     SEC. ____. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING UNWARRANTED TAXPAYER 
                   FUNDED BONUSES.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
       (1) Taxpayers are outraged that American International 
     Group Inc. (AIG), the insurer bailed out with $182.5 billion 
     from the United States Government, awarded $165 million of 
     bonuses to the Financial Products unit, which nearly 
     bankrupted the company. The bonuses were paid less than 2 
     weeks after AIG reported a $61.7 billion loss for the fourth 
     quarter, the largest in United States corporate history.
       (2) The $165 million of bonuses paid to AIG employees is 
     dwarfed by the billions of dollars of bonuses paid out to 
     Federal contractors and senior government officials 
     responsible for projects and programs that were over budget 
     or failed to meet basic performance requirements.
       (3) The Department of Defense paid $8 billion in 
     unwarranted bonuses to contractors for weapons programs that 
     had severe cost overruns, performance problems, and delays 
     between 1999 and 2004.
       (4) The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services pays 
     more than $312 million per year in quality-of-care bonuses to 
     nursing homes that provide below average care and have past 
     violations of health-and-safety regulations.
       (5) The National Aeronautics and Space Administration 
     (NASA) paid Boeing a bonus of $425.3 million for work on the 
     space station that ran 8 years late and cost more than twice 
     what was expected. Boeing estimates that it will incur an 
     additional $76 million in overruns by the time the contract 
     is completed.
       (6) NASA paid Raytheon a $103.2 million bonus for the Earth 
     Observing System Data and Information System despite the 
     project costing $430 million more and taking 2 years longer 
     to complete than expected.
       (7) Lockheed collected a $17 million bonus from NASA for 
     the Landsat-7 satellite even though the project was delayed 9 
     months even and the costs rose 20 percent to $409.6 million.
       (8) The Department of Commerce selected Northrop Grumman in 
     2002 to build a $6.5 billion satellite system that would 
     conduct both weather surveillance and military reconnaissance 
     that was supposed to save the Federal Government $1.6 
     billion. The first launch was scheduled for 2008 but hasn't 
     happened, the project's budget has doubled to $13.1 billion, 
     and Northrop's performance has been deemed unsatisfactory. 
     Yet, from 2002 to 2005, the Federal Government awarded 
     Northrop $123 million worth of bonuses.
       (9) In 2007, Harris Corp. developed a handheld device to 
     collect data for the 2010 Census that failed to work properly 
     and was $198 million over budget. Despite this costly failure 
     that could cause delays in preparing for the nationwide head 
     count, the Department of Commerce's Census Bureau awarded 
     Harris $14.2 million in bonuses.
       (10) The Federal National Mortgage Association, a 
     government sponsored mortgage enterprise better known as 
     Fannie Mae, suffered $59 billion in losses last year and has 
     requested $15 billion in taxpayer assistance. Yet it plans to 
     pay $4.4 million or more in bonuses to its top executives. 
     Fannie Mae's Chief Operating Officer is expected to receive a 
     $1.3 million bonus, the Deputy Chief Financial Officer is 
     slated for $1.1 million, and 2 executive vice presidents are 
     each in line for $1 million each.

       (11) In 2006, more than $3.8 million in bonuses were paid 
     out to senior officials at the Department of Veterans Affairs 
     months after a $1 billion budget shortfall threatened to 
     imperil the care of thousands of injured veterans returning 
     from combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. Among those receiving 
     bonuses were some who crafted the VA's flawed budget that was 
     based on misleading accounting and the Deputy Undersecretary 
     for Benefits, who helped manage a disability claims system 
     that had a backlog of cases and delays averaging 177 days in 
     getting benefits to injured veterans. The bonuses were 
     awarded after Federal Government investigators had determined 
     the VA repeatedly miscalculated, if not deliberately misled, 
     taxpayers with questionable budgeting.
       (12) In 2006, the Department of Treasury abandoned a $14.7 
     million computer project intended to help detect terrorist 
     money laundering. The failed project was 65 percent over its 
     original budget, but the vendor, Electronic Data Systems 
     Corp., was awarded a $638,126 bonus.
       (13) The repair and restart a Tennessee Valley Authority 
     (TVA) nuclear reactor cost $90 million more than what the 
     Federal utility budgeted, but TVA paid the primary 
     contractors on the project, Bechtel Power Corp. and Stone and 
     Webster Construction Inc., an extra $42 million in bonuses 
     and other fees last year.
       (14) In 2008, the San Diego Unified school district spent 
     more than $3 million in Federal funding for low-income 
     students, child nutrition, and other Department of Education 
     programs on bonuses for employees leaving the school 
     district.
       (15) In 2008, the Department of Education paid nearly $1.7 
     million in bonuses to Denver Public Schools principals and 
     assistant principals, including those at some of the lowest-
     performing schools in the city and 6 schools that have been 
     closed because of poor performance.
       (16) The United States Postal Service is expecting a 
     deficit of $6 billion in 2009, following deficits of $2.8 
     billion in 2008 and $5.1 billion in 2007 and, as a result, 
     may increase the price of first-class mail stamps by 2 cents 
     and end mail delivery 1 day a week. The Postmaster General, 
     however, was paid a $135,000 bonus in 2008.
       (17) In 2008, 3 top executives in the Office of the 
     Inspector General of the Department of Defense each received 
     a cash bonus of $30,000 for outstanding leadership even 
     though their agency has a history of weak management and 
     strained relations between employees and supervisors.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that Congress and the President should enact legislation that 
     would save the taxpayers billions of dollars every year by--
       (1) ensuring that all new contracts using award fees and 
     bonuses link such fees and bonuses to acquisition outcomes, 
     which should be defined in terms of program cost, schedule, 
     performance, and outcome;
       (2) ensuring that no award fee or bonus is paid for 
     contractor performance that is judged to be below 
     satisfactory performance or performance that does not meet 
     the basic requirements of the contract or significantly 
     exceeds the original cost estimate;
       (3) providing that all award fees and bonuses are posted on 
     a public website which would include an itemized, searchable 
     databases of such award fees and bonuses, the amount of each, 
     to whom the award fees and bonuses were paid, the reasons for 
     the awards, and the name of the Department and agency that 
     paid each such award;
       (4) prohibiting bonuses from being paid to agency and 
     department managers and grant recipients overseeing a program 
     with performance or over budget costs; and
       (5) directing the bipartisan congressional sunset 
     commission established via a deficit-neutral reserve fund 
     under section 212 of the fiscal year 2010 concurrent budget 
     resolution to examine the number and total cost of 
     unwarranted bonuses and award fees paid to contractors and 
     Federal Government executives as part of the panel's review 
     of nonperforming government programs.

     SEC. ___. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING PERFORMANCE MEASURES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The fiscal year 2010 budget funds all Federal 
     Government functions, including every program administered by 
     each Federal department or agency across the country.
       (2) The Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance lists over 
     1,800 Federal Government subsidy programs across 63 
     departments and agencies.
       (3) The number of Federal Government subsidy programs has 
     grown by 54 percent since 1990.
       (4) President Barack Obama stated, ``The Federal Government 
     has an overriding obligation to American taxpayers. It should 
     perform its functions efficiently and effectively while 
     ensuring that its actions result in the best value for the 
     taxpayers.''.
       (5) President Barack Obama has proposed opening up the 
     insular performance measurement process to the public, 
     Congress, and outside experts.
       (6) President Barack Obama has proposed creating the 
     position of Chief Performance Officer to improve results and 
     outcomes for Federal Government programs while eliminating 
     waste and inefficiency.
       (7) President Barack Obama has proposed working with 
     Congress to address Federal Government efficiency by creating 
     performance teams to reform programs, replacing existing 
     management at Federal agencies, demanding improvement action 
     plans, and cutting program budgets or eliminating programs 
     entirely.
       (8) In national polls, less than \1/3\, or only 27 percent, 
     of Americans gave a positive rating of the performance of 
     Federal departments and agencies.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) research-based, quantifiable performance measures are 
     necessary to evaluate program effectiveness;
       (2) each Federal department and agency should develop 
     performance measures for all programs receiving Federal 
     assistance under its jurisdiction; and
       (3) the performance measures developed under paragraph (2) 
     should--
       (A) to the maximum extent practicable, draw on research-
     based, quantitative data;
       (B) take into account program purpose and program design;
       (C) include criteria to evaluate the cost effectiveness of 
     programs;
       (D) include criteria to evaluate the administration and 
     management of programs; and
       (E) include criteria to evaluate oversight and 
     accountability of recipients of assistance under such 
     programs.

  SA 781. Mr. COBURN submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by 
him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 13, setting forth the 
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 
2010, revising the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal year 2009, 
and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 
2011 through 2014; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON COMPETITIVE BIDDING.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
       (1) Last year, then-candidate Barack Obama stated that 
     ``for too long, Washington politicians have wasted billions 
     on no-bid contracts'' and promised to ``end abusive no-bid 
     contracts.'' As part of his ``Blueprint for Change,'' 
     candidate Obama pledged to ``ensure that Federal contracts 
     over $25,000 are competitively bid''.
       (2) According to the most recent figures compiled by the 
     Federal Government, Federal agencies annually award over 
     $1,000,000,000,000 in financial assistance alone, with 
     $496,000,000,000 in grants awarded in fiscal year 2008 and 
     $518,000,000,000 in contracts and $29,000,000,000 in direct 
     loans awarded in fiscal year 2007.
       (3) A non-competitive grant or contract is Federal funding 
     that is provided directly to an entity, bypassing the 
     standard process for awarding Federal funding in which 
     competing bids are solicited in order to select the most 
     cost-efficient and qualified entity to perform a service.
       (4) The volume of non-competitive contracts awarded using 
     Federal funds has risen from $49,000,000,000 in 2000 to 
     $134,000,000,000 in 2008, an increase of 176 percent.
       (5) The Senate voted 97 to zero in support of competitive 
     bidding for contracts and grants in a Senate-passed amendment 
     to H.R. 1, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 
     (Public Law 111-5).
       (6) The competitive process helps ensure that the Federal 
     Government receives the highest-quality products for the 
     least amount of money.
       (7) This resolution includes a deficit-neutral reserve fund 
     for Defense acquisition and contracting reform and a deficit-
     neutral reserve fund for a comprehensive investigation into 
     the current financial crisis.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that all Senators support President Obama's pledge to end 
     abusive no-bid contracts by requiring all Federal contracts 
     to be competitively bid.
                                 ______

     SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE TO INCREASE TRANSPARENCY OF THE 
                   FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) on January 28, 2009, Doug Elmendorf, the Director of 
     the Congressional Budget Office, provided testimony to the 
     Committee on the Budget of the Senate, that the Board of 
     Governors of the Federal Reserve System (in this section 
     referred to as the ``Board'') has committed nearly 
     $2,300,000,000,000, more than 3 times the cost of the 
     Troubled Asset Relief Program, to programs it created to deal 
     with the financial crisis, with the potential for such 
     taxpayer assistance to grow to at least $4,500,000,000,000;
       (2) on March 7, 2009, Bloomberg News reported that 
     ``Government loans, spending or guarantees to rescue the 
     country's financial system total more than $11.7 trillion 
     since the international credit crisis began in August 
     2007.'';
       (3) unlike the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the American 
     public does not know the names of the recipients of more than 
     $2,200,000,000,000 in taxpayer assistance provided by the 
     Board since the beginning of the current United States 
     financial crisis;
       (4) while Congress has spent numerous hours of debate on 
     the merits of Federal investments totaling less than 
     $1,000,000,000, not one significant debate has been held on 
     the floor of the Senate or the House of Representatives in 
     Congress on whether the Board should be exposing American 
     taxpayers to more than $2,200,000,000,000 in risk;
       (5) on March 3, 2009, Chairman of the Board, Ben Bernanke, 
     told the Committee on the Budget of the Senate that since the 
     start of the financial crisis, the Board had provided 
     assistance to ``hundreds and hundreds of banks,'' but would 
     not name the banks, how much assistance they have received, 
     what they are doing with the taxpayer assistance, or what the 
     specific terms of the assistance were;
       (6) the American people have a right to know to whom the 
     Board is lending over $2,200,000,000,000 taxpayer dollars, 
     how much they are receiving, and what the Board is asking in 
     return for such money;
       (7) since the creation of the Federal Reserve System in 
     1913, there has not been a single, comprehensive independent 
     audit of the Federal Reserve System or the Federal Reserve 
     banks; and

[[Page 9367]]

       (8) during the worst financial crisis in our nation's 
     history since the Great Depression, a crisis which has led to 
     the largest taxpayer bailout ever, the Board has a 
     responsibility to the American people to explain what they 
     are doing with their hard-earned taxpayer dollars.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) the Comptroller General of the United States should be 
     provided with the resources and authority necessary to 
     conduct a comprehensive audit of the Board and the Federal 
     reserve banks; and
       (2) the Board should publish on its website, with respect 
     to all lending and financial assistance facilities it has 
     created to address the financial crisis since March 24, 
     2008--
