a product through 
     the use of laws, procedures, practices, or regulations 
     which--
       ``(1) violate provisions of international law or 
     international agreements to which both the United States and 
     the foreign country are parties, or
       ``(2) constitute discriminatory nontariff trade barriers.

  SA 2815. Mr. GRASSLEY submitted an amendment intended to be proposed 
by him to the bill S. 1637, to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 
to comply with the World Trade Organization rulings on the FSC/ETI 
benefit in a manner that preserves jobs and production activities in 
the United States, to reform and simplify the international taxation 
rules of the United States, and for other purposes; which was ordered

       At the end of the bill, add the following:

                TITLE V--AGRICULTURAL TRADE COMPLIANCE.

     SEC. 501. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Mexican Agricultural Trade 
     Compliance Act''.

     SEC. 502. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 provides that, if 
     the United States Trade Representative determines that the 
     rights of the United States under any trade agreement are 
     being denied, the Trade Representative shall take action to 
     enforce such rights.
       (2) The Statement of Administrative Action accompanying the 
     Uruguay Round Agreements Act provided that the United States 
     Trade Representative would base any section 301 determination 
     as to whether there has been a violation or denial of United 
     States rights under the Uruguay Round Agreements on panel or 
     Appellate Body findings adopted by the Dispute Settlement 
     Body of the World Trade Organization.
       (3) In a panel report adopted by the Dispute Settlement 
     Body on January 27, 2000, the Dispute Settlement Body 
     determined that section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 is not 
     inconsistent with United States obligations under the Uruguay 
     Round Agreements, particularly in light of the decision of 
     the United States to use section 301 only after exhausting 
     its rights under the Dispute Settlement Understanding.
       (4) On January 28, 2000, a panel of the World Trade 
     Organization determined that

[[Page 4249]]

     Mexico's antidumping order on high fructose corn syrup 
     imported from the United States violated Mexico's commitments 
     under the Uruguay Round Agreements.
       (5) On February 24, 2000, the Dispute Settlement Body 
     adopted the report of the panel.
       (6) On April 10, 2000, the United States and Mexico agreed 
     to a September 22, 2000, deadline for Mexico to come into 
     compliance with the panel report as adopted by the Dispute 
     Settlement Body.
       (7) On September 20, 2000, just 2 days prior to the date 
     Mexico had agreed to come into compliance with the panel 
     report, Mexico issued a revised antidumping threat 
     determination in an obvious attempt to evade its commitment 
     to come into compliance with the panel report adopted by the 
     Dispute Settlement Body.
       (8) On June 22, 2001, a panel, convened pursuant to Article 
     21.5 of the Dispute Settlement Understanding, found that 
     Mexico's revised antidumping threat determination failed to 
     bring Mexico into compliance with its commitments under the 
     World Trade Organization.
       (9) On October 22, 2001, the Appellate Body affirmed the 
     ruling of the Article 21.5 panel and recommended that Mexico 
     come into compliance with its obligations under the World 
     Trade Organization.
       (10) On November 21, 2001, the Dispute Settlement Body 
     adopted the Appellate Body ruling that affirmed the findings 
     of the Article 21.5 panel.
       (11) On January 1, 2002, in a transparent attempt to evade 
     the determinations of the Dispute Settlement Body regarding 
     Mexico's antidumping order on high fructose corn syrup, and 
     in an affront to the rules-based system of the World Trade 
     Organization, Mexico imposed a de facto discriminatory 20 
     percent tax on soft drinks containing high fructose corn 
     syrup, the intent and effect of which is to continue Mexico's 
     antidumping order on United States high fructose corn syrup 
     by other means by restricting access to the Mexican market.
       (12) On April 20, 2002, with its discriminatory tax on soft 
     drinks containing high fructose corn syrup now in place, and 
     in a continuous event with the imposition of this tax, Mexico 
     lifted its antidumping order on high fructose corn syrup. 
     Importantly, Mexico lifted its antidumping order only after 
     ensuring that imports of United States high fructose corn 
     syrup would not enter the Mexican market due to the 
     imposition of the tax on soft drinks. Mexico's lifting of its 
     antidumping order enabled it to make the disingenuous claim 
     that it had come into compliance with the findings adopted by 
     the Dispute Settlement Body regarding Mexico's antidumping 
     order.
       (13) The imposition of the tax on soft drinks and the 
     lifting of the antidumping order by Mexico are related 
     aspects of a unified effort by Mexico to deny the rights of 
     the United States with respect to the trade of high fructose 
     corn syrup.
       (14) The effects of the import restrictions of Mexico's 
     antidumping order continue with even more egregious results 
     through the imposition of a 20 percent tax on high fructose 
     corn syrup. Imports of high fructose corn syrup from the 
     United States dropped from 110,893 metric tons in 2001 (the 
     year prior to the lifting of the antidumping order) to 4,868 
     metric tons in 2002 (the first year of the tax).
       (15) The United States has exhausted proceedings under the 
     Dispute Settlement Understanding, and the Dispute Settlement 
     Body has on more than 1 occasion adopted findings adverse to 
     Mexico.

     Agreements are being denied by Mexico in connection with the 
     imposition by Mexico of a 20 percent tax on soft drinks

       (A) constitutes an act, policy, or practice by Mexico that 
     is unjustifiable and burdens or restricts United States 
     commerce for purposes of section 304(a)(1) of the Trade Act 
     of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2414(a)(1)); and
       (B) denies rights to which the United States is entitled

     SEC. 5__. SENSE OF THE SENATE SUPPORTING FUNDING RESTORATION 
                   FOR AGRICULTURE RESEARCH AND EXTENSION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) funding for 33 programs administered by the Cooperative 
     State Research, Education, and Extension Service of the 
     Department of Agriculture were each reduced by 10 percent in 
     the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug 
     Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2004 
     (118 Stat. 9);
       (2) those cuts are already hurting a wide range of proven 
     programs that help people, communities, and businesses;
       (3) the cuts have put at risk important advances made in 
     all 50 States and United States territories, including--
       (A) combating obesity through programs such as the Expanded 
     Food and Nutrition Education Program;
       (B) expanding environmentally-minded pest management 
     programs;
       (C) ensuring food safety; and

[[Page 4254]]

       (D) educating farmers and ranchers about new sustainable 
     agricultural practices;
       (4) the National Research Initiative is the flagship 
     competitive grants program funded through the Cooperative 
     State Research, Education, and Extension Service;
       (5) because of limited funding the Service is able to fund 
     only a small fraction of the meritorious research proposals 
     that the Service receives under the National Research 
     Initiative program; and
       (6) base funding at the Service that supports the research 
     infrastructure has fallen steadily over the past decade.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that levels in this concurrent resolution assume that in 
     making appropriations and revenue decisions, the Senate 
     supports--

     ``SEC.   . SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING MEDICARE REWARDING 
                   EFFICIENCY AND QUALITY IN MEDICARE.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) Regional differences in Medicare spending exist across 
     the country, and that Medicare enrollees in higher-spending 
     regions receive more health care than those in lower-spending 
     regions but do not have better health outcomes or 
     satisfaction with care;
       (2) Although Medicare as a health care payment system is 
     working to improve quality, current reimbursements are 
     largely neutral or negative toward quality;
       (3) Medicare as a payment system does not recognize health 
     care professional who provide high-quality care at low costs 
     through differential reimbursements;
       (4) The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the 
     Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, and Congress have 
     affirmed recently their commitment to using financial 
     incentives to improve quality in the Medicare program;
       (5) The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has 
     demonstrations underway for dialysis patients, physician 
     group practices, and hospitals to test pay-for-performance 
     strategies;
       (6) The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, the 
     independent federal body that advises Congress on issues 
     affecting the Medicare program, recently concluded in its 
     June 2003 report that Medicare should take a lead role in 
     adopting pay-for-performance strategies;
       (7) First the first time in the history, Congress passed 
     legislation, now law, that provides financial incentive to 
     Medicare participating hospitals that publicly report 
     information on ten measures of high-quality health care;
       (8) The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and 
     Modernization Act of 2003 requires that for fiscal years 2005 
     through 2007 hospitals will receive a full market basket 
     inflationary payment update only if they submit data 
     reflecting ten hospital quality indicators the Secretary has 
     established as of November 1, 2003. Hospitals that do not 
     submit performance data on these ten hospital quality 
     measures will receive 0.4 percent smaller Medicare payments 
     in fiscal year 2005 than hospitals that do report quality 
     data;
       (9) The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and 
     Modernization Act of 2003 also provides for a five-year 
     demonstration program that examines health delivery factors 
     which encourage the delivery of improved patient care quality 
     including incentives to improve safety, quality, and 
     efficiency;
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that changes need to be made to the Medicare payment system 
     that recognize clinically effective, patient-centered and 
     efficient care.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) animal identification is important for operational 
     management, herd health, and increased trade opportunities;
       (2) animal identification is a critical component of the 
     animal health infrastructure of the United States;

     United States to protect animal agriculture in the United 
     States by safeguarding animal health;

     is critical to an effective response to an imminent threat to 
     animal health or food safety.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the levels in this concurrent resolution assume that in 
     making appropriations and revenue decisions, the Senate 
     supports--
       (1) the development and implementation of a national animal 
     identification program recognizing the need for resources to 
     carry out the implementation of the plan;

     time-line for the development and implementation of the 
     program as soon as practicable after the date of approval of 
     this concurrent resolution;
       (3) the provision by the Secretary of Agriculture to ensure 
     the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, State animal 
     health agencies, and agricultural producers are provided 
     funds necessary to implement a national animal identification 
     program; and

resolution S. Con. Res. 95, setting forth the congressional budget for 
the United States Government for fiscal year 2005 and including the

       At the end of the resolution, insert the following:

     SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING TRIBAL COLLEGES AND 
                   UNIVERSITIES.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
       (1) American Indians from 250 federally recognized tribes 
     nationwide attend tribal colleges and universities, a 
     majority of whom are first-generation college students.
       (2) Tribal colleges and universities are located in some of 
     the most isolated and impoverished areas in the Nation, yet 
     they are the Nation's most poorly funded institutions of 
     higher education. While the Tribally Controlled College or 
     University Assistance Act, or ``Tribal College Act'' provides 
     funding based solely on Indian students, the colleges have 
     open enrollment policies providing access to postsecondary 
     education opportunities to all interested students, about 20 
     percent of whom are non-Indian. With rare exception, tribal 
     colleges and universities do not receive operating funds from 
     the States for these non-Indian State resident students. Yet, 
     if these same students attended any other public institutions 
     in their States, the State would provide basic operating 
     funds to the institution.
       (3) While Congress has been increasing annual 
     appropriations for tribal colleges in recent years, the 
     President's fiscal year 2005 budget recommends a $5,500,000 
     decrease in institutional operating funds. This represents 
     the third consecutive year that the President's budget 
     proposed decreases that Congress must restore.
       (4) Because of congressional budget restorations, the 
     tribal colleges funded through titles I and II of the 
     Tribally Controlled College or University Assistance Act are 
     within $19,000,000 of full funding at their authorized level.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) this resolution recognizes the funding challenges faced 
     by tribal colleges and universities and assumes that priority 
     consideration will be provided to them through funding of the 
     Tribally Controlled College or University Assistance Act, the 
     Equity in Educational Land Grant Status Act, title III of the 
     Higher Education Act, and the National Science Foundation 
     Tribal College Program; and
       (2) such priority consideration reflects the intent of 
     Congress to continue to work toward statutory Federal funding 
     authorization goals for tribal colleges and universities.
                                 ______

     SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON IRAQ FOOD PURCHASES.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States and its coalition partners liberated 
     the people of Iraq from the oppressive regime of Saddam 
     Hussein.
       (2) The United States and its coalition partners continue 
     to provide the resources for the reconstruction and 
     development of Iraq.
       (3) The people of Iraq have long relied on the United 
     Nations Oil for Food Programme for their annual food 
     supplies.
       (4) The United Nations Oil for Food Programme is now 
     terminated, and the Iraq Coalition Provisional Authority is 
     purchasing buffer stocks to help transition Iraq to a 
     commercial market.
       (5) We welcome additional U.N. and international support 
     for the Iraq reconstruction effort, however, until countries 
     provide physical or financial resources we feel that food and 
     rebuilding contract should be consistent and limited to 
     coalition member.
       (6) Additional tenders for rice and other commodities are 
     imminent as buffer stocks are being created.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the budgetary totals in this resolution assume that only 
     countries that have contributed resources to liberate the 
     people of Iraq and assisted in Iraq reconstruction efforts

     SEC. 5__. SENSE OF THE SENATE SUPPORTING FUNDING RESTORATION 
                   FOR AGRICULTURE RESEARCH AND EXTENSION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) funding for 33 programs administered by the Cooperative 
     State Research, Education, and Extension Service of the 
     Department of Agriculture were each reduced by 10 percent in 
     the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug 
     Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2004 
     (118 Stat. 9);
       (2) those cuts are already hurting a wide range of proven 
     programs that help people, communities, and businesses;
       (3) the cuts have put at risk important advances made in 
     all 50 States and United States territories, including--
       (A) combating obesity through programs such as the Expanded 
     Food and Nutrition Education Program;
       (B) expanding environmentally-minded pest management 
     programs;
       (C) ensuring food safety; and

     agricultural practices;
       (4) the National Research Initiative is the flagship 
     competitive grants program funded through the Cooperative 
     State Research, Education, and Extension Service;
       (5) because of limited funding the Service is able to fund 
     only a small fraction of the meritorious research proposals 
     that the Service receives under the National Research 
     Initiative program; and
       (6) base funding at the Service that supports the research 
     infrastructure has fallen steadily over the past decade.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that levels in this concurrent resolution assume that in 
     making appropriations and revenue decisions, the Senate 
     supports--
       (1) the restoration of the 33 accounts of the Cooperative 
     State Research, Education, and Extension Service;

     Initiative; and
       (3) the fiscal year 2005 funding of competitive research 
     programs of the Cooperative State Research, Education, and 
     Extension Service in an amount that is adequate to--
       (A) fight obesity and stave off chronic diseases;
       (B) combat insects and animal and plant diseases;

     opportunities for producers; and

       (1) animal identification is important for operational 
     management, herd health, and increased trade opportunities;
       (2) animal identification is a critical component of the

     is critical to an effective response to an imminent threat to 
     animal health or food safety.

     that the levels in this concurrent resolution assume that in 
     making appropriations and revenue decisions, the Senate 
     supports--

     carry out the implementation of the plan;

                   GLOBAL FUND TO FIGHT AIDS, TUBERCULOSIS, AND 
                   MALARIA.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) the United States--
       (A) helped establish The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, 
     Tuberculosis, and Malaria (referred to in this section as the 
     ``Fund'');
       (B) provided its first donation; and
       (C) provides leadership to the Fund under Fund Board 
     Chairman Tommy Thompson, Secretary of the Department of 
     Health and Human Services;
       (2) as a complement to the President's historic 15-country 
     AIDS initiative, the Fund provides resources to fight AIDS, 
     tuberculosis, malaria, and related diseases around the world;
       (3) section 202 of the United States Leadership Against 
     HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act of 2004 (22 U.S.C. 
     7622) authorizes contributions to the Fund to the extent that 
     United States contributions do not exceed 33 percent of all 
     contributions to the Fund, allowing the United States to 
     contribute $1 for every $2 contributed by other sources.
       (4) during fiscal years 2001 through 2003, the United 
     States provided $623,000,000 of the total contributions of 
     $1,900,000,000 to the Fund, which represents approximately 
     \1/3\ of total contributions to the Fund;
       (5) Congress has appropriated $547,000,000 to the Fund for 
     fiscal year 2004, which has been matched by confirmed pledges 
     of $994,000,000, and is slightly more than \1/3\ of total 
     pledges, with additional pledges expected; and
       (6) over the life of the Fund, Congress has appropriated 
     sufficient amounts to match contributions from other sources 
     to The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria 
     on a 1-to-2 basis; and
       (7) transparency and accountability are critical to Fund 
     grant-making and the U.S. should work with foreign government 
     and international organizations to support the Fund efforts 
     to use its contributions most effectively.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that this concurrent resolution and subsequent appropriations 
     acts should provide sufficient funds to continue matching 
     contributions from other sources to The Global Fund to Fight 
     AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria on a 1-to-2 basis.

     SEC.  . SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING CHILD NUTRITION 
                   FUNDING.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that
       (1) Federal child nutrition programs have long played a 
     critical role in providing children in the United States with 
     quality nutrition from birth through secondary school;
       (2) recognizing the value--of these benefits to children in 
     the United States, Congress has an enduring tradition of 
     bipartisan support for these programs;
       (3) children in the United States are increasingly at 
     nutritional risk due to poor dietary habits, lack of access 
     to nutritious foods, and obesity and diet-related diseases 
     associated with poor dietary intake;
       (4) many children in the United States who would benefit 
     from Federal child nutrition programs do not receive benefits 
     due to financial or administrative barriers; and
       (5) Federal child nutrition programs are expected to be 
     reauthorized in the 108th Congress.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the levels in this concurrent resolution assume that in 
     making appropriations and revenue decisions, the Senate 
     supports the retention in the conference report for this 
     concurrent resolution of the additional funds provided in 
     this concurrent resolution for the reauthorization of Federal 
     child nutrition programs.

     timely payment of uniform and adequate compensation to 
     covered employees suffering from occupational illnesses 
     incurred during their work for the Department of Energy.
       (2) The Department of Labor is responsible for implementing 
     the provisions under subtitle B of the EEOICPA, relating to 
     claims for radiation related cancers, beryllium disease, and 
     silicosis. The Department of Labor has, within its area of 
     responsibility, processed over 95 percent of the 52,000 
     claims it has received, and is processing these claims in an 
     average of 73 days.
       (3) As of the date of enactment of this resolution, the 
     Department of Health and Human Services has not promulgated 
     the regulations required under section 3626 of the EEOICPA 
     for allowing claimants to petition to be members of the 
     Special Exposure Cohort. Special Exposure Cohorts provide a 
     presumption in favor of the claimant for radiation related 
     cancers if--
       (A) it is not feasible to estimate radiation dose with 
     sufficient accuracy; and
       (B) there is a reasonable likelihood that the health of the 
     class of workers may have been endangered.
       (4) The Department of Energy, which is responsible for 
     implementing subtitle D of the EEOICPA, relating to 
     occupational illness caused by exposure to toxic substances 
     at Department of Energy facilities, finalized its regulations 
     on August 14, 2002. The Department of Energy has processed 1 
     percent of the 22,000 claims received through the Department 
     of Energy physicians panels since its regulations were made 
     final.
       (5) The Department of Energy has no willing payor for up to 
     50 percent of the claims that its physicians panels determine 
     to be related to exposure to a toxic substance at the 
     Department of Energy. As a consequence, many claimants with a 
     positive determination from the physicians panel will be 
     denied benefits. Many States, including Alaska, Colorado, 
     Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, New Mexico, Idaho, and 
     Nevada, may not have a willing payor.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) claims for occupational illness, which are determined 
     to be caused by exposure to toxic substances at Department of 
     Energy facilities under subtitle D of the EEOICPA, should be 
     promptly, equitably, and efficiently compensated;
       (2) administrative and technical changes should be made to 
     the EEOICPA to--
       (A) improve claims processing and review by physicians 
     panels to ensure cost-effective and efficient consideration 
     and determination of workers' claims;
       (B) provide for membership in additional special exposure 
     cohorts; and
       (C) address eligibility issues at facilities with residual 
     radiation; and
       (3) the President and Congress should work together at the 
     earliest opportunity to develop a plan that effectively 
     resolves the issue of a lack of a willing payor for many 
     claims that are determined under subtitle D of the EEOICPA to 
     be related to exposure to a toxic substance at Department of 
     Energy facilities.

       It is the sense of the Senate that if tax relief measures 
     are passed in accordance with the assumptions in this 
     resolution in this session of Congress, such legislation 
     should include--
       (1) tax and other financial incentives, similar to those 
     included in the New Homestead Act (S. 602), to help rural 
     communities fight the economic decimation caused by chronic 
     out-migration by giving such communities the tools they need 
     to attract individuals to live and work, or to start and grow 
     a business, in such rural areas, and
       (2) revenue provisions which fully offset the cost of such 
     tax and other financial incentives.
