     subcontract made with funds authorized under this title may 
     be awarded for the procurement of an article, material, or 
     supply produced or manufactured in a foreign country whose 
     government unfairly maintains in government procurement a 
     significant and persistent pattern or practice of 
     discrimination against United States products or services 
     which results in identifiable harms to United States 
     businesses, as identified by the President pursuant to 
     subsection (g)(1)(A) of section 305 of the Trade Agreements 
     Act of 1979 (19 U.S.C. 2515(g)(1)(A)). Any such determination

            TITLE II--ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM AMENDMENTS

     SEC. 201. EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.

       (a) Short Title.--This title may be cited as the ``Emerging 
     Technologies and Advanced Technology Program Amendments Act 
     of 1991''.
       (b) Findings and Purposes.--(1) The Congress finds that--
       (A) technological innovation and its profitable inclusion 
     in commercial products are critical components of the ability 
     of the United States to raise the living standards of 
     Americans and to compete in world markets;
       (B) maintaining viable United States-based high technology 
     industries is vital to both the national security and the 
     economic well-being of the United States;
       (C) the Department of Commerce has reported that the United 
     States is losing or losing badly, relative to Japan and 
     Europe, in many important emerging technologies and risks 
     losing much of the $350,000,000,000 United States market and 
     $1,000,000,000,000 world market expected to develop by the 
     year 2000 for products based on emerging technologies;
       (D) it is in the national interest for the Federal 
     Government to encourage and, in selected cases, provide 
     limited financial assistance to industry-led private sector 
     efforts to increase research and development in economically 
     critical areas of technology;
       (E) joint ventures are a particularly effective and 
     appropriate way to pool resources to conduct research that no 
     single company is likely to undertake but which will create 
     new generic technologies that will benefit an entire industry 
     and the welfare of the Nation;
       (F) it is vital that industry within the United States 
     attain a leadership role and capability in development, 
     design, and manufacturing in fields such as high-resolution 
     information systems, advanced manufacturing, and advanced 
     materials; and
       (G) the Advanced Technology Program, established under 
     section 28 of the National Institute of Standards and 
     Technology Act (15 U.S.C. 278n), is the appropriate vehicle 
     for the United States Government to provide limited 
     assistance to joint development within the United States of 
     new high technology capabilities in fields such as high-
     resolution information systems, advanced manufacturing 
     technology, and advanced materials, and can help encourage 
     United States industry to work together on problems of mutual 
     concern.
       (2) The purposes of this section are--
       (A) to strengthen the Advanced Technology Program created 
     under section 28 of the National Institute of Standards and 
     Technology Act (15 U.S.C. 278n), and to provide improved 
     guidelines for the allocation of Advanced Technology Program 
     funds appropriated under the authorizations contained in 
     section 105 of this Act;
       (B) to promote and assist in the development of advanced 
     technologies and the generic application of such technologies 
     to civilian products, processes, and services;
       (C) to improve the competitive position of United States 
     industry by supporting industry-led research and development 
     projects in areas of emerging technology which have 
     substantial potential to advance the economic well-being and 
     national security of the United States, such as high-
     resolution information systems, advanced manufacturing 
     technology, and advanced materials; and
       (D) to support projects that range from idea exploration to 
     prototype development and address long-term, high-risk areas 
     of technological research, development, and application that 
     are not otherwise being adequately developed by the private 
     sector, but are likely to yield important benefits to the 
     Nation.
       (c) Advanced Technology Program.--(1) Section 28(a) of the 
     National Institute of Standards and Technology Act (15 U.S.C. 
     278n(a)), is amended by adding at the end the following new

     SEC. 401. NATIONAL COMMISSION ON REDUCING CAPITAL COSTS FOR 
                   EMERGING TECHNOLOGY.

       (a) Establishment and Purpose.--There is established a 
     National Commission on Re-

[[Page 16]]

     ducing Capital Costs for Emerging Technology (hereafter in 
     this section referred to as the ``Commission''), for the 
     purpose of developing recommendations to increase the 
     competitiveness of United States industry by encouraging 
     investments in research, the development of new process and 
     product technologies, and the production of those 
     technologies.
       (b) Issues.--The function of the Commission shall be to 
     address the following issues:
       (1) How has the overall cost of capital paid by United 
     States companies differed during the past decade from that 
     paid by companies in other industrial economies such as 
     Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom?
       (2) To what extent has the cost of capital faced by 
     technology companies differed from the overall cost of 
     capital in each of these nations during the same period?
       (3) To what extent do high capital costs in general inhibit 
     investment in projects with long-term payoffs, such as the 
     development and commercialization of new technology?
       (4) To what extent does the structure of the financial 
     services industry in the United States affect the flow of 
     capital to advanced technology investment, and to what extent 
     do current practices in the equity markets raise the cost of 
     capital and inhibit the availability of capital to fund 
     research and development, purchase advanced manufacturing 
     equipment, and fund other investments necessary to 
     commercialize advanced technology?
       (5) In what ways do Government regulations influence the 
     cost of capital in the United States?
       (6) To what extent have national differences in capital 
     costs facilitated the foreign acquisition of technology-based 
     United States companies?
       (7) What macroeconomic and other policies would promote 
     greater investment in advanced manufacturing techniques, in 
     research and development, and in other activities necessary 
     to commercialize and produce new technologies?
       (8) What specific policies should the Federal Government 
     follow in order to reduce the cost of capital for United 
     States companies to levels that are near parity with those 
     faced by the Nation's principal trading partners?
       (c) Membership.--(1) The Commission shall be composed of 9 
     members who are eminent in such fields as advanced 
     technology, manufacturing, finance, and international 
     economics and who are appointed as follows:
       (A) 3 individuals appointed by the President, one of whom

     of advanced technology-based products be based on performance 
     specifications rather than on product specifications? Should 
     Federal Government procurement first look to the commercial 
     markets for products that will meet performance 
     specifications before purchasing a unique product that has to 
     be developed?

     Baldrige National Quality Award?
       (5) Should Federal Government procurement practices include 
     cooperative efforts between the supplier and the Federal 
     entity to develop products so as to be more easily marketed 
     on a commercial basis? Should a program for the exchange of 
     technical personnel to foster innovation in product 
     development be part of such practices?
       (6) To what extent, if any, should Federal Government 
     documents specify standards that are beneficial to domestic 
     suppliers, aid the compatibility of advanced technologies, 
     and speed the commercial acceptance of those technologies, 
     and what would be the role of the Institute in such an 
     effort?
       (7) Should Federal Government procurement be linked to the 
     Advanced Technology Program and to technology transfer 
     activities so that specification development can incorporate 
     the latest technical advances available?
       (8) To what extent should worldwide, state of the art 
     technology be required in Federal Government procurement?

                                                 January 28, 1992.

                                  Clerk, House of Representatives.

President taking the Chair to the right of the Speaker.
  Whereupon, pursuant to House Concurrent Resolution 267, the SPEAKER 
called the joint session of the two Houses to order.
  The SPEAKER announced the appointment of Messrs. Gephardt, Bonior, 
Hoyer, Fazio, Brooks, Michel, Gingrich, Lewis of California, Edwards of 
Oklahoma, and Archer as members of the Committee on the part of the

Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, who entered the Hall of the 
House and took seats assigned to them.
  The Doorkeeper announced the Members of the President's Cabinet, who

  The President of the United States at 9 o'clock and 2 minutes p.m., 
escorted by the committees of the two Houses, entered the Hall of the 
House and, at the Clerk's desk, delivered the following message:

  Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, distinguished Members of Congress, honored 
guests, and fellow citizens: Thank you very much for that warm 
reception. You know, with the big buildup this address has had, I wanted 
to make sure it would be a big hit, but I couldn't convince Barbara to 
deliver it for me.
  I see the Speaker and the Vice President are laughing. They saw what I 
did in Japan and they are just happy they are sitting behind me.
  I mean to speak tonight of big things; of big changes and the promises 
they hold, and of some big problems and how together we can solve them 
and move our country forward as the undisputed leader of the age.
  We gather tonight at a dramatic and deeply promising time in our 
history, and in the history of man on earth.
  For in the past twelve months the world has known changes of almost 
biblical proportions. And even now, months after the failed coup that 
doomed a failed system, I am not sure we have absorbed the full impact, 
the full import of what happened. But communism died this year.
  Even as President, with the most fascinating possible vantage point, 
there were times when I was so busy managing progress and helping to 
lead change, that I didn't always show the joy that was in my heart.
  But the biggest thing that has happened in the world in my life--in 
our lives--is this: By the grace of God, America won the Cold War.
  I mean to speak this evening of the changes that can take place in our 
country now that we can stop making the sacrifices we had to make when 
we had an avowed enemy that was a Superpower. Now we can look homeward 
even more, and move to set right what needs to be set right.
  I will speak of those things. But let me tell you something I've been 
thinking these past few months. It's a kind of rollcall of honor. For 
the Cold War didn't ``end''--it was won.
  And I think of those who won it, in places like Korea, and Vietnam. 
And some of them didn't come back. Back then they were heroes, but this 
year they were: victors.
  The long rollcall--all the G.I. Joes and Janes, all the ones who 
fought faithfully for freedom, who hit the ground and sucked the dust 
and knew their share of horror.
  This may seem frivolous--I don't mean it so--but it's moving to me how 
the world saw them.
  The world saw not only their special valor but their special style--
their rambunctious, optimistic bravery, their do-or-die unity unhampered 
by class or race or region. What a group we've put forth, for 
generations now--from the ones who wrote ``Kilroy was Here'' on the 
walls of German stalags, to those who left signs in the Iraqi desert 
that said, ``I Saw Elvis.'' What a group of kids we've sent out into the 
world.
  And there's another to be singled out--though it may seem inelegant. I 
mean a mass of people called The American Taxpayer. No one ever thinks 
to thank the people who pay a country's bills, or an alliance's bills. 
But for half a century now the American people have shouldered the 
burden, and paid taxes that were higher than they would have been to 
support a defense that was bigger than it would have been if imperial 
communism had never existed.
  But it did.
  It doesn't anymore.
  And here is a fact I wouldn't mind the world acknowledging: The 
American taxpayer bore the brunt of the burden, and deserves a hunk of 
the glory.
  And so, now, for the first time in 35 years, our strategic bombers 
stand down. No longer are they on 'round-the-clock alert. Tomorrow our 
children will go to school and study history and how plants grow. And 
they won't have, as my children did, air raid drills in which they 
crawl under their desks and cover their heads in case of nuclear war. 
My grandchildren don't have to do that, and won't have the bad dreams

[[Page 21]]

children had once, in decades past. There are still threats. But the 
long, drawn out dread is over.
  A year ago tonight I spoke to you at a moment of high peril. American 
forces has just unleashed Operation Desert Storm. And after forty days 
in the desert skies, and four days on the ground, the men and women of 
America's Armed Forces, and our allies, accomplished the goals that I 
declared, and that you endorsed: We liberated Kuwait.
  Soon after, the Arab world and Israel sat down to talk seriously, and 
comprehensively, about peace--an historic first. And soon after that, 
at Christmas, the last American hostages came home. Our policies were 
vindicated.
  Much good can come from the prudent use of power. And much good can 
come of this: A world once divided into two armed camps now recognizes 
one sole and pre-eminent power: the United States of America.
  And they regard this with no dread. For the world trusts us with 
power--and the world is right. They trust us to be fair, and 
restrained, they trust us to be on the side of decency. They trust us 
to do what's right.
  And I use those words advisedly. A few days after the war began I 
received a telegram from Joanne Speicher, the wife of the first pilot 
killed in the Gulf, Lt. Commander Scott Speicher. Even in her grief she 
wanted me to know that some day, when her children were old enough, she 
would tell them ``* * * that their father went away to war because it 
was the right thing to do.''
  She said it all. It was the right thing to do.
  And we did it together. There were honest differences right here, in 
this Chamber. But when the war began, you put partisanship aside, and 
supported our troops.
  This is still a time for pride--but this is no time to boast. For 
problems face us, and we must stand together once again and solve 
them--and not let our country down.
  Two years ago I began planning cuts in military spending that 
reflected the changes of the new era. But now, this year, with imperial 
communism gone, that process can be accelerated.
  Tonight I can tell you of dramatic changes in our strategic nuclear 
force. These are actions we are taking on our own--because they are the 
right thing to do.
  After completing 20 planes for which we have begun procurement, we 
will shut down further production of the B-2 bomber. We will cancel the 
small I.C.B.M. program. We will cease production of new warheads for 
our sea-based ballistic missiles. We will stop all new production of 
the Peacekeeper missile. And we will not purchase any more advanced 
cruise missiles.
  This weekend I will meet at Camp David with Boris Yeltsin of the 
Russian Federation. I have informed President Yeltsin that if the 
Commonwealth--the former Soviet Union--will eliminate all land-based 
multiple warhead ballistic missiles, I will do the following:
  We will eliminate all Peacekeeper missiles. We will reduce the number 
of warheads on Minuteman missiles to one, and reduce the number of 
warheads on our sea-based missiles by about one-third. And we will 
convert a substantial portion of our strategic bombers to primarily 
conventional use.
  President Yeltsin's early response has been very positive, and I 
expect our talks at Camp David to be fruitful.
  I want you to know that for half a century, American presidents have 
longed to make such decisions and say such words. But even in the midst 
of celebration, we must keep caution as a friend.
  For the world is still a dangerous place. Only the dead have seen the 
end of conflict. And though yesterday's challenges are behind us, 
tomorrow's are being born.
  The Secretary of Defense recommended these cuts after consultation 
with the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And I make them with confidence. But do 
not misunderstand me:
  The reductions I have approved will save us an additional 50 billion 
dollars over the next five years. By 1997 we will have cut defense by 
30 percent since I took office. These cuts are deep, and you must know 
my resolve: This deep, and no deeper.
  To do less would be insensible to progress--but to do more would be 
ignorant of history.
  We must not go back to the days of ``the hollow army''. We cannot 
repeat the mistakes made twice in this century, when armistice was 
followed by recklessness, and defense was purged as if the world were 
permanently safe.
  I remind you this evening that I have asked for your support in 
funding a program to protect our country from limited nuclear missile 
attack. We must have this protection because too many people in too 
many countries have access to nuclear arms, and I urge you again to 
pass the Strategic Defense Initiative, SDI.
  There are those who say that now we can turn away from the world, 
that we have no special role, no special place.
  But we are the United States of America, the leader of the west that 
has become the leader of the world, and as long as I am President I 
will continue to lead in support of freedom everywhere--not out of 
arrogance, not out of altruism, but for the safety and security of our 
children.
  This is a fact: Strength in the pursuit of peace is no vice; 
isolationism in the pursuit of security is no virtue. Now to our 
troubles at home. They are not all economic, but the primary problem is 
our economy. There are some good signs: Inflation, that thief, is down; 
and interest rates are down. But unemployment is too high, some 
industries are in trouble, and growth is not what it should be.
  Let me tell you right from the start and right from the heart: I know 
we're in hard times, but I know something else: This will not stand.
  My friends in this Chamber: We can bring the same courage and sense 
of common purpose to the economy that we brought to Desert Storm. And 
we can defeat hard times together.
  I believe you will help. One reason is that you're patriots, and you 
want the best for your country. And I believe that in your hearts you 
want to put partisanship aside and get the job done--because it's the 
right thing to do.
  The power of America rests in a stirring but simple idea: That people 
will do great things if only you set them free.
  Well, we're going to set the economy free, for if this age of 
miracles and wonders has taught us anything, it's that if we can change 
the world, we can change America.
  We must encourage investment. We must make it easier for people to 
invest money and create new products, new industries, and new jobs. We 
must clear away the obstacles to growth--high taxes, high regulation, 
red tape, and yes, wasteful government spending.
  None of this will happen with a snap of the fingers--but it will 
happen. And the test of a plan isn't whether it's called new or 
dazzling. The American people aren't impressed by gimmicks; they're 
smarter on this score than all of us in this room. The only test of a 
plan is: Is it sound and will it work?

  We must have a short term plan to address our immediate needs, and 
heat up the economy.
  And then we need a longer term plan to keep the combustion going, and 
to guarantee our place in the world economy.
  There are certain things that a President can do without Congress--
And I am going to do them.
  I have this evening asked major cabinet departments and federal 
agencies to institute a 90-day moratorium on any new federal 
regulations that could hinder growth. In those 90 days major 
departments and agencies will carry out a top to bottom review of all 
regulations, old and new--to stop the ones that will hurt growth, and 
speed up those that will help growth.
  Further, for the untold number of hard working, responsible American 
workers and businessmen and women, who've been forced to go without 
needed bank loans: The banking credit crunch must end. I won't neglect 
my responsibility for sound regulations that serve the public good, but 
regulatory overkill must be stopped.
  And I have instructed our government regulators to stop it.
  I have directed cabinet departments, and federal agencies, to speed 
up progrowth expenditures as quickly as possible. This should put an 
extra 10 billion dollars into the economy in the next 6 months. And our 
new transportation bill provides more than 150 billion dollars for 
construction and maintenance projects that are vital to our growth and 
well being. That means jobs building roads, jobs building bridges, and 
jobs building railways.

[[Page 22]]

  I have this evening directed the Secretary of the Treasury to change 
the federal tax withholding tables. With this change, millions of 
Americans from whom the government withholds more than necessary can 
now choose to have the government withhold less from their paychecks. 
Something tells me a number of taxpayers may take us up on this one.
  This initiative could return about 25 billion dollars back into our 
economy over the next 12 months--money people can use to help pay for 
clothing, college, or to get a new car.
  Finally, working with the Federal Reserve, we will continue to 
support monetary policy that keeps both interest rates and inflation 
down.
  Now, these are the things I can do. And now, members of Congress, let 
me tell you what you can do for your country. You must pass the other 
elements of my plan to meet our economic needs.
  Everyone knows that investment spurs recovery.
  I am proposing this evening a change in the alternative minimum tax, 
and the creation of a new 15 percent investment tax allowance. This 
will encourage businesses to accelerate investment and bring people 
back to work.
  Real estate has led our economy out of almost all the tough times 
we've ever had. Once building starts, carpenters and plumbers work and 
people buy homes and take out mortgages.
  My plan would modify the Passive Loss Rule for active real estate 
developers. And it would make it easier for pension plans to purchase 
real estate.
  For those Americans who dream of buying a first home, but who can't 
quite afford it, my plan would allow first time home buyers to withdraw 
savings from I.R.A.'s without penalty--and provide a five thousand 
dollar tax credit for the first purchase of that home.
  And finally, my immediate plan calls on Congress to give crucial help 
to people who own a home, to everyone who has a business, or a farm, or 
a single investment.
  This time, at this hour, I cannot take No for an answer: You must cut 
the capital gains tax on the people of our country.
  Never has an issue been more demagogued by its opponents. But the 
demagogues are wrong, they are wrong, and they know it.
  Sixty percent of the people who benefit from lower capital gains have 
incomes under 50 thousand dollars. A cut in the capital gains tax 
increases jobs and helps just about everyone in our country.
  And so I am asking you to cut the capital gains tax to a maximum of 
15.4 percent.
  And I'll tell you, those of you who say, ``Oh no, someone who's 
comfortable may benefit from that.'' You kind of remind me of the old 
definition of the Puritan, who couldn't sleep at night worrying that 
somehow someone somewhere was out having a good time.
  The opponents of this measure--and those who've authored various so 
called soak-the-rich bills that are floating around this chamber--
should be reminded of something: When they aim at the big guy they 
usually hit the little guy. And maybe it's time that stopped.
  This then is my short term plan. Your part, members of Congress, 
requires enactment of these common sense proposals that will have a 
strong effect on the economy--without breaking the budget agreement and 
without raising tax rates.
  While my plan is being passed and kicking in, we've got to care for 
those in trouble today. I have provided up to 4.4 billion dollars in my 
budget to extend federal unemployment benefits. I ask for Congressional 
action right away, and I thank the committees.
  And let's be frank. Let me level with you.
  I know, and you know, that my plan is unveiled in a political season. 
I know, and you know, that everything I propose will be viewed by some 
in merely partisan terms. But I ask you to know what is in my heart: My 
aim is to increase our nation's good. I am doing what I think is right; 
I am proposing what I know will help.
  I pride myself that I am a prudent man. I believe that patience is a 
virtue, but I understand that politics is, for some, a game--and that 
sometimes the game is to stop all progress and then decry the lack of 
improvement.
  But let me tell you: far more important than my political future--and 
far more important than yours--is the well being of our country. 
Members of this Chamber are practical people, and I know you won't 
resent some practical advice: When people put their party's fortunes--
whatever the party, whatever side of the aisle--before the public good, 
they court defeat not only for their country, but for themselves. And 
they will certainly deserve it.
  I submit my plan tomorrow. I am asking you to pass it by March 20th. 
And I ask the American people to let you know they want this action by 
March 20th.
  From the day after that, if it must be: the battle is joined.
  And you know, when principle is at stake I relish a good fair fight.
  I said my plan has two parts, and it does. And it is the second part 
that is the heart of the matter. For it's not enough to get an 
immediate burst--we need long term improvement in our economic 
position.
  We all know that the key to our economic future is to ensure that 
America continues as the economic leader of the world. We have that in 
our power.
  Here, then, is my long term plan to guarantee our future.
  First, trade: We will work to break down the walls that stop world 
trade. We will work to open markets everywhere.
  In our major trade negotiations I will continue pushing to eliminate 
tariffs and subsidies that damage America's farmers and workers. And 
we'll get more good American jobs within our own hemisphere through the 
North American Free Trade Agreement, and through the Enterprise for the 
Americas Initiative.
  But changes are here, and more are coming. The workplace of the 
future will demand more highly skilled workers than ever--more people 
who are computer literate, and highly educated.
  We must be the world's leader in education. We must revolutionize 
America's schools.
  My America 2000 strategy will help us reach that goal. My plan will 
give parents more choice, give teachers more flexibility, and help 
communities create New American Schools.
  Thirty states across the nation have established America 2000 
programs. Hundreds of cities and towns have joined in.
  Now Congress must join this great movement: Pass my proposals for New 
American Schools.
  That was my second long term proposal, and here is my third:
  We must make common sense investments that will help us compete, long 
term, in the marketplace.
  We must encourage research and development. My plan is to make the R 
and D tax credit permanent, and to provide record levels of support--
over 76 billion dollars this year alone--for people who will explore 
the promise of emerging technologies.
  Fourth, we must do something about crime, and drugs.
  It is time for a major, renewed investment in fighting violent street 
crime. It saps our strength and hurts our faith in our society, and in 
our future together.
  Surely a tired woman on her way to work at 6 in the morning on a 
subway deserves the right to get there safely. Surely it's true that 
everyone who changes his or her life because of crime--from those 
afraid to go out at night to those afraid to walk in the parks they pay 
for--surely these people have been denied a basic civil right.
  It is time to restore it. Congress, pass my comprehensive crime bill. 
It is tough on criminals and supportive of police--and it has been 
languishing in these hallowed halls for years now.
  Pass it. Help your country.
  Fifth, I ask you tonight to fund our H.O.P.E. housing proposal--and 
to pass my Enterprise Zone legislation, which will get businesses into 
the inner city. We must empower the poor with the pride that comes from 
owning a home, getting a job, becoming a part of things.
  My plan would encourage real estate construction by extending tax 
incentives for mortgage revenue bonds and low income housing.
  And I ask tonight for record expenditures for the program that helps 
children born into want move into excellence: Head Start.
  Step six--we must reform our health care system. For this too bears 
on

[[Page 23]]

whether or not we can compete in the world.
  American health costs have been exploding. This year America will 
spend over 800 billion dollars on health. And that's expected to grow 
to 1.6 trillion by the end of the decade. We simply cannot afford this.
  The cost of health care shows up not only in your family budget, but 
in the price of everything we buy and everything we sell. When health 
coverage for a fellow on an assembly line costs thousands of dollars, 
the cost goes into the products he makes--and you pay the bill.
  We must make a choice.
  Now, some pretend we can have it both ways. They call it Play or 
Pay--but that expensive approach is unstable. It will mean higher 
taxes, fewer jobs and, eventually, a system under complete government 
control.
  Really, there are only two options: We can move toward a nationalized 
system--which will restrict patient choice in picking a doctor and 
force the government to ration services arbitrarily. And what we'll get 
is patients in long lines, indifferent service, and a huge new tax 
burden.
  Or we can reform our own private health care system--which still 
gives us, for all its flaws, the best quality health care in the world.
  Well, let's build on our strengths.
  My plan provides insurance security for all Americans--while 
preserving and increasing the idea of choice. We make basic health 
insurance affordable for all low income people not now covered. We do 
it by providing a health insurance tax credit of up to $3,750 for each 
low income family. The middle class gets help too. And, by reforming 
the health insurance market, my plan assures that Americans will have 
access to basic health insurance even if they change jobs or develop 
serious health problems.
  We must bring costs under control, preserve quality, preserve choice, 
and reduce the people's nagging daily worry about health insurance. My 
plan, the details of which I will announce very shortly, does just 
that.
  Seventh, we must get the federal deficit under control.
  We now have in law enforceable spending caps, a requirement that we 
pay for the programs we create.
  There are those in Congress who would ease that discipline now. But I 
cannot let them do it--and I won't.
  My plan would freeze all domestic discretionary budget authority--
which means ``No more next year than this year.'' I will not tamper 
with Social Security, but I would put real caps on the growth of 
uncontrolled spending. I would also freeze federal domestic government 
employment.
  With the help of Congress, my plan will get rid of 246 programs that 
don't deserve federal funding. Some of them have noble titles, but none 
of them is indispensable. We can get rid of each and every one of them.
  You know, it's time we rediscovered a ``home truth;'' the American 
people have never forgotten: This government is too big and spends too 
much.
  I call upon Congress to adopt a measure that will help put an end to 
the annual ritual of filling the budget with pork-barrel 
appropriations. Every year, the press has a field day making fun of 
outrageous examples--a Lawrence Welk museum, a research grant for 
Belgian Endive.
  We all know how these things get into the budget. Maybe you need 
someone to help you say No. I know how to say it. And I know what I 
need to make it stick. Give me the same thing 43 Governors have: The 
line item veto, and let me help you control the spending.
  We must put an end to unfinanced federal government mandates. These 
are the requirements Congress puts on our cities, counties and states--
without supplying the money. If Congress passes a mandate, it should be 
forced to pay for it, and to balance the cost with savings elsewhere. 
After all, a mandate just increases someone else's burden--and that 
means higher taxes at the state and local level.
  Step Eight: Congress should enact the bold reform proposals that are 
still awaiting Congressional action--bank reform, civil justice reform, 
tort reform, and my national energy strategy.
  Finally: We must strengthen the family--because it is the family that 
has the greatest bearing on our future. When Barbara holds an AIDS baby 
in her arms, and reads to children, she's saying to every person in 
this country ``Family matters.''
  I am announcing tonight a new Commission on America's Urban Families.
   I have asked Missouri's Governor John Ashcroft, to be Chairman, a 
former Dallas Mayor in Dallas, Annette Strauss, to be co-chair. You 
know, I had Mayors, leading Mayors from the League of Cities in the 
other day at the White House and they told me something striking. They 
said that every one of them, Republican or Democrat, agreed on one 
thing: That the major cause of the problems of the cities is the 
dissolution of the family.
  They asked for this Commission, and they were right to ask, because 
it's time to determine what we can do to keep families together, strong 
and sound.
  There's one thing we can do right away: ease the burden of rearing a 
child. I ask you tonight to raise the personal exemption by five 
hundred dollars per child for every family. For a family with four 
kids, that's an increase of two thousand dollars. This is a good start, 
in the right direction, and it's what we can afford.
  It's time to allow families to deduct the interest they pay on 
student loans. I am asking you to do just that. And I'm asking you to 
allow people to use money from their I.R.A.'s to pay medical and 
education expenses--all without penalties.
  And I'm asking for more. Ask American parents what they dislike about 
how things are going in our country, and chances are good that pretty 
soon they'll get to welfare.
  Americans are the most generous people on earth. But we have to go 
back to the insight of Franklin Roosevelt who, when he spoke of what 
became the welfare program, warned that is must not become ``a 
narcotic'' and a ``subtle destroyer'' of the spirit.
  Welfare was never meant to be a lifestyle; it was never meant to be a 
habit; it was never supposed to be passed from generation to generation 
like a legacy.
  It's time to replace the assumptions of the welfare state, and help 
reform the welfare system.
  States throughout the country are beginning to operate with new 
assumptions: That when able-bodied people receive government 
assistance, they have responsibilities to the taxpayer. A 
responsibility to seek work, education, or job training--a 
responsibility to get their lives in order--a responsibility to hold 
their families together and refrain from having children out of 
wedlock--and a responsibility to obey the law.
  We are going to help this movement. Often, state reform requires 
waiving certain federal regulations. I will act to make that process 
easier and quicker for every state that asks our help.
  And I want to add, as we make these changes and work together to 
improve the system, that our intention isn't scapegoating or finger 
pointing. If you read the papers or watch TV you know there's been a 
rise these days in a certain kind of ugliness, racist comments, anti-
semitism, an increased sense of division.
  Really, this is not us. This is not who we are. And this is not 
acceptable.
  And so you have my plan for America. I am asking for big things--but 
I believe in my heart you will do what's right.
  You know, it's kind of an American tradition to show a certain 
skepticism toward our democratic institutions. I myself have sometimes 
thought the aging process could be delayed if it had to make its way 
through Congress.
  You will deliberate, and you will discuss, and that is fine.
  But, my friends: the people cannot wait. They need help now.
  There is a mood among us. People are worried, there has been talk of 
decline. Someone even said our workers are lazy and uninspired.
  And I thought, really. Go tell Neil Armstrong standing on the moon. 
Tell the men and women who put him there. Tell the American farmer who 
feeds his country and the world. Tell the men and women of Desert 
Storm.
  Moods come and go, but greatness endures.
  Ours does.
  And maybe for a moment it's good to remember what, in the dailyness 
of our lives, we forget:
  We are still and ever the freest Nation on Earth--the kindest Nation 
on Earth--the strongest Nation on Earth--
  And we have always risen to the occasion.

[[Page 24]]

  We are going to lift this nation out of hard times inch by inch and 
day by day, and those who would stop us had better step aside. Because 
I look at hard times and I make this vow: This will not stand.
  And so we move on, together, a rising nation, the once and future 
miracle that is still, this night, the hope of the world.
  Thank you. God bless you. God bless our beloved country

To the Congress of the United States:
  I am pleased to present the Budget of the United States Government for 
Fiscal Year 1993.
  In the State of the Union message, which I delivered yesterday, I 
presented to the Congress and the Nation a comprehensive agenda for 
economic growth. I stated that we must not only get the economy moving 
again in the short term, but also set America firmly on the path toward 
long-term economic growth and competitiveness.
  I emphasized in that message the importance of; stimulating the 
investment necessary to create jobs, addressing problems related to real 
estate and health care, improving America's capacity to compete in a 
global economy, eliminating unnecessary Federal regulation, and 
accomplishing these objectives in a way that brings the deficit under 
control. I outlined specific incentives for investment, savings, and 
homeownership; tax relief for families; investments in the future; and 
proposals for reform in areas ranging from health to education.
  This document translates the agenda for growth into a set of specific 
budget and policy recommendations. These are summarized in the 
Introduction and presented in detail in the chapters and appendices 
which follow.
  I have asked the Congress to lay aside partisanship and to join me in 
enacting this growth agenda promptly. To that end, I pledge my full 
cooperation.
                                                          George Bush.  
                                      The White House, January 29, 1992.

papers, was referred to the Committee on Appropriations and ordered to

Para. 6.4  communication from the clerk--message from the president

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MONTGOMERY, laid before the House a 
communication, which was read as follows:

                                               Washington, DC,

                                                 January 29, 1992.
     Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
     The Speaker, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: Pursuant to the permission granted in 
     Clause 5 of Rule III of the Rules of the U.S. House of 
     Representatives, I have the honor to transmit a sealed 
     envelope received from the White House at 5:22 p.m. on 
     Wednesday, January 29, 1992 and said to contain a message 
     from the President wherein he transmits the 1992 National 
     Drug Control Strategy.
       With great respect, I am
           Sincerely yours,
                                              Donnald K. Anderson,
                                 Clerk, House of Representatives. 

Para. 6.5  drug control strategy

  The Clerk then read the message from the President, as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  I am pleased to transmit today for the consideration of the Congress 
and the American people the 1992 National Drug Control Strategy, in 
accordance with section 1005 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 (Public 
Law 100-690; 21 U.S.C. 1504).
  This is the Fourth National Drug Control Strategy, and it lays out a 
comprehensive plan for Federal drug control activities for Fiscal Year 
1993 and beyond. The principal goal remains unchanged from the previous 
three Strategies: to reduce the level of illegal drug use in America.
  We are fighting a two-front war against drugs. The first front is 
against casual drug use, and I am pleased to report that significant 
progress is being made here, particularly among our Nation's youth. 
Casual drug use is still too high, however, and this Strategy rightly 
continues to stress efforts to reduce it. The second front, against 
hard-core drug use, poses a more difficult challenge. Progress here is 
slower. There are still too many neighborhoods, families, and 
individuals who suffer the consequences of drug use and drug-related 
crime. To address this problem, the Strategy proposes a variety of 
carefully targeted and intensified efforts. I urge the Congress to 
expedite their enactment.
  The war on drugs is vital to our country's economy, international 
competitiveness, and security. Previous Strategies have enjoyed 
bipartisan political and funding support in the Congress. I ask for your 
continued support in this critical endeavor.
                                                          George Bush.  
  The White House, January 29, 1992.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Agriculture, the Committee on 
Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs, the Committee on Education and 
Labor, the Committee on Energy and Commerce, the Committee on Foreign 
Affairs, the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, the Committee on 
the Judiciary, the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, the 
Committee on Public Works and Transportation, the Committee on Small 
Business, the Committee on Veterans' Affairs, and the Committee on Ways 
and Means.

       (1) has been inhabited, possibly as far back as 2000 BC, 
     and encompasses all major cultural periods in the United 
     States Virgin Islands;
       (2) contains the only ceremonial ball court ever discovered 
     in the Lesser Antilles, village middens, and burial grounds 
     which can provide evidence for the interpretation of 
     Caribbean life prior to Columbus;
       (3) is the only known site where members of the Columbus 
     expeditions set foot on what is now United States territory;
       (4) was a focal point of various European attempts to 
     colonize the area during the post-Columbian period and 
     contains sites of Spanish, French, Dutch, English, and Danish 
     settlements, including Fort Sale, one of the few remaining 
     earthwork fortifications in the Western Hemisphere;
       (5) presents an outstanding opportunity to preserve and 
     interpret Caribbean history and culture, including the impact 
     of European exploration and settlement;
       (6) has been a national natural landmark since February 
     1980 and has been nominated for acquisition as a nationally 
     significant wildlife habitat;
       (7) contains the largest remaining mangrove forest in the 
     United States Virgin Islands and a variety of tropical marine 
     and terrestrial ecosystems which should be preserved and kept 
     unimpaired for the benefit of present and future generations; 
     and
       (8) is worthy of a comprehensive preservation effort that 
     should be carried out in partnership between the Federal

     Islands.

     recovery effort, then the President shall provide technical 
     assistance to the insular area which the President deems 
     necessary for the recovery effort.

     a disaster in an insular area, the Secretary, in consultation 
     with the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, 
     shall submit to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural 
     Resources and the House Committee on Interior and Insular 
     Affairs a report on the status of the recovery effort, 
     including an audit of Federal funds expended in the recovery 
     effort and recommendations on how to improve public health

     efforts, and effective use of funds in the event of future 
     disasters.

Para. 8.17  message from the president--access to justice act

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McDERMOTT, laid before the House a 
message from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  I am pleased to transmit today for your immediate consideration and 
enactment the ``Access to Justice Act of 1992''. The purpose of this 
proposal is to reduce the tremendous growth in civil litigation that has 
burdened the American court system and imposed high costs on our 
citizens, small businesses, industries, professionals, and government at 
all levels.
  A thorough study of the current civil justice system has been 
conducted by a

[[Page 39]]

special working group, chaired by the Solicitor General, Kenneth W. 
Starr. The working group's recommendations, which were unanimously 
accepted by my Council on Competitiveness, are reflected in the bill. 
The legislation seeks to reduce wasteful and counterproductive 
litigation practices by encouraging voluntary dispute resolution, the 
improved use of litigation resources, and, where appropriate, modified, 
market-based fee arrangements. Additional reforms would permit the 
judicial system to operate more effectively.
  The Access to Justice Act would accomplish reforms in significant 
areas of litigation:
  --a prerequisite for Federal jurisdiction over certain types of 
    lawsuits (the amount in controversy requirement) would be redefined 
    to exclude vague, subjective claims;
  --prevailing parties could be entitled to award of attorney's fees in 
    certain lawsuits brought in Federal court;
  --the Equal Access to Justice Act would be amended to clarify and 
    limit litigation over the amount of attorney's fees;
  --innovative ``multi-door courthouses'' would be established to 
    encourage utilization of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms;
  --award of reasonable attorney's fees in disputes involving the United 
    States would be permitted in appropriate instances;
  --prior notice would be required, subject to reasonable limits, as a 
    prerequisite to bring suit in any United States District Court;
  --flexible assignment of district court judges would be authorized;
  --immunity of State judicial officers would be clarified and 
    protected;
  --the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act would be amended 
    to encourage resolution of claims administratively; and
  --improvements in case management in Federal courts would be effected.
  I believe this proposed legislation would greatly reduce the burden of 
excessive, needless litigation while protecting and enhancing every 
American's ability to vindicate legal rights through our legal system. I 
recommend prompt and favorable consideration of the enclosed bill.
                                                          George Bush.  
  The White House, February 4, 1992.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary and ordered to be 
printed (H. Doc. 102-185).

  When on motion of Mr. SWIFT, it was,
  Resolved, That the House disagree to the amendment of the Senate and

  So the resolution was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said resolution was agreed to 
was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.

Para. 9.8  privileges of the house

  Mr. LEWIS of California rose to a question of the privileges of the 
House and submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 341):

       Resolved, That (a)(1) there is created a Select Committee 
     to Investigate Allegations Concerning the House Post Office 
     (hereinafter referred to as the ``select committee''), to be 
     composed of 10 members, 5 to be appointed by the Speaker and 
     5 by the minority leader, with each designating a cochairman 
     from his 5 appointments. Any reference in this resolution to 
     action taken by the cochairmen shall require the agreement of 
     both cochairmen. Any vacancy occurring in the membership of 
     the select committee shall be filled in the same manner in 
     which the original appointment was made.
       (2) The select committee shall conduct a full and complete 
     investigation and study, and make such findings as are 
     warranted, respecting the following allegations and matters;
       (A) Theft of Post Office moneys or property by Post Office 
     employees.
       (B) Use or distribution of illegal drugs by Post Office 
     employees.
       (C) Coverup of improper or illegal conduct of Post Office 
     employees by their supervisors or other superiors.
       (D) Conduct of Members of the House in their dealings with 
     the Post Office.
       (E) Oversight of Post Office accounts and activities by 
     existing committees of the House or entities responsible for 
     the same.
       (F) All matters related, directly or indirectly, to 
     subparagraphs (A) through (E).
       (3) The select committee shall make recommendations to the 
     Speaker and minority leader regarding the implementation of 
     an improved system of oversight to prevent the repetition of 
     improper or illegal conduct in finds.
       (4) The select committee shall report to the Committee on 
     Standards of Official Conduct evidence of improper or illegal 
     conduct it finds by any Member, officer, or employee of the 
     House.
       (b) One-third of the members of the select committee shall 
     constitute a quorum for the transaction of business other 
     than the reporting of a matter, which shall require a 
     majority of the select committee to be actually present, 
     except that the select committee may designate a lesser 
     number, but not less than two, as a quorum for the purpose of 
     holding hearings to take testimony. The select committee may 
     sit while the House is reading a measure for amendment under 
     the five-minute rule. The rules of the House shall govern the 
     select committee where not inconsistent with this resolution. 
     The select committee shall adopt additional written rules, 
     which shall be public, to govern its procedures, which shall 
     not be inconsistent with this resolution or the rules of the 
     House. Such rules may govern the conduct of the depositions, 
     interviews, and hearings of the select committee, including 
     the persons present. Such rules shall provide for the 
     protection of classified information from unauthorized 
     disclosure.
       (c) The select committee is authorized to sit and act 
     during the present Congress at such times and places within 
     the United States, whether the House is in session, has 
     recessed, or has adjourned; and to require, by subpoena or 
     otherwise, the attendance and testimony of such witnesses, 
     the furnishing of information by interrogatory, and the 
     production of such books, records, correspondence, memoranda, 
     papers, documents, vouchers, audit reports, calendars, 
     recordings, data compilations from which information can be 
     obtained, tangible objects, and other things and information 
     of any kind as it deems necessary. Unless otherwise 
     determined by the select committee, the cochairmen, or the 
     select committee shall authorize and issue subpoenas. 
     Subpoenas shall be issued under the seal of the House and 
     attested by the Clerk, and may be served by any person 
     designated by the cochairmen or any member. The select 
     committee may request investigations, reports, and other 
     assistance from any agency of the legislative branch of the 
     Federal Government.
       (d) The select committee shall determine a method whereby 
     each cochairman shall preside at alternate meetings and 
     hearings of the select committee. All meetings and hearings 
     of the select committee shall be conducted in open session, 
     unless a majority of members of the select committee voting, 
     there being in attendance a majority of select committee 
     members, vote to close a meeting or hearing.
       (e) The cochairmen, may employ and fix the compensation of 
     such clerks, experts, consultants, technicians, attorneys, 
     investigators, and clerical and stenographic assistants as 
     they consider necessary to carry out the purposes of this 
     resolution. The select committee shall be deemed a committee 
     of the House for all purposes of law. The select committee 
     may reimburse the members of its staff for travel, 
     subsistence, and other necessary expenses incurred by them in 
     the performance of the duties vested in the select committee, 
     other than expenses in connection with meetings of the select 
     committee held in the District of Columbia.
       (f) Unless otherwise determined by the select committee, 
     the cochairmen may authorize the taking of affidavits and of 
     depositions pursuant to notice or subpoena by at least 2 
     Members, under oath administered by a Member or a person 
     otherwise authorized by law to administer oaths. Depositions 
     shall be deemed to be taken in executive session.
       (g) The select committee shall be authorized to respond to 
     any judicial or other process, or to make any applications to 
     court, upon consultation with the Speaker consistent with 
     rule L.
       (h) The select committee shall provide other committees and 
     Members of the House with access to information and

by unanimous consent, laid on the table.

Para. 9.10  privileges of the house

  Mr. McEWEN rose to a question of the privileges of the House and 
submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 342):

       Whereas on January 10, 1992, the chief counsel of the House 
     Committee on Foreign Affairs wrote to the U.S. District Court 
     for the Eastern District of New York requesting leniency in 
     the sentencing of Mr. Dirk Stoffberg, a convicted arms 
     dealer, on grounds that he had provided the committee with 
     evidence regarding the so-called ``October Surprise;''
       Whereas the chief counsel's letter was sent on committee 
     letterhead purporting to be on behalf of the ``House 
     Committee on Foreign Affairs . . . in an ongoing 
     investigation;''
       Whereas the U.S. District Court consequently granted the 
     request for a reduced sentence on grounds that, ``Comity 
     between independent branches of government suggests the 
     desirability of assisting Congress in its important work 
     where there is no strong conflict with a court's other 
     sentencing responsibilities;''
       Whereas the Federal District judge further indicated in his 
     sentencing ``Memorandum and Order'' that, ``were it not for 
     the intervention of Congress,'' the defendant would have been 
     sentenced to a longer term of imprisonment ``because he 
     threatened violence during the course of his criminal 
     activity;''
       Whereas neither the House, the Committee on Foreign Affairs 
     nor any subcommittee thereof has ever authorized an 
     investigation into the ``October Surprise'' allegations;
       Whereas the House Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group has not 
     authorized any intervention in the sentencing proceeding on 
     behalf of the House or any of its committees;
       Whereas at the time the chief counsel's letter was 
     submitted to the U.S. District Court a resolution authorizing 
     a special task force investigation into the ``October 
     Surprise'' allegations was still pending in the House and had 
     not yet been acted upon;
       Whereas the misrepresentations of the position of the House 
     and it committees in a judicial proceeding by an employee 
     affects the rights of the House collectively, its dignity, 
     and the integrity of its proceedings, and thereby raised a 
     question of the privileges of the House under Rule IX: Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the House Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group 
     (consisting of the Speaker, the majority and minority 
     leaders, and the majority and minority whips) is hereby 
     authorized and directed to inquire fully into the facts and 
     circumstances surrounding the intervention by the chief 
     counsel of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs in the 
     sentencing of Mr. Dirk Stoffberg by the U.S. District Court 
     for the Eastern District of New York and to submit to the 
     House at the earliest practicable date, but not later than 45 
     legislative days after the adoption of this resolution, its 
     findings thereon together with any actions taken or 
     recommendations made in response to such incident or to 
     prevent the recurrence of such unauthorized interventions in 
     judicial proceedings by House Members, officers, or 
     employees.

  When said resolution was considered.
  During debate,

Para. 9.11  words taken down

  Mr. LIVINGSTON addressed the House and, during the course of his 
remarks,
  Mr. FASCELL demanded that certain words be taken down.
  The Clerk read the words taken down as follows:

       The criminal justice of this country is in danger when 
     elected officials can tamper with the judicial system. And in 
     this case, that is exactly what happened. 

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MURTHA, held the words taken down were in 
order, and said:
  ``The Chair will rule that since the gentleman from Louisiana is 
generically speaking and not specifically alleging improper conduct by 
any individual Member, the words are in order, in the context of this 
resolution.''.

  Mr. LIVINGSTON was permitted to proceed in order.
  Mr. LIVINGSTON, by unanimous consent, requested that the word 
``elected'' be stricken from the Congressional Record.
  After further debate,
  Mr. GEPHARDT moved to lay the resolution on the table.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House lay the resolution on the table?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MURTHA, announced that the yeas had it.
  On a division demanded by Mr. WALKER, there appeared, yeas--13, nays--
8.
  Mr. WALKER objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken by 
electronic device.

  Mr. DERRICK, pursuant to House Resolution 303, called up the following 
resolution (H. Res. 258):

       Resolved, That (1) There is hereby created a Task Force of 
     Members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs to 
     Investigate Certain Allegations Concerning the Holding of 
     Americans as Hostages by Iran in 1980, to be composed of 
     thirteen Members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs to 
     be appointed by the Speaker, one of whom he shall designate 
     as chairman. The Speaker shall, with respect to the 
     Republican Members of the Task Force, make such appointments 
     upon consultation with the Republican Leader. Any vacancy 
     occurring in the membership of the Task Force shall be filled 
     in the same manner in which the original appointment was 
     made. The Task Force is, with respect to the matters 
     described below, authorized and directed to conduct a full 
     and complete investigation and study, and to make such 
     findings as are warranted, including, where appropriate, a 
     finding that no credible evidence can be found to support 
     particular allegations. The Task Force is further authorized 
     and directed to make such recommendations to the Committee on 
     Foreign Affairs as the Task Force deems appropriate, 
     including those concerning the amendment of existing 
     legislation or the enactment of new legislation. The Task 
     Force shall fulfill these functions with respect to the 
     following matters:
       (a) Communications by or on behalf of the 1980 Reagan 
     Presidential Campaign, or individuals representing or 
     associated with that campaign, with any person or persons 
     representing or associated with the Iranian Government or 
     those persons with Iran holding Americans as Hostages during 
     1979 and 1980;
       (b) Any attempt or proposal to attempt, by the 1980 Reagan 
     Presidential Campaign or persons representing or associated 
     with that campaign, to delay the release of the Americans 
     held as hostages in Iran;
       (c) Any activity by the 1980 Reagan Presidential Campaign 
     to acquire or disseminate any information relating to actions 
     being taken or considered by the United States Government in 
     an effort to obtain the release of the Americans being held 
     as hostages in Iran;
       (d) Any sale or other transmittal of arms, spare parts or 
     other assistance to Iran, in

[[Page 48]]

     1980 or thereafter, by any person or nation, intended to 
     delay the release of the American held as Hostages by Iran, 
     and any approval, acquiescence or knowledge of such sales or 
     transmittals by the 1980 Reagan Presidential Campaign or 
     persons representing or associated with that campaign; and
       (e) Any actions taken to keep any communications or actions 
     as described above, if any such communications or actions 
     took place, from being revealed to the Government of the 
     United States or the American people.
       (2) One-third of the members of the Task Force shall 
     constitute a quorum for the transaction of business other 
     than the reporting of a matter, which shall require a 
     majority of the Task Force to be actually present, except 
     that the Task Force may designate a lesser number, but not 
     less than two, as a quorum for the purpose of holding 
     hearings to take testimony. When a quorum for any particular 
     purpose is present, general proxies may be counted for that 
     purpose. The Task Force may sit while the House is reading a 
     measure for amendment under the five-minute rule. The rules 
     of the House shall govern the Task Force where not 
     inconsistent with this resolution. The Task Force shall adopt 
     additional written rules, which shall be public, to govern 
     its procedures, which shall not be inconsistent with this 
     resolution or the rules of the House. Such rules may govern 
     the conduct of the depositions, interviews, and hearings of 
     the Task Force, including the persons present. Such rules 
     shall provide for the protection of classified information 
     from unauthorized disclosure.
       (3) The Task Force is authorized to sit and act during the 
     present Congress at such times and places within the United 
     States, including any Commonwealth or possession thereof, or 
     in any other country, whether the House is in session, or has 
     adjourned; to require, by subpoena or otherwise, the 
     attendance and testimony of such witnesses, the furnishing of 
     information by interrogatory, and the production of such 
     books, records, correspondence, memoranda, papers, documents, 
     calendars, recordings, data compilations from which 
     information can be obtained, tangible objects, and other 
     things and information of any kind as it deems necessary, 
     including all intelligence materials however classified, 
     White House materials, campaign materials, materials of 
     present and former government officials and materials 
     pertaining to unvouchered expenditures or concerning 
     communications interceptions or surveillance; and to obtain 
     evidence in other appropriate countries with the cooperation 
     of their governments and by letters rogatory, commissions, 
     field depositions and other appropriate mechanisms. Unless 
     otherwise determined by the Task Force the chairman, upon 
     consultation with the ranking Republican member, on the Task 
     Force, shall authorize and issue subpoenas. Subpoenas shall 
     be issued under the seal of the House and attested by the 
     Clerk, and may be served by any person designated by the 
     chairman or any member. The Task Force may request 
     investigations, reports, and other assistance from any agency 
     of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the 
     Federal Government.
       (4) The chairman, or in his absence a member designated by 
     the chairman, shall preside at all meetings and hearings of 
     the Task Force. All meetings and hearings of the Task Force 
     shall be conducted in open session, unless a majority of 
     members of the Task Force voting, there being in attendance 
     the requisite number required for the purpose of hearings to 
     take testimony, vote to close a meeting or hearing.
       (5) The Chairman, upon consultation with the ranking 
     Republican member, may employ and fix the compensation of 
     such clerks, experts, consultants, technicians, attorneys, 
     investigators, and clerical and stenographic assistants as it 
     considers necessary to carry out the purposes of this 
     resolution. The Task Force shall be deemed a committee of the 
     House for all purposes of law, including House Rule XI 
     (2)(n), and sections 6005, 1505, and 1621 of title 18, 
     section 192 of title 2, 1754(b)(1)(B)(ii) of title 22, and 
     section 734(a) of title 31, United States Code. The Task 
     Force may reimburse the members of its staff for travel, 
     subsistence, and other necessary expenses incurred by them in 
     the performance of the duties vested in the Task Force, other 
     than expenses in connection with meetings of the Task Force 
     held in the District of Columbia.
       (6) Unless otherwise determined by the Task Force the 
     chairman, upon consultation with the ranking Republican 
     member, or the Task Force, may authorize the taking of 
     affidavits, and of depositions pursuant to notice or 
     subpoena, by a Member or by designated staff, under oath 
     administered by a Member or a person otherwise authorized by 
     law to administer oaths. Disposition and affidavit testimony 
     shall be deemed to have been taken in Washington, DC, before 
     the Task Force once filed there with the clerk of the Task 
     Force for the Task Force's use. Depositions shall be deemed 
     to be taken in Executive Session.
       (7) The Task Force shall be authorized to respond to any 
     judicial or other process, or to make any applications to 
     court, upon consultation with the Speaker consistent with 
     rule L.

     Members of the House with access to information and 
     proceedings, consistent with rule XLVIII(7)(c): Provided, 
     That the Task Force may direct that particular matters or 
     classes of matter shall not be made available to any person 
     by its members, staff, or others, or may impose any other 
     restriction. The Task Force may require its staff to enter 
     nondisclosure agreements and its chairman, in consultation 
     with the ranking Republican member, may require others, such 
     as counsel for witnesses, to do so: Provided further, That 
     the Task Force shall, as appropriate, provide access to 
     information and proceedings to the Speaker, the Majority 
     Leader, the Republican Leader, and their appropriately 
     cleared and designated staff.
       (9) Authorized expenses of the Task Force for

     chairman and approved by the Chairman of the Committee on 
     House Administration.
       (10) By July 1, 1992, the Task Force shall report to the 
     House the status of its investigation. With respect to this 
     and any other report of the Task Force, including its final 
     report, the report shall be accompanied by supplemental or 
     additional minority views.
       (11) At the conclusion of the existence of the Task Force 
     all records of the Task Force shall become the records of the 
     Committee on Foreign Affairs except for those records 
     relating to intelligence matters which shall, upon the Task 
     Force's designation, become the records of the House 
     Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

  Pursuant to House Resolution 303, the amendment recommended by the 
Committee on Rules, as modified by the amendment recommended by the 
Committee on House Administration was considered as adopted.
  Pending consideration of said resolution,

Para. 9.19  point of order

  Mr. McEWEN made a point of order against the resolution, and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, House rule XI, clause 5(a) provides that whenever a 
committee, commission or other entity is to be granted authorization for 
the payment from the contingent fund of the House of its expenses in any 
year, `such authorization initially shall be procured by one primary 
expense resolution for the committee, commission or other entity.'
  ``The rule goes on to require that `any such primary expense 
resolution reported to the House shall not be considered in the House 
unless a printed report on that resolution' shall `state the total 
amount of the funds to be provided to the committee, commission or other 
entity under the primary expense resolution for all anticipated 
activities and programs * * *.'
  ``Mr. Speaker, it is my assumption that this resolution, which was 
reported by the House Administration and authorizes the payment of 
expenses from the contingent fund, is the primary expense resolution for 
the task force. And yet the committee report on this resolution, House 
Report 102-296, part II, does not `state the total amount of funds to be 
provided' as required by rule XI, clause 5(a).
  ``If, on the other hand, it is argued that House Resolution 258 is not 
a primary expense resolution, then it is not in order since House rule 
XI, clause 5(a) requires that whenever any entity such as this task 
force is to be granted authorization for the payment of expenses from 
the contingent fund, and I quote, `such authorization initially shall be 
procured by one primary expense resolution for the committee, commission 
or other entity.' In other words, this resolution is not in order until 
after a primary expense resolution has been adopted by this House.''.

  Mr. DERRICK was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, under clause 5(c), the funds will be provided to the 
Committee on Foreign Affairs and they will, in turn, provide the funds 
to the subcommittee, I mean to the committee that we are 
establishing.''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. OBEY, overruled the point of order, and 
said:

  ``The gentleman from Ohio, in a point of order, suggests to the House 
that under rule XI, clause 5(a), there needs to be a total amount 
stated in the report of the Committee on House Administration for 
funding of the task force, and the Chair would simply point out that 
the primary expense resolution for the Committee on Foreign Affairs and 
all other committees will be reported to the House later this year.
  ``As the gentleman from South Carolina has attempted to point out to 
the House, clause 5(c) of rule XI reads as follows:

       `The preceding provisions of this clause do not apply to--

[[Page 49]]

       `(1) any resolution providing for the payment from the 
     contingent fund of the House of sums necessary to pay 
     compensation for staff services performed for, or to pay 
     other expenses of, any committee, commission or other entity 
     at any time from and after the beginning of any year and 
     before the date of adoption by the House of the primary 
     expense resolution providing funds to pay the expenses of 
     that committee, commission or other entity for that year;
  ``It is the ruling of the Chair at this time that the task force 
comes under that exception. The task force is a subunit of the 
Committee on Foreign Affairs and not a separate entity.
  ``The point of order is, therefore, overruled.''.

  Mr. WALKER appealed the ruling of the Chair.
  Mr. DERRICK moved to lay the appeal on the table.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House lay on the table the appeal of the ruling of the 
Chair?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. OBEY, announced that the yeas had it.
  On a division demanded by Mr. WALKER, there appeared, yeas--19, 
nays--21.
  Mr. DERRICK objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken 
by electronic device.

  Will the House agree to said amendment?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. OBEY, announced that the nays had it.
  Mr. MICHEL objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.

Para. 9.28  message from the president--economic report

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. ORTON, laid before the House a message 
from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  1991 was a challenging year for the American economy. Output was 
stagnant and unemployment rose. The recession, which began in the third 
quarter of 1990, following the longest peacetime expansion in the 
Nation's history, continued into 1991. The high oil prices and the 
uncertainty occasioned by events in the Persian Gulf were quickly 
resolved with the successful completion of Operation Desert Storm early 
in the year. Most analysts expected a sustained recovery to follow. 
Indeed, signs of a moderate expansion began to appear in the spring. 
Industrial production and consumer spending rose for several months. By 
the late summer, however, the economy flattened out and was sluggish 
through the rest of the year.
  Our recent economic problems are a reminder that even a well-
functioning economy faces the risk of temporary setbacks from external 
shocks or other disturbances. Market economies, such as the United 
States, are continually restructuring in response to technological 
changes and external events. Occasionally, structural imbalances develop 
that can interrupt economic growth. The American economy experienced an 
unusual confluence of such imbalances in recent years, for example in 
the financial and real estate sectors, and in household, corporate, and 
governmental debt. At the same time, a major reallocation of resources 
from defense to other sectors has been under way. Not least, the lagged 
effects of a relatively tight monetary policy coupled with problems in 
the availability of credit, especially for small and medium-sized 
businesses, dampened economic growth.
  The U.S. economy, however, remains the largest and strongest in the 
world. The American people enjoy the highest standard of living on 
earth. American productivity is second to none. With less than 5 percent 
of the world's population, American produces a quarter of the world's 
output.
  As we move into 1992, the fundamental conditions to generate economic 
growth are falling into place. Interest rates are at their lowest levels 
in decades and should help boost investment and consumer spending. 
Inflation is down and expected to remain relatively low. Generally lean 
inventories imply that increases in demand will be met mainly from new 
production, which will generate gains in employment and income. 
America's international competitive position has improved, as evidenced 
by record levels of exports.
  Nevertheless, the United States faces serious economic challenges: To 
speed, strengthen, and sustain economic recovery; and, simultaneously, 
to provide a firmer basis for long-term growth in productivity, income, 
and employment opportunities. In both my State of the Union Address and 
my fiscal 1993 Budget, I presented a comprehensive program to encourage 
short-term recovery and long-term growth. I have already taken steps to 
accelerate job-creating Federal spending, to adjust income tax 
withholding that will add about $25 billion to the economy over the 
next year, and to renew the attack on excessive regulation and redtape 
that hamper business formation and expansion and job creation. I will 
also continue to support a monetary policy that keeps inflation and 
interest rates low while providing adequate growth of money and credit 
to support a healthy economic expansion.
  Most of my program will require congressional action. In addition to 
the executive actions I have already announced, my immediate agenda 
includes:
  --Investment incentives to promote economic growth: a reduction in 
    capital gains tax rates; a 15-percent investment tax allowance; and 
    an improved alternative minimum tax.
  --Incentives to help revive real estate: a $5,000 tax credit for 
    first-time homebuyers; penalty-free withdrawals from individual 
    retirement accounts for first-time homebuyers; low-income housing 
    credits; tax preferences for mortgage revenue bonds; a modified 
    passive loss tax rule; and a tax deduction for losses on the sale 
    of a personal residence.
  My intermediate and longer term agenda includes:
  --Investment in the future: record levels of spending for Head Start 
    and anticrime and drug abuse programs; a comprehensive Job Training 
    2000 initiative, which will enhance the skills and flexibility of 
    our work force; record levels of spending for research and 
    development and infrastructure; record spending on math and science 
    education; and Enterprise Zones.
  --Pro-family initiatives: an increase in the personal tax exemption 
    for families with children; new flexible individual retirement 
    accounts for health, education, and first home purchases; and tax 
    deductibility of interest paid on student loans.
  --Comprehensive health reform: vital cost containment measures and 
    tax credits for the purchase of health insurance.
  Also before the Congress is an urgent unfinished agenda that I 
proposed earlier, including financial sector reform to make our banking 
system safer, sounder, and more internationally competitive; the 
America 2000 education reforms necessary to meet the national education 
goals, produce a new generation of American schools, and provide the 
choice and competition that will promote better performance and 
strengthen accountability; the National Energy Strategy to meet our 
Nation's energy needs through a combination of enhanced production, 
diversification of sources, and conservation, thereby enhancing our 
energy security; and legal reforms to reduce the litigiousness that 
unnecessarily adds to costs and stifles innovation and productivity.
  Successful completion of the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement 
on Tariffs and Trade and a North American free-trade agreement remain 
major priorities. I also urge congressional action on the Enterprise 
for the Americas Initiative. These market-opening initiatives will spur 
growth and create jobs.
  My program can be accommodated within the limits established in the 
budget agreement of 1990. I am also asking the Congress for budget 
process reforms: a line-item veto and caps on

[[Page 53]]

so-called mandatory programs to control the growth of government 
spending. Maintaining fiscal discipline is essential to reallocating 
resources toward investment in the future.
  These proposals are described in detail in the fiscal 1993 Budget, 
and in legislative proposals I am forwarding to the Congress. The 
Annual Report of the Council of Economic Advisers, which accompanies 
this Report, discusses the strengths of the U.S. economy and the 
challenges it faces in the short run and the long run. It also explains 
how my comprehensive economic growth proposals are designed to move us 
toward a more prosperous America.

                                                February 11, 1992.
     Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
     The Speaker, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: Pursuant to the permission granted in 
     Clause 5 of Rule III of the Rules of the U.S. House of 
     Representatives, I have the honor to transmit a sealed 
     envelope received from the White House at 2:54 p.m. on 
     Tuesday, February 11, 1992 and said to contain a message from 
     the President wherein he makes a 6-month periodic report on 
     the national emergency with respect to Iraq.
       With great respect, I am,
           Sincerely yours,
                                              Donnald K. Anderson,
                                  Clerk, House of Representatives.

Para. 12.6  national emergency with respect to iraq

  The Clerk then read the message from the President, as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  I hereby report to the Congress on the developments since my last 
report of July 26, 1991, concerning the national emergency with respect 
to Iraq that was declared in Executive Order No. 12722 of August 2, 
1990. This report is submitted pursuant to section 401(c) of the 
National Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. 1641(c), and section 204(c) of the 
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (``IEEPA''), 50 U.S.C. 
1703(c).
  Executive Order No. 12722 ordered the immediate blocking of all 
property and interests in property of the Government of Iraq (including 
the Central Bank of Iraq) then or thereafter located in the United 
States or within the possession or control of a U.S. person. In that 
order, I also prohibited the importation into the United States of goods 
and services of Iraqi origin, as well as the exportation of goods, 
services, and technology from the United States to Iraq. I prohibited 
travel-related transactions and transportation transactions to or from 
Iraq and the performance of any contract in support of any industrial, 
commercial, or governmental project in Iraq. U.S. persons were also 
prohibited from granting or extending credit or loans to the Government 
of Iraq.
  The foregoing prohibitions (as well as the blocking of Government of 
Iraq property) were continued and augmented on August 9, 1990, by 
Executive

[[Page 60]]

Order No. 12724 that I issued in order to align the sanctions imposed by 
the United States with United Nation Security Council Resolution 661 of 
August 6, 1990.
  1. Since my last report, important and rapid progress has been made in 
establishing the framework for processing U.S. and other nations' claims 
against Iraq for damages arising from its unlawful invasion and 
occupation of Kuwait. The Governing Council of the U.N. Compensation 
Commission has adopted criteria for various categories of claims, 
including small and large claims of individuals, claims of corporations, 
and claims of government and international organizations (including 
environmental damage and natural resource depletion claims). In 
addition, the Governing Council agreed to begin expedited consideration 
of claims of individuals for up to $100,000 as of July 1, 1992, and set 
July 1, 1993, as the deadline for filing this category of claims with 
the Commission.

  In a claims census conducted by the Treasury Department's Office of 
Foreign Assets Control (FAC) during the first quarter of 1991 pursuant 
to section 575.605 of the Iraqi Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR Part 575 
(``ISR''), reports of claims from approximately 1,100 U.S. nationals 
were received. Included were claims for items such as personal property 
looted or destroyed in Kuwait, loans or other obligations on which Iraq 
has defaulted, and lost future business or concession rights. Inasmuch 
as these claims have not been submitted to a formal claims resolution 
body, much less adjudicated, their actual aggregate value is not known.
  2. FAC has issued 199 specific licenses (51 since my last report) 
regarding transactions pertaining to Iraq or Iraqi assets. Specific 
licenses were issued for payment to U.S. or third-country creditors of 
Iraq, under certain narrowly defined circumstances, for pre-embargo 
import and export transactions. Additionally, licenses were issued for 
conducting procedural transactions such as the filing of legal actions 
and for legal representation. Pursuant to United Nations Security 
Council Resolutions 661, 666, and 687, specific licenses were also 
issued to authorize the exportation to Iraq of donated medicine, 
medical supplies, and food intended for humanitarian relief purposes.
  To ensure compliance with the terms of the licenses that have been 
issued, stringent reporting requirements have been imposed that are 
closely monitored. Licensed accounts are regularly audited by FAC 
compliance personnel and by deputized auditors from other regulatory 
agencies. FAC compliance personnel have also worked closely with both 
State and Federal bank regulatory and law enforcement agencies in 
conducting special audits of Iraqi accounts subject to the ISR.

  3. Various enforcement actions discussed in previous reports continue 
to be pursued, and additional investigations of possible violations of 
the Iraqi sanctions have been initiated. These are intended to deter 
future activities in violation of the sanctions. Additional civil 
penalty notices were issued during the reporting period for violations 
of the IEEPA and ISR with respect to attempted transactions involving 
Iraq, and substantial penalties were collected.
  After investigation by FAC and the U.S. Customs Service, a Virginia 
corporation and its export director were convicted in U.S. District 
Court for conspiracy and violations of the ISR. Investigation revealed 
that the corporation and its export director continued to engage in 
activities that were in violation of the Executive orders and the ISR 
after August 2, 1990. The corporation and its export director performed 
contracts in support of a government industrial project in Iraq, and 
engaged in prohibited transactions relating to travel by a U.S. person 
to Iraq. After conviction, the corporation was fined $50,000 and the 
export director sentenced to 5 months' incarceration, 5 months' 
supervised work release, and 2 years of supervised release administered 
by the Department of Justice.
  4. The various firms and individuals outside of Iraq in Saddam 
Hussein's procurement network continue to be investigated for possible 
inclusion in the FAC listing of individuals and organizations 
determined to be Specially Designated Nationals (``SDN's'') of the 
Government of Iraq. In practice, an Iraqi SDN is a representative, 
agent, intermediary, or front (whether open or covert) of the Iraqi 
government that is located outside of Iraq. Iraqi SDN's are Saddam 
Hussein's principal instruments for doing business in third countries, 
and doing business with them is the same as doing business with Saddam 
Hussein himself.
  Since the Iraqi government tends to operate its international fronts 
as interlocking networks of third-world countries and key individuals, 
the SDN program is an important tool in disrupting Saddam Hussein's 
nuclear, military, and technological acquisitions efforts. The impact 
is considerable: all assets with U.S. jurisdiction of parties found to 
be Iraqi SDN's are blocked; all economic transactions with SDN's by 
U.S. persons are prohibited; and the SDN individual or organization is 
exposed.
  5. The expenses incurred by the Federal Government in the 6-month 
period from August 2, 1991, through February 1, 1992, that are directly 
attributable to the exercise of powers and authorities conferred by the 
declaration of a national emergency with respect to Iraq are estimated 
at $2,992,210, most of which represents wage and salary costs for 
Federal personnel. Personnel costs were largely centered in the 
Department of the Treasury (particularly in FAC, the U.S. Customs 
Service, the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement, the 
Office of the Assistant Secretary for International Affairs, and the 
Office of the General Counsel), the Department of State (particularly 
in the Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs and the Office of the 
Legal Adviser), and the Department of Commerce (particularly in the 
Bureau of Export Administration and the Office of General Counsel).
  6. The United States imposed economic sanctions on Iraq in response 
to Iraq's invasion and illegal occupation of Kuwait, a clear act of 
brutal aggression. The United States, together with the international 
community, is maintain economic sanctions against Iraq because the 
Iraqi regime has failed to comply fully with binding United Nations 
Security Council resolutions calling for the elimination of Iraqi 
weapons of mass destruction, an end to the repression of the Iraqi 
civilian population, the release of Kuwaiti and other prisoners, and 
the return of Kuwaiti assets stolen during its illegal occupation of 
Kuwait. The U.N. sanctions remain in place; the United States will 
continue to enforce those sanctions.

  The Saddam Hussein regime continues to violate basic human rights by 
repressing the Iraqi civilian population and depriving it of 
humanitarian assistance. The United Nations Security Council passed 
resolutions that permit Iraq to sell $1.6 billion of oil under U.N. 
auspices to fund the provision of food, medicine, and other 
humanitarian supplies to the people of Iraq. Under the U.N. 
resolutions, the equitable distribution within Iraq of this assistance 
would be supervised and monitored by the United Nations and other 
international organizations. The Iraqi regime has refused to accept 
these resolutions and has thereby continued to perpetuate the suffering 
of its civilian population.
  The regime of Saddam Hussein continues to pose an unusual and 
extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the 
United States, as well as to regional peace and security. The United 
States will therefore continue to apply economic sanctions to deter 
Iraq from threatening peace and stability in the region, and I will

     the delivery of such temporary water supplies. Lands that are 
     subject to the ownership and acreage limitations of Federal 
     Reclamation law shall not be exempted from those limitations 
     because of the delivery of such temporary water supplies.
       (3) Treatment under reclamation reform act of 1982.--No 
     temporary contract entered into by the Secretary under this 
     section shall be treated as a ``contract'' as that term is 
     used in sections 203(a) and 220 of the Reclamation Reform Act 
     of 1982 (Public Law 97-293).
       (4) Amendments of existing contracts.--Any amendment to an 
     existing contract to allow a contractor to carry out the 
     provisions of this title shall not be considered a new and 
     supplemental benefit for purposes of the Reclamation Reform 
     Act of 1982 (Public Law 97-293).

     on average market yields on outstanding marketable 
     obligations of the United States with remaining periods to 
     maturity of one year occurring during the last month of the 
     fiscal year preceding the date of execution of the temporary 
     contract or,
       (2) in the case of existing facilities the rate as 
     authorized for that Federal Reclamation project or,
       (3) in the absence of such authorized rate, the interest 
     rate as determined by the Secretary of the Treasury as of the 
     beginning of the fiscal year in which construction was 
     initiated on the basis of the computed average interest rate 
     payable by the Treasury upon its outstanding marketable 
     public obligations which were neither due nor callable for 
     redemption for fifteen years from date of issue: Provided, 
     That for all deliveries of water for municipal and industrial 
     purposes from existing facilities to nonproject contractors, 
     the rate shall be as set forth in paragraph (1) of this 
     subsection.
       (d) Fish and Wildlife.--The Secretary may make water from 
     Federal Reclamation projects and nonproject water available 
     on a nonreimbursable basis for the purposes of protecting or

     operation of a Federal Reclamation project during drought 
     conditions. The Secretary may store and convey project and 
     nonproject water for fish and wildlife purposes, and may 
     provide conveyance of any such water for both State and 
     Federal wildlife habitat and for habitat held in private 
     ownership. The Secretary may make available water for these 
     purposes outside the authorized project service area. Use of 
     the Federal storage and conveyance facilities for these 
     purposes shall be on a nonreimbursable basis. Water made 
     available by the Secretary in 1991 from the Central Valley 
     Project, California, to the Grasslands Water District for the 
     purpose of fish and wildlife shall be nonreimbursable.
       (e) Nonproject Water.--The Secretary is authorized to store 
     and convey nonproject water utilizing Federal Reclamation 
     project facilities for use outside and inside the authorized 
     project service area for municipal and industrial uses, fish 
     and wildlife, and agricultural uses. Except in the case of 
     water supplied for fish and wildlife, which shall be 
     nonreimbursable, the Secretary shall charge the recipients of 
     such water for such use of Federal Reclamation project 
     facilities at a rate established pursuant to section 102(c) 
     of this Act.
       (f) Reclamation Fund.--The payment of capital costs 
     attributable to the sale of project or nonproject water or 
     the use of Federal Reclamation project facilities shall be

     to water users for the purposes of undertaking construction, 
     management, conservation activities, or the acquisition and 
     transportation of water consistent with State law, that can 
     be expected to have an effect in mitigating losses and 
     damages, including those suffered by fish and wildlife, 
     resulting from drought conditions. Such loans shall be made 
     available under such terms and conditions as the Secretary 
     deems appropriate: Provided, That the Secretary shall not

     ability to repay such loan within the term of the loan: 
     Provided further, That for all loans approved by the 
     Secretary under the authority of this section, the interest 
     rate shall be the rate determined by the Secretary of the 
     Treasury based on average market yields on outstanding 
     marketable obligations of the United States with periods to 
     maturity comparable to the repayment period of the loan. The 
     repayment period for loans issued under this section shall 
     not exceed fifteen years. The repayment period for such loans 
     shall begin when the loan is executed. Sections 203(a) and 
     220 of the Reclamation Reform Act of 1982 and sections 105 
     and 106 of Public Law 99-546 shall not apply to any contract 
     to repay such loan. The Secretary shall notify the Committee 
     on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate and the

Para. 17.8  commend lithuanian democracy

  Mr. HAMILTON moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following

       Whereas on February 16, 1918, a gathering of 200 Lithuanian 
     delegates first proclaimed that their country was independent 
     and that their government would be based on democratic 
     principles, and for this reason February 16 is considered to 
     be Lithuania's independence day;
       Whereas the people of Lithuania endured a 51-year foreign 
     rule which began as a result of the infamous Nazi-Soviet Pact 
     of 1939;
       Whereas the people of Lithuania courageously resisted the 
     imposed communist dictatorship and cultural repression of 
     this 51-year rule;
       Whereas the people of Lithuania were able to mobilize and 
     implement a nonviolent movement for social and political 
     change which came to be known as ``Sajudis'';
       Whereas the people of Lithuania supported and secured the 
     right of a free press in Lithuania during the waning days of 
     foreign rule;
       Whereas on February 24, 1990, Sajudis, the peoples' 
     movement, promoted through citizen action a peaceful 
     transition to independence and democracy by fully 
     participating in the first democratic election in Lithuania 
     in more than half a century;
       Whereas on March 11, 1990, the newly elected Lithuanian 
     parliament, fulfilling its mandate from the people of 
     Lithuania, declared the restoration of Lithuania's 
     independence and the establishment of a democratic state;
       Whereas the people of Lithuania and the civil servants of 
     the government of Lithuania persevered in the building of 
     democratic and independent institutions under conditions of 
     economic blockade and armed assaults for over 17 months;
       Whereas in January 1991, 10 months after the elected 
     Lithuanian parliament restored independence, the people and 
     government of Lithuania withstood a bloody assault against 
     their democratic institutions by foreign troops; and
       Whereas Lithuania's successful restoration of democracy and 
     independence is remarkable for its use of nonviolent 
     resistance to an oppressive regime: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That the Congress--
       (1) congratulates the people of Lithuania for their courage 
     and perseverance in using peaceful means to regain their 
     independence;
       (2) pledges its support for the people of Lithuania as they 
     establish and strengthen democratic institutions of 
     government and a free market economy; and
       (3) congratulates the people of Lithuania as they celebrate 
     their well-deserved independence day on February 16, 1992.

  The message also announced that the Senate had passed a bill of the

       S. 2166. An Act to reduce the Nation's dependence on 
     imported oil, to provide for the energy security of the

Para. 18.5  providing for the consideration of h.r. 4210

  Mr. DERRICK, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 374):

       Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this 
     resolution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule 
     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the State of the Union for the consideration 
     of the bill (H.R. 4210) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 
     1986 to provide incentives for increased economic growth and 
     to provide tax relief for families, and the first reading of 
     the bill shall be dispensed with. All points of order against 
     consideration of the bill are hereby waived. After general 
     debate, which shall be confined to the bill and the 
     amendments made in order by this resolution and which shall 
     not exceed two hours, to be equally divided and controlled by 
     the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
     Ways and Means, the bill shall be considered as having been 
     read for amendment under the five-minute rule. Immediately 
     upon the conclusion of the general debate and notwithstanding 
     any rule of the House, the Chair shall put the question, 
     without further debate, on adopting an amendment in the 
     nature of substitute consisting of the text of the bill H.R. 
     4210. No further amendment to the bill shall be in order 
     except the following amendments in this order: (1) an 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the 
     text of the bill H.R. 4200 as modified by the amendment in 
     section 2 of this resolution, to be offered by Representative 
     Michel of Illinois or Representative Archer of Texas or their 
     designee; and (2) an amendment in the nature of a substitute 
     consisting of the text of the bill H.R. 4287, to be offered 
     by Representative Rostenkowski of Illinois or his designee. 
     Both amendments shall be considered as having been read and 
     shall not be subject to amendment. Each amendment shall be 
     debatable for not to exceed one hour, to be equally divided 
     and controlled by the proponent and a Member opposed thereto. 
     All points of order against each amendment in the nature of a 
     substitute are hereby waived. If more than one amendment in 
     the nature of a substitute is adopted, only the last such 
     amendment which is adopted shall be considered as finally 
     adopted in the Committee of the Whole and reported back to 
     the House. At the conclusion of the consideration of the bill 
     for amendment, the Committee shall rise and report the bill 
     to the House with such amendment as may have been adopted, 
     and the previous question shall be considered as having been 
     ordered on the bill and amendment thereto final passage 
     without intervening motion except one motion to recommit, 
     which may not contain instructions.
       Sec. 2. At the end of line 25, page 14 of H.R. 4200, insert 
     the following new sentence: ``Notwithstanding any other 
     provision of this chapter, in the case of a taxpayer other 
     than a corporation, any amount treated as ordinary income 
     under this subsection shall be subject to tax at a rate not 
     in excess of 28 percent.''. 

  Pending consideration of said resolution,

Para. 18.6  point of order

  Mr. SOLOMON made a point of order against said resolution, and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order against the consideration of 
House Resolution 374 on grounds that it is in violation of clause 4(b) 
of House rule XI, and ask to be heard on my point of order.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I regret that I must again rise to make this point of 
order that the minority's right to offer a motion to recommit of its 
choosing is being violated. I thought I had assurances from your 
leadership that this right would not be further abridged pending a 
promised Rules Committee inquiry into the legislative history behind 
this rule.
  ``Mr. Speaker, as you will recall, on January 3, 1991, I transmitted 
to you, the majority leader, and the chairman and other members of the 
Rules Committee a 48-page report prepared by our Rules Committee 
minority staff entitled, `The Motion to Recommit in the U.S. House of 
Representatives: The Rape of a Minority Right.'
  ``That paper traces the legislative history and the intent behind the 
two rules at issue here, which were adopted by the House back in 1909.
  ``In essence, Mr. Speaker, that report documents that the two rules 
were specifically adopted to permit the minority the right to offer a 
motion to recommit of its own choosing, including one with 
instructions, so that it could go get a final vote on its position.
  ``Mr. Speaker, that report goes on to conclude that a 1934 precedent 
that has

[[Page 86]]

been relied on to deny the minority a right to offer recommittal 
instructions of its choosing was strongly decided and should be 
reversed.
  ``In my letter to the Speaker, I urged that the majority reconsider 
its policy of denying instructions in motions to recommit, and I quote:

       ``Thereby avoid future confrontations and points of order 
     over such a fundamental guarantee of fairness.

  ``It was my hope that on the basis of the clear historic record 
behind this rule and guarantee that the Committee on Rules would not 
deny us our immutable right in this 102d Congress. We were promised 
that. Unfortunately, that was not the case here today.
  ``Mr. Speaker, clause (b) of House rule XI provides, and I quote:

       `The Committee on Rules shall not report any rule or order 
     of business which would prevent the motion to recommit from 
     being made as provided in clause 4 of rule XVI.'

  ``That is the rule of this House. That is the rule that we live by 
and we have lived by for 80 years, and clause 4 of rule XVI provides, 
and again I quote, `After the previous question shall have been ordered 
on the passage of a bill or joint resolution, one motion to recommit,' 
and I am quoting, `shall be in order, and the Speaker,' Mr. Speaker, 
listen, `the Speaker shall give preference in recognition for such 
purpose to a Member who is opposed to the bill or the joint 
resolution.'
  ``Mr. Speaker, those two clauses were adopted as amendments to House 
rules on March 15, 1909, when the minority party, Democrat, that is 
right, they were in the minority, it may have been the last time they 
were in the minority, joined with a group of insurgent Republicans, can 
Members imagine, to guarantee greater minority rights. And yes, would 
it not be nice if Democrats and Republicans were joining together today 
on this economic growth package? God forbid, I guess.
  ``Mr. Speaker, prior to this rule's revision, the motion to recommit 
was controlled by the majority party and the minority had no rights. 
This change was instituted for the specific purpose of giving the 
minority a final vote on its alternative legislative proposal through a 
motion to recommit with instructions.
  ``That is so every Member, 435 Members, can have some say, some input 
into legislation.
  ``The rule before us right now, on the other hand, provides that the 
motion to recommit, and I quote, `may not contain instructions.' That 
means we cannot have a motion to recommit with or without instructions.
  ``It is, therefore, in direct violation of this rule, which was 
purposely designed to guarantee the minority a vote on its final 
proposition by way of instructions.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I will not again take your time and the time of this 
House to quote speaker after speaker after speaker over the last 80 
years who have ruled that the House, that this whole purpose of this 
rule was to protect the right of the minority to offer its final 
proposition to a bill.
  ``Mr. Speaker, that is just a plain fact that cannot be denied or 
ruled away by the way of the Speaker's gavel.
  ``Mr. Speaker, if the Chair overrules my point of order today, not 
only is the minority being denied the right to offer a final amendment 
to the bill, it is even being denied the right to offer general 
instructions that the Committee on Ways and Means, and listen to this, 
reconsider this bill with a view to developing a bipartisan compromise.
  ``Mr. Speaker, that completely flies in the face not only of the 
legislative history behind this rule but of common sense and common 
decency.
  ``Mr. Speaker, the motion to recommit may be the last opportunity to 
salvage an economic growth program in this Congress this year. Without 
instructions, a straight motion to recommit by implication kills the 
bill. I hope my colleagues are listening over there. It kills the bill.
  ``But with instructions, the House would have an opportunity to tell 
the Committee on Ways and Means to get back to work.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I strongly urge that the Chair not render this 
important minority right completely null and void by overruling my 
point of order. Leave this institution with some measure of dignity and 
respect for the rights of the minority.
  ``Mr. Speaker, as Speaker of this House you are required by the rules 
of this House and by the tradition of this body and, above all else, 
out of fairness to represent all of the Members of this House, and it 
is on behalf of all 435 Members of this House on both sides of the 
aisle that I respectfully ask to have my point of order sustained.''.

  Mr. DERRICK was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, the gentleman makes the point of order that the 
resolution is not in order because it limits the motion to recommit in 
violation of clause 4(b) of rule XI.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I respectfully disagree and ask the Chair to overrule 
the point of order.
  ``Clause 4(b) of rule XI prohibits the Committee on Rules from 
reporting a rule `which would prevent the motion to recommit from being 
made as provided in clause 4 of rule XVI.'
  ``Mr. Speaker, House Resolution 374 does not propose to prevent the 
minority from offering a motion to recommit, so it does not violate 
clause 4(b) of rule XI.
  ``It is now very well established under the precedents that the 
Committee on Rules may recommend special orders of business limiting 
instructions on the motion to recommit.
  ``This point was reaffirmed as recently as November 25, 1991, on June 
4, 1991, and also on October 16, 1990, when the House tabled by a vote 
of 251 to 171 an appeal of the Speaker pro tempore Murtha's overruling 
of a point 
identical to that raised by my Republican friend today.
  ``In a ruling on January 11, 1934, the Speaker Mr. Rainey stated 
that:

       `The Committee on Rules may, without violating this clause, 
     recommend a special order which limits but does not totally 
     prohibit a motion to recommit pending passage of a bill or 
     joint resolution such as precluding a motion containing 
     instructions relative to certain amendments.'

  ``Mr. Speaker, the precedents are clear and unequivocal. If a special 
order of business does not deprive the minority of its right to offer a 
simple motion to recommit the bill or joint resolution under 
consideration, then it does not violate clause 4(b) of rule XI. As the 
Speaker pro tempore noted on October 16, 1990, clause 4 of rule XVI 
does not guarantee that a motion to recommit a bill may always include 
instructions.
  ``I urge the point of order be overruled.''.

  Mr. WALKER was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from South Carolina [Mr. Derrick] has 
cited specific instances from the last few minutes as precedents for 
suggesting how the Chair should rule today. The gentleman from New York 
[Mr. Solomon] makes an absolutely valid point the Chair ought to take 
into consideration.
  ``At the time those rulings were made there was real question 
expressed about whether or not this was an appropriate course to be 
taken. The leadership of this House felt it was so questionable that 
they agreed to study it. The gentleman from New York received 
assurances that we would not proceed along this path until we had 
studied this matter and found out what the rights of the minority 
should be in these kinds of instances.
  ``Now what we have happening is that the very items that were 
considered questionable enough to call for that kind of study in the 
past are being cited as precedents for the Chair today.
  ``If the Chair ever wants to know why the minority feels at times 
that there is a dictatorial sense about the direction in which we are 
moving, this is a perfect example of where we have outrageous rulings 
which are questionable, which even the leadership questions, and then 
have those later on cited as precedents for action.
  ``That is precisely what is taking place here. I would hope that the 
Chair would not continue to rule in a manner which undermines minority 
rights.''.

  Mr. Derrick was further recognized to speak to the point of order, 
and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, we also, in addition to the precedents of recent date, 
rely on the January 11, 1934 decision. I think the rules clearly state 
that the minority is entitled to a motion to recommit, but they are not 
entitled without question to a motion to recommit with instructions.
  ``We have had this same point of order brought up by the 
distinguished

[[Page 87]]

gentleman from New York [Mr. Solomon] in the Committee on Rules, and 
ruled the same way, the chairman of the Committee on Rules did.''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MURTHA, overruled the point of order, 
and said:

  ``The gentleman from New York makes a point of order against House 
Resolution 374 on the ground that it violates clause 4(b) of rule XI, 
which provides that the Committee on Rules shall not report any rule or 
order of business that would prevent the motion to recommit from being 
made as provided in clause 4 of rule XVI.
  ``Clause 4 of rule XVI provides for one motion to recommit a bill or 
joint resolution after the previous question is ordered on final 
passage, with preference in recognition going to a Member who is 
opposed to the bill or joint resolution.
  ``The pending resolution provides that the motion to recommit H.R. 
4210 pending the question of its passage may not contain instructions. 
It does not impair a simple motion to recommit.
  ``The precedent of October 16, 1990, is precisely on point. On that 
occasion the Committee on Rules had reported a special order of 
business that precluded the inclusion of instructions in the motion to 
recommit a bill pending the question of its passage. The present 
occupant of the Chair overruled the point of order, relying on 
precedents of the House--specifically the ruling of Speaker Rainey on 
January 11, 1934--holding that the Committee on Rules does not violate 
clause 4(b) of rule XI so long as it does not deprive the minority of 
the right to offer a simple motion to recommit.
  ``Under the precedents a special order that does not preclude a 
simple motion to recommit does not `prevent the motion to recommit from 
being made as provided in clause 4 of rule XVI.' Clause 4 of rule XVI 
does not guarantee that a motion to recommit after the previous 
question is ordered on passage of a bill or joint resolution may always 
include instructions.
  ``The pending resolution does not `prevent the motion to recommit 
from being made as provided in clause 4 of rule XVI.' The Chair will 
follow the precedent of October 16, 1990. The point of order is 
overruled.''.

  Mr. SOLOMON appealed the ruling of the Chair.
  Mr. DERRICK moved to lay the appeal on the table.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House lay on the table the appeal of the ruling of the 
Chair?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MURTHA, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. SOLOMON objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken 
by electronic device.

     percent of the purchase price of the qualified equipment.

     provided by section 168(j) with respect to qualified 
     equipment in a taxable year, the basis of the qualified 
     equipment is reduced under section 1016 by the amount of the

     distributed to any distributee by any employees' trust 
     described in section 401(a) which is exempt from tax under 
     section 501(a) shall be taxable to the distributee, in the 
     taxable year of the distributee in which distributed, under 
     section 72 (relating to annuities).
       ``(b) Taxability of Beneficiary of Nonexempt Trust.--
       ``(1) Contributions.--Contributions to an employees' trust

     which the trust is not exempt from tax under section 501(a) 
     shall be included in the gross income of the employee in 
     accordance with section 83 (relating to property transferred 
     in connection with performance of services), except that the 
     value of the employee's interest in the trust shall be 
     substituted for the fair market value of the property for 
     purposes of applying such section.
       ``(2) Distributions.--The amount actually distributed or 
     made available to any distributee by any trust described in 
     paragraph (1) shall be taxable to the distributee, in the

       ``(A) Highly compensated employees.--If one of the reasons

     failure of the plan of which it is a part to meet the 
     requirements of section 401(a)(26) or 410(b), then a highly 
     compensated employee shall, in lieu of the amount determined

       ``(B) Failure to meet coverage tests.--If a trust is not

     meet the requirements of section 401(a)(26) or 410(b), this 
     subsection shall not apply by reason of such failure to any 
     employee who was not a highly compensated employee during--

     SEC. 357. SIMPLIFICATION OF NONDISCRIMINATION TESTS 
                   APPLICABLE UNDER SECTIONS 401(K) AND 401(M).

       (a) Cash or Deferred Arrangements.--
       (1) In general.--Paragraph (3) of section 401(k) (relating 
     to application of participation and discrimination standards) 
     is amended by redesignating subparagraphs (C) and (D) as 
     subparagraphs (D) and (E), respectively, and by striking 
     subparagraphs (A) and (B) and inserting the following:
       ``(A) In general.--A cash or deferred arrangement shall not 
     be treated as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement 
     unless--
       ``(i) those employees eligible to benefit under the 
     arrangement satisfy the provisions of section 410(b)(1),
       ``(ii) the actual deferral percentage of each eligible 
     highly compensated employee for the plan year does not exceed 
     200 percent of the average deferral percentage of nonhighly 
     compensated employees for the preceding plan year, and
       ``(iii) the actual deferral percentage of each eligible 
     highly compensated employee for the plan year does not exceed 
     the average deferral percentage of nonhighly compensated 
     employees for the preceding plan year by more than 3 
     percentage points.
       ``(B) Deferral percentages.--For purposes of this 
     paragraph--
       ``(i) Actual deferral percentage.--The actual deferral 
     percentage of any employee for a plan year is the percentage 
     which--

       ``(I) the amount of employer contributions actually paid 
     over to the trust on behalf of such employee for such plan 
     year, is of
       ``(II) the employee's compensation for such plan year.

       ``(ii) Average deferral percentage of nonhighly compensated 
     employees.--The average deferral percentage of nonhighly 
     compensated employees for any plan year is the average of the 
     actual deferral percentages for such plan year of all 
     eligible employees other than highly compensated employees.
       ``(C) Special rules.--
       ``(i) Election to use average deferral percentage for 
     highly compensated employee.--A plan may provide that in lieu 
     of satisfying the requirements of clauses (ii) and (iii) of 
     subparagraph (3)(A), a cash or deferred arrangement may be a 
     qualified cash or deferred arrangement if the average 
     deferral percentage for eligible highly compensated employees 
     for such year bears a relationship to the average deferral 
     percentage of nonhighly compensated employees for the 
     preceding plan year which meets either of the following 
     tests:

       ``(I) The average deferral percentage for the group of 
     eligible highly compensated employees is not more than the 
     average deferral percentage for nonhighly compensated 
     employees for the preceding plan year multiplied by 1.25.
       ``(II) The excess of the average deferral percentage for 
     the group of eligible highly compensated employees over the 
     average deferral percentage for nonhighly compensated 
     employees for the preceding plan year is not more than 2 
     percentage points, and the average deferral percentage for 
     the group of eligible highly compensated employees is not 
     more than the average deferral percentage for nonhighly 
     compensated employees for the preceding plan year multiplied 
     by 2.

     The average deferral percentage for the group of eligible 
     highly compensated employees is the average of the actual 
     deferral percentages for such plan year of all eligible 
     highly compensated employees.
       ``(ii) Special rule for first plan year.--In the case of 
     the first plan year of any plan, the amount taken into 
     account as the average deferral percentage of nonhighly 
     compensated employees for the preceding plan year shall be--

       ``(I) 3 percent, or
       ``(II) if the employer makes an election under this 
     subclause, the average deferral percentage of nonhighly 
     compensated employees determined for such first plan year.

       ``(iii) Aggregation of plans.--If 2 or more plans which 
     include cash or deferred arrangements are considered as 1 
     plan for purposes of section 401(a)(4) or 410(b), the cash or 
     deferred arrangements included in such plans shall be treated 
     as 1 arrangement for purposes of this paragraph. If any 
     highly compensated employee is a participant under 2 or more 
     cash or deferred arrangements of the employer, for purposes 
     of determining the actual deferral percentage with respect to 
     such employee, all such cash or deferred arrangements shall 
     be treated as 1 cash or deferred arrangement.
       ``(iv) Rules relating to election.--

       ``(I) In general.--The election to use the average deferral 
     percentage pursuant to subparagraph (C) shall be made, if at 
     all, with respect to the first plan year of the plan (or, if 
     later, the first plan year beginning after

[[Page 106]]

     February 1, 1992) and, once made, shall be irrevocable.
       ``(II) Consistency requirement.--The election to use the 
     average contribution percentage pursuant to section 
     401(m)(3)(C)(i) will be treated as an election to use the 
     average deferral percentage pursuant to subparagraph 
     (C)(i).''

       (2) Distribution of excess contributions.--Paragraph (8) of 
     section 401(k) is amended by striking subparagraphs (A), (B), 
     and (C), and inserting the following:
       ``(A) In general.--A cash or deferred arrangement shall not 
     be treated as failing to meet the requirements of clauses 
     (ii) and (iii) of paragraph (3)(A) (or clause (i) of 
     paragraph (3)(C)) for any plan year if, with respect to each 
     highly compensated employee having excess contributions for 
     such plan year, the amount of such excess contributions (and 
     any income allocable to such contributions) is distributed to 
     such employee before the close of the following plan year. 
     Any distribution of excess contributions (and income) may be 
     made without regard to any other provision of law.
       ``(B) Excess contributions.--For purposes of subparagraph 
     (A), the term `excess contributions' means, with respect to 
     any highly compensated employee for any plan year, the excess 
     of--
       ``(i) the aggregate amount of employer contributions 
     actually paid over to the trust on behalf of such employee 
     for such plan year, over
       ``(ii) the maximum amount of such contributions permitted 
     under the limitations of paragraph (3).
       ``(C) Plans that utilize averaging option.--A plan that 
     elects to use the average deferral percentage for highly 
     compensated employees as provided in paragraph (3)(C)(i) must 
     determine the maximum amount of contributions permitted under 
     the limits of paragraph (3)(C)(i) by reducing the 
     contributions made on behalf of highly compensated employees 
     in order of the actual deferral percentages beginning with 
     the highest of such percentages and distribute the excess 
     contributions to the highly compensated employees on the 
     basis of the respective portions of the excess contributions 
     attributable to each such employee. To the extent permitted 
     by regulations, an employee may elect to treat the amount of 
     excess contributions as an amount distributed to the employee 
     and then contributed by the employee to the plan.''
       (b) Nondiscrimination Test for Matching Contributions and 
     Employee Contributions.--
       (1) In general.--Subparagraph (A) of section 401(m)(2) 
     (relating to contribution percentage requirement) is amended 
     to read as follows:
       ``(A) Contribution percentage requirement.--A plan meets 
     the contribution percentage requirement of this paragraph for 
     any plan year only if--
       ``(i) the actual contribution percentage of each eligible 
     highly compensated employee for such plan year does not 
     exceed 200 percent of the average contribution percentage of 
     nonhighly compensated employees for the preceding plan year, 
     and
       ``(ii) the actual contribution percentage of each eligible 
     highly compensated employee for the plan year does not exceed 
     the average contribution percentage of nonhighly compensated 
     employees for the preceding plan year by more than 3 
     percentage points.''
       (2) Contribution percentages.--Paragraph (3) of section 
     401(m) is amended to read as follows:
       ``(3) Contribution percentages.--For purposes of this 
     subsection--
       ``(A) Actual contribution percentage.--The actual 
     contribution percentage of any employee for any plan year is 
     the percentage which--
       ``(i) the sum of the matching contributions and employee 
     contributions paid under the plan on behalf of such employee 
     for such plan year, is of
       ``(ii) such employee's compensation (within the meaning of 
     section 414(s)) for such plan year.
       ``(B) Average contribution percentage of nonhighly 
     compensated employees.--The average contribution percentage 
     of nonhighly compensated employees for any plan year is the 
     average of the actual contribution percentages for such plan 
     year of all eligible employees other than highly compensated 
     employees.
       ``(C) Special rules.--
       ``(i) Election to use average contribution percentage for 
     highly compensated employee.--A plan may provide that in lieu 
     of satisfying the requirements of paragraph (2)(A), a plan 
     meets the contribution requirement of this section if the 
     average contribution percentage for eligible highly 
     compensated employees for such year bears a relationship to 
     the average contribution percentage of nonhighly compensated 
     employees for the preceding plan year which meets either of 
     the following tests:

       ``(I) The average contribution percentage for the group of 
     eligible highly compensated employees is not more than the 
     average contribution percentage for nonhighly compensated 
     employees for the preceding plan year multiplied by 1.25.

     for the group of eligible highly compensated employees over 
     the average contribution percentage for nonhighly compensated 
     employees for the preceding plan year is not more than 2 
     percentage points, and the average contribution percentage 
     for the group of eligible highly compensated employees is not 
     more than the average contribution percentage for nonhighly 
     compensated employees for the preceding plan year multiplied 
     by 2.

     The average contribution percentage for the group of eligible 
     highly compensated employees is the average of the actual 
     contribution percentages for such plan year of all eligible 
     highly compensated employees.
       ``(ii) Certain contributions may be taken into account.--
     Under regulations, an employer may elect to take into account 
     under subparagraph (A)(i) elective deferrals and qualified 
     nonelective contributions under the plan or any other plan of 
     employer. If matching contributions are taken into account 
     for purposes of subsection (k)(3)(A) for any plan year, such 
     contributions shall not be taken into account under paragraph 
     (2) for such plan year.
       ``(iii) Special rule for first plan year.--Rules similar to 
     the rules of subsection (k)(3)(C)(ii) shall apply for 
     purposes of this subsection.
       ``(iv) Rules relating to elections.--

       ``(I) In general.--The election to use the average 
     contribution percentage pursuant to subparagraph (C) shall be 
     made, if at all, with respect to the first plan year of the 
     plan (or, if later, the first plan year beginning after 
     February 1, 1992) and, once made, shall be revocable only 
     with the consent of the Commissioner.
       ``(II) Consistency requirement.--The election to use the 
     average deferral percentage pursuant to section 
     401(k)(3)(C)(i) will be treated as an election to use the 
     average contribution percentage pursuant to subparagraph 
     (C)(i).''

       (3) Distribution of excess aggregate contributions.--
     Paragraph (6) of section 401(m) is amended--
       (A) by striking subparagraphs (A) and (B) and inserting the 
     following:
       ``(A) In general.--A plan shall not be treated as failing 
     to meet the requirements of paragraph (1) for any plan year 
     if, with respect to each highly compensated employee having 
     excess aggregate contributions for such plan year, the amount 
     of such excess aggregate contributions (and any income 
     allocable to such contributions) is distributed to such 
     employee before the close of the following plan year (or, if 
     forfeitable, is forfeited). Any distribution of excess 
     aggregate contributions (and income) may be made without 
     regard to any other provision of law.
       ``(B) Excess aggregate contributions.--For purposes of 
     subparagraph (A), the term `excess aggregate contributions' 
     means, with respect to any highly compensated employee for

     and employee contributions (and any qualified nonelective 
     contribution or elective contribution taken into account 
     under paragraph (3)(A)(i)) actually made on behalf of such 
     employee for such plan year, over
       ``(ii) the maximum amount of such contributions permitted 
     under the limitations of paragraph (2)(A).''
       ``(C) Plans that utilize averaging option.--A plan that 
     elects to use the average contribution percentage for highly 
     compensated employees as provided in paragraph (3)(C)(i) must 
     determine the maximum amount of contributions permitted under 
     the limits of paragraph (3)(C)(i) by reducing the 
     contributions made on behalf of highly compensated employees 
     in order of the actual contribution percentages beginning 
     with the highest of such percentages and distribute the 
     excess aggregate contributions to the highly compensated 
     employees on the basis of the respective portions of the 
     excess aggregate contributions attributable to each such 
     employee. Forfeitures of excess aggregate contributions may 
     not be allocated to participants whose contributions are 
     reduced under this paragraph.''
       (4) Conforming amendment.--Paragraph (9) of section 401(m) 
     is amended to read as follows:
       ``(9) Regulations.--The Secretary shall prescribe such 
     regulations as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of 
     this subsection and subsection (k), including regulations 
     permitting appropriate aggregation of plans and 
     contributions.''

     shall apply to plan years beginning on or after February 1, 
     1992.

     shall be included in the gross income of the employee in 
     accordance with section 83 (relating to property transferred 
     in connection with performance of services), except that the

     increases or decreases (whichever is appropriate) in the

     Internal Revenue Service with respect to the amortization of 
     any intangibles which were acquired by the taxpayer before 
     the date referred to in subparagraph (B), and

     distributed to any distributee by any employees' trust 
     described in section 401(a) which is exempt from tax under

     taxable year of the distributee in which distributed, under 
     section 72 (relating to annuities).
       ``(b) Taxability of Beneficiary of Nonexempt Trust.--
       ``(1) Contributions.--Contributions to an employees' trust

     which the trust is not exempt from tax under section 501(a) 
     shall be included in the gross income of the employee in 
     accordance with section 83 (relating to property transferred 
     in connection with performance of services), except that the 
     value of the employee's interest in the trust shall be

       ``(2) Distributions.--The amount actually distributed or 
     made available to any distributee by any trust described in

       ``(A) Highly compensated employees.--If 1 of the reasons a

       ``(B) Failure to meet coverage tests.--If a trust is not 
     exempt from tax under section 501(a) for any taxable year 
     solely because such trust is part of a plan which fails to 
     meet the requirements of section 401(a)(26) or 410(b), this 
     subsection shall not apply by reason of such failure to any 
     employee who was not a highly compensated employee during--

     increases or decreases (whichever is appropriate) in the

     allocation of such items among the partners (and the 
     applicability of any penalty, addition to tax, or additional 
     amount for which the partnership may be liable under section

     be, and shall be reviewable as such. The date of any such 
     determination shall be treated as being the date of the

     brought under this section is dismissed other than by reason

     have been allowable but for this section) and which is 
     acquired by the taxpayer after the date of the enactment of 
     this section, if--
       ``(i) the intangible was held or used at any time on or 
     after July 25, 1991, and on or before such date of enactment

     paragraph--
       ``(i) Related person.--A person (hereinafter in this

     paragraph is barred on the date of the enactment of this Act 
     or at any time within the 2-year period beginning on the date 
     on which such election is made by any law or rule of law, 
     such deficiency may, nevertheless, be assessed if such

     taxpayer,
       (ii) there was an agreement between the taxpayer and the 
     Internal Revenue Service with respect to the amortization of 
     any intangibles which were acquired by the taxpayer before 
     the date referred to in subparagraph (B), and
       (iii) as of February 14, 1992, there was an active dispute 
     between the taxpayer and the Internal Revenue Service by 
     reason of the Internal Revenue Service taking a position 
     inconsistent with such agreement,

       (2) Development of explanatory materials.--The Secretary 
     shall develop materials explaining the circumstances under

  The bill, as amended, was ordered to be engrossed and read a third 
time, was read a third time by title.
  Mr. ARCHER moved to recommit the bill to the Committee on Ways and 
Means with the recommendation that it amend the bill in an open and 
bipartisan manner with a view to producing legislation the President can 
sign that will provide economic stimulus and job creation incentives 
without increasing taxes or the deficit.
  Pending consideration of said motion,

Para. 19.16  point of order

  Mr. ROSTENKOWSKI made a point of order against the motion to recommit, 
and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order against the motion to recommit 
because it is a motion that is allowed neither under the rule, nor under 
the rules of the House.''.

  Mr. ARCHER was recognized to speak to the point of order, and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, under House Resolution 374, the rule providing for the 
consideration of H.R. 4210, one motion to recommit is allowed which may 
not contain instructions.
  ``The motion to recommit which I have offered is in compliance with 
that proviso: I have offered a motion to recommit which does not contain 
instructions. It simply contains a recommendation that the Ways and 
Means Committee do certain things. The committee is under no mandate to 
do so as it would be if it were subject to instructions from the House.
  ``And let me make very clear that there is a distinct difference 
between an instruction and a recommendation. According to Webster's New 
World Dictionary, an instruction is, and I quote, `a command or order,' 
and in the plural, ``details of procedure; directions.''
  ``A recommendation, on the other hand, is `the act * * * of calling 
attention to a person or thing as suited for some purpose; advice or 
counsel.' In summary, Mr. Speaker, an instruction is a mandatory 
command, while a recommendation is a discretionary giving of advice.
  ``Mr. Speaker, the Chair ruled yesterday that there is nothing in 
House rule XVI, clause 4, that guarantees the right of the minority to 
offer instructions in a motion to recommit. Using that same logic, there 
is nothing in that clause which prohibits the minority from offering a 
recommendation in the motion to recommit.
  ``It is true that House rule XVII does provide that pending the motion 
for the previous question or after it is ordered on the passage of a 
measure, it is in order for the Speaker, and I quote, ``to entertain and 
submit a motion to commit, with or without instructions, to a standing 
or select committee.'' That rule clearly allows for only one of two 
types of motions to recommit: a straight motion and one with 
instructions.
  ``However, we are not operating under rule XVII today since the rule 
does not allow for a previous question motion on the passage of this 
bill. Under the rule for this bill, House Resolution 374, the previous 
question is

[[Page 256]]

considered to have been automatically ordered. We are, therefore, 
clearly operating instead under House rule XVI which provides that, and 
I quote, `After the previous question shall have been ordered on a bill 
or joint resolution one motion to recommit shall be in order, and the 
Speaker shall give preference in recognition for such purpose to a 
Member who is opposed to the bill or joint resolution.'
  ``Nowhere in that rule is the Member confined to offering either a 
straight motion to recommit or one with instructions. It does provide 
that if a motion to recommit with instructions is offered, there shall 
be 10 minutes of debate on the motion. All that means is that such 
debate may not take place on a straight motion or on the motion to 
recommit with recommendation which I have offered.
  ``Finally, I would emphasize, Mr. Speaker, that the motion to recommit 
under rule XVI was intentionally adopted in 1909, to provide the 
minority an opportunity to express its final position on a bill. While 
we are precluded by the rule from either amendatory or general 
instructions, this motion to recommit with recommendation is consistent 
with the original intent of the rule to give us a last chance to offer 
our position. I urge the Chair to allow this motion as the right of the 
minority.''.

  The SPEAKER sustained the point of order, and said:

  ``The gentleman from Illinois [Mr. Rostenkowski] makes a point of 
order against the motion to recommit H.R. 4210 offered by the gentleman 
from Texas [Mr. Archer] on the ground that it includes language 
recommending that the Committee on Ways and Means `amend the bill in an 
open and bipartisan manner with a view toward producing legislation the 
President can sign.'
  ``The motion to recommit a bill to a standing committee is addressed 
in specific and general terms in clause 4 of rule XVI and clause 1 of 
rule XVII. Both rules contemplate that the motion may in some 
circumstances include instructions. Clause 4 of rule XVI states that 
`with respect to any motion to recommit with instructions * * * it shall 
always be in order to debate such motion for 10 minutes * * *.' Clause 1 
of rule XVII states that pending the motion for the previous question 
the Speaker may entertain a motion to commit, `with or without 
instructions * * *.'
  ``Neither rule XVI nor rule XVII--nor any other rule of the House--
recognizes a form of motion to recommit `with recommendation.' Rule XVI 
and the precedents of the House do not admit motions other than those 
mentioned in and made in order by the rules of the House.
  ``Moreover, the precedents hold that argument is not in order in a 
motion to recommit. On this point the Chair is guided by the ruling of 
Speaker Gillet on November 29, 1922, substaining a point of order 
against a motion to recommit with instructions that included descriptive 
matter that might be construed as agrumentative. That ruling is recorded 
in volume 8 of Cannon's precedents, at section 2749. Similarly, on June 
3, 1882, Speaker Keifer held that a motion to recommit should not 
contain matter in the nature of debate, by preamble or otherwise. That 
rules is recorded in volume 5 of Hinds' precedents, at section 5589.
  ``The cited precedents are consistent with the principle in clause 4 
of rule XVI that the motion to recommit a bill or joint resolution after 
the previous question is ordered on final passage is rendered debatable 
only by the inclusion of instructions.
  ``Finally the Chair would refer to the ruling of yesterday, February 
26, 1992. The gentleman from New York [Mr. Solomon] made a point of 
order against House Resolution 374 on the ground that it violates clause 
4(b) of rule XI, which provides that the Committee on Rules shall not 
report any rule or order of business that would prevent the motion to 
recommit from being made as provided in clause 4 of rule XVI. The Chair 
held that the Committee on Rules does not violate clause 4(b) of rule XI 
so long as it does not deprive the minority of the right to offer a 
simple motion to recommit. In making that ruling the Chair expressly 
stated that House Resolution 374 properly guaranteed a simple motion to 
recommit.
  ``The motion to recommit offered by the gentleman from Texas [Mr. 
Archer] includes matter that might properly be construed as argument. As 
such, it is not a proper motion and is held out of order.''.

  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House pass said bill?
  Mr. ROSTENKOWSKI demanded that the vote be taken by the yeas and nays, 
which demand was supported by one-fifth of the Members present, so the 
yeas and nays were ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device.

It was decided in the

     Commissioner for Refugees and the governments of the member 
     countries of the Organization of American States (OAS) in the 
     convening of an international conference on Haitian refugees 
     and displaced persons which seeks to adopt a comprehensive 
     program of action to solve the Haitian refugee crisis in all 
     its aspects, taking into account the concerns of all 
     interested parties and the rights and welfare of Haitian 
     refugees and displaced persons.

     subsection (b) shall be ineligible to receive any visa and 
     shall be excluded from admission into the United States.
       (b) Designated Alien.--An alien designated under this 
     subsection is any alien who--
       (1) is a national of Haiti; and
       (2)(A) provided financial or other material support for, or 
     directly assisted, the military coup of September 30, 1991, 
     which overthrew the democratically-elected Haitian Government

     the United States under this Act.

     SEC. 8. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       The Congress urges the President and the Attorney General

     impacted, disproportionately, with respect to the provision 
     of services for Haitian refugees and displaced persons 
     entering the United States.

     SEC. 9. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       It is the sense of the Congress that the President, in

     States--

       (A) to provide security for human rights monitors,
       (B) to provide protection for Haitians repatriated from 
     abroad, and
       (C) to assist in establishing a climate of security in 
     Haiti in which the rights of all persons will be respected; 
     and
       (2) to send human rights monitors to Haiti, under the aegis 
     of an appropriate international human rights organization 
     such as the United Nations Human Rights Commission or the 
     Inter-American Human Rights Commission, to assess and report 
     to the international community concerning internationally-
     recognized human rights in Haiti.

     Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
     The Speaker, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: Pursuant to the permission granted in 
     Clause 5 of Rule III of the Rules of the U.S. House of 
     Representatives, I have the honor to transmit three sealed 
     envelope received from the White House at 4:40 p.m. on 
     Monday, March 2, 1992 as follows:
       (1) Said to contain H.R. 2212, An Act regarding the 
     extension of most-favored-nation treatment to the products of 
     the People's Republic of China, and for other purposes, and a 
     veto message thereon;
       (2) Said to contain a message from the President whereby he 
     transmits the Annual Report on Hazardous Materials 
     Transportation for calendar year 1990;
       (3) Said to contain a message from the President whereby he 
     transmits the Agreement between the United States of America 
     and the Republic of Finland on Social Security.
       With great respect, I am
           Sincerely yours,
                                              Donnald K. Anderson,
                                 Clerk, House of Representatives. 

Para. 21.6  u.s.-finland social security agreement

  The Clerk then read the message from the President, as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  Pursuant to section 233(e)(1) of the Social Security Act, as amended 
by the Social Security Amendments of 1977 (Public Law 95-216; 42 U.S.C. 
433(e)(1)), I transmit herewith the Agreement between the United States 
of America and the Republic of Finland on Social Security, which 
consists of two separate instruments--a principal agreement and an 
administrative arrangement. The agreement was signed at Helsinki on June 
3, 1991.
  The United States-Finland agreement is similar in objective to the 
social security agreements already in force with Austria, Belgium, 
Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, 
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Such bilateral 
agreements provide for limited coordination between the United States 
and foreign social security systems to eliminate dual social security 
coverage and taxation, and to help prevent the loss of benefit 
protection that can occur when workers divide their careers between two 
countries.
  I also transmit for the information of the Congress a report prepared 
by the Department of Health and Human

[[Page 266]]

Services, providing explanation of the key points of the agreement, 
along with a paragraph-by-paragraph explanation of the provisions of the 
principal agreement and the related administrative arrangement. In 
addition, as required by section 433(e)(1) of the Social Security Act, a 
report on the effect of the agreement on income and expenditures of the 
U.S. Social Security program and the number of individuals affected by 
the agreement is also enclosed. I note that the Department of State and 
the Department of Health and Human Services have recommended the 
agreement and related documents to me.
  I commend the Agreement between the United States of America and the 
Republic of Finland on Social Security and related documents.
                                                          George Bush.

Para. 21.22  message from the president--veto of h.r. 2212

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, laid before the House a message 
from the President, which was read as follows:

To the House of Representatives:
  I am returning herewith without my approval H.R. 2212, the ``United 
States-China Act of 1991,'' which places additional conditions on 
renewal of China's most-favored-nation (MFN) trade status.
  The sponsors of H.R. 2212 believe they can promote broad economic and 
foreign policy objectives in China by placing conditions on the renewal 
of China's MFN status. They expect that the

[[Page 268]]

Chinese will improve respect for human rights, cooperate in arms 
control, and drop barriers to trade, given a choice between losing MFN 
and addressing these concerns.
  Let me state at the outset that my Administration shares the goals and 
objectives of H.R. 2212. Upholding the sanctity of human rights, 
controlling the spread of weapons of mass destruction, and free and fair 
trade are issues of vital concern. My objection lies strictly with the 
methods proposed to achieve these aims.
  There is no doubt in my mind that if we present China's leaders with 
an ultimatum on MFN, the result will be weakened ties to the West and 
further repression. The end result will not be progress on human rights, 
arms control, or trade. Anyone familiar with recent Chinese history can 
attest that the most brutal and protracted periods of repression took 
place precisely when China turned inward, against the world.
  Recent agreements by the Chinese to protect U.S. intellectual property 
rights, to abide by the Missile Technology Control Regime Guidelines, to 
accede to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty by April, and to discuss 
our human rights concerns--after years of stonewalling--are the clear 
achievements of my Administration's policy of comprehensive engagement.
  We have the policy tools at hand to deal with our concerns effectively 
and with realistic chances for success. The Administration's 
comprehensive policy of engagement on several separate fronts invites 
China's leadership to act responsibly without leaving any doubts about 
the consequences of Chinese misdeeds. Our approach is one of targeting 
specific areas of concern with the appropriate policy instruments to 
produce the required results. H.R. 2212 would severely handicap U.S. 
business in China, penalizing American workers and eliminating jobs in 
this country. Conditional MFN status would severely damage the Western-
oriented, modernizing elements in China, weaken Hong Kong, and 
strengthen opposition to democracy and economic reform.
  We are making a difference in China by remaining engaged. Because the 
Congress has attached conditions to China's MFN renewal that will 
jeopardize this policy, I am returning H.R. 2212 to the House of 
Representatives without my approval. Such action is needed to protect 
the economic and foreign policy interests of the United States.
                                                          George Bush.  
  The White House, March 2, 1992.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, by unanimous consent, ordered 
that the veto message together with the accompanying bill, be printed 
(H. Doc. 102-197) and spread upon the pages of the Journal of the House.
  On motion of Mr. ROSTENKOWSKI, by unanimous consent, further 
consideration of the veto message was postponed until Wednesday, March 
11, 1992.

Para. 21.25  message from the president--fish imports prohibition

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. BACCHUS, laid before the House a message 
from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  Pursuant to the provisions of subsection (b) of the Pelly Amendment to 
the Fishermen's Protective Act of 1967, as amended (22 U.S.C. 1978(b)), 
I am reporting to you that the Secretary of Commerce reported to me that 
shipments of yellowfin tuna or products derived from yellowfin tuna 
harvested by Venezuela in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (ETP) have 
been prohibited from the countries of Costa Rica, France, and Italy 
since June 25, 1991.
  The Secretary's letter to me is deemed to be a certification for the 
purposes of subsection (a) of the Pelly Amendment. Subsection (a) 
requires that I consider and, at my discretion, order the prohibition of 
imports into the United States of fish and fish products from Costa 
Rica, France, and Italy to the extent that such prohibition is 
consistent with the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. Subsection 
(b) requires me to report to the Congress within 60 days following 
certification on the actions taken pursuant to the certification; if all 
fish imports have not been prohibited, the report must state the reasons 
for so doing.
  After thorough review, I have determined that sanctions against Costa 
Rica, France, and Italy will not be imposed at this time while we 
continue to work toward an international dolphin conservation program in 
the ETP. Costa Rica, France, and Italy will continue to be certified. I 
will make further reports to you as developments warrant.
                                                          George Bush.

  The SPEAKER laid before the House a communication, which was read as 
follows:

                                               Washington, DC,

                                                    March 6, 1992.
     Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
     The Speaker, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: Pursuant to the permission granted in 
     Clause 5 of Rule III of the Rules of the U.S. House of 
     Representatives, I have the honor to transmit a sealed 
     envelope received from the White House at 4:42 p.m. on 
     Friday, March 6, 1992 and said to contain a message from the 
     President wherein he transmits his statement with regard to 
     the attached Summary Report of the 1991 White House 
     Conference on Libraries and Information Services.
       With great respect, I am
           Sincerely yours,
                                              Donnald K. Anderson,
                                  Clerk, House of Representatives.

Para. 24.5  white house conference on library and information services

  The Clerk then read the message from the President, as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  I am pleased to transmit to you the Summary Report of the 1991 White 
House Conference on Library and Information Services and my 
recommendations on its contents as mandated by the Congress in Public 
Law 100-382, section 4.
  The world has changed dramatically since the last White House 
Conference on Library and Information Services. The thirst for freedom 
has swept aside the acceptance of tyranny. New and amazing technologies 
have made ideas accessible to everyone. Books, faxes, computer disks, 
and television and news broadcasts have ended the reign of ignorance and 
helped create a whole new world of enterprise, competition and, with it, 
intellectual growth.
  Library and information services are vital because they help ensure a 
free citizenry and a democratic society. It was appropriate that the 
1991 Conference addressed three major themes of great concern to our own 
society: literacy, productivity, and democracy. These three issues are 
now more important than ever as we work to raise our Nation's 
educational level, to make the American work force preeminent in the 
world, and to serve as an example to the rest of the world regarding the 
benefits of a democratic society. We live in exciting times with our 
world changing daily. Not only are we on the verge of revolutions in 
educational practice and workplace improvements, but technology is 
helping to change the very way in which we learn and work. Library and 
information services are at the center of this change with new 
sophisticated technologies that not only improve the quality of 
information but actually make it more accessible to the people who need 
it. It was the realization that library and information services are in 
a period of rapid change that prompted the establishment of the 1991 
White House Conference on Library and Information Services.
  Participants at the White House Conference considered the themes of 
literacy, productivity, and democracy, and how library and information 
services can contribute significantly to the achievement of those goals. 
The 984 delegates to the Conference included librarians, information 
specialists, and community leaders. They represented all the States and 
territories and the Federal library community. Prior to the Conference, 
there had been innumerable pre-Conference forums involving more than 
100,000 Americans. These meetings produced 2,500 initial proposals 
regarding library and information services. The Conference delegates 
deliberated on 95 consolidated proposals before making their final 
recommendations. I wish to commend the National Commission on Libraries 
and Information Science for its key role in making the Conference a 
success. The recommendations, thoughtfully considered by the delegates 
to the Conference, are intended to help frame national library and 
information service policies for the 1990s.


           the importance of library and information services

  Library and information services have always played a significant role 
in our society. From colonial times forward, our libraries have 
acquired, preserved, and disseminated information to Americans. Today 
libraries and information services are expanding their roles and, with 
the advent of new technology, changing the ways in which we use and 
share information. As we move toward the new century, we should 
acknowledge the contributions that libraries have made and will continue 
to make in the years ahead.
  A particular strength of our libraries and information services is 
that they are locally controlled. Whether in the public or private 
sector, these services are best maintained at the local level where they 
can be most responsive to citizens and where they can adapt to new local 
needs. Likewise, the States have a long tradition of fostering the 
development and expansion of library services to all citizens. In 
combination, both local and State governments are the primary supporters 
of our Nation's libraries and information services. The Federal role in 
library and information services has been one of encouraging and 
leveraging State and local support to expand the availability of library 
services to all Americans.


                                literacy

  The quest for the future begins with literacy. Literacy is a goal that 
we must make every effort to achieve. It has been estimated that 23 
million adult Americans are functionally illiterate, lacking skills 
beyond the fourth-grade level, with another 35 million semiliterate, 
lacking skills beyond the eighth-grade level. The effects of illiteracy 
in this Nation are staggering as people find themselves shut out of 
opportunities and as our governments struggle to find ways to assist 
these disadvantaged individuals.
  My Administration is committed to improving education for all 
Americans. With broad bipartisan support, we are moving rapidly to 
implement strategies to achieve our six National Education Goals. These 
Goals, developed cooperatively with the Nation's Governors, address 
critical education issues ranging from ensuring our children start 
school ready to learn and attaining a 90 percent high school graduation 
rate, to being first in the world in math and science, demonstrating 
competency in core subject areas, and ensuring safe, disciplined, and 
drug-free schools. Goal five states that by the year 2000, ``Every adult 
in America will be literate and will possess the skills necessary to 
compete in a global economy and exercise the rights and responsibilities 
of citizenship.'' As we pursue education reform across America, one of 
our emphases must be on a literate America. To that end, I have 
consistently worked for an increase in Federal efforts for literacy 
programs. Our national education strategy, AMERICA 2000, is designed to 
help achieve all of the goals, and libraries, serving as community 
centers, can therefore play a major role in helping communities and 
schools across the country reach the goals.
  The Conference recommendations include several statements that also 
address the literacy issue. I would urge the Members of Congress to 
review these suggestions carefully and to consider them in any future 
deliberations regarding literacy and library and information services.


                              productivity

  Today's workplace demands a new definition of the term productivity.

[[Page 291]]

Rather than a traditional perspective that measures the production of 
items, we must recognize that we now live in an Information Age. In 
today's Information Age, many of our workers are knowledge workers who 
create and use information in totally new environments and in totally 
new ways. What we must do is to ensure that these workers achieve 
maximum productivity in their efforts.
  The White House Conference recommendations regarding productivity are 
varied and far-reaching. Of perhaps greatest significance is the 
support shown for a national network for information sharing. The 
recent passage of the High-Performance Computing Act of 1991 responds 
directly to this recommendation and is a major step in the direction of 
increased productivity for American workers. Other recommendations 
address copyright statutes and business information centers, both of 
which would have a positive impact upon the efforts of American 
business and employees.
  My Administration is committed to the full employment and increased 
productivity of the American work force. We can, and we must, become 
the most skilled work force in the world if we are to remain preeminent 
in today's global economy. Throughout the Federal Government, efforts 
are being made to bring to Americans the kinds of resources that they 
need to improve their on-the-job effectiveness. For example, within the 
Department of Education, an information resource for teachers, parents, 
and communities is being developed. To be known as SMARTLine, this data 
base will contain the best of education research and practice. This 
resource will be available locally--through schools and community 
libraries--to educators and parents who want to improve classroom 
instruction methods and to raise the education levels of our children.


                               democracy

  An informed populace is a great guarantee that our democratic way of 
life will continue and flourish. Recent events have shown us that 
people in other countries are struggling to emulate what we have known 
for the past two centuries. The free flow of information in countries 
all over the world and especially in Eastern Europe has played a 
strategic role in releasing people from the bondage of ignorance.
  Library and information services provide an infrastructure by which 
we can obtain information and can contribute to our democratic way of 
life. In our country, there are more than 30,000 public, academic, and 
special libraries, and there are an estimated 74,000 school libraries 
and media centers. These library and information centers are the links 
between our citizens and the information that they need. These 
libraries provide the kind of ongoing education that each man, woman, 
and child will need in order to remain a fully productive and fully 
participating citizen.
  The 1991 White House Conference on Library and Information Services 
has generated many worthwhile recommendations. Clearly these ideas 
illustrate not only the changing role of libraries, but also the 
revolutionary changes affecting our own society. As our culture 
changes, so must the institutions that serve it. The Conference Report 
makes it clear that library and information services are changing 
rapidly in response to an increasingly complex and global society. As 
we strive for a more literate citizenry, increased productivity, and 
stronger democracy, we must make certain that our libraries and 
information services will be there to assist us as we lead the 
revolution for education reform. As I stated in my speech at the White 
House Conference, ``Libraries and information services stand at the 
center of this revolution.''

  So the resolution was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said resolution was agreed to 
was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.

Para. 27.20  privileges of the house--house of representatives ``bank''

  Mr. EDWARDS of Oklahoma, rose to a question of the privileges of the 
House and submitted the following privileged resolution (H. Res. 397):

       Whereas, disclosure of the banking activities of House 
     Members who held accounts in the House Bank during the period 
     under investigation by the Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct should be full and complete; and
       Whereas, full disclosure is not possible now because not 
     all accounts have been adequately reconstructed to reflect 
     action taken by the account holder and by Bank officials and 
     tellers; and
       Whereas, the Report of the Committee on Standards of 
     Official Conduct to accompany H. Res. 393 cited irregular and 
     unprofessional practices by House Bank employees that may 
     have contributed to the frequency of overdrafts; and
       Whereas, a full accounting is needed of official House Bank 
     policies, routine informal practices of House Bank employees 
     that deviated from or were not covered by official rules, and 
     each case in which employees failed to follow official or 
     informal procedures, and the effect of such failures on 
     Members' balances; and
       Whereas, Members of Congress are now being denied access to 
     their own personal bank records: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That (1) immediately upon passage of this 
     resolution, the Speaker shall direct the House Sergeant at 
     Arms, the General Accounting Office, and any other body under 
     his control with information relevant to Members' House Bank 
     account histories, to reconstruct the complete account 
     histories of all Members and former Members who had accounts 
     for the 39 month period beginning July 1, 1988 and ending 
     October 3, 1991 that have not already been reconstructed in 
     coordination with the Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct, and
       (2) that, after giving each Member an opportunity to be 
     heard by the subcommittee which conducted the inquiry and 20 
     days after passage of this resolution, the Committee on 
     Standards of Official Conduct is authorized to publicly 
     disclose the reconstructed account history of every Member of 
     the House, and
       (3) that, within 20 days of passage of this resolution, the 
     Speaker of the House shall direct the House Sergeant at Arms, 
     the General Accounting Office, and any other body under his 
     control with information relevant to Members' House Bank 
     account histories or House Bank practices, to provide a full 
     and complete report of the official policies of the House 
     Bank over the 39 month period in question; a full and 
     complete account of the procedures that were not official but 
     were informally and routinely followed by bank employees 
     (including instances where informal practices deviated from 
     official policies), and a full and complete account of every 
     instance in which the Bank failed to follow either its own 
     official procedures or routine and regular informal 
     procedures, and a case by case report of the effect that such 
     deviations have had on Members' account balances, and.
       (4) that, within 48 hours of the passage of this 
     resolution, the Speaker of the House, through the House 
     Sergeant at Arms, the GAO, and any other body under his 
     control with information relevant to Members account 
     histories, provide to each Member of the House a full 
     disclosure of that Member's account history with the House 
     Bank.

  Mr. GEPHARDT moved to refer the resolution to the Committee on 
Standards of Official Conduct.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. GEPHARDT, the previous question was ordered.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House refer said resolution?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. BONIOR, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. EDWARDS of Oklahoma demanded a recorded vote on agreeing to said 
motion, which demand was supported by one-fifth of a quorum, so a 
recorded vote was ordered.

     successfully fulfilled its promise to the people of El 
     Salvador made on its first day in office that it will bring 
     peace to the country;
       Whereas the signing of the formal cease-fire agreements 
     represents not only the end of the armed conflict but the 
     beginning of a process to consolidate peace and democracy in 
     El Salvador;
       Whereas the Salvadoran people have declared February 1, 
     1992, the date of the signing of the formal cease-fire, to be 
     National Peace Day;
       Whereas the success of the Salvadoran negotiating process, 
     with the active and indispensable contribution of the United 
     Nations, can provide a model for the resolution of other 
     conflicts around the world;
       Whereas the United States has played a significant role in

     process of consolidating peace, democracy, and economic and 
     social development.

       (1) the United States should commit itself to providing 
     appropriate assistance to the government and people of El 
     Salvador that promotes the process of reconstruction, 
     reconciliation, and further strengthening of democracy and 
     democratic institutions;
       (2) the United States should commit itself to seeking and

     diversity, marine pollution, threats to the world's supply of 
     freshwater, and rapid population growth, are high priority

       Whereas reducing poverty and promoting sustainable economic 
     growth and sound environmental management in the developing 
     world are also high priority concerns of the United States;

     challenges will require increased international cooperation 
     between developing countries and developed countries, as well 
     as strengthened international institutions;

     Development, to be held in Brazil in June 1992, represents an 
     important opportunity to reach agreements on such 
     international cooperation;

     Development should be viewed as a milestone in a continuing 
     process of improving the international response to the issues 
     within its purview;

     the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development 
     is crucial to its success; and

     consistent with national sovereignty considerations, the

       (1) place the highest priority on the success of the United

     loss;

     and monitoring compliance by all multilateral institutions 
     with requirements for environmental impact assessment;
       (5) seek to initiate a process of regular, highlevel

     consideration at UNCED and to establish improved 
     organizational and procedural means to implement the 
     objectives of UNCED;
       (6) support programs aimed at encouraging a global 
     transition to efficient and environmentally sustainable 
     energy systems, including priority on more efficient 
     transportation systems and renewable sources of energy;
       (7) support new programs and institutions to help 
     developing countries become more energy efficient and 
     otherwise increase their capacity for acquiring and using 
     technology to make their economies more environmentally 
     sustainable, such as training and research centers for energy 
     efficiency and renewable energy sources;
       (8) support global goals of slowing deforestation of 
     primary forests, increasing worldwide forest cover, and 
     preserving a specified amount of mature forests, and increase 
     support for improved forest strategies that integrate all 
     policy issues related to the loss of forests and eliminate 
     economic incentives for deforestation;
       (9) support the effective implementation of a global action 
     plan to raise the economic, educational, and leadership 
     status of women;

     developing country debt burdens;
       (12) support the development of a reformed system of 
     national accounting that would reflect the full economic 
     costs of environmental and resource degradation and the 
     benefits of the sustainable use of natural resources;
       (13) promote public participation in environmental and 
     development decisions at all levels including a right for 
     communities to be fully informed on the environmental threats

       (14) support programs that provide maternal and child 
     health care, education and training especially for women, and

together with the amendments of the Senate thereto, was taken from the 
Speaker's table.
  When on motion of Mr. ROSTENKOWSKI, it was,
  Resolved, That the House disagree to the amendments of the Senate and 
agree to the conference asked by the Senate on the disagreeing votes of 
the two Houses thereon.
  Ordered, That the Clerk notify the Senate thereof.

Para. 30.7  motion to instruct conferees--h.r. 4210

  Mr. ARCHER moved that the managers on the part of the House at the 
conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on H.R. 4210, be 
instructed not to agree to either those provisions in section 3001 of 
the Senate amendment which would impose a new tax rate of 36% on 
individuals, or those provisions in sections 3001 and 3002 of the House 
bill which would impose a new tax rate of 35% on individuals and 
increase the alternative minimum tax rate for individuals, as those 
provisions are committed to conference.
  After debate,
  Mr. WALKER submitted a preferential motion that the House lay on the 
table the motion to instruct conferees.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to the motion to lay on the table the motion to 
instruct?
  Mr. WALKER objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken by 
electronic device.

Para. 30.16  communication from the clerk--messages from the president

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, laid before the House a 
communication, which was read as follows:

                                               Washington, DC,

                                                   March 17, 1992.
     Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
     The Speaker, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: Pursuant to the permission granted in 
     Clause 5 of Rule III of the Rules of the U.S. House of 
     Representatives, I have the honor to transmit two sealed 
     envelopes received from the White House at 2:42 p.m. on 
     Tuesday, March 17, 1992 and said to contain the following:
       (1) A message from the President whereby he transmits the 
     Science and Technology Report and Outlook, 1989-1990; and
       (2) A message from the President whereby he transmits the 
     text of a proposed Agreement for Cooperation between the 
     United States of America and the Republic of Poland 
     Concerning Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy and related 
     documents.
       With great respect, I am
           Sincerely yours,
                                               Donald K. Anderson,
                                  Clerk, House of Representatives.

Para. 30.17  science and technology outlook

  The Clerk then read the message from the President, as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  I am very pleased to submit the Science and Technology Report and 
Outlook: 1989-1990 as required by the National Science and Technology 
Policy, Organization, and Priorities Act of 1976 (42 U.S.C. 6615).
  The report reinforces and highlights that strong and vigorous support 
for our Nation's science and technology has been one of the central 
policies of this Administration. In addition to providing a general 
record of accomplishments, the report also suggests a number of 
possibilities in the form of an outlook for the future in key areas of 
science and technology.
  The Federal Government's science- and technology-related activities 
support our Nation's quest to ensure a high quality of life for current 
citizens and future generations by meeting national needs, investing for 
the future, exploring intellectual, social, and physical frontiers, 
building on the fundamentally international character of science and 
technology, and strengthening math and science education.
  The various chapters illuminate selected areas essential for meeting 
national needs. There is a focus on international competitive advantage, 
national security, global environmental needs, foreign policy, 
biotechnology, and information technology. Each chapter describes the 
area's key features, its policy relevance, and major components for 
which detailed strategies, policies, programs, and budgets have been or 
are being designed and implemented.
  Science, as Vannevar Bush pointed out nearly half a century ago, is an 
endless frontier. Exploiting the opportunities of that frontier has 
helped to strengthen this Nation and the entire world in the past and 
can continue to in the future. This Administration believes that seizing 
these opportunities in science and technology and securing their 
benefits to the United States require policies that are forward-looking 
and reflect a rapidly evolving world. This Administration also believes 
that these objectives require vigorous initiatives in the private 
sector, continued excellence in academic research, and sustained 
progress in education.
  In many ways, investment in science and technology reflects a deep-
seated American belief in the possibility of a better future. With 
concerted action, that future--that endless frontier--lies within our 
reach.
                                                          George Bush.  
  The White House, March 17, 1992.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.

Para. 30.18  u.s. and poland uses of nuclear energy

  The Clerk then read the message from the President, as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  I am pleased to transmit to the Congress, pursuant to sections 123 b. 
and 123 d. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 
2153(b), (d)), the text of a proposed Agreement for Cooperation Between 
the United States of America and the Republic of Poland Concerning 
Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy with accompanying annex and agreed 
minute. I am also pleased to transmit my written approval, 
authorization, and determination concerning the agreement, and the 
memorandum of the Director of the United States Arms Control and 
Disarmament Agency with the Nuclear Proliferation Assessment Statement 
concerning the agreement. The joint memorandum submitted to me by the 
Secretary of State and the Secretary of Energy, which includes a summary 
of the provisions of the agreement and various other attachments, 
including agency views, is also enclosed.
  The proposed agreement with the Republic of Poland has been negotiated 
in accordance with the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended by the 
Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of 1978 and as otherwise amended. In my 
judgment, the proposed agreement meets all statutory requirements and 
will advance the non-proliferation and other foreign policy interests of 
the United States. It provides a comprehensive framework for peaceful 
nuclear cooperation between the United States and Poland under 
appropriate conditions and controls reflecting our strong common 
commitment to nuclear non-proliferation goals.
  Poland has consistently supported international efforts to prevent the 
spread of nuclear weapons. It was an original signatory of the Non-
Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and has strongly supported the Treaty. It is 
committed to implementing a responsible nuclear export policy, and 
declared in January 1978 that it intended to apply a full-scope 
safeguards nuclear export requirement. Poland supports the work of the 
NPT Exporters (``Zangger'') Committee and adheres to the Nuclear 
Supplier Guidelines. It is a member of the International Atomic Energy 
Agency (IAEA) and has played a positive role in the Agency's safeguards 
and technical cooperation activities. It has also cooperated with the 
United States and other like-minded members in working to prevent the 
politicization of the Agency. Poland is a party to the Convention on 
the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material.

  I believe that peaceful nuclear cooperation with Poland under the 
proposed agreement will be fully consistent with, and supportive of, 
our policy of responding positively and constructively to the process 
of democratization and economic reform in Eastern Europe. Cooperation 
under the agree-

[[Page 314]]

ment will also provide opportunities for U.S. business on terms that 
fully protect vital U.S. national security interests.
  I have considered the views and recommendations of the interested 
agencies in reviewing the proposed agreement and have determined that 
its performance will promote, and will not constitute an unreasonable 
risk to, the common defense and security. Accordingly, I have approved 
the agreement and authorized its execution and urge that the Congress 
give it favorable consideration.
  Because this agreement meets all applicable requirements of the 
Atomic Energy Act, as amended, for agreements for peaceful nuclear 
cooperation, I am transmitting it to the Congress without exempting it 
from any requirement contained in section 123 a. of that Act. This 
transmission shall constitute a submittal for purposes of both sections 
123 b. and 123 d. of the Atomic Energy Act. The Administration is 
prepared to begin immediately the consultations with the Senate Foreign 
Relations and House Foreign Affairs Committees as provided in section 
123 b. Upon completion of the 30-day continuous session period provided 
for in section 123 b., the 60-day continuous session period provided 
for in section 123 d. shall commence.
                                                         George Bush.  
  The White House, March 17, 1992.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and ordered to 
be printed (H. Doc. 102-205).

Para. 30.19  message from the president--action agency

                                                          George Bush.

                                     Office of the Postmaster,

                                   Washington, DC, March 19, 1992.

       It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve the Members of

       Thank you.
           Sincerely,
                                                   Robert V. Rota,
                                                       Postmaster.

  The resignation was accepted.

Para. 31.8  point of personal privilege

  Mr. LIGHTFOOT rose to a question of personal privilege.
  The SPEAKER, pursuant to clause 1 of rule IX, recognized Mr. LIGHTFOOT 
for one hour.
  Mr. LIGHTFOOT made the following statement:

  ``Mr. Speaker. I rise today because I, like a number of my colleagues, 
feel that my reputation as a Member of Congress has been damaged by the 
actions of the House bank and the office of the Sergeant at Arms.
  ``This weekend, after going through and reviewing my canceled checks 
from the House bank, I discovered at least 60 that had been held by the 
bank without their ever notifying me.
  ``The key word is ``held.'' They were not bounced. My monthly 
statements have been juggled by the House bank, so I never knew the 
actions they had taken.
  ``For whatever reason, as most of you know, we are paid by the 
Sergeant at Arms. Our checks are issued on the 30th of the month. they 
are to be deposited to our account the following day, which is the 1st 
of the next month. But for whatever reason, many times those paychecks 
were not credited to my account for 4 or 5 or 6 days after the 1st of 
the month. I assumed that my paycheck was where it was supposed to be, 
in my account, under my name.
  ``Specifically, the House bank frequently held checks for 4 to 6 days. 
In one instance the House bank held my tax refund check. Now, this is a 
check from the U.S. Treasury, which we assume is good. They held it for 
5 days, or 6 days, actually, before they credited it to my account.
  ``Assuming that my refund was in my bank account, I continued to write 
checks against the account. As those came in the House bank held them. 
They did not bounce them, they held them.
  ``As an old ex-police officer, a few flags started to fly as things 
started to unfold. First of all, as more and more Members are talking 
about their personal experiences, we find that there is a common theme 
that has developed through much of what is being said.
  ``That is, that deposits, for whatever reason, were not credited at 
the time they were put in the House bank.
  ``I have had colleagues tell me of 15 days since the time they went 
down and made the deposit to the time it was credited to their account, 
15 days expired. Had this been a real bank, I am sure that the Federal 
examiners would have closed it down. But the big question, I guess, 
that comes to my mind, and the one that I think has to be answered, 
what or who was doing what with our money when it was not credited to 
our accounts?
  ``Where did my paycheck go on the first of July, when I did not get 
credit for it until the fifth? Was it credited to somebody else's 
account? Was it used to cover the deficits of those known abusers that 
we have here which have been uncovered through the Committee on 
Standards of Official Conduct, where we reconstructed some 66 accounts 
and found abusers, that there is proof that they did in fact abuse the 
bank and deliberately wrote overdrafts month after month after month? 
Were they using my money to cover those overdrafts and then holding my 
check until enough of them came in the bank that decided, well, we 
better pay up on this guy? So they paid my checks and then reached over 
to this gentleman's or this gentleman's account and took some more 
money out? What were they doing with that money?
  ``To me that is the key question that needs to be answered at this 
point in time. I tried to explain this to the media back home. I have a 
tape recording of the news conference that we held, and I certainly did 
not say what the headline says.
  ``It says, `I Bounced 60, But It Wasn't My Fault.'
  ``I never said that, but that is what the news media chose to write. 
Also in the roughly 7 years that we have been in this House, we have, I 
think, done a few decent things for our State. We saved a major highway 
that was going into another State. We have got a lot of improvements 
going on roads and airports and waterways and sewer systems and rural 
water districts and so on. Never made the front page of this newspaper. 
But with this little cartoon, wherever it went, we finally got on the 
front page for something that we did not do.
  ``The irony of it is that there is a feeding fest going on because 
for some reason the whole judicial system has been turned around, as it 
pertains to Members of Congress. We are all guilty until we prove 
ourselves innocent, and then every time we try to explain it, we are 
just trying to cover up and blame it on somebody else. I think there is 
a way that we can get to this central question and we can do it very 
quickly.
  ``Today I am going to send a letter around to the entire House 
membership. In that letter I am going to ask them to join me in 
requesting the U.S. Attorney's Office to undertake a criminal 
investigation of the House bank. Yes, I said criminal investigation of 
the House bank. Because for one, I want to know where were my deposits 
when they were not in my account. What was that money used for?
  ``It is my understanding that there is something in the neighborhood 
of a $2 million a day float. Where did the interest off of that money 
go? These are the questions that the folks in the Press Gallery should 
be asking, rather than trying to skewer Members of Congress simply 
because we chose to get in this job and someone mishandled our personal 
finances for us.
  ``I am certain there are Members who did write overdrafts, and I 
would be hard-pressed, I think, to find anybody that could say 100 
percent that they had not because we all do make mistakes. But when an 
institution of the House takes individual Members and juggles their 
financial accounts around, for whatever the reason might be, be in just 
plain laziness and sloppiness or be it for criminal reasons, that is 
wrong. Particularly when it smears the reputations and the names or 
Republicans and Democrats alike, who

[[Page 318]]

had no evil in their heart, no intent to do anything wrong, and did 
nothing wrong other than they got elected to Congress and chose to use 
the facilities that were provided for us here.
  ``The only thing we get out of this world with is our name and our 
reputation, and there is a lot of good men and women of both political 
stripes who are being smeared because a few, in my opinion, evil, mean-
spirited, corrupt, arrogant people decided they were going to run some 
kind of a scam with our money and they would never get caught.
  ``Unfortunately, the trap has fallen on the wrong folks. I ask 
Members from the Democratic side of the aisle as well to join us or 
join me, rather, in signing this letter. I have a great deal of respect 
for my Democratic colleagues. Many of them are good friends. Even when 
we disagree over political issues, that is what this whole game is all 
about. We still have respect for each other as decent men and women and 
citizens of this country, and I think we all have the good interests of 
this country at heart.
  ``One of the proudest days of my life was back in January 1985, when 
I stood somewhere about right in here. At that time my son, who is now 
14, stood beside me and he held his hand up when I held up mine, and we 
took the oath of office.
  ``Never did I ever imagine in my wildest dreams that trying to do 
something to help other people would end up in this kind of a 
situation.
  ``I am still proud to be a Member of this House, even though we may 
have low esteem in all the polls that are taken. As the history of this 
body shows, the House of Representatives can and does do great things 
for the American people when we work together in the fashion that we 
are supposed to.
  ``The fact of the matter is, today many Members of Congress are being 
questioned by the actions of the people who ran the House bank, the 
Sergeant at Arms. This body cannot begin to win back the respect of the 
American people until we clean up that mess and clean it up thoroughly.
  ``I realize the cause of every overdraft was not rotten bank 
procedures. People make mistakes, but some Members of this House 
knowingly wrote bad checks. I think they have been identified. There 
must be a differentiation made between the abusers and those who were 
caught in this particular mess. Their constituents will make their own 
decisions.
  ``The problem is, their constituents are not being told the truth. 
But there are a great many of us on both sides of the aisle who have 
been caught in the middle, and I would appeal to my colleagues today to 
join me in trying to get to the bottom of this mess, be they Republican 
or Democrat, because I think if we want to extend it one step further, 
not only are individuals being smeared but in my opinion the name of 
this great country is being smeared. There is a tarnish on the eagle 
because of the actions of a few. And until we get to the bottom of it, 
it is not going to change.
  ``This House is not going to change it. It has to be some outside 
independent, objective set of eyes that takes a look at the whole 
situation. Now we have the post office scandal. Some other questions, I 
guess, that come to mind, as an old ex-policeman, how much of the post 
office scandal is tied into the House bank? Where did they launder the 
cocaine money?
  ``There is a lot of good, strong legal questions. And if I were a 
reporter today, I think I would be out trying to win a Pulitzer Prize 
getting to the bottom of it.''.

                   INTO ACCOUNT.

       ``(a) Adjustments Flow Through to Partners for Year in 
     Which Adjustment Takes Effect.--
       ``(1) In general.--If any partnership adjustment with 
     respect to any partnership item takes effect (within the 
     meaning of subsection (d)(2)) during any partnership taxable 
     year and if an election under paragraph (2) does not apply to 
     such adjustment, such adjustment shall be taken into account 
     in determining the amount of such item for the partnership 
     taxable year in which such adjustment takes effect. In 
     applying this title to any person who is (directly or 
     indirectly) a partner in such partnership during such 
     partnership taxable year, such adjustment shall be treated as 
     an item actually arising during such taxable year.
       ``(2) Partnership liable in certain cases.--If--
       ``(A) a partnership elects under this paragraph to not take 
     an adjustment into account under paragraph (1),
       ``(B) a partnership does not make such an election but in 
     filing its return for any partnership taxable year fails to 
     take fully into account any partnership adjustment as 
     required under paragraph (1), or
       ``(C) any partnership adjustment involves a reduction in a 
     credit which exceeds the amount of such credit determined for 
     the partnership taxable year in which the adjustment takes 
     effect,
     the partnership shall pay to the Secretary an amount 
     determined by applying the rules of subsection (b)(4) to the 
     adjustments not so taken into account and any excess referred 
     to in subparagraph (C).
       ``(3) Offsetting adjustments taken into account.--If a 
     partnership adjustment requires another adjustment in a 
     taxable year after the adjusted year and before the 
     partnership taxable year in which such partnership adjustment 
     takes effect, such other adjustment shall be taken into 
     account under this subsection for the partnership taxable 
     year in which such partnership adjustment takes effect.
       ``(4) Coordination with part ii.--Amounts taken into 
     account under this subsection for any partnership taxable 
     year shall continue to be treated as adjustments for the 
     adjusted year for purposes of determining whether such 
     amounts may be readjusted under part II.
       ``(b) Partnership Liable for Interest and Penalties.--
       ``(1) In general.--If a partnership adjustment takes effect 
     during any partnership taxable year and such adjustment 
     results in an imputed underpayment for the adjusted year, the 
     partnership--
       ``(A) shall pay to the Secretary interest computed under 
     paragraph (2), and
       ``(B) shall be liable for any penalty, addition to tax, or 
     additional amount as provided in paragraph (3).
       ``(2) Determination of amount of interest.--The interest 
     computed under this paragraph with respect to any partnership 
     adjustment is the interest which would be determined under 
     chapter 67--
       ``(A) on the imputed underpayment determined under 
     paragraph (4) with respect to such adjustment, or
       ``(B) for the period beginning on the day after the return 
     due date for the adjusted year and ending on the return due 
     date for the partnership taxable year in which such 
     adjustment takes effect (or, if earlier, in the case of any 
     adjustment to which subsection (a)(2) applies, the date on 
     which the payment under subsection (a)(2) is made).

     Proper adjustments in the amount determined under the 
     preceding sentence shall be made for adjustments required for 
     partnership taxable years after the adjusted year and before 
     the year in which the partnership adjustment takes effect by 
     reason of such partnership adjustment.
       ``(3) Penalties.--A partnership shall be liable for any 
     penalty, addition to tax, or additional amount for which it 
     would have been liable if such partnership had been an 
     individual subject to tax under chapter 1 for the adjusted 
     year and the imputed underpayment determined under paragraph 
     (4) were an actual underpayment (or understatement) for such 
     year.
       ``(4) Imputed underpayment.--For purposes of this 
     subsection, the imputed underpayment determined under this 
     paragraph with respect to any partnership adjustment is the 
     underpayment (if any) which would result--
       ``(A) by netting all adjustments to items of income, gain, 
     loss, or deduction and--
       ``(i) if such netting results in a net increase in income, 
     by treating such net increase as an underpayment equal to the 
     amount of such net increase multiplied by the highest rate of 
     tax in effect under section 1 or 11 for the adjusted year, or
       ``(ii) if such netting results in a net decrease in income, 
     by treating such net decrease as an overpayment equal to such 
     net decrease multiplied by such highest rate, and
       ``(B) by taking adjustments to credits into account as 
     increases or decreases (whichever is appropriate) in the 
     amount of tax.

     For purposes of the preceding sentence, any net decrease in a 
     loss shall be treated as an increase in income and a similar 
     rule shall apply to a net increase in a loss.
       ``(c) Administrative Provisions.--
       ``(1) In general.--Any payment required by subsection 
     (a)(2) or (b)(1)(A)--
       ``(A) shall be assessed and collected in the same manner as 
     if it were a tax imposed by subtitle C, and
       ``(B) shall be paid on or before the return due date for 
     the partnership taxable year in which the partnership 
     adjustment takes effect.
       ``(2) Interest.--For purposes of determining interest, any 
     payment required by subsection (a)(2) or (b)(1)(A) shall be 
     treated as an underpayment of tax.
       ``(3) Penalties.--
       ``(A) In general.--In the case of any failure by any 
     partnership to pay on the date prescribed therefor any amount 
     required by subsection (a)(2) or (b)(1)(A), there is hereby 
     imposed on such partnership a penalty of 10 percent of the 
     underpayment. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the 
     term `underpayment' means the excess of any payment required 
     under this section over the amount (if any) paid on or before 
     the date prescribed therefor.
       ``(B) Accuracy-related and fraud penalties made 
     applicable.--For purposes of part II of subchapter A of 
     chapter 68, any payment required by subsection (a)(2) shall 
     be treated as an underpayment of tax.

     section--
       ``(1) Partnership adjustment.--The term `partnership 
     adjustment' means any adjustment in the amount of any 
     partnership item of a large partnership.
       ``(2) When adjustment takes effect.--A partnership 
     adjustment takes effect--
       ``(A) in the case of an adjustment pursuant to the decision 
     of a court in a proceeding brought under part II, when such 
     decision becomes final,

     regulations, appropriate adjustments in the application of 
     this section shall be made for purposes of taking into 
     account partnership adjustments which involve a change in the 
     character of any item of income, gain, loss, or deduction.

     taxable year,
       ``(2) the Secretary makes a determination with respect to

     the Secretary is authorized to send a notice of adjustment 
     reflecting such determination to the taxpayer by certified or

     level determinations as described in section 
     6230(a)(2)(A)(i)) for the taxable year to which the notice of

     the taxable year is finally determined, or any such item 
     ceases to be a partnership item pursuant to section 6231(b), 
     and
       ``(B) as a result of that final determination or cessation, 
     a deficiency can be determined with respect to the items that

     deficiency under section 6212 and any petition filed in 
     respect of the notice shall be treated as an action brought 
     under section 6213.
       ``(4) Finally determined.--For purposes of this subsection, 
     the treatment of partnership items shall be treated as 
     finally determined if--

                  TITLE VI--HEALTH CARE OF COAL MINERS

     SEC. 6001. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Coal Industry Retiree 
     Health Benefit Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 6002. FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF POLICY.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) coal provides a significant portion of the energy used 
     in the United States;
       (2) the production, transportation and use of coal affects 
     interstate and foreign commerce and the national public 
     interest;
       (3) a significant portion of the national work force has 
     been employed in the production of coal for interstate and 
     foreign commerce and in the national interest;
       (4) the Government of the United States has regulated the 
     coal industry, employment in the industry, and the provision 
     of retirement benefits within the industry;
       (5) the continued well-being and security of employees, 
     retirees and their dependents within the coal industry are 
     directly affected by the provision of health benefits to 
     retirees and their dependents;
       (6) for many decades, the provision of adequate health care 
     for retirees has been an essential element in maintaining a 
     stable and strong coal industry as an important component in 
     a strong United States economy;
       (7) an important element in the privately maintained 
     benefit plans now experiencing financial difficulty has been 
     the provision of health benefits for retirees of companies no 
     longer in business; and
       (8) withdrawals of contributing employers from privately 
     maintained benefit plans under collective bargaining 
     agreements derived from an agreement with the United States, 
     covering retirees within the coal industry, result in 
     substantially increased funding burdens for employers that 
     continue to contribute to such plans, adversely affect labor-
     management relations and the stability and strength of the 
     coal industry, and impair the provision of health care to 
     retirees.
       (b) Additional Findings.--The Congress further finds that--
       (1) it is necessary to modify and reform the current 
     private benefit plan structure for retirees within the coal 
     industry in order to stabilize the provision of health care 
     benefits to such retirees; and
       (2) it is necessary to supplement the current private 
     benefit plan structure with a benefit protection program that 
     will assure continued funding and contain program costs.
       (c) Declaration of Policy.--It is hereby declared to be the 
     policy of this title--
       (1) to remedy problems that discourage the provision, 
     funding, and delivery of health care to coal industry 
     retirees;
       (2) to provide reasonable protection for the health 
     benefits of coal industry retirees;
       (3) to require use of state-of-the-art cost containment and 
     managed care measures as part of the overall package of 
     health care delivery and financing; and
       (4) to provide a financially self-sufficient program for 
     the provision of retiree health benefits in the coal 
     industry.

     or otherwise as the Corporation shall determine, as to all 
     the facts and circumstances concerning the matter to be 
     investigated.
       ``(2) The Corporation shall keep strictly confidential all 
     information received relating to--
       ``(A) trade secrets or financial or commercial information 
     pertaining specifically to a given person, the disclosure of 
     which could cause competitive injury to such person, or
       ``(B) personnel or medical data or similar data, the 
     disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted 
     invasion of personal privacy,

     issue an order requiring such person to appear before the 
     Corporation, and to produce records or to give testimony 
     related to the matter under investigation or in question. Any 
     failure to obey such order of the court may be punished by

     in section 9721(d). The 1991 Fund shall provide coverage for 
     death benefits to retirees, equal to the death benefits 
     provided under the plan described in section 9721(c).
       ``(2) The joint board of trustees of the 1991 Fund shall 
     develop managed care rules, subject to section 9714(b), which 
     shall be applicable to the payment of benefits under this 
     section. The rules shall preserve freedom of choice while 
     reinforcing managed care network use by allowing a point of 
     service decision as to whether a network medical provider 
     will be used. The board of trustees shall permit any last 
     signatory operator subject to section 9714 to utilize the 
     managed care and cost containment rules and programs 
     developed pursuant to this paragraph, at the election of such 
     last signatory operator. Major elements of such rules shall 
     include, but not be limited to--
       ``(A) implementing formulary for drugs and subjecting the 
     prescription program to a rigorous review of appropriate use;
       ``(B) obtaining a unit price discount in exchange for 
     patient volume and preferred provider status, with the amount 
     of the potential discount varying by geographic region;
       ``(C) limiting benefit payments to physicians to the 
     medicare allowable charge, while protecting beneficiaries 
     from balance billing by providers;
       ``(D) utilizing medicare's `appropriateness of service' 
     protocols in the claims payment function where they are more 
     stringent;
       ``(E) creating mandatory utilization review (UR) 
     procedures, but placing the responsibility to follow such 
     procedures on the physician or hospital, not the 
     beneficiaries;
       ``(F) selecting the most efficient physicians and state-of-
     the-art utilization management techniques, including 
     ambulatory care techniques, for medical services delivered by 
     the managed care network; and
       ``(G) utilizing a managed care network provider system as 
     practiced in the health care industry at the time medical 
     services are needed (point-of-service) in order to receive 
     maximum benefits available under this section.

     Any managed care or cost containment program shall have as 
     its primary goal the provision of quality medical care. In no 
     event shall any such program result in the reduction of the 
     quality of care provided to participants and beneficiaries 
     consistent with sound medical practice.
       ``(d) Assessments.--
       ``(1) As of November 30 of each plan year, the joint board 
     of trustees of the 1991 Fund shall set a monthly assessment 
     for each person required to pay assessments pursuant to 
     paragraph (2). The monthly assessment for each such person 
     shall be equal to \1/12\ of the product of--
       ``(A) the projected cost of operating the 1991 Fund during 
     the succeeding plan year (less any assets received from a 
     plan described in section 9721(c) and any other surplus 
     assets) divided by the number of participants and 
     beneficiaries for the current plan year; and
       ``(B) the projected number of the 1991 Funds' eligible 
     participants and beneficiaries attributable to such person, 
     determined as of the nearest November 1.

     In projecting the cost of operating the 1991 Fund, the board 
     of trustees shall take into account the anticipated benefit 
     experience and administrative expenses of the 1991 Fund as a 
     whole, and amounts needed to eliminate any accumulated 
     deficit. The monthly assessment determined under this 
     paragraph shall be verified by an independent auditor, and 
     shall continue in effect for each month of the succeeding 
     plan year, except that the joint board of trustees shall 
     determine a monthly assessment for any new contributor or 
     other person for whom a monthly assessment has not been 
     established, and a revised monthly assessment for any last 
     signatory operator that makes the election described in 
     subsection (b)(1)(B) and with respect to which new 
     participants and beneficiaries become eligible for benefits. 
     Any new monthly assessment or revised monthly assessment 
     shall be based upon the number of projected participants and 
     beneficiaries attributable to the contributor as of the date 
     the new or revised assessment is made. Each person required 
     to pay assessments pursuant to paragraph (2) shall continue 
     to pay to the plans described in section 9721(d) the 
     contributions required under the applicable coal wage 
     agreement, until the first month for which the assessment 
     described in this paragraph in set. In no event shall a 
     person required to pay assessments pursuant to paragraph (2) 
     be required to make any payment to the 1991 Fund for the same 
     period for which a contribution to a plan described in 
     section 9721(d) is required.

     coverage through the 1991 Fund, shall pay to the 1991 Fund 
     for each month the assessment determined by the joint board 
     of trustees pursuant to paragraph (1). The assessments paid 
     under this section shall be deemed to be fully deductible 
     under this title without regard to any limitation on 
     deductibility set forth in this title.

     provide health care benefits to coal mine retirees shall be 
     obligated to provide benefits to individuals covered by the 
     plans described in section 9721(d), or to make contributions 
     to any plan described in section 9721(d), or to the 1991

     to appoint and remove 2 individuals who shall serve on the 
     panel. A panel member shall be either a medical practitioner 
     knowledgeable in managed care, or an individual who is expert

     implementation of the system, and shall, on the same date or 
     prior to such submission, provide notice of the submission to 
     the participants of the affected employee benefit plan or 
     plans. The last signatory employer or the joint board of 
     trustees may implement the proposed system on a provisional 
     basis on or after the 120th day after the submission to the 
     panel, unless the panel issues a preliminary determination 
     that the system has not been shown to meet the requisite 
     standards. The requirements of this paragraph shall not apply 
     to a last signatory operator electing to utilize the managed 
     care provider system established by the 1991 Fund if the 
     panel has issued a favorable determination for such system.

     reveals a failure to show compliance with established 
     standards such that provisional implementation by a last 
     signatory operator or by the joint board of trustees may be 
     detrimental to participants subject to the system, the panel 
     shall, within 120 days of the submission, issue a preliminary 
     determination that the system has not been shown to meet the 
     requisite standards.

     place, or where a defendant resides or may be found, and 
     process may be served in any other district where a defendant 
     resides or may be found.

     type customarily related to the foregoing; except that the 
     term shall not mean managerial, supervisory, warehouse, 
     clerical or technical work, unless such work is performed 
     subject to a coal wage agreement binding the employer engaged 
     in the production of coal.
       ``(2) The term `coal wage agreement' shall mean--
       ``(A) the National Bituminous Coal Wage Agreement;
       ``(B) any agreement substantially identical or

       ``(C) any other agreement entered into between an employer 
     in the bituminous coal industry and the United Mine Workers

     years of service credited under a plan established by the 
     settlors and described in section 404(c) or a continuation of 
     such plan.
       ``(3) The term `credited service' shall have the same 
     meaning as determined under the applicable defined benefit 
     pension plan, but only if such service was of the type used 
     to determine eligibility under the plan described in section 
     9721(d)(2)(B).
       ``(4) The term `excess pension assets' shall mean the 
     excess of the current value of plan assets (as defined in

     of 1974 (29 U.S.C. 1002(26)) of the plan described in section 
     9721(c) over the actuarial present value of all benefits for 
     all plan participants under such plan, determined as of the 
     date of enactment, in accordance with the actuarial 
     assumptions and methods which reflect the plan actuary's best 
     estimate of anticipated experience under such plan, except 
     that where excess pension assets are recalculated as required 
     under section 9721(a)(1), the amount of excess pension assets 
     shall be determined as of the July 1 next preceding the date 
     of the recalculation.

     in business for purposes of this chapter if any of the 
     following conducts or derives revenue from any business, 
     whether or not within the coal industry--
       ``(A) such last signatory operator;

     (within the meaning of section 414(b)) of such last signatory 
     operator; or

     (as determined under section 414(c)) with such last signatory 
     operator.

     paragraphs (2) and (3) shall be determined at the time it 
     ceased to be in business.
       ``(6)(A) The term `last signatory operator shall mean, with 
     respect to any orphan miner or other coal industry retiree 
     eligible for medical benefits, a person that meets or at one 
     time met the following conditions:
       ``(i) A person meets the conditions of this clause if such 
     person is--
       ``(I) an owner, lessee or other person who operates, 
     controls or supervises a coal mine;
       ``(II) an independent contractor who operates, controls or 
     supervises a coal mine; or
       ``(III) in the event a person described in (I) or (II) is

     that a purchaser shall not be considered to be a successor 
     with respect to any orphan miner or other coal industry 
     retiree eligible for medical benefits, if responsibility for 
     the medical benefits of such orphan miner or other coal 
     industry retiree was retained by the seller in the purchase 
     and sale transaction.
       ``(ii) A person meets the conditions of this clause if such 
     person or, in the case of a person described in clause 
     (i)(III), such person's predecessor--
       ``(I) was a signatory to a 1978 coal wage agreement, or any 
     subsequent coal wage agreement; and
       ``(II) was the last coal industry employer of such orphan 
     miner or other retiree.
       ``(B) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), if, as of the date 
     of enactment of this chapter, a person has assumed or 
     retained responsibility for retiree medical benefit 
     obligations for individuals who retired from employment under 
     a coal wage agreement, then such person shall be treated as 
     the last signatory operator with respect to such individuals 
     for purposes of this chapter, and any person from whom such 
     responsibility was assumed shall not be treated as the last 
     signatory operator.
       ``(C) For purposes of this chapter, the last signatory 
     operator of any orphan miner or other coal industry retiree 
     shall be considered to be the last signatory operator with 
     respect to such orphan miner's or other coal industry 
     retiree's spouse, surviving spouse and dependents, if any.
       ``(7) The term `National Bituminous Coal Wage Agreement' 
     shall mean the collective bargaining agreement negotiated by 
     the settlors.
       ``(8) The term `settlors' means the United Mine Workers of 
     America and the Bituminous Coal Operators' Association, Inc. 
     (hereinafter referred to as the `BCOA'), except that if the 
     BCOA ceases to exist, members of the BCOA representing more 
     than 50 percent of the tonnage membership of BCOA on the date 
     of enactment of this Act shall collectively be considered a 
     settlor.

     ``SEC. 9724. SHAM TRANSACTIONS.

       ``If a principal purpose of any transaction is to evade or 
     avoid liability under this chapter, this chapter shall be 
     applied (and liability shall be imposed) without regard to 
     such transaction. A bona fide, arm's-length sale of an entity 
     subject to liability under this chapter to an unrelated party 
     (within the meaning of section 4204(d) of the Employee 
     Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended), shall 
     not by itself be sufficient to establish a principal purpose 
     to evade or avoid liability within the meaning of this 
     section.''
       (b) Conforming Amendment.--The table of subtitles for the 
     Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by adding at the end 
     thereof the following new subtitle:

     Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
     The Speaker,

     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: Pursuant to the permission granted in

     Representatives, I have the honor to transmit four sealed 
     envelopes received from the White House on Friday, March 20,

       (1) Three sealed envelopes received at 6:15 P.M. and said 
     to contain 67 special messages from the President whereby, in

       With great respect, I am
           Sincerely yours,
                                              Donnald K. Anderson,
                                  Clerk, House of Representatives.

Para. 33.7  veto of h.r. 4210

  The Clerk then read the veto message from the President, as follows:

To the House of Representatives:
  I am returning herewith without my approval H.R. 4210, the ``Tax 
Fairness and Economic Growth Acceleration Act of 1992.'' In my State of 
the Union Message, I proposed a responsible, balanced economic growth 
program. I challenged the Congress to pass incentives for growth by 
March 20. The Congress failed to meet that challenge. The Congress' 
response, H.R. 4210, is a formula for economic stagnation, not economic 
expansion.
  My Administration's economic growth program would create jobs, 
generate long-term economic growth, and promote health, education, 
savings, and home ownership. My plan would encourage investment and 
enhance real estate values--without tax increases.
  Tax increases would undermine the emerging recovery and act as a 
barrier to long-term growth. I call on the Congress to pass the seven 
commonsense measures that I asked for by this date, without tax 
increases, and to join me in pursuing a long-term agenda for growth.
  I am disappointed that after 52 days the Congress has produced 
partisan, flawed legislation. Rather than work in a constructive manner 
to strengthen the economy and to create jobs, congressional leaders 
chose the path of partisanship. H.R. 4210 would jeopardize the recovery. 
It would not create jobs. It would not create incentives for long-term 
investment and growth, it does not contain a tax credit for first-time 
homebuyers, and it contains wholly inappropriate special interest 
provisions.
  H.R. 4210 would increase taxes by more than $100 billion. More than 
two-thirds of all taxpayers facing tax increases as a result of this 
bill would be owners of small businesses and entrepreneurs. Small 
businesses are the primary source of new job creation.
  H.R. 4210 would raise income tax rates substantially for some 
individuals, in some cases increasing marginal rates by more than 30 
percent.
  This is the wrong time to raise taxes, to increase the deficit, or to 
send a message of fiscal irresponsibility to financial markets.
  I am therefore returning H.R. 4210, and I ask the Congress again to 
pass my economic growth program, without raising taxes.
                                                          George Bush.  
  The White House, March 20, 1992. 

  The SPEAKER ordered that the veto message, together with the 
accompanying bill, be printed (H. Doc. 102-206) and spread upon the 
pages of the Journal of the House.
  On motion of Mr. BONIOR, by unanimous consent, further consideration 
of the veto message was postponed until Wednesday, March 25, 1992.

Para. 33.18  message from the president--environmental quality

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. COOPER, laid before the House a message 
from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  In 1991 two events set the stage for a new era in history: the West 
won the Cold War and the United States led a U.N. coalition to roll back 
aggression in the Middle East. Both watershed events demonstrated the 
power of sustained international cooperation in pursuit of just and 
moral causes. They underscored the need for U.S. leadership in a 
complex, interdependent world.
  Historic changes are also occurring in the relationship between 
humanity and the environment. We increasingly recognize that 
environmental improvement promotes peace and prosperity, while 
environmental degradation can cause political conflict and economic 
stagnation. We see that environmental protection requires international 
commitment and strategic American leadership in yet another just and 
moral cause.


                merging economic and environmental goals

  As I often have stated, we can have both economic growth and a 
cleaner, safer environment. Indeed, the two can be mutually supportive. 
Sound policies provide both.
  My environmental strategy seeks to merge economic and environmental 
goals. For example, boosting two engines of economic growth--
technological change and international trade--can also provide benefits 
for the environment. Likewise, regulatory approaches that emphasize 
economic efficiency can help lower the costs of securing greater 
environmental quality. The following examples are illustrative:
  Investments in Technology: My Administration has invested aggressively 
in key areas of research and development that will boost productivity 
and economic performance. Several technologies heralded primarily for 
their benefit to economic growth and competitiveness, such as advanced 
materials, high performance computing, electric batteries, and 
biotechnology, also have valuable environmental ap-

[[Page 409]]

plications. Increasing investments in basic environmental research will 
enable policymakers to devise more informed, effective, and efficient 
policies.
  International Trade: In negotiations on the General Agreement on 
Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the United States calls on other nations to 
reduce farm subsidies, which harm competitive farm exports and 
contribute to environmental degradation. In parallel with negotiations 
toward a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the United States 
and Mexico are expanding environmental cooperation. A free trade 
agreement would lead to stronger growth in both countries and provide 
increased financial resources for environmental protection.
  Economically Efficient Regulations: Our Clean Air Act initiatives spur 
utility energy efficiency through innovative tradable sulfur emission 
allowances and an overall cap on emissions. Restraining electricity 
demand cuts emissions of carbon dioxide and acid rain precursors, lowers 
energy bills for homeowners and businesses, and limits the need for new 
powerplant construction.


                 The Global Environment and Development

  Robust economic growth is needed to meet the needs and aspirations of 
the world's peoples. At the same time, the nations of the world must 
ensure that economic development does not place untenable burdens on the 
Earth's environment.
  My Administration has been working with business leaders, 
environmentalists, scientists, and the governments of other countries to 
develop more effective, efficient, and comprehensive approaches to 
global economic and environmental issues. Preparations for the United 
Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED or Earth 
Summit), which convenes this June in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, have 
accelerated this process.
  My priorities for this historic conference are as follows:
 --Sign a satisfactory global framework convention on climate change;
 --Agree on initial steps leading to a global framework convention on 
    the conservation and management of all the world's forests;
 --Improve U.N. environmental and developmental agencies as well as the 
    Global Environment Facility (GEF), which provides financial 
    assistance to developing nations in meeting the costs of gaining 
    global environmental benefits;
 --Launch an action program to conserve biodiversity and, if possible, 
    sign a satisfactory global framework convention on biodiversity;
 --Agree on a strategy and expand efforts to improve the condition of 
    oceans and seas; and
 --Adopt a strategy and initiatives to promote technology cooperation in 
    a free market context.
  Climate Change: On behalf of the United States, I hope to sign by June 
1992 a global framework convention that will commit as many nations as 
possible to the timely development of comprehensive national climate 
action plans. Such plans would commit nations to a process of continuous 
improvement, addressing sources and reservoirs of all greenhouse gases 
as well as adaptation measures. Parties to the convention would compare 
their action programs on a regular basis and revise them as necessary.
  By producing specific, comprehensive environmental commitments that 
fit each nation's particular circumstances, this approach is preferable 
on environmental and economic grounds to the carbon-dioxide-only 
proposals that others have espoused. The United States will continue to 
restrain or reduce its net carbon dioxide emissions by improving energy 
efficiency, developing cleaner energy sources, and planting billions of 
trees in this decade. But an exclusive focus on targets and timetables 
for carbon dioxide emissions is inadequate to address the complex 
dynamics of climate change.
  Forests and Biodiversity: The nations of the world need to do a better 
job of studying and conserving the diversity of life on Earth. Nations 
also need to work together to improve the management and protection of 
all the world's forests. For these reasons, I am renewing my call for a 
global framework convention on the management and conservation of 
forests and restating the U.S. hope that UNCED will be the occasion for 
making progress toward such a convention. I am also hopeful that a 
convention on the conservation of biodiversity may be signed at UNCED.
  Institutional Reform and Funding: Member nations need to coordinate 
U.N. structures and make them more efficient and effective in meeting 
UNCED goals. A related priority is to continue development of the World 
Bank's Global Environment Facility (GEF). The GEF should become the 
principal vehicle for assisting developing nations with the incremental 
costs of gaining global environmental benefits under new international 
agreements.
  Oceans: Coastal and estuarine areas include some of the most diverse 
and productive ecosystems on Earth. Increasing population and 
development are stressing these areas, particularly in nations that lack 
effective programs to protect and manage marine resources. The United 
States urges UNCED parties to adopt a set of principles and an action 
plan to address such issues as the status of living marine resources, 
coastal zone management, ocean monitoring, and land-based sources of 
marine pollution.
  Technology: The UNCED participants should adopt a strategy and 
initiatives to promote market-based environmental technology cooperation 
with developing nations. In some cases, the transfer of environmentally 
preferable technologies results from official foreign assistance. 
However, in the vast majority of cases it occurs as the result of 
private sector activities such as direct foreign investment, joint 
ventures, licensing, exports, and professional training. Thus the role 
of governments and international institutions should be to foster the 
market conditions that accelerate private sector activity in the growing 
global market for environmental goods and services.


                        the domestic environment

  In the midst of increased attention to global environmental issues, 
the United States in the last 3 years has enacted and begun to implement 
sweeping environmental reforms. We will continue to take action 
predicated on sound science and efficient solutions. State and local 
governments, businesses, community groups, and individual citizens must 
also play a part.
  A number of items on the environmental agenda, including 
reauthorization of the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and 
Recovery Act, and the Endangered Species Act, require a thorough, 
judicious review with an eye toward the long term. Wherever possible, 
such legislation should encourage economically sensible, market-based 
mechanisms. Quick-fix actions will not be in the best interest of the 
environment or of our economy.
  The Congress should make a significant contribution to economic growth 
and the environment by taking the following steps during this session:
  --Enact balanced national energy legislation, providing equal measures 
    of new conservation and production;
  --As requested in my budget, provide increased funds to a number of 
    key environmental and natural resources programs; and
  --Establish a U.S. Department of the Environment.
  National Energy Legislation: In the year that has passed since I 
proposed a National Energy Strategy (NES) providing equal measures of 
new energy conservation and production, the Administration has moved to 
implement more than 90 NES initiatives that do not require legislative 
action. The Congress has followed through by increasing funding for an 
array of research and development initiatives. Now, in addition to these 
measures, the Congress needs to complete action on comprehensive 
national energy legislation.
  Environmental and Natural Resources Budget: Within the context of 
initiatives to tighten Federal budget discipline, my proposed budget for 
fiscal 1993 reflects my continuing belief that we should increase 
national investments in key environmental and natural resources 
programs. Among my priorities are the following:
  --$1.85 billion (a 17-percent increase over fiscal 1992) for the 
    America the Beautiful program, including acquisition of key park, 
    forest, refuge, and other public lands; my program to encourage 
    public par-

[[Page 410]]

    ticipation in the planting of one billion trees per year; a 
    partnership with the States to create state parks and recreation 
    facilities; and projects to improve environmental infrastructure and 
    recreational opportunities on the public lands;
  --A record $5.5 billion (a 26-percent increase over fiscal 1992) for 
    the cleanup of Department of Energy facilities involved in nuclear 
    weapons manufacture;
  --$201 million (almost double the fiscal 1992 level) for U.S.-Mexico 
    border region cleanup, consistent with the Environmental Action Plan 
    I presented to the Congress last year in support of the proposed 
    North American Free Trade Agreement;
  --Almost $1 billion for energy research and development, including 
    over $350 million for conservation research and development (more 
    than double the fiscal 1989 level) and $162.4 million (a 47-percent 
    increase over fiscal 1992) for transportation programs such as 
    development of electric automotive batteries and the purchase of 
    5,000 alternative-fuel vehicles;
  --$812 million (a 35-percent increase over fiscal 1992) for wetlands 
    research, acquisition, restoration, and enhancement, achieving a 
    175-percent increase over fiscal 1989 levels;
  --For the second year in a row, $340 million for accelerated 
    construction of sewage treatment facilities in six coastal cities 
    that currently have inadequate treatment facilities;
  --$7 million (a 46-percent increase over fiscal 1992) for the 
    designation and management of National Marine Sanctuaries;
  --$229 million (a 22-percent increase over fiscal 1992) for 
    implementation of the 1990 Clean Air Act;
  --$1.75 billion (an 8-percent increase over fiscal 1992) for cleanup 
    of Superfund toxic waste sites; and
  --$1.37 billion (a 24-percent increase over fiscal 1992) for further 
    expansion of the world's largest global climate change research 
    program.
  U.S. Department of the Environment: Considering the scope and 
importance of responsibilities conferred upon the Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA), I announced my support in 1990 for legislative 
efforts to elevate EPA to Cabinet status. The Congressional leadership 
has responded with controversial, extraneous amendments and 
parliamentary delays. This legislation should not be held hostage any 
longer. Once again, I call on the Congress to elevate EPA to Cabinet 
status and make it the U.S. Department of the Environment.


                          A National Commitment

  There is a growing commitment from all segments of society to improve 
the environment. A key element of my environmental strategy is 
encouraging private companies and organizations to work with each other 
and with government to deliver conservation benefits that go far beyond 
what government acting alone could provide.
  In July 1991 I named leaders of business, environmental, recreational, 
educational, and philanthropic organizations to serve as members of the 
President's Commission on Environmental Quality (PCEQ). I have 
challenged this Commission to develop and implement an action agenda to 
improve the environment through voluntary private sector activities that 
meet the test of economic efficiency.
  I also established a Presidential medal for environment and 
conservation achievement and had the honor of presenting medals to an 
outstanding group of Americans last October. This program rewards 
private initiative in service to the environment in a manner equivalent 
to long-standing Presidential recognition of excellence in the arts, 
humanities, sciences, and world affairs.
  We have encouraged additional private sector initiatives through such 
ground-breaking efforts as the ``Green Lights'' energy efficiency 
project, the ``33-50'' toxic emission reduction program, the U.S. 
Advanced Battery Consortium to support development of electric vehicles, 
and land management partnerships between conservation groups and the 
Departments of Defense, Agriculture, and the Interior.


                         Freedom's full meaning

  As more people around the world join the democratic family and reach 
for their God-given rights and aspirations, we Americans who have led 
the way for over 200 years will continue to bear a responsibility to 
give freedom its full meaning, including freedom from want and freedom 
from an unsafe environment.
  The Cold War was a stark test of the global community's faith in these 
ideals. We passed that test.
  The deadlock in negotiations for improved international trade rules is 
another challenge to the principles that have drawn the world closer 
together in the last half century. We must not fail that test.
  These struggles for national security and economic growth are now 
joined by environmental concerns such as deforestation and potential 
climate change, which also have profound long-term implications. The 
year ahead will test our ability to redefine the relationship between 
humanity and the environment--and in so doing, to secure a greater peace 
and prosperity for generations to come. We must not fail that test.

Para. 34.6  house campaign spending limits and election reform

  On motion of Mr. GEJDENSON, by unanimous consent, the bill of the 
Senate (S. 3) to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to 
provide for a voluntary system of spending limits for Senate election 
campaigns, and for other purposes; together with the amendments of the 
House thereto, was taken from the Speaker's table.
  When on motion of Mr. GEJDENSON it was,
  Resolved, That the House insist upon its amendments and agree to the 
conference asked by the Senate on the disagreeing votes of the two 
Houses thereon.
  Ordered, That the Clerk notify the Senate thereof.

Para. 34.7  motion to instruct conferees--s. 3

  Mr. THOMAS of California moved that the managers on the part of the 
House at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on 
the amendments of the House to S. 3 be instructed to include provisions 
in the conference report that would limit the total cost of the bill to 
the total savings to be derived from the recommended offsets in the 
Senate bill and House amendments, and specify the account given such 
costs and offsets under the terms of section 301, Requirement of Budget 
Neutrality; and to include in the conference report provisions 
containing the requirement that no taxpayer dollars may be used to 
finance congressional campaigns, such financing to include (1) any 
payments to reimburse the postal service for postage discounts provided 
to congressional campaigns, (2) any payments to congressional campaigns, 
and (3) any other expenditure or obligation to offset revenue losses 
created by tax credits or other subsidies for the purpose of financing 
congressional campaigns.
  Pending consideration of said motion,

Para. 34.8  point of order

  Mr. GEJDENSON made a point of order against the motion, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order that the directions of the 
gentleman from California [Mr. Thomas] are beyond the scope.''.

[[Page 414]]

  Mr. THOMAS of California was recognized to speak to the point of order 
and said:

  ``It is my understanding that when the amendment to H.R. 3750 was 
presented to the House, the gentleman from North Carolina, the author of 
the amendment, indicated in an explanation of the measure that ``the 
requirement that no taxpayer dollars may be used to finance 
congressional campaigns'' was a portion of a substitute amendment.
  ``In addition, on the floor during debate in the Congressional Record, 
page H11128, the gentlewoman from Ohio [Ms. Oakar] said, `No taxpayers' 
dollars are involved.'
  ``During the same debate on page 11162 the gentleman from Connecticut 
said, `We do not have public financing in this bill.'
  The gentleman from North Carolina [Mr. Rose] on page 11164 said:

       Taxpayers are used to making tax contributions to pay for 
     elections in this country, but they did not want their tax 
     dollars at this time going to candidates for Congress.

  ``What this motion to instruct says is that no taxpayer dollars should 
be used to finance congressional campaigns. There are three examples of 
areas that financing should not be allowed, based upon the provisions 
that were in the bill.
  ``For example, first, no payments to reimburse the Postal Service for 
postage discounts; second, no payments to congressional campaigns, 
either in a matching fund or some other way, they should not go directly 
to congressional campaigns; or third, that there should not be any other 
expenditure or obligation to offset revenue losses created by, for 
example, tax credits in any conference agreement.
  ``Therefore, Mr. Speaker, based upon all the allegations that were 
presented during the presentation of this bill, it seems to me that the 
scope of the conference certainly would find acceptable an explanation 
which simply delineates more specifically where no taxpayer dollars are 
to be allowed.''.

  The SPEAKER sustained the point of order, and said:

  ``The Chair is prepared to rule, if there are no further arguments.
  ``Neither the House nor the Senate version contains the provision 
which the second part of the instruction directs the House conferees to 
include in their report.
  ``The gentleman from California [Mr. Thomas] is quoting statements on 
the floor made by Members supporting the bill, but neither the House nor 
the Senate version contains such provisions.
  ``For this reason, the motion exceeds the scope of the matters 
formally committed to conference and the Chair sustains the point of 
order.''.

Para. 34.9  motion to instruct conferees--s. 3

  Mr. THOMAS of California moved that the managers on the part of the 
House at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on 
the amendments of the House to S. 3 be instructed to include provisions 
in the conference report that would limit the total cost of the bill to 
the total savings to be derived from the recommended offsets in the 
Senate bill and House amendments, and specify the account given such 
costs and offsets under the terms of section 301, Requirement of Budget 
Neutrality.
  After debate,
  By unanimous consent, the previous question on the motion to instruct 
was ordered.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to said motion?

     consider an amendment in the nature of a substitute 
     consisting of the text of H.R. 4471, as modified by the 
     amendment printed in the report of the Committee on Rules 
     accompanying this resolution, as an original bill for the

     to the consideration of the bill. At the conclusion of the 
     consideration of the bill for amendment, the Committee shall 
     rise and report the bill to the House, and any Member may 
     demand a separate vote in the House on any amendment adopted 
     in the Committee of the Whole to the bill or to the amendment 
     in the nature of a substitute made in order as original text 
     by this resolution. The previous question shall be considered 
     as ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to final 
     passage without intervening motion except one motion to 
     recommit with or without instructions. After passage of H.R. 
     3553, it shall be in order to take from the Speaker's table 
     the bill S. 1150 and consider said bill in the House. It 
     shall then be in order to move to strike out all after the 
     enacting clause of said Senate bill and to insert in lieu 
     thereof the provisions of H.R. 3553 as passed by the House. 
     All points of order against the motion are hereby waived. It

     Senate.

  A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of

     minimal financial risk to the Federal Government;
       (4) the Student Loan Marketing Association is not backed by 
     the full faith and credit of the United States;
       (5) the entity regulating the Student Loan Marketing 
     Association should have sufficient autonomy from the 
     Association and special interest groups; and
       (6) the entity regulating the Student Loan Marketing 
     Association should have the authority to establish capital 
     standards, require financial disclosure, prescribe adequate

     with the standards and rules that it establishes.

       ``(2) Terms of appointed and elected members.--The

     shall each be elected for a term ending on the date of the 
     next annual meeting of the common stockholders of the 
     Association, and shall serve until their successors have been 
     elected and have qualified. Any appointive seat on the Board

       ``(3) Affiliated members.--For the purpose of this 
     subsection, the references to a director `affiliated with an 
     eligible institution' or a director `affiliated with an

       ``(4) Meetings and functions of the board.--The Board of 
     Directors shall meet at the call of its Chairman, but at 
     least semiannually. The Board shall determine the general

     be prescribed by the bylaws or by the Board of Directors, and 
     such persons shall be the officers of the Association and 
     shall discharge all such functions, powers, and duties.''.
       (2) amending subsection (f) to read as follows:
       ``(f) Stock of the Association.--
       ``(1) Voting common stock.--The Association shall have 
     voting common stock having such par value as may be fixed by 
     the Board from time to time. Each share of voting common 
     stock shall be entitled to 1 vote with rights of cumulative 
     voting at all elections of directors.
       ``(2) Number of shares; transferability.--The maximum 
     number of shares of voting common stock that the Association 
     may issue and have outstanding at any one time shall be fixed 
     by the Board from time to time. Any voting common stock issue 
     shall 
     be fully transferable, except that, as to the Association, it 
     shall be transferred only on the books of the Association.
       ``(3) Dividends.--
       ``(A) To the extent that net income is earned and realized, 
     subject to subsection (g)(2), dividends may be declared on 
     voting common stock by the Board. Such dividends as may be 
     declared by the Board shall be paid to the holders of 
     outstanding shares of voting common stock, except that no 
     such dividends shall be payable with respect to any share 
     which has been called for redemption past the effective date 
     of such call. All dividends shall be charged against the 
     general surplus account of the Association.
       ``(B) The Association may not make any capital distribution 
     that would decrease the regulatory capital of the Association 
     (as such term is defined in subsection (c) of the Government-
     Sponsored Education Association Financial Safety and 
     Soundness Act of 1992) to an amount less than the risk-based 
     capital level for the Association established under 
     subsection (p) of such Act or that would decrease the core 
     capital of the Association (as such term is defined in such 
     subsection (c)) to an amount less than the minimum capital 
     level for the Association established under subsection (q) of 
     such Act, without prior written approval of the payment by 
     the Director of the Office of SLMA Market Examination and 
     Oversight of the Department of Treasury.
       ``(C) The Director of the Office of SLMA Market Examination 
     and Oversight may require the Association to submit a report 
     to the Director after the declaration of any dividend by the 
     Association and before the payment of the dividend. The 
     report shall be made in such form and under such 
     circumstances and shall contain such information as the 
     Director shall require.'';
       ``(4) Single class of voting common stock.--As of the 
     effective date of the Student Loan Marketing Association 
     Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992, all of the 
     previously authorized shares of voting common stock and 
     nonvoting common stock of the Association shall be converted 
     to shares of a single class of voting common stock on a 
     share-for-share basis, without any further action on the part 
     of the Association or any holder. Each outstanding 
     certificate for voting or nonvoting common stock shall 
     evidence ownership of the same number of shares of voting 
     stock into which it is converted. All preexisting rights and 
     obligations with respect to any class of common stock of the 
     Association shall be deemed to be rights and obligations with 
     respect to such converted shares.''.
       (3) by striking paragraph (h)(2) and inserting the 
     following new paragraph:
       ``(2) Debt.--The Association shall insert appropriate 
     language in all of the securities issued by it clearly 
     indicating that such securities, together with the interest 
     thereon, are not guaranteed by the United States and do not 
     constitute a debt or obligation of the United States or any 
     agency or instrumentality thereof other than the 
     Association.''.
       (4) in paragraph (i)(8) by inserting a period after 
     ``thereof'' and inserting the following new sentence: 
     Salaries shall be set at such levels as the Board of 
     Directors determines reasonable and comparable with 
     compensation for employment in positions in other similar 
     businesses (including other major financial services 
     companies) involving similar duties and responsibilities, 
     except that a significant portion of potential compensation 
     of all executive officers of the Association shall be based 
     on the performance of the Association''; and by adding at the 
     end the following new paragraph:
       ``(10)(A) Not later than June 30, 1993, and annually 
     thereafter, the Association shall submit a report to the 
     Congress on (i) the

[[Page 420]]

     comparability of the compensation policies of the Association 
     with the compensation policies of other similar businesses, 
     (ii) in the aggregate, the percentage of total cash 
     compensation and payments under employee benefit plans (which 
     shall be defined in a manner consistent with the 
     Association's proxy statement for the annual meeting of 
     shareholders for the preceding year) earned by executive 
     officers of the Association during the preceding year that 
     was based on the Association's performance, and (iii) the 
     comparability of the Association's financial performance with 
     the performance of other similar businesses. The report shall 
     include a copy of the Association's proxy statement for the 
     annual meeting of shareholders for the preceding year.
       ``(B) After the date of the enactment of the Government-
     Sponsored Education Association Financial Safety and 
     Soundness Act of 1992, the Association may not enter into any 
     agreement or contract to provide any payment of money or 
     other thing of current or potential value in connection with 
     the termination of employment of any executive officer of the 
     Association, unless such agreement or contract is approved in 
     advance by the Secretary of Treasury. The Secretary may not 
     approve any such agreement or contract unless the Secretary 
     determines that the benefits provided under the agreement or 
     contract are comparable to benefits under such agreements for 
     officers of other public and private entities involved in 
     financial services and education interests who have 
     comparable duties and responsibilities. For purposes of this 
     subparagraph, any renegotiation, amendment, or change after 
     such date of enactment to any such agreement or contract 
     entered into on or before such date of enactment shall be 
     considered entering into an agreement or contract.
       ``(C) For purposes of this paragraph, the term `executive 
     officer' has the meaning given the term in subsection (c) of 
     the Government-Sponsored Education Association Financial 
     Safety and Soundness Act of 1992.''.
       (5) in subsection (j) by adding onto the end thereof the 
     following new sentence: ``The programs, activities, receipts, 
     expenditures, and financial transactions of the Association 
     shall be subject to audit by the Comptroller General of the 
     United States under such rules and regulations as may be 
     prescribed by the Comptroller General.''.
       (6) by adding the following new subsection:
       ``(r) Quarterly Reports--
       ``(1) Timing.--The Association shall submit to the Director 
     of the Office of SLMA Market Examination and Oversight of the 
     Department of Treasury quarterly reports of the financial 
     condition of the Association which shall be in such form, 
     contain such information, and be submitted on such dates as 
     the Director of the Office of SLMA Market Examination and 
     Oversight shall require.
       ``(2) Each report of condition shall contain a declaration 
     by the president, vice president, treasurer, or any other 
     officer designated by the Board of Directors of the 
     Association to make such declaration, that the report is true 
     and correct to the best of such officer's knowledge and 
     belief.
       ``(3) The Director of the Office of SIMA Market Examination 
     and Oversight may require the Association to submit 
     additional reports of financial condition, which shall be in 
     such form, contain such information, and be submitted on such 
     dates as the Director may require. The Director may also 
     require the Association to submit special reports whenever, 
     in the judgment of the Director, such reports are necessary 
     to carry out the purposes of the Government-Sponsored 
     Education Association Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 
     1992. The Director may not require the inclusion in any such 
     special report of any information that is not reasonably 
     obtainable by the Association. The Director shall notify the 
     Association, a reasonable period in advance of the date for 
     submission of any report, of any specific information to be 
     contained in the report and the date for the submission of 
     the report.''.
       (7) Effective Date.--Except as otherwise provided in this 
     subsection and the amendments made by this subsection, the 
     amendments made by this subsection shall take effect on 
     January 1, 1993.
       (n) Amendments to Title 5, United States Code.--
       (1) Director at Level II of Executive Schedule.--Section 
     5313 of title 5, United States Code, is amended by inserting 
     at the end the following new item: ``Director of the Office 
     of SIMA Market Examination and oversight, Department of 
     Treasury.''.
       (2) Definition of Agency.--Section 3132(a)(1)(D) of title 
     5, United States Code, is amended by inserting ``the Office 
     of SIMA Market Examination and Oversight of the Department of 
     Treasury,'' after ``Farm Credit Administration,''.
       (o) Implementation.--
       (1) In General.--The Secretary of Treasury and the Director 
     of the Office of SIMA Market Examination and Oversight of the 
     Department of Treasury, as appropriate, shall issue final 
     regulations providing for the implementation of the 
     provisions of this Act and the amendments made by this Act 
     not later than the expiration of the 18-month period 
     beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act. Such 
     regulations shall clearly delineate the responsibilities and 
     authority of the Secretary and the Director pursuant to the 
     provisions of and amendments made by this Act. Any 
     regulations issued by the Director pursuant to this 
     subsection shall be issued under the authority provided in 
     subsection (1).
       (2) Notice and Comment.--The regulations under this 
     subsection shall be issued after notice and opportunity for 
     public comment pursuant to the provisions of section 533 of 
     title 5, United States Code (notwithstanding subsections 
     (b)(B) and (d)(3) of such section).
       (p) Risk Based Capital Level.--
       (1) Risk-based capital test.--The Director shall, by 
     regulation, establish a risk-based capital test under this 
     subsection for the Association. When applied to the 
     Association, the risk-based capital test shall determine the 
     amount of regulatory capital for the Association that is 
     sufficient for the Association to maintain positive capital 
     during a 10-year period in which both of the following 
     circumstances occur:
       (A) Credit risk.--With respect to student loans owed by the 
     Association, other assets or obligations, and other 
     activities of the Association related to credit risk 
     (including any off-balance sheet obligations), the Director 
     will establish risk-based capital requirements based on the 
     expected losses of the various classes of financial assets 
     and obligations occurring on a nationwide basis at a rate 
     that is reasonably related to the worst actual two-year 
     regional (contiguous area of the United States containing an 
     aggregate of not less than 5 percent of the total population 
     of the United States) experience for such financial 
     instruments and activities.
       (B) Interest rate risk.--Interest rates on Treasury 
     obligations of varying terms increase or decrease over the 
     first 12 months of such 10-year period by not more than the 
     lesser of (i) 50 percent (with respect to the average 
     interest rates on such obligations during the 12-month period 
     preceding the 10-year period), or (ii) 600 basis points, and 
     remain at such level for the remainder of the period. This 
     subparagraph may not be construed to require the Director to 
     determine interest rate risk under this subparagraph based on 
     the interest rates for various long-term and short-term 
     obligations all increasing or all decreasing concurrently.
       (2) Considerations.--In establishing the risk-based capital 
     test under paragraph (1), the Director shall take into 
     account appropriate distinctions based on various types of 
     loans, varying terms of Treasury obligations, and any other 
     factors the Director considers appropriate.
       (3) Risk-based capital level.--For purposes of this Act, 
     the risk-based capital level for the Association shall be 
     equal to the sum of the following amounts:
       (A) Credit and interest rate risk.--The amount of 
     regulatory capital determined by applying the risk-based 
     capital test under paragraph (1) to the Association, adjusted 
     to account for foreign exchange risk.
       (B) Management and operations.--To provide for management 
     and operations risk, the Director shall establish a 
     requirement of regulatory capital that is a fixed percentage 
     of the amount of capital established under the risk-based 
     capital test under paragraph (1).
       (4) Regulations.--The Director shall issue final 
     regulations establishing the risk-based capital test under 
     this subsection not later than the expiration of the 2-year 
     period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act. 
     Such regulations shall contain specific requirements, 
     definitions, methods, variables, and parameters used under 
     the risk-based capital test and in implementing the test 
     (such as loan loss severity, float income, taxes, yield curve 
     slopes, default experience, and prepayment rates). The 
     regulations shall be sufficiently specific to permit an 
     individual other than the Director to apply the test in the 
     same manner as the Director.
       (5) Availability of model.--The Director shall make copies 
     of the statistical model or models used to implement the 
     risk-based capital test under this subsection available for 
     public acquisition and may charge a reasonable fee for such 
     copies.
       (q) Minimum Capital Level.--For purposes of this Act, the 
     minimum capital level for the Association shall be an amount 
     of core capital equal to the sum of--
       (1) 2.0 percent of the aggregate on-balance sheet assets of 
     the Association, as determined in accordance with generally 
     accepted accounting principles; and
       (2) 0.4 percent of the aggregate off-balance sheet 
     obligations of the Association, as determined in accordance 
     with generally accepted accounting principles.
       (r) Critical Capital Level.--For purposes of this Act, the 
     critical capital level for the Association shall be an amount 
     of core capital equal to the sum of--
       (1) 1.0 percent of the aggregate on-balance sheet assets of 
     the Association, as determined in accordance with generally 
     accepted accounting principles; and
       (2) 0.2 percent of the aggregate off-balance sheet 
     obligations of the Association, as determined in accordance 
     with generally accepted accounting principles.
       (s) Enforcement Levels.--
       (1) In general.--The Director shall classify the 
     Association, for purposes of this Act, according to the 
     following enforcement levels:
       (A) Level i.--The Association shall be classified as within 
     level I if it--
       (i) maintains an amount of regulatory capital that is equal 
     to or exceeds the risk-based capital level established for 
     the Association under subsection (p); and
       (ii) equals or exceeds the minimum capital level for the 
     Association established under subsection (q).
       (B) Level ii.--The Association shall be classified as 
     within level II if--
       (i) the Association--
       (a) maintains an amount of regulatory capital that is less 
     than the risk-based capital level established for the 
     Association; and

[[Page 421]]

       (b) equals or exceeds the minimum capital level for the 
     Association; or
       (ii) the Association is otherwise classified within level 
     II under paragraph (2) of this subsection.
       (C) Level iii.--The Association shall be classified as 
     within level III if--
       (i) the Association--
       (a) does not equal or exceed the minimum capital level for 
     the Association; and
       (b) equals or exceeds the critical capital level for the 
     Association established under subsection (r); or
       (ii) the Association is otherwise classified within level 
     III under paragraph (2) of this subsection.
       (D) Level iv.--The Association shall be classified as 
     within level IV if the Association--
       (i) does not equal or exceed the critical capital level for 
     the Association; or
       (ii) is otherwise classified level IV under paragraph (2) 
     of this subsection.
       (2) Discretionary classification.--If at any time the 
     Director determines in writing that the Association is taking 
     any action not approved by the Director that could result in 
     a rapid depletion of core capital or that the value of the 
     loans held by the Association has decreased significantly, 
     the Director may classify the Association--
       (A) as within level II, if the Association is otherwise 
     within level I;
       (B) as within level III, if the Association is otherwise 
     within level II; or
       (C) as within level IV, if the Association is otherwise 
     within level III.
       (3) Quarterly determination.--The Director shall determine 
     the classification of the Association for purposes of this 
     Act on not less than a quarterly basis (and as appropriate 
     under paragraph (2)). The first such determination shall be 
     made for the quarter ending March 31, 1993.
       (4) Notice.--Upon determining under paragraph (2) or (3) 
     that the Association is within level II or III, the Director 
     shall provide written notice to the Congress and to the 
     Association--
       (A) that the Association is within such level;
       (B) that the Association is subject to the provisions of 
     subsection (t) or (u), as applicable; and
       (C) stating the reasons for the classification of the 
     Association within such level.
       (5) Implementation.--Notwithstanding paragraph (1)(A), 
     during the period beginning on the date of the enactment of 
     this Act and ending upon the effective date of subsection (t) 
     (as provided in paragraph (t)(4)), the Association shall be 
     classified as within level I if the Association equals or 
     exceeds the applicable minimum capital level for the 
     Association under subsection (q).
       (t) Mandatory Supervisory Actions Applicable to the 
     Association Within Level II.--
       (1) Capital restoration plan.--The Association within level 
     II shall, within the time period provided in subsection

     subsection (x) and, after approval, carry out the plan.
       (2) Restriction on capital distributions.--The Association 
     within level II may not make any capital distribution that

     level III or IV.
       (3) Reclassification from level ii to level iii.--The 
     Director shall immediately reclassify the Association within 
     level II as within level III (and the Association shall be 
     subject to the provisions of subsection (u), if--
       (A) the Association does not submit a capital restoration 
     plan that is substantially in compliance with subsection (x) 
     within the applicable period or the Director does not approve 
     the capital restoration plan submitted by the Association; or
       (B) the Director determines that the Association has failed 
     to make, in good faith, reasonable efforts necessary to 
     comply with the capital restoration plan and fulfill the 
     schedule for the plan approved by the Director.
       (4) Effective date.--This subsection shall take effect upon 
     the expiration of the 1-year period beginning on the date of 
     the effectiveness of the regulations issued under subsection 
     (p) establishing the risk-based capital test.

       (B) Restrictions on capital distributions.--
       (i) Prior approval.--The Association within level III may 
     not make any capital distribution that would result in the

     distribution only if the Director approves the payment before 
     the payment.
       (ii) Standard for approval.--The Director may approve a 
     capital distribution by the Association within level III only 
     if the Director determines that the payment (a) will enhance 
     the ability of the Association to meet the risk-based capital 
     level and the minimum capital level for the Association 
     promptly, (b) will contribute to the long-term safety and 
     soundness of the Association, or (c) is otherwise in the 
     public interest.
       (C) Approval of activities.--The Association within level 
     III may undertake an activity subject to the approval of the 
     Secretary of Education or the Secretary of the Treasury under

     the expiration of the 18-month period beginning on the date 
     of the enactment of this Act.
       (v) Mandatory Appointment of Conservator for the 
     Association Within Level IV.--

     appoint a conservator for the Association. A conservator 
     appointed pursuant to this subsection shall have the 
     authority, in the discretion of the conservator, to take any

       (A) Discretionary authority.--The Director may, after 
     providing notice under subparagraph (B), appoint a 
     conservator for the Association upon a determination--
       (i) that the Association is not likely to pay its 
     obligations in the normal course of business;
       (ii) that--
       (a) the Association has incurred or is likely to incur 
     losses that will deplete all or substantially all of its core 
     capital; and
       (b) there is no reasonable likelihood that the Association 
     will replenish its core capital without Federal assistance;
       (iii) that the Association has concealed books, papers, 
     records, or assets of the Association that are material to 
     the discharge of the Director's responsibilities under this 
     Act, or has refused to submit such books, papers, records, or 
     information regarding the affairs of the Association for 
     inspection to the Director upon request; or
       (iv) that the Association is classified within level III.
       (B) Notice.--Upon making a determination under subparagraph

     subsection or subsection (v)), the Association may bring an 
     action in the United States District Court for the District 
     of Columbia, for an order requiring the Director to terminate 
     the appointment of the conservator. The court, upon the 
     merits, shall dismiss such action or shall direct the 
     Director to terminate the appointment of the conservator. 
     Such an action may be commenced only before the expiration of 
     the 20-day period beginning upon the appointment of the 
     conservator.
       (ii) Standard.--A decision of the Director to appoint a 
     conservator may be set aside under this subparagraph only if 
     the court finds that the decision was arbitrary, capricious, 
     an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with 
     applicable laws.
       (B) Stay.--
       (i) In general.--A conservator appointed pursuant to this 
     subsection or subsection (v) may request that any judicial 
     action or proceeding to which the conservator or the 
     Association is or may become a party be stayed for a period 
     not exceeding 45 days commencing upon the appointment of the 
     conservator. Upon petition, the court shall grant such stay 
     as to all parties.
       (ii) Federal agency as conservator.--In any case in which 
     the conservator appointed for the Association is a Federal 
     agency or an officer or employee of the Federal Government, 
     the conservator may make a request for a stay under clause 
     (i) only with the prior consent of the Attorney General and 
     subject to the direction and control of the Attorney General.
       (C) Actions and orders.--
       (i) Limitation on jurisdiction.--Except as otherwise 
     provided in this paragraph, no court may take any action 
     regarding the removal of a conservator or otherwise restrain 
     or affect the exercise of powers or functions of a 
     conservator.
       (ii) Enforcement of orders.--The Director, with the prior 
     consent of the Attorney General and subject to the direction 
     and control of the Attorney General, may apply to a court 
     which shall have the jurisdiction to enforce an order of the 
     Director relating to--
       (a) the conservatorship and the Association in 
     conservatorship; or
       (b) restraining or affecting the exercise of authority or 
     functions of a conservator.
       (3) Appointment by consent.--Notwithstanding paragraph (1), 
     the Director may appoint a conservator for the Association if 
     the Association, by an affirmative vote of a majority of its 
     board of directors or by an affirmative vote of a majority of 
     its shareholders, consents to such appointment.
       (4) Exclusive appointment authority and limitation.--The 
     Director shall have exclusive authority to appoint a 
     conservator for the Association. The Director may not appoint 
     as a conservator for the Association the Office of SLMA 
     Market Examination and Oversight, the Department of Treasury, 
     the Department of Education, or any officer or employee of 
     such Office or Departments.
       (5) Replacement of conservator.--The Director may, without 
     notice of hearing, replace a conservator with another 
     conservator. Such replacement shall not affect the right of 
     the Association under paragraph (2) to obtain judicial review 
     of the decision of the Director to appoint a conservator.
       (6) Examinations.--The Director may examine and supervise 
     any Association in conservatorship during the period in which 
     the Association continues to operate as a going concern.
       (7) Termination.--
       (A) Discretionary.--At any time the Director determines 
     that termination of a conservatorship pursuant to an 
     appointment under paragraph (1) is in the public interest and 
     may safety be accomplished, the Director may terminate the 
     conservatorship and permit the Association to resume the 
     transaction of its business subject to such terms, 
     conditions, and limitations as the Director may prescribe.
       (B) Mandatory.--Except upon a determination under paragraph 
     (1), the Director shall terminate a conservatorship pursuant 
     to this subsection or subsection (v) upon a determination by 
     the Director that the Association equals or exceeds the 
     minimum capital level for the Association established under 
     subsection (q). The Director may not impose any terms, 
     conditions, or limitations on the transaction of business of 
     the Association whose conservatorship is terminated under 
     this subparagraph.
       (8) Powers and Duties.--
       (A) General powers.--A conservator shall have all the 
     powers of the shareholders, directors, and officers of the 
     Association under conservatorship and may operate the 
     Association in the name of the Association, unless the 
     Director provides otherwise.
       (B) Limitations by director.--A conservator shall be 
     subject to any rules, regulations, and orders issued from 
     time to time by the Director and, except as otherwise 
     specifically provided in such rules, regulations, or orders 
     or in paragraph (9), shall have the same rights and 
     privileges and be subject to the same duties, restrictions, 
     penalties, conditions, and limitations applicable to 
     directors, officers, or employees of the Association.
       (C) Payment of creditors.--The Director may require a 
     conservator to set aside and make available for payment to 
     creditors any amounts that the Director determines may safely 
     be used for such purpose. All creditors who are similarly 
     situated shall be treated in a similar manner.
       (D) Compensation of conservator and employees.--A 
     conservator and professional employees (other than Federal 
     employees) appointed to represent or assist the conservator 
     may be compensated for activities conducted as conservator. 
     Compensation may not be provided in amounts greater than the 
     compensation paid to employees of the Federal Government or 
     similar services, except that the Director may provide for 
     compensation at higher rates (but not in excess of rates 
     prevailing in the private sector), if the Director determines 
     that compensation at higher rates is necessary in order to 
     recruit and retain competent personnel.
       (E) Expenses.--All expenses of a conservatorship pursuant 
     to this subsection (including compensation under subparagraph 
     (D)) shall be paid by the Association and shall be secured by 
     a lien on the Association, which shall have priority over any 
     other lien.
       (9) Liability Protections.--
       (A) Federal agencies and employees.--In any case in which 
     the conservator is a Federal agency or an officer or employee 
     of the Federal Government, the provisions of chapters 161 and 
     171 of title 28, United States Code, shall apply with respect 
     to the liability of the conservator for acts or omissions 
     performed pursuant to and in the course of the duties and 
     responsibilities of the conservatorship.
       (B) Other conservators.--In any case where the conservator 
     is not a conservator described in subparagraph (A), the 
     conservator shall not be personally liable for damages in 
     tort or otherwise for acts or omissions performed pursuant to 
     and in the course of the duties and responsibilities of the 
     conservatorship, unless such acts or omissions constitute 
     gross negligence, including any similar conduct or any form 
     of intentional tortious conduct.
       (C) Indemnification.--The Director, with the approval of 
     the Attorne General, may indemnify the conservator on such 
     terms as the Director considers appropriate.
       (x) Capital Restoration Plans.--
       (1) Contents.--Each capital restoration plan submitted 
     under this Act shall set forth a feasible plan for the 
     Association to equal or exceed the minimum capital level for 
     the Association and for restoring the level of regulatory 
     capital of the Association subject to the plan to not less 
     than the risk-based capital level for the Association. Each 
     capital restoration plan shall--
       (A) specify the level of capital the Association will 
     achieve and maintain;
       (B) describe the actions that the Association will take to

     and to restore the regulatory capital of the Association to 
     not less than the risk-based capital level for the 
     Association;
       (C) establish a schedule for completing the capital 
     restoration plan;

     comply with any mandatory and discretionary requirements 
     imposed under this Act.
       (2) Deadlines for submission.--The Director shall, by 
     regulation, establish a deadline for submission of a capital 
     restoration plan, which may not be more than 45 days after 
     the Association is notified in writing that a plan is 
     required. The regulations shall provide that the Director may 
     extend the deadline to the extent that the Director 
     determines necessary. Any extension of the deadline shall be 
     in writing and for a time certain.
       (3) Approval.--The Director shall review each capital 
     restoration plan submitted under this subsection and, not 
     later than 45 days after submission of the plan, approve or 
     disapprove the plan. The Director may extend the period for 
     approval or disapproval for any plan for a single additional 
     45-day period if the Director determines it necessary. The 
     Director shall notify any Association submitting a plan in 
     writing of the approval or disapproval for the plan (which 
     shall include the reasons for any disapproval of the plan) 
     and of any extension of the period for approval or 
     disapproval. The Director shall provide by regulation for 
     resubmission and review of any plans disapproved.
       (y) Judicial Review of Director Action--Generally.--
       (1) Jurisdiction.--
       (A) Filing of petition.--Except as otherwise provided in 
     this act, the Association within level I, II, or III, that is 
     the subject of a mandatory or discretionary supervisory 
     action taken under this Act by the Director (other than 
     action under subsection (v), (w), (bb), (cc) or (gg)) may 
     obtain review of the action by filing, within 10 days after 
     receiving written notice of the Director's action, a written

     modified, terminated, or set aside.
       (B) Place for filing.--A petition filed pursuant to this 
     subsection shall be filed in the United States Court of 
     Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
       (2) Scope of review.--An action taken by the Director under 
     this Act (other than under subsection (v), (w), (bb), (cc) or 
     (gg)) may be modified, terminated, or set aside only if the 
     court finds, on the record on which the Director acted, that 
     the action of the Director was arbitrary, capricious, an 
     abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with 
     applicable laws.
       (3) Unavailability of stay.--The commencement of 
     proceedings for judicial review pursuant to this subsection 
     shall not operate as a stay of any action taken by the 
     Director. Except with respect to any Association within level 
     I or II that has not been reclas-

[[Page 423]]

     sified to level III under subsection (s)(2) or (t)(3), no 
     court shall have jurisdiction to stay, enjoin, or otherwise 
     delay any mandatory or discretionary supervisory enforcement 
     action taken by the Director under this Act pending judicial 
     review of the action.
       (4) Limitation on jurisdiction.--Except as provided in this 
     subsection, no court shall have jurisdiction to affect, by 
     injunction or otherwise, the issuance or effectiveness of any 
     action of the Director under this Act (other than action 
     under subsection (v), (w), (bb), (cc), or (gg)) or to review, 
     modify, suspend, terminate, or set aside such action.
       (z) Examinations.--
       (1) Timing.--
       (A) Annual examination.--The Director shall annually 
     conduct an examination under this subsection of the 
     Association to determine the condition of the Association for 
     the purpose of ensuring its financial safety and soundness.
       (B) Other examinations.--Whenever the Director determines 
     that an examination is necessary to determine the condition 
     of the Association for the purpose of ensuring its financial 
     safety and soundness the Director may conduct an examination 
     under this subsection.
       (2) Examiners.--The Director shall appoint examiners to 
     conduct examinations of the Association under this 
     subsection.
       (3) Technical experts.--The Director may obtain the 
     services of any technical experts the Director considers 
     necessary and appropriate to provide temporary technical 
     assistance relating to examinations to the Director and 
     officers and employees of the Office of SLMA Market 
     Examination and Oversight. The Director shall describe, in 
     the public record of each examination, the nature and extent 
     of any such temporary technical assistance.
       (4) Oaths, evidence, subpoena powers.--In connection with 
     examinations under this subsection, the Director may--
       (A) administer oaths and affirmations;
       (B) take and preserve testimony under oath; and
       (C) issue subpoenas requiring the attendance and testimony 
     of witnesses and the production of evidence.

     The attendance of witnesses and the production of evidence 
     may be required from any place within any State at any 
     designated place where a hearing relating to an examination 
     is conducted.
       (5) Second examination by gao.--Upon a determination by the 
     Director that an examination of the Association is necessary 
     under paragraph (1)(B), the Comptroller General shall conduct 
     an examination of the Association solely to provide an 
     independent determination regarding the safety and soundness 
     of the Association. The examination shall be conducted at a 
     time and in a manner that results in minimal disruption to 
     the normal business activities of the Association. The 
     Comptroller General may obtain the services of technical 
     experts in the same manner as the Director may obtain such 
     services under paragraph (3), except that any entity that 
     assists the Director in examining the Association may not 
     concurrently assist the Comptroller General to examine the 
     Association under this subsection.
       (aa) Safe Harbor.--
       (1) Voluntary ratings.--Upon request from the Association, 
     the Director shall contract with two nationally recognized 
     statistical rating organizations--
       (A) to assess the likelihood that the Association might not 
     be able to meet its future obligations from its own resources 
     and to express that likelihood as a traditional credit 
     rating; and
       (B) to review the rating of the Association for one year 
     from the effective date of the rating.
       (2) Qualification for safe harbor.--
       (A) Determination by director.--If, after receiving a 
     rating from each statistical rating organization described in 
     paragraph (1), the Director determines that the Association 
     merits the highest investment grade rating awarded by that 
     organization, the Association shall be deemed, effective for 
     one year following the date of the Director's determination, 
     to meet the minimum risk-based capital levels for all 
     relevant capital measures for purposes of subsection(s).
       (B) Written finding required.--If--
       (i) each statistical rating organization described in 
     paragraph (1) assigns the Association the highest investment 
     grade rating awarded by that organization, and
       (ii) the Director fails to make the determination described 
     in subparagraph (A),

     the Director shall make a written finding detailing the 
     reasons for the Director's failure to make such 
     determination.
       (3) Early termination of safe harbor.--Paragraph (2) shall 
     cease to apply at such time as any such statistical rating 
     organization described in paragraph (1) notifies the 
     Director, and the Director determines, that the Association 
     no longer merits the highest investment grade rating awarded 
     by that organization. The Director shall promptly notify the 
     Association that the Director has received the notice 
     described in this paragraph.
       (4) Assessments for ratings.--The Director shall impose and 
     collect an assessment on the Association, if it requests 
     ratings under paragraph (1), to cover the full cost to the 
     Federal Government of obtaining the ratings.
       (5) Discretionary ratings.--Nothing in this subsection 
     shall prevent the Director from contracting with any 
     nationally recognized statistical rating organization to rate 
     the Association at any time and for any purpose that the 
     Director deems appropriate.
       (6) Definition of nationally recognized statistical rating 
     organization.--For purposes of this subsection, the term 
     ``nationally recognized statistical rating organization'' 
     means any entity effectively recognized by the Division of 
     Market Regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission 
     as a nationally recognized statistical rating organization 
     for the purposes of the capital rates for broker-dealers.
       (bb) Cease-and-Desist Proceedings.--
       (1) Grounds for issuance.--The Director may issue and serve 
     upon the Association or any executive officer of the 
     Association a notice of charges under this subsection if, in 
     the determination of the Director, the Association or 
     executive officer--
       (A) is engaging or has engaged, or the Director has 
     reasonable cause to believe that the Association or executive 
     officer is about to engage, in any activity that could result 
     in a rapid depletion of the core capital of the Association; 
     or
       (B) is violating or has violated, or the Director has 
     reasonable cause to believe that the Association or executive 
     officer is about to violate--
       (i) any law, rule, or regulation; or
       (ii) any written agreement entered into by the Association 
     with the Director.
       (2) Procedure.--
       (A) Notice of charges.--Each notice of charges shall 
     contain a statement of the facts constituting the alleged 
     violation or violations or the activity that could result in 
     a rapid depletion of the core capital of the Association, and 
     shall fix a time and place at which a hearing will be held to 
     determine whether an order to cease and desist from such 
     violation or activity should issue against the Association or 
     executive officer.
       (B) Date of hearing.--A hearing pursuant to a notice under 
     subparagraph (A) shall be fixed for a date not earlier than 
     30 days nor later than 60 days after service of the notice 
     unless an earlier or a later date is met by the Director at 
     the request of the Association or executive officer served.
       (C) Failure to appear.--Unless the Association or executive 
     officer served appears at the hearing through a duly 
     authorized representative, the Association or executive 
     officer shall be deemed to have consented to the issuance of 
     the cease-and-desist order.
       (D) Issuance of order.--In the event of such consent, or 
     if, upon the record made at any such hearing, the Director 
     finds that any violation or activity specified in the notice 
     of charges has been established, the Director may issue and 
     serve upon the Association or executive officer an order 
     requiring the Association or executive officer to cease and 
     desist from any such violation or activity and to take 
     affirmative action to correct the conditions resulting from 
     any such violation or activity.
       (3) Affirmative action to correct conditions resulting from 
     violations or activities.--The authority under this 
     subsection and subsection (cc) to issue any order which 
     requires the Association or executive officer to take 
     affirmative action to correct or remedy any conditions 
     resulting from any violation or activity with respect to 
     which such order is issued includes the authority to require 
     such Association or executive officer--
       (A) to make restitution or provide reimbursement, 
     indemnification, or guarantee against loss if the violation 
     or activity involves a reckless disregard for the law or any 
     applicable regulations or prior order of the Director or the 
     Association or executive officer was unjustly enriched in 
     connection with such violation or practice;
       (B) to restrict the growth of the Association;
       (C) to dispose of any asset involved;
       (D) to rescind agreements or contracts;
       (E) to employ qualified officers or employees (who may be 
     subject to approval by the Director at the direction of the 
     Director); and
       (F) to take such other action as the Director determines 
     appropriate.
       (4) Authority to limit activities.--The authority to issue 
     an order under this subsection or subsection (cc) includes 
     the authority to place limitations on the activities or 
     functions of the Association or any director or executive 
     officer of the Association.
       (5) Effective date.--A cease-and-desist order under this 
     subsection shall become effective upon the expiration of the 
     30-day period beginning on the service of the order upon the 
     Association or executive officer concerned (except in the 
     case of a cease-and-desist order issued upon consent, which 
     shall become effective at the time specified therein), and 
     shall remain effective and enforceable as provided in the 
     order, except to the extent that the order is stayed, 
     modified, terminated, or set aside by action of the Director 
     or otherwise as provided in this Act.
       (cc) Temporary Cease-and-Desist Orders.--
       (1) Grounds for issuance and scope.--Whenever the Director 
     determines that any violation, threatened violation, or 
     activity that could result in a rapid depletion of the 
     capital of the Association, specified in the notice of 
     charges served upon the Association or executive officer 
     pursuant to subsection (bb)(1), or the continuation thereof, 
     is likely--
       (A) to cause insolvency of the Association, or
       (B) to weaken the condition of the Association prior to the 
     completion of the proceedings conducted pursuant to 
     subsection (bb)(2),

     the Director may issue a temporary order requiring the 
     Association or executive officer

[[Page 424]]

     to cease-and-desist from any such violation or practice and 
     to take affirmative action to prevent and remedy such 
     insolvency or condition pending completion of such 
     proceedings. Such order may include any requirement 
     authorized under subsection (bb)(3).
       (2) Effective date.--An order issued pursuant to paragraph 
     (1) shall become effective upon service upon the Association 
     or executive officer and, unless set aside, limited, or 
     suspended by a court in proceedings pursuant to paragraph 
     (4), shall remain in effect and enforceable pending the 
     completion of this proceedings pursuant to such notice and 
     shall remain effective until the Director dismisses the 
     charges specified in the notice or until superseded by a 
     cease-and-desist order issued pursuant to subsection (bb).
       (3) Incomplete or inaccurate records.--
       (A) Temporary order.--If a notice of charges served under 
     subsection (bb)(1) specifies that the books and records of 
     the Association served are so incomplete or inaccurate that 
     the Director is unable, through the normal supervisory 
     process, to determine the financial condition of the 
     Association or the details or the purpose of any transaction 
     or transactions that may have a material effect on the 
     financial condition of that Association, the Director may 
     issue a temporary order requiring--
       (i) the cessation of any activity or practice which gave 
     rise, whether in whole or in part, to the incomplete or 
     inaccurate state of the books or records; or
       (ii) affirmative action to restore the books or records to 
     a complete and accurate state, until the completion of the 
     proceedings under subsection (bb).
       (B) Effective period.--Any temporary order issued under 
     subparagraph (A)--
       (i) shall become effective upon service; and
       (ii) unless set aside, limited, or suspended by a court in 
     proceedings pursuant to paragraph (4), shall remain in effect 
     and enforceable until the earlier of--
       (a) the completion of the proceeding initiated under 
     subsection (bb) in connection with the notice of charges; or
       (b) the date the Director determines, by examination or 
     otherwise, that the books and records of the Association are 
     accurate and reflect the financial condition of the 
     Association.
       (4) Judicial review.--Within 10 days after the Association 
     or executive officer has been served with a temporary cease-
     and-desist order pursuant to this subsection, the Association 
     or executive officer may apply to the United States District 
     Court for the District of Columbia for an injunction setting 
     aside, limiting, or suspending the enforcement, operation, or 
     effectiveness of the order pending the completion of the 
     administrative proceedings pursuant to the notice of charges 
     served upon the Association or executive officer under 
     subsection (bb)(1). Such court shall have jurisdiction to 
     issue such injunction.
       (5) Enforcement by attorney general.--In the case of 
     violation or threatened violation of, or failure to obey, a 
     temporary order issued pursuant to this subsection, the 
     Director may request the Attorney General of the United 
     States to bring an action in the United States District Court 
     for the District of Columbia for an injunction to enforce 
     such order. If the court finds any such violation, threatened 
     violation, or failure to obey, the court shall issue such 
     injunction.
       (dd) Hearings.--
       (1) Venue and procedure.--Any hearing under subsection 
     (bb), (cc), or (gg)--
       (A) shall be held in the Federal judicial district or in 
     the territory in which the home office of the Association is 
     located unless the Association consents to another place; and
       (B) shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of 
     chapter 5 of title 5, United States Code.
       (2) Issuance of order.--
       (A) In general.--After any such hearing, and within 90 days 
     after the Director has notified the parties that the case has 
     been submitted to the Director for final decision, the 
     Director shall render the decision (which shall include 
     findings of fact upon which the decision is predicated) and 
     shall issue and serve upon each party to the proceeding an 
     order or orders consistent with the provisions of this Act.
       (B) Modification.--Except as provided in subsection 
     (cc)(4), judicial review of any such order shall be 
     exclusively as provided in subsection (ee). Unless such a 
     petition for review is timely filed as provided in subsection 
     (ee), and thereafter until the record in the proceeding has 
     been filed as so provided, the Director may at any time, 
     modify, terminate, or set aside any such order, upon such 
     notice and in such manner as the Director considers proper. 
     Upon such filing of the record, the Director may modify, 
     terminate, or set aside any such order with permission of the 
     court.
       (ee) Judicial review of cease-and-desist orders and civil 
     money penalties.--
       (1) Commencement.--Any party to a proceeding under 
     subsection (bb) or (gg) may obtain review of any final order 
     issued under such subsection by filing in the United States 
     Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, within 
     30 days after the date of service of such order, a written 
     petition praying that the order of the Director be modified, 
     terminated, or set aside. The clerk of the court shall 
     transmit a copy of the petition to the Director.
       (2) Filing of record.--Upon receiving a copy of a petition, 
     the Director shall file in the court the record in the 
     proceeding, as provided in section 2112 of title 28, United 
     States Code.
       (3) Jurisdiction.--Upon the filing of a petition, such 
     court shall have jurisdiction, which upon the filing of the 
     record by the Director shall (except as provided in the last 
     sentence of subsection (dd)(2)(B)) be exclusive, to affirm, 
     modify, terminate, or set aside, in whole or in part, the 
     order of the Director.
       (4) Review.--Review of such proceedings shall be governed 
     by chapter 7 of title 5, United States Code.
       (5) Order to pay penalty.--Notwithstanding any other 
     provision of law, such court shall have the authority in any 
     such review to order payment any penalty imposed by the 
     Director under this Act.
       (6) No automatic stay.--The commencement of proceedings for 
     judicial review under this subsection shall not, unless

     order issued by the Director.
       (ff) Enforcement and jurisdiction.--
       (1) Enforcement.--The Director may request the Attorney 
     General of the United States to bring an action in the United 
     States District Court for the District of Columbia for the 
     enforcement of any effective notice or order issued under 
     this Act, and the court shall have jurisdiction and power to 
     order and require compliance herewith.
       (2) Limitation on jurisdiction.--Except as otherwise 
     provided in this Act, no court shall have jurisdiction to 
     affect, by injunction or otherwise, the issuance or 
     enforcement of any notice or order under subsection (bb) or 
     (cc), or to review, modify, suspend, terminate, or set aside 
     any such notice or order.
       (gg) Civil money penalties.--
       (1) Failure to submit reports.--The Director may impose a 
     civil money penalty, in accordance with the provisions of 
     this subsection, on any Association that fails to 
     make any report required under section 439(r) of the Higher 
     Education Act within the period of time established by the 
     Director for submission of the report (except in the case of 
     a report submitted minimally late). The amount of the 
     penalty, as determined by the Director, may not exceed $5,000 
     per day for each day during which such failure continues.
       (2) Unintentional violations.--The Director may impose a 
     civil money penalty, in accordance with the provisions of 
     this subsection, on any Association that, without knowledge--
       (A) violates any law, rule, or regulation;
       (B) violates any final order or temporary order issued 
     pursuant to subsection (bb) or (cc); or
       (C) violates any written agreement between the Association 
     and the Director.
     The amount of the penalty, as determined by the Director, may 
     not exceed $5,000 for each day during which such violation 
     continues.
       (3) Intentional violations.--The Director may impose a 
     civil money penalty, in accordance with the provisions of 
     this subsection, on any Association that--
       (A) submits to the Director any false or misleading report 
     or information with actual knowledge of inaccuracy, 
     deliberate ignorance of inaccuracy, or reckless disregard for 
     accuracy; or
       (B) knowingly commits any violation described in paragraph 
     (2).

     The amount of the penalty, as determined by the Director, may 
     not exceed, for each day during which such violation, 
     practice, or breach continues, the lesser of (i) $1,000,000, 
     or (ii) one percent of the total assets of the Association.
       (4) Procedures.--
       (A) Establishment.--The Director shall establish standards 
     and procedures governing the imposition of civil money 
     penalties under paragraphs (1), (2), or (3). The standards 
     and procedures--
       (i) shall provide for the Director to make the 
     determination to impose the penalty;
       (ii) shall provide for the imposition of a penalty only 
     after the Association has been given notice of, and 
     opportunity for, a hearing on the record; and
       (iii) may provide for review by the Director of any 
     determination or order, or interlocutory ruling, arising from 
     a hearing.
       (B) Final orders.--If the Association does not request a 
     hearing within 20 days after receipt of a notice of 
     opportunity for hearing, the imposition of a penalty shall 
     constitute a final and unappealable determination. If the 
     Director reviews the determination on order, the Director may 
     affirm, modify, or reverse the determination or order, and 
     shall state with reasonable specificity the basis upon which 
     any such affirmation, modification, or reversal is made. If 
     the Director does not review the determination or order 
     within 90 days after the issuance of the determination or 
     order, the determination or order shall be final.
       (C) Factors in determining amount of penalty.--In 
     determining the amount of a penalty under paragraph (1), (2), 
     or (3), the Director shall give consideration to such factors 
     as the gravity of the violation, any history of prior 
     violations (including violations occurring before the date 
     under paragraph (9)), the effect of the penalty on the safety 
     and soundness of the Association, any injury to the public, 
     any benefits received, and deterrence of future violations, 
     and any other factors the Director may determine by 
     regulation.
       (D) Review of imposition of penalty.--The determination or 
     order of the Director imposing a penalty under paragraph (1), 
     (2), or (3) shall not be subject to review, except as 
     provided in subsection (ee).

[[Page 425]]

       (5) Action to collect penalty.--If the Association fails to 
     comply with a determination or order of the Director imposing 
     a civil money penalty under paragraph (1), (2), or (3), after 
     the determination or orders is no longer subject to review as 
     provided under paragraph (4)(A) and subsection (ee), the 
     Director may request the Attorney General of the United 
     States to bring an action in the United States District Court 
     for the District of Columbia to obtain a monetary judgment 
     against the Association and such other relief as may be 
     available. The monetary judgment may, in the discretion of 
     the court, include any attorneys fees and other expenses 
     incurred by the United States in connection with the action. 
     In an action under this paragraph, the validity and 
     appropriateness of the determination or order of the Director 
     imposing the penalty shall not be subject to review.
       (6) Settlement by director.--The Director may comprise, 
     modify, or remit any civil money penalty which may be, or has 
     been imposed under this subsection.
       (7) Availability of other remedies.--Any civil money 
     penalty under this subsection shall be in addition to any 
     other available civil remedy and may be imposed whether or 
     not the Director imposes other administrative sanctions.
       (8) Deposit of penalties.--The Director shall deposit any 
     civil money penalties collected under this subsection into 
     the general fund of the Treasury.
       (9) Applicability.--This subsection shall apply only to 
     violations under paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) occurring on or 
     after January 1, 1993.
       (hh) Notice of Service.--Any service required or authorized 
     to be made by the Director under this Act may be made by 
     registered mail, or in such other manner reasonably 
     calculated to give actual notice as the Director may by 
     regulation or otherwise provide.
       (ii) Subpoena Authority.--
       (1) In general.--In the course of or in connection with any 
     administrative proceeding under this Act, the Director shall

       (B) to take or cause to be taken depositions;
       (C) to issue subpoenas and subpoenas duces tecum; and
       (D) to revoke, quash, or modify subpoenas and subpoenas 
     duces tecum issued by the Director.
       (2) Witnesses and documents.--The attendance of witnesses 
     and the production of documents provided for in this 
     subsection may be required from any place in any State at any 
     designated place where such proceeding is being conducted.
       (3) Enforcement.--The Director may request the Attorney 
     General of the United States to bring an action in the United 
     States district court for the judicial district in which such 
     proceeding is being conducted, or where the witness resides 
     or conducts business, or the United States District Court for 
     the District of Columbia, for enforcement of any subpoena or 
     subpoena duces tecum issued pursuant to this subsection. Such 
     courts shall have jurisdiction and power to order and require 
     compliance therewith.
       (4) Fees and expenses.--Witnesses subpoenaed under this 
     subsection shall be paid the same fees and mileage that are 
     paid witnesses in the district courts of the United States. 
     Any court having jurisdiction of any proceeding instituted 
     under this subsection by the Association may allow to any 
     such party such reasonable expenses and attorneys fees as the 
     court deems just and proper. Such expenses and fees shall be 
     paid by the Association or from its assets.
       (jj) Study of Impact of Privatization of the Association.--
       (1) In General.--The Comptroller General of the United 
     States, in consultation with the Secretary of Education and 
     the Secretary of the Treasury, shall conduct and submit to 
     the Congress, not later than the expiration of the 1-year 
     period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act, a 
     study regarding the effect of repealing the Federal charter 
     of the Student Loan Marketing Association and allowing the 
     Association to continue to operate as a fully private entity.
       (2) Requirements.--In evaluating the effect of such action, 
     the study shall particularly examine the impact on--

       (B) the availability of financing for student loans and the 
     interest rates for such loans in the secondary markets;
       (C) the size, liquidity, and stability of the secondary 
     market for student loans; and
       (D) the overall banking and financial system

     The study shall also examine the direct and indirect monetary 
     benefits that accrue to the Student Loan Marketing 
     Association from its quasi-governmental status.
       (3) Information.--The Student Loan Marketing Association 
     shall provide full and prompt access to the Comptroller 
     General, the Secretary of Education and the Secretary of the 
     Treasury to any books, records, and other information 
     requested for the purposes of conducting the study under this 
     subsection.

Para. 35.16  recorded vote

  A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of 
the Whole on the following amendment submitted by Mr. ROHRBACHER:

     --Page 700, strike lines 21 and 22 and insert the following:
       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) racial discrimination is indefensible, improper, and 
     immoral;
       (2) it has been reported that many institutions of higher 
     education have instituted admissions quotas designed to limit 
     the admission of Asian-Americans;
       (3) these restrictive quotas are similar to those 
     instituted in the 1920's to limit the admission of Jewish 
     students;
       (4) statistics show that Asian-American students face 
     greater obstacles in their attempts to attend institutions of 
     higher education than students of other races;
       (5) The Office of Civil Rights of the Department of 
     Education is conducting investigations at the University of 
     California at Berkeley and the University of California at 
     Los Angeles to determine whether the schools in violation of 
     title VI (relating to nondiscrimination in federally assisted 
     programs) of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d-
     2000d-6); and
       (6) the Chancellor of the University of California at 
     Berkeley apologized to Asian-Americans for an admission 
     process of the school which had a negative impact on the 
     admission of Asian-Americans.
     --Page 701, line 2, insert before the semi-colon the 
     following: ``because of their race in violation of Regents of 
     the University of California v. Bakke, 438 U.S. 265 (1978)''.

     amount of the maximum grant for the academic year for which 
     the determination is made shall be the amount of the grant 
     for the preceding academic year.

     (as determined under subparagraph (D)) and the student's 
     expected family contribution (as determined under part F of

       ``(i) by subtracting $4,500 from the amount of the maximum 
     grant established under paragraph (2)(A)(ii) for such 
     academic year;

     the cells specifying an award amount in the tables following 
     clause (v);

     determined pursuant to clause (I)) to indicate that such row 
     applies to all higher tuition amounts; and
       ``(III) by reducing the award amount in any such row that 
     exceeds such maximum grant to an amount equal to such maximum

     from disadvantaged backgrounds and students with disabilities 
     far exceeds currently available services;
       ``(2) success in secondary schools is an important 
     determinant of success of postsecondary education;
       ``(3) individuals must be served at younger ages to make 
     them successful in secondary school and postsecondary 
     education;
       ``(4) many elementary and secondary school students and 
     their parents are not aware of college opportunities and the 
     options for financing college early enough in their schooling 
     to allow them to study and plan for their graduation from 
     secondary school and to apply to colleges;
       ``(5) many potential college students do not complete 
     secondary school or pursue college education due to financial 
     barriers;
       ``(6) emerging demographic projections of children in 
     prekindergarten through high school age groups point to a 
     growing number who will likely experience such barriers;
       ``(7) new incentives must be found to promote school 
     performance and reduce the number of students who drop out 
     before completing secondary school by assuring that low-
     income students and students with disabilities who complete 
     secondary school or the equivalent and are accepted into 
     college will have the opportunity to receive a college 
     education, and to inform students early in their education of 
     such opportunities;
       ``(8) for the well-being of the United States and in order 
     to develop the full potential of each citizen, all students, 
     including students with disabilities, and their families must 
     receive pertinent and thorough higher education counseling 
     and information on the availability and extent of student 
     financial assistance programs;
       ``(9) information on postsecondary education opportunities, 
     with emphasis on precollege guidance and college admission 
     counseling should be made readily available to school 
     counselors, teachers (including vocational and special 
     education teachers), and school administrative staff;
       ``(10) all schools and public libraries should have 
     thorough and up-to-date information on financial assistance 
     programs;
       ``(11) schools should have access to information on various 
     types of precollege guidance counseling programs, including 
     what programs have been successful in what environments, such 
     as rural, suburban and urban, in order to fashion programs 
     that are most beneficial to their community;
       ``(12) counselors, teachers, and principals in schools 
     which have a low rate of students who continue on to higher 
     education should receive extra training in precollege 
     guidance and financial assistance opportunities, and 
     especially in early intervention programs; and
       ``(13) counseling and motivating students to strive for 
     postsecondary education opportunities will have the added 
     benefit of retaining more students in high school to complete 
     the work necessary to obtain their high school diplomas.

     ``SEC. 401A. PROGRAM AUTHORITY; AUTHORIZATION OF 
                   APPROPRIATIONS.

       ``(a) Grants and Contracts Authorized.--The Secretary 
     shall, in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, 
     carry out a program of making grants and contracts designed 
     to identify qualified individuals from disadvantaged 
     backgrounds, to prepare them for a program of postsecondary 
     education, to provide support services for such students who 
     are pursuing programs of postsecondary education, to motivate 
     and prepare students for doctoral programs, and to train 
     individuals serving or preparing for service in programs and 
     projects so designed.
       ``(b) Eligible Grant and Contract Recipients.--For the 
     purposes described in subsection (a), the Secretary is 
     authorized, without regard to section 3709 of the Revised 
     Statutes (41 U.S.C. 5), to make grants to, and contracts 
     with, institutions of higher education, public and private 
     agencies and organizations, combinations of such 
     institutions, agencies, and organizations, and, in 
     exceptional circumstances, secondary schools for planning, 
     developing, or carrying out one or more of the services 
     assisted under this chapter.
       ``(c) Awarding Grants and Contracts.--(1) In making grants 
     and contracts under this chapter, the Secretary shall 
     consider the prior experience of service delivery under the 
     particular program for which funds are sought by each 
     applicant. For fiscal years after 1985, the level of 
     consideration given to prior experience shall not vary from 
     the level of consideration given this factor for fiscal year 
     1985.
       ``(2) The Secretary shall fund applications received under 
     this chapter in the order of the scores received in the peer 
     review process required under section 1210 as adjusted for 
     prior experience under section 401A(c)(1).
       ``(3) In any year in which appropriations permit, the 
     Secretary shall provide inflationary increases to 
     institutions continuing to sponsor projects under this 
     chapter. Such inflation adjustment shall reflect the rate of 
     increase in the Consumer Price Index.
       ``(4) After making the adjustment required in section 
     401A(c)(3), in any year in which the appropriations 
     authorized under this chapter exceed the prior year 
     appropriation as adjusted for inflation, the Secretary shall 
     use 80 percent of the amount appropriated above the current 
     services level to bring the award up to the minimum grant 
     level or the amount requested by the institution or agency, 
     whichever is less. The minimum grant level (A) for programs 
     authorized under section 401D or 401G, shall not be less than 
     $170,000 for fiscal year 1993; (B) for programs authorized 
     under section 401B or 401F shall not be less than $180,000 
     for fiscal year 1994; and (C) for programs authorized under 
     section 401C or 401E shall not be less than $190,000 for 
     fiscal year 1995.
       ``(5) Grants or contracts made under this chapter should be 
     for a period of five years, subject to continuing 
     appropriations allowing for such awards.

     sponsoring projects authorized under this chapter, the 
     Secretary shall inform the institution, agency, or 
     organization regarding the status of their application for

     payments than were previously scheduled.
     Guaranty agencies shall not be precluded from permitting the 
     parties to such a loan from entering into a forbearance

     under this part for each year for which the determination is 
     made which equals, or exceeds, 95 percent of all due 
     diligence requirements with respect to such loans serviced 
     during the period by the eligible lender, or on which loan 
     collection was attempted by the guaranty agency, the 
     Secretary shall designate the eligible lender or guaranty 
     agency, as the case may be, for exceptional performance. The 
     Secretary shall notify each appropriate guaranty agency of 
     the eligible lenders designated under this paragraph.

     of the loan portfolio of such eligible lender conducted 
     annually by a qualified independent organization or person in 
     accordance with standards established by the Comptroller 
     General and the Secretary. The standards shall include a 
     defined statistical sampling technique designed to measure 
     the performance rating of the eligible lender for the purpose 
     of this paragraph. Each eligible lender shall submit the 
     audit required by this paragraph to the Secretary and to each 
     appropriate guaranty agency.
       ``(ii) Each appropriate guaranty agency shall provide the 
     Secretary with such other information in its possession

     of the defaulted loan portfolio of such agency conducted 
     annually by a qualified independent organization or person in 
     accordance with standards established by the Comptroller 
     General and the Secretary. The standards shall include

     part, the holder of loans insured by the guaranty agency may 
     submit insurance claims directly to the Secretary and the 
     Secretary shall pay to the holder the full insurance 
     obligation of the guaranty agency, in accordance with 
     insurance requirements no more stringent than those of the 
     guaranty agency. Such arrangements shall continue until the 
     Secretary is satisfied that the loans have been transferred 
     to another guarantor who can meet the insurance obligations 
     or a successor will assume the outstanding insurance 
     obligations.

       ``(1) Information collection; standards.--Each guaranty 
     agency shall provide, on at least an annual basis as 
     determined by the Secretary, financial information (including 
     at a minimum the amount of current reserves, cash 
     disbursements, and accounts payable and receivable) requested 
     by the Secretary to use in an evaluation of the financial 
     solvency of the agency. The Secretary, based on the 
     information provided under this paragraph, shall establish a 
     standard for use in determining which guaranty agencies shall 
     be subject to guaranty agency management plans under 
     paragraph (2).
       ``(2) Management plans.--Any guaranty agency determined by 
     the Secretary, under the standards established pursuant to

     subject to a guaranty agency management plan. The plan shall 
     be drafted by the guaranty agency and shall identify 
     management, investment, operational, and policy changes 
     designed to improve the financial viability of the agency. 
     The plan shall be submitted to the Secretary under a schedule 
     and in a form established by the Secretary, and shall be 
     subject to approval by the Secretary.
       ``(3) Agency failure to submit acceptable plan or to 
     improve under plan.--If a guaranty agency fails to submit a 
     guaranty agency management plan acceptable to the Secretary 
     on a timely basis, the Secretary determines that the guaranty 
     agency has failed to improve substantially its administrative 
     and financial condition in accordance with its management

     determining the number of students who default before the end 
     of such fiscal year, the Secretary shall, in calculating the 
     cohort default rate, exclude any loans which, due to improper 
     servicing or collection, would result in an inaccurate or 
     incomplete calculation of the cohort default rate. For any 
     fiscal year in which less than 30 of the institution's 
     current and former students enter repayment, the term `cohort 
     default rate' means the percentage of such current and former 
     students who entered repayment on such loans in any of the 
     three most recent fiscal years and who default before the end 
     of the fiscal year immediately following the year in which 
     they entered repayment. A loan on which a payment is made by 
     the institution of higher education, its owner, agency, 
     contractor, employee, or any other entity or individual 
     affiliated with such institution, in order to avoid default 
     by the borrower, is considered as in default for the purposes 
     of this subsection. The Secretary shall prescribe regulations 
     designed to prevent an institution from evading the 
     application to that institution of a default rate 
     determination under this subsection through the use of such 
     measures as branching, consolidation, change of ownership or 
     control or other means as determined by the Secretary.''.

       ``(2) If under paragraph (1) of this subsection an 
     institution returns more than 10 percent of its allocation, 
     the institution's allocation for the next fiscal year shall 
     be reduced by the amount returned. The Secretary may waive 
     this paragraph for a specific institution if the Secretary 
     finds that enforcing it is contrary to the interest of the 
     program.''.

     ``SEC. 478. REGULATIONS; UPDATED TABLES.

       ``(a) Authority To Prescribe Regulations Restricted.--(1) 
     Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary 
     shall not have the authority to prescribe regulations to 
     carry out this part except--
       ``(A) to prescribe updated tables in accordance with 
     subsections (b) through (e) of this section; or
       ``(B) to propose modifications in the need analysis 
     methodology required by this part.
       ``(2) Any regulation proposed by the Secretary that (A) 
     updates tables in a manner that does not comply with 
     subsections (b) through (e) of this section, or (B) that 
     proposes modifications under paragraph (1)(B) of this 
     subsection, shall not be effective unless approved by joint 
     resolution of the Congress by May 1 following the date such 
     regulations are published in the Federal Register in 
     accordance with section 482. If the Congress fails to approve 
     such regulations by such May 1, the Secretary shall publish 
     in the Federal Register in accordance with section 482 
     updated tables for the applicable award year that are 
     prescribed in accordance with subsections (b) through (e) of 
     this section.
       ``(b) Income Protection Allowance.--(1) For each award year 
     after award year 1992-1993, the Secretary shall publish in 
     the Federal Register a revised table of income protection 
     allowances for the purpose of sections 475(c)(4) and 
     477(b)(4). Such revised table shall be developed by using the 
     most recent data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey 
     Integrated Survey Data and multiplying it as necessary by the 
     percentage change in the Consumer Price Index. The income 
     protection allowance for a family of three with one in 
     college is equal to the lower living standard less a 
     percentage for sales taxes (determined in accordance with 
     paragraph (2)), less an amount (determined in accordance with 
     paragraph (3)) for education expenditures, and less a 
     student-in-college allowance (determined in accordance with 
     paragraph (4)). The result is multiplied by the percentage 
     change in the Consumer Price Index. The income protection 
     allowance for other families is determined by using the 
     appropriate equivalency scale in paragraph (5).
       ``(2) From the mean total household expenditures 
     (prevailing standard), a 5 percent allowance is subtracted 
     for sales taxes. The result is multiplied by 75 percent to 
     reach the median total household expenditures and again 
     multiplied by 67 percent to arrive at the lower living 
     standard.
       ``(3) Education expenditures are those associated with 
     elementary, secondary, and postsecondary tuition as 
     identified in the Consumer Expenditure Survey Integrated 
     Survey Data. The result is multiplied by 75 percent to reach 
     the median total expenditures in these categories and again 
     multiplied by 67 percent to arrive at the lower living 
     standard.
       ``(4) The student-in-college adjustment is equal to nine 
     months of mean individual expenses for food, apparel, 
     transportation, entertainment, and personal care, minus a 5 
     percent allowance for sales taxes. The result is multiplied 
     by 75 percent to reach the median total individual 
     expenditures in these categories and again multiplied by 67 
     percent to arrive at the lower living standard.

     families of seven or more. This adjustment is determined by 
     applying the appropriate equivalency percentage to derive the

     income protection allowance for a family size of six as the 
     standard adjustment.
       ``(7) There is an additional adjustment necessary for 
     families with more than five students enrolled in 
     postsecondary education. This adjustment is determined by 
     multiplying the student-in-college adjustment (determined in 
     accordance with paragraph (4)) as appropriate by the Consumer 
     Price Index.

     protection allowance for a family size of 1;

     the nearest $50 to derive the prevailing level amount.
       ``(9) The monthly maintenance allowance for purposes of 
     section 476(b)(1)(B)(iv)(II) is calculated by--

     in accordance with paragraph (4)) to the income protection 
     allowance (determined in accordance with paragraph (1));
       ``(B) multiplying the result by 80 percent to derive the 
     income protection allowance for a family size of 2;

       ``(D) dividing the result by 2 to determine a per person 
     amount; and

     upward to the nearest $50 to derive the prevailing level 
     amount.
       ``(c) Adjusted Net Worth of a Business.--For each award 
     year after award year 1992-1993, the Secretary shall publish 
     in the Federal Register a revised table of adjusted net worth 
     of a business for purposes of sections 475(d)(2)(C), 
     476(c)(2)(C), and 477(c)(2)(C). Such revised table shall be 
     developed--
       ``(1) by increasing each dollar amount that refers to net 
     worth of a business by a percentage equal to the estimated 
     percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (as 
     determined by the Secretary) between 1992 and the December 
     next preceding the beginning of such award year, and rounding 
     the result to the nearest $5,000; and
       ``(2) by adjusting the dollar amounts `$30,000', 
     `$105,000', and `$192,000' to reflect the changes made 
     pursuant to paragraph (1).
       ``(d) Asset Protection Allowance.--(1) For each award year 
     after award year 1992-1993, the Secretary shall publish in 
     the Federal Register a revised table of asset protection 
     allowances for the purpose of sections 475(d)(3), 476(c)(3), 
     and 477(c)(3). Such revised table shall be developed by using 
     the most 
     recent data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey Integrated 
     Survey Data according to paragraph (2) of this subsection.
       ``(2) Such revised table shall be developed by determining 
     the present value cost, rounded to the nearest $100 and based 
     on annually determined average life expectancy, of an annuity 
     that would provide, for each age cohort of 40 and above, a 
     supplemental income at age 65 (adjusted for inflation) equal 
     to the difference between the prevailing standard level of 
     the Consumer Expenditure Survey (adjusted as appropriate by 
     the Consumer Price Index), and the current average social 
     security retirement benefits. For each age cohort below 40, 
     the asset protection allowance shall be computed by 
     decreasing the asset protection allowance for age 40, as 
     updated, by one-fifteenth for each year of age below age 40 
     and rounding the result to the nearest $100. In making such 
     determinations--

     after award year 1992-1993, the Secretary shall publish in 
     the Federal Register a revised table of assessments from 
     adjusted available income for the purpose of sections 475(e)

     adjusted available income by a percentage equal to the 
     estimated percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (as 
     determined by the Secretary) between December 1992 and the 
     December next preceding the beginning of such academic year, 
     rounded to the nearest $100; and

     section, the term `Consumer Price Index' means the Consumer 
     Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the 
     Department of Labor. Each annual update of tables to reflect 
     changes in the Consumer Price Index shall be corrected for 
     misestimation of actual changes in such Index in previous

     allowances for the purpose of sections 475(c)(2), 475(q)(3), 
     476(b)(2), and 477(b)(2). The Secretary shall develop such 
     revised table after review of the Department of the 
     Treasury's Statistics of Income file and determination of the 
     percentage of income that each State's taxes represent.

     after award year 1992-1993, the Secretary shall publish in 
     the Federal Register a revised table of employment expense 
     allowances for the purpose of sections 475(c)(5), 476(b)(4),

     the most recent expense data from the Consumer Expenditure 
     Survey Integrated Survey Data and updating it as appropriate 
     by the Consumer Price Index. Such revised table shall be 
     developed--
       ``(1) by determining according to the Consumer Price 
     Expenditure Survey for each of the most recent three years, 
     the difference between average expenditures for two-earner 
     and one-earner families on meals away from home, clothing, 
     transportation, and personal household services;

     accordance with the schedule prescribed by the Secretary in 
     accordance with paragraphs (2) and (3), but not later than 5

     expiration of the eligibility for purposes of any such 
     program of all institutions of higher education within the 5-
     year period specified in paragraph (1).

     meet the following criteria: (A) institutions with high 
     default rates, (B) institutions where there is evidence of 
     fraud and abuse, (C) institutions lacking financial 
     responsibility, (D) institutions with a record of having 
     violated or failed to carry out any provisions of this title,

     institution under the schedule prescribed under this 
     subsection, or upon request for initial certification from an 
     institution not previously certified, the Secretary may 
     certify the eligibility for the purposes of any program 
     authorized under this title of each such institution for a 
     period not to exceed 4 years.
       ``(5) The personnel of the Department of Education shall 
     conduct a site visit at each institution before certifying or 
     recertifying its eligibility for purposes of any such 
     program. The Secretary may charge reasonable fees to cover 
     the expenses of certification and site visits and, to the 
     extent permitted by appropriations Acts, may retain such fees 
     to cover such expenses.
       ``(6) The Secretary shall not certify the eligibility of 
     any institution for such purposes unless the Secretary 
     determines that such institution complies with criteria 
     prescribed by the Secretary, pursuant to section 487(a)(3), 
     to ensure the proper and efficient administration of funds 
     received from the Secretary or from students under this 
     title.
       ``(f) Provisional Certification of Institutional 
     Eligibility.--(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, 
     the Secretary is authorized to provisionally certify an 
     institution's eligibility to participate in programs under

     judgment of the Secretary, in an administrative or financial 
     condition that may jeopardize its ability to perform its 
     responsibilities under its program participation agreement.
       ``(2) The Secretary may provisionally certify an 
     institution under this subsection for up to 3 complete award 
     years.
       ``(3) If, prior to the end of a period of provisional 
     certification under this subsection, the Secretary determines 
     that the institution is unable to meet its responsibilities 
     under its program participation agreement, the Secretary may 
     terminate the institution's participation in programs under 
     this title.
       ``(g) Branches.--For the purposes of this title, a branch 
     of an eligible institution, as defined pursuant to the 
     regulations of the Secretary, is a separate institution of 
     higher education and therefore must separately meet all the 
     requirements of this title.
       ``(h) Changes of Ownership.--For the purpose of this 
     section (other than subsection (b)(5)), an eligible 
     institution of higher education that has a change in 
     ownership resulting in a change in control shall not be 
     considered to be the same institution and shall be considered 
     a new institution for the purpose of establishing 
     eligibility. Such actions may include (but are not limited 
     to)--
       ``(1) the sale of the institution or the majority of its 
     assets;
       ``(2) the transfer of the controlling interest of stock of 
     the institution or its parent corporation;

     more institutions;

     the institutions to its parent corporation; or

     its parent corporation.

     organization or individual which enters into a contract with 
     any eligible institution of higher education to administer, 
     through either manual or automated processing, any aspect of 
     such institution's student assistance programs under this 
     title; or

     year shall not become effective until the beginning of the

     processing, or delivery of financial aid through the use of 
     such form. If an institution requires or encourages a student 
     to provide additional data through an approved contractor, 
     the charge to the student must be reasonable and based upon 
     the marginal cost of collecting, processing, and delivering 
     such data, adjusted for any payment received by the 
     contractor to produce, distribute, and process the common 
     financial reporting form prescribed by the Secretary. The 
     need and eligibility of a student for financial assistance 
     under parts A, C, and E of this title (other than under 
     subpart 4 of part A) and the need of a student for the 
     purpose of parts B and D of this title, may only be 
     determined by using the form developed by the Secretary 
     pursuant to this section. No student may receive assistance 
     under parts A, C, and E of this title (other than under 
     subpart 4 of part A) or have his or her need established for 
     the purpose of parts B and D of this title, except by use of

     Institutions and States may receive without charge the data 
     collected by the Secretary using the form developed pursuant 
     to this section for the purposes of determining need and 
     eligibility for institutional and State financial aid awards. 
     This application will satisfy the requirements of section 
     411(d) of this title.'';

       (3) by redesignating paragraph (5) as paragraph (6);

     arrangements with guarantors, lenders, secondary markets, or 
     institutions for the purpose of reselling or sharing of data 
     collected for the multiple data entry process. All data 
     collected for the multiple data entry process is the 
     exclusive property of the Secretary and may not be 
     transferred to a third party by an approved contractor 
     without the Secretary's expressed written approval.''; and
       (5) by adding at the end thereof the following:
       ``(7) Individuals determined to have a zero family 
     contribution pursuant to section 479 shall not be required to 
     provide any financial data, except that which is necessary to 
     determine eligibility under that section.''.
       (b) Additional Amendments.--Section 483 is further

     (c) and (d), respectively; and
       (3) by inserting after subsection (a) the following new 
     subsection:
       ``(b) Streamlined Reapplication Process.--(1) The Secretary 
     shall, within 240 days after the date of enactment of the 
     Higher Education Amendments of 1992, develop a streamlined 
     process for those recipients who reapply for financial aid 
     funds under this title in the next succeeding academic year 
     subsequent to the initial year in which they apply.

     institutions, agencies, and organizations involved in student 
     financial assistance, the data elements that can be updated 
     from the previous academic year's application.
       ``(4) Nothing in this title shall be interpreted as 
     limiting the authority of the Secretary to reduce the number 
     of data elements required of reapplicants.''; and
       (4) by amending subsection (e) to read as follows:
       ``(e) Toll-Free Information.--The Secretary shall contract 
     for, or establish, and publicize a toll-free telephone 
     number, including a telephone number accessible by 
     telecommunication devices for the deaf (TDD's), to provide 
     timely and accurate information to the general public and to

     Secretary of Education, in cooperation with the Commissioner 
     of the Social Security Administration, shall verify any 
     social security number provided by a student to an eligible 
     institution under subsection (a)(4) and shall enforce the 
     following conditions:
       ``(1) An institution shall not deny, reduce, delay, or 
     terminate a student's eligibility for assistance under this 
     part because social security number verification is pending.
       ``(2) If there is a determination by the Secretary that the 
     social security number provided to an eligible institution by 
     a student is incorrect, the institution shall deny or 
     terminate the student's eligibility for any grant, loan, or 
     work assistance under this title until such time as the 
     student provides a correct social security number.
       ``(3) If there is a determination by the Secretary that the 
     social security number provided to an eligible institution by 
     a student is incorrect, and a correct social security number 
     cannot be provided by such student, and a loan has been 
     guaranteed for such student under part B of this title, the 
     institution shall notify and instruct the lender and guaranty 
     agency making and guaranteeing the loan to cease further 
     payments under the loan, but such guaranty shall not be 
     voided or otherwise nullified with respect to such payments 
     made before the date that the lender and the guaranty agency 
     receives such notice.
       ``(4) Nothing in this subsection shall permit the Secretary 
     to take any compliance, disallowance, penalty, or other 
     regulatory action against any institution of higher education 
     with respect to any error in a social security number, unless 
     such error was a result of fraud on the part of the 
     institution or any action against any student with respect to 
     any error in a social security number, unless such error was 
     a result of fraud on the part of the student.
       ``(m) Data Base Matching.--To enforce the Selective Service 
     registration provisions of section 1113 of Public Law 97-252, 
     the Secretary shall conduct data base matches with the 
     Selective Service, using common demographic data elements. 
     Appropriate confirmation, through an application output 
     document or through other means, of any person's registration 
     shall fulfill the requirement to file a separate statement of 
     compliance. Further, in the absence of a confirmation from 
     such data matches, an institution may also use data or 
     documents that support either the student's registration or 
     the absence of a registration requirement for the student, to 
     fulfill the requirement to file a separate statement of 
     compliance. The mechanism for reporting the resolution of 
     nonconfirmed matches shall be prescribed in regulations by 
     the Secretary.
       ``(n) Study Abroad.--Nothing in this Act shall be construed 
     to limit or otherwise prohibit access to approved study 
     abroad programs. Students who are otherwise eligible who are 
     engaged in a program of study abroad approved for academic 
     credit by the student's home institution are eligible for 
     assistance under this title. It is not necessary for such a 
     study abroad program to be required as part of the student's 
     degree program to qualify for such assistance.

     (1) Students enrolled in courses of instruction at eligible 
     institutions of higher education that are offered in whole or 
     in part through telecommunications devices or mediums shall 
     not be considered to be enrolled in correspondence courses.

     participate in programs under this title restricted or 
     reduced if such restriction or reduction is based solely on 
     their enrollment in courses described in paragraph (1) of 
     this subsection.
       ``(3) For the purposes of this subsection, the term 
     `telecommunications devices or mediums' means the use of 
     television, audio, or computer transmission, including (but 
     not limited to) open broadcast, closed circuit, cable, 
     microwave, or satellite, audio conferencing, or computer 
     conferencing.

     period of enrollment for which the student has been charged 
     that remains', shall be determined--

     last recorded day of attendance by the student;

     hours, by dividing the total number of clock hours comprising

     ``SEC. 551. FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds as follows:
       ``(1) All students must master challenging subject matter 
     and learn to be critical thinkers and self-directed learners, 
     so that they will be prepared for responsible citizenship, 
     further learning, and productive employment in our modern 
     economy.
       ``(2) Teachers must have a thorough understanding of the 
     content they teach and knowledge and skill in how to teach it 
     to all students.
       ``(3) Teachers learn to teach most effectively in clinical, 
     school-based settings with prospective and novice teachers 
     working under the guidance of master teachers.
       ``(4) Highly skilled and effective teachers and specialists 
     at all levels of the education system are needed, especially 
     in programs serving very young (early childhood and preschool 
     aged) children.
       ``(5) Research and development for improving teaching 
     practices and student learning can and should be done by and 
     with teachers for use in their particular schools.
       ``(6) School-based research and development is an effective 
     way to generate knowledge that is needed for improving 
     teaching and learning.

[[Page 496]]

       ``(7) To be effective, training provided prospective 
     teachers by institutions of higher education must be 
     responsive to the needs of schools and teachers.
       ``(8) The business community has an important role to play 
     in encouraging school-based research and development to 
     improve teaching and learning.
       ``(9) American education needs a comprehensive reform 
     strategy based on 3 principles: creation of a supportive 
     political structure for sustained, school-level change; 
     school-wide interventions that engage the teachers, students, 
     and members of the wider school community in more powerful 
     learning; and promotion of research and development that is 
     close to the action of teaching and learning, but that draws 
     on the best intellectual resources that the Nation has to 
     offer.
       ``(10) Sustained collaborations between universities, 
     schools, businesses, communities, and Government will provide 
     the means to improve teaching and learning and to support 
     change over the long run.

     ``SEC. 552. PURPOSE.

     Teacher Certification and Licensure Act of 1991'.

     ``SEC. 587. FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) effective elementary and secondary schools require 
     competent teachers and strong leadership;
       ``(2) school systems would benefit greatly by increasing 
     the pool of qualified individuals from which to recruit 
     teachers;
       ``(3) many talented professionals who have demonstrated a 
     high level of subject area competence outside the education 
     profession may wish to pursue careers in education, but have 
     not fulfilled the requirements to be certified or licensed as 
     teachers;
       ``(4) alternative routes can enable qualified individuals 
     to fulfill State certification or licensure requirements and 
     would allow school systems to utilize the expertise of such 
     professionals and improve the pool of qualified individuals 
     available to local educational agencies as teachers; and
       ``(5) alternative routes to certification or licensure 
     requirements that do not exclude qualified individuals from 
     teaching solely because such individuals do not meet 
     traditional certification or licensure requirements would 
     allow school systems to take advantage of these professionals 
     and improve the supply of well-qualified teachers.

     ``SEC. 588. PURPOSE.

       ``It is the purpose of this subpart to improve the supply 
     of well-qualified elementary and secondary school teachers by 
     encouraging and assisting States to develop and implement 
     programs for alternative routes to teacher certification or 
     licensure requirements. Such programs shall place special 
     emphasis on the participation of individuals who are members

     carry out this part, the Secretary shall allot to each State 
     the lesser of either the amount the State applies for under

     share of the total population of children ages five through 
     seventeen in all the States (based on the most recent data 
     available that is satisfactory to the Secretary).

     full amount of its allotment, under the preceding paragraph,

     shall compute the discount which may be offered to a borrower 
     as an inducement to early repayment under subsection (c)(7)

     financial interests of the Government, taking into account 
     the yield on outstanding marketable obligations of the United 
     States having maturities comparable to the remaining term of 
     such loan.
       ``(e) Nondiscrimination Between Borrowers in Offering 
     Discounted Prepayment.--(1) If the Secretary offers a 
     discount as an inducement to early repayment under subsection 
     (c)(7), such offer shall be available without regard to 
     whether the borrower is delinquent or in default on the loan 
     on or before October 1, 1991, but the Secretary shall refuse 
     to make such offer to a borrower that becomes delinquent or 
     goes into default after that date.

     borrower that complies with paragraph (1), to the entire 
     amount outstanding on the loan (including any amount owed 
     with respect to payments that are overdue).
       ``(f) Contracts for Supplies or Services.--Section 3709 of 
     the Revised Statutes shall not apply to any contract for

     may be necessary to ensure that all laborers and mechanics 
     employed by contractors or subcontractors on any project 
     assisted under this part--

     prevailing on the same type of work on similar construction 
     in the immediate locality as determined by the Secretary of 
     Labor in accordance with the Act of March 3, 1931 (Davis-
     Bacon Act), as amended; and

     construction of such project, voluntarily donate their 
     services without full compensation for the purpose of 
     lowering the costs of construction and the Secretary 
     determines that any amounts saved thereby are fully credited 
     to the educational institution undertaking the construction.

 ``PART F--HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY CAPITAL FINANCING

     ``SEC. 761. FINDINGS.

       ``(1) a significant part of the Federal mission in 
     education has been to attain equal opportunity in higher 
     education for low-income, educationally disadvantaged 
     Americans and African Americans;
       ``(2) the Nation's historically Black colleges and 
     universities have played a prominent role in American history 
     and have an unparalleled record of fostering the development 
     of African American youth by recognizing their potential, 
     enhancing their academic and technical skills, and honing 
     their social and political skills through higher education;
       ``(3) the academic and residential facilities on the 
     campuses of all historically Black colleges and universities 
     have suffered from neglect, deferred maintenance and are in 
     need of capital improvements in order to provide appropriate 
     settings for learning and social development through higher 
     education;
       ``(4) due to their small enrollments, limited endowments 
     and other financial factors normally considered by lenders in 
     construction financing, historically Black colleges and 
     universities often lack access to the sources of funding 
     necessary to undertake the necessary capital improvements 
     through borrowing and bond financing;
       ``(5) despite their track record of long-standing and 
     remarkable institutional longevity and viability, 
     historically Black colleges and universities often lack the 
     financial resources necessary to gain access to traditional 
     sources of capital financing such as bank loans and bond 
     financing; and
       ``(6) Federal assistance to facilitate low-cost capital 
     basis for historically Black colleges and universities will 
     enable such colleges and universities to continue and expand 
     their educational mission and enhance their significant role 
     in American higher education.

       ``(a) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this subpart to 
     provide, through institutions of higher education, a program 
     of grants to assist in making available the benefits of 
     doctoral education to individuals from minority groups who 
     are underrepresented in doctoral education and to women who 
     are underrepresented in fields of doctoral education.
       ``(b) Designation.--Each recipient of such an award under 
     this subpart shall be known as a `Patricia Roberts Harris 
     Graduate Fellow'.

     ``SEC. 927. PROGRAM AUTHORIZED.

       ``(a) Grant by Secretary.--The Secretary shall make grants 
     to institutions of higher education to enable such 
     institutions to make grants in accordance with the provisions 
     of this subpart.
       ``(b) Distribution and Amounts of Grants.--(1) In making 
     such grants the Secretary shall, consistent with the 
     allocation of grants based on merit, seek a broad geographic 
     distribution of awards and an equitable distribution among 
     eligible public and independent institutions of higher 
     education.
       ``(2) Whenever the Secretary determines that an institution 
     of higher education is unable to use all of the amounts 
     available to it under this subpart, the Secretary shall, on 
     such dates during each fiscal year as the Secretary may fix, 
     reallot such amounts not needed to institutions which can use 
     the grants authorized by this subpart.
       ``(c) Applications.--Any eligible institution of higher 
     education offering a program of doctoral education may apply 
     for grants under this subpart. Each such institution may make 
     an application to the Secretary at such time, in such manner, 
     and containing or accompanied by such information as the 
     Secretary may reasonably require. Such application may be 
     made on behalf of academic departments or similar 
     organizational units within such institution meeting the 
     requirements of this subsection, including interdisciplinary 
     or interdepartmental programs.
       ``(d) Selection of Applications.--In making grants to 
     institutions of higher education, the Secretary shall--
       ``(1) take into account present and projected needs for 
     highly trained individuals in academic fields of high 
     national priority;
       ``(2) consider the need to prepare a larger number of women 
     and individuals from minority groups, especially from among 
     such groups which have been traditionally underrepresented in 
     colleges and universities and in specific fields, but nothing 
     contained in this paragraph shall be interpreted to require 
     any institution to grant preference or disparate treatment to 
     the members of one minority group on account of an imbalance 
     which may exist with respect to the total number or 
     percentage of individuals of such group participating in or 
     receiving the benefits of the program authorized in this 
     section, in comparison with the total number of percentage of 
     individuals of such group in any community, State, section, 
     or other area.
       ``(e) Priorities for Fellowships.--The Secretary shall 
     assure that, in making grants under this subpart, awards are 
     made to women and individuals from traditionally 
     underrepresented groups undertaking doc- 
     toral study, including those interested in entering the 
     fields of science and mathematics.
       ``(f) Institutional Payments.--The Secretary shall (in 
     addition to stipends paid to individuals under this subpart) 
     pay to the institution of higher education, for each 
     individual awarded a fellowship at such institution, $10,000

     exceed one 12-month period, in addition to the two-year 
     period for study or research set forth in this section, under 
     special circumstances which the Secretary determines would 
     most effectively serve the purposes of this part. The

     least 30 days notice prior to the release of such summary.
       ``(b) Separate and Independent Defined.--For the purpose of 
     subsection (a)(3), the term `separate and independent' means 
     that--
       ``(1) the members of the postsecondary education governing 
     body of the accrediting agency or association are not elected 
     or selected by the board or chief executive officer of any

     other entity or organization.
       ``(c) Operating Procedures Required.--No accrediting agency 
     or association may be approved by the Secretary for the 
     purpose of this title, unless the agency or association--
       ``(1) performs, at regularly established intervals, on-site 
     inspections and reviews of institutions of higher education 
     (at least one such visit at each institution whose primary 
     purpose is to provide vocational education and training 
     should be unannounced), with particular focus on educational 
     quality and program effectiveness, and assures that 
     accreditation team members are well-trained and knowledgeable 
     with respect to their responsibilities;
       ``(2) requires institutions of higher education subject to

     association may be approved by the Secretary for the purpose 
     of this Act for a period of more than 5 years.
       ``(e) Initial Arbitration Rule.--The Secretary may not 
     recognize the accreditation of any institution of higher 
     education unless the institution of higher education agrees 
     to submit any dispute involving the final denial, withdrawal, 
     or termination of accreditation to initial arbitration prior 
     to any other legal action.
       ``(f) Limitation on Scope of Standards.--Nothing in this 
     Act shall be construed to permit the Secretary to establish 
     standards for accrediting agencies or associations which are 
     not provided for in this section. Nothing in this Act shall 
     be construed to prohibit or limit any accrediting agency or 
     association from adopting additional standards not provided 
     for in this section: Provided, That such additional standards 
     are not applied in a manner that is inconsistent with the 
     institution's mission or contrary to the religious beliefs 
     espoused by the institution.
       ``(g) Accreditation Rule.--The Secretary shall not 
     recognize the accreditation of any eligible institution of 
     higher education if the institution of higher education is in 
     the process of changing its accrediting agency or

     Secretary all materials relating to the prior accreditation, 
     including materials demonstrating reasonable cause for 
     changing the accrediting agency or association.

[[Page 518]]

       ``(h) Dual Accreditation Rule.--The Secretary shall not 
     recognize the accreditation of any eligible institution of 
     higher education if the institution of higher education is 
     accredited by more than one accrediting agency or 
     association, unless the institution submits to each such 
     agency and association and to the Secretary the reasons for 
     accreditation by more than one such agency or association and 
     demonstrates to the Secretary reasonable cause for its 
     accreditation by more than one agency or association. If the 
     institution is accredited by more than one accrediting agency 
     or association, the institution shall designate which 
     agency's accreditation shall be utilized in determining the 
     institution's eligibility for programs under this Act.
       ``(i) Impact of Loss of Accreditation.--An institution may 
     not be certified or recertified as an institution of higher 
     education under section 481 or participate in any of the 
     other programs authorized by this Act if such institution--
       ``(1) is not currently accredited by any agency or 
     association recognized by the Secretary;
       ``(2) has had its accreditation withdrawn, revoked, or 
     otherwise terminated for cause during the preceding 24 months 
     unless such withdrawal, revocation, or termination has been 
     rescinded by the same accrediting agency; or
       ``(3) has withdrawn from accreditation voluntarily under a 
     show cause or suspension order during the preceding 24 months 
     unless such order has been rescinded by the same accrediting 
     agency.
       ``(j) Suspension of Approval.--The Secretary shall suspend 
     the approval of an accrediting agency or association if the 
     Secretary determines, after notice and opportunity for a 
     hearing, that the accrediting agency or association has 
     failed to effectively apply the standards or operate 
     according to the procedures provided in this section.
       ``(k) Limitation on the Secretary's Authority.--The 
     Secretary may only recognize accrediting agencies or 
     associations which accredit institutions of higher education 
     for the purpose of enabling such institution to establish 
     eligibility to participate in the programs under this Act or 
     which accredit institutions of higher education or higher 
     education programs for the purpose of enabling them to 
     establish eligibility to participate in other programs 
     administered by the Department of Education or other Federal 
     agencies.
       ``(l) Independent Evaluation.--(1) The Secretary shall 
     conduct a comprehensive review and evaluation of the 
     performance of all accrediting agencies or associations which 
     seek recognition by the Secretary in order to determine 
     whether such accrediting agencies or associations meet the 
     standards established by this section. The Secretary shall 
     conduct an independent evaluation of the information provided 
     by such agency or association. Such evaluation shall include:
       ``(A) the solicitation of third-party information 
     concerning the performance of the accrediting agency or 
     association; and
       ``(B) site visits at both the accrediting agency or 
     association and member institutions, including unannounced 
     visits where appropriate.
       ``(2) The Secretary shall place a priority for review of 
     accrediting agencies or associations on those which accredit 
     institutions of higher education which participate most 
     extensively in the programs authorized by title IV of this 
     Act and on those agencies or associations which have been the 
     subject of the most complaints or legal actions.
       ``(3) The Secretary shall consider all available 
     information concerning the compliance of the accrediting 
     agency or association with the standards provided for in this 
     section, including any complaints or legal actions against 
     such agency or association. In cases where deficiencies in 
     the performance of an accreditation agency or association 
     with respect to the requirements of this section are noted, 
     the Secretary shall take these deficiencies into account in 
     the approval process. The Secretary shall not, under any 
     circumstances, base decisions on the approval or disapproval 
     of accreditation agencies or associations on standards other 
     than those contained in this section.
       ``(4) The Secretary shall maintain sufficient documentation 
     to support the conclusions reached in the approval process, 
     and upon disapproval of any accreditation agency or 
     association, shall make publicly available the reason for 
     such disapproval, including reference to the specific 
     standards under this section which have not been fulfilled.
       ``(m) Regulations.--The Secretary shall by regulation 
     provide for procedures for the recognition of accrediting 
     agencies or associations and for the appeal of the 
     Secretary's decisions.
       ``(n) Definition.--For the purpose of this section, the 
     term `accrediting agency or association' includes any 
     organization recognized by the Secretary for the purposes of 
     this section including, but not limited to, boards, 
     commissions and committees.''.

     whenever any institution receives a restricted or conditional 
     gift or contract from a foreign source, the institution shall 
     disclose:
       ``(1) For such gifts received from or contracts entered 
     into with a foreign source other than a foreign government, 
     the amount, the date, and a description of such conditions or

     such assurances as the Secretary may require to establish 
     that the institution has met the requirements for public 
     disclosure under State law if the State report is filed.
       ``(2) Use of other federal reports.--If an institution 
     receives a gift from, or enters into a contract with, a 
     foreign source, where any other department, agency, or bureau 
     of the Executive Branch requires a report containing 
     requirements substantially similar to those required under 
     this Act, a copy of this report may be filed with the 
     Secretary in lieu of a report required under subsection (a).
       ``(e) Public Inspection.--All disclosure reports required 
     by this Act shall be public records open to inspection and 
     copying during business hours.

       ``(1) Court orders.--Whenever it appears that an 
     institution has failed to comply with the requirements of

     to the jurisdiction of the United States, to request such 
     court to compel compliance with the requirements of the Act.

     the requirements of this section, including any rule or 
     regulation promulgated thereunder, an institution shall pay

     United States of obtaining compliance, including all 
     associated costs of investigation and enforcement.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that racial 
     discrimination is indefensible, improper, and immoral.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) institutions of higher education should review their 
     admissions policies and, if necessary, revise them to ensure 
     that applicants are not illegally excluded from admission;
       (2) the Attorney General should investigate allegations of 
     illegal racial discrimination in the admissions policies of 
     institutions of higher education and pursue legal action 
     against those schools which have violated title IV or VI 
     (relating to desegregation of public education and 
     nondiscrimination in federally assisted programs 
     respectively), or both, of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 
     U.S.C. 2000c--2000c-8 and 42 U.S.C. 2000d--2000d-6 
     respectively); and
       (3) the Secretary of Education should conclude, as soon as 
     possible, the compliance reviews on admissions policies of 
     certain institutions of higher education being conducted by 
     the Department of Education and should, in addition, initiate 
     additional reviews of the admissions policies of schools 
     alleged to have illegally discriminated on the basis of race.

        PART B--HIGHER EDUCATION TRIBAL GRANT AUTHORIZATION ACT

     SEC. 1311. SHORT TITLE.

       This part may be cited as the ``Higher Education Tribal 
     Grant Authorization Act''.

     SEC. 1312. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) there are increasing numbers of Indian students 
     qualifying for postsecondary education, and there are 
     increasing numbers desiring to go to postsecondary 
     institutions;
       (2) the needs of these students far outpace the resources 
     available currently;
       (3) Indian tribes have shown an increasing interest in 
     administering programs serving these individuals and making 
     decisions on these programs reflecting their determinations 
     of the tribal and human needs;
       (4) the contracting process under the Indian Self-
     Determination and Education Assistance Act has provided a 
     mechanism for the majority of the tribes to assume control 
     over this program from the Bureau of Indian Affairs;
       (5) however, inherent limitations in the contracting 
     philosophy and mechanism, coupled with cumbersome 
     administrative procedures developed by the Bureau of Indian 
     Affairs have effectively limited the efficiency and 
     effectiveness of these programs;
       (6) the provision of these services in the most effective 
     and efficient form possible is necessary for tribes, the 
     country, and the individuals to be served; and
       (7) these services are part of the Federal Government's 
     continuing trust responsibility to provide education services 
     to American Indian and Alaska Natives.

     SEC. 1313. PROGRAM AUTHORITY.

       (a) In General.--The Secretary shall, from the amounts 
     appropriated for the purpose of supporting higher education 
     grants for Indian students under the authority of the Act of 
     November 2, 1921, popularly known as the Snyder Act (25 
     U.S.C. 13), make grants to Indian tribes in accordance with 
     the requirements of this part to permit those tribes to 
     provide financial assistance to individual Indian students 
     for the cost of attendance at institutions of higher 
     education.
       (b) Limitation on Secretary's Authority.--The Secretary 
     shall not place any restrictions on the use of funds provided 
     to an Indian tribe under this part that is not expressly 
     authorized by this part.
       (c) Effect on Federal Responsibilities.--The provisions of 
     this part shall not affect any trust responsibilities of the 
     Federal Government.
       (d) No Termination for Administrative Convenience.--Grants 
     provided under this part may not be terminated, modified, 
     suspended, or reduced only for the convenience of the 
     Administering agency.

     SEC. 1314. QUALIFICATION FOR GRANTS TO TRIBES.

       (a) Contracting Tribes.--Any Indian tribe that obtains

     extent that such expense is not met from other sources or 
     cannot be defrayed through the action of any State, Federal, 
     or municipal Act, except that nothing in this subsection 
     shall be interpreted as requiring any priority in 
     consideration of resources; and
       (2) costs of administering the program under this part, 
     except that no more may be spent on administration of such

     made by January 1 of the fiscal year.

       (1) Treatment as tribal property.--Notwithstanding any 
     other provision of law, any interest or investment income

  PART E--TRIBAL DEVELOPMENT STUDENT ASSISTANCE REVOLVING LOAN PROGRAM

     SEC. 1341. SHORT TITLE.

       This part may be cited as the ``Tribal Development Student 
     Assistance Act''.

     SEC. 1342. FINDINGS; PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) a substantial number of Indian students have partially 
     completed their degrees in postsecondary education, but have 
     been unable, for a number of reasons, to complete the 
     degrees;
       (2) in at least some measure these students have been 
     supported by tribal funds or grants of Federal monies 
     administered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs or tribes;
       (3) the inability of the students to complete these degrees 
     has led to a hardship for the students and a loss of a 
     potential pool of talent to the tribes or tribal 
     organizations which originally financed, at least in part, 
     these efforts;
       (4) this loss has crippled tribal efforts in the areas of 
     economic and social development;
       (5) this failure to complete the postsecondary schooling 
     has led to economic loss to the tribes and the Federal 
     Government which could be remedied by completion of the 
     courses of study; and
       (6) a program to identify students with a level of 
     postsecondary completion short of the fulfillment of 
     graduation requirements and to encourage them to complete 
     these requirements, including provision of resources, will 
     benefit the students, the tribes, and the Federal Government.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this part are--
       (1) to establish a revolving loan program to be 
     administered by a tribe or tribal organization for the 
     purposes of increasing the number of college graduates 
     available to work in tribal businesses, tribal government, 
     and tribal services such as schools and hospitals;
       (2) to conduct research to assess the situational and 
     educational barriers to participation in postsecondary 
     education; and
       (3) to encourage development, through grants, of a model 
     which provides, in addition to loans, transitional and 
     follow-up services needed to encourage persistence in 
     postsecondary education.

     SEC. 1343. REVOLVING FUND.

     be used for the purposes of this part.

     securities that are guaranteed or insured by the United 
     States, or
       (2) deposited only in accounts that are insured by an 
     agency or instrumentality of the United States.
       (c) Treatment of Income.--Notwithstanding any other 
     provision of law, any interest or investment income that 
     accrues on any funds covered under this provision after such 
     funds have been distributed to a tribe or tribal organization 
     and before such funds are distributed for the purposes of 
     making loans under this part shall be the property of the 
     tribe or tribal organization and shall not be taken into 
     account by any officer or employee of the Federal Government 
     in determining whether to provide assistance, or the amount

     institutions of higher education.
       (b) Survey Required.--Such study shall include a survey of 
     a representative sample of institutions of higher education 
     in order to assess how widespread such hazards are. A 
     sufficient number of institutions shall be sampled and tested 
     in order to provide reasonable estimates on--
       (1) the number of institutions which contain friable 
     asbestos (as defined in the Asbestos Hazard Emergency 
     Response Act) and how many students and employees may be 
     exposed to unsafe levels of asbestos fibers,
       (2) the number of institutions that have rooms which 
     contain more than 4 picocuries/liter of radon, and
       (3) the number of institutions which contain water 
     fountains or faucets or water coolers which discharge water 
     with more than 10 parts per billion of lead.
       (c) Consultation.--In designing and carrying out such 
     study, the Secretary shall consult with associations 
     representing institutions of higher education, faculty, and 
     other employees.

     SEC. 1408. STUDY OF CIVILIAN EDUCATION TRAINING PROGRAMS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the role of the military as a source of supply of 
     trained pilots and mechanics and other personnel for 
     commercial aviation is severely reduced;
       (2) approximately 50 percent of the 52,000 commercial 
     pilots currently flying will retire by the year 2000 and an 
     additional 8,000 to 10,000 pilots will be needed by then;
       (3) there is significant underrepresentation of minorities 
     and women currently working in the aviation industry and 
     African Americans constitute less than 1 percent of pilots 
     with the Nation's scheduled air carriers;
       (4) there is a substantial projected increase of minorities 
     and women as a proportion of the workforce by the year 2000; 
     and
       (5) there is need for a comprehensive study of future human 
     resources needs for the air transportation industry, 
     including a thorough investigation of recruitment, aviation 
     training outside the military context, financial and other 
     incentives and disincentives which affect the flow of people, 
     and especially minorities and women, into the industry.
       (b) Study Required.--The Secretary of Education shall enter 
     into appropriate arrangements with the National Academy of 
     Sciences Commission on Behavioral and Social Sciences and 
     Education to study civilian education training programs 
     needed to satisfy the workforce requirements of the 
     commercial aviation industry in the year 2000 and beyond. The 
     specific concerns to be addressed by the study shall 
     include--
       (1) the avenues for civilians to enter the aviation 
     industry,
       (2) the characteristics of current training and the match 
     with skill requirements in the workplace, and
       (3) the impediments and incentives for minorities and women 
     to enter the aviation industry (such as a lack of role 
     models, cost of schooling and flight time, the 
     underutilization of historically black colleges and 
     universities in the educational training process, and 
     institutional barriers).
       (c) Interim Report.--The Secretary of Education shall 
     request that the National Academy of Sciences Commission on 
     Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education submit an 
     interim report of its deliberations, conclusions, and 
     recommendations to the Secretary and the Congress within 1 
     year after the date of enactment of this Act, and the study 
     shall be completed within 2 years of the date of enactment of 
     this Act.

  Mr. DERRICK, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 410):

       Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this 
     resolution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule 
     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the State of the Union for further 
     consideration of the bill (H.R. 3732) to amend the 
     Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to eliminate the division of 
     discretionary appropriations into three categories for 
     purposes of a discretionary spending limit for fiscal year 
     1993, and for other purposes. All time for general debate 
     under the terms of House Resolution 394 shall be considered 
     as expired. After further general debate, which shall be 
     confined to the bill and which shall not exceed one hour 
     equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
     minority member of the Committee on Government Operations, 
     the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-
     minute rule. It shall be in order to consider as an original 
     bill for the purpose of amendment under the five-minute rule 
     the amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by 
     the Committee on Government Operations and the Committee on 
     Rules now printed in the bill. Said substitute shall be 
     considered as read. No amendment to said substitute shall be 
     in order. At the conclusion of consideration of the bill for 
     amendment the Committee shall rise and report the bill to the 
     House with such amendment as may have been adopted. The 
     previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill 
     and amendments thereto to final passage without intervening 
     motion except one motion to recommit with or without 
     instructions.

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  Mr. DERRICK moved the previous question on the resolution to its 
adoption or rejection.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House now order the previous question?

Para. 37.20  message from the president--national emergency with respect 
          to export control regulations

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. PAYNE of New Jersey, laid before the 
House a message from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  1. On September 30, 1990, in Executive Order No. 12730, I declared a 
national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act 
(``IEEPA'') (50 U.S.C. 1701, et seq.) to deal with the threat to the 
national security and foreign policy of the United States caused by the 
lapse of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (50 U.S.C. 
App. 2401, et seq.), and the system of controls maintained under that 
Act. In that order I continued in effect, to the extent permitted by 
law, the provisions of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as 
amended, the Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. 768, et seq. 
(1991)), and the delegations of authority set forth in Executive Order 
No. 12002 of July 7, 1977, Executive Order No. 12214 of May 2, 1980, and 
Executive Order No. 12131 of May 4, 1979, as amended by Executive Order 
No. 12551 of February 21, 1986.
  2. I issued Executive Order No. 12730 pursuant to the authority vested 
in me as President by the Constitution and laws of the United States, 
including IEEPA, the National Emergencies Act (``NEA'') (50 U.S.C. 1601, 
et seq.), and section 301 of title 3 of the United States Code. At that 
time, I also submitted a report to the Congress pursuant to section 
204(b) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1703(b)). Section 204 of IEEPA requires 
follow-up reports, with respect to actions or changes, to be submitted 
every 6 months. Additionally, section 401(c) of the NEA requires that 
the President, within 90 days after the end of each 6-month period 
following a declaration of a national emergency, report to the Congress 
on the total expenditures directly attributable to that declaration. 
This report, covering the 6-month period from October 1, 1991, to March 
31, 1992, is submitted in compliance with these requirements.
  3. Since the issuance of Executive Order No. 12730, the Department of 
Commerce has continued to administer the system of export controls, 
including antiboycott provisions, contained in the Export Administration 
Regulations. In Administering these controls, the Department has acted 
under a policy of conforming actions under Executive Order No. 12730 to 
those required under the Export Administration Act, insofar as 
appropriate.
  4. Since my last report to the Congress, there have been several 
significant developments in the area of export controls:
  --In light of the ongoing changes occurring in Eastern Europe and the 
    former Soviet Union, the Department of Commerce has been working 
    with officials of Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, and 
    republics of the former Soviet Union to implement and strengthen 
    their export control systems, including pre-license inspections and 
    post-shipment verifications. We are also engaged in activities with 
    these countries to assist in the prevention of proliferation of 
    weapons of mass destruction and corresponding technology. These 
    developments will allow for enhanced and much-needed trade in high 
    technology items and other commodities in the region, while helping 
    to prevent unauthorized shipments or uses of such items.
  --In my last report I noted that, following negotiations with our 
    Coordinating Committee (COCOM) partners that produced a streamlined 
    Core List of truly strategic items subject to multilateral national 
    security controls, the Department of Commerce implemented a new 
    Commerce Control List (CCL), effective September 1, 1991 (56 F.R. 
    42824, August 29, 1991). During the current reporting period, the 
    Department issued a conforming regulation, effective January 7, 
    1992, to bring the CCL into line with special country- and 
    commodity-based controls. In this action, foreign policy provisions 
    in the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) were revised to 
    adjust and expand controls on Iran and Syria. Controls affecting 
    countries designated by the Secretary of State as supporting 
    international terrorism were also revised, with Iraq added and Yemen 
    deleted from the list. Additionally, the transfer from the 
    Department of State to the Department of Commerce of licensing 
    jurisdiction over certain civil aircraft inertial navigation 
    equipment was implemented (57 F.R. 4553, February 6, 1992).
  --Our efforts to address the threat to the national security and 
    foreign policy interests of the United States posed by the spread of 
    weapons of mass destruction and missile delivery systems remain 
    ongoing. In this vein, we continue to work with our major trading 
    partners to strengthen export controls over goods, technology, and 
    other forms of assistance that can contribute to the spread of 
    nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and missile systems:
  --The United States has been working with its partners in the 22-
      nation Australia Group (AG) to harmonize export controls related 
      to the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons (CBW). At 
      the December 1991 meeting, the participants agreed to control the 
      export of certain biological organisms and CBW-related equipment. 
      The list considered for possible adoption by the AG in this effort 
      is nearly identical to the draft submitted by the United States.
    --Additionally, the 27-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group, in which the 
      United States participates, is expected formally to establish a 
      multilateral regime to control nuclear-related, dual-use items 
      along the lines of the nuclear referral list currently 
      administered by the Department of Commerce.
    --In the area of supercomputers, we have agreed on a supercomputer 
      safeguard regime with Japan and will be negotiating with our 
      European trading partners to expand this regime. Supercomputer 
      exports involve sensitive national security and foreign policy 
      interests such as cryptology, strategic defense, and submarine 
      warfare; the multilateral safeguard regime is therefore intended 
      to establish uniform and effective international policies and 
      procedures to protect supercomputers from unauthorized end-uses 
      and end-users.
    --Developments in the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) 
      include revision of the MTCR control list or ``Annex,'' and the 
      inclusion of missiles capable of delivering all weapons of mass 
      destruction within the scope of the MTCR, not just those capable 
      of delivering nuclear weapons, which were originally designated as 
      the focus of the regime.
  --In response to commitments made by the People's Republic of China 
    (PRC) to adhere to the MTCR nonproliferation guidelines, on February 
    21, 1992, the Department of State announced my decision to remove 
    special missile sanctions imposed upon the PRC for the activities of 
    Chinese entities involved in

[[Page 539]]

    missile technology proliferation. As a result, certain sanctions, 
    including restrictions on the export of high-performance computers, 
    are being removed. Other controls affecting the PRC, such as those 
    implemented following Tiananmen Square, remain in place.
  --Finally, our enforcement efforts have continued unabated:
    --During this 6-month reporting period, record civil penalties, 
      totalling in excess of $3.5 million, were assessed in export 
      control enforcement cases. The companies against which the 
      penalties were imposed include the Digital Equipment Corporation; 
      Ecosphere International; Everex Systems, Inc., and its subsidiary 
      Everex Systems (Far East); and Kobe Argentina, the Argentine 
      subsidiary of a U.S. company that was involved in the first case 
      in which both export control and antiboycott violations were 
      alleged.
    --On December 19, 1991, special agents from the Department of 
      Commerce's Bureau of Export Administration arrested a French 
      businessman in New York on charges of diverting two shipments of 
      aviation oil valued at over $2 million to Cuba. A German company 
      and two of its executives were also indicted in connection with 
      the diversion scheme. In addition, an American company and two of 
      its executives were indicted and charged with falsifying shipping 
      documents, having knowledge of the diversion, and failing to 
      report the diversion to authorities.
    --On February 18, 1992, the Department of Commerce charged L.A. 
      Gear, Inc., an athletic footwear manufacturer, with 46 violations 
      of the antiboycott provisions of the Export Administration Act and 
      Regulations. The Department alleged that, in July 1987 and January 
      1990, the company complied with boycott requests from a Middle 
      Eastern customer, resulting in antiboycott violations including 
      knowingly agreeing to refuse to do business with other persons in 
      response to a boycott-based requirement, furnishing prohibited 
      boycott-related information, and failure to report receipt of 
      boycott-related requests.
  5. The expenses incurred by the Federal Government in the 6-month 
period from October 1, 1991, to March 31, 1992, that are directly 
attributable to the exercise of authorities conferred by the declaration 
of a national emergency with respect to export controls were largely 
centered in the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Export Administration. 
Expenditures by the Department of Commerce are anticipated to be 
$20,254,000, most of which represents wage and salary costs for Federal 
personnel.
  6. The unrestricted access of foreign parties to U.S. goods, 
technology, and technical data, and the existence of certain boycott 
practices of foreign nations, in light of the expiration of the Export 
Administration Act of 1979, continue to constitute an unusual and 
extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and 
economy of the United States. I shall continue to exercise the powers at 
my disposal to retain the export control system, including the 
antiboycott provisions, and will continue to report periodically to the 
Congress.
                                                          George Bush.  
  The White House, March 31, 1992.

  By unanimous consent, the message was referred to the Committee on 
Foreign Affairs and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 102-277).

Para. 37.21  message from the president--occupational safety and health

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. PAYNE of New Jersey, laid before the 
House a message from the President, which was read as follows:

Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-596; 29 U.S.C. 675), I transmit herewith the

Department of Health and Human Services, and the Occupational Safety and

                                                          George Bush.  
    The White House, March 31, 1992.

papers, was referred to the Committee on Education and Labor.

the Twenty-sixth Annual Report of the Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, which covers calendar year 1990.
                                                          George Bush.  
  The White House, March 31, 1992.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban 
Affairs.
  And then,

Para. 38.7  further message from the senate

  A further message from the Senate by Mr. Hallen, one of its clerks, 
announced that the Senate had passed with amendments in which the 
concurrence of the House is requested, a joint resolution of the House 
of the following title:

       H.J. Res. 456. Joint resolution making further continuing 
     appropriations for the fiscal year 1992, and for other 
     purposes.

Para. 38.8  message from the president--emigration criteria for hungary 
          and czechoslovakia

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, laid before the House a message 
from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  In June 1991 I determined and reported to the Congress that Hungary 
continues to meet the emigration criteria of the Jackson-Vanik amendment 
to, and section 409 of, the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2432 and 2439). 
In October 1991 I determined and reported to the Congress that 
Czechoslovakia also meets the emigration criteria contained in title IV 
of the Trade Act of 1974. These dete rminations allowed for the 
continuation of most favored nation (MFN) status for Hungary and 
Czechoslovakia without the requirement of an annual waiver.
  As required by law, I am submitting an updated formal report to the 
Congress concerning emigration laws and policies of the Republic of 
Hungary and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic. You will find that 
the report indicates continued Hungarian and Czechoslovak compliance 
with U.S. and international standards in the areas of emigration and 
human rights policy.
  The Administration is taking steps to exercise the authority provided 
me in section 2 of Public Law 102-182 to terminate the application of 
title IV of the Trade Act of 1974 to Czechoslovakia and Hungary.
                                                          George Bush.  
  The White House, March 31, 1992.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means and ordered to 
be printed (H. Doc. 102-278).

Para. 38.9  resolution trust corporation

  Mr. GONZALEZ, pursuant to House Resolution 412, called up the bill 
(H.R. 4704) to remove the limitation on the availability of funds 
previously appropriated to the Resolution Trust Corporation.
  When said bill was considered and read twice.
  After debate,
  Pursuant to House Resolution 412, the previous question was ordered on 
said bill.
  The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, was read a 
third time by title.
  Mr. McCOLLUM moved to recommit the bill to the Committee on Banking, 
Finance and Urban Affairs with instructions to report the bill back to 
the House forthwith with the following amendment:

       Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the 
     following:

     SECTION. 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Resolution Trust Corporation 
     Funding Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 2. REMOVAL OF LIMITATION OF PRIOR APPROPRIATION SUBJECT 
                   TO REDUCTION OF RTC LOSSES.

       Section 21A(i)(3) of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act (12 
     U.S.C. 1441a(i)(3)) is amended by striking ``until April 1, 
     1992'' and inserting ``except that such amount shall be 
     reduced by the amount which the Secretary determines is equal 
     to the net reduction in the expenditures of the Corporation 
     due to the supervisory goodwill buy-back program established 
     under subsection (x)''.

     SEC. 3. REDUCTION OF RTC LOSSES.

       The Federal Home Loan Bank Act (12 U.S.C. 1441a) is amended 
     by adding at the end the following new subsection:
       ``(x) Supervisory Goodwill Buy-Back Program.
       ``(1) Supervisory goodwill replaced with tangible 
     capital.--Within 90 days after the date of the enactment of 
     the Resolution Trust Corporation funding Act of 1992--
       ``(A) the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision 
     shall, in consultation with the Resolution Trust Corporation, 
     pay each qualified savings association the replacement amount 
     from amounts made available pursuant to paragraph (5); and
       ``(B) on receipt of such payment, the association shall 
     reduce its supervisory goodwill by the amount of such 
     payment.
       ``(2) Definitions.--As used in this section:
       ``(A) Qualified savings association.--The term `qualified 
     savings association' means a savings association--
       ``(i) for which a conservator or receiver would be 
     appointed before September 1, 1993 (as determined pursuant to 
     procedures which the Director shall establish) unless the 
     association participates in the program under this section; 
     and
       ``(ii) which is not an excluded savings association.
       ``(B) Excluded savings association.--The term `excluded 
     savings association' means a savings association for which, 
     in the determination of the Director, a conservator or 
     receiver is likely to be appointed whether or not the 
     association is included in the program under this subsection.
       ``(C) Replacement amount.--The term `replacement amount' 
     means, with respect to a qualified savings association, the 
     lesser of--
       ``(i) the determined amount; and
       ``(ii) the least amount that, if paid to the association, 
     would cause the association to be adequately capitalized (as 
     defined in section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act) 
     under all fully phased in capital standards.
       ``(D) Determined amount.--The term `determined amount' 
     means, with respect to a savings association, an amount 
     determined appropriate by the Office of Thrift Supervision, 
     taking into account the circumstances of the association, 
     which is--
       ``(i) not less than the amount of the supervisory goodwill 
     of the association, as of the date of the determination; and
       ``(ii) not more than the amount of the supervisory goodwill 
     of the association, as of

[[Page 543]]

     the date of the enactment of the Financial Institutions 
     Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989.
       ``(3) Capital requirements.--
       ``(A) Fully phased in capital standards.--If, after receipt 
     of funds pursuant to paragraph (1), a qualified savings 
     association meets all fully phased in capital standards, then 
     such standards shall apply to the association, 
     notwithstanding any other provision of law.
       ``(B) Additional requirements.--The Office of Thrift 
     Supervision may set additional capital requirements for 
     qualified savings associations to ensure that such 
     associations will progressively prepare to meet all 
     applicable capital requirements.
       ``(4) Other requirements.--The Office of Thrift Supervision 
     may establish any other requirements needed to ensure the 
     safe and sound operation of qualified savings associations.
       ``(5) Funding provided by rtc.--The Resolution Trust 
     Corporation shall provide such funds as may be necessary to 
     carry out this subsection to the Director of the Office of 
     Thrift Supervision from amounts made available to the 
     corporation under this section.''.

  Pending consideration of said motion,

Para. 38.10  point of order

  Mr. GONZALEZ made a point of order against the motion, and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, with respect to clause 7 of rule XVI of the Rules of 
the House, amendments of this nature must be germane. H.R. 4704 is an 
extremely narrow bill. As we said before, all it did was change the 
date, that is, lift the date cap on the limitation for the expenditures 
of previously appropriated funds.
  ``Mr. Speaker, the motion to recommit goes far beyond this and the 
extremely narrow scope of this bill. On top of that, this would provide 
funds for OTS, whereas our lifting of the caps would merely release the 
already appropriated funds to RTC. The cash for goodwill contained in 
this misdirected amendment directly benefits stockholders, raises the 
value of stock, and, therefore, has no effect on the insured depositors, 
which our bill is strictly limited to, and that is to resolve the 
rightful interest of the depositors in these insured institutions. So I 
must insist on my point of order.''.
  Mr. McCOLLUM was recognized to speak to the point of order, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, the proposed motion to recommit should be held in 
order in my judgment because we do deal with the money that is in this 
bill. We deal with the fact that it instructs in my motion to recommit 
that a certain portion of that money that would be otherwise allocable 
and freed by this bill, be utilized for the sole purpose of forcing the 
Resolution Trust Corporation and the Office of Thrift Supervision to 
buy back about $2.5 billion worth of supervisory goodwill from some 53 
or so savings and loans that qualify with good core earnings, they are 
in the black and so forth, but which fail to meet tangible capital 
standards and otherwise would be closed simply because they have this 
$2.5 billion of supervisory goodwill on the books.
  ``Mr. Speaker, this would be in lieu of the money being spent to 
close these institutions, which, if they were closed with the money in 
this bill as it now reads, would cost the taxpayers $25 billion.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I am seeking a monetary relief in this bill by the 
motion to instruct. I am attempting to direct the usage of the money in 
this bill for the least cost effective method of resolving the 
difficulties with these 53 or so savings and loans. That would save the 
taxpayers the $25 billion and do the same job for only $2.5 billion, 
and also save about 25,000 jobs.
  ``So I believe it is perfectly germane since it deals strictly with 
money and how it is spent under this bill when we remove the date on 
this bill and free up money, which is what the bill is all about.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I would urge that the Chair rule that this be allowed 
and that we be allowed to vote on saving the $25 billion of taxpayer 
money that we otherwise will lose if this is not made in order and this 
bill were to pass.''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, sustained the point of order, 
and said:
  ``The Chair is prepared to rule on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Florida [Mr. McCollum].

  ``The gentleman from Texas [Mr. Gonzalez] makes the point of order 
that the amendment proposed in the motion to recommit offered by the 
gentleman from Florida [Mr. McCollum] is not germane to the bill.
  ``The test of germaneness in the case of a motion to recommit with 
instructions is the relationship of the instructions to the bill. The 
pending bill narrowly amends existing law.
  ``Under the Federal Home Loan Bank Act, $25 billion is available 
until April 1, 1992, for the Resolution Trust Corporation to carry out 
its thrift resolution responsibilities. H.R. 4704 removes the temporal 
limitation on that funding to continue the availability of the $25 
billion after April 1, 1992. The bill does not alter the entity to 
which the funds are available or the purposes for which they are 
available.
  ``The amendment proposed in the motion offered by the gentleman from 
Florida [Mr. McCollum] also continues the availability of the $25 
billion to the RTC for its statutory responsibilities after April 1, 
1992. The amendment goes further, however, to devote a portion of the 
$25 billion in existing law to newly specified activities of the Office 
of Thrift Supervision, an entity that otherwise operates under the 
aegis of a different law, the Home Owners Loan Act.
  ``To a bill amending existing law only to continue the availability 
of funds to a previously specified entity for previously established 
purposes, an amendment extending the availability of those funds also 
to a newly specified entity for a newly established program is not 
germane.
  ``Accordingly, the Chair finds that the motion to recommit offered by 
the gentleman from Florida [Mr. McCollum] is not in order.''.

  Mr. JOHNSON of Texas moved to recommit the bill to the Committee on 
Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs.
  Pending consideration of said motion,

Para. 38.11  point of order

  Mr. GONZALEZ made a point of order against the motion, and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, I believe that under the rule granted by the Committee 
on Rules, House Resolution 412, the resolution from the Committee on 
Rules provides that the previous question `shall be considered as having 
been ordered on the bill to final passage without intervening motions 
except one motion to recommit;' that is one motion to recommit.
  ``I say that under that language, this is out of order, and I insist 
on regular order.''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, overruled the point of order, 
and said:

  ``The rule and the precedent provide that one proper motion to 
recommit is in order. The Chair rules that the pending motion to 
recommit is in order.''.

  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House recommit said bill?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, announced that the nays had it.
  Mr. JOHNSON of Texas objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum 
was not present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken by 
electronic device.

       (a) In General.--Section 5112(d) of title 31, United States 
     Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new 
     paragraph:
       ``(3) The design on the reverse side of the half-dollar and 
     the quarter-dollar shall be se- 
     lected for redesign. The 1-cent, 5-cent and dime coins shall 
     be considered for redesign. The first redesigned coin shall 
     have a design commemorating the two hundredth anniversary of 
     the ratification of the Bill of Rights to the United States 
     Constitution for a period of 2 years after issuance. After 
     the 2-year period, the bicentennial coin shall have its 
     design changed in accordance with the provisions of this 
     subsection. All such redesigned coins shall conform with the 
     inscription requirements set forth in paragraph (1) of this 
     subsection.''.
       (b) Minting and Issuance.--The minting of the first coin 
     selected for redesign under section 5112(d)(3) of title 31, 
     United Stated Code, shall begin not later than one year after 
     the date of enactment of this Act, and the issuance shall 
     begin as soon as practical thereafter.

     SEC. 502. SELECTION OF DESIGNS.

       The design changes required by the amendments made by 
     section 501 shall take place at the discretion of the 
     Secretary of the Treasury and shall be phased in over 3 years 
     after the date of enactment of this Act. After the expiration 
     of one year after the second redesigned coin is put into 
     circulation, the Congress may, at its discretion, direct the 
     Secretary to reconsider the design of any redesigned coin. In 
     selecting new designs, the Secretary shall consider, among 
     other factors, thematic representations of the following 
     concepts from the Bill of Rights: freedom of speech and 
     assembly; freedom of the press; the right to due process of 
     law; and other appropriate themes. The designs shall be 
     selected by the Secretary upon consultation with the 
     Commission of Fine Arts. All coins minted under section 501 
     shall bear the inscription ``IN GOD WE TRUST'' and such other 
     inscriptions as are required by law.

     SEC. 503. REDUCTION OF THE NATION'S DEBT.

Para. 40.7  message from the president--freedom for russia

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. ABERCROMBIE, laid before the House a 
message from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  I am pleased to transmit a legislative proposal entitled the ``Freedom 
for Russia and Emerging Eurasian Democracies and Open Markets Support 
Act of 1992'' (the FREEDOM Support Act of 1992). Also transmitted is a 
section-by-section analysis of the proposed legislation.
  I am sending this proposal to the Congress now for one urgent reason: 
With the collapse of the Soviet Union, we face an unprecedented 
historical opportunity to help freedom flourish in the new, independent 
states that have replaced the old Soviet Union. The success of democracy 
and open markets in these states is one of our highest foreign policy 
priorities. It can help ensure our security for years to come. And the 
growth of political and economic freedom in these states can also 
provide markets for our investors and businesses and great opportunities 
for friendship between our peoples.
  While this is an election year, this is an issue that transcends any 
election. I have consulted with the congressional leadership and have 
heard the expressions of support from both sides of the aisle for active 
American leadership. I urge all Members of Congress to set aside 
partisan and parochial interests.
  Just as Democrats and Republicans united together for over 40 years to 
advance the cause of freedom during the Cold War, now we need to unite 
together to win the peace, a democratic peace built on the solid 
foundations of political and economic freedom in Russia and the other 
independent states.
  This proposal gives me the tools I need to work with the international 
community to help secure the post-Cold War peace. It provides a flexible 
framework to cope with the fast-changing and unpredictable events 
transforming Russia, Ukraine, Armenia, and the other states. This 
proposal will allow us to:
  --Mobilize fully the executive branch, the Congress, and the private 
    sector to support democracy and free markets in Russia and the 
    other independent states of the former Soviet Union;
  --Address comprehensively the military, political, and economic 
    opportunities created by the collapse of the Soviet Union, 
    targeting our efforts and sharing responsibilities with others in 
    the international community; and
  --Remove decisively the Cold War legislative restrictions that 
    hamstring the Government in providing assistance and impede 
    American companies and businesses from competing fairly in 
    developing trade and investment with the new independent states.
  Passage of this proposal will enable the United States to maintain 
its leadership role as we seek to integrate Russia and the other new 
independent states into the democratic family of nations. Without the 
tools this proposal provides, our policy of collective engagement will 
be constrained, our leadership jeopardized.
  This proposal has 10 key elements:
  First, this proposal provides the necessary flexibility for the 
United States to extend emergency humanitarian assistance to Russia and 
the other new independent states.
  Emergency humanitarian assistance will help the peoples of the former 
Soviet Union to avoid disaster and to reduce the danger of a grave 
humanitarian emergency next winter. In this endeavor, the United States 
will not go it alone but will continue to work closely with the 
international community, a process we initiated at the Washington 
Coordinating Conference in January and will continue in the months 
ahead in regular conferences with our allies. By dividing our labors 
and sharing our responsibilities, we will maximize the effects of our 
efforts and minimize the costs.
  Second, this proposal will make it easier for us to work with the 
Russians and others in dealing with issues of nuclear power safety and 
demilitarization. This proposal broadens the authority for Department 
of Defense monies appropriated last fall for weapons destruction and 
humanitarian transportation to make these funds, as well as foreign 
military financing funds, available for nonproliferation efforts, 
nuclear power safety, and demilitarization and defense conversion.

  Third, technical assistance can help the Russians and others to help 
themselves as they build free markets. Seventy years of totalitarianism 
and command economics prevented the knowledge of free markets from 
taking a firm hold in the lands of Russia and Eurasia. By providing 
know-how, we can help the peoples and governments of the new 
independent states to build their own free market systems open to our 
trade and investment. It will also allow agencies authorized to conduct 
activities in Eastern Europe under the ``Support for East European 
Democracy (SEED) Act of 1989'' to conduct comparable but separate 
activities in the independent states of the former Soviet Union. 
Through organizations such as a Eurasia Foundation, we will be able to 
support a wide range of technical assistance efforts.
  Fourth, this proposal will allow us to significantly expand our 
technical assistance programs that facilitate democratization in the 
new states, including our expanding rule of law program. It will 
authorize support for programs such as ``America Houses.'' It also 
provides support for expanded military-to-military programs with Russia 
and the other new independent states to cultivate a proper role for the 
military in a democratic society.
  Fifth, this proposal provides a clear expression of bipartisan 
support to continue to extend Commodity Credit Corporation credit 
guarantees to Russia and the other new independent states in light of 
the progress they are making toward free markets. As they overcome 
their financial difficulties, we should take into account their 
commitment to economic freedom in providing credit guarantees that will 
help feed their peoples while helping American farmers.

  Sixth, for American business, this proposal expands authority for 
credit and investment guarantee programs such as those conducted by the 
Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) and the Export-Import 
Bank. It will allow us to waive statutory ceilings on credit guarantee 
programs of the Export-Import Bank Act and other agencies that applied 
to the Soviet Union and the restrictions of the Johnson Debt Default 
Act on private lending. In this way, it will expand U.S. exports to and 
investment in Russia and the other new independent states.
  Seventh, this bill will facilitate the development of the private 
sector in the former Soviet Union. This bill removes Cold War 
impediments while promoting outside investment and enhanced trade. It 
will also allow waiver of restrictions on imports from the independent 
states of the former Soviet Union beyond those applied to other 
friendly countries. It will support efforts to further ease 
Coordinating Committee (COCOM) restrictions on high technology. The 
bill will also allow the establishment of Enterprise Funds and a 
capital increase for the International Financial Corporation.
  Eighth, this proposal will allow the United States to work 
multilaterally with other nations and the international financial 
institutions toward macroeconomic stabilization. At the end of World 
War II, the United States stood alone in helping the nations of Western 
Europe recover from the devastation of the war. Now, after the Cold 
War, we have the institutions in place--the International Monetary Fund 
(IMF) and the World Bank--that can play a leading role in supporting 
economic reform in Russia and Eurasia.
  Therefore, this proposal endorses an increase in the IMF quota for 
the Unit-

[[Page 554]]

ed States. This will help position the IMF to support fully a program 
of macroeconomic stabilization. I request the Congress to pass both the 
authorization and appropriations necessary for this purpose.

  Ninth, this proposal endorses a significant U.S. contribution to a 
multilateral currency stabilization fund. Working with the 
international financial institutions and the other members of the G-7, 
we are putting together a stabilization fund that will support economic 
reform in Russia and the other independent states.
  Tenth, this proposal provides for an expanded American presence in 
Russia and the other new independent states, facilitating both 
government-to-government relations and opportunities for American 
business. Through organizations such as the Peace Corps and the 
Citizens Democracy Corps, we will be able to put a large number of 
American advisors on the ground in the former Soviet Union.
  In sending this authorization legislation to the Congress, I also 
request concurrent action to provide the appropriations necessary to 
make these authorizations a reality. In order to support fully 
multilateral efforts at macroeconomic stabilization, I urge the 
Congress to move quickly to fulfill the commitment of the United States 
to the IMF quota increase. And I urge prompt enactment of the 
appropriations requests for the former Soviet Union contained in the 
Fiscal Years 1992 and 1993 Budget requests presently before the 
Congress.
  I call upon the Congress to show the American people that in our 
democratic system, both parties can set aside their political 
differences to meet this historic challenge and to join together to do 
what is right.
  On this occasion, there should be only one interest that drives us 
forward: America's national interest.
                                                         George Bush.

Para. 41.17  message from the president--el salvador-fmln cease-fire 
          agreement

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. RAY, laid before the House a message from 
the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  Section 531 of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related 
Programs Appropriations Act, 1991 (Public Law 101-513), provides that 
amounts in the Demobilization and Transition Fund established for 
peacekeeping purposes by that act shall be made available for obligation 
and expenditure only upon notification by the President to the Congress 
that the Government of El Salvador and representatives of the Farabundo 
Marti Liberation Front (FMLN) have reached a permanent settlement of the 
conflict, including a final agreement on a cease-fire. On January 16, 
1992, the Government of El Salvador and the FMLN signed such an 
agreement, bringing an end to the civil conflict.
  Consistent with section 531, I hereby provide notification that the 
Government of El Salvador and representatives of the FMLN have reached a 
permanent settlement of the conflict, including a final agreement on a 
cease-fire.
  This notification allows the amounts in the Demobilization and 
Transition Fund (Fund) to be made available for obligation and 
expenditure. The Secretary of State will have responsibility for 
administering the Fund.
  It is extremely important for the United States to support the 
implementation of this historic peace agreement, and I look forward to 
your continued cooperation toward achieving our mutual objectives in 
this endeavor.
                                                          George Bush.  
    The White House, April 7, 1992.

  By unanimous consent, the message was referred to the Committee on 
Appropriations and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 102-284).

Para. 41.18  message from the president--national emergency with respect 
          to panama

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. RAY, laid before the House a message from 
the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  1. I hereby report to the Congress on developments since the last 
Presidential report on October 3, 1991, concerning the continued 
blocking of Panamanian government assets. This report is submitted 
pursuant to section 207(d) of the International Emergency Economic 
Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1706(d).
  2. On April 5, 1990, I issued Executive Order No. 12710, terminating 
the national emergency declared on April 8, 1988, with respect to 
Panama. While this order terminated the sanctions imposed pursuant to 
that declaration, the blocking of Panamanian government assets in the 
United States was continued in order to permit completion of the orderly 
unblocking and transfer of funds that I directed on December 20, 1989, 
and to foster the resolution of claims of U.S. creditors involving 
Panama, pursuant to 50 U.S.C. 1706(a). The termination of the national 
emergency did not affect the continuation of compliance audits and 
enforcement actions with respect to activities taking place during the 
sanctions period, pursuant to 50 U.S.C. 1622(a).
  3. The Office of Foreign Assets Control of the Department of the 
Treasury (``FAC'') has released to the control of the Government of 
Panama approximately $134 million of the approximately $137.3 million 
that remained blocked at the time of my last report. The amount released 
represents blocked financial accounts that the Government of Panama 
requested be unblocked.
  Of the approximately $6.1 million remaining blocked at this time 
(which includes approximately $2.8 million in interest credited to the 
accounts since my last report), some $5.5 million is held in escrow by 
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the request of the Government of 
Panama. Additionally, approximately $600,000 is held in commercial bank 
accounts for which the Government of Panama has not requested 
unblocking. A small residual in blocked reserve accounts established 
under section 565.509 of the Panamanian Transactions Regulations, 31 CFR 
565.509, remains on the books of U.S. firms pending the final 
reconciliation of accounting records involving claims and counterclaims 
between the firms and the Government of Panama.
  4. I will continue to report periodically to the Congress on the 
exercise of authorities to prohibit transactions involving property in 
which the Government of Panama has an interest, pursuant to 50 U.S.C. 
1706(d).
                                                          George Bush.  
    The White House, April 7, 1992.

  By unanimous consent, the message was referred to the Committee on 
Foreign Affairs and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 102-285).

Para. 41.19  providing for the recommittal of conference report on s. 3

  Mr. MOAKLEY, by direction of the Committee on Rules, reported (Rept. 
No. 102-484) the resolution (H. Res. 420) providing for the recommittal 
to conference of the conference report to accompany the bill (S. 3) to 
amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to provide for a 
voluntary system of spending limits for Senate election campaigns, and 
for other purposes.
  When said resolution and report were referred to the House Calendar 
and ordered printed.

Para. 41.20  submission of conference report--h.r. 3337

  Mr. TORRES submitted a conference report (Rept. No. 102-485) on the 
bill (H.R. 3337) to require the Secretary of the Treasury to mint a coin 
in commemoration of the Two-hundredth Anniversary of the White House; 
together with a statement thereon, for printing in the Record under the 
rule.

Para. 41.21  message from the president--national emergency with respect 
          to haiti

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. RAY, laid before the House a message from 
the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  1. On October 4, 1991, in Executive Order No. 12775, I declared a 
national emergency to deal with the threat to the national security, 
foreign policy, and economy of the United States caused by events that 
had occurred in Haiti to disrupt the legitimate exercise of power by the 
democratically elected government of that country (56 FR 50641). In that 
order, I ordered the immediate blocking of all property and interests in 
property of the Government of Haiti (including the Banque de la 
Republique d'Haiti) then or thereafter located in the United States or 
within the possession or control of a U.S. person, including its 
overseas branches. I also prohibited any direct or indirect payments or 
transfers to

[[Page 559]]

the de facto regime in Haiti of funds or other financial or investment 
assets or credits by any U.S. person or any entity organized under the 
laws of Haiti and owned or controlled by a U.S. person.
  Subsequently, on October 28, 1991, I issued Executive Order No. 12779 
adding trade sanctions against Haiti to the sanctions imposed on October 
4 (56 FR 55975). Under this order, I prohibited exportation from the 
United States of goods, technology, and services, and importation into 
the United States of Haiti-origin goods and services, after November 5, 
1991, with certain limited exceptions. The order exempts trade in 
publications and other informational materials from the import, export, 
and payment prohibitions and permits the exportation to Haiti of 
donations to relieve human suffering as well as commercial sales of five 
food commodities: rice, beans, sugar, wheat flour, and cooking oil. In 
order to permit the return to the United States of goods being prepared 
for U.S. customers by Haiti's substantial ``assembly sector,'' the order 
also permitted, through December 5, 1991, the importation into the 
United States of goods assembled or processed in Haiti that contained 
parts or materials previously exported to Haiti from the United States.
  2. The declaration of the national emergency on October 4, 1991, was 
made pursuant to the authority vested in me as President by the 
Constitution and laws of the United States, including the International 
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701, et seq.), the National 
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and section 301 of title 3 of 
the United States Code. I reported the emergency declaration to the 
Congress on October 4, 1991, pursuant to section 204(b) of the 
International Emergency Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1703(b)). The additional 
sanctions set forth in my order of October 28 were imposed pursuant to 
the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United 
States, including the statutes cited above, and implement in the United 
States Resolution MRE/RES. 2/91, adopted by the Ad Hoc Meeting of 
Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Organization of American States 
(``OAS'') on October 8, 1991, which called on Member States to impose a 
trade embargo on Haiti and to freeze Government of Haiti assets. The 
present report is submitted pursuant to 50 U.S.C. 1641(c) and 1703(c) 
and discusses Administration actions and expenses directly related to 
the national emergency with respect to Haiti declared in Executive Order 
No. 12775, as implemented pursuant to that order and Executive Order No. 
12779.
  3. On March 31, 1992, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the 
Department of the Treasury (``FAC''), after consultation with other 
Federal agencies, issued the Haitian Transactions Regulations, 31 C.F.R. 
Part 580 (57 FR 10820, March 31, 1992), to implement the prohibitions 
set forth in Executive Orders Nos. 12775 and 12779.
  Prior to the issuance of the final regulations, FAC issued a number of 
general licenses to address urgent situations requiring an 
interpretation of U.S. sanctions policy in advance of the final 
regulations. These general licenses provided agency policy regarding the 
articles (baggage, personal effects, etc.) that could be exported or 
imported by travelers to and from Haiti; the treatment of amounts owned 
to the de facto regime by U.S. persons for certain telecommunications 
services; the movement of diplomatic pouches; the obligation of banks 
and other financial institutions with respect to Government of Haiti 
funds in their possession or control; authorization of commercial 
shipments to Haiti of medicines and medical supplies; and the 
circumstances under which certain exportations to, or importations from, 
the ``assembly sector'' in Haiti would be permitted. These general 
licenses have been incorporated into the Haitian Transactions 
Regulations.
  4. The ouster of Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the democratically elected 
President of Haiti, in an illegal coup by elements of the Haitian 
military on September 30, 1991, was immediately repudiated and 
vigorously condemned by the OAS. The convening on September 30 of an 
emergency meeting of the OAS Permanent Council to address this crisis 
reflected an important first use of a mechanism approved at the 1991 OAS 
General Assembly in Santiago, Chile, requiring the OAS to respond to a 
sudden or irregular interruption of the functioning of a democratic 
government anywhere in the Western Hemisphere. As an OAS Member State, 
the United States has participated actively in OAS diplomatic efforts to 
restore democracy in Haiti and has supported fully the OAS resolutions 
adopted in response to the crisis, including Resolution MRE/RES. 2/91.
  5. In these initial months of the Haitian sanctions program, FAC has 
made extensive use of its authority to specifically license transactions 
with respect to Haiti in an effort to mitigate the effects of the 
sanctions on the legitimate Government of Haiti and on U.S. firms having 
established relationship with Haiti's ``assembly sector,'' and to ensure 
the availability of necessary medicines and medical supplies and the 
undisrupted flow of humanitarian donations to Haiti's poor. For example, 
specific licenses have been issued (1) permitting expenditures from 
blocked assets for the operations of the legitimate Government of Haiti, 
(2) permitting U.S. firms wishing to terminate assembly operations in 
Haiti to return equipment, machinery, and parts and materials 
inventories to the United States and, beginning February 5, 1992, 
permitting firms wishing to resume assembly operations in Haiti to do so 
provided the prohibition on payments to the de facto regime is complied 
with, and (3) permitting the continued material support of U.S. and 
international religious, charitable, public health, and other 
humanitarian organizations and projects operating in Haiti.
  6. Since the issuance of Executive Order No. 12779, FAC has worked 
closely with the U.S. Customs Service to ensure both that prohibited 
imports and exports (including those in which the Government of Haiti 
has an interest) are identified and interdicted and that permitted 
imports and exports move to their intended destination without undue 
delay. Violations and suspected violations of the embargo are being 
investigated, and appropriate enforcement actions will be taken.
  7. The expenses incurred by the Federal Government in the 6-month 
period from October 4, 1991, through April 3, 1992, that are directly 
attributable to the authorities conferred by the declaration of a 
national emergency with respect to Haiti are estimated at $323,000, most 
of which represent wage and salary costs for Federal personnel. 
Personnel costs were largely centered in the Department of the Treasury 
(particularly in FAC, the U.S. Customs Service, and the Office of the 
General Counsel), the Department of State, the Department of Commerce, 
and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
  8. The assault on Haiti's democracy represented by the military's 
forced exile of President Aristide continues to pose an unusual and 
extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and 
economy of the United States. The United States remains committed to a 
multilateral resolution of this crisis through its actions implementing 
the resolutions of the OAS with respect to Haiti. I shall continue to 
exercise the powers at my disposal to apply economic sanctions against 
Haiti as long as these measures are appropriate, and will continue to 
report periodically to the Congress on significant developments pursuant 
to 50 U.S.C. 1703(c).
                                                          George Bush.  
  The White House, April 7, 1992.

  By unanimous consent, the message was referred to the Committee on 
Foreign Affairs and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 102-287).

Para. 41.22  leave of absence

     with disabilities, and other concerned members of the public.
       (3) Criteria.--The system or systems developed pursuant to 
     paragraph (1) shall--
       (A) propose a description of the kinds of disabilities that 
     impose such difficulty in travel to polling places that a 
     person with a disability who may desire to vote is 
     discouraged from undertaking such travel;
       (B) propose procedures to identify persons who are so 
     disabled; and
       (C) describe procedures and equipment that may be used to 
     ensure that--
       (i) only those persons who are entitled to use the system 
     are permitted to use it;
       (ii) the votes of persons who use the system are recorded 
     accurately and remain secret;
       (iii) the system minimizes the possibility of vote fraud;

     operating the system.
       (4) Requests for proposals.--In developing a system 
     described in paragraph (1), the Federal Election Commission 
     may request proposals from private contractors for the design 
     of procedures and equipment to be used in the system.
       (5) Physical access.--Nothing in this section is intended 
     to supersede or supplant efforts by State and local 
     governments to make polling places physically accessible to 
     persons with disabilities.
       (6) Deadline.--The Federal Election Commission shall submit 
     to Congress the study required by this section not later than 
     1 year after the date of enactment of this Act.

     in connection with an election for Federal office shall be 
     paid by the authorized committee of the President. Such 
     portion shall be paid within 10 days of the travel. For 
     purposes of this section, travel which is in any part related 
     to campaign activity, shall be treated as in connection with 
     an election for Federal office, and the payment for such 
     travel shall be sufficient to reflect that portion which is 
     campaign-related.
       ``(3) The actual costs and payment for costs of any travel 
     provided to the President and Vice President shall be 
     disclosed in accordance with section 304.''.

parties; and (4) To further include the requirement that no taxpayer 
dollars may be used to finance congressional campaigns.
  Pending consideration of said motion,

Para. 43.11  point of order

  Mr. GEJDENSON made a point of order against motion, and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, I would make a point of order that the instructions 
exceed the scope of the conference report. It is clear that the 
requirement of in-district funding is beyond the scope of the conference 
report, and I would move that therefore the motion to recommit should be 
ruled out of order.''.

  Mr. LEACH was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, there are two issues that this Member would like to 
make. One is that in his belief this is thoroughly and utterly germane.
  ``The second point is how extraordinary it is that the party of 
alleged

[[Page 588]]

reform may or may not want to block real reform.''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. ECKART, sustained the point of order, and 
said:

  ``The Chair is prepared to rule.
  ``The gentleman from Connecticut [Mr. Gejdenson] makes a point of 
order against the motion offered by the gentleman from New York [Mr. 
Walsh] on the ground that the instructions therein exceed the scope of 
the conference.
  ``The motion offered by the gentleman from New York proposes to 
instruct the managers on the part of the House to include in the 
conference report three features of a separate bill, H.R. 3770. Each of 
these three initiatives falls outside the matters committed to the 
conference as disagreements between the Senate bill and the House 
amendment thereto.
  ``Therefore, under clause 3 of rule XXVIII, a conference report may 
not include a matter although germane that was not committed to the 
conference of either House.
  ``In the opinion of the Chair, the instructions proposed in the motion 
offered by the gentleman from New York exceed the scope of the 
differences committed to the conference, and the point of order is 
sustained.''.

  Mr. WALSH moved to recommit the conference report on the bill of the 
Senate (S. 3) to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to 
provide for a voluntary system of spending limits for Senate election 
campaigns, and for other purposes, to the committee of conference with 
the following instructions to the managers on the part of the House to 
strip all sections from the bill that allow for public financing of 
subsidies of congressional campaigns, to wit sections providing for 
matching payments to candidates, voter communication vouchers, and 
reduced postal rate subsidies for candidates.
  By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered on the motion 
to recommit with instructions.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House recommit said conference report with instructions?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. ECKART, announced that the nays had it.
  Mr. WALSH demanded that the vote be taken by the yeas and nays, which 
demand was supported by one-fifth of the Members present, so the yeas 
and nays were ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device.

It was decided in the

Para. 43.14  privileges of the house

  Mr. DOOLITTLE rose to a question of the privileges of the House and 
submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 430):

       Whereas, pursuant to H.R. 340, the House directed the 
     Committee on House Administration to investigate the 
     operation and management of the Office of the Postmaster and;
       Whereas, H.R. 340, required the committee to report its 
     findings and recommendations no later than May 30, 1992 and;
       Whereas, the chairman of the Committee on House 
     Administration pledge before the House that the investigation 
     would be handled equally by the majority and minority parties 
     and;
       Whereas, the chairman of the Committee on House 
     Administration in a letter to the ranking minority members 
     wrote that ``decisions will be made by a majority of the Task 
     Force'' and;
       Whereas, the Associated Press reported on April 9, 1992, an 
     article that stated that a Member of the Committee had 
     ordered aides/or committee staff to remove locks to a room 
     and replace the locks where witnesses were being interviewed 
     by members of the Ad Hoc investigating committee and;
       Whereas, the integrity of House proceedings and the 
     integrity of investigations must be protected from deliberate 
     interference: Now therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the chairman and vice chairman of the Ad Hoc 
     Committee investigating the Post Office appear before the 
     House by close of business on April 9, 1992 and explain the 
     reported attempt to interfere with the ongoing investigation.
       Resolved, That House again affirms the need for an 
     expedited investigation into the Office of the Postmaster and 
     condemns any attempt to interfere or impede this 
     investigation.

  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. DOOLITTLE, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection.
  The question being put viva voce,
  Will the House agree to said resolution?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MURTHA, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. WALKER objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken by 
electronic device.

  So the resolution was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said resolution was agreed to 
was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.

Para. 43.16  privileges of the house

  Mr. RIGGS rose to a question of the privileges of the House and 
submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 431):

       Whereas recent press accounts have cited allegations of 
     illegal hiring practices and ghost employees in the House of 
     Representatives and;
       Whereas such allegations violations reflect upon the 
     integrity of the House of Representatives and;
       Whereas the Code of Ethics for Government Services (H. Con. 
     Res. 175, 72 Stat. Part 2, B 12) calls on each government 
     official to: ``Never discriminate unfairly by the dispensing 
     of special favors or privileges to anyone, whether for 
     remuneration or not; and never accept for himself or his 
     family, favors or benefits under circumstances which might be 
     construed by reasonable persons as influencing the 
     performance of his governmental duties.'' and;
       Whereas such allegations would constitute violations of 
     Rule XLIII, clauses 8, of the Code of Official Conduct which 
     states that ``A member or officer of the House shall retain 
     no one under his payroll authority who does not perform 
     official duties commensurate with the compensation received * 
     * *'' Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Speaker and Minority Leader shall 
     appoint an ad hoc committee of an equal number of Democrats 
     and Republicans under the jurisdiction of the Committee of 
     Standards of Official Conduct to investigate the published 
     reports and report within 90 days to the full House any 
     violations of House rules.
       Resolved, This ad hoc committee is authorized to appoint a 
     special counsel to assist in this investigation and that the 
     funds necessary for this investigation shall be provided by 
     specific resolution.

  Mr. GEPHARDT moved to lay the resolution on the table.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House lay the resolution on the table?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MURTHA, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. WALKER demanded a recorded vote on said motion, which demand was 
supported by one-fifth of a quorum, so a recorded vote was ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device.

       Whereas, the Department of Justice is conducting a criminal 
     investigation into the activities of the Office of the House 
     Postmaster; and
       Whereas, the investigation of criminal conduct includes 
     allegations of the sale of narcotics, the embezzlement of 
     public funds, and obstruction of justice by employees and or 
     officers of the House; and
       Whereas, allegations have been made publicly that officers 
     of the House or employees may have engaged in obstructing 
     justice by delaying or impeding an investigation by the 
     Capitol police into alleged improprieties in the Office of 
     the Postmaster; and
       Whereas, public allegations have been made concerning 
     conduct of the counsel to the Clerk of the House and the 
     investigation by the Capitol police; and
       Whereas, the Code of Conduct requires ``* * * employee * * 
     * shall conduct himself at all times in a matter which shall 
     reflect creditably on the House of Representatives''; and
       Whereas, the allegations of illegal activities and of 
     obstruction of justice impugn the integrity of the House; and
       Whereas, the counsel to the Clerk of the House or any 
     employee or officer of the House should refrain from 
     potential conflicts of interest; and
       Whereas, the Clerk of the House is authorized to receive 
     judicial writs, warrants and subpoenas and thereby be 
     involved with the specifics of any legal proceedings 
     including the investigation by the Department of Justice: 
     Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the House of Representatives directs the 
     Clerk of the House to recuse his counsel from receiving, 
     reviewing or drafting of any, and all, writs, warrants, 
     subpoenas, and documents requested from or issued by the 
     Department of Justice surrounding the legal proceedings on 
     the criminal investigations of the Office of the Postmaster. 
     The Clerk of House is further directed to instruct his 
     counsel to refrain from participating in discussions with 
     other employees or officers of the House with any matters 
     with respect to the Department of Justice criminal 
     investigation into the Office of the Postmaster.

following resolution (H. Res. 425):

       Resolved, That it shall be in order for the Speaker on 
     Thursday, April 9, 1992, to entertain a motion to suspend the 
     rules to dispose of the Senate amendment to the bill (H.R. 
     2967) to amend the Older Americans Act of 1965 to authorize 
     appropriations for fiscal years 1992 through 1995; to

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to said resolution?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. KLECZKA, announced that the nays had it.
  Mr. GORDON demanded a recorded vote on agreeing to said resolution, 
which demand was not supported by one-fifth of a quorum, so a recorded 
vote was refused.
  Mr. HASTERT objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken by

executive branch. The laws in question are Title VI of the Ethics in 
Government Act, conflicts of interest laws, the Hatch Act, the Freedom 
of Information Act, and the Privacy Act. The scope of this proposal has 
been carefully tailored to take into account the unique characteristics 
of the Congress and its Members. Moreover, none of the provisions of 
this legislation except those implicating criminal penalties calls for 
executive branch enforcement. Rather, all are to be enforced either by 
private suit, entities within the General Accounting Office (an 
instrumentality of the legislative branch), or both. This legislation 
therefore does not present the constitutional separation-of-powers 
questions that might be presented by general executive branch 
administration of laws applied to the legislative branch.
  I urge the Congress to give this legislation prompt and favorable 
consideration.

  The White House, April 9, 1992.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying

     Secretary finds that a person other than an individual has 
     been convicted, after the date of the enactment of this 
     section, of a felony under Federal law for conduct relating 
     to the development or approval, including the process for 
     development or approval, of any abbreviated drug application, 
     the Secretary shall debar such person from submitting, or 
     assisting in the submission of, any such application.

     individual has been convicted of a felony under Federal law 
     for conduct--

     the process for development or approval, of any drug product, 
     or
       ``(B) otherwise relating to the regulation of any drug 
     product under this Act,

     services in any capacity to a person that has an approved or 
     pending drug product application.
       ``(b) Permissive Debarment.--
       ``(1) In general.--The Secretary, on the Secretary's own 
     initiative or in response to a petition, may, in accordance 
     with paragraph (2), debar--
       ``(A) a person other than an individual from submitting or 
     assisting in the submission of any abbreviated drug 
     application, or
       ``(B) an individual from providing services in any capacity 
     to a person that has an approved or pending drug product 
     application.

     following persons are subject to debarment under paragraph 
     (1):
       ``(A) Corporations, partnerships, and associations.--Any 
     person other than an individual that the Secretary finds has 
     been convicted--

       ``(I) relates to the development or approval, including the 
     process for the development or approval, of any abbreviated 
     drug application; and
       ``(II) is a felony under Federal law (if the person was 
     convicted before the date of the enactment of this section), 
     a misdemeanor under Federal law, or a felony under State law, 
     or

       ``(ii) of a conspiracy to commit, or aiding or abetting, a 
     criminal offense described in clause (i) or a felony 
     described in subsection (a)(1),

     as the basis for such conviction undermines the process for 
     the regulation of drugs.

       ``(i) Any individual whom the Secretary finds has been 
     convicted of--

       ``(I) a misdemeanor under Federal law or a felony under 
     State law for conduct relating to the development or 
     approval, including the process for development or approval,

     bribery, payment of illegal gratuities, fraud, perjury, false 
     statement, racketeering, blackmail, extortion, falsification 
     or destruction of records, or interference with, obstruction 
     of an investigation into, or prosecution of, any criminal 
     offense, or
       ``(II) a conspiracy to commit, or aiding or abetting, such 
     felony,

     if the Secretary finds, on the basis of the conviction of 
     such individual and other information, that such individual 
     has demonstrated a pattern of conduct sufficient to find that 
     there is reason to believe that such individual may violate 
     requirements under this Act relating to drug products.
       ``(iii) Any individual whom the Secretary finds materially 
     participated in acts that were the basis for a conviction for 
     an offense described in subsection (a) or in clause (i) or 
     (ii) for which a conviction was obtained, if the Secretary 
     finds, on the basis of such participation and other 
     information, that such individual has demonstrated a pattern 
     of conduct sufficient to find that there is reason to believe 
     that such individual may violate requirements under this Act 
     relating to drug products.
       ``(iv) Any high managerial agent whom the Secretary finds--

       ``(I) worked for, or worked as a consultant for, the same 
     person as another individual during the period in which such 
     other individual took actions for which a felony conviction 
     was obtained and which resulted in the debarment under 
     subsection (a)(2), or clause (i), of such other individual,
       ``(II) had actual knowledge of the actions described in 
     subclause (I) of such other individual, or took action to 
     avoid such actual knowledge, or failed to take action for the 
     purpose of avoiding such actual knowledge,
       ``(III) knew that the actions described in subclause (I) 
     were violative of law, and

     actions to be reported, to an officer, employee, or agent of 
     the Department or to an appropriate law enforcement officer, 
     or failed to take other appropriate action that would have 
     ensured that the process for the regulation of drugs was not 
     undermined, within a reasonable time after such agent first 
     knew of such actions,

     if the Secretary finds that the type of conduct which served 
     as the basis for such other individual's conviction 
     undermines the process for the regulation of drugs.
       ``(3) Stay of certain orders.--An order of the Secretary 
     under clause (iii) or (iv) of paragraph (2)(B) shall not take 
     effect until 30 days after the order has been issued.

     subsection (a)(2) or (b)(2)(B), debar an individual from 
     providing services in any capacity to a person that has an 
     approved or pending drug product application and shall not 
     accept or review (other than in connection with an audit 
     under this section) an abbreviated drug application from such 
     individual, and
       ``(C) shall, if the Secretary makes the finding described 
     in paragraph (6) or (7) of section 307(a), assess a civil 
     penalty in accordance with section 307.
       ``(2) Debarment periods.--
       ``(A) In general.--The Secretary shall debar a person under 
     subsection (a) or (b) for the following periods:
       ``(i) The period of debarment of a person (other than an 
     individual) under subsection (a)(1) shall not be less than 1 
     year or more than 10 years, but if an act leading to a 
     subsequent debarment under subsection (a) occurs within 10 
     years after such person has been debarred under subsection 
     (a)(1), the period of debarment shall be permanent.

     (a)(2) shall be permanent.
       ``(iii) The period of debarment of any person under

     The Secretary may determine whether debarment periods shall

     debarred for multiple offenses.

     described in subsection (a) or (b) or upon execution of an 
     agreement with the United States to plead guilty to such an 
     offense, the person involved may notify the Secretary that 
     the person acquiesces to debarment and such person's 
     debarment shall commence upon such notification.
       ``(3) Considerations.--In determining the appropriateness 
     and the period of a debarment of a person under subsection 
     (b) and any period of debarment beyond the minimum specified 
     in subparagraph (A)(i) of paragraph (2), the Secretary shall 
     consider where applicable--

     practices encouraged the offense, including whether 
     inadequate institutional controls contributed to the offense,

     the impact on the public of any offense involved, including 
     the recall or the discontinuation of the distribution of 
     suspect drugs, full cooperation with any investigations 
     (including the extent of disclosure to appropriate 
     authorities of all wrongdoing), the relinquishing of profits 
     on drug approvals fraudulently obtained, and any other 
     actions taken to substantially limit potential or actual 
     adverse effects on the public health,
       ``(D) whether the extent to which changes in ownership, 
     management, or operations have corrected the causes of any 
     offense involved and provide reasonable assurances that the 
     offense will not occur in the future,

     adequate evidence that current production of drugs subject to 
     abbreviated drug applications and all pending abbreviated 
     drug applications are free of fraud or material false 
     statements, and
       ``(F) prior convictions under this Act or under other Acts 
     involving matters within the jurisdiction of the Food and 
     Drug Administration.

     subsection (a) (other than a person permanently debarred) or 
     any person that is debarred under subsection (b) may apply to 
     the Secretary for termination of the debarment under this

Para. 44.16  message from the president--job training 2000

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. NEAL of North Carolina, laid before the 
House a message from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:

  I am pleased to transmit today for your immediate consideration and 
enactment the ``Job Training 2000 Act.'' This legislation would reform 
the Federal vocational training system to meet the Nation's work force 
needs into the 21st century by establishing: (1) a network of local 
skill centers to serve as a common point of entry to vocational 
training; (2) a certification system to ensure that only high quality 
vocational training programs receive Federal funds; and (3) a voucher 
system for vocational training to enhance participant choice.
  Currently, a myriad of programs administered by a number of Federal 
agencies offer vocational education and job training at a cost of 
billions of dollars each year. This investment in the federally 
supported education and training system should provide opportunities to 
acquire the vital skills to succeed in a changing economy. 
Unfortunately, the current reality is that services are disjointed, and 
administration is inefficient. Few individuals--especially young, low-
income, unskilled people--are able to obtain crucial information on the 
quality of training programs and the job opportunities and skill 
requirements in the fields for which training is available.
  The Job Training 2000 Act transforms this maze of programs into a 
vocational training system responsive to the needs of individuals, 
business, and the national economy.
  Four key principles underlie the Job Training 2000 Act. First, the 
proposal is designed to simplify and coordinate services for individuals 
seeking vocational training or information relating to such training. 
Second, it would decentralize decision-making and create a flexible 
service delivery structure for public programs that reflects local labor 
market conditions, Third, it would ensure high standards of quality and 
accountability for federally funded vocational training programs. 
Fourth, it would encourage greater and more effective private sector 
involvement in the vocational training programs.
  The Job Training 2000 initiative would be coordinated through the 
Private Industry Councils (PICs) formed under the Job Training 
Partnership Act (JTPA). PICs are the public/private governing boards 
that oversee local job training programs in nearly 650 JTPA service 
delivery areas. A majority of PIC members are private sector 
representatives. Other members are from educational agencies, labor, 
community-based organizations, the public Employment Service, and 
economic development agencies.
  Under the Job Training 2000 Act, the benefits of business community 
input, now available only to JTPA, would enhance other Federal 
vocational training programs. PICs would form the ``management core'' of 
the Job Training 2000 system and would oversee skill centers, certify 
(in conjunction with State agencies) federally funded vocational 
training programs, and manage the vocational training voucher system. 
Under this system, PICs would be accountable to Governors for their 
activities, who in turn would report on performance to a Federal 
Vocational Training Council.
  The skill centers would be established under this Act as a one-stop 
entry point to provide workers and employers with easy access to 
information about vocational training, labor markets, and other services 
available throughout the community. The skill centers would be 
designated by the local PICs after consultations within the local 
community. These centers would replace the dozens of entry points now in 
each community. Centers would present a coherent menu of options and 
services to individuals seeking assistance: assessment of skill levels 
and service needs, information on occupations and earnings, career 
counseling and planning, employability development, information on 
federally funded vocational training programs, and referrals to 
agencies and programs providing a wide range of services.

  The skill centers would enter into written agreements regarding their 
operation with participating Federal vocational training programs. The 
programs would agree to provide certain core services only through the 
skill centers and would transfer sufficient resources to the skill 
centers to provide such services. These provisions would ensure 
improved client access, minimize duplication, and enhance the 
effectiveness of vocational training programs.
  The Job Training 2000 Act also would establish a certification system 
for Federal vocational training that is based on performance. To be 
eligible to receive Federal vocational training funds, a program would 
have to provide effective training as measured by outcomes, including 
job placement, retention, and earnings. The PIC, in conjunction with 
the designated State agency, would certify programs that meet these 
standards. This system would increase the availability of information 
to clients regarding the performance of vocational training programs 
and ensure that Federal funds are only used for quality programs.
  For the most part, vocational training provided under JTPA, the Carl 
D. Perkins Vocational Education Act (postsecondary only), and the Food 
Stamp Employment and Training Program would be provided through a 
voucher system. The voucher system would be operated under a local 
agreement between the PIC and covered programs. The system would 
provide participants with the opportunity to choose from among 
certified service providers. The vouchers would also contain financial 
incentives for successful training outcomes. By promoting choice and 
competition among service providers, the establishment of this system 
would enhance the quality of vocational training.
  This legislation provides an important opportunity to improve 
services to youths and adults needing to raise their skills for the 
labor market by focusing on the ``consumer's'' needs rath-

[[Page 655]]

er than preserving outmoded and disjointed traditional approaches. 
Enactment of this legislation would make significant contributions to 
the country's competitiveness by enhancing the opportunities available 
to our current and future workers and increasing the skills and 
productivity of our work force.
  I urge the Congress to give this legislation prompt and favorable 
consideration.
                                                         George Bush.

  So the amendment was not agreed to.
  After some further time,
  The SPEAKER resumed the Chair.
  When Mr. HARRIS, Chairman, reported that the Committee, having had 
under consideration said bill, had come to no resolution thereon.

Para. 45.10  order of business--consideration of h. res. 440 and h. res. 
          441

  On motion of Mr. GEPHARDT, by unanimous consent,
  Ordered, That it may be in order without the intervention of any 
motion to consider a resolution to be offered by the Majority Leader, or 
his designee, as a question of the privileges of the House; that debate 
on the resolution continue not to exceed one hour, to be equally divided 
and controlled by the Majority Leader and the Minority Leader, or their 
designees; that the previous question be considered as ordered on the 
resolution to final adoption without intervening motion; and that the 
resolution on final adoption not be subject to a demand for a division 
of the question; and
  Ordered further, That immediately upon disposition of the aforesaid 
resolution it shall be in order without the intervention of any motion 
to consider a resolution to be offered by the Minority Leader, or his 
designee, as a question of the privileges of the House; that debate on 
the resolution continue not to exceed one hour, to be equally divided 
and controlled by the Minority Leader and the Majority Leader, or their 
designees; that the previous question be considered as ordered on the 
resolution to final adoption without intervening motion; and that the 
resolution on final adoption not be subject to a demand for a division 
of the question.

Para. 45.11  privileges of the house

  Mr. GEPHARDT rose to a question of the privileges of the House and 
pursuant to the foregoing special order submitted the following 
privileged resolution (H. Res. 440):

       Directing the release of certain materials relating to the 
     inquiry of the operation of the bank of the Sergeant at Arms 
     pursuant to House Resolution 236 in a manner consistent with 
     enforcement of criminal law and procedure, respect for the 
     constitutional structure of government and the individual 
     rights assured to all citizens, and the expectation of the 
     public that the legal process will be impartial and fair.
       Whereas, on March 27, 1992, Attorney General William Barr, 
     appointed former federal Judge Malcolm A. Wilkey as Special 
     Counsel to the Attorney General to conduct a preliminary 
     inquiry into possible violations of the criminal law arising 
     out of the operations of the former House bank; and
       Whereas, shortly thereafter, employees of the former House 
     bank were made available for interviews in accordance with 
     Judge Wilkey's request and in the spirit of cooperation by 
     the House of Representatives with the preliminary inquiry; 
     and,
       Whereas, on April 20, 1992, the Speaker of the House, on 
     behalf of himself and the Republican leader, forwarded to 
     Judge Wilkey a letter informing him that it would be 
     inconsistent with the Rules of the House of Representatives 
     to provide copies of the records sought by Judge Wilkey 
     without the matter being fully considered by the entire House 
     upon its reconvening the following week; and,
       Whereas, on April 21, 1992, while the House remained in 
     recess, Judge Wilkey caused to be issued subpoenas to the 
     Acting Chairman of the Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct and to the Sergeant at Arms of the House of 
     Representatives calling for production by April 28, 1992, of 
     all records of the former House bank which include all 
     transactions of every person who used the former House bank 
     during a 39-month period, such as Members without overdrafts, 
     Member's spouses, employees, members of the press, and the 
     members of the public, as well as deposit slips and monthly 
     statements of all Members: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the House of Representatives shall comply 
     with the subpoenas issued in connection with the preliminary 
     inquiry of the Special Counsel, in a manner consistent with 
     (1) enforcement of criminal law and procedure; (2) respect 
     for the constitutional structure of government and the 
     individual rights assured to all citizens; and (3) the 
     expectation of the public that the legal process will be 
     impartial and fair: Be it further
       Resolved, That microfilm rolls shall be collected by the 
     Sergeant at Arms and he shall promptly undertake to 
     expeditiously have reproduced in documentary form, using the 
     best available modern technology, the forty-one rolls of 
     microfilm sought by the subpoena: Be it further
       Resolved, The Sergeant at Arms shall obtain from the United 
     States District Court a determination of the enforceability 
     of the subpoena including its materiality and relevance and 
     shall upon receipt of such determination notify the House of 
     the Court's determination: Be it further
       Resolved, The Sergeant at Arms, after providing 
     notification to the House, is authorized and directed to 
     comply with the subpoena consistent with the Court's 
     determination: Be it further
       Resolved, That the House relies upon the assurances of the 
     Special Counsel that he will take such steps as are necessary 
     to provide full protection for the confidentiality of the 
     records provided: Be it further
       Resolved, Consistent with this resolution that it is the 
     will of the House to maintain such communication and 
     cooperation with the Special Counsel as will promote the ends 
     of justice consistent with the privileges and rights of the 
     House and its Members.

  After debate,
  Pursuant to the foregoing special order of the House heretofore agreed 
to, the previous question was considered as ordered on the resolution to 
its adoption or rejection.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to said resolution?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. BONIOR, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. HANSEN demanded that the vote be taken by the yeas and nays, which 
demand was supported by one-fifth of the Members present, so the yeas 
and nays were ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device.

Para. 45.13  privileges of the house

  Mr. MICHEL rose to a question of the privileges of the House and 
pursuant to the foregoing special order submitted the following 
privileged resolution (H. Res. 441):

       Whereas, by letters of April 8 and 21, 1992, to the acting 
     chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
     Standards of Official Conduct and to the Speaker, 
     respectively, the Honorable Malcolm R. Wilkey, Special 
     Counsel to the Attorney General of the United States, has 
     requested a ``cooperative response'' from the committee to 
     his request for materials, specifically 41 microfilm rolls 
     identified in the letter of April 21, in the possession of 
     the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct relating to 
     the inquiry of the operation of the Bank of the Sergeant-at-
     Arms pursuant to House Resolution 236, adopted by the House 
     on October 3, 1991;
       Whereas, the Constitution of the United States vests 
     authority in the House of Representatives to protect and 
     preserve materials of the House; and
       Whereas, by the privileges of the House no evidence of a 
     documentary character under the control and in the possession 
     of the House can, either by the mandate of process of the 
     ordinary courts of justice or pursuant to requests by 
     appropriate Federal or State authorities, be taken from such 
     control or possession except by the permission of the House;

following resolution (H. Res. 442):

       Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this 
     resolution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule 
     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the State of the Union for the consideration 
     of the bill (H.R. 3090) to amend the Public Health Service 
     Act to revise and extend the program of assistance for family 
     planning services, and the first reading of the bill shall be 
     dispensed with. After general debate, which shall be confined 
     to the bill and which shall not exceed one hour, to be 
     equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
     minority member of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, the 
     bill shall be considered as having been read for amendment 
     under the five-minute rule. No amendment to the bill shall be 
     in order except the amendments printed in the report of the 
     Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. Said 
     amendments shall be considered in the order and manner 
     specified in the report and shall be considered as having 
     been read. Said amendments shall be debatable for the period 
     specified in the report, equally divided and controlled by 
     the proponent and a member opposed thereto. Said amendments 
     shall not be subject to amendment. It shall then be in order 
     to consider en bloc the amendments offered by Representative 
     Waxman of California, and said amendments en bloc shall not 
     be subject to a demand for a division of the question in the 
     House or in the Committee of the Whole. At the conclusion of 
     the consideration of the bill for amendment, the Committee 
     shall rise and report the bill to the House, and the previous 
     question shall be considered as ordered on the bill and 
     amendments thereto to final passage without intervening 
     motion except one motion to recommit. After passage of H.R. 
     3090, it shall then be in order to take from the Speaker's 
     table the bill S. 323 and to consider said bill in the House. 
     It shall be in order to move to strike out all after the 
     enacting clause of said Senate bill and to insert in lieu 
     thereof the provisions of H.R. 3090 as passed by the House. 
     All points of order against the motion for failure to comply 
     with the provisions of clause 7 of rule XVI are hereby 
     waived. It shall then be in order to move to insist on the 
     House amendment to S. 323 and request a conference with the 
     Senate.

To the Congress of the United States:
  In accordance with the District of Columbia Self-Government and

Columbia Government's 1993 budget request and 1992 budget supplemental 
request.
  The District of Columbia Government has submitted two alternative 1993 
budget requests. The first alternative is for $3,311 million in 1993 and 
includes a Federal payment of $656 million, the amount authorized and 
requested by the D.C. Mayor and City Council. The second alternative is 
for $3,286 million and includes a Federal payment of $631 million, which 
is the amount contained in the 1993 Federal budget. My transmittal of 
this District budget, as required by law, does not represent an

  As the Congress considers the District's 1993 budget, I urge 
continuation of the policy enacted in the District's appropriations laws 
for fiscal years 1989-1992 of prohibiting the use of both Federal and 
local funds for abortions, except when the life of the mother would be 
endangered if the fetus were carried to term.

     Sea, during which a joint American and Australian naval force 
     first began to turn back the tide of aggression thereby 
     securing Australia from invasion and greatly enhancing allied 
     morale and resolve;
       Whereas the alliance between the United States and 
     Australia during World War II was formalized in the 1951 
     Security Treaty commonly referred to as the ``ANZUS Treaty'', 
     which provides that the United States and Australia will act 
     to meet the common danger in the event of an armed attack in 
     the Pacific against either country;
       Whereas the alliance between the United States and 
     Australia has been characterized by an extraordinary degree 
     of cooperation that includes information sharing, combined 
     exercises, joint training and educational programs, and joint 
     facilities;
       Whereas the relationship between the United States and 
     Australia goes well beyond security cooperation, and is based 
     on common values and beliefs, such as respect for 
     international law, human rights, and the fundamental concepts 
     underlying the democratic process;
       Whereas this relationship is strengthened by a long 
     tradition of friendship, as well as cultural and educational 
     exchanges; and
       Whereas the United States and Australia share a wide range 
     of common interests in Asia and the Pacific, such as growth 
     and liberalization of international trade, as well as 
     regional cooperation on economic development, environmental 
     protection, and the peaceful settlement of disputes: Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of 
     the Battle of the Coral Sea, the Congress--
       (1) pays tribute to the relationship between the United 
     States and Australia, and looks forward to the continued 
     growth and development of this relationship;
       (2) reaffirms the importance of security cooperation 
     between the United States and Australia and the importance of 
     their mutual security commitments; and
       (3) expresses its strong support for continued close 
     cooperation between Australia and the United States on 
     economic and security issues in Asia and the Pacific.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MORAN, recognized Mr. FALEOMAVAEGA and 
Mr. LAGOMARSINO, each for 20 minutes.

resolution?

Members present had voted in the affirmative.
  So, two-thirds of the Members present having voted in favor thereof, 
the rules were suspended and said concurrent resolution was agreed to.

on the table.

concurrent resolution.

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``National Aeronautics and 
     Space Administration Multiyear Authorization Act of 1992''.
           TITLE I--MULTIYEAR AUTHORIZATION FOR CORE PROGRAMS

     SEC. 101. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) investments in research and development are directly 
     linked to long-term productivity and economic growth;
       (2) as a major driver of advanced technology, the space 
     program can play a major role in the Nation's reinvestment in 
     civilian research and development;
       (3) in addition to carrying out the Nation's goals in 
     science and exploration, the space program makes a 
     significant and direct contribution to the national 
     employment base and, through the development of advanced 
     technologies, will contribute to sustaining a healthy 
     employment base and economy in the future;
       (4) the long-term health of the United States space program 
     is critically dependent on maintaining a stable and 
     continuously evolving core program of science, space 
     transportation, space exploration, space technology, and 
     space applications;
       (5) such a core program must be based on a realistic 
     projection of resources that will be available and should not 
     exceed inflationary growth;
       (6) the ending of the Cold War has brought with it the 
     potential to impact adversely the competitive position of the 
     United States by reducing the public's investment in 
     aerospace technology, and the loss of highly skilled 
     aerospace engineers, scientists, and technicians is contrary 
     to the national interest;
       (7) the Nation's space program can provide a productive 
     environment for utilizing the skills of scientists and 
     engineers formerly involved in the Nation's defense sector;
       (8) civil space activities of the United States, whether 
     made possible by, or in response to, Cold War strategic 
     competition with the Soviet Union, must, in an era of 
     declining political conflict, mature as instruments of United 
     States foreign policy, and grow to support the national 
     interest during the post-Cold War era;
       (9) the national interest is furthered by trade and 
     cooperation among friendly nations, and to the extent the 
     former Soviet republics have shown themselves willing and

[[Page 678]]

     capable of fostering a friendship with the United States, the 
     national interest is furthered through trade and cooperation 
     of mutual advantage between the United States and the former 
     Soviet republics in civil aerospace, space science, and space 
     exploration;
       (10) a vigorous and coordinated effort by the United States 
     and other spacefaring nations is needed to minimize the 
     growth of orbital debris, and space activities should be 
     conducted in a manner that minimizes the likelihood of 
     additional orbital debris creation;
       (11) the aerospace industry, rooted in aeronautics, is a 
     major positive contributor to United States international 
     influence and competitiveness;
       (12) aeronautical research and development sustains our 
     leadership in air transport and military aviation worldwide;
       (13) the National Aero-Space Plane is a core technology for 
     any national aerospace policy and will permit the United 
     States to maintain a worldwide competitive posture into the 
     future; and
       (14) it is in the Nation's best economic interest to 
     proceed with the National Aero-Space Plane Phase 3 in fiscal 
     year 1994 so that we can direct our continuing investment to 
     the actual building of the NASP/X-30 Research Airplane.

       TITLE II--MULTIYEAR AUTHORIZATION FOR SPECIAL INITIATIVES

     SEC. 201. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) in addition to carrying out a core space program, 
     international leadership, technological advancement, and 
     expanded scientific knowledge will be enhanced by an expanded 
     space program based on special initiatives in science, 
     exploration, space transportation, space technology, and 
     space applications;
       (2) special initiatives carried out under an expanded space 
     program should compete on an annual basis with other Federal 
     discretionary programs, but not with core space programs;
       (3) the orderly and phased transfer of funding from defense 
     research and development to civilian research and development 
     over the next 5 years will achieve a balance between defense 
     and civilian investments and provide the necessary resources 
     to undertake an expanded space program;
       (4) it is in the national interest and of benefit to 
     international agreements for the Space Station Freedom to 
     plan for the completion of a permanent manned Space Station 
     utilizing a crew of 8 and providing 75 kilowatts of power;
       (5) the successful conduct of an aggressive yet affordable 
     Space Exploration Initiative will critically depend on 
     precursor demonstrations of innovative cost control measures 
     and efficient management practices;
       (6) the Administrator should undertake a focused Earth 
     Observing System program responsive to policy needs; and
       (7) inasmuch as civil launch requirements and launch rates 
     will remain reasonably static over the next decade, the 
     incremental improvement of current vehicles and facilities 
     will provide a low-cost means to enhance United States launch 
     capabilities.

       (1) in the discretion of the Administrator or the 
     Administrator's designee, may be varied upward by 10 percent; 
     or
       (2) following a report by the Administrator or the 
     Administrator's designee to the Committee on Commerce, 
     Science, and Transportation of the Senate and the Committee 
     on Science, Space, and Technology of the House of 
     Representatives on the circumstances of such action, may be 
     varied upward by 25 percent, to meet unusual cost variations.
     The total amount authorized to be appropriated for 
     ``Construction of Facilities'' shall not be increased as a 
     result of actions authorized under paragraphs (1) and (2).

     SEC. 305. SPECIAL REPROGRAMMING AUTHORITY FOR CONSTRUCTION OF 
                   FACILITIES.

       Where the Administrator determines that new developments or 
     scientific or engineering changes in the national program of 
     aeronautical and space activities have occurred; and that 
     such changes require the use of additional funds for the 
     purposes of construction, expansions, or modification of 
     facilities at any location; and that deferral of such action 
     until the enactment of the next authorization Act would be 
     inconsistent with the interest of the Nation in aeronautical 
     and space activities, the Administrator may transfer not to 
     exceed one-half of 1 percent of the funds appropriated for 
     ``Research and Development'' and ``Space Flight, Control, and 
     Data Communications'' to the ``Construction of Facilities''

     so made available pursuant to this section may be expended to 
     acquire, construct, convert, rehabilitate, or install 
     permanent or temporary public works, including land 
     acquisition, site preparation, appurtenances, utilities, and 
     equipment. No such funds may be obligated until a period of 
     30 days has passed after the Administrator or the 
     Administrator's designee has transmitted to the Committee on 
     Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate and the 
     Committee on Science, Space, and Technology of the House of 
     Representatives a written report describing the nature of the 
     construction, its cost, and the reasons therefor.

     SEC. 306. CONSIDERATION BY COMMITTEES.

       Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act--
       (1) no amount appropriated pursuant to this Act may be used 
     for any program deleted by Congress from requests as 
     originally made to either the Committee on Commerce, Science,

     for any program in excess of the amount actually authorized 
     for that particular program by titles I and II of this Act; 
     and
       (3) no amount appropriated pursuant to this Act may be used 
     for any program which has not been presented to either such 
     committee,
     unless a period of 30 days has passed after the receipt, by 
     each such committee, of notice given by the Administrator or 
     the Administrator's designee containing a full and complete 
     statement of the action proposed to be taken and the facts 
     and circumstances relied upon in support of such proposed 
     action. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration

     SEC. 312. SPACE AGENCY FORUM ON INTERNATIONAL SPACE YEAR.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress--
       (1) that it is in the national interest that the Space 
     Agency Forum on International Space Year (in this section 
     referred to as ``SAFISY'') maintain its facilitating role in 
     the coordination of current and planned complementary Earth 
     and space science research findings so as to maximize 
     scientific return;
       (2) that the initiatives for multilateral scientific 
     cooperation among space agencies and international scientific 
     organizations undertaken by SAFISY should continue beyond 
     1992, the International Space Year; and
       (3) that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration 
     and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 
     should pursue implementation of proposals for long-term 
     multilateral scientific cooperation developed during the 
     International Space Year, notably those contained in the 
     report of the second Pacific ISY Conference.
       (b) Report to Congress.--At the earliest practicable date, 
     but not later than September 1, 1993, the National 
     Aeronautics and Space Administration shall submit to Congress 
     its plan for continuing SAFISY activities, with particular 
     reference to planned coordination of current and future 
     complementary Earth and space science research findings, and 
     other acts of multilateral scientific cooperation.

     SEC. 313. CRAF/CASSINI MISSION.

       Section 103(a)(1)(S) of the National Aeronautics and Space 
     Administration Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 1991 (Public 
     Law 101-611; 104 Stat. 3192), is repealed.

     SEC. 314. COOPERATION WITH THE FORMER SOVIET UNION.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the collapse of the former Soviet Union and its 
     replacement by a commonwealth of democratizing republics is 
     one of the most profound changes to occur in world affairs in 
     the 20th century;
       (2) it is an event that will have a fundamental and lasting 
     impact on the United States, both domestically and 
     internationally;
       (3) the domestic impact has already been seen in reduced 
     defense budgets for both personnel and systems procurement, 
     particularly in advanced technology;
       (4) internationally, the impact has already enabled foreign 
     competitors of United States industry to obtain unique 
     advanced technology from the former Soviet Union's military, 
     research, and industrial organizations for a tiny fraction of 
     their development costs;
       (5) these, together with other fundamental and long lasting 
     effects, require that the United States thoroughly reexamine 
     its policy regarding cooperation and trade with the former 
     republics of the Soviet Union, particularly Russia;
       (6) until broad new policies are implemented, the operating 
     predisposition of relevant United States technology 
     authorities shall be flexible, positive, and enabling;
       (7) it is in the national interest that the National 
     Aeronautics and Space Administration aggressively identify, 
     examine, and where appropriate, import unique space hardware, 
     technologies, and services available from former Soviet 
     republics;
       (8) furthermore, the President should develop a broad plan 
     of technology procurement to identify and evaluate all unique 
     hardware, technologies, and services available to the United 
     States from the former Soviet republics' design bureaus, 
     scientific production associations, and research institutes;
       (9) at a minimum, the National Aeronautics and Space 
     Administration should give careful attention to determining 
     which of the technologies it has identified as high priority 
     in its Space Research and Technology Integrated Technology 
     Plan can be obtained from former Soviet sources and initiate 
     steps to expeditiously acquire them;
       (10) the process of acquiring and integrating former Soviet 
     hardware, technology, and services by the United States can 
     be expedited and enhanced by private sector involvement in 
     identifying, evaluating, acquiring, and integrating such 
     hardware, technology, and services for profitable use;
       (11) the importance of United States private sector 
     involvement in this activity cannot be overemphasized in 
     order to create new American jobs, and to ensure that 
     proceeds from acquisitions are reinvested by the seller in 
     nonmilitary, profit-oriented applications for the commercial 
     market;
       (12) United States private sector partnerships and joint 
     venture agreements with former Soviet design bureaus, 
     scientific production associations, and research institutes 
     should be encouraged wherever possible to conduct technology 
     acquisition and integration; and
       (13) in the course of pursuing trade opportunities with the 
     former Soviet republics, the United States shall give due 
     consideration to the effect of its actions on United States 
     industry and technology programs.

     SEC. 315. USE OF DOMESTIC PRODUCTS.

       (a) Compliance With Buy American Act.--(1) Except as 
     provided in paragraph (2), the head of each agency which 
     conducts procurements shall ensure that such procurements are 
     conducted in compliance with sections 2 through 4 of the Act 
     of March 3, 1933 (41 U.S.C. 10a through 10c, popularly known 
     as the ``Buy American Act'').
       (2) This subsection shall apply only to procurements made 
     for which--
       (A) amounts are authorized by this Act to be made 
     available; and

     to the Congress on procurements covered under this subsection 
     of products that are not domestic products.
       (b) Definitions.--For the purposes of this section, the 
     term ``domestic product'' means a product--
       (1) that is manufactured or produced in the United States; 
     and
       (2) at least 50 percent of the cost of the articles, 
     materials, or supplies of which are mined, produced, or 
     manufactured in the United States.

     SEC. 316. USE OF ABANDONED AND UNDERUTILIZED BUILDINGS, 
                   GROUNDS, AND FACILITIES.

       (a) General Rule.--In meeting the needs of the National 
     Aeronautics and Space Administration for additional 
     facilities, the Administrator shall investigate the use of 
     abandoned and underutilized buildings, grounds, and 
     facilities in depressed communities that can be converted to 
     National Aeronautics and Space Administration facilities and 
     shall prioritize such uses where cost effective, as 
     determined by the Administrator.
       (b) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term 
     ``depressed communities'' means rural and urban communities 
     that are relatively depressed, in terms of age of housing, 
     extent of poverty, growth of per capita income, extent of 
     unemployment, job lag, or surplus labor.

     SEC. 317. LIMITATION ON APPROPRIATIONS.

       Appropriations for activities with respect to which 
     specific amounts are authorized under this Act may not be 
     made to the extent such appropriations provide for 
     allocations of amounts not explicitly provided for in this 
     Act.

     SEC. 318. STUDY OF USES OF TECHNICAL INFORMATION.

       The National Aeronautics and Space Administration shall 
     undertake a study of the extent to which information 
     developed by the Administration, by itself or in cooperation 
     with industry, academic or other government partners or 
     contractors, is brought to market by foreign aerospace firms 
     or their subcontractors more quickly than by United States 
     companies. NASA shall report the results of such study to the 
     Congress no later than October 1, 1992.
  TITLE IV--HIGH RISK RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION

     SEC. 401. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) some leading edge research and development projects 
     which are in the public interest to conduct have a 
     significant chance of not achieving their desired goals due 
     to the inherent risks in the nature of the research and 
     development project being attempted;
       (2) Federal Governmentwide procurement regulations require, 
     in such high risk research and development projects, that the 
     National Aeronautics and Space Administration reimburse the 
     contractor for the costs of correcting or replacing articles 
     even when the articles are defective in materials and 
     workmanship, or otherwise fail to conform to the contract 
     requirements, and where the defect or failure has been within 
     the control of the contractor;
       (3) the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's 
     procurement policies are based on the reasonable assumption 
     that contractors would not conduct some desirable high-risk 
     research and development projects unless the National 
     Aeronautics and Space Administration assumes the risk for the 
     failure of the research and development project;
       (4) such procurement policies are further based on the 
     assumption that it is significantly less expensive for the 
     National Aeronautics and Space Administration to assume the 
     risk of failure of high-risk research and development 
     projects than to require the contractors to assume such 
     risks;
       (5) such procurement policies should be limited to use in 
     true leading edge research and development contracts, where 
     successful results are uncertain at the outset and should not 
     apply to those aspects of such contracts where defects in 
     materials and workmanship, or other failures to conform to 
     contract requirements, were within the control of the 
     contractor;
       (6) a shared allocation of risk based on a competitive 
     procurement process for research and development contracts 
     may result in an overall cost savings to the National 
     Aeronautics and Space Administration; and
       (7) it would be beneficial to reexamine the effect of the 
     National Aeronautics and Space Administration's procurement 
     policies on the cost of conducting its research and 
     development projects.

     SEC. 402. ACQUISITION POLICY ASSESSMENT.

       (a) Assessment.--Within one hundred and eighty days after 
     the date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator, in 
     coordination as necessary with the Office of Federal 
     Procurement Policy and the Federal Acquisition Regulation 
     Council, shall carry out an assessment of the allocation of 
     risk between the Government and its contractors for future 
     research and development contracts in order to identify 
     options for increasing the contractor's allocation of risk 
     for defects in materials and workmanship or other failures to 
     conform to contract requirements. The National Aeronautics 
     and Space Administration is encouraged to test those options 
     identified.

[[Page 682]]

       (b) Contents.--In carrying out the assessment in subsection 
     (a), the Administrator shall consider--
       (1) technical uncertainty, market dynamics, and equity to 
     both the Government and the contractor community;
       (2) the use of positive fee incentives reflecting the level 
     of cost, schedule, and performance risk accepted by the 
     contractor;
       (3) the use of negative fee incentives, including 
     provisions providing for less than full cost recovery for 
     work determined to be defective in materials or workmanship 
     or which otherwise fail to conform to contract requirements;
       (4) the appropriate use of rollovers;
       (5) the appropriate use of retroactive award fee 
     adjustments;
       (6) the appropriate use of value engineering;
       (7) the use of warranties to ensure that the end product or 
     a specified subproduct of a contract meets the performance 
     requirements of a contract; and
       (8) the recovery of costs for the replacement or correction 
     of articles which are defective in materials or workmanship, 
     or which otherwise fail to conform to contract requirements.

     SEC. 403. PROMULGATION OF REGULATIONS.

       Within twelve months after the date of enactment of this 
     Act, the Administrator, in coordination as necessary with the 
     Office of Federal Procurement Policy and the Federal 
     Acquisition Regulation Council, shall develop regulations for 
     the administration of research and development contracts 
     which propose specific changes to National Aeronautics and 
     Space Administration Procurement Regulations and, as 
     necessary, Federal Acquisition Regulations, in the form of 
     mandatory and optional clauses which--
       (1) establish policies and procedures for the use of 
     performance-based contracts, incorporating positive and/or 
     negative fee incentives to the maximum extent practicable; 
     and
       (2) establish policies and procedures--
       (A) for limiting the use of clauses of the Federal 
     Acquisition Regulations which otherwise obligate the 
     Government to pay for the cost of correction of defects in 
     materials and workmanship and work which otherwise fails to 
     conform to contract requirements, and eliminating the use of 
     such clauses where the defect or failure is within the 
     control of the contractor; and
       (B) to provide for less than full cost recovery for work 
     determined to be defective in materials and workmanship or 
     which otherwise fails to conform to contract requirements.

     SEC. 404. REPORT.

       Within one hundred and eighty days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall report to the 
     Committee on Science, Space, and Technology of the House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, Science, and 
     Transportation of the Senate the progress in implementing 
     this title.

     SEC. 405. DEFINITIONS.

       For the purpose of this title--
       (1) the term ``performance-based contracting'' means 
     structuring all aspects of an acquisition around the purpose 
     of the work to be performed as opposed to either the manner 
     by which the work is to be performed or broad statements of 
     work;
       (2) the term ``positive fee incentive'' means that element 
     of the potential total remuneration that a contractor may 
     receive for contract performance over and above the allowable 
     costs;
       (3) the term ``negative fee incentive'' means a rebate 
     payable to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration 
     by a contracting party whose deliverable item or service is 
     not in conformance with contract requirements or otherwise 
     deemed to be defective work; and
       (4) the term ``rollover'' means the act of reallocating any 
     positive fee incentives not earned by a contractor due to 
     less than excellent performance to subsequent opportunities 
     for award available in the contract.

Para. 49.15  providing for the consideration of h.r. 2039

  Mr. DERRICK, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 444):

       Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this 
     resolution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule 
     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the State of the Union for the further 
     consideration of the bill (H.R. 2039) to authorize 
     appropriations for the Legal Services Corporation, and for 
     other purposes. An additional period of general debate, which 
     shall be confined to the bill and which shall not exceed 
     thirty minutes, to be equally divided and controlled by the 
     chairman and ranking minority member of the Judiciary, shall 
     be in order. Following the additional period of general 
     debate, the bill shall be considered for amendment under the 
     five-minute rule. It shall be in order to consider the 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the 
     Committee on the Judiciary now printed in the bill as an 
     original bill for the purpose of amendment under the five-
     minute rule and said substitute shall be considered as having 
     been read. No amendment to said substitute shall be in order 
     except the amendments printed in the report of the Committee 
     on Rules accompanying this resolution. Said amendments shall 
     be considered in the order and manner specified in the report 
     and shall be considered as having been read. Said amendments 
     shall be debatable for the period specified in the report, 
     equally divided and controlled by the proponent and a member 
     opposed thereto. Said amendments shall not be subject to 
     amendment except as specified in the report of the Committee 
     on Rules. It shall be in order at any time for the chairman 
     of the Committee on the Judiciary to offer amendments en bloc 
     consisting of amendments, and modifications in the text of 
     any amendments which are germane thereto, printed in the 
     report of the Committee on Rules. Such amendments en bloc 
     shall be considered as having been read and shall be 
     debatable for not to exceed twenty minutes, equally divided 
     and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of 
     the Committee on the Judiciary. The original proponents of 
     the amendments en bloc shall have permission to insert 
     statements in the Congressional Record immediately before 
     disposition of the amendments en bloc. Such amendments en 
     bloc shall not be subject to amendment, or to a demand for a 
     division of the question in the House or in the Committee of 
     the Whole. At the conclusion of consideration of the bill for 
     amendment, the Committee shall rise and report the bill to 
     the House with such amendments as may have been adopted, and 
     any Member may demand a separate vote in the House or any 
     amendment adopted in the Committee of the Whole to the bill 
     or to the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute. 
     The previous question shall be considered as having been 
     ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to final passage 
     without intervening motion except one motion to recommit with 
     or without instructions. 

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. DERRICK, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to said resolution?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mrs. UNSOELD, announced that the yeas had it.

present and not voting.

  So the amendment, as modified, was agreed to.
  After some further time,

Para. 49.23  recorded vote

  A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of 
the Whole on the following amendment submitted by Mr. McCOLLUM:

       Strike section 16 (page 34, line 7, through page 36, line 
     2) and insert the following:

     SEC. 16. PHASED IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPETITION; DISTRIBUTION 
                   OF GRANTS AND CONTRACTS.

       Section 1007 (42 U.S.C. 2996f) is amended by adding at the 
     end the following:
       ``(m)(1)(A) Ten percent of all grants and contracts awarded 
     by the Corporation for the provision or support of legal 
     assistance to eligible clients under this title shall be 
     awarded under a competitive bidding system developed by the 
     Corporation to test the use of competition in providing 
     effective and efficient legal services of high quality. This 
     competitive system shall--
       ``(i) ensure access to high-quality, economical, and 
     effective legal services for eligible clients, consistent 
     with section 1001,
       ``(ii) minimize disruption of client services, and
       ``(iii) ensure that every recipient or other grantee or 
     contractor seeking a grant or contract through this 
     competitive bidding process complies with all provisions of 
     this title and the applicable rules, regulations, guidelines, 
     and instructions issued under this title.
       ``(B) The competitive bidding system developed under 
     subparagraph (A) shall be implemented in fiscal years 1993 
     and 1994.
       ``(C) The Corporation shall, not later than 18 months after 
     implementation of the competitive bidding system under 
     subparagraph (A), report to the Congress on the effectiveness 
     of the system.
       ``(D) If at the end of fiscal year 1994 the Corporation 
     determines that the competitive bidding system has met the 
     requirements of subparagraph (A), the Corporation shall so 
     notify the Congress and shall proceed to phase in, during the 
     next 3 fiscal years, the implementation, for all grants and 
     contracts awarded by the Corporation, of a competitive 
     bidding system that meets the requirements of subparagraph 
     (A).
       ``(2) Rights under sections 1007(a)(9) and 1006(b)(5) shall 
     not apply to the termination or denial of financial 
     resistance under this title as a result of the competitive 
     award of any grant or contract under paragraph (1), and the 
     expiration of any grant or contract under this title as a 
     result of such competitive award shall not be treated as a 
     termination or denial of refunding under section 1007(a)(9) 
     or 1006(b)(5).
       ``(n)(1) Funds appropriated to the Corporation shall be 
     distributed to each grantee or contractor on a per capita 
     basis pursuant to the number of poor people determined by the 
     Bureau of the Census to be within its geographical area, in 
     accordance with paragraphs (2) and (3).
       ``(2) The amount of the grants from the Corporation and of 
     the contracts entered into by the Corporation under section 
     1006(a)(1) shall be an equal figure per poor person for all 
     geographic areas, based on the most recent decennial census 
     of population conducted pursuant to section 141 of title 13, 
     United States Code, regardless of the level of funding for 
     any geographic area before the enactment of the Legal 
     Services Reauthorization Act of 1991.
       ``(3) Beginning with the fiscal year beginning after the 
     results of the most recent decennial census have been 
     reported to the President under section 141(b) of title 13, 
     United States Code, funding of geographic areas served by 
     recipients shall be redetermined, in accordance with 
     paragraph (2), based on the per capita poverty population in 
     each such geographic area under that decennial census.''.

       ``(iii) Not later than 30 days after receiving a written 
     request alleging that a recipient, other grantee, or 
     contractor has violated the provisions of this title, or any 
     rule, regulation, guideline, or instruction issued under this 
     title, or any other law, the Corporation may initiate an

     investigation, provided with a reasonable opportunity to 
     respond to the allegations either in writing or in person, as 
     determined by the Corporation. Unless required by law, the 
     Corporation shall not make the findings of its investigation 
     public until a final report is issued or unless such

       ``(c)(1) Any non-Federal funds received by the Corporation, 
     and any funds received by any recipient from any source other 
     than the Corporation, shall be accounted for and reported as 
     receipts and disbursements separate and distinct from 
     Corporation funds. Any funds so received, including funds 
     derived from Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts (IOLTA), may 
     not be expended by recipients for any purpose prohibited by 
     this title or the Legal Services Reauthorization Act of 1991. 
     The Corporation shall not accept any non-Federal funds, and 
     any recipient shall not accept funds from any source other 
     than the Corporation, unless the Corporation or the 
     recipient, as the case may be, notifies in writing the source 
     of such funds that the funds may not be expended for any 
     purpose prohibited by this title or the Legal Services 
     Reauthorization Act of 1991.
       ``(2) Paragraph (1) shall not prevent recipients from--
       ``(A) receiving Indian tribal funds (including funds from 
     private nonprofit organizations for the benefit of Indians or 
     Indian tribes) and expending them in accordance with the 
     specific purposes for which they are provided; or
       ``(B) using funds received from a source other than the 
     Corporation to provide legal assistance to a client who is 
     not an eligible client if such funds are used for the 
     specific purposes for which such funds were received, except 
     that such funds may not be expended by recipients for any 
     purpose prohibited by this title or the Legal Services 
     Reauthorization Act of 1991 (other than any requirement 
     regarding the eligibility of clients).''.

Para. 50.6  providing for the consideration of h.r. 4990

  Mr. DERRICK, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 447):

       Resolved, That at any time after adoption of this 
     resolution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule 
     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the State of the Union for consideration of 
     the bill (H.R. 4990) rescinding certain budget authority, and 
     for other purposes, and the first reading of the bill shall 
     be dispensed with. All points of order against the bill and 
     against its consideration are hereby waived. After general 
     debate, which shall be confined to the bill and which shall 
     not exceed one hour, to be equally divided and controlled by 
     the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
     Appropriations, the bill shall be considered as having been 
     read for amendment under the five-minute rule. The amendment 
     printed in part 1 of the report of the Committee on Rules 
     accompanying this resolution shall be considered as having 
     been adopted. No amendment to the bill shall be in order 
     except the amendments printed in part 2 of the report of the 
     Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. Said 
     amendments shall be considered in the order and manner 
     specified in the report of the Committee on Rules, and shall 
     be considered as having been read. Each shall be debatable 
     for not to exceed thirty minutes, equally divided and 
     controlled by the proponent and a member opposed thereto. 
     Said amendments shall not be subject to amendment. All points 
     of order against the amendments printed in the report of the 
     Committee on Rules are hereby waived. If both amendments in 
     part 2 of the report of the Committee on Rules are adopted, 
     only the latter amendment which is adopted shall be 
     considered as finally adopted and reported back to the House. 
     At the conclusion of the consideration of the bill for 
     amendment, the Committee shall rise and report the bill to 
     the House with such amendments as may have been adopted, and 
     the previous question shall be considered as ordered on the 
     bill and amendments thereto to final passage without 
     intervening motion except one motion to recommit which shall 
     not contain instructions.
       Sec. 2. The provisions of section 1017 of the Impoundment 
     Control Act of 1974 shall not apply to a bill or joint 
     resolution introduced with respect to any special message 
     transmitted under section 1012 of that Act on March 10, 1992, 
     March 20, 1992, or April 8, 1992.

  Pending consideration of said resolution,

Para. 50.7  point of order

  Mr. SOLOMON made a point of order against the resolution, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, House Resolution 447 provides in the last sentence of 
section 1:

     and the previous question shall be considered as ordered on 
     the bill and amendments thereto to final passage without 
     intervening motion except one motion to recommit which----

  ``And this is the point I wish to make--

     which shall not contain instructions.

  ``Mr. Speaker, the language prohibiting any instructions in the motion 
to recommit clearly violates clause 4(b) of House rule XI which 
prohibits the Rules Committee from reporting ``any rule or order which 
would prevent the motion to recommit from being made as provided in 
clause 4 of rule XVI'' of the rules that we live under in this House.
  ``And clause 4 of rule XVI provides at the relevant part that--

       After the previous question shall have been ordered on the 
     passage of a bill or joint resolution one motion to recommit 
     shall be in order, and the Speaker--you--shall give 
     preference in recognition for such purpose to a Member who is 
     opposed to the bill or joint resolution.

  ``Mr. Speaker, I will not take your time or the time of this House to 
recount the detailed history of these two rules and the precedents 
behind them. I have previously given that to you and to the Members of 
this House in the form of a 48-page, documented historical report, which 
you have, so I will not bother repeating it.
  ``Suffice to say, prior to 1909, the House already had a motion to 
recommit, with or without instructions, contained in at that time rule 
XVII. Clauses 4 of rule XI and XVI were added to the rules by a minority 
party member, a Democrat from New York, my State, to give the minority a 
right to get a last vote on its proposition through recommittal 
instructions.
  ``That is clear from the author of that amendment to the rules and 
numerous Speakers upholding that right in the following years.
  ``The key phrase in clause 4(b) of rule XI is `as provided in clause 4 
of rule XVI,' since what was being provided for in that new rule was the 
right of the minority to offer a final amendment in the form of 
instructions.
  ``If the Speaker will consider logic alone, for the majority to 
dictate in a rule such as this what form the motion to recommit should 
take--in this case only a straight motion to recommit--is to truly deny 
the opponent of the bill recognized under the rule, a motion of his or 
her choosing. This now becomes a majority motion, and not a minority 
motion.
  ``And that is what is happening here today.
  ``When I previously raised similar points of order, the Chair has 
referred to a 1934 ruling of Speaker Rainey that the Rules Committee 
need only allow for a straight motion to recommit to satisfy that rule.
  ``And as I previously argued, Mr. Speaker, and argue again today, that 
ruling, and all subsequent rulings of this and previous Speakers which 
relied on it, were wrongly decided.
  ``And any logical person would come to that conclusion.
  ``To limit the minority to a straight motion to recommit, to deny it 
the original intent of the rule, guts that right and nullifies the 
original intent of the rule. There is no longer a need for two motions 
to recommit under our rules.
  ``It was my understanding that the Speaker was at least willing to 
consider that ruling and had agreed to have the Rules Committee--that I 
serve on--look into the matter further. Ironically, that long-promised 
hearing was held just yesterday, the very same day that this rule, this 
unfair rule depriving the minority, was reported. The Rules Committee 
has not yet issued a final report on its study, and yet here we are 
again today being denied our traditional right to offer instructions. 
We are being disenfranchised.
  ``Mr. Speaker, instead of quoting Speaker Gillett or any number of 
other Speakers who have upheld our rights, or your rights if you were 
in the minority, to offer instructions in the past, let me close by 
quoting to you from Thomas Jefferson in his Manual, which is still a 
part of our rules. He said: `So far the maxim is certainly true and is 
founded in good sense, that as it is always in the power of the 
majority, by their numbers, to stop any improper measures proposed on 
the part of their opponents, the only weapons, the only weapon by which 
the minority can defend themselves against similar attempts from those 
in power are the forms and rules of proceedings which have been adopted 
as they were found necessary from time to time, and are become the law 
of the House,' the law of the House, `by a strict adherence to which 
the weaker party can only be protected from those irregularities and 
abuses,' and I will repeat those words, `be protected from those 
irregularities and abuses which these forms were intended to check,' 
and have been intended to check for over 200 years in this House, `and 
which the wantonness of power is but too often apt to suggest to large 
and successful majorities,' which you have the privilege of having 101 
more Members than we have on this side.

  ``Mr. Speaker, the rule before us strips the minority of all of its 
rights and does not allow us to offer even one amendment which we had 
requested--not in the Committee of the Whole and not in the motion to 
recommit. This is exactly the kind of example against which Jefferson 
warned us in which the minority has been stripped of the only weapon 
and protections we have to defend against attempts by those in power, 
and I will repeat again, `irregularities and abuses,' which in recent 
years seems to be the norm around here and is one of the reasons I am 
ashamed to say that this House is held in such low esteem by the 
American people. Ten percent approval or something like that in the 
latest polls.
  ``If you take away this last ounce of protection that the minority 
has under

[[Page 699]]

our rules to offer even one amendment, even one amendment through the 
motion to recommit, you have rendered us helpless and you have rendered 
the value of any rules in this House absolutely meaningless.
  ``Now, Mr. Speaker, you are the Speaker of this House, you represent 
the majority, and as you should because you are a Member of that party, 
but you also have an obligation, a constitutional obligation, to 
represent the minority as well, and I strongly urge you to take a 
courageous step, Mr. Speaker--we have great respect for you--and to 
rule in our favor under this point of order. It means a lot to the 
American people, and it certainly means a lot to minority interests 
around this country.''.

  Mr. DERRICK was recognized to speak to the point of order, and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from New York makes the point of order 
that the rule limits the motion to recommit and, therefore, according to 
the minority, the rule violates clause 4(b) of rule XI.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I respectfully disagree. Rule XI prohibits the Rules 
Committee from reporting a rule that: `Would prevent the motion to 
recommit from being made as provided in clause 4 of rule XVI.'
  ``Clause 4 of rule XVI addresses the simple motion to recommit a bill 
or joint resolution and requires the Speaker to give preference in 
recognition to a Member of the minority who is opposed to the measure. 
Nowhere are instructions mentioned.
  ``The Rules Committee, therefore, may report a rule that limits but 
does not prohibit the motion to recommit--without violating clause 4(b) 
of rule XI.
  ``Mr. Speaker, so long as a simple motion to recommit can be offered, 
a rule does not `prevent the motion to recommit from being made as 
provided in clause 4 of rule XVI.' This is a well-established 
parliamentary point since Speaker Rainey's decision in 1934.
  ``In fact, Mr. Speaker, the parliamentary point was reaffirmed by 
recent rulings of the Chair on October 16, 1990, on June 4, 1991, on 
November 25, 1991, and on February 26, 1992. On those occasions certain 
Members sought to appeal the ruling of the Chair. The House then voted, 
on each occasion, to sustain the ruling by tabling the appeal. The House 
thereby strengthened the precedents in this interpretation of the rule.
  ``Without an intervening change in the rule, there can be no question 
of the interpretation. Mr. Speaker, the precedents are clear and 
unequivocal. Moreover, the House has spoken on several recent occasions 
to reaffirm this position. I urge the point of order be overruled.''.

  The SPEAKER overruled the point of order, and said:

  ``The Chair is ready to rule.
  ``The Chair notes that the gentleman from New York has pointed out 
that there have been repeated objections to rules which have not 
contained, as a matter of right, a motion to recommit with instructions, 
that the matter has been undertaken for review by the Committee on 
Rules, that a hearing has been held but a final study or report from the 
Committee on Rules has not yet been concluded.
  ``Because of the pendency of such a review, but because of the lack of 
any other conclusion thereon which might recommend against the existing 
line of precedents, the Chair is constrained to rule, as he has ruled 
before, that under the precedents of October 16, 1990, and February 26, 
1992, both of which the gentleman correctly points out stem from a 
precedent of January 11, 1934, by Speaker Rainey, the Chair is 
constrained to overrule the point of order.''.

  Mr. SOLOMON appealed the ruling of the Chair.
  Mr. DERRICK moved to lay the appeal on the table.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House lay on the table the appeal of the ruling of the Chair?
  The SPEAKER announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. SOLOMON objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken by 
electronic device.

     propaganda, intended or designed--
       ``(A) to influence any decision by a Federal, State, or 
     local agency, except when legal assistance is provided by an 
     employee of a recipient or other grantee or contractor of the

     or contractor, or the Corporation or pertaining to oversight 
     measures directly affecting the recipient, grantee, or 
     contractor, or the Corporation, if the project director or 
     designee of the recipient, grantee, or contractor has

     SEC. 6. ENFORCEMENT, SANCTIONS, AND MONITORING.

       (a) Enforcement.--Section 1006(b)(1)(A) (42 U.S.C. 
     2996e(b)(1)(A)) is amended to read as follows:
       ``(b)(1)(A)(i) The Corporation shall have the authority to 
     ensure the compliance of recipients, other grantees and 
     contractors of the Corporation, and their respective 
     employees with the provisions of this title. The Corporation 
     may issue rules, regulations, guidelines, and instructions to 
     interpret the provisions of this title, but may not impose, 
     by regulation or otherwise, restrictions or limitations on 
     types of cases or forms of representation of clients unless 
     such restrictions or limitations are explicitly authorized by 
     this title or other applicable law, and may not impose, by 
     regulation or otherwise, restrictions or requirements on such 
     recipients, grantees, or contractors that are in addition to 
     or inconsistent with the provisions of this title and other 
     applicable law.
       ``(ii) The Corporation shall have the authority to enforce 
     the rules, regulations, guidelines, and instructions issued 
     under this title, and to terminate, in accordance with the 
     standards described in paragraph (5) of this subsection, 
     financial support to a recipient or other grantee or 
     contractor of the Corporation. Pursuant to regulations 
     adopted by the Corporation under section 1008(e), the 
     Corporation shall--
       ``(I) arrange for independent evaluations to determine 
     whether recipients and other grantees and contractors of the 
     Corporation are providing comprehensive, economical, and 
     effective legal assistance of high quality to eligible 
     clients, and
       ``(II) conduct reasonable monitoring and investigations 
     into allegations that a recipient or other grantee or 
     contractor has violated this title, the rules, regulations, 
     guidelines, or instructions issued under this title, or other 
     laws.
       ``(iii) Not later than 30 days after receiving a written 
     request alleging that a recipient, other grantee, or 
     contractor has violated the provisions of this title, or any 
     rule, regulation, guideline, or instruction issued under this 
     title, or any other law, the Corporation may initiate an 
     investigation. A recipient, grantee, or contractor that is 
     the subject of such investigation shall be notified by the 
     Corporation and, prior to the completion of the 
     investigation, provided with a reasonable opportunity to 
     respond to the allegations either in writing or in person, as 
     determined by the Corporation. Unless required by law, the 
     Corporation shall not make the findings of its investigation 
     public until a final report is issued or unless such 
     disclosure is made with the consent of such recipient, 
     grantee, or contractor. If, at the conclusion of the 
     investigation, the Corporation determines that it will take 
     action under paragraph (5) of this subsection, it shall 
     notify the recipient, grantee, or contractor of its right to 
     request a hearing. A hearing must be requested not later than 
     30 days after receiving the notification.''.
       (b) Regulations for Enforcement.--Section 1006(b)(5) (42 
     U.S.C. 2996e(b)(5)) is amended to read as follows:
       ``(5)(A) The Board shall issue regulations to provide for 
     the enforcement of this title. Such regulations may include, 
     among available remedies, provisions for the immediate 
     suspension of financial assistance under this title, 
     suspension or termination of an employee of the Corporation, 
     or of any employee of a recipient or other grantee or 
     contractor by such recipient, grantee, or contractor, the 
     reduction or termination of such financial assistance or 
     employment, and denial of an application for refunding. Any 
     such employee may be terminated only after consideration of 
     other remedial measures and only after the employee has been 
     afforded reasonable notice and opportunity for a timely, 
     full, and fair hearing. When requested, such hearing shall be 
     conducted by an independent hearing examiner. The Corporation 
     may suspend, reduce, or terminate financial assistance under 
     this title, or deny an application for refunding under this 
     title--
       ``(i) when there has been a substantial failure to comply 
     with the provisions of this title, or rules, regulations, 
     guidelines, or instructions issued under this title, or of 
     other laws, and after notice and an opportunity to correct 
     such failure has been provided to the recipient, grantee, or 
     contractor involved; or
       ``(ii) when independent evaluations demonstrate that a 
     recipient or other grantee or contractor has consistently 
     failed to use its resources to provide economical and 
     effective legal assistance of high quality as measured by 
     generally accepted professional standards, and after notice 
     and an opportunity to correct such failure has been provided 
     to such recipient, grantee, or contractor.
     The Corporation may deny an application for refunding of a 
     recipient or other grantee or contractor when the Corporation 
     has identified an applicant for financial assistance under 
     this title that is better able to provide high quality, 
     comprehensive, economical, and effective legal assistance for 
     the geographic area served by such recipient, grantee, or 
     contractor, consistent with the provisions of sections 
     1007(a)(2) and 1007(c) of this title.
       ``(B) Financial assistance under this title may not be 
     terminated or suspended, an application for refunding under 
     this title may not be denied, and the annual level of 
     financial assistance under this title may not be reduced by 
     more than 5 percent or $20,000, whichever is less, unless the 
     recipient or other grantee or contractor involved has been 
     afforded reasonable notice and, at the request of the 
     recipient, grantee, or contractor, a timely and fair hearing 
     before an independent hearing examiner pursuant to 
     regulations issued by the Corporation. Such regulations shall 
     provide for commencement of the hearing before an independent 
     hearing examiner at the earliest appropriate date, but in no 
     case more than 45 days after a request for such a hearing is 
     received. As soon as practical after the hearing, but in no 
     case more than 60 days after its conclusion, the independent 
     hearing examiner shall make a recommended decision on the 
     matter involved. A copy of the recommended decision shall be 
     sent to the Corporation and the recipient, grantee, or 
     contractor involved. If neither the Corporation nor the 
     recipient, grantee, or contractor involved requests review by 
     the president of the Corporation of that recommended decision 
     within 10 days after the date the recipient, grantee, or 
     contractor receives a copy of the decision, that decision 
     shall become final. Within 30 days after receipt of a request 
     for a review of a recommended decision, the president of the 
     Corporation shall make a final decision with respect to that 
     recommended decision. In addition to other remedies provided 
     by law, the recipient, grantee, or contractor may appeal the 
     final decision to the Board.''.
       (c) Monitoring and Independent Evaluations of Programs.--
     Section 1007(d) (42 U.S.C. 2996f(d)) is amended to read as 
     follows:
       ``(d)(1) The Corporation shall monitor recipients and other 
     grantees and contractors of the Corporation in order to 
     ensure that the provisions of this title, the rules, 
     regulations, guidelines, and instructions issued under this 
     title, and other laws are carried out by such recipients, 
     grantees, and contractors, and shall provide for independent 
     evaluations to determine whether such recipients, grantees, 
     and contractors are providing economical and effective legal 
     assistance of high quality to eligible clients. The 
     Corporation shall adopt standards and procedures to implement 
     the provisions of section 1006(b)(1)(A) and this subsection 
     as regulations under section 1008(e).
       ``(2) The standards and procedures adopted under paragraph 
     (1) shall take into account--
        ``(A) that the responsibility of the Corporation with 
     regard to monitoring and evaluation is to ensure compliance 
     with this title, the rules, regulations, guidelines, and 
     instructions issued under this title, and any other laws and 
     to provide for independent evaluations to assess the extent 
     to which the overall delivery of legal assistance by a 
     recipient or other grantee or contractor is economical, 
     effective, and of high quality and not to manage the day-to-
     day operations of recipients and other grantees and 
     contractors;
       ``(B) that each recipient or other grantee or contractor 
     has the responsibility to manage its day-to-day operations 
     and to assure that its employees comply with all applicable 
     law and deliver high quality legal assistance in an effective 
     and economical manner;
       ``(C) that the personal privacy of eligible clients could 
     be adversely affected by the public disclosure of records or 
     documents obtained in connection with monitoring under 
     paragraph (1) or an investigation pursuant to section 
     1006(b)(1)(A); and
       ``(D) the rules of ethics and professional responsibility 
     that are applicable in the jurisdiction where a recipient or 
     other grantee or contractor delivers legal assistance.
     The Corporation may not require disclosure of records 
     described in subparagraph (C) except to the extent such 
     records can be expected to contain information directly 
     pertinent and necessary to an audit, or to an investigation 
     of a likely pattern of discrimination, lack of compliance 
     with the law, or poor performance by a recipient or other 
     grantee or contractor which is indicated by other external 
     evidence.
       ``(3) The Corporation shall ensure that the monitoring 
     process is fair and conducted in a manner that does not cause 
     more than necessary disruption to the provision of legal 
     services provided by the recipient or other grantee or 
     contractor being monitored, and provides--
       ``(A) sufficient notice before monitoring is conducted;
       ``(B) flexibility to negotiate with the Corporation when 
     disagreements arise over the timing and conduct of 
     monitoring;
       ``(C) reasonable opportunity to respond and comment on 
     draft reports on monitoring;
       ``(D) protection from disclosure to third parties of the 
     results of monitoring and the contents of any draft reports 
     on monitoring before a final report on the monitoring is 
     issued; and
       ``(E) protection from disclosure to third parties of any 
     documents obtained during monitoring except to the extent 
     necessary to carry out the monitoring, consistent with the 
     laws and the rules of ethics and professional responsibility 
     applicable to the jurisdiction where such documents are 
     maintained, except that the Corporation shall at all times 
     have the authority to make evi-

[[Page 711]]

     dence of criminal conduct available to the appropriate legal 
     authority.
     The Corporation shall ensure that the monitoring process is 
     reasonably related to the purposes which the monitoring is 
     intended to accomplish.
       ``(4) The Corporation, in cooperation with recipients and 
     other appropriate groups, shall develop criteria for 
     evaluating the capability and performance of recipients and 
     other grantees and contractors of the Corporation. Such 
     criteria shall provide for the assessment of--
       ``(A) the degree to which any such recipient, grantee, or 
     contractor provides a comprehensive range of legal assistance 
     to eligible clients, including, in the case of support 
     entities, a comprehensive range of appropriate support 
     services;
       ``(B) the past demonstrated record of any such recipient, 
     grantee, or contractor in providing effective, economical, 
     and high quality legal services to poor individuals and in 
     developing additional resources, including pro bono services 
     from the private bar;
       ``(C) the ability of any such recipient, grantee, or 
     contractor to determine and address the needs of eligible 
     clients for particular services, including, in the case of 
     support entities, the range of support services needed in the 
     geographical or subject matter area served;
       ``(D) the adherence by any such recipient, grantee, or 
     contractor to accepted norms of performance to guide the 
     provision of legal assistance to poor individuals; and
       ``(E) the adherence by any such recipient, grantee, or 
     contractor to applicable rules of professional responsibility 
     for attorneys providing legal assistance to poor individuals.
       ``(5) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this 
     subsection, the Inspector General of the Corporation shall 
     not, in carrying out his or her functions, be subject to any 
     restriction that--
       ``(A) is contained in the standards and procedures adopted 
     by the Corporation under this subsection; and
       ``(B) limits access by the Corporation to documents or 
     other information.''.
       (d) Technical Amendments.--
       (1) Section 1006(b) (42 U.S.C. 2996e(b)) is amended by 
     adding at the end the following:
       ``(7) The Corporation shall ensure that--
       ``(A) no employee of the Corporation or of any recipient or 
     other grantee or contractor of the Corporation (except as 
     permitted by law in connection with such employee's own 
     employment situation), while carrying out legal assistance 
     activities supported under this title, engages in, or 
     encourages others to engage in, any public demonstration or 
     picketing, boycott, or strike; and
       ``(B) no such employee, at any time, engages in, or 
     encourages others to engage in--
       ``(i) any rioting or civil disturbance,
       ``(ii) any activity which is in violation of an outstanding 
     injunction of any court of competent jurisdiction,
       ``(iii) any other illegal activity, or
       ``(iv) any intentional identification of the Corporation or 
     any recipient or other grantee or contractor of the 
     Corporation with any political activity prohibited by section 
     1007(a)(6).''.
       (2) Section 1006(b)(2) (42 U.S.C. 2996e(b)(2)) is amended 
     by striking ``provisions of section 1011'' and inserting 
     ``regulations issued under paragraph (5) of this 
     subsection''.

     agreement which enumerates the particular facts on which the 
     claim or controversy is

[[Page 713]]

     initially based has been signed by the plaintiffs (including 
     named plaintiffs in a class action). Such retainer agreement

     employee of such recipient, grantee, or contractor may file a 
     complaint or petition in a court until all plaintiffs known 
     to plaintiff's counsel at the time have been specifically 
     identified in the complaint or petition.''.

     organized bar, and eligible clients, who are selected by 
     appropriate representatives of these groups.
       ``(2) The study under paragraph (1) shall examine how a

     high-quality, economical, and effective legal services to 
     resolve problems of clients, consistent with section 1001,
       ``(B) take into account locally determined needs for

     sources other than the Corporation, and other resources if an 
     existing recipient or other grantee or contractor were 
     replaced,

     the purpose of providing legal services to eligible clients; 
     and
       ``(E) ensure that a new recipient or other grantee or

Para. 53.10  public works projects

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, laid before the House a 
communication, which was read as follows:

                                         Committee on Public Works


                                           and Transportation,

                                   Washington, DC, April 30, 1992.
     Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
     Speaker, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: Enclosed are copies of resolutions 
     adopted by the Committee on Public Works and Transportation 
     on April 30, 1992. These resolutions authorize studies of 
     potential water resources projects by the Army Corps of 
     Engineers in accordance with the provisions of section 4 of 
     the Act of March 4, 1913.
           Sincerely,
                                                    Robert A. Roe,
                                                         Chairman.

  By unanimous consent, the communication was referred to the Committee 
on Appropriations.

Para. 53.11  message from the president--youth apprenticeship act

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, laid before the House a message 
from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  I am pleased to transmit herewith for your immediate consideration the 
``National Youth Apprenticeship Act of 1992.'' Also transmitted is a 
section-by-section analysis.
  This legislation would establish a national framework for implementing 
comprehensive youth apprenticeship programs. These programs would be a 
high-quality learning alternative for preparing young people to be 
valuable and productive members of the 21st century work force. Although 
this framework has been designed to be comprehensive and national in 
scope, it is also flexible enough to allow States to customize the model 
to economic, demographic, and other local conditions.
  I am proposing this legislation in order to promote a comprehensive 
approach for helping our youth make the transition from school to the 
workplace and strive to reach high levels of academic achievement. The 
lack of such an approach is one very important reason that a significant 
proportion of American youth do not possess the necessary skills to meet 
employer requirements for entry level positions.
  There is widespread agreement that the time has come to strengthen the 
connection between the academic subjects taught in our schools and the 
demands of the modern, high-technology workplace. Work-based learning 
models have proven to be effective approaches for preparing youth at the 
secondary school level.
  Under my proposal, a student could enter a youth apprenticeship 
program in the 11th or 12th grade. Before reaching these grades, 
students would receive career and academic guidance to prepare them for 
entry into youth apprenticeship programs. Particular programs may end 
with graduation from high school or continue for up to an additional 2 
years of postsecondary education. In addition to the high school 
diploma, all youth apprentices would earn a certificate of competency 
and quality for a postsecondary program, a registered apprenticeship 
program, or employment.
  A youth apprentice would receive academic instruction, job training, 
and work experience. The program is intended to attract and develop 
high-quality, motivated students. Standards of academic achievement, 
consistent with voluntary, national standards, will apply to all 
academic instruction, including the required instruction in the core 
subjects of English, mathematics, science, history, and geography. 
Students also would be expected to demonstrate mastery of job skills.
  My proposal provides for vigorous involvement at the Federal, State, 
and local levels to ensure the success of the program. It also requires 
that employers, schools, students, and parents promise to work together 
to achieve the program goals. Enactment of my proposal will result in 
national standards applicable to all youth apprenticeship programs. 
Thus, upon completion of the program, the youth apprentice will have a 
portable credential that will be recognized wherever the individual may 
go to seek employment or pursue further education and training.
  I believe that the time has come for a national, comprehensive 
approach to work-based learning. The bill I am proposing would 
establish a formal process in which business, labor, and education 
would form partnerships to motivate the Nation's young people to stay 
in school and become productive citizens. It will provide American 
youth the opportunity to gain marketable and portable skills while 
establishing a relationship with a prospective employer.
  I urge the Congress to give swift and favorable consideration to the 
National Youth Apprenticeship Act of 1992.
                                                         George Bush.  
  The White House, May 13, 1992.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Education and Labor and 
ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 102-329).

Para. 53.12  shipbuilding trade reform

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, pursuant to House Resolution 443 
and rule XXIII, declared the House resolved into the Committee of

[[Page 724]]

the Whole House on the state of the Union for the consideration of the 
bill (H.R. 2056) to amend the Tariff Act of 1930 to require that subsidy 
information regarding vessels be provided upon entry within customs 
collection districts and to provide effective trade remedies under the 
countervailing and antidumping duty laws against foreign-built ships 
that are subsidized or dumped.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, by unanimous consent, designated 
Ms. PELOSI as Chairman of the Committee of the Whole; and after some 
time spent therein,
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, assumed the Chair.
  When Ms. PELOSI, Chairman, pursuant to House Resolution 443, reported 
the bill back to the House with an amendment adopted by the Committee.
  The previous question having been ordered by said resolution.
  The following amendment, reported from the Committee of the Whole 
House on the state of the Union, was agreed to:

       Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:
       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled,

TITLE I--FAIR TRADE FOR THE COMMERCIAL SHIPBUILDING AND REPAIR INDUSTRY

     SECTION 101. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Shipbuilding Trade Reform 
     Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 102. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) in 1981, the United States Government terminated 
     funding for the construction differential subsidy program, 
     thereby ending direct subsidization of commercial 
     shipbuilding in the United States;
       (2) the international market for shipbuilding and ship 
     repair continues to be distorted by a wide array of foreign 
     subsidies including direct grants, preferential financing, 
     equity infusions, research and development assistance, 
     restructuring aid, special tax concessions, debt forgiveness, 
     and other direct and indirect assistance;
       (3) existing United States trade laws and trade agreements 
     provide limited redress to domestic producers of ships for 
     the trade-distorting subsidies and dumping practices of 
     foreign shipbuilders; and
       (4) a strong, effective multilateral agreement among all 
     shipbuilding nations to eliminate trade-distorting practices 
     in the shipbuilding and repair industry is the best means of 
     providing for fair international competition, however, absent 
     such an agreement, changes in United States trade laws are 
     necessary to provide domestic producers of ships greater 
     protection against unfair trade practices than is provided 
     under current law.
       (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this title to ensure 
     fair trade in the commercial shipbuilding and repair industry 
     by providing for effective trade remedies against subsidized 
     and dumped foreign commercial ships.

     SEC. 103. SUBSIDIZED SHIPYARD LIST AND REQUIRED VESSEL ENTRY 
                   DOCUMENTATION REGARDING CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR 
                   SUBSIDIES.

       (a) Part II of title IV of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 
     U.S.C. 1431 et seq.) is amended by inserting after section 
     435 the following new sections:

     ``SEC. 435A. LISTING OF SUBSIDIZED SHIPYARDS.

       ``(a) Establishment of List.--The administering authority 
     shall establish and maintain a list of all foreign shipyards 
     that receive or benefit from, directly or indirectly, a 
     subsidy for the construction or repair of vessels.
       ``(b) Investigation.--The administering authority shall 
     conduct an investigation to decide whether there is 
     reasonable cause to believe that a foreign shipyard receives 
     or benefits from a subsidy for the construction or repair of 
     vessels. That investigation shall be initiated when the 
     administering authority has reasonable cause to believe that 
     a shipyard receives or benefits from, directly or indirectly, 
     a subsidy for the construction or repair of vessels--
       ``(1) on the basis of information available to the 
     administering authority; or
       ``(2) on petition for an investigation from an interested 
     party.
       ``(c) Determination After Investigation.--
       ``(1) In general.--Based on the investigation conducted 
     under subsection (b), the administering authority shall make 
     a determination as to whether a shipyard receives or benefits 
     from, directly or indirectly, a subsidy for the construction 
     or repair of vessels.
       ``(2) Notification and publication of listing.--If the 
     administering authority determines that a foreign shipyard 
     receives or benefits from, directly or indirectly, a subsidy 
     for the construction or repair of vessels, the administering 
     authority shall--
       ``(A) add the foreign shipyard to the list established 
     under subsection (a);
       ``(B) notify that shipyard of its inclusion on that list; 
     and
       ``(C) publish notice of that determination in the Federal 
     Register.
       ``(3) Time limit on making determination.--The 
     administering authority shall make a determination under this 
     subsection within 90 days of receipt of the information or 
     petition that serves as the basis for initiating an 
     investigation under subsection (b).
       ``(4) Publication of list.--The administering authority 
     shall publish the list of foreign shipyards receiving or 
     benefiting from a subsidy for the construction or repair of 
     vessels at least once every 6 months.
       ``(d) Emergency Listing.--
       ``(1) In general.--If at any time the administering 
     authority finds a reasonable basis to suspect that a foreign 
     shipyard may be receiving or benefiting from a subsidy for 
     the construction or repair of vessels, the administering 
     authority may add that shipyard to the list established under 
     subsection (a). The administering authority shall publish 
     notice of that emergency listing in the Federal Register, 
     which shall also include a schedule for investigation of the 
     alleged subsidy.
       ``(2) Investigation and determination of emergency 
     listings.--Within 90 days after publication of a listing 
     under paragraph (1), the administering authority shall 
     conclude the investigation and make a determination under 
     subsection (c) whether the shipyard is receiving or 
     benefiting from a subsidy for the construction or repair of 
     vessels.
       ``(e) Review of Listings.--If a foreign shipyard that is 
     listed under subsection (c) requests a review of that 
     determination within 30 days after the date of the 
     publication of the determination in the Federal Register 
     under subsection (c)(2), the administering authority shall 
     review that listing.
       ``(f) Subsequent Reconsideration and Removal of Listings.--
       ``(1) Reconsideration.--The administering authority may 
     reconsider a listing under subsection (c)--
       ``(A) on application from a foreign shipyard added to the 
     list under subsection (c) alleging changed circumstances 
     sufficient to warrant a reconsideration of that listing and 
     notice of that reconsideration is published in the Federal 
     Register; or
       ``(B) if the administering authority receives information 
     concerning the signing of an agreement between the United 
     States Government and the foreign country in which the 
     shipyard is located that provides for the immediate 
     elimination by that country of construction and repair 
     subsidies for vessels.
       ``(2) Restriction on reconsideration.--A foreign shipyard 
     may not make more than one application for reconsideration 
     under this paragraph in any calendar year.
       ``(3) Burden of persuasion.--In any reconsideration under 
     paragraph (1)(A), the burden of persuasion with respect to 
     whether there are changed circumstances sufficient to warrant 
     a determination that the foreign shipyard should be removed 
     from the list is on the applicant.
       ``(4) Removal from list.--The administering authority may 
     remove a foreign shipyard from the listing only if--
       ``(A) the foreign shipyard has proven that the foreign 
     shipyard does not receive or benefit from a subsidy, directly 
     or indirectly, for the construction or repair of vessels; or
       ``(B) there is a signed agreement between the United States 
     Government and the foreign country in which the shipyard is 
     located that provides for the immediate elimination of 
     construction and repair subsidies for vessels.
       ``(g) Penalty for False Information and Renewal of 
     Subsidies.--The administering authority shall place a foreign 
     shipyard on the list established under subsection (a) for a 
     period of not less than 5 years if the administering 
     authority determines--
       ``(1) that the foreign shipyard, or government of the 
     country in which the shipyard is located, provided the 
     administering authority with false or misleading information 
     during the investigation conducted under subsection (b); or
       ``(2) after making a determination under subsections (c) or 
     (f) that the shipyard is not subsidized, that the shipyard 
     receives or benefits from, directly or indirectly, any new 
     construction subsidies.
       ``(h) Action Against the United States Government.--An 
     interested party may bring a civil action against the United 
     States Government, in an appropriate district court of the 
     United States, for failure of the administering authority to 
     use due diligence to add a subsidized foreign shipyard to the 
     list established under subsection (a).

     ``SEC. 435B. CONSTRUCTION SUBSIDY CERTIFICATION REQUIRED OF 
                   VESSELS FOR ENTRY.

       ``(a) Certification Required at Entry.--The master of a 
     vessel shall, at the time of making formal entry of the 
     vessel under section 434 or 435, deposit with the appropriate 
     customs officer a construction subsidy certification for the 
     vessel.
       ``(b) Construction Subsidy Certifications.--
       ``(1) In general.--For purposes of this section, a 
     construction subsidy certification for a vessel is a document 
     that--
       ``(A) is either--
       ``(i) issued by the administering authority under 
     subsection (d), or
       ``(ii) in a form as the administering authority shall 
     prescribe and signed by either the vessel owner or person 
     that constructed the vessel; and
       ``(B) attests, regarding any construction carried out with 
     respect to the vessel, that the construction meets one of the 
     requirements set forth in paragraph (2).

[[Page 725]]

       ``(2) Certification requirements.--The requirements 
     referred to in paragraph (1)(B) are as follows:
       ``(A) No construction subsidy was granted or otherwise 
     provided with respect to the construction.
       ``(B) The construction was carried out with the benefit of 
     one or more subsidies, all of which were granted or otherwise 
     provided before the date of the enactment of this section.
       ``(C) The construction was carried out pursuant to a 
     specific contract entered into before October 16, 1991.
       ``(D) The construction was carried out with the benefit of 
     one or more subsidies that were granted or otherwise provided 
     during the 2-year period beginning on the date of the 
     enactment of this section, but an amount equal to the value 
     of each construction subsidy has been repaid to the agency 
     that granted or otherwise provided the construction subsidy.
       ``(E) The construction was carried out with the benefit of 
     one or more subsidies that were granted or provided on or 
     after the date of the enactment of this section, but an 
     amount equal to the value of each construction subsidy, 
     reduced by any amount repaid under paragraph (D), has been 
     paid by the Treasury of the United States.
       ``(F) The construction was carried out in a foreign country 
     which is signatory to a trade agreement with the United 
     States that provides for the immediate elimination of 
     construction subsidies for vessels.
       ``(G) The construction was carried out in a shipyard that, 
     at the time of contracting for construction of the vessel, 
     was not on the list established under section 435A(a).
       ``(3) Application of certification requirements.--With 
     respect to vessels constructed in a foreign country which is 
     a signatory to a trade agreement with the United States that 
     provides for the elimination of construction subsidies for 
     vessels, the requirements set forth in paragraph (2) shall be 
     applied in a manner consistent with that agreement.
       ``(c) Enforcement.--If the Secretary has reason to believe 
     that an unlawful act under section 436 relating to this 
     section has been committed, the Secretary shall--
       ``(1) undertake any investigation necessary to ascertain 
     whether action authorized under section 436 against the 
     master of the vessel, or the vessel, or both, is warranted; 
     and
       ``(2) if the vessel is not covered by a construction 
     subsidy certification issued under subsection (d) and the 
     information obtained during that investigation indicates that 
     there is reason to believe that the vessel does not meet any 
     certification requirement under subsection (b), so inform the 
     administering authority and provide that information to the 
     authority.
       ``(d) Issuance of Construction Subsidy Certifications by 
     the Administering Authority.--
       ``(1) Applications.--The owner or lessee of a vessel, or 
     the builder of a vessel, may apply to the administering 
     authority for the issuance of a construction subsidy 
     certification for that vessel. An application shall be 
     accompanied by any documentation that the administering 
     authority may require for purposes of establishing the 
     eligibility of the vessel for that certification, including, 
     if compliance with the requirement in subsection (b)(2)(D) or 
     (E) is alleged, information regarding the amount of each 
     construction subsidy granted or provided with respect to the 
     vessel and the payment or repayment of amounts equal to the 
     value of the construction subsidy.
       ``(2) Action on applications.--After considering the 
     documentation submitted with an application under paragraph 
     (1), the administering authority, within 90 days after 
     the day on which the application was received, shall decide 
     whether to issue or deny the construction subsidy 
     certification. The administering authority shall make the 
     decision publicly available.
       ``(3) Denial or condition of issuance of certification.--
     The administering authority shall, if a construction subsidy 
     certification for a vessel is denied under paragraph (2), 
     provide the applicant with a written statement of the reasons 
     for the denial or condition. The applicant may, within 14 
     days after the date of the written statement, request a 
     review of the denial or condition under subsection (e)(3).
       ``(e) Determinations and Reviews.--
       ``(1) Preliminary investigation.--The administering 
     authority shall--
       ``(A) on the basis of information available to the 
     administering authority;
       ``(B) on the basis of information provided by the Secretary 
     under subsection (c)(2); or
       ``(C) upon petition therefor from an interested party; 
     initiate a preliminary investigation to decide whether there 
     is reasonable cause to believe that a vessel does not meet 
     the construction subsidy certification requirements under 
     subsection (c).
       ``(2) Determinations after preliminary investigations.--If 
     the administering authority makes an affirmative decision 
     under paragraph (1) with respect to a vessel, the 
     administering authority shall determine whether the vessel 
     meets any construction subsidy certification requirement 
     under subsection (b)(2). If the administering authority makes 
     a negative determination on the basis of failure to meet the 
     requirement under subparagraph (D) or (E) of subsection 
     (b)(2), the administering authority shall calculate, and set 
     forth in the determination, the aggregate value of the 
     subsidy or subsidies used in the construction of the vessel.

     person whose application for a construction subsidy 
     certification was denied or conditioned under subsection 
     (d)(3) makes a timely request for review under this 
     paragraph, the administering authority shall review the 
     denial or condition.

     makes a negative determination under paragraph (2), or 
     upholds any certification denial or condition after review 
     under paragraph (3), the administering authority shall set 
     forth in the determination or review decision the action 
     which must be taken in order to satisfy a requirement for 
     construction subsidy certification for the vessel under 
     subsection (b). The builder of the vessel shall be primarily 
     responsible, and the vessel owner or operator secondarily 
     responsible, for taking any corrective action. If that action 
     is taken, the administering authority shall issue a 
     construction subsidy certification for the vessel and that 
     certification shall be treated as a construction subsidy 
     certification issued under subsection (d).
       ``(5) Consequential effects.--After a negative 
     determination under paragraph (2), or a decision under 
     paragraph (3) upholding a certification denial or condition, 
     becomes final and until a construction subsidy certification 
     for the vessel concerned is issued under paragraph (4), 
     neither that vessel, nor any other vessel that is owned or 
     leased by the owner of that vessel, may--
       ``(A) arrive at any port or place in the United States; or
       ``(B) remain at any port or place in the United States.

Para. 54.31  message from the president--lifelong learning act

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Ms. HORN, laid before the House a message 
from the President, which was read as follows:


[[Page 737]]


To the Congress of the United States:

  I am pleased to transmit today for your immediate consideration and 
enactment the ``Lifelong Learning Act of 1992.'' Also transmitted is a 
section-by-section analysis.
  This legislation would provide to all Americans, including working men 
and women and the unemployed, access to grant and loan help throughout 
their lives that is not now available. This additional help would make 
it possible for more Americans to further their education and increase 
their job skills and productivity.
  Enactment of this legislation would help move America forward in 
achieving National Education Goal Five: ``Every adult American will be 
literate and will possess the knowledge and skills necessary to compete 
in a global economy and exercise the rights and responsibilities of 
citizenship.''
  This legislation would:
  --Extend eligibility for Pell Grants and the three Guaranteed Student 
    Loan (GSL) programs to students studying less than half-time. 
    Providing grant and loan assistance to individuals taking as little 
    as one course at a time offers American men and women the 
    flexibility they need to improve their employment skills while 
    recognizing their commitments to jobs and families. This program 
    would extend loan eligibility to individuals who are enrolled in 
    non-degree granting education and training programs and who are 
    taking only one course at a time. These individuals have a 
    legitimate need for skill enhancement and training that is not being 
    met under existing loan programs. For example, a working mother in a 
    low-wage job could receive financial assistance for courses that 
    would qualify her for better paying, high-skilled jobs.
  --Extend new opportunities for education and training to all U.S. 
    citizens. Additional student loan eligibility would be available for 
    full- or part-time students. The Student Loan Marketing Association 
    (Sallie Mae) would be authorized to originate up to $25,000 in 
    loans, in addition to current GSL loan limits, through the Lifelong 
    Learning Line of Credit for those borrowers who want the option of 
    repaying loans on a basis tied to their actual income. The concept 
    of basing student loan repayment on a borrower's future earnings has 
    long been attractive to the Administration and to many in the 
    Congress. However, a program of this type presents unique and 
    complex design issues that demand careful analysis and structuring. 
    This Act would call upon Sallie Mae, a leader in student loan 
    administration, to offer $100 million per year in loans and to work 
    with the Secretary of Education to devise actuarially and fiscally 
    sound loan options that would be widely available.
  --Explore the use of high-quality education and training programs 
    offered by non-school based providers. The Secretaries of Education 
    and Labor would be authorized to develop regulations under which 
    students attending programs offered by nontraditional types of 
    providers could be eligible for the Lifelong Learning Line of 
    Credit. Community-based organizations, public or private agencies, 
    and private employers are some examples of the types of providers 
    that might participate. These providers could participate only if 
    the high quality of the programs could be ensured and if these funds 
    do not replace funds already being spent for this training.
  I believe that all Americans should have an opportunity to pursue 
education and training throughout their lives. I look forward to working 
with the Congress on this legislation and welcome your recommendations 
on how this legislation can best secure this opportunity for all 
Americans.
  I urge the Congress to give the Lifelong Learning Act of 1992 prompt 
and favorable consideration.
                                                          George Bush.  
    The White House, May 14, 1992.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Education and Labor and ordered 
to be printed (H. Doc. 102-330).

Para. 54.32  message from the president--national emergency with respect 
          to iran

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Ms. HORN, laid before the House a message 
from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:

  I hereby report to the Congress on developments since the last 
Presidential report on November 13, 1991, concerning the national 
emergency with respect to Iran that was declared in Executive Order No. 
12170 of November 14, 1979, and matters relating to Executive Order No. 
12613 of October 29, 1987. This report is submitted pursuant to section 
204(c) of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 
1703(c), and section 505(c) of the International Security and 
Development Cooperation Act of 1985, 22 U.S.C. 2349aa-9(c). This report 
covers events through March 31, 1992. My last report dated November 13, 
1991, covered events through September 30, 1991.
  1. The Iranian Transaction Regulations (``ITRs''), 31 CFR Part 560, 
were amended on December 3, 1991, to further interpret the documentary 
requirements for obtaining a license to import Iranian-origin carpets 
from third countries, and to permit the importation of certain household 
and personal effects by persons arriving in the United States. A copy of 
these amendments is attached to this report. Except for minor clerical 
changes, the Iranian Assets Control Regulations (``IACRs''), 31 CFR Part 
535, have not been amended since my last report.
  2. The Office of Foreign Assets Control (``FAC'') of the Department of 
the Treasury continues to process applications for import licenses under 
the ITRs. However, the December 3, 1991, amendments to the ITRs have 
resulted in a substantial reduction in the number of license 
applications received relating to the importation of nonfungible 
Iranian-origin goods, principally carpets, claimed to have been located 
outside of Iran prior to the imposition of the embargo. Those amendments 
have also made specific licenses unnecessary for most Iranian-origin 
goods permitted entry as duty-free household goods and personal effects 
by persons returning to the United States.
  During the reporting period, the Customs Service has continued to 
effect numerous seizures of Iranian-origin merchandise, mostly carpets, 
for violation of the import prohibitions of the ITRs. FAC and Customs 
Service investigations of these violations have resulted in forfeiture 
actions and the imposition of civil monetary penalties. Numerous 
additional forfeiture and civil penalty actions are under review.
  FAC worked closely with the Customs Service during the reporting 
period to further develop procedures to expeditiously dispose of cases 
involving the seizure of noncommercial importations of nonfungible 
Iranian goods by certain first-time importers. The opportunity for 
immediate re-exportation of such goods, under Customs supervision and 
upon payment of a mitigated forfeiture amount, has been made available 
in a greater number of cases to reduce the total cost of the violation 
to those importers.
  3. The Iran-United States Claims Tribunal (``the Tribunal''), 
established at The Hague pursuant to the Algiers Accords, continues to 
make progress in arbitrating the claims before it. Since my last report, 
the Tribunal has rendered 7 awards, for a total of 528 awards. Of that 
total, 357 have been awards in favor of American claimants: 217 of these 
were awards on agreed terms, authorizing and approving payment of 
settlements negotiated by the parties, and 140 were decisions 
adjudicated on the merits. The Tribunal has issued 34 decisions 
dismissing claims on the merits and 80 decisions dismissing claims for 
jurisdictional reasons. Of the 57 remaining awards, 3 approved the 
withdrawal of cases and 54 were in favor of Iranian claimants. As of 
March 31, 1992, payments on awards to successful American claimants from 
the Security Account held by the NV Settlement Bank stood at 
$2,045,284,993.99.
  As of March 31, 1992, the Security Account has fallen below the 
required balance of $500 million 34 times. Iran has periodically 
replenished the account, as required by the Algiers Accords, by 
transferring funds from the separate account held by the NV Settlement 
Bank in which interest on the Security Account is deposited. The last 
transfer of interest occurred on November 27,

[[Page 738]]

1991, and resulted in a transfer of $26.6 million from the interest 
account to the Security Account. The aggregate amount that has been 
transferred from the interest account to the Security Account is 
$859,472,986.47. As noted in my last report, Iran has also replenished 
the Security Account with the proceeds from the sale of Iranian-origin 
oil imported into the United States, pursuant to transactions licensed 
on a case-by-case basis by FAC.
  The Security Account was also increased on December 3, 1991, by an $18 
million payment from the United States that was a part of the settlement 
of case B/1 (Claim 4). This payment brought the balance of the Security 
Account up to the required $500 million for the first time since June 
1990. As of March 31, 1992, the total amount in the Security Account was 
$500,334,516.76, and the total amount in the interest account was 
$8,332,610,75.
  4. The Tribunal continues to make progress in the arbitration of 
claims of U.S. nationals for $250,000.00 or more. Since the last report, 
six large claims have been decided, including two claims that were 
settled by the parties. Approximately 85 percent of the nonbank claims 
have now been disposed of through adjudication, settlement, or voluntary 
withdrawal, leaving 89 such claims on the docket. The largest of the 
large claims, the progress of which has been slowed by their complexity, 
are finally being resolved, sometimes with sizable damage awards to the 
U.S. claimant. Since September 30, 1991, U.S. claimants have been 
awarded over $4 million by the Tribunal.
  5. As anticipated by the May 13, 1990, agreement settling the claims 
of U.S. nationals against Iran for less than $250,000.00, the Foreign 
Claims Settlement Commission (``FCSC'') has begun its review of 3,112 
claims. The FCSC has issued decisions in 460 claims, for total awards of 
over $8 million. The FCSC expects to complete its adjudication of the 
remaining claims by September 1993.
  6. In coordination with concerned Government agencies, the Department 
of State continues to present United States Government claims against 
Iran, as well as responses by the United States Government to claims 
brought against it by Iran. Since the last report, the United States 
Government has settled one case with Iran, resulting in a payment to 
Iran of $278,000,000. As noted above, $18 million of this payment was 
deposited into the Security Account for replenishment purposes. The 
Department of State also represented the United States before the 
Tribunal in a case filed by an Iranian national.
  7. As anticipated in my last report, after a final determination that 
there were no longer any bank syndicates pursuing claims against Dollar 
Account No. 1 at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, appropriate steps 
were taken to close the account. On February 19, 1992, the remaining 
balance in the dollar account, $134,128.56, was transferred to Bank 
Markazi. On March 12, 1992, the United States and Iran filed a joint 
submission to the Tribunal requesting termination of Case No. A/15 
(I:G), the case brought by Iran involving the syndicate claims.
  8. The situation reviewed above continues to implicate important 
diplomatic, financial, and legal interests of the United States and its 
nationals, and presents an unusual challenge to the national security 
and foreign policy of the United States. The IACRs issued pursuant to 
Executive Order No. 12170 continue to play an important role in 
structuring our relationship with Iran and in enabling the United States 
to implement properly the Algiers Accords. Similarly, the ITRs issued 
pursuant to Executive Order No. 12613 continue to advance important 
objectives in combatting international terrorism. I shall continue to 
exercise the powers at my disposal to deal with these problems and will 
continue to report periodically to the Congress on significant 
developments.

     effective treatment for substance abuse.

     provision of residential treatment services to pregnant 
     women.
       ``(2) Additional priority regarding matching funds.--In the 
     case of any application for a grant under subsection (a) that 
     is receiving priority under paragraph (1), the Director shall 
     give further priority to the application if the State 
     involved agrees as a condition of receiving the grant to 
     provide non-Federal contributions under subsection (c) in a 
     greater amount than the amount required under such subsection 
     for the applicable fiscal year.

     State involved agrees that the grant will be expended only

     transmission of HIV disease.
       ``(3) Permission of relevant state as condition of 
     authorization.--The regulations issued under paragraph (1) 
     shall provide that the Secretary may not provide an 
     authorization described in such paragraph to any treatment 
     program in a State unless the chief public health officer of 
     the State has certified to the Secretary that--
       ``(A) such officer does not object to the provision of such 
     authorizations to treatment programs in the State; and
       ``(B) the provision of interim maintenance services in the 
     State will not reduce the capacity of comprehensive treatment

       ``(a) In General.--The Secretary may make grants for the 
     purpose of providing for the operating expenses of trauma 
     centers that have incurred substantial uncompensated costs in 
     providing trauma care in geographic areas with a significant 
     incidence of violence arising directly or indirectly from 
     illicit trafficking in drugs. Grants under this subsection 
     may be made only to such trauma centers.
       ``(b) Minimum Qualifications of Centers.--
       ``(1) Significant incidence of treating certain patients.--
       ``(A) The Secretary may not make a grant under subsection 
     (a) to a trauma center unless the population of patients that 
     has been served by the center for the period specified in 
     subparagraph (B) includes a significant number of patients 
     who were treated for--
       ``(i) trauma resulting from the penetration of the skin by 
     knives, bullets, or any other implement that can be used as a 
     weapon; or
       ``(ii) trauma that the center reasonably believes results 
     from violence arising directly or indirectly from illicit 
     trafficking in drugs.
       ``(B) The period specified in this subparagraph is the 2-
     year period preceding the fiscal year for which the trauma 
     center involved is applying to receive a grant under 
     subsection (a).
       ``(2) Participation in trauma care system operating under 
     certain professional guidelines.--The Secretary may not make 
     a grant under subsection (a) unless the trauma center 
     involved is a participant in a system that--
       ``(A) provides comprehensive medical care to victims of 
     trauma in the geographic area in which the trauma center is 
     located;
       ``(B) is established by the State or political subdivision 
     in which such center is located; and
       ``(C)(i) has adopted guidelines for the designation of 
     trauma centers, and for triage, transfer, and transportation 
     policies, equivalent to (or more protective than) the 
     applicable guidelines developed by the American College of 
     Surgeons or utilized in the model plan established under 
     section 1213(c); or
       ``(ii) agrees that such guidelines will be adopted by the 
     system not later than 6 months after the date on which the 
     trauma center submits to the Secretary the application for 
     the grant.

     continue to incur substantial uncompensated costs in 
     providing trauma care; and
       ``(ii) provides for the long-term continued operation of 
     the center with an acceptable standard of medical care, 
     notwithstanding such uncompensated costs; and
       ``(B) agrees to implement the plan according to a schedule 
     approved by the Secretary.

     ``SEC. 1242. PREFERENCES IN MAKING GRANTS.

       ``(a) In General.--In making grants under section 1241(a), 
     the Secretary shall give preference to any application--
       ``(1) made by a trauma center that, for the purpose 
     specified in such section, will receive financial assistance 
     from the State or political subdivision involved for each 
     fiscal year during which payments are made to the center from 
     the grant, which financial assistance is exclusive of any 
     assistance provided by the State or political subdivision as 
     a non-Federal contribution under any Federal program 
     requiring such a contribution; or
       ``(2) made by a trauma center that, with respect to the 
     system described in section 1241(b)(2) in which the center is 
     a participant--
       ``(A) is providing trauma care in a geographic area in 
     which the availability of trauma care has significantly 
     decreased as a result of a trauma center in the area 
     permanently ceasing participation in such system as of a date 
     occurring during the 2-year period specified in section 
     1241(b)(1)(B); or
       ``(B) will, in providing trauma care during the 1-year 
     period beginning on the date on which the application for the 
     grant is submitted, incur uncompensated costs in an amount 
     rendering the center unable to continue participation in such 
     system, resulting in a significant decrease in the 
     availability of trauma care in the geographic area.
       ``(b) Further Preference for Certain Applications.--With 
     respect to applications for grants under section 1241 that 
     are receiving preference for purposes of subsection (a), the 
     Secretary shall give further preference to any such 
     application made by a trauma center for which a 
     disproportionate percentage of the uncompensated costs of the 
     center result from the provision of trauma care to 
     individuals who neither are citizens nor aliens lawfully 
     admitted to the United States for permanent residence.

     ``SEC. 1243. CERTAIN AGREEMENTS.

       ``(a) Commitment Regarding Continued Participation in 
     Trauma Care System.--The Secretary may not make a grant under

     involved agrees that--
       ``(1) the center will continue participation in the system 
     described in subsection (b) of such section throughout the 3-
     year period beginning on the date that the center first 
     receives payments under the grant; and

     violated by the center, the center will be liable to the 
     United States for an amount equal to the sum of--

     subsection (a) of such section; and
       ``(B) an amount representing interest on the amount 
     specified in subparagraph (A).
       ``(b) Maintenance of Financial Support.--With respect to 
     activities for which a grant under section 1241 is authorized 
     to be expended, the Secretary may not make such a grant 
     unless the trauma center involved agrees that, during the 
     period in which the center is receiving payments under the 
     grant, the center will maintain expenditures for such 
     activities at a level that is not less than the level 
     maintained by the center during the fiscal year preceding the 
     first fiscal year for which the center receives such 
     payments.
       ``(c) Trauma Care Registry.--The Secretary may not make a 
     grant under section 1241(a) unless the trauma center involved 
     agrees that--
       ``(1) the center will operate a registry of trauma cases in 
     accordance with the applicable guidelines described in 
     section 1241(b)(2)(C), and will begin operation of the 
     registry not later than 6 months after the

     date on which the center submits to the Secretary the 
     application for the grant; and

     maintain information on the number of trauma cases treated by 
     the center and, for each such case, the extent to which the 
     center incurs uncompensated costs in providing trauma care.

     to address current barriers to the provision of substance 
     abuse and mental health services. The Administrator shall 
     design a research and demonstration strategy that examines 
     such barriers and tests alternative solutions to the problems 
     of providing health insurance and treatment services for 
     substance abuse and mental health services. As soon as 
     practicable but not later than January 1, 1994, the Secretary 
     shall initiate research and demonstration projects that, 
     consistent with the information contained in the reports 
     required under this section, will study the issues identified 
     with, and possible alternative mechanisms of, providing 
     health insurance and treatment services for substance abuse 
     (including alcohol abuse) and mental illness.

Para. 56.5  whaling moratorium

  Mr. STUDDS moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 177); as amended: 

       Whereas whales are marine resources of great aesthetic, 
     educational, and scientific interest and are a vital part of 
     the marine ecosystem;
       Whereas the International Whaling Commission adopted in 
     1982 an indefinite moratorium on commercial whaling, which 
     was scheduled to go into effect in 1986, establishing zero 
     global catch limits for 11 species of whales;
       Whereas despite the moratorium on commercial whaling, 
     thousands of whales have been killed since its inception by 
     the commercial whaling nations;
       Whereas there remain uncertainties as to the status of 
     whale populations due to the difficulty of studying them, 
     their slow reproductive rate, and the unpredictability of 
     their recovery even when fully protected;
       Whereas the consequences of removing whale populations from 
     the marine ecosystem are not understood and cannot be 
     predicted;
       Whereas whales are subject to increasingly grave 
     environmental threats from nonhunting causes, such as 
     pollution, loss of habitat, oil spills, and the use of large-
     scale driftnets, which underscore the need for special 
     safeguards for whale protection;
       Whereas in addition, many of the more than 60 species of 
     small cetaceans are subject to direct commercial harvest;
       Whereas there is significant widespread support in the 
     international community for the view that, for scientific, 
     ecological, aesthetic, and educational reasons, whales should 
     no longer be commercially hunted;
       Whereas efforts made at the 1991 meeting of the 
     International Whaling Commission to overturn the moratorium 
     on commercial whaling were defeated; and
       Whereas there is concern that, at future International 
     Whaling Commission meetings, some countries will again press 
     for an immediate resumption of commercial whaling on some 
     stocks: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) United States policy should promote the conservation 
     and protection of whale, dolphin, and porpoise populations;
       (2) toward that goal, the United States should work to 
     strengthen and maintain an International Whaling Commission 
     moratorium on the commercial killing of whales, and work 
     toward a similar moratorium on the direct commercial harvest 
     of dolphins and porpoises;
       (3) the United States should work to strengthen the 
     International Whaling Commission by reaffirming its 
     competence to regulate direct commercial whaling on all 
     cetaceans, and should encourage the Commission to utilize the 
     expertise of its Scientific Committee by seriously 
     considering the Committee's recommendations; and
       (4) in so promoting the conservation and protection of the 
     world's whale populations, the United States should make the 
     fullest use of diplomatic channels, appropriate domestic and 
     international law, and all other available means. 

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, recognized Mr. STUDDS and Mr. 
YOUNG of Alaska, each for 20 minutes.
  After debate,
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House suspend the rules and agree to said concurrent 
resolution, as amended?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, announced that two-thirds of the 
Members present had voted in the affirmative.
  So, two-thirds of the Members present having voted in favor thereof, 
the rules were suspended and said concurrent resolution, as amended, was 
agreed to.
  By unanimous consent, the title was amended so as to read: ``A 
concurrent resolution calling for a United States policy of 
strengthening and maintaining an International Whaling Commission 
moratorium on the commercial killing of whales, and otherwise expressing 
the sense of the Congress with respect to conserving and protecting the 
world's whale populations.''.
  A motion to reconsider the votes whereby the rules were suspended and 
said concurrent resolution, as amended, was agreed to and the title was 
amended was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.
  Ordered, That the Clerk request the concurrence of the Senate in said 
concurrent resolution.

Para. 56.6  ratification of 27th amendment to the constitution

  Mr. BROOKS moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 320): 

       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That Congress declares that the proposed article 
     of amendment providing as follows:
       ``No law, varying the compensation for the services of the 
     Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an 
     election of Representatives shall have intervened.''

     has been ratified by a sufficient number of the States and 
     has become a part of the Constitution.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, recognized Mr. BROOKS and Mr. 
FISH, each for 20 minutes.
  After debate,
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House suspend the rules and agree to said concurrent 
resolution?

Members present had voted in the affirmative.
  Mr. FISH demanded that the vote be taken by the yeas and nays, which 
demand was supported by one-fifth of the Members present, so the yeas 
and nays were ordered.

announced that further proceedings on the motion were postponed until 
Wednesday, May 20, 1992, pursuant to the prior announcement of the 
Chair.

  Mr. BENNETT moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 4880) 
to reduce the stockpile requirement for, and authorize the disposal of, 
cobalt from the National Defense Stockpile.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, recognized Mr. BENNETT and Mr. 
SPENCE, each for 20 minutes.
  After debate,
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House suspend the rules and pass said bill?

  When Mr. BARNARD, Chairman, pursuant to House Resolution 457, reported 
the bill back to the House with an amendment adopted by the Committee.
  The previous question having been ordered by said resolution.
  The following amendment, reported from the Committee of the Whole 
House on the state of the Union, was agreed to:

       Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Airport and Airway Safety, 
     Capacity, and Intermodal Transportation Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) the Nation's aviation system must be part of an 
     intermodal transportation system consisting of hubs and 
     interconnections with other forms of transportation that will 
     move people and goods in the fastest, most efficient manner;
       (2) our Nation's airports are our interconnections with the 
     global economy; expanded flight capacity and greatly improved 
     ground access for passengers and cargo are essential to our 
     Nation's ability to compete in the international marketplace;
       (3) without significant additional financial resources, the 
     Nation's airports will be unable to accommodate fully the 
     growing aviation and ground traffic demands of the 1990's;
       (4) 27 of the Nation's top 100 airports are now 
     unacceptably congested and the resulting delays in flights 
     are costing our economy billions of dollars a year in lost 
     productivity and undermining the Nation's ability to compete 
     in the global economy;
       (5) unless the capacity of our airports is increased 
     substantially, the problem of flight delays will escalate 
     dramatically and, by the year 2000, 40 major airports will be 
     congested and incurring more than 20,000 hours of flight 
     delay a year;
       (6) the Nation must undertake an airport improvement and 
     development program costing at least $7,000,000,000 a year 
     over the next decade just to prevent the problem of airport 
     delay from growing worse in the 21st century;
       (7) neither State, local, nor Federal Government can 
     independently finance the needed airport and intermodal 
     development and there must be a combined effort relying on 
     all levels of government;
       (8) both the Federal airport improvement program and local 
     passenger facility charge programs are essential to funding 
     the development, as part of an intermodal transportation 
     system, of airports (including necessary ground access 
     eligible for funding under such programs) which meet our 
     Nation's needs;
       (9) the Nation's air traffic control system must be 
     modernized with the highest advanced technology to enable it 
     to continue to move traffic safely and efficiently and the 
     necessary development and procurement of capital equipment 
     will cost at least $18,000,000,000 over the next decade;
       (10) the modernization of the air traffic control system 
     will result in productivity and safety benefits of 
     $257,000,000,000 over the life of the equipment purchased; 
     these benefits include the value of time saved by airline 
     passengers, reductions in airline operating costs, and 
     reduced government expenditures and benefits from increased 
     safety;
       (11) there will need to be a continuing increase in 
     staffing for the air traffic control system to enable 
     controllers to handle, safely and efficiently, the increased 
     workload which will arise as air transportation grows over 
     the next decade;
       (12) the Federal Government must play a major role in 
     developing our aviation system; full use must be made of the 
     more than $5,000,000,000 which aviation users contribute to 
     the Airport and Airway Trust Fund each year and the 
     $7,400,000,000 surplus which has accumulated in the Trust 
     Fund;
       (13) although survival of a strong and competitive airline 
     industry is essential to our Nation's economic future--the 
     Nation's airlines are in a financial and competitive crisis 
     which threatens our entire aviation system and our Nation's 
     ability to move people; major airlines have lost more than 
     $6,000,000,000 over the past 2 years; many airlines have 
     merged or discontinued operations; and new entry into the 
     industry has ceased;
       (14) the opportunities for new entrants and financially 
     weak airlines to compete successfully can be maximized by the 
     development of new airport capacity, particularly terminal 
     facilities and gates, which will facilitate the ability of 
     new airlines to compete against the airlines which now 
     dominate the facilities at major hub airports;
       (15) investment in the aviation transportation 
     infrastructure of the United States will pay immediate and 
     long-term dividends in jobs and economic productivity and 
     provide the foundation for the Nation's continued leadership 
     in the global economic competition of the 21st century;
       (16) infrastructure investment differs significantly from 
     other forms of government spending because it creates new 
     wealth for the Nation;
       (17) the wealth and economic strength of the United States 
     is in the Nation's infrastructure which provides the 
     foundation for all aspects of life;
       (18) failure to invest in the transportation 
     infrastructure, including aviation, has placed the United 
     States in danger of becoming a service-oriented economy, 
     rather than having a strong and independent manufacturing-
     based economy;
       (19) the creation of a national intermodal transportation 
     system is central to the transportation issues of the coming 
     decades and will create the new wealth of the Nation to 
     provide the funds for the Nation to meet the challenges of 
     the 21st century;
       (20) our Nation should devote greater efforts to 
     integrating the aviation system with highway and mass transit 
     facilities providing access to airports;
       (21) transportation planning, taking account of commerce 
     and land-use patterns, must be improved at all levels and 
     local officials must have a significant role in 
     transportation decisions affecting their areas;
       (22) failure to develop an improved intermodal 
     transportation system for the 1990's and the 21st century 
     will result in continuing the two decade trend of decline in 
     United States competitiveness in the global economy and the 
     accompanying decline in the Nation's standard of living;
       (23) the safety of the traveling public is of paramount 
     national importance; and
       (24) aircraft deicing is an important element of aviation 
     safety and past aircraft incidents suggest that both the 
     Federal Government and private industries should focus on 
     methods to improve aircraft deicing procedures and 
     facilities.
         TITLE I--AIRPORT AND AIRWAY IMPROVEMENT ACT AMENDMENTS

     SEC. 101. NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION POLICY.

       Section 502 of the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 
     1982 (49 U.S.C. App. 2201) is amended by adding at the end 
     the following:
       ``(c) National Transportation Policy.--
       ``(1) It is a goal of the United States to develop a 
     national intermodal transportation system that moves people 
     and goods in an efficient manner. The Nation's future 
     economic direction is dependent on its ability to confront 
     directly the enormous challenges of the global economy, 
     declining productivity growth, energy vulnerability, air 
     pollution, and the need to rebuild the Nation's 
     infrastructure.
       ``(2) United States leadership in the world economy, the 
     expanding wealth of the Nation, the competitiveness of the 
     Nation's in-

[[Page 778]]

     dustry, the standard of living, and the quality of life are 
     at stake.
       ``(3) A national intermodal transportation system is a 
     coordinated, flexible network of diverse but complementary 
     forms of transportation which moves people and goods in the 
     most efficient manner. By reducing transportation costs, 
     these intermodal systems will enhance United States 
     industry's ability to compete in the global marketplace.
       ``(4) All forms of transportation, including aviation and 
     other transportation systems of the future, will be full 
     partners in the effort to reduce energy consumption and air 
     pollution while promoting economic development.
       ``(5) An intermodal transportation system consists of 
     transportation hubs which connect different forms of 
     appropriate transportation and provides users with the most 
     efficient means of transportation and with access to 
     commercial centers, business locations, population centers, 
     and the Nation's vast rural areas, as well as providing links 
     to other forms of transportation and to intercity 
     connections.
       ``(6) Intermodality and flexibility are paramount issues in 
     the process of developing an integrated system that will 
     obtain the optimum yield of United States resources.
       ``(7) The United States transportation infrastructure must 
     be reshaped to provide the economic underpinnings for the 
     Nation to compete in the 21st century global economy. The 
     United States can no longer rely on the sheer size of its 
     economy to dominate international economic rivals and must 
     recognize fully that its economy is no longer a separate 
     entity but is part of the global marketplace. The Nation's 
     future economic prosperity depends on its ability to compete 
     in an international marketplace that is teeming with 
     competitors but where a full one-quarter of the Nation's 
     economic activity takes place.
       ``(8) The United States must make a national commitment to 
     rebuild its infrastructure through development of a national 
     intermodal transportation system. The United States must 
     provide the foundation for its industries to improve 
     productivity and their ability to compete in the global 
     economy with a system that will move people and goods faster 
     in an efficient manner.''.

     SEC. 205. NATIONAL COMMISSION TO PROMOTE A STRONG AND 
                   COMPETITIVE AIRLINE INDUSTRY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Nation's airlines must be part of an intermodal 
     transportation system that will move people and goods in the 
     fastest, most efficient manner.
       (2) The Nation's airlines provide our connections with the 
     global economy; a strong airline industry is essential to our 
     Nation's ability to compete in the international marketplace.
       (3) The Nation's airlines are in a state of financial 
     distress, having lost more than $6,000,000,000 in 1990 and 
     1991. These losses threaten the ability of our airlines to 
     accommodate the growing aviation traffic demands of the 
     1990's which threaten to undermine our Nation's ability to 
     compete in the global economy.
       (4) Because of the airline industry's financial distress 
     and the absence of government policies to promote 
     competition, there has been a precipitous decline in the 
     number of major airlines. Of the 22 airlines which entered 
     the industry following airline deregulation, only 2 are now 
     operating. The rest have either gone out of business or 
     merged with other carriers.
       (5) Concentration in the airline industry has advanced 
     rapidly in the past few years. The top 4 major airlines now 
     control 67 percent of aviation traffic and the top 7 airlines 
     now control 91 percent of aviation traffic. Three major 
     airlines, carrying 19 percent of aviation traffic, are in 
     chapter 11 bankruptcy and their survival is in doubt.
       (6) The continued success of a deregulated airline system 
     requires the spur of effective actual and potential 
     competition to force airlines to provide high quality service 
     at the lowest possible fares.
       (7) Further reductions in the number of major airlines may 
     leave the industry without sufficient competition to ensure a 
     continuation of the benefits consumers have received under 
     airline deregulation.
       (b) Establishment.--There is established a commission to be 
     known as the ``National Commission to Ensure a Strong 
     Competitive Airline Industry'' (in this section referred to 
     as the ``Commission'').
       (c) Functions.--The Commission shall make a complete 
     investigation and study of the financial condition of the 
     airline industry, the adequacy of competition in the airline 
     industry, and legal impediments to a financially strong and 
     competitive airline industry. Based on such investigation and 
     study, the Commission shall recommend those policies which 
     need to be adopted to achieve the national goal of a strong 
     and competitive airline system which will facilitate the 
     ability of our Nation to compete in the global economy, 
     provide adequate levels of competition and service at 
     reasonable fares at cities of all sizes, and provide a stable 
     work environment for its employees. In carrying out such 
     study and investigation the Commission shall take into 
     account aircraft noise abatement, a priority established by 
     Congress by enactment of the Airport Noise and Capacity Act 
     of 1990.

[[Page 781]]

       (d) Specific Matters To Be Addressed.--The Commission shall 
     specifically investigate and study the following:
       (1) Financial condition of airline industry.--The 
     Commission shall determine the current financial condition of 
     the airline industry and how the industry's financial 
     condition is likely to change over the next 5 years. The 
     issues to be considered shall include the following: the 
     profits or losses likely to be achieved by the airline 
     industry over the next 5 years; whether or not any profits 
     realized will be adequate to permit airlines to acquire the 
     capital equipment necessary to meet the demand of the 
     traveling public in a safe and efficient manner, while 
     complying with environmental regulations; and whether or not 
     any major airlines are likely to fail or sell major assets in 
     order to survive.
       (2) Adequacy of competition.--The Commission shall 
     investigate the current state of competition in the airline 
     industry, how the structure of airline industry competition 
     is likely to change over the next 5 years, and whether or not 
     the expected level of competition will be sufficient to 
     continue the consumer benefits of airline deregulation.
       (3) Legal impediments to a financially strong and 
     competitive airline industry.--The Commission shall examine 
     whether the Federal Government should take any legislative or 
     administrative actions to improve the financial conditions of 
     the airline industry or to enhance airline competition. The 
     matters to be investigated shall include whether or not any 
     changes are needed in the legal and administrative policies 
     which govern--
       (A) the initial award and the transfer of international 
     airline routes;
       (B) the allocation of slots at high density airports;
       (C) the allocation of gates, particularly at airports 
     dominated by 1 or a limited number of airlines;
       (D) frequent flier programs;
       (E) airline computer reservations systems;
       (F) the rights of foreign investors to invest in United 
     States airlines;
       (G) the taxes and user fees imposed on United States 
     airlines;
       (H) the regulatory responsibilities imposed on United 
     States airlines;
       (I) the bankruptcy laws of the United States and related 
     fitness rules administered by the Department of 
     Transportation as they apply to airlines; and
       (J) the obligations of failing airlines to meet pension 
     obligations.
       (4) International aviation policy.--The Commission shall 
     investigate whether or not the policies and strategies 
     followed by the United States in international aviation are 
     promoting the ability of United States airlines to achieve 
     long-term competitive success in international markets. The 
     matters to be investigated shall include the following: the 
     Government's general negotiating policy; the desirability of 
     multilateral rather than bilateral negotiations; whether or 
     not foreign countries have developed the necessary 
     infrastructure of airports and airways to enable our airlines 
     to provide the service needed to meet the demand for aviation 
     service between the United States and such countries; the 
     rights granted foreign airlines to provide service in United 
     States domestic markets (``cabotage''); and the rights 
     granted foreign investors to invest in United States 
     airlines.
       (e) Membership.--

Para. 57.4  privileges of the house

  Mr. SANTORUM rose to a question of the privileges of the House and 
submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 460):

       Whereas the reputation of the House has been besmirched by 
     the manner in which financial records of the House have been 
     maintained; and
       Whereas required audits of House accounts have not been 
     performed; and
       Whereas the procedure used for expenditures under the House 
     contingent fund were regarded by Congress as a ``scandal'' 
     when used by the United States Air Force in its ``M 
     Account''; and
       Whereas the $16 million budget of the Capitol Preservation 
     Commission has not been subjected to a required audit by the 
     General Accounting Office according to a study by the 
     Heritage Foundation; and
       Whereas the reprogramming of monies under said accounts has 
     not been made public or widely shared with the membership of 
     the House: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Speaker is directed to have performed 
     complete financial and performance audits of the Capital 
     Preservation Commission account and the House Contingent 
     account; And be it further
       Resolved, That the Speaker shall have said audits done by 
     an independent third party; And be it further
       Resolved, That said audits shall be completed within 90 
     days and the results of said audits shall be provided to the 
     full membership of the House.

  Pending the Speaker's ruling,
  Mr. SANTORUM was recognized to speak to the question of the privileges 
of the House and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, we have heard some of the comments of the 1-minute 
speeches. There have been reports in the newspapers and allegations made 
as to improprieties or potential improprieties conducted within the 
contingent funds of the House, that there was, in fact, no audit 
conducted of the Capitol preservation account that was required as 
reported by the Heritage Foundation, that these are allegations that do 
bring into question some of the doings here in the House of 
Representatives. And as a result, I think it rises to a question of 
privilege and would request that this resolution be made in order.''.

  Mr. WALKER was recognized to speak to the question and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, the test for a question of privilege is whether or not 
there are allegations of wrongdoing contained within the resolution and 
whether or not those questions of wrongdoing do, in fact, reflect upon 
the integrity of the House of Representatives. In this case, there are 
two allegations of alleged wrongdoing. In the case of the Capitol 
Preservation Commission, the law does require an audit by the Gen-

[[Page 787]]

eral Accounting Office. According to a recent study by the Heritage 
Foundation, said audit has not been done.
  ``So, therefore, that does constitute a question of improper conduct. 
And so, therefore, it should be permitted.
  ``Beyond that, the method in which the House contingent account has 
been run, namely, multiyear authorizations and expenditures, was, in 
fact, regarded by Congress as an unacceptable means of expenditure, 
when it involved the U.S. Air Force and its so-called M account.

  ``Furthermore, these procedures have recently been characterized by 
the Wall Street Journal, a national publication, as `Congress having 
arranged special treatment for itself and shielded its operations from 
public scrutiny.'
  ``We do have now an allegation by a major national news source that 
what we are doing here constitutes wrongdoing in the public realm. So 
in that case, allegations of wrongdoing in the public domain also raise 
a question of privileges before the House.
  ``So for those reasons, I would say that the gentleman's resolution 
is in order and should be debated by the House.''.

  Mr. FAZIO was recognized to speak to the question and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, I would like to be heard on this so-called privileged 
resolution.
  ``My remarks are in two categories. Specifically, as I look at the 
resolution there is a reference to the failure to audit the Capitol 
Preservation Commission. That is the only real allegation of any 
specificity in the resolution. And I might try to place on the record 
some facts that obviously eluded the Heritage Foundation, which is the 
source of the information which was just presented by the two gentleman 
from Pennsylvania.
  ``The Preservation Commission audit has begun and is ongoing. Of 
course, the General Accounting Office is required, and I agree with the 
gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Walker], to do so under the law in 
which the Preservation Commission was created. Section 804 of Public 
Law 106-96 asked that an audit be done on an annual basis.
  ``But the Commission, which was authorized in 1988, did not hold its 
first meeting until 1991, and no financial activities were undertaken 
until later. And so it was impossible effectively for any financial 
audit to be performed until activities took place and expenditures were 
made in February 1991.
  ``We believe that the ongoing Commission audit is the first 
opportunity to look at any activity of any consequence which took place 
under the purview of the Commission, and in my view, when the GAO is 
able to allocate sufficient resources, given the other responsibilities 
they have been given by this institution in other areas, they will 
complete this audit and it will be available to us, just as the law 
requires.
  ``The other comments made by the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. 
Walker] relate to articles in the Wall Street Journal, Heritage 
Foundation reports, and I suppose we could say articles that appeared 
in the Washington Times, all of which are repeating rumors and 
innuendoes which are circulated by all of these entities on a regular 
basis. There is no factual content to the resolution otherwise.
  ``There, obviously, is an effort here to inflame public concern about 
the way the House operates. The House record of doing audits is a good 
one, and I suppose that is why no other entity or activity other than 
the Preservation Commission was cited with any specificity in the 
resolution.
  ``So it is clearly an inappropriate occasion for these issues to be 
brought before the House. There will be ample opportunity to discuss 
these matters on other legislation that will come before us during the 
remainder of this year.
  ``There is no question that this issue has been before us before and 
been discussed in the context of the legislative branch appropriation 
bill, and in reference to the Iran-Contra investigation when the whole 
subject of contingent fund expenditures of the House of Representatives 
was discussed in great depth with the minority whip, Mr. Gingrich.
  ``Mr. Speaker, at a subsequent point in the Record I will include a 
series of audits which have been conducted of the legislative branch 
activities going back to the 1st of October of 1987, and we will 
provide this to make sure that all of the audits which have been 
performed are available in the Record so those who seem to be unable to 
find them will know where to go to obtain them so that in the future 
their comments can be made more accurately.''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, ruled that the resolution 
submitted did not present a question of the privileges of the House 
under rule IX, and said:

  ``The Chair is prepared to rule. A question of the privileges of the 
House may not be invoked to effect a change in the rules of the House 
or their interpretation. Similarly a question of the privileges of the 
House may not invoke to effect a change in the operation of law.
  ``The instant resolution does not allege a deviation from or 
violation of the duly constituted procedures of the House affecting the 
range of account activity addressed in the resolution after its 
resolving clause. Rather, with respect to almost the whole of that 
range, the resolution takes issue with the very adequacy of the 
procedures under existing law and rule. It does not confine itself to 
the redress of an abuse of existing rules. Rather it proposes to change 
and add to such rules, including the new auditing requirements of rule 
LIII, as adopted in House Resolution 423 on April 9, 1992 by requiring 
a comprehensive financial and performance audit of all contingency 
accounts within 90 days.
  ``An assertion that the reputation of the House is besmirched because 
it does not follow a particular course of action suggested as an 
improvement in its operation does not present a question affecting the 
rights of the House collectively, its safety, dignity, or the integrity 
of its proceedings under the precedents. That such an assertion may 
have been echoed in a major financial publication does not change the 
matter. On this point the opinion of Speaker Colfax on April 21, 1868--
which is recorded in Hinds' Precedents, volume 3, section 2639--on the 
subject of general charges concerning the proceedings of the House--in 
that instance in a newspaper--is aptly quoted:

       If this proposition could be entertained as a question of 
     privilege, the House of Representatives would or could have 
     resolutions upon questions of privilege before them every 
     day, because probably not a day elapses without some 
     newspaper in the country making a general charge against the 
     Congress or some of its Members. These charges must be 
     specific charges. A general charge that some conduct has been 
     scandalous and unjust, the Chair will rule is not a question 
     of privilege * * *.

  ``The preamble of instant resolution does not present a predicate for 
a question of the privileges of the House. As Speaker pro tempore Cox 
noted in the precedent of September 20, 1888, which is recorded in 
Hinds' Precedents, volume 3, section 2601, there is no allegation of 
impropriety. Similarly, the matter after its resolving clause merely 
proposes what amounts to a new rule for audits of all House accounts 
without alleging improper conduct with respect to all those accounts.
  ``Therefore, the Chair rules that the resolution does not constitute 
a question of the privileges of the House.''.

  Mr. SANTORUM appealed the ruling of the Chair.
  Mr. GEPHARDT moved to lay the appeal on the table.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House lay on the table the appeal of the ruling of the 
Chair?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. SANTORUM objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken 
by electronic device.

     gasoline sold in the United States after March 15, 1998, is 
     derived from domestically produced, renewable, nonpetroleum 
     sources;
       (C) at least 1\1/2\ octane numbers of the octane rating of 
     all gasoline sold in the United States after March 15, 2002, 
     is derived from domestically produced, renewable, 
     nonpetroleum sources; and
       (D) at least 2 octane numbers of the octane rating of all 
     gasoline sold in the United States after March 15, 2006, is 
     derived from domestically produced, renewable, nonpetroleum

       (2) Limitation.--The Secretary of Energy may waive, in 
     whole or in part, the application of paragraph (1) for any 
     ozone nonattainment area during the high ozone season upon a 
     determination by the Administrator of the Environmental 
     Protection Agency that compliance with such requirement would 
     prevent or interfere with the attainment by the area of a 
     national primary ambient air quality standard.
       (b) Marketable Octane Credits.--The Secretary of Energy 
     shall issue regulations establishing a system for the use of 
     marketable octane credits for gasoline sold in the United 
     States after March 15, 1994, under which credits due to 
     gasoline with a higher octane number derived from 
     domestically produced, renewable, nonpetroleum sources than 
     is required under subsection (a)(1) may be used to offset the 
     sale of gasoline with a lower octane number than is so 
     required. Credits under such system may be transferred 
     between companies or within one company.
       (c) Relation to Other Law. --Nothing in this section shall 
     be construed to amend or affect the application of the Clean 
     Air Act.
       (d) Definitions. For purposes of this section--
       (1) the term ``gasoline'' means any fuel which is commonly 
     or commonly known as

[[Page 795]]

     gasoline, and which is sold for use in motor vehicles and 
     motor engines; and
       (2) the term ``octane rating'' means the number determined 
     by adding the Research Octane Number plus the Motor Octane 
     Number of gasoline, and dividing the sum by 2.

       On page 719, strike line 20 and all that follows through 
     Page 727, line 3, and insert the following (and redesignate 
     the subsequent provisions, and conform the table of contents, 
     accordingly):

     Subtitle A--Combined Construction Permit and Operating License

     SEC. 2801. COMBINED LICENSES.

       Section 185 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 
     2235) is amended--
       (1) in the heading for such section by adding ``and 
     Operating Licenses'' after ``Permits'';
       (2) by adding a subsection designator ``a.'' before ``All 
     applicants for licenses''; and
       (3) by adding at the end the following new subsection:
       ``b. After holding a public hearing under section 189 a. 
     (1)(A), the Commission shall issue to the applicant a 
     combined construction and operating license if the 
     application contains sufficient information to support the 
     issuance of a combined license and the Commission determines 
     that there is reasonable assurance that the facility will be 
     constructed and will operate in conformity with the license, 
     the provisions of this Act, and the Commission's rules and 
     regulations. The Commission shall identify within the 
     combined license the inspections, tests, and analyses, 
     including those applicable to emergency planning, that the 
     licensee shall perform, and the acceptance criteria that, if 
     met, are necessary and sufficient to provide reasonable 
     assurance that the facility has been constructed and will be 
     operated in conformity with the license, the provisions of 
     this Act, and the Commission's rules and regulations. 
     Following issuance of the combined license, the Commission 
     shall ensure that the prescribed inspections, tests, and 
     analyses are performed and, prior to operation of the 
     facility, shall find that the prescribed acceptance criteria 
     are met. Any finding made under this subsection shall not 
     require a hearing except as provided in section 189 a. 
     (1)(B).''.

     SEC. 2802. POST-CONSTRUCTION HEARINGS ON COMBINED LICENSES.

       Section 189 a. (1) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 
     U.S.C. 2239(a)(1)) is amended--
       (1) by adding a subparagraph designator ``(A)'' before ``In 
     any proceeding under this Act,''; and
       (2) by adding after subparagraph (A) the following new 
     subparagraph:
       ``(B)(i) Not less than 180 days before the date scheduled 
     for initial loading of fuel into a plant by a licensee that 
     has been issued a combined construction permit and operating 
     license under section 185 b., the Commission shall publish in 
     the Federal Register notice of intended operation. That 
     notice shall provide that any person whose interest may be 
     affected by operation of the plant, may within 60 days 
     request the Commission to hold a hearing on whether the 
     facility as constructed complies, or on completion will 
     comply, with the acceptance criteria of the license.
       ``(ii) A request for hearing under clause (i) shall show, 
     prima facie, that one or more of the acceptance criteria in 
     the combined license have not been, or will not be met, and 
     the specific operational consequences of nonconformance that 
     would be contrary to providing reasonable assurance of 
     adequate protection of the public health and safety.
       ``(iii) After receiving a request for a hearing under 
     clause (i), the Commission expedi-

[[Page 796]]

     tiously shall either deny or grant the request. If the 
     request is granted, the Commission shall determine, after 
     considering petitioners' prima facie showing and any answers 
     thereto, whether during a period of interim operation, there 
     will be reasonable assurance of adequate protection of the 
     public health and safety. If the Commission determines that 
     there is such reasonable assurance, it shall allow operation 
     during an interim period under the combined license.
       ``(iv) The Commission, in its discretion, shall determine 
     appropriate hearing procedures, whether informal or formal 
     adjudicatory, for any hearing under clause (i), and shall 
     state its reasons therefor.
       ``(v) The Commission shall, to the maximum possible extent, 
     render a decision on issues raised by the hearing request 
     within 180 days of the publication of the notice provided by 
     clause (i) or the anticipated date for initial loading of 
     fuel into the reactor, whichever is later. Commencement of 
     operation under a combined license is not subject to 
     subparagraph (A).''.

     SEC. 2803. RULEMAKING.

       The Nuclear Regulatory Commission shall propose regulations 
     implementing sections 185 b. and 189 a. (1)(B) of the Atomic 
     Energy Act of 1954, as added by sections 2801 and 2802 of 
     this Act, not later than 1 year after the date of enactment 
     of this Act.

     SEC. 2804. AMENDMENT OF A COMBINED LICENSE PENDING A HEARING.

       Section 189 a. (2) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 
     U.S.C. 2239(a)(2)) is amended by inserting ``or any amendment 
     to a combined construction and operating license'' after 
     ``any amendment to an operating license'' each time it 
     occurs.

     SEC. 2805. JUDICIAL REVIEW.

       Section 189 b. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 
     2239(b)) is amended by inserting ``or any final order 
     allowing or prohibiting a facility to begin operating under a 
     combined construction and operating license'' before ``shall 
     be subject to judicial review''.

     SEC. 2806. EFFECT ON PENDING PROCEEDINGS.

       Section 185 b. and 189 a. (1)(B) of the Atomic Energy Act 
     of 1954, as added by sections 2801 and 2802 of this Act, 
     shall apply to all proceedings involving a combined license 
     for which an application was filed after May 8, 1991, under 
     such sections.

     SEC. 2807. CONFORMING AMENDMENT.

       The table of contents of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 is 
     amended by amending the item relating to section 185 to read 
     as follows:

Para. 57.26  recorded vote

  A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of 
the Whole on the following amendment submitted by Mr. MARKEY:

       Page 200, after line 11, insert the following new section 
     (and conform the table of contents accordingly):

     SEC. 214. STATE REGULATION OF THE PRODUCTION OF NATURAL GAS.

       Section 602 of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 is 
     amended by adding a new subsection (c), as follows:
       ``(c) State Regulation of the Production of Natural Gas.--
       ``(1) Certain state resource and property regulation 
     authorized.--State regulation of natural gas production, 
     which has the substantial purpose or effect of furthering 
     legitimate State interests in resource conservation, the 
     prevention of physical waste and the protection of 
     correlative rights of producers in a common reservoir, 
     including--
       ``(A) oil and natural gas well spacing;
       ``(B) prevention of flaring and physical waste;
       ``(C) prevention of undue drainage and protection of 
     correlative rights of producers within, or probably within, a 
     common reservoir;
       ``(D) flow restrictions against past overproducers within, 
     or probably within, a common reservoir;
       ``(E) unitization of a reservoir;
       ``(F) restrictions on production of natural gas caps in 
     oil/gas reservoirs;
       ``(G) gas/oil ratios; and
       ``(H) maximization of ultimate hydrocarbon production 
     according to sound engineering practices,

     is authorized, notwithstanding any incidental effect from 
     such regulation of restricting production and increasing 
     prices.

       ``(2) Certain state pricing regulation prohibited.--A State 
     may not engage in regulation of the production of natural gas 
     which has the substantial purpose or effect of generally 
     restricting natural gas production and raising the general 
     price level of natural gas, including--
       ``(A) market demand prorationing;
       ``(B) statewide prorationing;
       ``(C) prorationing between reservoirs not reasonably shown 
     to be in geologic communication; and
       ``(D) other prorationing which unreasonably prevents buyers 
     from purchasing lower-priced natural gas in preference to 
     higher-priced natural gas.

[[Page 797]]

       ``(3) Court enforcement.--Any natural gas pipeline, private 
     or municipal local distribution company, natural gas 
     marketer, consumer of natural gas, or State public utility 
     regulatory commission may bring a civil action in the Federal 
     district court for the District of Columbia to enjoin any 
     State regulation, including any State or State agency rule, 
     order, or law, on grounds it is prohibited under paragraph 
     (2). Such court shall, after considering the purpose and 
     effect of such regulation and all relevant information, set 
     aside and enjoin such regulation to the extent it is 
     prohibited under paragraph (2).
       ``(4) State-owned production.--This subsection shall not 
     apply to the regulation of a natural gas well wholly owned by 
     a State or the portion of a natural gas well's production 
     owned by a State.''.

Para. 57.28  message from the president--chemical and biological weapons

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. JEFFERSON, laid before the House a 
message from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:

  On November 16, 1990, in light of the dangers of the proliferation of 
chemical and biological weapons, I issued Executive Order No. 12735 and 
declared a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic 
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701, et seq.).
  The proliferation of chemical and biological weapons continues to pose 
an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign 
policy of the United States.
  Section 204 of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and 
section 401(c) of the National Emergencies Act contain periodic 
reporting requirements regarding activities taken and money spent 
pursuant to an emergency declaration. The following report is made 
pursuant to these provisions.
  The three export control regulations issued under the Enhanced 
Proliferation Control Initiative are fully in force and have been used 
to control the export of items with potential use in chemical or 
biological weapons or their delivery systems.
  Over the last 6 months, the United States has continued to address 
actively the problem of the proliferation and use of chemical and 
biological weapons in its international diplomatic efforts.
  The membership of the Australia Group of countries cooperating against 
chemical and biological weapons proliferation grew from 20 to 22 members 
when Finland and Sweden were welcomed into the Group in December 1991.
  At the same December 1991 Australia Group meeting, all member 
countries confirmed that they had implemented or were implementing 
export controls on all 50 identified chemical weapons precursors. Almost 
all Australia Group members agreed at the meeting to impose controls on 
a common list of dual-use chemical equipment. In the first major 
Australia Group involvement in biological weapons nonproliferation, the 
December meeting also produced a draft list of biological organisms, 
toxins, and equipment to consider for export controls. This list was 
further refined by an Australia Group experts' meeting in March 1992, 
the intersessional meeting held by the Australia Group, and will be 
considered for adoption by the June 1992 Australia Group plenary.
  Encouraging progress can also be reported in the steps taken by 
countries outside the Australia Group, including several Eastern 
European countries and Argentina, to establish effective chemical and 
biological export controls comparable to those observed by Australia 
Group members.
  Finally, the March 31, 1992, report regarding expenditures under the 
declaration of the national emergency to deal with the lapse of the 
Export Administration Act in Executive Order No. 12730 also includes 
measures related to the Enhanced Proliferation Control Initiative. 
Pursuant to section 401(c) of the National Emergencies Act,

[[Page 798]]

there were no additional expenses directly attributable to the exercise 
of authorities conferred by the declaration of the national emergency.
                                                          George Bush.  
    The White House, May 20, 1992.

  By unanimous consent, the message was referred to the Committee on 
Foreign Affairs and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 102-335).

Para. 57.29  message from the president--mfn with respect to albania

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. JEFFERSON, laid before the House a 
message from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  Pursuant to section 402(c)(2)(A) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended 
(the ``Act'') (19 U.S.C. 2432(c)(2)(A)), I have determined that a waiver 
of the application of subsections (a) and (b) of section 402 with 
respect to Albania will substantially promote the objectives of section 
402. A copy of that determination is enclosed. I have also received

     emerging conditions which are likely to affect the future 
     nature and extent of the problems or needs which the program 
     is intended to address;
       (3) an identification of any other program having 
     potentially conflicting or duplicative objectives;
       (4) a statement of the number and types of beneficiaries or 
     persons served by the program;
       (5) an assessment of the effectiveness of the program and 
     the degrees to which the original objectives of the program 
     or group of programs have been achieved;
       (6) an assessment of the cost effectiveness of the program;
       (7) an assessment of the relative merits of alternative 
     methods which could be considered to achieve the purposes of 
     the program.

     SEC. 16. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING INCREASING 
                   PRODUCTIVITY.

       (a) Finding.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) failure to meet the challenge of international economic 
     competitiveness would seriously jeopardize our national 
     security, standard of living, and quality of life in the 
     coming decades; and
       (2) increased productivity is the key to meeting the 
     challenge and regaining the competitive edge the United 
     States economy enjoyed in the past.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that funds should be allocated to allow this Nation to commit 
     to an increase in productivity and international 
     competitiveness through a program of long-term strategic 
     investment in--
       (1) the development of its human resources;
       (2) the physical infrastructure that supports economic 
     activity;
       (3) the development and commercialization of technology; 
     and
       (4) productive plants and equipment.

     SEC. 17. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON WIC.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, 
     Infants and Children (WIC) has been invaluable to millions of 
     needy pregnant and nursing women, infants and children at 
     nutritional risk for nearly 20 years;
       (2) President Bush has commendably recommended an increase 
     in the WIC program for fiscal year 1993, continuing the 
     strong bipartisan support for expanding the program to serve 
     more of those eligible;
       (3) the chairmen of five major American corporations 
     testified last year on WIC, declaring that an increased 
     investment in WIC is essential to the Nation's future 
     economic growth and that ``WIC can make an important 
     contribution to ensuring that . . . we have the productive 
     workforce we need'';
       (4) the CEO's called WIC ``the health-care equivalent of a 
     triple-A rated investment . . . one of the most reliable ways 
     that Government can invest in its resources,'' and 
     recommended that to achieve the national education goal 
     established by the President and Governors that by the year 
     2000 all children should start school ready to learn, ``. . . 
     we need to set a related goal: Every woman, infant, and child 
     who is eligible for WIC in 1995 and later years will be 
     served by the program'';
       (5) less than 60 percent of the eligible women, infants, 
     and children are served by the program due to funding 
     limitations;
       (6) a funding level of $3,000,000,000 in fiscal year 1993 
     is needed to remain on the 5-year path embarked upon by the 
     Congress last year to reach full funding consistent with the 
     CEO's recommendation; and
       (7) a recent United States Department of Agriculture study 
     has demonstrated that the prenatal component of WIC reduces 
     Medicaid costs by between $1.92 and $4.21 for each dollar 
     invested in it, and studies issued by the National Bureau of 
     Economic Research have found WIC to be one of the most cost-
     effective means of reducing infant mortality and indicate WIC 
     also may produce long-term savings in special-education 
     costs.
       (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that the WIC program should be funded at $3,000,000,000 for 
     fiscal year 1993.

     SEC. 18. DEFENSE INDUSTRY CONVERSION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) the Office of Technology Assessment estimates that, 
     during the period beginning in 1991 and ending in 1995, 
     between 530,000 and 620,000 employees of private, defense-
     related industries in the United States will become 
     unemployed as a result of reductions in such spending;
       (2) the retraining and re-employment of such members, 
     civilian employees, and employees of private industry is 
     critical to the capability of the private aerospace and 
     defense industries of the United States to develop, 
     commercialize, and market non-defense products and 
     technologies; and
       (3) the capability of such industries to develop, 
     commercialize, and market non-defense products and 
     technologies will play a critical role in ensuring the long-
     term economic prosperity of such industries and the United 
     States.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) no less than $1,000,000,000 in budget authority 
     provided in this resolution for the defense function 050 for 
     fiscal year 1993 should be made available for defense 
     industry conversion-related activities such as those within 
     the following programs:
       (A) Defense industry workers.--Job Training Partnership 
     Act, Economic Dislocation and Worker Adjustment Assistance;
       (B) Communities.--
       (i) Economic Development Administration;
       (ii) Community Development Block Grants;
       (iii) Small Business Administration; and
       (iv) Impact aid grants to school districts; and
       (C) Technology.--
       (i) National Science Foundation education grants to 
     engineers;
       (ii) Department of Energy technology transfer;
       (iii) National Institute of Standards and Technology; and
       (iv) Intelligent vehicle highway system; and
       (2) a meaningful percentage of the savings in Federal 
     defense spending in fiscal years 1993 through 1997 should be 
     made available for the establishment of programs to re-train 
     and re-employ active duty members of the Armed Forces, 
     civilian employees of the Department of Defense, and 
     employees of private, defense-related industries who are 
     involuntarily separated from such duty or become unemployed 
     as a result of reductions in Federal spending for national 
     defense.

     SEC. 19. BUDGET AUTHORITY-OUTLAY RATIO.

       It is the sense of the Congress that if in decisions among 
     priorities, the Committees on Appropriations find that an 
     excess of budget authority would remain after dividing all of 
     the outlays that this resolution allocates to those 
     committees for fiscal year 1993, then to the extent that 
     those committees wish to utilize that excess of budget 
     authority, those committees should favor programs that cause 
     outlays to occur more slowly, rather than employing delays of 
     obligations or payment shifts that would increase outlays in 
     fiscal year 1994.
       And the Senate agree to the same.

Para. 60.9  recorded vote

  A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of 
the Whole on the following amendment submitted by Mr. DINGELL to the 
amendment submitted by Mr. MILLER of California:
  Amendment submitted by Mr. DINGELL:

       Strike sections 3101 through 3104 and insert in lieu 
     thereof the following, and make the necessary conforming 
     changes in the table of contents:

     SEC. 3101. STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT LANDS

       Section 21 of the Federal Power Act is amended as follows:
       (1) In the first sentence after the word ``right'' insert 
     ``, temporarily during project construction,''.
       (2) In the first sentence after the word ``damage'' insert 
     ``(and to restore and repair),''.
       (3) After the first sentence insert: ``The term `unimproved 
     dam site' shall not include any site or area that was 
     acquired by a State or local government or agency thereof 
     solely for the purposes of a public park, recreation, or 
     wildlife refuge before the date such licensee is issued a 
     license by the Commission and is owned and operated for such 
     purposes, except that nothing in this sentence shall preclude 
     a State or local government from consenting to the 
     acquisition of such site or area with the licensee.'' The 
     amendments made by this section to section 21 of the Federal 
     Power Act shall apply to the exercise of eminent domain by 
     any licensee under such section after the date of this Act.

     SEC. 3102. APPLICATION OF CERTAIN STATE LAWS.

       Part I of the Federal Power Act is amended by adding the 
     following new section at the end thereof:

     ``SEC. 32. APPLICATION OF CERTAIN STATE LAWS.

       ``If, prior to the filing of any application by any person 
     for an original license under this Act, a State has 
     previously enacted a law (after the Governor of such State 
     has provided prior and timely notice of the State's intention 
     to enact such a law to the Secretary of the Interior, the 
     Secretary of Energy, the Secretary of Commerce, and the 
     Chairman of the Commission, affording each an opportunity of 
     at least 90 days to comment to the Governor and to the State 
     legislature) specifically prohibiting, as part of a 
     comprehensive State plan, development of hydroelectric power 
     facilities and similar facilities, in order to protect 
     permanently specific natural river segments within the State, 
     including adjacent lands, the Commission, in any licensing 
     proceeding, shall afford such State law a rebuttable 
     presumption that issuance of a license for a hydroelectric 
     project on such segments is not desirable and justified in 
     the public interest. Notwithstanding any such State law, any 
     person may apply to the Commission for a license under this 
     part to construct a project on any such segment, and if such 
     applicant rebuts such presumption, the Commission may, 
     pursuant to a majority vote, after taking into consideration 
     the provisions of section 4(e) and 10, issue a license under 
     this part for such project. Nothing in this section shall 
     apply to the issuance of a new license under section 15 for 
     any existing facility in a relicensing proceeding under this 
     Act.''.

     SEC. 3103. TECHNICAL CORRECTION.

       Section 31(c) of the Federal Power Act is amended by 
     striking out ``or exemptee'' and inserting ``exemptee or 
     other person''.

     SEC 3104. PUBLIC LANDS.

       Section 24 of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 818) is 
     amended by adding the following at the end thereof: ``Any 
     lands of the United States reserved as a power site pursuant 
     to this section which are public lands within the meaning of 
     section 103(e) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act 
     of 1976 shall be considered to be public lands for purposes 
     of section 501 of that Act notwithstanding such reservation, 
     and any reference in such section 501 to `the Federal Power 
     Act of 1935 (49 Stat. 847; 16 U.S.C. 791)' shall be 
     considered to be a reference to this act, including this 
     part.''. Nothing in this section shall apply to the issuance 
     of a new license under section 15 of the Federal Power Act 
     for any existing facility in a relicensing proceeding under 
     that Act.

  Amendment submitted by Mr. MILLER of California:

       Page 752, after line 16, insert the following:

                  TITLE XXXI--FEDERAL AND STATE LANDS

     SEC. 3101. RIGHTS-OF-WAY ON CERTAIN FEDERAL LANDS.

       (a) Extent of Rights.--(1) Section 501 of the Federal Land 
     Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1761) is amended 
     by adding at the end of subsection (b)(1) thereof the 
     following: ``Any right-of-way granted or issued under this 
     section shall convey only the rights specifically described 
     therein, and shall not convey or be construed to imply 
     conveyance of any rights to the use of the affected lands or 
     the resources of such lands.''.
       (2) Section 501 of such Act is amended as follows:
       (A) Insert in subsection (a), after ``public lands'' the 
     following: ``(as defined in section 103(e) of this Act)''.
       (B) In paragraph (4) of subsection (a), strike ``Federal 
     Power Commission under the Federal Power Act of 1935 (49 
     Stat. 847; 16 U.S.C. 791) and insert in lieu thereof 
     ``Federal Energy Regulatory Commission under the Federal 
     Power Act, including part 1 thereof (41 Stat. 1063, 16 U.S.C. 
     791a-825r).''.
       (b) Energy-Related Rights-of-Way.--Section 501 of the 
     Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 is amended by 
     adding at the end thereof a new subsection, as follows:
       ``(d)(1) Under this section, a right-of-way on public lands 
     or lands within the National Forest System may be granted or 
     issued for the construction or operation of a non-Federal 
     system (including any dam, diversion, or appurtenant project 
     works) for the generation, transmission, or distribution of 
     electrical energy only if the Secretary or the Secretary of 
     Agriculture, as appropriate, finds that the use of such lands 
     for the construction or operation of the facilities involved 
     in such system--
       ``(A) is consistent with applicable management plans for 
     such lands, and will not interfere with or be inconsistent 
     with the protection and utilization of such lands for the 
     purposes for which such lands are managed; and
       ``(B) will not result in substantial degradation of natural 
     or cultural resources, scenic or recreational values, 
     watershed resources, or fish and wildlife populations or 
     habitat affected by the proposed system or affected by the 
     cumulative effects of the proposed system and other uses of 
     such lands or adjacent lands.

[[Page 823]]

       ``(2)(A) The Secretary concerned shall provide for early 
     and continued public participation in connection with 
     consideration of an application for a right-of-way under this 
     subsection by making a copy of such application available for 
     public inspection in the vicinity of the affected lands for 
     at least 90 days prior to acting on the application and by 
     conducting at least 1 public meeting thereon at a time and 
     location likely to assure public participation.
       ``(B) All information, including documents and testimony, 
     related to the concerned Secretary's decision on an 
     application under this subsection shall be available for 
     public inspection in regional or local offices of the Bureau 
     of Land Management or Forest Service, and at the same time as 
     such Secretary decides whether or not to grant or issue the 
     requested right-of-way, such Secretary shall publish in the 
     Federal Register an appropriate document stating and 
     explaining the basis for such decision.
       ``(3)(A) If facilities of a system described in paragraph 
     (1) would be located on lands under the administrative 
     jurisdiction of a single agency of the United States, that 
     agency shall have the principal role in preparing any 
     analysis, under applicable law, of the effects of 
     construction and operation of such facilities on the 
     environment. If such facilities would be located on lands 
     under the administrative jurisdiction of more than 1 such 
     agency, each such agency involved may enter into an agreement 
     among themselves in order to avoid duplication of 
     responsibility or effort, to expedite the consideration of 
     applications for rights-of-way or other rights with respect 
     to use of such lands, to issue joint regulations in 
     appropriate cases, and to assure that decisions about such 
     system are based on a comprehensive review of possible 
     effects on Federal lands and resources.
       ``(B) Any analysis described in subparagraph (A) of this 
     paragraph shall be prepared by an agency of the United States 
     with administrative jurisdiction over affected lands, or by 
     an independent contractor selected by such an agency, and not 
     by the applicant for a right-of-way under this subsection or 
     by any other party selected or reimbursed by such applicant.
       ``(C) Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as 
     precluding an agency of the United States from requiring an 
     applicant for a right-of-way under this section or any other 
     party to provide any necessary information in connection with 
     an analysis described in subparagraph (A) or in connection 
     with decisions about any other aspect of a system described 
     in paragraph (1) of this subsection.''.
       (c) Effective Date and Implementation.--(1) The amendments 
     to the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 made by 
     this section shall not apply to any project for which the 
     land-management agency has completed a final review of an 
     application for a right-of-way prior to the enactment of this 
     section.
       (2) No later than 1 year after the date of enactment of 
     this Act, the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture 
     shall issue joint regulations to:
       (A) establish procedures for appropriate public 
     participation in decisions relating to applications for 
     rights-of-way of the type covered by section 501(d) of the 
     Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976; and
       (B) establish procedures to coordinate, so far as possible, 
     the timing of review by such Secretaries regarding such 
     applications with review of related projects by other Federal 
     agencies.

     SEC. 3102. DAMS IN NATIONAL PARKS.

       (a) Prohibition.--(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), 
     no individual corporation, partnership, Federal or State 
     agency, political subdivision, or any other legal entity may 
     commence construction of--
       (A) any new dam or other new impoundment within the 
     external boundaries of any unit of the National Park Systems; 
     or
       (B) any new dam or other new impoundment which, after the 
     date of enactment of this Act, will inundate any land within 
     the external boundaries of any unit of the National Park 
     System.
       (2) The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to a 
     project developed by the National Park Service that the 
     Secretary of the Interior determines necessary to meet the 
     purposes for which the affected unit of the National Park 
     System was established if such project would not degrade the 
     resources or values of such unit.
       (b) Definitions.--For purposes of this section, the 
     following terms shall have the following meanings:
       (1) The term ``new dam or other new impoundment'' means any 
     facility for impoundment or obstruction of the flow of water, 
     construction of which commences after the enactment of this 
     Act.
       (2) The term ``impoundment' means the formation of a body 
     of water upstream from a dam or other structure caused by the 
     construction or operation of the dam or other structure.
       (3) The term ``inundate'' means to permanently or 
     intermittently cover land with water.
       (c) Concurrence.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, no department or agency of the United States shall renew 
     or reissue any license, or issue a new license, for any dam 
     or other facility for impoundment or obstruction of the flow 
     of water that is located on or that inundates any land within 
     the National Park System, if such action would result in new 
     or increased effects on the resources and values of such 
     land, unless the Secretary of the Interior concurs in such 
     action.
       (d) Scope.--The prohibition of this section shall be in 
     addition to, and not in lieu of, any other prohibition or 
     restriction on activities within any unit of the National 
     Park System.
       (e) Other Projects.--Nothing in this section prohibits the 
     Secretary of the Army or any other Federal department or 
     agency from undertaking a study of any project or from 
     submitting a recommendation to Congress for the authorization 
     or licensing of such project.

     SEC. 3103. STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT LANDS.

       Section 21 of the Federal Power Act is amended as follows:
       (1) In the first sentence after the word ``right'' insert 
     ``, temporarily during project construction,''.
       (2) In the first sentence after the word ``damage'' insert 
     ``(and to restore and repair), ''.
       (3) After the first sentence insert: ``The term `unimproved 
     dam site' shall not include any site or area that was 
     acquired by a State or local government or agency thereof 
     solely for the purposes of a public park, recreation, or 
     wildlife refuge before the date such licensee is issued a 
     license by the Commission and is owned and operated for such 
     purposes, except that nothing in this sentence shall preclude 
     a State or local government from consenting to the 
     acquisition of such site or area with the licensee.''
       The amendments made by this section to section 21 of the 
     Federal Power Act shall apply to the exercise of eminent 
     domain by any licensee under such section after the date of 
     enactment of this Act.

     SEC. 3104. COORDINATION WITH FEDERAL AGENCIES.

       Section 6(g) of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 
     1965 is amended by inserting the following at the end 
     thereof: ``If a State has enacted statutory provisions 
     providing for the permanent protection of the natural, 
     ecological, cultural, scenic, or recreational resources of 
     designated river segments within that State, if such 
     protection is part of a comprehensive Statewide plan approved 
     by the Secretary of the Interior under section 6, and if such 
     provisions prohibit the development of new hydroelectric 
     power projects on such designated segments, neither the 
     Secretary nor any other officer or agent of the United States 
     (other than the Secretary of the Army or the Chief of the 
     United States Soil Conservation Service) shall assist or 
     issue an original license or an exemption for the 
     construction of any new hydroelectric power project if the 
     project is located wholly within that State and if such 
     assistance, license, or exemption would be inconsistent with 
     such prohibition. The preceding sentence shall not apply to 
     any project authorized for construction by the Secretary of 
     the Army before, on, or after the date of the enactment of 
     this sentence and not subsequently deauthorized pursuant to 
     the provisions of Title X of Public Law 99-662 or any other 
     provision of law.''.

                   EFFICIENCY CODES AND STANDARDS.

       (a) In General.--Title II of the National Energy 
     Conservation Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 8211-8235i) is amended by 
     adding at the end the following new part:

 ``PART 6--RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL BUILDING ENERGY EFFICIENCY CODES 
                             AND STANDARDS

     ``SEC. 271. UPDATING OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY CODES AND 
                   STANDARDS.

       ``(a) Technical Assistance.--(1) Not later than 12 months 
     after the date of the enactment of this part, the Secretary 
     shall establish a program to provide technical assistance in 
     the updating, implementing, and enforcing the energy 
     efficiency provisions in residential and commercial building 
     codes. In establishing and carrying out such program, the 
     Secretary shall provide such assistance to State and local 
     code officials, building professionals, and building owners 
     and operators involved in reviewing and analyzing current 
     model codes and standards for residential and commercial 
     building energy efficiency, in designing appropriate code 
     amendments, in developing code administration, compliance, 
     and enforcement methods, or in implementing and enforcing the 
     codes.
       ``(2) Such technical assistance shall include direct 
     analytical and training support and may include grants to 
     States, local governments, and other organizations from funds 
     available for such purpose. States which have certified that 
     they have met the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) 
     shall be given a priority for grants made to implement and 
     enforce energy efficiency provisions of building codes.
       ``(3)(A) The Secretary shall establish a task force to 
     advise in the development of the program described in 
     paragraph (1) and to review the results of such program.
       ``(B) The task force shall include representatives from 
     building scientists, nonprofit groups concerned with energy 
     efficiency in buildings, utilities, manufacturers and 
     installers of energy efficient materials and systems, the 
     building construction industry, the financial community, code

     Updates.--(1) Not later than two years after the date of the 
     enactment of this part, each State shall certify that it has 
     reviewed and updated its residential building code provisions 
     affecting energy efficiency. This certification shall include 
     a demonstration that the State's residential building energy 
     efficiency code provisions meet or exceed the requirements of 
     the Council of American Building Officials' Model Energy Code 
     of 1989.
       ``(2)(A) Whenever the model energy code referred to in 
     paragraph (1) (or any successor of such code) is revised in a 
     manner that the Secretary determines will improve energy 
     efficiency in residential dwellings, the Secretary shall 
     publish a notice of such determination in the Federal 
     Register.
       ``(B) During any year beginning after December 31, 1995, 
     the Secretary may, for the purpose of improving energy 
     efficiency in residential buildings, prescribe regulations 
     containing energy efficiency requirements that exceed the 
     requirements of--
       ``(i) if no determination has been made under subparagraph 
     (A), the model energy code referred to in paragraph (1); or
       ``(ii) if a determination has been made under subparagraph 
     (A), the most recent code for which such a determination has 
     been made.
       ``(C) Whenever the Secretary makes a determination under 
     subparagraph (A) or prescribes regulations under subparagraph 
     (B), each State shall, not later than two years after the 
     date of the publication of such determination or regulations, 
     certify that it has reviewed and updated its residential 
     building code provisions affecting energy efficiency in

                       PART 1--ELECTRIC UTILITIES

     SEC. 131. ENCOURAGEMENT OF INVESTMENTS IN CONSERVATION AND 
                   ENERGY EFFICIENCY.

       (a) In General.--Section 111(d) of the Public Utility 
     Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2621(d)) is 
     amended by inserting at the end the following new paragraphs:
       ``(7) Least-cost planning.--Each electric utility shall 
     employ least-cost planning in order to provide adequate and 
     reliable service to its electric customers at the lowest 
     system cost. All plans or filings of a State regulated 
     electric utility before a State regulatory authority to meet 
     the requirements of this paragraph shall (A) be updated on a 
     regular basis, (B) provide the opportunity for public 
     participation and comment, (C) provide for methods of 
     validating predicted performance, and (D) contain a 
     requirement that the plan be implemented after approval of 
     the State regulatory authority.
       ``(8) Investments in conservation and demand management.--
     The rates charged by any electric utility shall be such that 
     the utility's prudent investments in, and expenditures for, 
     energy conservation and load shifting programs and for other 
     energy demand management measures which are consistent with 
     the findings and purposes of title I of the Comprehensive 
     National Energy Policy Act are at least as profitable (taking 
     into account the income lost due to reduced sales resulting 
     from such programs) as prudent investments in, and 
     expenditures for, generation, transmission, and distribution 
     facilities.
       ``(9) Energy efficiency improvements in power generation 
     and supply.--The rates charged by any electric utility shall 
     be such that the utility is encouraged to make investments 
     in, and expenditures for, all cost-effective improvements in 
     the energy efficiency of power generation and supply. In 
     considering regulatory changes to achieve the objectives of 
     this paragraph, State regulatory authorities and nonregulated 
     electric utilities shall reduce or eliminate disincentives to 
     better maintenance by electric utilities and investment by 
     electric utilities in more efficient power generation, 
     transmission, and distribution technologies.
       ``(10) Inclusion of external costs.--The utility's least 
     cost plans shall include, to the greatest extent practicable, 
     the external costs and benefits of providing electric 
     service, including but not limited to environmental impacts, 
     maintaining access to foreign and domestic sources of supply, 
     employment opportunities, economic development, and 
     health.''.
       (b) Impact on Small Business.--Section 111 of such Act is 
     amended by inserting the following new subsection at the end 
     thereof:
       ``(e) Small Business Impacts.--If a State regulatory 
     authority implements a standard established by subsection 
     (d)(7) or (8), such authority shall (1) consider the impact 
     that implementation of such standard would have on small 
     businesses engaged in the design, sale, supply, installation, 
     or servicing of energy conservation, energy efficiency, or 
     other demand side management measures, and (2) implement such 
     standard so as to assure that utility actions would not 
     provide such utilities with unfair competitive advantages 
     over such small businesses.''.
       (c) Effective Date.--Section 112(b) of such Act is amended 
     by inserting ``(or after the enactment of the Comprehensive 
     National Energy Policy Act in the case of standards under 
     paragraphs (7), (8), (9), and (10) of section 111(d))'' after 
     ``Act'' in both places such word appears in paragraphs (1) 
     and (2).
       (d) Definition of Least Cost Planning.--Section 3 of such 
     Act is amended by adding the following new paragraph at the 
     end:
       ``(19) The term `least-cost planning' means planning by use 
     of any standard, regulation, practice, or policy by which a 
     State regulatory agency undertakes, or requires an electric 
     or gas utility to undertake, a systematic comparison of 
     energy efficiency, transmission, distribution, generation and 
     supply investment opportunities to minimize life-cycle costs 
     of adequate and reliable utility services to customers. 
     Least-cost planning shall take into account necessary 
     features for system operation such as diversity, reliability, 
     dispatchability, and other factors of risk and shall treat 
     demand and supply resources on a consistent and integrated 
     basis.''.
       (e) Report.--Not later than 2 years after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Energy shall transmit 
     a report to the President and to the Congress containing a 
     survey of all State laws, regulations, practices, and 
     policies under which State regulatory authorities--
       (1) require least-cost planning (as defined in the Public 
     Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978); and
       (2) implement the provisions of paragraphs (7), (8), (9), 
     and (10) of section 111(d) of the Public Utility Regulatory 
     Policies Act of 1978 (as added by subsection (a) of this 
     section).

     The report shall include an analysis prepared in consultation 
     with the Federal Trade Commission, of the competitive impact 
     of implementation of energy conservation, energy ef-

     ficiency, and other demand side management programs by 
     utilities on small businesses engaged in the design, sale, 
     supply, installation, or servicing of similar energy 
     conservation, energy efficiency, or other demand side 
     management measures and whether any unfair, deceptive, or 
     predatory acts or practices exist, or are likely to exist, 
     from implementation of such programs.

       ``(1) No approved plan.--If an integrated resource plan for 
     any customer is not submitted before the date 12 months after 
     the guidelines are amended as required under this section or 
     if the plan is disapproved by the Administrator and a revised 
     plan is not resubmitted by the date 9 months after the date 
     of such disapproval, the Administrator shall impose a 
     surcharge of 10 percent of the purchase price on all power 
     obtained by that customer from the Western Area Power 
     Administration after such date. The surcharge shall remain in 
     effect until an integrated resource plan is approved for that 
     customer. If the plan is not submitted for more than one year 
     after the required date, the surcharge shall increase to 20 
     percent for the second year (or any portion thereof prior to 
     approval of the plan) and to 30 percent thereafter until the 
     plan is submitted or the contract for the purchase of power 
     by such customer from the Western Area Power Administration 
     terminates.
       ``(2) Failure to comply with approved plan.--After approval 
     by the Administrator of an applicable integrated resource 
     plan for any customer, the Administrator shall impose a 10 
     percent surcharge on all power purchased by such customer 
     from the Western Area Power Administration whenever the 
     Administrator determines that such customer's activities are 
     not consistent with the applicable integrated resource plan. 
     The surcharge shall remain in effect until the Administrator 
     determines that the customer's activities are consistent with 
     the applicable integrated resource plan. The surcharge shall 
     be increased to 20 percent if the customer's activities are 
     out of compliance for more than one year and to 30 percent 
     after more than 2 years, except that no surcharge shall be 
     imposed if the customer demonstrates, to the satisfaction of 
     the Administrator, that a good faith effort has been made to 
     comply with the approved plan.
       ``(3) Reduction in power allocation.--In the case of any 
     customer subject to a surcharge under paragraph (1) or (2), 
     in lieu of imposing such surcharge the Administrator may 
     reduce such customer's power allocation from the Western Area 
     Power Administration by 10 percent. The Administrator shall 
     provide by regulation the terms and conditions under which a 
     power allocation terminated under this subsection may be 
     reinstated.
       ``(4) Suits to require enforcement.--A retail customer of 
     any customer may bring an action against the Administrator to 
     require the Administrator to--
       ``(A) immediately approve or disapprove a plan or plan 
     revision or amendment whenever the Administrator has failed 
     to approve or disapprove such plan or plan revision or 
     amendment within the applicable time period specified in 
     subsection (a); or

     any action under this paragraph, without regard to the amount 
     in controversy or the citizenship of the parties, to require 
     the Administrator to immediately approve or disapprove a plan 
     or plan revision or amendment or to impose a surcharge or 
     power allocation reduction on any customer, as the case may 
     be. No action may be brought under this paragraph until 60 
     days after the plaintiff has given notice to the 
     Administrator of the proposed action.
       ``(f) Integrated Resource Planning Cooperatives.--With the 
     approval of the Administrator, customers within any State or 
     region may form integrated resource planning cooperatives for 
     the purposes of complying with this title, and such customers 
     shall be allowed an additional 6 months to submit an initial 
     integrated resource plan to the Administrator.
       ``(g) Customers With More Than 1 Contract.--If more than 
     one long-term firm power service contract exists between the 
     Administrator and a customer, only one integrated resource 
     plan shall be required for that customer under this title.
       ``(h) Program Review.--Within 1 year after January 1, 1999, 
     and at appropriate intervals thereafter, the Administrator 
     shall initiate a public process to review the program 
     established by this section. The Administrator is authorized

     SEC. 141. ENCOURAGEMENT OF INVESTMENTS IN CONSERVATION AND 
                   ENERGY EFFICIENCY.

       (a) In General.--Section 303(b) of the Public Utility 
     Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 is amended by inserting at 
     the end the following new paragraphs:
       ``(3) Least-cost planning.--Each gas utility shall employ 
     least-cost planning, as defined in section 131(c) of this 
     title, in order to provide adequate and reliable service to 
     its gas customers at the lowest system cost. All plans or 
     filings of a State regulated gas utility before a State 
     regulatory authority to meet the requirements of this 
     paragraph shall (A) be updated on a regular basis, (B) 
     provide the opportunity for public participation and comment, 
     (C) provide for methods of validating predicted performance, 
     and (D) contain a requirement that the plan be implemented 
     after approval of the State regulatory authority. Section 
     303(c) shall not apply to this paragraph to the extent that 
     it could be construed to require the State regulatory 
     authority to extend the record of a State proceeding in 
     submitting reports to the Federal Government.
       ``(4) Investments in conservation and demand management.--
     The rates charged by any gas utility shall be such that the 
     utility's prudent investments in, and expenditures for, 
     energy conservation and load shifting programs and for other 
     energy demand management measures which are consistent with 
     the findings and purposes of the Comprehensive National 
     Energy Policy Act are at least as profitable (taking into 
     account the income lost due to reduced sales resulting from 
     such programs) as prudent investments in, and expenditures 
     for, the acquisition or construction of supplies and 
     facilities. This objective requires that (A) regulators link 
     the utility's net revenues at least in part to the utility's 
     performance in implementing cost-effective programs promoted 
     by this section; and (B) regulators ensure that, for purposes 
     of recovering fixed costs, including its authorized return, 
     the utility's performance is not affected by reductions in 
     its retail sales volumes.
       ``(5) Inclusion of external costs.--The utility's least-
     cost plans shall include, to the greatest extent practicable, 
     the external impacts of providing gas service, including 
     environmental degradation, and in the case of imported 
     resources, maintaining access to foreign sources of supply. 
     Such impacts will be used in determining the cost-
     effectiveness of demand and supply options. Regulators shall 
     seek to avoid incentives for use of environmentally inferior 
     unregulated fuels, and shall ensure that their treatment of 
     external impacts is symmetrical for each fuel subject to 
     their regulation, to avoid creation of inappropriate fuel 
     substitution incentives.''.
       (b) Impact on Small Business.--Section 303 of such Act is 
     amended by inserting the following new subsection at the end 
     thereof:
       ``(d) Small Business Impacts.--If a State regulatory 
     authority implements a standard established by subsection (b) 
     (3) or (4), such authority shall (1) consider the impact that 
     implementation of such standard would have on small 
     businesses engaged in the design, sale, supply, installation, 
     or servicing of energy conservation, energy efficiency, or 
     other demand side management measures, and (2) implement such 
     standard so as to assure that utility actions would not 
     provide such utilities with unfair competitive advantages 
     over such small businesses.''.
       (c) Effective Date.--Section 303(a) of such Act is amended 
     by inserting ``(or after the enactment of the Comprehensive 
     National Energy Policy Act in the case of standards under 
     paragraphs (3), (4), and (5) of subsection (b))'' after 
     ``Act'' and by striking out ``standard established by 
     subsection (b)(2)'' in paragraph (2) and inserting 
     ``standards established by paragraphs (2), (3), (4) and (5) 
     of subsection (b)''.
       (d) Report.--The report under section 131(d) of this Act 
     transmitted by the Secretary of Energy to the President and 
     to the Congress shall contain a survey of all State laws, 
     regulations, practices, and policies under which State 
     regulatory authorities implement the provisions of paragraphs 
     (3), (4), and (5) of section 303(b) of the Public Utility 
     Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (as added by subsection (a) 
     of this section). The report shall include an analysis 
     prepared in consultation with the Federal Trade Commission, 
     of the competitive impact of implementation of energy 
     conservation, energy efficiency, and other demand side 
     management programs by utilities on small businesses engaged 
     in the design, sale, supply, installation, or servicing of 
     similar energy conservation, energy efficiency, or other 
     demand side management measures and whether any unfair, 
     deceptive, or predatory acts or practices exist, or are 
     likely to exist, from implementation of such programs.

     justified for the purposes of subparagraph (A), the Secretary 
     shall, after receiving views and comments furnished with 
     respect to the proposed standard, determine whether the 
     benefits of the standard exceed its burdens by, to the

     charges for, or maintenance expenses of, the products which 
     are likely to result from the imposition of the standard;

     prescribe an amended standard under this subparagraph if the 
     Secretary finds (and publishes such finding) that interested 
     persons have established by a preponderance of the evidence 
     that a standard is likely to result in the unavailability in 
     the United States in any product type (or class) of 
     performance characteristics (including reliability), 
     features, sizes, capacities, and volumes that are 
     substantially the same as those generally available in the 
     United States at the time of the Secretary's finding. The 
     failure of some types (or classes) to meet this criterion 
     shall not affect the Secretary's determination of whether to 
     prescribe a standard for other types or classes.

     provide continuing coordination and assistance of utility 
     efforts to speed the introduction of highly efficient 
     appliances and equipment;
       (C) describe proposals for the development and production 
     of highly efficient appliances and equipment which would be 
     jointly funded by the Secretary of Energy, utilities, and 
     appliance manufacturers;
       (D) identify methods by which Federal purchase of highly 
     efficient appliances and equipment could assist the early 
     introduction of such appliances and equipment and also assist 
     utility and manufacturer efforts; and
       (E) identify such additional budget authorizations as may 
     be needed to carry out the plan.

       ``(b) With respect to natural gas which is imported into 
     the United States from a nation with which there is in effect 
     a free trade agreement requiring national treatment for trade 
     in natural gas, and with respect to liquefied natural gas--
       ``(1) the importation of such natural gas shall be treated 
     as a `first sale' within the meaning of section 2(21) of the 
     Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978;
       ``(2) neither the Commission nor a State may prohibit or 
     condition the importation of such natural gas, nor treat such 
     natural gas while it is within the United States differently 
     than domestic natural gas, nor permit any pipeline 
     transporting such natural gas to maintain rates, terms, or 
     conditions of service for such natural gas different from 
     those it maintains for domestic natural gas; and
       ``(3) for purposes of subsection (a), the importation of

     transportation rates and charges of an interstate pipeline 
     (as such term is defined in section 2(15) of the Natural Gas 
     Policy Act of 1978), the Commission shall base any 
     determination of whether rates and charges are just and 
     reasonable on costs and other relevant factors relating 
     directly to an interstate pipeline's transportation function, 
     and not on any factors relating to the natural gas being 
     transported by the interstate pipeline or on rates and 
     charges with respect to pipelines not subject to the 
     Commission's jurisdiction.''.

     SEC. 202. OPTIONAL CERTIFICATES FOR CERTAIN PROJECTS.

     natural-gas company upon completion of any proposed 
     construction or extension, the Commission shall issue an 
     optional certificate of public convenience and necessity for 
     the construction, extension, and operation of, and 
     transportation of natural gas through, open access facilities 
     constructed after the date of enactment of this subparagraph, 
     without requiring a hearing or further proof that the public 
     convenience and necessity would be served by those 
     facilities, if the requirements of this subparagraph are met.
       ``(II) Conversion of existing facilities.--Upon application 
     by any natural-gas company, or person which will become a 
     natural-gas company upon completion of any proposed 
     conversion or operation, the Commission shall issue an 
     optional certificate of public convenience and necessity for 
     the conversion and operation of existing facilities which are 
     not subject to rate or abandonment regulation, and the 
     transportation of natural gas through such facilities, 
     provided that such facilities were not constructed under 
     section 311 of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 or this 
     section, without requiring a hearing or further proof that 
     the public convenience and necessity would be served by those 
     facilities, if the requirements of this subparagraph are met.
       ``(III) Nonexclusivity.--An optional certificate issued 
     under subclause (I) or (II) shall be nonexclusive and 
     nonprejudicial to any other authorization under this Act or 
     the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978.

       ``(ii) Conditions.--

       ``(I) Impairment of adequate service.--The Commission shall 
     issue an optional certificate under this subparagraph unless 
     it finds that the construction, extension, conversion, and 
     operation of facilities will impair any certificate holder's 
     ability to render adequate service to its customers.
       ``(II) Environmental and other requirements.--The 
     Commission shall attach to an optional certificate issued 
     under this subparagraph conditions respecting the 
     environment, including mitigation measures and alternate 
     routes, and other conditions to ensure compliance with 
     requirements under environmental and other applicable laws.
       ``(III) Stand alone pricing.--No costs or expenses incurred 
     in relation to the construction, extension, conversion, and 
     operation of facilities, or the sale of facilities, covered 
     by an optional certificate issued under this subparagraph may 
     be included in the rates and charges of any other rate 
     schedule filed with the Commission under this Act or the 
     Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978.
       ``(IV) No crediting.--The Commission shall not require the 
     holder of an optional certificate issued under this 
     subparagraph to credit any revenues received in relation to 
     providing transportation under such certificate, or the sale 
     of facilities authorized under such certificate, to any other 
     rate filed with the Commission under this Act or the Natural 
     Gas Policy Act of 1978.
       ``(V) Prevention of delay.--Notwithstanding section 15(a) 
     of this Act, the holder of an optional certificate issued 
     under this subparagraph shall not participate in any 
     proceedings (other than those it may initiate) for the 
     construction, extension, conversion, or operation of 
     facilities that would serve the same market served by the 
     facilities authorized by the holder's optional certificate. 
     The Commission may waive this subclause if the participation 
     of the holder of an optional certificate will help expedite a 
     proceeding.
       ``(VI) Separate books.--The holder of an optional 
     certificate issued under this subparagraph shall maintain a 
     separate system of books, accounts, and records for the 
     facilities and transportation authorized under such 
     certificate.

       ``(iii) Negotiation rule.--The Commission shall ensure that 
     all agreements between the certificate holder and all 
     persons, including affiliates of the certificate holder, 
     contracting for transportation utilizing facilities 
     authorized in an optional certificate issued under this 
     subparagraph are negotiated at arms length (or in the case of 
     affiliates, the substantial equivalent thereof).
       ``(iv) Public notice.--The Commission shall provide 
     reasonable public notice of the application for the issuance 
     of an optional certificate under this subparagraph, including 
     notification at the time of application to the State 
     commission for the State in which the pipeline facility will 
     be located.
       ``(v) Rates required to be public.--Not later than 60 days 
     before the commencement of transportation pursuant to an 
     optional certificate issued under this subparagraph, or at 
     such time as the Commission may find necessary and 
     reasonable, the certificate holder shall file with the 
     Commission copies of all agreements between the certificate 
     holder and all persons, including affiliates of

[[Page 848]]

     the certificate holder, contracting for transportation 
     utilizing facilities authorized in the optional certificate. 
     After the commencement of such transportation, the 
     certificate holder shall file with the Commission, not later 
     than 10 days before the initiation of any new transportation 
     utilizing such facilities, a copy of any new or amended 
     agreement entered into by the certificate holder and any 
     person, including any affiliate of the certificate holder, 
     contracting for transportation utilizing such facilities. The 
     Commission shall keep and make available for public 
     inspection all agreements required to be filed with the 
     Commission pursuant to this clause.
       ``(vi) Negotiated rates deemed lawful; exception.--The 
     rates, charges, classifications, or practices for the 
     transportation of natural gas contained in the agreements 
     filed with the Commission pursuant to clause (v) shall be 
     deemed to be lawful within the meaning of sections 4 and 5 of 
     this Act. If, however, the Commission, after a hearing held 
     upon the petition of a person who has made a bona-fide offer 
     to enter into a contract for the transportation of natural 
     gas utilizing facilities authorized in an optional 
     certificate issued under this subparagraph, finds that the 
     failure to provide a requested rate, charge, classification, 
     or practice in connection with such requested transportation 
     is an unjustifiable, effective denial of access to such 
     facilities, the Commission shall determine the rates, 
     charges, classifications, or practices which allow access, 
     and shall fix the same by order. The Commission may not order 
     the requested transportation to the extent that it finds that 
     transportation capacity is not available. Unless the 
     Commission issues a final order on a petition filed pursuant 
     to this clause within 120 days after it is filed, such 
     petition shall be deemed denied.''.

     7(c)(1)(D) of this Act.''.

     the health of our Nation's economy and reducing greenhouse 
     gas emissions.
       (b) Development Plan and Production Goals.--Under the 
     program established under subsection (a), the Secretary, 
     before October 1, 1993, in consultation with the 
     Administrator, the Secretary of Transportation, the Secretary 
     of Agriculture, the Secretary of Commerce, and the heads of 
     other appropriate agencies, shall review appropriate 
     information and--
       (1) estimate the domestic and nondomestic production 
     capacity for replacement fuels and alternative fueled 
     vehicles needed to implement this section;
       (2) determine the technical and economic feasibility of 
     achieving the goals of producing sufficient replacement fuels 
     to replace, on an energy equivalent basis--
       (A) at least 10 percent by the year 2000; and
       (B) at least 30 percent by the year 2010,
     of the projected consumption of motor fuel in the United 
     States for each such year, with at least one half of such 
     replacement fuels being domestic fuels;
       (3) determine the most suitable means and methods of 
     developing and encouraging the production, distribution, and 
     use of replacement fuels and alternative fueled vehicles in a 
     manner that would meet the program goals described in 
     subsection (a);
       (4) identify ways to encourage the development of reliable 
     replacement fuels and alternative fueled vehicle industries 
     in the United States, and the technical, economic, and 
     institutional barriers to such development; and
       (5) determine the greenhouse gas emission implications of 
     increasing the use of replacement fuels, including an 
     estimate of the maximum feasible reduction in such emissions 
     from the use of replacement fuels.
     The Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register the 
     results of actions taken under this subsection, and provide 
     for an opportunity for public comment.

     annually thereafter, the Secretary, in consultation with the 
     Administrator, the Secretary of Transportation, and other 
     appropriate State and Federal officials, shall estimate for 
     the following calendar year--
       (1) the number of each type of alternative fueled vehicle 
     likely to be in use in the United States;
       (2) the probable geographic distribution of such vehicles;
       (3) the amount and distribution of each type of replacement 
     fuel; and
       (4) the greenhouse gas emissions likely to result from 
     replacement fuel use.
       (b) Information.--Beginning on October 1, 1994, the 
     Secretary shall annually require--
       (1) fuel providers to report to the Secretary on the amount 
     of each type of replacement fuel that such provider--
       (A) has provided in the previous calendar year; and
       (B) plans to provide for the following calendar year;
       (2) suppliers of alternative fueled vehicles to report to 
     the Secretary on the number of each type of alternative 
     fueled vehicle that such supplier--
       (A) has made available in the previous calendar year; and
       (B) plans to make available for the following calendar 
     year; and
       (3) such fuel providers and suppliers to provide the 
     Secretary information necessary to determine the greenhouse 
     gas emissions of the replacement fuels used, taking into 
     account the entire fuel cycle.

     SEC. 504. MODIFICATION OF GOALS; ADDITIONAL RULEMAKING 
                   AUTHORITY.

       (a) Examination of Goals.--Within 3 years after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, and periodically thereafter, the 
     Secretary shall examine the goals established under section 
     502(b)(2), in the context of the program goals stated in 
     section 502(a), to determine if the goals under section 
     502(b)(2), including the applicable percentage requirements 
     and dates, should be modified under this section.

[[Page 857]]

     The Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register the 
     results of each examination under this subsection and provide 
     an opportunity for public comment.
       (b) Modification of Goals.--If, after analysis of 
     information obtained in connection with carrying out 
     subsection (a) or section 502, or other information, and 
     taking into account the determination of technical and 
     economic feasibility made under section 502(b)(2), the 
     Secretary determines that goals described in section 
     502(b)(2), including the percentage requirements or dates, 
     are not achievable, the Secretary, in consultation with 
     appropriate Federal agencies, shall, by rule, establish goals 
     that are achievable, for purposes of this title. The 
     modification of goals under this section may include changing 
     the target dates specified in section 502(b)(2).
       (c) Additional Rulemaking Authority.--If the Secretary

     SEC. 507. FLEET REQUIREMENT PROGRAM.

       (a) Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.--Not later than 
     April 1, 1998, the Secretary shall publish an advance notice 
     of proposed rulemaking for the purpose of--
       (1) evaluating the progress toward achieving the goals of 
     replacement fuel use described in section 502(b)(2), as 
     modified under section 504;
       (2) identifying the problems associated with achieving 
     those goals;
       (3) assessing the adequacy and practicability of those 
     goals; and
       (4) considering all actions needed to achieve those goals.
     The Secretary shall provide for at least 3 regional hearings 
     on the advance notice of proposed rulemaking, with respect to 
     which official transcripts shall be maintained. The comment 
     period in connection with such advance notice of proposed 
     rulemaking shall be completed within 7 months after 
     publication of the advance notice.
       (b) Proposed Rule.--Before May 1, 1999, the Secretary shall 
     publish in the Federal Register a proposed rule for the rule 
     required under subsection (e), and shall provide for a public 
     comment period, with hearings, of not less than 90 days.
       (c) Determination.--(1) Not later than January 1, 2000, the 
     Secretary shall, through the rule required under subsection 
     (e), determine whether a fleet requirement program is 
     necessary under this section. Such a program shall be 
     considered necessary if the Secretary finds that--
       (A) the goal of replacement fuel use described in section 
     502(b)(2)(B), as modified under section 504, is not expected 
     to be actually achieved by 2010, or such other date as is 
     established under section 504, by voluntary means or pursuant 
     to this title or any other law without such a fleet 
     requirement program, taking into consideration the status of 
     the achievement of the interim goal described in section 
     502(b)(2)(A), as modified under section 504; and
       (B) such goal is practicable and actually achievable within 
     periods specified in section 502(b)(2), as modified under 
     section 504, through implementation of such a fleet 
     requirement program in combination with voluntary means and 
     the application of other programs relevant to achieving such 
     goals.
       (2) The rule under subsection (e) shall also modify the 
     goal described in section 502(b)(2)(B) and establish a 
     revised goal pursuant to section 504 if the Secretary 
     determines, based on the proceeding required under subsection 
     (a), that the goal in effect at the time of that proceeding 
     is inadequate or impracticable, and not expected to be 
     achievable. Such goal as modified and established shall be 
     applicable in making the findings described in paragraph (1). 
     If the Secretary modifies the goal under this paragraph, he 
     may also modify the percentages stated in subsection (e)(1) 
     and the minimum percentage stated in subsection (e)(2) shall 
     be not less than 10 percent.
       (d) Explanation of Determination That Fleet Requirement 
     Program is Not Necessary.--If the Secretary determines, based 
     on findings under subsection (c), that a fleet requirement 
     program under this section is not necessary, the Secretary 
     shall, by January 1, 2000, publish such determination in the 
     Federal Register as a final agency action, including an 
     explanation of the findings on which such determination is 
     made and the basis for the determination.
       (e) Fleet Requirement Program.--(1) If the Secretary 
     determines under subsection (c) that a fleet requirement 
     program is necessary, the Secretary shall, by January 1, 
     2000, by rule require that, except as provided in paragraph 
     (2), of the total number of new light duty motor vehicles 
     acquired for a non-Federal fleet--
       (A) 20 percent of the motor vehicles acquired in model year 
     2002;
       (B) 40 percent of the motor vehicles acquired in model year 
     2003;
       (C) 60 percent of the motor vehicles acquired in model year 
     2004; and
       (D) 70 percent of the motor vehicles acquired in model year 
     2005 and thereafter,
     shall be alternative fueled vehicles.
       (2) With respect to model years 2003 and thereafter, and so 
     long as the goal described in section 502(b)(2)(B), as 
     modified under section 504, will be achieved, the Secretary 
     may--
       (A) revise the percentage requirements under paragraph (1) 
     downward, except that under no circumstances shall the 
     percentage requirement for a model year be less than 20 
     percent; and
       (B) extend the time under paragraph (1) for up to 2 model 
     years.
       (3) Nothing in this section shall be construed as requiring 
     any fleet to acquire alternative fueled vehicles or 
     alternative fuels that do not meet the normal business 
     requirements and practices and needs of that fleet.
       (4) A vehicle operating only on gasoline that complies with 
     applicable requirements of the Clean Air Act shall not be 
     considered an alternative fueled vehicle under this 
     subsection, except that the Secretary, as part of the rule 
     under this subsection, may determine that such vehicle should 
     be treated as an alternative fueled vehicle for purposes of 
     this section, for fleets subject to part C of title II of the 
     Clean Air Act, taking into consideration the impact on energy 
     security and the goals stated in section 502(a).
       (f) Extension of Deadlines.--The Secretary may, by notice 
     published in the Federal Register, extend the deadlines 
     established under subsections (c), (d), and (e) for an 
     additional 90 days if the Secretary is unable to meet such 
     deadlines. Such extension shall not be reviewable.
       (g) Exemptions.--The rule issued under subsection (e) shall 
     provide for the prompt exemption by the Secretary, through a 
     simple and reasonable process, of any fleet from the 
     requirements of subsection (e), in whole or in part, if it is 
     demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Secretary that--
       (1) alternative fueled vehicles that meet the normal 
     requirements and practices of the principal business of the 
     fleet owner are not reasonably available for acquisition;
       (2) alternative fuels that meet the normal requirements and 
     practices of the principal business of the fleet owner are 
     not available in the area in which the vehicles are to be 
     operated; or
       (3) in the case of local government entities, the 
     application of such requirements would pose an unreasonable 
     financial hardship.
       (h) Substitution.--The rule issued under subsection (e) 
     shall permit a fleet owner to substitute, or enter into an 
     agreement with another party to substitute, an equal number 
     of alternative fueled vehicles not subject to the 
     requirements of subsection (a), including vehicles purchased 
     before the effective date of such rule, for vehicles 
     otherwise subject to subsection (a). Such substitute vehicles 
     shall be counted toward meeting the requirement established 
     under subsection (e). Such substitute vehicles may include 
     vehicles converted to alternative fueled vehicles in 
     accordance with applicable law, except that such substitute 
     vehicles may not be conversions of or replacements for diesel 
     fueled ve-

[[Page 858]]

     hicles. Nothing in this title or the amendments made by this 
     title shall require a fleet owner to acquire conversion 
     vehicles.
       (i) Minimum Fleet Size.--(1) Except as provided in 
     paragraph (2), fleet requirements established under this 
     section shall apply to fleets of 10 or more motor vehicles.
       (2) So long as the goal described in section 502(b)(2)(B), 
     as modified under section 504, will be achieved, the 
     Secretary may increase the minimum fleet size to which the 
     fleet requirement program under this section applies, except 
     that under no circumstances shall such minimum fleet size be 
     greater than 100.
       (j) Inclusion of Law Enforcement Vehicles and Urban 
     Buses.--(1) If the Secretary determines, by rule, that the 
     inclusion of fleets of law enforcement motor vehicles in the 
     fleet requirement program established under this section 
     would contribute to achieving the goal described in section 
     502(b)(2)(B), as modified under section 504, and the 
     Secretary finds that such inclusion would not hinder the use 
     of the motor vehicles for law enforcement purposes, the 
     Secretary may include such fleets in such program. The 
     Secretary may only initiate one rulemaking under this 
     paragraph.
       (2) If the Secretary determines, by rule, that the 
     inclusion of new urban buses, as defined by the Administrator 
     under title II of the Clean Air Act, in the fleet requirement 
     program established under this section would contribute to 
     achieving the goal described in section 502(b)(2)(B), as 
     modified under section 504, the Secretary may include such 
     buses in such program, if the Secretary finds that such 
     application will be consistent with energy security goals and 
     the needs and objectives of encouraging and facilitating the 
     greater use of such buses by the public, taking into 
     consideration the impact of such application on public 
     transit entities. The Secretary may only initiate one 
     rulemaking under this paragraph.
       (3) Rulemakings under paragraph (1) or (2) shall be 
     separate from a rulemaking under subsection (e), but may not 
     occur unless a rulemaking is carried out under subsection 
     (e).
       (k) Consideration of Factors.--In carrying out this 
     section, the Secretary shall take into consideration energy 
     security, costs, safety, lead time requirements, vehicle 
     miles traveled annually, effect on greenhouse gases, 
     technological feasibility, energy requirements, economic 
     impacts, including impacts on workers and the impact on 
     consumers and fleets, the availability of alternative fuels 
     and alternative fueled vehicles, and other relevant factors.
       (l) Consultation and Participation of Other Federal 
     Agencies.--In carrying out this section and section 506, the 
     Secretary shall consult with the Secretary of Transportation, 
     the Administrator, and other appropriate Federal agencies. 
     The Secretary shall provide for the participation of the 
     Secretary of Transportation and the Administrator in the 
     development and issuance of the rule under this section, 
     including the public process concerning such rule.

     SEC. 508. SECRETARY'S RECOMMENDATIONS TO CONGRESS.

       (a) Recommendations To Require Availability or 
     Acquisition.--If the Secretary determines, under section 
     507(d), that a fleet requirement program under section 507 is 
     not necessary, the Secretary shall so notify the Congress. If 
     the Secretary so notifies the Congress, the Secretary shall, 
     within 2 years after such notification and by rule, prepare 
     and submit to the Congress recommendations for requirements 
     or incentives for--
       (1) fuel providers to make available to the public 
     replacement fuels, including providing for the construction 
     or availability of related fuel delivery systems;
       (2) suppliers of alternative fueled vehicles to make 
     available to the public alternative fueled vehicles and to 
     ensure the availability of necessary related services; and
       (3) motor vehicle drivers to use replacement fuels,
     to the extent necessary to achieve such goals of replacement 
     fuel use and to ensure that the availability of alternative 
     fuels and of alternative fueled vehicles are consistent with 
     each other.
       (b) Fair and Equitable Application.--In carrying out this 
     section, the Secretary shall recommend the imposition of 
     requirements proportionately on all appropriate fuel 
     providers and purchasers of motor fuels and suppliers and 
     purchasers of motor vehicles in a fair and equitable manner.

     SEC. 509. EFFECT ON OTHER LAWS.

       (a) In General.--Nothing in this Act or the amendments made

                         TITLE VII--ELECTRICITY

     SEC. 701. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) in 1970, 24 percent of the fuel consumed in the United 
     States was used to produce

[[Page 860]]

     electricity; this figure rose to 36 percent in 1990 and is 
     projected to rise to more than 41 percent by 2010;
       (2) the energy efficiency and economic efficiency of the 
     electric utility sector and the energy security of the Nation 
     are best served by a regulatory structure providing for freer 
     wholesale market entry by independent power producers;
       (3) the Nation's environment is best served by the 
     encouragement and further development of independent power 
     producers, who account for 28 percent of new electric 
     generation capacity made available in the last 5 years in 
     conformity with the Clean Air Act new source performance 
     standards;
       (4) the protection of the public health, safety and 
     welfare, preservation of national security, and the proper 
     exercise of congressional authority under the Constitution to 
     regulate interstate commerce require a program to--
       (A) enhance the Nation's energy security by increasing the 
     potential supplies and suppliers of electric power,
       (B) allow for the broadest range of options for electric 
     utilities that need new increments of electric power,
       (C) build upon the established success of the cogeneration 
     and small power production provisions of title II of the 
     Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978,
       (D) increase the reliability of electric supplies in order 
     to bolster the Nation's reserves of electric power, which 
     have dwindled substantially during the last decade,
       (E) deliver electricity to consumers at the lowest 
     reasonable price, and
       (F) clarify existing Federal authority to ensure that 
     essential transmission services will be available to 
     facilitate independent power and other wholesale sales, while 
     maintaining reliability of service and protecting other 
     consumer interests.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are to--
       (1) ensure an adequate and economical supply of electricity 
     in the United States;
       (2) encourage greater use of abundant domestic resources 
     for generating electricity;
       (3) facilitate power plant ownership by those best able to 
     build power plants at the lowest reasonable cost;
       (4) encourage conservation of the fuel and capital 
     resources used to generate electricity; and
       (5) clarify Federal authority to ensure that transmission 
     service is provided on a nondiscriminatory basis.
       Subtitle A--Public Utility Holding Company Act Amendments

     SEC. 711. TREATMENT OF INDEPENDENT POWER PRODUCERS UNDER 
                   PUHCA.

       Title I of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 
     (15 U.S.C. 79 and following) is amended by adding the 
     following new section after section 31 and by redesignating 
     sections 32 and 33 as sections 33 and 34 respectively:

     ``SEC. 32. INDEPENDENT POWER PRODUCERS.

       ``(a) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--
       ``(1) Independent power producer.--The term `independent 
     power producer' means any person determined by the Federal 
     Energy Regulatory Commission, under rules promulgated by such 
     Commission, to be engaged directly and exclusively in the 
     business of owning or operating (or both owning and 
     operating) all or part of one or more eligible facilities. No 
     person shall be deemed to be an independent power producer 
     under this section unless such person has applied to the 
     Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for a determination 
     under this paragraph. The Federal Energy Regulatory 
     Commission shall notify the Securities and Exchange 
     Commission whenever a determination is made under this 
     paragraph that any person is an independent power producer.
       ``(2) Eligible facility.--
       ``(A) Wholesale generation facilities.--Except as provided 
     in subparagraph (B), the term `eligible facility' means a 
     facility, wherever located, that is used for the generation 
     of electric energy exclusively for sale at wholesale. Such 
     term includes interconnecting transmission facilities 
     necessary to effect such sale at wholesale.
       ``(B) Existing rate-based facilities not eligible.--No 
     facility which is included (in whole or in part), as of the 
     date of enactment of this section, in the rate base of a 
     State regulated electric utility, shall be deemed to be an 
     eligible facility notwithstanding any subsequent sale or 
     lease of such facility by such State regulated electric 
     utility.
       ``(b)  Exemptions For Independent Power Producers.--An 
     independent power producer (1) shall not be deemed to be an 
     electric utility company under section 2(a)(3) of this Act, 
     and (2) shall be exempt from all provisions of this Act other 
     than the provisions of this section. The preceding sentence 
     shall apply whether or not the independent power producer is 
     a subsidiary company, an affiliate, or an associate company 
     of a holding company.
       ``(c) Companies Exempt Under Section 3.--Notwithstanding 
     any other provision of this Act, a holding company that is 
     exempt under section 3 shall be permitted, without condition 
     or limitation under this Act, to acquire and maintain an 
     interest in the business of one or more independent power 
     producers.
       ``(d) Registered Holding Companies.--Notwithstanding any 
     other provision of this Act, a registered holding company 
     shall be permitted (without the need to apply for, or receive 
     approval from, the Commission, and otherwise without 
     condition under any other provision of this Act) to acquire 
     and hold the securities, or interest in the business, of one 
     or more independent power producers. Any interest in the 
     business of one or more independent power producers by a 
     registered holding company (regardless of where facilities 
     owned or operated by such independent power producers are 
     located) shall be considered to be--
       ``(1) consistent with the operation of an integrated public 
     utility system; and
       ``(2) reasonably incidental, or economically necessary or 
     appropriate, to the operation of an integrated public utility 
     system: Provided, That--
       ``(A) the creation or maintenance of any relationship 
     (including any service, sales, or construction contract) 
     with, and
       ``(B) the issuance of securities to finance an acquisition 
     of securities of, or the guarantee of securities of,
     an independent power producer, by a registered holding 
     company (or a subsidiary or affiliate company of a registered 
     company) shall remain subject to section 6 of this Act. In 
     determining whether to approve any action under subparagraphs 
     (A) and (B), the Commission shall not find that the security 
     is not reasonably adapted to the earning power or the 
     security structure of the registered company, or that the 
     transaction is an improper risk, unless the Commission first 
     finds that the issuance of the security or the transaction 
     would have a substantial adverse impact on the financial 
     integrity of the registered company system; and Provided 
     further, That in determining whether to approve the issuance 
     or sale of a security, or any other transactions by a 
     registered company or its subsidiaries other than those with 
     an independent power producer, the Commission shall not 
     consider the effect of the capitalization or earnings of any 
     subsidiary which is an independent power producer upon the 
     registered holding company system unless the transaction, if 
     approved, would have a substantial adverse impact on the 
     financial integrity of the registered holding company system. 
     The Commission may not make any determination or finding 
     under subparagraph (A) or (B) until the Commission has 
     promulgated regulations with respect to the actions which 
     would be considered, for purposes of this subsection, to have 
     a substantial adverse impact on the financial integrity of 
     the registered holding company system. Such regulations shall 
     ensure that the action has no adverse impact on any utility 
     subsidiary or its customers, or on the ability of State 
     commissions to protect such subsidiary or customers, and 
     shall take into account the amount and type of capital 
     invested in independent power producers, the ratio of such 
     capital to the total capital invested in utility operations, 
     the availability of books and records, and the financial and 
     operating experience of the registered holding company and 
     the independent power producer. The Commission shall 
     promulgate regulations under this subsection within 6 months 
     after the enactment of the Comprehensive National Energy 
     Policy Act.
       ``(e) Application of Act to Other Eligible Facilities.--
     After the date of the enactment of this section, in the case

     an order issued by the Commission under this Act shall not be 
     required for the purpose, or have the effect, of exempting 
     such person from treatment as an electric utility company 
     under section 2(a)(3) or exempting such person from any 
     provision of this Act.
       ``(f) State Authorities.--Nothing in this section shall be

     State commission to review the financial structure of any 
     independent power producer selling electric power to a State 
     regulated electric utility, the rates and charges of which 
     are subject to the jurisdiction of such State commission. 
     Nothing in this section shall be construed to eliminate or 
     reduce any existing State jurisdiction to define or regulate

     all that follows down through ``qualifying small power 
     producer,'' and inserting ``, or any other person generating 
     electric energy for sale for resale'' in paragraph (1).

     SEC. 722. AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 211 OF FEDERAL POWER ACT.

       Section 211 of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 824j) is 
     amended as follows:
       (1) The first sentence of subsection (a) is amended to read 
     as follows: ``Any electric utility, Federal power marketing 
     agency, or any other person generating electric energy for 
     sale for resale, may apply to the Commission for an order 
     under this subsection requiring a transmitting utility to 
     provide transmission services (including any enlargement of 
     transmission capacity necessary to provide such services) to 
     the applicant.''.
       (2) In the second sentence of subsection (a), strike ``the 
     Commission may'' and all that follows and insert ``the 
     Commission shall issue such order if it finds that such order 
     meets the requirements of section 212, would maintain the 
     reliability of any electric utility system to which the order 
     applies, would otherwise be in the public interest, and 
     would--
       ``(1) conserve a significant amount of energy,
       ``(2) significantly promote the efficient use of facilities 
     and resources,
       ``(3) promote competition in the wholesale power market,

     siting laws.''.

     SEC. 723. TRANSMISSION SERVICES.

       (a) Amendments to Section 212.--Section 212 of the Federal 
     Power Act is amended as follows:
       (1) Strike subsections (a) and (b) and insert the 
     following:
       ``(a) Limitations.--No order under section 211 or 213 shall 
     require any transmitting utility to provide transmission 
     services which will (1) unduly impair the reliability of any 
     transmitting utility, public utility, or electric utility, 
     affected by the order; (2) unduly impair the ability of any 
     such utility to render adequate services to its customers; or 
     (3) unduly economically disadvantage the customers of the 
     transmitting utility subject to the order. Whenever the 
     Commission finds that any proposed order under section 211 or 
     213 would have any effect referred to in the preceding 
     sentence, the Commission shall issue an order requiring the 
     transmitting utility to provide so much of the proposed 
     wholesale transmission services as would not have any such 
     effect.
       ``(b) Charges for Wholesale Transmission Services.--(1) An 
     order under section 211 or 213 shall require the transmitting 
     utility subject to the order to provide wholesale 
     transmission services at rates and charges which permit the 
     recovery by such utility of all prudent costs incurred in 
     connection with the transmission services and necessary 
     associated services, including an appropriate share of the 
     costs of any enlargement of transmission facilities (plus a 
     reasonable rate of return on investment, as appropriate) as 
     determined by the Commission. Orders under section 211 or 213 
     which provide for tariffs of general applicability shall 
     include in such tariffs, rates, terms, and conditions for 
     firm and nonfirm, and long and short-term transmission 
     services. Such rates, terms, and conditions shall not be 
     unjust, unreasonable, unduly discriminatory or preferential.
       ``(2) Rates, charges, terms, and conditions applicable to 
     transmission service ordered under sections 211 or 213, to 
     the extent practicable, based on the facts and circumstances 
     present at the time, shall be designed to--
       ``(A) compensate native load customers for legitimate and 
     verifiable economic costs of providing the transmission 
     service,
       ``(B) provide the lowest reasonable transmission rates for 
     the transmission service, and
       ``(C) prevent the collection of monopoly rents by the 
     transmitting utility and promote the efficient transmission 
     and generation of electricity.
     Such rates, charges, terms, and conditions shall account for 
     any benefits to the transmission system of providing the 
     transmission service, and a reasonable balance among 
     subparagraphs (A), (B), and (C).''.
       (2) Subsection (e) is amended to read as follows:
       ``(e) Savings Provisions.--(1) No provision of section 210, 
     211, 213, or 215 shall be treated as requiring any person to 
     utilize the authority of section 210, 211, 213, or 215 in 
     lieu of any other authority of law, or as limiting, 
     impairing, or otherwise affecting any authority of the 
     Commission under any other provision of law.
       ``(2) Sections 210, 211, 213, 214, and 215, and this 
     section, shall not be construed to modify, impair, or 
     supersede the operation of the antitrust laws. For purposes 
     of this section, the term `antitrust laws' has the meaning 
     given in subsection (a) of the first sentence of the Clayton 
     Act, except that such term includes section 5 of the Federal 
     Trade Commission Act to the extent that such section relates 
     to unfair methods of competition.''.
       (3) Add the following new subsections at the end thereof:
       ``(g) Prohibition on Mandatory Retail Wheeling.--No order 
     issued under this Act shall require the mandatory 
     transmission of electric energy directly to an ultimate 
     consumer.
       ``(h) Laws Applicable to Federal Columbia River 
     Transmission System.--(1) The Commission shall have authority 
     pursuant to section 210, section 211, this section, section 
     213, and section 214 to (A) order the Administrator of the 
     Bonneville Power Administration to provide transmission 
     service and (B) establish the terms and conditions of such 
     service. In applying such sections to the Federal Columbia 
     River Power System, the Commission shall assure that--
       ``(i) the provisions of otherwise applicable Federal laws 
     shall continue in full force and effect and shall continue to 
     be applicable to the system; and
       ``(ii) the rates for the transmission of electric power on 
     the system shall be governed only by such otherwise 
     applicable provisions of law and not by any provision of 
     section 210, section 211, this section, section 213, or 
     section 214, except that no rate for the transmission of 
     power on the system shall be unjust, unreasonable, or unduly 
     discriminatory or preferential, as determined by the 
     Commission.
       ``(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act with 
     respect to the procedures for the determination of terms and 
     conditions for transmission service--
       ``(A) when the Administrator of the Bonneville Power 
     Administration either (i) in response to a written request 
     for specific transmission service terms and conditions does 
     not offer the requested terms and conditions, or (ii) 
     proposes to establish terms and conditions of general 
     applicability for transmission service on the Federal 
     Columbia River Transmission System, then the Administrator 
     may provide opportunity for a hearing and, in so doing, 
     shall--
       ``(I) give notice in the Federal Register and state in such 
     notice the written explanation of the reasons why the 
     specific terms and conditions for transmission services are 
     not being offered or are being proposed;
       ``(II) adhere to the procedural requirements of paragraphs 
     (1) through (3) of section 7(i) of the Pacific Northwest 
     Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 
     839(i)(1) through (3)), except that the

[[Page 862]]

     hearing officer shall, unless the hearing officer becomes 
     unavailable to the agency, make a recommended decision to the 
     Administrator that states the hearing officer's findings and 
     conclusions, and the reasons or basis thereof, on all 
     material issues of fact, law, or discretion presented on the 
     record; and
       ``(III) make a determination, setting forth the reasons for 
     reaching any findings and conclusions which may differ from 
     those of the hearing officer, based on the hearing record, 
     consideration of the hearing officer's recommended decision, 
     section 211 and this section, as amended by the Comprehensive 
     National Energy Policy Act, and the provisions of law as 
     preserved in this section; and
       ``(B) if application is made to the Commission under 
     section 211 for transmission service under terms and 
     conditions different than those offered by the Administrator, 
     or following the denial of a request for transmission service 
     by the Administrator, and such application is filed within 60 
     days of the Administrator's final determination and in 
     accordance with Commission procedures, the Commission shall--
       ``(i) in the event the Administrator has conducted a 
     hearing as herein provided for (I) accord parties to the 
     Administrator's hearing the opportunity to offer for the 
     Commission record materials excluded by the Administrator 
     from the hearing record, (II) accord such parties the 
     opportunity to submit for the Commission record comments on 
     appropriate terms and conditions, (III) afford those parties 
     the opportunity for a hearing if and to the extent that the 
     Commission finds the Administrator's hearing record to be 
     inadequate to support a decision by the Commission, and (IV) 
     establish terms and conditions for or deny transmission 
     service based on the Administrator's hearing record, the 
     Commission record, section 211 and this section, as amended 
     by the Comprehensive National Energy Policy Act, and the 
     provisions of law as preserved in this section, or
       ``(ii) in the event the Administrator has not conducted a 
     hearing as herein provided for, determine whether to issue an 
     order for transmission service in accordance with section 211 
     and this section, including providing the opportunity for a 
     hearing.
       ``(3) Notwithstanding those provisions of section 313(b) of 
     this Act (16 U.S.C. 825l) which designate the court in which 
     review may be obtained, any party to a proceeding concerning 
     transmission service sought to be furnished by the 
     Administrator of the Bonneville Power Administration seeking 
     review of an order issued by the Commission in such 
     proceeding shall obtain a review of such order in the United 
     States Court of Appeals for the Pacific Northwest, as that 
     region is defined by section 3(14) of the Pacific Northwest 
     Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 
     839a(14)).
       ``(4) To the extent the Administrator of the Bonneville 
     Power Administration cannot be required under section 211 or 
     213, as a result of the Administrator's other statutory 
     mandates, either to (A) provide transmission service to an 
     applicant which the Commission would otherwise order, or (B) 
     provide such service under rates, terms, and conditions which 
     the Commission would otherwise require, the applicant shall 
     not be required to provide similar transmission services to 
     the Administrator or to provide such services under similar 
     rates, terms, and conditions.
       ``(5) The Commission shall not issue any order under 
     section 210, section 211, this section, section 213, or 
     section 214 requiring the Administrator of the Bonneville 
     Power Administration to provide transmission service if such 
     an order would impair the Administrator's ability to provide 
     such transmission service to the Administrator's power and 
     transmission customers in the Pacific Northwest, as that 
     region is defined in section 3(14) of the Pacific Northwest 
     Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 
     839a(14)), as is needed to assure adequate and reliable 
     service to loads in that region.
       ``(i) Equitability Within Territory Restricted Electric 
     Systems.--With respect to an electric utility which is 
     prohibited by Federal law from being a source of power 
     supply, either directly or through a distributor of its 
     electric energy, outside an area set forth in such law, no 
     order issued under section 211 may require such electric 
     utility (or a distributor of such electric utility) to 
     provide transmission services to another entity if the 
     electric energy to be transmitted will be consumed within the 
     area set forth in such Federal law, unless the order is in 
     furtherance of a sale of electric energy to that electric 
     utility: Provided, however, That the foregoing provision 
     shall not apply to any area served at retail by an electric 
     transmission system which was such a distributor on the date 
     of enactment of this subsection and which before October 1, 
     1991, gave its notice of termination under its power supply 
     contract with such electric utility.
       ``(j) Sham Transactions.--No order may be issued under 
     section 211 or 213 to transmit electric energy if the 
     applicant does not have a contractual right to purchase or 
     sell such electric energy, or does not have a contractual 
     right to, or an ownership interest in, a generation facility, 
     or would not utilize transmission or distribution facilities 
     owned or controlled by it to deliver such electric energy to 
     retail consumers, or is not a State, political subdivision 
     thereof, or any agency or instrumentality thereof, authorized 
     by State law to generate, transmit, or distribute electric 
     energy.''.
       (b) Voluntary Provision of Transmission Services.--Title II 
     of the Federal Power Act is amended by adding the following 
     new section after section 212:

     ``SEC. 213. VOLUNTARY PROVISION OF TRANSMISSION SERVICES.

       ``(a) Covered Sales.--For purposes of this section, a sale 
     of electric energy shall be considered a `covered sale of 
     electric energy' if the sale is--
       ``(1) subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission; and
       ``(2) pursuant to rates and charges which are not based on 
     the costs of providing such energy, including a reasonable 
     rate of return,
     except that no economy sale or sale which results from 
     economic dispatch performed by a regional power pool 
     arrangement, each as defined by the Commission, shall be 
     treated as a covered sale of electric energy and no sale of 
     electric energy by a qualifying small power production 
     facility or qualifying cogenerator shall be treated as a 
     covered sale of electric energy.
       ``(b) Utilities To Provide Wholesale Transmission 
     Services.--Whenever--
       ``(1) any order is issued permitting any transmitting 
     utility or any affiliate thereof to make any covered sale of 
     electric energy, or
       ``(2) any order is issued under section 203 permitting a 
     transmitting utility or any affiliate thereof to merge or 
     consolidate with any other public utility,
     the Commission shall issue an order requiring each such 
     transmitting utility (and each affiliate thereof which 
     provides wholesale transmission service in a service area 
     directly affected by the covered sale, merger, or 
     consolidation, as determined by the Commission), to provide 
     wholesale transmission services in accordance with this 
     section and section 212. An order under this section shall 
     include tariffs of general applicability for the transmission 
     services to be provided and shall include such other terms 
     and conditions as necessary pursuant to section 212.
       ``(c) Savings Clause.--Nothing in this section shall 
     restrict or prevent any person from seeking interconnection 
     pursuant to section 210 or transmission service pursuant to 
     section 211.''.

     SEC. 724. INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS.

       Part II of the Federal Power Act is amended by adding the 
     following new section after section 213:

     ``SEC. 214. INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS.

       ``(a) Requests for Wholesale Transmission Services.--
     Whenever any electric utility, Federal power marketing 
     agency, or any other person generating electric energy for 
     sale for resale requests a transmitting utility to provide 
     wholesale transmission services and requests specific rates 
     and charges, and other terms and conditions, unless the 
     transmitting utility agrees to provide such services in 
     accordance with such rates and charges and other conditions, 
     the transmitting utility shall, within 30 days of its receipt 
     of the request, provide such person with a written 
     explanation of the reasons why such wholesale transmission 
     services are not being offered in accordance with such rates 
     and charges and other conditions.
       ``(b) Transmission Capacity and Constraints.--Not later 
     than 1 year after the enactment of this section, the 
     Commission shall promulgate a rule requiring that the 
     information be submitted annually to the Commission by 
     transmitting utilities regarding:
       ``(1) existing and planned transmission facilities;
       ``(2) forecasts of load growth (firm and nonfirm);
       ``(3) existing and planned transmission arrangements;
       ``(4) actual line losses;
       ``(5) reliability assessments; and
       ``(6) such other matters related to electric power 
     transmission as the Commission finds necessary.
     Such information shall be adequate to enable the Commission

     and 211, and to inform potential transmission customers, 
     State regulatory authorities, and the public of available 
     transmission capacity and potential constraints.''.

     SEC. 725. SALES BY INDEPENDENT POWER PRODUCERS.

       Part II of the Federal Power Act is amended by adding the 
     following new section after section 214:

     ``SEC. 215. SALES BY INDEPENDENT POWER PRODUCERS.

       ``(a) Unlawful Agreements.--The Commission shall determine, 
     after notice and opportunity for hearing, whether any 
     agreement for the sale of electric energy by an independent 
     power producer would result in the granting of any undue 
     preference or advantage or would result in any undue 
     prejudice or disadvantage. Any such agreement that would have 
     such an effect shall be unlawful.
       ``(b) Denial of Transmission Access.--It shall be treated 
     as an undue prejudice or disadvantage for any transmitting 
     utility which purchases electric energy from an independent 
     power producer to unreasonably deny or restrict access by 
     potential competing sellers to nondiscriminatory transmission 
     services.
       ``(c) Competitive Sales.--No agreement for the sale of 
     electric energy by an independent power producer which--
       ``(1) results from a competitive process established by a 
     State regulatory authority, and
       ``(2) satisfies such requirements as the Commission may, by 
     rule, establish to ensure that genuine competition exists,

     shall be treated as unlawful under subsection (a) unless an 
     aggrieved person establishes that such agreement would result 
     in the granting of any undue preference or advantage or would 
     result in any undue prejudice or disadvantage.
       ``(d) State Authorities.--Nothing in this section shall be 
     construed to eliminate or reduce any existing State 
     jurisdiction to define or regulate electric utilities.''.

     SEC. 726. PENALTIES.

       (a) Existing Penalties Not Applicable to Transmission 
     Provisions.--Sections 315 and 316 of the Federal Power Act 
     are each amended by adding the following at the end thereof:

     SEC. 804. SITE CHARACTERIZATION.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) In 1987, Congress directed the Department of Energy to 
     characterize the Yucca Mountain site to determine its 
     suitability for the disposal of high-level radioactive waste 
     and spent nuclear fuel.
       (2) The State of Nevada has delayed, and could continue to 
     delay for an unacceptable length of time, the processing of 
     environmental permits required for the commencement of site 
     characterization activities at Yucca Mountain.
       (3) The Department of Energy will need at least 18 permits 
     from the State of Nevada during the site characterization 
     process.
       (4) If the Department of Energy is to determine, in a 
     timely fashion, whether the Yucca Mountain site is suitable 
     for the disposal of high-level radioactive waste and spent 
     nuclear fuel, the State permitting process must be expedited.
       (b) Permits and Enforcement.--Section 113 of the Nuclear 
     Waste Policy Act of 1982 (42 U.S.C. 10133) is amended by 
     adding at the end the following new subsection:

     a State or local government) shall be required in order for 
     the Secretary to conduct site characterization activities at 
     the Yucca Mountain site.
       ``(2) Enforcement.--
       ``(A) In general.--Except as provided in subparagraph (B), 
     the State of Nevada may bring an action to enforce any 
     Federal or State standard requirement, criteria, or 
     limitation applicable to the conduct of site characterization 
     activities at the Yucca Mountain site. Such an action may be 
     brought only in the United States District Court for the 
     District of Nevada.
       ``(B) Requirements that result in prohibition of site 
     characterization.--A State standard, requirement, criteria, 
     or limitation (including any State siting standard or 
     requirement) that could effectively result in the prohibition 
     of site characterization activities shall not apply unless 
     each of the following conditions is met:
       ``(i) The State standard, requirement, criteria, or 
     limitation is of general applicability and was adopted by 
     formal means.
       ``(ii) The State standard, requirement, criteria, or 
     limitation was adopted on the basis of hydrologic, geologic, 
     or other relevant scientific considerations and was not 
     adopted for the purpose of precluding site characterization 
     activities for reasons unrelated to protection of human 
     health and the environment.

       ``(C) No new authority.--The provisions of this subsection 
     shall not be construed to grant to the State of Nevada any 
     authority to enforce a Federal or State standard, 
     requirement, criteria, or limitation that the State of Nevada 
     did not have on the date of the enactment of the 
     Comprehensive National Energy Policy Act.''.
       (c) Capacity of Repository at Yucca Mountain.--
       (1) In general.--Section 114(d) of the Nuclear Waste Policy 
     Act of 1982 (42 U.S.C. 10134(d)) is amended by striking the 
     second sentence and all that follows through the end of the 
     subsection and inserting the following: ``The Secretary shall 
     determine, by rule, the volume of high-level radioactive 
     waste and spent nuclear fuel that may be emplaced in any 
     repository to be constructed at Yucca Mountain.''.
       (2) Conforming amendment.--The caption of section 114(d) of 
     the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (42 U.S.C. 10134(d)) is

     SEC. 1310. STUDY OF UTILIZATION OF COAL COMBUSTION 
                   BYPRODUCTS.

       (a) Definition.--As used in this section, the term ``coal 
     combustion byproducts'' means the residues from the 
     combustion of coal including ash, slag, and flue gas 
     desulfurization materials.
       (b) Study and Report to Congress.--(1) The Secretary shall 
     conduct a detailed and comprehensive study on the 
     institutional, legal, and regulatory barriers to increased 
     utilization of coal combustion byproducts by potential 
     governmental and commercial users. Such study shall identify 
     and investigate barriers found to exist at the Federal, 
     State, or local level, that may have limited or may have the 
     foreseeable effect of limiting the quantities of coal 
     combustion byproducts that are utilized. In conducting this 
     study, the Secretary shall consult with other departments and 
     agencies of the Federal Government, appropriate State and 
     local governments, and the private sector.
       (2) Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of 
     this Act, the Secretary shall submit a report to the Congress 
     containing the results of the study required by paragraph (1) 
     and the Secretary's recommendations for action to be taken to 
     increase the utilization of coal combustion byproducts. At a 
     minimum, such report shall identify actions that would 
     increase the utilization of coal combustion byproducts in--
       (A) bridge and highway construction;
       (B) stabilizing wastes;
       (C) procurement by departments and agencies of the Federal 
     Government and State and local governments; and
       (D) federally funded or federally subsidized procurement by 
     the private sector.

     SEC. 1311. CALCULATION OF AVOIDED COST.

       Nothing in section 210 of the Public Utility Regulatory 
     Policies Act of 1978 (Public Law 95-617) requires a State 
     regulatory authority or nonregulated electric utility to 
     treat a cost reasonably identified to be incurred or to have 
     been incurred in the construction or operation of a facility 
     or a project which has been selected by the Department of 
     Energy and provided Federal funding pursuant to the Clean 
     Coal Program authorized by Public Law 98-473 as an 
     incremental cost of alternative electric energy.

     SEC. 1312. COALBED METHANE RECOVERY.

       (a) Study of Barriers.--The Secretary, in consultation with 
     the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, 
     shall conduct a study of technical, economic, financial, 
     legal, regulatory, institutional, or other barriers to 
     coalbed methane recovery, and of policy options for 
     eliminating such barriers. Within two years after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit a report to 
     the Congress detailing the results of such study.
       (b) Study of Environmental and Safety Aspects.--The 
     Secretary, in consultation with the Director of the Bureau of 
     Mines and the Administrator of the Environmental Protection 
     Agency, shall conduct a study of the environmental and safety 
     aspects of flaring coalbed methane liberated from coal mines. 
     Within two years after the date of enactment of this Act, the 
     Secretary shall submit a report to the Congress detailing the 
     results of such study.
       (c) Information Dissemination.--Beginning one year after 
     the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary, in 
     consultation with the Administrator of the Environmental 
     Protection Agency, shall disseminate to the public 
     information on state-of-the-art coalbed methane recovery 
     techniques, including information on costs and benefits.
       (d) Commercialization Program.--The Secretary shall 
     establish a coalbed methane recovery commercial application 
     program, which shall include a joint venture program, 
     emphasizing gas enrichment technology, with at least 50 
     percent of the costs thereof being provided by the private 
     sector. Such program shall address--
       (1) gas enrichment technologies for enriching medium-
     quality methane recovered from coal mines to pipeline 
     quality;
       (2) technologies to use mine ventilation air in nearby 
     power generation facilities, including gas turbines, internal 
     combustion engines, or other coal fired powerplants;
       (3) technologies for cofiring methane recovered from mines, 
     including methane from ventilation systems and degasification 
     systems, together with coal in conventional or clean coal 
     technology boilers; and
       (4) other technologies for producing and using methane from 
     coal mines that the Secretary considers appropriate.

     SEC. 1313. COALBED METHANE EMISSION CREDITS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that the recovery of 
     coalbed methane gas in conjunction with coal mining 
     operations will have a beneficial effect in promoting energy 
     effi-

[[Page 877]]

     ciency, promoting wise use of energy resources, and reducing 
     greenhouse gas emissions and should, therefore, be encouraged 
     by developing a coalbed methane emissions baseline, and 
     assuring credit for such recovery in the future.
       (b) Coalbed Methane Reporting.--Following promulgation of 
     regulations under subsection (c), any owner or operator of an 
     underground coal mine producing more than 100,000 tons of 
     coal in any calendar year after 1987 may, for such calendar 
     year and any calendar year thereafter in which coal is 
     produced from such mine, report to the Secretary the 
     aggregate annual volume of coalbed methane gas recovered, 
     flared, vented, or otherwise emitted into the environment 
     during that year. Such annual report shall specify the volume 
     of such gas which was flared, used as fuel on site, or sold 
     into a natural gas pipeline.
       (c) Regulations.--Within 9 months after the date of 
     enactment of this section, the Secretary, in consultation 
     with the Director of the Bureau of Mines and the 
     Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, shall 
     establish by regulation the methods and procedures to be used 
     by persons reporting under subsection (b) to measure the 
     annual volume of coalbed methane gas recovered, flared, 
     vented or otherwise emitted into the environment. To the 
     maximum extent practicable, the Secretary should seek to rely 
     on existing monitoring and estimation methods and procedures 
     (including but not limited to techniques developed for 
     compliance with the Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969) 
     and place priority on selecting techniques which maximize 
     accuracy and minimize the cost to the operator.
       (d) Credits.--For purposes of any greenhouse gas reduction 
     program under any future law which provides credits for 
     reductions in coalbed methane gas emissions, each person 
     submitting annual reports to the Secretary under subsection 
     (b) regarding the aggregate annual volume of coalbed methane 
     gas recovered, flared, or vented, or otherwise emitted into 
     the environment may receive credits for reductions in coalbed 
     methane gas emissions achieved by such person after calendar 
     year 1987 and reported under subsection (b). No credit for 
     recovery of coalbed methane gas from any coalbed shall be 
     valid until mining commences in such coalbed.
       (e) DOE Reports.--Using data submitted under this section 
     and data obtained from the Bureau of Mines, the Secretary 
     shall publish annual reports containing the Secretary's 
     estimate for each coal mine of the aggregate annual volume of 
     coalbed methane gas recovered, flared, vented, or otherwise 
     emitted into the environment.

     SEC. 1314. OWNERSHIP OF COALBED METHANE.

       (a) Federal Lands and Mineral Rights.--In the case of any 
     deposit of coalbed methane where the United States is the 
     owner of the surface estate or where the United States has 
     transferred the surface estate but reserved the subsurface 
     mineral estate, the Secretary of the Interior (hereinafter 
     referred to in this section as the ``Secretary'') shall act 
     in lieu of the State Board under this section and shall have 
     all powers and authorities necessary to take such action.
       (b) Affected States.--Not later than 180 days after the 
     date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary, with the 
     participation of the Secretary of Energy, shall publish in 
     the Federal Register a list of States--
       (1) in which the Secretary, with the participation of the 
     Secretary of Energy, determines that disputes, uncertainty, 
     or litigation exist, regarding the ownership of coalbed 
     methane gas;
       (2) in which the Secretary, with the participation of the 
     Secretary of Energy, determines that development of 
     significant deposits of coalbed methane gas is being impeded 
     by such existing disputes, uncertainty, or litigation 
     regarding ownership of such coalbed methane;
       (3) which do not have in effect a statutory or regulatory 
     procedure or existing case law permitting and encouraging the 
     development of coalbed methane gas within that State; and
       (4) which do not have extensive development of coalbed 
     methane gas.
     The Secretary, with the participation of the Secretary of 
     Energy, shall revise such list of Affected States from time 
     to time. Based on new case law or legislation enacted in the 
     State after the enactment of this Act, any Affected State may 
     petition the Secretary, with the participation of the 
     Secretary of Energy, for a revision to remove the State from 
     the list. Until the Secretary, with the participation of the 
     Secretary of Energy, publishes a different list, the States 
     of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, 
     Indiana, and Illinois shall be the Affected States, effective 
     on the date of the enactment of this Act. States which have 
     current development of coalbed methane gas and shall not be 
     included on the Secretary's list of Affected States are 
     Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Wyoming, Utah, Virginia, 
     Washington, Mississippi, and Alabama.
       (c) State Agencies for Affected States.--(1) In order to 
     provide for the expeditious and economical development of 
     deposits of coalbed methane gas in Affected States, within 
     360 days after a State becomes an Affected State, each such 
     Affected State shall establish or designate one or more State 
     agencies or instrumentalities to administer the provisions of 
     this section. Such agencies or instrumentalities shall 
     hereinafter in this section be referred to as the ``State 
     Board'' for the Affected State. The State shall authorize the 
     State Board to have such powers and duties and to promulgate 
     such regulations as may be necessary to carry out this 
     section in that State. A person concerned with preserving the 
     integrity of workable coal seams who is knowledgeable in 
     underground coal mining methods and a person knowledgeable in 
     oil and gas development activities shall be appointed to the 
     State Board.
       (2) If an Affected State has not established or designated 
     a State Board as provided in this subsection within the 360-
     day period specified in paragraph (1), the Secretary, with 
     the participation of the Secretary of Energy, shall be 
     treated as the State Board for such State for purposes of 
     this section. In any such case, the Secretary, with the 
     participation of the Secretary of Energy, shall have such 
     powers and duties and shall promulgate such regulations as 
     may be necessary to carry out this section in that State.
       (3) In implementing this section, the State Board or the 
     Secretary, with the participation of the Secretary of Energy, 
     as the case may be, shall--
       (A) consider existing and future coal mining plans,
       (B) preserve the mineability of coal seams, and
       (C) provide for the prevention of waste and maximization of 
     recovery of coal and coalbed methane gas in a manner which 
     will protect the rights of all entities owning an interest in 
     such coalbed methane resource.
       (d) Spacing.--Except where State law in an Affected State 
     contains existing spacing requirements regarding the minimum 
     distance between coalbed methane wells and the minimum 
     distance of a coalbed methane well from a property line, the 
     State Board for each Affected State shall establish such 
     requirements within 90 days after the date on 
     which the State Board is established or designated.
       (e) Spacing Units.--Applications to establish spacing units 
     for the drilling and operation of coalbed methane gas wells 
     may be filed by any entity claiming a coalbed methane 
     ownership interest within a proposed spacing unit. Upon 
     receipt and approval of an application, the State Board shall 
     issue an order establishing the boundaries of the coalbed 
     methane spacing unit. Spacing units shall generally be 
     uniform in size.
       (f) Development Under Pooling Arrangement.--Following 
     issuance of an order establishing a spacing unit under 
     subsection (e), and pursuant to an application for pooling 
     filed by the entity claiming a coalbed methane ownership 
     interest and proposing to drill a coalbed methane gas well, 
     the State Board shall hold a hearing to consider the 
     application for pooling and shall, if the criteria of this 
     section are met, issue an order allowing the proposed pooling 
     of acreage within the designated spacing unit for purposes of 
     drilling and production of coalbed methane from the spacing 
     unit. The pooling order shall not be issued before notice or 
     a reasonable and diligent effort to provide notice has been 
     made to each entity which may claim an ownership interest in 
     the coalbed methane gas within such spacing unit and each 
     such entity has been offered an opportunity to appear before 
     the State Board at the hearing. Upon issuance of a pooling 
     order, each owner or claimant of an ownership interest shall 
     be allowed to make one of the following elections:
       (1) An election to sell or lease its coalbed methane 
     ownership interest to the unit operator at a rate determined 
     by the State Board as set forth in the pooling order.
       (2) An election to become a participating working interest 
     owner by bearing a share of the risks and costs of drilling, 
     completing, equipping, gathering, operating (including all 
     disposal costs), plugging and abandoning the well, and 
     receiving a share of production from the well.
       (3) An election to share in the operation of the well as a 
     nonparticipating working interest owner by relinquishing its 
     working interest to participating working interest owners 
     until the proceeds allocable to its share equal 300 percent 
     of the share of such costs allocable to its interest. 
     Thereafter, the nonparticipating working interest owner shall 
     become a participating working interest owner.

     The pooling order shall designate a unit operator who shall 
     be authorized to drill and operate the spacing unit. The 
     pooling order shall provide that any entity claiming an 
     ownership interest in the coalbed methane within such spacing 
     unit which does not make an election under the pooling order 
     shall be deemed to have leased its coalbed methane interest 
     to the unit operator under such terms and conditions as the 
     pooling order may provide. No pooling order may be issued 
     under this paragraph for any spacing unit if all entities 
     claiming an ownership interest in the coalbed methane in the 
     spacing unit have entered into a voluntary agreement 
     providing for the drilling and operation of the coalbed 
     methane gas well for the spacing unit.
       (g) Escrow Account.--(1) Each pooling order issued under 
     subsection (f) shall provide for the establishment of an 
     escrow account into which the payment of costs and proceeds 
     attributable to the conflicting interests shall be deposited 
     and held for the interest of the claimants as follows:
       (A) Each participating working interest owner, except for 
     the unit operator, shall deposit in the escrow account its 
     proportionate share of the costs allocable to the ownership 
     interest claimed by each such participating

[[Page 878]]

     working interest owner as set forth in the pooling order 
     issued by the State Board.
       (B) The unit operator shall deposit in the escrow account 
     all proceeds attributable to the conflicting interests of 
     lessees, plus all proceeds in excess of ongoing operational 
     expenses (including reasonable overhead costs) attributable 
     to conflicting working interests.
       (2) The State Board shall order payment of principal and 
     accrued interest from the escrow account to all legally 
     entitled entities within 30 days of receipt by the State 
     Board of notification of the final legal determination of 
     entitlement or upon agreement of all entities claiming an 
     ownership interest in the coalbed methane gas. Upon such 
     final determination--
       (A) each legally entitled participating working interest 
     owner shall receive a proportionate share of the proceeds 
     attributable to the conflicting ownership interest;
       (B) each legally entitled nonparticipating working interest 
     owner shall receive a proportionate share of the proceeds 
     attributable to the conflicting ownership interest, less the 
     cost of being carried as a nonparticipating working interest 
     owner (as determined by the election of the entity under the 
     applicable pooling order);
       (C) each entity leasing (or deemed to have leased) its 
     coalbed methane ownership interest to the unit operator shall 
     receive a share of the royalty proceeds (as set out in the 
     applicable pooling order) attributable to the conflicting 
     interests of lessees; and
       (D) the unit operator shall receive the costs contributed 
     to the escrow account by each legally entitled participating 
     working interest owner.
     The State Board shall enact rules and regulations for the 
     administration and protection of funds delivered to the 
     escrow accounts.
       (h) Approval of State Board.--No entity may drill any well 
     for the production of coalbed methane gas from a coalbed in 
     an Affected State unless the drilling of such well has been 
     approved by the State Board for that State.
       (i) Consent of Affected Coal Operator.--No operator of a 
     coalbed methane well may stimulate a coal seam or known coal 
     bearing geologic strata without the written consent of each 
     entity which is operating, or who at the time of application 
     for a drilling permit, has by virtue of ownership or a coal 
     lease, the right to operate, a coal mine in a coal seam 
     situated--
       (1) within a minimum horizontal distance--
       (A) of 1,500 feet from the well; or
       (B) as determined by the State Board, based on evaluation 
     of the maximum length of fracture producible in the local 
     strata; or
       (2) within a minimum vertical distance--
       (A) of 200 feet of the known coal bearing geologic strata 
     to be stimulated; or
       (B) as determined by the State Board, based on evaluation 
     of the maximum height and depth of fracture producible in the 
     local strata.
     The consent required under this subsection shall in no way be 
     deemed to impair, abridge, or affect any contractual rights 
     or objections arising out of a coalbed methane gas contract 
     or coalbed methane gas lease in existence as of the effective 
     date of this section between the coalbed methane operator and 
     the coal operator, and the existence of such lease or 
     contractual agreement and any extensions or renewals of such 
     lease shall be deemed to fully meet the requirements of this 
     section.
       (j) Notice and Objection.--(1) The State Board shall not 
     approve the drilling of any coalbed methane well unless the 
     unit operator has notified each entity which is operating, or 
     has the right to operate, a coal mine in any portion of the 
     coalbed that would be affected by such well within the 
     distances referred to in subsection (i). Any notified entity 
     may object to the drilling of such well within 30 days after 
     receipt of a notice. Upon receipt of a timely objection to 
     the drilling of any coalbed methane gas well submitted by a 
     notified entity, the State Board may refuse to approve the 
     drilling of the well based on any of the following:
       (A) The proposed activity, due to its proximity to any coal 
     mine opening, shaft, underground workings, or to any proposed 
     extension of the coal mine, would adversely affect any 
     operating, inactive or abandoned coal mine, including any 
     coal mine already surveyed and platted but not yet being 
     operated.
       (B) The proposed activity would not conform with a coal 
     operator's development plan for an existing or proposed 
     operation.
       (C) There would be an unreasonable interference from the 
     proposed activity with present or future coal mining 
     operations, including the ability to comply with other 
     applicable laws and regulations.
       (D) The presence of evidence indicating that the proposed 
     drilling activities would be unsafe, taking into 
     consideration the dangers from creeps, squeezes or other 
     disturbances due to the extraction of coal.
       (E) The proposed activity would unreasonably interfere with 
     the safe recovery of coal, oil and gas.
       (2) In the event the State Board does not approve the 
     drilling of a coalbed methane well pursuant to paragraph (1), 
     the State Board shall consider whether such drilling could be 
     approved if the unit operator modifies the proposed 
     activities to take into account any of the following:
       (A) The proposed activity could instead be reasonably done 
     through an existing or planned pillar of coal, or in close 
     proximity to an existing well or such pillar of coal, taking 
     into consideration surface topography.
       (B) The proposed activity could instead be moved to a 
     mined-out area, below the coal outcrop or to some other 
     feasible area.
       (C) The unit operator agrees to a drilling moratorium of 
     not more than two years in order to permit completion of coal 
     mining operations.
       (D) The practicality of locating the proposed spacing unit 
     or well on a uniform pattern with other spacing units or 
     wells.
       (k) Plugging.--All coalbed methane wells drilled after 
     enactment of this Act that penetrate coal seams with 
     remaining reserves shall provide for subsequent safe mining 
     through the well in accordance with standards prescribed by 
     the State Board for the State in which the well is located, 
     in consultation with any Federal and State agencies having 
     authority over coal mine safety.
       (l) Notice and Objection by Other Parties.--The State Board 
     shall not approve the drilling of any coalbed methane well 
     unless such well complies with the spacing and other 
     requirements established by the State Board and each of the 
     following:
       (1) The unit operator of such well has notified, or has 
     made a reasonable and diligent effort to notify, all entities 
     claiming ownership of coalbed methane to be drained by such 
     well and provided an opportunity to object in accordance with 
     requirements established by the State Board.
       (2) Where conflicting interests exist, an order under 
     subsection (f) establishing pooling requirements has been 
     issued.
     The notification requirements of this subsection shall be 
     additional to the notification referred to in subsection (j). 
     The State Board shall establish the conditions under which 
     entities claiming ownership of coalbed methane may object to 
     the drilling of a coalbed methane well.
       (m) Venting for Safety.--Nothing in this section shall be 
     construed to prevent or inhibit the entity which has the 
     right to develop and mine coal in any mine from venting 
     coalbed methane gas to ensure safe mine operations.
       (n) Definitions.--As used in this section--
       (1) The term ``Affected State'' means a State listed by the 
     Secretary, with the participation of the Secretary of Energy, 
     under subsection (b).
       (2) The term ``coalbed methane gas'' means occluded natural 
     gas produced (or which may be produced) from coalbeds and 
     rock strata associated therewith.
       (3) The term ``unit operator'' means the entity designated 
     in a pooling order to develop a spacing unit by the drilling 
     of one or more wells on the unit.
       (4) The term ``nonparticipating working interest owner'' 
     means a gas or oil owner of a tract included in a spacing 
     unit which elects to share in the operation of the well on a 
     carried basis by agreeing to have its proportionate share of 
     the costs allocable to its interest charged against its share 
     of production of the well in accordance with subsection 
     (f)(3).
       (5) The term ``participating working interest owner'' means 
     a gas or oil owner which elects to bear a share of the risks 
     and costs of drilling, completing, equipping, gathering, 
     operating (including any and all disposal costs) plugging, 
     and abandoning a well on a spacing unit and to receive a 
     share of production from the well equal to the proportion 
     which the acreage in the spacing unit it owns or holds under 
     lease bears to the total acreage of the spacing unit.

     SEC. 1315. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.

       There are authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary 
     such sums as may be necessary for each of the fiscal years 
     1992 through 1998, to conduct no less than 2 additional 
     solicitations similar in scope and amount of Federal 
     costsharing as that provided by Public Law 101-121 for clean 
     coal technology demonstrations to be conducted pursuant to 
     this title.

     SEC. 1316. ESTABLISHMENT OF DATA BASE AND STUDY OF 
                   TRANSPORTATION RATES.

       (a) Data Base.--The Secretary shall review the information 
     currently collected by the Federal Government and shall 
     determine whether information on transportation rates for 
     rail and pipeline transport of domestic coal, oil, and gas 
     during the period of January 1, 1988, through December 31, 
     1997, is reasonably available. If he determines that such 
     information is not reasonably available, the Secretary shall 
     establish a data base containing, to the maximum extent

                   IMPROVEMENTS FROM THE APPLICATION OF CLEAN COAL 
                   TECHNOLOGIES.

       (a) The Secretary, in consultation with the Administrator 
     of the Environmental Protection Agency, shall promulgate 
     regulations within 18 months after the date of enactment of 
     this section to establish baseline emissions of carbon 
     dioxide from existing utility sources that apply clean coal 
     technologies. For purposes of the preceding sentence, 
     baseline emissions for sources subject to title IV of the Act 
     entitled ``An Act to amend the Clean Air Act to provide for 
     attainment and maintenance of health protective national 
     ambient air quality standards, and for other purposes.'', 
     enacted November 15, 1990 (Public Law 101-549), shall be 
     based on data collected pursuant to section 821 of such Act.
       (b) The Secretary, in consultation with the Administrator 
     of the Environmental Protection Agency, shall promulgate 
     regulations within 18 months after the date of enactment of 
     this section to establish methodologies to measure efficiency 
     improvements from the application of clean coal technologies 
     to existing utility sources for the purpose of establishing 
     credit for such improvements. Such regulations shall 
     establish criteria to determine the heat rate of the unit, 
     expressed in mmBtus per kilowatt hour, in the baseline year 
     to be determined by the Administrator. Credits for any given 
     year shall be determined as follows:
       (1) If the kilowatt hours generated by the unit applying 
     clean coal technology are greater than or equal to the 
     kilowatt hours generated by the unit before such technologies 
     are applied, credits shall be determined by calculating the 
     tons of carbon dioxide emitted in the baseline year and 
     subtracting from that amount the number determined by 
     multiplying the tons of carbon dioxide emitted in the 
     baseline year and the ratio of the heat rate of the unit 
     after application of clean coal technologies to the heat rate 
     of the unit prior to application of such technologies in the 
     baseline year.
       (2) If the kilowatt hours generated by the unit applying 
     clean coal technologies in that year are less than the 
     kilowatt hours generated in the baseline year, credits shall 
     be determined by multiplying the tons of carbon dioxide 
     emitted by the unit after application of such technologies 
     and the ratio of the heat rate of the unit prior to 
     application of such technologies to the heat rate of the unit 
     after application of such technologies and subtracting from 
     that product the tons of carbon dioxide emitted by the unit 
     in that year.
       (c) Following the promulgation of regulations under 
     subsections (a) and (b) any utility source may report to the 
     Secretary baseline emissions and credits, including 
     technology transfer incentive credits, for purposes of 
     establishing credit for such efficiency improvements in any 
     greenhouse gas reduction program enacted after the date of 
     enactment of this Act.

     SEC. 1604. ASSESSMENT OF ALTERNATIVE POLICY MECHANISMS FOR 
                   ADDRESSING GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS.

       Within 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the 
     President shall transmit a report to the Congress containing 
     a comparative assessment of alternative policy mechanisms for 
     reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Such assessment shall, at 
     a minimum, include an analysis, for both the short run (5 to 
     10 years) and the long run (20 to 30 years) of the social, 
     economic, energy, envi- 
     ronmental, and agricultural costs and benefits, and the 
     practicality, of each of the following approaches:
       (1) Various systems of emission caps, including caps for 
     all greenhouse gases and all sources of greenhouse gases as 
     well as caps for only carbon dioxide emissions from new major 
     sources.
       (2) Federal efficiency or greenhouse gas emission 
     standards, including power plant efficiency standards,

     date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary, in consultation 
     with the Interagency Coordinating Council established under 
     section 1601, shall establish by rule a national accounting 
     system for voluntary reductions of greenhouse gases. Such 
     rule shall include--
       (1) baseline greenhouse gas emission estimates, calculated, 
     except as provided in subsection (d), as an annual average 
     over the period of 1986 through 1990;
       (2) opportunities for entities to receive official 
     certification of net greenhouse gas emission reductions 
     relative to the baseline for purposes of receiving credit 
     against any future Federal requirements that may apply to 
     greenhouse gas emissions;
       (3) the establishment of equivalency measures for 
     reductions applicable to different greenhouse gases, taking 
     into account differential radiative activity and atmospheric 
     lifetimes, or applicable to different time periods;
       (4) accounting of any net reductions in greenhouse gas 
     emissions achieved in other countries by United States 
     entities;
       (5) provisions to ensure that no emissions reduction be 
     credited more than once;
       (6) provisions to ensure that an entity's baseline includes 
     all greenhouse gas emissions from all sources under the 
     control of such entity;
       (7) annual certification, only after the greenhouse gas 
     reduction or the greenhouse gas fixation has occurred;
       (8) provisions that ensure that reductions of greenhouse 
     gas emissions which are specifically required under this 
     title, or any other Federal law in effect as of the date of 
     enactment of this Act, shall not be certified;
       (9) provisions which permit a person to file with the 
     Secretary for verification such documentation as the 
     Secretary considers appropriate for the certification of 
     greenhouse gas emission reductions generated by such person;
       (10) a requirement for a report to be published by the 
     Secretary annually describing the amount of greenhouse gas 
     emission reductions certified in each calendar year; and
       (11) authorization and guidelines for a State agency to 
     certify greenhouse gas emission reductions if the person 
     providing such reductions establishes to the satisfaction of 
     such State agency that such reductions comply with the 
     requirements of this section, with the Secretary having, for 
     a 90-day period following the receipt of such certification, 
     the authority to review such State certification prior to 
     registration in the National Greenhouse Gas Reduction 
     Registry established under subsection (f).
       (b) Voluntary Reductions To Receive Credit.--At a minimum, 
     the rule issued 
     under subsection (a) shall provide for the certification of 
     voluntary greenhouse gas emission reductions, relative to the 
     baseline, through--
       (1) fuel-switching to fuels which produce less greenhouse 
     gas emissions from major sources;
       (2) carbon fixation through planting new forests, improving 
     forest management practices, preserving old growth forests, 
     or planting other vegetation, but not for cutting and 
     replanting old growth forests;
       (3) the manufacture of vehicles with reduced greenhouse gas 
     emissions, based on the statistically expected lifetime and 
     use of the vehicles sold;
       (4) the manufacture of appliances with improved efficiency, 
     based on the statistically expected lifetime and use of the 
     appliances sold;
       (5) energy conservation measures, other than those which 
     are exclusively information or educational in nature, and 
     other than appliance efficiency improvements certified under 
     paragraph (4);
       (6) methane recovery from municipal landfills, wastewater 
     treatment facilities, and sewage sludge facilities;
       (7) greenhouse gas emission reductions attributable solely 
     to the construction or operation of cogeneration facilities 
     that replace existing industrial boilers or other thermal 
     power produced by cogeneration;
       (8) the manufacture of dedicated alternative fueled 
     vehicles which only use fuels which, on a life cycle basis, 
     produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions than gasoline;
       (9) greenhouse gas emission reductions attributable solely 
     to powerplant heat rate improvements through the repowering 
     or replacement of an existing powerplant;
       (10) greenhouse gas emission reductions attributable solely 
     to replacement of specific, identifiable, existing utility 
     sources with renewable energy sources, under the meaning of 
     title VII of this Act;
       (11) the capture and destruction of chlorofluorocarbons in 
     the United States and other nations; and
       (12) such other actions and methods as the Secretary 
     determines would result in net greenhouse gas emission 
     reductions.
       (c) Fuel-Switching Rules.--For purposes of applying 
     subsection (b)(1), the rule issued under subsection (a) shall 
     establish procedures for calculating fuel use, in mmBtus, and 
     the number of pounds of greenhouse gases emitted per mmBtu 
     for the fuel or, in the case of a mix of fuels, the weighted 
     average amount of greenhouse gases emitted per mmBtu. For 
     purposes of determining the amount of greenhouse gases 
     emitted per mmBtu for each fuel or mix of fuels, such rule 
     shall take into account the application of technological 
     controls which reduce the amount of greenhouse gases emitted 
     from the combustion of such fuels. Greenhouse gas emission 
     reductions may be certified under this section only for 
     reductions measured by--
       (1) calculating the difference between the number of pounds 
     of greenhouse gases per mmBtu of the fuel or, in the case of 
     a mix of fuels, the weighted average of the greenhouse gases 
     amount of per mmBtu, in the baseline period and in the year 
     in which the switch occurs; and
       (2) multiplying the amount calculated under paragraph (1) 
     by the total number of mmBtus consumed by the source in the 
     year in which the switch occurs.
       (d) Base Period.--For purposes of certifications under 
     subsection (b)(2), the base period for calculations shall be 
     the 30-year period immediately preceding the date of 
     enactment of this Act.
       (e) Separate Certification Rules.--The rule issued under 
     subsection (a) shall separately provide for certification 
     rules with re-

[[Page 882]]

     spect to each of the 4 types of carbon fixation referred to 
     in subsection (b)(2).
       (f) National Greenhouse Gas Reduction Registry.--The rule 
     issued under subsection (a) shall create a National 
     Greenhouse Reduction Registry for the purpose of tracking 
     greenhouse gas emission reductions. At a minimum, such rule 
     shall require the identification of persons who have obtained 
     certification of greenhouse gas emission reductions under 
     this section, their addresses, amounts reduced and the source 
     of the greenhouse gas emission reductions.

     procedural changes relating to oil pipeline rates which the 
     Commission determines are necessary to avoid unnecessary 
     regulatory costs and delays and for which additional 
     legislative authority may be necessary.
       (d) Withdrawal of Tariffs and Complaints.--
       (1) Withdrawal of tariffs.--If an oil pipeline tariff which 
     is filed under part I of the Interstate Commerce Act and 
     which is subject to investigation is withdrawn--
       (A) any proceeding with respect to such tariff shall be 
     terminated;
       (B) the previous tariff rate shall be reinstated; and
       (C) any amounts collected under the withdrawn tariff rate 
     which are in excess of the previous tariff rate shall be 
     refunded.
       (2) Withdrawal of complaints.--If a complaint which is

     practicable, the Commission shall establish appropriate 
     alternative dispute resolution procedures, including required 
     negotiations and voluntary arbitration, early in an oil 
     pipeline rate proceeding as a preferred method to 
     adjudication in resolving disputes relating to the rate. Any 
     proposed rates derived from implementation of such procedures 
     shall be considered by the Commission on an expedited basis 
     for approval.

     SEC. 1803. PROTECTION OF CERTAIN EXISTING RATES.

       (a) Rates Deemed Just and Reasonable.--Except as provided 
     in subsection (b)--
       (1) any rate in effect for the 365-day period ending on the 
     date of the enactment of this Act shall be deemed to be just 
     and reasonable (within the meaning of section 1(5) of the 
     Interstate Commerce Act); and
       (2) any rate in effect on the 365th day preceding the date 
     of such enactment shall be deemed to be just and reasonable 
     (within the meaning of such section 1(5)) regardless of 
     whether or not, with respect to such rate, a new rate has 
     been filed with the Commission during such 365-day period;
     if the rate so in effect has not been subject to protest, 
     investigation, or complaint during such 365-day period.
       (b) Changed Circumstances.--No person may file a complaint 
     under section 13 of the Interstate Commerce Act against a 
     rate deemed to be just and reasonable under subsection (a) 
     unless evidence is presented to the Commission which 
     establishes that a substantial change has occurred after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act--
       (1) in the economic circumstances of the oil pipeline which 
     were a basis for the rate; or
       (2) in the nature of the services provided which were a 
     basis for the rate.
     If the Commission determines pursuant to a proceeding 
     instituted as a result of such complaint that the rate is not 
     just and reasonable, the rate shall not be deemed to be just 
     and reasonable. Any tariff reduction or refunds that may 
     result as an outcome of such a complaint shall be prospective 
     from the date of the filing of the complaint.
       (c) Limitation Regarding Unduly Discriminatory or 
     Preferential Tariffs.--Nothing in this section shall prohibit 
     any aggrieved person from filing a complaint under section 13 
     or section 15(l) of the Interstate Commerce Act challenging 
     any tariff provision as unduly discriminatory or unduly 
     preferential.

     two full years after the last year of augmented seeding, 
     fertilizing, irrigation, or other work in order to assure 
     compliance with the applicable standards, except in those 
     areas or regions of the country where the annual average 
     precipitation is twenty-six inches or less, then the 
     operator's assumption of responsibility and liability will be 
     extended for a period of five full years after the last year 
     of augmented seeding, fertilizing, irrigation, or other work 
     in order to assure compliance with the applicable 
     standards.''.
       (c) Definitions.--Section 701 of the Surface Mining Control 
     and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1291) is amended by

     following new paragraphs at the end thereof:
       ``(33) the term `unanticipated event or condition' as used 
     in section 510(e) means an event or condition encountered in 
     a remining operation that was not contemplated by the 
     applicable surface coal mining and reclamation permit; and
       ``(34) the term `lands eligible for remining' means those 
     lands that would otherwise be eligible for expenditures under

     provided under section 519. In the event the bond or deposit 
     for a surface coal mining operation on lands eligible for 
     remining is forfeited, funds available under this title may 
     be used if the amount of such bond or deposit is not 
     sufficient to provide for adequate reclamation or abatement, 
     except that if conditions warrant the Secretary shall 
     immediately exercise his authority under section 410.''.

     regulations, establishing environmental protection 
     performance and reclamation standards, and separate permit 
     systems applicable to operations for the on-site reprocessing 
     of abandoned coal refuse and operations for the removal of 
     abandoned coal refuse on lands that would otherwise be 
     eligible for expenditure under section 404 and section 
     402(g)(4) of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act 
     of 1977.
       (2) The standards and permit systems referred to in 
     paragraph (1) shall distinguish between those operations 
     which reprocess abandoned coal refuse on-site, and those 
     operations which completely remove an abandoned coal refuse 
     from a site for the direct use of such coal refuse, or for 
     the reprocessing of such coal refuse, at another location. 
     Such standards and permit systems shall be premised on the 
     distinct differences between operations for the on-site 
     reprocessing, and operations for the removal, of abandoned 
     coal refuse and other types of surface coal mining 
     operations.
       (3) The Secretary may devise a different standard than any 
     of those set forth in section 515 and section 516 of the 
     Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977, and 
     devise a separate permit system, if he determines, on a 
     standard-by-standard basis, that a different standard may 
     facilitate the on-site reprocessing, or the removal, of 
     abandoned coal refuse in a manner that would provide the same 
     level of environmental protection as under section 515 and 
     section 516.
       (4) Not later than 30 days prior to the publication of the 
     proposed regulations referred to in this subsection, the 
     Secretary shall submit a report to the Committee on Interior 
     and Insular Affairs of the United States House of 
     Representatives, and the Committee on Energy and Natural 
     Resources of the United States Senate containing a detailed 
     description of any environmental protection performance and 
     reclamation standards, and separate permit systems, devised 
     pursuant to this subsection.

     SEC. 2506. FEDERAL COAL ROYALTY STUDY.

       (a) Royalty Study.--(1) The Secretary of the Interior shall 
     conduct a study of current Federal coal royalty rates for 
     surface mined and underground mined coal, and the valuation 
     methodology of such coal, for the purposes of assessing, for 
     each of the following, whether the current Federal coal 
     royalty system:
       (A) Creates competitive inequities among the Federal coal 
     producing regions and States.
       (B) Suppresses coal production in certain Federal coal 
     producing regions and States.
       (C) Results in a loss of mineral receipts to the Federal 
     Government and to State government.
       (D) Causes inefficiencies in Federal valuation, audit and 
     collection activities.
       (2) The Secretary shall compare the alternative royalty 
     systems identified in subsection (b) with the current system 
     and make separate findings, on each of the following, with 
     respect to whether any such alternative royalty system would:
       (A) Mitigate any competitive inequities among the Federal 
     coal producing regions and States.
       (B) Increase coal production in certain Federal coal 
     producing regions and States.
       (C) Result in an increase in mineral receipts to the 
     Federal government and to State governments.
       (D) Provide for a more efficient valuation, audit and 
     collection program.
       (b) Alternatives.--(1) For the purposes of making the 
     comparison referred to in subsection (a)(2), the Secretary 
     shall examine each of the following alternative coal royalty 
     systems based on:
       (A) The value of coal measured in cents per million British 
     thermal units.
       (B) A flat cents-per-ton rate.
       (C) Any other methodology the Secretary deems appropriate 
     for the purpose of the study.
       (2) For the purposes of making the comparison referred to 
     in subsection (a)(2), the Secretary shall examine the 
     justification for establishing a separate royalty rate for 
     lignite coal and a separate valuation methodology for lignite 
     coal.
       (c) Notice.--Within 60 days after the date of enactment of 
     this Act, the Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register 
     a notice detailing the scope and methodology proposed to be 
     used in the study, and after opportunity for public comment, 
     publish a final notice on the scope and methodology that will 
     be used in the study.
       (d) Report.--The Secretary shall report the findings of the 
     study, and recommendations on alternative Federal royalty 
     systems, to the President and the Congress within 2 years 
     after the date of enactment of this Act.

     the time of acquisition. The provisions of section 6 of this 
     Act shall apply to all receipts derived from such leases 
     where such receipts are due and payable to the United States 
     under the lease in the same manner as such provisions apply 
     to receipts derived from leases issued under the authority of 
     this Act. For purposes of this section, the term `existing 
     mineral lease' means any lease in existence at the time land 
     is acquired by the United States.''.
       (c) Clarification.--Section 7 of the Act of August 18,

     lands or the resources of such lands.''.
       (2) Section 501 of such Act is amended as follows:
       (A) Insert in subsection (a), after ``public lands'' the 
     following: ``(as defined in section 103(e) of this Act)''.

     Power Act, including part 1 thereof (41 Stat. 1063, 16 U.S.C. 
     791a-825r).''.
       (b) Energy-Related Rights-of-Way.--Section 501 of the 
     Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 is amended by 
     adding at the end thereof a new subsection, as follows:
       ``(d)(1) Under this section, a right-of-way on public lands 
     or lands within the National Forest System may be granted or 
     issued for the construction or operation of a non-Federal 
     system (including any dam, diversion, or appurtenant project 
     works) for the generation, transmission, or distribution of 
     electrical energy only if the Secretary or the Secretary of 
     Agriculture, as appropriate, finds that the use of such lands 
     for the construction or operation of the facilities involved 
     in such system--
       ``(A) is consistent with applicable management plans for 
     such lands, and will not interfere with or be inconsistent 
     with the protection and utilization of such lands for the 
     purposes for which such lands are managed; and
       ``(B) will not result in substantial degradation of natural 
     or cultural resources, scenic or recreational values, 
     watershed resources, or fish and wildlife populations or 
     habitat affected by the proposed system or affected by the 
     cumulative effects of the proposed system and other uses of 
     such lands or adjacent lands.
       ``(2)(A) The Secretary concerned shall provide for early 
     and continued public participation in connection with 
     consideration of an application for a right-of-way under this 
     subsection by making a copy of such application available for 
     public inspection in the vicinity of the affected lands for 
     at least 90 days prior to acting on the application and by 
     conducting at least 1 public meeting thereon at a time and 
     location likely to assure public participation.
       ``(B) All information, including documents and testimony, 
     related to the concerned Secretary's decision on an 
     application under this subsection shall be available for 
     public inspection in regional or local offices of the Bureau 
     of Land Management or Forest Service, and at the same time as 
     such Secretary decides whether or not to grant or issue the 
     requested right-of-way, such Secretary shall publish in the 
     Federal Register an appropriate document stating and 
     explaining the basis for such decision.
       ``(3)(A) If facilities of a system described in paragraph 
     (1) would be located on lands under the administrative 
     jurisdiction of a single agency of the United States, that 
     agency shall have the principal role in preparing any 
     analysis, under applicable law, of the effects of 
     construction and operation of such facilities on the 
     environment. If such facilities would be located on lands 
     under the administrative jurisdiction of more than 1 such 
     agency, each such agency involved may enter into an agreement 
     among themselves in order to avoid duplication of 
     responsibility or effort, to expedite the consideration of 
     applications for rights-of-way or other rights with respect 
     to use of such lands, to issue joint regulations in 
     appropriate cases, and to assure that decisions about such 
     system are based on a comprehensive review of possible 
     effects on Federal lands and resources.
       ``(B) Any analysis described in subparagraph (A) of this 
     paragraph shall be prepared by an agency of the United States 
     with administrative jurisdiction over affected lands, or by 
     an independent contractor selected by such an agency, and not 
     by the applicant for a right-of-way under this subsection or 
     by any other party selected or reimbursed by such applicant.
       ``(C) Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as 
     precluding an agency of the United States from requiring an 
     applicant for a right-of-way under this section or any other 
     party to provide any necessary information in connection with 
     an analysis described in subparagraph (A) or in connection 
     with decisions about any other aspect of a system described 
     in paragraph (1) of this subsection.''.
       (c) Effective Date and Implementation.--(1) The amendments 
     to the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 made by 
     this section shall not apply to any project for which the 
     land-management agency has completed a final review of an 
     application for a right-of-way prior to the enactment of this 
     section.
       (2) No later than 1 year after the date of enactment of 
     this Act, the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture 
     shall issue joint regulations to:
       (A) establish procedures for appropriate public 
     participation in decisions relating to applications for 
     rights-of-way of the type covered by section 501(d) of the 
     Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976; and
       (B) establish procedures to coordinate, so far as possible, 
     the timing of review by such Secretaries regarding such 
     applications with

     date of enactment of this Act, will inundate any land within 
     the external boundaries of any unit of the National Park

     project developed by the National Park Service that the 
     Secretary of the Interior determines necessary to meet the 
     purposes for which the affected unit of the National Park 
     System was established if such project would not degrade the

     intermittently cover land with water.
       (c) Concurrence.--Notwithstanding any other provision of

     or reissue any license, or issue a new license, for any dam 
     or other facility for impoundment or obstruction of the flow 
     of water that is located on or that inundates any land within 
     the National Park System, if such action would result in new 
     or increased effects on the resources and values of such 
     land, unless the Secretary of the Interior concurs in such 
     action.
       (d) Scope.--The prohibition of this section shall be in 
     addition to, and not in lieu of, any other prohibition or 
     restriction on activities within any unit of the National 
     Park System.
       (e) Other Projects.--Nothing in this section prohibits the 
     Secretary of the Army or any other Federal department or

     wildlife refuge before the date such licensee is issued a 
     license by the Commission and is owned and operated for such 
     purposes, except that nothing in this sentence shall preclude 
     a State or local government from consenting to the 
     acquisition of such site or area with the licensee.''.
      The amendments made by this section to section 21 of the 
     Federal Power Act shall apply to the exercise of eminent 
     domain by any licensee under such section after the date of

       Section 6(g) of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 
     1965 is amended by inserting the following at the end 
     thereof: ``If a State has enacted statutory provisions 
     providing for the permanent protection of the natural, 
     ecological, cultural, scenic, or recreational resources of 
     designated river segments within that State, if such 
     protection is part of a comprehensive Statewide plan approved 
     by the Secretary of the Interior under section 6, and if such 
     provisions prohibit the development of new hydroelectric 
     power projects on such designated segments, neither the 
     Secretary nor any other officer or agent of the United States 
     (other than the Secretary of the Army or the Chief of the 
     United States Soil Conservation Service) shall assist or 
     issue an original license or an exemption for the 
     construction of any new hydroelectric power project if the 
     project is located wholly within that State and if such 
     assistance, license, or exemption would be inconsistent with 
     such prohibition. The preceding sentence shall not apply to 
     any project authorized for construction by the Secretary of 
     the Army before, on, or after the date of the enactment of 
     this sentence and not subsequently deauthorized pursuant to 
     the provisions of title X of Public Law 99-662 or any other

Para. 61.4  privileges of the house

  Mr. GEPHARDT rose to a question of the privileges of the House and 
submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 471):

       Whereas on April 29, 1992 the House of Representatives 
     adopted House Resolution 441 directing the release of certain 
     materials relating to the inquiry of the operation of the 
     Bank of the Sergeant at Arms pursuant to House Resolution 236 
     as a ``cooperative response'' to requests for those materials 
     from the Honorable Malcolm R. Wilkey, Special Counsel to the 
     Attorney General of the United States;
       Whereas pursuant to House Resolution 441 the 41 microfilm 
     rolls provided to the Special Counsel were furnished without 
     prejudice to any future consideration by the House or the 
     Judiciary of requests for documentary or testimonial evidence 
     from Members, Officers of employees of the House, but only 
     upon assurances of the Special Counsel that he will take such 
     steps as are necessary to provide for protection of the 
     confidentiality of the records provided;
       Whereas pursuant to House Resolution 441 the House 
     expressed its will to maintain such communication and 
     cooperation with the Special Counsel as will promote the ends 
     of justice consistent with the privileges and rights of the 
     House and consistent with the constitutional or legal rights 
     applicable or available to any Member, Officer or employee of 
     the House or any other individual;
       Whereas the Special Counsel has requested the production of 
     further documentary evidence in addition to that furnished 
     pursuant to House Resolution 441;
       Whereas, by the privileges of the House no evidence of a 
     documentary character under the control and in the possession 
     of the House can, either by the mandate of process of the 
     ordinary courts of justice or pursuant to requests by 
     appropriate Federal or State authorities, be taken from such 
     control or possession except by the permission of the House; 
     Now therefore be it
       Resolved, That the material requested by the Special 
     Counsel consisting of: for the period July 1, 1988 through 
     October 1991 the general ledgers of the bank; the ``throwout 
     books''; lists or other compilations of persons whose check 
     privileges had been suspended or otherwise restricted; for 
     accounts in which there were one or more ``overdrafts'' any 
     list or other compilation of individuals who had been granted 
     signature authority by account holders and any list or other 
     compilation of individuals who had been designated by Members 
     as a staff contact person; information relating to overdrawn 
     accounts and general bank administration maintained in the 
     computers of the bank; in addition, and without respect to 
     the time limitation referenced above, any list or other 
     compilation relating to promissory notes made by the National 
     Bank of Washington, shall be collected by the Sergeant at 
     Arms and he shall commence production thereof to the Special 
     Counsel not later than five p.m. on Monday June 1, 1992; Be 
     it further
       Resolved, That upon receipt of further requests for 
     documentary or testimonial evidence from the Special Counsel 
     addressed to any Member, officer, or employee of the House, 
     the Leadership Legal Advisory Group (consisting of the 
     Speaker, the majority leader, the minority leader, the 
     majority whip and the minority whip), is hereby authorized to 
     respond to and to take appropriate action with respect to 
     such requests from the Special Counsel in a manner consistent 
     with the privileges and precedents of the House. 

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mrs. UNSOELD, ruled that the resolution 
submitted did present a question of the privileges of the House and 
recognized Mr. GEPHARDT for one hour.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. GEPHARDT, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to said resolution?
  The SPEAKER announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. GINGRICH objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken by 
electronic device.

     grant directly to the State, to support the operation of 
     population-based, statewide cancer registries in order to

     center involved is applying to receive a grant under 
     subsection (a).

     trauma in the geographic area in which the trauma center is 
     located;

     policies, equivalent to (or more protective than) the 
     applicable guidelines developed by the American College of 
     Surgeons or utilized in the model plan established under 
     section 1213(c); or

     the Secretary shall give preference to any application--
       ``(1) made by a trauma center that, for the purpose 
     specified in such section, will receive financial assistance 
     from the State or political subdivision involved for each 
     fiscal year during which payments are made to the center from 
     the grant, which financial assistance is exclusive of any 
     assistance provided by the State or political subdivision as 
     a non-Federal contribution under any Federal program 
     requiring such a contribution; or
       ``(2) made by a trauma center that, with respect to the 
     system described in section 1241(b)(2) in which the center is 
     a participant--
       ``(A) is providing trauma care in a geographic area in 
     which the availability of trauma care has significantly 
     decreased as a result of a trauma center in the area 
     permanently ceasing participation in such system as of a date 
     occurring during the 2-year period specified in section 
     1241(b)(1)(B); or
       ``(B) will, in providing trauma care during the 1-year 
     period beginning on the date on which the application for the 
     grant is submitted, incur uncompensated costs in an amount 
     rendering the center unable to continue participation in such 
     system, resulting in a significant decrease in the 
     availability of trauma care in the geographic area.

     respect to applications for grants under section 1241 that 
     are receiving

     shall give further preference to any such application made by 
     a trauma center for which a disproportionate percentage of 
     the uncompensated costs of the center result from the 
     provision of trauma care to individuals who neither are 
     citizens nor aliens lawfully admitted to the United States 
     for permanent residence.

     grant, the center will maintain expenditures for such 
     activities at a level that is not less than the level 
     maintained by the center during the fiscal year preceding the 
     first fiscal year for which the center receives such 
     payments.
       ``(c) Trauma Care Registry.--The Secretary may not make a 
     grant under section 1241(a) unless the trauma center involved 
     agrees that--

     accordance with the applicable guidelines described in 
     section 1241(b)(2)(C), and will begin operation of the 
     registry not later than 6 months after the date on which the

     abuse) and mental health services.
       (3) An examination of past practices and emerging trends of 
     health insurance coverage for substance abuse (including 
     alcohol abuse) and mental health services, including an 
     examination of trends in copayments, lifetime coverage 
     maximums, number of visits, and inclusion or exclusion of 
     such services.
       (4) An identification of issues attendant to and analysis 
     of barriers to health insurance coverage for substance abuse 
     (including alcohol abuse) and mental illness services. Such 
     analysis shall include a discussion of how substance abuse 
     (including alcohol abuse) and mental health services would be 
     affected by the various health care reform under 
     consideration in Congress.

Para. 63.8  baha'is persecution in iran

  Mr. HAMILTON moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 156); as amended: 

       Whereas in 1982, 1984, 1988, and 1990, the Congress, by 
     concurrent resolution, declared that it holds the Government 
     of Iran responsible for upholding the rights of all its 
     nationals, including members of the Baha'i Faith, Iran's 
     largest religious minority;
       Whereas in such resolutions the Congress condemned the 
     Iranian Government's persecution of the Baha'i community, 
     including the execution of more than 200 Baha'is, the 
     imprisonment of thousands of Baha'is, and other oppressive 
     actions against Baha'is based solely upon their religious 
     beliefs;
       Whereas the Congress has urged the President to work with 
     other governments and the United Nations in support of the 
     rights of Iranian Baha'is;
       Whereas recent reports indicate that most Iranian Baha'is 
     imprisoned because of their religion have been released, and 
     some confiscated business and personal properties of such 
     Baha'is have been restored; and
       Whereas despite such actions, the Government of Iran 
     summarily executed a leading member of the Baha'i community 
     in March 1992 and continues to deny the Baha'i community the 
     right to organize, to elect its leaders, to hold community 
     property for worship or assembly, to operate religious 
     schools, and to conduct other normal religious community 
     activities: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That the Congress--
       (1) continues to hold the Government of Iran responsible 
     for upholding the rights of all its nationals, including 
     members of the Baha'i community, in a manner consistent with 
     Iran's obligations under the Universal Declaration of Human 
     Rights and the international covenants on human rights;
       (2) notes that the Government of Iran summarily executed a 
     prominent Iranian Baha'i in March 1992, the first such 
     execution in more than 3 years, and further notes that 
     reports indicate that several Baha'is have been arrested 
     during 1992;
       (3) expresses concern that, despite some recent 
     improvements in the treatment of individual Baha'is, the 
     Baha'i community continues to be denied legal recognition, 
     and the basic rights to organize, elect its leaders, educate 
     its youth, and carry on the normal activities of law-abiding 
     religious community;
       (4) urges the Government of Iran to extend to the Baha'i 
     community the rights guaranteed by the Universal Declaration 
     of Human Rights and the international covenants on human 
     rights, including the freedom of thought, conscience, and 
     religion, and equal protection of the law; and
       (5) calls upon the President to continue--
       (A) to urge the Government of Iran to emancipate the Baha'i 
     community by granting those rights guaranteed by the 
     Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the international 
     covenants on human rights;
       (B) to emphasize that the United States regards the human 
     rights practices of the Government of Iran, particularly its 
     treatment of the Baha'i community and other religious 
     minorities, as a significant element in the development of 
     its relations with the Government of Iran; and
       (C) to cooperate with other governments and international 
     organizations, including the United Nations and its agencies, 
     in efforts to protect the religious rights of the Baha'is and 
     other minorities through joint appeals to the Government of 
     Iran and through other appropriate actions.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MONTGOMERY, recognized Mr. HAMILTON and 
Mr. BROOMFIELD, each for 20 minutes.

Para. 63.9  israeli embassy bombing in buenos aires

  Mr. HAMILTON moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 297); as amended: 

       Whereas a terrorist bomb destroyed the Embassy of Israel in 
     Buenos Aires, Argentina, on March 17, 1992;
       Whereas at least 24 innocent individuals died and 250 
     innocent individuals were wounded as a result of the 
     detonation of the bomb;
       Whereas the terrorist organization Islamic Jihad has 
     claimed responsibility for the bombing; and
       Whereas the bombing is an atrocity: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     Concurring), That the Congress--
       (1) condemns the bombing of the Embassy of Israel in Buenos 
     Aires, Argentina, on March 17, 1992;
       (2) mourns the victims of the bombing;
       (3) extends its condolences to the families and friends of 
     the victims; and
       (4) declares that the Government of the United States 
     should continue to cooperate fully with the Government of 
     Argentina and the Government of Israel in identifying and 
     bringing to justice all of the individuals responsible for 
     the planning, preparation, and execution of the bombing.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MONTGOMERY, recognized Mr. HAMILTON and 
Mr. BROOMFIELD, each for 20 minutes.
  After debate,
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House suspend the rules and agree to said concurrent

Para. 63.10  kurdish refugee assistance

  Mr. HAMILTON moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 299); as amended: 

       Whereas the Government of Iraq brutally suppressed a 
     Kurdish uprising in February and March 1991, forcing hundreds 
     of thousands of Kurds to flee across the border into Turkey;
       Whereas this sudden, massive refugee flow into Turkey 
     resulted in shortfalls of shelter, food, medicine, and 
     potable water that placed thousands of Kurdish lives at risk;
       Whereas the best solution to this humanitarian crisis was 
     to encourage the Kurds to return to their homes in northern 
     Iraq by creating a security zone in northern Iraq in which 
     the United States guaranteed that they would not be attacked 
     by Iraqi aircraft or other forces;
       Whereas in response to the extraordinary humanitarian need 
     of the Kurds, the United States took the lead in organizing 
     Operation Provide Comfort, in which the United States and 
     other forces undertook a major relief effort for the Kurds 
     both within Turkey and in the designated security zone in 
     northern Iraq;
       Whereas in June 1991 the United Nations High Commissioner 
     for Refugees took over the prime responsibility for all 
     relief operations in northern Iraq;
       Whereas the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees 
     still maintains a large presence in northern Iraq, including 
     over a thousand civilians involved in relief activities as 
     well as hundreds of United Nations guards;
       Whereas the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees 
     is currently negotiating with the United Nations Children's 
     Fund and other United Nations organizations to take over the 
     functions being performed in northern Iraq by the United 
     Nations High Commissioner for Refugees;
       Whereas the memorandum of understanding between Iraq and 
     the United Nations which authorizes the United Nations 
     presence expires in June 1992;
       Whereas the severe shortages of food within the security 
     zone as a result of the Iraqi blockade of northern Iraq make 
     a continued international relief effort essential in order to 
     prevent famine among the Kurdish population;
       Whereas the courageous decision of the Government of Turkey 
     to permit the stationing of United States military forces in 
     southern Turkey, despite the possibility of Iraqi retaliation 
     against Turkey, was essential to the success of Operation 
     Provide Comfort;
       Whereas Operation Provide Comfort is still necessary in 
     order to deter Iraqi attacks against the Kurdish population 
     in the security zone in northern Iraq;
       Whereas the agreement between the United States and Turkey 
     that permits the stationing of United States military forces 
     in southern Turkey expires in June 1992; and
       Whereas if this agreement is not extended and if Operation 
     Provide Comfort is terminated, it is extremely likely that 
     Iraqi forces will attack the security zone, resulting in 
     substantial loss of lives and possibly generating another 
     massive wave of Kurdish refugees into Turkey: Now, therefore, 
     be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That is the sense of the Congress that--

[[Page 985]]

       (1) the United States should seek Turkish permission to 
     extend beyond June 1992 the agreement that permits the 
     stationing of United States military forces in southern 
     Turkey for purposes of Operation Provide Comfort;
       (2) the Government of Turkey, whose continued commitment to 
     Operation Provide Comfort is essential if the operation is to 
     be continued, should respond positively to a United States 
     request to extend that agreement;
       (3) the United Nations presence in northern Iraq should be 
     extended;
       (4) the United States and the international community 
     should attach high priority to persuading the Government of 
     Iraq to lift the economic boycott of northern Iraq; and
       (5) in working to ameliorate the conditions of the Iraqi 
     Kurds, the United States should continue to support the 
     sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states, and the 
     internationally recognized human rights of all peoples, in 
     the region.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MONTGOMERY, recognized Mr. HAMILTON and

Para. 63.11  the people of albania

  Mr. HAMILTON moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 305), as amended: 

       Whereas the people of Albania held a successful democratic 
     election on March 22, 1992;
       Whereas the newly elected government of Albania has 
     promised to institute market reforms and establish democratic 
     institutions; and
       Whereas the Albanian economy has collapsed and the Albania 
     people are unable to meet any basic needs: Now, therefore, be 
     it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That the Congress--
       (1) commends the people of Albania for the successful 
     democratic election that was held on March 22, 1992, and that 
     was both equitable and representative;
       (2) urges the newly-elected Albanian government to 
     accelerate market reforms and complete the establishment of 
     democratic institutions at all levels of government;
       (3) urges the President to take steps to increase trade 
     opportunities between the United States and Albania;
       (4) urges that increased humanitarian assistance be 
     provided to Albania, especially emergency shipments of basic 
     food commodities; and
       (5) urges that priority be given to helping the Albania 
     agricultural sector provide adequate food supplies to the 
     Albanian people.

Para. 63.12  burmese human rights abuses

  Mr. SOLARZ moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
resolution (H. Res. 473): 

       Whereas the people of Burma continue to live under a brutal 
     military regime that has restricted freedom of expression and 
     association, has imprisoned and tortured political opponents, 
     has refused to implement results of national elections held 
     in 1990, and has detained under house arrest the leader of 
     the political opposition, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
       Whereas the Burmese regime has also conducted military 
     operations against ethnic insurgents in border areas, during 
     which Burmese troops have committed egregious human rights 
     abuses against civilians, including rape, torture, summary 
     execution, destruction of property, and forced relocation;
       Whereas these operations have resulted in internal 
     displacement and outflows of hundreds of thousands of Burmese 
     into several countries in the region;
       Whereas the Burmese regime's ability to conduct such 
     military operations has been enhanced through the import of 
     arms and military equipment;
       Whereas the People's Republic of China is by far the 
     largest supplier of arms and military equipment to the 
     Burmese regime;
       Whereas the refugee outflow from Burma has imposed an 
     extraordinary burden upon the Government of Bangladesh, which 
     has provided asylum to more than 250,000 Rohingyas who have 
     recently fled Burma;
       Whereas although the Government of Burma and the Government 
     of Bangladesh have reached an accord on the voluntary 
     repatriation of Rohingya refugees, the Burmese authorities 
     have not provided credible and verifiable assurances that the 
     repression that prompted the refugee exodus has ended and 
     have not agreed to permit the United Nations High 
     Commissioner for Refugees to be present in Burma to monitor 
     the return of refugees;
       Whereas without such assurances and a monitoring presence 
     by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, it is 
     unlikely that Rohingya refugees will elect to return to Burma 
     in significant numbers;
       Whereas the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, by a 
     unanimous vote on March 3, 1992, adopted a resolution 
     condemning Burma for human rights violations and appointing a 
     special rapporteur to give a public report at the next 
     meetings of the United Nations General Assembly and 
     Commission on Human Rights; and
       Whereas the Burmese regime has announced the release of 
     some 100 political prisoners, as well as its intention to 
     begin discussions on the formation of a national convention 
     to draft a new constitution: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
       (1) condemns ongoing abuses of internationally recognized 
     human rights in Burma, and strongly urges the Burmese 
     authorities to lift martial law and all restrictions on 
     freedom of speech and expression, to release all persons 
     confined for the peaceful expression of their political 
     opinions, including Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, and to commit to 
     the prompt transition to a freely elected civilian 
     government;
       (2) welcomes the efforts of governments within the region 
     to provide asylum for Burmese refugees and displaced persons, 
     and urges that no Burmese asylum-seeker be returned to Burma 
     under current conditions;
       (3) commends the extraordinary effort of the Government of 
     Bangladesh to provide assistance to Rohingya refugees, urges 
     increased levels of United States refugee assistance to 
     Bangladesh for the Rohingya refugees, welcomes the decision 
     of the Government of Bangladesh not to return any Rohingya 
     refugee against his or her will, and urges the Government of 
     Bangladesh to work closely with the United Nations High 
     Commissioner for Refugees to ensure against repatriation 
     until the conditions for safe and secure return are in place;
       (4) urges the Burmese authorities to provide credible and 
     verifiable assurances that the repression that prompted the 
     refugee exodus has ended and to permit the United Nations 
     High Commissioner for Refugees to be present in Burma to 
     monitor the return of refugees;
       (5) urges the Government of the People's Republic of China 
     to end all military transfers to Burma, which have served to 
     strength the ability of the Burmese regime to undertake 
     combat operations that have fostered the refugee exodus; and
       (6) commends the President for implementing an arms embargo 
     against Burma and urging other nations to implement similar 
     measures, and urges the President to seek a mandatory 
     international arms embargo on Burma.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HUTTO, recognized Mr. SOLARZ and Mr. 
BROOMFIELD, each for 20 minutes.
  After debate,
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House suspend the rules and agree to said resolution?

To the Congress of the United States:

  I transmit herewith the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development 
Corporation's Annual Report for fiscal year 1991. This report has been 
prepared in accordance with section 10 of the Saint Lawrence Seaway Act 
of May 13, 1954 (33 U.S.C. 989(a)), and covers the period October 1, 
1990, through September 30, 1991.
                                                          George Bush.

Para. 63.16  message from the president--u.s. arms control and 
          disarmament agency

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HUTTO, laid before the House a message 
from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:

  I am pleased to transmit the United States Arms Control and 
Disarmament Agency Annual Report for 1991.
  The report provides information about the nature and significance of 
treaties signed during the year, the conduct of arms control 
negotiations, the coordination of treaty implementation procedures, and 
other activities conducted pursuant to the Arms Control and Disarmament 
Act, as amended.
  The international security environment, which has changed considerably 
since the submission of last year's report, continues to evolve. Our 
bilateral arms control agenda, including the START treaty that is 
reviewed extensively in Chapter 2, continues. At the same time, our 
efforts to curb proliferation and deal with the regional conflicts have 
been expanded, and the implementation of the growing number of existing 
treaties and agreements has become more demanding. The work of arms 
control, therefore, is expanding.
  As our defense program reorders its priorities, our arms control 
program is doing the same as a consequence of the changed East-West 
relationship.
                                                          George Bush.  
  The White House, June 2, 1992.

papers, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

  So the amendment was agreed to.
  After some further time,
  The Committee rose informally to receive a message from the President.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. WILSON, assumed the Chair.

Para. 64.18  messages from the president

  Sundry messages in writing from the President of the United States 
were communicated to the House by Mr. McCathran, one of his secretaries.

  The Committee resumed its sitting; and after some further time spent 
therein,

Para. 64.19  recorded vote

  A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of 
the Whole on the following amendment submitted by Mr. FRANK:

       At the end of title X (page 202, after line 23), insert the 
     following new section:

     SEC.   . REDUCTIONS FOR ACCELERATED WITHDRAWAL OF UNITED 
                   STATES FORCES FROM EUROPE, JAPAN, AND KOREA OR 
                   INCREASED HOST-NATION SUPPORT.

       (a) Overall Authorization Reduction.--The total amount 
     authorized to be appropriated by this Act for fiscal year 
     1993 is the sum of the separate authorizations contained in 
     this Act for that fiscal year reduced pay $3,500,000,000.
       (b) Troops in Europe, Japan, and Korea.--Reductions in 
     amounts authorized to be appropriated to the Department of 
     Defense to achieve the overall reduction required by 
     subsection (a) may only be made from funds for programs, 
     projects, and activities for the support of United States 
     forces assigned to or stationed in Europe, Japan, or Korea. 
     The effect on those programs, projects, and activities of 
     such reductions in amounts authorized to be appropriated may 
     be accounted for through either or a combination of the 
     following:
       (1) Increases in the level of host-nation support.
       (2) Accelerated withdrawal of United States forces or 
     equipment assigned to or stationed in Europe, Japan, or 
     Korea.

Para. 64.27  message from the president--trade act waiver

To the Congress of the United States:

  Pursuant to section 402(c)(2)(A) of the Trade Act of 1974 (the 
``Act'') (19 U.S.C. 2432(c)(2)(A)), I have determined that a waiver of 
the application of subsections (a) and (b) of section 402 with respect 
to Tajikistan and Turkmenistan will substantially promote the objectives 
of section 402. A copy of that determination is enclosed. I have also 
received assurances with respect to the emigration practices of 
Tajikistan and Turkmenistan required by section 402(c)(2)(B) of the Act. 
This message constitutes the report to the Congress required by section 
402(c)(2).
  Pursuant to section 402(c)(2), I shall waive by Executive order the 
application of subsections (a) and (b) of section 402 of the Act with 
respect to Tajikistan and Turkmenistan.
                                                          George Bush.

  I hereby transmit the documents referred to in section 402(d)(1) of 
the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2432(d)(1)) (``the Act''), 
with respect to a further extension of the authority to waive 
subsections (a) and (b) of section 402 of the Act. These documents 
continue in effect this waiver authority for a further 12-month period.
  I include as part of these documents my determination that further 
extension of the waiver authority will substantially promote the 
objectives of section 402. I also include my determination that 
continuation of the waivers applicable to Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, 
Bulgaria, Byelarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Mongolia, 
Romania, Russia, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan will substantially promote the 
objectives of section 402. The attached documents also include my 
reasons for recommending the extension of the waiver authority and for 
my determination that continuation of the waivers currently in effect 
for Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Byelarus, Georgia, 
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Mongolia, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, and 
Uzbekistan will substantially promote the objectives of section 402.
  My determination with respect to the waiver applicable to the People's 
Republic of China and the reasons therefor is transmitted separately.
  I intend to waive by Executive order application of sections 402(a) 
and 402(b) of the Act with respect to Tajikistan and Turkmenistan prior 
to July 3, 1992.
                                                          George Bush.

     collection and use of abandoned films such as training, 
     educational, and other historically important films.
       (2) Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment 
     of this Act, the Librarian shall submit to the Congress a 
     report containing the results of the study conducted under

       (A) After completion of the study required by subsection 
     (a), the Librarian shall, taking into account the results of 
     the study, establish a comprehensive national film 
     preservation program for motion pictures, in conjunction with 
     other film archivists and copyright owners. The objectives of 
     such a program shall include--
       (i) coordinating activities to assure that efforts of 
     archivists and copyright owners, and others in the public and 
     private sector, are effective and complementary;
       (ii) generating public awareness of and support for those 
     activities; and
       (iii) increasing accessibility of films for educational 
     purposes, and improving nationwide activities in the 
     preservation of works in other media such as videotape.
       (B) The Librarian shall establish guidelines and procedures 
     under which films may be included in the National Film 
     Registry, except that no film shall be eligible for inclusion 
     in the National Film Registry until 10 years after such

       (C) The Librarian shall establish procedures under which 
     the general public may make recommendations to the Board 
     regarding the inclusion of films in the National Film 
     Registry.
       (D) The Librarian shall establish procedures for the 
     examination by the Librarian of prints of films named for 
     inclusion in the National Film Registry to determine their 
     eligibility for the use of the seal of the National Film 
     Registry under paragraph (3).
       (E) The Librarian shall determine which films satisfy the 
     criteria established under subparagraph (B) and qualify for

     Librarian shall not select more than 25 films each year for 
     inclusion in the Registry.

     criteria used to determine the Registry version of a film.
       (5) The Librarian shall submit to the Congress a report,

     the National Film Registry and describing the activities of 
     the Board.
       (c) Seal.--The seal provided under subsection (b)(3) may be 
     used on any copy of the Registry version of a film. Such seal 
     may be used only after the Librarian has examined and 
     approved the print from which the copy was made. In the case 
     of copyrighted works, only the copyright owner or an 
     authorized licensee of the copyright may place or authorize 
     the placement of the seal on a copy of a film selected for 
     inclusion in the National Film Registry, and the Librarian 
     may place the seal on any print or copy of the film that is 
     maintained in the National Film Registry Collection of the 
     Library of Congress. The person authorized to place the seal 
     on a copy of a film selected for inclusion in the National 
     Film Registry may accompany such seal with the following 
     language: ``This film is included in the National Film 
     Registry, which is maintained by the Library of Congress, and 
     was preserved under the National Film Preservation Act of 
     1992.''.

Para. 65.8  recorded vote

  A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of 
the Whole on the following amendment, as modified, submitted by Mr. 
ASPIN:

       At the end of division A (page 203, after line 14), insert 
     the following new title:

                  TITLE XII--NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION

     SEC. 1201. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Nuclear Threat Reduction 
     Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 1202. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       It is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) the proliferation of nuclear weapons is one of the most 
     serious threats to the national security of the United States 
     in the post-Cold war era;
       (2) nuclear nonproliferation policy of the United States 
     should seek to limit both the supply of nuclear weapons and 
     the demand for nuclear weapons and should undertake to reduce 
     the existing threat from nuclear proliferation;
       (3) the Secretary of Defense should, under the guidance of 
     the President and in coordination with the Secretary of 
     State, actively assist in United States nuclear 
     nonproliferation policy, emphasizing activities such as 
     improved capabilities to detect and monitor nuclear 
     proliferation, to respond to nuclear terrorism, theft, and 
     accidents, and to assist with interdiction and destruction of 
     nuclear weapons and material; and
       (4) in a manner consistent with United States nuclear 
     nonproliferation policy, the Department of Defense should 
     maintain a credible military capability to track and respond 
     to nuclear proliferation.

     nonproliferation policy of the United States;
       (2) identify existing capabilities within the Department of 
     Defense and the Department of Energy to detect and monitor 
     clandestine nuclear weapons programs, to respond to nuclear 
     terrorism, nuclear accidents, or theft of nuclear materials, 
     and to assist with interdiction and destruction of nuclear 
     weapons and materials, including for the Department of 
     Defense a description of the degree to which the unified 
     combatant commands have incorporated a non-proliferation 
     mission into their overall mission and how the Special

     SEC. 1206. SOVIET WEAPONS DESTRUCTION.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds--
       (1) that programs established under the Soviet Nuclear 
     Threat Reduction Act of 1991 (title II of Public Law 102-228) 
     will contribute significantly to the destruction of weapons 
     of mass destruction of the states of the former Soviet Union 
     and the reduction of the threat from such weapons and the 
     potential for their proliferation;
       (2) that it is in the national security interests of the 
     United States to continue to reduce the threats from the huge 
     weapons arsenals of the former Soviet Union and to protect 
     against the potential proliferation of these weapons and the 
     materials removed from them, as well as the potential hazards 
     resulting from the faulty storage of those weapons or 
     materials; and
       (3) that the threats to nuclear safety and security 
     described in section 211 of the Soviet Nuclear Threat 
     Reduction Act of 1991 (title II of Public Law 102-228; 105 
     Stat. 1693) remain of urgent concern and that additional 
     resources are necessary to meet these threats, particularly 
     in areas such as safe and secure storage of fissile material, 
     dismantlement of missiles and launchers, and the destruction 
     of chemical weapons.
       (b) Additional Funding.--(1) Section 221(a) of the Soviet 
     Nuclear Threat Reduction Act of 1991 (title II of Public Law 
     102-228; 105 Stat. 1695) is amended by striking out

  Thereupon, Mr. COX of Illinois, Acting Chairman, announced that 401 
Members had been recorded, a quorum.
  The Committee resumed its business.
  After some further time,

Para. 65.12  recorded vote

  A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of 
the Whole on the following amendment submitted by Mr. MAVROULES:

       At the end of title X (page 202, after line 23), insert the 
     following new section:

     SEC. 1056. NUCLEAR WEAPONS REDUCTION.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) on February 1, 1992, the President of the United States 
     and the President of the Russian Federation agreed in a Joint 
     Statement that ``Russia and the United States do not regard 
     each other as potential adversaries'' and stated further 
     that, ``We will work to remove any remnants of cold war 
     hostility, including taking steps to reduce our strategic 
     arsenals'';
       (2) in the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear 
     Weapons, in exchange for the non-nuclear-weapon states 
     agreeing not to seek a nuclear weapons capability nor to 
     assist other non-nuclear-weapon states in doing so, the 
     United States agreed to seek the complete elimination of all 
     nuclear weapons worldwide, as declared in the preamble to the 
     Treaty, which states that it is a goal of the parties to the 
     Treaty to ``facilitate the cessation of the manufacture of 
     nuclear weapons, the liquidation of all their existing 
     stockpiles, and the elimination from national arsenals of 
     nuclear weapons and the means of their delivery'' as well as 
     in Article VI of the Treaty, which states that ``each of the 
     parties to the Treaty undertakes to pursue negotiations in 
     good faith on effective measures relating to the cessation of 
     the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear 
     disarmament'';
       (3) carrying out a policy of seeking significant and 
     continuous reductions in the nuclear arsenals of all 
     countries, besides reducing the likelihood of the 
     proliferation of nuclear weapons and increasing the 
     likelihood of a successful extension and possible 
     strengthening of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of 
     Nuclear Weapons in 1995, when the Treaty is scheduled for 
     review and possible extension, has additional benefits to the 
     national security of the United States, including--
       (A) a reduced risk of accidental enablement and launch of a 
     nuclear weapon, and
       (B) a defense cost savings which could be reallocated for 
     deficit reduction or other important national needs;
       (4) proposals by the President of the United States and the 
     President of the Russian Federation to reduce strategic 
     nuclear arsenals to approximately 4,700 and 2,500 weapons, 
     respectively, are commendable intermediate stages in the 
     process of achieving the policy goals described in paragraphs 
     (1) and (2);
       (5) before the unsuccessful 1991 coup d'etat in the former 
     Soviet Union, the National Academy of Sciences proposed the 
     possibility of eventual reductions of strategic nuclear 
     warheads to 1,000 to 2,000 in the United States and the 
     former Soviet Union;
       (6) the current international era of cooperation provides 
     greater opportunities for achieving worldwide reduction and 
     control of nuclear weapons and material than any time since 
     the emergence of nuclear weapons 50 years ago; and
       (7) it is imperative in the security interests of both the 
     United States and the world community for the President and 
     the Congress to begin the process of reducing the number of 
     nuclear weapons in every country.
       (b) United States Policy.--It shall be the goal of the 
     United States to--
       (1) encourage and facilitate the denuclearization of 
     Ukraine, Byelarus, and Kazakhstan, in accord with the stated 
     desires of these former Soviet republics;
       (2) implement agreed mutual reductions under the Strategic 
     Arms Reduction Talks (START) Treaty on an accelerated time 
     schedule, and facilitate the ability of the Russian 
     Federation, Ukraine, Byelarus, and Kazakhstan to accomplish 
     these reductions;
       (3) reach immediate agreement with the Russian Federation 
     to reduce the number of strategic nuclear weapons in each 
     country's arsenal to a level within a range defined by the 
     levels proposed by the President of the Russian Federation, 
     2,500, and the President of the United States, 4,700, to 
     include the downloading of multiple warhead ballistic 
     missiles;
       (4) as soon as practicable after such an agreement is 
     achieved, reach agreement with the Russian Federation, the 
     United Kingdom, France, and the People's Republic of China to 
     reduce the number of strategic nuclear warheads in each 
     country's arsenal to the lowest level consistent with the 
     National Academy of Sciences-endorsed range of 1000 to 2000 
     for the United States and the Russian Federation, with lower 
     levels for the other countries, that maintains stategic 
     stability;
       (5) through continuing negotiations reach subsequent 
     agreements with the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, 
     France, the People's Republic of China, and threshold nuclear 
     states to make significant, stage-by-stage reductions in the 
     number of nuclear weapons in all countries, with the pace of 
     such reductions being contingent on several factors, 
     including--
       (A) advances in verification, safeguard, and export control 
     methods and technologies;
       (B) increased participation in the Treaty on the Non-
     Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and other nuclear 
     nonproliferation agreements;
       (C) strengthened and improved political relations among all 
     countries; and
       (D) the degree to which further multilateral nuclear arms 
     reductions will enhance rather than hinder United States 
     national security;
       (6) continue and extend cooperative discussions with the 
     appropriate authorities of the former Soviet military on 
     means to maintain and improve secure command and control over 
     nuclear forces;
       (7) in consultation with other member countries of the 
     North Atlantic Treaty Organization and other allies, initiate 
     immediate multilateral negotiations to facilitate the 
     eventual elimination of tactical nuclear weapons in all 
     countries;

[[Page 1004]]

       (8) provide immediate United States assistance that would 
     be available to securely disable, transport, and store, and 
     ultimately dismantle, former Soviet nuclear weapons and 
     missiles for such weapons; and
       (9) achieve a worldwide, verifiable agreement to end by 
     1995 the production of plutonium and highly enriched uranium 
     for weapons purposes and to place existing stockpile of such 
     materials under bilateral or international controls.
       (c) Annual Report.--By January 1 of each year, the 
     President shall submit to the Congress a report on--
       (1) the actions that the United States has taken, and the 
     actions the United States plans to take during the next 12 
     months, to achieve each of the policy objectives set forth in 
     paragraphs (1) through (9) of subsection (b); and
       (2) the actions that have been taken by the Russian 
     Federation, by other former Soviet republics, and by other 
     countries to achieve those policy objectives.
     These reports shall be unclassified, with a classified 
     appendix if necessary.

Para. 65.14  recorded vote

  A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of 
the Whole on the following amendment submitted by Mr. AuCOIN:

       At the end of subtitle D of title VI (page 121, after line 
     20), insert the following section:

     SEC. 637. REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICES IN MEDICAL FACILITIES 
                   OF THE UNIFORMED SERVICES OUTSIDE THE UNITED 
                   STATES.

       (a) In General.--Chapter 55 of title 10, United States 
     Code, is amended by inserting after section 1074c the 
     following new section:

     ``Sec. 1074d. Reproductive health services in medical 
       facilities of the uniformed services outside the United 
       States

       ``(a) Provision of Services.--A member of the uniformed 
     services who is on duty at a station outside the United 
     States (and any dependent of the member who is accompanying 
     the member) is entitled to the provision of any reproductive 
     health service in a medical facility of the uniformed 
     services outside the United States serving that duty station 
     in the same manner as any other type of medical care.
       ``(b) Payment for Services.--(1) In the case of any 
     reproductive health service for which appropriated funds may 
     not be used, the administering Secretary shall require the 
     member of the uniformed service (or dependent of the member) 
     receiving the service to pay the full cost (including 
     indirect costs) of providing the service.
       ``(2) If payment is made under paragraph (1), appropriated 
     funds shall not be considered to have been used to provide a 
     reproductive health service under subsection (a). The amount 
     of such payment shall be credited to the accounts of the 
     facility at which the service was provided.''.
       (b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of sections at the 
     beginning of such chapter is amended by inserting after the 
     item relating to section 1074c the following new item:

Para. 65.18  recorded vote

  A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of 
the Whole on the following amendment submitted by Mr. HOPKINS to the 
amendment submitted by Mr. FROST:

[[Page 1006]]

  Amendment submitted by Mr. HOPKINS:

       In the matter proposed to be inserted by the amendment--
       (1) strike out--
       (A) section 4322 (relating to defense contractor hiring 
     preference for displaced defense workers);
       (B) section 4404 (relating to defense contractor 
     requirement to list suitable employment openings with local 
     employment service office);
       (C) section 4405 (relating to notice required upon 
     cancellation of defense contracts);
       (D) Section 4607 (relating to special early retirement for 
     displaced defense workers); and
       (2) add at the end the following new sections:

     SEC. 4607. DEFENSE CONTRACTOR EFFORTS TO ASSIST DISPLACED 
                   DEFENSE WORKERS AND ADVANCE NOTICE OF DEFENSE 
                   CONTRACT CANCELLATIONS.

       (a) Employment Openings and Hiring of Displaced Defense 
     Workers.--The Secretary of Defense should encourage defense 
     contractors--
       (1) to list with the appropriate local employment service 
     office, and where appropriate the Interstate Job Bank 
     (established by the United States Employment Service), all of 
     its employment openings suitable for displaced defense 
     workers; and
       (2) to give a first right of hire when hiring new employees 
     in an occupational specialty to any displaced defense worker 
     with skills in that occupational specialty.
       (b) Special Early Retirement Benefits for Contractor 
     Employees.--The Secretary of Defense shall encourage defense 
     contractors to explore the feasibility of providing an option 
     of special early retirement benefits to employees of the 
     contractors whose employment is terminated as a result of 
     reductions in levels of defense expenditures.
       (c) Advance Notice of Defense Contract Cancellations.--To 
     the extent practicable, the Secretary of Defense shall make 
     every effort to provide at least six-months advance notice to 
     a defense contractor of any cancellation or substantial 
     reduction in a defense contract that will adversely affect 
     the defense contractor.
       (d) Displaced Defense Worker Defined.--For purposes of this 
     section, an individual shall be considered to be a displaced 
     defense worker if the individual--
       (1) was employed for a period of not less than five years 
     as an employee of the Department of Defense, of a contractor 
     of the Department of Defense, or of the national security 
     laboratories of the Department of Energy immediately 
     preceding the termination of the employment of the employee; 
     and
       (2) was terminated as a result of reductions in levels of 
     defense expenditures, as determined by the Secretary of 
     Defense or the Secretary of Energy, as the case may be.

     SEC. 4608. STUDY TO DETERMINE THE DISLOCATION EFFECTS OF 
                   CURRENT AND FUTURE REDUCTIONS IN SPENDING FOR 
                   THE NATIONAL DEFENSE.

       (a) Study.--The Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
     Labor shall jointly conduct a study to determine the 
     dislocation effects that are projected to occur as a result 
     of current and future reductions in spending for the national 
     defense.
       (b) Conduct of Study.--In carrying out the study under 
     subsection (a), the Secretaries shall--
       (1) consider the reemployment potential of workers losing 
     jobs as a result of reduced defense spending, including the 
     probability that such workers will be absorbed into other 
     comparable jobs in the Federal Government or other comparable 
     jobs in the geographic locality of such workers;
       (2) include projections on a yearly basis for--
       (A) dislocation in the private sector defense industry, 
     dislocation of active duty military, and dislocation of 
     civilians working for the Department of Defense; and
       (B) secondary dislocation in communities that are 
     substantially and seriously affected (as defined in section 
     4003(5)(A) of the Defense Economic Adjustment, 
     Diversification, Conversion, and Stabilization Act of 1990 
     (Public Law 101-510; 104 Stat. 1848; 10 U.S.C. 2391 note)) 
     where job loss occurs as a consequence of the closing or 
     reduction in force of military facilities, or the 
     cancellation or reduction in defense contracts in such 
     community;
       (3) include information on the regional impact of reduced 
     defense spending as it applies to worker dislocation;
       (4) include a comparison of the characteristics of the 
     workforce population being dislocated as a consequence of 
     reduced defense spending to the characteristics of the 
     general dislocated workforce population in the United States, 
     including characteristics relating to education status, 
     income level, and occupation;
       (5) include projections on how dislocations occurring as a 
     consequence of reduced defense spending will impact on other 
     Federal programs that serve dislocated workers (particularly 
     programs in which funding is based on unemployment 
     statistics), including programs under the Job Training 
     Partnership Act (29 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.); and
       (6) include a comparison of the average length of advance 
     notice received by workers being dislocated as a consequence 
     of reduced defense spending to the average length of advance 
     notice received by workers being dislocated for other 
     reasons.
       (c) Report.--Not later than 6 months after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, and periodically thereafter, the 
     Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Labor shall jointly 
     submit to the Congress a report containing--
       (1) the findings and conclusions of the Secretaries 
     resulting from the study under subsection (a); and
       (2) recommendations for assistance to dislocated workers 
     based on the findings and conclusions referred to in 
     paragraph (1).
       (d) Use of Study.--Upon submission of the report under 
     subsection (c), the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
     Labor shall use the study contained in the report to 
     determine the priority to give certain applications for 
     grants under section 325A of the Job Training Partnership 
     Act, as required by subsection (d)(4) of such section.
       In section 4321 of the amendment (relating to training, 
     adjustment assistance, and employment services for discharged 
     military personnel, terminated defense employees, and 
     displaced employees of defense contractors) insert after 
     subsection (d)(3) of section 325A of the Job Training 
     Partnership Act, as added by section 4321 of such amendment, 
     add the following new paragraph:

       ``(4) Priority for certain applicants.--In reviewing 
     applications for grants under subsection (a), the Secretary 
     of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of Labor, 
     shall make every effort to give priority to applications 
     received from applicants that--
       ``(A) will provide the job training, adjustment assistance, 
     and employment services in a substate area with a high number 
     or percentage of dislocated workers and eligible individuals; 
     and
       ``(B) have included in such application a program to target 
     eligible individuals most in need of job training, adjustment 
     assistance, and employment services based on education 
     status, income level, and occupation level, as determined by 
     the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Labor.

       This division may be cited as the ``Defense Reinvestment 
     Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 4002. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Profound changes in the military threat to the United 
     States as a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union will 
     lead to a significant decrease in the defense budget of the 
     United States over the next five years.
       (2) The reductions in the defense budget during that period 
     may mean the elimination of over 1,100,000 defense industrial 
     and Department of Defense civilian jobs and the separation of 
     over 350,000 active-duty military personnel from the Armed 
     Forces.
       (3) These reductions, combined with low levels of economic 
     growth or recession, will cause serious and severe 
     dislocations for defense dependent communities and limit 
     employment opportunities for displaced defense workers and 
     military personnel separated from active and reserve duty 
     unless immediate steps are taken.
       (4) Over the same five-year period, United States economic 
     security will continue to come under challenges that will 
     require a comprehensive, cooperative response from 
     government, business, and labor.
       (5) The skills of displaced defense workers and the 
     expertise of defense industries form the foundation of the 
     critical industrial and technical skill base on which the 
     military depends and that the Nation can ill afford to lose.
       (6) The men and women separating from the Armed Forces 
     represent a valuable national resource as a result of the 
     nation's investment in their education and training.
       (7) In the interest of national security and the United 
     States international competitive position, the Department of 
     Defense should undertake a more active and direct role in 
     managing the defense build-down through a program of 
     reinvestment of defense resources that--
       (A) promotes economic growth in high-wage, high-technology 
     industries and preserves the industrial and technical skill 
     base;
       (B) bolsters the national technology base, including 
     support and exploitation of critical technologies with both 
     military and civilian application;
       (C) supports retraining of separated military, defense 
     civilian, and defense industrial personnel for jobs in 
     activities important to national economic growth;
       (D) assists those activities being undertaken at the State 
     and local level to support defense economic adjustment and 
     diversification efforts;
       (E) provides direct support to small businesses adversely 
     affected by the defense build-down; and
       (F) builds on existing Federal programs in this area.
       (8) The Department of Defense should assume a leading role 
     in the development of a long-range plan of action to preserve 
     militarily critical technologies and skills essential for 
     national security.
       (9) Such a defense reinvestment program complements the 
     traditional role of the Department of Defense to provide for 
     the security of the United States.
       (10) The breadth and scope of the long-term economic 
     problems resulting from the drawdown over the next five 
     fiscal years in the Department of Defense budget will require 
     continued Federal government involvment, particularly on the 
     part of other Federal agencies which traditionally have 
     expertise relating to such economic problems.

     required service bears to the two years of required service.

     Secretary. Any amount owed by a participant under paragraph 
     (1) shall bear interest at the rate equal to the highest rate 
     being paid by the United States on the day on which the 
     reimbursement is determined to be due for securities having

     from active duty, and their spouses).
       (2) Interstate Job Bank satellite offices or systems at

    Subtitle D--Service Members Occupational Conversion and Training

     SEC. 4351. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Service Members 
     Occupational Conversion and Training Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 4352. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the men and women serving in our Nation's Armed Forces 
     are of the highest caliber--intelligent, dedicated, and 
     disciplined--and hundreds of thousands of these service 
     members will be separating from the Armed Forces due to the 
     drawdown in military personnel;
       (2) these men and women will be entering the civilian 
     workforce during a time of economic instability and 
     uncertainty;
       (3) many of these service personnel specialized in critical 
     skills such as combat arms which will not transfer to the 
     civilian workforce;
       (4) as part of the Nation's obligation to these service 
     members, the Secretary of Defense has a unique responsibility 
     and obligation to provide them with the tools they need to be 
     reassimilated into the civilian community and continue to be 
     outstanding, productive citizens;
       (5) the rapid placement of separated military personnel in 
     civilian employment and training opportunities will 
     significantly reduce the Department of Defense's costs 
     relative to unemployment compensation for ex-service members;
       (6) military personnel are a national resource whose skills 
     and abilities must be absorbed by and integrated into the 
     civilian workforce; and
       (7) providing such training will reduce the total cost of 
     the drawdown and is important to the national defense 
     function of the Department of Defense.
       (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this subtitle is to provide 
     additional means by which the Secretary of Defense can manage 
     the drawdown of the Armed Forces and to provide additional 
     forms of assistance to members of the Armed Forces who are 
     forced or induced to leave military service by reason of the 
     drawdown of the Armed Forces, thereby facilitating the 
     Secretary's ability to achieve end strength reductions caused 
     by the drawdown.

     SEC. 4353. DEFINITIONS.

       For the purposes of this subtitle:
       (1) The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary of Defense.
       (2) The terms ``compensation'', ``service-connected'',

     made to such agencies pursuant to any such contract or 
     agreement for reasonable and necessary expenses of salary and 
     travel incurred by employees of such agencies in carrying out 
     such duties. Each such payment may be made only from funds 
     available to the implementing official pursuant to section 
     4366(a)(3).
       (2) Each State approving agency with which a contract or 
     agreement is entered into under this section shall submit to

     material respect, the amount of such overpayment shall 
     constitute a liability of the employer to the United States.
       (B) Whenever such official finds that an employer has 
     failed in any substantial respect to comply for a period of 
     time with a requirement established under this subtitle 
     (unless the employer's failure is the result of false or 
     incomplete information provided by the eligible person), each 
     amount paid to the employer on behalf of an eligible person 
     for that period shall be considered to be an overpayment 
     under this subtitle, and the amount of such overpayment shall 
     constitute a liability of the employer to the United States.
       (2) Whenever such official finds that an overpayment under 
     this subtitle has been made to an employer on behalf of an 
     eligible person as a result of a certification by the 
     eligible person, or as a result of information provided to an 
     employer or contained in an application submitted by the 
     eligible person, which was willfully or negligently false in 
     any material respect, the amount of such overpayment shall

     assistance under this subtitle, the employer shall notify 
     such official of the employer's intention to employ that

     further participation by eligible persons in that program.

     of such programs, such official shall disapprove 
     participation in such programs on the part of eligible 
     persons who had not begun such participation on the date that 
     the employer is notified of the disapproval. In determining 
     whether any such rate is disproportionately low because of 
     such deficiencies, such official shall take into account 
     appropriate data, including--
       (A) the quarterly data provided by the Secretary of Labor 
     with respect to the number of eligible persons who receive 
     counseling in connection with training under this subtitle, 
     are referred to employers under this subtitle, participate in 
     job training under this subtitle, and complete such training 
     or do not complete such training, and the reasons for 
     noncompletion; and
       (B) data compiled through the particular employer's 
     compliance surveys.
       (2) With respect to a disapproval under paragraph (1), the 
     implementing official shall provide to the employer concerned 
     the kind of statement, opportunity for hearing, and notice 
     described in subsection (a).
       (3) A disapproval under paragraph (1) shall remain in

     changes referred to in the preceding paragraphs.
       (d) Use of Grants.--Grants made under the pilot program may 
     be used to determine the needs of the communities in a study 
     area as they experience the economic dislocation associated 
     with the closure of military installations, the cancellation 
     or completion of defense contracts, or reductions in defense 
     spending and develop responses tailored to those needs

     the communities.
       (e) Monitoring of Grant Use.--The Secretary of Defense 
     shall monitor the activities under the pilot project to

     successful in addressing similar economic dislocation in 
     other communities in the United States.
       (f) Funding.--Of the amount appropriated to the Department 
     of Defense under section 4101 for fiscal year 1993 for

       (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The reduction in the size of the United States military

     Department of Defense that are in excess of current and 
     projected requirements of the Department of Defense.
       (2) Agencies of State and local governments, many of which 
     are suffering economic hardship, may be able to use the 
     excess nonlethal supplies to create jobs for the citizens of 
     the United States and to stimulate national economic growth.
       (3) Agencies of State and local governments that 
     demonstrate how they would utilize the supplies to create 
     jobs and stimulate economic growth should be given priority 
     in the transfer of the supplies by the Department of Defense.
       (b) Development of Plan for the Transfer of Certain 
     Nonlethal Supplies.--(1) The Secretary of Defense shall 
     develop a plan to transfer to agencies of State and local 
     governments nonlethal supplies that the Secretary of Defense 
     determines are in excess of current and projected 
     requirements of the Department of Defense. The plan shall 
     provide--
       (A) that agencies of State and local governments shall be 
     eligible to receive the supplies before the supplies are made 
     available for transfer to other Federal agencies or 
     nonFederal entities;
       (B) that the supplies shall be available for transfer to 
     agencies of State and local governments without 
     reimbursement, except that the cost of transportation and 
     repair of the supplies shall be paid by the agency receiving 
     the supplies;
       (C) that, before supplies may be transferred to an agency 
     of a State or local government, the agency shall submit to 
     the Secretary of Defense an operational plan that is subject 
     to the approval of the Secretary of Defense and that details 
     how the agency will utilize the supplies to create jobs or 
     stimulate economic growth;
       (D) that supplies transferred under the plan may not be 
     transferred by the agency receiving the supplies to any 
     individual, public or private person, or other agency before 
     the end of the 5-year period beginning on the date on which 
     the supplies are transferred to the agency;
       (E) that supplies available for transfer under the plan are 
     supplies that are located in the continental United States;
       (F) for the fair and equitable allocation among States and 
     local governments of supplies transferred under the plan; and
       (G) for such other matters that the Secretary of Defense 
     considers appropriate to carry out the plan.
       (2) Not later than February 15, 1993, the Secretary of 
     Defense shall submit to the Congress a report containing the 
     plan referred to in paragraph (1).
       (c) Definitions.--In this section:
       (1) The term ``State'' includes the District of Columbia, 
     American Samoa, the Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, the 
     Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Commonwealth of the 
     Northern Mariana Islands, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico,

     include training software and other appropriate vocational 
     educational materials used by the Armed Forces.

     retirement benefits.
       (c) Special Early Retirement Benefits.--Special early

     contractor for purposes of this section shall be specified in 
     the contract with the Department of Defense and shall include 
     the following:
       (1) The right of the employee to a basic lifetime pension 
     benefit under the employer's pension plan that covers that 
     employee, which pension benefit shall be the same as the 
     normal retirement benefit provided under that plan without 
     reduction for age and which shall commence on the date on 
     which the employee meets the eligibility criteria set forth 
     in subsection (d).
       (2) A supplemental pension benefit equal to $500 per month, 
     which shall commence on the date on which the employee meets 
     the eligibility criteria set forth in subsection (d) and 
     which shall terminate one month after the month in which the 
     employee attains age 62.
       (d) Eligible Employee Defined.--An employee of a major 
     defense contractor shall be eligible for the special early 
     retirement benefits under this section if the employee--
       (1) is laid off or terminated from employment under a 
     Department of Defense contract held by the contractor 
     (whether or not the contract is one that itself includes the 
     contract provisions required by this section);
       (2) is a participant in a pension plan maintained by the 
     contractor;
       (3) has attained the age of 55 years at the time of the 
     layoff or termination or will have attained that age by 
     December 31st of the year following the layoff or 
     termination; and
       (4) has at least 10 years of credited service under that 
     pension plan as of the date of the layoff or termination.
       (e) Voluntary Eligibility.--An employee who meets the age 
     and service requirements under subsection (d) for the special 
     early retirement benefits but who is not laid off or 
     terminated may, by mutual agreement with the employer, 
     volunteer to be laid off and receive special early retirement 
     benefits, if the employer agrees to retain in employment an 
     employee with less seniority or age who otherwise would be 
     laid off or terminated in lieu of the individual who 
     volunteers for the special early retirement benefits.
       (f) Major Defense Contractor Defined.--For purposes of this 
     section, a business firm shall be considered to be a major 
     defense contractor if the average annual dollar volume of 
     contracts of that firm with the Department of Defense for the 
     fiscal years 1989, 1990, and 1991 was greater than 
     $100,000,000.
       (g) Effective Date.--This section shall apply to contracts 
     entered into after the end of the 90-day period beginning on 
     the date of the enactment of this Act.

Para. 65.28  privileges of the house

  Mr. HAMILTON rose to a question of the privileges of the House and 
submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 477):

       Whereas, the House of Representatives in the 100th 
     Congress, 1st Session, adopted House Resolution 12 on January 
     7, 1987 establishing the Select Committee to Investigate 
     Covert Arms Transactions with Iran, and authorizing that 
     committee, during its continuance, to respond to judicial or 
     other process consistent with Rule L;
       Whereas, the House of Representatives in the 100th 
     Congress, 1st Session, adopted House Resolution 330 on 
     December 10, 1987 providing for the termination of that 
     Select Committee on March 1, 1988 and for the transmittal of 
     its records to the Clerk of the House for storage in the 
     National Archives;
       Whereas, the Office of Independent Counsel as part of its 
     continuing criminal investigation of Iran/Contra matters has 
     in a letter to the General Counsel to the Clerk dated June 1, 
     1992 requested certain testimonial and documentary 
     information in connection with the June 17, 1987 deposition 
     of former Secretary of Defense Casper W. Weinberger (taken in 
     a closed proceeding of that Select Committee pursuant to 
     House Resolution 12);
       Whereas, by the privileges of the House, no evidence under 
     the control of the House can, either by the mandate of 
     process of the ordinary courts of justice or pursuant to 
     requests by appropriate Federal or State authorities, be 
     taken from such control except by the permission of the 
     House: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the testimonial and documentary evidence in 
     connection with the June 17, 1987 deposition of former 
     Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger as outlined in the 
     request of June 1, 1992 by the Independent Counsel, be 
     furnished at the direction of the Clerk of the House in a 
     manner consistent with the privileges and precedents of the 
     House.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MURTHA, ruled that the resolution 
submitted did present a question of the privileges of the House under 
rule IX.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. HAMILTON, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection and under the operation thereof

  So the amendment was not agreed to.
  After some further time,
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HOYER, assumed the Chair.
  When Mr. COX of Illinois, Acting Chairman, pursuant to House 
Resolution 474, reported the bill back to the House with an amendment 
adopted by the Committee.
  The previous question having been ordered by said resolution.
  Mr. SOLOMON demanded a separate vote on the amendment on page 202, 
line 23 (the Frank amendment).
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to the following amendment on which a separate 
vote had been demanded?

       At the end of title X (page 202, after line 23), insert the 
     following new section:

     SEC.  . REDUCTIONS FOR ACCELERATED WITHDRAWAL OF UNITED 
                   STATES FORCES FROM EUROPE, JAPAN, AND KOREA OR 
                   INCREASED HOST-NATION SUPPORT.

       (a) Overall Authorization Reduction.--The total amount 
     authorized to be appropriated by this Act for fiscal year 
     1993 is the sum of the separate authorizations contained in 
     this Act for that fiscal year reduced by $3,500,000.
       (b) Troops in Europe, Japan, and Korea.--Reductions in 
     amounts authorized to be appropriated to the Department of 
     Defense to achieve the overall reduction required by 
     subsection (a) may only be made from funds for programs, 
     projects, and activities for the support of United States 
     forces assigned to or stationed in Europe, Japan, or Korea. 
     The effect on those programs, projects, and activities of 
     such reductions in amounts authorized to be appropriated may 
     be accounted for through either or a combination of the 
     following:
       (1) Increases in the level of host-nation support.
       (2) Accelerated withdrawal of United States forces or 
     equipment assigned to or stationed in Europe, Japan, or 
     Korea.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HOYER, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. SOLOMON demanded a recorded vote on agreeing to said amendment, 
which demand was supported by one-fifth of a quorum, so a recorded vote 
was ordered.

     all multiple independently targeted re-entry vehicle (MIRV) 
     warheads from intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs); 
     and
       (2) encourages the President to move as quickly as possible 
     in negotiations to terminate the Peacekeeper ICBM program and 
     to reduce the number of warheads on the Minuteman III ICBMs 
     from three to one.
       (b) Limitation on Redeployment of Minuteman III ICBMs.--
     Funds authorized to be appropriated for fiscal year 1993 or 
     any preceding fiscal year in this or any other Act may not be 
     obligated or expended for the redeployment or transfer of 
     operationally deployed Minuteman III missiles from one Air 
     Force ICBM base to another unless and until the Secretary of 
     the Defense submits to Congress a plan for restructuring the 
     ICBM and bomber forces of the United States described in 
     subsection (c).
       (c) Revised Force Structure Plan for ICBMs and Strategic 
     Bombers.--The plan referred to in subsection (b) shall be 
     consistent with the terms of the Strategic Arms Reduction 
     Treaty (START) signed by the United States and the Soviet 
     Union. The plan shall include the following:
       (1) A description of the size and makeup of the strategic 
     nuclear force triad and the rationale for the proposed 
     decisions.
       (2) A discussion of the force structure options that were 
     considered in developing the plan, and in particular, a 
     discussion of which options are consistent with the 
     President's proposed plan for an ICBM force from which all 
     MIRV'd warheads have been removed.
       (3) For each option discussed under paragraph (2), a 
     statement of the location at which strategic bombers and 
     Minuteman III ICBMs would be deployed and the number of each 
     such system at each location, including the number of ICBM 
     warheads deployed at each location
       (4) The cost of each such option, including--
       (A) the costs of transferring bomber and missile assets 
     from one operating location to another;
       (B) military construction costs associated with such a 
     transfer;
       (C) the costs of the conversion of silos from the Minuteman 
     II and Peacekeeper configurations to the Minuteman III 
     configuration; and
       (D) the operations and maintenance costs or savings, by 
     operating base, under each option.
       (5) A discussion of factors other than cost, such as 
     survivability (either through dispersal or silo hardness) or 
     target achievability, which underlay each of the options.
       (6) A discussion of the potential advantages or cost 
     savings associated with dual basing of strategic bombers and 
     ICBMs.
       (7) In the case of any base which currently has a missile 
     wing which the plan proposes to disestablish or move to 
     another base, plans for the disposition of that base or the 
     transfer of the remaining functions or missions at that base, 
     together with a statement of the costs associated with any 
     such change.
       (8) A timetable for the initiation of the START drawdown 
     and deadlines for the per-

[[Page 1040]]

     formance of certain activities, such as silo conversion or 
     missile redeployments, which would occur under the plan in 
     order to meet warhead sub-limits established under the START 
     Treaty.
       (d) Conforming Repealer.--Section 153(b) of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1992 and 1993 
     (Public Law 102-190; 105 Stat. 1313) is repealed.

     requirement of section 1412(a) of Public Law 99-145 to carry 
     out the destruction of the United States stockpile of lethal 
     chemical agents and munitions, the Secretary of Defense shall 
     develop a chemical weapons disposal program for low-volume 
     sites that is an alternative program to the baseline chemical 
     weapons disposal program. In developing the alternative 
     disposal program, the Secretary shall make the determinations 
     of the Chemical Demilitarization Advisory Committee a central 
     consideration. The Secretary shall carry out the disposal of 
     chemical weapons at any of the low-volume sites at which the 
     use of an alternative program is determined by the Secretary 
     either to be significantly safer or more cost-effective than 
     the use of the baseline program. In addition, the Secretary 
     may carry out the disposal of chemical weapons at sites other 
     than low-volume sites in accordance with an alternative 
     program (rather than the baseline program) after notifying 
     Congress of the Secretary's intent to do so.
       (b) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term 
     ``baseline chemical weapons disposal program'' means the 
     chemical stockpile demilitarization program provided under 
     section 1412 of Public Law 99-145 (50 U.S.C. 1521).
       (c) Criteria for Development of Alternative Program.--In 
     developing the alternative program, the Secretary of Defense 
     shall--
       (1) ensure that cost-effectiveness, public safety, and the 
     protection of the environment are the principal criteria upon 
     which the Secretary's decision are based; and
       (2) consider all possible technical and programmatic 
     disposal alternatives.
       (d) Applicability of Certain Provisions of Section 1412.--
     Subsections (c), (e), (f), and (g) of section 1412 of Public 
     Law 99-145 (50 U.S.C. 1521) shall apply to this section and 
     to activities under this section in the same manner as if 
     this section were part of that section 1412.

     SEC. 174. REVISED CHEMICAL WEAPONS DISPOSAL CONCEPT PLAN.

       (a) Revised Plan.--The Secretary of Defense shall submit to 
     Congress a revised chemical weapons disposal concept plan 
     incorporating the requirements of section 173 and reflecting 
     the revised stockpile disposal schedule developed under 
     section 1412(b) of Public Law 99-145 (50 U.S.C. 1521), as 
     amend-

[[Page 1041]]

     ed by section 171. In developing the revised concept plan, 
     the Secretary should consider, to the maximum extent 
     practicable, revisions to the program and program schedule 
     that capitalize on the changes to the chemical 
     demilitarization schedule required by the amendment made by 
     section 171 by reducing cost and decreasing program risk.
       (b) Matters To Be Included.--The revised concept plan 
     should include--
       (1) revised life-cycle cost estimates and schedules; and
       (2) a detailed description of the facilities, technology, 
     and operating procedures proposed under the alternative 
     disposal program under section 173.
       (c) Applicability of Certain Provisions of Section 1412.--
     Subsection (c) of section 1412 of Public Law 99-145 (50 
     U.S.C. 1521) shall apply to the revised concept plan in the 
     same manner as if this section were part of that section 
     1412.
       (d) Submission of Revised Plan.--The revised concept plan 
     shall be submitted not later than 180 days after the date on 
     which the Chemical Demilitarization Advisory Commission 
     submits its report under section 172.
       (e) Obligational Limitation.--No funds may be obligated for 
     procurement, or for facilities planning and design, for a 
     chemical weapons disposal facility at a site under 
     consideration for the alternative program under section 173 
     until the Secretary of Defense submits the plan required by 
     subsection (a).

     SEC. 175. CHEMICAL WEAPONS DISPOSAL TECHNOLOGY CONSULTATION 
                   AND EXCHANGE PROGRAM.

       It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of Defense, 
     in consultation with the Secretary of State, should establish 
     a program with other nations that are anticipated to be 
     signatories to an international agreement or treaty banning 
     chemical weapons under which consultation and exchange 
     concerning chemical weapons disposal technology could be 
     enhanced. Such a program shall be used to facilitate the 
     exchange of technical information and advice concerning the 
     disposal of chemical weapons among signatory nations and to 
     further the development of safer, more cost-effective methods 
     for the disposal of chemical weapons.

     Defense school specified under subsection (d) may accept an 
     honorarium for an appearance, a speech, or an article 
     published in a bona fide publication if such an appearance, 
     speech, or article is customary for scholarly or academic

     student, shall not be considered to relate primarily to the 
     responsibilities, policies, or programs of the school at 
     which the individual is a faculty member or student if the 
     preparation and presentation of the particular appearance, 
     speech, or article is clearly outside of the individual's 
     duties.
       (c) Noncoverage of Highly Paid Faculty Members.--Subsection

     to faculty members and students at any of the service

     $2,000.
       (g) Effective Date.--This section shall apply with respect

       (a) Regulations.--The Secretary of Defense, and the

     when it is not operating as a service in the Navy, shall 
     prescribe regulations that contain the requirements set forth 
     in subsections (b), (c), and (d). In prescribing the 
     regulations, each Secretary shall take into account any 
     guidelines regarding psychiatric hospitalization of adults 
     prepared by professional civilian health organizations.
       (b) Procedures for Outpatient and Inpatient Evaluations.--
     (1) The regulations shall require that, except as provided in 
     paragraph (4), a commanding officer shall consult with a 
     mental health professional prior to referring a member of the 
     Armed Forces for a mental health evaluation to be conducted 
     on an outpatient basis.
       (2) The regulations shall require that, except as provided 
     in paragraph (4)--
       (A) a mental health evaluation of a member of the Armed 
     Forces conducted on an inpatient basis shall be used only if 
     and when such an evaluation cannot appropriately or 
     reasonably be conducted on an outpatient basis, in accordance 
     with the least restrictive alternative principle; and
       (B) only mental health professionals, or, in cases in which 
     a mental health professional is not available, physicians, 
     may admit a member of the Armed Forces for a mental health 
     evaluation to be conducted on an inpatient basis.
       (3) The regulations shall require that, when a commanding 
     officer determines it is necessary to refer a member of the 
     Armed Forces for a mental health evaluation, the commanding 
     officer shall ensure that, except as provided in paragraph 
     (4), the member is provided with a written notice of the 
     referral. The notice shall, at a minimum, include the 
     following:
       (A) The date and time the mental health evaluation is 
     scheduled.
       (B) An explanation of why the referral is considered 
     necessary.
       (C) The name or names of the mental health professionals 
     with whom the commanding officer has consulted prior to 
     making the referral. If such consultation is not possible, 
     the notice shall include the reasons why.
       (D) The positions and telephone numbers of authorities, 
     including attorneys and inspectors general, who can assist a 
     member who feels referral for mental health evaluation is 
     without basis or is made for retributive reasons and wishes 
     to challenge the referral.
       (E) The rights of the member under this section, including 
     rights of redress.
       (F) The member's signature attesting to having received the 
     information described in subparagraphs (A) through (E). If 
     the member refuses to sign the attestation, the commanding 
     officer shall so indicate in the notice. If the member 
     believes the referral is in retaliation for making 
     disclosures protected under section 1034 of title 10, United 
     States Code, information regarding such belief shall, upon 
     the request of the member, be included in the notice.
       (4) The regulations shall require that, during emergencies, 
     the procedures required by subsection (d) shall be followed 
     in lieu of the procedures required by this subsection.
       (c) Member Rights To Seek Redress.--The regulations shall 
     require that, in any case in which a member of the Armed 
     Forces is referred for a mental health evaluation other than 
     in an emergency, the following provisions apply:
       (1) Upon the request of the member, an Inspector General or 
     attorney who is a member

[[Page 1054]]

     of the Armed Forces or employed by the Department of Defense 
     and who is designated to provide advice under this section 
     shall advise the member of the ways in which the member may 
     seek redress under this section. If a member of the Armed 
     Forces submits to an Inspector General an allegation that the 
     member was referred for a mental health evaluation in 
     violation of this section, the Inspector General of the 
     Department of Defense (or the Inspector General of the 
     Department of Transportation, in the case of a member of the 
     Coast Guard when the Coast Guard is not operating as a 
     service in the Navy) shall conduct or oversee an 
     investigation of the allegation.
       (2) The member shall have the right to also be evaluated by 
     a mental health professional of the member's own choosing. An 
     evaluation by a mental health professional who is not an 
     employee of the Department of Defense shall be conducted 
     within a reasonable period of time after being referred for 
     an evaluation and shall be at the member's own expense.
       (3) No one shall interfere with or prohibit the member from 
     communicating with an Inspector General, attorney, member of 
     Congress, or others about the member's referral for a mental 
     health evaluation.
       (4) In situations other than emergencies, the member shall 
     have at least two business days before a scheduled mental 
     health evaluation to seek advice from an attorney, Inspector 
     General, chaplain, or other appropriate party. If a 
     commanding officer believes the condition of the member 
     requires that such evaluation occur sooner, the commanding 
     officer shall state the reasons in writing as part of the 
     notice required under subsection (b)(3).
       (5) In the event the member is aboard a navy vessel or in a 
     circumstance related to the member's military duties which 
     makes compliance with any of the procedures in subsection (b) 
     impractical, the commanding officer seeking the referral 
     shall prepare a memorandum setting forth the reasons for 
     failure to comply with such procedures.
       (d) Additional Rights of Members and Procedures for 
     Emergency or Involuntary Inpatient Evaluations.--
       (1) The regulations shall require that a member of the 
     Armed Forces may be admitted, under criteria for admission 
     set forth in the regulations, to a treatment facility for an 
     emergency or involuntary mental health evaluation when there 
     is reasonable cause to believe that the member may be 
     suffering from a mental disorder. The regulations shall 
     include definitions of the terms ``emergency'' and ``mental 
     disorder''.
       (2) The regulations shall require that, in any case in 
     which a member of the Armed Forces is admitted to a treatment 
     facility for an emergency or involuntary mental health 
     evaluation, the following provisions apply:
       (A) Every effort shall be made, as soon after admission as 
     the member's condition permits, to inform the member of the 
     reasons for the evaluation, the nature and consequences of 
     the evaluation and any treatment, and the member's rights 
     under this section.
       (B) The member shall have the right to contact, as soon 
     after admission as the member's condition permits, a friend, 
     relative, attorney, or Inspector General.
       (C) The member shall be evaluated by a psychiatrist or a 
     physician within two business days after admittance, to 
     determine if continued hospitalization and treatment is 
     justified or if the member should be released from the 
     facility.
       (D) If a determination is made that continued 
     hospitalization and treatment is justified, the member must 
     be notified orally and in writing of the reasons for such 
     determination.
       (E) A review of the admission of the member and the 
     appropriateness of continued hospitalization and treatment 
     shall be conducted in accordance with procedures set forth in 
     the regulations as required under paragraph (3).
       (3) The regulations shall include procedures for the review 
     referred to in paragraph (2)(E). Such procedures shall--
       (A) specify the appropriate party or parties outside the 
     individual's chain of command to conduct the review;
       (B) specify the appropriate procedure for conducting the 
     review;
       (C) require that the member have the right to 
     representation in such review by an attorney of the member's 
     choosing at the member's expense, or by a judge advocate;
       (D) specify the periods of time within which the review and 
     any subsequent reviews should be conducted;
       (E) specify the criteria to be used to determine whether 
     continued treatment or discharge from the facility is 
     appropriate;
       (F) require the party or parties conducting the review to 
     assess whether or not the mental health evaluation was used 
     in an inappropriate, punitive, or retributive manner in 
     violation of this section; and
       (G) require that an assessment made pursuant to 
     subparagraph (F) that the mental health evaluation was used 
     in a manner in violation of this section shall be reported to 
     the Inspector General of the Department of Defense (or the 
     Inspector General of the Department of Transportation, in the 
     case of a member of the Coast Guard when the Coast Guard is 
     not operating as a service in the Navy) and included by the 
     Inspector General as part of the Inspector General's annual 
     report.
       (e) Construction.--Nothing in the regulations prescribed 
     under this section shall be construed to discourage referrals 
     for appropriate mental health evaluations when circumstances 
     suggest the need for such action.
       (f) Prohibition Against the Use of Referrals for Mental 
     Health Evaluations to Retaliate Against Whistleblowers.--(1) 
     No person may refer a member of the Armed Forces for a mental 
     health evaluation as a reprisal for making or preparing a 
     lawful communication of the type described in section 
     1034(c)(2) of title 10, United States Code, and applicable 
     regulations. For purposes of this subsection, such 
     communication also shall include a communication to any 
     appropriate authority in the chain of command of the member.
       (2) An inappropriate referral for a mental health 
     evaluation, when taken as a reprisal for a communication 
     referred to in paragraph (1), may be the basis for a 
     proceeding under section 892 of title 10, United States Code. 
     Persons not subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice 
     who fail to comply with the provisions of this section are 
     subject to adverse administrative action.

     health care in military treatment facilities regardless of

     enactment of this Act (including the CHAMPUS Reform 
     initiative, the Catchment Area Management projects, and the 
     CHAMPUS Select fiscal intermediary program in the Southeast 
     Region), the managed health care program established in the 
     Tidewater region of Virginia, and future managed health care 
     initiatives undertaken by the Department of Defense to offer

     fitness evaluation. Any such transfer shall be made not later 
     than 90 days after the date on which the determination that 
     the member does not meet such standards is made. If a member 
     so transferred due to failure to successfully complete a

     require--
       (1) that unit premobilization training emphasize individual 
     soldier qualification and training at the crew, squad, and

     system for units of the Army Reserve and Army National Guard 
     to ensure that the rating system provides an accurate 
     assessment of the deployability of a unit and those 
     shortfalls of a unit that require the provision of additional 
     resources. In making such modifications, the Secretary shall 
     ensure that the unit readiness rating system is designed so--
       (1) that the personnel readiness rating of a unit 
     reflects--
       (A) both the percentage of the overall personnel

     to the congressional defense committees a monthly report, for

     rental of such a system for a new capability, may not be 
     obligated until after the date of the submission of the 
     report under subsection (d).
       (f) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term 
     ``counter-drug detection and surveillance systems'' means

                   EFFORT TO LIMIT THE SUPPLY OF ILLEGAL 
                   NARCOTICS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Illicit drug use is increasing in virtually all regions 
     of the world, including nations with which the United States 
     has mutual defense agreements.

       (3) The Department of Defense expended over $1,000,000,000 
     in fiscal year 1991 to combat the international production 
     and trafficking of illegal narcotics.
       (4) The largest share of international resources devoted to 
     disrupting the production of illegal narcotics at their 
     source is provided by the United States.

     nations benefit.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) all nations which are experiencing problems with 
     illegal narcotics should contribute commensurate with their 
     resources to efforts to curb the production of illicit 
     narcotics at their source; and
       (2) the United States should encourage nations with which 
     it has mutual defense agreements to make greater 
     contributions to this effort in the interest of preserving 
     international security.

     funds made available for the counter-drug activities of the 
     National Guard) to assist State outreach programs intended to 
     reduce the demand for illegal drugs among young people. As 
     part of the report, the Secretary shall determine whether the 
     provision of such assistance would complement, rather than 
     duplicate, similar efforts undertaken by other Federal 
     agencies.
       (b) Consultation.--The Secretary of Defense shall prepare 
     the report required by subsection (a) in consultation with 
     the Chief of the National Guard Bureau.

     Investigations.--(1) Subchapter II of chapter 134 of title 
     10, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the 
     following new section:

     ``Sec. 2254. Treatment of reports of aircraft accident and 
       safety investigations

       ``(a) In General.--(1) Whenever the Secretary of a military 
     department conducts an accident investigation or a safety 
     investigation of an accident involving an aircraft under the 
     jurisdiction of the Secretary, the records and report of the 
     investigations shall be treated in accordance with this 
     section.
       ``(2) For purposes of this section, a safety investigation 
     is an investigation conducted solely to determine the cause 
     of an aircraft accident and to obtain information that may 
     prevent the occurrence of similar accidents. An accident 
     investigation is any form of investigation concerning the 
     accident that is not a safety investigation.
       ``(b) Disclosure of Safety Investigation Results to 
     Congressional Committees.--(1) The Secretary concerned shall 
     furnish the records and reports of a safety investigation to 
     the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate or the

     upon the request of the chairman and ranking minority member 
     of that committee.

     records or reports of a safety investigation as furnished 
     under paragraph (1) shall preserve confidentiality of the 
     contents thereof and may not publicly disclose any 
     information contained therein.
       ``(c) Public Disclosure of Certain Accident Investigation 
     Information.--(1) The Secretary concerned shall publicly 
     disclose unclassified tapes, scientific reports, and other 
     information pertinent to an aircraft accident investigation, 
     before the release of the final accident investigation report 
     relating to the accident if the Secretary concerned 
     determines that release of such information or reports--
       ``(A) would not undermine the ability of accident 
     investigators to continue to conduct the investigation; and
       ``(B) would not compromise national security.
       ``(2) A disclosure under paragraph (1) may not be made by 
     or through officials with responsibility for, or who are 
     conducting, a safety investigation with respect to the 
     accident.
       ``(d) Findings Regarding Causation of Accident.--Following 
     a military aircraft accident--
       ``(1) if the facts and circumstances surrounding the 
     accident show the cause or causes of the accident by clear 
     and convincing evidence (as determined by the Secretary 
     concerned), the final report of the accident investigation 
     shall contain a clear conclusory statement or determination 
     setting forth the cause or causes of the accident; and
       ``(2) if the facts and circumstances surrounding the 
     accident do not show the cause or causes of the accident by 
     clear and convincing evidence (as determined by the Secretary 
     concerned), the final report of the accident investigation 
     shall contain a section

[[Page 1067]]

     describing those factors that, in the opinion of the 
     investigators who conducted the accident investigation, 
     substantially contributed to or caused the accident.
       ``(e) Use of Information in Civil Proceedings.--For 
     purposes of any civil or criminal proceeding arising from an 
     aircraft accident, the conclusions or statements of factors 
     contributing to the accident set forth in the accident 
     investigation report may not be considered as evidence in 
     such proceeding, nor may such information be considered an 
     admission of liability by the United States or by any person 
     referred to in those conclusions or statements.''.
       (2) The table of sections at the beginning of such 
     subchapter is amended by adding at the end the following new 
     item:

``2254. Treatment of reports of aircraft accident and safety 
              investigations.''.
       (b) Effective Date.--Section 2254 of title 10, United 
     States Code, as added by subsection (a), shall apply with

     notification, the Secretary concerned shall ensure that the 
     family members--
       (A) in any case in which the cause or circumstances 
     surrounding the death are under investigation, are informed 
     of that fact, of the names of the agencies within the 
     Department of Defense conducting the investigations, and the 
     existence of any reports by such agencies that have been or 
     will be issued as a result of the investigations; and
       (B) are furnished, if the family members so desire, a copy 
     of any investigative report and any other fatality reports 
     and records that are available at the time family members are 
     provided the information described in subparagraph (A).
       (3) Assistance in obtaining reports.--(A) In any case in 
     which an investigative report or other fatality reports and 
     records are not available at the time family members of a 
     service member are provided the information described in 
     paragraph (2)(A) about the member's death, the Secretary 
     concerned shall ensure that a copy of such investigative 
     report and any other fatality reports and records are 
     furnished to the family members, if they so desire, when the 
     reports and records become available, to the extent such 
     reports and records may be furnished consistent with section 
     552 and 552a of title 5, United States Code.
       (B) In any case in which an investigative report or other 
     fatality reports and records cannot be released at the time

     information described in paragraph (2)(A) about the member's 
     death because of section 552 or 552a of title 5, United 
     States Code, the Secretary concerned shall ensure that the

       (i) are informed about the requirements and procedures 
     necessary to obtain a copy of such reports and records; and
       (ii) are assisted, if the family members so desire, in 
     complying with such requirements and procedures.
       (C) The requirement of subparagraph (B) to inform and 
     assist family members in obtaining copies of fatality reports 
     and records shall continue until a copy of each report and 
     record is obtained, or access to any such report or record is 
     denied by competent authority.
       (4) Waiver.--The requirements of paragraph (2) or (3) may 
     be waived on a case-by-case basis, but only if the Secretary 
     of the military department concerned determines that 
     compliance with such requirements is not in the interests of 
     national security.
       (b) Review of Fatality Notification Procedures.--
       (1) Review.--The Secretary of Defense shall conduct a 
     review of the fatality notification procedures used by the 
     military departments. Such review shall examine the following 
     matters:
       (A) Whether uniformity in fatality notification procedures 
     among the military departments is desirable, particularly 
     with respect to--
       (i) the use of one or two casualty notification and 
     assistance officers;
       (ii) the use of standardized fatality report forms and 
     witness statements;
       (iii) the use of a single center for all military 
     departments through which fatality information may be 
     processed; and
       (iv) the use of uniform procedures and the provision of a 
     dispute resolution process for instances in which members of 
     one of the Armed Forces inflict casualties on members of 
     another of the Armed Forces.
       (B) Whether existing fatality report forms should be 
     modified to include a block or blocks with which to identify 
     the cause of death as ``friendly fire'', ``U.S. ordnance'', 
     or ``unknown''.
       (C) Whether the existing ``Emergency Data'' form prepared 
     by members of the Armed Forces should be revised to allow 
     members to specify provision for notification of additional 
     family members in cases such as the case of a divorced 
     service member who leaves children with both a current and a 
     former spouse.
       (D) Whether the military departments should, in all cases, 
     provide family members of a service member who died in the 
     line of duty with full and complete details of the death of 
     the service member, even in cases where such details may be 
     graphic, embarrassing to the family members, or reflect badly 
     on the military department concerned.
       (E) Whether, and when, the military departments should 
     inform family members of a service member who died in the 
     line of duty about the possibility that the death may have 
     been the result of friendly fire.
       (F) The criteria and standards which the military 
     departments should use in deciding when disclosure is 
     appropriate to family members of a member of the military 
     forces of an allied nation who died in the line of duty when 
     the death may have been the result of fire from United States 
     armed forces and an investigation into the cause or 
     circumstances of the death has been conducted.
       (2) Report.--The Secretary of Defense shall submit to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of 
     Representatives a report on the review conducted under 
     paragraph (1). Such report shall be submitted not later than

     SEC. 1056. REDUCTIONS FOR ACCELERATED WITHDRAWAL OF UNITED 
                   STATES FORCES FROM EUROPE, JAPAN, AND KOREA OR 
                   INCREASED HOST-NATION SUPPORT.

       (a) Overall Authorization Reduction.--The total amount 
     authorized to be appropriated by this Act for fiscal year 
     1993 is the sum of the separate authorizations contained in 
     this Act for that fiscal year reduced by $3,500,000,000.
       (b) Troops in Europe, Japan, and Korea.--Reductions in 
     amounts authorized to be appropriated to the Department of 
     Defense to achieve the overall reduction required by 
     subsection (a) may only be made from funds for programs, 
     projects, and activities for the support of United States 
     forces assigned to or stationed in Europe, Japan, or Korea. 
     The effect on those programs, projects, and activities of 
     such reductions in amounts authorized to be appropriated may 
     be accounted for through either or a combination of the 
     following:
       (1) Increases in the level of host-nation support.
       (2) Accelerated withdrawal of United States forces or 
     equipment assigned to or stationed in Europe, Japan, or 
     Korea.

     SEC. 1057. REDUCTION IN THE AUTHORIZED END STRENGTH FOR THE 
                   NUMBER OF MILITARY PERSONNEL IN EUROPE.

       Subsection (c)(1) of section 1002 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act, 1985 (22 U.S.C. 1928 note), is amended in 
     the first sentence by inserting after ``235,700'' the 
     following: ``members before September 30, 1995, and 100,000 
     members on and after that date''.

     SEC. 1058. REDUCTION OF DEFENSE EXPENDITURES OUTSIDE THE 
                   UNITED STATES.

       (a) Reduction in United States Force Levels Abroad.--On and 
     after September 30, 1995, no appropriated funds may be used 
     to support an end strength level of members of the Armed 
     Forces of the United States assigned to permanent duty ashore 
     in nations outside the United States at any level in excess 
     of 60 percent of the end strength level of such members on 
     September 30, 1992.
       (b) Exceptions.--Subsection (a) shall not apply in the 
     event of a declaration of war or an armed attack on any 
     member nation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, 
     Japan, the Republic of Korea, or other ally of the United 
     States. The President may also waive operation of subsection 
     (a) if the President declares an emergency and immediately 
     notifies Congress.

     SEC. 1059. NUCLEAR WEAPONS REDUCTION.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) on February 1, 1992, the President of the United States 
     and the President of the Russian Federation agreed in a Joint 
     Statement that ``Russia and the United States do not regard 
     each other as potential adversaries'' and stated further 
     that, ``We will work to remove any remnants of cold war 
     hostility, including taking steps to reduce our strategic 
     arsenals'';
       (2) in the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear 
     Weapons, in exchange for the non-nuclear-weapon states 
     agreeing not to seek a nuclear weapons capability nor to 
     assist other non-nuclear-weapon states in doing so, the 
     United States agreed to seek the complete elimination of all 
     nuclear weapons worldwide, as declared in the preamble to the 
     Treaty, which states that it is a goal of the parties to the 
     Treaty to ``facilitate the cessation of the manufacture of 
     nuclear weapons, the liquidation of all their existing 
     stockpiles, and the elimination from national arsenals of 
     nuclear weapons and the means of their delivery'' as well as 
     in Article VI of the Treaty, which states that ``each of the 
     parties to the Treaty undertakes to pursue negotiations in 
     good faith on effective measures relating to the cessation of 
     the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear 
     disarmament'';
       (3) carrying out a policy of seeking significant and 
     continuous reductions in the nuclear arsenals of all 
     countries, besides reducing the likelihood of the 
     proliferation of nuclear weapons and increasing the 
     likelihood of a successful extension and possible 
     strengthening of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of 
     Nuclear Weapons in 1995, when the Treaty is scheduled for 
     review and possible extension, has additional benefits to the 
     national security of the United States, including--
       (A) a reduced risk of accidental enablement and launch of a 
     nuclear weapon, and
       (B) a defense cost savings which could be reallocated for 
     deficit reduction or other important national needs;
       (4) proposals by the President of the United States and the 
     President of the Russian Federation to reduce strategic 
     nuclear arsenals to approximately 4,700 and 2,500 weapons, 
     respectively, are commendable intermediate stages in the 
     process of achieving the policy goals described in paragraphs 
     (1) and (2);
       (5) before the unsuccessful 1991 coup d'etat in the former 
     Soviet Union, the National Academy of Sciences proposed the 
     possibility of eventual reductions of strategic nuclear 
     warheads to 1,000 to 2,000 in the United States and the 
     former Soviet Union;
       (6) the current international era of cooperation provides 
     greater opportunities for achieving worldwide reduction and 
     control of nuclear weapons and material than any time since 
     the emergence of nuclear weapons 50 years ago; and
       (7) it is imperative in the security interests of both the 
     United States and the world community for the President and 
     the Congress to begin the process of reducing the number of 
     nuclear weapons in every country.
       (b) United States Policy.--It shall be the goal of the 
     United States to--
       (1) encourage and facilitate the denuclearization of 
     Ukraine, Byelarus, and Kazakhstan, in accord with the stated 
     desires of these former Soviet republics;
       (2) implement agreed mutual reductions under the Strategic 
     Arms Reduction Talks (START) Treaty on an accelerated time 
     schedule, and facilitate the ability of the Russian 
     Federation, Ukraine, Byelarus, and Kazakhstan to accomplish 
     these reductions;
       (3) reach immediate agreement with the Russian Federation 
     to reduce the number of strategic nuclear weapons in each 
     country's arsenal to a level within a range defined by the 
     levels proposed by the President of the Russian Federation, 
     2,500, and the President of the United States, 4,700, to 
     include the downloading of multiple warhead ballistic 
     missiles;
       (4) as soon as practicable after such an agreement is 
     achieved, reach agreement with the Russian Federation, the 
     United Kingdom, France, and the People's Republic of China to 
     reduce the number of strategic nuclear warheads in each 
     country's arsenal to the lowest level consistent with the 
     National Academy of Sciences-endorsed range of 1000 to 2000 
     for the United States and the Russian Federation, with lower 
     levels for the other countries, that maintains stategic 
     stability;
       (5) through continuing negotiations reach subsequent 
     agreements with the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, 
     France, the People's Republic of China, and threshold nuclear 
     states to make significant, stage-by-stage reductions in the 
     number of nuclear weapons in all countries, with the pace of 
     such reductions being contingent on several factors, 
     including--
       (A) advances in verification, safeguard, and export control 
     methods and technologies;
       (B) increased participation in the Treaty on the Non-
     Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and other nuclear 
     nonproliferation agreements;
       (C) strengthened and improved political relations among all 
     countries; and
       (D) the degree to which further multilateral nuclear arms 
     reductions will enhance rather than hinder United States 
     national security;
       (6) continue and extend cooperative discussions with the 
     appropriate authorities of the former Soviet military on 
     means to maintain and improve secure command and control over 
     nuclear forces;
       (7) in consultation with other member countries of the 
     North Atlantic Treaty Organization and other allies, initiate 
     immediate multilateral negotiations to facilitate the 
     eventual elimination of tactical nuclear weapons in all 
     countries;
       (8) provide immediate United States assistance that would 
     be available to securely disable, transport, and store, and 
     ultimately dismantle, former Soviet nuclear weapons and 
     missiles for such weapons; and
       (9) achieve a worldwide, verifiable agreement to end by 
     1995 the production of plutonium and highly enriched uranium 
     for weapons purposes and to place existing stockpile of such 
     materials under bilateral or international controls.
       (c) Annual Report.--By January 1 of each year, the 
     President shall submit to the Congress a report on--
       (1) the actions that the United States has taken, and the 
     actions the United States plans to take during the next 12 
     months, to achieve each of the policy objectives set forth in 
     paragraphs (1) through (9) of subsection (b); and
       (2) the actions that have been taken by the Russian 
     Federation, by other former Soviet republics, and by other 
     countries to achieve those policy objectives.
     These reports shall be unclassified, with a classified 
     appendix if necessary.

     SEC. 1064. NUCLEAR SAFETY IN EASTERN EUROPE AND THE FORMER 
                   SOVIET UNION.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident on April 26, 
     1986, has resulted in $283 to $352 billion worth of damage, 
     with more than 4,000,000 people still living on land 
     contaminated with radiation;
       (2) there are 16 Chernobyl-type RBMK reactors now operating 
     in Russia, Ukraine, and Lithuania, all of which have faulty 
     designs, poor construction, and dangerously lax and outdated 
     operating procedures;
       (3) there are dozens of Soviet-designed reactors now 
     operating in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union with 
     poor construction and lax and outdated operating procedures;
       (4) a serious nuclear reactor accident in one of the newly 
     freed states of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union 
     would seriously exacerbate these states' difficult progress 
     towards economic recovery and could lead to political 
     instability;
       (5) retrofitting the RBMK reactors with modern Western 
     safety equipment will result in only marginal safety 
     improvements at great expense; and
       (6) alternative power sources, such as natural gas 
     turbines, and modern energy efficiency measures and 
     technologies could displace the need for much of the power 
     which these reactors provide.
       (b) United States Policy.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the President should undertake bilateral and multilateral 
     initiatives, including trade initiatives, to--
       (1) assist in bringing on line enough replacement power and 
     modern energy efficiency measures and technologies in the 
     states of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union so that 
     the RBMK reactors may be shut down as soon as possible and 
     placed in stable condition to prevent radiological 
     contamination;
       (2) assist the states of Eastern Europe and the former 
     Soviet Union in upgrading their other nuclear reactors to 
     Western standards of safety and in ensuring that all of their 
     nuclear reactors receive routine maintenance and repairs;
       (3) encourage and provide technical assistance to Russia 
     and Ukraine to enact domestic legislation governing nuclear 
     reactor safety;

[[Page 1070]]

       (4) negotiate formal agreements for nuclear cooperation 
     with Russia and Ukraine;
       (5) identify nuclear safety research as a principal focus 
     of the soon-to-be created nuclear science centers in Ukraine 
     and Russia; and
       (6) make greater resources available to the International 
     Atomic Energy Agency to promote programs of nuclear safety in 
     Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
       (c) Reporting Requirement.--Not later than 60 days after 
     the date of enactment of this Act, the President shall submit 
     to Congress a report with a systematic assessment of the 
     nuclear reactor safety situation in Eastern Europe and the 
     former Soviet Union, with a description of specific bilateral 
     and multilateral initiatives the Administration is taking and 
     plans to take to address these nuclear safety issues.

     SEC. 1065. REPORT ON PROLIFERATION OF MILITARY-BASED 
                   SATELLITES.

       (a) Report.--The Secretary of Defense shall submit to 
     Congress a report on the proliferation to other countries of 
     ownership or control of satellites with capabilities for 
     military applications and the implications of such 
     proliferation for the United States. The report should 
     include a description of--
       (1) the current military satellite capability of Third 
     World countries and other countries and the projected threat 
     posed by such capabilities to the United States in the 
     future;
       (2) current and planned efforts by the United States to

                   FOR CONSIDERATION OF MILITARY DECORATIONS AND 
                   AWARDS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Former members of the Armed Forces, military units, and 
     veteran organizations throughout the United States will be 
     celebrating the 50th anniversary of World War II at reunions 
     and other events through 1995.
       (2) A number of individuals who served in the Armed Forces 
     during World War II, and groups of former members of the 
     Armed Forces who served together in units during World War II 
     have expressed interest in individual and unit decorations 
     and awards involving their World War II service that were 
     never presented.
       (3) In some cases, the Secretaries of the military 
     departments have declined to consider individual and unit 
     decorations and awards involving World War II service that 
     were established by administrative action solely because of 
     time limitations established administratively on the 
     submission of recommendations for the decorations and awards.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the Secretaries of the military departments should consider a 
     recommendation for a decoration or award for World War II 
     service without regard to time limitations on the 
     consideration of the recommendation if the recommendation--
       (1) is submitted before December 31, 1995;
       (2) involves a decoration or award that is not established 
     by Act of Congress; and
       (3) presents new information or evidence that the original 
     recommendation was not 
     submitted or was mishandled due to administrative error.

       (1) that programs established under the Soviet Nuclear 
     Threat Reduction Act of 1991 (title II of Public Law 102-228) 
     will contribute significantly to the destruction of weapons 
     of mass destruction of the states of the former Soviet Union 
     and the reduction of the threat from such weapons and the 
     potential for their proliferation;
       (2) that it is in the national security interests of the 
     United States to continue to reduce the threats from the huge 
     weapons arsenals of the former Soviet Union and to protect 
     against the potential proliferation of these weapons and the 
     materials removed from them, as well as the potential hazards 
     resulting from the faulty storage of those weapons or 
     materials; and
       (3) that the threats to nuclear safety and security 
     described in section 211 of the Soviet Nuclear Threat 
     Reduction Act of 1991 (title II of Public Law 102-228; 105 
     Stat. 1693) remain of urgent concern and that additional

     Congress on July 10, 1991, pursuant to section 2903(e) of the 
     Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (Public Law 
     101-510; 10 U.S.C. 2687 note).

     3,744 acres of land, which the Secretary of Defense is 
     required to dispose of under section 2905 of the Defense Base 
     Closure and Realignment Act of 1990.
       (3) The United States currently leases from the State of 
     South Carolina and three other owners some 8,357.96 acres of 
     land, located 7.5 miles south of Shaw Air Force Base in 
     Sumter County, South Carolina. The Air Force has developed 
     these leasehold tracts into a weapons and bombing range known 
     as the Poinsett Weapons Range, which is used for weapons, 
     air-to-ground ordnance, and bombing practice by aircraft from 
     Shaw Air Force Base, Pope Air Force Base, Seymour Johnson Air 
     Force Base, the South Carolina Air National Guard, the Ohio 
     Air National Guard, Cherry Point Marine Air Station, and 
     Beaufort Marine Air Station.
       (4) The State of South Carolina has offered to convey to 
     the United States its fee simple estate in the Poinsett 
     Weapons Range, together with constituent parcels owned by 
     other persons which the State will acquire and any contiguous 
     parcels the Air Force may desire for range enhancement and 
     reconfiguration, in exchange for land and improvements at 
     Myrtle Beach Air Force Base that are equal in value.
       (5) By acquiring title to the Poinsett Weapons Range, the 
     Air Force will be able to enhance the utility of the Poinsett 
     Weapons Range as a bombing and weapons range.
       (b) Conveyance.--Subject to subsection (c), the Secretary 
     of the Air Force may convey to the State of South Carolina 
     all right, title, and interest of the United States in and to 
     all or a portion of the land and improvements comprising 
     Myrtle Beach Air Force Base, South Carolina.

     authorized under subsection (b), the State of South Carolina 
     shall convey to the United States land and improvements in 
     the Poinsett Weapons Range, which are currently being leased 
     from the State of South Carolina, and any contiguous and 
     surrounding parcels which the State may own or acquire to 
     improve or enlarge the configuration of the Poinsett Weapons 
     Range to suit the needs of the Air Force. The fair market 
     value of the real property conveyed to the United States 
     shall be at least equal to the fair market value of the real 
     property conveyed to the State under subsection (b).
       (2) The Poinsett Weapons Range contains approximately 
     8,357.96 acres and is situated in Sumter County, South 
     Carolina. Its perimeter boundaries are described by bearings 
     and distances on a plat of survey prepared by Palmer B. 
     Mallard and Associates, South 
     Carolina Registered Land Surveyors, dated May 1, 1967, last 
     revised in October 1981.
       (d) Reversionary Interest.--The major portion of the land 
     to be conveyed by the State of South Carolina under 
     subsection (c)(1) was originally conveyed to the South 
     Carolina State Forestry Commission by the United States under 
     the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act (50 Stat. 522; 7 U.S.C. 
     1000 et seq.), subject to reservation of mineral rights and 
     subject also to a reversion of title if the State ceased to 
     use such properties for public purposes. The conveyance of 
     such land to the United States under subsection (c)(1) shall 
     be deemed to be in compliance with the public purpose 
     covenants imposed upon conveyance to the South Carolina State 
     Forestry Commission.
       (e) Reservation for Forest Products Harvesting.--The 
     Secretary of Air Force may accept the land to be conveyed by

     to a reservation allowing the South Carolina Forestry 
     Commission to harvest forest products on such terms as the 
     Secretary may prescribe.

     Air Force may acquire, to the extent provided in 
     appropriation Acts, such additional parcels of land in the

     considers to be necessary to reconfigure and enhance the 
     Poinsett Weapons Range. Such acquisition shall be consistent

     SEC. 3132. ONE-YEAR MORATORIUM ON NUCLEAR TESTING.

       During the one-year period beginning on the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, none of the funds made available under 
     any provision of law may be available to conduct any 
     explosive nuclear weapons test unless the President certifies 
     to Congress that any of the independent states of the former 
     Soviet Union has conducted an explosive nuclear weapons test 
     during that period.

     Subtitle D--International Fissile Material and Warhead Control

     SEC. 3141. FINDINGS.

       The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States is now observing a de facto 
     moratorium on the production of fissile materials and has not 
     produced highly enriched uranium for nuclear weapons since 
     1964, while Russia has ceased production of highly enriched 
     uranium for nuclear weapons but continues to operate reactors 
     for the production of plutonium for nuclear weapons.
       (2) The United States and Russia have recently announced 
     major reductions in their nuclear arsenals well below the 
     levels required by the START Treaty, and both nations expect 
     to make further reductions in strategic arms, which will 
     create a large surplus of nuclear weapons material.
       (3) On February 12, 1992, the government of Russia proposed 
     a reciprocal exchange of information between all nuclear 
     powers on inventories of nuclear weapons and fissile 
     materials, and on nuclear weapons production, storage, and 
     elimination facilities.
       (4) On May 29, 1991, the President called on the nations of 
     the Middle East to implement a verifiable ban on the 
     production of nuclear weapons material in order to control 
     the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
       (5) A bilateral or multilateral ban on the production of 
     nuclear weapons materials would raise nonproliferation 
     barriers because nuclear weapons cannot be built without 
     adequate supplies of these materials. If such a ban were 
     extended to other nations it would prevent the production of 
     nuclear weapons by countries that do not possess nuclear 
     materials.
       (6) Inspection and safeguards procedures for verifying 
     dismantlement of downloaded and retired nuclear warheads and 
     the disposition of the removed fissile materials should be 
     examined for inclusion in future arms reduction agreements or 
     verification protocols, for the purpose of making reductions 
     in nuclear arsenals irreversible. Such inspections and 
     safeguards would insure against rapid redeployment of 
     warheads in the empty spaces on downloaded missiles, bar 
     potential reuse of surplus warheads on delivery systems not 
     limited by existing agreements, and reduce inventories of 
     nuclear materials available for potential breakout from the 
     agreement.

     SEC. 3142. NEGOTIATIONS.

       (a) In General.--The Congress urges the President to enter 
     into negotiations with member states of the Commonwealth of 
     Independent States, to complement ongoing and future arms 
     reduction negotiations and agreements, with the goal of 
     achieving verifiable agreements in the following areas:
       (1) Dismantlement of nuclear weapons.
       (2) The safeguard and permanent disposal of nuclear 
     materials.
       (3) An end by the United States and member states of the 
     Commonwealth of Independent States to the production of 
     plutonium and highly enriched uranium for nuclear weapons.
       (4) The extension of negotiations on these issues to all 
     nations capable of producing nuclear weapons materials.
       (b) Exchanges of Information.--The Congress urges the 
     President, in order to establish a data base on production 
     capabilities of member states of the Commonwealth of 
     Independent States and their stockpiles of fissile materials 
     and nuclear weapons, to seek to achieve agreements with such 
     states to reciprocally release information on--
       (1) United States and the member states nuclear weapons 
     stockpiles, including the number of warheads and bombs by 
     type, and schedules for weapons production and dismantlement;
       (2) the location, mission, and maximum annual production 
     capacity of United States and member states facilities that 
     are essential to the production of tritium for replenishment 
     of that nation's tritium stockpile;
       (3) the inventory of United States and member states 
     facilities dedicated to the production of plutonium and 
     highly enriched uranium for weapons purposes; and
       (4) United States and members states stockpiles of 
     plutonium and highly enriched uranium used for nuclear 
     weapons.
       (c) Technical Working Groups.--The Congress urges the 
     President, in order to facilitate the achievement of 
     agreements referred to in subsection (a), to establish with 
     member states of the Commonwealth of Independent States and 
     with other nations capable of producing nuclear weapons 
     material bilateral or multilateral technical working groups 
     to examine and demonstrate cooperative technical monitoring 
     and inspection arrangements that could be applied to the 
     verification of--
       (1) information on mission, location, and maximum annual 
     production capacity of nuclear material production facilities 
     and the size of stockpiles of plutonium and highly enriched 
     uranium;
       (2) nuclear arms reduction agreements that would include 
     provisions requiring the verifiable dismantlement of nuclear 
     warheads; and
       (3) bilateral or multilateral agreements to halt the 
     production of plutonium and highly enriched uranium for 
     nuclear weapons.
       (d) Report.--The President shall submit to the Congress, 
     not later than December 15, 1992, a report on the progress 
     made by the President in implementing the actions called for 
     in subsections (a) through (c).
       (e) Production by Commonwealth of Independent States.--The 
     Congress urges the Presidents of the member states of the 
     Commonwealth of Independent States--
       (1) to institute a moratorium on production of plutonium 
     and highly enriched uranium for nuclear weapons; and
       (2) to pledge to continue such moratorium for so long as 
     the United States maintains its moratorium on production of 
     such materials.

       Section 142 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 
     2162) is amended by adding at the end the following new 
     subsection:
       ``f. Notwithstanding any other law, the President may 
     publicly release Restricted Data regarding the nuclear 
     weapons stockpile of the United States if the United States 
     and member states of the Commonwealth of Independent States 
     reach reciprocal agreement on the release of such data.''.

     forth recommendations for such changes to the Panama Canal 
     Commission for the operation of the Panama Canal during the 
     period before the termination of the Panama Canal Treaty of

     the canal on December 31, 1999, pursuant to the Panama Canal 
     Treaty of 1977 and related agreements. The President shall

     operational, and management structure of the Panama Canal 
     Commission and setting forth recommendations for such changes 
     to that structure as the Comptroller General determines 
     would, if implemented, enable the Commission to operate more 
     efficiently and, thereby, serve as a model for the Government 
     of Panama for the operation of the Panama Canal after the 
     transfer of the Panama Canal on December 31, 1999, pursuant 
     to the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977 and related agreements.

          DIVISION D--DEFENSE REINVESTMENT FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH

     SEC. 4001. SHORT TITLE.

       This division may be cited as the ``Defense Reinvestment 
     Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 4002. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Profound changes in the military threat to the United 
     States as a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union will 
     lead to a significant decrease in the defense budget of the 
     United States over the next five years.
       (2) The reductions in the defense budget during that period 
     may mean the elimination of over 1,100,000 defense industrial 
     and Department of Defense civilian jobs and the separation of 
     over 350,000 active-duty military personnel from the Armed 
     Forces.
       (3) These reductions, combined with low levels of economic 
     growth or recession, will cause serious and severe 
     dislocations for defense dependent communities and limit 
     employment opportunities for displaced defense workers and 
     military personnel separated from active and reserve duty 
     unless immediate steps are taken.
       (4) Over the same five-year period, United States economic 
     security will continue to come under challenges that will 
     require a comprehensive, cooperative response from 
     Government, business, and labor.
       (5) The skills of displaced defense workers and the 
     expertise of defense industries form the foundation of the 
     critical industrial and technical skill base on which the 
     military depends and that the Nation can ill afford to lose.
       (6) The men and women separating from the Armed Forces 
     represent a valuable national resource as a result of the 
     Nation's investment in their education and training.
       (7) In the interest of national security and the United 
     States international competitive position, the Department of 
     Defense should undertake a more active and direct role in 
     managing the defense build-down through a program of 
     reinvestment of defense resources that--
       (A) promotes economic growth in high-wage, high-technology 
     industries and preserves the industrial and technical skill 
     base;
       (B) bolsters the national technology base, including 
     support and exploitation of critical technologies with both 
     military and civilian application;
       (C) supports retraining of separated military, defense 
     civilian, and defense industrial personnel for jobs in 
     activities important to national economic growth;
       (D) assists those activities being undertaken at the State 
     and local level to support defense economic adjustment and 
     diversification efforts;
       (E) provides direct support to small businesses adversely 
     affected by the defense build-down; and
       (F) builds on existing Federal programs in this area.
       (8) The Department of Defense should assume a leading role 
     in the development of a long-range plan of action to preserve 
     militarily critical technologies and skills essential for 
     national security.
       (9) Such a defense reinvestment program complements the 
     traditional role of the Department of Defense to provide for 
     the security of the United States.
       (10) The breadth and scope of the long-term economic 
     problems resulting from the drawdown over the next five 
     fiscal years in the Department of Defense budget will require 
     continued Federal Government involvement, particularly on the 
     part of other Federal agencies which traditionally have 
     expertise relating to such economic problems.

     SEC. 4101. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.

     pursuant to the Job Training Partnership Act (29 U.S.C. 1501 
     et seq.);
       (B) programs carried out pursuant to the Defense Economic

     September 30, 1990;
       (2) during the five-year period beginning on that date, is 
     discharged or released from such duty (under other than 
     adverse circumstances); and

     limitation that such amount may not exceed the monthly basic 
     pay to which the member is entitled at the time of the 
     separation of the member. The Secretary of Defense may 
     provide assistance in excess of that limitation if the 
     Secretary determines, on a case by case basis, that such 
     assistance is warranted by the special training needs of the 
     member.

     the Secretary of Defense in determining the amount to be 
     provided under paragraph (1).

     the same extent as other individuals eligible to receive such 
     services. A member may not participate after the end of the 
     two-year period beginning on the date on which the member is 
     discharged or released from active duty, except that, in the 
     case of a member described in subsection (b) who was 
     discharged or released from active duty before the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the period for participation in 
     the program shall be two years from the date of the enactment 
     of this Act.
       (f) Reimbursement.--Upon submission to the Secretary of 
     Defense of a request for reimbursement of the costs to 
     provide services to a participant, the Secretary shall 
     reimburse the upward bound project submitting the request for 
     the actual cost of providing services (including a stipend) 
     to the member, not to exceed the amount provided under 
     subsection (d)(1). Funds provided under this subsection shall 
     be in addition to the funds otherwise provided to the project 
     under the Higher Education Act of 1965. Not more than 10 
     percent of the funds provided under this subsection may be 
     used for administrative costs.

    Subtitle D--Service Members Occupational Conversion and Training

     SEC. 4351. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Service Members 
     Occupational Conversion and Training Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 4352. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the men and women serving in our Nation's Armed Forces 
     are of the highest caliber--intelligent, dedicated, and 
     disciplined--and hundreds of thousands of these service 
     members will be separating from the Armed Forces due to the 
     drawdown in military personnel;
       (2) these men and women will be entering the civilian 
     workforce during a time of economic instability and 
     uncertainty;
       (3) many of these service personnel specialized in critical 
     skills such as combat arms which will not transfer to the 
     civilian workforce;
       (4) as part of the Nation's obligation to these service 
     members, the Secretary of Defense has a unique responsibility 
     and obligation to provide them with the tools they need to be 
     reassimilated into the civilian community and continue to be 
     outstanding, productive citizens;
       (5) the rapid placement of separated military personnel in 
     civilian employment and training opportunities will 
     significantly reduce the Department of Defense's costs 
     relative to unemployment compensation for ex-service members;
       (6) military personnel are a national resource whose skills 
     and abilities must be absorbed by and integrated into the 
     civilian workforce; and
       (7) providing such training will reduce the total cost of 
     the drawdown and is important to the national defense 
     function of the Department of Defense.
       (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this subtitle is to provide 
     additional means by which the Secretary of Defense can manage 
     the drawdown of the Armed Forces and to provide additional 
     forms of assistance to members of the Armed Forces who are 
     forced or induced to leave military service by reason of the 
     drawdown of the Armed Forces, thereby facilitating the 
     Secretary's ability to achieve end strength reductions caused 
     by the drawdown.

     SEC. 4353. DEFINITIONS.

       For the purposes of this subtitle:
       (1) The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary of Defense.
       (2) The terms ``compensation'', ``service-connected'', 
     ``State'', and ``active military, naval, or air service'' 
     have the meanings given such terms in paragraphs (13), (16), 
     (20), and (24), respectively, of section 101 of title 38, 
     United States Code.

     SEC. 4354. ESTABLISHMENT OF PROGRAM.

     programs of significant training for employment in stable and 
     permanent positions. The Secretary may enter into an 
     agreement with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and the 
     Secretary of Labor for the implementation of the program. The 
     program shall be carried out through payments to employers 
     who employ and train eligible persons in such positions.

[[Page 1099]]

     Such payments shall be made to assist such employers in 
     defraying the costs of necessary training.
       (b) State Approving Agencies.--(1) The implementing 
     official may enter into contracts or agreements with State 
     approving agencies, as designated pursuant to section 3671(a) 
     of title 38, United States Code, to carry out any duty of the 
     implementing official under this subtitle. Payment may be 
     made to such agencies pursuant to any such contract or 
     agreement for reasonable and necessary expenses of salary and 
     travel incurred by employees of such agencies in carrying out 
     such duties. Each such payment may be made only from funds 
     available to the implementing official pursuant to section 
     4366(a)(3).
       (2) Each State approving agency with which a contract or 
     agreement is entered into under this section shall submit to 
     the implementing official on a monthly or quarterly basis, as 
     determined by the agency, a report containing a certification 
     of such expenses for the period covered by the report. The

     program carried out under this subtitle.
       (3)(A) Subject to section 4362(c), the implementing 
     official shall certify as eligible for participation under

     and subject to section 4355(c), the implementing official 
     shall make payments to employers in accordance with this 
     section. The amount payable to such an employer on behalf of 
     an eligible person with respect to an approved program of job 
     training under this subtitle shall be determined by such

     worked by the eligible person during the entire program 
     period.
       (B) In no case may the amount determined under subparagraph 
     (A) exceed--
       (i) $12,000 for an eligible person with a service-connected 
     disability rated at 30 percent or more; or
       (ii) $10,000 for an eligible person not described in clause 
     (i).
       (2)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B) of this 
     paragraph and subject to the provisions of section 4359, the 
     payments described in paragraph (1) shall be made to an 
     employer of an eligible person participating in an approved 
     program of job training under this subtitle as follows:
       (i) One-third of the amount determined under paragraph (1) 
     shall be paid upon completion by such eligible person of one-
     half of the period of training for which payment is to be

     completion of such period of training.
       (B)(i) In any case in which the employment of the eligible 
     person is terminated for any reason described in clause (iii) 
     during a period after a payment is made under subparagraph 
     (A) and before the next payment is due under such 
     subparagraph, the payment for such period shall be equal to 
     the pro rata share of the payment for that period based on 
     the hours actually worked, determined in accordance with the 
     formula specified in paragraph (1)(A).
       (ii) In any case in which the employment of an eligible 
     person is terminated, in any period with respect to which a 
     payment is to be made under clause (i), (ii), or (iii) of 
     subparagraph (A), for any reason other than one described in 
     clause (iii), no payment may be made with respect to such 
     eligible person for such period.
       (iii) The reasons referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) are 
     the following:
       (I) The eligible person voluntarily leaves employment with 
     the employer.
       (II) The eligible person becomes disabled and unable to 
     continue his employment.
       (III) The eligible person is terminated for good cause 
     shown.
       (b) Limitations.--(1) Payment may not be made to an 
     employer for a period of training under this subtitle on 
     behalf of an eligible person until the implementing official 
     has received--
       (A) from the eligible persons, a certification that the 
     eligible person was employed full time by the employer in a 
     program of job training during such period; and
       (B) from the employer, a certification--
       (i) that the eligible person was employed by the employer 
     during that period and that the eligible person's performance 
     and progress during such period were satisfactory; and
       (ii) of the number of hours worked by the eligible person 
     during that period.
     With respect to the first such certification by an employer 
     with respect to an eligible person, the certification shall 
     indicate the date on which the employment of the eligible 
     person began and the starting hourly rate of wages paid to 
     the eligible person (without regard to overtime or premium 
     pay).
       (2) Payment may not be made to an employer for a period of 
     training under this subtitle on behalf of an eligible person 
     for which a request for payment is made after two years after 
     the date on which that period of training ends.
       (c) Overpayments.--(1)(A) Whenever the implementing 
     official finds that an overpayment under this subtitle has 
     been made to an employer on behalf of an eligible person as a 
     result of a certification, or information contained in an 
     application, submitted by an employer which was false in any 
     material respect, the amount of such overpayment shall 
     constitute a liability of the employer to the United States.
       (B) Whenever such official finds that an employer has 
     failed in any substantial respect to comply for a period of 
     time with a requirement established under this subtitle 
     (unless the employer's failure is the result of false or 
     incomplete information provided by the eligible person), each 
     amount paid to the employer on behalf of an eligible person 
     for that period shall be considered to be an overpayment 
     under this subtitle, and the amount of such overpayment shall 
     constitute a liability of the employer to the United States.
       (2) Whenever such official finds that an overpayment under 
     this subtitle has been made to an employer on behalf of an 
     eligible person as a result of a certification by the 
     eligible person, or as a result of information provided to an 
     employer or contained in an application submitted by the 
     eligible person, which was willfully or negligently false in 
     any material respect, the amount of such overpayment shall 
     constitute a liability of the eligible person to the United 
     States.
       (3) Any overpayment referred to in paragraph (1) or (2) may 
     be recovered in the same manner as any other debt due the 
     United States. Any overpayment recovered shall be credited to 
     funds available to make payments under this subtitle. If 
     there are no such funds, any overpayment recovered shall be 
     deposited into the Treasury.
       (4) Any overpayment referred to in paragraph (1) or (2) may 
     be waived, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms 
     and conditions set forth in section 5302 of title 38, United 
     States Code.

     SEC. 4359. ENTRY INTO PROGRAM OF JOB TRAINING.

       Notwithstanding any other provision of this subtitle, the 
     implementing official shall withhold or deny approval of an 
     eligible person's entry into an approved program of job 
     training if such official determines that funds are not 
     available to make payments under this subtitle on behalf of 
     the eligible person to the employer offering that program. 
     Before the entry of an eligible person into an approved 
     program of job training of an employer for purposes of 
     assistance under this subtitle, the employer shall notify 
     such official of the employer's intention to employ that 
     eligible person. The eligible person may begin such program 
     of job training with the employer two weeks after the notice 
     is transmitted to such official unless within that time the 
     employer has received notice from such official that approval 
     of the eligible person's entry into that program of job 
     training must be withheld or denied in accordance with this 
     section.

     SEC. 4360. PROVISION OF TRAINING THROUGH EDUCATIONAL 
                   INSTITUTIONS.

       An employer may enter into an agreement with an educational 
     institution that has been approved for the purposes of 
     chapter 106 of title 10, United States Code, in order that 
     such institution may provide a program of job training (or a 
     portion of such a program) under this subtitle. When such an 
     agreement has been entered into, the application of the 
     employer under section 4357 shall so state and shall include 
     a description of the training to be provided under the 
     agreement.

       (a) Failure to Meet Requirements.--If the implementing 
     official finds at any time that a program of job training 
     previously approved for the purposes of this subtitle 
     thereafter fails to meet any of the require-

[[Page 1101]]

     ments established under this subtitle, such official may 
     immediately disapprove further participation by eligible 
     persons in that program. Such official shall provide to the 
     employer concerned, and to each eligible person participating 
     in the employer's program, a statement of the reasons for, 
     and an opportunity for a hearing with respect to, such 
     disapproval. The employer and each such eligible person shall 
     be notified of such disapproval, the reasons for such 
     disapproval, and the opportunity for a hearing. Notification 
     shall be by a certified or registered letter, and a return 
     receipt shall be secured.

     determines that the rate of eligible persons' successful 
     completion of an employer's programs of job training 
     previously approved for the purposes of this subtitle is 
     disproportionately low because of deficiencies in the quality 
     of such programs, such official shall disapprove 
     participation in such programs on the part of eligible 
     persons who had not begun such participation on the date that 
     the employer is notified of the disapproval. In determining 
     whether any such rate is disproportionately low because of 
     such deficiencies, such official shall take into account 
     appropriate data, including--
       (A) the quarterly data provided by the Secretary of Labor 
     with respect to the number of eligible persons who receive 
     counseling in connection with training under this subtitle, 
     are referred to employers under this subtitle, participate in 
     job training under this subtitle, and complete such training 
     or do not complete such training, and the reasons for 
     noncompletion; and
       (B) data compiled through the particular employer's 
     compliance surveys.
       (2) With respect to a disapproval under paragraph (1), the 
     implementing official shall provide to the employer concerned 
     the kind of statement, opportunity for hearing, and notice 
     described in subsection (a).
       (3) A disapproval under paragraph (1) shall remain in 
     effect until such time as the implementing official 
     determines that adequate remedial action has been taken.

     this subtitle, shall be available at reasonable times for 
     examination by authorized representatives of the Federal 
     Government.

     matter such official considers necessary to determine

     copies of records), questioning employees, and entering into 
     any premises or onto any site where any part of a program of 
     job training is conducted under this subtitle, or where any 
     of the records of the employer offering or providing such 
     program are kept.
       (d) Department of Labor.--Functions may be administered 
     under subsections (b) and (c) in accordance with an agreement 
     between the Secretary and the Secretary of Labor providing 
     for the administration of such subsections (or any portion of 
     such subsections) by the Department of Labor. Under such an 
     agreement, any entity of the Department of Labor specified in

     are suffering economic hardship, may be able to use the 
     excess nonlethal supplies to create jobs for the citizens of 
     the United States and to stimulate national economic growth.
       (3) Agencies of State and local governments that 
     demonstrate how they would utilize the supplies to create 
     jobs and stimulate economic growth should be given priority

     Nonlethal Supplies.--(1) The Secretary of Defense shall 
     develop a plan to transfer to agencies of State and local

     determines are in excess of current and projected 
     requirements of the Department of Defense. The plan shall 
     provide--
       (A) that agencies of State and local governments shall be 
     eligible to receive the supplies before the supplies are made 
     available for transfer to other Federal agencies or non-
     Federal entities;
       (B) that the supplies shall be available for transfer to 
     agencies of State and local governments without 
     reimbursement, except that the cost of transportation and 
     repair of the supplies shall be paid by the agency receiving 
     the supplies;
       (C) that, before supplies may be transferred to an agency 
     of a State or local government, the agency shall submit to 
     the Secretary of Defense an operational plan that is subject 
     to the approval of the Secretary of Defense and that details 
     how the agency will utilize the supplies to create jobs or 
     stimulate economic growth;
       (D) that supplies transferred under the plan may not be 
     transferred by the agency receiving the supplies to any 
     individual, public or private person, or other agency before 
     the end of the 5-year period beginning on the date on which 
     the supplies are transferred to the agency;
       (E) that supplies available for transfer under the plan are 
     supplies that are located in the continental United States;
       (F) for the fair and equitable allocation among States and 
     local governments of supplies transferred under the plan; and
       (G) for such other matters that the Secretary of Defense 
     considers appropriate to carry out the plan.
       (2) Not later than February 15, 1993, the Secretary of

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. BRUCE, laid before the House a message 
from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:

  On June 1, 1992, pursuant to section 204(b) of the International 
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1703(b)), and section 301 of 
the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1631), I reported to the 
Congress by letters to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of 
the House, dated May 30, 1992, that I had exercised my statutory 
authority to issue Executive Order No. 12808 of May 30, 1992, that 
declared a national emergency and blocked ``Yugoslav Government'' 
property and property of the Governments of Serbia and Montenegro.
  On May 30, 1992, the United Nations Security Council adopted 
Resolution No. 757 calling on member states to impose a comprehensive 
economic embargo against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and 
Montenegro). Today I have taken additional steps to ensure that the 
economic measures we are taking with respect to the Federal Republic of 
Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) conform to United Nations Security 
Council Resolution No. 757 of May 30, 1992.
  Specifically, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers 
Act (50 U.S.C. 1701, et seq.), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 
1601, et seq.), section 1114 of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as 
amended (49 U.S.C. App. 1514), section 5 of the United Nations 
Participation Act of 1945, as amended (22 U.S.C. 287c), and section 301 
of title 3 of the United States Code, I have issued a second Executive 
order, ``Blocking Property of and Prohibiting Transactions with the 
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro),'' a copy of 
which is enclosed.
  Among other things, the order that I have issued on this day:
  --prohibits exports and imports of goods and services between the 
    United States and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and 
    Montenegro), and any activity that promotes or is intended to 
    promote such exportation and importation;
  --prohibits any dealing by a U.S. person in connection with property 
    originating in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and 
    Montenegro) exported from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia 
    and Montenegro) after May 30, 1992, or intended for exportation to 
    any country, and related activities;
  --prohibits transactions related to transportation to or from the 
    Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro), or the use 
    of vessels or aircraft registered in the Federal Republic of 
    Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro), by U.S. persons or involving the 
    use of U.S.-registered vessels and aircraft;
  --prohibits the granting of permission to any aircraft to take off 
    from, land in, or overfly the United States if that aircraft is 
    destined to land in or take off from the territory of the Federal 
    Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro);
  --prohibits the performance by any U.S. person of any contract in 
    support of certain categories of projects in the Federal Republic of 
    Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro);
  --continues to block all property of the Government of the Federal 
    Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro), as well as assets of 
    the former Government of the Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia, 
    located in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. 
    person, including their foreign branches; and

[[Page 1110]]

  --clarifies the definition of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia 
    (Serbia and Montenegro).
  Today's order provides that the Secretary of the Treasury, in 
consultation with the Secretary of State, is authorized to take such 
actions, including the promulgation of rules and regulations, as may be 
necessary to carry out the purposes of the order.
  The declaration of the national emergency made by Executive Order No. 
12808 remains in force and is unaffected by today's order.
                                                          George Bush.  
  The White House, June 5, 1992.

papers, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and ordered to

Para. 67.20  providing for the consideration of h.r. 5260

  Mr. DERRICK, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 475):

       Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this 
     resolution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule 
     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the State of the Union for the consideration 
     of the bill (H.R. 5260) to extend the emergency unemployment 
     compensation program, to revise the trigger provisions 
     contained in the extended unemployment compensation program, 
     and for other purposes, and the first reading of the bill 
     shall be dispensed with. All points of order against the 
     bill, as amended, and against its consideration are hereby 
     waived. After general debate, which shall be confined to the 
     bill and which shall not exceed one hour, to be equally 
     divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority 
     member of the Committee on Ways and Means, the bill shall be 
     considered as having been read for amendment under the five-
     minute rule. The amendment printed in the report of the 
     Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution shall be 
     considered as having been adopted in the House and in the 
     Committee of the Whole. No amendment to the bill shall be in 
     order. At the conclusion of the consideration of the bill for 
     amendment, the Committee shall rise and report the bill to 
     the House, and the previous question shall be considered as 
     ordered on the bill to final passage without intervening 
     motion except one motion to recommit.

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  Mr. DERRICK moved the previous question on the resolution to its 
adoption or rejection.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House now order the previous question?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MFUME, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. SOLOMON objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken by 
electronic device.

Whole House on the state of the Union for the consideration of the bill 
(H.R. 5260) to extend the emergency unemployment compensation program, 
to revise the trigger provisions contained in the extended unemployment 
compensation program, and for other purposes.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MFUME, by unanimous consent, designated 
Mr. LEWIS of Georgia as Chairman of the Committee of the Whole; and 
after some time spent therein,
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. GEPHARDT, assumed the Chair.

third time by title.
  Mr. ARCHER moved to recommit the bill to the Committee on Ways and 
Means with instructions to promptly report the bill back to the House 
forthwith with extended unemployment benefits through March of 1993

rules and does not increase the deficits for the fiscal years 1992 
through 1995.
  After debate,
  By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered on the motion 
to recommit with instructions.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House recommit said bill with instructions?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. GEPHARDT, announced that the nays had it.
  Mr. ARCHER objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.

Para. 68.4  providing for the consideration of h.j. res. 290

  Mr. STENHOLM, pursuant to the special order agreed to on June 4, 1992, 
called up the following resolution (H. Res. 450):

       Resolved, That immediately upon the adoption of this 
     resolution the House shall resolve itself into the Committee 
     of the Whole House on the State of the Union for the 
     consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 290) 
     proposing an amendment to the Constitution to provide for a 
     balanced budget for the United States Government and for 
     greater accountability in the enactment of tax legislation, 
     all points of order against the joint resolution and against 
     its consideration are hereby waived, and the first reading of 
     the joint resolution shall be dispensed with. After general 
     debate, which shall be confined to the joint resolution and 
     which shall not exceed four and one-half hours, to be equally 
     divided and controlled by Representative Brooks of Texas, 
     Representative Fish of New York, and Representative Stenholm 
     of Texas, or their designees, the joint resolution shall be 
     considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. No 
     amendment to the joint resolution shall be in order in the 
     House or the Committee of the Whole except for the following 
     amendments, which shall be considered only in the following 
     order, and which shall not be subject to amendment:
       (a) an amendment in the nature of a substitute by, and if 
     offered by, Representative Fish of New York, or his designee. 
     This amendment shall be debatable for no longer than one hour 
     to be equally divided and controlled by the Member proposing 
     the amendment, or a designee, and a Member proposing the 
     amendment, or a designee, and a Member opposed thereto;
       (b) an amendment in the nature of a substitute by, and if 
     offered by, Representative Barton of Texas, or his designee, 
     which may be offered notwithstanding the adoption of the 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute as made possible 
     under section 1(a). This amendment shall be debatable for no 
     longer than one hour to be equally divided and controlled by 
     the Member proposing the amendment, or a designee, and a 
     Member opposed thereto;
       (c) an amendment in the nature of a substitute by, and if 
     offered by, Representative Brooks of Texas, or his designee, 
     which may be offered notwithstanding the adoption of the 
     amendments in the nature of a substitute as made possible 
     under section 1(a) or section 1(b). This amendment shall be 
     debatable for no longer than one hour to be equally divided 
     and controlled by the Member proposing the amendment, or a 
     designee, and a Member opposed thereto;
       (d) an amendment in the nature of a substitute by, and if 
     offered by, any Member, which shall be the text of any 
     comparable joint resolution as passed by the Senate, and 
     which may be offered notwithstanding the adoption of the 
     amendments in the nature of a substitute as made possible 
     under section 1(a), section 1(b), or section 1(c). This 
     amendment shall be debatable for no longer than one hour to 
     be equally divided and controlled by the Member proposing the 
     amendment and a Member opposed thereto;
       (e) an amendment in the nature of a substitute by, and if 
     offered by, Representative Stenholm of Texas, or his 
     designee, which may be offered notwithstanding the adoption 
     of the amendments in the nature of a substitute as made 
     possible under section 1(a), section 1(b), section 1(c), or 
     section 1(d). This amendment shall be debatable for no longer 
     than one hour to be equally divided and controlled by the 
     Member proposing the amendment, or a designee, and a Member 
     opposed thereto.

     At the conclusion of consideration of the joint resolution 
     for amendment, the Committee shall rise and report the joint 
     resolution back to the House. If more than one of the 
     amendments in the nature of a substitute have been adopted in 
     the Committee of the Whole, only the last such amendment 
     shall be considered as having been finally adopted and 
     reported back to the House. The previous question shall be 
     considered as having been ordered on the joint resolution and 
     such amendment thereto, to final passage without intervening 
     motion except one motion to recommit, with or without 
     instructions.
       Sec. 2. If the Committee rises on any day without coming to 
     a final resolution on the joint resolution, the House shall, 
     on the next legislative day, following House approval of the 
     Journal, immediately resolve itself into the Committee of the 
     Whole on the State of the Union for the further consideration 
     of the joint resolution.
       Sec. 3. If a comparable joint resolution has been passed by 
     the Senate, it shall be in order at any time after House 
     consideration of H.J. Res. 290 for Representative Stenholm or 
     his designee to move for immediate consideration of such 
     Senate Joint Resolution and to move for concurrence in the 
     passage of such Senate Joint Resolution, with or without 
     amendment but, if with an amendment, then such amendment 
     shall strike all after the resolving clause and substitute 
     therefor the text of H.J. Res. 290 as passed by the House.
       Sec. 4. Consideration, in accordance with the provisions of 
     this resolution, of the joint resolution and any comparable 
     joint resolution passed by the Senate shall be a matter of 
     highest privilege in the House and shall take precedence over 
     any other motion, business, or order of the House, and the 
     House shall proceed with such consideration to final passage, 
     without the intervention of any other motion, order, or 
     business, except as otherwise provided for in this 
     resolution.

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. STENHOLM, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection.
  The question being put, viva voce,

     The Congress shall separately reconsider each such returned 
     portion of the Bill in the manner prescribed for disapproved 
     Bills in section 7 of Article I of this Constitution. Any 
     portion of a Bill which shall not have been returned or 
     approved by the President within 10 days (Sundays excepted) 
     after it shall have been presented to him shall become a law, 
     unless the Congress by their adjournment prevent its return, 
     in which case it shall not become a law.

     entitlements, uses of assets, insurance, guarantees of 
     borrowing, and any authority to incur obligations.
       ``Section 7. Sections 1, 2, 3, and 4 of this article shall 
     apply to the third fiscal year beginning after its 
     ratification and to subsequent fiscal years, but not to 
     fiscal years beginning before October 1, 1996. Sections 5 and

  So the amendment in the nature of a substitute was not agreed to.
  After some further time,

Para. 69.7  recorded vote

  A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of 
the Whole on the following amendment in the nature of a substitute 
submitted by Mr. BARTON:

       Strike all after the resolving clause and insert the 
     following:
       That the following article is proposed as an amendment to 
     the Constitution of the United States, which shall be valid 
     to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when 
     ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several 
     States within seven years after the date of its submission 
     for ratification:

                              ``Article --

       ``Section 1. Prior to each fiscal year, Congress shall 
     adopt a statement of receipts and outlays for such fiscal 
     year in which total outlays are not greater than total 
     receipts. Congress may amend such statement provided revised 
     outlays are not greater than revised receipts. Congress may 
     provide in such statement for a specific excess of outlays 
     over receipts by a vote directed solely to that subject in 
     which three-fifths of the whole number of each House agree, 
     by a rollcall vote, to such excess. Congress and the 
     President shall ensure that actual outlays do not exceed the 
     outlays set forth in such statement.
       ``Section 2. The amount of Federal public debt as of the 
     first day of the second fiscal year beginning after the 
     ratification of this Article shall become a permanent limit 
     on such debt and there shall be no increase in such amount 
     less three-fifths of the whole number of each House of 
     Congress shall have passed a bill, by a rollcall vote, 
     approving such increase and such bill has become law.
       ``Section 3. Prior to each fiscal year, the President shall 
     transmit to Congress a proposed statement of receipts and 
     outlays for such fiscal year consistent with the provisions 
     of this Article.
       ``Section 4. Total receipts for any fiscal year set forth 
     in the statement adopted pursuant to the first section of 
     this Article shall not increase by a rate greater than the 
     rate of increase in national income in the second prior 
     fiscal year, unless a three-fifths majority of the whole 
     number of each House of Congress shall have passed a bill, by 
     a rollcall vote, directed solely to approving specific 
     additional receipts and such bill has become law.
       ``Section 5. The Congress may waive the provisions of this 
     article for any fiscal year in which a declaration of war is 
     in effect. The provisions of this article may be waived for 
     any fiscal year in which the United States is engaged in 
     military conflict which causes an imminent and serious 
     military threat to national security and is so declared a 
     joint resolution, adopted by a majority of the whole number 
     of each House, which becomes law.
       ``Section 6. Congress shall enforce and implement this 
     Article by appropriate legislation.
       ``Section 7. Total receipts shall include all receipts of 
     the United States except those derived from borrowing and 
     total outlays shall include all outlays of the United States 
     except those for the repayment of debt principal.
       ``Section 8. This article shall take effect beginning with 
     fiscal year 1998 or with the second fiscal year beginning 
     after its ratification, whichever is later.''.

     States within seven years after the date of its submission 
     for ratification:

                              ``Article--

       ``Section 1. Prior to each fiscal year, the President shall 
     propose to the Congress a budget for the United States 
     Government for that year in which total expenditures do not

     Presidential Declaration of National Urgency for that fiscal 
     year.
       ``Section 2. The Congress shall not approve total 
     expenditures in excess of total receipts for the fiscal year 
     unless it has been approved by a majority vote of the whole 
     number of each House by rollcall vote, a Presidential 
     Declaration of National Urgency for the fiscal year.
       ``Section 3. In no case shall the Congress approve a budget 
     for any fiscal year which is estimated to result in a higher

     President for that fiscal year.
       ``Section 4. Total expenditures shall include all 
     expenditures of the United States Government except 
     expenditures for the redemption of any form of debt and for 
     disbursements of the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance 
     Trust Fund and the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund, 
     or any successor funds. Total receipts shall include all 
     receipts of the United States Government except those derived 
     from net borrowing in any form and receipts of the Federal 
     Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund and the Federal 
     Disability Insurance Trust Fund, or any successor funds.
       ``Section 5. The Congress shall have the power and 
     responsibility to enforce this article by appropriate

     by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
     States of America in Congress assembled (two-thirds of each

     proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the

[[Page 1129]]

     United States, which shall be valid to all intents and 
     purposes as part of the Constitution if ratified by the 
     legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within 
     seven years after its submission to the States for 
     ratification:

                              ``Article --

       ``Section 1. Total outlays for any fiscal year shall not 
     exceed total receipts for that fiscal year, unless three-
     fifths of the whole number of each House of Congress shall 
     provide by law for a specific excess of outlays over receipts 
     by a rollcall vote.
       ``Section 2. The limit on the debt of the United States 
     held by the public shall not be increased, unless three-
     fifths of the whole number of each House shall provide by law 
     for such an increase by a rollcall vote.
       ``Section 3. Prior to each fiscal year, the President shall 
     transmit to the Congress a proposal budget for the United 
     States Government for that fiscal year, in which total 
     outlays do not exceed total receipts.
       ``Section 4. No bill to increase revenue shall become law 
     unless approved by a majority of the whole number of each 
     House by a rollcall vote.
       ``Section 5. The Congress may waive the provisions of this 
     article for any fiscal year in which a declaration of war is 
     in effect. The provisions of this article may be waived for 
     any fiscal year in which the United States is engaged in 
     military conflict which causes an imminent and serious 
     military threat to national security and is so declared by a 
     joint resolution, adopted by a majority of the whole number 
     of each House, which becomes law.
       ``Section 6. The Congress shall enforce and implement this 
     article by appropriate legislation, which may rely on 
     estimates of outlays and receipts.
       ``Section 7. Total receipts shall include all receipts of 
     the United States Government except those derived from 
     borrowing. Total outlays shall include all outlays of the 
     United States Government except for those for repayment of 
     debt principal.
       ``Section 8. This article shall take effect beginning with 
     fiscal year 1998 or with the second fiscal year beginning 
     after its ratification, whichever is later.''.

Para. 71.6  providing for the consideration of s. 250

  Mr. WHEAT, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 480):

       Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this 
     resolution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule 
     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the State of the Union for the consideration 
     of the bill (S. 250) to establish national voter registration 
     procedures for Federal elections, and for other purposes, and 
     the first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. After 
     general debate, which shall be confined to the bill and which 
     shall not exceed one hour to be equally divided and 
     controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
     Committee on House Administration, the bill shall be 
     considered as having been read under the five-minute rule. No 
     amendment to the bill shall be in order except the amendment 
     printed in the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying 
     this resolution. Said amendment shall be considered as having 
     been read, shall be debatable for not to exceed one hour, 
     equally divided and controlled by the proponent and a member 
     opposed thereto. Said amendment shall not be subject to 
     amendment. At the conclusion of the consideration of the bill 
     for amendment, the Committee shall rise and report the bill 
     to the House, and the previous question shall be considered 
     as ordered on the bill to final passage without intervening 
     motion except one motion to recommit which may not contain 
     instructions.

  Pending consideration of said resolution,

Para. 71.7  point of order

  Mr. SOLOMON made a point of order against the consideration of the 
resolution, and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, let me say at the outset that I regret that it is even 
necessary to raise this point of order. As you will recall, in January 
of last year I presented you, Mr. Speaker, with a 48-page paper 
documenting the precedents and history behind the rules which guarantee 
to the minority the right to offer a motion to recommit a bill of its 
choosing--including one with instructions.
  ``Then last June we sat down in your office with the Republican 
leader, the majority leader, and the Rules Committee chairman, and 
myself, and it was agreed that the Rules Committee would further look 
into our complaints about being denied our right to offer recommittal 
instructions on certain bills.
  ``The Rules Committee's Subcommittee on Rules of the House finally did 
hold a hearing on May 6 of this year, but no report has yet been issued 
as a result of that hearing and study.
  ``As the Speaker well knows, the whole purpose of the Rules Committee 
study of this controversy was to attempt to reach some kind of 
accommodation between the majority and minority over the issue of 
restricting our right to recommit bills.
  ``I am certain the Speaker did not have in mind that a hearing alone, 
without any subsequent effort to solve this problem, would suffice, and 
I know that. A hearing alone does not constitute a good-faith effort to 
reach accommodation.
  ``Having said all that, Mr. Speaker, permit me once again to make the 
case for this point of order. The rule before us allows for one motion 
to recommit but goes on to say that the motion `may not contain 
instructions.'
  ``Mr. Speaker, permit me once again to make the case for this point of 
order. The rule before us allows for one motion to recommit but goes on 
to say that the motion `may not contain instructions.'
  ``Mr. Speaker, again I have to repeat, clause 4(b) of House rule XI 
provides that the Rules Committee `shall not report any rule or order * 
* * which would prevent the motion to recommit from being made as 
provided in clause 4 of rule XVI.'
  ``And clause 4 of rule XVI, at the relevant part, states that:

       ``After the previous question shall have been ordered on 
     the passage of a bill or joint resolution one motion to 
     recommit shall be in order and the Speaker shall give 
     preference in recognition to a Member who is opposed to the 
     bill or joint resolution.

  ``Mr. Speaker, it can hardly be argued that by denying any 
instructions in a motion to recommit, the right of

[[Page 1137]]

the minority Member entitled to offer that motion is being preserved or 
protected. When the rule issued by the majority's Committee on Rules 
dictates that the minority Member may only offer a straight motion to 
recommit, that Member is deprived of the right to offer a motion of his 
or her choosing.
  ``Mr. Speaker, it must be remembered that before these two rules were 
adopted in 1909, the House already had a rule, dating back to 1880, 
allowing for a motion to recommit, with or without instructions, either 
before or after the previous question is ordered. That rule is rule 
XVII, clause 1 and is still a part of our rules today under which we are 
supposed to be operating here.
  ``As the Speaker will recall from the paper I presented him in January 
1991, in 1909 the new recommit rule was offered by a minority Member of 
this House, Democrat John Fitzgerald from my State of New York, 
specifically giving that motion to the minority. And at the same time, a 
rule was adopted, which we now call clause 4(b) of rule XI, to prevent 
the Rules Committee from ever denying the minority that right.
  ``In offering those two rules changes, Representative Fitzgerald said, 
and I quote once again, and I hate to take the Speaker's time but it has 
to be said:

       ``Under our present practice, if a Member desires to move 
     to recommit with instructions, the Speaker instead of 
     recognizing a Member desiring to submit a specific 
     proposition by instructions, recognizes the gentleman in 
     charge of the bill.

  ``In other words, Mr. Speaker, up to that point, the Speaker could 
recognize the majority manager to offer the motion to recommit and 
thereby prevent the minority from offering such a motion with 
instructions in the way of a final amendment.
  ``And Fitzgerald went on to say, and again I quote:

       Under our practice, the motion to recommit might better by 
     eliminated from the rules altogether.

  ``In short, Mr. Speaker, the whole purpose for the new rule was to 
permit the minority to offer a motion to recommit with instructions if 
it so desired. On May 14, 1912, Speaker Champ Clark, another Democrat, 
and I used to be one, Mr. Speaker--I have researched all these 
Democrats.
  ``Champ Clark, a Democrat from Missouri, upheld a point of order 
against a rule denying a motion to recommit by pointing to Jefferson's 
Manual in which Jefferson observed that rules are instituted in 
parliamentary bodies as a check against action of the majority and a 
shelter and protection to the minority.
  ``Clark concluded on this point by ruling that, and I quote, `it was 
intended that the right to make the motion to recommit should be 
preserved inviolate.'
  ``On October 17, 1919, Speaker Gillett, a Republican from 
Massachusetts--we had Republicans from Massachusetts in those days--in 
overruling a point of order against a minority motion to recommit with 
instructions, said, and I quote:

       The fact is that a motion to recommit is intended to give 
     the minority one chance to fully express their views so long 
     as they are germane.

  ``Please note, Mr. Speaker, the only condition on that motion was the 
germaneness rule as found in the standing rules of the House.
  And he concluded:

       The whole purpose of this motion to recommit is to have a 
     record vote upon the program of the minority. That is the 
     main purpose of the motion to recommit.

  ``Mr. Speaker, the recent body of rulings upholding the right of the 
Rules Committee to deny the minority that right to offer amendatory 
instructions in the motion to recommit is based on a 1934 ruling by 
Speaker Rainey, another Democrat from Illinois, in which he overruled a 
point of order against a special rule that prohibited amendments to one 
title of the bill during its consideration.
  ``Speaker Rainey said that the special rule did not mention the motion 
to recommit which therefore could still be offered under the general 
rules of the House. And he went on to rely on the principle that one 
cannot do indirectly by way of a motion to recommit that which cannot be 
done directly by way of amendment. And since the special rule prohibited 
amendments to one title, the motion to recommit could not amend that 
title either.
  ``In short, Mr. Speaker, he held that a special rule prohibiting 
certain amendments had the same status as the standing rules of the 
House, even though the special rule was more restrictive than the 
standing rules, and in, fact, was a departure from those standing rules.
  ``Even a germane amendment could not be offered in the motion to 
recommit.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I have long maintained that the ruling of Speaker 
Rainey was wrongly decided. On the one hand, he tried to claim that the 
right of the motion to recommit was preserved under the general rules. 
But he then turned around and said the general rules of the House had no 
standing when it came to an amendment in the motion to recommit--that 
the special rule from the Rules Committee had precedence.
  ``Mr. Speaker, you cannot have it both ways. To the extent that the 
Rules Committee limits or denies the motion to recommit in a way that 
departs from the general rules of this House that we operate under, it 
is violating the prohibition on it as contained in clause 4(b) of Rules 
XI.
  ``And I ask the Members to read the rules and see for yourselves.
  ``To paraphrase Speaker Champ Clark, the motion is no longer inviolate 
as it was intended to be. And that is wrong. Instead, the right has been 
grossly violated.
  ``Mr. Speaker, finally I will just point out that I am basing my point 
of order on House Rule XLII, which states, in part, and I quote:

       The Rules of parliamentary practice comprised in 
     Jefferson's Manual * * * shall govern the House in all cases 
     to which they are applicable and in which they are not 
     inconsistent with the standing rules and orders of the House 
     * * *.

  ``Mr. Speaker, I would maintain that in a case such as this, where 
there is ambiguity, Jefferson's Manual should be relied on as the final 
arbiter, just as Speaker Clark relied on it in his ruling in 1912 on 
this issue. And, to quote from section 1 of Jefferson's Manual, and I 
wish the Members would listen up because what we are trying to strive 
for here is fairness. It says:

       As it is always in the power of the majority, by their 
     numbers, to stop any improper measures proposed on the part 
     of their opponents,'' the opponents being we, the minority, 
     ``the only weapons by which the minority can defend 
     themselves against similar attempts from those in power are 
     the forms and rules of proceedings which have been adopted as 
     they were found necessary from time to time, and are become 
     the law of the House, by a strict adherence to which the 
     weaker party can only be protected from those irregularities 
     and abuses which these forms were intended to check.

  ``Mr. Speaker, that is terribly, terribly important.
  ``Jefferson concluded on this point as follows:

       It is much more material that there should be a rule to go 
     by than what that rule is; that there may be a uniformity of 
     proceeding in business not subject to the caprice of the 
     Speaker or captiousness of the Members. It is very material 
     that order, decency, and regularity be preserved in a 
     dignified public body.

  ``I repeat, Mr. Speaker, in a dignified and fair body.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I would submit that Jefferson's Manual, which is 
incorporated as part of the rules of the House, should be the final 
authority on this issue. And Jefferson's Manual clearly comes down on 
the side of minority rights which are protected under the standing rules 
of the House--the regular order of proceeding, which we defend every 
day.
  ``Mr. Speaker, to permit a special rule such as this to take priority 
is to give way to the caprice of the Speaker's Committee on Rules or the 
captiousness of the majority Members in abusing, indeed denying, the 
only protection and weapon which we, the minority have, and that is the 
standing, not special, the standing rules of this House.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I cannot make it any clearer. You are a fair man, a man 
respected by us; but you do represent all of us in this House, the 
majority and minority. And I know that you feel that way personally. And 
I would just hope for the good of this House and the future of this 
House and the future of your party, which may become a minority 
someday--we hope soon--I would hope that you would rule in my favor.''.

  Mr. WHEAT was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:


[[Page 1138]]


  ``Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from New York makes the point of order 
that the rule limits the motion to recommit and therefore, according to 
the minority, the rules violates clause 4(b) of rule XI.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I respectfully disagree. Rule XI prohibits the Rules 
Committee from reporting a rule that: `would prevent the motion to 
recommit from being made as provided in clause 4 of rule XVI.'
  ``Clause 4 of rule XVI only addresses the simple motion to recommit. 
Nowhere are instructions mentioned.
  ``Mr. Speaker, the Rules Committee may report a rule limiting the 
motion to recommit. So long as the rule allows a simple motion to 
recommit, it does not violate clause 4(b) of rule XI.
  ``Mr. Speaker, this is a well-established parliamentary point. Speaker 
Rainey, on January 11, 1934, so ruled and was sustained on appeal.
  ``The point was reaffirmed five times in the last 2 years: October 16, 
1990; June 4, 1991; on November 25, 1991; February 26, 1992, and again 1 
month ago, on May 7, 1992. Several times, the minority moved to appeal 
the ruling of the Chair. On each occasion the House voted to table the 
motion, sustaining the ruling.
  ``Mr. Speaker, the precedents were strengthened by the votes of the 
House. The House consistently supported our interpretation of the rule. 
Absent an intervening change in the rule, the chair would be 
constrained, in my opinion, to heed this interpretation.
  ``Finally, Mr. Speaker, the minority's position on the motion to 
recommit was seriously compromised, to my mind, by its support for House 
Resolution 450. House Resolution 450 was the rule providing for 
consideration of the balanced budget constitutional amendment.
  ``House Resolution 450 severely restricted the motion to recommit with 
instructions. Yet every member of the minority voting on the rule--
except two--voted `aye.'
  ``In summary, Mr. Speaker, the precedents are clear, consistent, and 
unequivocal.
  ``Since 1934 there is not a single instance in which Speaker Rainey's 
interpretation was overturned. Not one rule limiting the motion to 
recommit was successfully challenged on a point of order.
  ``Moreover, the House spoke several times in the last 2 years to 
reaffirm and strengthen this position. And finally, Mr. Speaker, the 
House overwhelmingly supported--just last week--a rule limiting the 
motion to recommit.
  ``Search the Record and you will not find a single word of protest 
from the minority last week.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I urge you not to sustain the point of order.''.

  Mr. WALKER was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from Missouri [Mr. Wheat] cited as the 
prin- 
cipal evidence of the willingness of the House to abandon its minority 
right a series of votes that have taken place in recent years. 
Obviously, what we have there is the majority party muscling the 
minority party with its voting majority, and it has nothing to with the 
rules of the House or the kind of precedents that protect minority 
rights.
  ``If in fact what we have decided is that the minority is always at 
the mercy of the majority's ability to change the rules, then the Chair, 
it seems to me, does rule against the gentleman from New York, and that 
would be a travesty. If what the Chair is concerned about doing is 
protecting the minority, as it is supposed to be protected under the 
rules, then the Chair, I think, has no other duty than to rule in favor 
of the point of order of the gentleman from New York, because it is 
clear in this particular instance that to rule against the point of 
order of the gentleman from New York is to really rule that the minority 
has no real position under the rules, and that any position the minority 
has under the rules is conveniently stripped by a majority vote of the 
majority party. That would be a travesty that goes against everything 
the House is supposed to stand for in debate, and I would hope that the 
Chair would rule in favor of the point of order raised by the gentleman 
from New York [Mr. Solomon].''.

  The SPEAKER overruled the point of order, and said:

  ``The gentleman from New York [Mr. Solomon] has made a point of order 
against consideration of House Resolution 480 and, based on arguments 
made previously by the gentleman from New York, has insisted that in 
denying the motion to recommit with instructions and providing authority 
only for a motion to recommit, the committee has violated House rules 
and a point of order should be sustained against the resolution.
  ``Under the precedents of October 16, 1990, February 26, 1992, and May 
7, 1992, all of which, as the gentleman correctly points out, stem from 
the precedent of January 11, 1934, the Chair is constrained to overrule 
the point of order.''.

  Mr. SOLOMON appealed the ruling of the Chair.
  Mr. WHEAT moved to lay the appeal on the table.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House lay on the table the appeal of the ruling of the Chair?
  The SPEAKER announced that the nays had it.
  Mr. WHEAT objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken by 
electronic device.

Para. 71.15  recorded vote

  A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of 
the Whole on the following amendment in the nature of a substitute 
submitted by Mr. THOMAS of California:

       Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert the 
     following:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``National Voter Registration 
     Enhancement Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       (A) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the right to vote is a fundamental right;
       (2) it is the responsibility of each citizen to exercise 
     that right;
       (3) it is the duty of the Federal, State, and local 
     governments to promote the exercise of that right;
       (4) discriminatory and unfair registration laws and 
     procedures can have a direct and damaging effect on voter 
     participation in elections for Federal office;
       (5) such laws and procedures can disproportionately harm 
     voter participation in such elections by members of various 
     groups, including racial minorities;
       (6) all citizens of the United States are entitled to be 
     protected from vote fraud and from voter registration lists 
     that contain the names of ineligible or nonexistent voters, 
     which dilute the worth of qualified votes honestly cast; and
       (7) all citizens of the United States are entitled to be 
     governed by elected and appointed public officers who are 
     responsible to them and who govern in the public interest 
     without corruption, self-dealing, or favoritism.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
       (1) to increase registration of citizens as voters in 
     elections for Federal office;
       (2) to make it possible for Federal, State, and local 
     governments to enhance voter participation in elections for 
     Federal office;
       (3) to protect the integrity of the electoral process;
       (4) to ensure the maintenance of accurate and current 
     official voter registration lists; and
       (5) to guarantee to the States, and to their citizens, a 
     republican form of government, including elections conducted 
     free of fraud, and governmental processes conducted free of 
     corruption, self-dealing, or favoritism.

     State, the law of the State shall prevail to the extent that 
     such State law provides for more stringent suppression of 
     vote fraud than this Act.
       Amend the title so as to read ``An Act to establish 
     national voter registration procedures for Presidential and

  After some further time,
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. GEPHARDT, assumed the Chair.
  When Mr. PEASE, Chairman, reported that the Committee, having had 
under consideration said bill, had directed him to report the same back 
to the House with sundry amendments adopted by the Committee with the 
recommendation that the amendments be agreed to and that the bill, as 
amended, do pass.
  By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered on the bill.
  Mr. WALKER demanded a separate vote on the amendment on page 42, lines 
8 and 25 (the Penny amendment).
  The following remaining amendments, reported from the Committee of the 
Whole House on the state of the Union were then agreed to:

       On page 33, line 7, after ``Fund'' insert: ``: Provided, 
     That $6,000,000 of the amount appropriated in this paragraph 
     is provided for hydrogen research''.

       Page 34, line 19, strike ``$1,448,884,000'' and insert

  So, the concurrent resolution, as amended, was agreed to.

Para. 73.8  jerusalem reunification anniversary

  On motion of Mr. HAMILTON, by unanimous consent, the Committee on 
Foreign Affairs was discharged from further consideration of the 
following concurrent resolution of the Senate (S. Con. Res. 113):

       Whereas for three thousand years Jerusalem has been the 
     focal point of Jewish religious devotion;
       Whereas Jerusalem is also considered a holy city by the 
     members of other religious faiths;
       Whereas the once thriving Jewish community of the historic 
     Old City of Jerusalem was driven out by force during the 1948 
     Arab-Israeli War;
       Whereas from 1948 to 1967 Jerusalem was a divided city and 
     Israeli citizens of all faiths as well as Jewish citizens of 
     all states were denied access to holy sites in the area 
     controlled by Jordan;
       Whereas in 1967 Jerusalem was reunited during the conflict 
     known as the Six Day War;
       Whereas since 1967 Jerusalem has been a united city 
     administered by Israel and persons of all religious faiths 
     have been guaranteed full access to holy sites within the 
     city;
       Whereas this year marks the twenty-fifth year that 
     Jerusalem has been administered as a unified city in which 
     the religious rights of all faiths have been respected and 
     protected;
       Whereas in 1990 the United States Senate and House of 
     Representatives overwhelmingly declared that Jerusalem, the 
     capital of Israel, ``must remain an undivided city'';
       Whereas United Nations Security Council Resolutions 681 and 
     726 have raised understandable concern in Israel that 
     Jerusalem might one day be redivided and access to religious 
     sites in Jerusalem denied to Israeli citizens of all faiths 
     and Jewish citizens of other states; and
       Whereas such concerns inhibit and complicate the search for 
     a lasting peace in the region: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives 
     concurring), That the Congress--
       (1) congratulates the residents of Jerusalem and the people 
     of Israel on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the 
     reunification of that historic city;
       (2) strongly believes that Jerusalem must remain an 
     undivided city in which the religious rights of every ethnic 
     and religious group are protected as they have been by Israel 
     during the past twenty-five years; and
       (3) calls upon the President and the Secretary of State to 
     issue an unequivocal statement in support of these 
     principles.

  When said concurrent resolution was considered and agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said concurrent resolution was 
agreed to was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.
  Ordered, That the Clerk notify the Senate thereof.

      sense of the senate with respect to federal enterprise zones

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that:
       (1) The crisis of poverty and high unemployment in 
     America's inner-cities and rural areas demands an appropriate 
     and timely response from Congress;
       (2) Manufacturing and industry has largely disappeared from 
     many United States inner cities which, in turn, led to the 
     severe decline in good high-wage jobs, wholesale trade, 
     retail businesses, and a large source of local tax revenues;
       (3) Encouraging small and medium-sized businesses, which 
     create the majority of new jobs in the United States economy, 
     to locate and invest in poor neighborhoods is one of the keys 
     to revitalizing urban America;
       (4) Enterprise Zones will help convince businesses to build 
     and grow in poor neighborhoods; they will give people 
     incentives to invest in such businesses and to hire and train 
     both unemployed and economically disadvantaged individuals; 
     they will create jobs and stimulate entrepreneurship; and 
     they will help restore the local tax revenue base to these 
     communities;
       (5) Enterprise Zones have been tested in 37 States since 
     1982 and have proven to be successful, having generated 
     capital investments in poor neighborhoods in excess of 
     $28,000,000,000 and having created more than 258,000 jobs; 
     and
       (6) Enterprise Zones have been endorsed by, among others, 
     the National Governors Association, the National Council of 
     State Legislators, the Council of Black State Legislators, 
     the Conference of Mayors, and the Conference of Black Mayors.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) Enterprise Zones are a vital, proven tool for inner-
     city revitalization; and
       (2) Congress should adopt Federal enterprise zone 
     legislation and that such legislation should include the 
     following provisions:
       (A) Competitive designation which will maximize State and 
     local participation;
       (B) Tax incentives addressing both capital and labor costs;
       (C) Tax incentives aimed at attracting investment in small 
     businesses; and
       (D) Tax incentives to encourage the hiring and training of 
     economically disadvantaged individuals.

     Provided further, That should such person be convicted of a 
     riot-related crime of violence cited in (a) and (b), such 
     person shall provide to the agency or agencies which provided 
     such assistance, payments equivalent to the amount of 
     assistance provided.
       (c) All appropriate Federal agencies shall take the 
     necessary actions to carry out the provisions of this 
     section.
       (d) Applicant Certification.--Any applicant for aid 
     provided under this Act shall certify to the Federal agency 
     providing such aid that the applicant is not a person 
     described in subsection (a) or acting on behalf of such 
     person.
       (e) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term 
     ``riot-related crime of violence'' means any State or Federal 
     offense as defined in Section 16 of title 18, United States 
     Code.

     the Secretary, all individuals or districts who receive 
     Central Valley Project water under water service or repayment 
     contracts entered into prior to or after the date of 
     enactment of this Act are authorized to transfer all water 
     subject to such contract to any other California water user 
     or water agency, State agency, or private non-profit 
     organization for project purposes or any purpose recognized 
     as beneficial under applicable State law. Except as provided 
     herein, the terms of such transfers shall be set by mutual 
     agreement between the transferee and the transferor.
       (2) Conditions for Transfers.--Transfers of Central Valley 
     Project water authorized by this subsection shall be subject 
     to the following conditions:
       (A) No transfers shall be made in excess of the average 
     annual quantity of water under contract actually delivered to 
     the contracting district or agency between 1985 and 1989.
       (B) All water under the contract which is transferred to 
     any district or agency which is not a Central Valley Project 
     contractor at the time of enactment of this Act shall, if 
     used for irrigation purposes, be repaid at the greater of the 
     full-cost or cost of service rates, or, if the water is used 
     for municipal and industrial purposes, at the greater of the 
     cost of service or municipal and industrial rates.
       (C) No water transfers authorized under this section shall 
     be approved unless the transfer is between a willing buyer 
     and a willing seller under such terms and conditions as may 
     be mutually agreed upon.
       (D) No water transfer authorized under this section shall 
     be approved unless the transfer is consistent with State law, 
     including but not limited to, the provisions of the 
     California Environmental Quality Act.
       (E) All transfers authorized under this section shall be 
     deemed a beneficial use of water by the transferor.
       (F) All transfers in excess of 20 percent of the water in 
     any district contract shall be approved by such district 
     based on reasonable terms and conditions. Any review and 
     approval of such transfer by a district shall be undertaken 
     in a public process similar to those provided for in section 
     226 of Public Law 97-293.

     conditions by entities within the Central Valley Project 
     service area. The right of first refusal must be exercised 
     within ninety days from the date that notice is provided of 
     the proposed transfer. Should an entity exercise the right of 
     first refusal, it must compensate the transferee who had 
     negotiated the agreement upon which the right of first 
     refusal is being exercised for that entity's full costs 
     associated with the development and negotiation of the 
     transfer.
       (H) Any water transfer approved pursuant to this subsection 
     shall not be considered as conferring supplemental or 
     additional benefits on Central Valley Project water 
     contractors as provided in section 203 of Public Law 97-293 
     (43 U.S.C. 390(cc)).
       (I) No transfer shall be approved unless the Secretary has 
     determined that the transfer will have no adverse effect on 
     the Secretary's ability to deliver water pursuant to the 
     Secretary's Central Valley Project contractual obligations 
     because of limitations in conveyance or pumping capacity.
       (J) The agricultural water subject to any water transfer 
     undertaken pursuant to this subsection shall be that water 
     that would have been consumptively used on crops had those 
     crops been produced during the year or years of the transfer 
     or water that would have otherwise been lost to beneficial 
     use.
       (K) No transfer shall be approved unless the Secretary 
     determines that the program will have no significant long-
     term adverse impact on ground water conditions.
       (b) Metering of Water Use Required.--All Central Valley 
     Project water service or repayment contracts for 
     agricultural, municipal, or industrial purposes that are 
     entered into, renewed, or amended under any provision of 
     Federal reclamation law after the date of enactment of this 
     Act, shall provide that the contracting district or agency 
     shall ensure that all surface water delivery systems within 
     its boundaries are equipped with volumetric water meters or 
     equally effective water measuring methods within five years 
     of the date of contract execution, amendment, or renewal, and 
     that any new surface water delivery systems installed within 
     its boundaries on or after the date of contract renewal are 
     so equipped. The contracting district or agency shall inform 
     the Secretary and the State of California annually as to the 
     volume of surface water delivered within its boundaries.
       (c) State and Federal Water Quality Standards.--All Central 
     Valley Project water service or repayment contracts for 
     agricultural, municipal, or industrial purposes that are 
     entered into, renewed, or amended under any provision of 
     Federal reclamation law after the date of enactment of this 
     Act, shall provide that the contracting district or agency 
     shall be responsible for compliance with all applicable State 
     and Federal water quality standards applicable to surface and 
     subsurface agricultural drainage discharges generated within

       (d) Water Pricing Reform.--All Central Valley Project water 
     service or repayment contracts for agricultural, municipal, 
     or industrial purposes that are entered into, renewed, or 
     amended under any provision of Federal Reclamation law after 
     the date of enactment of this Act, shall provide that all 
     project water subject to contract shall be made available to 
     districts, agencies, and other contracting entities pursuant 
     to a system of tiered water pricing. Such a system shall 
     specify rates for each district, agency or entity based on an 
     inverted block rate structure with the following provisions:
       (1) The first rate tier shall apply to a quantity of water 
     up to 60 percent of the contract total and shall be not less 
     than the applicable contract rate.

     water over 60 percent and under 80 percent of the contract 
     total at a level halfway between the rates established under 
     paragraphs (1) and (3) of this subsection.
       (3) The third rate tier shall apply to that quantity of 
     water over 80 percent of the contract total and shall not be 
     less than full cost.
       (4) Rates shall be adjusted annually for inflation.

     including those plans required by section 210 of the 
     Reclamation Reform Act of 1982.
       (1) Criteria developed pursuant to this subsection shall be 
     established within six months following enactment of this Act 
     and shall be reviewed periodically thereafter, but no less 
     than every three years, with the purpose of promoting the 
     highest level of water use efficiency achievable by project 
     contractors using best available technology and best 
     management practices. The criteria shall include, but not be 
     limited to agricultural water suppliers' efficient water 
     management practices developed pursuant to California State 
     law or suitable alternatives.
       (2) The Secretary, through the office established under 
     this subsection, shall review and evaluate within eighteen 
     months following enactment of this Act all existing 
     conservation plans submitted by project contractors to 
     determine whether they meet the conservation and efficiency 
     criteria established pursuant to this subsection.
       (3) In developing the water conservation best management 
     practice criteria required by this subsection, the Secretary 
     shall take into account and grant substantial deference to 
     the recommendations for action proposed in the Final Report

     SEC. 6. FISH, WILDLIFE AND HABITAT RESTORATION.

       (a) Amendments to Central Valley Project Authorizations--
     Act of August 26, 1937.--Section 2 of the Act of August 26, 
     1937 (chapter 832; 50 Stat. 850), as amended, is amended--
       (1) in the second proviso of subsection (a), by inserting 
     ``and mitigation, protection, restoration and enhancement of 
     fish and wildlife,'' after ``Indian reservations,'';
       (2) in the last priviso of subsection (a), by striking 
     ``domestic uses;'' and inserting ``domestic uses and fish and 
     wildlife mitigation, protection and restoration purposes;'' 
     and by striking ``power'' and inserting ``power and fish and 
     wildlife enhancement'';
       (3) by adding at the end the following: ``The mitigation 
     for fish and wildlife losses incurred as a result of 
     construction, operation, or maintenance of the Central Valley 
     Project shall be concurrent with such activity and shall be 
     based on the replacement of ecologically equivalent 
     habitat.''; and
       (4) by adding at the end the following:
       ``(e) Nothing in this Act shall limit the State's authority 
     to condition water rights permits for the Central Valley 
     Project to make water available to preserve, protect, or 
     restore, fish and wildlife and their habitat.''.
       (b) Fish and Wildlife Restoration Activities.--The 
     Secretary, in consultation with the Central Valley Project 
     Fish and Wildlife Advisory Committee established under 
     section 9 of this Act (hereafter ``Fish and Wildlife Advisory 
     Committee'') and in cooperation with other State and Federal 
     agencies, is authorized and directed to:
       (1) Develop within 18 months of enactment and implement a 
     program which makes all reasonable efforts to ensure that, by 
     the year 2002, natural production of anadromous fish in 
     Central Valley rivers and streams will be sustained, on a 
     long-term basis, at levels not less than twice the average 
     levels attained during the period of 1981-1990:
       (A) This program shall give first priority to measures 
     which protect and restore natural channel and riparian 
     habitat values through direct and indirect habitat 
     restoration actions, modifications to Central Valley Project 
     operations, and implementation of the measures mandated by 
     this subsection.
       (B) As needed to achieve the goals of the program, the 
     Secretary is authorized and directed to modify Central Valley 
     Project operations to provide flows of suitable quality, 
     quantity, and timing to protect all life stages of anadromous 
     fish. Instream flow needs for all Central Valley Project 
     controlled streams and rivers shall be determined jointly by 
     the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the 
     California Department of Fish and Game.
       (C) With respect to mitigation or restoration of upper San 
     Joaquin River fish, wildlife, and habitat, the Secretary is 
     directed to participate in the San Joaquin River Management 
     Program under development by the State of California. In 
     support of the objectives of the San Joaquin River Management 
     Program and the Stanislaus and Calaveras Basin Environmental 
     Impact Statement, and in furtherance of the purposes of this 
     Act, the Secretary, in consultation with the Fish and 
     Wildlife Advisory Committee and affected counties and 
     interests, shall evaluate in-basin needs in the Stanislaus 
     River basin, and shall investigate alternative storage, 
     release, and delivery regimes for satisfying both in-basin 
     and out-of-basin needs. Alternatives to be investigated shall 
     include, but shall not be limited to, conjunctive use 
     operations, conservation strategies, exchange arrangements, 
     and the use of base and channel maintenance flows to assist 
     in efforts to restore fish and wildlife populations and 
     riparian habitat values in the San Joaquin River. Nothing in 
     this Act or the amendments to the Act of August 26, 1937, 
     shall be construed as requiring a re-establishment of flows 
     between Gravely Ford and Mendota Pool for mitigation or 
     restoration of fish, wildlife and habitat.
       (D) Costs associated with this paragraph shall be 
     reimbursable pursuant to existing statutory and regulatory 
     procedures.
       (2) Upon enactment of this Act, and after implementing the 
     operational changes authorized in subsection (b)(1)(B), make 
     available project water for the primary purpose of 
     implementing the fish, wildlife, and habitat restoration 
     purposes and measures authorized by this section, except that 
     such water shall be in addition to that required to implement 
     subsections (b)(6) and (b)(15)(A). This water may be assigned 
     immediately to supplement instream flows. The United States 
     Fish and Wildlife Service shall conduct studies and 
     monitoring activities as may be necessary to determine the 
     effectiveness of such flows in meeting the goal established 
     in subsection (b)(1). At the end of the initial five-year 
     period, the Secretary shall adjust the quantity of water 
     assigned as necessary to meet the goal.
       (3) Develop and implement a program for the acquisition of 
     a water supply adequate to meet the purposes and requirements 
     of this section. Such a program should identify how the 
     Secretary will secure this water supply, utilizing the 
     following options in order of priority: improvements in or 
     modifications of the operations of the project; conservation; 
     transfers; conjunctive use; purchase of water; purchase and 
     idling of agricultural land; reductions in deliveries to 
     Central Valley Project contractors.
       (4) Develop and implement a program to mitigate fully for 
     fishery impacts associated with operations of the Tracy 
     Pumping Plant. Such program shall include, but is not limited 
     to improvement or replacement of the fish screens and fish 
     recovery facilities and practices associated with the Tracy 
     Pumping Plant. Costs associated with this paragraph shall be 
     reimbursed in accordance with the following formula: 37.5 
     percent shall be reimbursed as main project features, 37.5 
     percent shall be considered a nonreimbursable Federal 
     expenditure, and 25 percent shall be paid by the State of 
     California.
       (5) Develop and implement a program to mitigate fully for 
     fishery impacts resulting from operations of the Contra Costa 
     Canal Pumping Plant No. 1. Such program shall provide for 
     construction and operation of fish screening and recovery 
     facilities, and for modified practices and operations. Costs 
     associated with this paragraph shall be reimbursed in 
     accordance with the following formula: 37.5 percent shall be 
     reimbursed as main project features, 37.5 percent shall be 
     considered a nonreimbursable Federal expenditure, and 25 
     percent shall be paid by the State of California.
       (6) Install and operate a structural temperature control 
     device at Shasta Dam to control water temperatures in the 
     Upper Sacramento River in order to protect all life stages of 
     anadromous fish in the Upper Sacramento River from Keswick 
     Dam to Red Bluff Diversion Dam. Costs associated with 
     planning and construction of the structural temperature 
     control device shall be reimbursed in accordance with the 
     following formula: 37.5 percent shall be reimbursed as main 
     project features, 37.5 percent shall be considered a 
     nonreimbursable Federal expenditure, and 25 percent shall be 
     paid by the State of California.
       (7) Meet flow standards and objectives and diversion limits 
     set forth in all State regulatory and judicial decisions 
     which apply to Central Valley Project facilities.
       (8) Investigate the feasibility of using short pulses of 
     increased water flows to increase the survival of migrating 
     juvenile anadromous fish in the Sacramento San Joaquin Delta 
     and Central Valley rivers and streams. Costs associated with 
     implementation of this subparagraph shall be reimbursed in 
     accordance with the following formula: 37.5 percent shall be 
     reimbursed as main project features, 37.5 percent shall be 
     considered a nonreimbursable Federal expenditure, and 25

     compensation program, to revise the trigger provisions 
     contained in the extended unemployment compensation program, 
     and for other purposes.

  The message also announced that the Senate insisted upon its amendment 
to the bill (H.R. 5260), ``An act to extend the emergency unemployment 
compensation program, to revise the trigger provisions contained in the 
extended unemployment compensation program, and for other purposes,'' 
and requested a conference with the House on the disagreeing votes of 
the two Houses thereon, and appointed Mr. Bentsen, Mr. Moynihan, Mr. 
Baucus, Mr. Packwood, and Mr. Dole, to be the conferees on the part of 
the Senate.

Para. 76.5  communication from the clerk--message from the president

  The SPEAKER laid before the House a communication, which was read as 
follows:

                                               Washington, DC,

                                                    June 23, 1992.
     Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
     The Speaker, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: Pursuant to the permission granted in 
     clause 5 of rule III of the Rules of the U.S. House of 
     Representatives, I have the honor to transmit a sealed 
     envelope received from the White House at 6:55 p.m. on 
     Tuesday, June 23, 1992, and said to contain H.R. 2507, the 
     ``National Institutes of Health Revitalization Amendments of 
     1992,'' and a veto message thereon.
       With great respect, I am
           Sincerely yours,
                                              Donnald K. Anderson,
                                  Clerk, House of Representatives.


Para. 76.6  veto of h.r. 2507

  The Clerk then read the veto message from the President, as follows:

To the House of Representatives:
  I am returning herewith without my approval H.R. 2507, the ``National 
Institutes of Health Revitalization Amendments of 1992,'' which would 
extend and amend biomedical research authorities of the National 
Institutes of Health (NIH).
  Before discussing the flaws of H.R. 2507, I must clarify two 
misperceptions. First, H.R. 2507 is not necessary to assure that Federal 
spending continue for biomedical research, or for research related to 
any disease, disorder, or condition. Second, H.R. 2507 is not necessary 
to increase support for research targeted at women's health needs. Great 
progress is being made in the area of women's health under the valued 
leadership of the first female director of the NIH.
  H.R. 2507 is unacceptable to me on almost every ground: ethical, 
fiscal, administrative, philosophical, and legal. I repeatedly warned 
the Congress of this at each stage of the legislative process. The 
bill's provisions permitting the use of tissue from induced abortions 
for federally funded transplantation research involving human subjects 
are inconsistent with our Nation's deeply held beliefs. Moreover, it is 
clear that this legislation would be counterproductive to the attainment 
of our Nation's health research objectives.
  H.R. 2507 is objectionable because it would lift the current 
moratorium on the use of Federal funds for fetal tissue transplantation 
research where the tissue is obtained from induced abortions. Let it be 
clear: This is not a moratorium on research. It is only a moratorium on 
the use of one source of tissue for that research. I believe this 
moratorium is important in order to prevent taxpayer funds from being 
used for research that many Americans find morally repugnant and because 
of its potential for promoting and legitimatizing abortion.
  My Administration is strongly committed to pursuing research to find 
cures and treatments for such disorders as Parkinson's disease, 
diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease that have been held out as areas where 
fetal tissue research might be pursued. Fetal tissue transplantation 
research relating to these disorders can proceed without relying on 
tissue from induced abortions. Medical experts at the Department of 
Health and Human Services have assured me that ectopic pregnancies and 
spontaneous abortions provide sufficient and suitable tissue to meet 
anticipated research needs. Therefore, on May 19, 1992, I issued an 
Executive order establishing a fetal tissue bank that will collect 
tissue from these sources so as to meet the needs of the research 
community. The bank will provide tissue directly to scientists for their 
research. This approval truly represents the pro-research and ethical 
alternative that will allow this research to go forward without relying 
on a source of tissue that many find to be morally objectionable.
  H.R. 2507 also contains fiscally irresponsible authorization levels. 
The total cost of the provisions in this legislation could exceed the FY 
1993 Budg-

[[Page 1189]]

et I presented to the Congress by $3.2 billion. It is exceedingly 
unlikely, if not impossible, that the Congress can fund the programs 
contained in H.R. 2507 while complying with the requirements of the 
Budget Enforcement Act. That being the case, the expectations that this 
bill will create are unreasonable. Those who suffer from the many 
diseases and disorders that are the subject of this unrealistic 
legislation will be sadly disappointed.
  H.R. 2507 is also objectionable because its provisions regarding the 
appointment of ``Ethics Advisory Boards'' are inconsistent with the 
Appointments Clause of the Constitution. H.R. 2507 would effectively 
give these boards unilateral authority to make decisions concerning 
major research initiatives. As a policy matter, these decisions should 
be made by the President's chief officer on health issues: The Secretary 
of Health and Human Services. More fundamentally, however, the 
Appointments Clause requires that officers vested with this type of 
power be appointed by the President by and with the advice and consent 
of the Senate. Instead, H.R. 2507 provides that they are to be appointed 
by the Secretary of Health and Human Services and then purports to 
circumscribe the discretion of the appointing authority by imposing 
various requirements concerning the boards' composition. H.R. 2507's 
provisions regarding the Scientific and Technical Board on Biomedical 
and Behavioral Research Facilities and the Office of Research on Women's 
Health likewise raise Appointments Clause problems.
  In addition, H.R. 2057 contains reporting requirements that impair the 
separation of powers. For example, the bill would require the Director 
of the National Cancer Institute to submit to specified committees of 
the Congress the original plan, and any revisions to that plan, 
regarding certain cancer research. This requirement to submit to the 
Congress what is in essence a draft plan without the prior review and 
approval of the executive branch clearly interferes with the 
deliberative process of the executive branch. The internal workings of 
the executive branch should be just that--internal. To require the 
executive branch to display each step in its deliberative process to the 
Congress would destroy my ability to speak as the single voice of a 
unitary executive.
  I am also troubled by the increasingly frequent imposition of 
reporting requirements. H.R. 2507 imposes a significant number of new 
reporting requirements on an executive branch that already suffers under 
the burden of literally thousands of such requirements. Last October, I 
noted that ``taken together such reports put a heavy burden on the 
reporting agencies at a time of scarce resources.'' Thus, I called for 
``an effort to minimize reporting requirements, both in terms of the 
number and frequency of reports that must be submitted, as well as the 
level of detail required,'' Bills such as H.R. 2507 move us in the 
opposite direction.
  For these reasons, I am returning H.R. 2507 without my approval, and I 
ask the Congress to adopt a simple extension of those appropriations 
authorizations for the National Institutes of Health that need to be 
extended.
                                                          George Bush.  
  The White House, June 23, 1992.

  The SPEAKER ordered that the veto message, together with the 
accompanying bill, be printed (H. Doc. 102-349) and spread upon the 
pages of the Journal of the House.
  The question being on passage of the bill, the objections of the 
President to the contrary notwithstanding.
  After debate,
  By unanimous, the previous question was ordered on the bill.
  The question being put,
  Will the House, upon reconsideration, agree to pass the bill, the 
objections of the President to the contrary notwithstanding?

It was decided in the

Para. 76.10  message from the president--u.s.-estonia fishery agreement

  The SPEAKER laid before the House a message from the President, which 
was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  In accordance with the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management 
Act of 1976 (Public Law 94-265; 16 U.S.C. 1801, et seq.), I transmit 
herewith an Agreement between the Government of the United States of 
America and the Government of the Republic of Estonia Concerning 
Fisheries off the Coasts of the United States, with annex, signed at 
Washington on June 1, 1992. The agreement constitutes a governing 
international fishery agreement within the requirements of section 
201(c) of the Act.
  Fishing industry interests of the United States have urged prompt 
implementation of this agreement to take advantage of opportunities for 
seasonal cooperative fishing ventures.
                                                          George Bush.  
  The White House, June 23, 1992.

  The message, together with the accompanying papers, was referred to 
the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries and ordered to be printed 
(H. Doc. 102-349).

Para. 76.11  providing for the consideration of h.r. 5427

  Mr. DERRICK, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 499):

       Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this 
     resolution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule 
     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the State of the Union for consideration of 
     the bill (H.R. 5427) making appropriations for the 
     Legislative Branch for the fiscal year ending September 30, 
     1993, and for other purposes. The first reading of the bill 
     shall be dispensed with. After general debate, which shall be 
     confined to the bill and which shall not exceed one hour 
     equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
     minority member of the Committee on Appropriations, the bill 
     shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. 
     All points of order against provisions in the bill for 
     failure to comply with clause 2 or 6 of rule XXI are waived. 
     The amendment printed in section 2 shall be considered as 
     adopted in the House and in the Committee of the Whole. No 
     other amendment shall be in order except those printed in the 
     report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this 
     resolution. Unless otherwise provided in this resolution, 
     amendments shall be considered in the order and manner 
     specified in the report except that an amendment in the form 
     of a limitation or retrenchment shall remain subject to the 
     provisions of clauses 2(c) and 2(d) of rule XXI. Unless 
     otherwise specified in the report, each amendment may be 
     offered only by the named proponent or a designee, shall be 
     considered as read, shall not be subject to amendment, and 
     shall not be subject to a demand for division of the question 
     in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. Any time 
     specified in the report for debate on an amendment shall be 
     equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an 
     opponent. All points of order under clause 2 of rule XXI 
     against the amendments in the report numbered 1 and 9 are 
     waived. When the Committee rises and reports the bill to the 
     House with such amendments as may have been adopted, the 
     previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill 
     and amendments thereto to final passage without intervening 
     motion except one motion to recommit.
       Sec. 2. The amendment considered as adopted in the House 
     and in the Committee of the Whole is as follows:
       On page 34, strike line 17, beginning with 
     ``Notwithstanding'' through line 20, ending with ``amounts'' 
     and insert in lieu thereof ``Amounts''.
       On page 34, insert on line 3 after ``use'' the following: 
     ``: Provided, That no such amounts may be transferred before 
     the date of the enactment of an Act authorizing the use of 
     funds for that purpose.'' 

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  Mr. DERRICK moved the previous question on the resolution to its 
adoption or rejection.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House now order the previous question?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. GIBBONS, announced that the nays had it.
  Mr. DERRICK objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken by 
electronic device.

Para. 76.28  message from the president--credit and regulatory relief

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. WISE, laid before the House a message 
from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:

  I am pleased to transmit for your immediate consideration and 
enactment the ``Credit Availability and Regulatory Relief Act of 1992.'' 
This proposed legislation will enhance the availability of credit in the 
economy by reducing regulatory burdens on depository institutions. Also 
transmitted is a section-by-section analysis.
  The regulatory burden on the Nation's financial intermediaries has

[[Page 1196]]

reached a level that imposes unacceptable costs on the economy as a 
whole. Needless regulations restrict credit, slowing economic growth and 
job creation. Excessive costs weaken financial institutions, exposing 
the taxpayer to the risk of loss. Rigid supervisory formulas distort 
business decisions and discourage banks, thrifts, and credit unions from 
pursuing their core lending activities. In 1991, the Nation's banks 
spent an estimated $10.7 billion on regulatory compliance, or over 59 
percent of the system's entire annual profit. We cannot allow this 
unnecessary and oppressive burden to continue weighing down the consumer 
and business lending that will fuel economic recovery.
  The Credit Availability and Regulatory Relief Act of 1992 reduces or 
eliminates a wide range of these unnecessary financial institution 
costs. Among the significant changes that would be made by the bill are:
  --Elimination of the requirement that banking agencies develop 
    detailed ``micromanagement'' regulations for every aspect of an 
    institution's managerial and operational conduct, from the 
    compensation of employees to the ratio of market value to book value 
    of an institution's stock;
  --Enactment of a statutory requirement that regulations of the various 
    Federal banking agencies be as uniform as possible, to avoid the 
    complexity, inconsistencies, and comparative distortions that result 
    from widely varying regulatory practices;
  --Reduction of audit costs, by returning auditors to their 
    traditional function of investigating the accuracy of depository 
    institution financial statements and eliminating the costly and 
    misguided expansion of their role over legal and managerial 
    matters;
  --Alleviation of the significant paperwork burden imposed by the 
    Community Reinvestment Act on small, rural depository institutions 
    without exempting such institutions from the substantive 
    requirements to satisfy the credit needs of their entire 
    communities--coupled with creation of incentives for institutions 
    to reach higher levels of compliance by streamlining expansion 
    procedures for institutions with outstanding Community Reinvestment 
    Act ratings; and
  --Elimination of the requirement that the Federal Reserve write 
    detailed ``bright line'' regulations on the amounts of credit that 
    one depository can extend to another, thus retaining the Federal 
    Reserve's existing flexibility to supervise the payments system 
    without unduly inhibiting correspondent banking relationships.
  These changes, and the others made by the bill, will result in 
significant reductions to the administrative costs of depository 
institutions--costs that are currently passed on to borrowers in the 
form of restricted credit and higher priced loans.
  I would like to emphasize that none of the bill's provisions will 
compromise in any way the safety and soundness of the financial system. 
The legislation makes no changes to those elements of the 
Administration's proposed supervisory reforms that the Congress did 
adopt last year. All existing capital standards will remain in force 
and will be neither weakened nor modified by the proposed legislation; 
the ``prompt corrective action'' framework mandating swift regulatory 
responses to developing institutional problems will remain unchanged; 
and bank regulators will continue to have exceptionally tough 
enforcement powers.
  The legislation I am transmitting to you today is a broad and 
responsible solution to one of the major problems facing our financial 
system. The financial industry, the economy, and the public generally 
will benefit from enactment of this regulatory relief. I therefore urge 
the Congress to give high priority to the passage of the 
Administration's reforms.
                                                         George Bush.  
  The White House, June 24, 1992.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban 
Affairs and the Committee on Energy and Commerce and ordered to be 
printed (H. Doc. 102-350).

  Mr. HALL of Ohio, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up 
the following resolution (H. Res. 501):

       Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this 
     resolution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule 
     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the State of the Union for consideration of 
     the bill (H.R. 5368) making appropriations for foreign 
     operations, export financing, and related programs for the 
     fiscal year ending September 30, 1993, and for other 
     purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed 
     with. All points of order against consideration of the bill 
     are waived. After general debate, which shall be confined to 
     the bill and the amendment in the nature of a substitute 
     recommended by the Committee on Appropriations and which 
     shall not exceed one hour equally divided and controlled by 
     the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
     Appropriations, the pending question shall be the adoption of 
     the amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by 
     the Committee on Appropriations now printed in the bill. The 
     committee amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be 
     designated and shall be debatable for twenty minutes equally 
     divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority 
     member of the Committee on Appropriations. Points of order 
     against the committee amendment in the nature of a 
     substitute, and against provisions in the bill if so amended, 
     for failure to comply with

[[Page 1199]]

     clause 2 or 6 of rule XXI are waived. If the committee 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute is adopted, then the 
     bill as so amended shall be considered as the original bill 
     for the purpose of further amendment under the five-minute 
     rule and shall be considered as read. The amendment printed 
     in section 2 shall be considered as adopted in the House and 
     in the Committee of the Whole. No further amendment shall be 
     in order except those printed in the report of the Committee 
     on Rules accompanying this resolution. Amendments shall be 
     considered in the order and manner specified in the report. 
     Unless otherwise specified in the report, each amendment may 
     be offered only by the named proponent or a designee, shall 
     be considered as read, shall not be subject to amendment, and 
     shall not be subject to a demand for division of the question 
     in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. Any time 
     specified in the report for debate on an amendment shall be 
     equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an 
     opponent. Points of order under clause 2 of rule XXI against 
     the amendment specified in the report to be offered by 
     Representative Machtley of Rhode Island are waived. At the 
     conclusion of consideration of the bill for amendment the 
     Committee shall rise and report the bill to the House with 
     such amendments as may have been adopted. Any Member may 
     demand a separate vote in the House on any amendment adopted 
     in the Committee of the Whole to the bill or to the committee 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute. The previous 
     question shall be considered as ordered on the bill and 
     amendments thereto to final passage without intervening 
     motion except one motion to recommit with or without 
     instructions.
       Sec. 2. The amendment to be considered as adopted in the 
     House and in the Committee of the Whole to the committee 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute is as follows:
       Page 153, line 22, strike out ``Public Law 99-33'' and 
     insert in lieu thereof ``Public Law 99-83''.

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. HALL of Ohio, the previous question was ordered on 
the resolution to its adoption or rejection.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to said resolution?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, announced that the nays had it.
  Mr. HALL of Ohio objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was 
not present and not voting.

     to United States producers of the same, similar, or competing 
     commodity: Provided, That such prohibition shall not apply to 
     the Export-Import Bank if in the judgment of its Board of 
     Directors the benefits to industry and employment in the 
     United States are likely to outweigh the injury to United 
     States producers of the same, similar, or competing 
     commodity.
       (b) None of the funds appropriated by this or any other Act 
     to carry out chapter 1 of part I of the Foreign Assistance 
     Act of 1961 shall be available for any testing or breeding 
     feasibility study, variety improvement or introduction, 
     consultancy, publication, conference, or training in 
     connection with the growth or production in a foreign country 
     of an agricultural commodity for export which would compete 
     with a similar commodity grown or produced in the United 
     States: Provided, That this subsection shall not prohibit--
       (1) activities designed to increase food security in 
     developing countries where such activities will not have a 
     significant impact in the export of agricultural commodities 
     of the United States; or
       (2) research activities intended primarily to benefit 
     American producers.
       (c) None of the funds provided in this Act to the Agency 
     for International Development, other than funds made

              ECONOMIC SUPPORT FUND ASSISTANCE FOR ISRAEL

       Sec. 528. The Congress finds that progress on the peace 
     process in the Middle East is vitally important to United 
     States security interests in the region. The Congress 
     recognizes that, in fulfilling its obligations under the 
     Treaty of Peace Between the Arab Republic of Egypt and the 
     State of Israel, done at Washington on March 26, 1979, Israel 
     incurred severe economic burdens. Furthermore, the Congress 
     recognizes that an economically and militarily secure Israel 
     serves the security interests of the United States, for a 
     secure Israel is an Israel which has the incentive and 
     confidence to continue pursuing the peace process. Therefore, 
     the Congress declares that it is the policy and the intention 
     of the United States that the funds provided in annual 
     appropriations for the Economic Support Fund which are 
     allocated to Israel shall not be less than the annual debt 
     repayment (interest and principal) from Israel to the United 
     States Government in recognition that such a principle serves 
     United States interests in the region.

     1991, and notwithstanding any other provision of law, shall 
     remain available until expended.

     the implementation of the Peace Accords, including 
     implementation of the National Reconstruction Plan of the 
     Government of El Salvador.
       (d) None of the funds transferred to the Demobilization and 
     Transition Fund shall be made available for obligation from 
     the Fund except through the regular reprogramming procedures 
     of the Committees on Appropriations, the Committee on Foreign 
     Affairs of the House of Representatives, and the Committee on 
     Foreign Relations of the Senate.
       (e) Funds transferred to the Demobilization and Transition 
     Fund may be used for assistance for law enforcement in a

     660 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.

     early in the project cycle, include consideration of 
     alternatives to the proposed project, and encourage public 
     participation in the EIA process;
       (4) continue to include the environmental costs of proposed 
     projects with significant environmental impacts in economic 
     assessments; and
       (5) continue to provide technical assistance as a component 
     of energy sector lending.
       (b) The Secretary of the Treasury shall vigorously promote

             NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION POLICY IN SOUTH ASIA

       Sec. 585. The Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 is amended by 
     inserting the following new section:

     ``SEC. 620F. NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION POLICY IN SOUTH ASIA.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction 
     remains one of the most serious threats to international 
     peace and stability;
       ``(2) South Asia, in particular, is an area where the 
     threat of a regional nuclear exchange remains high due to 
     continued Indo-Pakistani tensions over issues such as 
     Kashmir;
       ``(3) to date, United States efforts to halt proliferation 
     in South Asia have failed;
       ``(4) although global disarmament is a desirable goal which 
     should be vigorously pursued, both regional and sub-regional 
     security arrangements can serve to decrease tensions and 
     promote non-proliferation in certain areas;
       ``(5) thus far, there has been some success on a regional 
     basis, such as the South Pacific Nuclear Weapons Free Zone 
     and the Treaty of Tlatelolco in Latin America;
       ``(6) in particular, in Latin America, the Treaty of 
     Tlatelolco has been signed by all the nuclear powers;
       ``(7) a critical part of this treaty is Protocol II which 
     prohibits nuclear attacks by nuclear weapons states on 
     signatories to the treaty;
       ``(8) in 1991, a proposal was made for a regional 
     conference on non-proliferation in South Asia which would 
     include Pakistan, India, the People's Republic of China, the 
     Soviet Union, and the United States; and
       ``(9) thus far, Pakistan, China, Russia, and the United 
     States have expressed interest in attending such a 
     conference, whereas India has refused to attend.
       ``(b) Policy.--The Congress is encouraged by the impending 
     bilateral conference between the United States and India to 
     address the serious question of nuclear proliferation in 
     South Asia. It is the sense of the House that the President 
     should pursue a policy which seeks a regional negotiated 
     solution to the issue of nuclear non-proliferation in South 
     Asia at the earliest possible time, including a protocol to 
     be signed by all nuclear weapons states, prohibiting nuclear 
     attacks by nuclear weapons states on countries in the region. 
     Such a policy should have as its ultimate goal concurrent 
     accession by Pakistan and India to the Nuclear Non-
     Proliferation Treaty, and should also include as needed a 
     phased approach to that goal through a series of agreements 
     among the parties on nuclear issues, such as the agreement 
     reached by Pakistan and India not to attack one another's 
     nuclear facilities.
       ``(c) Report on Progress Toward Regional Non-
     Proliferation.--Not later than six months after the date of 
     enactment of this Act and every six months thereafter, the 
     President shall submit a report to the Committees on 
     Appropriations, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, 
     and the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
     Senate, on nuclear proliferation in South Asia, including 
     efforts taken by the United States to achieve a regional 
     agreement on nuclear non-proliferation, and including a 
     comprehensive list of the obstacles to concluding such a 
     regional agreement.
       ``(d) Report on South Asian Nuclear Programs.--Not later 
     than six months after the enactment of this Act, the 
     President shall submit a report with respect to the People's 
     Republic of China, Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka in writing 
     to the Committees on Appropriations, the Speaker of the House 
     of Representatives, the chairman of the Committee on Foreign 
     Relations of the Senate,

[[Page 1214]]

     on that country's nuclear and ballistic missile programs, 
     including, but not limited to--
       ``(1) a determination as to whether that country possesses 
     a nuclear explosive device or whether it possesses all the 
     components necessary for the assembly of such a device;
       ``(2) a complete report on the status of that country's 
     missile development program, foreign assistance to that 
     program, and foreign sales of missiles or missile components 
     to that country and steps which the United States has taken 
     in response to such sales; and
       ``(3) a report on whether that country has agreed to fully 
     adhere, and is adhering, to all peaceful nuclear cooperation 
     agreements with the United States and has formally agreed to 
     place all United States-supplied nuclear materials under 
     international safeguards in perpetuity.''.


                          cash flow financing

       Sec. 586. For each country that has been approved for cash 
     flow financing (as defined in section 25(d) of the Arms

     Letter of Offer and Acceptance or other purchase agreement, 
     or any amendment thereto, for a procurement in excess of 
     $100,000,000 that is to be financed in whole or in part with 
     funds made available under this Act shall be submitted 
     through the regular notification procedures to the Committees 
     on Appropriations.

     (including earmarked funds) made available in Public Law 101-

     operations, export financing, and related programs to carry 
     out the provisions of chapters 1 and 10 of part I of the 
     Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, $37,500,000 are rescinded.
       (b) Of the unexpended balances of funds (including 
     earmarked funds) made available in Public Law 101-513 and 
     prior Acts making appropriations for foreign operations, 
     export financing, and related programs to carry out the 
     provisions of chapter 4 of part II of the Foreign Assistance 
     Act of 1961, $37,500,000 are rescinded.
       (c) Of the funds made available (including earmarked funds) 
     in Public Law 101-513 and prior Acts making appropriations 
     for foreign operations, export financing, and related 
     programs to carry out the provisions of section 23 of the 
     Arms Export Control Act and section 503 of the Foreign 
     Assistance Act of 1961, $75,000,000 are rescinded.


                         anti-narcotics update

       Sec. 588. (a) Of the funds appropriated by this Act under 
     the heading ``Economic Support Fund'', assistance may be

     countries in Latin America and the Caribbean in accordance 
     with the provisions of section 534 of the Foreign Assistance 
     Act of 1961, except that programs to enhance protection of 
     participants in judicial cases may be conducted 
     notwithstanding section 660 of that Act;
       (2) notwithstanding section 660 of the Foreign Assistance 
     Act of 1961, up to $10,000,000 may be made available for

     State of Israel, done at Washington on March 26, 1979, Israel 
     incurred severe economic burdens. Furthermore, the Congress 
     recognizes that an economically and militarily secure Israel 
     serves the security interests of the United States, for a 
     secure Israel is an Israel which has the incentive and 
     confidence to continue pursuing the peace process. Therefore, 
     the Congress declares that it is the policy and the intention 
     of the United States that the funds provided in annual 
     appropriations for the Economic Support Fund which are 
     allocated to Israel shall not be less than the annual debt 
     repayment (interest and principal) from Israel to the United 
     States Government in recognition that such a principle serves 
     United States interests in the region.

             NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION POLICY IN SOUTH ASIA

       Sec. 585. The Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 is amended by 
     inserting the following new section:

     ``SEC. 620F. NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION POLICY IN SOUTH ASIA.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction 
     remains one of the most serious threats to international 
     peace and stability;
       ``(2) South Asia, in particular, is an area where the 
     threat of a regional nuclear exchange remains high due to 
     continued Indo-Pakistani tensions over issues such as 
     Kashmir;
       ``(3) to date, United States efforts to halt proliferation 
     in South Asia have failed;
       ``(4) although global disarmament is a desirable goal which 
     should be vigorously pursued, both regional and sub-regional 
     security arrangements can serve to decrease tensions and 
     promote non-proliferation in certain areas;
       ``(5) thus far, there has been some success on a regional 
     basis, such as the South Pacific Nuclear Weapons Free Zone 
     and the Treaty of Tlatelolco in Latin America;
       ``(6) in particular, in Latin America, the Treaty of 
     Tlatelolco has been signed by all the nuclear powers;
       ``(7) a critical part of this treaty is Protocol II which 
     prohibits nuclear attacks by nuclear weapons states on 
     signatories to the treaty;
       ``(8) in 1991, a proposal was made for a regional 
     conference on non-proliferation in South Asia which would 
     include Pakistan, India, the People's Republic of China, the 
     Soviet Union, and the United States; and
       ``(9) thus far, Pakistan, China, Russia, and the United 
     States have expressed interest in attending such a 
     conference, whereas India has refused to attend.
       ``(b) Policy.--The Congress is encouraged by the impending 
     bilateral conference between the United States and India to 
     address the serious question of nuclear proliferation in 
     South Asia. It is the sense of the House that the President 
     should pursue a policy which seeks a regional negotiated 
     solution to the issue of nuclear non-proliferation in South 
     Asia at the earliest possible time, including a protocol to 
     be signed by all nuclear weapons states, prohibiting nuclear 
     attacks by nuclear weapons states on countries in the region. 
     Such a policy should have as its ultimate goal concurrent 
     accession by Pakistan and India to the Nuclear Non-
     Proliferation Treaty, and should also include as needed a 
     phased approach to that goal through a series of agreements 
     among the parties on nuclear issues, such as the agreement 
     reached by Pakistan and India not to attack one another's 
     nuclear facilities.
       ``(c) Report on Progress Toward Regional Non-
     Proliferation.--Not later than six months after the date of 
     enactment of this Act and every six months thereafter, the 
     President shall submit a report to the Committees on 
     Appropriations, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, 
     and the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
     Senate, on nuclear proliferation in South Asia, including 
     efforts taken by the United States to achieve a regional 
     agreement on nuclear non-proliferation, and including a 
     comprehensive list of the obstacles to concluding such a 
     regional agreement.
       ``(d) Report on South Asian Nuclear Programs.--Not later 
     than six months after the enactment of this Act, the 
     President shall submit a report with respect to the People's 
     Republic of China, Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka in writing 
     to the Committees on Appropriations, the Speaker of the House 
     of Representatives, the chairman of the Committee on Foreign 
     Relations of the Senate, on that country's nuclear and 
     ballistic missile programs, including, but not limited to--
       ``(1) a determination as to whether that country possesses 
     a nuclear explosive device or whether it possesses all the 
     components necessary for the assembly of such a device;
       ``(2) a complete report on the status of that country's 
     missile development program, foreign assistance to that 
     program, and foreign sales of missiles or missile components 
     to that country and steps which the United States has taken 
     in response to such sales; and
       ``(3) a report on whether that country has agreed to fully 
     adhere, and is adhering, to all peaceful nuclear cooperation 
     agreements with the United States and has formally agreed to 
     place all United States-supplied nuclear materials under 
     international safeguards in perpetuity.''.

     participant who retires on an immediate annuity (except under 
     section 231) or who dies leaving a survivor or survivors 
     entitled to an annuity shall include (without regard to the 
     35-year limitation prescribed in paragraph (1)) the days of 
     unused sick leave to the credit of the participant. Days of 
     unused sick leave may not be counted in determining average 
     basic pay or eligibility for an annuity under this title. A

       ``(A) In general.--In the case of a participant whose 
     service includes service on a part-time basis performed after

     portion of an annuity referred to in subparagraph (A) with 
     respect to service before April 7, 1986, shall be the amount 
     computed under paragraph (1) using the participant's length 
     of service before that date (increased by the unused sick 
     leave to the credit of the participant at the time of 
     retirement) and the participant's high-3 average pay.
       ``(C) Computation of post-april 6, 1986, annuity.--The 
     portion of an annuity referred to in subparagraph (A) with 
     respect to service after April 6, 1986, shall be the product 
     of--
       ``(i) the amount computed under paragraph (1), using the 
     participant's length of service after that date and the 
     participant's high-3 average pay, as determined by using the 
     annual rate of basic pay that would be payable for full-time 
     service; and

     after April 6, 1986 (as determined by prorating the 
     participant's total service after that date to reflect the 
     service that was performed on a part-time basis) bears to the 
     total service after that date that would be creditable for 
     the participant if all the service had been performed on a 
     full-time basis.
       ``(D) Treatment of employment on temporary or intermittent 
     basis.--Employment on a temporary or intermittent basis shall

     consecutive years of the participant's service (or, in the 
     case of an annuity computed under section 232 and based on 
     less than 3 years, over the total service) for which full 
     contributions have been made to the fund.

     participant is married (or has a former spouse who has not 
     remarried before attaining age 55), the participant shall

     former spouse, the base used in calculating any annuity of 
     the former spouse under section 222(b) may not exceed the 
     portion of the participant's annuity designated under this 
     subparagraph.

     before the end of the 12-month period beginning on the date 
     on which the divorce or annulment involving that former 
     spouse becomes final, or (ii) at

     spouse.--The Director may prescribe regulations under which a 
     participant or former participant may make an election under 
     subparagraph (B) or (C) without the participant's spouse or 
     former spouse if the participant establishes to the 
     satisfaction of the Director that the participant does not

     committed as a base for any survivor annuity, shall be 
     reduced by 2\1/2\ percent of the first $3,600 plus 10 percent 
     of any amount over $3,600. The reduction under this paragraph 
     shall be calculated before any reduction under section 
     222(a)(5).

       ``(A) In general.--If a retired participant receiving a 
     reduced annuity under this subsection dies and is survived by

     spouse. The amount of the annuity shall be equal to 55 
     percent of (i) the full amount of the participant's annuity 
     computed under subsection (a), or (ii) any lesser amount 
     elected as the base for the survivor annuity under paragraph 
     (1)(B).
       ``(B) Limitation.--Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), the 
     amount of the annuity calculated under subparagraph (A) for a 
     surviving spouse in any case in which there is also a 
     surviving former spouse of the retired participant who 
     qualifies for an annuity under section 222(b) may not exceed 
     55 percent of the portion (if any) of the base for survivor 
     annuities which remains available under section 222(b)(4)(B).

     annuity payable from the fund to a surviving spouse under 
     this paragraph shall commence on the day after the retired 
     participant dies and shall terminate on the last day of the 
     month before the surviving spouse's death or remarriage 
     before attaining age 55. If such survivor annuity is 
     terminated because of remarriage, it shall be restored at the 
     same rate commencing on the date such remarriage is dissolved 
     by death, annulment, or divorce if any lump sum paid upon 
     termination of the annuity is returned to the fund.

     shall, upon the participant's own application or upon order 
     of the Director, be retired on an annuity computed under 
     subsection (b).
       ``(2) Standard for disability determination.--A participant 
     shall be considered to be disabled only if the participant--
       ``(A) is found by the Director to be unable, because of 
     disease or injury, to render useful and efficient service in

     prescribed by the Director, to a vacant position in the 
     Agency at the same grade or level and in which the 
     participant would be able to render useful and efficient 
     service.
       ``(3) Time limit for application.--
       ``(A) One year requirement.--A claim may be allowed under 
     this section only if the application is submitted before the 
     participant is separated from the Agency or within one year 
     thereafter.

     time limitation may be waived by the Director for a 
     participant who, at the date of separation from the Agency or 
     within one year thereafter, is mentally incompetent, if the 
     application is filed with the Agency within one year from the 
     date of restoration of the participant to competency or the 
     appointment of a fiduciary, whichever is earlier.
       ``(b) Computation of Disability Annuity.--
       ``(1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), an 
     annuity payable under subsection (a) shall be computed under 
     section 221(a). However, if the disabled or incapacitated 
     participant has less than 20 years of service credit toward 
     retirement under the system at the time of retirement, the 
     annuity shall be computed on the assumption that the 
     participant has had 20 years of service, but the additional 
     service credit that may accrue to a participant under this 
     paragraph may not exceed the difference between the 
     participant's age at the time of retirement and age 60.
       ``(2) Coordination with military retired pay and veterans' 
     compensation and pension.--If a participant retiring under 
     this section is receiving retired pay or retainer pay for 
     military service (except that specified in section 252(e)(3)) 
     or Department of Veterans Affairs compensation or pension in 
     lieu of such retired or retainer pay, the annuity of that 
     participant shall be computed under section 221(a), excluding 
     credit for such military service from that computation. If 
     the amount of the annuity so computed, plus the retired or 
     retainer pay which is received, or which would be received 
     but for the application of the limitation in section 5532 of 
     title 5, United States Code, or the Department of Veterans 
     Affairs compensation or pension in lieu of such retired or 
     retainer pay, is less than the annuity that would be payable 
     under this section in the absence of the previous sentence, 
     an amount equal to the difference shall be added to the 
     annuity payable under section 221(a).
       ``(c) Medical Examinations.--
       ``(1) Medical examination required for determination of 
     disability.--In each case, the participant shall be given a 
     medical examination by one or more duly qualified physicians 
     or surgeons designated by the Director to conduct 
     examinations, and disability shall be determined by the 
     Director on the basis of the advice of such physicians or 
     surgeons.
       ``(2) Annual reexaminations until age 60.--Unless the 
     disability is permanent, like examinations shall be made 
     annually until the annuitant becomes age 60. If the Director 
     determines on the basis of the advice of one or more duly 
     qualified physicians or surgeons conducting such examinations 
     that an annuitant has recovered to the extent that the 
     annuitant can return to duty, the annuitant may apply for 
     reinstatement or reappointment in the Agency within one year 
     from the date the annuitant's recovery is determined.
       ``(3) Reinstatement.--Upon application, the Director may 
     reinstate any such recovered disability annuitant in the 
     grade held at time of retirement, or the Director may, taking 
     into consideration the age, qualifications, and experience of 
     such annuitant, and the present grade of the annuitant's 
     contemporaries in the Agency, appoint the annuitant to a 
     grade higher than the one held before retirement.
       ``(4) Termination of disability annuity.--Payment of the 
     annuity shall continue until a date one year after the date 
     of examination showing recovery or until the date of 
     reinstatement or reappointment in the Agency, whichever is 
     earlier.
       ``(5) Payment of fees.--Fees for examinations under this 
     subsection, together with reasonable traveling and other 
     expenses incurred in order to submit to examination, may be 
     paid out of the fund.
       ``(6) Suspension of annuity pending required examination.--
     If the annuitant fails to submit to examination as required 
     under this section, payment of the annuity shall be suspended 
     until continuance of the disability is satisfactorily 
     established.
       ``(7) Termination of annuity upon restoration of earning 
     capacity.--If the annuitant receiving a disability retirement 
     annuity is restored to earning capacity before becoming age 
     60, payment of the annuity terminates on reemployment by the 
     Government or 180 days after the end of the calendar year in 
     which earning capacity is restored, whichever is earlier. 
     Earning capacity shall be considered to be restored if in any 
     calendar year the income of the annuitant from wages or self-
     employment, or both, equals at least 80 percent of the 
     current rate of pay for the grade and step the annuitant held 
     at the time of retirement.
       ``(d) Treatment of Recovered Disability Annuitant Who Is 
     Not Reinstated.--
       ``(1) Separation.--If a recovered or restored disability 
     annuitant whose annuity is discontinued is for any reason not 
     reinstated or reappointed in the Agency, the annuitant shall 
     be considered, except for service credit, to have been 
     separated within the meaning of section 234 as of the date of 
     termination of the disability annuity.
       ``(2) Retirement.--After such termination, the recovered or 
     restored annuitant shall be entitled to the benefits of 
     section 234 or 241(b), except that the annuitant may elect 
     voluntary retirement under section 233, if qualified 
     thereunder, or may be placed by the Director in an 
     involuntary retirement status under section 235(a), if 
     qualified thereunder. Retirement rights under this paragraph 
     shall be based on the provisions of this title in effect as 
     of the date on which the disability annuity is discontinued.
       ``(3) Further disability before age 62.--If, based on a 
     current medical examination, the Director determines that a 
     recovered annuitant has, before reaching age 62, again become 
     totally disabled due to recurrence of the disability for 
     which the annuitant was originally retired, the annuitant's 
     terminated disability annuity (same type and rate) shall be 
     reinstated from the date of such medical examination. If a 
     restored-to-earning-capacity annuitant has not medically 
     recovered from the disability for which retired and 
     establishes to the Director's satisfaction that the 
     annuitant's income from wages and self-employment in any 
     calendar year before reaching age 62 was less than 80 percent 
     of the rate of pay for the grade and step the annuitant held 
     at the time of retirement, the annuitant's terminated 
     disability annuity (same type and rate) shall be reinstated 
     from the first of the next following year. If the annuitant 
     has been allowed an involuntary or voluntary retirement 
     annuity in the meantime, the annuitant's reinstated 
     disability annuity shall be substituted for it unless the 
     annuitant elects to retain the former benefit.
       ``(e) Coordination of Benefits.--
       ``(1) Workers' compensation.--A participant is not entitled 
     to receive for the same period of time--
       ``(A) an annuity under this title, and
       ``(B) compensation for injury to, or disability of, such 
     participant under subchapter I of chapter 81 of title 5, 
     United States Code, other than compensation payable under 
     section 8107 of such title.
       ``(2) Survivor annuities.--An individual is not entitled to 
     receive an annuity under this title and a concurrent benefit 
     under subchapter I of chapter 81 of title 5, United States 
     Code, on account of the death of the same person.
       ``(3) Greater benefit.--Paragraphs (1) and (2) do not bar 
     the right of a claimant to the greater benefit conferred by 
     either this title or subchapter I of chapter 81 of title 5, 
     United States Code.

     Compensation Payment.--

     entitled to an annuity under this title and the individual 
     receives a lump-sum payment for compensation under section 
     8135 of title 5, United States Code, based on the disability 
     or death of the same person, so much of the compensation as 
     has been paid for a period extended beyond the date payment 
     of the annuity commences, as determined by the Secretary of 
     Labor, shall be refunded to the Department for credit to the 
     Employees' Compensation Fund. Before the individual may 
     receive the annuity, the individual shall--
       ``(A) refund to the Secretary of Labor the amount 
     representing the commuted compensation payments for the 
     extended period; or
       ``(B) authorize the deduction of the amount from the 
     annuity.
       ``(2) Source of deduction.--Deductions from the annuity may 
     be made from accrued or accruing payments. The amounts 
     deducted and withheld from the annuity shall be transmitted 
     to the Secretary for reimbursement to the Employees' 
     Compensation Fund.
       ``(3) Prorating deduction.--If the Secretary finds that the 
     financial circumstances of an individual entitled to an 
     annuity under this title warrant deferred refunding, 
     deductions from the annuity may be prorated against and paid 
     from accruing payments in such manner as the Secretary 
     determines appropriate.

     this title on or before September 8, 1982, or who is entitled 
     to a deferred annuity based on separation from the Agency

     recomputation, the annuity of such participant shall be 
     reduced at age 62 by an amount equal to a fraction of the 
     participant's old-age or survivors' insurance benefits under 
     section 202 of the Social Security Act. The reduction shall 
     be determined by multiplying the participant's monthly Social 
     Security benefit by a fraction, the numerator of which is the 
     participant's total military wages and deemed additional 
     wages (within the meaning of section 229 of the Social 
     Security Act (42 U.S.C. 429)) that were subject to Social

     applicable to any annuity payment payable after October 1, 
     1982, including annuity payments to participants who had 
     previously reached age 62 and whose annuities had already 
     been recomputed.

Para. 77.20  message from the president--gi bills for children

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McCURDY, laid before the House a message 
from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:

  Forty-eight years ago this week, President Franklin Roosevelt signed 
the GI Bill. With the hope of duplicating the success of that historic 
legislation, I am pleased to transmit for your immediate consideration 
and enactment the ``Federal Grants for State and Local `GI Bills' for 
Children.'' This proposal is a crucial component of our efforts to help 
the country achieve the National Education Goals by the year 2000. Also 
transmitted is a section-by-section analysis.
  This legislation would authorize half-a-billion new Federal dollars in 
fiscal year 1993, and additional amounts in later years, to help States 
and communities give $1,000 scholarships to middle- and low-income 
children. Families may spend these scholarships at any lawfully 
operating school of their choice--public, private, or religious. The 
result would be to give middle- and low-income families consumer power--
dollars to spend at any school they choose. This is the muscle parents 
need to transform our education system and create the best schools in 
the world for all our children.
  At the close of World War II, the Federal Government created the GI 
Bill giving veterans scholarships to use at any college of their 
choice--public, private, or religious. This consumer power gave veterans 
opportunity, helped to create the best system of colleges and 
universities in the world, and gave America a new generation of leaders. 
Now that the Cold War is over, the Federal Government should help State 
and local governments create GI Bills for children. Under this approach, 
scholarships would be available for middle- and low-income parents to 
use at the elementary or secondary school of their choice.
  This bill will give middle- and low-income families more of the same 
choices available to wealthier families. Through families, it will 
provide new funds at the school site that teachers and principals can 
use to help all children achieve the high educational standards called 
for by the National Education Goals. In addition, the legislation will 
create a marketplace of educational opportunities to help improve all 
schools; engage parents in their children's schooling; and encourage 
creation of other academic programs for children before and after 
school, on weekends, or during school vacations.
  Once this proposal is enacted, any State or locality can apply for 
enough Federal funds to give each child of a middle- or low-income 
family a $1,000 annual scholarship. The governmental unit would have to 
take significant steps to provide a choice of schools to families with 
school children in the area and permit families to spend the $1,000 
Federal scholarships at a wide variety of public and private schools. It 
would have to allow all lawfully operating schools in the area--public, 
private, and religious--to participate if they choose.
  The Secretary of Education would select grantees on the basis of: (1) 
the number and variety of choices made available to families; (2) the 
extent to which the applicant has provided educational choices to all 
children, including children who are not eligible for scholarships; (3) 
the proportion of children who will participate who are from low-income 
families; and (4) the applicant's financial support (including private 
support) for the project.
  The maximum family income for eligible children would be determined by 
the grantee, but it could not exceed the higher of the State or national 
median income, adjusted for family size. All eligible children in the 
project area would receive scholarships, as long as sufficient funds are 
available. If all eligible children cannot participate, the grantee 
would provide scholarships to those with the lowest family incomes. 
Students would continue to receive scholarships over the 4-year life of 
a project unless they leave school, move out of the area, or no longer 
meet the income criteria. Up to $500 of each scholarship may be used for 
other academic programs for children before and

[[Page 1249]]

after school, on weekends, or during school vacations.
  This bill provides aid to families, not institutions. However, as a 
condition of participating in this program, a school must comply with 
Federal anti-discrimination provisions of: section 601 of title VI of 
the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (race), section 901 of Title IX of the 
Education Amendments of 1972 (gender), and section 504 of the 
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (disability).
  Funding is authorized at $500 million in FY 1993, and ``such sums as 
may be necessary'' through FY 2000. The Department of Education would 
conduct a comprehensive evaluation of these demonstration projects. The 
evaluation would assess the impact of the program in such areas as 
educational achievement and parents' involvement in, and satisfaction 
with, their children's education.

       Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:
              TITLE I--NATIONAL UNDERSEA RESEARCH PROGRAM

     SEC. 101. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``National Undersea Research 
     Program Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 102. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) The world's oceans occupy 317,000,000 cubic miles, and 
     constitute 71 percent of the surface of the earth.
       (2) The Great Lakes comprise 20 percent of the world's 
     freshwater and are a valuable, international, commercial, and 
     recreational resource.
       (3) The oceans and Great Lakes are inextricably linked to 
     many important global processes, such as global temperature, 
     weather patterns, and nutrient cycling.
       (4) The oceans and Great Lakes hold many undiscovered or 
     unexploited mineral and biological resources.
       (5) A majority of invertebrate phyla and over half the 
     vertebrate species inhabit the oceans.
       (6) The genetic diversity of marine organisms makes the 
     oceans a potentially important source of undiscovered medical 
     agents.
       (7) Understanding of the physical, chemical, geological, 
     and biological processes which govern dynamics in the oceans 
     and Great Lakes, particularly the deep ocean, is limited.
       (8) Oceanic and limnological researchers require 
     increasingly more advanced technologies and methodologies to 
     accomplish complex research goals.
       (9) Advanced underwater technology, including diving, 
     underwater laboratories, research submersibles, and remotely 
     operated vehicles, must be an integral part of the Nation's 
     efforts to study, understand, utilize, conserve, and wisely 
     manage the aquatic environment.
       (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this title is to establish a 
     program of research to better understand ocean and large 
     lakes ecosystems and their role in global systems.

To the Congress of the United States:

  I am pleased to transmit to the Congress, pursuant to sections 123 b. 
and 123 d. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2153 
(b), (d)), the text of an exchange of diplomatic notes between the 
United States and Indonesia dated August 23, 1991, constituting an 
agreement to extend for 10 years the Agreement for Cooperation Between 
the United States of America and the Republic of Indonesia Concerning 
Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy signed at Washington, June 30, 1980. I 
am also pleased to transmit my written approval, authorization, and 
determination concerning the extension and a memorandum by the Director 
of the United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency including a 
Nuclear

[[Page 1273]]

Proliferation Assessment Statement. The joint memorandum submitted to me 
by the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Energy, which also 
includes other agency views, is also enclosed.
  The proposed extension of the agreement for cooperation with the 
Republic of Indonesia has been negotiated in accordance with the Atomic 
Energy Act of 1954, as amended by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of 
1978 and as otherwise amended. In my judgment, the proposed extension 
meets all statutory requirements and will advance the non-proliferation 
and other foreign policy interests of the United States. It provides for 
the agreement to remain in force for an additional period of 10 years. 
In all other respects, the text of the agreement remains the same as 
that reviewed favorably by the Congress in 1980/1981.
  Indonesia is a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear 
Weapons (NPT) and is fully in compliance with its nuclear non-
proliferation commitments under that Treaty.
  I have considered the views and recommendations of the interested 
agencies in reviewing the proposed extension and have determined that 
continued performance of the agreement for cooperation will promote, and 
will not constitute an unreasonable risk to, the common defense and 
security. Accordingly, I approved the agreement on extension and 
authorized its execution. I urge that the Congress give it favorable 
consideration.
  This transmission shall constitute a submittal for purposes of both 
sections 123 b. and 123 d. of the Atomic Energy Act. The Administration 
is prepared to begin immediately consultations with the Senate Foreign 
Relations and House Foreign Affairs Committees as provided in section 
123 b. Upon completion of the 30-day continuous session period provided 
for in section 123 b., the 60-day continuous session period provided for 
in section 123 d. shall commence.
                                                            George Bush.
  The White House, June 30, 1992.

papers, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and ordered to

     women.

     case of any application for a grant under subsection (a) that

     involved agrees as a condition of receiving the grant to 
     provide non-Federal contributions under subsection (c) in a 
     greater amount than the amount required under such subsection 
     for the applicable fiscal year.

     State involved agrees that the grant will be expended only

       ``(2) lacks the transportation necessary to gain access to

     results in impeding the ability of such woman to utilize

     with a team established in accordance with paragraph (5) for 
     the family involved, shall develop a plan for the family

     plan shall reflect--
       ``(A) an assessment of the health and related social 
     service needs of the family;

     services to meet the identified needs of the family;

     pregnancy as is practicable, and until the infant reaches at 
     least 2 years of age; and

       ``(2) the entity will coordinate with public health and

     the Secretary shall give preference to any application--
       ``(1) made by a trauma center that, for the purpose 
     specified in such section, will receive financial assistance 
     from the State or political subdivision involved for each 
     fiscal year during which payments are made to the center from 
     the grant, which financial assistance is exclusive of any 
     assistance provided by the State or political subdivision as 
     a non-Federal contribution under any Federal program 
     requiring such a contribution; or
       ``(2) made by a trauma center that, with respect to the 
     system described in section 1241(b)(2) in which the center is 
     a participant--
       ``(A) is providing trauma care in a geographic area in 
     which the availability of trauma care has significantly 
     decreased as a result of a trauma center in the area 
     permanently ceasing participation in such system as of a date 
     occurring during the 2-year period specified in section 
     1241(b)(1)(B); or
       ``(B) will, in providing trauma care during the 1-year 
     period beginning on the date on which the application for the 
     grant is submitted, incur uncompensated costs in an amount 
     rendering the center unable to continue participation in such 
     system, resulting in a significant decrease in the 
     availability of trauma care in the geographic area.
       ``(b) Further Preference for Certain Applications.--With 
     respect to applications for grants under section 1241 that 
     are receiving preference for purposes of subsection (a), the 
     Secretary shall give further preference to any such 
     application made by a trauma center for which a 
     disproportionate percentage of the uncompensated costs of the 
     center result from the provision of trauma care to 
     individuals who neither are citizens nor aliens lawfully 
     admitted to the United States for permanent residence.

     ``SEC. 1243. CERTAIN AGREEMENTS.

       ``(a) Commitment Regarding Continued Participation in 
     Trauma Care System.--The Secretary may not make a grant under 
     subsection (a) of section 1241 unless the trauma center 
     involved agrees that--
       ``(1) the center will continue participation in the system 
     described in subsection (b) of such section throughout the 3-
     year period beginning on the date that the center first 
     receives payments under the grant; and
       ``(2) if the agreement made pursuant to paragraph (1) is 
     violated by the center, the center will be liable to the 
     United States for an amount equal to the sum of--
       ``(A) the amount of assistance provided to the center under 
     subsection (a) of such section; and
       ``(B) an amount representing interest on the amount 
     specified in subparagraph (A).
       ``(b) Maintenance of Financial Support.--With respect to 
     activities for which a grant under section 1241 is authorized 
     to be expended, the Secretary may not make such a grant 
     unless the trauma center involved agrees that, during the 
     period in which the center is receiving payments under the 
     grant, the center will maintain expenditures for such 
     activities at a level that is not less than the level 
     maintained by the center during the fiscal year preceding the 
     first fiscal year for which the center receives such 
     payments.
       ``(c) Trauma Care Registry.--The Secretary may not make a 
     grant under section 1241(a) unless the trauma center involved 
     agrees that--
       ``(1) the center will operate a registry of trauma cases in 
     accordance with the applicable guidelines described in 
     section 1241(b)(2)(C), and will begin operation of the 
     registry not later than 6 months after the date on which the 
     center submits to the Secretary the application for the 
     grant; and
       ``(2) in carrying out paragraph (1), the center will 
     maintain information on the number of trauma cases treated by 
     the center and, for each such case, the extent to which the 
     center incurs uncompensated costs in providing trauma care.

       At the end of title III relating to ``Executive Office of 
     the President'', insert the following paragraph:


                    reduction in amounts under title

       Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, each 
     amount appropriated or otherwise made available by this title 
     that is not required to be appropriated or otherwise made 
     available by a provision of law is hereby reduced by 5.7 
     percent.
       Page 64, strike out lines 8 through 15 and insert: ``Any 
     Federal agency which leases commercial space in the Omaha, 
     Nebraska--Council Bluffs, Iowa, geographical area, when 
     entering into new leases, shall give preference to space 
     available meeting standard government lease criteria, 
     provided the space also meets the occupying agency's mission 
     requirement. The agency shall give priority consideration to 
     space offered at the lowest cost per square foot within the 
     geographical area, provided that the space under 
     consideration also affords accessibility to the greatest 
     number of members of the public served by the Federal agency, 
     and to other factors set out in the applicable statutes and 
     regulations.''
       At the end of the bill, insert after the last section 
     (preceding the short title) the following new section:
       Sec.   . Sense of the House.--
       Whereas the United States Postal Service will spend 
     $440,000 to send 171 of their ``customers'' to Barcelona, 
     Spain for the 1992 Summer Olympics;
       Whereas the Postal Service will pay for travel expenses, 
     hotel costs, daily tickets to events, ground transportation, 
     receptions, and meals for 171 individuals;
       Whereas the Postal Service expects to spend $122,000,000 
     for its sponsorship of the Olympics;
       Whereas in 1991 the Postal Service raised first-class 
     postal rates 16 percent from 25 cents to 29 cents when the 
     inflation rate was under four percent; and
       Whereas the Postal Service recorded a $1.5 billion debt in 
     1991 and has been in debt for the past five years: Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of 
     Representatives that--
       (1) the funding by the United States Postal Office of trips 
     to the Olympics for high volume mailers is an excessive and 
     inappropriate expense to American taxpayers who partially 
     support such service financially; and
       (2) the United States Postal Service should limit 
     expenditures to improve delivery of the mail.
       Page 95, after line 8, insert the following new section:
       ``None of the funds made available by this Act shall be 
     available for approval of any certificate of label approval 
     which authorizes the use of the name Crazy Horse on any 
     distilled spirit, wine or malt beverage product.''

  The bill, as amended, was ordered to be engrossed and read a third 
time, was read a third time by title.
  Mr. MYERS moved to recommit the bill to the Committee on 
Appropriations with instructions to report the bill back to the House 
forthwith with the following amendment:
       None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available 
     in this Act shall be made available to an entity when it 
     shall be made known to the Secretary that such entity has an 
     announced policy of denying funds to the Boy Scouts of 
     America and the activities of the Boy Scouts of America.
  Pending consideration of said motion,

Para. 81.31  point of order

  Mr. ROYBAL made a point of order against said motion, and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order against the motion to recommit 
with instructions because it includes a limitation and is not in order 
under clause 2, rule XXI. Under the precedents of the House, it is not 
competent for the House to amend the bill in the manner proposed because 
it is not in order for the House to instruct the committee to do what 
the House itself could not do.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I quote from the `Precedents of the House of 
Representatives':

       It is not in order to do indirectly by a motion to commit 
     with instructions what may not be done directly by way of 
     amendment. (Hinds': Vol. 5, paragraph 5529)

  ``Also, Mr. Speaker, a point of order was sustained on a motion to 
recommit with instructions because, and I quote:

       It is clear that the amendment offered by way of matter 
     contained in the motion to recommit * * * would not have been 
     in order if offered as an amendment * * * (Cannon's: Vol. 
     VIII, paragraph 2705)

  ``Mr. Speaker, the gentleman's motion to instruct includes a 
limitation not specifically contained or authorized in existing law and 
not considered in the Committee of the Whole pursuant to clause 2(d) of 
rule XXI.
  ``I ask for a ruling from the Chair.''.

  Mr. MYERS was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, it is clear that instructions may not propose 
legislation or unauthorized appropriations by way of an amendment. This 
is strictly a limiting period. On that issue, on August 1, 1989, Speaker 
Foley ruled that in the opinion of the Chair, ruling on this matter of 
first impression, that the clear language of clause 2(c), cited by the 
Chairman here, of rule XXI, prohibits limiting amendments from being 
contained in a motion to recommit since no limitation amendment was 
permitted by the Committee of the Whole under clause 2(d) of that rule.
  ``Here a number of limitation amendments have been considered and were 
passed and become part of the law. So clearly limitations have already 
become part of this law. Likewise, that consideration is past, we have 
already considered limitations, and this is just one more limitation 
which the rules clearly understand.
  ``Further, the Chair has ruled in the past, on January 11, 1934, that 
rules prohibiting certain amendments during consideration of a general 
appropriation bill would not distinguish them.
  ``But here limitations have already been passed. It is clear that this 
Chair has ruled on them. The Committee has accepted one or two. So the 
ruling on limitations has already been considered by this House and 
passed.''.
  Mr. WALKER was recognized to speak to the point of order, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, as the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Myers] has cited, 
the precedents on this will not hold in this instance where the 
Committee has in fact adopted funds limitation amendments.
  ``The gentleman from Virginia [Mr. Wolf] offered a funds limitation 
amendment. It was accepted by the House. It was exactly the same kind of 
fund limitation that the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Myers] now seeks to 
offer in the motion to recommit. It was a none of these funds amendment 
may be made available by this act.
  ``That is precisely what the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Myers] has in 
his motion to recommit. The Committee has decided to take such 
amendments in this particular bill. So, therefore, it is entirely in 
order for the gentleman from Indiana to offer such an amendment as a 
part of his motion to recommit.''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, sustained the point of order, 
and said:

  ``The Chair is prepared to rule. The gentleman from California [Mr. 
Roybal] correctly cites the ruling on page 600 of the manual as held by 
Speaker Foley on August 1 and 3, 1989. The point of order is sustained. 
The motion of the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Myers] is not in 
order.''.

  Mr. MYERS moved to recommit the bill to the Committee on 
Appropriations with instructions to report the bill back to the House 
forthwith with the following amendment:
       On page 76, line 20, strike ``or any successor 
     organization''.
  After debate,
  By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered on the motion 
to recommit with instructions.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House recommit said bill with instructions?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, announced that the nays had it.

[[Page 1317]]

  So the motion to recommit with instructions was not agreed to.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House pass said bill?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, announced that the nays had it.
  Mr. ROYBAL demanded a recorded vote on passage of said bill, which 
demand was supported by one-fifth of a quorum, so a recorded vote was 
ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device.

It was decided in the

     1992'' and inserting ``March 6, 1993''.
       (b) Weeks of Benefits Available During Extension.--
     Subparagraph (A) of section 102(b)(2) of such Act is amended 
     by striking clause (ii) and the flush paragraph at the end 
     thereof and inserting the following:
       ``(ii) Reduction for weeks after june 13, 1992.--In the

     period means a period which begins with the second week after 
     the first week for which the requirements of subclause (III) 
     are met.

     week if the average rate of total unemployment (seasonally 
     adjusted) for all States for the period consisting of the 
     most recent 2-calendar month period (for which data are 
     published before the close of such week) is at least 6.8

     published before the close of such week) is less than 6.8

     individual who is receiving emergency unemployment

     reduction applies under clause (ii), (iii), or (iv) of this 
     subparagraph, such reduction shall not apply to such 
     individual for the first week of such reduction or any week 
     thereafter for which the individual meets the eligibility 
     requirements of this Act.''

     section 102(f) of such Act is amended to read as follows:

     for any week thereafter for which the individual meets the 
     eligibility requirements of this Act. No compensation shall 
     be payable by reason of the preceding sentence for any week

       (2) Section 101(e) of such Act is amended--
       (A) by striking ``(e) Election.--Notwithstanding'' and 
     inserting:
       ``(e) Election by States; Weeks of Benefits During Phase-

       ``(1) Election by states.--Notwithstanding'',
       (B) by adding at the end of paragraph (1), as redesignated 
     by subparagraph (A), the following new sentence: ``The 
     preceding sentence shall not be applicable with respect to 
     any extended compensation period which begins after March 6, 
     1993, nor shall the special rule in section 203(b)(1)(B) of 
     the Federal-State Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 
     1970 (or the similar provision in any State law) operate to 
     preclude the beginning of an extended compensation period 
     after March 6, 1993, because of the ending of an earlier 
     extended compensation period under the preceding sentence.'', 
     and
       (C) by adding at the end thereof the following new 
     paragraph:
       ``(2) Weeks of benefits during phase-out.--Notwithstanding 
     subsection (b)(1)(B) or any other provision of law, whenever 
     an extended compensation period is beginning in a State (and 
     is not triggered off under paragraph (1)) an individual, who 
     is entitled to extended compensation in the new extended 
     compensation period (whether or not the individual applies 
     therefor) and also has remaining entitlement to emergency 
     unemployment compensation under this Act, shall be entitled 
     to compensation under the program in which the individual's 
     monetary entitlement (as of the beginning of the first week 
     of the extended compensation period) is the greater.''
       (e) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section 
     apply to weeks of unemployment beginning after June 13, 1992.

     subsection:
       ``(f) Certain Rights to Regular Compensation Disregarded.--
     If an individual exhausted his rights to regular compensation 
     for any benefit year, such individual's eligibility to 
     receive emergency unemployment compensation under this Act in 
     respect of such benefit year shall be determined without 
     regard to any rights to regular compensation for a subsequent 
     benefit year if such individual does not file a claim for 
     regular compensation for such subsequent benefit year.''
       (b) Effective Date.--
       (1) In general.--The amendment made by this section shall

       (a) In General.--So much of section 402 (relating to 
     taxability of beneficiary of employees' trust) as precedes 
     subsection (g) thereof is amended to read as follows:

     ``SEC. 402. TAXABILITY OF BENEFICIARY OF EMPLOYEES' TRUST.

       ``(a) Taxability of Beneficiary of Exempt Trust.--Except as 
     otherwise provided in this section, any amount actually 
     distributed to any distributee by any employees' trust 
     described in section 401(a) which is exempt from tax under 
     section 501(a) shall be taxable to the distributee, in the 
     taxable year of the distributee in which distributed, under 
     section 72 (relating to annuities).
       ``(b) Taxability of Beneficiary of Nonexempt Trust.--
       ``(1) Contributions.--Contributions to an employees' trust 
     made by an employer during a taxable year of the employer 
     which ends with or within a taxable year of the trust for 
     which the trust is not exempt from tax under section 501(a) 
     shall be included in the gross income of the employee in 
     accordance with section 83 (relating to property transferred 
     in connection with performance of services), except that the 
     value of the employee's interest in the trust shall be 
     substituted for the fair market value of the property for 
     purposes of applying such section.
       ``(2) Distributions.--The amount actually distributed or 
     made available to any distributee by any trust described in 
     paragraph (1) shall be taxable to the distributee, in the 
     taxable year in which so distributed or made available, under 
     section 72 (relating to annuities), except that distributions 
     of income of such trust before the annuity starting date (as 
     defined in section 72(c)(4)) shall be included in the gross 
     income of the employee without regard to section 72(e)(5) 
     (relating to amounts not received as annuities).

     in paragraph (1) shall not be considered the owner of any 
     portion of such trust under subpart E of part I of subchapter 
     J (relating to grantors and others treated as substantial 
     owners).
       ``(4) Failure to meet requirements of section 410(b).--
       ``(A) Highly compensated employees.--If 1 of the reasons a 
     trust is not exempt from tax under section 501(a) is the 
     failure of the plan of which it is a part to meet the 
     requirements of section 401(a)(26) or 410(b), then a highly 
     compensated employee shall, in lieu of the amount determined 
     under paragraph (1) or (2) include in gross income for the 
     taxable year with or within which the taxable year of the 
     trust ends an amount equal to the vested accrued benefit of 
     such employee (other than the employee's investment in the 
     contract) as of the close of such taxable year of the trust.
       ``(B) Failure to meet coverage tests.--If a trust is not 
     exempt from tax under section 501(a) for any taxable year 
     solely because such trust is part of a plan which fails to 
     meet the requirements of section 401(a)(26) or 410(b), 
     paragraphs (1) and (2) shall not apply by reason of such 
     failure to any employee who was not a highly compensated 
     employee during--
       ``(i) such taxable year, or

     received in such distribution to an eligible retirement plan, 
     and
       ``(C) in the case of a distribution of property other than 
     money, the amount so transferred consists of the property 
     distributed,

     not be includible in gross income for the taxable year in 
     which paid.
       ``(2) Maximum amount which may be rolled over.--In the case 
     of any eligible rollover distribution, the maximum amount 
     transferred to which paragraph (1) applies shall not exceed 
     the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross 
     income (determined without regard to paragraph (1)).

     required under section 401(a)(9).

     eligible retirement plan described in clause (i) or (ii) of 
     paragraph (8)(B) resulting in any portion of a distribution 
     being excluded from gross income under paragraph (1) shall be 
     treated as a rollover contribution described in section 
     408(d)(3).
       ``(6) Sales of distributed property.--For purposes of this 
     subsection--

     property treated as transfer of distributed property.--The

     excess of fair market value of property on sale over its fair 
     market value on distribution shall be treated as property 
     received in the distribution.

     rollover contribution.--In any case where part or all of the 
     distribution consists of property other than money--

     to be treated as attributable to amounts not included in 
     gross income, and
       ``(ii) the portion of the money or other property which is 
     to be treated as included in the rollover contribution,

     designates otherwise. Any designation under this subparagraph 
     for a taxable year shall be made not later than the time 
     prescribed by law for filing the return for such taxable year 
     (including extensions thereof). Any such designation, once 
     made, shall be irrevocable.

Para. 82.29  message from the president--health care liability reform

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. OWENS of New York, laid before the House 
a message from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  I am pleased to transmit today for your immediate consideration and 
enactment the ``Health Care Liability Reform and Quality of Care 
Improvement Act of 1992.'' Also transmitted is a section-by-section 
analysis.
  This legislative proposal would assist in stemming the rising costs of 
health care caused by medical professional liability. During recent 
years, the costs of defensive medical practice and of litigation related 
to health care disputes have had a substantial impact on the 
affordability and availability of quality medical care. The bill attacks 
these very serious problems.
  The bill would establish incentives for States to adopt within 3 years 
qual-

[[Page 1333]]

ity assurance measures and tort reforms. In addition, the health care 
reforms would apply to medical care and treatment funded through 
specific Federal programs pertaining to health care and employee 
benefits and to claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act. The tort 
reforms include: (1) a reasonable cap on noneconomic damages; (2) the 
elimination of joint and several liability for those damages; (3) 
prohibiting double recoveries by plaintiffs; and (4) permitting health 
care providers to pay damages for future costs periodically rather than 
in a lump sum.
  Last year I recommended enactment of the ``Health Care Liability 
Reform and Quality of Care Improvement Act of 1991.'' The enclosed bill 
includes the core provisions of that bill and expands its scope to 
ensure that treatment under federally funded health care and Federal 
employee benefit programs is subject to key reforms regardless of State 
action. Claims arising from such health care would first be considered 
through a fair system of nonbinding arbitration, in an effort to resolve 
the claims without litigation.
  I urge the prompt and favorable consideration of this proposal, which 
would complement the other initiatives the Administration is undertaking 
regarding malpractice and quality of care.
                                                          George Bush.  
  The White House, July 2, 1992. 

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee 
on Energy and Commerce and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 102-355).

Para. 82.30  message from the president--nuclear non-proliferation

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. OWENS of New York, laid before the House 
a message from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  I have reviewed the activities of the United States Government 
departments and agencies during calendar year 1991 related to preventing 
nuclear proliferation, and I am pleased to submit my annual report 
pursuant to section 601(a) of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of 1978 
(Public Law 95-242, 22 U.S.C. 3281(a)).
  As the report demonstrates, the United States continued its efforts 
during 1991 to prevent the spread of nuclear explosives to additional 
countries, one of my highest priorities. The events of the past year in 
Iraq and elsewhere underline the importance of these efforts to 
preserving our national security, by reducing the risk of war and 
increasing international stability. I am determined to build on the 
achievements discussed in this report and to work with the Congress 
toward our common goal: a safer and more secure future for all 
humankind.
                                                          George Bush.  
  The White House, July 2, 1992.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and ordered to 
be printed (H. Doc. 102-354).

Para. 82.31  further message from the senate

  So the resolution was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said resolution was agreed to 
was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.

Para. 84.8  trade expansion

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MONTGOMERY, pursuant to House Resolution 
510 and rule XXIII, declared the House resolved into the Committee of 
the Whole House on the state of the Union for the consideration of the 
bill (H.R. 5100) to strengthen the international trade position of the 
United States.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MONTGOMERY, by unanimous consent, 
designated Mr. VALENTINE as Chairman of the Committee of the Whole; and 
after some time spent therein,

Para. 84.9  recorded vote

  A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of 
the Whole on the following amendments en bloc submitted by Mr. GEPHARDT:

       Page 20, lines 4 and 5, strike out ``a trade agreement'' 
     and insert ``as promptly as practicable a comprehensive trade 
     agreement affecting the automotive sector (or, if appropriate 
     in order to achieve each of the objectives listed below, two 
     or more trade agreements)''.
       Page 20, line 25, strike out ``and''.
       Page 21, strike out lines 8 through 24, inclusive, and 
     insert the following:
       Japanese sources in the Japanese market; and
       (5) offsets any detrimental impact of the European 
     Community-Japan Automobile Agreement on the United States 
     motor vehicle industry by addressing, to the greatest extent 
     practicable, the problem of excess Japanese motor vehicle 
     manufacturing capacity and committing the Government of Japan 
     to effect annually a voluntary limitation of no more than 
     1.65 million units (which is the voluntary limitation for 
     that Government's fiscal year ending March 31, 1993) on the 
     export of Japanese motor vehicles to the United States for so 
     long as limitations are in effect under the European 
     Community-Japan Automobile Agreement regarding Japanese motor 
     vehicle exports to, and sales within, the European Community.
       (c) Reports.--
       (1) Status of negotiations reports.--The United States 
     Trade Representative shall submit to the Congress written 
     reports that describe the progress of the negotiations under 
     subsection (b). The first such report shall be submitted on 
     or before the 90th day after the date of the enactment of 
     this Act

[[Page 1341]]

     and reports shall be submitted thereafter on a 90-day basis 
     for so long as such negotiations are engaged in. The United 
     States Trade Representative shall include in such reports any 
     recommendation for action that the Trade Representative 
     considers appropriate to promote the international 
     competitive position of United States manufacturers.
       (2) Market access report.--The President shall direct the 
     appropriate agency in the executive branch to evaluate the 
     extent to which motor vehicle parts produced by United States 
     manufacturers are-
       (A) achieving market access in Japan; and
       (B) being utilized by motor vehicle manufacturers located 
     in the United States that are Japanese owned or controlled 
     (hereinafter in this section referred to as ``transplant 
     vehicle manufacturers'').

     The report required under this paragraph shall be submitted 
     to the Congress no later than the 180th day after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act.
       (d) Monitoring System.--
       (1) In general.--The President shall direct the appropriate 
     agency of the executive branch to develop and administer a 
     system for monitoring the implementation of the commitments 
     in the Action Plan, announced by the President of the United 
     States and the Prime Minister of Japan in Tokyo in January 
     1992, to achieve fair trade in motor vehicles and motor 
     vehicle parts, including the commitment in such Plan that 
     transplant vehicle manufacturers will increase their use of 
     motor vehicle parts produced by United States manufacturers 
     so that the United States parts content of motor vehicles 
     produced by transplant vehicle manufacturers will be at least 
     70 percent by the close of Japanese fiscal year 1994.
       (2) Exclusivity.--The monitoring system under paragraph (1) 
     shall be developed and administered notwithstanding the 
     carrying out of any negotiation, or the entering into of a 
     trade agreement under subsection (b) that might apply to--
       (A) the commitments referred to in paragraph (1); or
       (B) the monitoring of the implementation of such 
     commitments (unless, in the case of a trade agreement so 
     entered into, such agreement specifically provides for a 
     monitoring system that is at least equivalent to the system 
     provided for under this subsection, including the reporting 
     requirements under paragraph (4)).
       (3) System characteristics.--The monitoring system under 
     paragraph (1) shall include procedures for measuring the 
     United States parts content of motor vehicles (whether by 
     model, line, or class) produced by transplant vehicle 
     manufacturers. Such procedures shall be based on the 
     methodologies developed to measure the national content of 
     motor vehicles under the United States-Canada Free-Trade 
     Agreement or, if and when implemented, the methodologies 
     developed to measure the regional content of motor vehicles 
     under an agreement establishing a North American free trade 
     area.
       (4) Reports.--The United States agency that administers the 
     monitoring system required under this subsection shall submit 
     to the United States Trade Representative written reports on 
     the results of such monitoring, including an evaluation of 
     the progress being made, on a facility-by-facility basis, by 
     transplant vehicle manufacturers in meeting the commitment 
     referred to in paragraph (1) regarding increased United 
     States content. The first report required under this 
     paragraph shall be submitted on the 270th day after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, and an additional report 
     submitted on June 30 of each calendar year after 1993 and 
     before 2001. To be extent practicable, each such report shall 
     make evaluations regrading United States parts content as of 
     March 31 of the year the report is submitted. Such United 
     States agency shall also submit a copy of each report 
     prepared under this paragraph to the Congress and make copies 
     of each such report available to the public.
       (e) Enforcement.--
       (1) Determinations based on reports.--Within 30 days after 
     receiving any report under subsection (d) (or any monitoring 
     report provided under a trade agreement referred to in 
     paragraph (2)(B) of that subsection), the United States Trade 
     Representative shall determine whether each commitment that 
     is addressed in the report is being implemented.
       (2) Title iii treatment.--If the United States Trade 
     Representative determines under paragraph (1) that any 
     commitment referred to in subsection (d)(1) is not being 
     implemented, such failure to implement shall, for purposes of 
     title III of the Trade Act of 1974, be considered as an act, 
     practice, or policy that is unjustifiable and burdens or 
     restricts United States commerce. The United States Trade

  So the amendments en bloc were agreed to.
  After some further time,
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HOYER, assumed the Chair.
  When Mr. VALENTINE, Chairman, pursuant to House Resolution 510, 
reported the bill back to the House with an amendment adopted by the 
Committee.
  The previous question having been ordered by said resolution.
  The following amendment, reported from the Committee of the Whole 
House on the state of the Union, was agreed to:

       Page 20, lines 4 and 5, strike out ``a trade agreement'' 
     and insert ``as promptly as practicable a comprehensive trade 
     agreement affecting the automotive sector (or, if appropriate 
     in order to achieve each of the objectives listed below, two 
     or more trade agreements)''.
       Page 20, line 25, strike out ``and''.
       Page 21, strike out lines 8 through 24, inclusive, and 
     insert the following:
       Japanese sources in the Japanese market; and
       (5) offsets any detrimental impact of the European 
     Community-Japan Automobile Agreement on the United States 
     motor vehicle industry by addressing, to the greatest extent 
     practicable, the problem of excess Japanese motor vehicle 
     manufacturing capacity and committing the Government of Japan 
     to effect annually a voluntary limitation of no more than 
     1.65 million units (which is the voluntary limitation for 
     that Government's fiscal year ending March 31, 1993) on the 
     export of Japanese motor vehicles to the United States for so 
     long as limitations are in effect under the European 
     Community-Japan Automobile Agreement regarding Japanese motor 
     vehicle exports to, and sales within, the European Community.
       (c) Reports.--
       (1) Status of negotiations reports.--The United States 
     Trade Representative shall submit to the Congress written 
     reports that describe the progress of the negotiations under 
     subsection (b). The first such report shall be submitted on 
     or before the 90th day after the date of the enactment of 
     this Act and reports shall be submitted thereafter on a 90-
     day basis for so long as such negotiations are engaged in. 
     The United States Trade Representative shall include in such 
     reports any recommendation for action that the Trade 
     Representative considers appropriate to promote the 
     international competitive position of United States 
     manufacturers.
       (2) Market access report.--The President shall direct the 
     appropriate agency in the executive branch to evaluate the 
     extent to which motor vehicle parts produced by United States 
     manufacturers are-
       (A) achieving market access in Japan; and
       (B) being utilized by motor vehicle manufacturers located 
     in the United States that are Japanese owned or controlled 
     (hereinafter in this section referred to as ``transplant 
     vehicle manufacturers'').

     The report required under this paragraph shall be submitted 
     to the Congress no later than the 180th day after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act.
       (d) Monitoring System.--
       (1) In general.--The President shall direct the appropriate 
     agency of the executive branch to develop and administer a 
     system for monitoring the implementation of the commitments 
     in the Action Plan, announced by the President of the United 
     States and the Prime Minister of Japan in Tokyo in January 
     1992, to achieve fair trade in motor vehicles and motor 
     vehicle parts, including the commitment in such Plan that 
     transplant vehicle manufacturers will increase their use of 
     motor vehicle parts produced by United States manufacturers 
     so that the United States parts content of motor vehicles 
     produced by transplant vehicle manufacturers will be at least 
     70 percent by the close of Japanese fiscal year 1994.
       (2) Exclusivity.--The monitoring system under paragraph (1) 
     shall be developed and administered notwithstanding the 
     carrying out of any negotiation, or the entering into of a 
     trade agreement under subsection (b) that might apply to--
       (A) the commitments referred to in paragraph (1); or
       (B) the monitoring of the implementation of such 
     commitments (unless, in the case of a trade agreement so 
     entered into, such agreement specifically provides for a 
     monitoring system that is at least equivalent to the system 
     provided for under this subsection, including the reporting 
     requirements under paragraph (4)).
       (3) System characteristics.--The monitoring system under 
     paragraph (1) shall include procedures for measuring the 
     United States parts content of motor vehicles (whether by 
     model, line, or class) produced by transplant vehicle 
     manufacturers. Such procedures shall be based on the 
     methodologies developed to measure the national content of 
     motor vehicles under the United States-Canada Free-Trade 
     Agreement or, if and when implemented, the methodologies 
     developed to measure the regional content of motor vehicles 
     under an agreement establishing a North American free trade 
     area.
       (4) Reports.--The United States agency that administers the 
     monitoring system required under this subsection shall submit 
     to the United States Trade Representative written reports on 
     the results of such monitoring, including an evaluation of 
     the progress being made, on a facility-by-facility basis, by 
     transplant vehicle manufacturers in meeting the commitment 
     referred to in paragraph (1) regarding increased United 
     States content. The first report required under this 
     paragraph shall be submitted on the 270th day after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, and an additional report 
     submitted on June 30 of each calendar year after 1993 and 
     before 2001. To be extent practicable, each such report shall 
     make evaluations regrading United States parts content as of 
     March 31 of the year the report is submitted. Such United 
     States agency shall also submit a copy of each report 
     prepared under this paragraph to the Congress and make copies 
     of each such report available to the public.
       (e) Enforcement.--
       (1) Determinations based on reports.--Within 30 days after 
     receiving any report under subsection (d) (or any monitoring 
     report provided under a trade agreement referred to in 
     paragraph (2)(B) of that subsection), the United States Trade 
     Representative shall determine whether each commitment that 
     is addressed in the report is being implemented.
       (2) Title iii treatment.--If the United States Trade 
     Representative determines under paragraph (1) that any 
     commitment referred to in subsection (d)(1) is not being 
     implemented, such failure to implement shall, for purposes of 
     title III of the Trade Act of 1974, be considered as an act, 
     practice, or policy that is unjustifiable and burdens or 
     restricts United States commerce. The United States Trade 
     Representative shall immediately proceed to determine, in 
     accordance with section 3404(a)(1)(B) of such Act, what 
     action to take under section 301(a) of such Act in response 
     to such act, practice, or policy. In carrying out the 
     preceding sentence, the United States Trade Representative 
     shall take action under such section 301(a) against the 
     foreign goods or economic sector involved in the act, 
     practice, or policy that is the subject of such action, but 
     excluding goods produced by parent corporations of transplant 
     vehicle manufacturers that are in compliance with the 
     commitment referred to in subsection (d)(1) regarding 
     increased United States parts content.
       (f) Construction.--Nothing in this Act may be construed to 
     have the effect of--
       (1) terminating or limiting to any extent the production of 
     motor vehicles by transplant vehicle manufacturers; or
       (2) limiting or reducing jobs of United States workers at 
     the facilities of such manufacturers.
       (g) 5-Year Extension of Fair Trade in Auto Parts Act of 
     1988.--Section 2125 of the Fair Trade in Auto Parts Act of 
     1988 (15 U.S.C. 4704) is amended by striking out ``1993'' and 
     inserting ``1998''.

     year students attending postsecondary institutions attend 
     community or junior colleges, and because almost one-half of 
     minority students enrolled in higher education attend 2-year 
     institutions, community and junior colleges represent a 
     substantial and an important educational resource;
       ``(2) declining participation rates for low-income students 
     and minorities at institutions of higher education is of 
     growing concern to the higher education community and 
     Congress; and
       ``(3) there is growing awareness of the need to assist low-
     income, minority and other nontraditional students in 
     bridging the gap between 2-year to 4-year institutions, ena-

     year, the funds appropriated for payments under this subpart 
     are insufficient to satisfy fully all entitlements, as 
     calculated under subsection (b) (but at the maximum grant 
     level specified in such apprpriation), the Secretary shall 
     promptly transmit a notice of such insufficiency to each 
     House of the Congress, and identify in such notice the 
     additional amount that would be required to be appropriated 
     to satisfy fully all entitlements (as so calculated at such

     Americans, Native American Pacific Islanders (including 
     Native Hawaiians), are represented as readers of applications

     months prior to the expiration of the grant or contract. The

     that the start-up date for a new grant or contract for such 
     program immediately

     that no interruption of funding occurs for such successful 
     reapplicants. The Secretary shall inform each entity

     regarding the status of their application at least 8 months 
     prior to the proposed startup date of such program.

     disadvantaged students operated by the sponsoring institution 
     or agency, regardless of the funding source of such programs.

     receive funds under this chapter because such entity sponsors 
     a program similar to the program to be assisted under this 
     chapter, regardless of the funding source of such program.

     administer a program funded under this chapter if the

     and additional staff to review applications, to increase the

     amount does not include amounts of outstanding loans 
     transferred to the guaranty agency from another guaranty 
     agency pursuant to a plan of the Secretary in response to the 
     insolvency of the latter such guaranty agency. The minimum 
     reserve level shall increase to--

     the Secretary determines that the administrative or financial 
     condition of a guaranty agency jeopardizes such agency's 
     continued ability to perform its responsibilities under its 
     guaranty agreement, then the Secretary shall require the 
     guaranty agency to submit and implement a management plan 
     acceptable to the Secretary within 30 working days of any 
     such event.

     borrowers who do not qualify for Federal interest subsidy 
     payments under section 428 of this Act. Except as provided in 
     this section, all terms and conditions for Federal Stafford 
     loans established under section 428 shall apply to loans made 
     pursuant to this section.
       ``(b) Eligible Borrowers.--Any student meeting the 
     requirements for student eligibility under section 484 shall 
     be entitled to borrow an unsubsidized Stafford loan. Such 
     student shall provide to the lender a statement from the 
     eligible institution at which the student has been accepted 
     for enrollment, or at which the student is in attendance, 
     which--
       ``(1) sets forth such student's estimated cost of 
     attendance (as determined under section 472);

     loan under this section and the amount of the loan for which 
     such student is eligible, in accordance with subsection (c).
       ``(c) Determination of Amount of Loan.--The determination 
     of the amount of a loan by an eligible institution under 
     subsection (b) shall be calculated by subtracting from the 
     estimated cost of attendance at the eligible institution any 
     estimated financial assistance reasonably available to such 
     student. An eligible institution may not, in carrying out the 
     provisions of subsection (b) of this section, provide a 
     statement which certifies the eligibility of any student to 
     receive any loan under this section in excess of the amount 
     calculated under the preceding sentence.
       ``(d) Loan Limits.--The annual and aggregate limits for 
     loans under this section shall be the same as those 
     established under section 428(b)(1), less any amount received 
     by such student pursuant to the subsidized loan program 
     established under section 428.
       ``(e) Payment of Principal and Interest.--
       ``(1) Commencement of repayment.--Repayment of principal on 
     loans made under this section shall commence 6 months after 
     the month in which the student ceases to carry at least one-
     half the normal full-time workload as determined by the 
     institution.
       ``(2) Capitalization of interest.--Interest on loans made 
     under this section for which payments of principal are not 
     required during the in-school and grace periods or for which 
     payments are deferred under sections 427(a)(2)(C) and 
     428(b)(1)(M) shall, if agreed upon by the borrower and the 
     lender (A) be paid monthly or quarterly, or (B) be added to 
     the principal amount of the loan not more frequently than 
     quarterly by the lender. Such capitalization of interest 
     shall not be deemed to exceed the annual insurable limit on 
     account of the student.
       ``(3) Subsidies prohibited.--No payments to reduce interest 
     costs shall be paid pursuant to section 428(a) of this part 
     on loans made pursuant to this section.
       ``(4) Applicable rates of interest.--Interest on loans made 
     pursuant to this section shall be at the applicable rate of 
     interest provided in section 427A(e).
       ``(f) Insurance Premium.--
       ``(1) Amount of origination fee/insurance premium.--The 
     lender shall charge the borrower a combined origination fee 
     and insurance premium in the amount of 6.5 percent of the 
     principal amount of the loan, to be deducted proportionately 
     from each installment payment of the proceeds of the loan 
     prior to payment to the borrower. A guaranty agency may not 
     charge an insurance premium on any loan made under this 
     section.
       ``(2) Relation to applicable interest.--Such combined fee 
     and premium shall not be taken into account for purposes of 
     determining compliance with section 427A.
       ``(3) Disclosure required.--The lender shall disclose to 
     the borrower the amount and method of calculating the 
     combined origination fee and insurance premium.
       ``(4) Use of insurance premium to offset default costs.--
     Each lender making loans under this section shall transmit 
     all combined origination fee and insurance premiums 
     authorized to be collected from borrowers to the Secretary, 
     who shall use such fees and premiums to pay the Federal costs 
     of default claims paid for loans under this section and to 
     reduce the cost of special allowances paid thereon, if any, 
     under section 438(b).
       ``(5) Review of insurance premium.--In fiscal year 1995, 
     the Secretary is directed to analyze the risk rates of 
     borrowers who have participated in this program in the 2 
     previous fiscal years. If the Secretary finds, that as a 
     result of this review, the projected defaults and special 
     allowance costs of the unsubsidized program do not exceed the 
     6.5 percent insurance premium, the Secretary is directed to 
     lower the insurance premium accordingly.
       ``(g) Single Application Form and Loan Repayment 
     Schedule.--A guaranty agency shall use a single application 
     form and a single repayment schedule for subsidized Federal 
     Stafford loans made pursuant to section 428 and for 
     unsubsidized Federal Stafford loans made pursuant to this 
     section.

     eligible lender, servicer, or guaranty agency has a 
     compliance performance rating that equals or exceeds 97 
     percent, the Secretary shall designate the eligible lender, 
     servicer, or guaranty agency, as the case may be, for

     less than 97 percent of all due diligence requirements 
     applicable to each loan, on average, as established by the 
     Secretary for the purpose of this section, for 2 consecutive 
     months or 90 percent for 1 month.

     General and the Secretary. The standards shall measure the

     which 30 or more current and former students at the

     attributed to each school for attendance at which the student 
     received a loan that entered repayment in the fiscal year.
       ``(B) A loan on which a payment is made by the school, such 
     school's owner, agent, contractor, employee, or any other 
     entity or individual affiliated with such school, in order to 
     avoid default by the borrower, is considered as in default

     in a course of study leading to a degree or certificate at an 
     eligible institution on at least a half-time basis (as 
     determined by the institution) and ceased to be in a period 
     of forbearance based on such enrollment. Each eligible lender 
     of a loan made under section 428A shall provide the guaranty 
     agency with the information necessary to determine when the 
     loan entered repayment for purposes of this subsection, and 
     the guaranty agency shall provide such information to the 
     Secretary.
       ``(3) Regulations to prevent evasions.--The Secretary shall 
     prescribe regulations designed to prevent an institution from 
     evading the application to that institution of a default rate 
     determination under this subsection through the use of such 
     measures as branching, consolidation, change of ownership or

     entered repayment in the award year.

     prevent an institution from evading the application to that 
     institution of a default rate determination under this

     age 40, as updated, by one-fifteenth for each year of age 
     below age 40 and rounding the result to the nearest $100. In 
     making such determinations--

       ``(2) the rate of return of an annuity shall be presumed to 
     be 8 percent; and

     the Federal Register a revised table of assessments from 
     adjusted available income for the purpose of sections 475(e) 
     and 477(d). Such revised table shall be developed--
       ``(1) by increasing each dollar amount that refers to 
     adjusted available income by a percentage equal to the 
     estimated percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (as 
     determined by the Secretary) between December 1992 and the 
     December next preceding the beginning of such academic year, 
     rounded to the nearest $100; and
       ``(2) by adjusting the other dollar amounts to reflect the 
     changes made pursuant to paragraph (1).
       ``(f) Definition of Consumer Price Index.--As used in this 
     section, the term `Consumer Price Index' means the Consumer 
     Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the 
     Department of Labor. Each annual update of tables to reflect 
     changes in the Consumer Price Index shall be corrected for 
     misestimation of actual changes in such Index in previous 
     years.

     allowances for the purpose of sections 475(c)(2), 475(g)(3), 
     476(b)(2), and 477(b)(2). The Secretary shall develop such 
     revised table after review of the Department of the 
     Treasury's Statistics of Income file and determination of the 
     percentage of income that each State's taxes represent.
       ``(h) Employment Expense Allowance.--For each award year 
     after award year 1992-1993, the Secretary shall publish in 
     the Federal Register a revised table of employment expense 
     allowances for the purpose of sections 475(c)(5), 476(b)(4), 
     and 477(b)(5). Such revised table shall be developed by 
     increasing the dollar amount specified in sections 
     475(c)(5)(A), 475(c)(5)(B), 476(b)(4)(A), 476(b)(4)(B), 
     477(b)(5)(A), and 477(b)(5)(B) to reflect increases in the 
     amount and percent of the Bureau of Labor Standards budget of 
     the marginal costs for meals away from home, apparel and 
     upkeep, transportation, and housekeeping services for a two-
     worker versus one-worker family.

                   ADMINISTRATORS.

     interpreted as limiting the authority of the financial aid 
     administrator, on the basis of adequate documentation, to 
     make adjustments on a case-by-case basis to the cost of 
     attendance or the values of the data items required to 
     calculate the expected student or parent contribution (or 
     both) to allow for treatment of an individual eligible 
     applicant with special circumstances. However, this authority 
     shall not be construed to permit aid administrators to 
     deviate from the contributions expected in the absence of 
     special circumstances. Special circumstances shall be 
     conditions that differentiate an individual student from a 
     class of students rather than conditions that exist across a 
     class of students. Adequate documentation for such 
     adjustments shall substantiate such special circumstances of 
     individual students. In addition, nothing in this title shall 
     be interpreted as limiting the authority of the student 
     financial aid administrator in such cases to request and use 
     supplementary information about the financial status or 
     personal circumstances of eligible applicants in selecting 
     recipients and determining the amount of awards under this 
     title. No student or parent shall be charged a fee for 
     collecting, processing, or delivering such supplementary 
     information.
       ``(b) Adjustments to Assest Taken Into Account.--A student 
     financial aid administrator shall be considered to be making 
     a necessary adjustment in accordance with subsection (a) if--
       ``(1) the administrator makes adjustments excluding from 
     family income any proceeds of a sale of farm or business 
     assets of a family if such sale results from a voluntary or 
     involuntary foreclosure, forfeiture, or bankruptcy or an 
     involuntary liquidation; or
       ``(2) the administrator makes adjustments in the award 
     level of a student with a disability so as to take into 
     consideration the additional costs such student incurs as a 
     result of such student's disability.

     such section and subsection (a) and inserting the following:

     ``SEC. 481. DEFINITIONS.

       ``(a) Institution of Higher Education.--(1) Subject to 
     paragraphs (2) through (4) of this subsection, the term 
     `institution of higher education' for purposes of this title 
     includes, in addition to the institutions covered by the

     under paragraph (1)(C) of this subsection, the Secretary 
     shall establish criteria by regulation for the approval of 
     institutions outside the United States and for the 
     determination that such institutions are comparable to an 
     institution of higher education as defined in section 
     1201(a). In the case of a graduate medical school outside the 
     United States, such criteria shall include a requirement that 
     a student attending a graduate medical school outside the 
     United States is ineligible for loans made, insured, or 
     guaranteed under part B of this title unless--

     approved by a State as of January 1, 1992.

     eligible to receive a loan under part B while attending such 
     institution for the academic year succeeding the academic 
     year in which such loss of eligibility occurred.

     definition of an an institution of higher education in

     with representatives of agencies and organizations involved 
     in student financial assistance, shall produce, distribute, 
     and process free of charge a common financial reporting form 
     to be used to determine the need and eligibility of a student 
     for financial assistance under parts A, C, D, and E of this 
     title (other than under subpart 4 of part A) and to determine 
     the need of a student for the purpose of part B of this 
     title. The Secretary may include on the form developed 
     pursuant to this paragraph not more than eight nonfinancial 
     data items selected in consultation with the States to assist 
     the States in awarding State student financial assistance. 
     Such form shall satisfy the requirements of section 411(d) of 
     this title. For the purpose of collecting eligibility and 
     other data for the purpose of part B, the Secretary shall 
     develop a separate, identifiable loan application document 
     (pursuant to section 432(m)) that applicants or institutions 
     in which the students are enrolled or accepted for enrollment 
     shall submit directly to eligible lenders and on which the

     such form. The need and eligibility of a student for 
     financial assistance under parts A, C, D, and E of this title 
     (other than under subpart 4 of part A) and the need of a 
     student for the purpose of part B of this title, may only be

[[Page 1390]]

     (1) of this subsection. No student may receive assistance 
     under parts A, C, D, and E of this title (other than under 
     subpart 4 of part A) or have the student's need established 
     for the purpose of part B of this title, except by use of the

       ``(3) Distribution of data.--Institutions of higher 
     education and States shall receive, without charge, the data 
     collected by the Secretary using the form developed pursuant 
     to this section for the purposes of determining need and 
     eligibility for institutional and State financial aid awards.
       ``(4) Contracts for collection and processing.--(A) The 
     Secretary shall, to the extent practicable, enter into not 
     less than 5 contracts with States, institutions of higher 
     education, or private organizations for the purposes of the 
     timely collection and processing of the form developed 
     pursuant to paragraph (1) and the timely delivery of the data 
     submitted on such form. The Secretary shall use such 
     contracts to assist States and institutions of higher 
     education with the collection of additional data required to 
     award State or institutional financial assistance, except 
     that the Secretary shall not include these additional data 
     items on the common financial reporting form developed 
     pursuant to this section. The Secretary shall include in each 
     such contract a requirement that--
       ``(i) any charges by the contractor to the student or 
     parent for additional data items required by a State or 
     institution for any purpose (regardless of the method of 
     collection) shall be reasonable and shall not exceed the 
     marginal cost of collecting, processing, and delivering such 
     additional data, taking into account any payment received by 
     the contractor to produce, distribute, and process the common 
     financial reporting form prescribed by the Secretary pursuant 
     to paragraph (1); and
       ``(ii) the contractor will require any person or entity to 
     whom the contractor provides such additional data to agree 
     not to collect from any student or parent any charge that 
     would not be permitted under this subparagraph for any such 
     additional data.

     the contracts under this paragraph, the Secretary shall 
     require all entities competing for such contracts to comply 
     with all requirements of this subsection and to--
       ``(i) use the common financial reporting form as prescribed 
     in paragraph (1), which shall be clearly identified as the 
     `Free Application for Federal Student Aid'; and
       ``(ii) use a common, simplified reapplication form as the 
     Secretary shall prescribe pursuant to subsection (b), in each 
     award year.
       ``(D) The Secretary shall reimburse all approved 
     contractors at a reasonable predetermined rate for processing 
     such applications, for issuing eligibility reports, and for 
     carrying out other services or requirements that may be 
     prescribed by the Secretary.
       ``(E) All approved contractors shall be required to adhere 
     to all editing, processing, and reporting requirements 
     established by the Secretary to ensure consistency.
       ``(F) No approved contractor shall enter into exclusive 
     arrangements with guarantors, lenders, secondary markets, or 
     institutions of higher education for the purpose of reselling 
     or sharing of data collected for the multiple data entry 
     process. All data collected under a contract issued by the 
     Secretary pursuant to this paragraph for the multiple data 
     entry process is the exclusive property of the Secretary and 
     may not be transferred to a third party by an approved 
     contractor without the Secretary's express written approval.
       ``(b) Streamlined Reapplication Process.--(1) The Secretary 
     shall, within 240 days after the date of enactment of the 
     Higher Education Amendments of 1992, develop a streamlined 
     reapplication form and process, including electronic 
     reapplication process, consistent with the requirements of 
     subsection (a), for those recipients who apply for financial 
     aid funds under this title in the next succeeding academic 
     year subsequent to the initial year in which such recipients 
     apply.
       ``(2) The Secretary shall develop appropriate mechanisms to 
     support reapplication.
       ``(3) The Secretary shall determine, in cooperation with 
     States, institutions of higher education, agencies and 
     organizations involved in student financial assistance, the 
     data elements that can be updated from the previous academic 
     year's application.
       ``(4) Nothing in this title shall be interpreted as 
     limiting the authority of the Secretary to reduce the number 
     of data elements required of reapplicants.
       ``(5) Individuals determined to have a zero family 
     contribution pursuant to section 479 shall not be required to 
     provide any financial data, except that which is necessary to 
     determine eligibility under that section.''.

     specific instructions on completing the application form for 
     assistance under this title. Such service shall also include 
     a service accessible by telecommunications devices for the 
     deaf (TDD's) and shall, in addition to the services provided 
     for in the previous sentence, refer such students to the 
     national clearinghouse on postsecondary education that is 
     authorized under section 633(c) of the Individuals with 
     Disabilities Education Act.''; and
       (3) by adding at the end the following new subsections:

     following conditions:
       ``(1) Except as provided in paragraphs (2) and (3), an 
     institution shall not deny, reduce, delay, or terminate a

     social security number provided to an eligible institution by 
     a student is incorrect, the institution shall deny or 
     terminate the student's eligibility for any grant, loan, or 
     work assistance under this 
     title until such time as the student provides a correct 
     social security number.

     social security number provided to an eligible institution by 
     a student is incorrect, and a correct social security number

     guaranteed for such student under part B of this title, the 
     institution shall notify and instruct the lender and guaranty 
     agency making and guaranteeing the loan, respectively, to 
     cease further disbursements of the loan, but such guaranty

     a result of fraud on the part of the institution; or
       ``(B) any student with respect to any error in a social 
     security number, unless such error was a result of fraud on 
     the part of the student.''.

     shall be considered to be fair and equitable for purposes of 
     this section if that policy provides for a refund in an

     into the number of weeks remaining in that period as of the 
     last recorded day of attendance by the student;
       ``(B) in the case of a program that is measured in clock 
     hours, by dividing the total number of clock hours comprising

     completed by the student in that period as of the last 
     recorded day of attendance by the student; and

     under this title based on its own findings or the findings of 
     a Federal entity in accordance with the following procedures:
       ``(1) State findings.--If the appropriate State 
     postsecondary review entity finds that an institution of 
     higher education does not meet one or more of the standards 
     in subsection (d) of this section, such State postsecondary 
     review entity shall notify the Secretary of its findings and 
     the actions that such entity is taking, or has taken, in 
     response to such findings within a time period prescribed by 
     the Secretary by regulation. If a State postsecondary review 
     entity determines an institution of higher education shall 
     not be eligible for participation in programs under this 
     title, such State postsecondary review entity shall so notify 
     the Secretary. Upon receipt of such notification of 
     ineligibility, the Secretary shall immediately terminate the 
     participation of such institutions in the programs authorized 
     by this title.
       ``(2) Secretary's findings.--If the Secretary or an other 
     Federal entity takes, or plans to take, any action against 
     any institution of higher education (including any actions 
     taken under section 487), the Secretary shall notify the 
     appropriate State postsecondary review entity (or entities, 
     in the case of multi-State institutions) of such action 
     within a time period prescribed in the Secretary's 
     regulations.
       ``(3) Procedural protections for disapproval.--The 
     Secretary shall, by regulation, prescribe minimum procedural 
     standards for the disapproval of institutions of higher 
     education by the appropriate State postsecondary review 
     entity or entities for purposes of this title.
       ``(i) Limit on State Postsecondary Review Agency 
     Functions.--The functions of State postsecondary review 
     entity shall not include performing financial and compliance 
     audits as may be required under sections 428 or 487 of this 
     Act.
       ``(j) Consumer Complaints.--A State, in consultation with 
     the institutions of higher education in the State, shall 
     establish and publicize the availability of procedures for 
     receiving and responding to complaints from students, 
     faculty, and others about institutions of higher education 
     and shall keep records of such complaints in order to 
     determine their frequency and nature for specific 
     institutions of higher education.
       ``(k) Enforcement Mechanisms.--Nothing in this subpart 
     shall restrict the authority of the States to establish 
     mechanisms to enforce the standards established under 
     subsection (d) or require the States to establish specific 
     mechanisms recommended by the Secretary.

       ``(a) Standards Required.--No accrediting agency or 
     association may be determined by the Secretary to be a 
     reliable authority as to the quality of education or training 
     offered for the purposes of this Act or for other Federal 
     purposes, unless the agency or association meets standards 
     established by the Secretary pursuant to this section. The 
     Secretary shall, after notice and opportunity for a hearing, 
     establish standards for such determinations. Such standards 
     shall include an appropriate measure or measures of student 
     achievement. Such standards shall require that--

     that such agency or association is separate and independent, 
     both administratively and financially of any related,

     or association may be approved by the Secretary for the 
     purpose of this title, unless the agency or association--
       ``(1) performs, at regularly established intervals, on-site 
     inspections and reviews of institutions of higher education 
     (at least one of which inspections at each institution that 
     provides vocational education and training shall be

     association may be approved by the Secretary for the purpose 
     of this Act for a period of more than 5 years.
       ``(e) Initial Arbitration Rule.--The Secretary may not 
     recognize the accreditation of any institution of higher 
     education unless the institution of higher education agrees 
     to submit any dispute involving the final denial, withdrawal, 
     or termination of accreditation to initial arbitration prior 
     to any other legal action.
       ``(f) Jurisdiction.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, any civil action brought by an institution of higher 
     education seeking accreditation from, or accredited by, an 
     accrediting agency or association approved by the Secretary 
     for the purpose of this title and involving the denial, 
     withdrawal, or termination of accreditation of the 
     institution of higher education, shall be brought in the 
     appropriate United States district court.
       ``(g) Limitation on Scope of Standards.--Nothing in this 
     Act shall be construed to permit the Secretary to establish 
     standards for accrediting agencies or associations that are 
     not required by this section. Nothing in this Act shall be 
     construed to prohibit or limit any accrediting agency or 
     association from adopting additional standards not provided 
     for in this section.
       ``(h) Change of Accrediting Agency.--The Secretary shall 
     not recognize the accreditation of any otherwise eligible 
     institution of 
     higher education if the institution of higher education is in 
     the process of changing its accrediting agency or 
     association, unless the eligible institution submits to the 
     Secretary all materials relating to the prior accreditation, 
     including materials demonstrating reasonable cause for 
     changing the accrediting agency or association.
       ``(i) Dual Accreditation Rule.--The Secretary shall not 
     recognize the accreditation of any otherwise eligible 
     institution of higher education if the institution of higher 
     education is accredited, as an institution, by more than one 
     accrediting agency or association, unless the institution 
     submits to each such agency and association and to the 
     Secretary the reasons for accreditation by more than one such 
     agency or association and demonstrates to the Secretary 
     reasonable cause for its accreditation by more than one 
     agency or association. If the institution is accredited, as 
     an institution, by more than one accrediting agency or 
     association, the institution shall designate which agency's 
     accreditation shall be utilized in determining the 
     institution's eligibility for programs under this Act.
       ``(j) Impact of Loss of Accreditation.--An institution may 
     not be certified or recertified as an institution of higher 
     education under section 481 and subpart 3 of this part or 
     participate in any of the other programs authorized by this 
     Act if such institution--
       ``(1) is not currently accredited by any agency or 
     association recognized by the Secretary;
       ``(2) has had its accreditation withdrawn, revoked, or 
     otherwise terminated for cause during the preceding 24 
     months, unless such withdrawal, revocation, or termination 
     has been rescinded by the same accrediting agency; or
       ``(3) has withdrawn from accreditation voluntarily under a 
     show cause or suspension order during the preceding 24 
     months, unless such order has been rescinded by the same 
     accrediting agency.
       ``(k) Religious Institution Rule.--Notwithstanding 
     subsection (j), the Secretary shall allow an institution that 
     has had its accreditation withdrawn, revoked, or otherwise 
     terminated, or has voluntarily withdrawn from an 
     accreditation agency, to remain certified as an institution 
     of higher education under section 481 and subpart 3 of this 
     part for a period sufficient to allow such institution to 
     obtain alternative accreditation, if the Secretary determines 
     that the reason for the withdrawal, revocation, or 
     termination--
       ``(1) is related to the religious mission or affiliation of 
     the institution; and
       ``(2) is not related to the accreditation standards 
     provided for in this section.
       ``(l) Limitation, Suspension or Termination of Approval.--
     (1) The Secretary shall limit, suspend, or terminate the 
     approval of an accrediting agency or association if the 
     Secretary determines, after notice and opportunity for a 
     hearing, that the accrediting agency or association has 
     failed to apply effectively the standards or operate 
     according to the procedures provided in this section.
       ``(2) The Secretary may determine that an accrediting 
     agency or association has failed to apply effectively the 
     standards provided in this section if an institutution of 
     higher education seeks and receives accreditation from the 
     accrediting agency or association during any period in which 
     the institution is the subject of any interim action by 
     another accrediting agency or association leading to the 
     suspension, revocation, or termination of accreditation or 
     the institution has been notified of the threatened loss of 
     accreditation, and the due process procedures required by 
     such suspension, revocation, termination, or threatened loss 
     have not been completed.
       ``(m) Limitation on the Secretary's Authority.--The 
     Secretary may only recognize accrediting agencies or 
     associations which accredit institutions of higher education 
     for the purpose of enabling such institutions to establish 
     eligibility to participate in the programs under this Act or 
     which accredit institutions of higher education or higher 
     education programs for the purpose of enabling them to 
     establish eligibility to participate in other programs 
     administered by the Department of Education or other Federal 
     agencies.
       ``(n) Independent Evaluation.--(1) The Secretary shall 
     conduct a comprehensive review and evaluation of the 
     performance of all accrediting agencies or associations which 
     seek recognition by the Secretary in order to determine 
     whether such accrediting agencies or associations meet the 
     standards established by this section. The Secretary shall 
     conduct an independent evaluation of the information provided 
     by such agency or association. Such evaluation shall 
     include--
       ``(A) the solicitation of third-party information 
     concerning the performance of the accrediting agency or 
     association; and
       ``(B) site visits at both the accrediting agency or 
     association and member institutions, including unannounced 
     visits where appropriate.
       ``(2) The Secretary shall place a priority for review of 
     accrediting agencies or associations on those agencies or 
     associations that accredit institutions of higher education 
     that participate most extensively in the programs authorized 
     by this title and on those agencies or associations which 
     have been the subject of the most complaints or legal 
     actions.
       ``(3) The Secretary shall consider all available relevant 
     information concerning the compliance of the accrediting 
     agency or association with the standards provided for in this 
     section, including any complaints or legal actions against 
     such agency or association. In cases where deficiencies in 
     the performance of an accreditation agency or association 
     with respect to the requirements of this section are noted, 
     the Secretary shall take these deficiencies into account in 
     the approval process. The Secretary shall not, under any 
     circumstances, base decisions on the approval or disapproval 
     of accreditation agencies or associations on standards other 
     than those contained in this section.
       ``(4) The Secretary shall maintain sufficient documentation 
     to support the conclusions reached in the approval process, 
     and, upon disapproval of any accreditation agency or 
     association, shall make publicly available the reason for 
     such disapproval, including reference to the specific 
     standards under this section which have not been fulfilled.
       ``(o) Regulations.--The Secretary shall by regulation 
     provide procedures for the recognition of accrediting 
     agencies or associations and for the appeal of the 
     Secretary's decisions.

     met the standards of financial responsibility provided for in

     certified financial statement of the institution. Such audit 
     shall be conducted by a qualified independent organization or 
     person in accordance with standards established by the 
     American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Such 
     statement shall be submitted to the Secretary at the time 
     such institution is considered for certification or 
     recertification under this section. If the institution is 
     permitted to be certified (provisionally or otherwise) and 
     such audit does not establish compliance with paragraph (2), 
     the Secretary may require that additional audits be 
     submitted.

 ``Subpart 2--Alternative Routes to Teacher Certification and Licensure

     ``SEC. 552. SHORT TITLE.

       ``This subpart may be cited as the `Alternative Routes to 
     Teacher Certification and Licensure Act of 1992'.

     ``SEC. 553. FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) effective elementary and secondary schools require 
     competent teachers and strong leadership;
       ``(2) school systems would benefit greatly by increasing 
     the pool of qualified individuals from which to recruit 
     teachers;
       ``(3) many talented professionals who have demonstrated a 
     high level of subject area competence outside the education 
     profession may wish to pursue careers in education, but have 
     not fulfilled the requirements to be certified or licensed as 
     teachers;
       ``(4) alternative routes can enable qualified individuals 
     to fulfill State certification or licensure requirements and 
     would allow school systems to utilize the expertise of such 
     professionals and improve the pool of qualified individuals 
     available to local educational agencies as teachers; and
       ``(5) alternative routes to certification or licensure 
     requirements that do not exclude qualified individuals from 
     teaching solely because such individuals do not meet 
     traditional certification or licensure requirements would 
     allow school systems to take advantage of these professionals 
     and improve the supply of well-qualified teachers.

     ``SEC. 554. PURPOSE.

       ``It is the purpose of this subpart to improve the supply 
     of well-qualified elementary and secondary school teachers by 
     encouraging and assisting States to develop and implement 
     programs for alternative routes to teacher certification or 
     licensure requirements. Such programs shall place special 
     emphasis on the participation of individuals who are members 
     of minority groups.

     education have expanded dramatically, while at the same time 
     traditional sources of funding facilities maintenance and 
     repair have declined and even disappeared in some instances;

     students, resulting mainly from inflation and the higher 
     costs of research, many colleges and universities made the 
     choice to defer renovations and improvements;
       ``(3) overall, the need for capital investment by 
     institutions of higher education has been estimated to exceed 
     $60,000,000,000;
       ``(4) the deterioration of facilities has caused valuable 
     research experiments and programs to be postponed, delayed or 
     canceled; and
       ``(5) the United States' competitive position within the 
     world economy is vulnerable if the necessary research

                   FINANCING.

     amended to read as follows:

 ``PART B--HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY CAPITAL FINANCING

     ``SEC. 721. FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) a significant part of the Federal mission in 
     education has been to attain equal opportunity in higher 
     education for low-income, educationally disadvantaged 
     Americans and African Americans;
       ``(2) the Nation's historically Black colleges and 
     universities have played a prominent role in American history 
     and have an unparalleled record of fostering the development 
     of African American youth by recognizing their potential, 
     enhancing their academic and technical skills, and honing 
     their social and political skills through higher education;
       ``(3) the academic and residential facilities on the 
     campuses of all historically Black colleges and universities 
     have suffered from neglect, deferred maintenance and are in 
     need of capital improvements in order to provide appropriate 
     settings for learning and social development through higher 
     education;
       ``(4) due to their small enrollments, limited endowments 
     and other financial factors normally considered by lenders in 
     construction financing, historically Black colleges and 
     universities often lack access to the sources of funding 
     necessary to undertake the necessary capital improvements 
     through borrowing and bond financing;
       ``(5) despite their track record of long-standing and 
     remarkable institutional longevity and viability, 
     historically Black colleges and universities often lack the 
     financial resources necessary to gain access to traditional 
     sources of capital financing such as bank loans and bond 
     financing; and
       ``(6) Federal assistance to facilitate low-cost capital 
     basis for historically Black colleges and universities will 
     enable such colleges and universities to continue and expand 
     their educational mission and enhance their significant role 
     in American higher education.

     prevailing on the same type of work on similar construction

     institutions of higher education to enable such institutions 
     to make grants in accordance with the provisions of this

     higher education to enable such institutions to make awards 
     for master's level and professional study; and
       ``(B) 50 percent of such amount to award grants to such 
     institutions to enable such institutions to make awards for 
     doctoral study.

       ``(1) Equitable distribution.--In making such grants the 
     Secretary shall, to the maximum extent feasible, ensure an 
     equitable geographic distribution of awards and an equitable

     an institution of higher education is unable to use all of 
     the amounts available to it under this part, the Secretary 
     shall, on such dates during each fiscal year as the Secretary 
     may fix, reallot such amounts not needed to institutions 
     which can use the grants authorized by this part.

     education offering a program of postbaccalaureate study 
     leading to a master's level, professional, or doctoral degree

     such groups which have been traditionally underrepresented in 
     professional and academic careers requiring master's level, 
     professional, or doctoral degrees, but nothing contained in 
     this paragraph shall be interpreted to require any 
     institution to grant preference or disparate treatment to the 
     members of one minority group on account of an imbalance 
     which may exist with respect to the total number or 
     percentage of individuals of such group participating in or 
     receiving the benefits of the program authorized in this 
     section, in comparison with the total number or percentage of 
     individuals of such group in any community, State, section,

     providing students with access to careers in which women and 
     minority groups are underrepresented.
       ``(e) Priorities for Fellowships.--The Secretary shall 
     assure that, in making grants under this part, a priority for 
     awards is accorded to--
       ``(1) individuals from minority groups and women who are 
     pursuing master's level or professional study in fields in

     addition to stipends paid to individuals under this part) pay 
     to the institution of higher education, for each individual 
     awarded a fellowship under this part at such institution, 
     $9,000 with respect to such awards made for the academic year 
     1993-1994, to be adjusted annually thereafter in accordance

     undertake master's level, professional, and doctoral study as 
     described in this part. In the case of an individual who

     academic year 1993-1994 or any succeeding academic year, such 
     stipend shall be set at a level of support equal to that 
     provided by the National Science Foundation graduate

     necessary so as not to exceed the fellow's demonstrated level 
     of need according to measurements of need approved by the

     12-month period, in addition to the 3-year period for study 
     or research set forth in this section, under special 
     circumstances which the Secretary determines would most 
     effectively serve the purposes of this part. The Secretary

     programs of institutions of higher education, a fellowship 
     program to assist graduate students of superior ability who 
     demonstrate financial need.

     ``SEC. 942. GRANTS TO ACADEMIC DEPARTMENTS AND PROGRAMS OF 
                   INSTITUTIONS.

       ``(a) Grant Authority.--

     institutions. Nondegree granting institutions eligible for 
     awards as part of such joint proposals include any 
     organization which--

       ``(E) has necessary research resources not otherwise 
     readily available in such institutions to such students.
       ``(b) Award and Duration of Grants.--
       ``(1) Awards.--The principal criterion for the allocation 
     of awards shall be the relative quality of the graduate 
     programs presented in competing applications. Consistent with 
     an allocation of awards based on quality of competing 
     applications, the Secretary shall, in making such grants, 
     promote an equitable geographic distribution among eligible 
     public and private institutions of higher education.

     an academic department or program of an institution of higher 
     education is unable to use all of the amounts available to it 
     under this part, the Secretary shall, on such dates during 
     each fiscal year as the Secretary may fix, reallot the 
     amounts not needed to academic departments and programs of 
     institutions which can use the grants authorized by this 
     part.

       ``(1) In general.--The Secretary shall make new grant 
     awards under this part only to the extent that each previous 
     grant recipient has received continued funding in accordance 
     with subsection (b)(2).

     under this part are insufficient to comply with paragraph 
     (1), available funds shall be distributed by ratably reducing 
     the amounts required to be awarded by subsection (b)(2).

     program of postbaccalaureate study leading to a graduate 
     degree in an area of national need (as designated under 
     subsection (b)) may apply for a grant under this part. No 
     department or program shall be eligible for a grant unless 
     the program of postbaccalaureate study has been in existence 
     for at least 4 years at the time of application for 
     assistance under this part.
       ``(b) Designation of Areas of National Need.--After

       (2) the needs of these students far outpace the resources 
     available currently;
       (3) Indian tribes have shown an increasing interest in 
     administering programs serving these individuals and making 
     decisions on these programs reflecting their determinations 
     of the tribal and human needs;
       (4) the contracting process under the Indian Self-
     Determination and Education Assistance Act has provided a 
     mechanism for the majority of the tribes to assume control 
     over this program from the Bureau of Indian Affairs;
       (5) however, inherent limitations in the contracting 
     philosophy and mechanism, coupled with cumbersome 
     administrative procedures developed by the Bureau of Indian 
     Affairs have effectively limited the efficiency and 
     effectiveness of these programs;
       (6) the provision of these services in the most effective 
     and efficient form possible is necessary for tribes, the 
     country, and the individuals to be served; and
       (7) these services are part of the Federal Government's 
     continuing trust responsibility to provide education services 
     to American Indian and Alaska Natives.

     SEC. 1313. PROGRAM AUTHORITY.

       (a) In General.--The Secretary shall, from the amounts

     been disapproved within 180 days after it is filed with the 
     Secretary, the application shall be deemed to be approved;
       (2) if the application is disapproved, the Secretary shall 
     provide technical assistance to the tribe for purposes of 
     correcting deficiencies in the application;

     following the fiscal year in which submitted, unless the 
     Secretary waives the limitation of this paragraph.
       (c) Termination of Grants.--
       (1) Continuing eligibility presumed.--An Indian tribe which 
     has qualified under subsection (a) or (b) for a grant under 
     this part for any fiscal year shall continue to be eligible

     Secretary revokes such eligibility for a cause described in 
     paragraph (2).
       (2) Causes for loss of eligibility.--The Secretary may 
     revoke the eligibility of an Indian tribe for a grant under

     statement that reports revenues and expenditures determined 
     by use of an accounting system, established by the tribe, 
     that complies with generally accepted accounting principles;

     require by regulation;
       (C) fails to submit to the Secretary a biennial financial 
     audit conducted in accordance with chapter 75 of title 31, 
     United States Code; or
       (D) fails, in an evaluation of its financial assistance 
     program conducted by an impartial third party entity, to 
     comply with standards under this part relating to (i) 
     eligible students, programs, or institutions of higher 
     education, (ii) satisfactory progress, or (iii) allowable

     Assistance Act.

     SEC. 1315. ALLOCATION OF GRANT FUNDS.

       (a) Allocation of Funds.--
       (1) In general.--The Secretary shall continue to determine 
     the amount of program funds to be received by each grantee 
     under this part by the same method used for determining such 
     distribution in fiscal year 1991 for tribally-administered 
     and Bureau-administered programs of grants to individual 
     Indians to defray postsecondary expenses.
       (2) Administrative costs.--In addition to the amount 
     determined under paragraph (1), a grantee which has exercised

     costs determined pursuant to the method used by the grantee 
     during the preceding contract period. All other grantees 
     shall receive an amount for administrative costs determined

     in a postsecondary education program (as determined under the 
     contracts applying to the postsecondary education program 
     administered by tribes under the Indian Self Determination 
     and Education Assistance Act (Public Law 93-638)), to the 
     extent that such expense is not met from other sources or 
     cannot be defrayed through the action of any State, Federal, 
     or municipal Act, except that nothing in this subsection 
     shall be interpreted as requiring any priority in 
     consideration of resources; and
       (2) costs of administering the program under this part, 
     except that no more may be spent on administration of such

     computed for each fiscal year shall be made by January 1 of 
     the fiscal year.
       (d) Investment of Funds.--
       (1) Treatment as tribal property.--Notwithstanding any

       (e) Retrocession.--Whenever an Indian tribe requests 
     retrocession of any program for which assistance is provided 
     under this part, such retrocession shall become effective

     services are performed while the student is employed by a 
     Federal, State, or local agency or instrumentality or by a 
     nonprofit or for-profit private institution or organization; 
     and

     formal action, waive the service agreement of an Indian 
     student for just cause, as determined in accordance with 
     regulations prescribed by the Secretary. The tribe or 
     organization shall notify the Secretary in writing of any 
     waiver granted under this subsection.
       (2) Suspension.--The obligation of a student to perform 
     services under a critical area service agreement--

     the request of the student, the tribe or organization 
     determines that there are no employment opportunities 
     available in any critical service area; and
       (B) shall be suspended if the student ceases to attend an 
     institution of higher education as a consequence of an 
     institutional determination of unsatisfactory performance.

     If, at the end of a period of suspension under subparagraph 
     (A), there are still no employment opportunities available in 
     any critical service area, the student's obligations under 
     the agreement shall terminate. A suspension under 
     subparagraph (B) shall be reviewed by the tribe or 
     organization annually, but may be continued indefinitely.
       (d) Pro Rata Reduction for Partial Services.--The Secretary 
     shall, by regulation, provide for the pro rata reduction of 
     repayment obligations under subsection (a)(2) in the case of

     upon the nominations received, may make recommendations of

  PART E--TRIBAL DEVELOPMENT STUDENT ASSISTANCE REVOLVING LOAN PROGRAM

     SEC. 1341. SHORT TITLE.

       This part may be cited as the ``Tribal Development Student 
     Assistance Act''.

     SEC. 1342. FINDINGS; PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) a substantial number of Indian students have partially 
     completed their degrees in postsecondary education, but have 
     been unable, for a number of reasons, to complete the 
     degrees;
       (2) in at least some measure these students have been 
     supported by tribal funds or grants of Federal monies 
     administered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs or tribes;
       (3) the inability of the students to complete these degrees 
     has led to a hardship for the students and a loss of a 
     potential pool of talent to the tribes or tribal 
     organizations which originally financed, at least in part, 
     these efforts;
       (4) this loss has crippled tribal efforts in the areas of 
     economic and social development;
       (5) this failure to complete the postsecondary schooling 
     has led to economic loss to the tribes and the Federal 
     Government which could be remedied by completion of the 
     courses of study; and
       (6) a program to identify students with a level of 
     postsecondary completion short of the fulfillment of 
     graduation requirements and to encourage them to complete 
     these requirements, including provision of resources, will 
     benefit the students, the tribes, and the Federal Government.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this part are--
       (1) to establish a revolving loan program to be 
     administered by a tribe or tribal organization for the 
     purposes of increasing the number of college graduates 
     available to work in tribal businesses, tribal government, 
     and tribal services such as schools and hospitals;
       (2) to conduct research to assess the situational and 
     educational barriers to participation in postsecondary 
     education; and
       (3) to encourage development, through grants, of a model 
     which provides, in addition to loans, transitional and 
     follow-up services needed to encourage persistence in 
     postsecondary education.

     SEC. 1343. REVOLVING FUND.

       (a) Receipt, Investment, and Accounting.--

     be used for the purposes of this part.
       (2) Financial procedures.--The Secretary of the Interior is

     only in obligations of the United States or in obligations or 
     securities that are guaranteed or insured by the United 
     States, or
       (2) deposited only in accounts that are insured by an 
     agency or instrumentality of the United States.
       (c) Treatment of Income.--Notwithstanding any other 
     provision of law, any interest or investment income that 
     accrues on any funds covered under this provision after such 
     funds have been distributed to a tribe or tribal organization 
     and before such funds are distributed for the purposes of 
     making loans under this part shall be the property of the 
     tribe or tribal organization and shall not be taken into 
     account by any officer or employee of the Federal Government 
     in determining whether to provide assistance, or the amount 
     of assistance, under any provision of Federal law.

     SEC. 1344. ELIGIBLE RECIPIENTS.

     individual recipients shall benefit the economic conditions 
     of the tribe.
       (b) Criteria.--Each Indian tribe, in consultation with the 
     Secretary of Education, shall give preference to select, as 
     those tribal members eligible to receive such scholarships, 
     tribal members who have successfully completed at least 30 
     hours of postsecondary education and who are eligible for 
     readmission to a postsecondary institution.

     SEC. 1363. SCHOLARSHIP CONDITIONS.

       (a) Scholarship Agreement.--Each tribal member receiving a

     agrees--
       (1) to utilize the proceeds of such scholarship to pursue a 
     course of study which meets the requirements of the 
     educational institution in which the student is enrolled for 
     an undergraduate or postbaccalaureate degree;

     initiatives on such reservation; and
       (3) to maintain satisfactory academic progress, as

     of Education to be in noncompliance with the agreement 
     pursuant to subsection (a)(2) shall be required to repay--
       (1) 100 percent of the total amount of scholarships awarded 
     under this part if such tribal member does not work pursuant 
     to such agreement; or
       (2) a pro rata portion of the total amount of scholarships 
     awarded under this part, as determined by the Secretary of 
     Education, if such tribal member worked pursuant to such 
     agreement but less than the time period required thereunder.
       (c) Waiver and Suspension of Service Agreement.--
       (1) Waiver.--A federally recognized Indian tribe may, by 
     formal action, waive the service agreement of a tribal member 
     for just cause, as determined in accordance with regulations

     SEC. 1410. STUDY OF CIVILIAN AVIATION TRAINING PROGRAMS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the role of the military as a source of supply of 
     trained pilots and mechanics and other personnel for 
     commercial aviation is severely reduced;
       (2) approximately 50 percent of the 52,000 commercial 
     pilots currently flying will retire by the year 2000 and an 
     additional 8,000 to 10,000 pilots will be needed by then;
       (3) there is significant underrepresentation of minorities 
     and women currently working in the aviation industry and 
     African Americans constitute less than 1 percent of pilots 
     with the Nation's scheduled air carriers;
       (4) there is a substantial projected increase of minorities 
     and women as a proportion of the workforce by the year 2000; 
     and
       (5) there is need for a comprehensive study of future human 
     resources needs for the air transportation industry, 
     including a thorough investigation of recruitment, aviation 
     training outside the military context, financial and other 
     incentives and disincentives which affect the flow of people, 
     and especially minorities and women, into the industry.
       (b) Study Required.--The Secretary of Education shall enter 
     into appropriate arrangements with the National Academy of 
     Sciences Commission on Behavioral and Social Sciences and 
     Education to study civilian aviation training programs needed 
     to satisfy the workforce requirements of the commercial 
     aviation industry in the year 2000 and beyond. The specific 
     concerns to be addressed by the study shall include--
       (1) the avenues for civilians to enter the aviation 
     industry,
       (2) the characteristics of current training and the match 
     with skill requirements in the workplace, and
       (3) the impediments and incentives for minorities and women 
     to enter the aviation industry (such as a lack of role 
     models, cost of schooling and flight time, the 
     underutilization of historically black colleges and 
     universities in the educational training process, and 
     institutional barriers).
       (c) Interim Report.--The Secretary of Education shall 
     request that the National Academy of Sciences Commission on 
     Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education submit an 
     interim report to the Secretary and the Congress within 1 
     year after the date of enactment of this Act, and the study

      PART B--NATIONAL COMMISSION ON INDEPENDENT HIGHER EDUCATION

     SEC. 1421. SHORT TITLE.

       This part may be cited as the ``National Independent 
     Colleges and Universities Discovery Act''.

     SEC. 1422. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) the quality and scope of higher education in our Nation 
     is without argument the finest in the world, and a 
     distinguishing feature of our Nation's system of higher 
     education is its strong and diverse nonprofit independent 
     sector;
       (2) independent colleges and universities are as diverse as 
     the Nation itself and include traditional liberal arts 
     institutions, major research universities, church- and faith-
     related colleges, colleges and universities primarily 
     attended by minorities, women's colleges, junior colleges, 
     and schools of law, medicine, engineering, business and other 
     professions;
       (3) the diversity of independent colleges and universities 
     offers students a choice in the type of educational 
     experience that will best serve such students' interests, 
     needs and aspirations;
       (4) independent colleges and universities enroll 21 percent 
     of all students in the United States, award 33 percent of all 
     bachelor's degrees in the United States, 42 percent of all 
     such master's degrees, 36 percent of all such doctoral 
     degrees, and 59 percent of all such professional degrees;
       (5) a majority of all undergraduate students attending 
     independent colleges and universities receive some form of 
     financial assistance, and such independent colleges and 
     universities provide such financial assistance from their own 
     resources;
       (6) independent colleges and universities are deeply 
     involved in hundreds of partnerships with elementary and 
     secondary schools, and such partnerships are largely funded 
     by such colleges and universities;
       (7) independent colleges and universities have been an 
     extraordinary example of private-public partnerships, with 
     such colleges and universities operating in the public 
     interest to provide a public good;
       (8) less than 20 percent of the revenue of independent 
     colleges and universities comes from governmental funds, most 
     of which is in the form of Federal and State financial aid;
       (9) decreases in Federal and State support for student 
     financial aid programs has placed at risk the option of 
     choosing an independent college or university for an 
     increasing number of students;
       (10) whereas at the turn of the twentieth century 80 
     percent of the students enrolled in higher education in the 
     United States were enrolled in independent colleges and 
     universities, such percentage has now declined to 21 percent, 
     and further erosions place at risk the option of choosing an 
     independent college or university for students and parents; 
     and
       (11) the entire sector of independent colleges and 
     universities and the important contributions such sector 
     makes to our Nation is at risk and deserves national policy 
     attention.

     SEC. 1423. PURPOSE.

Para. 85.3  words taken down

  Mr. CONYERS during one minute speeches addressed the House and, during 
the course of his remarks,
  Mr. SENSENBRENNER demanded that certain words be taken down.
  The Clerk read the words taken down as follows:

       In continuing its downhill slide, the Senate Judiciary 
     Committee has recommended by a 10-to-4 vote approval of the 
     nomination of Edward Carnes to the 11th Circuit Court of 
     Appeals. The simple fact is that Edward Carnes is unfit to 
     serve on the Federal bench. His executioner mentality and 
     active support for racial discrimination with the Alabama 
     criminal justice system, and his failure to understand the 
     concept of equal * * *.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, held the words taken down to be 
unparliamentary, and said:

  ``According to Jefferson's Manual section 371, page 175, the Chair 
rules that critical references to the Senate or committees of the Senate 
are not permitted under the rules of the House.''.

  By unanimous consent, the words ruled unparliamentary were stricken 
from the Congressional Record.
  By unanimous consent, Mr. CONYERS was permitted to proceed in order.

Para. 85.4  district of columbia business transferred

  On motion of Mr. DELLUMS, by unanimous consent,
  Ordered, That business in order under clause 8 of rule XXIV, the 
District of Columbia Day, be transferred from Monday, July 27, 1992, to 
Wednesday, July 29, 1992.

Para. 85.5  taif agreement

  On motion of Mr. HAMILTON, by unanimous consent, the following 
concurrent resolution of the Senate was taken from the Speaker's table 
(S. Con. Res. 129):

       Whereas Lebanon's sixteen-year civil war finally was ended 
     by the Taif Agreement, brokered by the Arab League on October 
     22, 1989;
       Whereas the Taif Agreement is intended to lead to full 
     restoration of Lebanon's sovereignty, independence, and 
     territorial integrity;
       Whereas Syria continues to exert undue influence upon the 
     government of Lebanon and maintains an estimated 40,000 
     Syrian armed forces in Lebanon;
       Whereas truly free and fair elections in Lebanon will not 
     be possible in areas of foreign military control;
       Whereas under the Taif Agreement the Syrians must withdraw 
     their armed forces to the gateway of the Bekaa Valley by 
     September 1992; and
       Whereas the success of the Taif Agreement depends upon 
     timely Syrian withdrawal: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives 
     concurring)--
       (1) expresses continuing support for the Taif Agreement, 
     signed in 1989;
       (2) calls upon Syria to withdraw its armed forces to the 
     gateway of the Bekaa Valley in September 1992, as required 
     under the Taif Agreement, and as a prelude to complete 
     withdrawal from Lebanon;
       (3) urges immediate consideration of possible alternatives 
     to ensuring security in Beirut following the Syrian 
     withdrawal, including the establishment of a United Nations 
     or other multilateral presence in Beirut, if necessary; and
       (4) urges the government of Lebanon to hold elections if 
     they can be free and fair, conducted after the Syrian 
     withdrawal and without outside interference, and witnessed by 
     international observers.

  When said concurrent resolution was considered and agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said concurrent resolution

[[Page 1460]]

was agreed to was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.
  Ordered, That the Clerk notify the Senate thereof.

Para. 85.6  waiving points of order against h.r. 5518

  Mr. GORDON, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 513):

       Resolved,  That during consideration of the bill (H.R. 
     5518) making appropriations for the Department of 
     Transportation and related agencies for the fiscal year 
     ending September 30, 1993, and for other purposes, all points 
     of order against provisions in the bill for failure to comply 
     with clause 2 of rule XXI are waived except as follows: 
     beginning with ``Provided'' on page 4, line 24, through page 
     5, line 2; beginning on page 63, line 20, through page 64, 
     line 24; and beginning on page 67, line 4, through line 16. 
     Where points of order are waived against only part of a 
     paragraph, a point of order against matter in the balance of 
     the paragraph may be applied only within the balance of the 
     paragraph and not against the entire paragraph. Unless 
     otherwise specified in the report of the Committee on Rules 
     accompanying this resolution, debate on each amendment to 
     title I or title II of the bill, and any amendments thereto, 
     shall be limited to twenty minutes. It shall be in order to 
     consider the amendment printed in the report of the Committee 
     on Rules accompanying this resolution. Each amendment printed 
     in the report may be offered only by the named proponent or a 
     designee, shall be considered as read when offered, shall be 
     debatable for the time specified in the report equally 
     divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, 
     shall not be subject to amendment, and shall not be subject 
     to a demand for division of the question in the House or in 
     the Committee of the Whole. All points of order against 
     amendments printed in the report are waived. The amendments 
     specified in the report to be offered by Representative 
     Oberstar of Minnesota or his designee may be considered en 
     bloc. The amendments specified in the report to be offered by 
     Representative Obey of Wisconsin or his designee may be 
     considered en bloc. The chairman of the Committee of the 
     Whole may recognize for the consideration of the amendments 
     printed in part 1 of the report at any time, but not sooner 
     than one hour after the chairman of the Committee on 
     Appropriations announces from the floor a request to the 
     effect. The amendments printed in part 1 of the report shall 
     be considered in the order printed. If both of the amendments 
     numbered 1 and 2 in part 1 of the report are adopted, then 
     only the second to be adopted shall be considered as finally 
     adopted and reported to the House.

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. GORDON, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to said resolution?

       ``Sec. 339. Additional Investment in America.--(a) 
     Effective upon the date of enactment of this Act, the fiscal 
     year 1993 discretionary spending limits set forth in section 
     601(a)(2) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 are amended 
     for all purposes of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit 
     Control Act of 1985 and the Congressional Budget and 
     Impoundment Act of 1974, as follows:
       (1) the outlay limit for the domestic category shall be 
     increased by $400,000,000; and
       (2) the outlay limit for the international category shall 
     be reduced by $400,000,000

     assigned to the Committees on Appropriations in the 1993 
     Concurrent Budget Resolution (H. Con. Res. 287) shall be 
     achieved. The total of the first four domestic discretionary 
     appropriations bills passed by the House is $154,000,000 
     below their outlay targets. Additional savings are expected 
     to be made from the six remaining non-defense bills. The 
     Congress intends and commits that the final appropriations 
     bills for fiscal year 1993 sent to the President will fully 
     comply with their existing deficit reduction target.

  By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered on the

  The following amendments, reported from the Committee of the Whole 
House on the state of the Union, were agreed to:

       Page 6, line 2, strike ``provide the required local match 
     and are no more than 200 miles from a large hub airport:'' 
     and insert ``and provide the required local match:''.
       Page 67, after line 16, insert the following new section:

[[Page 1465]]

     time for flight attendants, including minimum rest 
     requirements as follows:
       ``(1) For domestic and international flights, at no point

     maximum of 14 hours of scheduled duty time, plus a maximum of 
     2 additional hours spent deadheading to return to the flight 
     attendant's domicile. A scheduled minimum rest period (after 
     such duty period) shall equal at least 10\1/2\ consecutive 
     hours, block-in to block-out.

     time shall not exceed the scheduled duty time by more than 4 
     hours and, in any event, shall be no greater than 20 hours of

     Effective upon the date of enactment of this Act, the fiscal 
     year 1993 discretionary spending limits set forth in section 
     601(a)(2) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 are amended 
     for all purposes of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit 
     Control Act of 1985 and the Congressional Budget and 
     Impoundment Act of 1974, as follows:
       (1) the outlay limit for the domestic category shall be 
     increased by $400,000,000; and
       (2) the outlay limit for the international category shall 
     be reduced by $400,000,000
       (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Office 
     of Management and Budget and the Congressional Budget Office

     1985 based on the amendments required in subsection (a) and

       (c) The Congress reaffirms that the deficit reduction 
     assigned to the Committees on Appropriations in the 1993 
     Concurrent Budget Resolution (H. Con. Res. 287) shall be 
     achieved. The total of the first four domestic discretionary 
     appropriations bills passed by the House is $154,000,000 
     below their outlay targets. Additional savings are expected 
     to be made from the six remaining non-defense bills. The 
     Congress intends and commits that the final appropriations 
     bills for fiscal year 1993 sent to the President will fully 
     comply with their existing deficit reduction target.

  The bill, as amended, was ordered to be engrossed and read a third 
time, was read a third time by title.
  Mr. MICHEL moved to recommit the bill to the Committee on 
Appropriations with instructions to report the bill back to the House 
forthwith with the following amendment:

       At the end, insert the following new section:

     SEC.   . DEFICIT REDUCTION.

       Any savings achieved under discretionary spending limits 
     established under section 601(a)(2)(C) of the Congressional 
     Budget Act of 1974 for fiscal year 1993 as a result of 
     appropriations under this Act or any other appropriation Act 
     shall be applied to reducing the Federal deficit for that 
     fiscal year.

  After debate,
  By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered on the motion 
to recommit with instructions.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House recommit said bill with instructions?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. de la GARZA, announced that the yeas had 
it.
  Mr. MICHEL demanded a recorded vote on agreeing to said motion, which 
demand was supported by one-fifth of a quorum, so a recorded vote was 
ordered.

To the Congress of the United States:

  As required by section 403(c) of the Powerplant and Industrial Fuel 
Use Act of 1978, as amended (42 U.S.C. 8373(c)), I hereby transmit the 
13th annual report describing Federal actions with respect to the 
conservation and use of petroleum and natural gas in Federal facilities, 
which covers calendar year 1991.
                                                          George Bush.  
  The White House, July 21, 1992.

papers, was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Para. 86.33  message from the president--national emergency with respect 
          to iraq

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. TORRES, laid before the House a message 
from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:

  Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)) 
provides for the automatic termination of a national emergency unless, 
prior to the anniversary date of its declaration, the President 
publishes in the Federal Register and transmits to the Congress a notice 
stating that the emergency is to continue in effect beyond the 
anniversary date. In accordance with this provision, I have sent the 
enclosed notice, stating that the Iraqi emergency is to continue in 
effect beyond August 2, 1992, to the Federal Register for publication.
  The crisis between the United States and Iraq that led to the 
declaration on August 2, 1990, of a national emergency has not been 
resolved. The Government of Iraq continues to engage in activities 
inimical to stability in the Middle East and hostile to U.S. interests 
in the region. Such Iraqi actions pose a continuing unusual and 
extraordinary threat to the national security and vital foreign policy 
interests of the United States. For these reasons, I have determined 
that it is necessary to maintain in force the broad authorities 
necessary to apply economic pressure to the Government of Iraq.
                                                          George Bush.  
  The White House, July 21, 1992.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and ordered to 
be printed (H. Doc. 102-363).

Para. 86.34  message from the president--social security agreement u.s.--
          luxembourg

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. TORRES, laid before the House a message 
from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:

  Pursuant to section 233(e)(1) of the Social Security Act, as amended 
by the Social Security Amendments of 1977 (Public Law 95-216, 42 U.S.C. 
433(e)(1)), I transmit herewith the Agreement between the United States 
of America and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg on Social Security, which 
consists of two separate instruments--a principal agreement and an 
administrative arrangement. The agreement was signed at Luxembourg on 
February 12, 1992.
  The United States-Luxembourg agreement is similar in objective to the 
social security agreements already in force with Austria, Belgium, 
Canada, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, 
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Such bilateral 
agreements provide for limited coordination between the United States 
and foreign social security systems to eliminate dual social security 
coverage and taxation, and to help prevent the loss of benefit 
protection that can occur when workers divide their careers between two 
countries.
  I also transmit for the information of the Congress a report prepared 
by the Department of Health and Human Services, explaining the key 
points of the agreement, along with a paragraph-by-paragraph explanation 
of the provisions of the principal agreement and the related 
administrative arrangement. In addition, as required by section 
233(e)(1) of the Social Security Act, a report on the effect of the 
agreement on income and expenditures of the U.S. Social Security program 
and the number of individuals affected by the agreement is also 
enclosed. I note that the Department of State and the Department of 
Health and Human Services have recommended the agreement and related 
documents to me.
  I commend the Agreement between the United States of America and the 
Grand Duchy of Luxembourg on Social Security and related documents.
                                                          George Bush.  
  The White House, July 21, 1992.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means and ordered to 
be printed (H. Doc. 102-362).

Para. 86.35  leave of absence

  By unanimous consent, leave of absence was granted--
  To Mr. HYDE, for today and the balance of the week; and
  To Mr. PETERSON of Florida, for today and the balance of the week.
  And then,

Para. 86.36  adjournment

Para. 87.6  privileges of the house

  Mr. ROSE rose to a question of the privileges of the House and 
submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 518):

       Whereas the Committee on House Administration has ordered 
     reported the findings of the Committee Task Force to 
     Investigate the Operation and Management of the House Post 
     Office; and
       Whereas matters have been raised which may inpugn the 
     integrity of the House: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Committee on House Administration is 
     directed to--
       (1) transmit to the Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct the committee report and all records obtained by the 
     Task Force pursuant to House Resolution 340, One Hundred 
     Second Congress;
       (2) make available the committee report and all records 
     obtained by the Task Force pursuant to House Resolution 340 
     to the United States Department of Justice for inspection in 
     the Committee offices; and
       (3) send a letter with specific recommendations to the 
     Speaker of the House, the majority and minority leaders, and 
     the Director of Non-Legislative and Financial Services.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mrs. SCHROEDER, ruled that the resolution

  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. ROSE, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection.
  The question being put viva voce,
  Will the House agree to said resolution?

  Mr. WALKER objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken by

Para. 87.9  privileges of the house

  Mr. THOMAS of California rose to a question of the privileges of the 
House and submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 519):

       Whereas, pursuant to H. Res. 340, the Committee on House 
     Administration was directed to investigate the operation and 
     management of the Office of the Postmaster; and
       Whereas, the Committee on House Administration Task Force 
     to Investigate the Operation and Management of the Office of 
     the Postmaster required all Task Force staff to agree in 
     writing, by signing an Agreement of Confidentiality, not to 
     disclose any information relating to the investigation prior 
     to such time as the Task Force has released its final report; 
     and
       Whereas, confidential information from the Task Force draft 
     report appeared in the July 10, 1992 and July 11, 1992 issues 
     of The Washington Times and the July 13, 1992 issue of Roll 
     Call; and
       Whereas, a Member of the Task Force, in an attempt to 
     influence the contents of the final Task Force report, placed 
     a phone call to a Member not on the Task Force regarding 
     confidential information in the Task Force draft report; and
       Whereas, House Rule XLIII (the Code of Official Conduct), 
     Section 1, requires that a ``Member, officer, or employee of 
     the House of Representatives shall conduct himself at all 
     times in a manner which shall reflect creditably on the House 
     of Representatives''; Now, therefore be it
       Resolved, That the House of Representatives directs the 
     Committee on Standards of Official Conduct to investigate 
     violations of the Agreement of Confidentiality of the 
     Committee on House Administration Task Force to Investigate 
     the Operation and Management of the Office of the Postmaster, 
     and to determine whether the conduct of any Task Force Member 
     who attempted to influence the content of the final Task 
     Force report by calling any Member not on the Task Force 
     regarding confidential information in the Task Force draft 
     report violated House Rule XLIII, the Code of Official 
     Conduct.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mrs. SCHROEDER, ruled that the resolution 
submitted did present a question of the privileges of the House under 
rule IX.
  Mr. ROSE moved to lay the resolution on the table.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House lay the resolution on the table?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mrs. SCHROEDER, announced that the yeas had 
it.
  Mr. THOMAS of California demanded that the vote be taken by the yeas 
and nays, which demand was supported by one-fifth of the Members

  After some further time,
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. GEPHARDT, assumed the Chair.
  When Mr. GLICKMAN, Chairman, reported that the Committee, having had 
under consideration said bill, had directed him to report the same back

  By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered on the bill 
and amendments.
  Pursuant to House Resolution 517, the following amendments printed in 
part 1 and part 2 of House Report 102-683 were considered as adopted.

     payment to be made by the United States Government pursuant 
     to the provision of subsection (a) of title II of the Act of 
     August 28, 1937 (50 Stat. 876) to the Oregon and California 
     land-grant counties in the State of Oregon from fiscal year 
     1993 receipts derived from the Oregon and California grant 
     lands shall not be less than 85 percent of the average annual 
     payment made to those counties of their share of the Oregon 
     and California land-grant receipts collected during the five-
     year baseline period of fiscal years 1986 through 1990: 
     Provided, That in no event shall this payment exceed the 
     total amount of receipts collected from the Oregon and 
     California grant lands during fiscal year 1993.

  On motion of Mr. MURTHA, by unanimous consent,
  Ordered, That in the engrossment of the foregoing bill, the Clerk be 
authorized to correct section numbers, punctuation, cross references, 
and to make other technical corrections.

Para. 88.17  message from the senate

  A message from the Senate by Mr. Hallen, one of its clerks, announced 
that the Senate had passed a bill of the following title, in which the 
concurrence of the House is requested:

       S. 3007. An Act to authorize financial assistance for the 
     construction and maintenance of the Mary McLeod Bethune 
     Memorial Fine Arts Center.

Para. 88.18  privileges of the house

  Mr. OLVER rose to a question of the privileges of the House and 
submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 525):

       Whereas on July 22, 1992 the Republican Members and staff 
     of the Committee on House Administration and the Committee's 
     Task Force to Investigate the Operation and Management of the 
     Office of the Postmaster disseminated to the media and the 
     public a document which although entitled ``Report of the 
     Committee on House Administration Task Force to Investigate 
     the Operation and Management of the Office of the 
     Postmaster'' was in fact not the report of the Task Force but 
     rather a report of the Republican Members of the Task Force; 
     and,
       Whereas at page 52 of that document the Republican Members 
     of the Task Force indicate that a post office box was 
     retained at the Brentwood Post Office on behalf of 
     Representative John Olver and that the retention of such a 
     post office box might raise certain concerns; and,
       Whereas in fact the post office box referred to in the 
     Report of the Republican Members of the Task Force was 
     retained not by or on behalf of Representative Olver, a 
     Member of the Democratic Party but instead on behalf of 
     Representative Olver's predecessor, a Member of the 
     Republican Party: and,
       Whereas the inclusion of this false, incorrect, and 
     improper reference to Representative Olver, and the 
     widespread dissemination of the false, incorrect and improper 
     information has caused unwarranted injury to the reputation 
     and good name of Representative Olver, it is therefore,
       Resolved, That the Committee on House Administration is 
     hereby directed to issue a formal apology to Representative 
     Olver and such apology shall be personally signed by all 
     Members of the Task Force, and it is further,
       Resolved, That any and all printing, distribution or other 
     dissemination of the Republican Members Report shall cease 
     and desist until such time as the text of the Republican 
     Members Report is corrected to accurately reflect that 
     Representative Olver did not have a post office box retained 
     on his behalf, and it is further,
       Resolved, That the Chairman of the Committee on House 
     Administration is hereby directed to determine the cause of 
     the incorrect attribution of a post office box retained on 
     behalf of a Member of the Republican Party to a Member of the 
     Democratic Party in the Report of the Republican Members of 
     the Task Force, who was responsible for the publication and 
     dissemination of this false information and whether further 
     inquiry is warranted to determine whether the publication and 
     dissemination of this falsehood constitute the violation of 
     any Rule of the House or applicable legal standard.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. GEPHARDT, ruled that the resolution 
submitted did present a question of the privileges of the House under 
rule IX.
  After debate,
  Mr. OLVER, withdrew said resolution.

Para. 88.19  privileges of the house

  Mr. WALKER rose to a question of the privileges of the House and 
submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 526):

       Whereas on July 22, 1992, the House of Representatives 
     voted to transmit to the Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct the Committee Report and all records obtained by the 
     Task Force to Investigate the Operation and Management of the 
     House Post Office;
       Whereas the Majority has selectively included portions of 
     the transcript of the proceedings of the Task Force in the 
     Appendix to their Report; and
       Whereas matters have been raised which impugn the integrity 
     of the proceedings of the House of Representatives: Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Committee on House Administration is 
     directed to make public complete transcripts of all 
     proceedings of the Task Force, including depositions and 
     statements of witnesses.
  The SPEAKER ruled that the resolution submitted did present a 
question of the privileges of the House under rule IX.
  After debate,
  Mr. KLECZKA moved to lay the resolution on the table.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House lay the resolution on the table?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. DERRICK, announced that the yeas had it.
  On a division demanded by Mr. WALKER, there appeared, yeas--18, 
nays--17.
  Mr. WALKER objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken 
by electronic device.

Para. 88.21  providing for the consideration of h.r. 4850

  Mr. MOAKLEY, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 523):

       Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this 
     resolution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule 
     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the State of the Union for the consideration 
     of the bill (H.R. 4850) to amend the Communications Act of 
     1934 to provide increased consumer protection and to promote 
     increased competition in the cable television and related 
     markets, and for other purposes, and the first reading of the 
     bill shall be dispensed with. After general debate, which 
     shall be confined to the bill and which shall not exceed one 
     hour, to be equally divided and controlled by the chairman 
     and ranking minority member of the Committee on Energy and 
     Commerce, the bill shall be considered for amendment under 
     the five-minute rule. It shall be in order to consider the 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the 
     Committee on Energy and Commerce now printed in the bill as 
     an original bill for the purpose of amendment under the five-
     minute rule and said substitute shall be considered as having 
     been read. No amendment to said substitute shall be in order 
     except those made in order by section 2 of this resolution or 
     the amendments printed in the report of the Committee on 
     Rules accompanying this resolution. Said amendments shall be 
     considered in the order and manner specified in the report 
     and shall be considered as having been read. Said amendments 
     shall be debatable for the period specified in the report, 
     equally divided and controlled by the proponent and a Member 
     opposed thereto. Said amendments shall not be subject to 
     amendment except as specified in the report. All points of 
     order against the amendments printed in the report are hereby 
     waived.
       Sec. 2. It shall be in order at any time for the chairman 
     of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, or his designee, to 
     offer amendments en bloc, consisting of amendments and 
     modifications in the text of any amendment which are germane 
     thereto, printed in the report of the Committee on Rules. 
     Said amendments en bloc shall be considered as having been 
     read, shall not be subject to amendment, or to a demand for a 
     division of the question in the House or in the Committee of 
     the Whole. Such amendments en bloc shall be debatable for not 
     to exceed twenty minutes, equally divided and controlled by 
     the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
     Energy and Commerce. The original proponents of the 
     amendments offered en bloc shall have permission to insert 
     statements in the Congressional Record immediately before the 
     disposition of the amendments en bloc.
       Sec. 3. At the conclusion of the consideration of the bill 
     for amendment, the Committee shall rise and report the bill 
     to the House with such amendments as may have been adopted, 
     and any Member may demand a separate vote in the House on any 
     amendment adopted in the Committee of the Whole to the bill 
     or to committee amendment in the nature of a substitute. The 
     previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill 
     and amendments thereto to final passage without intervening 
     motion except one motion to recommit with or without 
     instructions.
       Sec. 4. After passage of H.R. 4850, it shall be in order to 
     move to take from the Speaker's table the bill S. 12 and ask 
     for its immediate consideration in the House. It shall then 
     be in order to move to strike out all after the enacting 
     clause of S. 12 and insert in lieu thereof the provisions of 
     H.R. 4850 as passed by the House. It shall then be in order 
     to move to insist on the House amendment to S. 12 and request 
     a conference with the Senate thereon.
  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. MOAKLEY, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection and under the operation 
thereof, the resolution was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said resolution was agreed to 
was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.

       Page 9, beginning on line 1, strike all of section 3 
     through line 18 on page 28 and insert the following:

     SEC. 3. RATE REGULATION.

       (a) Amendment.--Section 623 of the Communications Act of 
     1934 is amended to read as follows:


                         ``regulation of rates

       ``Sec. 623. (a) Competition Preference; State Commission 
     Regulation.--
       ``(1) In general.--No Federal agency or franchising 
     authority may regulate the rates for the provision of cable 
     service except to the extent provided under this section and 
     section 612. Any State commission (as such term is defined in 
     section 3(t) of this Act) may regulate the rates for the 
     provision of cable service, or any other communications 
     service provided over a cable system to cable subscribers, 
     but only to the extent provided under this section.
       ``(2) Preference for competition.--If the Commission finds 
     that a cable system is subject to effective competition, the 
     rates for the provision of cable service by such system shall 
     not be subject to regulation by the Commission or by a State 
     commission under this section. If the Commission finds that a 
     cable system is not subject to effective competition, the 
     rates for the provision of cable service by such system shall 
     be subject to regulation by a State commission pursuant to a 
     law of such State.
       ``(b) Discrimination; Services for the Hearing Impaired.--
     Nothing in this title shall be construed as prohibiting any 
     Federal agency, State, or a franchising authority from--
       ``(1) prohibiting discrimination among subscribers or 
     potential subscribers with regard to the services offered or 
     the rates charged for such services, or
       ``(2) requiring and regulating the installation or rental 
     of equipment which facilitates the reception of basic cable 
     service by hearing impaired individuals.
       ``(c) Negative Option Billing Prohibited.--A cable operator 
     shall not charge a subscriber for any individually-priced 
     channel of video programming or for any pay-per-view video 
     programming that the subscriber has not affirmatively 
     requested. For purposes of this subsection, a subscriber's 
     failure to refuse a cable operator's proposal to provide such 
     channel or programming shall not be deemed to be an 
     affirmative request for such programming.
       ``(d) Reports on Averge Prices.--The Commission shall 
     publish quarterly statistical reports on the average rates 
     for basic service and other cable programming, and for 
     converter boxes, remote control units, and other equipment, 
     of--
       ``(1) cable systems that the Commission has found are 
     subject to effective competition under subsection (a)(2), 
     compared with
       ``(2) cable systems that the Commission has found are not 
     subject to such effective competition.
       ``(e) Definition.--As used in this section, the term 
     `effective competition' means that--
       ``(1) fewer than 30 percent of the households in the 
     franchise area subscribe to the cable service of a cable 
     system;
       ``(2) the franchise area is--
       ``(A) served by at least two unaffiliated multichannel 
     video programming distributors each of which offers 
     comparable video programming to at least 50 percent of the 
     households in the franchise area; and
       ``(B) the number of households subscribing to programming 
     services offered by multichannel video programming 
     distributors other than the largest multichannel video 
     programming distributor exceeds 15 percent of the households 
     in the franchise area; or
       ``(3) a multichannel video programming distributor operated 
     by the franchising authority for that franchise area offers 
     video programming to at least 50 percent of the households in 
     that franchise area.''.

       Page 82, after line 6, insert the following new section 
     (and redesignate the succeeding sections accordingly):

     SEC. 15. LIMITATION ON FRANCHISING AUTHORITY LIABILITY.

       (a) Amendment.--Part IV of title VI of the Communications 
     Act of 1934 is amended by inserting after section 635 (47 
     U.S.C. 555) the following new section:

     ``SEC. 635A. LIMITATION OF FRANCHISING AUTHORITY LIABILITY.

       ``(a) Suits for Damages Prohibited.--In any court 
     proceeding pending on or initiated after the date of 
     enactment of this section involving any claim against a 
     franchising authority or other governmental entity, or any 
     official, member, employee, or agent of such authority or 
     entity, arising from the regulation of cable service or from 
     a decision of approval or disapproval with respect to a 
     grant, renewal, transfer, or amendment of a franchise, any 
     relief, to the extent such relief is required by any other 
     provision of Federal, State, or local law, shall be limited 
     to injunctive relief and declaratory relief.
       ``(b) Exception for Completed Cases.--The limitation 
     contained in subsection (a) shall not apply to actions that, 
     prior to such violation, have been determined by a final 
     order of a court of binding jurisdiction, no longer subject 
     to appeal, to be in violation of a cable operator's rights.
       ``(c) Discrimination Claims Permitted.--Nothing in this 
     section shall be construed as limiting the relief authorized 
     with respect to any claim against a franchising authority, or 
     other governmental entity, or any official, member, employee, 
     or agent of such authority or entity, to the extent such 
     claim involves discrimination on the basis of race, color, 
     sex, age, religion, national origin, or handicap.
       ``(d) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall 
     be construed as creating or authorizing liability of any 
     kind, under any law, for any action or failure to act 
     relating to cable service or the granting of a franchise by 
     any franchising authority or other governmental entity, or 
     any official, member, employee, or agent of such authority or 
     entity.''.
       (b) Conforming Amendment.--Section 635(b) of the 
     Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 555(b)) is amended by 
     inserting ``and with the provisions of section 635(a)'' after 
     ``subsection (a)''.
       Page 93, after line 20, insert the following new paragraph:
       (3) Analysis of preclusive contracts required.--In 
     conducting the study required by paragraph (1), the 
     Commission shall analyze the extent to which preclusive 
     contracts between college athletic conferences and video 
     programming vendors have artificially and unfairly restricted 
     the supply of the sporting events of local colleges for 
     broadcast on local television stations. In conducting such 
     analysis, the Commission shall consult with the Attorney 
     General to determine whether and to what extent such 
     preclusive contracts are prohibited by existing statutes. The 
     report required by paragraph (2) shall include a separate 
     statement of the results of the analysis required by this 
     paragraph, together with such recommendations for legislation 
     as the Commission considers necessary and appropriate. For 
     purposes of the paragraph, the term ``preclusive contract'' 
     includes any contract that prohibits--
       (A) the live broadcast by a local television station of a 
     sporting event of a local college team that is not carried, 
     on a live basis, by any cable system within the local 
     community served by such local television station; or
       (B) the delayed broadcast by a local television station of 
     a sporting event of a local college team that is not carried, 
     on a live or delayed basis, by any cable system within the 
     local community served by such local television station.
       Page 63, after line 15, insert the following new section 
     (and redesignate the succeeding sections accordingly):

     SEC. 10. NOTICE TO CABLE SUBSCRIBERS ON UNSOLICITED SEXUALLY 
                   EXPLICIT PROGRAMS.

       Section 624(d) of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 
     544(d)) is amended by adding at the end the following new 
     paragraph:
       ``(3)(A) If a cable operator provides a premium channel 
     without charge to cable subscribers who do not subscribe to 
     such premium channel, the cable operator shall, not later 
     than 30 days before such premium channel is provided without 
     charge--
       ``(i) notify all cable subscribers that the cable operator 
     plans to provide a premium channel without charge,
       ``(ii) notify all cable subscribers when the cable operator 
     plans to offer a premium channel without charge,
       ``(iii) notify all cable subscribers that they have a right 
     to request that the channel carrying the premium channel be 
     blocked, and
       ``(iv) block the channel carrying the premium channel upon 
     the request of a subscriber.
       ``(B) For the purpose of this section, the term `premium 
     channel' shall mean any pay service offered on a per channel 
     or per program basis, which offers movies rated by the Motion 
     Picture Association as X, NR17, or R.''.

       Part III of title VI of the Communications Act of 1934 is 
     amended by inserting after section 627 (47 U.S.C. 547) the 
     following new section:

     ``SEC. 628. DEVELOPMENT OF COMPETITION AND DIVERSITY IN VIDEO 
                   PROGRAMMING DISTRIBUTION.

       ``(a) Purpose.--The purpose of this section is to promote 
     the public interest, convenience, and necessity by increasing 
     competition and diversity in the multichannel video 
     programming market, to increase the availability of satellite 
     cable programming to persons in rural and other areas not 
     currently able to receive such service, and to spur the 
     development of communications technologies.
       ``(b) Prohibition.--It shall be unlawful for a cable 
     operator or a satellite cable programming vendor in which a 
     cable operator has an attributable interest in violation of 
     any regulation prescribed under subsection (c) to engage in 
     unfair methods of competition or unfair or deceptive acts or 
     practices, the purpose or effect of which is to hinder 
     significantly or to prevent any multichannel video 
     programming distributor from providing satellite cable 
     programming to subscribers or consumers.
       ``(c) Regulations Required.--
       ``(1) Proceeding required.--Within 180 days after the 
     enactment of this Act, the Commission shall, in order to 
     promote the public interest, convenience, and necessity by 
     increasing competition and diversity in the multichannel 
     video programming market and continuing development of 
     communications technologies, prescribe regulations to specify 
     the conduct that is prohibited by subsection (b).
       ``(2) Minimum contents of regulations.--The regulations to 
     be promulgated under this section shall--
       ``(A) establish effective safeguards to prevent a cable 
     operator which has an attributable interest in a satellite 
     cable programming vendor from unduly or improperly 
     influencing the decision of such vendor to sell, or the 
     price, terms, and conditions of sale of, satellite cable 
     programming to any unaffiliated multichannel video 
     programming distributor;
       ``(B) prohibit discrimination by a satellite cable 
     programming vendor in which a cable operator has an 
     attributable interest in the price, terms, and conditions in 
     the sale or delivery of satellite cable programming among or 
     between cable systems, cable operators, or their agents or 
     buying groups, or other multichannel video programming 
     distributors; except that such a satellite cable programming 
     vendor in which a cable operator has an attributable interest 
     shall not be prohibited from--
       ``(i) imposing reasonable requirements for 
     creditworthiness, offering of service, and financial 
     stability and standards regarding character and technical 
     quality;
       ``(ii) establishing different prices, terms, and conditions 
     to take into account actual and reasonable differences in the 
     cost of creation, sale, delivery, or transmission of 
     satellite cable programming;
       ``(iii) establishing different price, terms, and conditions 
     which take into account reasonable volume discounts based on 
     the number of subscribers served by the distributor; or
       ``(iv) entering into an exclusive contract that is 
     permitted under subparagraph (D);
       ``(C) prohibit practices, understandings, arrangements, or 
     activities, including exclusive contracts for satellite cable 
     programming between a cable operator and a cable satellite 
     programming between a cable operator and a cable satellite 
     programming vendor, which prevent a multichannel video 
     programming distributor from obtaining such programming from 
     any satellite cable programming vendor in which a cable 
     operator has an attributable interest for distribution to 
     persons in areas not served by a cable operator as of the 
     date of enactment of this section; and
       ``(D) with respect to distribution to persons in areas 
     served by a cable operator, prohibit exclusive contracts for 
     satellite cable programming between a cable operator and a 
     satellite cable programming vendor in which a cable operator 
     has an attributable interest, unless the Commission 
     determines (in accordance with paragraph (4)) that such 
     contract is in the public interest.
       ``(3) Geographic limitations.--Nothing in this section 
     shall require any person who is engaged in the national or 
     regional distribution of video programming to make such 
     programming available in any geographic area beyond which 
     such programming has been authorized or licensed for 
     distribution. Nothing in this section shall apply to the 
     signal of any broadcast affiliate of a national television 
     network or other television signal that is retransmitted by 
     satellite, and shall not apply to any internal satellite 
     communication of any broadcast network or cable network, 
     except that satellite broadcast programming shall be subject 
     to the requirements of this section.
       ``(4) Public interest determinations on exclusive 
     contracts.--In determining whether an exclusive contract is 
     in the public interest for purposes of paragraph (2)(D), the 
     Commission shall consider each of the following factors with 
     respect to the effect of such contract on the distribution of 
     video programming in areas that are served by a cable 
     operator:
       ``(A) the effect of such exclusive contract on the 
     development of competition in local and national multichannel 
     video programming distribution markets;
       ``(B) the effect of such exclusive contract on competition 
     from multichannel video programming distribution technologies 
     other than cable;
       ``(C) the effect of such exclusive contract on the 
     attraction of capital investment in the production and 
     distribution of new satellite cable programming;
       ``(D) the effect of such exclusive contract on diversity of 
     programming in the multichannel video programming 
     distribution market; and
       ``(E) the duration of the exclusive contract.
       ``(5) Sunset provision.--The prohibition required by 
     paragraph (2)(D) shall cease to be effective 10 years after 
     the date of enactment of this Act.
       ``(d) Adjudicatory Proceeding.--Any multichannel video 
     programming distributor aggrieved by conduct that it alleges 
     constitutes a violation of this section, or the implementing 
     regulations of the Commission under this section, may 
     commence an adjudicatory proceeding at the Commission.
       ``(e) Remedies for Violations.--
       ``(1) Remedies authorized.--Upon completion of such 
     adjudicatory proceeding, the Commission shall have the power 
     to order appropriate remedies, including, if necessary, the 
     power to establish price, terms, and conditions of sale of 
     programming to the aggrieved multichannel video programming 
     distributor.
       ``(2) Additional remedies.--The remedies provided in 
     paragraph (1) are in addition to and not in lieu of the 
     remedies available under title V or any other provision of 
     this Act.
       ``(f) Procedures.--The Commission shall prescribe 
     regulations to implement this section. The Commission's 
     regulations shall--
       ``(1) provide for an expedited review of any complaints 
     made pursuant to this section;
       ``(2) establish procedures for the Commission to collect 
     such data, including the right to obtain copies of all 
     contracts and documents reflecting arrangements and 
     understandings alleged to violate this section, as the 
     Commission requires to carry out this section; and
       ``(3) provide for any penalties to be assessed against any 
     person filing a frivolous complaint pursuant to this section.
       ``(g) Reports.--The Commission shall, beginning not later 
     than 18 months after promulgation of the regulations required 
     by subsection (c), annually report to Congress on the status 
     of competiton in the market for the delivery of video 
     programming.
       ``(h) Exemptions for Prior Contracts.--
       ``(1) In general.--Nothing in this section shall affect any 
     contract that grants exclusive distribution rights to any 
     person with respect to satellite cable programming and that 
     was entered into on or before June 1, 1990, except that the 
     provisions of subsection (c)(2)(C) shall apply for 
     distribution to persons in areas not served by a cable 
     operator.
       ``(2) Limitation on renewals.--A contract that was entered 
     into on or before June 1, 1990, but that is renewed or 
     extended after the date of enactment of this section shall 
     not be exempt under paragraph (1) of this subsection.
       ``(i) Applicability of Antitrust Laws; No Antitrust 
     Immunity.--Nothing in this section shall be construed to 
     alter or restrict in any manner the applicability of any

  Substitute amendment submitted by Mr. MANTON:

       In lieu of the matter proposed to be inserted by the 
     amendment of the Gentleman from Louisiana insert the 
     following:

     SEC. 11. COMPETITION AND TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT.

       (a) Prohibition on Unreasonable Refusals to Deal.--Part III 
     of title VI of the Communications Act of 1934 is amended by 
     inserting after section 627 (47 U.S.C. 547) the following new 
     section:

     ``SEC. 628. PROGRAMMING ACCESS TO PROMOTE COMPETITION AND 
                   CONTINUING TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT.

       ``(a) Unreasonable Refusals to Deal Prohibited.--Within 180 
     days after the date of enactment of the Cable Television 
     Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1990, the 
     Commission shall, in order to promote competition and 
     diversity in the multichannel video programming market and 
     continuing development of communications technologies, 
     prescribe regulations to prohibit any video programming 
     vendor that controls, is controlled by, or is under common 
     control with a multichannel video system operator and that 
     engages in the regional or national distribution of video 
     programming from refusing to deal with any multichannel video 
     system operator with respect to the provision of video 
     programming if such refusal would unreasonably restrain 
     competition. Entering into or abiding by the terms of an 
     exclusive contract that does not have the effect of 
     unreasonably restraining competition shall not be considered 
     an unreasonable refusal to deal. Nothing contained in this 
     subsection shall require any person who licenses video 
     programming for distribution to make such programming 
     available in any geographic area beyond which such 
     programming has been authorized or licensed for distribution.
       ``(b) Remedies for Violations.--Any multichannel video 
     system operator aggrieved by conduct that it alleges 
     constitutes a violation of the regulations prescribed under 
     this section may commence an adjudicatory proceeding at the 
     Commission. Upon completion of such proceeding, the 
     Commission shall have the power to order appropriate 
     remedies, including, if necessary, the power to establish 
     price, terms, and conditions of sale of programming to the 
     aggrieved multichannel video system operator.
       ``(c) Procedures.--The Commission shall prescribe 
     regulations to implement this section. The Commission's 
     regulations shall--
       ``(1) provide for an expedited review of any complaints 
     made pursuant to this section;
       ``(2) establish procedures for the Commission to collect 
     such data as the Commission requires to carry out this 
     section with respect to exclusive contracts or other 
     practices and their effects on competitors, competition, or 
     the video programming distribution market or on the 
     development of new video distribution technologies; and
       ``(3) provide for penalties to be assessed against any 
     person filing a frivolous complaint pursuant to this section.
       ``(d) Sunset.--The regulations prescribed under subsection 
     (a)(1) of this section shall cease to be effective 9 years 
     after the date of enactment of the Cable Television Consumer 
     Protection and Competition Act of 1992, or on such earlier 
     date as the Commission determines that a competitive national 
     market for the delivery of video programming exists. Such 
     regulations shall cease to be effective for any local market 
     on such earlier date as the Commission determines that a 
     competitive market for the delivery of such programming 
     exists in such local market.
       ``(e) Reports.--The Commission shall, beginning not later 
     than 18 months after promulgation of the regulations required 
     by subsection (a), annually report to Congress on the status 
     of competition in the market for the delivery of video 
     programming.
       ``(f) Exemptions for Prior Contracts.--Nothing in this 
     section shall affect any contract (or renewal or extension of 
     any contract) that grants exclusive distribution rights to 
     any person with respect to video programming and that was 
     entered into on or before June 1, 1990.
       ``(g) Definitions.--
       ``(1) The term `multichannel video system operator' 
     includes an operator of any cable system, multichannel 
     multipoint distribution service, direct broadcast satellite 
     distribution service, television receive-only satellite 
     distribution service, or other comparable system for the 
     distribution of video programming.
       ``(2) The term `video programming vendor'--
       ``(A) means any person who licenses video programming for 
     distribution by any multichannel video system operator;
       ``(B) includes satellite delivered video programming 
     networks and other programming networks and services;
       ``(C) does not include a network or service distributing 
     video programming intended for broadcast by a television 
     station affiliated with a broadcasting network; and
       ``(D) does not include a network or service distributing 
     video programming that is carried as a secondary transmission 
     of a signal broadcast by a television station.
       ``(3) The terms `cable system' and `video programming' have 
     the meanings provided by section 602 of this Act.''.
       (b) Marketing of Certain Satellite Communications.--
       (1) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (A) many satellite-delivered programming services have 
     unnecessarily restricted options for consumers wishing to 
     choose between competing television programming distributors;
       (B) presently 3,000,000 Americans own C-band home satellite 
     television systems and the number is growing at a rate of 
     350,000 to 400,000 each year;
       (C) there is disparity in wholesale pricing between 
     programming services offered to cable operators and to 
     satellite programming distributors;
       (D) independent, noncable third-party packaging of C-band 
     direct broadcast satellite delivered programming will 
     encourage the availability of programming to C-band direct 
     broadcast home satellite television systems; and
       (E) in order to promote the development of direct-to-home 
     satellite service, Congress must act to ensure that video 
     programming vendors provide access on fair and 
     nondiscriminatory terms.
       (2) Amendments.--Section 705 of the Communications Act of 
     1934 (47 U.S.C. 605) is amended--
       (1) by striking subsection (f) as added by section 204 of 
     the Satellite Home Viewer Act of 1988;
       (2) by striking ``subsection (d)'' each place it appears in 
     subsections (d)(6) and (e)(3)(A) and inserting ``subsection 
     (f)'';
       (3) by redesignating subsections (c) through (g) as 
     subsections (d) through (h), respectively;
       (4) by inserting after subsection (b) the following new 
     subsection:
       ``(c)(1) Any person who encrypts any satellite delivered 
     programming shall--
       ``(A) make such programming available for private viewing 
     by home satellite antenna users;
       ``(B) when making such programming available through any 
     other person for distribution through any medium, establish 
     reasonable and nondiscriminatory financial, character, 
     technical, and service criteria and requirements under which 
     noncable distributors shall qualify to distribute such 
     programming for private viewing by home satellite antenna 
     users; and
       ``(C) when making such programming available through any 
     other person for distribution through any medium, establish 
     by the effective date of this subparagraph or January 1, 
     1992, whichever is later, price, terms, and conditions for 
     the wholesale distribution of such programming which do not 
     discriminate between the distribution of such programming to 
     distributors for cable television subscribers and 
     distributors to home satellite antenna users, nor among 
     different distributors to home satellite antenna users, 
     except that this subparagraph shall not prohibit rate 
     differentials which are--
       ``(i) attributable to actual and reasonable differences in 
     the costs of the creation, sale, delivery, or transmission of 
     such programming as between different delivery media;
       ``(ii) attributable to reasonable volume discounts; or
       ``(iii) attributable to bona fide agreements for the 
     distribution of such programming which were in effect prior 
     to the enactment date of this subparagraph.
       ``(2) Where a person who encrypts satellite delivered 
     programming has established a separate subsidiary for 
     distribution to satellite antenna users, such person shall 
     not be required to establish or license any entity on the 
     same terms and conditions as such separate subsidiary; except 
     that for purposes of any claim of discrimination under this 
     section, a party aggrieved may, as evidence of 
     discrimination, compare the prices, terms, and conditions 
     established by the person who encrypts.
       ``(3) Nothing contained in this subsection shall require 
     any person who encrypts satellite delivered programming to 
     authorize or license any distributor for a secondary 
     satellite retransmission of such programming, but, if any 
     person who encrypts satellite delivered programming 
     authorizes or licenses such a distributor, such person shall, 
     consistent with the provisions of paragraph (1)(B) and 
     (1)(C), establish criteria to qualify to distribute such 
     programming through such secondary satellite retransmissions, 
     and further establish nondiscriminatory price, terms, and 
     conditions for such distribution. Nothing contained in this 
     subsection shall require any person who encrypts satellite 
     delivered programming to make such programming available in 
     any geographic area beyond which such programming has been 
     authorized or licensed for distribution.
       ``(4) Any person aggrieved by any violation of paragraph 
     (1)(A) of this subsection may bring a civil action in a 
     United States district court or in any other court of 
     competent jurisdiction. Such court may grant temporary and 
     final injunctions or other equitable relief on such terms as 
     it may deem reasonable and appropriate to prevent or restrain 
     such violations.
       ``(5) Any person aggrieved by any violation of paragraph 
     (1)(B), (1)(C), or (2) of this subsection may bring a civil 
     action in the United States district court or other court of 
     competent jurisdiction. Such court may grant temporary and 
     final injunctions on such terms as it may deem reasonable and 
     appropriate to prevent or restrain such violations; and (i) 
     direct the recovery of damages to a prevailing plaintiff, 
     including actual damages, or statutory damages for all 
     violations in a sum of not more than $500,000, as the court 
     considers just; and (ii) direct the recovery of full costs, 
     including reasonable attorney's fees, to a prevailing party.
       ``(6) As used in this subsection--
       ``(A) the term `satellite delivered programming' means 
     video programming transmitted by a domestic C-band direct 
     broadcast

[[Page 1510]]

     communications satellite intended for reception by cable 
     television systems or home satellite antenna users and does 
     not include any satellite communication of any broadcaster or 
     broadcast network;
       ``(B) the term `home satellite antenna users' means 
     individuals who own or operate C-band direct broadcast 
     satellite television receive-only equipment for the reception 
     of satellite delivered programming for viewing in such 
     individual's single family dwelling unit; and
       ``(C) the term `person who encrypts' means the party who 
     holds the rights to the satellite delivered programming or 
     who establishes the prices, terms, and conditions for the 
     wholesale distribution thereof.
       ``(7) This subsection shall cease to be effective 7 years 
     after the date of enactment of this subsection.''; and
       (5) in subsection (h) (as redesignated) by striking ``, 
     based on the information gathered from the inquiry required 
     by subsection (f),''.
       (3) Effective Date.--The amendments made by paragraph (2) 
     of this subsection shall take effect 90 days after the date 
     of enactment of this Act.

and after some time spent therein,

Para. 88.36  recorded vote

  A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of 
the Whole on the following amendment in the nature of a substitute 
submitted by Mr. LENT:

       Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert the 
     following:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Cable Television Consumer 
     Protection and Competition Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       Section 601 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 
     521) is amended--
       (1) by striking the heading of such section and inserting 
     the following:


                        ``purposes; findings'';

       (2) by inserting ``(a) Purposes.--'' after ``Sec. 601.''; 
     and
       (3) by adding at the end thereof the following new 
     subsection:
       ``(b) Findings.--The Congress finds and declares the 
     following:
       ``(1) Fair competition in the delivery of television 
     programming should foster the greatest possible choice of 
     programming and should result in lower prices for consumers.
       ``(2) Between the passage of the Cable Communications 
     Policy Act of 1984 and July 1990, rates for cable television 
     services have been deregulated in 97 percent of all 
     franchises. The deregulation has resulted in the provision of 
     diverse and quality programming to over 52,000,000 Americans. 
     A minority of cable operators, however, have abused their 
     deregulated status and their market power and have 
     unreasonably raised cable subscriber rates.
       ``(3) In order to protect consumers, it is necessary for 
     the Congress to establish a means for the Federal 
     Communications Commission to ensure that, where there is no 
     effective competition, cable operators provide basic service 
     at reasonable rates.
       ``(4) There is a substantial governmental and first 
     amendment interest in promoting a diversity of views provided 
     through multiple technology media.
       ``(5) The Federal Government has a compelling interest in 
     making all nonduplicative local public television services 
     available on cable systems because--
       ``(A) public television provides educational and 
     informational programming to the Nation's citizens, thereby 
     advancing the Government's compelling interest in educating 
     its citizens;
       ``(B) public television is a local community institution, 
     supported through local tax dollars and voluntary citizen 
     contributions in excess of $10,800,000,000 between 1972 and 
     1990 that provides public service programming that is 
     responsive to the needs and interests of the local community;
       ``(C) the Federal Government, in recognition of public 
     television's integral role in serving the educational and 
     informational needs of local communities, has invested more 
     than $3,000,000,000 in public broadcasting between 1969 and 
     1990; and
       ``(D) absent carriage requirements there is a substantial 
     likelihood that citizens, who have supported local public 
     television services, will be deprived of those services.
       ``(6) The Federal Government also has a compelling interest 
     in having cable systems carry the signals of local commercial 
     television stations because the carriage of such signals--
       ``(A) promotes localism and provides a significant source 
     of news, public affairs, and educational programming;
       ``(B) is necessary to serve the goals contained in section 
     307(b) of this Act of providing a fair, efficient, and 
     equitable distribution of broadcast services; and
       ``(C) will enhance the access to such signals by Americans 
     living in areas where the quality of reception of broadcast 
     stations is poor.
       ``(7) Broadcast television programming is supported by 
     revenues generated from advertising. Such programming is 
     otherwise free to those who own television sets and do not 
     require cable transmission to receive broadcast signals. 
     There is a substantial governmental interest in promoting the 
     continued availability of such free television programming, 
     especially for viewers who are unable

[[Page 1512]]

     to afford other means of receiving programming.
       ``(8) Because television broadcasters and cable television 
     operators compete directly for the television viewing 
     audience, for programming material, and for advertising 
     revenue, in order to ensure that such competition is fair and 
     operates to the benefit of consumers, the Federal interest 
     requires that local broadcast stations be made available on 
     cable systems as a separate and distinct purchase option for 
     subscribers.
       ``(9) Most subscribers to cable television systems do not 
     or cannot maintain antennas to receive broadcast television 
     services, do not have input selector switches to convert from 
     a cable to antenna reception system, or cannot otherwise 
     receive broadcast television services. A Government mandate 
     for a substantial societal investment in alternative 
     distribution systems for cable subscribers, such as the `A/B' 
     input selector antenna system, is not an enduring or feasible 
     method of distribution and is not in the public interest.
       ``(10) Cable systems should be encouraged to carry low 
     power television stations licensed to the communities served 
     by those systems where the low power station creates and 
     broadcasts, as a substantial part of its programming day, 
     local programming.
       ``(11) Secure carriage and channel positioning on cable 
     television systems are the most effective means through which 
     off-air broadcast television can access cable subscribers. In 
     the absence of rules mandating carriage and channel 
     positioning of broadcast television stations, some cable 
     system operators have denied carriage or repositioned the 
     carriage of some television stations.
       ``(12) Cable television systems and broadcast television 
     stations increasingly compete for television advertising 
     revenues and audience. A cable system has a direct financial 
     interest in promoting those channels on which it sells 
     advertising or owns programming. As a result, there is an 
     economic incentive for cable systems to deny carriage to 
     local broadcast signals, or to reposition broadcast signals 
     to disadvantageous channel positions, or both. Absent 
     reimposition of must carry and channel positioning 
     requirements, such activity could occur, thereby threatening 
     diversity, economic competition, and the Federal television 
     broadcast allocation structure in local markets across the 
     country.
       ``(13) Cable systems provide the most effective access to 
     television households that subscribe to cable. As a result of 
     the cable operators provision of this access and the 
     operator's economic incentives described in paragraph (12), 
     negotiations between cable operators and local broadcast 
     stations have not been an effective mechanism for securing 
     carriage and channel positioning.
       ``(14) The public interest will be served by the 
     development of competition in the marketplace for video 
     programming and by encouraging new multichannel video 
     programming distribution technologies. Prohibiting video 
     program vendors in which a multichannel video system operator 
     has controlling interest from unreasonably refusing to deal 
     with other multichannel video system operators with respect 
     to provision of video programming is necessary to help 
     establish a competitive marketplace.
       ``(15) It is necessary and appropriate to promote 
     competition between cable operators and other multichannel 
     video system operators by facilitating access of such other 
     multichannel video system operators to video programming, 
     subject to exclusive contractual arrangements between 
     programmers and cable operators that do not have the effect 
     of significantly impeding competition.''.

     SEC. 3. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PROVISION AND REGULATION OF 
                   BASIC SERVICE TIER.

       (a) Amendment.--Section 623 of the Communications Act of 
     1934 is amended to read as follows:

     ``SEC. 623. REGULATION OF RATES.

       ``(a) In General; Limitations.--No Federal agency or State 
     may regulate the rates for the provision of cable service 
     except to the extent provided under this section. Any 
     franchising authority may regulate the rates for the 
     provision of cable service, or any other communications 
     service provided over a cable system to cable subscribers, 
     but only to the extent provided under this section.
       ``(b) Preference for Competition.--If the Commission finds 
     that a cable system is subject to effective competition, the 
     rates for the provision of cable service by such system shall 
     not be subject to regulation by the Commission or by a State 
     or franchising authority under this section. If the 
     Commission finds that a cable system is not subject to 
     effective competition, the rates for the provision of basic 
     cable service shall be subject to regulation under subsection 
     (c) of this section.
       ``(c) Establishment of Basic Service Tier Rate 
     Limitations.--
       ``(1) Commission regulations.--Within 120 days after the 
     date of enactment of the Cable Television Consumer Protection 
     and Competition Act of 1992, the Commission shall, by 
     regulation, establish the following:
       ``(A) Basic service tier rates.--A formula to establish the 
     maximum price of the basic service tier, which formula--
       ``(i) shall take into account only--

       ``(I) the number of signals required to be carried on the 
     basic service tier pursuant to paragraph (2);
       ``(II) the direct costs of obtaining, transmitting, and 
     otherwise providing such signals, and changes in such costs;
       ``(III) such portion of the joint and common costs of the 
     cable operator as is determined, in accordance with 
     regulations prescribed by the Commission, to be properly 
     allocable to obtaining, transmitting, and otherwise providing 
     such signals, and changes in such costs; and
       ``(IV) a reasonable profit (as defined by the Commission) 
     on the provision of the basic service tier; and

       ``(ii) shall not take into account--

       ``(I) any additional video programming services carried on 
     the basic service tier pursuant to paragraph (4);
       ``(II) any costs of obtaining, transmitting, marketing, or 
     otherwise providing any such additional video programming 
     services or any other signal not required to be carried on 
     the basic service tier pursuant to paragraph (2);
       ``(III) any amount assessed as a franchise fee, tax, or 
     charge of any kind imposed by any State or local authority on 
     the transactions between cable operators and cable 
     subscribers or any fee, tax, or assessment of general 
     applicability which is applied in an unduly discriminatory 
     manner against cable operators or cable subscribers; or
       ``(IV) any amount required to satisfy franchise 
     requirements to support public, educational, or governmental 
     channels or the use of such channels.

       ``(B) Equipment.--A formula to establish the price for 
     installation and lease of the equipment necessary for 
     subscribers to receive the basic service tier, including a 
     converter box and a remote control. Such formula shall not 
     apply unless the franchising authority certifies that 
     compatible converter boxes or remote control units are not 
     available locally from retail equipment vendors not 
     affiliated with the cable system.
       ``(C) Converter boxes and remotes.--Standards concerning 
     the availability for lease or purchase and pricing of 
     converter boxes and remote controls.
       ``(D) Costs of franchise requirements.--(i) A formula to 
     identify and allocate costs attributable to satisfying 
     franchise requirements to support public, educational, and 
     governmental channels or the use of such channels or any 
     other services required under the franchise, and (ii) 
     procedures by which the cable operator will recover from 
     subscribers--
       ``(I) the costs described in clause (i) of this 
     subparagraph, and
       ``(II) the costs of any amounts assessed as a franchise 
     fee, tax, or charge of any kind imposed by any State or local 
     authority on the transactions between cable operators and 
     cable subscribers and any fee, tax, or assessment of general 
     applicability which is applied in an unduly discriminatory 
     manner against cable operators or cable subscribers.
       ``(E) Implementation and enforcement.--Additional 
     standards, guidelines, and procedures concerning the 
     implementation and enforcement of the regulations prescribed 
     by the Commission under this subsection, which shall 
     include--
       ``(i) procedures by which cable operators may implement and 
     franchising authorities may oversee the administration of the 
     formulas, standards, guidelines, and procedures established 
     by the Commission under this subsection; and
       ``(ii) standards and procedures to prevent unreasonable 
     charges for changes in the subscriber's selection of services 
     or equipment subject to regulation under this section, which 
     standards shall require that charges for changing the service 
     tier selected shall not exceed nominal amounts when the 
     system's configuration permits changes in service tier 
     selection to be effected solely by coded entry on a computer 
     terminal or by other similarly simple method.
       ``(F) Effective dates.--An effective date or dates for 
     compliance with the formulas, standards, guidelines, and 
     procedures established under this subsection.
       ``(2) Components of basic tier subject to rate 
     regulation.--Each cable operator of a cable system shall 
     provide its subscribers a separately available basic service 
     tier to which the rates prescribed under paragraph (1) shall 
     apply and to which subscription is required for access to all 
     other tiers of service. Such basic service tier shall, except 
     as provided in paragraphs (3), (4), (5), and (6), consist 
     only of the following:
       ``(A) All signals carried in fulfillment of the 
     requirements of sections 614 and 615.
       ``(B) Any public, educational, and governmental access 
     programming required by the franchise of the cable system to 
     be provided to subscribers.
       ``(3) Small system exception.--The requirements of this 
     subsection shall not apply to--
       ``(A) any cable system with 12 or fewer usable activated 
     channels that has 300 or fewer subscribers, or
       ``(B) if the Commission grants a waiver to the system upon 
     a showing that the system lacks the technical or economic 
     means to create a separately available basic tier,
     so long as such system does not delete any signal of a 
     broadcast television station from carriage by that system.
       ``(4) Additions to basic tier prohibited.--
       ``(A) Prohibition.--No cable operator may add any video 
     programming to the basic tier that is not a signal or 
     programming required to be included in such tier pursuant to 
     paragraph (2). Any obligation imposed by a franchise that is 
     inconsistent with this paragraph is preempted and may not be 
     enforced. A contract or other agreement that requires 
     carriage on the basic service tier, or that establishes a 
     rate for carriage (as part of the basic service tier), of a 
     signal or program-

[[Page 1513]]

     ming that is not required to be included in such tier 
     pursuant to paragraph (2) may not be enforced by a video 
     programming vendor (as such term is defined in section 
     705A(g) of this Act) unless such contract or agreement is 
     applied to require carriage of such signal or programming on 
     the next most widely subscribed level of service.
       ``(B) Exception.--Subparagraph (A) of this paragraph and 
     paragraph (2) shall not prohibit a cable operator that does 
     not have available for carriage pursuant to section 614 a 
     qualified local commercial affiliate of a commercial 
     broadcast network (as defined by the Commission regulation 
     73.3613(a)(1) (47 C.F.R. 73.3613(a)(1))), from carrying on 
     the basic tier a channel that includes the video programming 
     of that network.
       ``(5) Rate regulation agreements.--During the term of an 
     agreement made before July 1, 1990, by a franchising 
     authority and a cable operator providing for the regulation 
     of basic cable service rates, where there was not effective 
     competition under Commission rules in effect on that date, 
     nothing in this section (or the regulations thereunder) shall 
     abridge the ability of such franchising authority to regulate 
     rates in accordance with such an agreement.
       ``(6) Treatment of existing broadcast tiers.--
       ``(A) Continued carriage permitted.--In the case of any 
     cable operator that offered to subscribers a tier of 
     programming as of January 1, 1992, consisting of not more 
     than--
       ``(i) the signals of any broadcast television station 
     carried on the system; and
       ``(ii) any public, educational, or governmental access or 
     local origination programming;
     the provisions of paragraphs (2) and (4) of this subsection 
     shall not prohibit such operator from continuing to provide 
     such tier.
       ``(B) Rate formula adjustment; retiering.--Any cable 
     operator providing a tier of programming described in 
     subparagraph (A) may--
       ``(i) continue to provide such tier to subscribers, subject 
     to a formula for a maximum price established by the 
     Commission, which formula shall comply with the requirements 
     of paragraph (1), except that the Commission shall take into 
     account additional costs described in subclauses (II) and 
     (III) of paragraph (1)(A)(i) with respect to the signal of 
     any broadcast television station not required by paragraph 
     (2) to be offered on the basic service tier; or
       ``(ii) delete such programming from the tier described in 
     subparagraph (A) as may be necessary to comply with the 
     requirements of this subsection.
       ``(d) Discrimination; Services for the Hearing Impaired.--
     Nothing in this title shall be construed as prohibiting any 
     Federal agency, State, or a franchising authority from--
       ``(1) prohibiting discrimination among customers of basic 
     cable service, or
       ``(2) requiring and regulating the installation or rental 
     of equipment which facilitates the reception of basic cable 
     service by hearing impaired individuals.
       ``(e) Review of Financial Information.--
       ``(1) Collection of information.--The Commission shall, by 
     regulation, require cable operators to file, within 60 days 
     after the effective date of the regulations prescribed under 
     subsection (c)(1) and annually thereafter, such financial 
     information as may be needed for purposes of administering 
     and enforcing this section.
       ``(2) Congressional report.--The Commission shall submit to 
     each House of the Congress, by January 1, 1994, a report on 
     the financial condition, profitability, rates, and 
     performance of the cable industry and making such 
     recommendations as the Commission considers appropriate in 
     light of such information.
       ``(f) Definitions.--As used in this section--
       ``(1) The term `effective competition' means that--
       ``(A) fewer than 30 percent of the households in the 
     franchise area subscribe to the cable service of a cable 
     system; or
       ``(B) the franchise area is--
       ``(i) served by at least two unaffiliated multichannel 
     video programming distributors each of which offers 
     comparable video programming to at least 50 percent of the 
     households in the franchise area; and
       ``(ii) the number of households subscribing to programming 
     services offered by multichannel video programming 
     distributors other than the largest multichannel video 
     programming distributor exceeds 15 percent of the households 
     in the franchise area.
       ``(2) The term `cable programming service' means any video 
     programming provided over a cable system, regardless of 
     service tier, other than video programming required to be 
     carried under subsection (c)(2) and video programming offered 
     on a per channel or per program basis.''.
       (b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by subsection (a) 
     of this section shall take effect 120 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act.

     SEC. 4. UNREASONABLE REFUSALS TO FRANCHISE PROHIBITED.

       Section 621(a) of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 
     541(a)) is amended by adding at the end thereof the 
     following:
       ``(4) A franchising authority shall not, in the awarding of 
     franchises within its jurisdiction, grant an exclusive 
     franchise, or unreasonably refuse to award additional 
     franchises because of the previous award of a franchise to 
     another cable operator. For purposes of this paragraph, 
     refusal to award a franchise shall not be unreasonable if, 
     for example, such refusal is on the ground--
       ``(A) of technical infeasibility;
       ``(B) of inadequate assurance that the cable operator will 
     provide adequate public, educational and governmental access 
     channel capacity, facilities, or financial support;
       ``(C) of inadequate assurance that the cable operator will, 
     within a reasonable period of time, provide universal service 
     throughout the entire franchise area under the jurisdiction 
     of the franchising authority;
       ``(D) that such award would interfere with the right of the 
     franchising authority to deny renewal; or
       ``(E) of inadequate assurance that the cable operator has 
     the financial, technical, or legal qualifications to provide 
     cable service.
       ``(5) Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as 
     limiting the authority of local governments to assess fees or 
     taxes for access to public rights of way.''.

     SEC. 5. CARRIAGE OF LOCAL COMMERCIAL TELEVISION SIGNALS.

       Part II of title VI of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 
     U.S.C. 531 et seq.) is amended by inserting after section 613 
     the following new section:

     ``SEC. 614. CARRIAGE OF LOCAL COMMERCIAL TELEVISION SIGNALS.

       ``(a) Carriage Obligations.--Each cable operator shall 
     carry, on the cable system of that operator, the signals of 
     local commercial television stations as provided by the 
     following provisions of this section. Carriage of additional 
     broadcast television signals on such system shall be at the 
     discretion of such operator, subject to section 325(b).
       ``(b) Signals Required.--
       ``(1) In general.--(A) A cable operator of a cable system 
     with 12 or fewer usable activated channels shall carry the 
     signals of at least three local commercial television 
     stations, except that if such a system has 300 or fewer 
     subscribers, it shall not be subject to any requirements 
     under this section so long as such system does not delete 
     from carriage by that system any signal of a broadcast 
     television station.
       ``(B) A cable operator of a cable system with more than 12 
     usable activated channels shall carry the signals of local 
     commercial television stations up to 33 percent of the 
     aggregate number of usable activated channels of such system.
       ``(2) Selection of signals.--Whenever the number of local 
     commercial television stations exceeds the maximum number of 
     signals a cable system is required to carry under paragraph 
     (1), the cable operator shall have discretion in selecting 
     which such signals shall be carried on its cable system, 
     except that if the cable operator elects to carry an 
     affiliate of a broadcast network (as such term is defined by 
     the Commission by regulation), such cable operator shall 
     carry the affiliate of such broadcast network whose city of 
     license reference point, as defined in section 76.53 of title 
     47, Code of Federal Regulations (in effect on January 1, 
     1991), or any successor regulation thereto, is closest to the 
     principal headend of the cable system.
       ``(3) Content to be carried.--(A) A cable operator shall 
     carry in its entirety, on the cable system of that operator, 
     the primary video, accompanying audio transmission, and line 
     21 closed caption of each of the local commercial television 
     stations carried on the cable system and, to the extent 
     technically feasible, program-related material carried in the 
     vertical blanking interval or on subcarriers. Retransmission 
     of other material in the vertical blanking internal or other 
     nonprogram-related material (including teletext and other 
     subscription and advertiser-supported information services) 
     shall be at the discretion of the cable operator. Where 
     appropriate and feasible, operators may delete signal 
     enhancements, such as ghost-canceling, from the broadcast 
     signal and employ such enhancements at the system headend or 
     headends.
       ``(B) The cable operator shall carry the entirety of the 
     program schedule of any television station carried on the 
     cable system unless carriage of specific programming is 
     prohibited, and other programming authorized to be 
     substituted, under section 76.67 or subpart F of part 76 of 
     title 47, Code of Federal Regulations (as in effect on 
     January 1, 1991), or any successor regulations thereto.
       ``(4) Signal quality.--
       ``(A) Nondegradation; technical specifications.--The 
     signals of local commercial television stations that a cable 
     operator carries shall be carried without material 
     degradation. The Commission shall adopt carriage standards to 
     ensure that, to the extent technically feasible, the quality 
     of signal processing and carriage provided by a cable system 
     for the carriage of local commercial television stations will 
     be no less than that provided by the system for carriage of 
     any other type of signal.
       ``(B) Advanced television.--At such time as the Commission 
     prescribes modifications of the standards for television 
     broadcast signals, the Commission shall initiate a proceeding 
     to establish any changes in the signal carriage requirements 
     of cable television systems necessary to ensure cable 
     carriage of such broadcast signals of local commercial 
     television stations which have been changed to conform with 
     such modified standards.
       ``(C) Signal quality responsibilities of station.--
     Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section, a cable 
     operator shall not be required to carry any qualified local 
     noncommercial television station which does not deliver to 
     the cable system's principal headend a signal of good 
     quality, as may be defined by the Commission by regulation.

[[Page 1514]]

       ``(5) Duplication not required.--Notwithstanding paragraph 
     (1), a cable operator shall not be required to carry the 
     signal of any local commercial television station that 
     substantially duplicates the signal of another local 
     commercial television station which is carried on its cable 
     system, or to carry the signals of more than one local 
     commercial television station affiliated with a particular 
     broadcast network (as such term is defined by regulation). If 
     a cable operator elects to carry on its cable system a signal 
     which substantially duplicates the signal of another local 
     commercial television station carried on the cable system, or 
     to carry on its system the signals of more than one local 
     commercial television station affiliated with a particular 
     broadcast network, all such signals shall be counted toward 
     the number of signals the operator is required to carry under 
     paragraph (1).
       ``(6) Channel positioning.--
       ``(A) In general.--Except as provided in subparagraph (B), 
     each signal carried in fulfillment of the carriage 
     obligations of a cable operator under this section shall be 
     carried on the cable system channel number on which the local 
     commercial television station is broadcast over the air, or 
     on the channel on which it was carried on July 19, 1985, or 
     on the channel on which it was carried on January 2, 1992, at 
     the election of the station, or on such other channel number 
     as is mutually agreed upon by the station and the cable 
     operator.
       ``(B) Exception.--A cable operator may make a single 
     election to carry all the signals of qualified local 
     commercial television stations carried in fulfillment of the 
     requirements of this section on channel numbers 2 through 13, 
     inclusive. The channel position of any qualified local 
     commercial television station carried on channels 2 through 
     13, inclusive, on July 19, 1985, or January 2, 1990, shall 
     not be changed under this subparagraph without the consent of 
     the station.
       ``(C) Disputes.--Any dispute regarding the positioning of a 
     local commercial television station shall be resolved by the 
     Commission.
       ``(7) Signal availability.--Signals carried in fulfillment 
     of the requirements of this section shall be provided to 
     every subscriber of a cable system. Such signals shall be 
     viewable via cable on all television receivers of a 
     subscriber which are connected to a cable system by a cable 
     operator or for which a cable operator provides a connection. 
     If a cable operator authorizes subscribers to install 
     additional receiver connections, but does not provide the 
     subscriber with such connections, or with the equipment and 
     materials for such connections, the operator shall notify 
     such subscribers of all broadcast stations carried on the 
     cable system which cannot be viewed via cable without a 
     converter box and shall offer to sell or lease such a 
     converter box to such subscribers at reasonable rates.
       ``(8) Identification of signals carried.--A cable operator 
     shall identify, upon request by any person, the signals 
     carried on its system in fulfillment of the requirements of 
     this section.
       ``(9) Notification.--A cable operator shall provide written 
     notice to a local commercial television station at least 30 
     days prior to either deleting from carriage or repositioning 
     that station. No deletion or repositioning of a local 
     commercial television station shall occur during a period in 
     which major television ratings services measure the size of 
     audiences of local television stations. The notifications 
     provisions of this paragraph shall not be used to undermine 
     or evade the channel positioning or carriage requirements 
     imposed upon cable operators under this section.
       ``(10) Compensation for carriage.--A cable operator shall 
     not accept or request monetary payment or other valuable 
     consideration in exchange either for carriage of local 
     commercial television stations in fulfillment of the 
     requirements of this section or for the channel positioning 
     rights provided to such stations under this section, except 
     that--
       ``(A) any such station may be required to bear the costs 
     associated with delivering a good quality signal to the 
     headend of the cable system;
       ``(B) a cable operator may accept payments from stations 
     which would be considered distant signals under section 111 
     of title 17, United States Code, as reimbursement for the 
     incremental copyright costs assessed against such cable 
     operator for carriage of such signal; and
       ``(C) a cable operator may continue to accept monetary 
     payment or other valuable consideration in exchange for 
     carriage or channel positioning of the signal of any local 
     commercial television station carried in fulfillment of the 
     requirements of this section, through, but not beyond, the 
     date of expiration of an agreement thereon between a cable 
     operator and a local commercial television station entered 
     into prior to June 26, 1990.
       ``(c) Remedies.--
       ``(1) Complaints by broadcast stations.--Whenever a local 
     commercial television station believes that a cable operator 
     has failed to meet its obligations under this section, such 
     station shall notify the operator, in writing, of the alleged 
     failure and identify its reasons for believing that the cable 
     operator is obligated to carry the signal of such station or 
     has otherwise failed to comply with the channel positioning 
     or repositioning or other requirements of this section. The 
     cable operator shall, within 30 days of such written 
     notification, respond in writing to such notification and 
     either commence to carry the signal of such station in 
     accordance with the terms requested or state its reasons for 
     believing that it is not obligated to carry such signal or is 
     in compliance with the channel positioning and repositioning 
     requirements of this section. A local commercial television 
     station that is denied carriage or channel positioning or 
     repositioning in accordance with this section by a cable 
     operator may obtain review of such denial by filing a 
     complaint with the Commission. Such complaint shall allege 
     the manner in which such cable operator has failed to meet 
     its obligations and the basis for such allegations.
       ``(2) Opportunity to respond.--The Commission shall afford 
     such cable operator an opportunity to present data and 
     arguments to establish that there has been no failure to meet 
     its obligations under this section.
       ``(3) Remedial actions; dismissal.--Within 120 days after 
     the date a complaint is filed, the Commission shall determine 
     whether the cable operator has met its obligations under this 
     section. If the Commission determines that the cable operator 
     has failed to meet such obligations, the Commission shall 
     order the cable operator to reposition the complaining 
     station or, in the case of an obligation to carry a station, 
     to commence carriage of the station and to continue such 
     carriage for at least 12 months. If the Commission determines 
     that the cable operator has fully met the requirements of 
     this section, it shall dismiss the complaint.
       ``(d) Input Selector Switch Rules Abolished.--No cable 
     operator shall be required--
       ``(1) to provide or make available any input selector 
     switch as defined in section 76.5(mm) of title 47, Code of 
     Federal Regulations, or any comparable device, or
       ``(2) to provide information to subscribers about input 
     selector switches or comparable devices.
       ``(e) Regulations by Commission.--Within 180 days after the 
     date of enactment of this Act, the Commission shall, 
     following a rulemaking proceeding, issue regulations 
     implementing the requirements imposed by this section.
       ``(f) Definition.--(1) For purposes of this section, the 
     term `local commercial television station' means any 
     television broadcast station, determined by the Commission to 
     be a commercial station, licensed and operating on a channel 
     regularly assigned to its community by the Commission that, 
     with respect to a particular cable system, is within the same 
     television market as the cable system. If such a television 
     broadcast station--
       ``(A) would be considered a distant signal under section 
     111 of title 17, United States Code, it shall be deemed to be 
     a local commercial television station upon agreement to 
     reimburse the cable operator for the incremental copyright 
     costs assessed against such operator as a result of being 
     carried on the cable system; or
       ``(B) does not deliver to the principal headend of a cable 
     system either a signal level of -45dBm for UHF signals or 
     -49dBm for VHF signals at the input terminals of the signal 
     processing equipment, it shall be responsible for the costs 
     of delivering to the cable system a signal of good quality or 
     a baseband video signal.
       ``(2) The term `local commercial television station' shall 
     not include low power television stations, television 
     translator stations, and passive repeaters which operate 
     pursuant to part 74 of title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, 
     or any successor regulations thereto.
       ``(3) For purposes of this section, a broadcasting 
     station's market shall be defined as specified in section 
     73.3555 of title 47, Code of Federal Regulations as in effect 
     on May 1, 1991, except that, following a written request, the 
     Commission may, with respect to a particular television 
     broadcast station, include or exclude communities from such 
     station's television market to better effectuate the purposes 
     of this section.''.

     U.S.C. 531 et seq.) is further amended by inserting after 
     section 614, as added by section 4, the following new 
     section:

     ``SEC. 615. CARRIAGE OF NONCOMMERCIAL EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION

       ``(a) Carriage Obligations.--In addition to the carriage 
     requirements set forth in section 614, each operator of a 
     cable system (hereinafter in this section referred to as an 
     `operator') shall carry the signals of qualified 
     noncommercial educational television stations in accordance 
     with the provisions of this section.
       ``(b) Requirements To Carry Qualified Stations.--
       ``(1) General requirement to carry each qualified 
     station.--Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3) and subsection 
     (e), each operator shall carry, on the cable system of that 
     operator, each qualified local noncommercial educational 
     television station requesting carriage.
       ``(2)(A) Systems with 12 or fewer channels.--
     Notwithstanding paragraph (1), an operator of a cable system 
     with 12 or fewer usable activated channels shall be required 
     to carry the signal of one qualified local noncommercial 
     educational television station; except that an operator of 
     such a system shall comply with subsection (c) and may, in 
     its discretion, carry the signals of other qualified 
     noncommercial educational television stations.
       ``(B) In the case of a cable system described in 
     subparagraph (A) which operates beyond the presence of any 
     qualified local noncommercial educational television 
     station--

[[Page 1515]]

       ``(i) the operator shall carry on that system the signal of 
     one qualified noncommercial educational television station;
       ``(ii) the selection for carriage of such a signal shall be 
     at the election of the operator; and
       ``(iii) in order to satisfy the requirements for carriage 
     specified in this subsection, the operator of the system 
     shall not be required to remove any other programming service 
     actually provided to subscribers on March 29, 1990; except 
     that such operator shall use the first channel available to 
     satisfy the requirements of this subparagraph.
       ``(3) Systems with 13 to 36 channels.--(A) Subject to 
     subsection (c), an operator of a cable system with 13 to 36 
     usable activated channels--
       ``(i) shall carry the signal of at least one qualified 
     local noncommercial educational television station but shall 
     not be required to carry the signals of more than three such 
     stations, and
       ``(ii) may, in its discretion, carry additional such 
     stations.
       ``(B) In the case of a cable system described in this 
     paragraph which operates beyond the presence of any qualified 
     local noncommercial educational television station, the 
     operator shall import the signal of at least one qualified 
     noncommercial educational television station to comply with 
     subparagraph (A)(i).
       ``(C) The operator of a cable system described in this 
     paragraph which carries the signal of a qualified local 
     noncommercial educational station affiliated with a State 
     public television network shall not be required to carry the 
     signal of any additional qualified local noncommercial 
     educational television stations affiliated with the same 
     network if the programming of such additional stations is 
     substantially duplicated by the programming of the qualified 
     local noncommercial educational television station receiving 
     carriage.
       ``(D) An operator of a system described in subparagraph (A) 
     which increases the usable activated channel capacity of the 
     system to more than 36 channels on or after March 29, 1990 
     shall, in accordance with the other provisions of this 
     section, carry the signal of each qualified local 
     noncommercial educational television station requesting 
     carriage, subject to subsection (e).
       ``(c) Continued Carriage of Existing Stations.--
     Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, all 
     operators shall continue to provide carriage to all qualified 
     local noncommercial educational television stations whose 
     signals were carried on their systems as of March 29, 1990. 
     The requirements of this subsection may be waived with 
     respect to a particular operator and a particular such 
     station, upon the written consent of the operator and the 
     station.
       ``(d) Placement of Additional Signals.--An operator 
     required to add the signals of qualified local noncommercial 
     educational television stations to a cable system under this 
     section may do so by placing such additional stations on 
     public, educational, or governmental channels not in use for 
     their designated purposes.
       ``(e) Systems With More Than 36 Channels.--An operator of a 
     cable system with a capacity of more than 36 usable activated 
     channels which is required to carry the signals of three 
     qualified local noncommercial educational television stations 
     shall not be required to carry the signals of additional such 
     stations the programming of which substantially duplicates 
     the programming broadcast by another qualified local 
     noncommercial educational television station requesting 
     carriage. Substantial duplication shall be defined by the 
     Commission in a manner that promotes access to distinctive 
     noncommercial educational television services.
       ``(f) Waiver of Nonduplication Rights.--A qualified local 
     noncommercial educational television station whose signal is 
     carried by an operator shall not assert any network 
     nonduplication rights it may have pursuant to section 76.92 
     of title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, to require the 
     deletion of programs aired on other qualified local 
     noncommercial educational television stations whose signals 
     are carried by that operator.
       ``(g) Conditions of Carriage.--
       ``(1) Content to be carried.--An operator shall retransmit 
     in its entirety the primary video and accompanying audio 
     transmission of each qualified local noncommercial 
     educational television station whose signal is carried on the 
     cable system, and, to the extent technically feasible, 
     program-related material carried in the vertical blanking 
     interval, or on subcarriers, that may be necessary for 
     receipt of programming by handicapped persons or for 
     educational or language purposes. Retransmission of other 
     material in the vertical blanking interval or on subcarriers 
     shall be within the discretion of the operator.
       ``(2) An operator shall provide each qualified local 
     noncommercial educational television station whose signal is 
     carried in accordance with this section with bank-width and 
     technical capacity equivalent to that provided to commercial 
     television broadcast stations carried on the cable system and 
     shall carry the signal of each qualified local noncommercial 
     educational television station without material degradation.
       ``(3) Changes in carriage.--The signal of a qualified local 
     noncommercial educational television station shall not be 
     repositioned by an operator unless the operator, at least 30 
     days in advance of such repositioning, has provided written 
     notice to the station and all subscribers of the cable 
     system. For purposes of this paragraph, repositioning 
     includes (A) assignment of a qualified local noncommercial 
     educational television station to a cable system channel 
     number different from the cable system channel number to 
     which the station was assigned as of March 29, 1990, and (B) 
     deletion of the station from the cable system.
       ``(4) Good quality signal required.--Notwithstanding the 
     other provisions of this section, an operator shall not be 
     required to carry the signal of any qualified local 
     noncommercial educational television station which does not 
     deliver to the cable system's principal headend a signal of 
     good quality, as may be defined by the Commission.
       ``(5) Channel positioning.--Each signal carried in 
     fulfillment of the carriage obligations of a cable operator 
     under this section shall be carried on the cable system 
     channel number on which the local commercial television 
     station is broadcast over the air, or on the channel on which 
     it was carried on July 19, 1985, at the election of the 
     station, or on such other channel number as is mutually 
     agreed upon by the station and the cable operator. Any 
     dispute regarding the positioning of a local commercial 
     television station shall be resolved by the Commission.
       ``(h) Availability of Signals.--Signals carried in 
     fulfillment of the carriage obligations of an operator under 
     this section shall be available to every subscriber as part 
     of the cable system's lowest priced service tier that 
     includes the retransmission of local television broadcast 
     signals.
       ``(i) Payment for Carriage.--
       ``(1) An operator shall not accept monetary payment or 
     other valuable consideration in exchange for carriage of the 
     signal of any qualified local noncommercial educational 
     television station carried in fulfillment of the requirements 
     of this section, except that such a station may be required 
     to bear the cost associated with delivering a good quality 
     signal to the principal headend of the cable system.
       ``(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, an 
     operator shall not be required to add the signal of a 
     qualified local noncommercial educational television station 
     not already carried under the provision of subsection (c), 
     where such signal would be considered a distant signal for 
     copyright purposes unless such station reimburses the 
     operator for the incremental copyright costs assessed against 
     such operator as a result of such carriage.
     ``(j) Remedies.--
       ``(1) Complaint.--Whenever a qualified local noncommercial 
     educational television station believes that an operator of a 
     cable system has failed to comply with the signal carriage 
     requirements of this section, the station may file a 
     complaint with the Commission. Such complaint shall allege 
     the manner in which such operator has failed to comply with 
     such requirements and state the basis for such allegations.
       ``(2) Opportunity to respond.--The Commission shall afford 
     such operator an opportunity to present data, views, and 
     arguments to establish that the operator has complied with 
     the signal carriage requirements of this section.
       ``(3) Remedial actions; dismissal.--Within 120 days after 
     the date a complaint is filed under this subsection, the 
     Commission shall determine whether the operator has complied 
     with the requirements of this section. If the Commission 
     determines that the operator has failed to comply with such 
     requirements, the Commission shall state with particularity 
     the basis for such findings and order the operator to take 
     such remedial action as is necessary to meet such 
     requirements. If the Commission determines that the operator 
     has fully complied with such requirements, the Commission 
     shall dismiss the complaint.
       ``(k) Identification of Signals.--An operator shall 
     identify, upon request by any person, those signals carried 
     in fulfillment of the requirements of this section.
       ``(l) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--
       ``(1) Qualified noncommercial educational television 
     station.--The term `qualified noncommercial educational 
     television station' means any television broadcast station 
     which--
       ``(A)(i) under the rules and regulations of the Commission 
     in effect on March 29, 1990, is licensed by the Commission as 
     a noncommercial educational television broadcast station and 
     which is owned and operated by a public agency, nonprofit 
     foundation, corporation, or association; or
       ``(ii) is owned and operated by a municipality and 
     transmits only noncommercial programs for educational 
     purposes; and
       ``(B) has as its licensee an entity which is eligible to 
     receive a community service grant, or any successor grant 
     thereto, from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, or any 
     successor organization thereto, on the basis of the formula 
     set forth in section 396(k)(6)(B) (47 U.S.C. 396(k)(6)(B));

     such term includes (I) the translator of any noncommercial 
     educational television station with five watts or higher 
     power serving the franchise area, (II) a full-service station 
     or translator if such station or translator is licensed to a 
     channel reserved for noncommercial educational use pursuant 
     to section 73.606 of title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, 
     or any successor regulations thereto, and (III) such stations 
     and translators operating on channels not so reserved as the 
     Commission determines are qualified as noncommercial 
     educational stations.

                   TELEPHONE CROSS-OWNERSHIP PROHIBITION.

       Section 613(b)(3) of the Communications Act of 1934 (47

     and
       ``(2) construction schedules and other construction-related 
     requirements, including construction-related performance

     into account (i) the impact on domestic manufacturers of 
     including such technology in such television receivers, and 
     (ii) the need for cable operators and other multichannel 
     video systems to protect their signals against unauthorized 
     reception; and

     reflect improvements in technology. A franchising authority 
     may require as part of a franchise (including a modification, 
     renewal, or transfer thereof) provisions for the enforcement 
     of the standards prescribed under this subsection. A 
     franchising authority may apply to the Commission for a 
     waiver to impose standards that are more stringent than the 
     standards prescribed by the Commission under this

       ``(a) Unreasonable Refusals to Deal Prohibited.--Within 180 
     days after the date of enactment of the Cable Television 
     Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1990, the 
     Commission shall, in order to promote competition and 
     diversity in the multichannel video programming market and 
     continuing development of communications technologies, 
     prescribe regulations to prohibit any video programming 
     vendor that controls, is controlled by, or is under common 
     control with a multichannel video system operator and that 
     engages in the regional or national distribution of video 
     programming from refusing to deal with any multichannel video 
     system operator with respect to the provision of video 
     programming if such refusal would unreasonably restrain 
     competition. Entering into or abiding by the terms of an 
     exclusive contract that does not have the effect of 
     unreasonably restraining competition shall not be considered 
     an unreasonable refusal to deal. Nothing contained in this 
     subsection shall require any person who licenses video 
     programming for distribution to make such programming 
     available in any geographic area beyond which such 
     programming has been authorized or licensed for distribution.
       ``(b) Remedies for Violations.--Any multichannel video 
     system operator aggrieved by conduct that it alleges 
     constitutes a violation of the regulations prescribed under 
     this section may commence an adjudicatory proceeding at the 
     Commission. Upon completion of such proceeding, the 
     Commission shall have the power to order appropriate 
     remedies, including, if necessary, the power to establish 
     price, terms, and conditions of sale of programming to the 
     aggrieved multichannel video system operator.
       ``(c) Procedures.--The Commission shall prescribe 
     regulations to implement this section. The Commission's 
     regulations shall--
       ``(1) provide for an expedited review of any complaints 
     made pursuant to this section;
       ``(2) establish procedures for the Commission to collect 
     such data as the Commission requires to carry out this 
     section with respect to exclusive contracts or other 
     practices and their effects on competitors, competition, or 
     the video programming distribution market or on the 
     development of new video distribution technologies; and
       ``(3) provide for penalties to be assessed against any 
     person filing a frivolous complaint pursuant to this section.
       ``(d) Sunset.--The regulations prescribed under subsection 
     (a)(1) of this section shall cease to be effective 9 years 
     after the date of enactment of the Cable Television Consumer 
     Protection and Competition Act of 1992, or on such earlier 
     date as the Commission determines that a competitive national 
     market for the delivery of video programming exists. Such 
     regulations shall cease to be effective for any local market 
     on such earlier date as the Commission determines that a 
     competitive market for the delivery of such programming 
     exists in such local market.
       ``(e) Reports.--The Commission shall, beginning not later 
     than 18 months after promulgation of the regulations required 
     by subsection (a), annually report to Congress on the status 
     of competition in the market for the delivery of video 
     programming.
       ``(f) Exemptions for Prior Contracts.--Nothing in this 
     section shall affect any contract (or the renewal or 
     extension of any contract) that grants exclusive distribution 
     rights to any person with respect to video programming and 
     that was entered into on or before June 1, 1990.
       ``(g) Definitions.--
       ``(1) The term `multichannel video system operator' 
     includes an operator of any cable system, multichannel 
     multipoint distribution service, direct broadcast satellite 
     distribution service, television receive-only satellite 
     distribution service, or other comparable system for the 
     distribution of video programming.
       ``(2) The term `video programming vendor'--
       ``(A) means any person who licenses video programming for 
     distribution by any multichannel video system operator;
       ``(B) includes satellite delivered video programming 
     networks and other programming networks and services;
       ``(C) does not include a network or service distributing 
     video programming intended for broadcast by a television 
     station affiliated with a broadcasting network; and
       ``(D) does not include a network or service distributing 
     video programming that is carried as a secondary transmission 
     of a signal broadcast by a television station.
       ``(3) The terms `cable system' and `video programming' have 
     the meanings provided by section 602 of this Act.''.
       (b) Regulation of Carriage Agreements.--Part II of title VI 
     of the Communications Act of 1934 is amended by adding at the 
     end the following new section:

     ``SEC. 616. REGULATION OF CARRIAGE AGREEMENTS.

       ``(a) Regulations Required.--Within one year after the date 
     of enactment of this Act,

[[Page 1517]]

     the Commission shall establish regulations governing program 
     carriage agreements and related practices between cable 
     operators and video programming vendors.
       ``(b) Prevention of Unreasonable Restraints on 
     Competition.--The regulations required by subsection (a) 
     shall, to the extent necessary to prevent conduct that 
     unreasonably restrains competiton, prohibit--
       ``(1) a cable operator or other multichannel video system 
     operator from coercing a financial interest in a program 
     service as a condition for carriage on one or more of such 
     operator's systems;
       ``(2) a cable operator or other multichannel video system 
     operator from coercing a video programming vendor to provide 
     exclusive rights against other multichannel video system 
     operators as a condition of carriage on a system; and
       ``(3) a multichannel video system operator from engaging in 
     conduct the effect of which is to unreasonably restrain the 
     ability of an unaffiliated video programming vendor to 
     compete fairly by discriminating in video programming 
     distribution on the basis of affiliation or nonaffiliation in 
     the selection, terms, or conditions for carriage of video 
     programming vendors.
       ``(c) Additional Contents of Regulations.--The regulations 
     required by subsection (a) shall also--
       ``(1) provide for expedited review of any complaints made 
     by a video programming vendor pursuant to this section;
       ``(2) provide for appropriate penalties and remedies for 
     violations of this subsection, including carriage; and
       ``(3) provide penalties to be assessed against any person 
     filing a frivolous complaint pursuant to this section.

     operator' have the meanings provided by section 705A(g) of 
     this Act.''.

     SEC. 11. MARKETING OF CERTAIN SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) many satellite-delivered programming services have 
     unnecessarily restricted options for consumers wishing to 
     choose between competing television programming distributors;
       (2) presently 3,000,000 Americans own C-band home satellite 
     television systems and the number is growing at a rate of 
     350,000 to 400,000 each year;
       (3) there is disparity in wholesale pricing between 
     programming services offered to cable operators and to 
     satellite programming distributors;
       (4) independent, noncable third-party packaging of C-band 
     direct broadcast satellite delivered programming will 
     encourage the availability of programming to C-band direct 
     broadcast home satellite television systems; and
       (5) in order to promote the development of direct-to-home 
     satellite service, Congress must act to ensure that video 
     programming vendors provide access on fair and 
     nondiscriminatory terms.
       (b) Amendments.--Section 705 of the Communications Act of 
     1934 (47 U.S.C. 605) is amended--
       (1) by striking subsection (f) as added by section 204 of 
     the Satellite Home Viewer Act of 1988;
       (2) by striking ``subsection (d)'' each place it appears in 
     subsections (d)(6) and (e)(3)(A) and inserting ``subsection 
     (f)'';
       (3) by redesignating subsections (c) through (g) as 
     subsections (d) through (h), respectively;
       (4) by inserting after subsection (b) the following new 
     subsection:
       ``(c)(1) Any person who encrypts any satellite delivered 
     programming shall--
       ``(A) make such programming available for private viewing 
     by home satellite antenna users;
       ``(B) when making such programming available through any 
     other person for distribution through any medium, establish 
     reasonable and nondiscriminatory financial, character, 
     technical, and service criteria and requirements under which 
     noncable distributors shall qualify to distribute such 
     programming for private viewing by home satellite antenna 
     users; and
       ``(C) when making such programming available through any 
     other person for distribution through any medium, establish 
     by the effective date of this subparagraph or January 1, 
     1992, whichever is later, price, terms, and conditions for 
     the wholesale distribution of such programming which do not 
     discriminate between the distribution of such programming to 
     distributors for cable television subscribers and 
     distributors to home satellite antenna users, nor among 
     different distributors to home satellite antenna users, 
     except that this subparagraph shall not prohibit rate 
     differentials which are--
       ``(i) attributable to actual and reasonable differences in 
     the costs of the creation, sale, delivery, or transmission of 
     such programming as between different delivery media;
       ``(ii) attributable to reasonable volume discounts; or
       ``(iii) attributable to bona fide agreements for the 
     distribution of such programming which were in effect prior 
     to the enactment date of this subparagraph.
       ``(2) Where a person who encrypts satellite delivered 
     programming has established a separate subsidiary for 
     distribution to satellite antenna users, such person shall 
     not be required to establish or license any entity on the 
     same terms and conditions as such separate subsidiary; except 
     that for purposes of any claim of discrimination under this 
     section, a party aggrieved may, as evidence of 
     discrimination, compare the prices, terms, and conditions 
     established by the person who encrypts.
       ``(3) Nothing contained in this subsection shall require 
     any person who encrypts satellite delivered programming to 
     authorize or license any distributor for a secondary 
     satellite retransmission of such programming, but, if any 
     person who encrypts satellite delivered programming 
     authorizes or licenses such a distributor, such person shall, 
     consistent with the provisions of paragraphs (1)(B) and 
     (1)(C), establish criteria to qualify to distribute such 
     programming through such secondary satellite retransmissions, 
     and further establish nondiscriminatory price, terms, and 
     conditions for such distribution. Nothing contained in this 
     subsection shall require any person who encrypts satellite 
     delivered programming to make such programming available in 
     any geographic area beyond which such programming has been 
     authorized or licensed for distribution.
       ``(4) Any person aggrieved by any violation of paragraph 
     (1)(A) of this subsection may bring a civil action in a 
     United States district court or in any other court of 
     competent jurisdiction. Such court may grant temporary and 
     final injunctions or other equitable relief on such terms as 
     it may deem reasonable and appropriate to prevent or restrain 
     such violations.
       ``(5) Any person aggrieved by any violation of paragraph 
     (1)(B), (1)(C), or (2) of this subsection may bring a civil 
     action in the United States district court or other court of 
     competent jurisdiction. Such court may grant temporary and 
     final injunctions on such terms as it may deem reasonable and 
     appropriate to prevent or restrain such violations; and (i) 
     direct the recovery of damages to a prevailing plaintiff, 
     including actual damages, or statutory damages for all 
     violations in a sum of not more than $500,000, as the court 
     considers just; and (ii) direct the recovery of full costs, 
     including reasonable attorney's fees, to a prevailing party.
       ``(6) As used in this subsection--
       ``(A) the term `satellite delivered programming' means 
     video programming transmitted by a domestic C-band direct 
     broadcast communications satellite intended for reception by 
     cable television systems or home satellite antenna users and 
     does not include any satellite communication of any 
     broadcaster or broadcast network;
       ``(B) the term `home satellite antenna users' means 
     individuals who own or operate C-band direct broadcast 
     satellite television receive-only equipment for the reception 
     of satellite delivered programming for viewing in such 
     individual's single family dwelling unit; and
       ``(C) the term `person who encrypts' means the party who 
     holds the rights to the satellite delivered programming or 
     who establishes the prices, terms, and conditions for the 
     wholesale distribution thereof.
       ``(7) This subsection shall cease to be effective 7 years 
     after the date of enactment of this subsection.''; and
       (5) in subsection (h) (as redesignated) by striking ``, 
     based on the information gathered from the inquiry required 
     by subsection (f),''.
       (c) Effective Date.--The amendments made by subsection (b) 
     of this section shall take effect 90 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act.

     SEC. 12. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds and declares that--
       (1) despite the existence of present legislation governing 
     equal employment opportunity, females and minorities are not 
     employed in significant numbers in positions of management 
     authority in the cable television and broadcast industries;
       (2) increased numbers of females and minorities in 
     positions of management authority in the cable television and 
     broadcast industries advances the Nation's policy favoring 
     diversity in the expression of views in the electronic media; 
     and
       (3) rigorous enforcement of equal employment opportunity 
     rules and regulations is required in order to effectively 
     deter racial and gender discrimination.
       (b) Standards.--Section 634(d)(1) of the Communication Act 
     of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 554(d)(1)) is amended to read as follows:
       ``(d)(1) Not later than 270 days after the date of 
     enactment of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and 
     Competition Act of 1992, of this section, and after notice 
     and opportunity for hearing, the Commission shall prescribe 
     revisions in the rules under this section in order to 
     implement the amendments made to this section by such Act. 
     Such revisions shall be designed to promote equality of 
     employment opportunities for females and minorities in each 
     of the job categories itemized in paragraph (3) of this 
     subsection.''.
       (c) Contents of Annual Statistical Reports.--Section 
     634(d)(3) of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 
     554(d)(3)) is amended to read as follows:
       ``(3)(A) Such rules also shall require an entity specified 
     in subsection (a) with more than 5 full-time employees to 
     file with the Commission an annual statistical report 
     identifying by race, sex, and job title the number of 
     employees in each of the following full-time and part-time 
     job categories:
       ``(i) Corporate officers.
       ``(ii) General Manager.
       ``(iii) Chief Technician.
       ``(iv) Comptroller.
       ``(v) General Sales Manager.
       ``(vi) Production Manager.

       ``(ix) Technicians.
       ``(x) Sales.
       ``(xi) Office and Clerical.
       ``(xii) Skilled Craftspersons.
       ``(xiii) Semiskilled Operatives.
       ``(xiv) Unskilled Laborers.
       ``(xv) Service Workers.
       ``(B) The report required by subparagraph (A) shall be made 
     on separate forms, provided by the Commission, for full-time 
     and part-time employees. The Commission's rules shall 
     sufficiently define job categories (i) through (vi) of such 
     subparagraph so as to ensure that only employees who are 
     principal decisionmakers and that have supervisory authority 
     are reported for such categories. The Commission shall adopt 
     rules that define job categories (vii) through (xv) in a 
     manner that is consistent with the Commission policies in 
     effect on June 1, 1990. The Commission shall prescribe the 
     method by which entities shall be required to compute and 
     report the number of minorities and women in job categories 
     (i) through (x) and the number of minorities and women in job 
     categories (i) through (xv) in proportion to the total number 
     of qualified minorities and women in the relevant labor 
     market. The report shall include information on hiring, 
     promotion, and recruitment practices necessary for the 
     Commission to evaluate the efforts of entities to comply with 
     the provisions of paragraph (2) of this subsection. The 
     report shall be available for public inspection at the 
     entity's central location and at every location where 5 or 
     more full-time employees are regularly assigned to work. 
     Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as prohibiting 
     the Commission from collecting or continuing to collect 
     statistical or other employment information in a manner that 
     it deems appropriate to carry out this section.''.
       (d) Penalties.--Section 634(f)(2) of such Act is amended by 
     striking ``$200'' and inserting ``$500''.
       (e) Application of Requirements.--Section 634(h)(1) of such 
     Act is further amended by inserting before the period the 
     following: ``and any multichannel video system operator (as 
     that term is defined in section 705A(g) of this Act)''.
       (f) Study and Report Required.--Not later than 240 days 
     after the date of enactment of the Cable Television Consumer 
     Protection and Competition Act of 1992, the Commission shall 
     submit to the Congress a report pursuant to a proceeding to 
     review and obtain public comment on the effect and operation 
     of its procedures, regulations, policies, standards, and 
     guidelines concerning equal employment opportunity in the 
     broadcasting industry. In conducting such review, the 
     Commission shall consider the effectiveness of such 
     procedures, regulations, policies, standards, and guidelines 
     in promoting equality of employment opportunity and promotion 
     opportunity, and particularly the effectiveness of such 
     procedures, regulations, policies, standards, and guidelines 
     in promoting the congressional policy favoring increased 
     employment opportunity for women and minorities in positions 
     of management authority. In conducting such proceeding the 
     Commission also shall review the effectiveness of penalties 
     and remedies for violation of existing regulations and 
     policies concerning equality of employment opportunity in the 
     broadcasting industry. The Commission shall forward to the 
     Congress such legislative recommendations to improve equal 
     employment opportunity in the broadcasting industry as it 
     deems necessary.

     SEC. 13. HOME WIRING.

       Section 624 of the Communications Act of 1934 (17 U.S.C. 
     544) is amended by adding at the end the following new 
     subsection:
       ``(g) Within 120 days after the date of enactment of this 
     subsection, the Commission shall prescribe rules and 
     regulations concerning the disposition, after a subscriber to 
     a cable system terminates service, of any cable installed by 
     the cable operator within the premises of such subscriber.''.

     SEC. 14. CABLE CHANNELS FOR COMMERCIAL USE.

       (a) Rates, Terms, and Conditions.--Section 612(c) of the 
     Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 532(c)) is amended--
       (1) by striking ``consistent with the purpose of this 
     section'' in paragraph (1) and inserting ``consistent with 
     regulations prescribed by the Commission under paragraph 
     (4)''; and
       (2) by adding at the end thereof the following new 
     paragraph:
       ``(4) The Commission shall, not later than 180 days after 
     the date of enactment of the Cable Television Consumer 
     Protection and Competition Act of 1992, by regulation 
     establish--
       ``(A) a formula to determine the maximum rates which a 
     cable operator may establish under paragraph (1) of this 
     subsection;
       ``(B) standards concerning the terms and conditions which 
     may be so established; and
       ``(C) standards concerning methods for collection and 
     billing for commercial use of channel capacity made available 
     under this section.''.
       (b) Access for Minority Programming Sources.--Section 612 
     of such Act is further amended by adding at the end thereof 
     the following new subsection:
       ``(i)(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (b) 
     and (c), a cable operator required by this section to 
     designate channel capacity for commercial use may use any 
     such channel capacity for the provision of programming from a 
     qualified minority programming source, whether or not such 
     source is affiliated with the cable operator. The channel 
     capacity used to provide programming from a qualified 
     minority programming source pursuant to this subsection may 
     not exceed 33 percent of the channel capacity designated 
     pursuant to this section. No programming provided over a 
     cable system on July 1, 1990, may qualify as minority 
     programming on that cable system under this subsection.
       ``(2) For purposes of this subsection, the term `qualified 
     minority programming source' means a programming source which 
     devotes significantly all of its programming to coverage of 
     minority viewpoints, or to programming directed at members of 
     minority groups, and which is over 50 percent minority-owned, 
     as the term `minority' is defined in section 309(i)(3)(C)(ii) 
     of this Act.''.

     SEC. 15. THEFT OF CABLE SERVICE.

       Section 633(b) of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 
     533(b)) is amended--
       (1) in paragraph (2)--
       (A) by striking ``$25,000'' and inserting ``$50,000'';
       (B) by striking ``1 year'' and inserting ``2 years'';

       (D) by striking ``2 years'' and inserting ``5 years''; and
       (2) by adding at the end thereof the following new 
     paragraph:
       ``(3) For purposes of all penalties and remedies 
     established for violations of subsection (a)(1), the

     SEC. 16. CONSUMER ELECTRONICS EQUIPMENT COMPATIBILITY.

       The Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 151 et seq.) is 
     amended by adding after section 624 the following new 
     section:

     ``SEC. 624A. CONSUMER ELECTRONICS EQUIPMENT COMPATIBILITY.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) new and recent models of television receivers and 
     video cassette recorders often contain premium features and 
     functions that are disabled or inhibited because of cable 
     scrambling, encoding, or encryption technologies and devices, 
     including converter boxes and remote control devices required 
     by cable operators to receive programming;
       ``(2) if this incompatibility is not resolved, consumers 
     will be less likely to purchase, and electronics equipment 
     manufacturers will be less likely to develop, manufacture, or 
     offer for sale, television receivers and video cassette 
     recorders with new and innovative features and functions; and
       ``(3) cable system operators and electronics equipment 
     manufacturers should, to the extent possible, develop 
     technologies that will prevent signal thefts while permitting 
     consumers to benefit from premium features and functions in 
     such receivers and recorders.
       ``(b) Rulemaking Required.--Within one year after the date 
     of enactment of this section, the Commission shall prescribe 
     such regulations as are necessary--
       ``(1) to ensure that the signals a cable system transmits 
     to subscribers are compatible with all operational functions 
     of cable-ready television receivers and video cassette 
     recorders, taking into account the need for cable operators 
     to protect their signals against unauthorized reception;
       ``(2) to prohibit cable operators from scrambling or 
     otherwise encrypting any local broadcast signal in any manner 
     that interferes with or nullifies the special functions of 
     subscribers' televisions or video cassette recorders, 
     including functions that permit the subscriber--
       ``(A) to watch a program on one channel while 
     simultaneously using a video cassette recorder to tape a 
     different program on another channel;
       ``(B) to use a video cassette recorder to tape two 
     consecutive programs that appear on different channels; or
       ``(C) to use advanced television picture generation and 
     display feature;
       ``(3) to promote the commercial availability, from cable 
     operators and retail vendors that are not affiliated with 
     cable systems, of converters and of remote control devices 
     compatible with converters;
       ``(4) to require a cable operator who offers subscribers 
     the option of renting a remote control unit--
       ``(A) to notify subscribers that they may purchase a 
     commercially available remote control device from any source 
     that sells such devices rather than renting it from the cable 
     operator; and
       ``(B) to specify the types of remote control units that are 
     compatible with the converter box supplied by the cable 
     operator;
       ``(5) to prohibit a cable operator from taking any action 
     that prevents or in any way disables the converter box 
     supplied by the cable operator from operating compatibly with 
     commercially available remote control units; and
       ``(6) to establish technical standards and labeling 
     requirements for television receivers and video cassette 
     recorders that are marketed as `cable-ready', such standards 
     and labeling reuqirements to include information disclosing 
     that all features of `cable ready' television receivers and 
     video cassette recorders may not be compatible with all cable 
     systems.
       ``(c) Exception.--The regulations required by subsection 
     (b)(1) may, if necessary to protect against the theft of 
     cable service, permit a cable operator to scramble or 
     otherwise encrypt video programming in accordance with such 
     standards as the Commission

[[Page 1519]]

     shall prescribe consistent with the findings contained in 
     subsection (a) of this section.
       ``(d) Review of Regulations.--The Commission shall 
     periodically review and, if necessary, modify the regulations 
     issued pursuant to this section in light of any actions taken 
     in response to regulations issued under subsection (e) and to 
     reflect improvements and changes in cable systems, television 
     receivers, video cassette recorders, and similar technology.
       ``(e) Compatible Interfaces.--Within one year after the 
     date of enactment of this section, the Commission, in 
     consultation with representatives of the cable industry and 
     the consumer electronics industry, shall report to the 
     Congress on means of assuring compatibility between 
     televisions and video cassette recorders and cable systems so 
     that cable subscribers will be able to enjoy the full benefit 
     of both the programming available on cable systems and the 
     functions available on their televisions and video cassette 
     recorders. Within 2 years after the date of enactment of this 
     section, the Commission shall issue regulations as may be 
     necessary to require the use of interfaces that assure such 
     compatibility.
       ``(f) Feasibility and Cost.--The Commission shall adopt 
     standards under this section that are technologically and 
     economically feasible. In determining the feasibility of such 
     standards, the Commission shall take into account the cost 
     and benefit to cable subscribers of such standards.''.

     SEC. 17. STUDIES.

       (a) Study of Video Programming Diversity and Competition.--
       (1) Commission study.--The Commission shall conduct a 
     review and study to determine whether it is necessary or 
     appropriate in the public interest to prohibit or constrain 
     acts and practices that may unreasonably restrict diversity 
     and competition in the market for video programming. In 
     conducting such review and study, the Commission shall 
     consider the necessity and appropriateness of--
       (A) imposing limitations on the degree to which 
     multichannel video programming distributors may engage in the 
     creation or production of such programming; and
       (B) imposing limitations on the proportion of the market, 
     at any stage in the distribution of video programming, which 
     may be controlled by any multichannel video programming 
     distributor or other person engaged in such distribution.
       (2) Report.--Within one year after the date of enactment of 
     this Act, the Commission shall submit a report on the review 
     and study required by paragraph (1) to the Committee on 
     Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives and the 
     Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the 
     Senate. Thereafter, the Commission shall continue to monitor 
     (and summarize in the Commission's annual reports) the status 
     of diversity and competition in the marketplace for video 
     programming.
       (b) Study of Programming Market.--On or before January 1, 
     1996, the Commission shall submit to the Committee on Energy 
     and Commerce of the House of Representatives and the 
     Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the 
     Senate a report concerning the effects of exclusive licensing 
     arrangements for video programming on competition between 
     classes of multichannel video system operators. The 
     Commission shall evaluate whether grantors or holders of 
     exclusive licensing arrangements for video programming 
     discriminate against classes of multichannel video system 
     operators in a manner that deprives the public of access to 
     diverse sources of programming. Such report shall include 
     such recommendations for legislation as the Commission deems 
     appropriate.
       (c) Proceeding With Respect to Areas Receiving Poor Over-
     the-Air Signals.--The Federal Communications Commission shall 
     initiate an inquiry and rulemaking to examine the feasibility 
     of providing access to network and independent broadcasting 
     station signals to persons who subscribe to direct broadcast 
     satellite service and are unable to receive such signals (of 
     grade B quality) over the air from a local licensee, or from 
     a cable system. In undertaking such rulemaking, the 
     Commission shall take into consideration pertinent economic 
     and technological factors, including the following:
       (1) the extent to which individuals in rural, underserved 
     areas are unable to receive broadcast television 
     transmission; and
       (2) potential ways in which operators of satellite-
     delivered programming services or the manufacturers or 
     distributors of receiving equipment might enhance the ability 
     of such persons to receive and readily access additional 
     video distribution, including without limitation, an 
     electronic switching capability as a minimum feature on 
     satellite television receiving equipment.
       (d) Study of Low-Power Television.--
       (1) Study required.--Within 12 months after enactment of 
     this Act, the Federal Communications Commission shall prepare 
     and submit to the Congress a report on whether, and under 
     what conditions, low power television stations (as defined in 
     section 74.701(f) of title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, 
     or any successor regulations thereto) which provide local 
     origination programming should be entitled to carriage on 
     cable systems whose service area encompasses the service area 
     to which a low power television station is licensed.
       (2) Public comment; factors for consideration.--In 
     preparing its report, the Commission shall provide an 
     opportunity for public comment and take into account--
       (A) whether and how many low power television stations 
     provide local program services which serve the public 
     interest, convenience and necessity;
       (B) the status of low power television as a secondary 
     service;
       (C) the impact of carriage of low power television stations 
     on the availability of channels for future communications 
     needs;
       (D) the burden on cable systems of carriage of low power 
     television stations, the propriety of imposing such a burden, 
     and any technical considerations relating to providing 
     carriage limited only to the low power television station's 
     community of license; and
       (E) the extent of the burden presently imposed upon low 
     power television stations as a result of charges for carriage 
     imposed on stations by cable systems.

     SEC. 18. EFFECTIVE DATE.

       Except where otherwise expressly provided, the provisions 
     of this Act and the amendments made thereby shall take effect 
     60 days after the enactment of this Act.

  So the amendment in the nature of a substitute was not agreed to.
  After some further time,
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. GEPHARDT, assumed the Chair.
  When Mr. MFUME, Chairman, pursuant to House Resolution 523, reported 
the bill back to the House with an amendment adopted by the Committee.
  The previous question having been ordered by said resolution.
  The following amendment, reported from the Committee of the Whole 
House on the state of the Union, was agreed to:

       Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:
       Resolved, That the bill from the Senate (S. 12) entitled 
     ``An Act to amend title VI of the Communications Act of 1934 
     to ensure carriage on cable television of local news and 
     other programming and to restore the right of local 
     regulatory authorities to regulate cable television rates, 
     and for other purposes'', do pass with the following
       AMENDMENTS:
         Strike out all after the enacting clause, and insert:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Cable Television Consumer 
     Protection and Competition Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS; DEFINITION.

       (a) Findings.--Section 601 of the Communications Act of 
     1934 (47 U.S.C. 521) is amended--
       (1) by striking the heading of such section and inserting 
     the following:


                        ``purposes; findings'';

       (2) by inserting ``(a) Purposes.--'' after ``Sec. 601.''; 
     and
       (3) by adding at the end thereof the following new 
     subsection:
       ``(b) Findings.--The Congress finds and declares the 
     following:
       ``(1) Fair competition in the delivery of television 
     programming should foster the greatest possible choice of 
     programming and should result in lower prices for consumers.
       ``(2) Passage of the Cable Communications Policy Act of 
     1984 resulted in deregulation of rates for cable television 
     services in approximately 97 percent of all franchises. A 
     minority of cable operators have abused their deregulated 
     status and their market power and have unreasonably raised 
     cable subscriber rates. The Federal Communications 
     Commission's rules governing local rate regulation will not 
     provide any protection for more than two-thirds of the 
     nation's cable subscribers, and will not protect subscribers 
     from unreasonable rates in those communities where the rules 
     apply.
       ``(3) In order to protect consumers, it is necessary for 
     the Congress to establish a means for local franchising 
     authorities and the Federal Communications Commission to 
     prevent cable operators from imposing rates upon consumers 
     that are unreasonable.
       ``(4) There is a substantial governmental and first 
     amendment interest in promoting a diversity of views provided 
     through multiple technology media.
       ``(5) The Federal Government has a compelling interest in 
     making all nonduplicative local public television services 
     available on cable systems because--
       ``(A) public television provides educational and 
     informational programming to the Nation's citizens, thereby 
     advancing the Government's compelling interest in educating 
     its citizens;
       ``(B) public television is a local community institution, 
     supported through local tax dollars and voluntary citizen 
     contributions in excess of $10,800,000,000 between 1972 and 
     1990 that provides public service programming that is 
     responsive to the needs and interests of the local community;
       ``(C) the Federal Government, in recognition of public 
     television's integral role in serving the educational and 
     informational needs of local communities, has invested more 
     than $3,000,000,000 in public broadcasting between 1969 and 
     1992; and
       ``(D) absent carriage requirements there is a substantial 
     likelihood that citizens, who have supported local public 
     television services, will be deprived of those services.
       ``(6) The Federal Government also has a compelling interest 
     in having cable systems carry the signals of local commercial 
     television stations because the carriage of such signals--
       ``(A) promotes localism and provides a significant source 
     of news, public affairs, and educational programming;
       ``(B) is necessary to serve the goals contained in section 
     307(b) of this Act of providing a fair, efficient, and 
     equitable distribution of broadcast services; and
       ``(C) will enhance the access to such signals by Americans 
     living in areas where the quality of reception of broadcast 
     stations is poor.
       ``(7) Broadcast television programming is supported by 
     revenues generated from advertising. Such programming is 
     otherwise free to those who own television sets and do not 
     require cable transmission to receive broadcast signals. 
     There is a substantial governmental interest in promoting the 
     continued availability of such free television programming, 
     especially for viewers who are unable to afford other means 
     of receiving programming.
       ``(8) Because television broadcasters and cable television 
     operators compete directly for the television viewing 
     audience, for programming material, and for advertising 
     revenue, in order to ensure that such competition is fair and 
     operates to the benefit of consumers, the Federal interest 
     requires that local broadcast stations be made available on 
     cable systems.
       ``(9) Cable systems should be encouraged to carry low power 
     television stations licensed to the communities served by 
     those systems where the low power station creates and 
     broadcasts, as a substantial part of its programming day, 
     local programming.
       ``(10) Secure carriage and channel positioning on cable 
     television systems are the most effective means through which 
     off-air broadcast television can access cable subscribers. In 
     the absence of rules mandating carriage and channel 
     positioning of broadcast television stations, some cable 
     system operators have denied carriage or repositioned the 
     carriage of some television stations.
       ``(11) Cable television systems and broadcast television 
     stations increasingly compete for television advertising 
     revenues and audience. A cable system has a direct financial 
     interest in promoting those channels on which it sells 
     advertising or owns programming. As a result, there is an 
     economic incentive for cable systems to deny carriage to 
     local broadcast signals, or to reposition broadcast signals 
     to disadvantageous channel positions, or both. Absent 
     reimposition of must carry and channel positioning 
     requirements, such activity could occur, thereby threatening 
     diversity, economic competition, and the Federal television 
     broadcast allocation structure in local markets across the 
     country.
       ``(12) Cable systems provide the most effective access to 
     television households that subscribe to cable. As a result of 
     the cable operator's provision of this access and the 
     operator's economic incentives described in paragraph (11), 
     negotiations between cable operators and local broadcast 
     stations have not been an effective mechanism for securing 
     carriage and channel positioning.
       ``(13) Most subscribers to cable television systems do not 
     or cannot maintain antennas to receive broadcast television 
     services, do not have input selector switches to convert from 
     a cable to antenna reception system, or cannot otherwise 
     receive broadcast television services. A Government mandate 
     for a substantial societal investment in alternative 
     distribution systems for cable subscribers, such as the `A/B' 
     input selector antenna system, is not an enduring or feasible 
     method of distribution and is not in the public interest.
       ``(14) At the same time, broadcast programming has proven 
     to be the most popular programming on cable systems, and a 
     substantial portion of the benefits for which consumers pay 
     cable systems is derived from carriage of local broadcast 
     signals. Also, cable programming placed on channels adjacent 
     to popular off-the-air signals obtains a larger audience than 
     on other channel positions. Cable systems, therefore, obtain 
     great benefits from carriage of local broadcast signals 
     which, until now, they have been able to obtain without the 
     consent of the broadcaster. This has resulted in an effective 
     subsidy of the development of cable systems by local 
     broadcasters. While at one time, when cable systems did not 
     attempt to compete with local broadcasters, this subsidy may 
     have been appropriate, it is no longer and results in a 
     competitive imbalance between the two industries.''.
       (b) Definition.--Section 602 of the Communications Act of 
     1934 (47 U.S.C. 522) is amended--
       (1) by redesignating paragraphs (11) through (16) as 
     paragraphs (12) through (17); and
       (2) by inserting after paragraph (10) the following new 
     paragraph:
       ``(11) the term `multichannel video programming 
     distributor' means a person such as, but not limited to, a 
     cable operator, a multichannel multipoint distribution 
     service, a direct broadcast satellite service, or a 
     television receive-only satellite program distributor, who 
     makes available for purchase, by subscribers or customers, 
     multiple channels of video programming;''.

     SEC. 3. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PROVISION AND REGULATION OF 
                   BASIC SERVICE TIER.

       (a) Amendment.--Section 623 of the Communications Act of 
     1934 is amended to read as follows:

[[Page 1521]]

     ``SEC. 623. REGULATION OF RATES.

       ``(a) Competition Preference; Local and Federal 
     Regulation.--
       ``(1) In general.--No Federal agency or State may regulate 
     the rates for the provision of cable service except to the 
     extent provided under this section and section 612. Any 
     franchising authority may regulate the rates for the 
     provision of cable service, or any other communications 
     service provided over a cable system to cable subscribers, 
     but only to the extent provided under this section. No 
     Federal agency, State, or franchising authority may regulate 
     the rates for cable service of a cable system that is owned 
     or operated by a local government or franchising authority 
     within whose jurisdiction that cable system is located and 
     that is the only cable system located within such 
     jurisdiction.
       ``(2) Preference for competition.--If the Commission finds 
     that a cable system is subject to effective competition, the 
     rates for the provision of cable service by such system shall 
     not be subject to regulation by the Commission or by a State 
     or franchising authority under this section. If the 
     Commission finds that a cable system is not subject to 
     effective competition--
       ``(A) the rates for the provision of basic cable service 
     shall be subject to regulation by a franchising authority, or 
     by the Commission if the Commission exercises jurisdiction 
     pursuant to paragraph (6), in accordance with the regulations 
     prescribed by the Commission under subsection (b) of this 
     section; and
       ``(B) the rates for cable programming services shall be 
     subject to regulation by the Commission under subsection (c) 
     of this section.
       ``(3) Qualification of franchising authority.--A 
     franchising authority that seeks to exercise the regulatory 
     jurisdiction permitted under paragraph (2)(A) shall file with 
     the Commission a written certification that--
       ``(A) the franchising authority will adopt and administer 
     regulations with respect to the rates subject to regulation 
     under this section that are consistent with the regulations 
     prescribed by the Commission under subsection (b);
       ``(B) the franchising authority has the legal authority to 
     adopt, and the personnel to administer, such regulations; and
       ``(C) procedural laws and regulations applicable to rate 
     regulation proceedings by such authority provide a reasonable 
     opportunity for consideration of the views of interested 
     parties.
       ``(4) Approval by commission.--A certification filed by a 
     franchising authority under paragraph (3) shall be effective 
     30 days after the date on which it is filed unless the 
     Commission finds, after notice to the authority and a 
     reasonable opportunity for the authority to comment, that--
       ``(A) the franchising authority has adopted or is 
     administering regulations with respect to the rates subject 
     to regulation under this section that are not consistent with 
     the regulations prescribed by the Commission under subsection 
     (b);
       ``(B) the franchising authority does not have the legal 
     authority to adopt, or the personnel to administer, such 
     regulations; or
       ``(C) procedural laws and regulations applicable to rate 
     regulation proceedings by such authority do not provide a 
     reasonable opportunity for consideration of the views of 
     interested parties.
     If the Commission disapproves a franchising authority's 
     certification, the Commission shall notify the franchising 
     authority of any revisions or modifications necessary to 
     obtain approval.
       ``(5) Revocation of jurisdiction.--Upon petition by a cable 
     operator or other interested party, the Commission shall 
     review the regulation of cable system rates by a franchising 
     authority under this subsection. A copy of the petition shall 
     be provided to the franchising authority by the person filing 
     the petition. If the Commission finds that the franchising 
     authority has acted inconsistently with the requirements of 
     this subsection, the Commission shall grant appropriate 
     relief. If the Commission, after the franchising authority 
     has had a reasonable opportunity to comment, determines that 
     the State and local laws and regulations are not in 
     conformance with the regulations prescribed by the Commission 
     under subsection (b), the Commission shall revoke the 
     jurisdiction of such authority.
       ``(6) Exercise of jurisdiction by commission.--If the 
     Commission disapproves a franchising authority's 
     certification under paragraph (4), or revokes such 
     authority's jurisdiction under paragraph (5), the Commission 
     shall exercise the franchising authority's regulatory 
     jurisdiction under paragraph (2)(A) until the franchising 
     authority has qualified to exercise that jurisdiction by 
     filing a new certification that meets the requirements of 
     paragraph (3). Such new certification shall be effective upon 
     approval by the Commission. The Commission shall act to 
     approve or disapprove any such new certification within 90 
     days after the date it is filed.
       ``(b) Establishment of Basic Service Tier Rate 
     Limitations.--
       ``(1) Commission regulations.--Within 120 days after the 
     date of enactment of the Cable Television Consumer Protection 
     and Competition Act of 1992, the Commission shall, by 
     regulation, establish the following:
       ``(A) Basic service tier rates.--A formula to establish the 
     maximum price of the basic service tier, which formula shall 
     take into account--
       ``(i) the number of signals carried on the basic service 
     tier;
       ``(ii) the direct costs (if any) of obtaining, 
     transmitting, and otherwise providing such signals, including 
     signals and services carried on the basic service tier 
     pursuant to paragraph (2)(B), and changes in such costs;
       ``(iii) such portion of the joint and common costs of the 
     cable operator as is determined, in accordance with 
     regulations prescribed by the Commission, to be properly 
     allocable to obtaining, transmitting, and otherwise providing 
     such signals, and changes in such costs;
       ``(iv) a reasonable profit (as defined by the Commission) 
     on the provision of the basic service tier;
       ``(v) rates for comparable cable systems, if any, that are 
     subject to effective competition and that offer comparable 
     services, taking into account, among other factors, 
     similarities in facilities, the number of cable channels, the 
     number of cable subscribers, and local conditions;
       ``(vi) any amount assessed as a franchise fee, tax, or 
     charge of any kind imposed by any State or local authority on 
     the transactions between cable operators and cable 
     subscribers or any other fee, tax, or assessment of general 
     applicability imposed by a governmental entity applied 
     against cable operators or cable subscribers; and
       ``(vii) any amount required, in accordance with 
     subparagraph (C), to satisfy franchise requirements to 
     support public, educational, or governmental channels or the 
     use of such channels or any other services required under the 
     franchise.
       ``(B) Equipment.--A formula to establish, on the basis of 
     actual cost, the price or rate for--
       ``(i) installation and lease of the equipment necessary for 
     subscribers to receive the basic service tier, including a 
     converter box and a remote control unit and, if requested by 
     the subscriber, such addressable converter box or other 
     equipment as is required to access programming described in 
     paragraph (3); and
       ``(ii) installation and monthly use of connections for 
     additional television receivers.
       ``(C) Costs of franchise requirements.--A formula to 
     identify and allocate costs attributable to satisfying 
     franchise requirements to support public, educational, and 
     governmental channels or the use of such channels or any 
     other services required under the franchise.
       ``(D) Implementation and enforcement.--Additional 
     standards, guidelines, and procedures concerning the 
     implementation and enforcement of the regulations prescribed 
     by the Commission under this subsection, which shall 
     include--
       ``(i) procedures by which cable operators may implement and 
     franchising authorities may enforce the administration of the 
     formulas, standards, guidelines, and procedures established 
     by the Commission under this subsection;
       ``(ii) procedures for the expeditious resolution of 
     disputes between cable operators and franchising authorities 
     concerning the administration of such formulas, standards, 
     guidelines, and procedures;
       ``(iii) standards and procedures to prevent unreasonable 
     charges for changes in the subscriber's selection of services 
     or equipment subject to regulation under this section, which 
     standards shall require that charges for changing the service 
     tier selected shall be based on the cost of such change and 
     shall not exceed nominal amounts when the system's 
     configuration permits changes in service tier selection to be 
     effected solely by coded entry on a computer terminal or by 
     other similarly simple method; and
       ``(iv) standards and procedures to assure that subscribers 
     receive notice of the availability of the basic service tier 
     required under this section.
       ``(E) Notice.--The procedures prescribed by the Commission 
     pursuant to subparagraph (D)(i) shall require a cable 
     operator to provide 30 days advance notice to a franchising 
     authority of any increase of more than 5 percent proposed in 
     the price to be charged for the basic service tier.
       ``(F) Effective dates.--An effective date or dates for 
     compliance with the formulas, standards, guidelines, and 
     procedures established under this subsection.
       ``(2) Components of basic tier subject to rate 
     regulation.--
       ``(A) Minimum contents.--Each cable operator of a cable 
     system shall provide its subscribers a separately available 
     basic service tier to which the rates prescribed under 
     paragraph (1) shall apply and to which subscription is 
     required for access to any other tier of service. Such basic 
     service tier shall, at a minimum, consist of the following:
       ``(i) All signals carried in fulfillment of the 
     requirements of sections 614 and 615.
       ``(ii) Any public, educational, and governmental access 
     programming required by the franchise of the cable system to 
     be provided to subscribers.
       ``(iii) Any signal of any broadcast station that is 
     provided by the cable operator to any subscriber.
       ``(B) Permitted additions to basic tier.--A cable operator 
     may add additional video programming signals or services to 
     the basic service tier. Any such additional signals or 
     services provided on the basic service tier shall be provided 
     to subscribers at rates determined under paragraph (1)(A).
       ``(3) Buy-through of other tiers prohibited.--
       ``(A) Prohibition.--A cable operator may not require the 
     subscription to any tier other than the basic service tier 
     required by paragraph (2) as a condition of access to video 
     programming offered on a per channel

[[Page 1522]]

     or per program basis. A cable operator may not discriminate 
     between subscribers to the basic service tier and other 
     subscribers with regard to the rates charged for video 
     programming offered on a per channel or per program basis.
       ``(B) Exception; limitation.--The prohibition in 
     subparagraph (A) shall not apply to a cable system that, by 
     reason of the lack of addressable converter boxes or other 
     technological limitations, does not permit the operator to 
     offer programming on a per channel or per program basis in 
     the same manner required by subparagraph (A). This 
     subparagraph shall not be available to any cable operator 
     after--
       ``(i) the technology utilized by the cable system is 
     modified or improved in a way that eliminates such 
     technological limitation; or
       ``(ii) 5 years after the date of enactment of the Cable 
     Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992, 
     subject to subparagraph (C).
       ``(C) Study; extension of limitation.--(i) The Commission 
     shall, within 4 years after the date of enactment of the 
     Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 
     1992, initiate a proceeding to consider (I) the benefits to 
     consumers of subparagraph (A), (II) whether the cable 
     operators or consumers are being forced (or would be forced) 
     to incur unreasonable costs for complying with subparagraph 
     (A), and (III) the effect of subparagraph (A) on the 
     provision of diverse programming sources to cable 
     subscribers.
       ``(ii) If, in the proceeding required by clause (i), the 
     Commission determines that subparagraph (A) imposes 
     unreasonable costs on cable operators or cable subscribers, 
     the Commission may extend the 5-year period provided in 
     subparagraph (B)(ii) for 2 additional years.
       ``(4) Notice of fees, taxes, and other charges.--Each cable 
     operator may identify, in accordance with the formulas 
     required by clauses (vi) and (vii) of paragraph (1)(A), as a 
     separate line item on each regular bill of each subscriber, 
     each of the following:
       ``(A) the amount of the total bill assessed as a franchise 
     fee and the identity of the authority to which the fee is 
     paid;
       ``(B) the amount of the total bill assessed to satisfy any 
     requirements imposed on the operator by the franchise 
     agreement to support public, educational, or governmental 
     channels or the use of such channels; and
       ``(C) any other fee, tax, assessment, or charge of any kind 
     imposed on the transaction between the operator and the 
     subscriber.
       ``(c) Regulation of Unreasonable Rates.--
       ``(1) Commission regulations.--Within 180 days after the 
     date of enactment of the Cable Television Consumer Protection 
     and Competition Act of 1992, the Commission shall, by 
     regulation, establish the following:
       ``(A) criteria prescribed in accordance with paragraph (2) 
     for identifying, in individual cases, rates for cable 
     programming services that are unreasonable;
       ``(B) fair and expeditious procedures for the receipt, 
     consideration, and resolution of complaints from any 
     franchising authority or other relevant State or local 
     government entity alleging that a rate for cable programming 
     services charged by a cable operator violates the criteria 
     prescribed under subparagraph (A), which procedures shall set 
     forth the minimum showing that shall be required for a 
     complaint to establish a prima facie case that the rate in 
     question is unreasonable; and
       ``(C) the procedures to be used to reduce rates for cable 
     programming services that are determined by the Commission to 
     be unreasonable and to refund such portion of the rates or 
     charges that were paid by subscribers after the filing of 
     such complaint and that are determined to be unreasonable.
       ``(2) Factors to be considered.--In establishing the 
     criteria for determining in individual cases whether rates 
     for cable programming services are unreasonable under 
     paragraph (1)(A), the Commission shall consider, among other 
     factors--
       ``(A) the rates for similarly situated cable systems 
     offering comparable cable programming services, taking into 
     account similarities in facilities, regulatory and 
     governmental costs, the number of subscribers, and other 
     relevant factors;
       ``(B) the rates for comparable cable systems, if any, that 
     are subject to effective competition and that offer 
     comparable services, taking into account, among other 
     factors, similarities in facilities, the number of cable 
     channels, the number of cable subscribers, and local 
     conditions;
       ``(C) the history of the rates for cable programming 
     services of the system, including the relationship of such 
     rates to changes in general consumer prices;
       ``(D) the rates, as a whole, for all the cable programming, 
     equipment, and services provided by the system;
       ``(E) capital and operating costs of the cable system, 
     including costs of obtaining video signals and services;
       ``(F) the quality and costs of the customer service 
     provided by the cable system; and
       ``(G) the revenues (if any) received by a cable operator 
     from advertising from programming that is carried as part of 
     the service for which a rate is being established, and 
     changes in such revenues.
       ``(3) Limitation on complaints concerning existing rates.--
     On and after 180 days after the effective date of the 
     regulations prescribed by the Commission under paragraph (1), 
     the procedures established under subparagraph (B) of such 
     paragraph shall be available only with respect to complaints 
     filed within a reasonable period of time following a change 
     in rates that is initiated after that effective date.
       ``(d) Regulation of Pay-Per-View Charges for Championship 
     Sporting Events.--A State or franchising authority may, 
     without regard to the regulations prescribed by the 
     Commission under subsections (b) and (c), regulate any per-
     program rates charged by a cable operator for any video 
     programming that consists of the national championship game 
     or games between professional teams in baseball, basketball, 
     football, or hockey.
       ``(e) Discrimination; Services for the Hearing Impaired.--
     Nothing in this title shall be construed as prohibiting any 
     Federal agency, State, or a franchising authority from--
       ``(1) prohibiting discrimination among customers of basic 
     service, except that no Federal agency, State, or franchising 
     authority may prohibit a cable operator from offering 
     reasonable discounts to senior citizens or other economically 
     disadvantaged group discounts; or
       ``(2) requiring and regulating the installation or rental 
     of equipment which facilitates the reception of basic cable 
     service by hearing impaired individuals.
       ``(f) Negative Option Billing Prohibited.--A cable operator 
     shall not charge a subscriber for any individually-priced 
     channel of video programming or for any pay-per-view video 
     programming that the subscriber has not affirmatively 
     requested. For purposes of this subsection, a subscriber's 
     failure to refuse a cable operator's proposal to provide such 
     channel or programming shall not be deemed to be an 
     affirmative request for such programming.
       ``(g) Review of Financial Information.--
       ``(1) Collection of information.--The Commission shall, by 
     regulation, require cable operators to file, within 60 days 
     after the effective date of the regulations prescribed under 
     subsection (c)(1) and annually thereafter, such financial 
     information as may be needed for purposes of administering 
     and enforcing this section.
       ``(2) Congressional report.--The Commission shall submit to 
     each House of the Congress, by January 1, 1994, a report on 
     the financial condition, profitability, rates, and 
     performance of the cable industry. Such report shall include 
     such recommendations as the Commission considers appropriate 
     in light of such information. Such report also shall address 
     the availability of discounts for senior citizens and other 
     economically disadvantaged groups.
       ``(h) Prevention of Evasions.--Within 120 days after the 
     date of enactment of the Cable Television Consumer Protection 
     and Competition Act of 1992, the Commission shall, by 
     regulation, establish standards, guidelines, and procedures 
     to prevent evasions of the rates, services, and other 
     requirements of this section and shall, thereafter, 
     periodically review and revise such standards, guidelines, 
     and procedures.
       ``(i) Small System Burdens.--In developing and prescribing 
     regulations pursuant to this section, the Commission shall 
     design such regulations to reduce the administrative burdens 
     and cost of compliance for cable systems that have 1,000 or 
     fewer subscribers.
       ``(j) Rate Regulation Agreements.--During the term of an 
     agreement made before July 1, 1990, by a franchising 
     authority and a cable operator providing for the regulation 
     of basic cable service rates, where there was not effective 
     competition under Commission rules in effect on that date, 
     nothing in this section (or the regulations thereunder) shall 
     abridge the ability of such franchising authority to regulate 
     rates in accordance with such an agreement.
       ``(k) Reports on Average Prices.--The Commission shall 
     publish quarterly statistical reports on the average rates 
     for basic service and other cable programming, and for 
     converter boxes, remote control units, and other equipment, 
     of--
       ``(1) cable systems that the Commission has found are 
     subject to effective competition under subsection (a)(2), 
     compared with
       ``(2) cable systems that the Commission has found are not 
     subject to such effective competition.
       ``(l) Definitions.--As used in this section--
       ``(1) The term `effective competition' means that--
       ``(A) fewer than 30 percent of the households in the 
     franchise area subscribe to the cable service of a cable 
     system;
       ``(B) the franchise area is--
       ``(i) served by at least two unaffiliated multichannel 
     video programming distributors each of which offers 
     comparable video programming to at least 50 percent of the 
     households in the franchise area; and
       ``(ii) the number of households subscribing to programming 
     services offered by multichannel video programming 
     distributors other than the largest multichannel video 
     programming distributor exceeds 15 percent of the households 
     in the franchise area; or
       ``(C) a multichannel video programming distributor operated 
     by the franchising authority for that franchise area offers 
     video programming to at least 50 percent of the households in 
     that franchise area.
       ``(2) The term `cable programming service' means any video 
     programming provided over a cable system, regardless of 
     service tier, other than (A) video programming carried on the 
     basic service tier, and (B) video programming offered on a 
     per channel or per program basis.''.
       (b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by subsection (a) 
     of this section shall take effect 120 days after the date of 
     enact-

[[Page 1523]]

     ment of this Act, except that the authority of the Federal 
     Communications Commission to prescribe regulations is 
     effective on such date of enactment.

       (a) Unreasonable Refusals To Franchise Prohibited.--Section 
     621(a) of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 541(a)) 
     is amended by adding at the end thereof the following:
       ``(4) A franchising authority shall not, in the awarding of 
     franchises within its jurisdiction, grant an exclusive 
     franchise, or unreasonably refuse to award additional 
     franchises because of the previous award of a franchise to 
     another cable operator. For purposes of this paragraph, 
     refusal to award a franchise shall not be unreasonable if, 
     for example, such refusal is on the ground--
       ``(A) of technical infeasibility;
       ``(B) of inadequate assurance that the cable operator will 
     provide adequate public, educational and governmental access 
     channel capacity, facilities, or financial support;
       ``(C) of inadequate assurance that the cable operator will, 
     within a reasonable period of time, provide universal service 
     throughout the entire franchise area under the jurisdiction 
     of the franchising authority;
       ``(D) that such award would interfere with the right of the 
     franchising authority to deny renewal; or
       ``(E) of inadequate assurance that the cable operator has 
     the financial, technical, or legal qualifications to provide 
     cable service.
       ``(5) Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as 
     limiting the authority of local governments to assess fees or 
     taxes for access to public rights of way.''.
       (b) Municipal Authorities Permitted To Operate Systems.--
     Section 621 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 541) 
     is amended--
       (1) by inserting ``and subsection (f)'' before the comma in 
     subsection (b)(1); and
       (2) by adding at the end the following new subsection:
       ``(f) No provision of this Act shall be construed to--
       ``(1) prohibit a local or municipal authority that is also, 
     or is affiliated with, a franchising authority from operating 
     as a multichannel video programming distributor in the 
     geographic areas within the jurisdiction of such franchising 
     authority, notwithstanding the granting of one or more 
     franchises by such franchising authority, or
       ``(2) require such local or municipal authority to secure a 
     franchise to operate as a multichannel video programming 
     distributor.''.
       (c) Clarification of Local Authority To Regulate 
     Ownership.--Section 613(d) of the Communications Act of 1934 
     (47 U.S.C. 533(d)) is amended--
       (1) by striking ``any media'' and inserting ``any other 
     media''; and
       (2) by adding after the period at the end thereof the 
     following: ``Nothing in this section shall be construed to 
     prevent any State or franchising authority from prohibiting 
     the ownership or control of a cable system in a jurisdiction 
     by any person (1) because of such person's ownership or 
     control of any other cable system in such jurisdiction; or 
     (2) in circumstances in which the State or franchising 
     authority determines that the acquisition of such a cable 
     system may eliminate or reduce competition in the delivery of 
     cable service in such jurisdiction.''.
       (d) Lease/Buy-Back Authority.--Section 613(b)(2) of the 
     Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 533(b)(2)) is amended 
     by adding at the end the following: ``This paragraph shall 
     not prohibit a common carrier from providing multiple 
     channels of communication to an entity pursuant to a lease 
     agreement under which the carrier retains, consistent with 
     section 616, an option to purchase such entity upon the 
     taking effect of an amendment to this section that permits 
     common carriers generally to provide video programming 
     directly to subscribers in such carrier's telephone service 
     area.''.

     SEC. 5. CARRIAGE OF LOCAL COMMERCIAL TELEVISION SIGNALS.

       Part II of title VI of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 
     U.S.C. 531 et seq.) is amended by inserting after section 613 
     the following new section:

     ``SEC. 614. CARRIAGE OF LOCAL COMMERCIAL TELEVISION SIGNALS.

       ``(a) Carriage Obligations.--Each cable operator shall 
     carry, on the cable system of that operator, the signals of 
     local commercial television stations as provided by the 
     following provisions of this section. Carriage of additional 
     broadcast television signals on such system shall be at the 
     discretion of such operator.
       ``(b) Signals Required.--
       ``(1) In general.--(A) A cable operator of a cable system 
     with 12 or fewer usable activated channels shall carry the 
     signals of at least three local commercial television 
     stations, except that if such a system has 300 or fewer 
     subscribers, it shall not be subject to any requirements 
     under this section so long as such system does not delete 
     from carriage by that system any signal of a broadcast 
     television station.
       ``(B) A cable operator of a cable system with more than 12 
     usable activated channels shall carry the signals of local 
     commercial television stations up to one third of the 
     aggregate number of usable activated channels of such system.
       ``(2) Selection of signals.--Whenever the number of local 
     commercial television stations exceeds the maximum number of 
     signals a cable system is required to carry under paragraph 
     (1), the cable operator shall have discretion in selecting 
     which such stations shall be carried on its cable system, 
     except that if the cable operator elects to carry an 
     affiliate of a broadcast network (as such term is defined by 
     the Commission by regulation), such cable operator shall 
     carry the affiliate of such broadcast network whose city of 
     license reference point, as defined in section 76.53 of title 
     47, Code of Federal Regulations (in effect on January 1, 
     1991), or any successor regulation thereto, is closest to the 
     principal headend of the cable system.
       ``(3) Content to be carried.--(A) A cable operator shall 
     carry in its entirety, on the cable system of that operator, 
     the primary video, accompanying audio, and line 21 closed 
     caption transmission of each of the local commercial 
     television stations carried on the cable system and, to the 
     extent technically feasible, program-related material carried 
     in the vertical blanking interval or on subcarriers. 
     Retransmission of other material in the vertical blanking 
     internal or other nonprogram-related material (including 
     teletext and other subscription and advertiser-supported 
     information services) shall be at the discretion of the cable 
     operator. Where appropriate and feasible, operators may 
     delete signal enhancements, such as ghost-canceling, from the 
     broadcast signal and employ such enhancements at the system 
     headend or headends.
       ``(B) The cable operator shall carry the entirety of the 
     program schedule of any television station carried on the 
     cable system unless carriage of specific programming is 
     prohibited, and other programming authorized to be 
     substituted, under section 76.67 or subpart F of part 76 of 
     title 47, Code of Federal Regulations (as in effect on 
     January 1, 1991), or any successor regulations thereto.
       ``(4) Signal quality.--
       ``(A) Nondegradation; technical specifications.--The 
     signals of local commercial television stations that a cable 
     operator carries shall be carried without material 
     degradation. The Commission shall adopt carriage standards to 
     ensure that, to the extent technically feasible, the quality 
     of signal processing and carriage provided by a cable system 
     for the carriage of local commercial television stations will 
     be no less than that provided by the system for carriage of 
     any other type of signal.
       ``(B) Advanced television.--At such time as the Commission 
     prescribes modifications of the standards for television 
     broadcast signals, the Commission shall initiate a proceeding 
     to establish any changes in the signal carriage requirements 
     of cable television systems necessary to ensure cable 
     carriage of such broadcast signals of local commercial 
     television stations which have been changed to conform with 
     such modified standards.
       ``(5) Duplication not required.--Notwithstanding paragraph 
     (1), a cable operator shall not be required to carry the 
     signal of any local commercial television station that 
     substantially duplicates the signal of another local 
     commercial television station which is carried on its cable 
     system, or to carry the signals of more than one local 
     commercial television station affiliated with a particular 
     broadcast network (as such term is defined by regulation). If 
     a cable operator elects to carry on its cable system a signal 
     which substantially duplicates the signal of another local 
     commercial television station carried on the cable system, or 
     to carry on its system the signals of more than one local 
     commercial television station affiliated with a particular 
     broadcast network, all such signals shall be counted toward 
     the number of signals the operator is required to carry under 
     paragraph (1).
       ``(6) Channel positioning.--Each signal carried in 
     fulfillment of the carriage obligations of a cable operator 
     under this section shall be carried on the cable system 
     channel number on which the local commercial television 
     station is broadcast over the air, or on the channel on which 
     it was carried on July 19, 1985, or on the channel on which 
     it was carried on January 1, 1992, at the election of the 
     station, or on such other channel number as is mutually 
     agreed upon by the station and the cable operator. Any 
     dispute regarding the positioning of a local commercial 
     television station shall be resolved by the Commission.
       ``(7) Signal availability.--Signals carried in fulfillment 
     of the requirements of this section shall be provided to 
     every subscriber of a cable system. Such signals shall be 
     viewable via cable on all television receivers of a 
     subscriber which are connected to a cable system by a cable 
     operator or for which a cable operator provides a connection. 
     If a cable operator authorizes subscribers to install 
     additional receiver connections, but does not provide the 
     subscriber with such connections, or with the equipment and 
     materials for such connections, the operator shall notify 
     such subscribers of all broadcast stations carried on the 
     cable system which cannot be viewed via cable without a 
     converter box and shall offer to sell or lease such a 
     converter box to such subscribers at rates in accordance with 
     section 623(b)(1)(B).
       ``(8) Identification of signals carried.--A cable operator 
     shall identify, upon request by any person, the signals 
     carried on its system in fulfillment of the requirements of 
     this section.
       ``(9) Notification.--A cable operator shall provide written 
     notice to a local commercial television station at least 30 
     days prior to either deleting from carriage or repositioning 
     that station. No deletion or repositioning of a local 
     commercial television station shall occur during a period in 
     which major tele-

[[Page 1524]]

     vision ratings services measure the size of audiences of 
     local television stations. The notification provisions of 
     this paragraph shall not be used to undermine or evade the 
     channel positioning or carriage requirements imposed upon 
     cable operators under this section.
       ``(10) Compensation for carriage.--A cable operator shall 
     not accept or request monetary payment or other valuable 
     consideration in exchange either for carriage of local 
     commercial television stations in fulfillment of the 
     requirements of this section or for the channel positioning 
     rights provided to such stations under this section, except 
     that--
       ``(A) any such station may be required to bear the costs 
     associated with delivering a good quality signal to the 
     headend of the cable system;
       ``(B) a cable operator may accept payments from stations 
     which would be considered distant signals under section 111 
     of title 17, United States Code, as reimbursement for the 
     incremental copyright costs assessed against such cable 
     operator for carriage of such signal; and
       ``(C) a cable operator may continue to accept monetary 
     payment or other valuable consideration in exchange for 
     carriage or channel positioning of the signal of any local 
     commercial television station carried in fulfillment of the 
     requirements of this section, through, but not beyond, the 
     date of expiration of an agreement thereon between a cable 
     operator and a local commercial television station entered 
     into prior to June 26, 1990.
       ``(c) Remedies.--
       ``(1) Complaints by broadcast stations.--Whenever a local 
     commercial television station believes that a cable operator 
     has failed to meet its obligations under this section, such 
     station shall notify the operator, in writing, of the alleged 
     failure and identify its reasons for believing that the cable 
     operator is obligated to carry the signal of such station or 
     has otherwise failed to comply with the channel positioning 
     or repositioning or other requirements of this section. The 
     cable operator shall, within 30 days of such written 
     notification, respond in writing to such notification and 
     either commence to carry the signal of such station in 
     accordance with the terms requested or state its reasons for 
     believing that it is not obligated to carry such signal or is 
     in compliance with the channel positioning and repositioning 
     and other requirements of this section. A local commercial 
     television station that is denied carriage or channel 
     positioning or repositioning in accordance with this section 
     by a cable operator may obtain review of such denial by 
     filing a complaint with the Commission. Such complaint shall 
     allege the manner in which such cable operator has failed to 
     meet its obligations and the basis for such allegations.
       ``(2) Opportunity to respond.--The Commission shall afford 
     such cable operator an opportunity to present data and 
     arguments to establish that there has been no failure to meet 
     its obligations under this section.
       ``(3) Remedial actions; dismissal.--Within 120 days after 
     the date a complaint is filed, the Commission shall determine 
     whether the cable operator has met its obligations under this 
     section. If the Commission determines that the cable operator 
     has failed to meet such obligations, the Commission shall 
     order the cable operator to reposition the complaining 
     station or, in the case of an obligation to carry a station, 
     to commence carriage of the station and to continue such 
     carriage for at least 12 months. If the Commission determines 
     that the cable operator has fully met the requirements of 
     this section, it shall dismiss the complaint.
       ``(d) Input Selector Switch Rules Abolished.--No cable 
     operator shall be required--
       ``(1) to provide or make available any input selector 
     switch as defined in section 76.5(mm) of title 47, Code of 
     Federal Regulations, or any comparable device, or
       ``(2) to provide information to subscribers about input 
     selector switches or comparable devices.
       ``(e) Regulations by Commission.--Within 180 days after the 
     date of enactment of this section, the Commission shall, 
     following a rulemaking proceeding, issue regulations 
     implementing the requirements imposed by this section. Such 
     implementing regulations shall include necessary revisions to 
     update section 76.51 of the Commission's regulations (47 
     C.F.R. 76.51).
       ``(f) Sales Presentations and Program Length Commercials.--
     Nothing in this Act shall require a cable operator to carry 
     on any tier, or prohibit a cable operator from carrying on 
     any tier, the signal of any commercial television station or 
     video programming service that is predominantly utilized for 
     the transmission of sales presentations or program length 
     commercials.
       ``(g) Effect on Other Law.--Nothing in this section shall 
     be construed to modify or otherwise affect title 17, United 
     States Code.
       ``(h) Definition.--
       ``(1) Local commercial television station.--For purposes of 
     this section, the term `local commercial television station' 
     means any television broadcast station, determined by the 
     Commission to be a commercial station, licensed and operating 
     on a channel regularly assigned to its community by the 
     Commission that, with respect to a particular cable system, 
     is within the same television market as the cable system. If 
     such a television broadcast station--
       ``(A) would be considered a distant signal under section 
     111 of title 17, United States Code, it shall be deemed to be 
     a local commercial television station for purposes of this 
     section upon agreement to indemnify the cable operator for 
     the increased copyright liability as a result of being 
     carried on the cable system; or
       ``(B) does not deliver to the principal headend of a cable 
     system either a signal level of -45dBm for UHF signals or 
     -49dBm for VHF signals at the input terminals of the signal 
     processing equipment, it shall be responsible for the costs 
     of delivering to the cable system a signal of good quality or 
     a baseband video signal.
       ``(2) Exclusions.--The term `local commercial television 
     station' shall not include low power television stations, 
     television translator stations, and passive repeaters which 
     operate pursuant to part 74 of title 47, Code of Federal 
     Regulations, or any successor regulations thereto.
       ``(3) Market determinations.--(A) For purposes of this 
     section, a broadcasting station's market shall be determined 
     in the manner provided in section 73.3555(d)(3)(i) of title 
     47, Code of Federal Regulations, as in effect on May 1, 1991, 
     except that, following a written request, the Commission may, 
     with respect to a particular television broadcast station, 
     include additional communities within its television market 
     or exclude communities from such station's television market 
     to better effectuate the purposes of this section. In 
     considering such requests, the Commission may determine that 
     particular communities are part of more than one television 
     market.
       ``(B) In considering requests filed pursuant to 
     subparagraph (A), the Commission shall afford particular 
     attention to the value of localism by taking into account 
     such factors as--
       ``(i) whether the station, or other stations located in the 
     same area, have been historically carried on the cable system 
     or systems within such community;
       ``(ii) whether the television station provides coverage or 
     other local service to such community;
       ``(iii) whether any other television station that is 
     eligible to be carried by a cable system in such community in 
     fulfillment of the requirements of this section provides news 
     coverage of issues of concern to such community or provides 
     carriage or coverage of sporting and other events of interest 
     to the community; and
       ``(iv) evidence of viewing patterns in cable and noncable 
     households within the areas served by the cable system or 
     systems in such community.
       ``(C) A cable operator shall not delete from carriage the 
     signal of a commercial television station during the pendency 
     of any proceeding pursuant to this paragraph.
       ``(D) In the rulemaking proceeding required by subsection 
     (e), the Commission shall provide for expedited consideration 
     of requests filed under this subsection.''.

     SEC. 6. CARRIAGE OF NONCOMMERCIAL STATIONS.

       Part II of title VI of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 
     U.S.C. 531 et seq.) is further amended by inserting after 
     section 614, as added by section 4, the following new 
     section:

     ``SEC. 615. CARRIAGE OF NONCOMMERCIAL EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION.

       ``(a) Carriage Obligations.--In addition to the carriage 
     requirements set forth in section 614, each cable operator of 
     a cable system shall carry the signals of qualified 
     noncommercial educational television stations in accordance 
     with the provisions of this section.
       ``(b) Requirements To Carry Qualified Stations.--
       ``(1) General requirement to carry each qualified 
     station.--Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3) and subsection 
     (e), each cable operator shall carry, on the cable system of 
     that cable operator, any qualified local noncommercial 
     educational television station requesting carriage.
       ``(2)(A) Systems with 12 or fewer channels.--
     Notwithstanding paragraph (1), a cable operator of a cable 
     system with 12 or fewer usable activated channels shall be 
     required to carry the signal of one qualified local 
     noncommercial educational television station; except that a 
     cable operator of such a system shall comply with subsection 
     (c) and may, in its discretion, carry the signals of other 
     qualified noncommercial educational television stations.
       ``(B) In the case of a cable system described in 
     subparagraph (A) which operates beyond the presence of any 
     qualified local noncommercial educational television 
     station--
       ``(i) the cable operator shall carry on that system the 
     signal of one qualified noncommercial educational television 
     station;
       ``(ii) the selection for carriage of such a signal shall be 
     at the election of the cable operator; and

     specified in this subsection, the cable operator of the 
     system shall not be required to remove any other programming 
     service actually provided to subscribers on March 29, 1990; 
     except that such cable operator shall use the first channel 
     available to satisfy the requirements of this subparagraph.
       ``(3) Systems with 13 to 36 channels.--(A) Subject to 
     subsection (c), a cable operator of a cable system with 13 to 
     36 usable activated channels--

     local noncommercial educational television station but shall 
     not be required to carry the signals of more than three such 
     stations, and

[[Page 1525]]

       ``(ii) may, in its discretion, carry additional such 
     stations.
       ``(B) In the case of a cable system described in this 
     paragraph which operates beyond the presence of any qualified 
     local noncommercial educational television station, the cable 
     operator shall import the signal of at least one qualified 
     noncommercial educational television station to comply with 
     subparagraph (A)(i).
       ``(C) The cable operator of a cable system described in 
     this paragraph which carries the signal of a qualified local 
     noncommercial educational station affiliated with a State 
     public television network shall not be required to carry the 
     signal of any additional qualified local noncommercial 
     educational television stations affiliated with the same 
     network if the programming of such additional stations is 
     substantially duplicated by the programming of the qualified 
     local noncommercial educational television station receiving 
     carriage.
       ``(D) A cable operator of a system described in this 
     paragraph which increases the usable activated channel 
     capacity of the system to more than 36 channels on or after 
     March 29, 1990, shall, in accordance with the other 
     provisions of this section, carry the signal of each 
     qualified local noncommercial educational television station 
     requesting carriage, subject to subsection (e).
       ``(c) Continued Carriage of Existing Stations.--
     Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, all 
     cable operators shall continue to provide carriage to all 
     qualified local noncommercial educational television stations 
     whose signals were carried on their systems as of March 29, 
     1990. The requirements of this subsection may be waived with 
     respect to a particular cable operator and a particular such 
     station, upon the written consent of the cable operator and 
     the station.
       ``(d) Placement of Additional Signals.--A cable operator 
     required to add the signals of qualified local noncommercial 
     educational television stations to a cable system under this 
     section may do so, subject to approval by franchising 
     authority pursuant to section 611 of this title, by placing 
     such additional stations on public, educational, or 
     governmental channels not in use for their designated 
     purposes.
       ``(e) Systems With More Than 36 Channels.--A cable operator 
     of a cable system with a capacity of more than 36 usable 
     activated channels which is required to carry the signals of 
     three qualified local noncommercial educational television 
     stations shall not be required to carry the signals of 
     additional such stations the programming of which 
     substantially duplicates the programming broadcast by another 
     qualified local noncommercial educational television station 
     requesting carriage. Substantial duplication shall be defined 
     by the Commission in a manner that promotes access to 
     distinctive noncommercial educational television services.
       ``(f) Waiver of Nonduplication Rights.--A qualified local 
     noncommercial educational television station whose signal is 
     carried by a cable operator shall not assert any network 
     nonduplication rights it may have pursuant to section 76.92 
     of title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, to require the 
     deletion of programs aired on other qualified local 
     noncommercial educational television stations whose signals 
     are carried by that cable operator.
       ``(g) Conditions of Carriage.--
       ``(1) Content to be carried.--A cable operator shall 
     retransmit in its entirety the primary video, accompanying 
     audio, and line 21 closed caption transmission of each 
     qualified local noncommercial educational television station 
     whose signal is carried on the cable system, and, to the 
     extent technically feasible, program-related material carried 
     in the vertical blanking interval, or on subcarriers, that 
     may be necessary for receipt of programming by handicapped 
     persons or for educational or language purposes. 
     Retransmission of other material in the vertical blanking 
     interval or on subcarriers shall be within the discretion of 
     the cable operator.
       ``(2) Band-width and technical quality.--A cable operator 
     shall provide each qualified local noncommercial educational 
     television station whose signal is carried in accordance with 
     this section with band-width and technical capacity 
     equivalent to that provided to commercial television 
     broadcast stations carried on the cable system and shall 
     carry the signal of each qualified local noncommercial 
     educational television station without material degradation.
       ``(3) Changes in carriage.--The signal of a qualified local 
     noncommercial educational television station shall not be 
     repositioned by a cable operator unless the cable operator, 
     at least 30 days in advance of such repositioning, has 
     provided written notice to the station and all subscribers of 
     the cable system. For purposes of this paragraph, 
     repositioning includes (A) assignment of a qualified local 
     noncommercial educational television station to a cable 
     system channel number different from the cable system channel 
     number to which the station was assigned as of March 29, 
     1990, and (B) deletion of the station from the cable system. 
     The notifications provisions of this paragraph shall not be 
     used to undermine or evade the channel positioning or 
     carriage requirements imposed upon cable operators under this 
     section.
       ``(4) Good quality signal required.--Notwithstanding the 
     other provisions of this section, a cable operator shall not 
     be required to carry the signal of any qualified local 
     noncommercial educational television station which does not 
     deliver to the cable system's principal headend a signal of 
     good quality, as may be defined by the Commission.
       ``(5) Channel positioning.--Each signal carried in 
     fulfillment of the carriage obligations of a cable operator 
     under this section shall be carried on the cable system 
     channel number on which the local noncommercial television 
     station is broadcast over the air, or on the channel on which 
     it was carried on July 19, 1985, at the election of the 
     station, or on such other channel number as is mutually 
     agreed upon by the station and the cable operator. Any 
     dispute regarding the positioning of a local noncommercial 
     television station shall be resolved by the Commission.
       ``(h) Availability of Signals.--Signals carried in 
     fulfillment of the carriage obligations of a cable operator 
     under this section shall be available to every subscriber as 
     part of the cable system's lowest priced service tier that 
     includes the retransmission of local commercial television 
     broadcast signals.
       ``(i) Payment for Carriage Prohibited.--
       ``(1) In general.--A cable operator shall not accept 
     monetary payment or other valuable consideration in exchange 
     for carriage of the signal of any qualified local 
     noncommercial educational television station carried in 
     fulfillment of the requirements of this section, except that 
     such a station may be required to bear the cost associated 
     with delivering a good quality signal to the principal 
     headend of the cable system.
       ``(2) Distant signal exception.--Notwithstanding the 
     provisions of this section, a cable operator shall not be 
     required to add the signal of a qualified local noncommercial 
     educational television station not already carried under the 
     provision of subsection (c), where such signal would be 
     considered a distant signal for copyright purposes unless 
     such station reimburses the cable operator for the 
     incremental copyright costs assessed against such cable 
     operator as a result of such carriage.
       ``(j) Remedies.--
       ``(1) Complaint.--Whenever a qualified local noncommercial 
     educational television station believes that a cable operator 
     of a cable system has failed to comply with the signal 
     carriage requirements of this section, the station may file a 
     complaint with the Commission. Such complaint shall allege 
     the manner in which such cable operator has failed to comply 
     with such requirements and state the basis for such 
     allegations.
       ``(2) Opportunity to respond.--The Commission shall afford 
     such cable operator an opportunity to present data, views, 
     and arguments to establish that the cable operator has 
     complied with the signal carriage requirements of this 
     section.
       ``(3) Remedial actions; dismissal.--Within 120 days after 
     the date a complaint is filed under this subsection, the 
     Commission shall determine whether the cable operator has 
     complied with the requirements of this section. If the 
     Commission determines that the cable operator has failed to 
     comply with such requirements, the Commission shall state 
     with particularity the basis for such findings and order the 
     cable operator to take such remedial action as is necessary 
     to meet such requirements. If the Commission determines that 
     the cable operator has fully complied with such requirements, 
     the Commission shall dismiss the complaint.
       ``(k) Identification of Signals.--A cable operator shall 
     identify, upon request by any person, those signals carried 
     in fulfillment of the requirements of this section.
       ``(l) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--
       ``(1) Qualified noncommercial educational television 
     station.--The term `qualified noncommercial educational 
     television station' means any television broadcast station

     SEC. 9. CONSUMER ELECTRONICS EQUIPMENT COMPATIBILITY.

       The Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 151 et seq.) is 
     amended by adding after section 624 the following new 
     section:

     ``SEC. 624A. CONSUMER ELECTRONICS EQUIPMENT COMPATIBILITY.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) new and recent models of television receivers and 
     video cassette recorders often contain premium features and 
     functions that are disabled or inhibited because of cable 
     scrambling, encoding, or encryption technologies and devices, 
     including converter boxes and remote control devices required 
     by cable operators to receive programming;
       ``(2) if these problems are allowed to persist, consumers 
     will be less likely to purchase, and electronics equipment 
     manufacturers will be less likely to develop, manufacture, or 
     offer for sale, television receivers and video cassette 
     recorders with new and innovative features and functions; and
       ``(3) cable system operators should use technologies that 
     will prevent signal thefts while permitting consumers to 
     benefit from such features and functions in such receivers 
     and recorders.
       ``(b) Compatible Interfaces.--Within 1 year after the date 
     of enactment of this section, the Commission, in consultation 
     with representatives of the cable industry and the consumer 
     electronics industry, shall report to the Congress on means 
     of assuring compatibility between televisions and video 
     cassette recorders and cable systems, consistent with the 
     need to prevent theft of cable service, so that cable 
     subscribers will be able to enjoy the full benefit of both 
     the programming available on cable systems and the functions 
     available on their televisions and video cassette recorders. 
     The Commission shall issue such regulations as may be 
     necessary to require the use of interfaces that assure such 
     compatibility.
       ``(c) Rulemaking Required.--
       ``(1) In general.--Within 1 year after the date of 
     submission of the report required by subsection (b), the 
     Commission shall prescribe such regulations as are necessary 
     to increase compatibility between television receivers 
     equipped with premium functions and features, video cassette 
     recorders, and cable systems.
       ``(2) Factors to be considered.--In prescribing the 
     regulations required by this subsection, the Commission shall 
     consider--
       ``(A) the costs and benefits of requiring cable operators 
     to adhere to technical standards for scrambling or encryption 
     of video programming in a manner that will minimize 
     interference with or nullification of the special functions 
     of subscribers' television receivers or video cassette 
     recorders, while providing effective protection against theft 
     or unauthorized reception of cable service, including 
     functions that permit the subscriber--
       ``(i) to watch a program on 1 channel while simultaneously 
     using a video cassette recorder to tape a program on another 
     channel;
       ``(ii) to use a video cassette recorder to tape 2 
     consecutive programs that appear on different channels; or
       ``(iii) to use advanced television picture generation and 
     display features;
       ``(B) the potential for achieving economies of scale by 
     requiring manufacturers of television receivers to 
     incorporate technologies to achieve such compatibility in all 
     television receivers;
       ``(C) the costs and benefits to consumers of imposing 
     compatibility requirements on cable operators and television 
     manufacturers; and
       ``(D) the need for cable operators to protect the integrity 
     of the signals transmitted by the cable operator against 
     theft or to protect such signals against unauthorized 
     reception.
       ``(3) Regulations required.--The regulations prescribed by 
     the Commission under this section shall include such 
     regulations as are necessary--
       ``(A) to establish the technical requirements that permit a 
     television receiver or video cassette recorder to be sold as 
     `cable ready';
       ``(B) to establish procedures by which manufacturers may 
     certify television receivers that comply with the technical 
     requirements established under subparagraph (A) of this 
     paragraph in a manner that, at the point of sale is easily 
     understood by potential purchasers of such receivers;
       ``(C) provide appropriate penalties for willful 
     misrepresentations concerning such certifications;
       ``(D) to promote the commercial availability, from cable 
     operators and retail vendors that are not affiliated with 
     cable systems, of converters and of remote control devices 
     compatible with converters;
       ``(E) to require a cable operator who offers subscribers 
     the option of renting a remote control unit--
       ``(i) to notify subscribers that they may purchase a 
     commercially available remote control device from any source 
     that sells such devices rather than renting it from the cable 
     operator; and
       ``(ii) to specify the types of remote control units that 
     are compatible with the converter box supplied by the cable 
     operator; and
       ``(F) to prohibit a cable operator from taking any action 
     that prevents or in any way disables the converter box 
     supplied by the cable operator from operating compatibly with 
     commercially available remote control units.
       ``(d) Review of Regulations.--The Commission shall 
     periodically review and, if necessary, modify the regulations 
     issued pursuant to this section in light of any actions taken 
     in response to regulations issued under subsection (c) and to 
     reflect improvements and changes in cable systems, television 
     receivers, video cassette recorders, and similar technology.
       ``(e) Feasibility and Cost.--The Commission shall adopt 
     standards under this section that are technologically and 
     economically feasible. In determining the feasibility of such 
     standards, the Commission shall take into account the cost 
     and benefit to cable subscribers and purchasers of television 
     receivers of such standards.''.

     SEC. 10. NOTICE TO CABLE SUBSCRIBERS ON UNSOLICITED SEXUALLY 
                   EXPLICIT PROGRAMS.

       Section 624(d) of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 
     544(d)) is amended by adding at the end the following new 
     paragraph:
       ``(3)(A) If a cable operator provides a premium channel 
     without charge to cable subscribers who do not subscribe to 
     such premium channel, the cable operator shall, not later 
     than 30 days before such premium channel is provided withouth 
     charge--
       ``(i) notify all cable subscribers that the cable operator 
     plans to provide a premium channel without charge,
       ``(ii) notify all cable subscribers when the cable operator 
     plans to offer a premium channel without charge,
       ``(iii) notify all cable subscribers that they have a right 
     to request that the channel carrying the premium channel be 
     blocked, and
       ``(iv) block the channel carrying the premium channel upon 
     the request of a subscriber.
       ``(B) For the purpose of this section, the term `premium 
     channel' shall mean any pay service offered on a per channel 
     or per program basis, which offers movies rated by the Motion 
     Picture Association as X, NR-17, or R.''.

     SEC. 11. TECHNICAL STANDARDS; EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENTS; 
                   PROGRAMMING CHANGES.

       (a) Technical Standards.--Section 624(e) of the 
     Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 544(e)) is amended to

     systems' technical operation and signal quality. The 
     Commission shall update such standards periodically to 
     reflect improvements in technology. A franchising authority 
     may require as part of a franchise (including a modification, 
     renewal, or transfer thereof) provisions for the enforcement 
     of the standards prescribed under this subsection. A 
     franchising authority may apply to the Commission for a 
     waiver to impose standards that are more stringent than the 
     standards prescribed by the Commission under this 
     subsection.''.
       (b) Emergency Announcements.--Section 624 of such Act is 
     further amended by adding at the end the following new 
     subsection:
       ``(g) Notwithstanding any such rule, regulation, or order, 
     each cable operator shall comply with such standards as the 
     Commission shall prescribe to ensure that viewers of video 
     programming on cable systems are afforded the same emergency 
     information as is afforded by the emergency broadcasting 
     system pursuant to Commission regulations in subpart G of 
     part 73, title 47, Code of Federal Regulations.''.

     practices, the purpose or effect of which is to hinder 
     significantly or to prevent any multichannel video 
     programming distributor from providing satellite cable 
     programming to subscribers or consumers.
       ``(c) Regulations Required.--
       ``(1) Proceeding required.--Within 180 days after the 
     enactment of this Act, the Commission shall, in order to 
     promote the public interest, convenience, and necessity by

     programming distributor;
       ``(B) prohibit discrimination by a satellite cable 
     programming vendor in which a cable operator has an 
     attributable interest in the price, terms, and conditions in 
     the sale or delivery of satellite cable programming among or 
     between cable systems, cable operators, or their agents or 
     buying groups, or other multichannel video programming 
     distributors; except that such a satellite cable programming 
     vendor in which a cable operator has an attributable interest 
     shall not be prohibited from--
       ``(i) imposing reasonable requirements for 
     creditworthiness, offering of service, and financial 
     stability and standards regarding character and technical 
     quality;
       ``(ii) establishing different prices, terms, and conditions 
     to take into account actual and reasonable differences in the 
     cost of creation, sale, delivery, or transmission of 
     satellite cable programming;
       ``(iii) establishing different price, terms, and conditions 
     which take into account reasonable volume discounts based on 
     the number of subscribers served by the distributor; or
       ``(iv) entering into an exclusive contract that is 
     permitted under subparagraph (D);
       ``(C) prohibit practices, understandings, arrangements, or 
     activities, including exclusive contracts for satellite cable 
     programming between a cable operator and a cable satellite 
     programming vendor, which prevent a multichannel video 
     programming distributor from obtaining such programming from

     persons in areas not served by a cable operator as of the 
     date of enactment of this section; and
       ``(D) with respect to distribution to persons in areas 
     served by a cable operator, prohibit exclusive contracts for 
     satellite cable programming between a cable operator and a 
     satellite cable programming vendor in which a cable operator 
     has an attributable interest, unless the Commission 
     determines (in accordance with paragraph (4)) that such 
     contract is in the public interest.
       ``(3) Geographic limitations.--Nothing in this section 
     shall require any person who is engaged in the national or 
     regional distribution of video programming to make such 
     programming available in any geographic area beyond which 
     such programming has been authorized or licensed for 
     distribution. Nothing in this section shall apply to the 
     signal of any broadcast affiliate of a national television 
     network or other television signal that is retransmitted by 
     satellite, and shall not apply to any internal satellite 
     communication of any broadcast network or cable network, 
     except that satellite broadcast programming shall be subject 
     to the requirements of this section.
       ``(4) Public interest determinations on exclusive 
     contracts.--In determining whether an exclusive contract is 
     in the public interest for purposes of paragraph (2)(D), the 
     Commission shall consider each of the following factors with 
     respect to the effect of such contract on the distribution of 
     video programming in areas that are served by a cable 
     operator:
       ``(A) the effect of such exclusive contract on the

     regulations governing program carriage agreements and related 
     practices between cable operators or other multichannel video

     regulations shall--
       ``(1) include provisions designed to prevent a cable 
     operator or other multichannel video programming distributor 
     from requiring a financial interest in a program service as a 
     condition for carriage on one or more of such operator's 
     systems;
       ``(2) include provisions designed to prohibit a cable

     SEC. 14. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds and declares that--
       (1) despite the existence of regulations governing equal 
     employment opportunity, females and minorities are not 
     employed in significant numbers in positions of management 
     authority in the cable television and broadcast industries;
       (2) increased numbers of females and minorities in 
     positions of management authority in the cable television and 
     broadcast industries advances the Nation's policy favoring 
     diversity in the expression of views in the electronic media; 
     and
       (3) rigorous enforcement of equal employment opportunity 
     rules and regulations is required in order to effectively 
     deter racial and gender discrimination.
       (b) Standards.--Section 634(d)(1) of the Communication Act 
     of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 554(d)(1)) is amended to read as follows:
       ``(d)(1) Not later than 270 days after the date of 
     enactment of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and 
     Competition Act of 1992, of this section, and after notice 
     and opportunity for hearing, the Commission shall prescribe 
     revisions in the rules under this section in order to 
     implement the amendments made to this section by such Act. 
     Such revisions shall be designed to promote equality of 
     employment opportunities for females and minorities in each 
     of the job categories itemized in paragraph (3) of this 
     subsection.''.
       (c) Contents of Annual Statistical Reports.--Section 
     634(d)(3) of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 
     554(d)(3)) is amended to read as follows:
       ``(3)(A) Such rules also shall require an entity specified 
     in subsection (a) with more than 5 full-time employees to 
     file with the Commission an annual statistical report 
     identifying by race, sex, and job title the number of 
     employees in each of the following full-time and part-time 
     job categories:
       ``(i) Corporate officers.
       ``(ii) General Manager.
       ``(iii) Chief Technician.
       ``(iv) Comptroller.
       ``(v) General Sales Manager.
       ``(vi) Production Manager.
       ``(vii) Managers.
       ``(viii) Professionals.
       ``(ix) Technicians.
       ``(x) Sales.
       ``(xi) Office and Clerical.
       ``(xii) Skilled Craftspersons.
       ``(xiii) Semiskilled Operatives.
       ``(xiv) Unskilled Laborers.
       ``(xv) Service Workers.
       ``(B) The report required by subparagraph (A) shall be made 
     on separate forms, provided by the Commission, for full-time 
     and part-time employees. The Commission's rules shall 
     sufficiently define job categories (i) through (vi) of such 
     subparagraph so as to ensure that only employees who are 
     principal decisionmakers and that have supervisory authority 
     are reported for such categories. The Commission shall adopt 
     rules that define job categories (vii) through (xv) in a 
     manner that is consistent with the Commission policies in 
     effect on June 1, 1990. The Commission shall prescribe the 
     method by which entities shall be required to compute and 
     report the number of minorities and women in job categories 
     (i) through (x) and the number of minorities and women in job 
     categories (i) through (xv) in proportion to the total number 
     of qualified minorities and women in the relevant labor 
     market. The report shall include information on hiring, 
     promotion, and recruitment practices necessary for the 
     Commission to evaluate the efforts of entities to comply with 
     the provisions of paragraph (2) of this subsection. The 
     report shall be available for public inspection at the 
     entity's central location and at every location where 5 or 
     more full-time employees are regularly assigned to work. 
     Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as prohibiting 
     the Commission from collecting or continuing to collect 
     statistical or other employment information in a manner that 
     it deems appropriate to carry out this section.''.
       (d) Penalties.--Section 634(f)(2) of such Act is amended by 
     striking ``$200'' and inserting ``$500''.
       (e) Application of Requirements.--Section 634(h)(1) of such 
     Act is further amended by inserting before the period the 
     following: ``and any multichannel video programming 
     distributor''.
       (f) Study and Report Required.--Not later than 240 days 
     after the date of enactment of the Cable Television Consumer 
     Protection and Competition Act of 1992, the Commission shall 
     submit to the Congress a report pursuant to a proceeding to 
     review and obtain public comment on the effect and operation 
     of its procedures, regulations, policies, standards, and 
     guidelines concerning equal employment opportunity in the 
     broadcasting industry. In conducting such review, the 
     Commission shall consider the effectiveness of such 
     procedures, regulations, policies, standards, and guidelines 
     in promoting equality of employment opportunity and promotion 
     opportunity, and particularly the effectiveness of such 
     procedures, regulations, policies, standards, and guidelines 
     in promoting the congressional policy favoring increased 
     employment opportunity for women and minorities in positions 
     of management authority. In conducting such proceeding the 
     Commission also shall review the effectiveness of penalties 
     and remedies for violation of existing regulations and 
     policies concerning equality of employment opportunity in the 
     broadcasting industry. The Commission shall forward to the 
     Congress such legislative recommendations to improve equal 
     employment opportunity in the broadcasting industry as it 
     deems necessary.
       (g) Broadcasting Equal Employment Opportunity.--Part II of 
     title VI of the Communications Act of 1934 is amended by 
     adding at the end thereof the following new section:

     promote the hiring of a workforce that reflects the diversity 
     of its community. Under the terms of its programs, such 
     entity shall--
       ``(1) define the responsibility of each level of management

       ``(b) Treatment of Multiple Transfers.--In the case of a 
     sale of multiple systems, if the terms of the sale require

     approval of a sale or transfer, have 120 days to act upon any 
     request for approval of such sale or transfer that contains 
     or is accompanied by such information as is required in 
     accordance with Commission regulations and by the franchising 
     authority. If the franchising authority fails to render a 
     final decision on the request within 120 days, such request

     entity, arising from the regulation of cable service or from 
     a decision of approval or disapproval with respect to a 
     grant, renewal, transfer, or amendment of a franchise, any 
     relief, to the extent such relief is required by any other 
     provision of Federal, State, or local law, shall be limited 
     to injunctive relief and declaratory relief.

[[Page 1530]]

       ``(b) Exception for Completed Cases.--The limitation 
     contained in subsection (a) shall not apply to actions that, 
     prior to such violation, have been determined by a final 
     order of a court of binding jurisdiction, no longer subject 
     to appeal, to be in violation of a cable operator's rights.
       ``(c) Discrimination Claims Permitted.--Nothing in this 
     section shall be construed as limiting the relief authorized 
     with respect to any claim against a franchising authority or 
     other governmental entity, or any official, member, employee, 
     or agent of such authority or entity, to the extent such 
     claim involves discrimination on the basis of race, color, 
     sex, age, religion, national origin, or handicap.
       ``(d) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall 
     be construed as creating or authorizing liability of any 
     kind, under any law, for any action or failure to act 
     relating to cable service or the granting of a franchise by 
     any franchising authority or other governmental entity, or 
     any official, member, employee, or agent of such authority or 
     entity.''.
       (b) Conforming Amendment.--Section 635(b) of the 
     Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 555(b)) is amended by 
     inserting ``and with the provisions of section 635(a)'' after 
     ``subsection (a)''.

     SEC. 18. CABLE CHANNELS FOR COMMERCIAL USE.

       (a) Rates, Terms, and Conditions.--Section 612(c) of the 
     Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 532(c)) is amended--
       (1) in paragraph (1), by striking ``consistent with the 
     purpose of this section'' and inserting ``consistent with 
     regulations prescribed by the Commission under paragraph 
     (4)''; and
       (2) by adding at the end thereof the following new 
     paragraph:
       ``(4) The Commission shall, not later than 180 days after 
     the date of enactment of the Cable Television Consumer 
     Protection and Competition Act of 1992, by regulation 
     establish--
       ``(A) a formula to determine the maximum rates which a 
     cable operator may establish under paragraph (1) of this 
     subsection;
       ``(B) standards concerning the terms and conditions which 
     may be so established;
       ``(C) standards concerning methods for collection and 
     billing for commercial use of channel capacity made available 
     under this section; and
       ``(D) procedures for the expedited resolution of disputes 
     concerning rates or carriage under this section.''.
       (b) Access for Quality Minority Programming Sources and 
     Qualified Educational Programming Sources.--Section 612 of 
     such Act is further amended by adding at the end thereof the 
     following new subsection:
       ``(i)(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (b) 
     and (c), a cable operator required by this section to 
     designate channel capacity for commercial use may use any 
     such channel capacity for the provision of programming from a 
     qualified minority programming source or from any qualified 
     educational programming source, whether or not such source is 
     affiliated with the cable operator. The channel capacity used 
     to provide programming from a qualified minority programming 
     source or from any qualified educational programming source 
     pursuant to this subsection may not exceed 33 percent of the 
     channel capacity designated pursuant to this section. No 
     programming provided over a cable system on July 1, 1990, may 
     qualify as minority programming or educational programming on 
     that cable system under this subsection.
       ``(2) For purposes of this subsection, the term `qualified 
     minority programming source' means a programming source which 
     devotes significantly all of its programming to coverage of 
     minority viewpoints, or to programming directed at members of 
     minority groups, and which is over 50 percent minority-owned, 
     as the term `minority' is defined in section 309(i)(3)(C)(ii) 
     of this Act.
       ``(3) For purposes of this subsection, the term `qualified 
     educational programming source' means a programming source 
     which devotes significantly all of its programming to 
     educational or instructional programming of such a nature 
     that it promotes public understanding of mathematics, the 
     sciences, the humanities, and the arts and has a documented 
     annual expenditure on programming exceeding $15,000,000. 
     Programming expenditures shall mean all annual costs incurred 
     by the channel originator to produce or acquire programs 
     which are scheduled to appear on air, and shall specifically 
     exclude marketing, promotion, satellite transmission and 
     operational costs, and general administrative costs. Nothing 
     in this subsection shall substitute for the requirements to 
     carry qualified noncommercial educational television stations 
     as specified under section 615.''.

     SEC. 19. CABLE FOREIGN OWNERSHIP RESTRICTIONS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) restrictions on alien or foreign ownership of 
     broadcasting and common carriers first were enacted by 
     Congress in the Radio Act of 1912;
       (2) cable television service currently is available to more 
     than 90 percent of American households, more than 62 percent 
     of American households subscribe to such services, and the 
     majority of viewers rely on cable as the conduit through 
     which they receive terrestrial broadcast signals;
       (3) many Americans receive a significant portion of their 
     daily news, information, and entertainment programming from 
     cable television systems, and such systems should not be 
     controlled by foreign entities; and
       (4) the policy justifications underlying restrictions on 
     alien ownership of broadcast or common carrier licenses have 
     equal application to alien ownership of cable television 
     systems, direct broadcast satellite systems, and multipoint 
     distribution services.
       (b) Amendment to Communications Act.--Section 310(b) of the 
     Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 310(b)) is amended--
       (1) by redesignating paragraphs (1) through (4) as 
     subparagraphs (A) through (D);
       (2) by inserting ``(1)'' after ``(b)''; and
       (3) by adding at the end thereof the following new 
     paragraphs:
       ``(2)(A) No cable system (as such term is defined in 
     section 602) in the United States shall be owned or otherwise 
     controlled by any alien, representative, or corporation 
     described in subparagraph (A), (B), (C), or (D) of paragraph 
     (1) of this subsection.
       ``(B) Subparagraph (A) of this paragraph shall not be 
     applied--
       ``(i) to require any such alien, representative, or 
     corporation to sell or dispose of any ownership interest held 
     or contracted for on or before June 1, 1990, or acquired in 
     accordance with clause (ii); or
       ``(ii) to prohibit any such alien, representative, or 
     corporation that owns, has contracted on or before June 1, 
     1990, to acquire ownership, or otherwise controls, any cable 
     system from acquiring ownership or control of additional 
     cable systems if the total number of households passed by all 
     the cable systems that such alien, representative, or 
     corporation would, as a result of such acquisition, own or 
     control does not exceed 2,000,000.
       ``(3)(A) For purposes of paragraph (1) of this subsection, 
     a license or authorization for any of the following services 
     shall be deemed to be a broadcast station license:
       ``(i) cable auxiliary relay services;
       ``(ii) multipoint distribution services;
       ``(iii) direct broadcast satellite services; and
       ``(iv) other services the licensed facilities of which may 
     be substantially devoted toward providing programming or 
     other information services within the editorial control of 
     the licensee.
       ``(B) Subparagraph (A) of this paragraph shall not be 
     applied to any cable operator to the extent that such 
     operator is eligible for the exemptions contained in 
     subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2).''.

     SEC. 20. THEFT OF CABLE SERVICE.

       Section 633(b) of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 
     533(b)) is amended--
       (1) in paragraph (2)--
       (A) by striking ``$25,000'' and inserting ``$50,000'';
       (B) by striking ``1 year'' and inserting ``2 years'';
       (C) by striking ``$50,000'' and inserting ``$100,000''; and
       (D) by striking ``2 years'' and inserting ``5 years''; and
       (2) by adding at the end thereof the following new 
     paragraph:
       ``(3) For purposes of all penalties and remedies 
     established for violations of subsection (a)(1), the 
     prohibited activity established herein as it applies to each 
     such device shall be deemed a separate violation.''.

     SEC. 21. STUDIES.

       (a) Study of Video Programming Diversity and Competition.--
       (1) Commission study and rulemaking.--The Commission shall 
     conduct a rulemaking proceeding to review and study to 
     determine whether it is necessary or appropriate in the 
     public interest to prohibit or constrain acts and practices 
     that may unreasonably restrict diversity and competition in 
     the market for video programming. In conducting such 
     proceeding, the Commission--
       (A) shall consider the necessity and appropriateness of 
     imposing limitations on the degree to which multichannel 
     video programming distributors may engage in the creation or 
     production of such programming; and
       (B) shall impose limitations on the proportion of the 
     market, at any stage in the distribution of video 
     programming, which may be controlled by any multichannel 
     video programming distributor or other person engaged in such 
     distribution.
       (2) Report.--Within one year after the date of enactment of 
     this Act, the Commission shall submit a report on the review 
     and study required by paragraph (1) to the Committee on 
     Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives and the 
     Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the 
     Senate. Thereafter, the Commission shall continue to monitor 
     (and summarize in the Commission's annual reports) the status 
     of diversity and competition in the marketplace for video 
     programming.
       (3) Proceeding required to review dbs responsibilities.--
     The Federal Communications Commission shall, within 180 days 
     after the date of enactment of this Act, initiate a 
     rulemaking proceeding to impose, with respect to any direct 
     broadcast satellite system that is not regulated as a common 
     carrier under title II of the Communications Act of 1934, 
     public interest or other requirements on direct broadcast 
     satellite systems providing video programming. Any 
     regulations prescribed pursuant to such rulemaking shall, at 
     a minimum, apply the access to broadcast time requirement of 
     section 312(a)(7) of the Communications Act of 1934 and the 
     use of facilities requirements of section 315 of such Act to 
     direct broadcast satellite systems providing video 
     programming. Such proceeding also shall examine the 
     opportunities that the establishment of

[[Page 1531]]

     such systems provide for the principle of localism under such 
     Act, and the methods by which such principle may be served 
     through technological and other developments in, or 
     regulation of, such systems.
       (4) Public service use requirements.--The Federal 
     Communications Commission shall require, as a condition of 
     any initial authorization, or renewal thereof, for a direct 
     broadcast satellite service providing video programming, that 
     the provider of such service reserve not less than 4 percent 
     or more than 7 percent of the channel capacity of such 
     service exclusively for noncommercial public service uses. A 
     provider of direct broadcast satellite service may use any 
     unused channel capacity designated pursuant to this paragraph 
     until the use of such channel capacity is obtained, pursuant 
     to a written agreement, for public service use. The direct 
     broadcast satellite service provider may recover only the 
     direct costs of transmitting public service programming on 
     the channels reserved under this subsection.
       (5) Study panel.--There is established a study panel which 
     shall be comprised of a representative of the Corporation for 
     Public Broadcasting, the National Telecommunications and 
     Information Administration, and the Office of Technology 
     Assessment selected by the head of each such entity. Such 
     study panel shall within 2 years after the date of enactment 
     of this Act, submit a report to the Congress containing 
     recommendations on--
       (A) methods and strategies for promoting the development of 
     programming for transmission over the public use channels 
     reserved pursuant to paragraph (4)(A);
       (B) methods and criteria for selecting programming for such 
     channels that avoids conflicts of interest and the exercise 
     of editorial control by the direct broadcast satellite 
     service provider; and
       (C) identifying existing and potential sources of funding 
     for administrative and production costs for such public use 
     programming.
       (6) Definitions.--As used in this subsection--
       (A) the term ``direct broadcast satellite systems'' 
     includes (i) satellite systems licensed under part 100 of the 
     Federal Communications Commission's rules, and (ii) high 
     power Ku-band fixed service satellite systems providing video 
     service directly to the home and licensed under part 25 of 
     the Federal Communications Commission's rules; and
       (B) the term ``public service uses'' includes--
       (i) programming produced by public telecommunications 
     entities, including programming furnished to such entities by 
     independent production services;
       (ii) programming produced by public or private educational 
     institutions or entities for educational, instructional, or 
     cultural purposes; and
       (iii) programming produced by any entity to serve the 
     disparate needs of specific communities of interest, 
     including linguistically distinct groups, minority and ethnic 
     groups, and other groups.
       (b) Sports Programming Migration Study and Report.--
       (1) Study required.--The Federal Communications Commission 
     shall conduct an ongoing study on the carriage of local, 
     regional, and national sports programming by broadcast 
     stations, cable programming networks, and pay-per-view 
     services. The study shall investigate and analyze, on a 
     sport-by-sport basis, trends in the migration of such 
     programming from carriage by broadcast stations to carriage 
     over cable programming networks and pay-per-view systems, 
     including the economic causes and the economic and social 
     consequences of such trends.
       (2) Report on study.--The Federal Communications Commission 
     shall, on or before July 1, 1993, and July 1, 1994, submit an 
     interim and a final report, respectively, on the results of 
     the study required by paragraph (1) to the Committee on 
     Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives and the 
     Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the 
     Senate. Such reports shall include a statement of the 
     results, on a sport-by-sport basis, of the analysis of the 
     trends required by paragraph (1) and such legislative or 
     regulatory recommendations as the Commission considers 
     appropriate.
       (3) Analysis of preclusive contracts required.--In 
     conducting the study required by paragraph (1), the 
     Commission shall analyze the extent to which preclusive 
     contracts between college athletic conferences and video 
     programming vendors have artificially and unfairly restricted 
     the supply of the sporting events of local colleges for 
     broadcast on local television stations. In conducting such 
     analysis, the Commission shall consult with the Attorney 
     General to determine whether and to what extent such 
     preclusive contracts are prohibited by existing statutes. The 
     report required by paragraph (2) shall include a separate 
     statement of the results of the analysis required by this 
     paragraph, together with such recommendations for legislation 
     as the Commission considers necessary and appropriate. For 
     purposes of the paragraph, the term ``preclusive contract'' 
     includes any contract that prohibits--
       (A) the live broadcast by a local television station of a 
     sporting event of a local college team that is not carried, 
     on a live basis, by any cable system within the local 
     community served by such local television station; or
       (B) the delayed broadcast by a local television station of 
     a sporting event of a local college team that is not carried, 
     on a live or delayed basis, by any cable system within the 
     local community served by such local television station.
       (c) Proceeding With Respect to Areas Receiving Poor Over-
     the-Air Signals.--The Federal Communications Commission shall 
     initiate an inquiry and rulemaking to examine the feasibility 
     of providing access to network and independent broadcasting 
     station signals to persons who subscribe to direct broadcast 
     satellite service and are unable to receive such signals (of 
     grade B quality) over the air from a local licensee or from a 
     cable system. In undertaking such rulemaking, the Commission 
     shall take into consideration pertinent economic and 
     technological factors, including the following:
       (1) the extent to which individuals in rural, underserved 
     areas are unable to receive broadcast television 
     transmission; and
       (2) potential ways in which operators of satellite-
     delivered programming services or the manufacturers or 
     distributors of receiving equipment might enhance the ability 
     of such persons to receive and readily access additional 
     video programming, including without limitation, an 
     electronic switching capability as a minimum feature on 
     satellite television receiving equipment.

     SEC. 22. ANTITRUST IMMUNITY.

       Nothing in the amendments made by this Act shall be 
     construed to create any immunity to any civil or criminal 
     action under any Federal or State antitrust law, or to alter 
     or restrict in any matter the applicability of any Federal or 
     State antitrust law.

     SEC. 23. EFFECTIVE DATE.

       Except where otherwise expressly provided, the provisions 
     of this Act and the amendments made thereby shall take effect 
     60 days after the enactment of this Act.

                                    Washington, DC, July 24, 1992.

                                        Permanent Select Committee


                                              on Intelligence,

                                    Washington, DC, July 24, 1992.
     Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: This is to notify you pursuant to Rule L 
     of the Rules of the House that the Permanent Select Committee 
     on Intelligence has been served with a subpoena issued by the 
     United States District Court for the District of Columbia in 
     connection with a trial that is ongoing in that court.
       After consultation with the General Counsel, I will notify 
     you of my determination as required by the Rule.
           Sincerely,
                                                     Dave McCurdy,
                                                         Chairman.

Para. 89.25  subpoena

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McMILLEN of Maryland, laid before the 
House a communication together with accompanying correspondence, which 
was read as follows:

                                     House of Representatives,

                                    Washington, DC, July 24, 1992.
     Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
     Speaker of the House, Congress of the United States, 
         Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: On July 22, 1992, we received subpoenas 
     issued by the United States Attorney for the District of 
     Columbia. These subpoenas were issued on the day that the 
     task force organized by the Committee House on Administration 
     to investigate the House Post Office released its report 
     finding no merit whatsoever to any allegations that we or 
     anyone else abused the stamp procurement process of the 
     House.
       Pursuant to House Rule 50, we are advising you of our 
     receipt of these subpoenas. We also are advising you that we 
     do not expect to assert any legislative privilege with regard 
     to the subpoenas. However, for the reasons stated in the 
     accompanying letter, we will assert other constitutional 
     privileges to stop this fishing expedition and political 
     witch hunt once and for all.
       It is amazing that the U.S. Attorney is continuing this 
     investigation when the task force report so thoroughly 
     resolves any of the issues within the proper scope of the 
     investigation. Moreover, every report of every former 
     employee of the House Post Office has refuted any notion that 
     we engaged in any conduct that the U.S. Attorney could 
     legitimately investigate. In order to check the U.S. 
     Attorney's exercise of uncontrolled power to waste taxpayer 
     money on an improper and groundless investigation and to 
     preserve our constitutional right to be free from political 
     harassment and persecutorial overreaching, we have written 
     the accompanying letter we now make part of the record in 
     this matter.
           Sincerely,
     Joe Kolter.
     Austin Murphy.
     Dan Rostenkowski.

                                     House of Representatives,

                                     Washington, DC, July 24, 1992
     Re: Grand jury matter 913.
     Jay B. Stephens, Esquire, U.S. Attorney, District of 
       Columbia, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Stephens: On July 22, 1992, each of us was served 
     with subpoenas issued by John Campbell in your office. These 
     subpoenas called for us to appear to testify less than a week 
     later on July 28, 1992.
       The day these subpoenas were served, a report was issued by 
     the Committee on House Administration, pursuant to House 
     Resolution 340 relating to an investigation of the House Post 
     Office. The report was the result of a five-month study which 
     addressed every conceivable issue arising out of the 
     operation and management of the House Post Office, including 
     all the topics in which your office could possibly be 
     interested.
       While containing some disagreements, the report is clear 
     that there is no evidence whatsoever that any of us took part 
     in any way in activities that would violate any federal law 
     or rule. Nothing in the report would warrant further 
     investigation by you or a grand jury.
       According to statements made by representatives of your 
     office, your investigation has been premised solely on 
     newspaper accounts of one person, Jim Smith, a post office 
     employee. It was reported that Mr. Smith alleged that 
     Congressman Rostenkowski or his office had engaged in some 
     transaction in which stamps were somehow exchanged for cash. 
     Subsequently, Mr. Smith was quoted stating that any such 
     allegation was both ``crazy'' and ``wrong.'' Nevertheless, 
     unsourced and unsubstantiated newspaper articles continued 
     repeating the allegations. The task force report, however, 
     includes Mr. Smith's interview in which he once again refutes 
     the truth of that charge.

[[Page 1541]]

       So, it comes as quite a surprise that, notwithstanding the 
     refutation of the only basis for the investigation, we have 
     all been subpenaed to appear before a grand jury. There is no 
     evidence for us to refute; no charge to explain; and no 
     person making a public allegation who needs to be rebutted.
       Some weeks ago, assuming your inquiry was sincere, 
     Congressman Rostenkowski offered to provide your staff with 
     information in order to put this matter to rest. They stated 
     that they wanted this information in the grand jury or not at 
     all. That did not seem like a sincere request to obtain 
     relevant information, but a tactic to create a needless 
     confrontation and media event.
       We can only conclude that the subpenas for us are a product 
     of an overall fishing expedition in an election year. This 
     conclusion is supported by an article in this morning's 
     Washington Times in which someone obviously has leaked to the 
     press the fact that subpenas were issued. This article 
     specifically includes ``law enforcement officials'' as 
     sources.
       The Constitution provides all American citizens--whether 
     Members of Congress or not--with only one recourse by which 
     to resist prosecutorial overreaching. That route, of course, 
     is the right to refuse to testify under the fifth amendment 
     of the Constitution. We, therefore, assert that 
     constitutional right against testifying in this matter. We 
     decline to lend any credence to any inquiry that lacks 
     credibility and should be promptly closed.
           Sincerely,
     Joe Kolter.
     Austin Murphy.
     Dan Rostenkowski.

  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said bill was passed was, by 
unanimous consent, laid on the table.
  Ordered, That the Clerk request the concurrence of the Senate in said 
bill.

Para. 91.10  providing for the consideration of h.r. 5620

  Mr. BONIOR, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 527):

       Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this 
     resolution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule 
     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the State of the Union for consideration of 
     the bill (H.R. 5620) making supplemental appropriations, 
     transfers, and rescissions for the fiscal year ending 
     September 30, 1992, and for other purposes. The first reading 
     of the bill shall be dispensed with. All points of order 
     against the bill and against its consideration are waived. 
     After general debate, which shall be confined to the bill and 
     which shall not exceed one hour equally divided and 
     controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
     Committee on Appropriations, the bill shall be considered as 
     read through page 21, line 11, and shall be considered for 
     amendment under the five-minute rule for a period not to 
     exceed two hours. Within such two-hour period, debate on 
     title III of the bill and any amendments thereto may not 
     exceed thirty minutes. If such two-hour period is exhausted, 
     the disposition of any questions then pending and the reading 
     of the last two lines of the bill shall constitute the 
     conclusion of consideration of the bill for amendment. Unless 
     the Committee has sooner risen on a motion offered as 
     preferential under clause 2(d) of rule XXI, at the conclusion 
     of consideration of the bill for amendment the Committee 
     shall rise and report the bill to the House with such 
     amendments as may have been adopted. The previous question 
     shall be considered as ordered on the bill and amendments 
     thereto to final passage without intervening motion except 
     one motion to recommit.

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  Mr. BONIOR moved the previous question on the resolution to its 
adoption or rejection.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House now order the previous question?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HOYER, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. SOLOMON objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken by 
electronic device.

       Whereas a growing number of State and national reports on 
     the prevalence of hunger in United States communities has 
     heightened the public's awareness of hunger-related issues;
       Whereas the increase in severe poverty in such communities 
     is evidence that more adults and children are vulnerable to 
     hunger-related problems;
       Whereas there is a need for community partnership and 
     involvement in order to assist in Federal and State support 
     for hunger and poverty programs;
       Whereas there is a need for guidelines that will affirm the 
     community's vital role in improving access to food resources 
     for residents who are vulnerable individuals and families; 
     and
       Whereas such guidelines should be in the form of actions 
     that a community could take in order to move toward solving

     therefore, be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate

     food pantries, food banks, and congregate meals facilities;
       (2) assessing food insecurity problems and evaluating 
     existing services in the community to determine necessary 
     strategies for responding to unmet needs;
       (3) establishing a group of individuals, including low-
     income participants, to develop and to implement policies and 
     programs to combat food insecurity, to monitor responsiveness 
     of existing services, and to address underlying causes and 
     factors related to hunger;
       (4) participating in federally assisted nutrition programs 
     that should be easily accessible to targeted populations, 
     such as the Federal programs that provide school breakfast, 
     school lunch, summer food, child care food, and food for 
     homeless and older individuals;
       (5) effective integrating public and private resources, 
     including local businesses, to alleviate food insecurity;
       (6) having an education program about food needs of the 
     community and the need for increased local citizen 
     participation in activities to alleviate food insecurity;
       (7) having available information and referral services for 
     accessing both public and private programs and services;
       (8) having initiatives for alleviating food shopping 
     constraints through the development of creative food 
     resources such as community gardens, buying clubs, food 
     cooperatives, community-owned and operated grocery stores, 
     and farmers' markets;
       (9) carrying out activities to identify and target food 
     services to high-risk populations;
       (10) having adequate transport and distribution of food 
     from all resources;
       (11) coordinating food services with park and recreation 
     programs and other community-based outlets to which residents 
     of the area would have easy access;
       (12) improving public transportation, human service 
     agencies, and food resources;
       (13) having nutrition education programs for low-income 
     citizens to enhance good food-purchasing and food-preparation 
     skills and to heighten awareness of the connection between 
     diet and health; and
       (14) having a program for collecting and distributing 
     nutritious food, either agricultural commodities in farmers' 
     fields or foods that have already been prepared, that would

Para. 92.9  providing for the consideration of h.r. 5679

  Ms. SLAUGHTER, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 529):

       Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this 
     resolution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule 
     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the State of the Union for consideration of 
     the bill (H.R. 5679) making appropriations for the 
     Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban 
     Development, and for sundry independent agencies, boards, 
     commissions, corporations, and offices for the fiscal year 
     ending September 30, 1993, and for other purposes. The first 
     reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. All points of 
     order against consideration of the bill for failure to comply 
     with clause 8 of rule XXI are waived. After general debate, 
     which shall be confined to the bill and which shall not 
     exceed ninety minutes equally divided and controlled by the 
     chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
     Appropriations, the bill shall be considered for amendment 
     under the five-minute rule. All points of order against 
     provisions in the bill for failure to comply with clause 2 or 
     6 of rule XXI are waived except as follows: Beginning on page 
     15, line 18, through page 17, line 11; beginning with 
     ``Provided'' on page 25, line 11, through line 20, beginning 
     on page 43, line 19, through page 44, line 21; beginning with 
     ``Provided'' on page 52, line 9, through line 17; beginning 
     with ``Provided'' on page 55, line 2, through ``programs:'' 
     on line 7; beginning on page 65, line 12, through page 66, 
     line 10; beginning on page 66, line 21, through page 67, line 
     22; beginning with ``Provided'' on page 68, line 21, through 
     line 24; beginning with ``Provided'' on page 77, line 14, 
     through page 78, line 5; beginning on page 78, line 20, 
     through line 24; beginning with ``Provided'' on page 80, line 
     8, through line 18; beginning with ``Provided'' on page 82, 
     line 18, through line 23; and beginning with ``Provided'' on 
     page 85, line 1, through 6. Where points of order are waived 
     against only part of a paragraph, a point of order against 
     matter in the balance of the paragraph may be applied only 
     within the balance of the paragraph and not against the 
     entire paragraph. The amendment printed in part 1 of the 
     report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution 
     may be offered only by the named proponents or a designee, 
     shall be considered as read when offered, shall be debatable 
     for two hours equally divided and controlled by the proponent 
     and an opponent, and shall not be subject to amendment. 
     Debate under the five-minute rule on each other amendment to 
     the bill, including amendments thereto, shall be limited to 
     twenty minutes. Points of order under clause 2 of rule XXI 
     against the amendment printed in part 2 of the report are 
     waived. It shall not be in order to consider an amendment 
     proposing to increase the amount covered by a paragraph 
     already passed in the reading for amendment or proposing to 
     provide an additional amount for an entity covered by a 
     paragraph already passed in the reading for amendment. When 
     the Committee rises and reports the bill to the House with 
     such amendments as may have been adopted, the previous 
     question shall be considered as ordered on the bill and 
     amendments thereto to final passage without intervening 
     motion except one motion to recommit.
  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  Ms. SLAUGHTER moved the previous question on the resolution to its 
adoption or rejection.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House now order the previous question?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. SOLOMON objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken 
by electronic device.

  So the motion to adjourn was not agreed to.

Para. 93.12  privileges of the house

  Mr. THOMAS of California rose to a question of the privileges of the 
House and submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 533):

       Whereas, the House of Representatives acted on April 8, 
     1992 and passed by a vote of 408 a motion to recommit the 
     conference report on the bill S. 3 instructing conferees to 
     include the provisions of the bill HR 4104 and;
       Whereas, the House voted on June 24, 1992, by a margin of 
     4172 to include HR 4104 in the Legislative Branch 
     appropriations for FY 1993 and;
       Whereas the US Court of Appeals has on July 30, 1992 
     declared section 3210(d)(1)(B) of Title 39 of the US Code 
     unconstitutional under the First and Fifth Amendments thereby 
     removing the authority of members of Congress to frank mass 
     mailings to areas outside the district from which the member 
     was elected, and;
       Whereas, members of the House have engaged in activities 
     now declared by the courts as unconstitutional; and
       Whereas such activities impugn the integrity of the 
     proceedings of the House now therefore be it resolved:
       Resolved, That the House of Representatives directs the 
     Committee on House Administration to prohibit payment from 
     any account for the purpose of mass mailings franked outside 
     the district from which the member was elected and further 
     that the provisions of HR 4104 be implemented immediately.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MFUME, ruled that the resolution 
submitted did not present a question of the privileges of the House 
under rule IX, and said:

  ``The Chair will rule. The Chair's understanding is that the 
resolution essentially directs a rules change by immediate 
implementation of an introduced bill which then is not a question of 
privilege. The resolution does not constitute a question of 
privilege.''.

Para. 93.13  commerce, justice, state, and judiciary apppropriations

  Mr. SMITH of Iowa moved that the House resolve itself into the 
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union for the 
consideration of the bill (H.R. 5678) making appropriations for the 
Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, and the Judiciary, and 
related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1993, and for 
other purposes.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to said motion?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MFUME, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. THOMAS of California demanded that the vote be taken by the yeas 
and nays, which demand was supported by one-fifth of the Members 
present, so the yeas and nays were ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device.

It was decided in the

  So the amendment was agreed to.
  After some further time,
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. BONIOR, assumed the Chair.
  When Mr. BROWN, Chairman, reported that the Committee, having had 
under consideration said bill, had directed him to report the same back 
to the House with sundry amendments adopted by the Committee with the 
recommendation that the amendments be agreed to and that the bill, as 
amended, do pass.
  By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered on the 
amendments and said bill.
  Mr. BLILEY demanded a separate vote on the amendment on page 79, lines 
21, 24, and 26, page 80, lines 1 and 2 (the Alexander amendment).
  The following remaining amendments, reported from the Committee of the 
Whole House on the state of the Union were then agreed to:

       On Page 59, after line 11, insert the following:


              military useful vessel obligation guarantees

       For the costs, as defined in section 502 of the Federal 
     Credit Reform Act of 1990, of guaranteed loans authorized by 
     the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, $50,000,000: Provided, That 
     the guaranteed loans made by the Secretary of Transportation, 
     at the request of the Secretary of Defense, are only for 
     types and classes of vessels determined by the Secretary of 
     Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of 
     Transportation, to be capable of serving as a naval and 
     military auxiliary in time of war or national emergency.
       In addition, for administrative expenses to carry out the 
     guaranteed loan program, $2,800,000, which may be transferred 
     to and merged with the Operations and Training appropriations 
     for the Maritime Administration.
       Page 76, line 18, strike ``$741,893,000'' and insert 
     ``$726,693,000''.

       Page 83, after line 11, insert the following new section:
       Sec. 607. The amounts otherwise provided in this Act for 
     the following accounts and activities are hereby reduced by 
     the following amounts:

                DEPARTMENT OF STATE AND RELATED AGENCIES

                   Administration of Foreign Affairs


                         salaries and expenses

       Expenses, $19,000,000. 

       Page 83, after line 11, insert before the short title 
     provision the following new section:
       Sec. 607. It is the sense of the Congress that entities 
     purchasing goods or services with funds available under this 
     Act should, to the maximum extent feasible where available, 
     purchase only American-made equipment, products, and 
     services.

       Page 83, after line 11, insert the following new section:
       Sec. 607. None of the funds made available in this Act may 
     be used for the construction, repair (other than emergency 
     repair), overhaul, conversion, or modernization of vessels 
     for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in 
     shipyards located outside of the United States.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to the following amendment on which a separate 
vote had been demanded:

       Page 79, beginning on line 21, strike ``and the Television 
     Broadcasting to Cuba Act (22 U.S.C. 1465aa at seq.)''.
       Page 79, line 24, strike ``and television''.
       Page 79, line 26, strike ``and television''.
       Page 80, line 1, strike ``$28,531,000'' and insert 
     ``$15,873,000''.
       Page 80, line 2, strike the colon and all that follows 
     through ``equipment'' on line 6. 
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. BONIOR, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. BLILEY demanded a recorded vote on agreeing to said amendment, 
which demand was supported by one-fifth of a quorum, so a recorded vote 
was ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device.

     section 2(b) of the Equity Enhancement Act of 1992) unless 
     the Administration determines on a case by case basis to 
     permit a higher amount for companies under common control and 
     imposes such additional terms and conditions as it determines 
     appropriate to minimize the risk of loss to the 
     Administration in the event of default.'';

       (b) Inflation Adjustment.--Not later than December 15, 
     1993, and in each subsequent calendar year, the Small 
     Business Administration shall apply an inflationary 
     adjustment to each of the dollar amounts specified in section 
     303(b) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958. The 
     adjustment for any calendar year shall be the percentage (if 
     any) by which the Consumer Price Index for the preceding 
     calendar year exceeds the Consumer Price Index for calendar 
     year 1992. For purposes of this adjustment, the term 
     ``Consumer Price Index'' means the Consumer Price Index for 
     all-urban consumers published by the Department of Labor, and 
     for any calendar year it shall be the average of the index as 
     of the close of the 12-month period ending on August 31 of 
     such calendar year.

     SEC. 3. PARTICIPATING SECURITIES.

       Section 303 of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 
     (15 U.S.C. 683) is further amended by adding the following 
     new subsections:
       ``(g) In order to encourage small business investment 
     companies to provide equity capital to small businesses, the 
     Administration is authorized to guarantee the payment of the 
     redemption price and prioritized payments on participating 
     securities issued by such companies which are licensed 
     pursuant to section 301(c) of this Act, and a trust or a pool 
     acting on behalf of the Administration is authorized to 
     purchase such securities. Such guarantees and purchases shall 
     be made on such terms and conditions as the Administration 
     shall establish by regulation. For purposes of this section, 
     (A) the term `participating securities' includes preferred 
     stock, a preferred limited partnership interest or a similar 
     instrument, including debentures under the terms of which 
     interest is payable only to the extent of earnings and (B) 
     the term `prioritized payments' includes dividends on stock, 
     interest on qualifying debentures, or priority returns on 
     preferred limited partnership interests which are paid only 
     to the extent of earnings. Participating securities 
     guaranteed under this subsection shall be subject to the 
     following restrictions and limitations, in addition to such 
     other restrictions and limitations as the Administration may 
     determine:
       ``(1) Participating securities shall be redeemed not later 
     than 15 years after their date of issuance for an amount 
     equal to 100 per centum of the original issue price plus the 
     amount of any accrued prioritized payment: Provided, That if, 
     at the time the securities are redeemed, whether as scheduled 
     or in advance, the issuing company (A) has not paid all 
     accrued prioritized payments in full as provided in paragraph 
     (2) below and (B) has not sold or otherwise disposed of all 
     investments subject to profit distributions pursuant to 
     paragraph (11), the company's obligation to pay accrued and 
     unpaid prioritized payments shall continue and payment shall 
     be made from the realized gain, if any, on the disposition of 
     such investments, but if on disposition there is no realized 
     gain, the obligation shall be extinguished: Provided further, 
     That in the interim, the company shall not make any in-kind 
     distributions of such investments unless it pays to the 
     Administration such sums, up to the amount of the unrealized 
     appreciation on such investments, as may be necessary to pay 
     in full the accrued prioritized payments.
       ``(2) Prioritized payments on participating securities 
     shall be preferred and cumulative and payable out of the 
     retained earnings available for distribution, as defined by 
     the Administration, of the issuing company at a rate 
     determined by the Secretary of the Treasury taking into 
     consideration the current average market yield on outstanding 
     marketable obligations of the United States with remaining 
     periods to maturity comparable to the average maturities on 
     such securities, adjusted to the nearest one-eighth of 1 per 
     centum, plus, at the time the guarantee is issued, such 
     additional charge, if any, toward covering other costs of the 
     program as the Administration may determine to be consistent 
     with its purposes, but not to exceed 2 per centum.
       ``(3) In the event of liquidation of the company, 
     participating securities shall be senior in priority for all 
     purposes to all other equity interests in the issuing 
     company, whenever created.
       ``(4) Any company issuing a participating security under 
     this subsection shall commit to invest or shall invest and 
     maintain an amount equal to the outstanding face value of 
     such security solely in equity capital. As used in this 
     subsection, `equity capital' means common or preferred stock 
     or a similar instrument, including subordinated debt with 
     equity features which is not amortized and which provides for 
     interest payments contingent upon and limited to the extent 
     of earnings.
       ``(5) The only debt which any company issuing a 
     participating security under this subsection may have 
     outstanding shall be temporary debt in amounts limited to not 
     more than 50 per centum of private capital.
       ``(6) The Administration may permit the proceeds of a 
     participating security to be used to pay the principal amount 
     due on outstanding debentures guaranteed by the 
     Administration, if (A) the company has outstanding equity 
     capital invested in an amount equal to the amount of the 
     debentures being refinanced and (B) the Administration 
     receives profit participation on such terms and conditions as 
     it may determine, but not to exceed the per centums specified 
     in paragraph (11).
       ``(7) For purposes of computing profit participation under 
     paragraph (11), except as otherwise determined by the 
     Administration, the management expenses of any company which 
     issues participating securities shall not be greater than 2.5 
     per centum per annum of the combined capital of the company, 
     plus $125,000 if the company's combined capital is less than 
     $20,000,000. For purposes of this paragraph, (A) the term 
     `combined capital' means the aggregate amount of private 
     capital and outstanding leverage and (B) the term `management 
     expenses' includes salaries, office expenses, travel, 
     business development, office and equipment rental, 
     bookkeeping and the development, investigation and monitoring 
     of investments, but does not include the cost of services 
     provided by specialized outside consultants, outside lawyers 
     and outside auditors, who perform services not generally 
     expected of a venture capital company nor does such term 
     include the cost of services provided by any affiliate of the 
     company which are not part of the normal process of making 
     and monitoring venture capital investments.
       ``(8) Notwithstanding paragraph (9), if a company is 
     operating as a limited partnership or as a subchapter s 
     corporation or an equivalent pass-through entity for tax 
     purposes and if there are no accumulated and unpaid 
     prioritized payments, the company may make annual 
     distributions to the partners or shareholders in amounts not 
     greater than each partner's or shareholder's maximum tax 
     liability. For purposes of this paragraph, the term `maximum 
     tax liability' means the amount of income allocated to each 
     partner or shareholder (including an allocation to the 
     Administration as if it were a taxpayer) for Federal income 
     tax purposes in the income tax return filed or to be filed by 
     the company with respect to the fiscal year of the company 
     immediately preceding such distribution, multiplied by the 
     highest combined marginal Federal and State income tax rates 
     for corporations or individuals, whichever is higher, on each 
     type of income included in such return. For purposes of this 
     paragraph, the term `State income tax' means the income tax 
     of the State where the company's principal place of business 
     is located.
       ``(9) After making any distributions as provided in 
     paragraph (8), a company with participating securities 
     outstanding may distribute the balance of income to its 
     investors, specifically including the Administration, in the 
     per centums specified in paragraph (11), if there are no 
     accumulated and unpaid prioritized payments and if all 
     amounts due the Administration pursuant to paragraph (11) 
     have been paid in full, subject to the following conditions:
       ``(A) As of the date of the proposed distribution, if the 
     amount of leverage outstanding is more than 200 per centum of 
     the amount of private capital, any amounts distributed shall 
     be made to private investors and to the Administration in the 
     ratio of leverage to private capital.
       ``(B) As of the date of the proposed distribution, if the 
     amount of leverage outstanding is more than 100 per centum 
     but not more than 200 per centum of the amount of private 
     capital, 50 per centum of any amounts distributed shall be 
     made to the Administration and 50 per centum shall be made to 
     the private investors.
       ``(C) If the amount of leverage outstanding is 100 per 
     centum, or less, of the amount of private capital, the ratio 
     shall be that for distribution of profits as provided in 
     paragraph (11).
       ``(D) Any amounts received by the Administration under 
     subparagraph (A) or (B) shall be applied first as profit 
     participation as provided in paragraph (11) and any remainder 
     shall be applied as a prepayment of the principal amount of 
     the participating securities or debentures.
       ``(10) After making any distributions pursuant to paragraph 
     (8), a company with participating securities outstanding may 
     return capital to its investors, specifically including the 
     Administration, if there are no accumulated and unpaid 
     prioritized payments and if all amounts due the 
     Administration pursuant to paragraph (11) have been paid in 
     full. Any distributions under this paragraph shall be made to 
     private investors and to the Administration in the ratio of 
     private capital to leverage as of the date of the proposed 
     distribution: Provided, That if the amount of leverage 
     outstanding is less than 50 per centum of the amount of 
     private capital or $10,000,000, whichever is less, no 
     distribution shall be required to be made to the 
     Administration unless the Administration determines, on a 
     case by case basis, to require distributions to the 
     Administration to reduce the amount of outstanding leverage 
     to an amount less than $10,000,000.
       ``(11)(A) A company which issues participating securities 
     shall agree to allocate to the Administration a share of its 
     profits determined by the relationship of its private capital 
     to the amount of participating securities guaranteed by the 
     Administration in accordance with the following:
       ``(i) If the total amount of participating securities is 
     100 per centum of private capital, or less, the company shall 
     allocate to the Administration a per centum share computed as 
     follows: the amount of participating securities divided by 
     private capital times 9 per centum.
       ``(ii) If the total amount of participating securities is 
     more than 100 per centum but not greater than 200 per centum 
     of private capital, the company shall allocate to the 
     Administration a per centum share computed as follows:
       ``(I) 9 per centum, plus

[[Page 1615]]

       ``(II) 3 per centum of the amount of participating 
     securities minus private capital divided by private capital.
       ``(B) Notwithstanding any other provision of this 
     paragraph--
       ``(i) in no event shall the total per centum required by 
     this paragraph exceed 12 per centum, unless required pursuant 
     to the provisions of (ii) below,
       ``(ii) if, on the date the participating securities are 
     marketed, the interest rate on Treasury bonds with a maturity 
     of 10 years is a rate other than 8 per centum, the 
     Administration shall adjust the rate specified in paragraph 
     (A) above, either higher or lower, by the same per centum by 
     which the Treasury bond rate is higher or lower than 8 per 
     centum, and
       ``(iii) this paragraph shall not be construed to create any 
     ownership interest of the Administration in the company.
       ``(12) A company may elect to make an in-kind distribution 
     of securities only if such securities are publicly traded and 
     marketable. The company shall deposit the Administration's 
     share of such securities for disposition with a trustee 
     designated by the Administration or, at its option and with 
     the agreement of the company, the Administration may direct 
     the company to retain the Administration's share. If the 
     company retains the Administration's share, it shall sell the 
     Administration's share and promptly remit the proceeds to the 
     Administration. As used in this paragraph, the term `trustee' 
     means a person who is knowledgeable about and proficient in 
     the marketing of thinly traded securities.
       ``(h) The computation of amounts due the Administration 
     under participating securities shall be subject to the 
     following terms and conditions:
       ``(1) The formula in subsection (g)(11) shall be computed 
     annually and the Administration shall receive distributions 
     of its profit participation at the same time as other 
     investors in the company.
       ``(2) The formula shall not be modified due to an increase 
     in the private capital unless the increase is provided for in 
     a proposed business plan submitted to and approved by the 
     Administration.
       ``(3) After distributions have been made, the 
     Administration's share of such distributions shall not be 
     recomputed or reduced.
       ``(4) If the company prepays or repays the participating 
     securities, the Administration shall receive the requisite 
     participation upon the distribution of profits due to any 
     investments held by the company on the date of the repayment 
     or prepayment.
       ``(5) If a company is licensed on or before March 31, 1993, 
     it may elect to exclude from profit participation all 
     investments held on that date and in such case the 
     Administration shall determine the amount of the future 
     expenses attributable to such prior investment: Provided, 
     That if the company issues participating securities to 
     refinance debentures as authorized in subsection (g)(6), it 
     may not elect to exclude profits on existing investments 
     under this paragraph.''.

     SEC. 4. POOLING.

       Section 321 of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 
     (15 U.S.C. 687l) is amended to read as follows:

     ``SEC. 321. ISSUANCE AND GUARANTEE OF TRUST CERTIFICATES.

       ``(a) The Administration is authorized to issue trust 
     certificates representing ownership of all or a fractional 
     part of debentures issued by small business investment 
     companies, including companies operating under the authority 
     of section 301(d), and guaranteed by the Administration under 
     this Act, or participating securities which are issued by 
     such companies and purchased and guaranteed pursuant to 
     section 303(g): Provided, That such trust certificates shall 
     be based on and backed by a trust or pool approved by the 
     Administration and composed solely of guaranteed debentures 
     or guaranteed participating securities.
       ``(b) The Administration is authorized, upon such terms and 
     conditions as are deemed appropriate, to guarantee the timely 
     payment of the principal of and interest on trust 
     certificates issued by the Administration or its agent for 
     purposes of this section. Such guarantee shall be limited to 
     the extent of principal and interest on the guaranteed 
     debentures or the redemption price of and priority payments 
     on the participating securities, which compose the trust or 
     pool. In the event that a debenture in such trust or pool is 
     prepaid, or participating securities are redeemed, either 
     voluntarily or involuntarily, or in the event of default of a 
     debenture or voluntary or involuntary redemption of a 
     participating security, the guarantee of timely payment of 
     principal and interest on the trust certificates shall be 
     reduced in proportion to the amount of principal and interest 
     such prepaid debenture or redeemed participating security and 
     priority payments represent in the trust or pool. Interest on 
     prepaid or defaulted debentures, or priority payments on 
     participating securities, shall accrue and be guaranteed by 
     the Administration only through the date of payment on the 
     guarantee. During the term of the trust certificate, it may 
     be called for redemption due to prepayment or default of all 
     debentures or redemption, whether voluntary or involuntary, 
     of all participating securities residing in the pool.
       ``(c) The full faith and credit of the United States is 
     pledged to the payment of all amounts which may be required 
     to be paid under any guarantee of such trust certificates 
     issued by the Administration or its agent pursuant to this 
     section.
       ``(d) The Administration shall not collect a fee for any 
     guarantee under this section: Provided, That nothing herein 
     shall preclude any agent of the Administration from 
     collecting a fee approved by the Administration for the 
     functions described in subsection (f)(2) of this section.
       ``(e)(1) In the event the Administration pays a claim under 
     a guarantee issued under this section, it shall be subrogated 
     fully to the rights satisfied by such payment.
       ``(2) No State or local law, and no Federal law, shall 
     preclude or limit the exercise by the Administration of its 
     ownership rights in the debentures or participating 
     securities residing in a trust or pool against which trust 
     certificates are issued.
       ``(f)(1) The Administration shall provide for a central 
     registration of all trust certificates sold pursuant to this 
     section. Such central registration shall include with respect 
     to each sale--
       ``(A) identification of each small business investment 
     company;
       ``(B) the interest rate or prioritized payment rate paid by 
     the small business investment company;
       ``(C) commissions, fees, or discounts paid to brokers and 
     dealers in trust certificates;
       ``(D) identification of each purchaser of the trust 
     certificate;
       ``(E) the price paid by the purchaser for the trust 
     certificate;
       ``(F) the interest rate on the trust certificate;
       ``(G) the fee of any agent for carrying out the functions 
     described in paragraph (2); and
       ``(H) such other information as the Administration deems 
     appropriate.
       ``(2) The Administrator shall contract with an agent or 
     agents to carry out on behalf of the Administration the 
     pooling and the central registration functions of this 
     section including, notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, maintenance on behalf of and under the direction of the 
     Administration, such commercial bank accounts as may be 
     necessary to facilitate trusts or pools backed by debentures 
     or participating securities guaranteed under this Act, and 
     the issuance of trust certificates to facilitate such 
     poolings. Such agent or agents shall provide a fidelity bond 
     or insurance in such amounts as the Administration determines 
     to be necessary to fully protect the interests of the 
     Government.
       ``(3) Prior to any sale, the Administrator shall require 
     the seller to disclose to a purchaser of a trust certificate 
     issued pursuant to this section, information on the terms, 
     conditions, and yield of such instrument.
       ``(4) The Administrator is authorized to regulate brokers 
     and dealers in trust certificates sold pursuant to this 
     section.''.

Para. 94.22  point of personal privilege

  Mr. COX of California rose to a question of personal privilege.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore Mr. ANDREWS of Texas, pursuant to clause 1 of 
rule IX, recognized Mr. COX of California for one hour.
  Mr. COX of California made the following statement:
  ``Mr. Speaker, this morning I witnessed a drive-by shooting on ABC 
television on `Good Morning America.' I witnessed it, and indeed I was 
in it.
  ``Yesterday, ABC came by my office to film me for 30 minutes, to talk 
about the Presidential campaign. They were interested because the 
President, President Bush is visiting my district in California today 
and yesterday. They were interested because poll numbers show the 
President faring less well than he has been faring in the past in 
California, specifically and nationally, and they wanted to get the view 
of a Member of Congress from California.
  ``For 30 minutes during this interview with ABC I was unstintingly 
supportive of President Bush, very bullish about his prospects, very 
critical of the Democratic nominee for President, Bill Clinton.
  ``I told the reporters that this Congress was in fact very much 
responsible for the economic gridlock that America is now experiencing, 
that President Bush has sent an economic growth package to this Congress 
and the Congress has not acted upon it, that President Bush has pushed 
for the balanced budget amendment in Congress, but Congress has not 
acted on it, that President Bush has pushed for the line-item veto, and 
just very recently in this Congress we have been having vote after vote 
on the line-item veto, and this Congress is standing in the doorway 
preventing it from happening.
  ``Yes, I said, the economy could be doing better, yes, I said, in 
California there are some people who, no question, are hurting. They 
want change, but what we must change is the Democratic leadership of 
this Congress, where we have not had a Republican Speaker since this 
Member was 2 years old, since 1954. That is what I told the reporters.
  ``This morning I was interested to watch `Good Morning, America.' 
First they began with a very positive piece about Bill Clinton, 
criticizing President Bush on the economy. The reporter then said that 
the President is being criticized by Republican Members asking him to 
focus more on the economy. And as the reporter said that, this Member's 
face was on the screen and my lips were moving, but it was not my 
voice. I never said any such thing. And when they started playing my 
voice, what they left, the only audible part was, `Yes, the economy 
could be doing better and people do want change.' Of course, the rest 
of what I said, that they want change in Congress, this is where the 
gridlock is occurring and this is where the President has been stymied 
on his economic growth package, on the balanced-budget amendment, on 
tax relief, and on the line-item veto, all of that was cut out.
  ``Now, this was not the first time that I have had this experience 
with media bias. Not too long ago, NBC's `Today Show' followed me 
around in California for an entire day.
  ``On that same day, Bill Clinton happened to be in my district. Bill 
Clinton was speaking very near to my office. CNN filmed me standing in 
front of Bill Clinton's appearance, and I was very critical of Bill 
Clinton, very critical of the 128 instances in which he raised taxes in 
Arkansas; very critical of his record.
  ``CNN dutifully reported what I said. And they had me saying just 
that.
  ``NBC, which was following me around the whole day, filmed me talking 
to the CNN reporters with a microphone under my chin and a camera on 
me. But when I appeared on the `Today Show,' those were not the words 
coming out of my mouth, they were words from a different interview at a 
different location, even though it appeared I was doing a stand-up.
  ``And I was talking about the need for change in the Congress, the 
same things: Since 1954, one-party control, Americans do want change, I 
said.
  ``What appeared in the context of a very pro-Clinton piece was 
Congressman Chris Cox saying, `Well, the economy isn't doing well and 
we need change.' And the suggestion was that Bill Clinton is that 
change, and I was somehow supportive of Bill Clinton instead of 
President George Bush.
  ``Nothing could be further from the truth.
  ``So I was prepared yesterday for this 30-minute interview, during 
which time after time after time I spoke not only of my support for the 
President and my optimism about his chances for reelection because much 
is going to change between now and Labor Day and certainly between 
Labor Day and the election, and I even took the trouble to speak not in 
paragraphs and sentences discursively, but in sound bits. And I said, 
`You mark my words,' and ABC has this on tape:

       You mark my words, George Bush is going to be reelected; he 
     is going to be reelected by a healthy margin: we are going to 
     have strong Republican gains in the Congress. Bill Clinton is 
     going to go the way of Jimmy Carter and Hillary Clinton is 
     going to be remembered as the Winnie Mandela of American 
     politics.

  ``Now, that does not sound very critical of George Bush. But what 
ended up on television was this spot, first very positive about Bill 
Clinton and then a piece saying, `Republicans are saying George Bush 
should focus more attention on the economy,' and then Chris Cox saying, 
`The economy could do better, we need change,' followed, I should add, 
by another fellow who came out and said, `George Bush should get off 
the ticket.' Then the ABC reporter says, `The Bush campaign is shirking 
these acts of Republican treason.'
  ``Now, it is not that hard in America these days to find critics of 
the President. A reliable news organization can go gather testimony 
against President Bush and for Bill Clinton. It is not hard to do. They 
do not have to take words like that and put them in my mouth. Yet that 
is exactly what happened.
  ``This is a clear case of distortion. I am delighted to have this 
opportunity to correct the record.
  ``The fact is, my colleagues, democracy only works--democracy only 
works when there is freely available information and when the facts are 
before the American people. If we distort those facts or change them 
180 degrees as happened here, then, no question, democracy is going to 
fail.
  ``This morning, ABC stood for all bias for Clinton. I would like to 
see that corrected. In fact, I have discussed this with executives at 
ABC News. They have issued to me a letter of apology. I have undertaken 
to them to keep that letter confidential. I appreciated that they gave 
it to me. I will share it with the President and with Marlin Fitzwater.
  ``But I want my colleagues to know that I am indeed working very hard 
for the reelection of this President, that I am urging all of my 
colleagues to do the same. And of course I will be abroad throughout 
California making sure those poll numbers that we have seen serve only 
as a wake-up call to those for us who intend to work very hard for the 
President's reelection.
  ``Our economy depends upon it. As I said repeatedly during this 30 
minutes that they got on tape yesterday, the President's economic 
growth plan has been blocked here in Congress. The President's plan for 
tax relief has been blocked here in Congress, the President's plan for 
a balanced-budget amendment has been blocked in Congress, the 
President's plan for a line-item veto, which even Bill Clinton 
supports, has been blocked here in this Congress. This is where the 
gridlock is occurring. This is where the change is required.
  ``I am very much looking forward to working with my future colleagues 
after November so that perhaps we will have a better opportunity to 
bust up the gridlock and move the economy forward and give some relief 
to the beleaguered American people.''

Para. 95.28  philippines peaceful elections

  Mr. LANTOS moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 348): 

       Whereas achieving the first peaceful and constitutional 
     succession of elected presidents is one of the most difficult 
     and important steps in the establishment of democratic 
     government;
       Whereas the Philippines, under the leadership of President 
     Corazon Aquino, has successfully completed this democratic 
     transition, and thereby, secured the final victory of the 
     1986 ``Peoples Power Revolution'';
       Whereas Fidel Ramos was a key participant in the 1986 
     Peoples Power Revolution that ended the Marcos dictatorship, 
     and subsequently played a crucial role in opposing 6 abortive 
     coup attempts that threatened to overthrow the democratically 
     elected government;
       Whereas newly-elected President Fidel Ramos will face the 
     important challenge of continuing the difficult economic and 
     political reforms begun by his predecessor;
       Whereas despite a series of natural disasters (including 
     earthquakes, typhoons, and volcanic eruption), the Philippine 
     economy has turned from annual contraction under the previous 
     regime to a yearly growth rate of 3 to 4 percent;
       Whereas the American people can be proud of the role the 
     United States has played in helping Filipinos succeed in the 
     reestablishment of democracy in their country and in 
     beginning free market economic reforms; and
       Whereas despite the withdrawal of United States Armed 
     Forces from Clark Air Field and Subic Bay Naval Station, the 
     United States and the Philippines continue to be bound 
     together by their Mutual Defense Treaty and to share 
     important security interests in the region: Now, therefore, 
     be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That in light of the continued strong security 
     and economic interests shared by the United States and the 
     Philippines as well as our deep cultural and historic ties, 
     the Congress--
       (1) congratulates Fidel Ramos on his election to the 
     Presidency of the Philippines;
       (2) commends the people of the Philippines for 
     institutionalizing democratic government in their country by 
     supporting peaceful and constitutional elections;
       (3) urges the President of the United States to strongly 
     support continued economic and political reform by the new 
     Philippine Government; and
       (4) believes a new era has begun in United States-
     Philippine Government; and
       (4) believes a new era has begun in United States-
     Philippine relations and recommends that a post-bases 
     relationship be built on the cooperative pursuit of mutually 
     beneficial goals.

Para. 95.31  message from the president--national emergency with respect 
          to iraq

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, laid before the House a message 
from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  I hereby report to the Congress on the developments since my last 
report of February 11, 1992, concerning the national emergency with 
respect to Iraq that was declared in Executive Order No. 12722 of August 
2, 1990. This report is submitted pursuant to section 401(c) of the 
National Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. 1641(c), and section 204(c) of the 
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (``IEEPA''), 50 U.S.C. 
1703(c).
  Executive Order No. 12722 ordered the immediate blocking of all 
property and interests in property of the Government of Iraq (including 
the Central Bank of Iraq) then or thereafter located in the United 
States or within the possession or control of a U.S. person. In that 
order, I also prohibited the importation into the United States of goods 
and services of Iraqi origin, as well as the exportation of goods, 
services, and technology from the United States to Iraq. I prohibited 
travel-related transactions and transportation transactions to or from 
Iraq and the performance of any contract in support of any industrial, 
commercial, or governmental project in Iraq. U.S. persons were also 
prohibited from granting or extending credit or loans to the Government 
of Iraq.
  The foregoing prohibitions (as well as the blocking of Government of 
Iraq property) were continued and augmented on August 9, 1990, by 
Executive Order No. 12724 which I issued in order to align the sanctions 
imposed by the United States with United Nations Security Council 
Resolution 661 of August 6, 1990.
  This report discusses only matters concerning the national emergency 
with respect to Iraq that was declared in Executive Order No. 12722 and 
matters relating to Executive Order No. 12724 (``the Executive 
orders''). The report covers events from February 2, 1992, through 
August 1, 1992.
  1. The economic sanctions imposed on Iraq by the Executive orders are 
administered by the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets 
Control (``FAC'') under the Iraqi Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 575 
(``ISR''). There have been no amendments of those regulations since my 
last report.
  2. Investigations of possible violations of the Iraqi sanctions 
continue to be pursued and appropriate enforcement actions taken. These 
are intended to deter future activities in violation of the sanctions. 
Additional civil penalty notices were prepared during the reporting 
period for violations of the IEEPA and ISR with respect to transactions 
involving Iraq. Penalties were collected, principally from financial 
institutions which engaged in unauthorized, albeit apparently 
inadvertent, transactions with respect to Iraq.
  3. Investigation also continues into the roles played by various 
individuals and firms outside of Iraq in Saddam Hussein's procurement 
network. These investigations may lead to additions to the FAC listing 
of individuals and organizations determined to be Specially Designated 
Nationals (``SDN's'') of the Government of Iraq. In practice, an Iraqi 
SDN is a representative, agent, intermediary, or front (whether open or 
covert) of the Iraqi government that is located outside of Iraq. Iraqi 
SDN's are Saddam Hussein's principal instruments for doing business in 
third countries, and doing business with them is the same as doing 
business directly with the Government of Iraq.
  The impact of being named an Iraqi SDN is considerable: all assets 
within U.S. jurisdiction of parties found to be Iraqi SDN's are blocked; 
all economic transactions with SDN's by U.S. persons are prohibited; and 
the SDN individual or organization is exposed as an agent of the Iraqi 
regime.
  4. Since my last report, one case filed against the Government of Iraq 
has gone to judgment. Centrifugal Casting Machine Co., Inc. v. American 
Bank and Trust Co., Banca Nazionale del Lavoro, Republic of Iraq, 
Machinery Trading Co., Baghdad, Iraq, Central Bank of Iraq, and Bank of 
Rafidain, No. 91-5150 (10th Cir., decided June 11, 1992), arose out of a 
contract for the sale of goods by plaintiff to the State Machinery Co., 
an Iraqi governmental entity. In connection with the contract, the Iraqi 
defendants opened an irrevocable letter of credit in favor of 
Centrifugal, from which Centrifugal drew a 10 percent advance payment. 
Repayment of the advance payment in case of nonperformance by 
Centrifugal was guaranteed by a standby letter of credit. Performance 
did not occur due to the imposition of economic sanctions against Iraq 
in August 1990, and the United States claimed that an amount equal to 
the advance payment was blocked property. The district court ruled that 
the standby letter of credit had expired, that no U.S. party was liable 
to an Iraqi entity under the standby letter of credit, and that the 
advance payment funds were therefore not blocked property and could be 
distributed to U.S. persons. The court of appeals affirmed the ruling of 
the district court that there was no blocked Iraqi property interest in 
the advance payment funds, based on applicable principles of letter of 
credit law.
  5. FAC has issued 288 specific licenses regarding transactions 
pertaining to Iraq or Iraqi assets. Since my last report, 71 specific 
licenses have been issued. Most of these licenses were issued for 
conducting procedural transactions such as filing of legal actions, and 
for legal representation; other licenses were issued pursuant to United 
Nations Security Council Resolutions 661, 666, and 687, to authorize the 
exportation to Iraq of donated medicine, medical supplies, and food 
intended for humanitarian relief purposes. All of these licenses concern 
minor transactions of no economic benefit to the Government of Iraq.
  To ensure compliance with the terms of the licenses which have been 
issued, stringent reporting requirements have been imposed that are 
closely monitored. Licensed accounts are regularly audited by FAC 
compliance personnel and deputized auditors from other regulatory 
agencies. FAC compliance personnel continue to work closely with both 
State and Federal bank regulatory and law enforcement agencies in 
conducting special audits of Iraqi accounts subject to the ISR.
  6. The expenses incurred by the Federal Government in the 6-month 
period from February 2, 1992, through August 1, 1992, that are directly 
attributable to the exercise of powers and authorities conferred by the 
declaration of a national emergency with respect to Iraq are estimated 
at $2,476,000, most of which represents wage and salary costs for 
Federal personnel. Personnel costs were largely centered in the 
Department of the Treasury (particularly in FAC, the U.S. Customs 
Service, the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement, the 
Office of the Assistant Secretary for International Affairs, and the 
Office of the General Counsel), the Department of State (particularly 
the Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs and the Office of the Legal 
Adviser), the Department of Transportation (particularly the U.S. Coast 
Guard), and the Department of Commerce (particularly in the Bureau of 
Export Administration and the Office of the General Counsel).
  7. The United States imposed economic sanctions on Iraq in response 
to Iraq's invasion and illegal occupation of Kuwait, a clear act of 
brutal aggression. The United States, together with the international 
community, is maintaining economic sanctions against Iraq because the 
Iraqi regime has failed to comply fully with United Nations Security 
Council resolutions calling for the elimination of Iraqi weapons of 
mass destruction, the demarcation of the Iraq-Kuwait border, the 
release of Kuwaiti and other prisoners, compensation for victims of 
Iraqi aggression, and the return of Kuwaiti assets stolen during its 
illegal occupation of Kuwait. The U.N. sanctions remain in

[[Page 1626]]

place; the United States will continue to enforce those sanctions.
  The Saddam Hussein regime continues to violate basic human rights by 
repressing the Iraqi civilian population and depriving it of 
humanitarian assistance. The United Nations Security Council passed 
resolutions that permit Iraq to sell $1.6 billion of oil under U.N. 
auspices to fund the provision of food, medicine, and other 
humanitarian supplies to the people of Iraq. Under the U.N. 
resolutions, the equitable distribution within Iraq of this assistance 
would be supervised and monitored by the United Nations and other 
international organizations. The Iraqi regime continues to refuse to 
accept these resolutions, and has thereby chosen to perpetuate the 
suffering of its civilian population.
  The regime of Saddam Hussein continues to pose an unusual and 
extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the 
United States, as well as to regional peace and security. The United 
States will therefore continue to apply economic sanctions to deter 
Iraq from threatening peace and stability in the region, and I will 
continue to report periodically to the Congress on significant 
developments, pursuant to 50 U.S.C. 1703(c).
                                                         George Bush.

     paragraph as evidence of the guarantee.

     paragraph by the Secretary shall be conclusive evidence of 
     the eligibility of the loan for guarantee under the 
     provisions of this section and the amount of such guarantee.

     bearer and the full faith and credit of the United States is 
     pledged to the payment of all amounts agreed to be paid by 
     the Secretary as security for such obligations.

     Government or of any State or the District of Columbia.
       (g) Disqualification of Lenders and Civil Money 
     Penalties.--
       (1) In general.--If the Secretary determines that any 
     lender or holder of a guarantee certificate under subsection 
     (c) has failed to maintain adequate accounting records, to 
     adequately service loans guaranteed under this section, to 
     exercise proper credit or underwriting judgment, or has 
     engaged in practices otherwise detrimental to the interest of 
     a borrower or the United States, the Secretary may--
       (A) refuse, either temporarily or permanently, to guarantee 
     any further loans made by such lender or holder;
       (B) bar such lender or holder from acquiring additional 
     loans guaranteed under this section; and
       (C) require that such lender or holder assume not less than 
     10 percent of any loss on further loans made or held by the 
     lender or holder that are guaranteed under this section.
       (2) Civil money penalties for intentional violations.--If 
     the Secretary determines that any lender or holder of a 
     guarantee certificate under subsection (c) has intentionally 
     failed to maintain adequate accounting records, to adequately 
     service loans guaranteed under this section, or to exercise 
     proper credit or underwriting judgment, the Secretary may 
     impose a civil money penalty on such lender or holder in the 
     manner and amount provided under section 536 of the National 
     Housing Act with respect to mortgagees and lenders under such 
     Act.
       (3) Payment on loans made in good faith.--Notwithstanding 
     paragraphs (1) and (2), the Secretary may not refuse to pay 
     pursuant to a valid guarantee on loans of a lender or holder 
     barred under this subsection if the loans were previously 
     made in good faith.
       (h) Payment Under Guarantee.--
       (1) Lender options.--
       (A) In general.--In the event of default by the borrower on 
     a loan guaranteed under this section, the holder of the 
     guarantee certificate shall provide written notice of the 
     default to the Secretary. Upon providing such notice, the 
     holder of the guarantee certificate shall be entitled to 
     payment under the guarantee (subject to the provisions of 
     this section) and may proceed to obtain payment in one of the 
     following manners:
       (i) Foreclosure.--The holder of the certificate may 
     initiate foreclosure proceedings in a court of competent 
     jurisdiction (after providing written notice of such action 
     to the Secretary) and upon a final order by the court 
     authorizing foreclosure and submission to the Secretary of a 
     claim for payment under the guarantee, the Secretary shall 
     pay to the holder of the certificate the pro rata portion of 
     the amount guaranteed (as determined pursuant to subsection 
     (e)) plus reasonable fees and expenses as approved by the 
     Secretary. The Secretary shall be subrogated to the rights of 
     the holder of the guarantee and the lender holder shall 
     assign the obligation and security to the Secretary.
       (ii) No foreclosure.--Without seeking a judicial 
     foreclosure (or in any case in which a foreclosure proceeding 
     initiated under clause (i) continues for a period in excess 
     of 1 year), the holder of the guarantee may submit to the 
     Secretary a claim for payment under the guarantee and the 
     Secretary shall only pay to such holder for a loss on any 
     single loan an amount equal to 90 percent of the pro rata 
     portion of the amount guaranteed (as determined under 
     subsection (e)). The Secretary shall be subrogated to the 
     rights of the holder of the guarantee and the holder shall 
     assign the obligation and security to the Secretary.
       (B) Requirements.--Before any payment under a guarantee is 
     made under subparagraph (A), the holder of the guarantee 
     shall exhaust all reasonable possibilities of collection. 
     Upon payment, in whole or in part, to the holder, the note or 
     judgment evidencing the debt shall be assigned to the United 
     States and the holder shall have no further claim against the 
     borrower or the United States. The Secretary shall then take 
     such action to collect as the Secretary determines 
     appropriate.
       (2) Assignment by secretary.--Notwithstanding paragraph 
     (1), upon receiving notice of default on a loan guaranteed 
     under this section from the holder of the guarantee, the 
     Secretary may accept assignment of the loan if the Secretary 
     determines that the assignment is in the best interests of 
     the United States. Upon assignment the Secretary shall pay to 
     the holder of the guarantee the pro rata portion of the 
     amount guaranteed (as determined under subsection (e)). The 
     Secretary shall be subrogated to the rights of the holder of 
     the guarantee and the holder shall assign the obligation and 
     security to the Secretary.
       (3) Limitations on liquidation.--In the event of a default 
     by the borrower on a loan guaranteed under this section 
     involving a security interest in tribal allotted or trust 
     land, the Secretary shall only pursue liquidation after 
     offering to transfer the account to an eligible tribal 
     member, the tribe, or the Indian housing authority serving 
     the tribe or tribes. If the Secretary subsequently proceeds 
     to liquidate the account, the Secretary shall not sell, 
     transfer, or otherwise dispose of or alienate the property 
     except to one of the entities described in the preceding 
     sentence.

       (A) any amounts, claims, notes, mortgages, contracts, and 
     property acquired by the Secretary under this section, and 
     any collections and proceeds therefrom;

     and Community Development Act of 1992 and was reduced solely 
     to reflect the amount placed in escrow for initial operating

     availability of insurance authority provided in appropriation 
     Acts, an increase in the existing loan or a separate loan, in 
     an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the maximum amount

     of the energy efficient mortgage pilot program under this 
     section, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall 
     expand the pilot program on a nationwide basis, unless the 
     Secretary determines that such an extension would not be 
     practicable and submit to the Congress, before the expiration 
     of such period, a report explaining why the program should 
     not be expanded.
       (h) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:
       (1) The term ``base loan'' means any mortgage loan for a 
     residential building eligible for insurance under title II of 
     the National Housing Act or title 38, United States Code, 
     that does not include the cost of cost-effective energy 
     improvements.
       (2) The term ``cost-effective'' means, with respect to 
     energy efficiency improvements to a residential building, 
     improvements that result in the total present value cost of 
     the improvements (including any maintenance and repair 
     expenses) being less than the total present value of the 
     energy saved over the useful life of the improvement, when 
     100 percent of the cost of improvements is added to the base 
     loan. For purposes of this paragraph, savings and cost-
     effectiveness shall be determined pursuant to a home energy 
     rating report sufficient for purposes of the Federal National 
     Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage 
     Corporation, or by other technically accurate methods.
       (3) The term ``energy efficient mortgage'' means a mortgage 
     on a residential building that recognizes the energy savings 
     of a home that has cost-effective energy saving construction 
     or improvements (including solar water heaters, solar-
     assisted air conditioners and ventilators, super-insulation, 
     and insulating glass and film) and that has the effect of not 
     disqualifying a borrower who, but for the expenditures on 
     energy saving construction or improvements, would otherwise 
     have qualified for a base loan.
       (4) The term ``residential building'' means any attached or 
     unattached single family residence.
       (i) Rule of Construction.--This section may not be 
     construed to affect any other programs of the Secretary of 
     Housing and Urban Development for energy-efficient mortgages. 
     The pilot program carried out under this section shall not 
     replace or result in the termination of such other programs.
       (j) Regulations.--The Secretary shall issue any regulations 
     necessary to carry out this section not later than the 
     expiration of the 180-day period beginning on the date of the 
     enactment of this Act. The regulations shall be issued after 
     notice and opportunity for public comment pursuant to the 
     provisions of section 553 of title 5, United States Code 
     (notwithstanding subsections (a)(2), (b)(B), and (d)(3) of 
     such section).
       (k) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized 
     to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out 
     this section.

     affect the single family mortgage insurance program under the 
     National Housing Act and the solvency of the Mutual Mortgage 
     Insurance Fund, any effects on homeowners of reliance upon 
     such warranties and plans, the cost of inspections of 
     mortgaged homes not covered by such warranties or plans, and 
     any other issues relating to such warranties and plans that 
     the Secretary considers appropriate. The Secretary shall

      Subtitle C--Improvement of Financing for Multifamily Housing

     SEC. 541. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Multifamily Housing 
     Finance Improvement Act''.

     SEC. 542. REINSURANCE PILOT PROGRAM.

       (a) In General.--The Secretary of Housing and Urban 
     Development shall carry out a pilot program through the 
     Federal Housing Administration to provide reinsurance of 
     risks related to mortgages on multifamily housing.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of the pilot program are--
       (1) to encourage the development of strong primary and 
     secondary markets for prudent multifamily housing mortgage 
     lending sufficient to meet the growing need for such lending 
     in the United States;
       (2) to refine methods through which the Federal Housing 
     Administration may work with the financial institutions to 
     enhance multifamily housing mortgage credit efficiently;
       (3) to improve the supply of prudent multifamily housing 
     mortgage lending, particularly in underserved markets; and
       (4) to develop systems to achieve such purposes while 
     significantly increasing the efficiency of the Federal 
     Housing Administration and significantly reducing exposure of 
     the Federal Government to risk of loss.
       (c) Authority for Reinsurance Agreements.--The Secretary 
     may enter into reinsurance agreements (as such term is 
     defined in section 544) with the Federal National Mortgage 
     Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, 
     qualified financial institutions, qualified housing finance 
     agencies, and the Federal Housing Finance Board. The 
     agreements may provide for risk-sharing and other forms of 
     credit enhancement with respect to mortgage lending on 
     multifamily housing, including reinsurance with respect to 
     pools of loans on multifamily housing properties, that the 
     Secretary determines to be appropriate to carry out the 
     purposes of this section. The agreements shall be in a form 
     and have such terms and conditions as the Secretary 
     determines to be appropriate to carry out the purposes of 
     this section.
       (d) Development of Alternatives.--The Secretary shall 
     develop and assess a variety of reinsurance alternatives, 
     including arrangements under which the Secretary assumes an 
     appropriate share of the risk related to long-term mortgage 
     loans on newly constructed or acquired multifamily rental 
     housing, mortgage refinancings, bridge financing for 
     construction, and other forms of multifamily housing mortgage 
     lending that the Secretary deems appropriate to carry out the 
     purposes of this section. Such alternatives shall be 
     designed--
       (1) to ensure that other parties bear a share of the risk, 
     in percentage amount and in position of exposure, that is 
     sufficient to

[[Page 1667]]

     create strong, market-oriented incentives for other 
     participating parties to maintain sound underwriting and loan 
     management practices;
       (2) to develop credit mechanisms, including sound 
     underwriting criteria, processing methods, and credit 
     enhancements, through which resources of the Federal Housing 
     Administration can assist in increasing multifamily housing 
     lending as needed to meet the expected need in the United 
     States;
       (3) to provide a more adequate supply of mortgage credit 
     for sound multifamily rental housing projects in underserved 
     urban and rural markets;
       (4) to encourage major financial institutions to expand 
     their participation in mortgage lending for sound multifamily 
     housing, through means such as mitigating uncertainties 
     regarding actions of the Federal Government (including the 
     possible failure to renew short-term subsidy contracts);
       (5) to increase the efficiency, and lower the costs to the 
     Federal Government, of processing and servicing multifamily 
     housing mortgage loans insured by the Federal Housing 
     Administration; and
       (6) to improve the quality and expertise of Federal Housing 
     Administration staff and other resources, as required for 
     sound management of reinsurance and other market-oriented 
     forms of credit enhancement.
       (e) Eligibility Standards.--

     elderly person, (ii) a disabled person, (iii) a handicapped 
     person, (iv) a displaced person, (v) the remaining member of 
     a tenant family, and (vi) any other single persons. In no 
     event may any single person under clause (vi) of the first 
     sentence be provided a housing unit assisted under this Act 
     of 2 or more bedrooms. In determining priority for admission 
     to housing under this Act, the Secretary shall give 
     preference to single persons who are elderly, disabled, 
     handicapped, or displaced persons before single persons who 
     are eligible under clause (vi) of the first sentence.
       ``(B) Families.--The term `families', in the cases of 
     elderly families, near-elderly families, disabled families, 
     and handicapped families, means families whose heads (or 
     their spouses), or whose sole members, are elderly, near-
     elderly, disabled, or handicapped persons, respectively. The 
     term includes, in the cases of elderly families, near-elderly 
     families, disabled families, and handicapped families, 2 or 
     more elderly, near-elderly, disabled, or handicapped 
     individuals living together, and 1 or more such individuals 
     living with 1 or more persons determined under the 
     regulations of the Secretary to be essential to their care or 
     well-being.
       ``(C) Absence of children.--The temporary absence of a 
     child from the home due to placement in foster care shall not 
     be considered in determining family composition and family 
     size.
       ``(D) Elderly person.--The term `elderly person' means a 
     person who is at least 62 years of age.
       ``(E) Disabled person.--The term `disabled person' means a

     the Social Security Act or who has a developmental disability 
     as defined in section 102 of the Developmental Disabilities 
     Assistance and Bill of Rights Act.
       ``(F) Handicapped person.--A person shall be considered a 
     handicapped person if the person is determined, pursuant to 
     regulations issued by the Secretary, to have an impairment 
     which is expected to be of long-continued and indefinite 
     duration, substantially impedes such person's ability to live 
     independently, and is of such a nature that such ability 
     could be improved by more suitable housing conditions.
       ``(G) Displaced person.--The term `displaced person' means 
     a person displaced by governmental action, or a person whose 
     dwelling has been extensively damaged or destroyed as a

     of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437e) is amended to read as follows:


                          ``designated housing

       ``Sec. 7. (a) Authority to Provide Designated Housing.--
       ``(1) In general.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, a public housing agency whose allocation plan under 
     subsection (f) (and any annual update) has been approved by 
     the Secretary may, to the extent provided in the allocation 
     plan, provide public housing projects (or portions of 
     projects) designed or designated for occupancy by (A) only 
     elderly families, (B) only disabled families, (C) only 
     handicapped families, or (D) any combination of such 
     families.
       ``(2) Priority for occupancy.--In determining priority for 
     admission to public housing projects (or portions of 
     projects) that are designed or designated for occupancy as 
     provided in paragraph (1), the public housing agency may make 
     units in such projects (or portions) available only to the 
     types of families for whom the project is designated. Among 
     such types of families, preference for occupancy in such 
     projects (or portions) shall be given according to the 
     preferences for occupancy under section 6(c)(4)(A).
       ``(3) Eligibility of near-elderly families.--If a public 
     housing agency determines (in accordance with regulations 
     established by the Secretary) that there are insufficient 
     numbers of elderly families to fill all the units in a 
     project (or portion of a project) designated under paragraph 
     (1) for occupancy by only elderly families, the agency may 
     (pursuant to the approved allocation plan under subsection 
     (f) for the agency) provide that near-elderly families may 
     occupy dwelling units in the project (or portion).
       ``(4) Vacancy.--Notwithstanding the authority under 
     paragraphs (1) and (2) to designate public housing projects 
     (or portions of projects) for occupancy by only certain types 
     of families, a public housing agency shall make any dwelling 
     unit that is ready for occupancy in such a project (or 
     portion of a project) that has been vacant for more than 60 
     consecutive days generally available for occupancy (subject 
     to the requirements of this title) without regard to such 
     designation; except that, during the 2-year period

[[Page 1672]]

     beginning upon the designation of a project (or portion) 
     under paragraph (1), the public housing agency shall be 
     required to make a unit generally available for occupancy 
     under this paragraph only if failure to do so would result in 
     the vacancy rate for the project (or portion) exceeding 10 
     percent for any period of 60 consecutive days.
       ``(b) Availability of Housing.--
       ``(1) Tenant choice.--The decision of any family not to 
     occupy or accept occupancy in an appropriate project or 
     assistance made available to the family under this title 
     shall not adversely affect the family with respect to a 
     public housing agency making available occupancy in other 
     appropriate projects in public housing or assistance under 
     this title.
       ``(2) Discriminatory selection.--Paragraph (1) shall not 
     apply to any family who decides not to occupy or accept an 
     appropriate dwelling unit in public housing or to accept 
     assistance under this Act because of the race, color, 
     religion, sex, familial status, or national origin of 
     occupants of housing or the surrounding area.
       ``(3) Appropriateness of dwelling units.--This section may 
     not be construed to require a public housing agency to offer 
     occupancy in any dwelling unit assisted under this Act to any 
     family who is not of appropriate family size for the dwelling 
     unit.
       ``(c) Prohibition of Evictions.--
       ``(1) In general.--Any tenant who, except for the 
     designation of a project (or portion of a project) under 
     subsection (a)(1), is lawfully residing in a dwelling unit in 
     the project at the time of the effectiveness of the 
     designation, may not be evicted or otherwise required to 
     vacate such unit because of the designation of the project 
     (or portion of a project) or because of any action taken by 
     the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or any public 
     housing agency pursuant to this section.
       ``(2) Exception.--Notwithstanding paragraph (1), a public 
     housing agency may transfer any tenant residing in a dwelling 
     unit in a project (or portion of a project) designated for 
     occupancy as provided in subsection (a)(1) at the request of 
     the tenant.
       ``(d) Accommodation of Housing and Service Needs.--In 
     designing, developing, otherwise acquiring and operating, 
     designating, and providing housing and assistance under this 
     title, each public housing agency shall meet, to the extent 
     practicable, the housing and service needs of eligible 
     families applying for assistance under this title, as 
     provided in any allocation plan of the agency approved under 
     subsection (f). To meet such needs, public housing agencies 
     may, wherever practicable and in accordance with any 
     allocation plan of the agency--
       ``(1) provide housing in which supportive services are 
     provided, facilitated, or coordinated, mixed housing, shared 
     housing, family housing, group homes, congregate housing 
     under subsection (e), and other housing as the public housing 
     agency considers appropriate;
       ``(2) carry out major reconstruction of obsolete public 
     housing projects and reconfiguration of public housing 
     dwelling units; and
       ``(3) provide assistance under section 8.
       ``(e) Congregate Housing.--
       ``(1) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term 
     `congregate housing' means low-rent housing with which there 
     is connected a central dining facility where wholesome and 
     economical meals can be served to occupants.
       ``(2) Operating costs.--Expenditures incurred by a public 
     housing agency in the operation of a central dining facility 
     in connection with congregate housing (other than the cost of 
     providing food and service) shall be considered a cost of 
     operation of the project.
       ``(f) Allocation Plans.--
       ``(1) Requirement.--A public housing agency may not 
     designate a project (or portion of a project) for occupancy 
     under subsection (a)(1) unless the agency submits an 
     allocation plan under this subsection and the plan is 
     approved under paragraph (4) of this subsection.
       ``(2) Contents.--An allocation plan submitted under this 
     subsection by a public housing agency shall--
       ``(A) provide a description of the types of tenants 
     occupying units in public housing administered by the agency;
       ``(B) provide a profile of the estimated pool of applicants 
     for such housing for the ensuing 5-year period (based on the 
     comprehensive housing affordability strategy for the 
     jurisdiction in which the area served by the public housing 
     agency is located);
       ``(C) identify the projects or portions of projects 
     (including the buildings or floors) to be designated for 
     occupancy under subsection (a)(1) for only certain types of 
     families and the types of families who will be eligible for 
     occupancy in such projects (or portions);
       ``(D) document the number of units in the projects (or 
     portions) identified under subparagraph (C) which became 
     vacant and available for occupancy during the preceding year;

     portions) identified under subparagraph (C) that will become 
     vacant and available for occupancy during the ensuing 2-year 
     period;
       ``(F) provide a plan for ensuring that designating projects 
     (or portions of projects) for occupancy under subsection 
     (a)(1), when considered together with affordable housing 
     opportunities for handicapped and disabled families available 
     from the public housing agency, will not result (to the 
     extent practicable) in the public housing agency providing 
     public housing units or assistance for fewer handicapped and 
     disabled families than were assisted by the agency before 
     such designation unless the allocation plan demonstrates that 
     such a reduction is necessary;
       ``(G) describe how the public housing agency will meet the 
     needs of any families who are residing in a project (or 
     portion) designated for occupancy under subsection (a)(1) but

     is designated, including describing any incentives that will 
     be made available to such families to voluntarily move from 
     such projects (or portions);

     disabled families under section 8(i) that the public housing 
     agency will apply for during the ensuing 2 fiscal years;

     acquisition of public housing to be requested by the public 
     housing agency under section 5(j)(3) for the ensuing 2 fiscal

       ``(3) Development.--In preparing the initial allocation 
     plan, or updates of a plan under paragraph (5), for 
     submission under this subsection, a public housing agency 
     shall consult with the State or unit of general local 
     government in whose jurisdiction the area served by the 
     public housing agency is located and shall hold 1 or more 
     public hearings to obtain the views of citizens, public 
     agencies, advocates for the interests of elderly persons, 
     handicapped persons, and disabled persons, and other 
     interested parties.
       ``(4) Approval.--
       ``(A) Criteria.--The Secretary shall approve an allocation 
     plan, or an updated plan, submitted under this subsection if 
     the Secretary determines that--
       ``(i) the information contained in the plan is complete and 
     accurate and, based on the information provided in the plan, 
     the projections are reasonable;
       ``(ii) implementation of the plan will not result in 
     excessive vacancy rates in projects (or portions of projects) 
     identified in paragraph (2)(C); and

     requirements under paragraph (2)(F).
       ``(B) Notification.--The Secretary shall notify each public 
     housing agency submitting an allocation plan under this 
     subsection in writing of approval or disapproval of the plan.

     disapproval, permit amendments to, or resubmission of, the 
     plan. If the Secretary does not notify the public housing 
     agency of approval or disapproval of the initial or revised 
     plan within 45 days after submission of such plan, such plan 
     shall be considered to be approved.
       ``(C) Rule of construction.--The approval of an allocation 
     plan or updated plan under this subsection may not be 
     construed to constitute approval of the request for 
     assistance for major reconstruction of obsolete projects or 
     for assistance for development or acquisition of public 
     housing that are contained in the plan pursuant to 
     subparagraphs (I) and (J) of paragraph (2).

     once every 2 years, as the Secretary shall provide. The

     provisions of such paragraph shall apply to updated plans 
     under this paragraph.''.

     in section 6(c)(4)(A) of the United States Housing Act of 
     1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437d(c)(4)(A)) is amended by striking

Subtitle D--Authority to Provide Preferences for Elderly Residents and 
  Units for Handicapped and Disabled Residents in Federally Assisted 
                                Housing

     SEC. 651. AUTHORITY.

       Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an owner of a 
     covered federally assisted housing project (as such term is 
     defined in section 657) designed primarily for occupancy by 
     elderly families may, in selecting tenants for units in the 
     project that become available for occupancy, give preference 
     to elderly families who have applied for occupancy in the 
     housing, subject to the requirements of this subtitle.

     SEC. 652. RESERVATION OF UNITS FOR HANDICAPPED AND DISABLED 
                   FAMILIES.

       (a) Requirement.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, for any project for which an owner gives preference in 
     occupancy to elderly families pursuant to section 651, such 
     owner shall (subject to sections 653, 654, and 655) reserve 
     units in the project for occupancy only by handicapped or 
     disabled families who are not elderly or near-elderly 
     families (and who have applied for occupancy in the housing) 
     in the number determined under subsection (b).
       (b) Number of Units.--Each owner required to reserve units 
     in a project for occupancy under subsection (a) shall reserve 
     a number of units in the project that is not less than the 
     lesser of--
       (1) the number of units equivalent to the higher of--
       (A) the percentage of units in the project that were 
     occupied by such handicapped and disabled families upon the 
     date of the enactment of this Act; or
       (B) the percentage of units in the project that were 
     occupied by such families upon January 1, 1992; or
       (2) 10 percent of the number of units in the project.

     SEC. 653. SECONDARY PREFERENCES.

       (a) Insufficient Elderly Families.--If an owner of a 
     covered federally assisted housing project in which elderly 
     families are given a preference for occupancy pursuant to 
     section 651 determines (in accordance with regulations 
     established by the Secretary) that there are insufficient 
     numbers of elderly families who have applied for occupancy in 
     the housing to fill all the units in the project not reserved 
     under section 652, the owner may give preference for 
     occupancy of such units to handicapped and disabled families 
     who are near-elderly families and have applied for occupancy 
     in the housing.
       (b) Insufficient Non-Elderly Handicapped and Disabled 
     Families.--If an owner of a covered federally assisted 
     housing project in which elderly families are given a 
     preference for occupancy pursuant to section 651 determines 
     (in accordance with regulations established by the Secretary) 
     that there are insufficient numbers of handicapped or 
     disabled families who are not elderly or near-elderly 
     families and have applied for occupancy in the housing to 
     fill all the units in the project reserved under section 652, 
     the owner may give preference for occupancy of units so 
     reserved to handicapped and disabled families who are near-
     elderly families and have applied for occupancy in the 
     housing.

     SEC. 654. GENERAL AVAILABILITY OF UNITS.

       If an owner of a covered federally assisted housing project 
     in which handicapped and disabled families who are near-
     elderly families are given a preference for occupancy 
     pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of section 653 determines 
     (in accordance with regulations established by the Secretary) 
     that there are an insufficient number of such families to 
     fill all the units in the project for which the preference is 
     applicable, the owner shall make such units generally 
     available for occupancy by families who have applied, and are 
     eligible, for occupancy in the housing, without regard to the 
     preferences established pursuant to this subtitle.

     SEC. 655. PREFERENCE WITHIN GROUPS.

       Among handicapped and disabled families qualifying for 
     occupancy in units reserved under section 652, and among 
     elderly families and near-elderly families qualifying for 
     preference for occupancy pursuant to section 651 or 653, 
     preference for occupancy in units that are assisted under 
     section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 shall be 
     given to handicapped and disabled families according to the 
     preferences for occupancy referred to in section 
     8(d)(1)(A)(i) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 and 
     the first sentence of 8(o)(3)(B) of such Act, to elderly 
     families according to such preferences, and to near-elderly 
     families according to such preferences, respectively.

       Any tenant who, except for reservation of a percentage of 
     the units of a project pursuant to section 652 or any 
     preference for occupancy established pursuant to this 
     subtitle, is lawfully residing in a dwelling unit in a 
     covered federally assisted housing project upon the 
     effectiveness of such reservation or preferences, may not be 
     evicted or otherwise required to vacate such unit because of 
     the reservation or preferences or because of any action taken 
     by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or the 
     owner of the project pursuant to this subtitle.

     of programs;

     various kinds of programs; and
       ``(ee) other relevant factors.

       ``(II) Only programs that have a plan for targeting 
     families that are at imminent risk of a foster care placement 
     shall be evaluated, and a portion (deemed appropriate by the 
     Commission) of the programs evaluated must target families in 
     crisis due to substance abuse.

     established consisting of families at imminent risk of a 
     foster care placement.

     array of preplacement preventive services available to 
     families in the areas in which the programs are located.

     group and the services received by the families in the 
     treatment group shall be described, and an assessment of the 
     need for post-program services for families participating in 
     the programs shall be made.

     least 3 years after participation in the programs to 
     determine the effectiveness of such programs.
       ``(VII) The effectiveness of any program shall be 
     determined by using specific outcome measures deemed 
     appropriate by the Commission, including--

       ``(aa) whether the program resulted in the placement of 
     fewer children in foster care over the short- and long-term;
       ``(bb) whether the program increased the well-being of 
     children and improved family functioning;

       ``(cc) whether the program provided valuable diagnostic 
     information and promoted earlier and more successful

     costs of the program.

       ``(2) Foster care evaluations.--In order to promote more 
     appropriate and effective foster care for children in need of 
     long-term foster care, the Commission shall, directly or 
     under contract with 1 or more independent research 
     organizations, and in accordance with such criteria as the 
     Commission deems appropriate, evaluate the effects of 
     alternative foster care arrangements and services on the 
     well-being of children who--
       ``(A) have little prospect of being reunited with their 
     families, or of being adopted; and

     are in need of specialized services or care.

     child welfare population dynamics.--

     appropriate and effective intervention strategies with

     child welfare data bases that provide detailed longitudinal 
     information on children and their families to whom the local 
     public child welfare system provides services, from the time 
     such children are first referred or reported to such system;

       ``(ii) using data from such data bases, conduct such 
     studies on children and their families served by public child 
     welfare systems, as the Commission deems appropriate, 
     including a study of the extent to which a lack of affordable

     home, and the tools for assessing the risk to the child if 
     not removed from the home, vary from State to State? In 
     considering this question, the Commission should examine--

       ``(I) the decisionmaking process at the caseworker level in 
     at least 3 States, at least 1 of which has a significantly 
     higher than average rate of removing children from the home, 
     at least 1 of which has an approximately average rate of 
     removing children from the home, and at least 1 of which has 
     a significantly lower than average rate of removing children 
     from the home; and
       ``(II) other factors that may affect placement rates such 
     as State laws and policies, interpretations by the State 
     child welfare agency of the reasonable efforts requirement of 
     section 471(a)(15), and the tendency to place or not place 
     children as a result of economic incentives provided by 
     various State and Federal funding sources.

       ``(ii) What guidelines should be used to assess such risk 
     and determine the need for removal of children from the home, 
     and what kind of training would ensure the consistent 
     application of such guidelines? The Commission should review 
     and compile all current research relevant to this 
     question.''.

     procedures, and agency legal representation, in effect in the

     changes in rates at which children are placed in the care of 
     relatives. The Secretary may use such portion of the amounts 
     appropriated to carry out this subsection as the Secretary

amend the Act of May 17, 1954, relating to the Jefferson National 
Expansion Memorial to authorize increased funding for the East Saint 
Louis portion of the Memorial, and for other purposes; together with the 
following amendment of the Senate thereto, was taken from the Speaker's 
table:

       Page 3, strike out lines 1 to 18 and insert:
       ``(b)(1) For the purposes of the East St. Louis portion of 
     the memorial, there are authorized to be appropriated 
     $2,000,000 for land acquisition and, subject to the 
     provisions of paragraphs (2) and (3), such sums as may be 
     necessary for development: Provided, That such authorization 
     shall not include any sums for the acquisition, removal, or 
     relocation of the grain elevator and business located within 
     the East St. Louis unit of the Memorial. Such development 
     shall be consistent with the level of development described 
     in phase one of the draft Development and Management Plan and 
     Environmental Assessment, East St. Louis Addition to 
     Jefferson National Expansion Memorial--Illinois/Missouri, 
     dated August 1987.
       ``(2) Federal funds expended under paragraph (1) for 
     development may not exceed 75 percent of the actual cost of 
     such development. The remaining share of such costs shall be 
     provided from non-Federal funds, services, or materials, or a 
     combination thereof, fairly valued as determined by the 
     Secretary. Any non-Federal expenditures for the acquisition, 
     removal, or relocation of the grain elevator and business 
     shall be included as part of the non-Federal cost share: 
     Provided, That credit shall not be given for any such 
     expenditures which exceed the cost of acquisition, removal, 
     or relocation of the grain elevator and business located 
     within the East St. Louis unit of the Memorial if such action 
     had been accomplished by the Federal Government as determined 
     by the Secretary under existing law: Provided further, That 
     only those non-Federal funds expended at least sixty days 
     after the transmission of the report referred to in paragraph 
     (3) for the removal of such grain elevator shall be credited 
     towards the non-Federal cost share. For the purpose of this 
     paragraph, the Secretary may accept and utilize for such 
     purposes any non-Federal funds, services, and materials so 
     contributed.
       ``(3) With one year after the date of enactment of this 
     paragraph, the Secretary, in direct consultation with the 
     city of East St. Louis, Gateway Arch Park Expansion, and the 
     Southwestern Illinois Development Authority, shall develop 
     and transmit to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources 
     of the United States Senate and the Committee on Interior and 
     Insular Affairs of the United States House of Representatives 
     a study of alternatives to, and costs associated with, the 
     removal of the grain elevator located within the East St. 
     Louis unit of the Memorial. The study shall contain, but need 
     not be limited to, at least one alternative which would 
     incorporate and retain the existing grain elevator into the 
     draft development and management plan and environmental 
     assessment referred to in paragraph (1).''.

Para. 98.13  providing for the consideration of h.r. 4547

  Mr. MOAKLEY, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 545):

       Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this 
     resolution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule 
     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the State of the Union for consideration of 
     the bill (H.R. 4547) to authorize supplemental assistance for 
     the former Soviet republics. The first reading of the bill 
     shall be dispensed with. All points of order against 
     consideration of the bill are waived. General debate shall be 
     confined to the bill and shall not exceed two hours, with 
     thirty minutes equally divided and controlled by the chairman 
     and ranking minority member of the Committee on Foreign 
     Affairs, thirty minutes equally divided and controlled by the 
     chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
     Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs, twenty minutes equally 
     divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority 
     member of the Committee on Agriculture, twenty minutes 
     equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
     minority member of the Committee on Armed Services, and 
     twenty minutes equally divided and controlled by the chairman 
     and ranking minority member of the Committee on Science, 
     Space, and Technology. After general debate the bill shall be 
     considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. In lieu 
     of the committee amendments now printed in the bill, it shall 
     be in order to consider as an original bill for the purpose 
     of amendment under the five-minute rule an amendment in the 
     nature of a substitute consisting of the text of H.R. 5750. 
     The amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be 
     considered as read. All points of order against the amendment 
     in the nature of a substitute are waived. No amendment to the 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute and no other 
     amendment to the bill shall be in order. At the conclusion of 
     consideration of the bill for amendment the Committee shall 
     rise and report the bill to the House with such amendment as 
     may have been adopted. The previous question shall be 
     considered as ordered on the bill and any amendment thereto 
     to final passage without intervening motion except one motion 
     to recommit with or without instructions, which may be 
     offered only by Representative Michel of Illinois or his 
     designee. After passage of H.R. 4547, it shall be in order to 
     take from the Speaker's table the bill S. 2532 and to 
     consider the Senate bill in the House. All points of order 
     against the Senate bill and its consideration are waived. It 
     shall then be in order to move to strike all after the 
     enacting clause of the Senate bill and to insert in lieu 
     thereof the provisions of H.R. 4547 as passed by the House. 
     All points of order against that motion are hereby waived. If 
     the motion is adopted and the Senate bill, as amended, is 
     passed, then it shall be in order to move to insist on the 
     House amendment to S. 2532 and to request a conference with 
     the Senate thereon.

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. MOAKLEY, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection and under the operation thereof, 
the resolution was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said resolution was agreed to 
was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.

     SEC. 101. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) recent developments in Russia and the other independent 
     states of the former Soviet Union present an historic 
     opportunity for a transition to a peaceful and stable 
     international order and the integration of the independent 
     states of the former Soviet Union into the community of 
     democratic nations;
       (2) the entire international community has a vital interest 
     in the success of this transition, and the dimension of the 
     problems now faced in the independent states of the former 
     Soviet Union makes it imperative for donor countries and 
     institutions to provide the expertise and support necessary 
     to ensure continued progress on economic and political 
     reforms;
       (3) the United States is especially well-positioned because 
     of its heritage and traditions to make a substantial 
     contribution to this transition by building on current 
     technical cooperation, medical, and food assistance programs, 
     by assisting in the development of democratic institutions, 
     and by fostering conditions that will encourage the United 
     States business community to engage in trade and investment;
       (4) failure to meet the opportunities presented by these 
     developments could threaten United States national security 
     interests and jeopardize substantial savings in United States 
     defense that these developments have made possible;
       (5) the success of United States assistance depends on--
       (A) effective coordination of United States efforts with 
     similar activities of friendly and allied donor countries and 
     of international financial institutions, and
       (B) reciprocal commitments by the governments of the 
     independent states of the former Soviet Union to work toward 
     the creation of democratic institutions and an environment 
     hospitable to foreign investment based upon the rule of law, 
     including negotiation of bilateral and multilateral 
     agreements on open trade and investment, adoption of 
     commercial codes, establishment of transparency in regulatory 
     and other governmental decision making, and timely payment of 
     obligations carried over from previous governmental entities;
       (6) trade and investment opportunities in the independent 
     states of the former Soviet Union will generate employment 
     and other economic benefits for the United States as the 
     economies of the independent states of the former Soviet 
     Union begin to realize their enormous potential as both 
     customers and suppliers; and
       (7) the unprecedented pace and nature of events in the 
     independent states of the former Soviet Union require that 
     the President be provided with the authority to furnish 
     United States assistance and resources flexibly and 
     expeditiously if the United States is to be able to support 
     the transformation of the independent states of the former 
     Soviet Union to democratic civil societies with market-
     oriented economies.

     economic system, the United States shall take a leading 
     role--
       (1) in facilitating the independent states joining or 
     participating in international economic organizations; and
       (2) in organizing multilateral efforts aimed at currency 
     stabilization, currency convertibility, and (where necessary 
     and appropriate) debt reduction, conditioned on the 
     development and implementation of comprehensive economic 
     reform programs.
       (c) International and Regional Security.--In order to 
     promote the economic and political reform of the independent 
     states of the former Soviet Union and their integration into 
     the community of democratic nations, it is the policy of the 
     United States to facilitate international and regional 
     security and stability among the independent states--

     national and ethnic disputes--
       (A) by urging the withdrawal of former Soviet military 
     forces from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania;

     instability, and social distress and disorder of any kind;
       (C) by urging persistent, good faith peacemaking efforts on 
     the part of all affected independent states in order promptly 
     to resolve all such disputes; and
       (D) by taking into account, in determining the amounts of 
     United States assistance to be provided to governmental 
     entities in the independent states, the level of good faith 
     peacemaking efforts put forward by such governmental entities 
     in attempting to resolve ethnic conflicts within the 
     independent state and beyond its borders wherever ethnic 
     groups with ties to populations or subpopulations within its 
     borders are affected;
       (2) through the promotion of the return of former Soviet 
     military forces from Cuba as well as from other countries 
     where their presence has a destabilizing affect on 
     international security; and
       (3) through the promotion of nonproliferation and 
     disarmament activities.
       (d) Ending Assistance to Cuba.--It is the sense of the 
     Congress that the policy of the United States should make 
     assistance to any of the independent states of the former 
     Soviet Union conditional on the termination of military and 
     technical assistance, subsidies, and other forms of 
     assistance to Cuba from such states.

     SEC. 402. PROBLEMS OF NATIONS MAKING THE TRANSITIONS TO MORE 
                   OPEN POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC SYSTEMS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) in many areas of the world, nations may be experiencing 
     substantial difficulties in making the transitions to more 
     open political and economic systems;
       (2) as an example, the study, entitled ``The Economy of the 
     U.S.S.R.'', which was prepared jointly by the International 
     Monetary Fund, the International Bank for Reconstruction and 
     Development, the Organization for European Cooperation and 
     Development, and the European Bank for Reconstruction and 
     Development, found that substantial changes need to be made 
     in the economies of the independent states of the former 
     Soviet Union to provide a viable basis for monetary 
     stability, economic growth, and development, and such finding 
     applies to other nations making the transitions to more open 
     political and economic systems; and
       (3) these nations may be experiencing special difficulties 
     in making such transitions.
       (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) encouragement should be given to the efforts being made 
     to address the political and economic problems of nations 
     making the transitions to more open political and economic 
     systems;
       (2) consideration should be given to developing 
     relationships between such nations and the International 
     Monetary Fund, the International Bank for Reconstruction and 
     Development, and the other international financial 
     institutions, as part of the process of assisting such 
     nations in making such transitions;
       (3) continued United States support for the utilization of 
     the resources of such institutions should take into 
     consideration the continuation of the efforts of such nations 
     to move toward more open economic and political systems; and
       (4) encouragement should be given to the efforts of such 
     nations to promote free enterprise, private property rights, 
     a stable legal system, a stable monetary system, and an open 
     trading system, as steps in making such transitions.

     SEC. 403. REPORT ON DEBT OF THE FORMER SOVIET UNION HELD BY 
                   COMMERCIAL BANKS.

       The Secretary of the Treasury, using resources of the 
     International Monetary Fund, the International Bank for 
     Reconstruction and Development, and other appropriate 
     international financial institutions, shall gather 
     information upon, and report not later than December 31, 
     1992, to the Congress on, the debt incurred by the former 
     Soviet Union held by commercial banks outside the independent 
     states of the former Soviet Union that are obligated on such 
     debt, and the prospects for the repayment of such debt.

     SEC. 404. SUPPORT FOR MACROECONOMIC STABILIZATION IN THE 
                   INDEPENDENT STATES OF THE FORMER SOVIET UNION.

       (a) In General.--In order to promote macroeconomic 
     stabilization and the integration of the independent states 
     of the former Soviet Union into the international financial 
     system, the United States should in appropriate circumstances 
     take a leading role in organizing and supporting multilateral 
     efforts aimed at macroeconomic stabilization and debt 
     rescheduling, conditioned on the appropriate development and 
     implementation of comprehensive economic reform programs.
       (b) Currency Stabilization.--In furtherance of the purposes 
     and consistent with the conditions described in subsection 
     (a), the Congress expresses its support for United States 
     participation, in sums of up to $3,000,000,000, in a currency 
     stabilization fund or funds for the independent states of the 
     former Soviet Union.
       (c) Study of the Need for and Feasibility of a Currency 
     Stabilization Fund for Ukraine.--
       (1) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (A) Ukraine is a nation of 52,000,000 people with a 
     longstanding history of seeking its sovereignty and national 
     identity, which has recently attained the status of an 
     independent country;
       (B) Ukraine's economy has the potential for development 
     into an important regional economy that can benefit all 
     nations in the region;
       (C) Ukraine has recently announced that it intends to 
     introduce its own currency as a means of continuing its drive 
     toward economic development;
       (D) assisting Ukraine with the introduction of its own 
     currency is in the best interests of the United States, since 
     such assistance will increase goodwill between Ukraine and 
     the United States;
       (E) assisting Ukraine with the introduction of its own 
     currency and with the development of its economy is also in 
     the best interests of other nations, since Ukraine's economy 
     can act as an engine of economic growth for nations in its 
     region;
       (F) establishing a currency stabilization fund for Ukraine 
     may be as necessary for the development of Ukraine's economy 
     as the establishment of a similar fund for Poland has been 
     for the development of Poland's economy; and
       (G) the International Monetary Fund recently provided 
     valuable assistance regarding currency stabilization measures 
     to nations that have undertaken a transition from a centrally 
     planned economy to a market economy.
       (2) Study of the need for and feasibility of a currency 
     stabilization fund for ukraine.--The Secretary of the 
     Treasury shall instruct the United States Executive Director 
     of the International Monetary Fund to use the voice and vote 
     of the United States to urge the Fund to conduct a study of 
     the need for and feasibility of a currency stabilization fund 
     for Ukraine, and, if it is found that such a fund is needed 
     and is feasible, which considers and makes recommendations 
     with respect to the economic and policy conditions required 
     for the success of such a fund.

     SEC. 405. ROLE OF THE INTERNATIONAL FINANCE CORPORATION IN 
                   SUPPORTING ECONOMIC RESTRUCTURING IN THE 
                   INDEPENDENT STATES OF THE FORMER SOVIET UNION.

       (a) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that the International Finance Corporation can play an 
     important role in supporting the economic restructuring in 
     the independent states of the former Soviet Union necessary 
     to move toward market economies. The United States could play 
     a critical role in enabling the International Finance 
     Corporation to leverage the contributions of donors and 
     increase its access to international capital markets, thereby 
     promoting the success of democracy and open markets in the 
     independent states. Accordingly, it is the sense of the 
     Congress that the President should seek to ensure that the 
     International Finance Corporation provides ambitious lending 
     and investment programs for the independent states.
       (b) Authorization.--The International Finance Corporation 
     Act (22 U.S.C. 282-282k) is amended by adding at the end the 
     following:

     ``SEC. 15. AUTHORITY TO VOTE FOR CAPITAL INCREASES NECESSARY 
                   TO SUPPORT ECONOMIC RESTRUCTURING IN THE 
                   INDEPENDENT STATES OF THE FORMER SOVIET UNION.

       ``(a) Authorization.--The United States Governor of the 
     Corporation may vote in favor of any increase in the capital 
     stock of the Corporation that may be needed to accommodate 
     the requirements of the independent states of the former 
     Soviet Union.
       ``(b) Independent States Defined.--As used in this section, 
     the term `independent states of the former Soviet Union' 
     means the following (which formerly were part of the Soviet 
     Union): Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, 
     Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, 
     Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.''.
       (c) Authority to Agree to Certain Amendments to the 
     Articles of Agreement of the International Finance 
     Corporation.--The International Finance Corporation Act (22 
     U.S.C. 282-282k) is amended by adding after the section added 
     by subsection (b) of this section the following:

                   ARTICLES OF AGREEMENT.

       ``The United States Governor of the Corporation may agree 
     to amendments to the Articles of Agreement of the Corporation 
     that would--
       ``(1) amend section 2(c)(ii) of Article II to increase the 
     vote by which the Board of Directors may increase the capital 
     stock of the Corporation from a three-fourths majority to a 
     four-fifths majority; and
       ``(2) amend Article VII(a) to increase the vote by which 
     the Board of Governors may amend the Articles of Agreement 
     from a four-fifths majority to an 85 percent majority.''.

     SEC. 406. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE INDEPENDENT STATES OF 
                   THE FORMER SOVIET UNION.

       The Bretton Woods Agreements Act (22 U.S.C. 286 and 
     following) is amended by adding after the sections added by 
     section 401 of this Act the following:

     ``SEC. 59. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE BY THE BANK FOR THE 
                   INDEPENDENT STATES OF THE FORMER SOVIET UNION.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) at the Houston Economic Summit in July 1990, the 
     heads of State and Govern-

[[Page 1745]]

     ment of the 7 major industrial democracies and the President 
     of the Commission of the European Communities requested that 
     the Fund, the Bank, the Organization for Economic Cooperation 
     and Development, and the designated president of the European 
     Bank for Reconstruction and Development, in close 
     consultation with the Commission of the European Communities, 
     undertake a detailed study of the Soviet economy, make 
     recommendations for its reform, and establish the criteria 
     under which Western economic assistance could effectively 
     support such reforms;
       ``(2) in the resulting report, the organizations concluded 
     that timely technical assistance can play a major role in 
     easing the transition to a market economy, and that such 
     technical assistance could be particularly helpful in the 
     fields of fiscal and monetary policies, foreign exchange and 
     banking, and the development of statistical and accounting 
     systems;
       ``(3) technical assistance provided by the Bank should be 
     coordinated with the technical assistance provided by the 
     private sectors of Western countries so that technical 
     assistance provided by the Bank complements and enhances 
     technical assistance provided by the private sector and other 
     international donors;
       ``(4) the provision of timely technical assistance can 
     greatly facilitate trade with and direct investment in the 
     independent states of the former Soviet Union; and
       ``(5) the provision of timely technical assistance by the 
     Bank to the independent states of the former Soviet Union can 
     support democratic reforms, respect for human rights, and the 
     rule of law.
       ``(b) Technical Assistance Programs by the Bank to the 
     Independent States of the Former Soviet Union.--The Secretary 
     of the Treasury shall instruct the United States Executive 
     Director of the Bank to use the voice and vote of the United 
     States to urge--
       ``(1) the Bank to establish or continue, as appropriate, 
     programs to provide technical assistance to the independent 
     states of the former Soviet Union in support of democratic 
     reforms, human rights, the rule of law, and market-oriented 
     reforms; and
       ``(2) the Bank to endeavor to coordinate its technical 
     assistance to the independent states of the former Soviet 
     Union so that technical assistance provided by the Bank 
     complements and enhances technical assistance provided by the

     SEC. 503. SOVIET WEAPONS DESTRUCTION.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds--
       (1) that programs established under the Soviet Nuclear 
     Threat Reduction Act of 1991 (title II of Public Law 102-228) 
     will contribute significantly to the destruction of weapons 
     of mass destruction of the independent states of the former 
     Soviet Union and the reduction of the threat from such 
     weapons and the potential for their proliferation;
       (2) that it is in the national security interests of the 
     United States to continue to reduce the threats from the huge 
     weapons arsenals of the former Soviet Union and to protect 
     against the potential proliferation of these weapons and the 
     materials removed from them, as well as the potential hazards 
     resulting from the faulty storage of those weapons or 
     materials; and
       (3) that the threats to nuclear safety and security 
     described in section 211 of the Soviet Nuclear Threat 
     Reduction Act of 1991 (title II of Public Law 102-228; 105 
     Stat. 1693) remain of urgent concern and that additional 
     resources are necessary to meet these threats, particularly 
     in areas such as safe and secure storage of fissile material, 
     dismantlement of missiles and launchers, and the destruction 
     of chemical weapons.
       (b) Additional Funding.--(1) Section 221(a) of the Soviet 
     Nuclear Threat Reduction Act of 1991 (title II of Public Law 
     102-228; 105 Stat. 1695) is amended by striking out 
     ``$400,000,000'' and inserting in lieu thereof 
     ``$650,000,000''.
       (2) Section 221(e) of such Act is amended--
       (A) by inserting ``for fiscal year 1992 or fiscal year 
     1993'' after ``under part B'';
       (B) by inserting ``for that fiscal year'' after ``for that 
     program''; and
       (C) by striking out ``for fiscal year 1992'' and inserting 
     in lieu thereof ``for that fiscal year''.
       (c) Technical Revisions to Public Law 102-229.--Public Law 
     102-229 is amended--
       (1) in section 108 (105 Stat. 1708), by striking out 
     ``contained in H.R. 3807, as passed the Senate on November 
     25, 1991'' and inserting in lieu thereof ``(title II of 
     Public Law 102-228)''; and
       (2) in section 109 (105 Stat. 1708)--
       (A) by striking out ``H.R. 3807, as passed the Senate on 
     November 25, 1991'' and inserting in lieu thereof ``Public 
     Law 102-228 (105 Stat. 1696)''; and
       (B) by striking out ``of H.R. 3807''.
       (d) Avoidance of Duplicative Authorizations.--This section 
     shall not apply if the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 1993 enacts an amendment to section 221(a) of the 
     Soviet Nuclear Threat Reduction Act of 1991 that authorizes 
     the transfer of the same (or a greater) amount that is 
     authorized by the amendment made by subsection (b)(1) of this 
     section and enacts amendments identical to those in

     with the Director of the National Institute of Standards and 
     Technology.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of the Foundation shall be the 
     following:
       (1) To provide productive research and development 
     opportunities within the independent states of the former 
     Soviet Union that offer scientists and engineers alternatives 
     to emigration and help prevent the dissolution of the 
     technological infrastructure of the independent states.
       (2) To advance defense conversion by funding civilian 
     collaborative research and development projects between 
     scientists and engineers in the United States and in the 
     independent states of the former Soviet Union.
       (3) To assist the establishment of a market economy in the 
     independent states of the former Soviet Union by promoting, 
     identifying, and partially funding joint research, 
     development, and demonstration ventures between United States 
     businesses and scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs in 
     those independent states.
       (4) To provide a mechanism for scientists, engineers, and 
     entrepreneurs in the independent states of the former Soviet 
     Union to develop an understanding of commercial business 
     practices by establishing linkages to United States 
     scientists, engineers, and businesses.
       (5) To provide access for United States businesses to 
     sophisticated new technologies, talented researchers, and 
     potential new markets within the independent states of the 
     former Soviet Union.
       (c) Functions.--In carrying out its purposes, the 
     Foundation shall--
       (1) promote and support joint research and development 
     projects for peaceful purposes between scientists and 
     engineers in the United States and independent states of the 
     former Soviet Union on subjects of mutual interest; and
       (2) seek to establish joint nondefense industrial research, 
     development, and demonstration activities through private 
     sector linkages which may involve participation by scientists 
     and engineers in the university or academic sectors, and 
     which shall include some contribution from industrial 
     participants.
       (d) Funding.--
       (1) Use of certain department of defense funds.--(A) To the 
     extent funds appropriated to carry out subtitle D of title II 
     of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     1993 (relating to joint research and development programs 
     with the independent states of the former Soviet Union) are 
     otherwise available for such purpose, such funds may be made 
     available to the Director for use by the Director in 
     establishing the endowment of the Foundation and otherwise 
     carrying out this section.
       (B) For each fiscal year after fiscal year 1993, not more 
     than 50 percent of the funds made available to the Foundation 
     by the

[[Page 1747]]

     United States Government or otherwise used in carrying out 
     this section may be funds appropriated in the national 
     defense budget function (function 050).
       (2) Contribution to endowment by participating independent 
     states.--As a condition of participation in the Foundation, 
     an independent state of the former Soviet Union must make a 
     minimum contribution to the endowment of the Foundation, as 
     determined by the Director, which shall reflect the ability 
     of the independent state to make a financial contribution and 
     its expected level of participation in the Foundation's 
     programs.
       (3) Debt conversions.--To the extent provided in advance by 
     appropriations Acts, local currencies or other assets 
     resulting from government-to-government debt conversions may 
     be made available to the Foundation. For purposes of this 
     paragraph, the term ``debt conversion'' means an agreement 
     whereby a country's government-to-government or commercial 
     external debt burden is exchanged by the holder for local 
     currencies, policy commitments, other assets, or other 
     economic activities, or for an equity interest in an 
     enterprise theretofore owned by the debtor government.
       (4) Local currencies.--In addition to other uses provided 
     by law, and subject to agreement with the foreign government, 
     local currencies generated by United States assistance 
     programs may be made available to the Foundation.
       (5) Investment of government assistance.--The Foundation 
     may invest any revenue provided to it through United States 
     Government assistance, and any interest earned on such 
     investment may be used only for the purpose for which the 
     assistance was provided.
       (6) Other funds from government and nongovermental 
     sources.--The Foundation may accept such other funds as may 
     be provided to it by Government agencies or nongovernmental 
     entities.
                 TITLE VI--SPACE TRADE AND COOPERATION

     SEC. 601. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) the dissolution of the political system of the former 
     Soviet Union provides a unique, historic opportunity for the 
     United States to achieve world peace and stability while 
     incorporating the significant potential of the former Soviet 
     Union to contribute to mankind's quality of life through 
     science and technology;
       (2) the desired conversion of former Soviet military and 
     quasi-military assets, industries, and research facilities is 
     furthered by openness in scientific collaboration, economic 
     trade, and redeployment of capital resources;
       (3) space trade and cooperation offer both the United 
     States and the independent states of the former Soviet Union 
     significant nonmilitary industrial growth opportunities and 
     may assist the transition to a market-based economy in the 
     independent states;
       (4) space trade and cooperation would assist with the 
     demilitarization of the independent states of the former 
     Soviet Union and inhibit proliferation of military assets and 
     technologies; and
       (5) space trade and cooperation will enable the United 
     States aerospace industry to utilize new technologies 
     acquired from the independent states of the former Soviet 
     Union in creating American products.

     SEC. 602. FACILITATING DISCUSSIONS REGARDING THE ACQUISITION 
                   OF SPACE HARDWARE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SERVICES 
                   FROM THE FORMER SOVIET UNION.

     approval described in subsection (c) that is submitted to any 
     United 
     States Government agency by the National Aeronautics and 
     Space Administration or any of its contractors shall be 
     considered on an expedited basis by that agency and any other 
     agency involved in an applicable interagency review process.
       (b) Notice to Congress if License Denied.--If any United 
     States Government agency denies a request for a license or 
     other approval described in subsection (c), that agency shall 
     immediately notify the designated congressional committees. 
     Each such notification shall include a statement of the 
     reasons for the denial.
       (c) Description of Discussions.--This section applies to a 
     request for any license or other approval that may be 
     necessary to conduct discussions with an independent state of 
     the former Soviet Union with respect to the possible 
     acquisition of any space hardware, space technology, or space 
     service for integration into United States space projects 
     that have been approved by the Congress, including 
     discussions relating to technical evaluation of such

Para. 98.25  trade agreements

  Mr. ROSTENKOWSKI, pursuant to House Resolution 542, called up the 
following concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 246):

       Whereas a General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 
     (hereinafter in this resolution referred to as the ``GATT'') 
     dispute resolution panel decreed on August 16, 1991, that 
     certain provisions of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 
     1972 designed to protect dolphins are a barrier to trade and 
     must be eliminated;
       Whereas the GATT panel ruling additionally declared that 
     nations may not have laws that protect health, safety, or the 
     environment beyond that nation's geographic borders, or laws 
     that take into account the process or conditions under which 
     a product is produced or harvested;
       Whereas the GATT panel may also jeopardize other United 
     States laws and international agreements intended to protect 
     global resources, including provisions that protect the 
     stratospheric ozone layer, provisions to save endangered 
     species, provisions to discourage driftnet fishing, and 
     provisions for the protection of whales; and
       Whereas ongoing negotiations for the Uruguay Round of the 
     GATT, reflected in the December 1990 draft agreement and the 
     United States-Mexico Free Trade Agreement, could weaken 
     United States health, safety, labor, and environmental laws, 
     including laws adopted by State and local authorities: Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring)

     SECTION 1. PRESIDENT.

       The Congress calls upon the President to initiate and 
     complete negotiations, as part of the current Uruguay Round 
     GATT talk, to make the GATT compatible with the Marine Mammal 
     Protection Act and other United States health, safety, labor, 
     and environmental laws, including those laws that are 
     designed to protect the environment outside the geographic 
     borders of the United States.

     SEC. 2. LEGISLATION.

       The Congress will not approve legislation to implement any 
     trade agreement (including the Uruguay Round of the GATT and 
     the United States-Mexico Free Trade Agreement) if such 
     agreement jeopardizes United States health, safety, labor, or 
     environmental laws (including the Federal Food, Drug, and 
     Cosmetic Act and the Clean Air Act).

  When said concurrent resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  Pursuant to House Resolution 542, the previous question was considered 
as ordered.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to said concurrent resolution?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. TORRES, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. WAXMAN objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken by 
electronic device.

  When said bill was considered and read twice.
  Mr. HALL of Texas submitted the following amendment in the nature of a 
substitute, in lieu of the amendment recommended by the Committee on 
Science, Space, and Technology, which was agreed to:

       Strike all after the enacting clause and insert in lieu 
     thereof the following:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Commercial Space 
     Competitiveness Act of 1992''.
                      TITLE I--GENERAL PROVISIONS

     SEC. 101. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) commercial activities of the private sector have 
     substantially contributed to the strength of both the United 
     States space program and the national economy;
       (2) a robust United States space transportation capability 
     remains a vital cornerstone of the United States space 
     program;
       (3) the availability of commercial launch services is 
     essential for the continued growth of the United States 
     commercial space sector;
       (4) a timely extension of the excess third party claims 
     payment provisions of the Commercial Space Launch Act is 
     appropriate and necessary to enable the private sector to 
     continue covering maximum probable liability risks while 
     protecting the private sector from uninsurable levels of 
     liability which could hinder international competitiveness;
       (5) greater Federal use of commercial launch services for 
     suborbital launches would increase the efficiency of the 
     United States space science program and improve the 
     capabilities of the United States commercial launch industry;
       (6) a program to demonstrate how the space science 
     community can purchase launch services directly from the 
     private sector has the potential to increase the efficiency 
     of the United States space science program and improve the 
     capabilities of the United States commercial launch industry;
       (7) improvements and additions to the Nation's space 
     transportation infrastructure contribute to a robust and cost 
     effective space transportation capability for both public 
     sector and private sector users;
       (8) private sector use of available Government facilities 
     on a reimbursable basis contributes to a stronger commercial 
     space sector;

[[Page 1753]]

       (9) the Federal Government should purchase space goods and 
     services which are commercially available, or could be made 
     available commercially in response to a Government 
     procurement request, whenever such goods or services meet 
     Government mission requirements in a cost effective manner;
       (10) it is appropriate for the Government to act as an 
     anchor tenant for commercial space development projects which 
     have a reasonable potential to develop non-Federal markets 
     and which meet Federal needs in a cost effective manner; and
       (11) the provision of compensation to commercial providers 
     of space goods and services for termination of contracts at 
     the convenience of the Government assists in enabling the 
     private sector to invest in space activities which are 
     initially dependent on Government purchases.

     SEC. 102. DEFINITIONS.

       For the purposes of this Act--
       (1) the term ``Administrator'' means the Administrator of 
     the National Aeronautics and Space Administration;
       (2) the term ``agency'' means an executive agency as 
     defined by section 105 of title 5, United States Code;
       (3) the term ``anchor tenancy'' means an arrangement in 
     which the United States Government agrees to procure 
     sufficient quantities of a commercial space product or 
     service needed to meet Government mission requirements so 
     that a commercial venture is made viable;
       (4) the term ``commercial'' means having--

    TITLE VI--FAIR TRADE FOR THE COMMERCIAL SHIPBUILDING AND REPAIR 
                                INDUSTRY

     SEC. 601. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Shipbuilding Trade Reform 
     Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 602. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) in 1981, the United States Government terminated 
     funding for the construction differential subsidy program, 
     thereby ending direct subsidization of commercial 
     shipbuilding in the United States;
       (2) the international market for shipbuilding and ship 
     repair continues to be distorted by a wide array of foreign 
     subsidies including direct grants, preferential financing, 
     equity infusions, research and development assistance, 
     restructuring aid, special tax concessions, debt forgiveness, 
     and other direct and indirect assistance;
       (3) existing United States trade laws and trade agreements 
     provide limited redress to domestic producers of ships for 
     the trade-distorting subsidies and dumping practices of 
     foreign shipbuilders; and
       (4) a strong, effective multilateral agreement among all 
     shipbuilding nations to eliminate trade-distorting practices 
     in the shipbuilding and repair industry is the best means of 
     providing for fair international competition, however, absent 
     such an agreement, changes in United States trade laws are 
     necessary to provide domestic producers of ships greater 
     protection against unfair trade practices than is provided 
     under current law.
       (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this title to ensure 
     fair trade in the commercial shipbuilding and repair industry 
     by providing for effective trade remedies against subsidized 
     and dumped foreign commercial ships.

     SEC. 603. SUBSIDIZED SHIPYARD LIST AND REQUIRED VESSEL ENTRY 
                   DOCUMENTATION REGARDING CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR 
                   SUBSIDIES.

       (a) Part II of title IV of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 
     U.S.C. 1431 et seq.) is amended by inserting after section 
     435 the following new sections:

     ``SEC. 435A. LISTING OF SUBSIDIZED SHIPYARDS.

       ``(a) Establishment of List.--The administering authority 
     shall establish and maintain a list of all foreign shipyards 
     that receive or benefit from, directly or indirectly, a 
     subsidy for the construction or repair of vessels.
       ``(b) Investigation.--The administering authority shall 
     conduct an investigation to decide whether there is 
     reasonable cause to believe that a foreign shipyard receives 
     or benefits from a subsidy for the construction or repair of 
     vessels. That investigation shall be initiated when the 
     administering authority has reasonable cause to believe that 
     a shipyard receives or benefits from, directly or indirectly, 
     a subsidy for the construction or repair of vessels--
       ``(1) on the basis of information available to the 
     administering authority; or
       ``(2) on petition for an investigation from an interested 
     party.
       ``(c) Determination After Investigation.--
       ``(1) In general.--Based on the investigation conducted 
     under subsection (b), the administering authority shall make 
     a determination as to whether a shipyard receives or benefits 
     from, directly or indirectly, a subsidy for the construction 
     or repair of vessels.
       ``(2) Notification and publication of listing.--If the 
     administering authority determines that a foreign shipyard 
     receives or benefits from, directly or indirectly, a subsidy 
     for the construction or repair of vessels, the administering 
     authority shall--
       ``(A) add the foreign shipyard to the list established 
     under subsection (a);
       ``(B) notify that shipyard of its inclusion on that list; 
     and
       ``(C) publish notice of that determination in the Federal 
     Register.

[[Page 1761]]

       ``(3) Time limit on making determination.--The 
     administering authority shall make a determination under this 
     subsection within 90 days of receipt of the information or 
     petition that serves as the basis for initiating an 
     investigation under subsection (b).
       ``(4) Publication of list.--The administering authority 
     shall publish the list of foreign shipyards receiving or 
     benefiting from a subsidy for the construction or repair of 
     vessels at least once every 6 months.
       ``(d) Emergency Listing.--
       ``(1) In general.--If at any time the administering 
     authority finds a reasonable basis to suspect that a foreign 
     shipyard may be receiving or benefiting from a subsidy for 
     the construction or repair of vessels, the administering 
     authority may add that shipyard to the list established under 
     subsection (a). The administering authority shall publish 
     notice of that emergency listing in the Federal Register, 
     which shall also include a schedule for investigation of the 
     alleged subsidy.
       ``(2) Investigation and determination of emergency 
     listings.--Within 90 days after publication of a listing 
     under paragraph (1), the administering authority shall 
     conclude the investigation and make a determination under 
     subsection (c) whether the shipyard is receiving or 
     benefiting from a subsidy for the construction or repair of 
     vessels.
       ``(e) Review of Listings.--If a foreign shipyard that is 
     listed under subsection (c) requests a review of that 
     determination within 30 days after the date of the 
     publication of the determination in the Federal Register 
     under subsection (c)(2), the administering authority shall 
     review that listing.
       ``(f) Subsequent Reconsideration and Removal of Listings.--
       ``(1) Reconsideration.--The administering authority may 
     reconsider a listing under subsection (c)--
       ``(A) on application from a foreign shipyard added to the 
     list under subsection (c) alleging changed circumstances 
     sufficient to warrant a reconsideration of that listing and 
     notice of that reconsideration is published in the Federal 
     Register; or
       ``(B) if the administering authority receives information 
     concerning the signing of an agreement between the United 
     States Government and the foreign country in which the 
     shipyard is located that provides for the immediate 
     elimination by that country of construction and repair 
     subsidies for vessels.
       ``(2) Restriction on reconsideration.--A foreign shipyard 
     may not make more than one application for reconsideration 
     under this paragraph in any calendar year.
       ``(3) Burden of persuasion.--In any reconsideration under 
     paragraph (1)(A), the burden of persuasion with respect to 
     whether there are changed circumstances sufficient to warrant 
     a determination that the foreign shipyard should be removed 
     from the list is on the applicant.
       ``(4) Removal from list.--The administering authority may 
     remove a foreign shipyard from the listing only if--
       ``(A) the foreign shipyard has proven that the foreign 
     shipyard does not receive or benefit from a subsidy, directly 
     or indirectly, for the construction or repair of vessels; or
       ``(B) there is a signed agreement between the United States 
     Government and the foreign country in which the shipyard is 
     located that provides for the immediate elimination of 
     construction and repair subsidies for vessels.
       ``(g) Penalty for False Information and Renewal of 
     Subsidies.--The administering authority shall place a foreign 
     shipyard on the list established under subsection (a) for a 
     period of not less than 5 years if the administering 
     authority determines--
       ``(1) that the foreign shipyard, or government of the 
     country in which the shipyard is located, provided the 
     administering authority with false or misleading information 
     during the investigation conducted under subsection (b); or
       ``(2) after making a determination under subsections (c) or 
     (f) that the shipyard is not subsidized, that the shipyard 
     receives or benefits from, directly or indirectly, any new 
     construction subsidies.
       ``(h) Action Against the United States Government.--An 
     interested party may bring a civil action against the United 
     States Government, in an appropriate district court of the 
     United States, for failure of the administering authority to 
     use due diligence to add a subsidized foreign shipyard to the 
     list established under subsection (a).

     ``SEC. 435B. CONSTRUCTION SUBSIDY CERTIFICATION REQUIRED OF 
                   VESSELS FOR ENTRY.

       ``(a) Certification Required at Entry.--The master of a 
     vessel shall, at the time of making formal entry of the 
     vessel under section 434 or 435, deposit with the appropriate 
     customs officer a construction subsidy certification for the 
     vessel.
       ``(b) Construction Subsidy Certifications.--
       ``(1) In general.--For purposes of this section, a 
     construction subsidy certification for a vessel is a document 
     that--
       ``(A) is either--
       ``(i) issued by the administering authority under 
     subsection (d), or
       ``(ii) in a form as the administering authority shall 
     prescribe and signed by either the vessel owner or person 
     that constructed the vessel; and
       ``(B) attests, regarding any construction carried out with 
     respect to the vessel, that the construction meets one of the 
     requirements set forth in paragraph (2).
       ``(2) Certification requirements.--The requirements 
     referred to in paragraph (1)(B) are as follows:
       ``(A) No construction subsidy was granted or otherwise 
     provided with respect to the construction.
       ``(B) The construction was carried out with the benefit of 
     one or more subsidies, all of which were granted or otherwise 
     provided before the date of the enactment of this section.
       ``(C) The construction was carried out pursuant to a 
     specific contract entered into before October 16, 1991.
       ``(D) The construction was carried out with the benefit of 
     one or more subsidies that were granted or otherwise provided 
     during the 2-year period beginning on the date of the 
     enactment of this section, but an amount equal to the value 
     of each construction subsidy has been repaid to the agency 
     that granted or otherwise provided the construction subsidy.
       ``(E) The construction was carried out with the benefit of 
     one or more subsidies that were granted or provided on or 
     after the date of the enactment of this section, but an 
     amount equal to the value of each construction subsidy, 
     reduced by any amount repaid under paragraph (D), has been 
     paid by the Treasury of the United States.
       ``(F) The construction was carried out in a foreign country 
     which is signatory to a trade agreement with the United 
     States that provides for the immediate elimination of 
     construction subsidies for vessels.
       ``(G) The construction was carried out in a shipyard that, 
     at the time of contracting for construction of the vessel, 
     was not on the list established under section 435A(a).
       ``(3) Application of certification requirements.--With 
     respect to vessels constructed in a foreign country which is 
     a signatory to a trade agreement with the United States that 
     provides for the elimination of construction subsidies for 
     vessels, the requirements set forth in paragraph (2) shall be 
     applied in a manner consistent with that agreement.
       ``(c) Enforcement.--If the Secretary has reason to believe 
     that an unlawful act under section 436 relating to this 
     section has been committed, the Secretary shall--
       ``(1) undertake any investigation necessary to ascertain 
     whether action authorized under section 436 against the 
     master of the vessel, or the vessel, or both, is warranted; 
     and
       ``(2) if the vessel is not covered by a construction 
     subsidy certification issued under subsection (d) and the 
     information obtained during that investigation indicates that 
     there is reason to believe that the vessel does not meet any 
     certification requirement under subsection (b), so inform the 
     administering authority and provide that information to the 
     authority.
       ``(d) Issuance of Construction Subsidy Certifications by 
     the Administering Authority.--

     the builder of a vessel, may apply to the administering 
     authority for the issuance of a construction subsidy 
     certification for that vessel. An application shall be 
     accompanied by any documentation that the administering 
     authority may require for purposes of establishing the 
     eligibility of the vessel for that certification, including, 
     if compliance with the requirement in subsection (b)(2)(D) or 
     (E) is alleged, information regarding the amount of each 
     construction subsidy granted or provided with respect to the 
     vessel and the payment or repayment of amounts equal to the 
     value of the construction subsidy.
       ``(2) Action on applications.--After considering the 
     documentation submitted with an application under paragraph 
     (1), the administering authority, within 90 days after the 
     day on which the application was received, shall decide 
     whether to issue or deny the construction subsidy 
     certification. The administering authority shall make the 
     decision publicly available.
       ``(3) Denial or condition of issuance of certification.--
     The administering authority shall, if a construction subsidy 
     certification for a vessel is denied under paragraph (2), 
     provide the applicant with a written statement of the reasons 
     for the denial or condition. The applicant may, within 14 
     days after the date of the written statement, request a 
     review of the denial or condition under subsection (e)(3).
       ``(e) Determinations and Reviews.--
       ``(1) Preliminary investigation.--The administering 
     authority shall--
       ``(A) on the basis of information available to the 
     administering authority;
       ``(B) on the basis of information provided by the Secretary 
     under subsection (c)(2); or
       ``(C) upon petition therefor from an interested party; 
     initiate a preliminary investigation to decide whether there 
     is reasonable cause to believe that a vessel does not meet 
     the construction subsidy certification requirements under 
     subsection (c).
       ``(2) Determinations after preliminary investigations.--If 
     the administering authority makes an affirmative decision 
     under paragraph (1) with respect to a vessel, the 
     administering authority shall determine whether the vessel 
     meets any construction subsidy certification requirement 
     under subsection (b)(2). If the administering authority makes 
     a negative determination on the basis of failure to meet the 
     requirement under subparagraph (D) or (E) of subsection 
     (b)(2), the administering authority shall calculate, and set 
     forth in the determination, the aggregate value of the 
     subsidy or subsidies used in the construction of the vessel.

       ``(3) Review of certification denials and conditions.--If a 
     person whose application for a construction subsidy 
     certification was denied or conditioned under subsection 
     (d)(3) makes a timely request for review under this 
     paragraph, the administering authority shall review the 
     denial or condition.
       ``(4) Corrective actions.--If the administering authority 
     makes a negative determination under paragraph (2), or 
     upholds any certification denial or condition after review 
     under paragraph (3), the administering authority shall set 
     forth in the determination or review decision the action 
     which must be taken in order to satisfy a requirement for 
     construction subsidy certification for the vessel under 
     subsection (b). The builder of the vessel shall be primarily 
     responsible, and the vessel owner or operator secondarily 
     responsible, for taking any corrective action. If that action 
     is taken, the administering authority shall issue a 
     construction subsidy certification for the vessel and that 
     certification shall be treated as a construction subsidy 
     certification issued under subsection (d).
       ``(5) Consequential effects.--After a negative 
     determination under paragraph (2), or a decision under 
     paragraph (3) upholding a certification denial or condition, 
     becomes final and until a construction subsidy certification 
     for the vessel concerned is issued under paragraph (4), 
     neither that vessel, nor any other vessel that is owned or 
     leased by the owner of that vessel, may--

                  TITLE VIII--CLEAN VESSEL ACT OF 1992

     SEC. 801. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Clean Vessel Act of 
     1992''.

     SEC. 802. FINDINGS; PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) The discharge of untreated sewage by vessels is 
     prohibited under Federal law in all areas within the 
     navigable waters of the United States.
       (2) The discharge of treated sewage by vessels is 
     prohibited under either Federal or State law in many of the 
     United States bodies of water where recreational boaters 
     operate.
       (3) There is currently an inadequate number of pumpout 
     stations for marine sanitation devices where recreational 
     vessels normally operate.
       (4) Sewage discharged by recreational vessels because of an 
     inadequate number of pumpout stations is a substantial 
     contributor to the degradation of water quality in the United 
     States.
       (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to provide funds 
     to coastal States for the construction, renovation, 
     operation, and maintenance of pumpout stations and waste 
     reception facilities.

     SEC. 803. DETERMINATION AND PLAN REGARDING STATE MARINE 
                   SANITATION DEVICE PUMPOUT STATION NEEDS.

       (a) Survey.--Within 3 months after the notification under 
     section 805(b), each coastal State shall conduct a survey to 
     determine--
       (1) the number and location of all operational pumpout 
     stations and waste reception facilities in the State, at 
     public and private marinas, mooring areas, docks, and other 
     boating access facilities; and
       (2) the number of recreational vessels in the coastal 
     waters of the State with type III marine sanitation devices 
     or portable toilets, and the areas of those coastal waters 
     where those vessels congregate.
       (b) Plan.--Within 6 months after the notification under 
     section 805(b), and based on the survey conducted under 
     subsection (a), each coastal State shall--
       (1) develop and submit to the Administrator of the 
     Environmental Protection Agency a plan for any construction 
     or renovation of pumpout stations and waste reception 
     facilities in the State that is necessary to ensure that, 
     based on the guidance issued under section 805(a), there are 
     pumpout stations and waste reception facilities in the State 
     that are adequate and reasonably available to meet 
     recreational vessel needs in the State; and
       (2) submit to the Administrator with that plan a list of 
     all such stations and facilities in the State which are 
     operational on the date of submittal.
       (c) Plan Approval.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than 60 days after a plan is 
     submitted by a State under subsection (b), the Administrator

     Research Program Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 902. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) The world's oceans occupy 317,000,000 cubic miles, and 
     constitute 71 percent of the surface of the Earth.
       (2) The Great Lakes comprise 20 percent of the world's 
     freshwater and are a valuable, international, commercial, and 
     recreational resource.
       (3) The oceans and Great Lakes are inextricably linked to 
     many important global processes, such as global temperature, 
     weather patterns, and nutrient cycling.
       (4) The oceans and Great Lakes hold many undiscovered or 
     unexploited mineral and biological resources.
       (5) A majority of invertebrate phyla and over half the 
     vertebrate species inhabit the oceans.
       (6) The genetic diversity of marine organisms makes the 
     oceans a potentially important source of undiscovered medical 
     agents.
       (7) Understanding of the physical, chemical, geological, 
     and biological processes which govern dynamics in the oceans 
     and Great Lakes, particularly the deep ocean, is limited.
       (8) Oceanic and limnological researchers require 
     increasingly more advanced technologies and methodologies to 
     accomplish complex research goals.
       (9) Advanced underwater technology, including diving, 
     underwater laboratories, research submersibles, and remotely 
     operated vehicles, must be an integral part of the Nation's 
     efforts to study, understand, utilize, conserve, and wisely 
     manage the aquatic environment.

Para. 99.25  somalia crisis

  Mr. PAYNE of New Jersey moved to suspend the rules and agree to the 
following concurrent resolution of the Senate (S. Con. Res. 132): 

       Whereas as a result of the civilian conflict in Somalia, at 
     least thirty thousand people have died, hundreds of innocent 
     civilians, many of them children, continue to die each day, 
     and an additional one million two hundred thousand lives are 
     at risk;
       Whereas the Somali political factions show no signs of 
     ceasing their internecine war for power even as thousands of 
     their own people perish;
       Whereas international relief agencies have been unable to 
     deliver adequate humanitarian assistance to those most in 
     need due to increasingly difficult and dangerous conditions, 
     including pervasive banditry and looting;
       Whereas the United Nations Security Council, on July 27, 
     1992, adopted a resolution on the situation in Somalia, 
     including an expansion of United Nations relief efforts and 
     support for the deployment of United Nations security 
     personnel to facilitate the delivery of relief supplies, and 
     the President has expressed strong support for the United 
     Nations proposals; and
       Whereas although the Congress has expressed strong support 
     for more active efforts to deliver humanitarian relief to the 
     suffering people of Somalia, the situation has continued to 
     deteriorate: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives 
     concurring), That the Congress--
       (1) condemns in the strongest possible terms the senseless 
     killing and wanton destruction wrought by the political 
     factions in Somalia;
       (2) strongly urges these factions to abide by the United 
     Nations ceasefire and to allow the deployment of security 
     forces to protect humanitarian relief deliveries and workers;
       (3) commends the dedicated and energetic efforts of United 
     Nations Secretary-General Boutros Boutros Ghali, and his 
     Special Envoy to Somalia, Ambassador Mohammed Sahnoun;
       (4) pays tribute to the courageous and heroic actions of 
     the relief agencies working in Somalia;
       (5) calls upon the international community, through the 
     United Nations, and in particular the United Nations 
     specialized agencies, to immediately expand its relief 
     efforts in Somalia;
       (6) recognizes with appreciation the July 27, 1992, 
     statement of the President urging the United Nations to 
     deploy a sufficient number of security guards to permit 
     relief supplies to move into and within Somalia, and 
     committing funds for such an effort; and
       (7) urges the President to work with the United Nations 
     Security Council to deploy these security guards immediately, 
     with or without the consent of the Somalia factions, in order 
     to assure that humanitarian relief gets to those most in 
     need, particularly the women, children and elderly of 
     Somalia.

Para. 99.26  apartheid in south africa

  Mr. PAYNE of New Jersey moved to suspend the rules and agree to the 
following resolution (H. Res. 497); as amended: 

       Whereas more than 11,000 people have died in South Africa 
     as a result of political violence since 1984, and more than 
     one-half of these have died since the release of Nelson 
     Mandela from prison in 1990;
       Whereas the negotiations by the Convention for a Democratic 
     South Africa (CODESA) on the formation of a transitional 
     government that will lead to a new constitution and a 
     nonracial, democratic government could be undermined by the 
     continuing violence;
       Whereas the terror perpetuated by the ongoing political 
     violence jeopardizes the willingness of South Africans to 
     participate in the transition process and compromises the 
     climate for free political participation by all South 
     Africans; and
       Whereas credible evidence has been presented to the 
     Goldstone Commission on Inquiry into Public Violence and 
     Intimidation, South African human rights organizations, 
     Amnesty International, and others that members of South 
     African security force units have trained, armed, and funded 
     paramilitary groups involved in committing and instigating 
     violence, and perhaps continue to do so: Now, therefore, be 
     it
       Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
       (1) notes with dismay the killing in South Africa and 
     condemns this senseless violence;
       (2) urges the Government of South Africa to take effective 
     steps to end the violence and protect all South African 
     citizens regardless of race, color, or creed;
       (3) stresses the responsibility of all parties to end the 
     violence in South Africa;
       (4) urges all parties to return to negotiations within the 
     Convention for Democratic South Africa (CODESA) as soon as 
     possible; and
       (5) urges the President to submit a report to the House of 
     Representatives on--
       (A) the nature of the violence in South Africa and the role 
     that the various participants are playing in the ongoing 
     violence; and
       (B) the impact of this violence on South Africa's 
     transition to democracy.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, recognized Mr. PAYNE of New 
Jersey and Mr. BROOMFIELD, each for 20 minutes.
  After debate,
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House suspend the rules and agree to said resolution, as 
amended?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, announced that two-thirds of the 
Members present had voted in the affirmative.
  So, two-thirds of the Members present having voted in favor thereof,

said resolution, as amended, was agreed to was, by unanimous consent,

Para. 99.27  international hunger alleviation

  Mr. PAYNE of New Jersey moved to suspend the rules and agree to the 
following concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 179): 

       Expressing the sense of the Congress with regard to 
     supporting increased donations of commodities for 
     international hunger alleviation purposes through purchases 
     of agricultural commodities from the United States and 
     developing countries financed by the Government of Japan.
       Whereas 750,000,000 people worldwide, more than three times 
     the population of the United States, suffer from moderate to 
     severe malnutrition and do not consume enough calories to 
     perform sustained manual labor;
       Whereas 9,240 people, mostly children under the age of 
     five, die every day from hunger-related causes and others 
     suffer brain damage due to malnutrition;
       Whereas medical research documents that full economic 
     productivity by adults and full mental development of young 
     children both require adequate nutrition;
       Whereas permanent impairment of body or mind due to chronic 
     or temporary hunger

[[Page 1771]]

     contributes to a cycle of lowered economic productivity in 
     which millions of individuals and families are incapable of 
     generating sufficient income to escape from the cycle of 
     hunger and lack of productivity;
       Whereas adequate nutrition and other health measures have 
     resulted in lowering rates of infant mortality below 50 per 
     1,000 during the twentieth century in countries containing 
     over 50 percent of the world's population, and it is 
     technically feasible to achieve such a reduction worldwide by 
     the year 2000 through elimination of persistent hunger and 
     other health measures;
       Whereas sufficient food can be produced on a global basis 
     to adequately feed the population of the world, to prevent 
     brain damage due to malnutrition, and to eliminate lack of 
     economic productivity due to hunger;
       Whereas such food supplies must come from production both 
     in the countries which are net exporters of agricultural 
     commodities and products and also from increased food 
     production in food-deficit countries in the developing world;
       Whereas development assistance in the from of food can be 
     productively used to alleviate hunger and malnutrition among 
     impoverished people and also as a resource to promote 
     improvements in local agriculture, health, sanitation, 
     education, environmental sustainability and basic 
     infrastructure;
       Whereas private voluntary groups, other nongovernmental 
     organizations, and international organizations have 
     experience in the design and successful administration of 
     projects using food assistance for development-related 
     projects and for emergency relief;
       Whereas the United States has demonstrated a sustained 
     commitment to making food available for development and 
     relief purposes through the Public Law 480 Food for Peace and 
     other food donation programs, totaling $41,000,000,000 in 
     gross value between 1954 and 1988;
       Whereas the policy of the United States has been to 
     encourage cooperation among the bilateral aid programs of 
     various donor governments and international organizations 
     such as the World Food Programmed in pursuit of hunger 
     alleviation and related development goals;
       Whereas the Japanese commitment to double its official 
     development assistance from $25,000,000,000 between 1983 and 
     1987 to $50,000,000,000 between 1988 and 1992 and to provide 
     a larger proportion of its aid programs as grants will make 
     Japan the largest net bilateral development assistance donor;
       Whereas it is in the interest of both the Unites States and 
     Japan to promote hunger alleviation, sustainable economic 
     growth and political democracies in developing nations;
       Whereas Japan has barriers to the importation of certain 
     United States agricultural commodities and products, such as 
     rice;
       Whereas there has been a lack of progress on negotiating 
     reduced barriers to many United States commodities which 
     would be highly competitive in an open Japanese market;
       Whereas it is also in the interest of both the United 
     States and Japan to reduce bilateral trade tensions between 
     the two nations, particularly in the area of agricultural 
     trade; and
       Whereas the United States' agricultural production 
     capabilities and Japan's financial capabilities are 
     complementary factors that must be coordinated for dramatic 
     global progress to be made in reducing preventable deaths 
     from hunger-related causes during the next decade: Now, 
     therefore be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) the President should direct the Secretary of 
     Agriculture, the Secretary of 
     State, and the Administrator of the Agency for International 
     Development to encourage the Government of Japan to use a 
     portion of its increased foreign assistance funds to 
     significantly increase the availability of international food 
     aid supplies through bilateral or multilateral channels to 
     meet the needs of the world's hungry people;
       (2) Japanese aid resources could be channeled to finance, 
     directly or indirectly, long-term contracts to purchase and 
     deliver commodities from the United States and developing 
     country agricultural producers as donations to 
     nongovernmental or international organizations for use in 
     hunger alleviation projects with developmental results;
       (3) during the duration of any such long-term contractual 
     agreement, such purchases of food and agricultural 
     commodities and products produced in the United States which 
     are purchased by the Government of Japan for donation and 
     delivery to international hunger relief programs should be 
     considered as the equivalent of increased importation into 
     Japan of the same quantities of such product for the purposes 
     of United States Trade Law in cases where this would be of 
     advantage to Japan;
       (4) during the time period of any such Japanese purchases 
     from the United States, the value of United States Government 
     purchases of the same commodities for use in food aid 
     programs under Public Law 480 should be maintained at no less 
     than fiscal year 1990 levels; and
       (5) the commodities purchased under this program should be 
     donated to organizations equipped to ensure that the food 
     will be available only to projects that meet the following 
     criteria:
       (A) The use of the food will either be positive or neutral 
     in its impact on the incomes of local agricultural producers 
     and on incentives for production in the recipient nation.
       (B) The food will be targeted for use in improving the 
     nutritional status of impoverished and malnourished people.
       (C) To the maximum extent possible, the food will be used 
     in such programs as food-for-work, school feeding, or other 
     programs resulting in improved smallholder agricultural 
     productivity, health, sanitation, environmental 
     sustainability, education or basic infrastructure as well as 
     improved nutrition.

     Allowance should also be made for the monetization of up to 
     25 percent of the food donated for any particular project, 
     subject to the three conditions listed above.

To the Congress of the United States:
  In accordance with section 540 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 
Act (21 U.S.C. 360qq) (previously section 360D of the Public Health 
Service Act), I am submitting the report of the Department of Health and 
Human Services regarding the administration of the Radiation Control for 
Health and Safety Act of 1968 during calendar year 1991.

[[Page 1782]]

  The report recommends the repeal of section 540 of the Federal Food, 
Drug, and Cosmetic Act that requires the completion of this annual 
report. All the information found in this report is available to the 
Congress on a more immediate basis through Center technical reports, the 
Radiological Health Bulletin, and other publicly available sources. This 
annual report serves little useful purpose and diverts Agency resources 
from more productive activities.
                                                          George Bush.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Microlending Expansion 
     Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 112. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) nationwide, there are many individuals who possess 
     skills that, with certain short-term assistance, could enable 
     them to become successfully self-employed;
       (2) many talented and skilled individuals who are employed 
     in low-wage occupations could, with sufficient opportunity, 
     start their own small business concerns, which could provide 
     them with an improved standard of living;
       (3) most such individuals have little or no savings, a 
     nonexistent or poor credit history, and no access to credit 
     or capital with which to start a business venture;
       (4) women, minorities, and individuals residing in areas of 
     high unemployment and high levels of poverty have particular 
     difficulty obtaining access to credit or capital;
       (5) providing such individuals with small-scale, short-term 
     financial assistance in the form of microloans, together with 
     intensive marketing, management, and technical assistance, 
     could enable them to start or maintain small businesses, to 
     become self-sufficient, and to raise their standard of 
     living;
       (6) banking institutions are reluctant to provide such 
     assistance because of the administrative costs associated 
     with processing and servicing the loans and because they lack 
     experience in providing the type of marketing, management, 
     and technical assistance needed by such borrowers;
       (7) many organizations that have had successful experiences 
     in providing microloans and marketing, management, and 
     technical assistance to such borrowers exist throughout the 
     Nation; and
       (8) loans from the Federal Government to intermediaries for 
     the purpose of relending to start-up, newly established and 
     growing small business concerns are an important catalyst to 
     attract private sector participation in microlending.

     SEC. 113. MICROLOAN DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM AMENDMENTS.

     the Congressional Budget Office, and the Chairman of the

     Administrator of the Small Business Administration, shall

                  Subtitle C--Contract Bundling Study

     SEC. 321. CONTRACT BUNDLING STUDY.

       (a) In General.--The Administrator of the Small Business 
     Administration, acting through the Associate Administrator 
     for Procurement Assistance, shall conduct a study regarding 
     the impact of the practice known as ``contract bundling'' on 
     the participation of small business concerns in the Federal 
     procurement process.
       (b) Purpose.--In addition to such other matters as the 
     Associate Administrator for Procurement Assistance deems 
     appropriate to assure the conduct of a comprehensive study 
     and the development of practical recommendations, the study 
     required by subsection (a) shall--
       (1) identify the benefits and adverse effects of contract 
     bundling to the procuring agencies;
       (2) identify the benefits and adverse effects of contract 
     bundling on small business concerns;
       (3) examine the adequacy of the policy direction to agency 
     procurement officials regarding the bundling of contract 
     requirements;
       (4) examine the extent to which agencies have been 
     combining their requirements for the procurement of goods and 
     services (including construction) into solicitations 
     requiring an offeror to be able to perform increasingly 
     larger contracts covering multiple and diverse elements of 
     performance;
       (5) consider the appropriateness of the explanatory 
     statements submitted by the procuring agencies pursuant to 
     section 15(a) of the Small Business Act regarding bundling of 
     contract requirements; and
       (6) determine whether procurement center representatives, 
     small business specialists, or other agency procurement 
     officials can, under existing guidance and authority, have 
     the necessary policy direction and effective authority to 
     make an independent assessment regarding a proposed bundling 
     of contract requirements.
       (c) Participation.--
       (1) In general.--In conducting the study described in 
     subsection (b), the Associate Administrator for Procurement 
     Assistance shall provide for participation by representatives 
     of--
       (A) the Office of the Chief Counsel for Advocacy;
       (B) the Office of Federal Procurement Policy; and
       (C) the 10 Federal departments or agencies having the 
     greatest dollar value of procurement awards during fiscal 
     year 1991.
       (2) Additional consultation.--In conducting the study, the 
     Associate Administrator for Procurement Assistance shall 
     consult with representatives of organizations representing 
     small business government contractors and such other public 
     and private entities as may be appropriate.
       (d) Schedule.--Not later than 90 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Associate Administrator for 
     Procurement Assistance shall publish in the Federal Register 
     a plan for the study required by this section. The study 
     shall be completed not later than March 31, 1993.
       (e) Report.--Not later than May 15, 1993, the Administrator 
     of the Small Business Administration shall submit a report to 
     the Committees on Small Business of the Senate and the House 
     of Representatives. The report shall contain the results of 
     the study required by subsection (a), together with 
     recommendations for legislative and regulatory changes to 
     maintain small business participation in the Federal 
     procurement process, as the Administrator deems appropriate.
       (f) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term 
     ``contracting bundling'' or ``bundling of contract 
     requirements'' refers to the practice of consolidating into a 
     single large contract solicitation multiple procurement 
     requirements that were previously solicited and awarded as 
     separate smaller contracts, generally resulting in a contract 
     opportunity unsuitable for award to a small business concern 
     due to the diversity and size of the elements of performance 
     specified and the aggregate dollar value of the anticipated 
     award.
   Subtitle D--Resolution Regarding Small Business Access to Capital

     SEC. 331. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) small business concerns remain a thriving and vital 
     part of the economy, accounting for the majority of new jobs, 
     new products, and new services created in the United States;
       (2) adequate access to either debt or equity capital is a 
     critical component of small business formation, expansion, 
     and success;
       (3) small business concerns, which represent higher degrees 
     of risk in financial markets than do large businesses, are 
     experiencing increased difficulties in obtaining credit;
       (4) minority-owned business enterprises have found 
     extraordinary difficulties in obtaining credit; and
       (5) demand for credit under the loan guarantee program 
     contained in section 7(a) of the Small Business Act is 
     insufficient to meet current demands.
       (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) financial institutions should expand their efforts to 
     provide credit to small business concerns, with special 
     emphasis on minority-owned small business concerns;
       (2) legislation and regulations considered by the Congress 
     should be carefully examined to ensure that small business 
     concerns are not negatively impacted; and
       (3) legislation and regulations that enhance the viability 
     of small business concerns, including changes in tax and 
     health care policy, should be given a priority for passage by 
     the Congress.

       Amend the title so as to read: ``An Act to amend the Small 
     Business Act and related Acts to provide loan assistance to 
     small business concerns, to extend certain demonstration 
     programs relating to small business participation in Federal 
     procurement, to modify certain Small Business Administration 
     programs, to assist small firms to adjust to reductions in 
     Defense-related business, to improve the management of 
     certain program activities of the Small Business 
     Administration, to provide for the undertaking of certain 
     studies, and for other purposes.''.

     SEC. 112. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) nationwide, there are many individuals who possess 
     skills that, with certain short-term assistance, could enable 
     them to become successfully self-employed;
       (2) many talented and skilled individuals who are employed 
     in low-wage occupations could, with sufficient opportunity, 
     start their own small business concerns, which could provide 
     them with an improved standard of living;
       (3) most such individuals have little or no savings, a 
     nonexistent or poor credit history, and no access to credit 
     or capital with which to start a business venture;
       (4) women, minorities, and individuals residing in areas of 
     high unemployment and high levels of poverty have particular 
     difficulty obtaining access to credit or capital;
       (5) providing such individuals with small-scale, short-term 
     financial assistance in the form of microloans, together with 
     intensive marketing, management, and technical assistance, 
     could enable them to start or maintain small businesses, to 
     become self-sufficient, and to raise their standard of 
     living;
       (6) banking institutions are reluctant to provide such 
     assistance because of the administrative costs associated 
     with processing and servicing the loans and because they lack 
     experience in providing the type of marketing, management, 
     and technical assistance needed by such borrowers;
       (7) many organizations that have had successful experiences 
     in providing microloans and marketing, management, and 
     technical assistance to such borrowers exist throughout the 
     Nation; and
       (8) loans from the Federal Government to intermediaries for 
     the purpose of relending to start-up, newly established and 
     growing small business concerns are an important catalyst to 
     attract private sector participation in microlending.

     information on the responses and trends of small business 
     concerns, small business concerns owned and controlled by 
     women, and small business concerns owned and controlled by 
     socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.

       (1) market perceptions and the reasons for the slow 
     development of a secondary market for loans to small 
     businesses;
       (2) any means to standardize loan documents and

     market for loans to small businesses.
                  Subtitle C--Contract Bundling Study

     SEC. 321. CONTRACT BUNDLING STUDY.

       (a) In General.--The Administrator of the Small Business 
     Administration, acting through the Associate Administrator 
     for Procurement Assistance, shall conduct a study regarding 
     the impact of the practice known as ``contract bundling'' on 
     the participation of small business concerns in the Federal 
     procurement process.
       (b) Purpose.--In addition to such other matters as the 
     Associate Administrator for Procurement Assistance deems 
     appropriate to assure the conduct of a comprehensive study 
     and the development of practical recommendations, the study 
     required by subsection (a) shall--
       (1) identify the benefits and adverse effects of contract 
     bundling to the procuring agencies;
       (2) identify the benefits and adverse effects of contract 
     bundling on small business concerns;
       (3) examine the adequacy of the policy direction to agency 
     procurement officials regarding the bundling of contract 
     requirements;
       (4) examine the extent to which agencies have been 
     combining their requirements for the procurement of goods and 
     services (including construction) into solicitations 
     requiring an offeror to be able to perform increasingly 
     larger contracts covering multiple and diverse elements of 
     performance;
       (5) consider the appropriateness of the explanatory 
     statements submitted by the procuring agencies pursuant to 
     section 15(a) of the Small Business Act regarding bundling of 
     contract requirements; and
       (6) determine whether procurement center representatives, 
     small business specialists, or other agency procurement 
     officials can, under existing guidance and authority, have 
     the necessary policy direction and effective authority to 
     make an independent assessment regarding a proposed bundling 
     of contract requirements.
       (c) Participation.--
       (1) In general.--In conducting the study described in 
     subsection (b), the Associate Administrator for Procurement 
     Assistance shall provide for participation by representatives 
     of--
       (A) the Office of the Chief Counsel for Advocacy;
       (B) the Office of Federal Procurement Policy; and
       (C) the 10 Federal departments or agencies having the 
     greatest dollar value of procurement awards during fiscal 
     year 1991.
       (2) Additional consultation.--In conducting the study, the 
     Associate Administrator for Procurement Assistance shall 
     consult with representatives of organizations representing 
     small business government contractors and such other public 
     and private entities as may be appropriate.
       (d) Schedule.--Not later than 90 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Associate Administrator for 
     Procurement Assistance shall publish in the Federal Register 
     a plan for the study required by this section. The study 
     shall be completed not later than March 31, 1993.
       (e) Report.--Not later than May 15, 1993, the Administrator 
     of the Small Business Administration shall submit a report to 
     the Committees on Small Business of the Senate and the House 
     of Representatives. The report shall contain the results of 
     the study required by subsection (a), together with 
     recommendations for legislative and regulatory changes to 
     maintain small business participation in the Federal 
     procurement process, as the Administrator deems appropriate.
       (f) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term 
     ``contracting bundling'' or ``bundling of contract 
     requirements'' refers to the practice of consolidating into a 
     single large contract solicitation multiple procurement 
     requirements that were previously solicited and awarded as 
     separate smaller contracts, generally resulting in a contract 
     opportunity unsuitable for award to a small business concern 
     due to the diversity and size of the elements of performance 
     specified and the aggregate dollar value of the anticipated 
     award.
   Subtitle D--Resolution Regarding Small Business Access to Capital

     SEC. 331. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) small business concerns remain a thriving and vital 
     part of the economy, accounting for the majority of new jobs, 
     new products, and new services created in the United States;
       (2) adequate access to either debt or equity capital is a 
     critical component of small business formation, expansion, 
     and success;
       (3) small business concerns, which represent higher degrees 
     of risk in financial markets than do large businesses, are 
     experiencing increased difficulties in obtaining credit;
       (4) minority-owned business enterprises have found 
     extraordinary difficulties in obtaining credit; and
       (5) demand for credit under the loan guarantee program 
     contained in section 7(a) of the Small Business Act is 
     insufficient to meet current demands.
       (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) financial institutions should expand their efforts to 
     provide credit to small business concerns, with special 
     emphasis on minority-owned small business concerns;
       (2) legislation and regulations considered by the Congress 
     should be carefully examined to ensure that small business 
     concerns are not negatively impacted; and
       (3) legislation and regulations that enhance the viability 
     of small business concerns, including changes in tax and 
     health care policy, should be given a priority for passage by 
     the Congress.

     (15 U.S.C. 683) is amended--
       (1) by inserting after the word ``debentures'' in the first 
     and sixth sentences of subsection (b) the following: ``or 
     participating securities'';
       (2) by striking paragraphs (1) through (3) of subsection 
     (b) and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
       ``(1) The total amount of debentures and participating 
     securities that may be guaranteed by the Administration and 
     outstanding from a company licensed under section 301(c) of 
     this Act shall not exceed 300 per centum of the private 
     capital of such company: Provided, That nothing in this 
     paragraph shall require any such company that on March 31, 
     1993, has outstanding debentures in excess of 300 per centum 
     of its private capital to prepay such excess: And provided 
     further, That any such company may apply for an additional 
     debenture guarantee or participating security guarantee with 
     the proceeds to be used solely to pay the amount due on such 
     maturing debenture, but the maturity of the new debenture or 
     security shall be not later than September 30, 2002.
       ``(2) After March 31, 1993, the maximum amount of 
     outstanding leverage made available to a company licensed 
     under section 301(c) of this Act shall be determined by the 
     amount of such company's private capital--
       ``(A) if the company has private capital of not more than 
     $15,000,000, the total amount of leverage shall not exceed 
     300 per centum of private capital;

     capital over $30,000,000 but not to exceed an additional 
     $15,000,000.
       ``(3) Subject to the foregoing dollar and percentage 
     limits, a company licensed under section 301(c) of this Act 
     may issue and have outstanding both guaranteed debentures and 
     participating securities: Provided, That the total amount of 
     participating securities outstanding shall not exceed 200 per 
     centum of private capital.
       ``(4) In no event shall the aggregate amount of outstanding 
     leverage of any such company or companies which are commonly 
     controlled as determined by the Administration exceed 
     $90,000,000, unless the Administration determines on a case 
     by case basis to permit a higher amount for companies under 
     common control and imposes such additional terms and 
     conditions as it determines appropriate to minimize the risk 
     of loss to the Administration in the event of default.'';
       (3) by inserting before the period at the end of subsection 
     (c)(6) the following: ``, except as provided in paragraph 
     (7)''; and
       (4) by adding the following at the end of subsection (c):

     amounts specified in section 303(b) subject to the following:
       ``(A) The interest rate on debentures and the rate of 
     prioritized payments on participating securities shall be 
     that specified in subsection 303(g)(2) without any 
     reductions.
       ``(B) Any outstanding assistance under paragraphs (1) to 
     (6) of this subsection shall be subtracted from such 
     company's eligibility under section 303(b)(2)(A).''.

     SEC. 403. PARTICIPATING SECURITIES.

       Section 303 of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 
     (15 U.S.C. 683) is further

[[Page 1794]]

     amended by adding the following new subsections:
       ``(g) In order to encourage small business investment 
     companies to provide equity capital to small businesses, the 
     Administration is authorized to guarantee the payment of the 
     redemption price and prioritized payments on participating 
     securities issued by such companies which are licensed 
     pursuant to section 301(c) of this Act, and a trust or a pool 
     acting on behalf of the Administration is authorized to 
     purchase such securities. Such guarantees and purchases shall 
     be made on such terms and conditions as the Administration 
     shall establish by regulation. For purposes of this section, 
     (A) the term `participating securities' includes preferred 
     stock, a preferred limited partnership interest or a similar 
     instrument, including debentures under the terms of which 
     interest is payable only to the extent of earnings and (B) 
     the term `prioritized payments' includes dividends on stock, 
     interest on qualifying debentures, or priority returns on 
     preferred limited partnership interests which are paid only 
     to the extent of earnings. Participating securities 
     guaranteed under this subsection shall be subject to the 
     following restrictions and limitations, in addition to such 
     other restrictions and limitations as the Administration may 
     determine:
       ``(1) Participating securities shall be redeemed not later 
     than 15 years after their date of issuance for an amount 
     equal to 100 per centum of the original issue price plus the 
     amount of any accrued prioritized payment: Provided, That if, 
     at the time the securities are redeemed, whether as scheduled 
     or in advance, the issuing company (A) has not paid all 
     accrued prioritized payments in full as provided in paragraph 
     (2) below and (B) has not sold or otherwise disposed of all 
     investments subject to profit distributions pursuant to 
     paragraph (11), the company's obligation to pay accrued and 
     unpaid prioritized payments shall continue and payments shall 
     be made from the realized gain, if any, on the disposition of 
     such investments, but if on disposition there is no realized 
     gain, the obligation to pay accrued and unpaid prioritized 
     payment shall be extinguished: Provided further, That in the 
     interim, the company shall not make any in-kind distributions 
     of such investments unless it pays to the Administration such 
     sums, up to the amount of the unrealized appreciation on such 
     investments, as may be necessary to pay in full the accrued 
     prioritized payments.
       ``(2) Prioritized payments on participating securities 
     shall be preferred and cumulative and payable out of the 
     retained earnings available for distribution, as defined by 
     the Administration, of the issuing company at a rate 
     determined by the Secretary of the Treasury taking into 
     consideration the current average market yield on outstanding 
     marketable obligations of the United States with remaining 
     periods to maturity comparable to the average maturities on 
     such securities, adjusted to the nearest one-eighth of 1 per 
     centum, plus, at the time the guarantee is issued, such 
     additional charge, if any, toward covering other costs of the 
     program as the Administration may determine to be consistent 
     with its purposes, but not to exceed 2 per centum.
       ``(3) In the event of liquidation of the company, 
     participating securities shall be senior in priority for all 
     purposes to all other equity interests in the issuing 
     company, whenever created.
       ``(4) Any company issuing a participating security under 
     this subsection shall commit to invest or shall invest and 
     maintain an amount equal to the outstanding face value of 
     such security solely in equity capital. As used in this 
     subsection, `equity capital' means common or preferred stock 
     or a similar instrument, including subordinated debt with 
     equity features which is not amortized and which provides for 
     interest payments contingent upon and limited to the extent 
     of earnings.
       ``(5) The only debt other than leverage obtained in 
     accordance with this title which any company issuing a 
     participating security under this subsection may have 
     outstanding shall be temporary debt in amounts limited to not 
     more than 50 per centum of private capital.
       ``(6) The Administration may permit the proceeds of a 
     participating security to be used to pay the principal amount 
     due on outstanding debentures guaranteed by the 
     Administration, if (A) the company has outstanding equity 
     capital invested in an amount equal to the amount of the 
     debentures being refinanced and (B) the Administration 
     receives profit participation on such terms and conditions as 
     it may determine, but not to exceed the per centums specified 
     in paragraph (11).
       ``(7) For purposes of computing profit participation under 
     paragraph (11), except as otherwise determined by the 
     Administration, the management expenses of any company which 
     issues participating securities shall not be greater than 2.5 
     per centum per annum of the combined capital of the company, 
     plus $125,000 if the company's combined capital is less than 
     $20,000,000. For purposes of this paragraph, (A) the term 
     `combined capital' means the aggregate amount of private 
     capital and outstanding leverage and (B) the term `management 
     expenses' includes salaries, office expenses, travel, 
     business development, office and equipment rental, 
     bookkeeping and the development, investigation and monitoring 
     of investments, but does not include the cost of services 
     provided by specialized outside consultants, outside lawyers 
     and outside auditors, who perform services not generally 
     expected of a venture capital company nor does such term 
     include the cost of services provided by any affiliate of the 
     company which are not part of the normal process of making 
     and monitoring venture capital investments.
       ``(8) Notwithstanding paragraph (9), if a company is 
     operating as a limited partnership or as a subchapter s 
     corporation or an equivalent pass-through entity for tax 
     purposes and if there are no accumulated and unpaid 
     prioritized payments, the company may make annual 
     distributions to the partners or shareholders in amounts not 
     greater than each partner's or shareholder's maximum tax 
     liability. For purposes of this paragraph, the term `maximum 
     tax liability' means the amount of income allocated to each 
     partner or shareholder (including an allocation to the 
     Administration as if it were a taxpayer) for Federal income 
     tax purposes in the income tax return filed or to be filed by 
     the company with respect to the fiscal year of the company 
     immediately preceding such distribution, multiplied by the 
     highest combined marginal Federal and State income tax rates 
     for corporations or individuals, whichever is higher, on each 
     type of income included in such return. For purposes of this 
     paragraph, the term `State income tax' means the income tax 
     of the State where the company's principal place of business 
     is located.
       ``(9) After making any distributions as provided in 
     paragraph (8), a company with participating securities 
     outstanding may distribute the balance of income to its 
     investors, specifically including the Administration, in the 
     per centums specified in paragraph (11), if there are no 
     accumulated and unpaid prioritized payments and if all 
     amounts due the Administration pursuant to paragraph (11) 
     have been paid in full, subject to the following conditions:
       ``(A) As of the date of the proposed distribution, if the 
     amount of leverage outstanding is more than 200 per centum of 
     the amount of private capital, any amounts distributed shall 
     be made to private investors and to the Administration in the 
     ratio of leverage to private capital.
       ``(B) As of the date of the proposed distribution, if the 
     amount of leverage outstanding is more than 100 per centum 
     but not more than 200 per centum of the amount of private 
     capital, 50 per centum of any amounts distributed shall be 
     made to the Administration and 50 per centum shall be made to 
     the private investors.
       ``(C) If the amount of leverage outstanding is 100 per 
     centum, or less, of the amount of private capital, the ratio 
     shall be that for distribution of profits as provided in 
     paragraph (11).
       ``(D) Any amounts received by the Administration under 
     subparagraph (A) or (B) shall be applied first as profit 
     participation as provided in paragraph (11) and any remainder 
     shall be applied as a prepayment of the principal amount of 
     the participating securities or debentures.
       ``(10) After making any distributions pursuant to paragraph 
     (8), a company with participating securities outstanding may 
     return capital to its investors, specifically including the 
     Administration, if there are no accumulated and unpaid 
     prioritized payments and if all amounts due the 
     Administration pursuant to paragraph (11) have been paid in 
     full. Any distributions under this paragraph shall be made to 
     private investors and to the Administration in the ratio of 
     private capital to leverage as of the date of the proposed 
     distribution: Provided, That if the amount of leverage 
     outstanding is less than 50 per centum of the amount of 
     private capital or $10,000,000, whichever is less, no 
     distribution shall be required to be made to the 
     Administration unless the Administration determines, on a 
     case by case basis, to require distributions to the 
     Administration to reduce the amount of outstanding leverage 
     to an amount less than $10,000,000.
       ``(11)(A) A company which issues participating securities 
     shall agree to allocate to the Administration a share of its 
     profits determined by the relationship of its private capital 
     to the amount of participating securities guaranteed by the 
     Administration in accordance with the following:
       ``(i) If the total amount of participating securities is 
     100 per centum of private capital or less, the company shall 
     allocate to the Administration a per centum share computed as 
     follows: the amount of participating securities divided by 
     private capital times 9 per centum.
       ``(ii) If the total amount of participating securities is 
     more than 100 per centum but not greater than 200 per centum 
     of private capital, the company shall allocate to the 
     Administration a per centum share computed as follows:
       ``(I) 9 per centum, plus
       ``(II) 3 per centum of the amount of participating 
     securities minus private capital divided by private capital.
       ``(B) Notwithstanding any other provision of this 
     paragraph--
       ``(i) in no event shall the total per centum required by 
     this paragraph exceed 12 per centum, unless required pursuant 
     to the provisions of (ii) below,
       ``(ii) if, on the date the participating securities are 
     marketed, the interest rate on Treasury bonds with a maturity 
     of 10 years is a rate other than 8 per centum, the 
     Administration shall adjust the rate specified in paragraph 
     (A) above, either higher or lower, by the same per centum by 
     which the Treasury bond rate is higher or lower than 8 per 
     centum, and

[[Page 1795]]

       ``(iii) this paragraph shall not be construed to create any 
     ownership interest of the Administration in the company.
       ``(12) A company may elect to make an in-kind distribution 
     of securities only if such securities are publicly traded and 
     marketable. The company shall deposit the Administration's 
     share of such securities for disposition with a trustee 
     designated by the Administration or, at its option and with 
     the agreement of the company, the Administration may direct 
     the company to retain the Administration's share. If the 
     company retains the Administration's share, it shall sell the 
     Administration's share and promptly remit the proceeds to the 
     Administration. As used in this paragraph, the term `trustee' 
     means a person who is knowledgeable about and proficient in 
     the marketing of thinly traded securities.
       ``(h) The computation of amounts due the Administration 
     under participating securities shall be subject to the 
     following terms and conditions:

     ``SEC. 321. ISSUANCE AND GUARANTEE OF TRUST CERTIFICATES.

       ``(a) The Administration is authorized to issue trust 
     certificates representing ownership of all or a fractional 
     part of debentures issued by small business investment 
     companies, including companies operating under the authority 
     of section 301(d), and guaranteed by the Administration under 
     this Act, or participating securities which are issued by 
     such companies and purchased and guaranteed pursuant to 
     section 303(g): Provided, That such trust certificates shall 
     be based on and backed by a trust or pool approved by the 
     Administration and composed solely of guaranteed debentures 
     or guaranteed participating securities.
       ``(b) The Administration is authorized, upon such terms and 
     conditions as are deemed appropriate, to guarantee the timely 
     payment of the principal of and interest on trust 
     certificates issued by the Administration or its agent for 
     purposes of this section. Such guarantee shall be limited to 
     the extent of principal and interest on the guaranteed 
     debentures or the redemption price of and priority payments 
     on the participating securities, which compose the trust or 
     pool. In the event that a debenture in such trust or pool is 
     prepaid, or participating securities 
     are redeemed, either voluntarily or involuntarily, or in the 
     event of default of a debenture or voluntary or involuntary 
     redemption of a participating security, the guarantee of 
     timely payment of principal and interest on the trust 
     certificates shall be reduced in proportion to the amount of 
     principal and interest such prepaid debenture or redeemed 
     participating security and priority payments represent in the 
     trust or pool. Interest on prepaid or defaulted debentures, 
     or priority payments on participating securities, shall 
     accrue and be guaranteed by the Administration only through 
     the date of payment on the guarantee. During the term of the 
     trust certificate, it may be called for redemption due to 
     prepayment or default of all debentures or redemption, 
     whether voluntary or involuntary, of all participating 
     securities residing in the pool.
       ``(c) The full faith and credit of the United States is 
     pledged to the payment of all amounts which may be required 
     to be paid under any guarantee of such trust certificates 
     issued by the Administration or its agent pursuant to this 
     section.

     guarantee under this section: Provided, That nothing herein 
     shall preclude any agent of the Administration from 
     collecting a fee approved by the Administration for the 
     functions described in subsection (f)(2) of this section.
       ``(e)(1) In the event the Administration pays a claim under 
     a guarantee issued under this section, it shall be subrogated 
     fully to the rights satisfied by such payment.

     preclude or limit the exercise by the Administration of its 
     ownership rights in the debentures or participating 
     securities residing in a trust or pool against which trust 
     certificates are issued.

     described in paragraph (2); and

     appropriate.
       ``(2) The Administrator shall contract with an agent or 
     agents to carry out on behalf of the Administration the 
     pooling and the central registration functions of this 
     section including, notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, maintenance on behalf of and under the direction of the 
     Administration, such commercial bank accounts as may be 
     necessary to facilitate trusts or pools backed by debentures 
     or participating securities guaranteed under this Act, and 
     the issuance of trust certificates to facilitate such 
     poolings. Such agent or agents shall provide a fidelity bond 
     or insurance in such amounts as the Administration determines 
     to be necessary to fully protect the interests of the 
     Government.
       ``(3) Prior to any sale, the Administrator shall require

     issued pursuant to this section, information on the terms,

     education, training, and employment services to the eligible 
     population, which also requires increased funding in order to 
     maintain current service levels.

                        ``performance standards

       ``Sec. 106. (a) Findings.--The Congress recognizes that job 
     training is an investment in human capital and not an 
     expense. In order to determine whether that investment has 
     been productive, the Congress finds that--
       ``(1) it is essential that criteria for measuring the 
     return on this investment be developed; and
       ``(2) the basic return on the investment is to be measured 
     by long-term economic self-sufficiency, increased employment 
     and earnings, reductions in welfare dependency, and increased 
     educational attainment and occupational skills.
       ``(b) Title II Performance Standards.--
       ``(1) General objective.--In prescribing performance 
     standards for programs under parts A and C of title II, the

     and the Secretary of Health and Human Services, shall 
     prescribe performance standards.
       ``(3) Factors for adult standards.--The Secretary shall 
     base the performance standards for adult programs under part 
     A of title II on appropriate factors, which may include--

     employment;
       ``(C) an increase in earnings, including hourly wages;
       ``(D) a reduction in welfare dependency; and
       ``(E) acquisition of skills, including basic skills, 
     required to promote continued employability in the local 
     labor market (including attainment of the competency levels 
     described in paragraph (5)), or acquisition of a high school 
     diploma or the equivalent of the diploma, if the acquisition 
     of such skills or diploma is in addition to obtaining one or 
     more of the outcomes described in subparagraphs (A) through 
     (D).
       ``(4) Factors for youth standards.--
       ``(A) In general.--The Secretary shall base the performance 
     standards for youth pro-

[[Page 1800]]

     grams under part C of title II on appropriate factors 
     described in paragraph (3), and on factors including--
       ``(i) attainment of employment competencies (including

     (5));

     differences between in-school and out-of-school programs.
       ``(5) Competency levels.--The private industry councils, in 
     consultation with appropriate educational agencies, and, 
     where appropriate, the private sector, labor organizations, 
     and community-based organizations, shall establish youth and 
     adult competency levels, based on such factors as entry level 
     skills and other hiring requirements.
       ``(6) Requirements.--The performance standards described in 
     paragraphs (3) and (4) shall include provisions governing--
       ``(A) the base period prior to program participation that 
     will be used for measurement of the factors in such 
     paragraphs, as appropriate;
       ``(B) a representative period after termination from the 
     program that is a reasonable indicator of postprogram

     section 314(e).
       ``(d) State Variation of Performance Standards.--
       ``(1) Authority of governor.--Each Governor shall 
     prescribe, and report in the Governor's coordination and

     II and title III in addition to those standards established

     performance, including the selection of an alternative 
     administrative entity to administer the program for the 
     service delivery area.
       ``(C) Alternative administrative entity selection.--The 
     alternative administrative entity described in subparagraph 
     (B) may be a newly formed private industry council or any

       Whereas attempts to bring about a permanent cessation of 
     hostilities precipitated by Serbia and Serbian-backed forces 
     in the independent state of Bosnia-Hercegovina through 
     negotiations have repeatedly failed;
       Whereas horrible atrocities are being committed against the 
     civilian population of Bosnia-Hercegovina, including the 
     ``ethnic-cleansing'' of regions inhabited by non-Serbs, the 
     forced detention, ill treatment, and torture of persons in 
     internment camps, and other gross violations of 
     internationally recognized human rights;
       Whereas officials of the International Committee of the Red 
     Cross have been denied access to prisoner-of-war camps and 
     internment camps throughout Bosnia-Hercegovina even though 
     they are entitled to such access under Article 143 of the 
     1949 Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian 
     Persons in Time of War;
       Whereas United Nations and Red Cross relief convoys 
     carrying much needed supplies of food and medicine are being 
     repeatedly blocked and, in some cases, have been attacked by 
     Serbian-backed forces;
       Whereas the United Nations Security Council voted 
     unanimously to dispatch forces to reopen Sarajevo's airport, 
     and the delivery of supplies of humanitarian assistance to 
     the city's beleaguered population has taken place under the 
     protection of these forces with great difficulty;
       Whereas the Security Council adopted Resolution 757 
     imposing economic sanctions on Serbia and Montenegro, and 
     also endorsed the cease-fire plan negotiated by the envoy of 
     the European Community which would place all heavy weapons in 
     the possession of factions in Bosnia-Hercegovina under 
     international supervision;
       Whereas the President of the democratically elected 
     Government of Bosnia-Hercegovina has issued urgent appeals 
     for immediate assistance from the international community;
       Whereas the situation in Sarajevo and elsewhere in Bosnia-
     Hercegovina has reached a critical point requiring immediate 
     and decisive action by the international community; and
       Whereas the absence of immediate and decisive action by the 
     international community against aggression in Bosnia-
     Hercegovina could encourage the spread of violent conflict 
     elsewhere in the former Yugoslavia and the Balkans generally, 
     as well as in other regions plagued by ethnic tensions: Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved,

     SECTION 1. SUPPORT FOR DECISIVE ACTION.

       The House of Representatives supports President Bush's 
     statement of August 6, 1992, and commends him--

     United Nations Security Council Resolution 757,
       (C) the implementation of the Security Council-endorsed 
     plan to place heavy weapons belonging to all factions in 
     Bosnia-Hercegovina under United Nations supervision, and
       (D) the resumption of peace talks among all parties to the 
     conflict; and
       (2) for urging the United Nations Security Council to 
     authorize measures, including the use of military force, 
     necessary to ensure the provision of humanitarian relief to 
     the people of Bosnia-Hercegovina.

     SEC. 2. ADDITIONAL STEPS TO ADDRESS THE CRISIS.

       The House of Representatives urges the United Nations 
     Security Council to consider means by which--
       (1) United Nations and International Committee of the Red 
     Cross personnel shall be granted immediate, unimpeded, and 
     continuous access to all refugee camps, prisoner-of-war 
     camps, internment camps, and other places of detention in all 
     of the republics of the former Socialist Federal Republic of 
     Yugoslavia; and
       (2) civilians in Bosnia-Hercegovina shall be protected from 
     the use of force and violations of the laws of war.

     SEC. 3. INTERNATIONAL WAR CRIMES TRIBUNAL.

       It is the sense of the House of Representatives that an 
     international tribunal should be convened--
       (1) to investigate allegations of war crimes and crimes 
     against humanity committed within the territory of the former 
     Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia; and
       (2) to accumulate evidence against, charge, and otherwise 
     prepare the basis for trying, any individual whom the 
     tribunal has probable cause to believe is responsible for or 
     committed such crimes.

  Mr. WHEAT, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 551):

       Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this 
     resolution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1 (b) of rule 
     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the State of the Union for consideration of 
     the bill (H.R. 4323) to improve education for all students by 
     restructuring the education system in the States. The first 
     reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. Points of order 
     against consideration of the bill for failure to comply with 
     clause 8 of rule XXI are waived. General debate shall be 
     confined to the bill and the amendments made in order by this 
     resolution and shall not exceed one hour equally divided and 
     controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
     Committee on Education and Labor. After general debate the 
     bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute 
     rule. It shall be in order to consider as an original bill 
     for the purpose of amendment under the five-minute rule the 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the 
     Committee on Education and Labor now printed in the bill, 
     modified by the amendments printed in section 2 of this 
     resolution. The committee amendment in the nature of a 
     substitute, as modified, shall be considered as read. Points 
     of order against the committee amendment in the nature of a 
     substitute, as modified, for failure to comply with clause 7 
     of rule XVI are waived. No amendment to the committee 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute, as modified, shall 
     be in order except the amendments printed in the report of 
     the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution and 
     amendments en bloc described in this resolution. Amendments 
     printed in the report may be offered only in the order 
     printed and only by the named proponent or a designee, shall 
     be considered as read when offered, shall not be subject to 
     amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for division 
     of the question in the House or in the Committee of the 
     Whole. Any time specified in the report for debate on an 
     amendment shall be equally divided and controlled by the 
     proponent and an opponent. All points of order against 
     amendments printed in the report are waived. It shall be in 
     order at any time for the chairman of the Committee on 
     Education and Labor or his designee to offer amendments en 
     bloc consisting of amendments printed in the report of the 
     Committee on Rules or germane modifications thereof. Such 
     amendments en bloc shall be considered as read, except that 
     modifications shall be reported; shall be debatable for forty 
     minutes equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
     ranking minority member of the Committee on Education and 
     Labor or their respective designees; shall not be subject to 
     amendment; and shall not be subject to a demand for division 
     of the question in the House or in the Committee of the 
     Whole. All points of order against such amendments en bloc 
     are waived. The original proponent of an amendment included 
     in amendments en bloc may insert a statement in the 
     Congressional Record immediately before the disposition of 
     the amendments en bloc. At the conclusion of consideration of 
     the bill for amendment the Committee shall rise and report 
     the bill to the House with such amendments as may have been 
     adopted. Any Member may demand a separate vote in the House 
     on any amendment adopted in the Committee of the Whole to the 
     bill or to the committee amendment in the nature of a 
     substitute, as modified. The previous question shall be 
     considered as ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to 
     final passage without intervening motion except one motion to 
     recommit with or without instructions. After passage of H.R. 
     4323, it shall be in order to take from the Speaker's table 
     the bill S. 2 and to consider the Senate bill in the House. 
     All points of order against the Senate bill and its 
     consideration are waived. It shall then be in order to move 
     to strike all after the enacting clause of the Senate bill 
     and to insert in lieu thereof the provisions of H.R. 4323 as 
     passed by the House. All points of order against that motion 
     are waived. If the motion is adopted and the Senate bill, as 
     amended, is passed, then it shall be in order to move to 
     insist on the House amendment to S. 2 and to request a 
     conference with the Senate thereon.
       Sec. 2. The amendment in the nature of a substitute 
     recommended by the Committee on Education and Labor now 
     printed in the bill is modified as follows:
       Page 13, strike line 14 and all that follows through page 
     14, line 2;
       Page 14, line 3, strike ``(d)'' and insert in lieu thereof 
     ``(c)'';
       Page 14, line 7, strike ``(e)'' and insert in lieu thereof 
     ``(d)'';
       Page 89, strike line 15 and all that follows through page 
     90, line 7;
       Page 90, line 8, strike ``Sec. 8216'' and insert in lieu 
     thereof ``Sec. 8215''; and
       Page 103, strike line 1 and all that follows through page 
     105, line 16.

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. WHEAT, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to said resolution?

submitted by Mr. ARMEY:

       Strike all after the enacting clause and insert the 
     following:

     SECTION 1. NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS IMPROVEMENT.

       The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 
     U.S.C. 2701 et seq.) is amended--
       (1) by redesignating title X as title IX;
       (2) by redesignating sections 8001 through 8005 as 9001 
     through 9005; and
       (3) by inserting after title VII the following:

             ``TITLE VIII--NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS IMPROVEMENT

     ``SEC. 8001. SHORT TITLE.

       ``This title may be cited as the `Neighborhood Schools 
     Improvement Act'.

     ``SEC. 8002. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) all students can learn and must realize their 
     potential if the United States is to prosper;
       ``(2) the reforms in education of the last 15 years have 
     achieved good results, but these efforts often have been 
     limited to a few schools or to a single part of the 
     educational system;
       ``(3) additional pilot projects will have the same limited 
     effect as previous reforms and isolated changes in policy 
     will most likely have minimal impact;
       ``(4) strategies must be developed by States and 
     communities to support the revitalization of all local 
     schools by fundamentally changing the entire system of 
     education through comprehensive, coherent, and coordinated 
     improvement;
       ``(5) parents, teachers and other local educators, and 
     community leaders must be involved in developing system-wide 
     reform strategies that reflect the needs of their individual 
     communities;
       ``(6) States and local educational agencies, working 
     together, must immediately set about developing and 
     implementing such system-wide reform strategies if the Nation 
     is to educate all children to meet their full potential and 
     achieve national goals;
       ``(7) increasing funding for existing Federal education 
     programs at levels that will enable them to fulfill their 
     mission is a critical part of assisting States and local 
     educational agencies in their school improvement efforts; and
       ``(8) additional Federal funds should be targeted to 
     support State and local initiatives and to leverage State and 
     local resources for designing and implementing system-wide 
     reform plans.

     ``SEC. 8003. PURPOSE.

       ``It is the purpose of this title to raise the quality of 
     education for all students by supporting a 10-year broad 
     based public effort to promote coherent and coordinated 
     changes in the system of education throughout the Nation at 
     the State and local level without jeopardizing funding for 
     existing Federal education programs.

     ``SEC. 8004. PROGRAM AUTHORIZED.

       ``The Secretary is authorized, in accordance with the 
     provisions of this title, to make grants to State educational 
     agencies to enable States and local educational agencies to 
     reform and improve the quality of education throughout the 
     Nation. Such grants shall be used to--
       ``(1) develop innovative educational reform plans, which 
     include State achievement goals, a means for developing or 
     adopting high quality, challenging curricular frameworks and 
     coordinated curricular materials, professional development 
     strategies, and assessment instruments; and
       ``(2) implement reforms and plans to improve the education 
     system at the State and local levels.

     ``SEC. 8005. APPLICATION.

       ``(a) In General.--If a State desires to receive assistance 
     under this title, the State educational agency shall submit 
     an application to the Secretary at such time, in such manner, 
     and accompanied by such additional information as the 
     Secretary may reasonably require. Such application shall 
     cover a 5-year period.
       ``(b) Consideration of Applications.--Each such application

     ``SEC. 9001. SHORT TITLE.

       ``This title may be cited as the ``Neighborhood Schools 
     Improvement Act''.

     ``SEC. 9002. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) all students can learn and must realize their 
     potential if the United States is to prosper;
       ``(2) the reforms in education of the last 15 years have 
     achieved good results, but these efforts often have been 
     limited to a few schools or to a single part of the 
     educational system;
       ``(3) additional pilot projects will have the same limited 
     effect as previous reforms and isolated changes in policy 
     will most likely have minimal impact;
       ``(4) strategies must be developed by States and 
     communities to support the revitalization of all local 
     schools by fundamentally changing the entire system of 
     education through comprehensive, coherent, and coordinated 
     improvement;
       ``(5) parents, teachers and other local educators, and 
     community leaders must be involved in developing system-wide 
     reform strategies that reflect the needs of their individual 
     communities;
       ``(6) States and local educational agencies, working 
     together, must immediately set about developing and 
     implementing such system-wide reform strategies if the Nation 
     is to educate all children to meet their full potential and 
     achieve national goals;
       ``(7) increasing funding for existing Federal education 
     programs at levels that will enable them to fulfill their 
     mission is a critical part of assisting States and local 
     educational agencies in their school improvement efforts; and
       ``(8) additional Federal funds should be targeted to 
     support State and local initiatives and to leverage State and 
     local resources for designing and implementing system-wide 
     reform plans.

     ``SEC. 9003. PURPOSE.

       ``The purpose of this title is to raise the quality of 
     education for all students by supporting a 10-year broad 
     based public effort to promote coherent and coordinated 
     changes in the system of education throughout the Nation at 
     the State and local level without jeopardizing funding for 
     existing Federal education programs.

     ``SEC. 9004. PROGRAM AUTHORIZED.

       ``The Secretary is authorized, in accordance with the 
     provisions of this title, to make grants to State educational

     Nation. Such grants shall be used to--

     coordinated curricular materials, professional development 
     strategies, and assessment instruments; and

     the amendment to such application meets the requirements of 
     this section and is of sufficient quality to meet the 
     objectives of this title. The Secretary shall not finally 
     disapprove an application or an amendment to such application 
     except after giving reasonable notice, technical assistance, 
     and an opportunity for a hearing.
       ``(d) Reapplication.--(1) A State educational agency may 
     apply for assistance for a second 5-year period and such 
     application shall be approved by the Secretary if the State--

     citizens and in the workplace;

     not alter themselves radically;

     SECTION 101. COMPREHENSIVE RESTRUCTURING.

       The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 
     U.S.C. 2701 et seq.) is amended--

       ``(1) the establishment of voluntary national standards is 
     an important, complex, and sensitive task and any 
     coordinating structure for this purpose must be bipartisan, 
     engage government at all levels, and involve the many 
     constituencies that have an established interest in improving 
     education;
       ``(2) much work in the area of developing standards has 
     already begun and the national effort should benefit from and 
     not attempt to duplicate quality efforts proposed by existing 
     Federal and non-Federal entities; and
       ``(3) a coordinating structure should maintain the 
     tradition of State and local authority over education and 
     become part of a cooperative national effort.
       ``(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this part are--
       ``(1) to advance the establishment of voluntary national 
     education content standards and to raise the academic 
     performance of students and schools throughout the Nation; 
     and
       ``(2) to provide funds for the development of voluntary 
     national school delivery standards and for further research 
     and development on assessment to measure the progress of the 
     Nation in meeting national education goals and standards.

     ``SEC. 8003. NATIONAL EDUCATION GOALS PANEL.

       ``(a) Establishment.--There is established a National 
     Education Goals Panel (referred to in this part as the 
     `Panel').

       ``This part may be cited as the `Flexibility for 
     Educational Effectiveness Act of 1992'.

     ``SEC. 8202. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) schools face increasingly diverse populations of 
     disadvantaged students due to the influx of many immigrant 
     children, the growth in poverty among children, and changes 
     in the family structure;
       ``(2) schools are asked not only to educate such 
     increasingly diverse student populations, but to meet 
     disadvantaged students' needs for social, health, and 
     nutritional services;
       ``(3) Federal and State programs are available to assist in 
     educating and otherwise helping such students, but were 
     designed originally when it was easier to meet the needs 
     separately; and
       ``(4) a demonstration program that waives specific Federal 
     statutes and regulations is necessary to determine whether 
     education and other services can be provided in a more 
     coordinated manner so that teachers, principals, and other 
     school personnel can develop more flexible approaches to 
     improving

[[Page 1851]]

     the education, social, health, mental health, and nutrition 
     levels of disadvantaged children.
       ``(b) Purposes.--It is the purpose of this part to 
     demonstrate the effectiveness in several States and schools, 
     of granting waivers of Federal and State laws and regulations 
     so that services can be more effectively provided to 
     disadvantaged children.

     Departments of Education, Agriculture, Labor, and Health and 
     Human Services to facilitate demonstration projects that 
     waive certain requirements of Federal laws and regulations 
     administered by such departments.
       ``(b) Notification.--Not later than 60 days after the 
     establishment of the Committee under this section, such 
     Committee shall publish in the Federal Register a notice and 
     description of programs providing health, mental health, 
     social services, or substance abuse prevention and treatment

     of such programs with programs included in this part.
       ``(c) Duties.--The Committee shall review applications from 
     States for demonstration projects and approve applications of 
     not more than 15 States involving not more than 20 schools in

     associated with the teaching of values in elementary and 
     secondary schools and to stimulate research in ethics and 
     values;
       (2) to recommend to the President and to Congress how the 
     Federal Government, through executive action and legislation, 
     can promote the teaching of values in American schools, 
     including encouraging the offering of independent courses on 
     values, and the integration of values into existing courses;
       (3) to explore, assess, and stimulate a variety of 
     approaches to teaching values;
       (4) to identify civic and character values that are 
     supported by a consensus of the people of the United States 
     as essential to a complete education and preparation for 
     becoming productive members of society and that may be 
     appropriately endorsed and promoted by the Federal 
     Government; and
       (5) to identify the ways in which judgments of values and 
     of right and wrong are implicated in matters of public and 
     private concern.

     SEC. 603. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) many Americans of all economic and social levels, 
     religious persuasions, and ages, no longer make 
     determinations of right and wrong as to their own actions or 
     the actions of others in matters of both public and private 
     concern;
       (2) educational institutions, which have traditionally 
     played a role in assisting students to make such 
     determinations, no longer receive explicit authority or 
     proper assistance necessary to fulfill this responsibility;
       (3) the Nation has witnessed a national moral recession in 
     governmental and political activities, scientific research, 
     and business and commerce, in which individuals have failed 
     to consider the ethics governing their behavior;
       (4) statistics show alarming increases in individual and 
     gang violence, drug and substance abuse, and suicide among 
     both young people and adults;
       (5) polls show that Americans overwhelmingly prize values 
     such as honesty, but believe that people are less honest 
     today than in the past;
       (6) leaders representing a broad spectrum of political, 
     social, and religious beliefs believe that education in moral 
     issues contributes to good citizenship and have called for 
     strengthening the teaching of democratic values;
       (7) training in ethics is an ongoing concern in business 
     and industry and in public service; and
       (8) while education remains the responsibility of local and 
     State governments, the Congress and the Federal Government 
     may appropriately provide assistance to educational agencies 
     and institutions attempting to promote civic and character 
     values.

     SEC. 604. ESTABLISHMENT.

       There is established the Commission on Values Education (in 
     this title referred to as the ``Commission'').

     civility, importance of family, justice, equality, the rule 
     of law, individual rights, the common good, love of country, 
     love of knowledge, responsibility and accountability, 
     protection of oneself and others from degradation and abuse;
       (2) conduct interviews, meetings, hearings, and conferences

     out its purposes and duties; and
       (4) recognize individuals and institutions who have 
     demonstrated outstanding success in teaching values; and

     the incidence of problems such as those described in section 
     603(4).

bill.

Para. 101.21  energy efficiency

  On motion of Mr. SHARP, by unanimous consent, the bill (H.R. 776) to 
provide for improved energy efficiency; together with the amendment of 
the Senate thereto, was taken from the Speaker's table.
  When on motion of Mr. SHARP, it was,
  Resolved, That the House disagree to the amendment of the Senate and 
agree to the conference asked by the Senate on the disagreeing votes of 
the two Houses thereon.
  Ordered, That the Clerk notify the Senate thereof.

Para. 101.22  motion to instruct conferees--h.r. 776

  Mr. LENT moved that the managers on the part of the House at the 
conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on H.R. 776 be 
instructed to balance both energy conservation and energy efficiency 
with energy supply, achieve this goal in a manner consistent with 
environmental protection, and use market mechanisms and incentives 
rather than command-and-control regulations and government subsidies, 
within the scope of the conference.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. LENT, the previous question was ordered on the motion

  On motion of Mr. WILLIAMS, by unanimous consent, the Committee on 
Education and Labor was discharged from further consideration of the 
following concurrent resolution of the Senate (S. Con. Res. 81):

       Whereas visionary art is the art produced by self-taught 
     individuals who are driven by their own internal impulses to 
     create;
       Whereas the visionary artist's product is a striking 
     personal statement possessing a powerful and often spiritual 
     quality;
       Whereas prominent among the creators of visionary art are 
     the mentally ill, the disabled, and the elderly;
       Whereas there are many museums of visionary art located 
     throughout Europe such as the Art Brut Museum located in 
     Lausanne, Switzerland;
       Whereas the American Visionary Art Museum is the first 
     museum in North America to be wholly dedicated to assembling 
     a comprehensive national collection of American visionary 
     art;
       Whereas the collection at the American Visionary Art Museum 
     includes film, literature, and research on all fields related 
     to visionary art;
       Whereas the American Visionary Art Museum's mission is to 
     increase public awareness of uncommon art produced by 
     individuals in response to extraordinary circumstances;
       Whereas the American Visionary Art Museum seeks to remove 
     the stigma associated with disability by illuminating the 
     power of humans to triumph over adversity through creativity;
       Whereas the national policy of deinstitutionalization has 
     resulted in the closure of many facilities and the 
     destruction of visionary artwork;
       Whereas the American Visionary Art Museum has the support 
     of certain offices of the National Institute of Mental Health 
     and other government agencies in its goal to function as a 
     national repository for works produced by formerly 
     institutionalized individuals; and
       Whereas it is the best interest of the national welfare and 
     all American citizens to preserve visionary art and to 
     celebrate this unique art form: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives 
     concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) visionary art should be designated as a rare and 
     valuable national treasure to which we devote our attention, 
     support, and resources to make certain that it is collected, 
     preserved, and understood; and
       (2) the American Visionary Art Museum is the proper 
     national repository and educational center for visionary art.

       (1) there are major airports served by an air carrier that 
     has leased a substantial majority of the airport's gates;
       (2) the commerce in the region served by such a major 
     airport can be disrupted if the air carrier that leases most 
     of its gates enters bankruptcy and either discontinues or 
     materially reduces service; and
       (3) it is important that such airports be empowered to 
     continue service in the event of such a disruption.
       (b) Bankruptcy Rules Regarding Unexpired Leases.--Section 
     365(d) of title 11, United States Code, is amended by adding 
     at the end the following new paragraphs:
       ``(5) Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) and (4) of this 
     subsection, in a case under any chapter of this title, if the 
     trustee does not assume or reject an unexpired lease of 
     nonresidential real property under which the debtor is an 
     affected air carrier that is the lessee of an aircraft 
     terminal or aircraft gate before the occurrence of a 
     termination event, then (unless the court orders the trustee 
     to assume such unexpired leases within 5 days after the 
     termination event), at the option of the airport operator, 
     such lease is deemed rejected 5 days after the occurrence of 
     a termination event and the trustee shall immediately 
     surrender possession of the premises to the airport operator; 
     except that the lease shall not be deemed to be rejected 
     unless the airport operator first waives the right to damages 
     related to the rejection. In the event that the lease is 
     deemed to be rejected under this paragraph, the airport 
     operator shall provide the affected air carrier adequate 
     opportunity after the surrender of the premises to remove the 
     fixtures and equipment installed by the affected air carrier.
       ``(6) For the purpose of paragraph (5) of this subsection 
     and paragraph (f)(1) of this section, the occurrence of a 
     termination event means, with respect to a debtor which is an 
     affected air carrier that is the lessee of an aircraft 
     terminal or aircraft gate--
       ``(A) the entry under section 301 or 302 of this title of 
     an order for relief under chapter 7 of this title;
       ``(B) the conversion of a case under any chapter of this 
     title to a case under chapter 7 of this title; or
       ``(C) the granting of relief from the stay provided under 
     section 362(a) of this title with respect to aircraft, 
     aircraft engines, propellers, appliances, or spare parts, as 
     defined in section 101 of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 
     (49 App. U.S.C. 1301), except for property of the debtor 
     found by the court not to be necessary to an effective 
     reorganization.
       ``(7) Any order entered by the court pursuant to paragraph 
     (4) extending the period within which the trustee of an 
     affected air carrier must assume or reject an unexpired lease 
     of nonresidential real property shall be without prejudice 
     to--
       ``(A) the right of the trustee to seek further extensions 
     within such additional time period granted by the court 
     pursuant to paragraph (4); and
       ``(B) the right of any lessor or any other party in 
     interest to request, at any time, a shortening or termination 
     of the period within which the trustee must assume or reject 
     an unexpired lease of nonresidential real property.
       ``(8) The burden of proof for establishing cause for an 
     extension by an affected air carrier under paragraph (4) or 
     the maintenance of a previously granted extension under 
     paragraph (7)(A) and (B) shall at all times remain with the 
     trustee.
       ``(9) For purposes of determining cause under paragraph (7) 
     with respect to an unexpired lease of nonresidential real 
     property between the debtor that is an affected air carrier 
     and an airport operator under which such debtor is the lessee 
     of an airport terminal or an airport gate, the court shall 
     consider, among other relevant factors, whether substantial 
     harm will result to the airport operator or airline 
     passengers as a result of the extension or the maintenance of 
     a previously granted extension. In making the determination 
     of substantial harm, the court shall consider, among other 
     relevant factors, the level of actual use of the terminals or 
     gates which are the subject of the lease, the public interest 
     in actual use of such terminals or gates, the existence of 
     competing demands for the use of such terminals or gates, the 
     effect of the court's extension or termination of the period 
     of time to assume or reject the lease on such debtor's 
     ability to successfully reorganize under chapter 11 of this 
     title, and whether the trustee of the affected air carrier is 
     capable of continuing to comply with its obligations under 
     section 365(d)(3) of this title.''.
       (c) Partial Assignments or Assumptions of Leases.--Section 
     365(c) of title 11, United States Code, is amended--
       (1) by striking ``or'' at the end of paragraph (2);
       (2) by striking the period at the end of paragraph (3) and 
     inserting in lieu thereof ``; or''; and
       (3) by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
       ``(4) such lease is of nonresidential real property under 
     which the debtor is the lessee of an aircraft terminal or 
     aircraft gate at an airport at which the debtor is the lessee 
     under one or more additional nonresidential leases of an 
     aircraft terminal or aircraft gate and the trustee, in 
     connection with such assumption or assignment, does not 
     assume all such leases or does not assume and assign all of 
     such leases to the same person, except that the trustee may 
     assume or assign less

[[Page 1865]]

     than all of such leases with the airport operator's written 
     consent.''.
       (d) Prohibition of Lease Assignments After Termination 
     Event.--Section 365(f)(1) of title 11, United States Code, is 
     amended by striking the period at the end and inserting in 
     lieu thereof the following: ``; except that the trustee may 
     not assign an unexpired lease of nonresidential real property 
     under which the debtor is an affected air carrier that is the 
     lessee of an aircraft terminal or aircraft gate if there has 
     occurred a termination event.''.
       (e) Affected Air Carrier Defined.--Section 365 of title 11, 
     United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the 
     following new subsection:

To the Congress of the United States:
  In accordance with the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management 
Act of 1976 (Public Law 94-265; 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), I transmit 
herewith an Agreement between the Government of the United States of 
America and the Government of the People's Republic of China Amending 
and Extending the 1985 Agreement Concerning Fisheries off the Coasts of 
the United States, as amended, which was effected by exchange of notes 
at Washington May 12 and July 16, 1992, copies of which are attached. 
This agreement extends the 1985 agreement for an additional 2-year 
period, until July 1, 1994, and further amends the agreement to 
incorporate the latest changes in U.S. laws. The exchange of notes 
together with the present agreement constitute a governing international 
fishery agreement within the meaning of section 201(c) of the Act.
  Because of the importance of our fisheries relations with the People's 
Republic of China, I urge that the Congress give favorable consideration 
to this agreement.
                                                          George Bush.  
                                    The White House, September 9, 1992. 

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, laid before the House a message 
from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  In accordance with the District of Columbia Self-Government and 
Governmental Reorganization Act, I am transmitting the District of 
Columbia Government's 1993 Budget amendment request.
  The District of Columbia Government has submitted a request to 
increase its FY 1993 capital authority by $60 million and to reprogram 
$20 million of capital authority from an existing project. The requested 
increase in authority is needed to fund the District's share of the 
remaining 13.5 miles of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit 
Authority Metrorail system in accordance with the construction schedule 
adopted in the Fifth Interim Capital Contributions Agreement.
                                                          George Bush.

Para. 102.24  message from the president--u.s.-ireland social security 
          agreement

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, laid before the House a message 
from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  Pursuant to section 233(e)(1) of the Social Security Act, as amended 
by the Social Security Amendments of 1977 (Public Law 95-216, 42 U.S.C. 
433(e)(1)), I transmit herewith the Agreement between the United States 
of America and Ireland on Social Security, which consists of two 
separate instruments: a principal agreement and an administrative 
arrangement. The agreement was signed at Washington on April 14, 1992.
  The United States-Ireland agreement contains all provisions mandated 
by section 233 and other provisions that I deem appropriate to carry out 
the provisions of section 233, pursuant to section 233(c)(4). It is 
similar in objective to the social security agreements already in force 
with Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, 
Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. 
Such bilateral agreements provide for limited coordination between the 
United States and foreign social security systems to eliminate dual 
social security coverage and taxation, and to help prevent the loss of 
benefit protection that can occur when workers divide their careers 
between two countries.
  I also transmit for the information of the Congress a report prepared 
by the Department of Health and Human Services explaining the key points 
of the agreement, along with a paragraph-by-paragraph explanation of the 
provisions of the principal agreement and the related administrative 
arrangement. Annexed to this report is the report required by section 
233(e)(1) of the Social Security Act on the effect of the agreement on 
income and expenditures of the U.S. Social Security program and the 
number of individuals affected by the agreement. The Department of 
Health and Human Services has recommended the agreement and related 
documents to me.
  I commend the United States-Ireland Social Security Agreement and 
related documents.
                                                          George Bush.  
                                    The White House, September 9, 1992. 

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means and ordered to 
be printed (H. Doc. 102-384).

Sec. 501. Leave for certain Senate employees.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) the number of single-parent households and two-parent 
     households in which the single parent or both parents work is 
     increasing significantly;
       (2) it is important for the development of children and the 
     family unit that fathers and mothers be able to participate 
     in early childrearing and the care of family members who have 
     serious health conditions;
       (3) the lack of employment policies to accommodate working 
     parents can force individuals to choose between job security 
     and parenting;
       (4) there is inadequate job security for employees who have 
     serious health conditions that prevent them from working for 
     temporary periods;
       (5) due to the nature of the roles of men and women in our 
     society, the primary responsibility for family caretaking 
     often falls on women, and such responsibility affects the 
     working lives of women more than it affects the working lives 
     of men; and
       (6) employment standards that apply to one gender only have 
     serious potential for encouraging employers to discriminate 
     against employees and applicants for employment who are of 
     that gender.
       (b) Purposes.--It is the purpose of this Act--
       (1) to balance the demands of the workplace with the needs 
     of families, to promote the stability and economic security 
     of families, and to promote national interests in preserving 
     family integrity;
       (2) to entitle employees to take reasonable leave for 
     medical reasons, for the birth or adoption of a child, and 
     for the care of a child, spouse, or parent who has a serious 
     health condition;
       (3) to accomplish the purposes described in paragraphs (1) 
     and (2) in a manner that accommodates the legitimate 
     interests of employers;
       (4) to accomplish the purposes described in paragraphs (1) 
     and (2) in a manner that, consistent with the Equal 
     Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, minimizes the 
     potential for employment discrimination on the basis of sex 
     by ensuring generally that leave is available for eligible 
     medical reasons (including maternity-related disability) and 
     for compelling family reasons, on a gender-neutral basis; and
       (5) to promote the goal of equal employment opportunity for 
     women and men, pursuant to such clause.

     SEC. 102. LEAVE REQUIREMENT.

       (a) In General.--
       (1) Entitlement to leave.--Subject to section 103, an 
     eligible employee shall be entitled to a total of 12 
     workweeks of leave during any 12-month period for one or more 
     of the following:
       (A) Because of the birth of a son or daughter of the 
     employee and in order to care for such son or daughter.
       (B) Because of the placement of a son or daughter with the 
     employee for adoption or foster care.
       (C) In order to care for the spouse, or a son, daughter, or 
     parent, of the employee, if such spouse, son, daughter, or 
     parent has a serious health condition.
       (D) Because of a serious health condition that makes the 
     employee unable to perform the functions of the position of 
     such employee.
       (2) Expiration of entitlement.--The entitlement to leave 
     under subparagraphs (A) and (B) of paragraph (1) for a birth 
     or placement of a son or daughter shall expire at the end of 
     the 12-month period beginning on the date of such birth or 
     placement.
       (3) Intermittent leave.--
       (A) In general.--Leave under subparagraph (A) or (B) of 
     paragraph (1) shall not be taken by an employee 
     intermittently unless the employee and the employer of the 
     employee agree otherwise. Subject to subparagraph (B), 
     subsection (e), and section 103(b)(5), leave under 
     subparagraph (C) or (D) of paragraph (1) may be taken 
     intermittently when medically necessary.
       (B) Alternative position.--If an employee requests 
     intermittent leave under subparagraph (C) or (D) of paragraph 
     (1) that is foreseeable based on planned medical treatment, 
     the employer may require such employee to transfer 
     temporarily to an available alternative position offered by 
     the employer for which the employee is qualified and that--
       (i) has equivalent pay and benefits; and
       (ii) better accommodates recurring periods of leave than 
     the regular employment position of the employee.
       (b) Reduced Leave.--On agreement between the employer and 
     the employee, leave under subsection (a) may be taken on a 
     reduced leave schedule. Such reduced leave schedule shall not 
     result in a reduction in the total amount of leave to which 
     the employee is entitled under subsection (a).
       (c) Unpaid Leave Permitted.--Except as provided in 
     subsection (d), leave granted under subsection (a) may 
     consist of unpaid leave.
       (d) Relationship to Paid Leave.--
       (1) Unpaid leave.--If an employer provides paid leave for 
     fewer than 12 workweeks, the additional weeks of leave 
     necessary to attain the 12 workweeks of leave required under 
     this title may be provided without compensation.
       (2) Substitution of paid leave.--
       (A) In general.--An eligible employee may elect, or an 
     employer may require the employee, to substitute any of the 
     accrued paid vacation leave, personal leave, or family leave 
     of the employee for leave provided under subparagraph (A),

     period of such leave under such subsection.
       (B) Serious health condition.--An eligible employee may 
     elect, or an employer may require the employee, to substitute 
     any of the accrued paid vacation leave, personal leave, or 
     medical or sick leave of the employee for leave provided 
     under subparagraph (C) or (D) of subsection (a)(1) for any 
     part of the 12-week period of such leave under such 
     subsection, except that nothing in this Act shall require an 
     employer to provide paid sick leave or paid medical leave in 
     any situation in which such employer would not normally 
     provide any such paid leave.
       (e) Foreseeable Leave.--
       (1) Requirement of notice.--In any case in which the 
     necessity for leave under subparagraph (A) or (B) of 
     subsection (a)(1) is foreseeable based on an expected birth 
     or adoption, the employee shall provide the employer with not 
     less than 30 days notice, before the date the leave is to 
     begin, of the employee's intention to take leave under such 
     subparagraph, except that if the date of the birth or 
     adoption requires leave to begin in less than 30 days, the 
     employee shall provide such notice as is practicable.
       (2) Duties of employee.--In any case in which the necessity 
     for leave under subparagraph (C) or (D) of subsection (a)(1) 
     is foreseeable based on planned medical treatment, the 
     employee--
       (A) shall make a reasonable effort to schedule the 
     treatment so as not to disrupt unduly the operations of the 
     employer, subject to the approval of the health care provider 
     of the employee or the health care provider of the son, 
     daughter, spouse, or parent of the employee; and
       (B) shall provide the employer with not less than 30 days 
     notice, before the date the leave is to begin, of the 
     employee's intention to take leave under such subparagraph, 
     except that if the date of the treatment requires leave to 
     begin in less than 30 days, the employee shall provide such 
     notice as is practicable.
       (f) Spouses Employed by the Same Employer.--In any case in 
     which a husband and wife entitled to leave under subsection 
     (a) are employed by the same employer, the aggregate number 
     of workweeks of leave to which both may be entitled may be 
     limited to 12 workweeks during any 12-month period, if such 
     leave is taken--
       (1) under subparagraph (A) or (B) of subsection (a)(1); or
       (2) to care for a sick parent under subparagraph (C) of 
     such subsection.

     SEC. 103. CERTIFICATION.

       (a) In General.--An employer may require that a request for 
     leave under subparagraph (C) or (D) of section 102(a)(1) be 
     supported by a certification issued by the health care 
     provider of the eligible employee or of the son, daughter, 
     spouse, or parent of the employee, as appropriate. The 
     employee shall provide, in a timely manner, a copy of such 
     certification to the employer.
       (b) Sufficient Certification.--Certification provided under 
     subsection (a) shall be sufficient if it states--
       (1) the date on which the serious health condition 
     commenced;
       (2) the probable duration of the condition;
       (3) the appropriate medical facts within the knowledge of 
     the health care provider regarding the condition;
       (4)(A) for purposes of leave under section 102(a)(1)(C), a 
     statement that the eligible employee is needed to care for 
     the son, daughter, spouse, or parent and an estimate of the 
     amount of time that such employee is needed to care for the 
     son, daughter, spouse, or parent; and
       (B) for purposes of leave under section 102(a)(1)(D), a 
     statement that the employee is unable to perform the 
     functions of the position of the employee; and

[[Page 1891]]

       (5) in the case of certification for intermittent leave for 
     planned medical treatment, the dates on which such treatment 
     is expected to be given and the duration of such treatment.
       (c) Second Opinion.--
       (1) In general.--In any case in which the employer has 
     reason to doubt the validity of the certification provided 
     under subsection (a) for leave under subparagraph (C) or (D) 
     of section 102(a)(1), the employer may require, at the 
     expense of the employer, that the eligible employee obtain 
     the opinion of a second health care provider designated or 
     approved by the employer concerning any information certified 
     under subsection (b) for such leave.
       (2) Limitation.--A health care provider designated or 
     approved under paragraph (1) shall not be employed on a 
     regular basis by the employer.
       (d) Resolution of Conflicting Opinions.--
       (1) In general.--In any case in which the second opinion 
     described in subsection (c) differs from the opinion in the 
     original certification provided under subsection (a), the 
     employer may require, at the expense of the employer, that 
     the employee obtain the opinion of a third health care 
     provider designated or approved jointly by the employer and 
     the employee concerning the information certified under 
     subsection (b).
       (2) Finality.--The opinion of the third health care 
     provider concerning the information certified under 
     subsection (b) shall be considered to be final and shall be 
     binding on the employer and the employee.
       (e) Subsequent Recertification.--The employer may require 
     that the eligible employee obtain subsequent recertifications 
     on a reasonable basis.

     SEC. 104. EMPLOYMENT AND BENEFITS PROTECTION.

       (a) Restoration to Position.--
       (1) In general.--Any eligible employee who takes leave 
     under section 102 for the intended purpose of the leave shall 
     be entitled, on return from such leave--
       (A) to be restored by the employer to the position of 
     employment held by the employee when the leave commenced; or
       (B) to be restored to an equivalent position with 
     equivalent employment benefits, pay, and other terms and 
     conditions of employment.
       (2) Loss of benefits.--The taking of leave under section 
     102 shall not result in the loss of any employment benefit 
     accrued prior to the date on which the leave commenced.
       (3) Limitations.--Nothing in this section shall be 
     construed to entitle any restored employee to--
       (A) the accrual of any seniority or employment benefits 
     during any period of leave; or
       (B) any right, benefit, or position of employment other 
     than any right, benefit, or position to which the employee 
     would have been entitled had the employee not taken the 
     leave.
       (4) Certification.--As a condition of restoration under 
     paragraph (1), the employer may have a uniformly applied 
     practice or policy that requires each employee to receive 
     certification from the health care provider of the employee 
     that the employee is able to resume work, except that nothing 
     in this paragraph shall supersede a valid State or local law 
     or a collective bargaining agreement that governs the return 
     to work of employees taking leave under section 102(a)(1)(D).
       (5) Construction.--Nothing in this subsection shall be 
     construed to prohibit an employer from requiring an employee 
     on leave under section 102 to report periodically to the 
     employer on the status and intention of the employee to 
     return to work.
       (b) Exemption Concerning Certain Highly Compensated 
     Employees.--
       (1) Denial of restoration.--An employer may deny 
     restoration under subsection (a) to any eligible employee 
     described in paragraph (2) if--
       (A) such denial is necessary to prevent substantial and 
     grievous economic injury to the operations of the employer;
       (B) the employer notifies the employee of the intent of the 
     employer to deny restoration on such basis at the time the 
     employer determines that such injury would occur; and
       (C) in any case in which the leave has commenced, the 
     employee elects not to return to employment after receiving 
     such notice.
       (2) Affected employees.--An eligible employee described in 
     paragraph (1) is a salaried eligible employee who is among 
     the highest paid 10 percent of the employees employed by the 
     employer within 75 miles of the facility at which the 
     employee is employed.
       (c) Maintenance of Health Benefits.--
       (1) Coverage.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), during 
     any period that an eligible employee takes leave under 
     section 102, the employer shall maintain coverage under any 
     ``group health plan'' (as defined in section 5000(b)(1) of 
     the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) for the duration of such 
     leave at the level and under the conditions coverage would 
     have been provided if the employee had continued in 
     employment continuously from the date the employee commenced 
     the leave until the date the employee is restored under 
     subsection (a).
       (2) Failure to return from leave.--The employer may recover 
     the premium that the employer paid for maintaining coverage 
     for the employee under such group health plan during any 
     period of unpaid leave under section 102 if--
       (A) the employee fails to return from leave under section 
     102 after the period of leave to which the employee is 
     entitled has expired; and
       (B) the employee fails to return to work for a reason other 
     than--
       (i) the continuation, recurrence, or onset of a serious 
     health condition that entitles the employee to leave under 
     subparagraph (C) or (D) of section 102(a)(1); or
       (ii) other circumstances beyond the control of the 
     employee.
       (3) Certification.--
       (A) Issuance.--An employer may require that a claim that an 
     employee is unable to return to work because of the 
     continuation, recurrence, or onset of the serious health 
     condition described in paragraph (2)(B)(i) be supported by--
       (i) a certification issued by the health care provider of 
     the eligible employee, in the case of an employee unable to 
     return to work because of a condition specified in section 
     102(a)(1)(D); or
       (ii) a certification issued by the health care provider of 
     the son, daughter, spouse, or parent of the employee in the 
     case of an employee unable to return to work because of a 
     condition specified in section 102(a)(1)(C).
       (B) Copy.--The employee shall provide, in a timely manner, 
     a copy of such certification to the employer.
       (C) Sufficiency of certification.--
       (i) Leave due to serious health condition of employee.--The 
     certification described in subparagraph (A)(i) shall be 
     sufficient if the certification states that a serious health 
     condition prevented the employee from being able to perform 
     the functions of the position of the employee on the date 
     that the leave of the employee expired.
       (ii) Leave due to serious health condition of family 
     member.--The certification described in subparagraph (A)(ii) 
     shall be sufficient if the certification states that the 
     employee is needed to care for the son, daughter, spouse, or 
     parent who has a serious health condition on the date that 
     the leave of the employee expired.

[[Page 1892]]

     omission which violated section 105 was in good faith and 
     that the employer had reasonable grounds for believing that 
     the act or omission was not a violation of section 105, such 
     court may, in the discretion of the court, reduce the amount

     794), or title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 
     2000d et seq.), solely as a result of an eligible employee of 
     such agency or school exercising the rights of such employee 
     under this Act.
       (c) Intermittent Leave for Instructional Employees.--
       (1) In general.--Subject to paragraph (2), in any case in

     school requests leave under subparagraph (C) or (D) of 
     section 102(a)(1) that is foreseeable based on planned 
     medical treatment and the employee would be on leave for 
     greater than 20 percent of the total number of working days 
     in the period during which the leave would extend, the agency 
     or school may require that such employee elect either--
       (A) to take leave for periods of a particular duration, not 
     to exceed the duration of the planned medical treatment; or
       (B) to transfer temporarily to an available alternative 
     position offered by the employer for which the employee is 
     qualified, and that--

     the regular employment position of the employee.
       (2) Application.--The elections described in subparagraphs

     an eligible employee who complies with section 102(e)(2).

       (1) Leave more than 5 weeks prior to end of term.--If the 
     eligible employee begins leave under section 102 more than 5 
     weeks prior to the end of the academic term, the agency or

     eligible employee begins leave under subparagraph (A), (B), 
     or (C) of section 102(a)(1) during the period that commences 
     5 weeks prior to the end of the academic term, the agency or 
     school may require the employee to continue taking leave 
     until the end of such term, if--
       (A) the leave is of greater than 2 weeks duration; and
       (B) the return to employment would occur during the 2-week 
     period before the end of such term.

     purposes of determinations under section 104(a)(1)(B) 
     (relating to the restoration of an eligible employee to an 
     equivalent position), in the case of a local educational 
     agency or a private elementary and secondary school, such 
     determination shall be made on the basis of established 
     school board policies and practices, private school policies 
     and practices, and collective bargaining agreements.
       (f) Reduction of the Amount of Liability.--If a local 
     educational agency or a private elementary and secondary

     SECTION 1. MINING CLAIMS ON STOCK RAISING HOMESTEAD ACT 
                   LANDS.

       (a) Mineral Entry Under the Stock Raising Homestead Act.--
     Section 9 of the Act of December 29, 1916, entitled ``An act 
     to provide for stock-raising homesteads, and for other 
     purposes (43 U.S.C. 299) is amended by adding the following 
     at the end thereof:
       ``(b) Exploration; Location of Mining Claims; Notices.--
       ``(1) In general.--(A) Notwithstanding subsection (a) and 
     any other provision of law to the contrary, after the 
     effective date of this subsection no person other than the 
     surface owner may enter lands subject to this Act to explore 
     for, or to locate, a mining claim on such lands without--
       ``(i) filing a notice of intention to locate a mining claim 
     pursuant to paragraph (2); and
       ``(ii) providing notice to the surface owner pursuant to 
     paragraph (3).
       ``(B) Any person who has complied with the requirements 
     referred to in subparagraph (A) may, during the authorized 
     exploration period, in order to locate a mining claim, enter 
     lands subject to this Act to undertake mineral activities 
     related to exploration that cause no more than a negligible 
     disturbance of surface resources and do not involve the use 
     of mechanized equipment, explosives, the construction of 
     roads, drill pads, or the use or toxic or hazardous 
     materials.
       ``(C) The authorized exploration period referred to in 
     subparagraph (B) shall begin 30 days after notice is provided 
     under paragraph (3) with respect to lands subject to such 
     notice and shall end with the expiration of the 60-day period 
     referred to in paragraph (2)(A) or any extension provided 
     under paragraph (2)(B).
       ``(2) Notice of intention to locate a mining claim.--Any 
     person seeking to locate a mining claim on lands subject to 
     this Act in order to engage in the mineral activities 
     relating to exploration referred to under paragraph (1)(B) 
     may file with the Secretary of the Interior a notice of 
     intention to locate a claim on the lands concerned. The 
     notice shall be in such form as the Secretary shall 
     prescribe. The notice shall contain the name and mailing 
     address of the person filing the notice and a legal 
     description of the lands to which the notice applies. The 
     legal description shall be based on the public land survey or 
     on such other description as is sufficient to permit the 
     Secretary to record the notice on his land status records. 
     Whenever any person has filed a notice under this 
     subparagraph with respect to any lands, during the 60-day 
     period following the date of such filing, no other person 
     (including the surface owner) may--
       ``(A) file such a notice with respect to any portions of 
     such lands;
       ``(B) explore for minerals or locate a mining claim on any 
     portion of such lands; or
       ``(C) acquire any interest in any portion of such lands 
     pursuant to section 209 of the Federal Land Policy and 
     Management Act of 1977 (43 U.S.C. 1719).
       ``(3) Notice to surface owner.--Any person who has filed a 
     notice of intention to locate a mining claim under paragraph 
     (2) for any lands subject to this Act shall provide written 
     notice of such filing by registered or certified mail with 
     return receipt to the surface owner (as evidenced by local 
     tax records) of the lands covered by the notice under 
     paragraph (2). Possession of the return receipt signed by the 
     surface owner shall be necessary prior to entering such 
     lands. The notice shall be provided at least 30 days before 
     entering such lands and shall contain each of the following:
       ``(A) A brief description of the proposed mineral 
     activities.
       ``(B) A map and legal description of the lands to be 
     subject to mineral exploration.
       ``(C) The name, address and phone number of the person 
     managing such activities.
       ``(D) A statement of the dates on which such activities 
     will take place.
       ``(4) Acreage limitations.--The total acreage covered at 
     any time by notices of intention to locate a mining claim 
     under paragraph (2) filed by any person and by affiliates of 
     such person may not exceed 6,400 acres of lands subject to 
     this Act in any one State and 160 acres or one-tenth of any 
     contiguous parcel of land, whichever is greater (except that 
     in no instance shall the total acreage exceed 640 acres), for 
     a single surface owner. For purposes of this paragraph, the 
     term `affiliate' means, with respect to any person, any other 
     person which controls, is controlled by, or is under common 
     control with, such person.
       ``(c) Consent.--Notwithstanding subsection (a) and any 
     other provision of law, after the effective date of this 
     subsection no person may engage in the conduct of mineral 
     activities (other than those relating to exploration referred 
     to in subsection (b)(1)B)) on a mining claim located on lands 
     subject to this Act without the written consent of the 
     surface owner thereof unless the Secretary has authorized the 
     conduct of such activities under subsection (d).
       ``(d) Authorized Mineral Activities.--The Secretary may 
     authorize a person to conduct mineral activities (other than 
     those relating to exploration referred to in subsection 
     (b)(1)(B)) on lands subject to this Act without the consent 
     of the surface owner thereof if such person complies with the 
     requirements of subsections (e) and (f).
       ``(e) Bond.--(1) Before the Secretary may authorize any 
     person to conduct mineral activities the Secretary shall 
     require such person to post a bond or other financial 
     guarantee in an amount to insure the completion of 
     reclamation satisfying the requirements of this subsection 
     and subsection (h). The bond or other financial guarantee 
     shall be held for the duration of the mineral activities and 
     for an additional period to cover the responsibility of the 
     person conducting such mineral activities for revegetation 
     under subsection (h)(6). Such bond or other financial 
     guarantee shall also insure--
       ``(A) payment to the surface owner, after the completion of 
     such mineral activities and reclamation, compensation for any 
     permanent damages to crops and tangible improvements of the 
     surface owner that resulted from mineral activities; and
       ``(B) payment to the surface owner of compensation for any 
     permanent loss of income of the surface owner due to loss or 
     impairment of grazing, or other uses of the land by the 
     surface owner to the extent that reclamation required by the 
     plan of operations would not permit such uses to continue at 
     the level existing prior to the commencement of mineral 
     activities.
       ``(2) In determining the bond amount to cover permanent 
     loss of income under paragraph (1)(B), the Secretary shall 
     consider, where appropriate, the potential loss of value due 
     to the estimated permanent reduction in utilization of the 
     land.
       ``(f) Plan of Operations.--(1) Before the Secretary may 
     authorize any person to conduct mineral activities on lands 
     subject this Act, the Secretary shall require such person to 
     submit a plan of operations. The Secretary shall require that 
     mineral activities and reclamation under such plan be 
     conducted in such a way so as to minimize adverse impacts to 
     the environment. A plan under this subsection shall also 
     include procedures for--
       ``(A) the minimization of damages to crops and tangible 
     improvements of the surface owner;
       ``(B) the minimization of disruption to grazing or other 
     uses of the land by the surface owner; and
       ``(C) payment of a fee equivalent to the loss of income to 
     the ranch operation as established pursuant to subsection 
     (g).
       ``(2) The Secretary shall provide a copy of the proposal 
     plan of operations to the surface owner at least 60 days 
     prior to the date the Secretary makes a determination as to 
     whether such plan complies with the requirements of this 
     subsection. During such 60-day period the surface owner may 
     submit comments and recommend modifications to the proposed 
     plan of operations to the Secretary.
       ``(3) The Secretary may approve, require modifications to, 
     or deny a proposed plan of operations. To approve a plan of 
     operations, the Secretary shall make each of the following 
     determinations:
       ``(A) The proposed plan of operations is complete and 
     accurate.
       ``(B) The person submitting the proposed plan of operations 
     has demonstrated that reclamation as required under 
     subsection (h) can be accomplished under the plan and would 
     have a high probability of success based on an analysis of 
     such reclamation measures in areas of similar geochemistry, 
     topography and hydrology.
       ``(C) The person submitting the proposed plan of operations 
     has demonstrated that all other applicable Federal and State 
     requirements have been met.
       ``(4) Final approval of a plan of operations under this 
     subsection shall be conditioned upon compliance with 
     subsections (e) and (g).
       ``(g) Fee.--The fee referred to in subsection (f)(2) shall 
     be--
       ``(1) paid to the surface owner by the person submitting 
     the plan of operations;
       ``(2) paid in advance of any mineral activities or at such 
     other time or times as may be agreed to by the surface owner 
     and the person conducting such activities; and
       ``(3) established by the Secretary taking into account the 
     acreage involved and the degree of potential disruption to 
     existing surface uses (including the loss of income to

[[Page 1924]]

     the surface owner and such surface owner's operations due to 
     the loss or impairment of existing surface uses for the 
     duration of the mineral activities).
       ``(h) Reclamation.--Except as provided under paragraphs (5) 
     and (7), lands affected by mineral activities under a plan of 
     operations approved pursuant to subsection (f)(3) shall be 
     reclaimed to a condition capable of supporting the uses to 
     which such lands were capable of supporting prior to surface 
     disturbance. Except as provided under paragraphs (5) and (7), 
     the surface area disturbed by mineral activities shall be 
     backfilled, graded and contoured to its natural topography. 
     Reclamation shall proceed as contemporaneously as practicable 
     with the conduct of mineral activities. For the purposes of 
     such reclamation, the Secretary shall establish reclamation 
     standards which shall include, but not necessarily be limited 
     to, provisions to require each of the following; except that 
     any such standard may be modified only with the consent of 
     the surface owner as part of an approved plan of operations:
       ``(1) Topsoil.--(A) Topsoil removed from lands affected by 
     mineral activities shall be segregated from other spoil 
     material and protected for later use in reclamation. If such 
     topsoil is not replaced on a backfill area within a time-
     frame short enough to avoid deterioration of the topsoil, 
     vegetative cover or other means shall be used so that the 
     topsoil is preserved from wind and water erosion, remains 
     free of any contamination by acid or other toxic material, 
     and is in a useable condition for sustaining vegetation when 
     restored during reclamation.
       ``(B) In the event the topsoil from lands affected by 
     mineral activities is of insufficient quantity or of inferior 
     quality for sustaining vegetation, and other suitable growth 
     media removed from the lands affected by the mineral 
     activities are available that shall support vegetation, the 
     best available growth medium shall be removed, segregated and 
     preserved in a like manner as under subparagraph (A) for 
     sustaining vegetation when restored during reclamation.
       ``(2) Stabilization.--All surface areas affected by mineral 
     activities, including spoil material piles, waste material 
     piles, ore piles, subgrade ore piles, and open or partially 
     backfilled mine pits which meet the requirements of paragraph 
     (5) shall be stabilized and protected during mineral 
     activities and reclamation so as to effectively control 
     erosion and minimize attendant air and water pollution.
       ``(3) Erosion.--Facilities such as but not limited to 
     basins, ditches, streambank stabilization, diversions or 
     other measures, shall be designed, constructed and maintained 
     where necessary to control erosion and drainage of the area 
     affected by mineral activities including spoil material piles 
     and waste material piles prior to the use of such material to 
     comply with the requirements of this subsection, and for the 
     purposes of paragraph (7), and including ore piles and 
     subgrade ore piles.
       ``(4) Hydrologic Balance.--(A) Mineral activities shall be 
     conducted to minimize disturbances to the prevailing 
     hydrologic balance of the area subject to mineral activities 
     and adjacent areas and to the quality and quantity of water 
     in surface and ground water systems in the area subject to 
     mineral activities and adjacent areas.
       ``(B) Mineral activities shall, to the extent possible, 
     prevent the generation of acid or toxic drainage during the 
     mineral activities and reclamation; and the operator shall 
     prevent the contamination of surface and ground water with 
     acid or other toxic mine drainage and shall prevent or remove 
     water from contact with acid or toxic producing deposits.
       ``(C) Mineral activities shall be conducted to prevent, to 
     the extent possible, disruption to streamflow, or runoff 
     outside the area covered by the plan of operations, and in no 
     event shall be in excess of requirements set by applicable 
     State or Federal law.
       ``(D) Reclamation shall, to the extent possible, also 
     include restoration of the recharge capacity of the area 
     subject to mineral activities to approximate premining 
     condition; except that where surface or underground water 
     sources used for domestic or agricultural use have been 
     diminished, contaminated or interrupted as a proximate result 
     of mineral activities, such water resource shall be restored 
     or replaced.
       ``(5) Pit Backfilling/Grading Variance.--(A) The 
     requirement to backfill, grade and contour land to its 
     natural topography shall not apply with respect to an open 
     mine pit if the Secretary finds that such open pit or 
     partially backfilled pit would not pose a threat to the 
     public health or safety or have an adverse effect on the 
     environment in terms of surface or ground water pollution.
       ``(B) In instances where complete backfilling of an open 
     pit is not required, the pit shall be graded to blend with 
     the surrounding topography as much as practicable and 
     revegetated in accordance with paragraph (6).
       ``(6) Revegetation.--(A) Except in such instances where the 
     complete backfill of an open mine pit is not required under 
     paragraph (5), the area affected by mineral activities, 
     including any excess spoil material pile and excess waste 
     pile, shall be revegetated in order to establish a diverse, 
     effective and permanent vegetative cover of the same seasonal 
     variety native to the area affected by mineral activities, 
     capable of self-regeneration and plant succession and at 
     least equal in extent of cover to the natural revegetation of 
     the surrounding area.
       ``(B) In order to insure compliance with subparagraph (A), 
     the period for determining successful revegetation shall be 
     for a period of 5 full years after the last year of augmented

       ``(7) Excess Spoil and Waste.--(A) Excess spoil material 
     and excess waste material shall be transported and placed in 
     approved areas, in a controlled manner in such a way so as to 
     assure long-term mass stability and to prevent mass movement. 
     In addition to the measures described under paragraph (3), 
     internal drainage systems shall be employed, as may be 
     required, to control erosion and drainage. The design of such 
     excess spoil material piles and excess waste material piles 
     shall be certified by a qualified professional engineer.
       ``(B) Excess spoil material piles and excess waste material 
     piles shall be graded and contoured to blend with the

     the environment.
       ``(9) Structures.--All buildings, structures or equipment 
     constructed, used or improved during the mineral activity 
     shall be removed, unless the Secretary determines that the 
     buildings, structures or equipment shall be of beneficial use 
     in accomplishing the post-mining uses or for environmental 
     monitoring.
       ``(i) State Law.--(1) Nothing in this Act shall be 
     construed as affecting any reclamation, bonding, inspection, 
     enforcement, air or water quality standard or requirement of 
     any State law or regulation which may be applicable to 
     mineral activities on lands subject to this Act to the extend 
     that such law or regulation is not inconsistent with this

     inspections of mineral activities under a plan of operations 
     approved under subsection (f) so as to ensure compliance with 
     the terms and conditions of such plan. The Secretary shall 
     establish a frequency of inspections for mineral activities 
     conducted under such an approved plan of operations, but in 
     no event shall such inspection frequency be less than one 
     complete inspection per calendar quarter.
       ``(2) Any surface owner of land subject to this Act has 
     reason to believe that they are or may be adversely affected 
     by mineral activities due to any violation of the terms and 
     conditions of a plan of operations approved under subsection 
     (f), such surface owner may request an inspection. The 
     Secretary shall determine within 10 days of the receipt of 
     the request whether the request states a reason to believe 
     that a violation exists, except in the event the surface 
     owners alleges and provides reason to believe that an 
     imminent danger, as provided in subsection (k)(2), exists the 
     10 day period shall be waived and the inspection conducted 
     immediately. When an inspection is conducted under this 
     paragraph, the Secretary shall notify the surface owner and 
     such surface owner shall be allowed to accompany the 
     inspector on the inspection.
       ``(k) Enforcement.--(1) If the Secretary or the authorized 
     representative of the Secretary determines, on the basis of 
     an inspection that the operator is in violation of the terms 
     and conditions of a plan of operations approved under 
     subsection (f), the Secretary or his authorized 
     representative shall issue a notice of violation to the 
     operator describing the violation and the corrective measures 
     to be taken. The Secretary or his authorized representative 
     shall provide such operator with a reasonable period of time 
     to abate the violation. If, upon the expiration of time 
     provided for such abatement, the Secretary or his authorized 
     representative finds that the violation has not been abated 
     he shall immediately order a cessation of all mineral 
     activities or the portion thereof relevant to the violation.
       ``(2) If the Secretary or his authorized representative 
     determines, on the basis of an inspection, that any condition 
     or practice exists with respect to mineral activities 
     conducted on lands subject to this Act, or that an operator 
     is in violation of the surface management requirements 
     established pursuant to this section, and such condition, 
     practice or violation is causing, or can reasonably be 
     expected to cause--
       ``(A) an imminent danger to the health or safety of the 
     surface owner of land subject to this Act, or
       ``(B) significant, imminent environmental harm to land, air 
     or water resources,
     the Secretary or his authorized representative shall 
     immediately order a cessation of such mineral activities or 
     the portion thereof causing such condition, practice or 
     violation.
       ``(3)(A) A cessation order by the Secretary or his 
     authorized representative pursuant to paragraphs (1) or (2) 
     shall remain in effect until the Secretary or his authorized 
     representative determines that the condition, practice or 
     violation has been abated, or until modified, vacated or 
     terminated by the Secretary or his authorized representative. 
     In any such order, the Secretary or his authorized 
     representative shall determine the

[[Page 1925]]

     steps necessary to abate the violation in the most 
     expeditious manner possible, and shall include the necessary 
     measures in the order. The Secretary shall require 
     appropriate financial assurances to insure that the abatement 
     obligations are met.
       ``(B) Any notice or order issued pursuant to paragraphs (1) 
     or (2) may be modified, vacated or terminated by the 
     Secretary or his authorized representative. An operator, or 
     person conducting mineral activities under section 201(b)(2), 
     issued any such notice or order shall be entitled to a 
     hearing on the record.
       ``(4) If, after 30 days of the date of the order referred 
     to in paragraph (3)(A), the required abatement has not 
     occurred the Secretary shall take such alternative 
     enforcement action against the responsible parties as will 
     most likely bring about abatement in the most expeditious 
     manner possible. Such alternative enforcement action shall 
     include, but is not necessarily limited to, seeking 
     appropriate injunctive relief to bring about abatement.
       ``(5) In the event an operator conducting mineral 
     activities under a plan of operations approved under 
     subsection (f) is unable to abate a violation or defaults on 
     the terms of the plan of operation the Secretary may cause 
     forfeiture of the bond or other financial guarantee for the 
     plan of operations to the extent necessary to ensure 
     abatement and reclamation.
       ``(l) Compliance.--The Secretary may request the Attorney 
     General to institute a civil action for relief, including a 
     permanent or temporary injunction or restraining order, in 
     the district court of the United States for the district in 
     which the mineral activities are located whenever an 
     operator: (A) violates, fails or refuses to comply with any 
     order issued by the Secretary under subsection (k); or (B) 
     interferes with, hinders or delays the Secretary in carrying 
     out an inspection under subsection (j). Such court shall have 
     jurisdiction to provide such relief as may be appropriate. 
     Any relief granted by the court to enforce an order under 
     clause (A) shall continue in effect until the completion or 
     final termination of all proceedings for administrative 
     review of such order, unless the district court granting such 
     relief sets it aside or modifies it.
       ``(m) Penalties.--(1) Any operator who fails to comply with 
     the terms and conditions of a plan of operations approved 
     under subsection (f) shall be liable for a penalty of not 
     more than $5,000 per violation. Each day of continuing 
     violation may be deemed a separate violation for purposes of 
     penalty assessments. No civil penalty under this subsection 
     shall be assessed until the operator charged with the 
     violation has been given the opportunity for a hearing.
       ``(2) An operator who fails to correct a violation for 
     which a cessation order has been issued under subsection (k) 
     within the period permitted for its correction shall be 
     assessed a civil penalty of not less than $1,000 per 
     violation for each day during which such failure continues, 
     but in no event shall such assessment exceed a 30-day period.
       ``(n) Damages for Failure To Comply.--(1) Whenever the 
     surface owner of any land subject to this Act has suffered 
     any permanent damages to crops or tangible improvements of 
     the surface owner, or any permanent loss of income due to 
     loss or impairment of grazing, or other uses of the land by 
     the surface owner, the surface owner may bring an action in 
     the appropriate United States district court for treble 
     damages, and the court may award such damages if such damages 
     or loss results--
       ``(A) from any mineral activity undertaken without the 
     consent of the surface owner under subsection (c) or an 
     authorization by the Secretary under subsection (d); or
       ``(B) from the failure of a person conducting mineral 
     activities on lands subject to this Act approved under 
     subsection (f) to abate a violation under subsection (k).
       ``(2) The surface owner of any land subject to this Act may 
     also bring an action in the appropriate United States 
     district court for treble damages against any person 
     undertaking any mineral activities on lands subject to this 
     Act in violation of any requirement of subsection (b).
       ``(3) Treble damages awarded by the court under this 
     subsection shall be reduced by the amount of any compensation 
     which the surface owner has received (or is eligible to 
     receive) pursuant to the bond or financial guarantee required 
     under subsection (e).
       ``(o) Payment of Damages.--The surface owner of any land 
     subject to this Act may petition the Secretary for payment of 
     all or any portion of a bond or other financial guarantee 
     required under subsection (e) as compensation for any 
     permanent damages to crops and tangible improvements of the 
     surface owner, or any permanent or temporary loss of income 
     due to loss or impairment of grazing, or other uses of the 
     land by the surface owner. Pursuant to such a petition, the 
     Secretary may use such bond or other guarantee to provide 
     compensation to the surface owner for such damages and to 
     insure the required reclamation.
       ``(p) Bond Release.--The Secretary shall release the bond 
     or other financial guarantee required under subsection (e) 
     upon the successful completion of all requirements pursuant 
     to a plan of operations approved under subsection (f).
       ``(q) Conveyance to Surface Owner.--(1) The Secretary may 
     convey interests owned by the United States (including 
     mineral interests) in lands subject to this Act to the 
     surface owner pursuant to the provisions of section 209 of 
     the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 without 
     regard to the requirements contained in such provisions that 
     findings be made under subsection (b) of such section.
       ``(2) The Secretary shall take such actions as may be 
     necessary to simplify the procedures which must be complied 
     with by surface owners of lands subject to this Act who apply 
     to the Secretary to obtain title to interests in such lands 
     owned by the United States.
       ``(3) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the 
     Secretary may not convey mineral interests in lands subject 
     to this Act to any person other than the surface owner of 
     such lands without obtaining the consent of such surface 
     owner.

  Mr. SWIFT moved to suspend the rules and concur in the following 
Senate amendment to the House amendments to the bill of the Senate (S. 
680) to amend the International Travel Act of 1961 to assist in the 
growth of international travel and tourism into the United States, and 
for other purposes:

       In lieu of the matter proposed to be inserted by the House 
     amendment to the text of the bill, insert:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; REFERENCE.

       (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Tourism 
     Policy and Export Promotion Act of 1992''.
       (b) Reference.--Whenever in this Act an amendment or repeal 
     is expressed in terms of an amendment to, or repeal of, a 
     section or other provision, the reference shall be considered 
     to be made to a section or other provision of the 
     International Travel Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2121 et seq.).

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) the travel and tourism industry is the second largest 
     retail or service industry in the United States;
       (2) travel and tourism receipts make up over 6.7 percent of 
     the United States gross national product;
       (3) in 1991, the travel and tourism industry generated 
     about six million jobs directly and about two million five 
     hundred thousand indirectly;
       (4) travel and tourism expenditures in 1991 were 
     approximately $352,000,000,000;
       (5) forty-two million international visitors spent 
     approximately $64,700,000,000 in the United States in 1991;
       (6) travel and tourism services ranked as the largest 
     United States business services export in 1991, providing a 
     United States travel trade balance of $16,800,000,000;
       (7) many local communities with significant tourism 
     potential are unable to realize the economic and employment 
     opportunities that tourism provides because they lack the 
     necessary local resources and expertise needed to induce 
     tourism trade;
       (8) increased efforts directed at the promotion of rural 
     tourism will contribute to the economic development of rural 
     America and further the conservation and promotion of 
     natural, scenic, historic, scientific, educational, 
     inspirational, and recreational resources for future 
     generations of Americans and foreign visitors;
       (9) foreign tourists entering the United States are 
     frequently faced with unnecessary delays at the United States 
     border;
       (10) advanced technologies, industrial targeting, the 
     industrialization of the Third World, and the flight of some 
     United States manufacturing capacity to overseas locations 
     have affected the international competitiveness of the United 
     States;
       (11) exporting those goods and services which United States 
     industry can produce at a comparative cost advantage, such as 
     travel and tourism services, will be in the Nation's long-
     term strategic interest; and
       (12) the emergence of democratic governments in the 
     formerly Communist nations of Eastern Europe and in the 
     former Soviet Union provide new opportunities for United 
     States firms engaged in both the inbound and outbound tourism 
     markets.

     SEC. 3. SURVEY OF INTERNATIONAL AIR TRAVELERS.

       The Secretary of Commerce, to the extent available 
     resources permit, shall improve the survey of international 
     air travelers conducted to provide the data needed to 
     estimate the Nation's balance of payments in international 
     travel by--
       (1) expanding the survey to cover travel to and from the 
     Middle East, Africa, South America, and the Caribbean and 
     enhancing coverage for Mexico, Oceania, the Far East, and 
     Europe; and
       (2) improving the methodology for conducting on-board 
     surveys by (A) enhancing communications, training, and 
     liaison activities in cooperation with participating air 
     carriers, (B) providing for the continuation of needed data 
     bases, and (C) utilizing improved sampling procedures.

     The Secretary of Commerce shall seek to increase the 
     reporting frequency of the data provided by Statistics Canada 
     and the Bank of Mexico on international travel trade between 
     the United States and both Canada and Mexico. The Secretary 
     shall improve the quarterly statistical report on United 
     States international travel receipts and payments published 
     in the Bureau of Economic Analysis document known as ``The 
     Survey of Current Services'' and heighten its visibility.

     SEC. 4. RURAL TOURISM DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION.

       (B)(i) The Under Secretary of Commerce for Travel and 
     Tourism shall, within six months after the date of enactment 
     of this Act, appoint the initial nine voting members of the 
     Board and thereafter shall appoint the successors of each of 
     three such members, as provided by such bylaws.
       (ii) The voting members of the Board, other than those 
     referred to in clause (i), shall be appointed in accordance 
     with procedures established by such bylaws.
       (C) The voting members of the Board shall be individuals 
     who are not Federal officers or employees and who have

Para. 106.10  providing for the consideration of h.r. 5231

  Mr. DERRICK, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 563):

       Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this 
     resolution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule 
     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the State of the Union for consideration of 
     the bill (H.R. 5231) to amend the Stevenson-Wydler Technology 
     Innovation Act of 1980 to enhance manufacturing technology 
     development and transfer, to authorize appropriations for the 
     Technology Administration of the Department of Commerce, 
     including the National Institute of Standards and Technology, 
     and for other purposes. The first reading of the bill shall 
     be dispensed with. General debate shall be confined to the 
     bill and shall not exceed one hour equally divided and 
     controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
     Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. After general 
     debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the 
     five-minute rule for a period not to exceed four hours. In 
     lieu of the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute 
     now printed in the bill, it shall be in order to consider as 
     an original bill for the purpose of amendment under the five-
     minite rule the amendment in the nature of a substitute 
     printed in the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying 
     this resolution. The amendment in the nature of a substitute 
     shall be considered by title rather than by section. Each 
     title shall be considered as read. Points of order against 
     the amendment in the nature of a substitute for failure to 
     comply with clause 7 of rule XVI or clause 5(a) of rule XXI 
     are waived. At the conclusion of consideration of the bill 
     for amendment the Committee shall rise and report the bill to 
     the House with such amendments as may have been adopted. Any 
     Member may demand a separate vote in the House on any 
     amendment adopted in the Committee of the Whole to the bill 
     or to the amendment in the nature of a substitute made in 
     order as original text. The previous question shall be 
     considered as ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to 
     final passage without intervening motion except one motion to 
     recommit with or without instructions. After passage of H.R. 
     5231, it shall be in order to take from the Speaker's table 
     the bill S. 1330 and to consider the Senate bill in the 
     House. It shall then be in order to move to strike all after 
     the enacting clause of the Senate bill and to insert in lieu 
     thereof the provisions of H.R. 5231 as passed by the House. 
     All points of order against that motion are waived. If the 
     motion is adopted and the Senate bill, as amended, is passed, 
     then it shall be in order to move that the House insist on 
     its amendments to S. 1330 and to request a conference with 
     the Senate thereon.

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  Mr. DERRICK moved the previous question on the resolution to its 
adoption or rejection.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House now order the previous question?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MONTGOMERY, announced that the nays had 
it.
  Mr. DERRICK objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken by 
electronic device.

Para. 106.22  message from the president--u.s. activities in the u.n.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. BENNETT, laid before the House a message 
from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  I am pleased to transmit herewith a report of the activities of the 
United States Government in the United Nations and its affiliated 
agencies during the calendar year 1991, the third year of my 
Administration. The report is required by the United Nations 
Participation Act (Public Law 264, 79th Congress; 22 U.S.C. 287b).
                                                          George Bush.  
                                    The White House, September 16, 1992.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Para. 106.23  message from the president--aeronautics and space

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. BENNETT, laid before the House a message 
from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  It is with great pleasure that I transmit this report on the Nation's 
achievements in aeronautics and space during 1991, as required under 
section 206 of the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, as 
amended (42 U.S.C. 2476). Not only do aeronautics and space activities 
involve 14 contributing departments and agencies of the Federal 
Government, as reflected in this report, but the results of their 
ongoing research and development affect the Nation as a whole.
  Nineteen hundred and ninety-one was a significant year for U.S. 
aeronautics and space efforts. It included eight space shuttle missions 
and six successful launches by the Department of Defense. The shuttle 
missions included the first such mission to focus on astrophysics and 
the first dedicated to life sciences research. Other shuttle missions 
included launch of one satellite to study the unexplored polar regions 
of the Sun and another to collect astronomical data from gamma ray 
sources. Still another shuttle mission launched a satellite to study 
global atmospheric change affecting our own plant. In related areas, the 
Department of Commerce and other Federal agencies have pursued studies 
of such problems as ozone depletion and the greenhouse effect. Also here 
on Earth, many satellites launched in 1991 and earlier provided vital 
support for the successful prosecution of Operations Desert Shield and 
Desert Storm to force Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait. And in the 
aeronautical arena, efforts have ranged from the further development of 
the National Aero-Space Plane to broad-ranging research and development 
that will reduce aircraft noise and promote the increased safety of 
flight.

[[Page 1938]]

  Thus, 1991 was a successful year for the U.S. aeronautics and space 
programs. Efforts in both areas have promoted significant advances in 
the Nation's scientific and technical knowledge that promise to improve 
the quality of life on Earth by increasing scientific understanding, 
expanding the economy, improving the environment, and defending freedom.
                                                          George Bush.  
                                    The White House, September 16, 1992.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.

Para. 106.33  message from the president--family leave tax credit

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. BRYANT, laid before the House a message 
from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  I am pleased to transmit for your immediate consideration and 
enactment

[[Page 1939]]

the ``Family Leave Tax Credit Act of 1992''. This flexible family leave 
plan will enable 80 percent of the workplaces in the country--the small 
and mid-sized businesses that often cannot provide family leave--to 
provide family leave for their employees without costing jobs or 
stifling economic growth. The proposal will cover 15 million more 
workers, and 20 times as many workplaces, than the proposals in S. 5.
  This legislation will provide a refundable tax credit for up to 20 
percent of total compensation, for up to $100 a week--to a maximum of 
$1,200--for businesses that provide their employees with 12 weeks of 
family leave. An employee would be eligible to take leave under the 
following circumstances: the birth of a child, the placement of a child 
with the employee for adoption or foster care, care for a child, 
parent, or spouse with a serious health condition, or a serious health 
condition that prevents the employee from performing his or her job.
  This is not federally mandated leave. It instead gives employers 
positive incentives to adopt responsible family leave policies and 
gives them the flexibility to target the specific needs of their 
employees. To qualify for the credit, businesses must adopt 
nondiscriminatory policies that provide protections for employees' 
jobs, benefits, and health insurance.
  On May 5, 1992, the Administration transmitted the ``Health Benefits 
for Self Employed Individuals Act of 1992'' to the Congress. This 
proposal was also intended to help improve benefits for small 
businesses, without deterring economic growth, by expanding the 
deductibility of health insurance from 25 percent of costs to 100 
percent of costs. Packaged with the Family Leave Tax Credit, we are 
providing a strong impetus for small businesses to develop quality 
benefits programs.
  The Department of the Treasury has estimated the cost of the Family 
Leave Tax Credit at approximately $500 million for FY 1993 and $2.7 
billion over 5 years. The combined cost of the Family Leave Tax Credit 
and the ``Health Benefits for the Self Employed'' is $740 million in 
1993 and $7.7 billion over 5 years. These costs must be offset under 
the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990. In my 1993 Budget, I identified 
$68.4 billion of specific mandatory spending reductions. Any of those 
offsets would be acceptable to the Administration. Additionally, when 
the self employed tax credit was transmitted to the Congress, over $9.3 
billion of these offsets were specifically suggested to pay for the 
proposal--substantially more than was required. Those same $9.3 billion 
in offsets are sufficient to pay for the costs of both the self 
employed deduction and the Family Leave Tax Credit under the Budget 
Enforcement Act of 1990.
  I urge the Congress to take prompt action to generate constructive 
family leave policies that are consistent with economic growth by 
quickly passing this legislation.
                                                         George Bush.  
                                  The White House, September 16, 1992. 

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means and ordered to 
be printed (H. Doc. 102-389).

Para. 106.34  senate enrolled bill signed

  The SPEAKER announced his signature to an enrolled bill of the Senate 
of the following title:

       S. 5. An Act to grant employees family and temporary 
     medical leave under certain circumstances, and for other 
     purposes.

  And then,

Para. 107.7  cable television consumer protection

  Mr. MARKEY called up the following conference report (Rept. No. 102-
862):

       The committee of conference on the disagreeing votes of the 
     two Houses on the amendments of the House to the bill (S. 
     12), to amend title VI of the Communications Act of 1934 to 
     ensure carriage on cable television of local news and other 
     programming and to restore the right of local regulatory 
     authorities to regulate cable television rates, and for other 
     purposes, having met, after full and free conference, have 
     agreed to recommend and do recommend to their respective 
     Houses as follows:
       That the Senate recede from its disagreement to the 
     amendment of the House to the text of the bill and agree to 
     the same with an amendment as follows:
       In lieu of the matter proposed to be inserted by the House 
     amendment, insert the following:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Cable Television Consumer 
     Protection and Competition Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS; POLICY; DEFINITIONS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds and declares the 
     following:
       (1) Pursuant to the Cable Communications Policy Act of 
     1984, rates for cable television services have been 
     deregulated in approximately 97 percent of all franchises 
     since December 29, 1986. Since rate deregulation, monthly 
     rates for the lowest priced basic cable service have 
     increased by 40 percent or more for 28 percent of cable 
     television subscribers. Although the average number of basic 
     channels has increased from about 24 to 30, average monthly 
     rates have increased by 29 percent during the same period. 
     The average monthly cable rate has increased almost 3 times 
     as much as the Consumer Price Index since rate deregulation.
       (2) For a variety of reasons, including local franchising 
     requirements and the extraordinary expense of constructing 
     more than one cable television system to serve a particular 
     geographic area, most cable television subscribers have no 
     opportunity to select between competing cable systems. 
     Without the presence of another multichannel video 
     programming distributor, a cable system faces no local 
     competition. The result is undue market power for the cable 
     operator as compared to that of consumers and video 
     programmers.
       (3) There has been a substantial increase in the 
     penetration of cable television systems over the past decade. 
     Nearly 56,000,000 households, over 60 percent of the 
     households with televisions, subscribe to cable television, 
     and this percentage is almost certain to increase. As a 
     result of this growth, the cable television industry has 
     become a dominant nationwide video medium.
       (4) The cable industry has become highly concentrated. The 
     potential effects of such concentration are barriers to entry 
     for new programmers and a reduction in the number of media 
     voices available to consumers.
       (5) The cable industry has become vertically integrated; 
     cable operators and cable programmers often have common 
     ownership. As a result, cable operators have the incentive 
     and ability to favor their affiliated programmers. This could 
     make it more difficult for noncable-affiliated programmers to 
     secure carriage on cable systems. Vertically integrated 
     program suppliers also have the incentive and ability to 
     favor their affiliated cable operators over nonaffiliated 
     cable operators and programming distributors using other 
     technologies.
       (6) There is a substantial governmental and First Amendment 
     interest in promoting a diversity of views provided through 
     multiple technology media.
       (7) There is a substantial governmental and First Amendment 
     interest in ensuring that cable subscribers have access to 
     local noncommercial educational stations which Congress has 
     authorized, as expressed in section 396(a)(5) of the 
     Communications Act of 1934. The distribution of unique 
     noncommercial, educational programming services advances that 
     interest.
       (8) The Federal Government has a substantial interest in 
     making all nonduplicative local public television services 
     available on cable systems because--
       (A) public television provides educational and 
     informational programming to the Nation's citizens, thereby 
     advancing the Government's compelling interest in educating 
     its citizens;
       (B) public television is a local community institution, 
     supported through local tax dollars and voluntary citizen 
     contributions in excess of $10,800,000,000 since 1972, that 
     provides public service programming that is responsive to the 
     needs and interests of the local community;
       (C) the Federal Government, in recognition of public 
     television's integral role in serving the educational and 
     informational needs of local communities, has invested more 
     than $3,000,000,000 in public broadcasting since 1969; and
       (D) absent carriage requirements there is a substantial 
     likelihood that citizens, who have supported local public 
     television services, will be deprived of those services.
       (9) The Federal Government has a substantial interest in 
     having cable systems carry the signals of local commercial 
     television stations because the carriage of such signals is 
     necessary to serve the goals contained in section 307(b) of 
     the Communications Act of 1934 of providing a fair, 
     efficient, and equitable distribution of broadcast services.
       (10) A primary objective and benefit of our Nation's system 
     of regulation of television broadcasting is the local 
     origination of programming. There is a substantial 
     governmental interest in ensuring its continuation.
       (11) Broadcast television stations continue to be an 
     important source of local news and public affairs programming 
     and other local broadcast services critical to an informed 
     electorate.
       (12) Broadcast television programming is supported by 
     revenues generated from advertising broadcast over stations. 
     Such programming is otherwise free to those who own 
     television sets and do not require cable transmission to 
     receive broadcast signals. There is a substantial 
     governmental interest in promoting the continued availability 
     of such free television programming, especially for viewers 
     who are unable to afford other means of receiving 
     programming.
       (13) As a result of the growth of cable television, there 
     has been a marked shift in market share from broadcast 
     television to cable television services.
       (14) Cable television systems and broadcast television 
     stations increasingly compete for television advertising 
     revenues. As the proportion of households subscribing to 
     cable television increases, proportionately more advertising 
     revenues will be reallocated from broadcast to cable 
     television systems.
       (15) A cable television system which carries the signal of 
     a local television broadcaster is assisting the broadcaster 
     to increase its viewership, and thereby attract additional 
     advertising revenues that otherwise might be earned by the 
     cable system operator. As a result, there is an economic 
     incentive for cable systems to terminate the retransmission 
     of the broadcast signal, refuse to carry new signals, or 
     reposition a broadcast signal to a disadvantageous channel 
     position. There is a substantial likelihood that absent the 
     reimposition of such a requirement, additional local 
     broadcast signals will be deleted, repositioned, or not 
     carried.
       (16) As a result of the economic incentive that cable 
     systems have to delete, reposition, or not carry local 
     broadcast signals, coupled with the absence of a requirement 
     that such systems carry local broadcast signals, the economic 
     viability of free local broadcast television and its ability 
     to originate quality local programming will be seriously 
     jeopardized.
       (17) Consumers who subscribe to cable television often do 
     so to obtain local broadcast signals which they otherwise 
     would not be able to receive, or to obtain improved signals. 
     Most subscribers to cable television systems do not or cannot 
     maintain antennas to receive broadcast television services, 
     do not have input selector switches to convert from a cable 
     to antenna reception system, or cannot otherwise receive 
     broadcast television services. The regulatory system created 
     by the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 was premised 
     upon the continued existence of mandatory carriage 
     obligations for cable systems, ensuring that local stations 
     would be protected from anticompetitive conduct by cable 
     systems.
       (18) Cable television systems often are the single most 
     efficient distribution system for television programming. A 
     Government mandate for a substantial societal investment in 
     alternative distribution systems for cable subscribers, such 
     as the ``A/B'' input selector antenna system, is not an 
     enduring or feasible method of distribution and is not in the 
     public interest.
       (19) At the same time, broadcast programming that is 
     carried remains the most popular programming on cable 
     systems, and a substantial portion of the benefits for which 
     consumers pay cable systems is derived from carriage of the 
     signals of network affiliates, independent television 
     stations, and public television stations. Also cable 
     programming placed on channels adjacent to popular off-the-
     air signals obtains a larger audience than on other channel 
     positions. Cable systems, therefore, obtain great benefits 
     from local broadcast signals which, until now, they have been 
     able to obtain without the consent of the broadcaster or any 
     copyright liability. This has resulted in an effective 
     subsidy of the development of cable systems by local 
     broadcasters. While at one time, when cable systems did not 
     attempt to compete with local broadcasters for programming, 
     audience, and advertising, this subsidy may have been 
     appropriate, it is so no longer and results in a competitive 
     imbalance between the 2 industries.
       (20) The Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, in its 
     amendments to the Communications Act of 1934, limited the 
     regulatory authority of franchising authorities over cable 
     operators. Franchising authorities are finding it difficult 
     under the current regulatory scheme to deny renewals to cable 
     systems that are not adequately serving cable subscribers.
       (21) Cable systems should be encouraged to carry low-power 
     television stations licensed to the communities served by 
     those systems

[[Page 1943]]

     where the low-power station creates and broadcasts, as a 
     substantial part of its programming day, local programming.
       (b) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the Congress 
     in this Act to--
       (1) promote the availability to the public of a diversity 
     of views and information through cable television and other 
     video distribution media;
       (2) rely on the marketplace, to the maximum extent 
     feasible, to achieve that availability;
       (3) ensure that cable operators continue to expand, where 
     economically justified, their capacity and the programs 
     offered over their cable systems;
       (4) where cable television systems are not subject to 
     effective competition, ensure that consumer interests are 
     protected in receipt of cable service; and
       (5) ensure that cable television operators do not have 
     undue market power vis-a-vis video programmers and consumers.
       (c) Definitions.--Section 602 of the Communications Act of 
     1934 (47 U.S.C. 531) is amended--
       (1) by redesignating paragraph (16) as paragraph (19);
       (2) by striking ``and'' at the end of paragraph (15);
       (3) by redesignating paragraphs (11) through (15) as 
     paragraphs (13) through (17), respectively;
       (4) by redesignating paragraphs (1) through (10) as 
     paragraphs (2) through (11), respectively;
       (5) by inserting before paragraph (2) (as so redesignated) 
     the following new paragraph:
       ``(1) the term `activated channels' means those channels 
     engineered at the headend of a cable system for the provision 
     of services generally available to residential subscribers of 
     the cable system, regardless of whether such services 
     actually are provided, including any channel designated for 
     public, educational, or governmental use;'';
       (6) by inserting after paragraph (11) (as so redesignated) 
     the following new paragraph:
       ``(12) the term `multichannel video programming 
     distributor' means a person such as, but not limited to, a 
     cable operator, a multichannel multipoint distribution 
     service, a direct broadcast satellite service, or a 
     television receive-only satellite program distributor, who 
     makes available for purchase, by subscribers or customers, 
     multiple channels of video programming;''; and
       (7) by inserting after paragraph (17) (as so redesignated) 
     the following new paragraph:
       ``(18) the term `usable activated channels' means activated 
     channels of a cable system, except those channels whose use 
     for the distribution of broadcast signals would conflict with 
     technical and safety regulations as determined by the 
     Commission; and''.

     SEC. 3. REGULATION OF RATES.

       (a) Amendment.--Section 623 of the Communications Act of 
     1934 (47 U.S.C. 543) is amended to read as follows:

     ``SEC. 623. REGULATION OF RATES.

       ``(a) Competition Preference; Local and Federal 
     Regulation.--
       ``(1) In general.--No Federal agency or State may regulate 
     the rates for the provision of cable service except to the 
     extent provided under this section and section 612. Any 
     franchising authority may regulate the rates for the 
     provision of cable service, or any other communications 
     service provided over a cable system to cable subscribers, 
     but only to the extent provided under this section. No 
     Federal agency, State, or franchising authority may regulate 
     the rates for cable service of a cable system that is owned 
     or operated by a local government or franchising authority 
     within whose jurisdiction that cable system is located and 
     that is the only cable system located within such 
     jurisdiction.
       ``(2) Preference for competition.--If the Commission finds 
     that a cable system is subject to effective competition, the 
     rates for the provision of cable service by such system shall 
     not be subject to regulation by the Commission or by a State 
     or franchising authority under this section. If the 
     Commission finds that a cable system is not subject to 
     effective competition--
       ``(A) the rates for the provision of basic cable service 
     shall be subject to regulation by a franchising authority, or 
     by the Commission if the Commission exercises jurisdiction 
     pursuant to paragraph (6), in accordance with the regulations 
     prescribed by the Commission under subsection (b); and
       ``(B) the rates for cable programming services shall be 
     subject to regulation by the Commission under subsection (c).
       ``(3) Qualification of franchising authority.--A 
     franchising authority that seeks to exercise the regulatory 
     jurisdiction permitted under paragraph (2)(A) shall file with 
     the Commission a written certification that--
       ``(A) the franchising authority will adopt and administer 
     regulations with respect to the rates subject to regulation 
     under this section that are consistent with the regulations 
     prescribed by the Commission under subsection (b);
       ``(B) the franchising authority has the legal authority to 
     adopt, and the personnel to administer, such regulations; and
       ``(C) procedural laws and regulations applicable to rate 
     regulation proceedings by such authority provide a reasonable 
     opportunity for consideration of the views of interested 
     parties.
       ``(4) Approval by commission.--A certification filed by a 
     franchising authority under paragraph (3) shall be effective 
     30 days after the date on which it is filed unless the 
     Commission finds, after notice to the authority and a 
     reasonable opportunity for the authority to comment, that--
       ``(A) the franchising authority has adopted or is 
     administering regulations with respect to the rates subject 
     to regulation under this section that are not consistent with 
     the regulations prescribed by the Commission under subsection 
     (b);
       ``(B) the franchising authority does not have the legal 
     authority to adopt, or the personnel to administer, such 
     regulations; or
       ``(C) procedural laws and regulations applicable to rate 
     regulation proceedings by such authority do not provide a 
     reasonable opportunity for consideration of the views of 
     interested parties.

     If the Commission disapproves a franchising authority's 
     certification, the Commission shall notify the franchising 
     authority of any revisions or modifications necessary to 
     obtain approval.
       ``(5) Revocation of jurisdiction.--Upon petition by a cable 
     operator or other interested party, the Commission shall 
     review the regulation of cable system rates by a franchising 
     authority under this subsection. A copy of the petition shall 
     be provided to the franchising authority by the person filing 
     the petition. If the Commission finds that the franchising 
     authority has acted inconsistently with the requirements of 
     this subsection, the Commission shall grant appropriate 
     relief. If the Commission, after the franchising authority 
     has had a reasonable opportunity to comment, determines that 
     the State and local laws and regulations are not in 
     conformance with the regulations prescribed by the Commission 
     under subsection (b), the Commission shall revoke the 
     jurisdiction of such authority.
       ``(6) Exercise of jurisdiction by commission.--If the 
     Commission disapproves a franchising authority's 
     certification under paragraph (4), or revokes such 
     authority's jurisdiction under paragraph (5), the Commission 
     shall exercise the franchising authority's regulatory 
     jurisdiction under paragraph (2)(A) until the franchising 
     authority has qualified to exercise that jurisdiction by 
     filing a new certification that meets the requirements of 
     paragraph (3). Such new certification shall be effective upon 
     approval by the Commission. The Commission shall act to 
     approve or disapprove any such new certification within 90 
     days after the date it is filed.
       ``(b) Establishment of Basic Service Tier Rate 
     Regulations.--
       ``(1) Commission obligation to subscribers.--The Commission 
     shall, by regulation, ensure that the rates for the basic 
     service tier are reasonable. Such regulations shall be 
     designed to achieve the goal of protecting subscribers of any 
     cable system that is not subject to effective competition 
     from rates for the basic service tier that exceed the rates 
     that would be charged for the basic service tier if such 
     cable system were subject to effective competition.
       ``(2) Commission regulations.--Within 180 days after the 
     date of enactment of the Cable Television Consumer Protection 
     and Competition Act of 1992, the Commission shall prescribe, 
     and periodically thereafter revise, regulations to carry out 
     its obligations under paragraph (1). In prescribing such 
     regulations, the Commission--
       ``(A) shall seek to reduce the administrative burdens on 
     subscribers, cable operators, franchising authorities, and 
     the Commission;
       ``(B) may adopt formulas or other mechanisms and procedures 
     in complying with the requirements of subparagraph (A); and
       ``(C) shall take into account the following factors:
       ``(i) the rates for cable systems, if any, that are subject 
     to effective competition;
       ``(ii) the direct costs (if any) of obtaining, 
     transmitting, and otherwise providing signals carried on the 
     basic service tier, including signals and services carried on 
     the basic service tier pursuant to paragraph (7)(B), and 
     changes in such costs;
       ``(iii) only such portion of the joint and common costs (if 
     any) of obtaining, transmitting, and otherwise providing such 
     signals as is determined, in accordance with regulations 
     prescribed by the Commission, to be reasonably and properly 
     allocable to the basic service tier, and changes in such 
     costs;
       ``(iv) the revenues (if any) received by a cable operator 
     from advertising from programming that is carried as part of 
     the basic service tier or from other consideration obtained 
     in connection with the basic service tier;
       ``(v) the reasonably and properly allocable portion of any 
     amount assessed as a franchise fee, tax, or charge of any 
     kind imposed by any State or local authority on the 
     transactions between cable operators and cable subscribers or 
     any other fee, tax, or assessment of general applicability 
     imposed by a governmental entity applied against cable 
     operators or cable subscribers;
       ``(vi) any amount required, in accordance with paragraph 
     (4), to satisfy franchise requirements to support public, 
     educational, or governmental channels or the use of such 
     channels or any other services required under the franchise; 
     and
       ``(vii) a reasonable profit, as defined by the Commission 
     consistent with the Commission's obligations to subscribers 
     under paragraph (1).
       ``(3) Equipment.--The regulations prescribed by the 
     Commission under this subsection shall include standards to 
     establish, on the basis of actual cost, the price or rate 
     for--
       ``(A) installation and lease of the equipment used by 
     subscribers to receive the basic service tier, including a 
     converter box and a

[[Page 1944]]

     remote control unit and, if requested by the subscriber, such 
     addressable converter box or other equipment as is required 
     to access programming described in paragraph (8); and
       ``(B) installation and monthly use of connections for 
     additional television receivers.
       ``(4) Costs of franchise requirements.--The regulations 
     prescribed by the Commission under this subsection shall 
     include standards to identify costs attributable to 
     satisfying franchise requirements to support public, 
     educational, and governmental channels or the use of such 
     channels or any other services required under the franchise.
       ``(5) Implementation and enforcement.--The regulations 
     prescribed by the Commission under this subsection shall 
     include additional standards, guidelines, and procedures 
     concerning the implementation and enforcement of such 
     regulations, which shall include--
       ``(A) procedures by which cable operators may implement and 
     franchising authorities may enforce the regulations 
     prescribed by the Commission under this subsection;
       ``(B) procedures for the expeditious resolution of disputes 
     between cable operators and franchising authorities 
     concerning the administration of such regulations;
       ``(C) standards and procedures to prevent unreasonable 
     charges for changes in the subscriber's selection of services 
     or equipment subject to regulation under this section, which 
     standards shall require that charges for changing the service 
     tier selected shall be based on the cost of such change and 
     shall not exceed nominal amounts when the system's 
     configuration permits changes in service tier selection to be 
     effected solely by coded entry on a computer terminal or by 
     other similarly simple method; and
       ``(D) standards and procedures to assure that subscribers 
     receive notice of the availability of the basic service tier 
     required under this section.
       ``(6) Notice.--The procedures prescribed by the Commission 
     pursuant to paragraph (5)(A) shall require a cable operator 
     to provide 30 days' advance notice to a franchising authority 
     of any increase proposed in the price to be charged for the 
     basic service tier.
       ``(7) Components of basic tier subject to rate 
     regulation.--
       ``(A) Minimum contents.--Each cable operator of a cable 
     system shall provide its subscribers a separately available 
     basic service tier to which subscription is required for 
     access to any other tier of service. Such basic service tier 
     shall, at a minimum, consist of the following:
       ``(i) All signals carried in fulfillment of the 
     requirements of sections 614 and 615.
       ``(ii) Any public, educational, and governmental access 
     programming required by the franchise of the cable system to 
     be provided to subscribers.
       ``(iii) Any signal of any television broadcast station that 
     is provided by the cable operator to any subscriber, except a 
     signal which is secondarily transmitted by a satellite 
     carrier beyond the local service area of such station.
       ``(B) Permitted additions to basic tier.--A cable operator 
     may add additional video programming signals or services to 
     the basic service tier. Any such additional signals or 
     services provided on the basic service tier shall be provided 
     to subscribers at rates determined under the regulations 
     prescribed by the Commission under this subsection.
       ``(8) Buy-through of other tiers prohibited.--
       ``(A) Prohibition.--A cable operator may not require the 
     subscription to any tier other than the basic service tier 
     required by paragraph (7) as a condition of access to video 
     programming offered on a per channel or per program basis. A 
     cable operator may not discriminate between subscribers to 
     the basic service tier and other subscribers with regard to 
     the rates charged for video programming offered on a per 
     channel or per program basis.
       ``(B) Exception; limitation.--The prohibition in 
     subparagraph (A) shall not apply to a cable system that, by 
     reason of the lack of addressable converter boxes or other 
     technological limitations, does not permit the operator to 
     offer programming on a per channel or per program basis in 
     the same manner required by subparagraph (A). This 
     subparagraph shall not be available to any cable operator 
     after--
       ``(i) the technology utilized by the cable system is 
     modified or improved in a way that eliminates such 
     technological limitation; or
       ``(ii) 10 years after the date of enactment of the Cable 
     Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992, 
     subject to subparagraph (C).
       ``(C) Waiver.--If, in any proceeding initiated at the 
     request of any cable operator, the Commission determines that 
     compliance with the requirements of subparagraph (A) would 
     require the cable operator to increase its rates, the 
     Commission may, to the extent consistent with the public 
     interest, grant such cable operator a waiver from such 
     requirements for such specified period as the Commission 
     determines reasonable and appropriate.
       ``(c) Regulation of Unreasonable Rates.--
       ``(1) Commission regulations.--Within 180 days after the 
     date of enactment of the Cable Television Consumer Protection 
     and Competition Act of 1992, the Commission shall, by 
     regulation, establish the following:
       ``(A) criteria prescribed in accordance with paragraph (2) 
     for identifying, in individual cases, rates for cable 
     programming services that are unreasonable;
       ``(B) fair and expeditious procedures for the receipt, 
     consideration, and resolution of complaints from any 
     subscriber, franchising authority, or other relevant State or 
     local government entity alleging that a rate for cable 
     programming services charged by a cable operator violates the 
     criteria prescribed under subparagraph (A), which procedures 
     shall include the minimum showing that shall be required for 
     a complaint to obtain Commission consideration and resolution 
     of whether the rate in question is unreasonable; and
       ``(C) the procedures to be used to reduce rates for cable 
     programming services that are determined by the Commission to 
     be unreasonable and to refund such portion of the rates or 
     charges that were paid by subscribers after the filing of 
     such complaint and that are determined to be unreasonable.
       ``(2) Factors to be considered.--In establishing the 
     criteria for determining in individual cases whether rates 
     for cable programming services are unreasonable under 
     paragraph (1)(A), the Commission shall consider, among other 
     factors--
       ``(A) the rates for similarly situated cable systems 
     offering comparable cable programming services, taking into 
     account similarities in facilities, regulatory and 
     governmental costs, the number of subscribers, and other 
     relevant factors;
       ``(B) the rates for cable systems, if any, that are subject 
     to effective competition;
       ``(C) the history of the rates for cable programming 
     services of the system, including the relationship of such 
     rates to changes in general consumer prices;
       ``(D) the rates, as a whole, for all the cable programming, 
     cable equipment, and cable services provided by the system, 
     other than programming provided on a per channel or per 
     program basis;
       ``(E) capital and operating costs of the cable system, 
     including the quality and costs of the customer service 
     provided by the cable system; and
       ``(F) the revenues (if any) received by a cable operator 
     from advertising from programming that is carried as part of 
     the service for which a rate is being established, and 
     changes in such revenues, or from other consideration 
     obtained in connection with the cable programming services 
     concerned.
       ``(3) Limitation on complaints concerning existing rates.--
     Except during the 180-day period following the effective date 
     of the regulations prescribed by the Commission under 
     paragraph (1), the procedures established under subparagraph 
     (B) of such paragraph shall be available only with respect to 
     complaints filed within a reasonable period of time following 
     a change in rates that is initiated after that effective 
     date, including a change in rates that results from a change 
     in that system's service tiers.
       ``(d) Uniform Rate Structure Required.--A cable operator 
     shall have a rate structure, for the provision of cable 
     service, that is uniform throughout the geographic area in 
     which cable service is provided over its cable system.
       ``(e) Discrimination; Services for the Hearing Impaired.--
     Nothing in this title shall be construed as prohibiting any 
     Federal agency, State, or a franchising authority from--
       ``(1) prohibiting discrimination among subscribers and 
     potential subscribers to cable service, except that no 
     Federal agency, State, or franchising authority may prohibit 
     a cable operator from offering reasonable discounts to senior 
     citizens or other economically disadvantaged group discounts; 
     or
       ``(2) requiring and regulating the installation or rental 
     of equipment which facilitates the reception of cable service 
     by hearing impaired individuals.
       ``(f) Negative Option Billing Prohibited.--A cable operator 
     shall not charge a subscriber for any service or equipment 
     that the subscriber has not affirmatively requested by name. 
     For purposes of this subsection, a subscriber's failure to 
     refuse a cable operator's proposal to provide such service or 
     equipment shall not be deemed to be an affirmative request 
     for such service or equipment.
       ``(g) Collection of Information.--The Commission shall, by 
     regulation, require cable operators to file with the 
     Commission or a franchising authority, as appropriate, within 
     one year after the date of enactment of the Cable Television 
     Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 and annually 
     thereafter, such financial information as may be needed for 
     purposes of administering and enforcing this section.
       ``(h) Prevention of Evasions.--Within 180 days after the 
     date of enactment of the Cable Television Consumer Protection 
     and Competition Act of 1992, the Commission shall, by 
     regulation, establish standards, guidelines, and procedures 
     to prevent evasions, including evasions that result from 
     retiering, of the requirements of this section and shall, 
     thereafter, periodically review and revise such standards, 
     guidelines, and procedures.
       ``(i) Small System Burdens.--In developing and prescribing 
     regulations pursuant to this section, the Commission shall 
     design such regulations to reduce the administrative burdens 
     and cost of compliance for cable systems that have 1,000 or 
     fewer subscribers.
       ``(j) Rate Regulation Agreements.--During the term of an 
     agreement made before July 1, 1990, by a franchising 
     authority and a cable operator providing for the regulation 
     of basic cable service rates, where there was not effective 
     competition under Commission rules in effect on that date, 
     nothing in this section (or the regulations thereunder) shall 
     abridge the ability of such franchising au- 

[[Page 1945]]

     thority to regulate rates in accordance with such an 
     agreement.
       ``(k) Reports on Average Prices.--The Commission shall 
     annually publish statistical reports on the average rates for 
     basic cable service and other cable programming, and for 
     converter boxes, remote control units, and other equipment, 
     of--
       ``(1) cable systems that the Commission has found are 
     subject to effective competition under subsection (a)(2), 
     compared with
       ``(2) cable systems that the Commission has found are not 
     subject to such effective competition.
       ``(l) Definitions.--As used in this section--
       ``(1) The term `effective competition' means that--
       ``(A) fewer than 30 percent of the households in the 
     franchise area subscribe to the cable service of a cable 
     system;
       ``(B) the franchise area is--
       ``(i) served by at least two unaffiliated multichannel 
     video programming distributors each of which offers 
     comparable video programming to at least 50 percent of the 
     households in the franchise area; and
       ``(ii) the number of households subscribing to programming 
     services offered by multichannel video programming 
     distributors other than the largest multichannel video 
     programming distributor exceeds 15 percent of the households 
     in the franchise area; or
       ``(C) a multichannel video programming distributor operated 
     by the franchising authority for that franchise area offers 
     video programming to at least 50 percent of the households in 
     that franchise area.
       ``(2) The term `cable programming service' means any video 
     programming provided over a cable system, regardless of 
     service tier, including installation or rental of equipment 
     used for the receipt of such video programming, other than 
     (A) video programming carried on the basic service tier, and 
     (B) video programming offered on a per channel or per program 
     basis.''.
       (b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by subsection (a) 
     shall take effect 180 days after the date of enactment of 
     this Act, except that the authority of the Federal 
     Communications Commission to prescribe regulations is 
     effective on such date of enactment.

     SEC. 4. CARRIAGE OF LOCAL COMMERCIAL TELEVISION SIGNALS.

       Part II of title VI of the Communications Act of 1934 is 
     amended by inserting after section 613 (47 U.S.C. 533) the 
     following new section:

     ``SEC. 614. CARRIAGE OF LOCAL COMMERCIAL TELEVISION SIGNALS.

       ``(a) Carriage Obligations.--Each cable operator shall 
     carry, on the cable system of that operator, the signals of 
     local commercial television stations and qualified low power 
     stations as provided by this section. Carriage of additional 
     broadcast television signals on such system shall be at the 
     discretion of such operator, subject to section 325(b).
       ``(b) Signals Required.--
       ``(1) In general.--(A) A cable operator of a cable system 
     with 12 or fewer usable activated channels shall carry the 
     signals of at least three local commercial television 
     stations, except that if such a system has 300 or fewer 
     subscribers, it shall not be subject to any requirements 
     under this section so long as such system does not delete 
     from carriage by that system any signal of a broadcast 
     television station.
       ``(B) A cable operator of a cable system with more than 12 
     usable activated channels shall carry the signals of local 
     commercial television stations, up to one-third of the 
     aggregate number of usable activated channels of such system.
       ``(2) Selection of signals.--Whenever the number of local 
     commercial television stations exceeds the maximum number of 
     signals a cable system is required to carry under paragraph 
     (1), the cable operator shall have discretion in selecting 
     which such stations shall be carried on its cable system, 
     except that--
       ``(A) under no circumstances shall a cable operator carry a 
     qualified low power station in lieu of a local commercial 
     television station; and
       ``(B) if the cable operator elects to carry an affiliate of 
     a broadcast network (as such term is defined by the 
     Commission by regulation), such cable operator shall carry 
     the affiliate of such broadcast network whose city of license 
     reference point, as defined in section 76.53 of title 47, 
     Code of Federal Regulations (in effect on January 1, 1991), 
     or any successor regulation thereto, is closest to the 
     principal headend of the cable system.
       ``(3) Content to be carried.--(A) A cable operator shall 
     carry in its entirety, on the cable system of that operator, 
     the primary video, accompanying audio, and line 21 closed 
     caption transmission of each of the local commercial 
     television stations carried on the cable system and, to the 
     extent technically feasible, program-related material carried 
     in the vertical blanking interval or on subcarriers. 
     Retransmission of other material in the vertical blanking 
     internal or other nonprogram-related material (including 
     teletext and other subscription and advertiser-supported 
     information services) shall be at the discretion of the cable 
     operator. Where appropriate and feasible, operators may 
     delete signal enhancements, such as ghost-canceling, from the 
     broadcast signal and employ such enhancements at the system 
     headend or headends.
       ``(B) The cable operator shall carry the entirety of the 
     program schedule of any television station carried on the 
     cable system unless carriage of specific programming is 
     prohibited, and other programming authorized to be 
     substituted, under section 76.67 or subpart F of part 76 of 
     title 47, Code of Federal Regulations (as in effect on 
     January 1, 1991), or any successor regulations thereto.
       ``(4) Signal quality.--
       ``(A) Nondegradation; technical specifications.--The 
     signals of local commercial television stations that a cable 
     operator carries shall be carried without material 
     degradation. The Commission shall adopt carriage standards to 
     ensure that, to the extent technically feasible, the quality 
     of signal processing and carriage provided by a cable system 
     for the carriage of local commercial television stations will 
     be no less than that provided by the system for carriage of 
     any other type of signal.
       ``(B) Advanced television.--At such time as the Commission 
     prescribes modifications of the standards for television 
     broadcast signals, the Commission shall initiate a proceeding 
     to establish any changes in the signal carriage requirements 
     of cable television systems necessary to ensure cable 
     carriage of such broadcast signals of local commercial 
     television stations which have been changed to conform with 
     such modified standards.
       ``(5) Duplication not required.--Notwithstanding paragraph 
     (1), a cable operator shall not be required to carry the 
     signal of any local commercial television station that 
     substantially duplicates the signal of another local 
     commercial television station which is carried on its cable 
     system, or to carry the signals of more than one local 
     commercial television station affiliated with a particular 
     broadcast network (as such term is defined by regulation). If 
     a cable operator elects to carry on its cable system a signal 
     which substantially duplicates the signal of another local 
     commercial television station carried on the cable system, or 
     to carry on its system the signals of more than one local 
     commercial television station affiliated with a particular 
     broadcast network, all such signals shall be counted toward 
     the number of signals the operator is required to carry under 
     paragraph (1).
       ``(6) Channel positioning.--Each signal carried in 
     fulfillment of the carriage obligations of a cable operator 
     under this section shall be carried on the cable system 
     channel number on which the local commercial television 
     station is broadcast over the air, or on the channel on which 
     it was carried on July 19, 1985, or on the channel on which 
     it was carried on January 1, 1992, at the election of the 
     station, or on such other channel number as is mutually 
     agreed upon by the station and the cable operator. Any 
     dispute regarding the positioning of a local commercial 
     television station shall be resolved by the Commission.
       ``(7) Signal availability.--Signals carried in fulfillment 
     of the requirements of this section shall be provided to 
     every subscriber of a cable system. Such signals shall be 
     viewable via cable on all television receivers of a 
     subscriber which are connected to a cable system by a cable 
     operator or for which a cable operator provides a connection. 
     If a cable operator authorizes subscribers to install 
     additional receiver connections, but does not provide the 
     subscriber with such connections, or with the equipment and 
     materials for such connections, the operator shall notify 
     such subscribers of all broadcast stations carried on the 
     cable system which cannot be viewed via cable without a 
     converter box and shall offer to sell or lease such a 
     converter box to such subscribers at rates in accordance with 
     section 623(b)(3).
       ``(8) Identification of signals carried.--A cable operator 
     shall identify, upon request by any person, the signals 
     carried on its system in fulfillment of the requirements of 
     this section.
       ``(9) Notification.--A cable operator shall provide written 
     notice to a local commercial television station at least 30 
     days prior to either deleting from carriage or repositioning 
     that station. No deletion or repositioning of a local 
     commercial television station shall occur during a period in 
     which major television ratings services measure the size of 
     audiences of local television stations. The notification 
     provisions of this paragraph shall not be used to undermine 
     or evade the channel positioning or carriage requirements 
     imposed upon cable operators under this section.
       ``(10) Compensation for carriage.--A cable operator shall 
     not accept or request monetary payment or other valuable 
     consideration in exchange either for carriage of local 
     commercial television stations in fulfillment of the 
     requirements of this section or for the channel positioning 
     rights provided to such stations under this section, except 
     that--
       ``(A) any such station may be required to bear the costs 
     associated with delivering a good quality signal or a 
     baseband video signal to the principal headend of the cable 
     system;

     date of expiration of an agreement thereon between a cable 
     operator and a local commercial tele-

     vision station entered into prior to June 26, 1990.
       ``(c) Low Power Station Carriage Obligation.--
       ``(1) Requirement.--If there are not sufficient signals of 
     full power local commercial television stations to fill the 
     channels set aside under subsection (b)--
       ``(A) a cable operator of a cable system with a capacity of 
     35 or fewer usable activated channels shall be required to 
     carry one qualified low power station; and
       ``(B) a cable operator of a cable system with a capacity of 
     more than 35 usable activated channels shall be required to 
     carry two qualified low power stations.
       ``(2) Use of public, educational, or governmental 
     channels.--A cable operator required to carry more than one 
     signal of a qualified low power station under this subsection 
     may do so, subject to approval by the franchising authority 
     pursuant to section 611, by placing such additional station 
     on public, educational, or governmental channels not in use 
     for their designated purposes.
       ``(d) Remedies.--
       ``(1) Complaints by broadcast stations.--Whenever a local 
     commercial television station believes that a cable operator 
     has failed to meet its obligations under this section, such 
     station shall notify the operator, in writing, of the alleged 
     failure and identify its reasons for believing that the cable 
     operator is obligated to carry the signal of such station or 
     has otherwise failed to comply with the channel positioning 
     or repositioning or other requirements of this section. The 
     cable operator shall, within 30 days of such written 
     notification, respond in writing to such notification and 
     either commence to carry the signal of such station in 
     accordance with the terms requested or state its reasons for 
     believing that it is not obligated to carry such signal or is 
     in compliance with the channel positioning and repositioning 
     and other requirements of this section. A local commercial 
     television station that is denied carriage or channel 
     positioning or repositioning in accordance with this section 
     by a cable operator may obtain review of such denial by 
     filing a complaint with the Commission. Such complaint shall 
     allege the manner in which such cable operator has failed to 
     meet its obligations and the basis for such allegations.
       ``(2) Opportunity to respond.--The Commission shall afford 
     such cable operator an opportunity to present data and 
     arguments to establish that there has been no failure to meet 
     its obligations under this section.
       ``(3) Remedial actions; dismissal.--Within 120 days after 
     the date a complaint is filed, the Commission shall determine 
     whether the cable operator has met its obligations under this 
     section. If the Commission determines that the cable operator 
     has failed to meet such obligations, the Commission shall 
     order the cable operator to reposition the complaining 
     station or, in the case of an obligation to carry a station, 
     to commence carriage of the station and to continue such 
     carriage for at least 12 months. If the Commission determines 
     that the cable operator has fully met the requirements of 
     this section, it shall dismiss the complaint.
       ``(e) Input Selector Switch Rules Abolished.--No cable 
     operator shall be required--
       ``(1) to provide or make available any input selector 
     switch as defined in section 76.5(mm) of title 47, Code of 
     Federal Regulations, or any comparable device; or
       ``(2) to provide information to subscribers about input 
     selector switches or comparable devices.
       ``(f) Regulations by Commission.--Within 180 days after the 
     date of enactment of this section, the Commission shall, 
     following a rulemaking proceeding, issue regulations 
     implementing the requirements imposed by this section. Such 
     implementing regulations shall include necessary revisions to 
     update section 76.51 of title 47 of the Code of Federal 
     Regulations.
       ``(g) Sales Presentations and Program Length Commercials.--
       ``(1) Carriage pending proceeding.--Pending the outcome of 
     the proceeding under paragraph (2), nothing in this Act shall 
     require a cable operator to carry on any tier, or prohibit a 
     cable operator from carrying on any tier, the signal of any 
     commercial television station or video programming service 
     that is predominantly utilized for the transmission of sales 
     presentations or program length commercials.
       ``(2) Proceeding concerning certain stations.--Within 270 
     days after the date of enactment of this section, the 
     Commission, notwithstanding prior proceedings to determine 
     whether broadcast television stations that are predominantly 
     utilized for the transmission of sales presentations or 
     program length commercials are serving the public interest, 
     convenience, and necessity, shall complete a proceeding in 
     accordance with this paragraph to determine whether broadcast 
     television stations that are predominantly utilized for the 
     transmission of sales presentations or program length 
     commercials are serving the public interest, convenience, and 
     necessity. In conducting such proceeding, the Commission 
     shall provide appropriate notice and opportunity for public 
     comment. The Commission shall consider the viewing of such 
     stations, the level of competing demands for the spectrum 
     allocated to such stations, and the role of such stations in 
     providing competition to nonbroadcast services offering 
     similar programming. In the event that the Commission 
     concludes that one or more of such stations are serving the 
     public interest, convenience, and necessity, the Commission 
     shall qualify such stations as local commercial television 
     stations for purposes of subsection (a). In the event that 
     the Commission concludes that one or more of such stations 
     are not serving the public interest, convenience, and 
     necessity, the Commission shall allow the licensees of such 
     stations a reasonable period within which to provide 
     different programming, and shall not deny such stations a 
     renewal expectancy solely because their programming consisted 
     predominantly of sales presentations or program length 
     commercials.
       ``(h) Definitions.--
       ``(1) Local commercial television station.--
       ``(A) In general.--For purposes of this section, the term 
     `local commercial television station' means any full power 
     television broadcast station, other than a qualified 
     noncommercial educational television station within the 
     meaning of section 615(l)(1), licensed and operating on a 
     channel regularly assigned to its community by the Commission 
     that, with respect to a particular cable system, is within 
     the same television market as the cable system.
       ``(B) Exclusions.--The term `local commercial television 
     station' shall not include--
       ``(i) low power television stations, television translator 
     stations, and passive repeaters which operate pursuant to 
     part 74 of title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, or any 
     successor regulations thereto;
       ``(ii) a television broadcast station that would be 
     considered a distant signal under section 111 of title 17, 
     United States Code, if such station does not agree to 
     indemnify the cable operator for any increased copyright 
     liability resulting from carriage on the cable system; or
       ``(iii) a television broadcast station that does not 
     deliver to the principal headend of a cable system either a 
     signal level of -45dBm for UHF signals or -49dBm for VHF 
     signals at the input terminals of the signal processing 
     equipment, if such station does not agree to be responsible 
     for the costs of delivering to the cable system a signal of 
     good quality or a baseband video signal.
       ``(C) Market determinations.--(i) For purposes of this 
     section, a broadcasting station's market shall be determined 
     in the manner provided in section 73.3555(d)(3)(i) of title 
     47, Code of Federal Regulations, as in effect on May 1, 1991, 
     except that, following a written request, the Commission may, 
     with respect to a particular television broadcast station, 
     include additional communities within its television market 
     or exclude communities from such station's television market 
     to better effectuate the purposes of this section. In 
     considering such requests, the Commission may determine that 
     particular communities are part of more than one television 
     market.
       ``(ii) In considering requests filed pursuant to clause 
     (i), the Commission shall afford particular attention to the 
     value of localism by taking into account such factors as--
       ``(I) whether the station, or other stations located in the 
     same area, have been historically carried on the cable system 
     or systems within such community;
       ``(II) whether the television station provides coverage or 
     other local service to such community;
       ``(III) whether any other television station that is 
     eligible to be carried by a cable system in such community in 
     fulfillment of the requirements of this section provides news 
     coverage of issues of concern to such community or provides 
     carriage or coverage of sporting and other events of interest 
     to the community; and
       ``(IV) evidence of viewing patterns in cable and noncable 
     households within the areas served by the cable system or 
     systems in such community.
       ``(iii) A cable operator shall not delete from carriage the 
     signal of a commercial television station during the pendency 
     of any proceeding pursuant to this subparagraph.
       ``(iv) In the rulemaking proceeding required by subsection 
     (f), the Commission shall provide for expedited consideration 
     of requests filed under this subparagraph.
       ``(2) Qualified low power station.--The term `qualified low 
     power station' means any television broadcast station 
     conforming to the rules established for Low Power Television 
     Stations contained in part 74 of title 47, Code of Federal 
     Regulations, only if--
       ``(A) such station broadcasts for at least the minimum 
     number of hours of operation required by the Commission for 
     television broadcast stations under part 73 of title 47, Code 
     of Federal Regulations;
       ``(B) such station meets all obligations and requirements 
     applicable to television broadcast stations under part 73 of 
     title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, with respect to the 
     broadcast of nonentertainment programming; programming and 
     rates involving political candidates, election issues, 
     controversial issues of public importance, editorials, and 
     personal attacks; programming for children; and equal 
     employment opportunity; and the Commission determines that 
     the provision of such programming by such station would 
     address local news and informational needs which are not 
     being adequately served by full power television broadcast 
     stations because of the geographic distance of such full 
     power stations from the low power station's community of 
     license,;

     the cable system's headend, and delivers to the principal 
     headend of the

     cable system an over-the-air signal of good quality, as 
     determined by the Commission;
       ``(E) the community of license of such station and the 
     franchise area of the cable system are both located outside 
     of the largest 160 Metropolitan Statistical Areas, ranked by 
     population, as determined by the Office of Management and 
     Budget on June 30, 1990, and the population of such community 
     of license on such date did not exceed 35,000; and
       ``(F) there is no full power television broadcast station 
     licensed to any community within the county or other 
     political subdivision (of a State) served by the cable 
     system.

     Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to change the 
     secondary status of any low power station as provided in part 
     74 of title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, as in effect on 
     the date of enactment of this section.''.

     SEC. 5. CARRIAGE OF NONCOMMERCIAL STATIONS.

       Part II of title VI of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 
     U.S.C. 531 et seq.) is further amended by inserting after 
     section 614 (as added by section 4 of this Act) the following 
     new section:

     ``SEC. 615. CARRIAGE OF NONCOMMERCIAL EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION.

       ``(a) Carriage Obligations.--In addition to the carriage 
     requirements set forth in section 614, each cable operator of 
     a cable system shall carry the signals of qualified 
     noncommercial educational television stations in accordance 
     with the provisions of this section.
       ``(b) Requirements To Carry Qualified Stations.--
       ``(1) General requirement to carry each qualified 
     station.--Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3) and subsection 
     (e), each cable operator shall carry, on the cable system of 
     that cable operator, any qualified local noncommercial 
     educational television station requesting carriage.
       ``(2)(A) Systems with 12 or fewer channels.--
     Notwithstanding paragraph (1), a cable operator of a cable 
     system with 12 or fewer usable activated channels shall be 
     required to carry the signal of one qualified local 
     noncommercial educational television station; except that a 
     cable operator of such a system shall comply with subsection 
     (c) and may, in its discretion, carry the signals of other 
     qualified noncommercial educational television stations.
       ``(B) In the case of a cable system described in 
     subparagraph (A) which operates beyond the presence of any 
     qualified local noncommercial educational television 
     station--
       ``(i) the cable operator shall import and carry on that 
     system the signal of one qualified noncommercial educational 
     television station;
       ``(ii) the selection for carriage of such a signal shall be 
     at the election of the cable operator; and

     specified in this subsection, the cable operator of the 
     system shall not be required to remove any other programming 
     service actually provided to subscribers on March 29, 1990; 
     except that such cable operator shall use the first channel 
     available to satisfy the requirements of this subparagraph.
       ``(3) Systems with 13 to 36 channels.--(A) Subject to 
     subsection (c), a cable operator of a cable system with 13 to 
     36 usable activated channels--
       ``(i) shall carry the signal of at least one qualified 
     local noncommercial educational television station but shall 
     not be required to carry the signals of more than three such 
     stations, and
       ``(ii) may, in its discretion, carry additional such 
     stations.
       ``(B) In the case of a cable system described in this 
     paragraph which operates beyond the presence of any qualified 
     local noncommercial educational television station, the cable 
     operator shall import and carry on that system the signal of 
     at least one qualified noncommercial educational television 
     station to comply with subparagraph (A)(i).
       ``(C) The cable operator of a cable system described in 
     this paragraph which carries the signal of a qualified local 
     noncommercial educational station affiliated with a State 
     public television network shall not be required to carry the 
     signal of any additional qualified local noncommercial 
     educational television stations affiliated with the same 
     network if the programming of such additional stations is 
     substantially duplicated by the programming of the qualified 
     local noncommercial educational television station receiving 
     carriage.
       ``(D) A cable operator of a system described in this 
     paragraph which increases the usable activated channel 
     capacity of the system to more than 36 channels on or after 
     March 29, 1990, shall, in accordance with the other 
     provisions of this section, carry the signal of each 
     qualified local noncommercial educational television station 
     requesting carriage, subject to subsection (e).
       ``(c) Continued Carriage of Existing Stations.--
     Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, all 
     cable operators shall continue to provide carriage to all 
     qualified local noncommercial educational television stations 
     whose signals were carried on their systems as of March 29, 
     1990. The requirements of this subsection may be waived with 
     respect to a particular cable operator and a particular such 
     station, upon the written consent of the cable operator and 
     the station.
       ``(d) Placement of Additional Signals.--A cable operator 
     required to add the signals of qualified local noncommercial 
     educational television stations to a cable system under this 
     section may do so, subject to approval by the franchising 
     authority pursuant to section 611, by placing such additional 
     stations on public, educational, or governmental channels not 
     in use for their designated purposes.
       ``(e) Systems With More Than 36 Channels.--A cable operator 
     of a cable system with a capacity of more than 36 usable 
     activated channels which is required to carry the signals of 
     three qualified local noncommercial educational television 
     stations shall not be required to carry the signals of 
     additional such stations the programming of which 
     substantially duplicates the programming broadcast by another 
     qualified local noncommercial educational television station 
     requesting carriage. Substantial duplication shall be defined 
     by the Commission in a manner that promotes access to 
     distinctive noncommercial educational television services.
       ``(f) Waiver of Nonduplication Rights.--A qualified local 
     noncommercial educational television station whose signal is 
     carried by a cable operator shall not assert any network 
     nonduplication rights it may have pursuant to section 76.92 
     of title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, to require the 
     deletion of programs aired on other qualified local 
     noncommercial educational television stations whose signals 
     are carried by that cable operator.
       ``(g) Conditions of Carriage.--
       ``(1) Content to be carried.--A cable operator shall 
     retransmit in its entirety the primary video, accompanying 
     audio, and line 21 closed caption transmission of each 
     qualified local noncommercial educational television station 
     whose signal is carried on the cable system, and, to the 
     extent technically feasible, program-related material carried 
     in the vertical blanking interval, or on subcarriers, that 
     may be necessary for receipt of programming by handicapped 
     persons or for educational or language purposes. 
     Retransmission of other material in the vertical blanking 
     interval or on subcarriers shall be within the discretion of 
     the cable operator.
       ``(2) Bandwidth and technical quality.--A cable operator 
     shall provide each qualified local noncommercial educational 
     television station whose signal is carried in accordance with 
     this section with bandwidth and technical capacity equivalent 
     to that provided to commercial television broadcast stations 
     carried on the cable system and shall carry the signal of 
     each qualified local noncommercial educational television 
     station without material degradation.
       ``(3) Changes in carriage.--The signal of a qualified local 
     noncommercial educational television station shall not be 
     repositioned by a cable operator unless the cable operator, 
     at least 30 days in advance of such repositioning, has 
     provided written notice to the station and all subscribers of 
     the cable system. For purposes of this paragraph, 
     repositioning includes (A) assignment of a qualified local 
     noncommercial educational television station to a cable 
     system channel number different from the cable system channel 
     number to which the station was assigned as of March 29, 
     1990, and (B) deletion of the station from the cable system. 
     The notification provisions of this paragraph shall not be 
     used to undermine or evade the channel positioning or 
     carriage requirements imposed upon cable operators under this 
     section.
       ``(4) Good quality signal required.--Notwithstanding the 
     other provisions of this section, a cable operator shall not 
     be required to carry the signal of any qualified local 
     noncommercial educational television station which does not 
     deliver to the cable system's principal headend a signal of 
     good quality or a baseband video signal, as may be defined by 
     the Commission.
       ``(5) Channel positioning.--Each signal carried in 
     fulfillment of the carriage obligations of a cable operator 
     under this section shall be carried on the cable system 
     channel number on which the qualified local noncommercial 
     educational television station is broadcast over the air, or 
     on the channel on which it was carried on July 19, 1985, at 
     the election of the station, or on such other channel number 
     as is mutually agreed upon by the station and the cable 
     operator. Any dispute regarding the positioning of a 
     qualified local noncommercial educational television station 
     shall be resolved by the Commission.
       ``(h) Availability of Signals.--Signals carried in 
     fulfillment of the carriage obligations of a cable operator 
     under this section shall be available to every subscriber as 
     part of the cable system's lowest priced service tier that 
     includes the retransmission of local commercial television 
     broadcast signals.
       ``(i) Payment for Carriage Prohibited.--
       ``(1) In general.--A cable operator shall not accept 
     monetary payment or other valuable consideration in exchange 
     for carriage of the signal of any qualified local 
     noncommercial educational television station carried in 
     fulfillment of the requirements of this section, except that 
     such a station may be required to bear the cost associated 
     with delivering a good quality signal or a baseband video 
     signal to the principal headend of the cable system.
       ``(2) Distant signal exception.--Notwithstanding the 
     provisions of this section, a cable operator shall not be 
     required to add the signal of a qualified local noncommercial 
     educational television station not already carried under the 
     provision of subsection (c), where such signal would be 
     considered a distant signal for copyright purposes unless 
     such station indemnifies the cable operator for any increased 
     copyright costs resulting from carriage of such signal.
       ``(j) Remedies.--

[[Page 1948]]

       ``(1) Complaint.--Whenever a qualified local noncommercial 
     educational television station believes that a cable operator 
     of a cable system has failed to comply with the signal 
     carriage requirements of this section, the station may file a 
     complaint with the Commission. Such complaint shall allege 
     the manner in which such cable operator has failed to comply 
     with such requirements and state the basis for such 
     allegations.
       ``(2) Opportunity to respond.--The Commission shall afford 
     such cable operator an opportunity to present data, views, 
     and arguments to establish that the cable operator has 
     complied with the signal carriage requirements of this 
     section.
       ``(3) Remedial actions; dismissal.--Within 120 days after 
     the date a complaint is filed under this subsection, the 
     Commission shall determine whether the cable operator has 
     complied with the requirements of this section. If the 
     Commission determines that the cable operator has failed to 
     comply with such requirements, the Commission shall state 
     with particularity the basis for such findings and order the 
     cable operator to take such remedial action as is necessary 
     to meet such requirements. If the Commission determines that 
     the cable operator has fully complied with such requirements, 
     the Commission shall dismiss the complaint.
       ``(k) Identification of Signals.--A cable operator shall 
     identify, upon request by any person, those signals carried 
     in fulfillment of the requirements of this section.
       ``(l) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--
       ``(1) Qualified noncommercial educational television 
     station.--The term `qualified noncommercial educational 
     television station' means any television broadcast station 
     which--
       ``(A)(i) under the rules and regulations of the Commission 
     in effect on March 29, 1990, is licensed by the Commission as 
     a noncommercial educational television broadcast station and

     foundation, corporation, or association; and
       ``(ii) has as its licensee an entity which is eligible to 
     receive a community service grant, or any successor grant 
     thereto, from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, or any

     or any successor regulations thereto, and (III) such stations 
     and translators operating on channels not so reserved as the 
     Commission determines are qualified as noncommercial 
     educational stations.
       ``(2) Qualified local noncommercial educational television 
     station.--The term `qualified local noncommercial educational 
     television station' means a qualified noncommercial

     SEC. 6. RETRANSMISSION CONSENT FOR CABLE SYSTEMS.

       (a) Amendment.--Section 325 of the Communications Act of 
     1934 (47 U.S.C. 325) is amended--
       (1) by redesignating subsections (b) and (c) as subsections 
     (c) and (d), respectively; and
       (2) by inserting immediately after subsection (a) the 
     following new subsection:
       ``(b)(1) Following the date that is one year after the date 
     of enactment of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and 
     Competition Act of 1992, no cable system or other 
     multichannel video programming distributor shall retransmit 
     the signal of a broadcasting station, or any part thereof, 
     except--
       ``(A) with the express authority of the originating 
     station; or
       ``(B) pursuant to section 614, in the case of a station 
     electing, in accordance with this subsection, to assert the 
     right to carriage under such section.
       ``(2) The provisions of this subsection shall not apply 
     to--
       ``(A) retransmission of the signal of a noncommercial 
     broadcasting station;
       ``(B) retransmission directly to a home satellite antenna 
     of the signal of a broadcasting station that is not owned or 
     operated by, or affiliated with, a broadcasting network, if 
     such signal was retransmitted by a satellite carrier on May 
     1, 1991;
       ``(C) retransmission of the signal of a broadcasting 
     station that is owned or operated by, or affiliated with, a 
     broadcasting network directly to a home satellite antenna, if 
     the household receiving the signal is an unserved household; 
     or
       ``(D) retransmission by a cable operator or other 
     multichannel video programming distributor of the signal of a 
     superstation if such signal was obtained from a satellite 
     carrier and the originating station was a superstation on May 
     1, 1991.

     For purposes of this paragraph, the terms `satellite 
     carrier', `superstation', and `unserved household' have the 
     meanings given those terms, respectively, in section 119(d) 
     of title 17, United States Code, as in effect on the date of 
     enactment of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and 
     Competition Act of 1992.
       ``(3)(A) Within 45 days after the date of enactment of the 
     Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 
     1992, the Commission shall commence a rulemaking proceeding 
     to establish regulations to govern the exercise by television 
     broadcast stations of the right to grant retransmission 
     consent under this subsection and of the right to signal 
     carriage under section 614, and such other regulations as are 
     necessary to administer the limitations contained in 
     paragraph (2). The Commission shall consider in such 
     proceeding the impact that the grant of retransmission 
     consent by television stations may have on the rates for the 
     basic service tier and shall ensure that the regulations 
     prescribed under this subsection do not conflict with the 
     Commission's obligation under section 623(b)(1) to ensure 
     that the rates for the basic service tier are reasonable. 
     Such rulemaking proceeding shall be completed within 180 days 
     after the date of enactment of the Cable Television Consumer 
     Protection and Competition Act of 1992.
       ``(B) The regulations required by subparagraph (A) shall 
     require that television stations, within one year after the 
     date of enactment of the Cable Television Consumer Protection 
     and Competition Act of 1992 and every three years thereafter, 
     make an election between the right to grant retransmission 
     consent under this subsection and the right to signal 
     carriage under section 614. If there is more than one cable 
     system which services the same geographic area, a station's 
     election shall apply to all such cable systems.
       ``(4) If an originating television station elects under 
     paragraph (3)(B) to exercise its right to grant 
     retransmission consent under this subsection with respect to 
     a cable system, the provisions of section 614 shall not apply 
     to the carriage of the signal of such station by such cable 
     system.
       ``(5) The exercise by a television broadcast station of the 
     right to grant retransmission consent under this subsection 
     shall not interfere with or supersede the rights under 
     section 614 or 615 of any station electing to assert the 
     right to signal carriage under that section.
       ``(6) Nothing in this section shall be construed as 
     modifying the compulsory copyright license established in 
     section 111 of title 17, United States Code, or as affecting 
     existing or future video programming licensing agreements 
     between broadcasting stations and video programmers.''.

     franchising authority may appeal such final decision pursuant 
     to the provisions of section 635 for failure to comply with 
     this subsection''.

     SEC. 9. LEASED COMMERCIAL ACCESS.

       (a) Purpose.--Section 612(a) of the Communications Act of 
     1934 (47 U.S.C. 532(a)) is amended by inserting ``to promote 
     competition in the delivery of diverse sources of video

     Qualified Educational Programming Sources.--Section 612 of 
     such Act (47 U.S.C. 532) is amended by adding at the end

     such channel capacity for the provision of programming from a 
     qualified minority programming source or from any qualified 
     educational programming source, whether or not such source is 
     affiliated with the cable operator. The channel capacity used 
     to provide programming from a qualified minority programming 
     source or from any qualified educational programming source 
     pursuant to this subsection may not exceed 33 percent of the 
     channel capacity designated pursuant to this section. No 
     programming provided over a cable system on July 1, 1990, may

     that cable system under this subsection.
       ``(2) For purposes of this subsection, the term `qualified 
     minority programming source' means a programming source which 
     devotes substantially all of its programming to coverage of 
     minority viewpoints, or to programming directed at members of 
     minority groups, and which is over 50 percent minority-owned,

     educational programming source' means a programming source 
     which devotes substantially all of its programming to

     understanding of mathematics, the sciences, the humanities, 
     and the arts and has a documented annual expenditure on 
     programming exceeding $15,000,000. The annual expenditure on 
     programming means all annual costs incurred by the 
     programming source to produce or acquire programs which are 
     scheduled to be televised, and specifically excludes 
     marketing, promotion, satellite transmission and operational 
     costs, and general administrative costs.
       ``(4) Nothing in this subsection shall substitute for the 
     requirements to carry qualified noncommercial educational 
     television stations as specified under section 615.''.
       (d) Conforming Amendment.--Paragraph (5) of section 612(b) 
     of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 532(b)) is

     prospectively a written and published policy of prohibiting 
     programming that the cable operator reasonably believes 
     describes or depicts sexual or excretory activities or organs 
     in a patently offensive manner as measured by contemporary 
     community standards.''.
       (b) Commission Regulations.--Section 612 of the 
     Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 532) is amended by 
     inserting after subsection (i) (as added by section 9(c) of 
     this Act) the following new subsection:
       ``(j)(1) Within 120 days following the date of the 
     enactment of this subsection, the Commission shall promulgate 
     regulations designed to limit the access of children to 
     indecent programming, as defined by Commission regulations, 
     and which cable operators have not voluntarily prohibited 
     under subsection (h) by--
       ``(A) requiring cable operators to place on a single 
     channel all indecent programs, as identified by program 
     providers, intended for carriage on channels designated for 
     commercial use under this section;

     the program would be indecent as defined by Commission 
     regulations.
       ``(2) Cable operators shall comply with the regulations 
     promulgated pursuant to paragraph (1).''.
       (c) Prohibits System Use.--Within 180 days following the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, the Federal Communications 
     Commission shall promulgate such regulations as may be 
     necessary to enable a cable operator of a cable system to 
     prohibit the use, on such system, of any channel capacity of 
     any public, educational, or governmental access facility for 
     any programming which contains obscene material, sexually 
     explicit conduct, or material soliciting or promoting 
     unlawful conduct.
       (d) Conforming Amendment.--Section 638 of the 
     Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 558) is amended by 
     striking the period at the end and inserting the following:

     license for multichannel multipoint distribution service, or 
     to offer satellite master antenna television service separate 
     and apart from any franchised cable service, in any portion 
     of the franchise area served by that cable operator's cable 
     system. The Commission--
       ``(A) shall waive the requirements of this paragraph for 
     all existing multichannel multipoint distribution services 
     and satellite master antenna television services which are 
     owned by a cable operator on the date of enactment of this

     media''; and
       (2) by adding at the end thereof the following: ``Nothing 
     in this section shall be construed to prevent any State or 
     franchising authority from prohibiting the ownership or 
     control of a cable system in a jurisdiction by any person (1) 
     because of such person's ownership or control of any other 
     cable system in such jurisdiction; or (2) in circumstances in 
     which the State or franchising authority determines that the 
     acquisition of such a cable system may eliminate or reduce 
     competition in the delivery of cable service in such 
     jurisdiction.''.

     Commission shall, within one year after the date of enactment 
     of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition 
     Act of 1992, conduct a proceeding--
       ``(A) to prescribe rules and regulations establishing

     (1), the Commission shall, among other public interest 
     objectives--

     of any Federal agency, any State or political subdivision 
     thereof, or any franchising authority; or
       ``(3) any sale, assignment, or transfer, to one or more 
     purchasers, assignees, or transferees controlled by, 
     controlling, or under common control with, the seller, 
     assignor, or transferor.
       ``(d) Waiver Authority.--The Commission may, consistent 
     with the public interest, waive the requirement of subsection 
     (a), except that, if the franchise requires franchise 
     authority approval of a transfer, the Commission shall not 
     waive such requirements unless the franchise authority has 
     approved the transfer. The Commission shall use its authority 
     under this subsection to permit appropriate transfers in the 
     cases of default, foreclosure, or other financial distress.

     To Disapprove Transfers.--In the case of any sale or transfer 
     of ownership of any cable system after the 36-month period 
     following acquisition of such system, a franchising authority 
     shall, if the franchise requires franchising authority 
     approval of a sale or transfer, have 120 days to act upon any 
     request for approval of such sale or transfer that contains 
     or is accompanied by such information as is required in 
     accordance with Commission regulations and by the franchising 
     authority. If the franchising authority fails to render a 
     final decision on the request within 120 days, such request 
     shall be deemed granted unless the requesting party and the 
     franchising authority agree to an extension of time.''.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) new and recent models of television receivers and 
     video cassette recorders often contain premium features and 
     functions that are disabled or inhibited because of cable 
     scrambling, encoding, or encryption technologies and devices, 
     including converter boxes and remote control devices required 
     by cable operators to receive programming;
       ``(2) if these problems are allowed to persist, consumers 
     will be less likely to purchase, and electronics equipment 
     manufacturers will be less likely to develop, manufacture, or 
     offer for sale, television receivers and video cassette 
     recorders with new and innovative features and functions; and
       ``(3) cable operators should use technologies that will 
     prevent signal thefts while permitting consumers to benefit 
     from such features and functions in such receivers and 
     recorders.
       ``(b) Compatible Interfaces.--
       ``(1) Report; regulations.--Within 1 year after the date of 
     enactment of this section, the Commission, in consultation 
     with representatives of the cable industry and the consumer 
     electronics industry, shall report to Congress on means of 
     assuring compatibility between televisions and video cassette 
     recorders and cable systems, consistent with the need to 
     prevent theft of cable service, so that cable subscribers 
     will be able to enjoy the full benefit of both the 
     programming available on cable systems and the functions 
     available on their televisions and video cassette recorders. 
     Within 180 days after the date of submission of the report 
     required by this subsection, the Commission shall issue such 
     regulations as are necessary to assure such compatibility.
       ``(2) Scrambling and encryption.--In issuing the 
     regulations referred to in paragraph (1), the Commission 
     shall determine whether and, if so, under what circumstances 
     to permit cable systems to scramble or encrypt signals or to 
     restrict cable systems in the manner in which they encrypt or 
     scramble signals, except that the Commission shall not limit 
     the use of scrambling or encryption technology where the use 
     of such technology does not interfere with the functions of 
     subscribers' television receivers or video cassette 
     recorders.
       ``(c) Rulemaking Requirements.--
       ``(1) Factors to be considered.--In prescribing the 
     regulations required by this section, the Commission shall 
     consider--
       ``(A) the costs and benefits to consumers of imposing 
     compatibility requirements on cable operators and television 
     manufacturers in a manner that, while providing effective 
     protection against theft or unauthorized reception of cable 
     service, will minimize interference with or nullification of 
     the special functions of subscribers' television receivers or 
     video cassette recorders, including functions that permit the 
     subscriber--
       ``(i) to watch a program on one channel while 
     simultaneously using a video cassette recorder to tape a 
     program on another channel;
       ``(ii) to use a video cassette recorder to tape two 
     consecutive programs that appear on different channels; and
       ``(iii) to use advanced television picture generation and 
     display features; and
       ``(B) the need for cable operators to protect the integrity 
     of the signals transmitted by the cable operator against 
     theft or to protect such signals against unauthorized 
     reception.
       ``(2) Regulations required.--The regulations prescribed by 
     the Commission under this section shall include such 
     regulations as are necessary--
       ``(A) to specify the technical requirements with which a 
     television receiver or video cassette recorder must comply in 
     order to be sold as `cable compatible' or `cable ready';
       ``(B) to require cable operators offering channels whose 
     reception requires a converter box--
       ``(i) to notify subscribers that they may be unable to 
     benefit from the special functions of their television 
     receivers and video cassette recorders, including functions 
     that permit subscribers--

       ``(I) to watch a program on one channel while 
     simultaneously using a video cassette recorder to tape a 
     program on another channel;
       ``(II) to use a video cassette recorder to tape two 
     consecutive programs that appear on different channels; and
       ``(III) to use advanced television picture generation and 
     display features; and

       ``(ii) to the extent technically and economically feasible, 
     to offer subscribers the option of having all other channels 
     delivered directly to the subscribers' television receivers 
     or video cassette recorders without passing through the 
     converter box;
       ``(C) to promote the commercial availability, from cable 
     operators and retail vendors that are not affiliated with 
     cable systems, of converter boxes and of remote control 
     devices compatible with converter boxes;
       ``(D) to require a cable operator who offers subscribers 
     the option of renting a remote control unit--
       ``(i) to notify subscribers that they may purchase a 
     commercially available remote control device from any source 
     that sells such devices rather than renting it from the cable 
     operator; and
       ``(ii) to specify the types of remote control units that 
     are compatible with the converter box supplied by the cable 
     operator; and
       ``(E) to prohibit a cable operator from taking any action 
     that prevents or in any way disables the converter box 
     supplied by the cable operator from operating compatibly with 
     commercially available remote control units.
       ``(d) Review of Regulations.--The Commission shall 
     periodically review and, if necessary, modify the regulations 
     issued pursuant to this section in light of any actions taken 
     in response to such regulations and to reflect improvements 
     and changes in cable systems, television receivers, video 
     cassette recorders, and similar technology.''.

     commencement of such a proceeding, the franchising authority 
     shall commence such a proceeding not later than 6 months 
     after the date such notice is submitted.
       ``(2) The cable operator may not invoke the renewal 
     procedures set forth in subsections (b) through (g) unless--
       ``(A) such a proceeding is requested by the cable operator 
     by timely submission of such notice; or
       ``(B) such a proceeding is commenced by the franchising 
     authority on its own initiative.''.
       (b) Proceeding on Renewal Proposal.--Section 626(c)(1) of 
     the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 546(c)(1)) is

     ``mix or quality''.
       (d) Correction of Failures.--Section 626(d) of the 
     Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 546(d)) is amended--
       (1) by inserting ``that has been submitted in compliance 
     with subsection (b)'' after ``Any denial of a proposal for 
     renewal''; and
       (2) by striking ``or has effectively acquiesced'' and 
     inserting ``or the cable operator gives written notice of a 
     failure or inability to cure and the franchising authority 
     fails to object within a reasonable time after receipt of 
     such notice''.
       (e) Harmless Error.-- Section 626(e)(2)(A) of the 
     Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 546(e)(2)(A)) is

     contracts.--In determining whether an exclusive contract is 
     in the public interest for purposes of paragraph (2)(D), the 
     Commission shall consider each of the following factors with 
     respect to the effect of such contract on the distribution of 
     video programming in areas that are served by a cable

     paragraph (2)(D) shall cease to be effective 10 years after 
     the date of enactment of this section, unless the Commission 
     finds, in a proceeding conducted during the last year of such 
     10-year period, that such prohibition continues to be 
     necessary to preserve and protect competition and diversity 
     in the distribution of video programming.
       ``(d) Adjudicatory Proceeding.--Any multichannel video 
     programming distributor aggrieved by conduct that it alleges 
     constitutes a violation of subsection (b), or the regulations

     SEC. 22. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds and declares that--
       (1) despite the existence of regulations governing equal 
     employment opportunity, females and minorities are not 
     employed in significant numbers in positions of management 
     authority in the cable and broadcast television industries;
       (2) increased numbers of females and minorities in 
     positions of management authority in the cable and broadcast 
     television industries advances the Nation's policy favoring 
     diversity in the expression of views in the electronic media; 
     and
       (3) rigorous enforcement of equal employment opportunity 
     rules and regulations is required in order to effectively 
     deter racial and gender discrimination.
       (b) Standards.--Section 634(d)(1) of the Communication Act 
     of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 554(d)(1)) is amended to read as follows:

     enactment of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and 
     Competition Act of 1992, and after notice and opportunity for 
     hearing, the Commission shall prescribe revisions in the 
     rules under this section in order to implement the amendments 
     made to this section by such Act. Such revisions shall be 
     designed to promote equality of employment opportunities for 
     females and minorities in each of the job categories itemized 
     in paragraph (3).''.
       (c) Contents of Annual Statistical Reports.--Section 
     634(d)(3) of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 
     554(d)(3)) is amended to read as follows:

     in subsection (a) with more than 5 full-time employees to

     identifying by race, sex, and job title the number of 
     employees in each of the following full-time and part-time 
     job categories:

       ``(B) The report required by subparagraph (A) shall be made 
     on separate forms, provided by the Commission, for full-time 
     and part-time employees. The Commission's rules shall 
     sufficiently define the job categories listed in clauses (i) 
     through (vi) of such subparagraph so as to ensure that only 
     employees who are principal decisionmakers and who have 
     supervisory authority are reported for such categories. The 
     Commission shall adopt rules that define the job categories 
     listed in clauses (vii) through (xv) in a manner that is 
     consistent with the Commission policies in effect on June 1, 
     1990. The Commission shall prescribe the method by which 
     entities shall be required to compute and report the number 
     of minorities and women in the job categories listed in 
     clauses (i) through (x) and the number of minorities and 
     women in the job categories listed in clauses (i) through 
     (xv) in proportion to the total number of qualified 
     minorities and women in the relevant labor market. The report 
     shall include information on hiring, promotion, and 
     recruitment practices necessary for the Commission to 
     evaluate the efforts of entities to comply with the 
     provisions of paragraph (2) of this subsection. The report 
     shall be available for public inspection at the entity's 
     central location and at every location where 5 or more full-
     time employees are regularly assigned to work. Nothing in 
     this subsection shall be construed as prohibiting the 
     Commission from collecting or continuing to collect 
     statistical or other employment information in a manner that 
     it deems appropriate to carry out this section.''.
       (d) Penalties.--Section 634(f)(2) of such Act (47 U.S.C. 
     554(f)(2)) is amended by striking ``$200'' and inserting 
     ``$500''.
       (e) Application of Requirements.--Section 634(h)(1) of such 
     Act (47 U.S.C. 554(h)(1)) is amended by inserting before the 
     period the following: ``and any multichannel video 
     programming distributor''.
       (f) Broadcasting Equal Employment Opportunity.--Part I of 
     title III of the Communications Act of 1934 is amended by 
     inserting after section 333 (47 U.S.C. 333) the following new 
     section:

     ``SEC. 334. LIMITATION ON REVISION OF EQUAL EMPLOYMENT 
                   OPPORTUNITY REGULATIONS.

     opportunity as in effect on September 1, 1992 (47 C.F.R. 
     73.2080) as such regulations apply to television broadcast 
     station licensees and permittees; or
       ``(2) the forms used by such licensees and permittees to 
     report pertinent employment data to the Commission.
       ``(b) Midterm review.--The Commission shall revise the 
     regulations described in subsection (a) to require a midterm 
     review of television broadcast station licensees' employment 
     practices and to require the Commission to inform such 
     licensees of necessary improvements in recruitment practices 
     identified as a consequence of such review.
       ``(c) Authority to Make Technical Revisions.--The 
     Commission may revise the regulations described in subsection 
     (a) to make nonsubstantive technical or clerical revisions in 
     such regulations as necessary to reflect changes in 
     technology, terminology, or Commission organization.''.
       (g) Study and Report Required.--Not later than 2 years 
     after the date of enactment of this Act, the Commission shall 
     submit to the Congress a report pursuant to a proceeding to 
     review and obtain public comment on the effect and operation 
     of the amendments made by this section. In conducting such 
     review, the Commission shall consider the effectiveness of 
     its procedures, regulations, policies, standards, and 
     guidelines in promoting equality of employment opportunity 
     and promotion opportunity, and particularly the effectiveness 
     of its procedures, regulations, policies, standards, and 
     guidelines in promoting the congressional policy favoring 
     increased employment opportunity for women and minorities in 
     positions of management authority. The Commission shall 
     forward to the Congress such legislative recommendations to 
     improve equal employment opportunity in the broadcasting and 
     cable industries as it deems necessary.

     SEC. 23. JUDICIAL REVIEW.

       Section 635 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 
     555) is amended by adding at the end the following new

     a district court of three judges convened pursuant to the

     court of three judges in an action under paragraph (1) 
     holding section 614 or 615 of this Act or any provision 
     thereof unconstitutional shall be reviewable as a matter of 
     right by direct appeal to the Supreme Court. Any such appeal 
     shall be filed not more than 20 days after entry of such 
     judgment, decree, or order.''.

     to appeal, to be in violation of a cable operator's rights.
       ``(c) Discrimination Claims Permitted.--Nothing in this 
     section shall be construed as limiting the relief authorized

     enactment of this section, initiate a rulemaking proceeding 
     to impose, on providers of direct broadcast satellite 
     service, public interest or other requirements for providing 
     video programming. Any regulations prescribed pursuant to 
     such rulemaking shall, at a minimum, apply the access to 
     broadcast time requirement of section 312(a)(7) and the use 
     of facilities requirements of section 315 to providers of

     portion of its channel capacity, equal to not less than 4 
     percent nor more than 7 percent, exclusively for 
     noncommercial programming of an educational or informational 
     nature.
       ``(2) Use of unused channel capacity.--A provider of such 
     service may utilize for any purpose any unused channel 
     capacity required to be reserved under this subsection 
     pending the actual use of such channel capacity for 
     noncommercial programming of an educational or informational 
     nature.
       ``(3) Prices, terms, and conditions; editorial control.--A 
     provider of direct broadcast satellite service shall meet the 
     requirements of this subsection by making channel capacity 
     available to national educational programming suppliers, upon 
     reasonable prices, terms, and conditions, as determined by 
     the Commission under paragraph (4). The provider of direct 
     broadcast satellite service shall not exercise any editorial 
     control over any video programming provided pursuant to this 
     subsection.
       ``(4) Limitations.--In determining reasonable prices under 
     paragraph (3)--
       ``(A) the Commission shall take into account the nonprofit 
     character of the programming provider and any Federal funds 
     used to support such programming;

     exceed, for any channel made available under this subsection, 
     50 percent of the total direct costs of making such channel

     similar overhead costs of the provider of direct broadcast 
     satellite service; and
       ``(ii) the revenue that such provider might have obtained 
     by making such channel available to a commercial provider of 
     video programming.
       ``(5) Definitions.--For purposes of this subsection--
       ``(A) The term `provider of direct broadcast satellite 
     service' means--
       ``(i) a licensee for a Ku-band satellite system under part 
     100 of title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations; or
       ``(ii) any distributor who controls a minimum number of 
     channels (as specified by Commission regulation) using a Ku-
     band fixed service satellite system for the provision of 
     video programming directly to the home and licensed under 
     part 25 of title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
       ``(B) The term `national educational programming supplier'

     stations, cable programming networks, and pay-per-view 
     services. The study shall investigate and analyze, on a 
     sport-by-sport basis, trends in the migration of such 
     programming from carriage by broadcast stations to carriage 
     over cable programming networks and pay-per-view systems, 
     including the economic causes and the economic and social 
     consequences of such trends.
       (b) Report on study.--The Federal Communications Commission 
     shall, on or before July 1, 1993, and July 1, 1994, submit an 
     interim and a final report, respectively, on the results of 
     the study required by subsection (a) to the Committee on 
     Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives and the 
     Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the 
     Senate. Such reports shall include a statement of the 
     results, on a sport-by-sport basis, of the analysis of the 
     trends required by subsection (a) and such legislative or 
     regulatory recommendations as the Commission considers 
     appropriate.
       (c) Analysis of Preclusive Contracts Required.--
       (1) Analysis required.--In conducting the study required by 
     subsection (a), the Commission shall analyze the extent to 
     which preclusive contracts between college athletic 
     conferences and video programming vendors have artificially 
     and unfairly restricted the supply of the sporting events of 
     local colleges for broadcast on local television stations. In 
     conducting such analysis, the Commission shall consult with 
     the Attorney General to determine whether and to what extent 
     such preclusive contracts are prohibited by existing 
     statutes. The reports required by subsection (b) shall 
     include separate statements of the results of the analysis 
     required by this subsection, together with such 
     recommendations for legislation as the Commission considers 
     necessary and appropriate.
       (2) Definition.--For purposes of the subsection, the term 
     ``preclusive contract'' includes any contract that 
     prohibits--
       (A) the live broadcast by a local television station of a 
     sporting event of a local college team that is not carried, 
     on a live basis, by any cable system within the local 
     community served by such local television station; or
       (B) the delayed broadcast by a local television station of 
     a sporting event of a local college team that is not carried, 
     on a live or delayed basis, by any cable system within the 
     local community served by such local television station.

     SEC. 27. APPLICABILITY OF ANTITRUST LAWS.

       Nothing in this Act or the amendments made by this Act

       For nuclear waste disposal activities to carry out the 
     purposes of Public Law 97-425, as amended, including the 
     acquisition of real property or facility construction or 
     expansion, $275,071,000, to remain available until expended, 
     to be derived from the Nuclear Waste Fund. To the extent that 
     balances in the fund are not sufficient to cover amounts 
     available for obligation in the account, the Secretary shall 
     exercise his authority pursuant to section 302(e)(5) of said 
     Act to issue obligations to the Secretary of the Treasury: 
     Provided, That of the amount herein appropriated, within 
     available funds, not to exceed $5,000,000 may be provided to 
     the State of Nevada, for the sole purpose in the conduct of 
     its oversight responsibilities pursuant to the Nuclear Waste 
     Policy Act of 1982, Public Law 97-425, as amended: Provided 
     further, That of the amount herein appropriated, not more 
     than $6,000,000 may be provided to affected local 
     governments, as defined in the Act, to conduct appropriate 
     activities pursuant to the Act: Provided further, That the 
     distribution of the funds herein provided among the affected 
     units of local government shall be determined by the 
     Department of Energy (DOE) and made available to the State 
     and affected units of local government by direct payment: 
     Provided further, That within 90 days of the completion of 
     each Federal fiscal year, each entity shall provide 
     certification to the DOE, that all funds expended from such 
     direct payment monies have been expended for activities as 
     defined in Public Law 97-425, as amended. Failure to provide 
     such certification shall cause such entity to be prohibited 
     from any further funding provided for similar activities: 
     Provided further, That none of the funds herein appropriated 
     may be used directly or indirectly to influence legislative 
     action on any matter pending before Congress or a State 
     legislature or for any lobbying activity as provided in 18 
     U.S.C. 1913: Provided further, That none of the funds herein 
     appropriated may be used for litigation expenses: Provided 
     further, That grant funds are not to be used to support 
     multistate efforts or other coalition building activities 
     inconsistent with the restrictions contained in this Act: 
     Provided further, That of the amount appropriated herein, up 
     to $3,700,000 shall be available for infrastructure studies 
     and other research and development work to be carried out by 
     the Universities in Nevada, Reno, and Las Vegas, and the 
     Desert Research Institute, and at least $750,000 to continue 
     funding for the Mobile Sampling Platform developed and 
     operated by the Environmental Research Center at the 
     University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Funding to the universities 
     will be administered by the DOE through a cooperative 
     agreement.
       In paying the amounts determined to be appropriate as a 
     result of the decision in Consolidated Edison Company of New 
     York v. Department of Energy 870 F.2d 694 (D.C. Cir. 1989), 
     the Department of Energy shall pay interest at a rate to be 
     determined by the Secretary of the Treasury and calculated 
     from the date the amounts were deposited into the Nuclear 
     Waste Fund. Such payments may be made by credits to future 
     utility payments into the Fund.

Para. 108.5  privileges of the house

  Mr. COMBEST rose to a question of the privileges of the House and 
submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 572):

       Whereas on March 2, 1992, Representative Henry B. Gonzalez 
     knowingly and willfully inserted in the Congressional Record 
     documents of the Executive Branch bearing markings, 
     indicating that they were classified for reasons of national 
     security;
       Whereas on July 7, 1992, Representative Gonzalez willfully 
     disclosed information from a purported Central Intelligence 
     Agency intelligence document which he publicly acknowledged 
     at that time to be classified;
       Whereas on September 14, 1992, Representative Gonzalez 
     willfully disclosed information from a Central Intelligence 
     Agency document classified as ``Secret'' in its entirety, 
     which he acknowledged is still classified;
       Whereas the Director of Central Intelligence, Robert M. 
     Gates, has indicated in writing that Representative 
     Gonzalez's ``statement in the Congressional Record on 7 July 
     1992 included information from TOP SECRET compartmented and 
     particularly sensitive document'' to which the Central 
     Intelligence Agency had given his commitment staff access;
       Whereas the Director of Central Intelligence further stated 
     in writing to Representative Gonzalez, regarding his July 7, 
     1992, statement in the Congressional Record, that, ``Because 
     of the sources and methods under that information, I will ask 
     for a damage assessment to determine the impact of the 
     disclosure. I regret that you chose to discuss information 
     from classified documents without attempting to determine if 
     we could work out a way to satisfy . . .  our need to protect 
     intelligence sources and methods'';
       Whereas the Acting Director of Central Intelligence, 
     Admiral William O. Studeman, has confirmed in writing to 
     Representative Gonzalez that portions of statements in the 
     Congressional Record by Representative Gonzalez on July 21 
     and 27, 1992, ``were drawn from classified intelligence 
     documents, some of which are Top Secret, compartmented, and 
     particularly sensitive'';

[[Page 1965]]

       Whereas the Acting Director of Central Intelligence has 
     stated in writing to Representative Gonzalez, regarding this 
     statements in the Congressional Records of July 21 and 27, 
     1992, that, ``I have asked the Office of Security of the 
     Central Intelligence Agency to undertake a review of your 
     statements in order to determine the impact of the 
     disclosures of intelligence information on intelligence 
     sources and methods'';
       Whereas the Department of State has confirmed in writing 
     that, over a number of days, Representative Gonzalez 
     ``inserted into the Congressional Record the full text of at 
     least fourteen classified documents generated by the 
     Department of State,'' and the Department of State indicated 
     further that those documents ``contain classified information 
     involving sensitive diplomatic discussions'';
       Whereas the Treasury Department has indicated in writing 
     ``very serious concerns'' over Representative Gonzalez's 
     ``disclosures of classified information in the Congressional 
     Record'' which included information from a classified 
     Treasury Department document;
       Whereas on numerous other occasions Representative Gonzalez 
     has knowingly and willfully disclosed in the Congressional 
     Record information from Executive Branch documents which are 
     apparently classified for reasons of national security;
       Whereas the classified documents in question were 
     apparently made available to the Committee on Banking, 
     Finance and Urban Affairs by Executive Branch agencies in 
     good faith cooperation with a committee investigation and 
     with the expectation that access would be restricted to 
     persons with appropriate security clearances;
       Whereas the public disclosure of information from the 
     classified documents in question was not necessary for 
     legitimate legislative oversight, and the Committee on 
     Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs apparently has not voted 
     to disclose publicly those classified documents;
       Whereas the public disclosure of the contents of the 
     classified documents in question appears to be detrimental to 
     the national security and foreign policy interests of the 
     United States;
       Whereas the conduct of Representative Gonzalez raises 
     serious questions of possible violations of Clauses 1 and 2 
     of Rule XLIII (Code of Official Conduct) and possibly of 
     Clause 2(k)(7) of Rule XI' (Rules of Procedures for 
     Committees) of the House;
       Whereas the knowing, unilateral and unauthorized disclosure 
     of classified information by Representative Gonzalez 
     seriously imperils the spirit of mutual cooperation and trust 
     between the Congress and the Executive Branch so critical to 
     effective legislative oversight;
       Whereas the nature and gravity of the conduct of 
     Representative Gonzalez is such that the reputation and 
     dignity of the House as an institution and the integrity of 
     its proceedings, especially its oversight activities, may 
     well be adversely affected;
       Whereas Representative Gonzalez willfully continues to 
     disclose publicly information from classified documents; and
       Whereas in the interest of a prompt and fair resolution of 
     the serious questions raised regarding the apparent 
     unauthorized disclosure of classified information in seeming 
     violation of the Rules of the House of Representatives: Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct is directed to investigate whether Representative 
     Gonzalez has, during the Second Session of the One Hundred 
     and Second Congress, publicly disclosed classified 
     information in the Congressional Record, and in so doing 
     violated the Rules of the House of Representatives or any 
     duly constituted committees. All other committees, and all 
     Members, officers, or employees of the House who may have 
     information relevant to this investigation are directed to 
     cooperate promptly with the Committee on Standards subject to 
     procedures the Committee shall adopt necessary to protect 
     from unauthorized disclosure classified information which may 
     be transmitted to the Committee pursuant to this 
     investigation. The Committee on Standards of Official Conduct 
     shall promptly report its findings and any recommendations to 
     the House.

  The SPEAKER ruled that the resolution submitted did present a question 
of the privileges of the House under rule IX.
  Mr. BONIOR moved to lay the resolution on the table.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House lay the resolution on the table?
  The SPEAKER announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. COMBEST demanded that the vote be taken by the yeas and nays, 
which demand was supported by one-fifth of the Members present, so the 
yeas and nays were ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device.

It was decided in the

     the contamination of workers' homes with hazardous chemicals 
     and substances, including infectious agents, transported from 
     the workplaces of such workers'.
       (B) Matters to be evaluated.--In conducting the study and 
     evaluation under subparagraph (A), the Director shall--
       (i) conduct a review of past incidents of home

     incidents;
       (II) the health effects, if any, of the resulting exposure 
     on workers and their families;

     laundry procedures for removing hazardous materials and 
     agents from workers' homes and personal clothing;
       (IV) indoor air quality, as the research concerning such 
     pertains to the fate of chemicals transported from a 
     workplace into the home environment; and
       (V) methods for differentiating exposure health effects and 
     relative risks associated with specific agents from other 
     sources of exposure inside and outside the home;

       (iv) identify the role of Federal and State agencies in

Para. 110.4  conditional mfn for china

  Mr. ROSTENKOWSKI moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 5318) regarding the extension 
of the most-favored-nation treatment to the products of the People's 
Republic of China, and for other purposes:

       Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``United States-China Act of 
     1992''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND POLICY.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On June 4, 1989, thousands of Chinese citizens 
     courageously demonstrated that they were prepared to risk 
     their lives and futures in pursuit of democratic freedom and 
     respect for human rights.
       (2) Despite this massive outpouring of desire for self-
     determination and observance of fundamental principles of 
     human rights, the Government of the People's Republic of 
     China, a member of the United Nations Security Council 
     obligated to respect and uphold the United Nations charter 
     and Universal Declaration of Human Rights, continues to 
     flagrantly violate internationally recognized standards of 
     human rights, including--
       (A) torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or 
     punishment;
       (B) arbitrary arrest, unacknowledged detention without 
     charges and trial, and jailing of persons solely for the 
     nonviolent expression of their political views; and
       (C) use of prison labor to produce cheap products for 
     export to countries, including the United States, in 
     violation of international labor treaties and United States 
     law.
       (3) The Government of the People's Republic of China 
     continues to deny Chinese citizens who have supported the 
     prodemocracy movement and others, the right of free 
     emigration despite having given a pledge to the Secretary of 
     State to do so during his visit last year to China.
       (4) The Government of the People's Republic of China 
     continues to use army and police forces to intimidate and 
     repress the Tibetan people who nonviolently seek political 
     and religious freedom.
       (5) The Government of the People's Republic of China 
     continues to engage in unfair trade practices against the 
     United States by raising tariffs, employing taxes as a 
     surcharge on tariffs, using discriminatory customs rates, 
     imposing import quotas and other quantitative restrictions, 
     barring the importation of some items, using licensing and 
     testing requirements to limit imports, and falsifying country 
     of origin documentation to transship textiles and other items 
     to the United States through Hong Kong and third countries.
       (6) Although the Government of the People's Republic of 
     China has pledged to adhere to the guidelines and parameters 
     of the Missile Technology Control Regime, there are 
     continuing reports of Chinese transfers of missile technology 
     controlled by such regime to the Middle East, Africa, and 
     Asia.
       (7) The Government of the People's Republic of China 
     continues to unjustly restrict and imprison religious leaders 
     who do not adhere to the dogma and control of state-sponsored 
     religious organizations.
       (8) It is the policy and practice of the Government of the 
     People's Republic of China's Communist Party to control all 
     trade unions and suppress and harass members of the 
     independent labor union movement.
       (9) The Government of the People's Republic of China 
     continues to harass and restrict the activities of accredited 
     journalists and restrict broadcasts by the Voice of America.
       (b) Policy.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) with respect to the actions of the People's Republic of 
     China in the areas of human rights, weapons proliferation, 
     and unfair trade practices the President should take such 
     actions as necessary to achieve the purposes of this Act, 
     including but not limited to--
       (A) directing the United States Trade Representative to 
     investigate and take necessary and appropriate action 
     pursuant to section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 with respect 
     to the continuing unfair trade practices of the People's 
     Republic of China which are determined to be discriminatory, 
     and which unreasonably restrict United States commerce; and
       (B) encouraging members of the Missile Technology Control 
     Regime and other countries as appropriate, to develop a 
     common policy concerning the People's Republic of China's 
     transfer of missile technology to other countries;
       (2) the sanctions being applied against the People's 
     Republic of China on the date of the enactment of this Act 
     should be continued and strictly enforced; and
       (3) the President should direct the Secretary of Commerce 
     to consult with leaders of American businesses who have 
     significant trade or investments in the People's Republic of 
     China, to encourage them to adopt a code of conduct which--
       (A) follows basic internationally recognized human rights 
     principles,
       (B) seeks to ensure that the employment of Chinese citizens 
     is not discriminatory in terms of sex, ethnic origin, or 
     political belief,
       (C) does not knowingly use prison labor,
       (D) recognizes workers' rights to organize and bargain 
     collectively, and
       (E) discourages mandatory political indoctrination on 
     business sites.

     SEC. 3. MINIMUM STANDARDS WHICH THE GOVERNMENT OF THE 
                   PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA MUST MEET TO 
                   CONTINUE TO RECEIVE NONDISCRIMINATORY MOST-
                   FAVORED-NATION TREATMENT.

       Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the President 
     may not recommend the continuation of a waiver for a 12-month 
     period beginning July 3, 1993, under section 402(d) of the 
     Trade Act of 1974 for the People's Republic of China unless 
     the President reports in the document required to be 
     submitted by such section that the government of that 
     country--
       (1) has taken appropriate actions to begin adhering to the 
     provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 
     China and Tibet, and is fulfilling the commitment made to the 
     Secretary of State in November 1991 to allow the unrestricted 
     emigration of those citizens who desire to leave China for 
     reasons of political or religious persecution, to join family 
     members abroad, or for other valid reasons;

[[Page 1992]]

       (2) has provided an acceptable accounting of Chinese 
     citizens detained, accused, or sentenced as a result of the 
     nonviolent expression of their political beliefs and, by the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, has released citizens so 
     detained, accused, or sentenced, to credibly demonstrate a 
     good faith effort to release all those imprisoned as a result 
     of the events which occurred during and after the violent 
     repression in Tiananmen Square on June 3, 1989;
       (3) has taken action to prevent export of products to the 
     United States manufactured wholly or in part by convict, 
     forced, or indentured labor and has agreed to allow United 
     States Custom officials to visit places suspected of 
     producing such goods for export;
       (4) is cooperating with the United States in efforts to 
     account for United States military or other government 
     personnel taken prisoner, missing in action or otherwise 
     unaccounted for as a result of their service in--
       (A) the Korean conflict; or
       (B) the Vietnam conflict; and
       (5) has made overall significant progress in--
       (A) ceasing religious persecution in the People's Republic 
     of China and Tibet, and releasing leaders and members of 
     religious groups detained, imprisoned, or under house arrest 
     for expressing their religious beliefs;
       (B) ceasing unfair trade practices against American 
     businesses, and providing them fair access to Chinese 
     markets, including lowering tariffs, removing nontariff 
     barriers, and increasing the purchase of United States goods 
     and services; and
       (C) adhering to the guidelines and parameters of the 
     Missile Technology Control Regime and the controls adopted by 
     the Nuclear Suppliers Group and the Australian Group on 
     Chemical and Biological Arms.

     SEC. 4. REPORT BY THE PRESIDENT.

       If the President recommends in 1993 that the waiver 
     referred to in section 3 be continued for the People's 
     Republic of China, the President shall state in the document 
     required to be submitted to the Congress by section 402(d) of 
     the Trade Act of 1974, the extent to which the Government of

     is produced or manufactured by a business, corporation, 
     partnership, qualified joint venture, or other person that is

     by a state-owned enterprise of the People's Republic of China 
     shall be ineligible for such nondiscriminatory treatment.

     been effective had it taken effect.
       (b) Events.--Nondiscriminatory treatment as described in 
     subsection (a) shall apply if--
       (1) the President fails to request the waiver referred to 
     in section 3 and reports to the Congress that such failure 
     was a result of his inability to report that the People's 
     Republic of China has met the standards described in that 
     section; or
       (2) the President requests the waiver referred to in

  Pending consideration of said motion,

Para. 110.50  point of order

  Mr. DANNEMEYER made a point of order against the motion to suspend the 
rules and pass the bill, and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, my point of order is basically this: When this 
legislation was taken up in the Committee on Energy and Commerce, this 
Member from California objected that there was not a quorum present in 
order to reach the requisite minimum of 23 to vote it out of the 
committee.
  ``Before the vote was taken to move it out of committee, the chairman 
of the committee, the gentleman from Michigan [Mr. Dingell], 
unilaterally declared the presence of a quorum, when in fact there were 
no more than 16 or 17 members present. That unilateral declaration of 
existence of a quorum, in my judgment, is a violation of the rules, 
because he did not count at all. He just sat there and said, like 
creating a fiction out of the air, `There is a quorum here.'
  ``When the vote was taken, at least when it was asked to be taken, I 
objected on the grounds that there was no quorum present. He said, `I 
already declared that there is a quorum.'
  ``I believe it is a violation of the rules of the House and the rules 
of the committee for a bill to come out of a committee without a quorum 
being present.
  ``That is my point of order.''.

  Mr. WAXMAN was recognized to speak to the point of order, and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, first of all, the presence or absence of a quorum 
during committee proceedings is entirely irrelevant to the matter before 
the House, which is consideration of a bill under the suspension of the 
rules. Even if it were relevant, the gentleman from California is dead 
wrong in asserting that regular order was not followed during committee 
proceedings.
  ``The transcript of the committee September 17, 1992, markup clearly 
indicates a quorum was present at the time the committee voted to report 
this bill. In fact, prior to the vote, the Chair noted the presence of a 
quorum.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I assert that the point of order is not well taken and 
should not be sustained by the Chair for those two reasons.''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HUBBARD, overruled the point of order, 
and said:

  ``The suspension of the rules would suspend all rules inconsistent 
with the

[[Page 2036]]

passage of the bill. The point or order, therefore, is overruled.''.

  Thereupon,
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HUBBARD, recognized Mr. WAXMAN and Mr. 
DANNEMEYER, each for 20 minutes.
  After debate,
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House suspend the rules and pass said bill, as amended?

                   FACILITIES.

       (a) In General.--Section 6001 of the Solid Waste Disposal 
     Act (42 U.S.C. 6961) is amended--
       (1) by inserting ``(a) In General.--'' after ``6001.'';
       (2) in the first sentence, by inserting ``and management'' 
     before ``in the same manner'';
       (3) by inserting after the first sentence the following: 
     ``The Federal, State, interstate, and local substantive and 
     procedural requirements referred to in this subsection 
     include, but are not limited to, all administrative orders 
     and all civil and administrative penalties and fines, 
     regardless of whether such penalties or fines are punitive or 
     coercive in nature or are imposed for isolated, intermittent, 
     or continuing violations. The United States hereby expressly 
     waives any immunity otherwise applicable to the United States 
     with respect to any such substantive or procedural 
     requirement (including, but not limited to, any injunctive 
     relief, administrative order or civil or administrative 
     penalty or fine referred to in the preceding sentence, or 
     reasonable service charge). The reasonable service charges 
     referred to in this subsection include, but are not limited 
     to, fees or charges assessed in connection with the 
     processing and issuance of permits, renewal of permits, 
     amendments to permits, review of plans, studies, and other 
     documents, and inspection and monitoring of facilities, as 
     well as any other nondiscriminatory charges that are assessed 
     in connection with a Federal, State, interstate, or local 
     solid waste or hazardous waste regulatory program.''; and
       (4) by inserting after the second sentence the following: 
     ``No agent, employee, or officer of the United States shall 
     be personally liable for any civil penalty under any Federal, 
     State, interstate, or local solid or hazardous waste law with 
     respect to any act or omission within the scope of the 
     official duties of the agent, employee, or officer. An agent, 
     employee, or officer of the United States shall be subject to 
     any criminal sanction (including, but not limited to, any 
     fine or imprisonment) under any Federal or State solid or 
     hazardous waste law, but no department, agency, or 
     instrumentality of the executive, legislative, or judicial 
     branch of the Federal Government shall be subject to any such 
     sanction.''.
       (b) Administrative Enforcement Actions.--Such section is 
     further amended by adding at the end the following new 
     subsections:
       ``(b) Administrative Enforcement Actions.--(1) The

     action against any department, agency, or instrumentality of

     Government pursuant to the enforcement authorities contained 
     in this Act. The Administrator shall initiate an 
     administrative enforcement action against such a department,

      TITLE II--METROPOLITAN WASHINGTON WASTE MANAGEMENT STUDY ACT

     SEC. 201. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Metropolitan Washington 
     Waste Management Study Act''.

     SEC. 202. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that the I-95 Sanitary Landfill, in 
     Lorton, Virginia, is located on Federal land, and the 
     ultimate responsibility for maintaining environmental 
     integrity at such landfill is on the Federal Government, as 
     well as the signatories to the July 1981 I-95 Sanitary 
     Landfill Memorandum of Understanding.

     SEC. 203. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT

       (a) Environmental Impact Statement.--Except as provided in 
     subsection (b), in order to assure environmental integrity in 
     and around properties owned by the Government of the United 
     States, no expansion of the I-95 Sanitary Landfill shall be 
     permitted or otherwise authorized unless--
       (1) an environmental impact statement, pursuant to the 
     National Environmental Policy Act, regarding any such 
     proposed expansion has been completed and approved by the 
     Administrator; and
       (2) the costs incurred in conducting and completing such 
     environmental impact statement are paid (A) from the 
     landfill's so-called enterprise fund established pursuant to 
     the July 1981 I-95 Sanitary Landfill Memorandum of 
     Understanding, or (B) in accordance with some other payment 
     formula based on past and projected percentage of the 
     jurisdictional usage of the landfill.
       (b) Exception.--(1) Notwithstanding subsection (a), the I-
     95 Sanitary Landfill may be expanded for the purpose of the 
     ash monofill planned by the parties to the July 1981 I-95 
     Sanitary Landfill Memorandum of Understanding if such 
     monofill, subject to paragraph (2), is used solely for the 
     disposal of incinerator ash from such parties.
       (2) The ash monofill referred to in paragraph (1) may be 
     used for the disposal of solid waste for a maximum of 30 days 
     whenever a resource recovery facility, or an incinerator and 
     a resource recovery facility, operated for or by the parties 
     to the July 1981 I-95 Sanitary Landfill Memorandum of 
     Understanding is completely unavailable because of an 
     emergency shutdown.
       (c) Limitation.--After December 31, 1995, the I-95 Sanitary 
     Landfill, including any expansions thereof, shall not be 
     available to receive or dispose of municipal or industrial 
     waste of any kind other than incinerator ash unless the 
     conditions enumerated in subsection (a) are met.
       (d) General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of this 
     title, the parties of the July 1981 I-95 Sanitary Landfill 
     Memorandum of Understanding, together with the Federal 
     Government, shall continue to be responsible for maintaining 
     environmental stability at the I-95 Sanitary Landfill, 
     including any expansion, in accordance with applicable laws 
     of the United States, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the 
     local jurisdictions in which the I-95 Sanitary Landfill is 
     located.

     SEC. 102. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) the unprecedented competitive challenge the United 
     States has faced during the past decade from foreign-based 
     companies offering high-quality, low-priced products has 
     contributed to a drop in real wages and standard of living;
       (2) as international competition has intensified in 
     advanced technology research, development, and applications, 
     the passive nature of United States civilian technology 
     policy has hindered the ability of American companies to 
     compete in certain high technology fields;
       (3) there is general agreement on which fields of 
     technology are critical for economic competitiveness in the 
     next century, but the United States Government lacks a 
     comprehensive strategy for ensuring that the appropriate 
     research, development, and applications activities and other 
     reforms occur so these technologies are readily available to 
     United States manufacturers for incorporation into products 
     made in the United States;
       (4) strategic technology planning, the support of critical 
     technology research, development, and application, and 
     advancement of manufacturing technology development and 
     deployment are appropriate Government roles;
       (5) the cost of and difficulty in obtaining venture capital 
     are significant deterrents to the expansion of small high 
     technology companies; and
       (6) standardization of weights and measures, including 
     development and promotion of product and quality standards, 
     has a significant role to play in competitiveness.

     SEC. 103. PURPOSES.

       The purposes of this Act are to--
       (1) develop a nationwide network of sources of 
     technological advice for manufacturers, particularly small 
     and medium-sized firms, and to provide high quality, current 
     information to that network;
       (2) encourage the development and rapid application of 
     advanced manufacturing processes;
       (3) expand the scope and resources of the Advanced 
     Technology Program of the National Institute of Standards and 
     Technology;
       (4) stimulate and supplement the flow of capital to 
     business concerns engaged principally in development or 
     utilization of critical and other advanced technologies;
       (5) establish mechanisms to ensure synergistic linkages 
     between Federal, State, and local initiatives aimed at 
     enhancing the competitiveness of United States products; and
       (6) enhance the core programs of the National Institute of 
     Standards and Technology.

     SEC. 104. GOALS.

       The goals of this Act are to--
       (1) improve the competitiveness of small and medium-sized 
     manufacturers by improving access to the information and 
     expertise required to compete throughout the world;
       (2) improve the United States position in technologies 
     essential to economic growth and national welfare by 
     promoting research, development, and timely utilization of 
     those technologies;
       (3) utilize the State and local capabilities in industrial 
     extension to improve the efficiency, quality, and strength of 
     national programs to improve the competitiveness of United 
     States products; and
       (4) expand the availability of low-cost patient capital to 
     United States companies developing or utilizing critical or 
     other advanced technologies.

     Secretary shall give significant consideration to the 
     following criteria:
       ``(i) Saliency of argument for requiring a Federal 
     investment.
       ``(ii) Commitment of partnership to continue operation 
     after the termination of Federal funding.
       ``(iii) The likelihood that the training will lead to long-
     term competitiveness of the industrial partners and 
     contribute significantly to economic growth.
       ``(iv) The likelihood that the partnership will benefit the 
     education mission of the education partners in ways outside 
     of the scope of the partnership, such as developing the

     tion or set forth in contract to ensure compliance with this 
     section and to minimize the risk of loss to the United States 
     in the event of default. Preferred securities issued under 
     this section shall be of such sound value as to reasonably 
     ensure that the requirements of paragraphs (3) and (4) will 
     be satisfied.
       (2)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), preferred 
     securities issued under this section shall be senior in 
     priority for all purposes to all non-Federal equity interests 
     in a licensee unless the Under Secretary, in the exercise of

     obligations of the United States with remaining periods to 
     maturity comparable to the time to required redemption of 
     such preferred securities, plus such additional charge, if 
     any, toward covering expected defaults and reasonable 
     administrative costs of carrying out this subtitle as the 
     Under Secretary may determine to be reasonable and 
     appropriate. Such additional charge shall not exceed 2 
     percent.
       (5) Dividends on preferred securities issued under this 
     section shall be cumulative and preferred and paid out of net 
     realized earnings and returns of capital available for 
     distribution, as defined by the Under Secretary by 
     regulation.
       (6) The payment of dividends on preferred securities issued 
     under this section may be deferred by the issuer until such 
     time as, and to the extent that, the issuer realizes earnings 
     and returns of capital available for distribution. 
     Accumulated and unpaid dividends on such preferred securities 
     shall be paid by the issuer before or at the time of 
     redemption of the preferred securities and before any 
     distribution of net realized earnings and returns of capital

     consistent with the purposes of this subtitle.
       (d) Use of Proceeds by Licensees.--(1) A licensee issuing 
     preferred securities under this section shall invest or

     section that have been outstanding at least 5 years, as 
     provided in subsection (b)(3).
       (4) Proceeds to a licensee derived from preferred 
     securities issued under this section that have not been 
     invested pursuant to paragraph (1) or used for redemptions 
     pursuant to paragraph (3) and are not reasonably needed for 
     the operations of the licensee shall be invested in direct 
     obligations of, or obligations guaranteed as to principal and 
     interest by, the United States, or in certificates of deposit

     unpaid dividends owed on outstanding preferred securities 
     issued under this section and to satisfy the redemption 
     requirements of subsection (b)(3).
       (B) For purposes of subparagraph (A), the redemption 
     requirements of subsection (b)(3) shall be considered to be 
     satisfied if necessary and appropriate actions, as determined 
     by the Under Secretary, have been undertaken by the licensee 
     to ensure that such requirements will be satisfied.
       (C) If a licensee is operating as a limited partnership or 
     as a corporation described in subchapter S of chapter 1 of 
     subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or an 
     equivalent pass-through entity for tax purposes, it may 
     distribute to the partners or shareholders an amount equal to 
     the estimated amount of Federal, State, and local income 
     taxes due from such partners and shareholders on their share

     before payments described in subparagraph (A) are made.

     certificates shall be based on and backed by a trust or pool

     or pool are redeemed or extinguished, either voluntarily or

     and interest on the trust certificates shall be reduced in 
     proportion to the amount of redemption price and dividends 
     such redeemed preferred security or extinguished contractual 
     obligation represents in the trust or pool. Dividends or 
     partnership profit distributions on such preferred securities 
     and related contractual obligations, shall accrue and be 
     guaranteed by

[[Page 2053]]

     the Under Secretary only through the date of payment on the

     Under Secretary shall provide for a central registration of 
     all trust certificates sold pursuant to this section. Such 
     central registration shall include with respect to each sale, 
     identification of each licensee, the interest rate or 
     dividend rate paid by the licensee, commissions, fees, or 
     discounts paid to brokers and dealers in trust certificates, 
     identification of each purchaser of the trust certificate,

     paragraph (2), and such other information as the Under 
     Secretary deems appropriate.
       (2) The Under Secretary shall contract with an agent or 
     agents to carry out on behalf of the Under Secretary the 
     pooling and the central registration functions of this 
     section including, notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, maintenance on behalf of and under the direction of the 
     Under Secretary, such commercial bank accounts as may be 
     necessary to facilitate trusts or pools backed by securities 
     guaranteed or purchased under this subtitle, and the issuance 
     of trust certificates to facilitate such poolings. Such agent

     subsection may extend the maturity of or renew such loan for 
     additional periods, not exceeding 5 years, if the licensee 
     finds that such extension or renewal will aid in the orderly 
     liquidation of such loan.
       (c) State Usury Laws.--Any provision of the constitution or 
     laws of a State which expressly limits the rate or the amount 
     of interest or other charges related to a loan that may be

                         PART III--ENFORCEMENT

     SEC. 361. INVESTIGATIONS AND EXAMINATIONS.

       (a) Reporting Requirements.--Each license issued under this 
     subtitle shall require a licensee with outstanding preferred 
     securities to provide the Under Secretary such information, 
     including companies financed, disbursements made along with 
     associated terms and conditions, receipts, portfolio 
     valuation at cost and at estimated fair market value, and 
     other financial statements, that the Under Secretary may 
     require to determine, in a timely manner, compliance with 
     this subtitle and regulations promulgated under this 
     subtitle. Such reporting shall be--

[[Page 2054]]

       (1) uniform for all licensees; and
       (2) independently audited, at the expense of a licensee, in 
     accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and 
     submitted to the Under Secretary no later than 60 days after 
     the end of a licensee's fiscal year, with interim unaudited 
     financial statements provided to the Under Secretary no later 
     than 45 days after the end of each 3-month period during a 
     licensee's fiscal year.
     The Under Secretary may exempt from making such reports any 
     licensee which is registered under the Investment Company Act 
     of 1940 only to the extent necessary to avoid duplication in 
     reporting requirements.
       (b) Valuations.--The Under Secretary shall, by regulation, 
     establish guidelines for estimating the fair market value of 
     investments held by a licensee as required under subsection 
     (a). The board of directors of a corporate licensee and the 
     general partners of a partnership licensee shall have the 
     sole responsibility for making a good faith determination of 
     the fair market value of investments held by such licensee, 
     based on guidelines established under this subsection.
       (c) Investigations.--The Secretary may make such 
     investigations as the Secretary deems necessary to determine 
     whether a licensee or any other person has engaged or is 
     about to engage in any acts or practices which constitute or 
     will constitute a violation of any provision of this 
     subtitle, or of any rule or regulation under this subtitle or 
     any order issued under this subtitle. The Secretary shall 
     permit any person to file a statement in writing, under oath 
     or otherwise as the Secretary shall determine, as to all the 
     facts and circumstances concerning the matter to be 
     investigated. For the purpose of any investigation, the 
     Secretary is empowered to administer oaths and affirmations, 
     subpoena witnesses, compel their attendance, take evidence, 
     and require the production of any books, papers, and 
     documents which are relevant to the inquiry. Such attendance 
     of witnesses and the production of any such records may be 
     required from any place in the United States. In case of 
     contumacy by, or refusal to obey a subpoena issued to, any 
     person, including a licensee, the Secretary may invoke the 
     aid of any court of the United States within the jurisdiction 
     of which such investigation or proceeding is carried on, or 
     where such person resides or carries on business, in 
     requiring the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the 
     production of books, papers, and documents; and such court 
     may issue an order requiring such person to appear before the 
     Secretary, there to produce records, if so ordered, or to 
     give testimony touching the matter under investigation. Any 
     failure to obey such order of the court may be punished by 
     such court as a contempt thereof. All process in any such 
     case may be served in the judicial district whereof such 
     person is an inhabitant or wherever he may be found.
       (d) Examinations.--(1) Each licensee shall be subject to 
     examinations made at the direction of the Under Secretary by 
     examiners selected or approved by, and under the supervision 
     of, the Under Secretary. The Under Secretary is authorized to 
     enter into contracts with private parties to perform such 
     examinations. The cost of such examinations, including the 
     compensation of the examiners, may in the discretion of the 
     Under Secretary be assessed against the licensee examined and 
     when so assessed shall be paid by such licensee.
       (2) Each licensee shall be examined at least every 2 years 
     in such detail so as to determine whether or not--
       (A) it has engaged solely in lawful activities and those 
     contemplated by this subtitle;
       (B) it has engaged in prohibited conflicts of interest;
       (C) it has acquired or exercised illegal control of an 
     assisted qualified business concern;
       (D) it has invested more than 20 percent of its capital in 
     any individual qualified business concern;
       (E) it has engaged in relending, foreign investments, or 
     passive investments; or
       (F) it has charged an interest rate in excess of the 
     maximum permitted by law.
       (3) The Under Secretary may waive the examination--
       (A) for up to one additional year if, in his discretion he 
     determines such a delay would be appropriate, based upon the 
     amount of debentures and preferred securities being issued by 
     the licensee and its repayment record, the prior operating 
     experience of the licensee, the contents and results of the 
     last examination and the management expertise of the 
     licensee; or
       (B) if it is a licensee whose operations have been 
     suspended while the licensee is involved in litigation or is 
     in receivership.

     SEC. 362. REVOCATION AND SUSPENSION OF LICENSES; CEASE AND 
                   DESIST ORDERS.

       (a) Grounds for Revocation or Suspension.--A license may be 
     revoked or suspended by the Secretary--
       (1) for false statements allowingly made in any written 
     statement required under this subtitle, or under any 
     regulation issued under this subtitle by the Under Secretary;
       (2) if any written statement required under this subtitle, 
     or under any regulation issued under this subtitle by the 
     Under Secretary, fails to state a material fact necessary in 
     order to make the statement not misleading in the light of 
     the circumstances under which the statement was made;
       (3) for willful or repeated violation of, or willful or 
     repeated failure to observe, any provision of this subtitle;
       (4) for willful or repeated violation of or willful or 
     repeated failure to observe, any rule or regulation of the 
     Under Secretary authorized by this subtitle; and
       (5) for violation of, or failure to observe, any cease and 
     desist order issued by the Secretary under this section.
       (b) Cease and Desist Orders.--Where a licensee or any other 
     person has not complied with any provision of this subtitle, 
     or of any regulation issued pursuant thereto by the Under 
     Secretary, or is engaging or is about to engage in any acts 
     or practices which constitute or will constitute a violation 
     of such subtitle or regulation, the Secretary may order such 
     licensee or other person to cease and desist from such action 
     or failure to act. The Secretary may further order such 
     licensee or other person to take such action or to refrain 
     from such action as the Secretary considers necessary to 
     ensure compliance with such subtitle and regulations. The 
     Secretary may also suspend the license of a licensee, against 
     whom an order has been issued, until such licensee complies 
     with such order.
       (c) Procedures.--Before revoking or suspending a license 
     pursuant to subsection (a) or issuing a cease and desist 
     order pursuant to subsection (b), the Secretary shall serve 
     upon the licensee and any other person involved an order to 
     show cause why an order revoking or suspending the license or 
     a cease and desist order should not be issued. Any such order 
     to show cause shall contain a statement of the matters of 
     fact and law asserted by the Secretary and the legal 
     authority and jurisdiction under which a hearing is to be 
     held, and shall set forth that a hearing will be held before 
     the Secretary at a time and place stated in the order. If 
     after hearing, or a waiver thereof, the Secretary determines 
     on the record that an order revoking or suspending the 
     license or a cease and desist order should issue, the 
     Secretary shall promptly issue such order, which shall in- 
     clude a statement of the findings of the Secretary and the 
     grounds and reasons therefor and specify the effective date 
     of the order, and shall cause the order to be served on the 
     licensee and any other person involved.
       (d) Subpoenas.--The Secretary may require by subpoenas the 
     attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of 
     all books, papers, and documents relating to the hearing from 
     any place in the United States. Witnesses summoned before the 
     Secretary shall be paid by the party at whose instance they 
     were called the same fees and mileage that are paid witnesses 
     in the courts of the United States. In case of disobedience 
     to a subpoena, the Secretary, or any party to a proceeding 
     before the Secretary, may invoke the aid of any court of the 
     United States in requiring the attendance and testimony of 
     witnesses and the production of books, papers, and documents.
       (e) Judicial Review.--An order issued by the Secretary 
     under this section shall be final and conclusive unless 
     within 30 days after the service thereof the licensee, or 
     other person against whom an order is issued, appeals to the 
     United States court of appeals for the circuit in which such 
     licensee has its principal place of business by filing with 
     the clerk of such court a petition praying that the 
     Secretary's order be set aside or modified in the manner 
     stated in the petition. After the expiration of such 30 days, 
     a petition may be filed only by leave of court on a showing 
     of reasonable grounds for failure to file the petition 
     theretofore. The clerk of the court shall immediately cause a 
     copy of the petition to be delivered to the Secretary, and 
     the Secretary shall thereupon certify and file in the court a 
     transcript of the record upon which the order complained of 
     was entered. If before such record is filed the Secretary 
     amends or sets aside its order, in whole or in part, the 
     petitioner may amend the petition within such time as the 
     court may determine, on notice to the Secretary. The filing 
     of a petition for review shall not of itself stay or suspend 
     the operation of the order of the Secretary, but the court of 
     appeals in its discretion may restrain or suspend, in whole 
     or in part, the operation of the order pending the final 
     hearing and determination of the petition. The court may 
     affirm, modify, or set aside the order of the Secretary. If 
     the court determines that the just and proper disposition of 
     the case requires the taking of additional evidence, the 
     court shall order the Secretary to reopen the hearing for the 
     taking of such evidence, in such manner and upon such terms 
     and conditions as the court may deem proper. The Secretary 
     may modify its findings as to the facts, or make new 
     findings, by reason of the additional evidence so taken, and 
     it shall file its modified or new findings and the 
     amendments, if any, of its order, with the record of such 
     additional evidence. No objection to an order of the 
     Secretary shall be considered by the court unless such 
     objection was urged before the Secretary or, if it was not so 
     urged, unless there were reasonable grounds for failure to do 
     so. The judgment and decree of the court affirming, 
     modifying, or setting aside any such order of the Secretary 
     shall be subject only to review by the Supreme Court of the 
     United States upon certification or certiorari as provided in 
     section 1254 of title 28, United States Code.
       (f) Enforcement.--If any licensee or other person against 
     which or against whom an order is issued under this section 
     fails to obey the order, the Secretary may apply to the 
     United States court of appeals, within the circuit where the 
     licensee has its principal place of business, for the 
     enforcement of the order and shall file a transcript of the 
     record upon which the order complained of was entered. Upon 
     the filing of the applica- 

[[Page 2055]]

     tion the court shall cause notice thereof to be served on the 
     licensee or other person. The evidence to be considered, the 
     procedure to be followed, and the jurisdiction of the court 
     shall be the same as is provided in subsection (e) for 
     applications to set aside or modify orders.

     SEC. 363. INJUNCTIONS AND OTHER ORDERS.

       (a) In General.--Whenever, in the judgment of the 
     Secretary, a licensee or any other person has engaged or is 
     about to engage in any acts or practices which constitute or 
     will constitute a violation of any provision of this 
     subtitle, or of any rule or regulation under this subtitle, 
     or of any order issued under this subtitle, the Secretary may 
     make application to the proper district court of the United 
     States or a United States court of any place subject to the 
     jurisdiction of the United States for an order enjoining such 
     acts or practices, or for an order enforcing compliance with 
     such provision, rule, regulation, or order, and such courts 
     shall have jurisdiction of such actions and, upon a showing 
     by the Secretary that such licensee or other person has 
     engaged or is about to engage in any such acts or practices, 
     a permanent or temporary injunction shall be granted without 
     bond.
       (b) Equity Jurisdiction.--In any such proceeding the court 
     as a court of equity may, to such extent as it deems 
     necessary, take exclusive jurisdiction of the licensee or 
     licensees and the assets thereof, wherever located; and the 
     court shall have jurisdiction in any such proceeding to 
     appoint a trustee or receiver to hold or administer under the 
     direction of the court the assets so possessed.
       (c) Trusteeship or Receivership.--The Under Secretary shall 
     have authority to act as trustee or receiver of the licensee. 
     Upon request by the Secretary, the court may appoint the 
     Under Secretary to act in such capacity unless the court 
     deems such appointment inequitable or otherwise inappropriate 
     by reason of the special circumstances involved.

     SEC. 364. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.

       For the purpose of controlling conflicts of interest which 
     may be detrimental to qualified business concerns, to 
     licensees, to the shareholders or partners of either, or to 
     the purposes of this subtitle, the Under Secretary shall 
     adopt regulations to govern transactions with any officer, 
     director, shareholder, or partner of any licensee, or with 
     any person or concern, in which any interest, direct or 
     indirect, financial or otherwise, is held by any officer, 
     director, shareholder, or partner of (1) any licensee, or (2) 
     any person or concern with an interest, direct or indirect, 
     financial or otherwise, in any licensee. Such regulations 
     shall include appropriate requirements for public disclosure 
     (including disclosure in the locality most directly affected 
     by the transaction) necessary to the purposes of this 
     section.

     SEC. 365. REMOVAL OR SUSPENSION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

       (a) Grounds.--The Secretary may serve upon any director or 
     officer of a licensee a written notice of its intention to 
     remove him from office whenever, in the opinion of the 
     Secretary, such director or officer--
       (1) has willfully and knowingly committed any substantial 
     violation of--
       (A) this subtitle;
       (B) any regulation issued under this subtitle; or
       (C) a cease-and-desist order which has become final; or
       (2) has willfully and knowingly committed or engaged in any 
     act, omission, or practice which constitutes a substantial 
     breach of his fiduciary duty as such director or officer,
     and that such violation or such breach of fiduciary duty is 
     one involving personal dishonesty on the part of such 
     director or officer.
       (b) Temporary Suspension.--In respect to any director or 
     officer referred to in subsection (a), the Secretary may, if 
     he deems it necessary for the protection of the licensee or 
     the interests of the Secretary, by written notice to such 
     effect served upon such director or officer, suspend him from 
     office and/or prohibit him from further participation in any 
     manner in the conduct of the affairs of the licensee. Such 
     suspension and/or prohibition shall become effective upon 
     service of such notice and, unless stayed by a court in 
     proceedings authorized by subsection (d), shall remain in 
     effect pending the completion of the administrative 
     proceedings pursuant to the notice served under subsection 
     (a) and until such time as the Secretary shall dismiss the 
     charges specified in such notice, or, if an order of removal 
     and/or prohibition is issued against the director or officer, 
     until the effective date of any such order. Copies of any 
     such notice shall also be served upon the interested 
     licensee.
       (c) Hearing; Order of Removal.--A notice of intention to 
     remove a director or officer, as provided in subsection (a), 
     shall contain a statement of the facts constituting grounds 
     therefor, and shall fix a time and place at which a hearing 
     will be held thereon. Such hearing shall be fixed for a date 
     not earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days after the 
     date of service of such notice, unless an earlier or a later 
     date is set by the Secretary at the request of (1) such 
     director or officer and for good cause shown, or (2) the 
     Attorney General of the United States. Unless such director 
     or officer shall appear at the hearing in person or by a duly 
     authorized representative, he shall be deemed to have 
     consented to the issuance of an order of such removal. In the 
     event of such consent, or if upon the record made at any such 
     hearing the Secretary shall find that any of the grounds 
     specified in such notice has been established, the Secretary 
     may issue such orders of removal from office as he deems 
     appropriate. Any such order shall become effective at the 
     expiration of 30 days after service upon such licensee and 
     the director or officer concerned (except in the case of an 
     order issued upon consent, which shall become effective at 
     the time specified therein). Such order shall remain 
     effective and enforceable except to such extent as it is 
     stayed, modified, terminated, or set aside by section of the 
     Secretary or a reviewing court.
       (d) Stay of Suspension or Prohibition.--Within 10 days 
     after any director or officer has been suspended from office 
     and/or prohibited from participation in the conduct of the 
     affairs of a licensee under subsection (b), such director or 
     officer may apply to the United States district court for the 
     judicial district in which the home office of the licensee is 
     located, or the United States District Court for the District 
     of Columbia, for a stay of such suspension and/or prohibition 
     pending the completion of the administrative proceedings 
     pursuant to the notice served upon such director or officer 
     under subsection (a), and such court shall have jurisdiction 
     to stay such suspension and/or prohibition.
       (e) Felonies Involving Dishonesty or Breach of Trust.--
     Whenever any director or officer of a licensee is charged in 
     any information, indictment, or complaint authorized by a 
     United States attorney, with the commission of or 
     participation in a felony involving dishonesty or breach of 
     trust, the Secretary may, by written notice served upon such 
     director or officer, suspend him from office and/or prohibit 
     him from further participation in any manner in the conduct 
     of the affairs of the licensee. A copy of such notice shall 
     also be served upon the licensee. Such suspension and/or 
     prohibition shall remain in effect until such information, 
     indictment, or complaint is finally disposed of or until 
     terminated by the Secretary. In the event that a judgment of 
     conviction with respect to such offense is entered against 
     such director or officer, and at such time as such judgment 
     is not subject to further appellate review, the Secretary may 
     issue and serve upon such director or officer an order 
     removing him from office. A copy of such order shall be 
     served upon such licensee, whereupon such director or officer 
     shall cease to be a director or officer of such licensee. A 
     finding of not guilty or other disposition of the charge 
     shall not preclude the Secretary from thereafter instituting 
     proceedings to suspend or remove such director or officer 
     from office and/or to prohibit him from further participation 
     in licensee affairs, pursuant to subsection (a) or (b).
       (f) Hearings and Review.--(1) Any hearing provided for in 
     this section shall be held in the Federal judicial district 
     or in the territory in which the principal office of the 
     licensee is located unless the party afforded the hearing 
     consents to another place, and shall be conducted in 
     accordance with the provisions of chapter 5 of title 5 of the 
     United States Code. After such hearing, and within 90 days 
     after the Secretary has notified the parties that the case 
     has been submitted to it for final decision, the Secretary 
     shall render a decision (which shall include findings of fact 
     upon which his decision is predicated) and shall issue and 
     cause to be served upon each party to the proceeding an order 
     or orders consistent with the provisions of this section. 
     Judicial review of any such order shall be exclusively as 
     provided in this subsection. Unless a petition for review is 
     timely filed in a court of appeals of the United States, as 
     provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, and thereafter 
     until the record in the proceeding has been filed as so 
     provided, the Secretary may at any time, upon such notice, 
     and in such manner as he shall deem proper, modify, 
     terminate, or set aside any such order. Upon such filing of 
     the record the Secretary may modify, terminate, or set aside 
     any such order with permission of the court.
       (2) Any party to such proceeding may obtain a review of any 
     order served pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection 
     (other than an order issued with the consent of the director 
     or officer concerned, or an order issued under subsection (e) 
     of this section), by filing in the court of appeals of the 
     United States for the circuit in which the principal office 
     of the licensee is located, or in the United States Court of 
     Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, within 30 days 
     after the date of service of such order, a written petition 
     praying that the order of the Secretary be modified, 
     terminated, or set aside. A copy of such petition shall be 
     forthwith transmitted by the clerk of the court to the 
     Secretary, and thereupon the Secretary shall file in the 
     court the record in the proceeding, as provided in section 
     2112 of title 28 of the United States Code. Upon the filing 
     of such petition, such court shall have jurisdiction, which 
     upon the filing of the record shall, except as provided in 
     the last sentence of such paragraph (1), be exclusive, to 
     affirm, modify, terminate, or set aside, in whole or in part, 
     the order of the Secretary. Review of such proceedings shall 
     be had as provided in chapter 7 of title 5 of the United 
     States Code. The judgment and decree of the court shall be 
     final, except that the same shall be subject to review by the 
     Supreme Court upon certiorari as provided in section 1254 of 
     title 28 of the United States Code.
       (3) The commencement of proceedings for judicial review 
     under paragraph (2) of this subsection shall not, unless 
     specifically ordered by the court, operate as a stay of any 
     order issued by the Secretary.

     SEC. 366. UNLAWFUL ACTS.

       (a) Participation.--Wherever a licensee violates any 
     provision of this subtitle or regulation issued thereunder by 
     reason of its failure to comply with the terms thereof or by 
     reason of its engaging in any act or practice which 
     constitutes or will constitute a violation thereof, such 
     violation shall be deemed to be also a violation and an 
     unlawful act on the part of any person who, directly or 
     indirectly, authorizes, orders, participates in, or causes, 
     brings about, counsels, aids, or abets in the commission of 
     any acts, practices, or transactions which constitute or will 
     constitute, in whole or in part, such violation.
       (b) Breach of Fiduciary Duty.--It shall be unlawful for any 
     officer, director, employee, agent, or other participant in 
     the management or conduct of the affairs of a licensee to 
     engage in any act or practice, or to omit any act, in breach 
     of his fiduciary duty as such officer, director, employee, 
     agent, or participant, if, as a result thereof, the licensee 
     has suffered or is in imminent danger of suffering financial 
     loss or other damage.
       (c) Disqualification.--Except with the written consent of 
     the Secretary, it shall be unlawful--
       (1) for any person hereafter to take office as an officer, 
     director, or employee of a licensee, or to become an agent or 
     participant in the conduct of the affairs or management of a 
     licensee, if such person--
       (A) has been convicted of a felony, or any other criminal 
     offense involving dishonesty or breach of trust; or
       (B) has been found civilly liable in damages, or has been 
     permanently or temporarily enjoined by an order, judgment, or 
     decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, by reason of any 
     act or practice involving fraud or breach of trust; and
       (2) for any person to continue to serve in any of the 
     above-described capacities if such person--
       (A) is hereafter convicted of a felony, or any other 
     criminal offense involving dishonesty or breach of trust; or
       (B) is hereafter found civilly liable in damages, or is 
     permanently or temporarily enjoined by an order, judgment, or 
     decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, by reason of any 
     act or practice involving fraud or breach of trust.

     SEC. 367. PENALTIES AND FORFEITURES.

       (a) Civil Penalty.--Except as provided in subsection (b) of 
     this section, a licensee which violates any regulation or 
     written directive issued by the Secretary or the Under 
     Secretary shall forfeit and pay to the United States a civil 
     penalty of not more than $1,000 for each day of the 
     continuance of the licensee's failure to file a report 
     required under section 361(a), unless it is shown that such 
     failure is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful 
     neglect. The civil penalties provided for in this section 
     shall accrue to the United States and may be recovered in a 
     civil action brought by the Secretary.
       (b) Exemptions.--The Secretary may by rules and 
     regulations, or upon application of an interested party, at 
     any time previous to such failure, by order, after notice and 
     opportunity for hearing, exempt in whole or in part, any 
     licensee from the provisions of subsection (a) of this 
     section, upon such terms and conditions and for such period 
     of time as the Secretary deems necessary and appropriate, if 
     the Secretary finds that such action is not inconsistent with 
     the public interest or the protection of the Department. The 
     Secretary may for the purposes of this section make any 
     alternative requirements appropriate to the situation.

     SEC. 368. JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS.

       Any suit or action brought under section 357, 362, 363, 
     365, or 367 by the Secretary at law or in equity to enforce 
     any liability or duty created by, or to enjoin any violation 
     of, this subtitle, or any rule, regulation, or order 
     promulgated thereunder, shall be brought in the district 
     wherein the licensee maintains its principal office, and 
     process in such cases may be served in any district in which 
     the defendant maintains its principal office or transacts 
     business, or wherever the defendant may be found.

     SEC. 369. ANTITRUST SAVINGS CLAUSE.

       This subtitle shall not be construed to modify, impair, or 
     supersede the operation of the antitrust laws. For purposes 
     of this section, the term ``antitrust laws'' has the meaning 
     given it in subsection (a) of the first section of the 
     Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. 12(a)), except that such term includes 
     the Act of June 19, 1936 (49 Stat. 1526; 15 U.S.C. 13 et 
     seq.), commonly known as the Robinson Patman Act, and section 
     5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 45) to the 
     extent that such section 5 applies to unfair methods of 
     competition.
                        TITLE IV--MISCELLANEOUS
                  Subtitle A--Miscellaneous Provisions

     SEC. 401. INTERNATIONAL STANDARDIZATION.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) private sector consensus standards are essential to the 
     timely development of competitive products;
       (2) Federal Government contribution of resources, more 
     active participation in the voluntary standards process in 
     the United States, and assistance, where appropriate, through 
     government to government negotiations, can increase the 
     quality of United States standards, increase their 
     compatibility with the standards of other countries, and ease 
     access of United States-made products to foreign markets; and
       (3) the Federal Government, working in cooperation with 
     private sector organizations including trade associations, 
     engineering societies, and technical bodies, can effectively 
     promote United States Government use of United States 
     consensus standards and, where appropriate, the adoption and 
     United States Government use of international standards.
       (b) Standard Pilot Program.--Section 104(e) of the American 
     Technology Preeminence Act of 1991 is amended--
       (1) by inserting ``(1)'' before ``Pursuant to the''; and
       (2) by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
       ``(2) As necessary and appropriate, the Institute shall 
     expand the program established under section 112 of the 
     National Institute of Standards and Technology Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 1989 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) by extending 
     the existing program and by entering into additional 
     contracts with non-Federal organizations representing United 
     States companies, as such term is defined in section 
     28(d)(9)(B) of the National Institute of Standards and 
     Technology Act (15 U.S.C. 278n(d)(9)(B)). Such contracts 
     shall require cost sharing between Federal and non-Federal 
     sources for such purposes. In awarding such contracts, the 
     Institute shall seek to promote and support the dissemination 
     of United States technical standards to additional foreign 
     countries, in cooperation with governmental bodies, private 
     organizations including standards setting organizations and 
     industry, and multinational institutions that promote 
     economic development. The organizations receiving such 
     contracts may establish training programs to bring to the 
     United States foreign standards experts for the purpose of 
     receiving in-depth training in the United States standards 
     system.''.
       (c) Report on Global Standards.--The Secretary, in 
     consultation with the Institute and the Commerce Technology 
     Advisory Board established under section 204 of this Act, 
     shall submit to the Congress a report describing the 
     appropriate roles of the Department of Commerce in aid to 
     United States companies in achieving conformity assessment 
     and accreditation and otherwise qualifying their products in 
     foreign markets, and in the development and promulgation of 
     domestic and global product and quality standards, including 
     a discussion of the extent to which each of the policy 
     options provided in such Office of Technology Assessment 
     report contributes to meeting the goals of--
       (1) increasing the international adoption of standards 
     beneficial to United States industries; and
       (2) improving the coordination of United States 
     representation to international standards setting bodies.

  Mr. WALKER moved to recommit the bill to the Committees on Ways and 
Means, Energy and Commerce, Government Operations, and the Judiciary 
with instructions to consider such additional provisions as are 
necessary to promote the competitiveness of American businesses by 
reducing the national debt to reduce the cost of capital, providing tax 
incentives to further enhance private capital formation, reforming 
antitrust law to remove barriers to cooperative enterprise, and 
instituting civil justice reform to reduce litigious burdens.
  After debate,

Para. 111.10  point of order

  Mr. VALENTINE made a point of order against said motion to recommit 
with instructions, and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, let me say at the outset that our dear friend, the 
gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Walker] continues to make the same 
point over and over and over again, and I suppose we need to try to 
answer it over again. Certainly, many of us have sympathy with a lot of 
what he wants to do in the legislation. Many of us have sympathy with 
it, but we just suggest that he go about it following proper procedures.
  ``Mr. Speaker, in support of our request to the Chair to sustain the 
point of order, we respectfully suggest that the instructions included 
in the motion to recommit offered by the gentleman from Pennsylvania 
include matters from amendments offered by the gentleman earlier in the 
Committee of the Whole which were ruled out of order by the Chairman as 
nongermane.
  ``Mr. Speaker, we suggest that under the rules of the House it is not 
in order to present as part of a motion to recommit any proposition 
which would not have been germane if proposed as an amendment to the 
bill in the committee.''.


[[Page 2059]]


  Mr. WALKER was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, the motion to recommit does not speak to any sections 
of the bill. In fact, it sends the entire bill back in its present form. 
It simply commits it to committees that would have appropriate 
jurisdictions in the area and simply provides instructions that these 
additional areas be looked at as a part of competitiveness.
  ``Our committee does in fact have jurisdiction over the entire issue 
of competitiveness. All this is suggesting is that if there are 
jurisdictional disputes over what that means, then those committees 
should take a look at the content of this bill and consider such 
additional measures as may be needed. There is nothing here that changes 
the substance of the bill in any way. It is simply an instruction to the 
appropriate committees that they need to consider additional provisions 
that are necessary to promote a concept which is in the exclusive 
jurisdiction of the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. TRAXLER, sustained the point of order, 
and said:

  ``The Chair would sustain the point of order raised by the gentleman 
from North Carolina [Mr. Valentine] and would indicate that instructions 
contained in a motion to recommit must be germane to the subject matter 
of the bill whether or not the instructions propose a direct amendment 
thereto.
  ``It has been held that a motion to recommit a bill addressing Federal 
research and technology policy reported from the Committee on Science, 
Space, and Technology, with instructions to the Committee on Ways and 
Means to give consideration to improving competitiveness of U.S. 
industry by changes in Federal tax policy, was not germane to the 
subject matter of the bill.

York [Mr. McNulty] was in the chair at that time.
  ``Therefore, the Chair sustains the point of order.''.

Means, Energy and Commerce, Government Operations, and the Judiciary 
with instructions to consider such additional provisions as are 
necessary to promote the competitiveness of American businesses.

     SEC. 1301. CAPITAL PRESERVATION.

       Section 6.9(e)(3) (12 U.S.C. 2278a-9(e)(3)), is amended--
       (1) by adding at the end of subparagraph (C) the following: 
     ``Any bank leaving the Farm Credit System pursuant to Section 
     7.10 of this Act shall be required, under regulations of the 
     Farm Credit Administration, to pay to the Financial 
     Assistance Corporation the estimated present value of such 
     future payment had the bank remained in the System. With 
     respect to any bank undergoing liquidation under this Act, a 
     liability to the Financial Assistance Corporation in said 
     amount (calculated as if the bank had left the System on the 
     date it was placed in liquidation) shall be recognized as a 
     claim in favor of the Financial Assistance Corporation 
     against the estate of such bank. The obligations of other 
     banks shall not be reduced in anticipation of any such 
     recoveries from banks leaving the System or in liquidation, 
     but the Financial Assistance Corporation shall apply such 
     recoveries, when received, and all earnings thereon, to 
     reduce the other banks' payment obligations, or, to the 
     extent such recoveries are received after the other banks 
     have met their entire payment obligation, shall refund such

     the Financial Assistance Corporation under subparagraph (C), 
     each System bank shall enter into or continue in effect an 
     agreement with the Financial Assistance Corporation under 
     which the bank will make annual annuity-type payments to the 
     Financial Assistance Corporation, beginning no later than 
     December 1991 (except for any bank that did not meet its 
     interim capital requirement on December 31, 1990, in which 
     case such bank shall begin making such payments no later than 
     December 31, 1993) in amounts designed to accumulate, in 
     total, including earnings thereon, to 90% of the bank's 
     ultimate obligation, and the Financial Assistance Corporation 
     will partially discharge the bank from its obligation under 
     subparagraph (C) to the extent of each such payment and the 
     earnings thereon as earned.

[[Page 2063]]

       ``(ii) Such agreement shall not require payments to be made 
     to the extent that making a particular payment or part 
     thereof would cause the bank to fail to satisfy applicable 
     regulatory permanent capital requirements, but shall provide 
     for recalculation of subsequent payments accordingly.
       ``(iii) The funds received by the Financial Assistance 
     Corporation pursuant to such agreements shall be invested in 
     eligible investments as defined in Section 6.25(a)(1) of this 
     Act, and such funds and the earnings thereon shall be

     following: ``, nor shall the obligation to make future 
     annuity payments to the Financial Assistance Corporation 
     under subparagraph (D) be considered a liability of any 
     System bank''.

     SEC. 1302. PREFERRED STOCK.

       Section 6.26(d)(1)(B) (12 U.S.C. 2278b-6(d)(1)(B)), is 
     amended by adding at the end thereof the following: ``Each 
     year beginning in 1992, as soon as practicable following the 
     end of the prior year, each such institution (except 
     institutions in receivership) shall appropriate from its 
     earnings in the prior year to an appropriated unallocated 
     surplus account with respect to preferred stock, the sum of--
       ``(i) the greater of--

       ``(I) such amount as the institution may be required to 
     appropriate under any assistance agreement it has with the 
     Farm Credit System Assistance Board or the Farm Credit System 
     Insurance Corporation; or
       ``(II) the amount that, if appropriated to such account in 
     equal amounts in each year thereafter until the maturity of 
     the obligation referred to in subparagraph (A), would cause 
     the amount in such account to equal the par value of the 
     preferred stock issued by such institution with respect to 
     such obligation; plus

       ``(ii) any amount that had been appropriated to said 
     account in a previous year but had thereafter been offset by 
     losses;
     ``Provided, however, That an annual appropriation shall not 
     be made to the extent that it would exceed the institution's 
     net income (as determined pursuant to generally accepted 
     accounting principles) in that year or to the extent that it 
     would cause the institution's preferred stock to be impaired. 
     The amount in such appropriated unallocated surplus account 
     shall be unavailable to pay dividends or other allocations or 
     distributions to shareholders or holders of participation 
     certificates, and said account shall be senior to all other 
     unallocated surplus accounts but junior to all preferred and 
     common stock for purposes of the application of operating 
     losses. Such appropriations of surplus by an institution 
     shall not affect the treatment of its preferred stock (and of 
     the appropriated unallocated surplus) as equity for purposes 
     of regulatory permanent capital requirements.''

     SEC. 1303. SYSTEMWIDE REPAYMENT OBLIGATION.

       Section 6.26(d)(1)(C) (12 U.S.C. 2278b-6(d)(1)(C)), is 
     amended by adding at the end thereof the following: ``The 
     annual increase in the present value of the estimated 
     obligation of each bank to the Financial Assistance 
     Corporation hereunder shall be recorded each year as an 
     expense item, in accordance with generally accepted 
     accounting principles, on the books of the bank. A bank may 
     (and, to the extent necessary to satisfy its obligations, 
     shall) pass on (either directly, or indirectly through loan 
     pricing or otherwise) all or part of such payment requirement 
     to its affiliated direct lender associations based on 
     proportionate average accruing retail loan volumes for the 
     preceding 15 years, but the bank shall remain primarily 
     liable for such amount. Any bank leaving the Farm Credit 
     System pursuant to Section 7.10 of this Act shall be 
     required, under regulations of the Farm Credit 
     Administration, to pay to the Financial Assistance 
     Corporation the estimated present value of such future 
     payment had the bank remained in the System, and a liability 
     to the Financial Assistance Corporation in said amount 
     (calculated as if the bank had left the System on the date it 
     was placed in liquidation) shall be recognized as a claim in 
     favor of the Financial Assistance Corporation against the 
     estate of any bank undergoing liquidation. The obligations of 
     other banks shall not be reduced in anticipation of any such 
     recoveries from banks leaving the System or in liquidation, 
     but the Financial Assistance Corporation shall apply such 
     recoveries, when received, and all earnings thereon, to 
     reduce the other banks' payment obligations, or, to the 
     extent such recoveries are received after the other banks 
     have met their entire payment obligation, shall refund such 
     recoveries, when received, to the other banks in proportion 
     to the other banks' payments. Any association leaving the 
     Farm Credit System pursuant to Section 7.10 of this Act shall 
     be required, under regulations of the Farm Credit 
     Administration, to pay to its supervising bank a share, based 
     on the association's retail loan volume relative to the 
     retail loan volume of the bank and its affiliated 
     associations had the association remained in the System, of 
     the present value of such future payment, and a liability to 
     the bank in said amount (calculated as if the association had 
     left the System on the date it was placed in liquidation) 
     shall be recognized as a claim in favor of the bank against 
     the estate of any association undergoing liquidation.''

       ``(A) In general.--On the maturity date of the last-
     maturing debt obligation issued under subsection (a) of this 
     section, the Financial Assistance Corporation shall repay to 
     the Secretary of the Treasury the total amount of any annual 
     interest charges on such debt obligations that Farm Credit 
     System institutions (other than the Financial Assistance

     Assistance Corporation shall not be required to pay any 
     additional interest charges on such payments.

     funding and discharge of the obligation of the Financial 
     Assistance Corporation under subparagraph (A), each System 
     bank shall enter into or continue in effect, and comply with, 
     an agreement with the Financial Assistance Corporation under 
     which the bank will make annual annuity-type payments to the 
     Financial Assistance Corporation, beginning no later than 
     December 31, 1992 (except for any bank that did not meet its 
     interim capital requirement on December 31, 1990, in which

     December 31, 1993) in amounts designed to accumulate, in 
     total, including earnings thereon, to an amount equal to the 
     bank's ultimate obligation, and the Financial Assistance 
     Corporation will partially discharge the bank from its 
     obligation under this subparagraph to the extent of each such 
     payment and the earnings thereon as earned. Except in the 
     last five years prior to the date the Financial Assistance 
     Corporation is obligated to make such repayment, no annual 
     payment may exceed .0006 times the bank's and its affiliated 
     associations' average accruing retail loan volume for the 
     preceding year.

     directly, or indirectly through loan pricing or otherwise) 
     all or part of such assessments to its affiliated direct 
     lender associations based on proportionate average accruing 
     retail loan volumes for the preceding year, but the bank

     left the System on the date it was placed in liquidation) 
     shall be recognized as a claim in favor of the Financial 
     Assistance Corporation against the estate of any bank 
     undergoing liquidation.

     The obligations of other banks shall not be reduced in 
     anticipation of any such recoveries from banks leaving the 
     System or in liquidation.
       ``(iii) Refund of recoveries.--The Financial Assistance 
     Corporation shall apply such recoveries, when received, and 
     all earnings thereon, to reduce the other banks' payment 
     obligations, or, to the extent such recoveries are received 
     after the other banks have met their entire payment 
     obligation, shall refund such recoveries, when received, to 
     the other banks in proportion to the other banks' payments.

     liquidation.--Any association terminating System status 
     pursuant to Section 7.10 of this Act shall be required, under 
     regulations of the Farm Credit Administration, to pay to its 
     supervising bank a share, based on the association's retail 
     loan volume relative to the retail loan volume of the bank 
     and its affiliated associations had the association remained 
     in the System, of the estimated present value of all future 
     such assessments against the bank, and a liability to the 
     bank in said amount (calculated as if the association had 
     left the System on the date it was placed in liquidation) 
     shall be recognized as a claim in favor of the bank against 
     the estate of any association undergoing liquidation.

       (2) the reporting of potential conflicts of interest by 
     directors, officers, and employees of institutions of the 
     Farm Credit System benefits the stockholders of such 
     institutions, helps to ensure the financial viability of such 
     institutions, provides information valuable to the Farm 
     Credit Administration in periodic examinations of such 
     institutions, and therefore enhances the safety and soundness 
     of the Farm Credit System; and
       (3) the directors, officers, or employees of some Farm 
     Credit System institutions may not be subject to the 
     regulations of the Farm Credit Administration requiring the 
     disclosure of such financial information and the reporting of 
     such potential conflicts of interest.
       (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this section to ensure 
     that the information reported by the directors, officers, and 
     employees of Farm Credit System institutions under 
     regulations of the Farm Credit Administration requiring the 
     disclosure of financial information and the reporting of 
     potential conflicts of interest--
       (1) provides the stockholders of all Farm Credit System 
     institutions with information to assist such stockholders in 
     making informed decisions regarding the operation of such 
     institutions,
       (2) provides investors and potential investors with 
     information necessary to assist them in making investment 
     decisions regarding Farm Credit System obligations or 
     institutions; and
       (3) provides the Farm Credit Administration with 
     information necessary to allow the Farm Credit Administration 
     to effectively and efficiently examine and regulate all Farm 
     Credit System institutions and thus enhance the safety and 
     soundness of the Farm Credit System.
       (c) Review.--Not later than 120 days after the date of 
     enactment of this section, the Farm Credit Administration 
     shall complete a review of the current regulations of the 
     Farm Credit Administration regarding the disclosure of 
     financial information and the reporting of potential 
     conflicts of interest by the directors, officers, and 
     employees of Farm Credit System institutions. Consistent with 
     the purpose of this section as provided in subsection (b), 
     such review shall address whether the regulations--
       (1) are adequate to fulfill the purpose of this section and 
     such other purposes as the Farm Credit Administration 
     determines to be consistent with the Farm Credit Act of 1971, 
     and other applicable law, and to be otherwise necessary or 
     appropriate;
       (2) currently require the disclosure of financial 
     information and the reporting of potential conflicts of 
     interest by the directors, officers, and employees of all 
     Farm Credit System institutions; and
       (3) currently require the disclosure or reporting of such 
     information by all of the appropriate directors, officers, or 
     employees of Farm Credit System institutions.
       (d) Implementation.--Not later than 360 days after the date 
     of enactment of this section, the Farm Credit Administration 
     shall amend its current financial disclosure and conflict of 
     interest regulations as it determines necessary to carry out 
     the purpose of this section and to address any deficiencies 
     in such regulations that the Farm Credit Administration 
     determines necessary pursuant to the review conducted under 
     subsection (c).

     under this section if the applicant's operation fails, for 2 
     consecutive years, to meet the goals specified in the plan,

     3-year period that begins with the date the commitments made 
     to an applicant are revoked under paragraph (1), the

     Commodities Act Technical Amendments of 1992''.

     of the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act, 1930 (7 
     U.S.C. 499(c)(1)) that a burden on commerce in perishable 
     agricultural commodities is caused by financing arrangements 
     under which commission merchants, dealers, or brokers, who 
     have not made payment for perishable agricultural commodities 
     purchased, contracted to be purchased, or otherwise handled 
     by them on behalf of another person, encumber or give lenders 
     a security interest in, such commodities, or on inventories 
     of food or other products derived from such commodities or 
     products, and any receivables or proceeds from the sale of 
     such commodities or products, and that such arrangements are 
     contrary to the public interest; and that section 5(c) of 
     such Act is intended to remedy such burden on commerce in 
     perishable agricultural commodities and to protect the public 
     interest.

     perishable agricultural commodities, and any receivables or 
     proceeds from the sale of such commodities or products, shall 
     be held in trust by such commission merchant, dealer, broker, 
     or by a lender who finances the business operations of such a 
     commission merchant, dealer, or broker, whether or not the 
     lender holds a security interest in such trust assets, for 
     the benefit of all unpaid suppliers or sellers of such 
     commodities or agents involved in the transaction, until full 
     payment of the sums owing in connection with such 
     transactions has been received by such unpaid suppliers, 
     sellers, or agents. Payment shall not be considered to have 
     been made if the supplier, seller, or agent receives a 
     payment instrument which has been dishonored. The provisions 
     of this subsection shall not apply to transactions between a 
     cooperative association (as defined in section 15(a) of the

     such processor for a fiscal year.
       ``(C) Civil penalty.--Any producer on a farm who violates

     subparagraph in a fair and equitable manner among all the 
     producers of sugarcane harvested from excess acreage that is 
     acquired by such processor.''.

     SEC. 5002. ADJUSTMENT AFTER DISASTER.

     the Secretary may uniformly allow producers to harvest an 
     amount of sugarcane in excess of their proportionate share,

     normal carryover inventory of sugar.''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) a sound and strong infrastructure is the essential core 
     and foundation of the Nation's economic well-being and growth 
     and its ability to compete in the global economy;
       (2) the Nation's infrastructure has been sorely neglected 
     for years, and there is a desperate need at every level of 
     government to increase infrastructure investment for the 
     benefit of future generations;
       (3) it is the responsibility of the Federal Government to 
     provide coordination, direction, and assistance in the 
     restoration and maintenance of a sound infrastructure, 
     including a national transportation system involving surface, 
     air, and water transportation and facilities for restoration 
     and preservation of water quality, prevention of damages from 
     floods, and provision of hydroelectric power and municipal 
     and industrial water supplies;
       (4) it should be a goal of the United States to develop a 
     national intermodal transportation system that moves people 
     and goods in an efficient manner;
       (5) the Nation's future economic direction is dependent on 
     its ability to confront directly the enormous challenges of 
     the global economy, declining productivity growth, energy 
     vulnerability, air pollution, water pollution, and the need 
     to rebuild the Nation's infrastructure;
       (6) a national intermodal transportation system is a 
     coordinated, flexible network of diverse but complementary 
     forms of transportation which moves people and goods in the 
     most efficient manner;
       (7) a national intermodal transportation system will 
     enhance the ability of United States industry to compete in 
     the global marketplace by reducing transportation costs;
       (8) all forms of transportation, including the 
     transportation systems of the future, will be full partners 
     in the effort to reduce energy consumption and air pollution 
     while promoting economic development and productivity growth;
       (9) investment in the infrastructure of the United States 
     will pay immediate and long-term dividends in jobs and 
     economic productivity and provide the foundation for the 
     Nation's continued leadership in the global economic 
     competition of the 21st century;
       (10) infrastructure investment differs significantly from 
     other forms of government spending because it creates new 
     wealth for the Nation;
       (11) the wealth and economic strength of the United States 
     is in the Nation's infrastructure which provides the 
     foundation for all aspects of life;
       (12) failure to invest in the Nation's infrastructure has 
     placed the United States in danger of becoming a service-
     oriented economy rather than having a strong and independent 
     manufacturing-based economy;
       (13) foreign competitors in the global economy have 
     surpassed the Nation's productivity growth through massive 
     infrastructure investments, and many foreign competitors have 
     committed to making multi-trillion dollar infrastructure 
     investments in the future;
       (14) the improvement of the Nation's coastal ports is 
     critical to its ability to compete in the global economy 
     through the efficient import and export of goods;
       (15) the improvement of the Nation's inland waterway system 
     is a central part of a national intermodal transportation 
     system which permits the efficient transport of goods between 
     markets within the Nation and between inland markets and 
     coastal ports;
       (16) the prevention of massive flood damages to the 
     Nation's cities, industries, cultural facilities, municipal 
     facilities, and transportation system plays a vital role in 
     the protection of the Nation's infrastructure and the 
     efficient conduct of commerce;
       (17) the provision of municipal and industrial water supply 
     plays a crucial role in the well-being and functioning of the 
     Nation's communities and industries and in the health, 
     environment, and quality of life of the Nation;
       (18) the generation of hydroelectric power contributes 
     significantly to the Nation's supply of low-cost energy and 
     plays a significant role in reducing air pollution;
       (19) the provision of recreational opportunities and the 
     protection and enhancement of fish and wildlife habitat and 
     environmental values contribute to the well-being of the 
     people of the Nation; and
       (20) improvement and protection of the Nation's 
     infrastructure is an essential, proper, and necessary role of 
     government at all levels.

Para. 112.4  decorum in the house

  The SPEAKER made the following announcement:
  ``The Chair will not diminish current protections against references 
to the President or the Vice President of the United States in debate, 
or to U.S. Senators, who, by long tradition of the House, are recognized 
as deserving comity and respect.
  ``The Chair understands that under the precedents and practices of the 
House a greater degree of latitude does exist with respect to references 
to nominated candidates for President and Vice President of the United 
States who are not incumbents or Members of the Congress. However, the 
Chair believes that in order to maintain decorum in the House, certain 
minimal standards of propriety in debate should apply to all nominated 
candidates for President and Vice President of the United States, and 
that the record and character of such candidates may be properly debated 
without references which constitute a breach of decorum, and the Chair 
advises all Members that future references to nominated candidates for 
President and Vice President of the United States may be subject to 
admonishment and restriction by the Chair if the Chair believes that 
such decorum has been violated.
  ``To do otherwise would create a distinct discrimination between 
candidates of two parties when candidates on one side are incumbents, 
such as Presidents and Vice Presidents, or are Members of Congress, and 
other can- 

[[Page 2106]]

didates do not hold such traditional protection in debate. The Chair 
hopes it will have the cooperation and sensitive regard of all Members 
with respect to such debate.''.
  Subsequently,

Para. 112.5  decorum of the house

  Mr. DeFAZIO during one minute speeches addressed the House and, during 
the course of his remarks,
  Mr. WALKER demanded that certain words be taken down.
  Whereupon,
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, said:
  ``If the gentleman from Pennysylvania [Mr. Walker] will withhold for 
just a minute, the Chair was about to rule that what the gentleman from 
Oregon [Mr. DeFazio] said just a moment ago is violative of the 
statement that the Speaker of the House made a moment ago with regard to 
the propriety and the abusive nature of the language used. And under the 
circumstances the Chair would advise the gentleman from Oregon that he 
should correct his statement.''.
  Mr. DeFAZIO, by unanimous consent, requested that the concluding 
remarks after the quote from the Washington Post be withdrawn.

     rehabilitative services for that condition in a timely 
     manner;
       (2) to expand and improve the services available for 
     veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder 
     related to active duty;
       (3) to eliminate waiting lists for inpatient treatment and 
     other modes of treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder;

     combat-area veterans of the availability of treatment for 
     post-traumatic stress disorder; and

     Department post-traumatic stress disorder treatment units in 
     locations that are readily accessible to veterans residing in 
     rural areas of the United States.
       (b) Considerations.--In developing the plan referred to in

     pertinent information;

       (3) the current and projected capacity of the Department to 
     provide appropriate treatment and rehabilitative services for 
     post-traumatic stress disorder;
       (4) the level and geographic accessibility of inpatient and 
     outpatient care available through the Department for veterans 
     suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder across the 
     United States;
       (5) the desirability of providing that inpatient and 
     outpatient post-traumatic stress disorder care be furnished 
     in facilities of the Department that are physically 
     independent of general psychiatric wards of the medical 
     facilities of the Department;
       (6) the treatment needs of veterans suffering from post-
     traumatic stress disorder who are women, of such veterans who 
     are ethnic minorities (including Native Americans, Native 
     Hawaiians, Asian-Pacific Islanders, and Native Alaskans), and 
     of such veterans who suffer from substance abuse problems in 
     addition to post-traumatic stress disorder; and
       (7) the recommendations of the Special Committee on Post-
     Traumatic-Stress Disorder with respect to (A) specialized 
     inpatient and outpatient programs of the Department for the 
     treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder, and (B) with 
     respect to the establishment of educational programs that are 
     designed for each of the various levels of education,

     professionals involved in the treatment of veterans suffering 
     from post-traumatic stress disorder.

     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the State of the Union for consideration of 
     the bill (H.R. 3596) to amend the Fair Credit Reporting Act 
     to assure the completeness and accuracy of consumer 
     information maintained by credit reporting agencies, to

     improve enforcement, and for other purposes. The first 
     reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. Points of order 
     against consideration of the bill for failure to comply with 
     clause 8 of rule XXI are waived. General debate shall be 
     confined to the bill and shall not exceed one hour equally 
     divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority 
     member of the Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban 
     Affairs. After general debate, the bill shall be considered 
     for amendment under the five-minute rule. It shall be in 
     order to consider as an original bill for the purpose of 
     amendment under the five-minute rule the amendment in the

     Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs now printed in the bill. 
     The committee amendment in the nature of a substitute shall

     offered only in the order printed, may be offered only by the 
     named proponent or a designee, shall be considered as read, 
     shall not be subject to amendment, and shall not be subject 
     to a demand for division of the question in the House or in 
     the Committee of the Whole. Any time specified in the report 
     for debate on an amendment shall be equally divided and 
     controlled by the proponent and an opponent. At the 
     conclusion of consideration of the bill for amendment the 
     Committee shall rise and report the bill to the House with 
     such amendments as may have been adopted. Any Member may 
     demand a separate vote in the House on any amendment adopted 
     in the Committee of the Whole to the bill or to the committee 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute. The previous 
     question shall be considered as ordered on the bill and 
     amendments thereto to final passage without intervening 
     motion except one motion to recommit with or without 
     instructions.

  When said resolution was considered.

resolution to its adoption or rejection and under the operation thereof,

                              SHORT TITLE

       Mandatory Life Imprisonment or Death Penalty for Murder in 
     the District of Columbia.

                           SUMMARY STATEMENT

       This initiative measure, if passed, would increase the 
     penalty for first degree murder in the District of Columbia.
       A person convicted of this crime would be sentenced either 
     to death or life imprisonment without the possibility of 
     parole.

                            LEGISLATIVE TEXT

       The legislative text of the initiative shall read as 
     follows--
       Be it enacted by the Electors of the District of Columbia, 
     that this measure be cited as the ``Mandatory Life 
     Imprisonment or Death Penalty for Murder in the District of 
     Columbia.
       ``Section 801 of the Act entitled `An Act to establish a 
     code of law for the District of Columbia,' approved March 3, 
     1901 (D.C. Code 222404(a)), is amended--
       ``(1) by amending subsection (a) to read as follows:
       `(a) Punishment of murder in the first degree shall be life 
     imprisonment without the possibility of parole, or death.';
       ``(2) by striking subsection (b) and redesignating 
     subsection (c) as subsection (b); and
       ``(3) by adding at the end the following new subsections:
       `(c) Penalty.--A person who commits an offense under 
     subsection (a) shall be punished by death or life 
     imprisonment. A sentence of death under this subsection may 
     be imposed in accordance with the procedures provided in 
     subsections (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), and (l).
       `(d) Mitigating Factors.--In determining whether to 
     recommend a sentence of death, the jury shall consider 
     whether any aspect of the defendant's character, background, 
     or record or any circumstance of the offense that the 
     defendant may proffer as a mitigating factor exists, 
     including the following factors:
       `(1) Mental Capacity.--The defendant's mental capacity to 
     appreciate the wrongfulness of his conduct or to conform his 
     conduct to the requirements of law was significantly 
     impaired.

[[Page 2120]]

       `(2) Duress.--The defendant was under unusual and 
     substantial duress.
       `(3) Participation in offense minor.--The defendant is 
     punishable as a principal (pursuant to section 908 of the Act 
     entitled ``An Act to establish a code of law for the District 
     of Columbia,'' approved March 3, 1901 (D.C. Code 22105)) in 
     the offense, which was committed by another, but the 
     defendant's participation was relatively minor.
       `(e) Aggravating Factors.--In determining whether to 
     recommend a sentence of death, the jury shall consider any 
     aggravating factor for which notice has been provided under 
     subsection (f), including the following factors:
       `(1) Killing in furtherance of drug trafficking.--The 
     defendant engaged in the conduct resulting in death in the 
     course of or in furtherance of drug trafficking activity.
       `(2) Killing in the course of other serious violent 
     crimes.--The defendant engaged in the conduct resulting in 
     death in the course of committing or attempting to commit an 
     offense involving robbery, burglary, sexual abuse, kidnaping, 
     or arson.
       `(3) Multiple killings or endangerment of others.--The 
     defendant committed more than one offense under this section, 
     or in committing the offense knowingly created a grave risk 
     of death to one or more persons in addition to the victim of 
     the offense.
       `(4) Involvement of firearm.--During and in relation to the 
     commission of the offense, the defendant used or possessed a 
     firearm (as defined in paragraph (6) of D.C. Law 185 (D.C. 
     Code 6-2302(6))).
       `(5) Previous conviction of violent felony.--The defendant 
     has previously been convicted of an offense punishable by a 
     term of imprisonment of more than 1 year that involved the 
     use or attempted or threatened use of force against a person 
     or that involved sexual abuse.
       `(6) Killing while incarcerated or under supervision.--The 
     defendant at the time of the offense was confined in or had 
     escaped from a jail, prison, or other correctional or 
     detention facility, was on pre-trial release, or was on 
     probation, parole, supervised release, or other post-
     conviction conditional release.
       `(7) Heinous, cruel or depraved manner of commission.--The 
     defendant committed the offense in an especially heinous, 
     cruel, or depraved manner in that it involved torture or 
     serious physical abuse of the victim.
       `(8) Procurement of the offense by payment.--The defendant 
     procured the commission of the offense by payment, or promise 
     of payment, of anything of pecuniary value.
       `(9) Commission of the offense for pecuniary gain.--The 
     defendant committed the offense as consideration for 
     receiving, or in the expectation of receiving or obtaining, 
     anything of pecuniary value.
       `(10) Substantial planning and premeditation.--The 
     defendant committed the offense after substantial planning 
     and premeditation.
       `(11) Vulnerability of victim.--The victim was particularly 
     vulnerable due to old age, youth, or infirmity.
       `(12) Killing of public servant.--The defendant committed 
     the offense against a public servant--
       `(A) while the public servant was engaged in the 
     performance of his or her official duties;
       `(B) because of the performance of the public servant's 
     official duties; or
       `(C) because of the public servant's status as a public 
     servant.
       `(13) Killing to interfere with or retaliate against 
     witness.--The defendant committed the offense in order to 
     prevent or inhibit any person from testifying or providing 
     information concerning an offense, or to retaliate against 
     any person for testifying or providing such information.
       `(f) Notice of Intent To Seek Death Penalty.--If the 
     government intends to seek the death penalty for an offense 
     under this section, the attorney for the government shall 
     file with the court and serve on the defendant a notice of 
     such intent. The notice shall be provided a reasonable time 
     before the trial or acceptance of a guilty plea, or at such 
     later time as the court may permit for good cause. The notice 
     shall set forth the aggravating factor or factors set forth 
     in subsection (e) and any other aggravating factor or factors 
     that the government will seek to prove as the basis for the 
     death penalty. The factors for which notice is provided under 
     this subsection may include factors concerning the effect of 
     the offense on the victim and the victim's family. The court 
     may permit the attorney for the government to amend the 
     notice upon a showing of good cause.
       `(g) Judge and Jury at Capital Sentencing Hearing.--A 
     hearing to determine whether the death penalty will be 
     imposed for an offense under this section shall be conducted 
     by the judge who presided at trial or accepted a guilty plea, 
     or by another judge if that judge is not available. The 
     hearing shall be conducted before the jury that determined 
     the defendant's guilt if that jury is available. A new jury 
     shall be impaneled for the purpose of the hearing if the 
     defendant pleaded guilty, the trial of guilt was conducted 
     without a jury, the jury that determined the defendant's 
     guilt was discharged for good cause, or reconsideration of 
     the sentence is necessary after the initial imposition of a 
     sentence of death. A jury impaneled under this subsection 
     shall have 12 members unless the parties stipulate to a 
     lesser number at any time before the conclusion of the 
     hearing with the approval of the court. Upon motion of the 
     defendant, with the approval of the attorney for the 
     government, the hearing shall be carried out before the judge 
     without a jury. If there is no jury, references to `the jury' 
     in this section, where applicable, shall be understood as 
     referring to the judge.
       `(h) Proof of Mitigating and Aggravating Factors.--No 
     presentence report shall be prepared if a capital sentencing 
     hearing is held under this section. Any information relevant 
     to the existence of mitigating factors, or to the existence 
     of aggravating factors for which notice has been provided 
     under subsection (f), may be presented by either the 
     government or the defendant, regardless of its admissibility 
     under the rules governing the admission of evidence at 
     criminal trials, except that information may be excluded if 
     its probative value is outweighed by the danger of creating 
     unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, or misleading the 
     jury. The information presented may include trial transcripts 
     and exhibits. The attorney for the government and for the 
     defendant shall be permitted to rebut any information 
     received at the hearing, and shall be given fair opportunity 
     to present argument as to the adequacy of the information to 
     establish the existence of any aggravating or mitigating 
     factor, and as to the appropriateness in that case of 
     imposing a sentence of death. The attorney for the government 
     shall open the argument, the defendant shall be permitted to 
     reply, and the government shall then be permitted to reply in 
     rebuttal.
       `(i) Findings of Aggravating and Mitigating Factors.--The 
     jury shall return special findings identifying any 
     aggravating factor or factors for which notice has been 
     provided under subsection (f) and which the jury unanimously 
     determines have been established by the government beyond a 
     reasonable doubt. A mitigating factor is established if the 
     defendant has proven its existence by a preponderance of the 
     evidence, and any member of the jury who finds the existence 
     of such a factor may regard it as established for purposes of 
     this section regardless of the number of jurors who concur 
     that the factor has been established.
       `(j) Finding Concerning a Sentence of Death.--If the jury 
     specially finds under subsection (i) that 1 or more 
     aggravating factors set forth in subsection (e) exist, and 
     the jury further finds unanimously that there are no 
     mitigating factors or that the aggravating factor or factors 
     specially found under subsection (i) outweigh any mitigating 
     factors, the jury shall recommend a sentence of death. In any 
     other case, the jury shall not recommend a sentence of death. 
     The jury shall be instructed that it must avoid any influence 
     of sympathy, sentiment, passion, prejudice, or other 
     arbitrary factors in its decision, and should make such a 
     recommendation as the information warrants.
       `(k) Special Precaution To Assure Against Discrimination.--
     In a hearing held before a jury, the court, before the return 
     of a finding under subsection (j), shall instruct the jury 
     that, in considering whether to recommend a sentence of 
     death, it shall not consider the race, color, religion, 
     national origin, or sex of the defendant or any victim, and 
     that the jury is not to recommend a sentence of death unless 
     it has concluded that it would recommend a sentence of death 
     for such a crime regardless of the race, color, religion, 
     national origin, or sex of the defendant or any victim. The 
     jury, upon the return of a finding under subsection (j), 
     shall also return to the court a certificate, signed by each 
     juror, that the race, color, religion, national origin, or 
     sex of the defendant or any victim did not affect the juror's 
     individual decision and that the individual juror would have 
     recommended the same sentence for such a crime regardless of 
     the race, color, religion, national origin, or sex of the 
     defendant or any victim.
       `(l) Imposition of a Sentence of Death.--Upon a 
     recommendation under subsection (j) that a sentence of death 
     be imposed, the court shall sentence the defendant to death. 
     Otherwise the court shall impose a sentence of life 
     imprisonment. Without the possibility of parole.
       `(m) Review of a Sentence of Death.--
       `(1) The defendant may appeal a sentence of death under 
     this section by filing a notice of appeal of the sentence 
     within the time provided for filing a notice of appeal of the 
     judgment of conviction. An appeal of a sentence under this 
     subsection may be consolidated within an appeal of the 
     judgment of conviction and shall have priority over all 
     noncapital matters in the court of appeals.
       `(2) The court of appeals shall review the entire record in 
     the case including the evidence submitted at trial and 
     information submitted during the sentencing hearing, the 
     procedures employed in the sentencing hearing, and the 
     special findings returned under subsection (i). The court of 
     appeals shall uphold the sentence if it determines that the 
     sentence of death was not imposed under the influence of 
     passion, prejudice, or any other arbitrary factor, that the 
     evidence and information support the special findings under 
     subsection (i), and that the proceedings were otherwise free 
     of prejudicial error that was properly preserved for review.
       `(3) In any other case, the court of appeals shall remand 
     the case for reconsideration of the sentence or imposition of 
     another authorized sentence as appropriate, except that the 
     court shall not reverse a sentence of death on the ground 
     that an aggravating factor was invalid or was not supported 
     by the evidence and information if at least one aggravating 
     factor described in subsection (e) remains which was found to 
     exist and the court, on the basis of the evidence submitted 
     at trial and the information submitted at

[[Page 2121]]

     the sentencing hearing, finds that the remaining aggravating 
     factor or factors that were found to exist outweigh any 
     mitigating factors. The court of appeals shall state in 
     writing the reasons for its disposition of an appeal of a 
     sentence of death under this section.
       `(n) Implementation of Sentence of Death.--A person 
     sentenced to death under this section shall be committed to 
     the custody of the Attorney General until exhaustion of the 
     procedures for appeal of the judgment of conviction and 
     review of the sentence. When the sentence is to be 
     implemented, the Attorney General shall release the person 
     sentenced to death to the custody of a United States Marshal. 
     The Marshal shall supervise implementation of the sentence in 
     the manner prescribed by the law of a State designated by the 
     court. The Marshal may use State or local facilities, may use 
     the services of an appropriate State or local official or of 
     a person such an official employs, and shall pay the costs 
     thereof in an amount approved by the Attorney General.
       `(o) Special Bar to Execution.--A sentence of death shall 
     not be carried out upon a woman while she is pregnant.
       `(p) Conscientious Objection to Participation in 
     Execution.--No employee of the District of Columbia 
     government, and no person providing services to the 
     government under contract shall be required, as a condition 
     of that employment or contractual obligation, to be in 
     attendance at or to participate in any execution carried out 
     under this section if such participation is contrary to the 
     moral or religious convictions of the employee. For purposes 
     of this subsection, the term ``participate in any execution'' 
     includes personal preparation of the condemned individual and 
     the apparatus used for the execution, and supervision of the 
     activities of other personnel in carrying out such 
     activities.
       `(q) Appointment of Counsel for Indigent Capital 
     Defendants.--A defendant against whom a sentence of death is 
     sought, or on whom a sentence of death has been imposed, 
     under this section, shall be entitled to appointment of 
     counsel from the commencement of trial proceedings until one 
     of the conditions specified in subsection (v) has occurred, 
     if the defendant is or becomes financially unable to obtain 
     adequate representation. Counsel shall be appointed for trial 
     representation as provided in chapter 26 of title 11 of the 
     District of Columbia Code (D.C. Code 11-2601 et seq.), and at 
     least one counsel so appointed shall continue to represent 
     the defendant until the conclusion of direct review of the 
     judgment, unless replaced by the court with other qualified 
     counsel. Except as otherwise provided in this section, 
     chapter 26 of title 11 of the District of Columbia Code (D.C. 
     Code 11-2601 et seq.) shall apply to appointments under this 
     section.
       `(r) Representation After Finality of Judgment.--When a 
     judgment imposing a sentence of death under this section has 
     become final through affirmance by the Supreme Court on 
     direct review, denial of certiorari by the Supreme Court on 
     direct review, or expiration of the time for seeking direct 
     review in the court of appeals or the Supreme Court, the 
     government shall promptly notify the court that imposed the 
     sentence. The court, within 10 days of receipt of such 
     notice, shall proceed to make determination whether the 
     defendant is eligible for appointment of counsel for 
     subsequent proceedings. The court shall issue an order 
     appointing one or more counsel to represent the defendant 
     upon a finding that the defendant is financially unable to 
     obtain adequate representation and wishes to have counsel 
     appointed or is unable competently to decide whether to 
     accept or reject appointment of counsel. The court shall 
     issue an order denying appointment of counsel upon a finding 
     that the defendant is financially able to obtain adequate 
     representation or that the defendant rejected appointment of 
     counsel with an understanding of the consequences of that 
     decision. Counsel appointed pursuant to this subsection shall 
     be different from the counsel who represented the defendant 
     at trial and on direct review unless the defendant and 
     counsel request a continuation or renewal of the earlier 
     representation.
       `(s) Standards for Competence of Counsel.--In relation to a 
     defendant who is entitled to appointment of counsel under 
     subsection (q) or (r), at least one counsel appointed for 
     trial representation must have been admitted to the bar for 
     at least 5 years and have at least 3 years of experience in 
     the trial of felony cases in the Federal district courts. If 
     new counsel is appointed after judgment, at least one counsel 
     so appointed must have been admitted to the bar for at least 
     5 years and have at least 3 years of experience in the 
     litigation of felony cases in the Federal courts of appeals 
     or the Supreme Court. The court, for good cause, may appoint 
     counsel who does not meet these standards, but whose 
     background, knowledge, or experience would otherwise enable 
     him or her to properly represent the defendant, with due 
     consideration of the seriousness of the penalty and the 
     nature of the litigation.
       `(t) Claims of Ineffectiveness of Counsel in Collateral 
     Proceedings.--The ineffectiveness or incompetence of counsel 
     during proceedings on a motion under section 23-110 of the 
     District of Columbia Code in a case under this section shall 
     not be a ground for relief from the judgment or sentence in 
     any proceeding. This limitation shall not preclude the 
     appointment of different counsel at any stage of the 
     proceedings.
       `(u) Time for Collateral Attack on Death Sentence.--A 
     motion under section 23-110 of the District of Columbia Code 
     attacking a sentence of death under this section, or the 
     conviction on which it is predicated, shall be filed within 
     90 days of the issuance of the order under subsection (r) 
     appointing or denying the appointment of counsel for such 
     proceedings. The court in which the motion is filed, for good 
     cause shown, may extend the time for filing for a period not 
     exceeding 60 days. Such a motion shall have priority over all 
     non-capital matters in the district court, and in the court 
     of appeals on review of the district court's decision.
       `(v) Stay of Execution.--The execution of a sentence of 
     death under this section shall be stayed in the course of 
     direct review of the judgment and during the litigation of an 
     initial motion in the case under section 23110 of the 
     District of Columbia Code. The stay shall run continuously 
     following imposition of the sentence and shall expire if--
       `(1) the defendant fails to file a motion under section 23-
     110 of the District of Columbia Code within the time 
     specified in subsection (u), or fails to make a timely 
     application for court of appeals review following the denial 
     of such a motion by a district court;
       `(2) upon completion of district court and court of appeals 
     review under section 23-110 of the District of Columbia Code, 
     the Supreme Court disposes of a petition for certiorari in a 
     manner that leaves the capital sentence undisturbed, or the 
     defendant fails to file a timely petition for certiorari; or
       `(3) before a district court, in the presence of counsel 
     and after having been advised of the consequences of such a 
     decision, the defendant waives the right to file a motion 
     under section 23110 of the District of Columbia Code.
       `(w) Finality of the Decision on Review.--If one of the 
     conditions specified in subsection (v) has occurred, no court 
     thereafter shall have the authority to enter a stay of 
     execution or grant relief in the case unless--
       `(1) the basis for the stay and request for relief is a 
     claim not presented in earlier proceedings;
       `(2) the failure to raise the claim is the result of 
     governmental action in violation of the Constitution or laws 
     of the United States, the result of the Supreme Court's 
     recognition of a new Federal right that is retroactively 
     applicable, or the result of the fact that the factual 
     predicate of the claim could not have been discovered through 
     the exercise of reasonable diligence in time to present the 
     claim in earlier proceedings; and
       `(3) the facts underlying the claim would be sufficient, if 
     proven, to undermine the court's confidence in the 
     determination of guilt on the offense or offenses for which 
     the death penalty was imposed.
       `(x) Commutation of Sentence of Death.--The Mayor shall 
     have power to commute a sentence of death under this section 
     to a sentence of life imprisonment, without parole.
       `(y) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--

Para. 113.4  message from the senate--veto of s. 5

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McDERMOTT, laid before the House a 
message from the Senate, which was read as follows:
  The Senate having proceeded to reconsider the bill (S. 5) to grant 
employees family and temporary medical leave under certain 
circumstances, and for other purposes, returned by the President of the 
United States with his objections to the Senate, in which it originated, 
it was,
  Resolved, That the said bill pass, two-thirds of the Senators present 
having voted in the affirmative.
  The Clerk then read the veto message from the President, as follows:

To the Senate of the United States:
  I am returning herewith without my approval S. 5, the ``Family and 
Medical Leave Act of 1992.'' This bill would mandate that public and 
private employers with 50 or more employees provide their employees 
with leave under certain circumstances.
  I want to strongly reiterate that I have always supported employer 
policies to give time off for a child's birth or adoption or for family 
illness and believe it is important that employers offer these 
benefits. I object, however, to the Federal Government mandating leave 
policies for America's employers and work force. S. 5 would do just 
that.
  America faces its stiffest economic competition in history. If our 
Nation is to succeed in an increasingly complex and competitive global 
marketplace, we must have the flexibility in our workplaces to meet 
this challenge. We must ensure that Federal policies do not stifle the 
creation of new jobs or result in the elimination of existing jobs. The 
Administration is committed to policies that create and preserve jobs 
throughout the economy--serving the most fundamental need of working 
families.
  My Administration is also strongly committed to policies that foster 
a complementary relationship between work and family and encourage the 
development of a strong employer-employee partnership. If these 
policies are to meet the diverse needs of our Nation, they must be 
carefully, flexibly, and sensitively crafted at the workplace by 
employers and employees, and not in Washington, DC., through Government 
mandates imposed by legislation such as S. 5.
  Therefore, I have transmitted to the Congress legislation to 
establish an alternative flexible family leave plan that will encourage 
small and medium-sized businesses to provide family leave for their 
employees.
  My flexible family leave plan is based on a refundable tax credit for 
businesses that establish nondiscriminatory family leave policies for 
all their employees. A refundable tax credit of 20 percent of 
compensation (for a 
credit of up to $100 a week--to a maximum total credit of $1,200) would 
be available for all businesses with fewer than 500 employees, for a 
period of family leave up to 12 weeks in length. Family leave would 
include the birth or adoption of a child or the care of a seriously ill 
child, parent, or spouse. It also would cover a serious health 
condition that prevents the employee from performing his or her job. 
This approach will cover almost all workplaces--smaller companies that 
S. 5 does not cover that are less likely to provide leave to their 
employees. My plan covers about 15 million more workers than would be 
eligible under S. 5 and 20 times the number of workplaces. Those not 
affected by my plan work for large businesses, which generally have 
established family leave policies.
  I want to emphasize again that my bill will help where the concern is 
most acute--with small and medium-sized businesses and the workers in 
those businesses. S. 5 misses these key workplaces by excluding 
businesses with fewer than 50 employees. We know that these hard-
pressed small companies usually offer fewer benefits than large firms, 
that they generate most of our new jobs--in fact, they provide the 
majority of people with their first job--and that they are more likely 
to employ women and reentrants to the labor force. Under my proposal, 
many more of the millions of men and women employed by smaller 
businesses would be able to take advantage of family leave.
  The tax credit approach to the family leave issue will provide the 
flexibility workers and employers need to enable them to establish the 
optimal package of benefits that meets their particular needs. This way 
the parties can decide which package of benefits is best suited to 
them. In addition, because a tax credit is not a mandate, it does not 
put struggling firms at an economic disadvantage in the global 
marketplace. It maintains the competitiveness of American business 
while providing the benefits American workers need. It provides 
positive incentives, not mandates with veiled costs that impede growth.
  Both the House and Senate passed family leave legislation almost 1 
year ago, but they have kept it in the filing cabinet until now. That 
is nearly an entire year with no action or any willingness to depart 
from a federally mandated approach, only an interest in politicizing 
the issue.
  I have proposed a truly flexible family leave program. I am willing 
to work with the Congress to get it passed and signed into law 
immediately.
  There appears to be a pattern here. Three years ago, my 
Administration had a fundamental disagreement with these same 
congressional committees on child care policy. It took the Democratic-
controlled Congress more than a year to get the point--I would not buy 
a Government-controlled and mandated child care program. When they

[[Page 2128]]

got serious, we rapidly hammered out flexible child care legislation 
patterned after my proposal, that allowed individuals to choose their 
benefits.
  The same holds true for family leave. If the Congress is serious 
about encouraging family leave, I ask those Members of Congress who 
have joined me in the past in opposing Government mandates to work with 
me again. The Congress should pass a family leave bill quickly that 
provides positive incentives for family leave and is responsive to the 
needs of workers and employers.
                                                         George Bush.  
                                   The White House, September 22, 1992.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McDERMOTT, by unanimous consent, 
announced that the objections of the President were ordered spread upon 
the pages of the Journal.
  Mr. GEPHARDT moved that further consideration of the veto message be 
postponed until Wednesday, September 30, 1992.
  After debate,
  By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered on said 
motion.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to the motion to postpone consideration?
  The question being put, viva voce,
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McDERMOTT, announced that the yeas had

Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), the national emergency terminates on each 
anniversary of its declaration unless I publish in the Federal Register 
and transmit to the Congress notice of its continuation.
  I am hereby advising the Congress that I have extended the national 
emergency declared in Executive Order No. 12730. Attached is a copy of 
the notice of extension.

Para. 113.23  message from the president--export administration

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McDERMOTT, laid before the House a 
message from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  1. On September 30, 1990, in Executive Order No. 12730, I declared a 
national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act 
(IEEPA) (50 U.S.C. 1701, et seq.) to deal with the threat to the 
national security and foreign policy of the United States caused by the 
lapse of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (50 U.S.C. 
App. 2401, et seq.), and the system of controls maintained under that 
Act. In that order, I continued in effect, to the extent permitted by 
law, the provisions of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as 
amended, the Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. 768, et seq. 
(1991)), and the delegations of authority set forth in Executive Order 
No. 12002 of July 7, 1977, Executive Order No. 12214 of May 2, 1980, and 
Executive Order No. 12131 of May 4, 1979, as amended by Executive Order 
No. 12551 of February 21, 1986.
  2. I issued Executive Order No. 12730 pursuant to the authority vested 
in me as President by the Constitution and laws of the United States, 
including IEEPA, the National Emergencies Act (NEA) (50 U.S.C. 1601, et 
seq.), and section 301 of title 3 of the United States Code. At that 
time, I also submitted a report to the Congress pursuant to section 
204(b) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1703(b)). Section 204 of IEEPA requires 
follow-up reports, with respect to actions or changes, to be submitted 
every 6 months. Additionally, section 401(c) of the NEA requires that 
the President, within 90 days after the end of each 6-month period 
following a declaration of a national emergency, report to the Congress 
on the total expenditures directly attributable to that declaration. 
This report, covering the 6-month period from April 1, 1992, to 
September 30, 1992, is submitted in compliance with these requirements.
  3. Since the issuance of Executive Order No. 12730, the Department of 
Commerce has continued to administer and enforce the system of export 
controls, including antiboycott provisions, contained in the Export 
Administration Regulations. In administering these controls, the 
Department has acted under a policy of conforming actions under 
Executive Order No. 12730 to those required under the Export 
Administration Act, insofar as appropriate.

  4. Since my last report to the Congress, there have been several 
significant developments in the area of export controls:
  --As the nations of Central Europe and the former Soviet Union 
    continue their progress towards democracy and market economies, 
    United States Government experts have been working with officials 
    of Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, 
    Hungary, Poland, Romania, the Baltic States, and many republics of 
    the former Soviet Union to implement and strengthen their export 
    control systems, including pre-license inspections and post-
    shipment verifications. These developments will

[[Page 2138]]

    facilitate enhanced trade in high technology items and other 
    commodities in the region, while helping to prevent unauthorized 
    shipments or uses of such items. At the same time, we have been 
    engaged in activities with the Central and Eastern European 
    countries to assist in the prevention of proliferation of weapons 
    of mass destruction and corresponding technology. A significant 
    result of these activities was the removal of Hungary from the list 
    of proscribed destinations to the list of free world destinations 
    on May 1, 1992, thereby liberalizing export controls with respect 
    to Hungary and easing the burden on exporters dealing with Hungary. 
    This action should facilitate a significant increase in exports and 
    reexports to Hungary. (57 F.R. 19805, May 8, 1992.)
  --Working diligently with our Coordinating Committee (COCOM) partners 
    to streamline multilateral national security controls, we are 
    pleased to report the following important developments:
    --Elimination of nearly all individual license requirements for 
      exports to COCOM and cooperating countries, enabling exporters to 
      ship items without prior agency approval. (57 F.R. 18819, May 1, 
      1992.)
    --Elimination of most U.S. reexport authorizations for U.S.-origin 
      goods going from COCOM and cooperating countries to most third 
      countries, except when destined to a country or region of 
      proliferation concern. (57 F.R. 18817, May 1, 1992.)
    --Liberalized licensing requirements on exports to Hong Kong and 
      New Zealand, following their designation as COCOM cooperating 
      destinations. (57 F.R. 19334, May 5, 1992.)
    --At the June 1992 High-Level Meeting in Paris, in response to a 
      proposal from former Secretary of State James Baker, our COCOM 
      allies agreed to establish a new ``COCOM Cooperation Forum'' 
      (CCF) to include the 17 members of COCOM, the newly independent 
      states of the former Soviet Union (NIS), and most recently other 
      Central and Eastern European nations. The CCF hopes to engage 
      these nations in further establishing controls for sensitive 
      goods and technologies, and to provide an impetus for wider 
      access by those countries to controlled items. The first High-
      Level Meeting of the CCF is scheduled for late November of this 
      year.
    --Also at the June High-Level Meeting, the COCOM partners agreed to 
      significantly liberalize export controls on telecommunications 
      exports to the NIS, which should facilitate rapid and reliable 
      telecommunications between the NIS and the West, as well as 
      modern, cost-effective domestic telecommunications systems.
    --The Department of Commerce also recently revised the regulations 
      governing the Distribution License procedure, thereby allowing 
      expanded use of this special license and eliminating many current 
      prior-approval requirements. The Distribution License, which 
      permits multiple exports of controlled items to approved 
      consignees in eligible countries without prior review of 
      individual transactions, is used by approximately 125 of the 
      largest exporters to export computers and other items to many 
      countries. (57 F.R. 18815, May 1, 1992.)
    --In my last report, I noted that the Department of Commerce issued 
      a conforming regulation to bring the Commerce Control List (CCL) 
      into line with special country- and commodity-based controls. In 
      this action, the transfer from the State Department to the 
      Commerce Department of licensing jurisdiction over certain civil 
      aircraft inertial navigation equipment was implemented. (57 F.R. 
      4553, February 6, 1992.) This transfer of items formerly included 
      in the State Department's U.S. Munitions List (USML) to the CCL 
      is ongoing. The majority of overlaps between the USML and the CCL 
      were eliminated in the April 25, 1992, amendment to the USML. (57 
      F.R. 15227.) In the future, certain commercial telecommunications 
      satellites, imaging technologies, and navigational technologies 
      will be removed from the USML and added to the CCL.
    --We are continuing our efforts to address the threat to the 
      national security and foreign policy interests of the United 
      States posed by the spread of weapons of mass destruction and 
      missile delivery systems. As such, we have been working with our 
      major trading partners to strengthen export controls over goods, 
      technology, and other forms of assistance that can contribute to 
      the spread of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and 
      missile systems.
    --At the June 1992 meeting of the 22-nation Australia Group (AG), a 
      consortium of nations that seeks to prevent the proliferation of 
      chemical and biological weapons (CBW), the delegates agreed to 
      establish a refined common control list for exports of dual-use 
      biological equipment and to increase from 50 to 54 the number of 
      precursor chemicals subject to control. The Commerce Department 
      is in the process of publishing rules reflecting the changes to 
      conform the U.S. list to the AG list.
    --The United States has also been a key participant in the ongoing 
      Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) negotiations in Geneva, 
      Switzerland. On September 3 the Conference on Disarmament, which 
      is the drafting body for the CWC, forwarded to the United Nations 
      General Assembly, a draft CWC, which includes a prohibition on 
      the design, development, production, or use of chemical weapons, 
      as well as destruction of chemical weapons production facilities 
      and stockpiles. The United States strongly supports these 
      provisions.
    --In April, the 27-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), in which 
      the United States participates, formally established a 
      multilateral regime to control nuclear-related dual-use items 
      similar to the nuclear-referral list currently administered by 
      the Department of Commerce. The Department is working to publish 
      a rule to conform the U.S. list with the NSG list.
    --At the June-July plenary session in Oslo, the Missile Technology 
      Control Regime (MTCR) members welcomed Greece, Ireland, Portugal, 
      and Switzerland to their ranks, bringing the total membership to 
      22 nations. The MTCR members also agreed to amend the Guidelines 
      and Equipment and Technology Annex to ensure adequate control of 
      delivery systems for all types of weapons of mass destruction--
      including chemical and biological weapons, as well as nuclear 
      weapons. The MTCR partners expect to have the revised Guidelines 
      in effect by the end of October 1992.
    --The Commerce Department has also participated in implementation 
      of missile technology sanctions imposed by the Department of 
      State under Title XVII of the National Defense Authorization Act 
      for FY 1991 (Public Law 101-510). Sanctions, which include denial 
      of export licenses, have been imposed on the following foreign 
      entities: ARMSCOR (South Africa), Changgwang Credit Corporation 
      (North Korea), China Great Wall Industry Corporation (PRC), China 
      Precision Machinery Import-Export Corporation (PRC), Glavkosmos 
      (Russia), Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO--India), 
      Lyongaksan Machineries and Equipment Export Corporation (North 
      Korea), Ministry of Defense (Syria), Ministry of Defense and 
      Armed Forces Logistics (Iran), Space and Upper Atmosphere 
      Research Commission (SUPARCO--Pakistan), and Syrian Scientific 
      Research Center a/k/a Centre d'Etudes et Recherches Scientifique 
      (Syria). The sanctions imposed in June 1991 on the two Chinese 
      entities were recently waived.
    --In the area of supercomputers we have established a supercomputer 
      safeguard regime with Japan, and

[[Page 2139]]

      we are negotiating with our European trading partners to expand 
      this regime. Under the provisions published in May, exports of 
      supercomputers to Canada do not require a license, exports to 
      Japan may be made under General License GCT, and both 
      Distribution Licenses and individual validated licenses are 
      available for exports to many Western European destinations with 
      only minimum safeguards. Supercomputer exports involve sensitive 
      national security and foreign policy interests, such as 
      cryptology, strategic defense, and submarine warfare; the 
      multilateral safeguard regime is therefore intended to establish 
      uniform and effective international policies and procedures to 
      protect supercomputers from unauthorized end-uses and end-users, 
      without unnecessarily burdening U.S. exporters. (57 F.R. 20963, 
      May 18, 1992.)
    --At the beginning of the year, I announced the lifting of the U.S. 
      embargo against Cambodia in response to the United Nations-
      directed comprehensive political settlement of the decades-long 
      Cambodian conflict. In April the Commerce Department issued a 
      rule removing Cambodia from the list of embargoed countries and 
      revising licensing policies and procedures affecting Cambodia and 
      Laos to allow these countries to receive general license 
      treatment for exports and reexports of many items. (57 F.R. 
      11576, April 6, 1992.)
    --More recently, the Department issued a rule permitting commercial 
      exports of humanitarian goods--including food, building 
      materials, and health and educational items to Vietnam, under a 
      new general license. This liberalization in export control policy 
      is consistent with the step-by-step process for normalizing 
      relations with Vietnam, and should further reduce paperwork and 
      expand trade to benefit America's exporters. (57 F.R. 31658, July 
      17, 1992.)
  --Finally, our enforcement efforts are proceeding apace as we 
    continue to enforce export controls vigorously. The export control 
    provisions of the Export Administration Regulations are enforced 
    jointly by the Commerce Department's Office of Export Enforcement 
    and the U.S. Customs Service. Both of these agencies investigate 
    allegations and, where appropriate, refer them for criminal 
    prosecution by the Justice Department. Additionally, the Commerce 
    Department has continued its practices of imposing significant 
    administrative sanctions for violations, including civil penalties 
    and denial of export privileges.
    --Commerce's Office of Export Enforcement (OEE) has continued its 
      vital preventive programs such as pre-license checks and post-
      shipment verifications, export license review, and on-site 
      verification visits by teams of enforcement officers in many 
      countries. The OEE has also continued its outreach to the 
      business community to assist exporters with their compliance 
      programs and to solicit their help in OEE's enforcement effort. 
      The OEE has initiated its well-received Business Executive 
      Enforcement Team (BEET) to enhance interaction between the 
      regulators and the regulated.
    --The OEE has also initiated a new program--the Strategic and Non-
      proliferation Enforcement Program (SNEP)--which targets critical 
      enforcement resources on exports to countries of concern in the 
      Middle East and elsewhere.
    --In one of many successful enforcement efforts, following his plea 
      of guilty to several counts of an indictment charging him with 
      violating U.S. export control laws, Don Danesh, an Iranian 
      national doing business in the United States, was sentenced to 
      serve 12 months in jail and placed on supervised probation for an 
      additional 36 months. Danesh's associate, Ray Amiri, also an 
      Iranian national doing business in the United States, is expected 
      to be sentenced in the near future following his guilty plea. In 
      developments related to the criminal case, on May 29, 1992, the 
      Acting Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement renewed an 
      order temporarily denying the export privileges of Amiri, his 
      company, and Danesh. (57 F.R. 24242, June 8, 1992.)
    --In the last 6 months, the Department has continued to enforce the 
      antiboycott law vigorously. The Office of Antiboycott Compliance 
      (OAC) is fully staffed with 30 full-time employees, and OAC has 
      doubled the level of civil penalties it seeks to impose within 
      the statutory $10,000 per violation maximum. The total dollar 
      amount of civil penalties imposed so far in fiscal year 1992 
      approaches $2 million, the second largest amount in the history 
      of the program.
    --During this 6-month reporting period, significant civil penalties 
      were assessed against several companies in antiboycott compliance 
      cases. Among them, by Order of May 19, 1992, L.A. Gear, Inc., was 
      assessed a civil penalty of $404,000 to settle allegations that 
      the company complied with boycott requests from a customer in 
      Kuwait and that it failed to report its receipt of boycott 
      requests. On August 12, 1992, the Bank of Baroda, one of India's 
      largest banks, was assessed a civil penalty of $502,000 to settle 
      allegations that it implemented letters of credit containing 
      prohibited boycott conditions and that it failed to report its 
      receipt of boycott requests. After reviewing data related to the 
      financial condition of the bank, the Department agreed to suspend 
      payment of $227,000 of the $502,000 civil penalty.
  5. The expenses incurred by the Federal Government in the 6-month 
period from April 1, 1992, to September 30, 1992, that are directly 
attributable to the exercise of authorities conferred by the 
declaration of a national emergency with respect to export controls 
were largely centered in the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Export 
Administration. Expenditures by the Department of Commerce are 
anticipated to be $19,186 million, most of which represents program 
operating costs, wage and salary costs for Federal personnel, and 
overhead expenses.
  6. The unrestricted access of foreign parties to U.S. goods, 
technology, and technical data, and the existence of certain boycott 
practices of foreign nations, in light of the expiration of the Export 
Administration Act of 1979, continue to constitute an unusual and 
extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and 
economy of the United States. I shall continue to exercise the powers 
at my disposal to retain the export control system, including the 
antiboycott provisions, and will continue to report periodically to the 
Congress.

Para. 114.9  communication from the clerk--message from the president

communication, which was read as follows:

                                               Washington, DC,

                                               September 28, 1992.
     Hon. Thomas S. Foley
     The Speaker, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: Pursuant to the permission granted in 
     Clause 5 of Rule III of the Rules of the U.S. House of 
     Representatives, I have the honor to transmit a sealed 
     envelope received from the White House on Friday, September 
     25, 1992 at 7:05 p.m. and said to contain a message from the 
     President whereby he transmits proposed legislation entitled 
     the ``Federal Pay Reduction Act of 1992'' and a section-by-
     section analysis of the legislation.
       With great respect, I am
           Sincerely yours,
                                              Donnald K. Anderson,
                                 Clerk, House of Representatives. 

Para. 114.10  federal pay reduction act

  The Clerk then read the message from the President, as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  I am pleased to transmit today for your immediate consideration and 
enactment the ``Federal Pay Reduction Act of 1992.'' This legislation is 
part of my Agenda for American Renewal. The proposal is an important 
step toward ``rightsizing'' our Government--making it more fiscally 
responsible and reducing its size and structure. Also transmitted is a 
section-by-section analysis.
  There are many in America who are out of work or uncertain of their 
prospects. The Federal deficit constrains the capacity to rejuvenate the 
economy. It is therefore appropriate that those who lead the Government 
make a personal contribution--toward reducing the deficit and as a 
symbol of our

[[Page 2143]]

understanding of the concerns of so many Americans. Accordingly, this 
proposal would reduce the salary of the President, the Vice President, 
and the Speaker of the House of Representatives by a full 10 percent. 
For other leaders in our Government--Members of Congress, senior 
officials paid more than $75,000 in all three branches of the 
Government, and high-ranking military officers--the pay reductions would 
be 5 percent. An otherwise scheduled pay increase in January 1993 for 
these officials would not take place.
  Under our Constitution, the President's salary can only be changed at 
the beginning of a new term of office. Pay reductions for all others 
affected will take place with the first pay period beginning on or after 
January 20, 1993. It is therefore essential that this legislation be 
enacted immediately, before the adjournment of the current Congress.
                                                            George Bush.
  The White House, September 25, 1992.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service, 
the Committee on House Administration, and the Committee on Armed 
Services and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 102-397).

Para. 114.11  public works projects

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HUBBARD, laid before the House a

     for their proceedings to be conducted fairly and efficiently;
       Whereas the Senate's first code of rules provided that 
     ``every question of order shall be decided by the presiding 
     officer, without debate'';
       Whereas Thomas Jefferson, serving as the Senate's second 
     president from 1797 to 1801, prepared for his own guidance a 
     manual of legislative practice that included, under 53 
     topical headings, precedents from major authorities on 
     parliamentary conduct;
       Whereas ``Jefferson's Manual'' set the framework for the 
     evolution of the Senate's rules and procedures, served to 
     inspire respect for parliamentary law in the new Nation, and 
     stands as one of Jefferson's most enduring intellectual 
     ventures;
       Whereas ``Jefferson's Manual'' was first printed for the 
     use of the Senate in 1801 and was subsequently published by 
     the Senate on a regular basis from 1828, 1975;
       Whereas the House of Representatives in 1837 provided by 
     rule, which still exists, that the provisions of 
     ``Jefferson's Manual'' should ``govern the House in all cases 
     to which they are applicable and in which they are not 
     inconsistent with the standing rules and orders of the 
     House''; and
       Whereas April 13, 1993, marks the 250th anniversary of the 
     birth of Thomas Jefferson and it is fitting on this occasion 
     to honor Jefferson and the continued development of 
     parliamentary law: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives 
     concurring), That there shall be printed as a Senate 
     document, the book entitled ``A Manual of Parliamentary 
     Practice for the Use of the Senate of the United States'' by 
     Thomas Jefferson (with the editorial assistance of the Senate 
     Historical Office under the supervision of the Secretary of 
     the Senate).
       Sec. 2. Such document shall include illustrations, and 
     shall be in such style, form, manner, and binding as directed 
     by the Joint Committee on Printing after consultation with 
     the Secretary of the Senate.
       Sec. 3. In addition to the usual number of copies, there 
     shall be printed with suitable binding 10,000 copies for the 
     use of the Senate and House of Representatives, to be 
     allocated as determined jointly by the Secretary of the

     et seq.) is amended to read as follows:
               ``TITLE VII--HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION

                        ``PART A--STUDENT LOANS

  ``Subpart I--Insured Health Education Assistance Loans to Graduate 
                                Students

     ``SEC. 701. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.

       ``The purpose of this subpart is to enable the Secretary to 
     provide a Federal program of student loan insurance for 
     students in (and certain former students of) eligible 
     institutions (as defined in section 719).

     ``SEC. 702. SCOPE AND DURATION OF LOAN INSURANCE PROGRAM.

       ``(a) In General.--The total principal amount of new loans 
     made and installments

[[Page 2147]]

     paid pursuant to lines of credit (as defined in section 719) 
     to borrowers covered by Federal loan insurance under this 
     subpart shall not exceed $350,000,000 for fiscal year 1993, 
     $375,000,000 for fiscal year 1994, and $425,000,000 for 
     fiscal year 1995. If the total amount of new loans made and 
     installments paid pursuant to lines of credit in any fiscal 
     year is less than the ceiling established for such year, the 
     difference between the loans made and installments paid and 
     the ceiling shall be carried over to the next fiscal year and 
     added to the ceiling applicable to that fiscal year, and if 
     in any fiscal year no ceiling has been established, any 
     difference carried over shall constitute the ceiling for 
     making new loans (including loans to new borrowers) and 
     paying installments for such fiscal year. Thereafter, Federal 
     loan insurance pursuant to this subpart may be granted only 
     for loans made (or for loan installments paid pursuant to 
     lines of credit) to enable students, who have obtained prior 
     loans insured under this subpart, to continue or complete 
     their educational program or to obtain a loan under section 
     705(a)(1)(B) to pay interest on such prior loans; but no 
     insurance may be granted for any loan made or installment 
     paid after September 30, 1998. The total principal amount of 
     Federal loan insurance available under this subsection shall 
     be granted by the Secretary without regard to any 
     apportionment for the purpose of chapter 15 of title 31, 
     United States Code, and without regard to any similar 
     limitation.
       ``(b) Certain Limitations and Priorities.--
       ``(1) Limitations regarding lenders, states, or areas.--The 
     Secretary may, if necessary to assure an equitable 
     distribution of the benefits of this subpart, assign, within 
     the maximum amounts specified in subsection (a), Federal loan 
     insurance quotas applicable to eligible lenders, or to States 
     or areas, and may from time to time reassign unused portions 
     of these quotas.
       ``(2) Priority for certain lenders.--In providing 
     certificates of insurance under section 706 through 
     comprehensive contracts, the Secretary shall give priority to 
     eligible lenders that agree--
       ``(A) to make loans to students at interest rates below the 
     rates prevailing, during the period involved, for loans 
     covered by Federal loan insurance pursuant to this subpart; 
     or
       ``(B) to make such loans under terms that are otherwise 
     favorable to the student relative to the terms under which 
     eligible lenders are generally making such loans during such 
     period.
       ``(c) Authority of Student Loan Marketing Association.--
       ``(1) In general.--Subject to paragraph (2), the Student 
     Loan Marketing Association, established under part B of title 
     IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, is authorized to make 
     advances on the security of, purchase, service, sell, 
     consolidate, or otherwise deal in loans which are insured by 
     the Secretary under this subpart, except that if any loan 
     made under this subpart is included in a consolidated loan 
     pursuant to the authority of the Association under part B of 
     title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, the interest 
     rate on such consolidated loan shall be set at the weighted 
     average interest rate of all such loans offered for 
     consolidation and the resultant per centum shall be rounded 
     downward to the nearest one-eighth of 1 per centum, except 
     that the interest rate shall be no less than the applicable 
     interest rate of the guaranteed student loan program 
     established under part B of title IV of the Higher Education 
     Act of 1965. In the case of such a consolidated loan, the 
     borrower shall be responsible for any interest which accrues 
     prior to the beginning of the repayment period of the loan, 
     or which accrues during a period in which principal need not 
     be paid (whether or not such principal is in fact paid) by 
     reason of any provision of the Higher Education Act of 1965.
       ``(2) Applicability of certain federal regulations.--With 
     respect to Federal regulations for lenders, this subpart may 
     not be construed to preclude the applicability of such 
     regulations to the Student Loan Marketing Association or to 
     any other entity in the business of purchasing student loans, 
     including such regulations with respect to applications, 
     contracts, and due diligence.

                   LOAN INSURANCE.

       ``(a) In General.--The total of the loans made to a student 
     in any academic year or its equivalent (as determined by the 
     Secretary) which may be covered by Federal loan insurance

     student enrolled in a school of medicine, osteopathic 
     medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, optometry, or 
     podiatric medicine, and $12,500 in the case of a student 
     enrolled in a school of pharmacy, public health, allied 
     health, or chiropractic, or a graduate program in health 
     administration or clinical psychology. The aggregate insured 
     unpaid principal amount for all such insured loans made to 
     any borrower shall not at any time exceed $80,000 in the case 
     of a borrower who is or was a student enrolled in a school of 
     medicine, osteopathic medicine, dentistry, veterinary 
     medicine, optometry, or podiatric medicine, and $50,000 in 
     the case of a borrower who is or was a student enrolled in a 
     school of pharmacy, public health, allied health, or 
     chiropractic, or a graduate program in health administration 
     or clinical psychology. The annual insurable limit per 
     student shall not be exceeded by a line of credit under which 
     actual payments by the lender to the borrower will not be 
     made in any year in excess of the annual limit.
       ``(b) Extent of Insurance Liability.--The insurance 
     liability on any loan insured by the Secretary under this 
     subpart shall be 100 percent of the unpaid balance of the 
     principal amount of the loan plus interest. The full faith 
     and credit of the United States is pledged to the payment of 
     all amounts which may be required to be paid under the 
     provisions of section 707 or 714.

       ``Loans made by eligible lenders in accordance with this 
     subpart shall be insurable by the Secretary whether made from 
     funds fully owned by the lender or from funds held by the 
     lender in a trust or similar capacity and available for such 
     loans.

     ``SEC. 705. ELIGIBILITY OF BORROWERS AND TERMS OF INSURED 
                   LOANS.

     application by an eligible lender, made upon such form, 
     containing such information, and supported by such evidence 
     as the Secretary may require, and otherwise in conformity 
     with this section, the Secretary finds that the applicant has 
     made a loan to an eligible borrower which is insurable under 
     the provisions of this subpart, he may issue to the applicant 
     a certificate of insurance covering the loan and setting 
     forth the amount and terms of the insurance.
       ``(2) Effective date of insurance.--Insurance evidenced by 
     a certificate of insurance pursuant to subsection (a)(1) 
     shall become effective upon the date of issuance of the 
     certificate, except that the Secretary is authorized, in 
     accordance with regulations, to issue commitments with 
     respect to proposed loans, or with respect to lines (or 
     proposed lines) of credit, submitted by eligible lenders, and 
     in that event, upon compliance with subsection (a)(1) by the

     as of the date when any loan, or any payment by the lender 
     pursuant to a line of credit, to be covered by such insurance 
     is made to a student described in section 705(a)(1). Such 
     insurance shall cease to be effective upon 60 days' default 
     by the lender in the payment of any installment of the 
     premiums payable pursuant to section 708.
       ``(3) Certain agreements for lenders.--An application 
     submitted pursuant to subsection (a)(1) shall contain--

       ``(1) In general.--In lieu of requiring a separate 
     insurance application and issuing a separate certificate of 
     insurance for each loan made by an eligible lender as 
     provided in subsection (a), the Secretary may, in accordance 
     with regulations consistent with section 702, issue to any 
     eligible lender applying therefor a certificate of 
     comprehensive insurance coverage which shall, without further 
     action by the Secretary, insure all insurable loans made by 
     that lender, on or after the date of the certificate and 
     before a specified cutoff date, within the limits of an 
     aggregate maximum amount stated in the certificate. Such 
     regulations may provide for conditioning such insurance, with 
     respect to any loan, upon compliance by the lender with such 
     requirements (to be stated or incorporated by reference in 
     the certificate) as in the Secretary's judgment will best 
     achieve the purpose of this subsection while protecting the 
     financial interest of the United States and promoting the 
     objectives of this subpart, including (but not limited to) 
     provisions as to the reporting of such loans and information 
     relevant thereto to the Secretary and as to the payment of 
     initial and other premiums and the effect of default therein, 
     and including provision for confirmation by the Secretary 
     from time to time (through endorsement of the certificate) of 
     the coverage of specific new loans by such certificate, which 
     confirmation shall be incontestable by the Secretary in the 
     absence of fraud or misrepresentation of fact or patent 
     error.

     a certificate of comprehensive insurance coverage issued 
     under this subsection grants to a borrower a line of credit 
     extending beyond the cutoff date specified in that 
     certificate, loans or payments thereon made by the holder 
     after that date pursuant to the line of credit shall not be 
     deemed to be included in the coverage of that certificate 
     except as may be specifically provided therein; but, subject 
     to the limitations of section 702, the Secretary may, in 
     accordance with regulations, make commitments to insure such 
     future loans or payments, and such commitments may be honored 
     either as provided in subsection (a) or by inclusion of such 
     insurance in comprehensive coverage under this subsection for 
     the period or periods in which such future loans or payments 
     are made.
       ``(c) Assignment of Insurance Rights.--The rights of an 
     eligible lender arising under insurance evidenced by a 
     certificate of insurance issued to it under this section may 
     be assigned by such lender, subject to regulation by the 
     Secretary, only to--

     the business of purchasing student loans); or
       ``(2) the Student Loan Marketing Association.

     consolidation of the obligations of two or more federally 
     insured loans obtained by a borrower in any fiscal year into 
     a single obligation evidenced by a single instrument of 
     indebtedness shall not affect the insurance by the United 
     States. If the loans thus consolidated are covered by 
     separate certificates of insurance issued under subsection 
     (a), the Secretary may upon surrender of the original 
     certificates issue a new certificate of insurance in 
     accordance with that subsection upon the consolidated 
     obligation. If the loans thus consolidated are covered by a 
     single comprehensive certificate issued under subsection (b), 
     the Secretary may amend that certificate accordingly.
       ``(e) Rule of Construction Regarding Consolidation of 
     Debts.--Nothing in this section shall be construed to 
     preclude the lender and the borrower, by mutual agreement, 
     from consolidating all of the borrower's debts into a single 
     instrument under the terms applicable to an insured loan made 
     at the same time as the consolidation. The lender or loan 
     holder should provide full information to the borrower 
     concerning the advantages and disadvantages of loan 
     consolidation. Nothing in this section shall be construed to 
     preclude the consolidation of the borrower's loans insured 
     under this subpart under section 428C of the Higher Education 
     Act of 1965. Any loans insured pursuant to this subpart that 
     are consolidated under section 428C of such Act shall not be 
     eligible for special allowance payments under section 438 of 
     such Act.

     ``SEC. 707. DEFAULT OF BORROWER.

       ``(a) Conditions for Payment to Beneficiary.--Upon default 
     by the borrower on any loan covered by Federal loan insurance 
     pursuant to this subpart, and after a substantial collection 
     effort (including, subject to subsection (h), commencement 
     and prosecution of an action) as determined under regulations 
     of the Secretary, the insurance beneficiary shall promptly 
     notify the Secretary and the Secretary shall, if requested 
     (at that time or after further collection efforts) by the 
     beneficiary, or may on his own motion, if the insurance is 
     still in effect, pay to the beneficiary the amount of the 
     loss sustained by the insured upon that loan as soon as that 
     amount has been determined. Not later than one year after the 
     date of the enactment of the Health Professions Education 
     Extension Amendments of 1992, the Secretary shall establish 
     performance standards for lenders and holders of loans under 
     this subpart, including fees to be imposed for failing to 
     meet such standards.
       ``(b) Subrogation.--Upon payment by the Secretary of the 
     amount of the loss pursuant to subsection (a), the United 
     States shall be subrogated for all of the rights of the 
     holder of the obligation upon the insured loan and shall be 
     entitled to an assignment of the note or other evidence of 
     the insured loan by the insurance beneficiary. If the net 
     recovery made by the Secretary on a loan after deduction of 
     the cost of that recovery (including reasonable 
     administrative costs) exceeds the amount of the loss, the 
     excess shall be paid over to the insured. The Secretary may 
     sell without recourse to eligible lenders (or other entities 
     that the Secretary determines are capable of dealing in such 
     loans) notes or other evidence of loans received through 
     assignment under the first sentence.
       ``(c) Forbearance.--Nothing in this section or in this 
     subpart shall be construed to preclude any forbearance for 
     the benefit of 
     the borrower which may be agreed upon by the parties to the 
     insured loan and approved by the Secretary or to preclude 
     forbearance by the Secretary in the enforcement of the 
     insured obligation after payment on that insurance.
       ``(d) Reasonable Care and Diligence Regarding Loans.--
     Nothing in this section or in this subpart shall be construed 
     to excuse the eligible lender or holder of a federally 
     insured loan from exercising reasonable care and diligence in 
     the making of loans under the provisions of this subpart and 
     from exercising a substantial effort in the collection of 
     loans under the provisions of this subpart. If the Secretary, 
     after reasonable notice and opportunity for hearing to an 
     eligible lender, finds that the lender has failed to exercise 
     such care and diligence, to exercise such substantial 
     efforts, to make the reports and statements required under 
     section 706(a)(3), or to pay the required Federal loan 
     insurance premiums, he shall disqualify that lender from 
     obtaining further Federal insurance on loans granted pursuant 
     to this subpart until he is satisfied that its failure has 
     ceased and finds that there is reasonable assurance that the 
     lender will in the future exercise necessary care and 
     diligence, exercise substantial effort, or comply with such 
     requirements, as the case may be.
       ``(e) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:
       ``(1) The term `insurance beneficiary' means the insured or 
     its authorized assignee in accordance with section 706(c).

     a loan, unpaid balance of the principal amount and interest 
     on such loan, less the amount of any judgment collected 
     pursuant to default proceedings commenced by the eligible 
     lender or holder involved.
       ``(3) The term `default' includes only such defaults as 
     have existed for 120 days.

     Defaulting Borrowers.--The Secretary shall, after notice and 
     opportunity for a hearing, cause to be reduced Federal 
     reimbursements or payments for health services under any 
     Federal law to borrowers who are practicing their professions 
     and have defaulted on their loans insured under this subpart 
     in amounts up to the remaining balance of such loans. 
     Procedures for reduction of payments under the medicare 
     program are provided under section 1892 of the Social 
     Security Act. Notwithstanding such section 1892, any funds 
     recovered under this subsection shall be deposited in the 
     insurance fund established under section 710.
       ``(g) Conditions for Discharge of Debt in Bankruptcy.--A 
     debt which is a loan insured under the authority of this 
     subpart may be released by a discharge in bankruptcy under 
     any chapter of title 11, United States Code, only if such 
     discharge is granted--

     beginning on the first date, as specified in subparagraphs 
     (B) and (C) of section 705(a)(2), when repayment of such loan 
     is required;
       ``(2) upon a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that the 
     nondischarge of such debt would be unconscionable; and

     waived the Secretary's rights to apply subsection (f) to the 
     borrower and the discharged debt.

       ``(1) In general.--With respect to the default by a 
     borrower on any loan covered by Federal loan insurance under 
     this subpart, the Secretary shall, under subsection (a), 
     require an eligible lender or holder to commence and 
     prosecute an action for such default unless--
       ``(A) in the determination of the Secretary--
       ``(i) the eligible lender or holder has made reasonable 
     efforts to serve process on the borrower involved and has 
     been unsuccessful with respect to such efforts, or
       ``(ii) prosecution of such an action would be fruitless 
     because of the financial or other circumstances of the 
     borrower;

     the Secretary determines that the lender or holder has made 
     reasonable efforts to secure a judgment and collect on the 
     judgment entered into pursuant to this subsection.

     court judgment that is obtained by a lender or holder against

     (b), any United States attorney may register such judgment 
     with the Federal courts for enforcement.

     Limitations on Actions for Loan Collection.--Notwithstanding 
     any other provision of Federal or State law, there shall be 
     no limitation on the period within which suit may be filed, a 
     judgment may be enforced, or an offset, garnishment, or other 
     action may be initiated or taken by the Secretary, the 
     Attorney General, or other administrative head of another 
     Federal agency, as the case may be, for the repayment of the

     institution a waiver of requirements of paragraphs (2)

Para. 115.34  international telecommunications union conference

  Mr. FALEOMAVAEGA moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
resolution (H. Res. 566): 

       Whereas the United States last hosted the International 
     Telecommunications Union Plenipotentiary Conference in 1947;
       Whereas in the period since that Conference, the union of 
     computers and telephony has ushered in the drawing of the 
     ``Information Age'';
       Whereas the United States recognizes the importance of the 
     International Telecommunications Union (ITU) in setting 
     global standards, frequency allocation, and regulation of the 
     use of geostationary orbit slots for satellites;
       Whereas France hosted the last Plenipotentiary Conference 
     in 1988, Japan is scheduled to host the 1994 Conference, and 
     these countries are among our strongest international 
     competitors in the provision of telecommunications goods and 
     services;
       Whereas the International Telecommunications Union 
     Plenipotentiary Conference brings together many of the 
     world's most influential government and private sector 
     telecommunications officials and hosting the 1998 Conference 
     would provide United States business, particularly small 
     business, with an opportunity to interact with these 
     officials and showcase American products and talent; and
       Whereas the United States, as the preeminent supplier of 
     telecommunications goods and services, by hosting the 1998 
     International Telecommunications Union Plenipotentiary 
     Conference, would underscore the essential role of the United 
     States in the international telecommunications arena: Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of 
     Representatives that the United States Government should 
     extend an invitation to host the 1998 International 
     Telecommunications Union Plenipotentiary Conference at the 
     earliest appropriate opportunity.

     compensation;
       (B) to the extent consistent with international law, 
     authorizing the use of seized assets of the former Yugoslav

                                     House of Representatives,

                               Washington, DC, September 29, 1992.
     Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
     The Speaker, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: Pursuant to the permission granted in 
     Clause 5 of Rule III of the Rules of the U.S. House of 
     Representatives, I have the honor to transmit a sealed 
     envelope received from the White House at 6:01 p.m. on 
     Monday, September 28, 1992 and said to contain the enrolled 
     bill H.R. 5318, An Act regarding the extension of most-
     favored-nation treatment to the products of the People's 
     Republic of China, and for other purposes; and the 
     President's veto message thereon.
       With great respect, I am
           Sincerely yours,
                                              Donnald K. Anderson,
                             Clerk, U.S. House of Representatives.

Para. 115.44  veto of h.r. 5318

  The Clerk then read the message from the President, as follows:

To the House of Representatives:
  I am returning herewith without my approval H.R. 5318, the ``United 
States-China Act of 1992,'' which places additional conditions on 
renewal of China's most-favored-nation (MFN) trade status.
  I share completely the goals of this legislation: to see greater 
Chinese adherence to international standards of human rights, free and 
fair trade practices, and international nonproliferation norms. However, 
adding broad conditions to China's MFN renewal would not lead to faster 
progress in advancing our goals. To those who advocate this approach, 
let me set the record straight.
  Our policy of comprehensive engagement lets the Chinese know in no 
uncertain terms that ``business as usual'' is not possible until they 
take steps to resolve our differences. Through multiple, focussed 
measures, we are eliciting the results we seek.
  This year China joined global efforts to control the spread of nuclear 
weapons and ballistic missiles by declaring adherence to the Missile 
Technology Control Regime's (MTCR) guidelines and parameters and signing 
the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Chinese behavior remains MTCR-
consistent, and we have begun a dialogue with the Chinese on their 
responsibilities under the NPT. We continue to monitor vigilantly 
China's weapons export practices. We have used the sanction authorities 
available successfully and remain prepared to do so again if necessary.
  We have made progress on the resolution of outstanding trade issues 
with our agreements to protect Intellectual Property Rights and to ban 
prison labor exports. I will not allow, however, market access to remain 
a one-sided benefit in China's favor while our bilateral trade deficit 
grows. If China fails to reduce trade barriers, we are prepared to take 
trade action under the statutory guidelines of section 301 of the Trade 
Act of 1974.
  The limited steps China has taken on human rights are inadequate. But 
our human rights dialogue gives us an avenue to express our views 
directly to China's leaders. Significant improvement in China's human 
rights situation, including freedom for all those imprisoned solely for 
the peaceful expression of their beliefs, remains our objective. It is 
easy to be discouraged by the pace of progress in this area. But it 
would be a serious mistake to let our frustration lead us to gamble 
with policies that would undermine our goals.
  Withdrawing MFN or conditioning it, such that it will be withdrawn at 
a later date, will not promote these goals. H.R. 5318 imposes 
unworkable constraints on our bilateral trade. Among the casualties of 
this bill would be the dynamic, market-oriented regions of southern 
China and Hong Kong, as well as those Chinese who support reform and 
rely on outside contact for support.
  The impact of this bill would extend beyond the state enterprise 
system, harming independent industrial and agricultural entities that 
have sprung up in China since the advent of economic reform and its 
opening to the outside. These family-owned and operated entities are 
interlinked in the manufacturing process with large, state-controlled 
factories and marketing agencies. They would not be shielded from the 
effects of this bill.
  Americans too would be affected. This year our exports to China will 
climb to about $8 billion. China's retaliation for the loss of MFN 
would cost us this growing market and thousands of American jobs. We 
would cede our market share to our foreign competitors who impose no 
restrictions on their trade with China, at a time when China is taking 
market-opening measures that our trade negotiators fought to obtain.
  Our policy seeks to address issues of vital concern to us and looks 
to the future of our relations with a country that is home to almost 
one-quarter of the human race. MFN is a means to bring our influence to 
bear on China. Comprehensive engagement is the process we use to 
transform this influence into positive change. The relationship between 
these two key elements of our China policy is a powerful one, and the 
absence of one element diminishes the potency of the other. We continue 
to advance broad U.S. objectives without imposing economic hardship on 
Americans because both elements of our policy are in place.
  Engagement through our democratic, economic, and educational 
institutions instead of confrontation offers the best hope for reform 
in China. MFN is the foundation we need to engage the Chinese. H.R. 
5318 places conditions on MFN renewal for China that will jeopardize 
this policy and includes a requirement that infringes upon the 
President's exclusive authority to undertake diplomatic negotiations on 
behalf of the United States.
  In order to protect the economic and foreign policy interests of the 
United States, I am returning H.R. 5318 to the House of Representatives 
without my approval.
                                                         George Bush.  
                                   The White House, September 28, 1992.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. ABERCROMBIE, by unanimous consent, 
ordered that the veto message, together with the accompanying bill, be 
printed (H. Doc. 102-398) and spread upon the pages of the Journal of

Para. 115.69  message from the president--state of small business

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. BILBRAY, laid before the House a message 
from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  It is my pleasure to submit my third annual report on the state of 
small business. America's small business owners are individuals with 
countless new ideas, employers and workers who produce a vast array of 
goods and services, taxpayers who pay many of the bills, and economic 
pioneers who help decide the future direction of our economy. In their 
endless variety, small firms help create flexible, diverse, and lively 
marketplace.
  For generations, entrepreneurial business owners have been in the 
forefront of the dynamic economic changes that continually revitalize 
our democracy. In the early days of our Republic, small business 
innovators led the way in developing more productive farming 
technologies. Greater agricultural productivity eventually freed other 
entrepreneurs to develop and commercialize new manufacturing processes. 
These processes and manufactured products set a new standard for 
America--and for the world. But America's small business innovators did 
not stop there. They started another revolution by anticipating and 
responding quickly to the demands that grew out of the new, higher 
standard of living--demands for services and sophisticated new 
information technologies.
  Small businesses have made important contributions to the economy, not 
only by introducing new products and processes and creating jobs, but 
also by making the economy more adaptive

[[Page 2183]]

and flexible--by retaining workers longer recessions and hiring workers 
earlier as expansions begin.
  There is no doubt that 1991 was not an easy year for the American 
economy or for small business. The recession that began in the third 
quarter of 1990 carried over into 1991. Business formation rates were 
down, and business closings were up. The flow of financing slowed as 
banks and businesses grew more cautious about business expansions.
  Yet in this recession, as in other economic downturns, small 
businesses continued to function as a source of jobs, creating many of 
the new jobs in the economy. Rather than lay off workers, many small 
firms tightened their belts in other areas. And they continued to 
innovate, introduce new products, and contribute to their communities.
  Our economy has begun to grow again. Still, small firms face 
difficult challenges in the months and years ahead. The truth is that 
health care costs are too high and the unmet need for health coverage 
is great in small businesses. And of all employers, small businesses 
are least able to afford the expensive mandates that have been 
advocated by some. The proposal I presented to the Congress would not 
resort to mandates, but would build on the strengths of our private 
health care system to make health insurance affordable for America's 
workers and their families.
  Adjustments occurring in our financial institutions have made it 
difficult for many worthy small businesses to find the capital they 
need to start up or expand. Therefore, my Administration is taking 
steps to encourage investment in business ventures in a number of ways. 
I have proposed that the Congress cut the capital gains tax so that 
investors will have an incentive to buy into new ventures. Another 
proposal I have made is to create an investment tax allowance that 
would assist in starting new firms.
  And we can encourage some new investment by adapting programs that 
are already underway. For example, the Small Business Administration is 
working with banks to implement innovative loan programs that are 
channeling funds to smaller firms in some of the most economically 
depressed areas.
  Another obstacle that can stand in the way of small firm growth is 
too much regulation. My Administration this year instituted a 
moratorium on new Federal regulations to give Federal agencies a chance 
to review and revise their rules. And we are looking at ways to improve 
our regulatory process over the long term so that regulations will 
accomplish their original purpose without unduly hindering economic 
growth.
  We also need to encourage innovation--such as that exhibited by 
thousands of small high technology firms--by making the research and 
experimentation tax credit permanent. My Administration is committed to 
exploring the promise of new technologies.
  This report documents the increasing, healthy diversity of our small 
business community, as minority- and women-owned businesses enter the 
marketplace in record numbers. I want to keep encouraging that 
diversity through our Federal procurement programs.
  I also want to see more of the Nation's economically depressed 
communities reap the benefits of business growth. To that end, I have 
asked the Congress to pass my enterprise zone legislation, which will 
provide incentives to businesses that start up in specially designated 
areas, particularly in inner cities.
  Looking to the future, it is clear that we need to improve our 
educational system so that America's workers, particularly in small 
firms, will be in a better position to compete in a more and more 
sophisticated global marketplace. My America 2000 education strategy is 
designed to give parents, teachers, and communities more freedom and 
flexibility in designing education programs to meet their needs--and to 
make America the world's leader in education.
  Many of these proposals for economic recovery and growth are being 
enacted now; others will require action by the Congress. I am committed 
to working with the Members of Congress to develop and enact a broad 
economic plan we can all live with. These combined actions will help 
small business to move ahead to create the economic revolutions that 
will lead us into the 21st century.

       (1) Notice.--Prior to proposing an action referred to in 
     subsection (a), the Secretary shall give notice of the 
     proposed action, and the availability of the action for 
     public comment by:
       (A) promptly mailing notice about the proposed action to 
     any person who has requested it in writing, and to persons 
     who are known to have participated in the decisionmaking 
     process; and,

     involved in the public comment process under subsection (b) 
     through submission of written or oral comments or by 
     otherwise notifying the Forest Service of their interest in 
     the proposed action may file an appeal.

     shall be deemed to be a final agency action for the purpose 
     of chapter 7 of title 5, United States Code.
       (e) Stay.--Unless the Chief of the Forest Service

     a decision of the Forest Service, implementation of the 
     decision shall be stayed during the period beginning on the 
     date of the decision:
       (1) for 45 days, if an appeal is not filed, or,
       (2) for an additional 15 days after the date of the 
     disposition of an appeal under this section, if the agency

Para. 116.8  message from the president--veto of h.r. 5517

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MONTGOMERY, laid before the House a 
message from the President, which was read as follows:

To the House of Representatives:
  I am returning herewith without my approval H.R. 5517, a bill 
providing appropriations for fiscal year 1993 for the District of 
Columbia.
  Although I do not object to the funding provided by the bill, its 
language concerning the use of funds for abortion is unacceptable. I 
have stated my intention to veto any bill that does not contain language 
that prohibits the use of all congressionally appropriated funds to pay 
for abortions except when the life of the mother would be endangered if 
the fetus were carried to term. The limitation I propose is identical to 
the one included in the District of Columbia Appropriations Acts for FY 
1989, FY 1990, FY 1991, and FY 1992.
  H.R. 5517 would place such a limitation on the use of Federal funds to 
pay for abortion. However, the bill would permit congressionally 
appropriated local funds to be used for abortions on demand. As a matter 
of law, the use of local funds in the District of Columbia must be 
approved by the Congress and the President through enactment of an 
appropriations act. Under these circumstances, the failure of H.R. 5517 
to prohibit the use of all funds appropriated by the bill to pay for 
abortions, except in the limited circumstances mentioned above, is 
unacceptable.
  From the outset of my Administration, I have repeatedly stated my deep 
personal concern about the tragedy in America of abortion on demand. As 
a Nation, we must protect the unborn. H.R. 5517 does not provide such 
protection. I am therefore returning H.R. 5517 without my approval.
                                                          George Bush.  
                                    The White House, September 30, 1992.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MONTGOMERY, by unanimous consent, ordered 
that the veto message, together with the accompanying bill, be printed 
(H. Doc. 102-399) and spread upon the pages of the Journal of the House.
  On motion of Mr. DIXON, by unanimous consent, the veto message and 
accompanying bill were referred to the Committee on Appropriations.

Para. 116.9  order of business--consideration of h.r. 6056

  On motion of Mr. DIXON, by unanimous consent,
  Ordered, That, notwithstanding any rule of the House to the contrary, 
it may be in order for the House to consider today the bill (H.R. 6056) 
making appropriations for the government of the District of Columbia and 
for other activities chargeable in whole or in part against the revenues 
of said District for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1993, and for 
other purposes; that debate be limited to one hour, the time to be 
equally divided between Mr. Dixon and Mr. Gallo; and that the previous 
question shall be considered as ordered on the bill to final passage 
without intervening motion, except one motion to recommit.

Para. 116.10  d.c. appropriations

  Mr. DIXON, pursuant to the special order of the House heretofore 
agreed to, called up the bill (H.R. 6056) making appropriations for the 
government of the District of Columbia and for other activities 
chargeable in whole or in part against the revenues of said for the 
fiscal year ending September 30, 1993, and for other purposes.
  When said bill was considered and read twice.
  After debate,
  The previous question having been ordered by said special order.
  The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, was read a 
third time by title.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House pass said bill?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MONTGOMERY, announced that the yeas had 
it.
  Mr. DANNEMEYER objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was 
not present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken by 
electronic device.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) to achieve the National Education Goals each State must 
     develop and implement widely shared, comprehensive strategies 
     to support the revitalization of all public elementary and 
     secondary schools;
       (2) educational improvement will require statewide reform 
     strategies and an unshakable long-term commitment by State 
     policymakers;
       (3) educational improvement will require adequate 
     commitment and investment from the Federal Government;
       (4) educational reform will require that teachers and 
     school leaders play the central role in designing and 
     implementing changes at the school level and they must have 
     access to high-quality training and professional development 
     to maximize that role and increase their effectiveness;
       (5) ultimately, meaningful educational reform will not be 
     achieved without coordinated changes at the local educational 
     agency and school level;
       (6) innovative and successful reform initiatives which are 
     underway in schools throughout the Nation are not being 
     replicated in sufficient number by schools where identical 
     practices would further the National Education Goals;
       (7) teachers, principals, parents and members of the local 
     community can, in collaboration with the local educational 
     agency, design effective education reform strategies to 
     achieve the National Education Goals and be strongly 
     committed to such plans if these individuals have access to 
     the resources to implement such plans;
       (8) schools receiving resources under this Act to implement 
     a reform plan should be required to show improved academic 
     achievement and progress towards the achievement of the 
     National Education Goals;
       (9) the Federal Government can best encourage efforts to 
     achieve the National Education Goals by making resources 
     available to States for the development of coherent and 
     coordinated education reform plans and to assist local 
     educational agencies and neighborhood public schools in 
     implementing education reform efforts; and
       (10) the Federal Government can also encourage reform by 
     establishing an independent, non-partisan mechanism to 
     measure progress toward the achievement of the National 
     Education Goals.
       (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act to provide 
     resources to assist States, local educational agencies, and 
     neighborhood public schools in the design and implementation 
     of education reform strategies to improve student achievement 
     and achieve the National Education Goals.
                   TITLE I--NATIONAL EDUCATION GOALS

     SEC. 101. PURPOSE.

       It is the purpose of this title to establish a plan of 
     action for the initial steps that the Federal Government must 
     take in order to assist teachers, school leaders, parents, 
     State and local governments, and businesses in the joint 
     effort of achieving the National Education Goals as outlined 
     in this title.

     SEC. 102. SCHOOL READINESS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that the Federal 
     Government should expand its commitment to school readiness 
     to ensure that all children are ready and able to begin 
     school.
       (b) Policy.--It is the goal of the United States that, by 
     the year 2000, all children in America will start school 
     ready to learn. As part of the joint effort of Federal, 
     State, and local governments, organizations, institutions and 
     individuals in achieving this goal, the Federal Government 
     will take steps--
       (1) to provide Head Start services to every eligible child 
     who needs such services;
       (2) to provide sufficient funding for the special 
     supplemental food program for women, infants, and children so 
     that all potentially eligible women, infants, and children 
     have access to the services provided by the program;
       (3) to assure that all women have access to affordable, 
     high quality prenatal care and that all infants and children 
     have access to affordable, high quality comprehensive and 
     preventive health care, by providing sufficient funding for 
     programs, including the Maternal and Child Health Services 
     Block Grant, the Community and Migrant Health Center Grant 
     Program, Medicaid, and the Childhood Immunization Grant 
     Program;
       (4) to expand funding for the Even Start and Follow Through 
     Acts to allow programs to reach all parts of the United 
     States and to allow each State to fund a sufficient number of 
     programs throughout the State so that approaches are 
     available for local educational agencies, the State 
     educational agency, and other organizations to adopt and 
     implement;
       (5) to provide sufficient funding to assist States in 
     providing a free appropriate public education to preschool 
     children with disabilities and early intervention services to 
     infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families 
     pursuant to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act; 
     and
       (6) to assure that every child participating in early 
     childhood education is taught by a well-qualified teacher.

     SEC. 103. SCHOOL COMPLETION.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that in order for the 
     Nation to improve its economic competitiveness, each 
     individual in the United States must be educated to his or 
     her greatest potential and must be encouraged to finish 
     secondary school.
       (b) Policy.--It is the goal of the United States that, by 
     the year 2000, the high school graduation rate will increase 
     to at least 90 percent. As part of the joint effort of 
     Federal, State, and local governments, organizations, 
     institutions and individuals in achieving this goal, the 
     Federal Government will take consistent steps--
       (1) to expand funding for secondary school dropout 
     prevention and reentry programs and basic skills programs to 
     allow programs to reach all parts of the United States and to 
     allow each State to fund a sufficient number of programs 
     throughout the State so that approaches are available for 
     local educational agencies, the State educational agency, and 
     other organizations to adopt and implement; and
       (2) to collect uniform, reliable data from the States with 
     respect to school completion rates.

     SEC. 104. STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that American students 
     are falling behind students in other industrialized nations 
     on tests measuring abilities in all academic subject areas.
       (b) Policy.--It is the goal of the United States that, by 
     the year 2000, American students will leave grades 4, 8, and 
     12 having demonstrated competency over challenging subject 
     matter including English, mathematics, science, foreign 
     languages, history, and geography, and every school in 
     America will ensure that all students learn to use their 
     minds well, so they may be prepared for responsible 
     citizenship, further learning, productive employment, and 
     independent living in our modern economy. As part of the 
     joint effort of Federal, State, and local governments, 
     organizations, institutions and individuals in achieving this 
     goal, the Federal Government will take steps--
       (1) to provide appropriate educational assistance for all 
     disadvantaged children in the United States by fully funding 
     chapter 1 of title I of the Elementary and Secondary 
     Education Act of 1965 in order to provide for the 
     participation of all eligible children under such chapter;
       (2) to fulfill the commitment made by the United States in 
     1975 to provide 40 percent of the costs of educating children 
     with disabilities;
       (3) to promote efforts that encourage all students to be 
     involved in activities that promote and demonstrate good 
     citizenship, community service, and personal responsibility; 
     and
       (4) to encourage highly qualified individuals to become 
     teachers and to remain in the teaching profession.

     SEC. 105. MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) most students in the United States are behind students 
     from other industrialized

[[Page 2197]]

     nations on tests measuring achievement in mathematics and 
     science;
       (2) the Federal Government has a significant role in 
     promoting the study of mathematics and science in elementary 
     and secondary schools by providing financial assistance to 
     local educational agencies to improve the general quality of 
     programs for the study of mathematics and science through 
     authorized mathematics and science education programs; and
       (3) the Federal Government has indirectly assisted in the 
     postsecondary study of mathematics and science by providing 
     future scientists, mathematicians, and engineers with 
     financial assistance to attend postsecondary institutions, 
     but more incentives are needed to attract high-achieving 
     students into these areas of study.
       (b) Policy.--It is the goal of the United States that, by 
     the year 2000, United States students will be first in the 
     world in mathematics and science achievement. As part of the 
     joint effort of Federal, State, and local governments, 
     organizations, institutions and individuals in achieving this 
     goal, the Federal Government will take steps--
       (1) to expand funding for the Excellence in Mathematics, 
     Science, and Engineering Act of 1990 to increase the number 
     of individuals, particularly women and minorities, in 
     graduate and undergraduate programs in mathematics, science, 
     and engineering;
       (2) to expand funding for the Dwight D. Eisenhower 
     Mathematics and Science Education Act so that all elementary 
     teachers and all secondary teachers of mathematics and 
     science will have an opportunity for updating and improving 
     their mathematics and science education skills;
       (3) to award scholarships to high-achieving students to 
     pursue the study of mathematics, science, and related 
     subjects at postsecondary institutions; and
       (4) to encourage highly qualified individuals to become and 
     to remain mathematics and science teachers in elementary and 
     secondary schools.

     SEC. 106. FAMILY LITERACY AND LIFELONG LEARNING.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) nearly 30,000,000 adults in the United States are 
     lacking literacy skills which limits their ability to read, 
     write, or speak in English or to compute or solve problems 
     effectively; and
       (2) the Federal Government has a responsibility to assist 
     State and local governments in providing literacy services to 
     those individuals in need of such services so that they may 
     be full participants in society.
       (b) Policy.--It is the goal of the United States that, by 
     the year 2000, every American will be literate and will 
     possess the knowledge and skills necessary to compete in a 
     global economy and exercise the rights and responsibilities 
     of citizenship. As part of the joint effort of Federal, 
     State, and local governments, organizations, institutions and 
     individuals in achieving this goal, the Federal Government 
     will take steps--
       (1) to provide increased funding for the Adult Education 
     Act so that all eligible individuals who seek such services 
     under such Act will receive such services; and
       (2) to expand Federal assistance for literacy programs in 
     order to assist State and local governments, public 
     libraries, organizations and volunteers in providing all 
     individuals lacking literacy skills the opportunity to 
     acquire skills needed to function in society.

     SEC. 107. SAFE, DISCIPLINED, AND DRUG-FREE SCHOOLS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) use of illicit drugs and alcohol continues to be a 
     major problem that threatens the safety of the children of 
     the Nation and impedes their ability to succeed in school and 
     in their lives; and
       (2) more Federal efforts are urgently needed in the areas 
     of drug and alcohol abuse education and prevention.
       (b) Policy.--It is the goal of the United States that, by 
     the year 2000, every school in America will be free of drugs 
     and violence and will offer a disciplined environment 
     conducive to learning. As part of the joint effort of 
     Federal, State, and local governments, organizations, 
     institutions and individuals in achieving this goal, the 
     Federal Government will take steps--
       (1) to ensure that all students receive drug abuse 
     prevention education and counseling services; and
       (2) to provide increased funding for the Drug-Free Schools 
     and Communities Act of 1986.

     SEC. 201. COMPREHENSIVE RESTRUCTURING.

       (a) Amendments.--The Elementary and Secondary Education Act 
     of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.) is amended--
       (1) by redesignating sections 8001 through 8005 as 10001 
     through 10005; and

     Standards and Assessments Act of 1992'.

     ``SEC. 8102. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) the social well-being, economic stability, and 
     national security of the United States depend on a strong 
     educational system that provides all citizens with the skills 
     necessary to become active members of a productive work 
     force;
       ``(2) despite the many reforms of the educational system 
     that have been implemented since the National Council on 
     Excellence in Education declared our Nation `at risk' in 
     1983, the United States remains at risk for educational 
     underachievement;
       ``(3) the educational achievement of United States students 
     as a group falls below students from many other countries, 
     particularly in mathematics and the sciences;
       ``(4) although State and local governments bear the primary 
     responsibility for elementary and secondary education, 
     rapidly increasing international competitiveness requires 
     that the United States increase efforts to make education a 
     national priority;
       ``(5) the Federal Government has played a vital, leading 
     role in funding important educational programs and research 
     activities and should continue to play that role;
       ``(6) accurate and reliable mechanisms must be available to 
     assess and monitor educational progress;
       ``(7) the mechanisms to assess and monitor educational 
     progress, and the national information infrastructure needed 
     to support the mechanisms, do not exist or must be 
     strengthened;
       ``(8) there should be established an independent, 
     bipartisan panel, building on existing efforts to measure 
     progress toward achievement of the National Education Goals;
       ``(9) the Nation should also move forward to set national 
     education standards to help students and schools;
       ``(10) the quality of educational assessments in the United 
     States is in need of reform and our Nation needs to invest in 
     additional research and development related to educational 
     assessments, including the development of authentic 
     assessments and model assessments;
       ``(11) the primary purpose of developing standards is to 
     inform instruction and improve learning;
       ``(12) establishing voluntary national standards is an 
     important, complex, and sensitive task and any coordinating 
     structure for this purpose must be bipartisan, engage 
     government at all levels, and involve the many constituencies 
     that have an established interest in improving education;
       ``(13) much work in the area of developing standards and in 
     improving assessments has already begun and the national 
     effort should benefit from and not attempt to duplicate any 
     good work being done by existing Federal and non-Federal 
     entities;
       ``(14) in accordance with the recommendations of the 
     National Education Standards and Assessments Council, a 
     coordinating structure needs to be put into place to ensure 
     that this work is being done;
       ``(15) this coordinating structure should maintain the 
     Nation's tradition of State and local authority over 
     education and therefore be a part of a cooperative national 
     effort; and
       ``(16) there should be established a national coordinating 
     body to ensure the establishment of national education 
     standards.
       ``(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this subpart are--
       ``(1) to establish the National Education Goals Panel;
       ``(2) to advance the establishment of voluntary national 
     education content standards and to raise the academic 
     performance of students and schools throughout the Nation;

     national school delivery standards and for further research 
     and development on assessment to measure the progress of the 
     Nation in meeting national education goals and standards; and

     ``SEC. 8301. SHORT TITLE.

       ``This part may be cited as the `Neighborhood Schools 
     Improvement Program Act'.

     ``SEC. 8302. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) all students can learn and must realize their 
     potential if the United States is to prosper;
       ``(2) the reforms in education of the last 15 years have 
     achieved good results, but these efforts often have been 
     limited to a few schools or to a single part of the 
     educational system;
       ``(3) additional pilot projects will have the same limited 
     effect as previous reforms and isolated changes in policy 
     will most likely have minimal impact;
       ``(4) strategies must be developed by States and 
     communities to support the revitalization of all local public 
     schools by fundamentally changing the entire system of 
     education through comprehensive, coherent, and

[[Page 2201]]

     coordinated improvement while recognizing the diverse 
     cultural and language backgrounds and learning abilities of 
     students;
       ``(5) parents, teachers and other local educators, and 
     community leaders must be involved in developing system-wide 
     reform strategies that reflect the needs of their individual 
     communities;
       ``(6) principals and teachers at local public schools must 
     be involved in school-wide reform strategies that reflect the 
     needs of their individual schools;
       ``(7) States, local educational agencies and local public 
     schools, working together, must immediately set about 
     developing and implementing such system-wide reform 
     strategies if the Nation is to educate all children to meet 
     their full potential and achieve national goals;
       ``(8) increasing the funding for existing Federal education 
     programs at levels that will enable such programs to fulfill 
     their mission is a critical part of assisting States and 
     local educational agencies in their school improvement 
     efforts; and
       ``(9) additional Federal funds should be targeted to 
     support State and local initiatives and to leverage State and 
     local resources for designing and implementing system-wide 
     reform plans.

     ``SEC. 8303. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.

       ``It is the purpose of this part to--
       ``(1) raise the quality of education and achievement of all

     ``SEC. 8402. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) historically, Federal education programs have 
     addressed the Nation's most pressing educational problems by 
     providing categorical assistance with various requirements 
     relating to the use of funds;
       ``(2) while the approach described in paragraph (1) has 
     proven generally successful, some program requirements may 
     inadvertently impede educational achievement;
       ``(3) schools face increasingly diverse populations of 
     disadvantaged students due to the influx of many immigrant 
     children, the growth in poverty among children, and changes 
     in the family structure;
       ``(4) schools are asked not only to educate such 
     increasingly diverse student populations, but to meet 
     disadvantaged students' needs for social, health, and 
     nutritional services;
       ``(5) in an era when educational change and reform must 
     prevail, it is more important than ever to provide programs 
     that--
       ``(A) result in improved educational outcomes for 
     disadvantaged students;
       ``(B) promote the coordination of education and related 
     services that benefit children and their families;
       ``(C) respond flexibly to the needs of a diverse student 
     population;
       ``(D) stop the proliferation of unnecessary Federal, State, 
     and local regulation; and
       ``(E) place less emphasis on reviewing procedures and more 
     emphasis on achieving program results.
       ``(b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this part to establish 
     a national demonstration program which--
       ``(1) promotes educational reform that leads to improved 
     educational outcomes for disadvantaged students;
       ``(2) holds accountable the schools and other recipients of

  When said conference report was considered.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. KILDEE, the previous question was ordered on the 
conference report to its adoption or rejection.
  Mr. GOODLING moved to recommit the conference report to the committee 
of conference with instructions that the managers on the part of the 
House at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on 
the amendment of the House to S. 2, the Neighborhood Schools Improvement 
Act, insist that the conferees report the following provisions:

       In section 8104 of the Elementary and Secondary Education 
     Act of 1965, as added by Section 201(a)(2), in subsection 
     (a)(1) strike ``and the voluntary national school delivery 
     standards''; in subsection (a)(2) strike ``, voluntary 
     National school delivery standards,''; and in subsection 
     (a)(3) strike ``and the voluntary national school delivery 
     standards''.
       Strike section 8111 of the Elementary and Secondary 
     Education Act of 1965, as added by section 201(a)(2), and 
     insert in lieu thereof:

     ``SEC. 8111. DEVELOPMENT OF VOLUNTARY NATIONAL SCHOOL 
                   DELIVERY STANDARDS.

       ``The Secretary shall make grants to the Governor of a 
     State or consortia of such Governors in order for the State 
     or consortia of States to develop school delivery standards 
     that meet the needs of the State or consortia with respect to 
     providing each student with an opportunity to learn.''
       Strike section 8114(a)(1)(A) of the Elementary and 
     Secondary Education Act of 1965, as added by Section 
     201(a)(2) and renumber accordingly.
       In section 8307 of the Elementary and Secondary Education 
     Act of 1965, as added by Section 201(a)(2), in subsection 
     (c)(1)(G) strike ``and'' the second time it appears; in 
     subsection (c)(1)(H) strike the period and insert: ``; and 
     (I) provide support for local school reform such as Merit 
     Schools.''
       In section 8309 of the Elementary and Secondary Education 
     Act of 1965, as added by Section 201(a)(2), in subsection 
     (c)(6) strike ``and'' and in subsection (c)(7) strike the 
     period and insert: ``; and (8) New American Schools.''
       In Part C of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 
     1965, as added by Section 201(a)(2) the House should recede 
     to the Senate on the number of local educational agencies 
     eligible for participation in the demonstration program and 
     the Senate should recede to the House with respect to the 
     specific program activities allowable for inclusion in the 
     demonstration project. 

Para. 116.28  point of order

  Mr. KILDEE made a point of order against said motion to recommit, and 
said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, under the precedents, `a motion to recommit a 
conference report generally may not include instructions which would be 
inadmissible if offered as an amendment in the House.' I quote 
Deschler's Procedure, chapter 33, section 26.6. Similarly, the 
instructions may not instruct the conferees to do something which is 
beyond their power under the Rules of the House, such as add new matter, 
which would be in violation of clause 3 of rule XXVIII--beyond the 
scope.
  ``The pending motion instructs the conferees to go beyond the scope 
of conference and, therefore, is not in order.
  ``Specifically, the motion to recommit is outside the scope of 
conference on this ground: It writes in a new use of funds which 
appears in neither bill in their sections authorizing use of funds at 
the State level; namely, funding merit schools at the State level. It 
is the amendment called for in section 8307.''.

  Mr. GOODLING was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, I would indicate that everything that was in the 
motion to recommit was discussed and debated. It was part of either the 
House bill or the Senate bill. At all times we were debating back and 
forth whether it would be local, whether it would be State. Therefore, 
I see nothing in the motion to recommit, as revised, that would in any 
way be beyond the scope of the conference.''. 

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. TORRES, addressed the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania [Mr. Goodling], and said:

  ``The Chair would ask the gentleman from Pennsylvania in this case if 
either the House or Senate passed versions, provided for State financed 
plans for merit schools. That would be the question. The Chair is aware 
of a House passed provision on local funding for merit schools.''.
  Mr. GOODLING responded, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, neither one provided it. As I said, the debate was 
back and forth, State and local, State and local. Both were discussed. 
It was part of the discussion during the entire conference, so it must 
have been conferenceable.''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. TORRES, sustained the point of order, 
and said:

  ``The Chair can only go by what was in the House and Senate passed 
bills at this point. The Chair would rule at this time for the reason 
stated by the gentleman from Michigan [Mr. Kildee], the point of order 
with respect to inclusion of State plans for merit schools must be 
sustained.''.

  Mr. GOODLING moved to recommit the conference report to the committee 
of conference with instructions that the managers on the part of the 
House at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on 
the amendment of the House to S. 2, the Neighborhood Schools 
Improvement Act, insist that the conferees report the following 
provisions:

       In section 8104 of the Elementary and Secondary Education 
     Act of 1965, as added by Section 201(a)(2), in subsection 
     (a)(1) strike ``and the voluntary national school delivery 
     standards''; in subsection (a)(2) strike ``, voluntary 
     National school delivery standards,''; and in subsection 
     (a)(3) strike ``and the voluntary national school delivery 
     standards''.
       Strike section 8111 of the Elementary and Secondary 
     Education Act of 1965, as added by section 201(a)(2), and 
     insert in lieu thereof:

     ``SEC. 8111. DEVELOPMENT OF VOLUNTARY NATIONAL SCHOOL 
                   DELIVERY STANDARDS.

       ``The Secretary shall make grants to the Governor of a 
     State or consortia of such Governors in order for the State 
     or consortia of States to develop school delivery standards 
     that meet the needs of the State or consortia with respect to 
     providing each student with an opportunity to learn.''
       Strike section 8114(a)(1)(A) of the Elementary and 
     Secondary Education Act of 1965, as added by Section 
     201(a)(2) and renumber accordingly.
       In section 8309 of the Elementary and Secondary Education 
     Act of 1965, as added by Section 201(a)(2), in subsection 
     (c)(6) strike ``and'' and in subsection (c)(7) strike the 
     period and insert: ``; and (8) New American Schools.''
       In Part C of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 
     1965, as added by Section 201(a)(2) the House should recede 
     to the Senate on the number of local educational agencies 
     eligible for participation in the demonstration program and 
     the Senate should recede to the House with respect to the 
     specific program activities allowable for inclusion in the 
     demonstration project.

  By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered on the motion 
to recommit with instructions.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House recommit said conference report with instructions?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. TORRES, announced that the nays had it.
  Mr. GOODLING objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken by 
electronic device.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. TORRES, announced that the yeas had it.
  So the conference report was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said conference report was 
agreed to was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.
  By unanimous consent, the House insisted on its amendment to the title 
of the bill.
  Ordered, That the Clerk notify the Senate thereof.

Para. 116.30  further message from the senate

  A further message from the Senate by Mr. Hallen, one of its clerks, 
announced that the Senate had passed without amendment a joint 
resolution of the House of the following title:

       H.J. Res. 553. Joint resolution making continuing 
     appropriations for the fiscal year 1993, and for other 
     purposes.

Para. 116.31  message from the president--national emergency with respect 
          to haiti

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. TORRES, laid before the House a message 
from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)) 
provides for the automatic termination of a national emergency unless, 
prior to the anniversary date of its declaration, the President 
publishes in the Federal Register and transmits to the Congress a notice 
stating that the emergency is to continue in effect beyond the 
anniversary date. In accordance with this provision, I have sent the 
enclosed notice, stating that the Haitian emergency is to continue in 
effect beyond October 4, 1992, to the Federal Register for publication.
  The crisis between the United States and Haiti that led to the 
declaration on October 4, 1991, of a national emergency has not been 
resolved. The assault on Haiti's democracy represented by the military's 
forced exile of President Aristide continues to pose an unusual and 
extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and 
economy of the United States. The United States remains committed to a 
multilateral resolution of this crisis through its actions implementing 
the resolutions of the Organization of American States with respect to 
Haiti. For these reasons, I have determined that it is necessary to 
maintain in force the broad authorities necessary to apply economic 
pressure to the de facto regime in Haiti.
                                                          George Bush.  
                                    The White House, September 30, 1992.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and ordered to 
be printed (H. Doc. 102-400).

Para. 116.32  unfinished business--veto of s. 5

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. TORRES, announced the unfinished business 
to be the consideration of the veto of the bill (S. 5) to grant 
employees family and temporary medical leave under certain 
circumstances, and for other purposes.
  The question being on the passage of the bill, the objections of the 
President to the contrary notwithstanding.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. FORD of Michigan, the previous question was ordered 
on the bill to its passage or rejection.
  The question being put,
  Will the House, upon reconsideration, agree to pass the bill, the 
objections of the President to the contrary notwithstanding?

It was decided in the

     857 (2 Stat. 1263) who are not in receipt of compensation 
     payable pursuant to chapter 11 of title 38, United States 
     Code.
       (c) Publication Requirement.--At the same time as the 
     matters specified in section 214(i)(2)(D) of the Social 
     Security Act (42 U.S.C. 415(i)(2)(D)) are required to be 
     published by reason of a determination made under section 
     215(i) of such Act during fiscal year 1992, the Secretary 
     shall publish in the Federal Register the rates and 
     limitations referred to in subsection (a)(2)(A) as increased

                              Public Works and Transportation,

                               Washington, DC, September 24, 1992.

Para. 116.51  message from the president--national emergency with respect 
          to haiti

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mrs. KENNELLY, laid before the House a 
message from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  1. On October 4, 1991, in Executive Order No. 12775, I declared a 
national emergency to deal with the threat to the national security, 
foreign policy, and economy of the United States caused by events that 
had occurred in Haiti to disrupt the legitimate exercise of power by the 
democratically elected government of that country (56 FR 50641). In that 
order, I ordered the immediate blocking of all property and interests in 
property of the Government of Haiti (including the Banque de

[[Page 2216]]

la Republique d'Haiti) then or thereafter located in the United States 
or within the possession or control of a U.S. person, including its 
overseas branches. I also prohibited any direct or indirect payments or 
transfers to the de facto regime in Haiti of funds or other financial or 
investment assets or credits by any U.S. person or any entity organized 
under the laws of Haiti and owned or controlled by a U.S. person.
  Subsequently, on October 28, 1991, I issued Executive Order No. 12779 
adding trade sanctions against Haiti to the sanctions imposed on October 
4, 1991 (56 FR 55975). Under this order, I prohibited exportation from 
the United States of goods, technology, and services, and importation 
into the United States of Haitian-origin goods and services, after 
November 5, 1991, with certain limited exceptions. The order exempts 
trade in publications and other informational materials from the import, 
export, and payments prohibitions, and permits the exportation to Haiti 
of donations to relieve human suffering as well as commercial sales of 
five food commodities: rice, beans, sugar, wheat flour, and cooking oil. 
In order to permit the return to the United States of goods being 
prepared for U.S. customers by Haiti's substantial ``assembly sector,'' 
the order also permitted, through December 5, 1991, the importation into 
the United States of goods assembled or processed in Haiti that 
contained parts or materials previously exported to Haiti from the 
United States. On February 5, 1992, it was announced that this exception 
could be applied for on a case-by-case basis by U.S. persons wishing to 
resume a pre-embargo import/export relationship with the assembly sector 
in Haiti.
  2. The declaration of the national emergency on October 4, 1991, was 
made pursuant to the authority vested in me as President by the 
Constitution and laws of the United States, including the International 
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), the National 
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and section 301 of title 3 of 
the United States Code. I reported the emergency declaration to the 
Congress on October 4, 1991, pursuant to section 204(b) of the 
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1703(b)). The 
additional sanctions set forth in my order of October 28, 1991, were 
imposed pursuant to the authority vested in me by the Constitution and 
laws of the United States, including the statutes cited above, and 
implemented in the United States Resolution MRE/RES. 2/91, adopted by 
the Ad Hoc Meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Organization 
of American States (``OAS'') on October 8, 1991, which called on Member 
States to impose a trade embargo on Haiti and to freeze Government of 
Haiti assets. The present report is submitted pursuant to 50 U.S.C. 
1641(c) and 1703(c), and discusses Administration actions and expenses 
directly related to the national emergency with respect to Haiti 
declared in Executive Order No. 12775, as implemented pursuant to that 
order and Executive Order No. 12779.
  3. On March 31, 1992, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the 
Department of the Treasury (``FAC''), after consultation with the 
Department of State and other Federal agencies, issued the Haitian 
Transactions Regulations (``HTR''), 31 C.F.R. Part 580 (57 FR 10820, 
March 31, 1992), to implement the prohibitions set forth in Executive 
Orders No. 12775 and No. 12779. Since my last report, there have been 
two amendments to the HTR.
  On June 5, 1992, new section 580.211 was added (57 FR 23954, June 5, 
1992) prohibiting vessels calling in Haiti on or after that date from 
entering the United States without authorization by FAC. This amendment 
is explained more fully in section 6 of this report. In addition, 
effective August 27, 1992, new section 580.516 (57 FR 39603, September 
1, 1992) authorizes the exportation to Haiti of certain additional food 
items (corn and corn flour, milk (including powdered milk), and edible 
tallow), as well as the issuance of specific licenses permitting, on a 
case-by-case basis, exports of propane for noncommercial use. Copies of 
these amendments are attached to this report.
  4. The ouster of Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the democratically elected 
President of Haiti, in an illegal coup by elements of the Haitian 
military on September 30, 1991, was immediately repudiated and 
vigorously condemned by the OAS. The convening on September 30, 1991, of 
an emergency meeting of the OAS Permanent Council to address this crisis 
reflected an important first use of a mechanism approved at the 1991 OAS 
General Assembly in Santiago, Chile, requiring the OAS to respond to a 
sudden or irregular interruption of the functioning of a democratic 
government anywhere in the Western Hemisphere. As an OAS Member State, 
the United States has participated actively in OAS diplomatic efforts to 
restore democracy in Haiti and has supported fully the OAS resolutions 
adopted in response to the crisis, including Resolution MRE/RES. 2/91 
and MRE/RES. 3/92.
  5. In the first year of the Haitian sanctions program, FAC has made 
extensive use of its authority to specifically license transactions with 
respect to Haiti in an effort to mitigate the effects of the sanctions 
on the legitimate Government of Haiti and on the livelihood of Haitian 
workers employed by Haiti's export assembly sector having established 
relationships with U.S. firms, and to ensure the availability of 
necessary medicines and medical supplies and the undisrupted flow of 
humanitarian donations to Haiti's poor. For example, specific licenses 
have been issued (1) permitting expenditures from blocked assets for the 
operations of the legitimate Government of Haiti, (2) permitting U.S. 
firms with pre-embargo relationships with product assembly operations in 
Haiti to resume those relationships in order to continue employment for 
their workers or, if they choose to withdraw from Haiti, to return to 
the United States assembly equipment, machinery, and parts and materials 
previously exported to Haiti, (3) permitting U.S. companies operating in 
Haiti to establish, under specified circumstances, interest-bearing 
blocked reserve accounts in commercial or investment banking 
institutions in the United States for deposit of amounts owed the de 
facto regime, (4) permitting the continued material support of U.S. and 
international religious, charitable, public health, and other 
humanitarian organizations and projects operating in Haiti, and (5) 
authorizing commercial sales of agricultural inputs such as fertilizer 
and foodcrop seeds.
  6. The widespread supply of embargoed goods, particularly petroleum 
products, to Haiti by foreign-flag vessels led to the adoption on May 
17, 1992, by the Ad Hoc Meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the 
OAS of Resolution MRE/RES. 3/92 urging, among other things, a port ban 
on vessels engaged in trade with Haiti in violation of the OAS embargo. 
There was broad consensus among OAS member representatives, as well as 
European permanent observer missions, on the importance of preventing 
oil shipments to Haiti. Vessels from some non-OAS Caribbean ports and 
European countries have been involved in trade, particularly oil 
supplies, that undermines the embargo.
  In response to Resolution MRE/RES. 3/92, section 580.211 was added to 
the HTR on June 5, 1992, prohibiting vessels calling in Haiti on or 
after that date from entering the United States without FAC 
authorization. Vessels seeking such authorization must demonstrate that 
all calls in Haiti on or after June 5 were (1) for transactions exempted 
or excepted from the applicable prohibitions of the HTR, (2) 
specifically licensed by FAC, or authorized by an OAS Member State 
pursuant to Resolution MRE/RES. 3/92, or (3) made under a contract of 
voyage that was fully completed prior to the vessel's proposed entry 
into a U.S. port.
  Strict enforcement of the new regulation has benefitted from the close 
coordination between FAC, the U.S. Embassy at Port-au-Prince, the U.S. 
Customs Service, the U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Coast Guard in monitoring 
vessel traffic to and from Haiti.
  7. Since the issuance of Executive Order No. 12779, FAC has worked 
closely with the U.S. Customs Service to ensure both that prohibited 
imports and exports (including those in which the Government of Haiti 
has an interest) are identified and interdicted and that permitted 
imports and exports move to their intended destinations without undue 
delay. Violations and suspected violations of the embargo are being 
investigated, and appropriate enforcement actions have been initiated.

[[Page 2217]]

  Since my last report, penalties totalling more than $30,000 have been 
collected from U.S. banks for violations involving unlicensed transfers 
from blocked Government of Haiti accounts or the failure to block 
payments to the de facto regime. Additional penalties totaling nearly 
$175,000 have been proposed for other violations of the HTR, including 
penalties against the masters of vessels violating the new regulation, 
effective June 5, 1992, applicable to vessels calling in Haiti on or 
after that date.
  8. The expenses incurred by the Federal Government in the 6-month 
period from April 4, 1992, through October 3, 1992, that are directly 
attributable to the authorities conferred by the declaration of a 
national emergency with respect to Haiti are estimated at $2.3 million, 
most of which represent wage and salary costs for Federal personnel. 
Personnel costs were largely centered in the Department of the Treasury 
(particularly in FAC, the U.S. Customs Service, and the Office of the 
General Counsel), the Department of State, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the 
Department of Commerce.
  9. The assault on Haiti's democracy represented by the military's 
forced exile of President Aristide continues to pose an unusual and 
extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and 
economy of the United States. The United States remains committed to a 
multilateral resolution of this crisis through its actions implementing 
the resolutions of the OAS with respect to Haiti. I shall continue to 
exercise the powers at my disposal to apply economic sanctions against

Para. 116.66  message from the president--violent crime control

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HAYES of Illinois, laid before the House 
a message from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  I am pleased to transmit for your immediate consideration and 
enactment the ``Violent Crime Control Act of 1992.'' Also transmitted is 
a section-by-section analysis.
  In a speech I delivered recently at the DeSales Catholic Church in Fox 
Park, Missouri, I outlined my crime agenda for the remainder of this 
Congress and for next year. I discussed several issues of particular 
concern to the families of this country such as carjacking, sexual and 
domestic assault, and gang violence. The enclosed legislative proposal 
addresses these critical problems.
  As you know, I first proposed a comprehensive crime bill to the 
Congress on June 15, 1989. I again submitted a bill to the 102nd 
Congress on March 11, 1991. That bill, which has yet to be enacted, 
includes provisions for restoring and expanding the Federal death 
penalty, ending the abuse of habeas corpus, reforming the exclusionary 
rule, and establishing additional crimes and penalties involving the 
criminal use of firearms. The failure of the Congress to pass these pro-
law enforcement proposals is particularly frustrating in light of the 
broad bipartisan support they enjoy.
  I know that there is currently an effort being made to forge a genuine 
compromise that would include effective death penalty provisions and a 
version of habeas corpus reform that would be acceptable to me. It is my 
hope that the Congress will present me with such a compromise, one that 
is truly meaningful for Federal, State, and local law enforcement. This 
apparent willingness to work realistically on crime legislation provides 
the basis for me to call on this Congress to act quickly in its final 
days to pass the additional crime-fighting measures I am today 
proposing.
  The bill I am transmitting today addresses several of the most 
significant current threats to public safety. It includes:
  1. New tools for fighting sexual violence such as increased 
penalties, new rules of evidence and conduct for trial lawyers, 
expanded restitution for victims, and grants to State and local law 
enforcement.
  2. Anti-carjacking provisions in the form of a new Federal crime, 
expanded use of law enforcement grants to the States, and a study of 
devices to prevent carjacking.
  3. Provisions for combating domestic violence such as a new Federal 
offense covering spouse abuse, violations of protective orders, and 
stalking, and a comprehensive grant program to fight domestic violence 
and enforce child support obligations.
  4. Anti-gang amendments, including a new RICO-type offense for street 
gang activities, a new offense for involving a minor in the commission 
of a violent crime, and broadened adult prosecution of violent 
juveniles.
  5. New laws for child support enforcement that will give the Federal 
Government the ability to punish criminally ``deadbeat dads'' who leave 
a State in order to avoid child support or who are significantly late 
in the payment of child support obligations. The legislation will also 
assist the States in the enforcement of child support orders.
  6. Increased penalties for crimes against the elderly that will 
punish and deter criminals from assaulting or defrauding senior 
citizens.
  7. New crimes and penalties for the criminal use of firearms such as 
a mandatory 10-year sentence for using a semiautomatic firearm in the 
course of a violent or drug trafficking crime, and a mandatory 5-year 
sentence for possession of a gun by a dangerous felon.
  As the 102nd Congress draws to a close, the Congress has an 
opportunity to pass legislation that will have a major impact on many 
of the most serious crime problems facing Americans. The public wants 
decisive action from government to combat the menacing presence of 
violent criminals. Let us address this unfinished agenda now.
                                                         George Bush.  
  The White House, September 30, 1992.

     plant.
       ``(11) The term ``carline'' means a name denoting a group

     plant, factory, or other place at which a new passenger motor 
     vehicle is produced or assembled by a manufacturer and from

       (2) The Secretary shall submit to the Committees on 
     Veterans' Affairs of the Senate and House of Representatives 
     a report on the review and assessment conducted under

     with respect to the Chief Nurse position at Department 
     facilities, the Secretary shall include in the report 
     recommendations for corrective action. The report shall be 
     submitted not later than six months after the date of the

     ``SEC. 221. COMPUTATION OF ANNUITIES.

       ``(a) Annuity of Participant.--
       ``(1) Computation of annuity.--The annuity of a participant 
     is the product of--
       ``(A) the participant's high-3 average pay (as defined in 
     paragraph (4)); and
       ``(B) the number of years, not exceeding 35, of service 
     credit (determined in accordance with sections 251 and 252) 
     multiplied by 2 percent.
       ``(2) Credit for unused sick leave.--The total service of a 
     participant who retires on an immediate annuity (except under 
     section 231) or who dies leaving a survivor or survivors 
     entitled to an annuity shall include (without regard to the 
     35-year limitation prescribed in paragraph (1)) the days of 
     unused sick leave to the credit of the participant. Days of 
     unused sick leave may not be counted in determining average 
     basic pay or eligibility for an annuity under this title. A 
     deposit shall not be required for days of unused sick leave 
     credited under this paragraph.
       ``(3) Crediting of part-time service.--
       ``(A) In general.--In the case of a participant whose 
     service includes service on a part-time basis performed after 
     April 6, 1986, the participant's annuity shall be the sum of 
     the amounts determined under subparagraphs (B) and (C).
       ``(B) Computation of pre-april 7, 1986, annuity.--The 
     portion of an annuity referred to in subparagraph (A) with 
     respect to service before April 7, 1986, shall be the amount 
     computed under paragraph (1) using the participant's length 
     of service before that date (increased by the unused sick 
     leave to the credit of the participant at the time of 
     retirement) and the participant's high-3 average pay.
       ``(C) Computation of post-april 6, 1986, annuity.--The 
     portion of an annuity referred to in subparagraph (A) with 
     respect to service after April 6, 1986, shall be the product 
     of--
       ``(i) the amount computed under paragraph (1), using the 
     participant's length of service after that date and the 
     participant's high-3 average pay, as determined by using the 
     annual rate of basic pay that would be payable for full-time 
     service; and
       ``(ii) the ratio which the participant's actual service 
     after April 6, 1986 (as determined by prorating the 
     participant's total service after that date to reflect the 
     service that was performed on a part-time basis) bears to the 
     total service after that date that would be creditable for 
     the participant if all the service had been performed on a 
     full-time basis.
       ``(D) Treatment of employment on temporary or intermittent 
     basis.--Employment on a temporary or intermittent basis shall 
     not be considered to be service on a part-time basis for 
     purposes of this paragraph.
       ``(4) High-3 average pay defined.--For purposes of this 
     subsection, a participant's high-3 average pay is the amount 
     of the participant's average basic pay for the highest 3 
     consecutive years of the participant's service (or, in the 
     case of an annuity computed under section 232 and based on 
     less than 3 years, over the total service) for which full 
     contributions have been made to the fund.

     period of service upon

       ``(1) Reduction in participant's annuity to provide spouse 
     or former spouse survivor annuity.--
       ``(A) General rule.--Except to the extent provided 
     otherwise under a written election under subparagraph (B) or 
     (C), if at the time of retirement a participant or former 
     participant is married (or has a former spouse who has not 
     remarried before attaining age 55), the participant shall 
     receive a reduced annuity and provide a survivor annuity for 
     the participant's spouse under this subsection or former 
     spouse under section 222(b), or a combination of such 
     annuities, as the case may be.
       ``(B) Joint election for waiver or reduction of spouse 
     survivor annuity.--A married participant or former 
     participant and the participant's spouse may jointly elect in 
     writing at the time of retirement to waive a survivor annuity 
     for that spouse under this section or to reduce such survivor 
     annuity under this section by designating a portion of the 
     annuity of the participant as the base for the survivor 
     annuity. If the marriage is dissolved following an election 
     for such a reduced annuity and the spouse qualifies as a 
     former spouse, the base used in calculating any annuity of 
     the former spouse under section 222(b) may not exceed the 
     portion of the participant's annuity designated under this 
     subparagraph.
       ``(C) Joint election of participant and former spouse.--If 
     a participant or former participant has a former spouse, such 
     participant and the participant's former spouse may jointly 
     elect by spousal agreement under section 264(b) to waive, 
     reduce, or increase a survivor annuity under section 222(b) 
     for that former spouse. Any such election must be made (i) 
     before the end of the 12-month period beginning on the date 
     on which the divorce or annulment involving that former 
     spouse becomes final, or (ii) at the time of retirement of 
     the participant, whichever is later.
       ``(D) Unilateral elections in absence of spouse or former 
     spouse.--The Director may prescribe regulations under which a 
     participant or former participant may make an election under 
     subparagraph (B) or (C) without the participant's spouse or 
     former spouse if the participant establishes to the 
     satisfaction of the Director that the participant does not 
     know, and has taken all reasonable steps to determine, the 
     whereabouts of the spouse or former spouse.
       ``(2) Amount of reduction in participant's annuity.--The 
     annuity of a participant or former participant providing a 
     survivor annuity under this section (or section 222(b)), 
     excluding any portion of the annuity not designated or 
     committed as a base for any survivor annuity, shall be 
     reduced by 2\1/2\ percent of the first $3,600 plus 10 percent 
     of any amount over $3,600. The reduction under this paragraph 
     shall be calculated before any reduction under section 
     222(a)(5).
       ``(3) Amount of surviving spouse annuity.--
       ``(A) In general.--If a retired participant receiving a 
     reduced annuity under this subsection dies and is survived by 
     a spouse, a survivor annuity shall be paid to the surviving 
     spouse. The amount of the annuity shall be equal to 55 
     percent of (i) the full amount of the participant's annuity 
     computed under subsection (a), or (ii) any lesser amount 
     elected as the base for the survivor annuity under paragraph 
     (1)(B).
       ``(B) Limitation.--Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), the 
     amount of the annuity calculated under subparagraph (A) for a 
     surviving spouse in any case in which there is also a 
     surviving former spouse of the retired participant who 
     qualifies for an annuity under section 222(b) may not exceed 
     55 percent of the portion (if any) of the base for survivor 
     annuities which remains available under section 222(b)(4)(B).
       ``(C) Effective date and termination of annuity.--An 
     annuity payable from the fund to a surviving spouse under 
     this paragraph shall commence on the day after the retired 
     participant dies and shall terminate on the last day of the 
     month before the surviving spouse's death or remarriage 
     before attaining age 55. If such survivor annuity is 
     terminated because of remarriage, it shall be restored at the 
     same rate commencing on the date such remarriage is dissolved 
     by death, annulment, or divorce if any lump sum paid upon 
     termination of the annuity is returned to the fund.

       ``(ii) elects at that time (in accordance with subsection 
     (b)) to waive a survivor annuity for the spouse,

     retirement of the participant, elect to have a reduction 
     under subsection (b) made in the annuity of the participant 
     (or in such portion thereof as the participant may designate) 
     in order to provide a survivor annuity for the participant's 
     spouse.

     which the annuity of the participant or former participant 
     commences and the date of the election) between the amount 
     paid to such participant or former participant under this 
     title and the amount which would have been paid if such 
     election had been made at the time the participant or former 
     participant applied for the annuity; and

     determined under clause (i), computed using the interest rate 
     specified or determined under section 8334(e) of title 5, 
     United States Code, for the calendar year in which the amount 
     to be deposited is determined.

     election.--Rights and obligations resulting from the election

     title bears to the total number of days of such creditable 
     service.

     service of same participant.--Once a survivor annuity has 
     been provided under this subsection for any former spouse, a 
     survivor annuity for another individual may thereafter be 
     provided under this subsection (or section 221(b)(3)) with 
     respect to the participant only for that portion (if any) of 
     the maximum available which is not committed for survivor 
     benefits for any former spouse whose prospective right to 
     such annuity has not terminated by reason of death or 
     remarriage.

                   EXAMINATION--RECOVERY.

       ``(a) Disability Retirement.--
       ``(1) Eligibility.--A participant who has become disabled 
     shall, upon the participant's own application or upon order 
     of the Director, be retired on an annuity computed under 
     subsection (b).
       ``(2) Standard for disability determination.--A participant 
     shall be considered to be disabled only if the participant--
       ``(A) is found by the Director to be unable, because of 
     disease or injury, to render useful and efficient service in 
     the participant's position; and
       ``(B) is not qualified for reassignment, under procedures 
     prescribed by the Director, to a vacant position in the 
     Agency at the same grade or level and in which the 
     participant would be able to render useful and efficient 
     service.
       ``(3) Time limit for application.--
       ``(A) One year requirement.--A claim may be allowed under 
     this section only if the application is submitted before the 
     participant is separated from the Agency or within one year 
     thereafter.
       ``(B) Waiver for mentally incompetent participant.--The 
     time limitation may be waived by the Director for a 
     participant who, at the date of separation from the Agency or 
     within one year thereafter, is mentally incompetent, if the 
     application is filed with the Agency within one year from the 
     date of restoration of the participant to competency or the 
     appointment of a fiduciary, whichever is earlier.
       ``(b) Computation of Disability Annuity.--
       ``(1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), an 
     annuity payable under subsection (a) shall be computed under 
     section 221(a). However, if the disabled or incapacitated 
     participant has less than 20 years of service credit toward 
     retirement under the system at the time of retirement, the 
     annuity shall be computed on the assumption that the 
     participant has had 20 years of service, but the additional 
     service credit that may accrue to a participant under this 
     paragraph may not exceed the difference between the 
     participant's age at the time of retirement and age 60.
       ``(2) Coordination with military retired pay and veterans' 
     compensation and pension.--If a participant retiring under 
     this section is receiving retired pay or retainer pay for 
     military service (except that specified in section 252(e)(3)) 
     or Department of Veterans Affairs compensation or pension in 
     lieu of such retired or retainer pay, the annuity of that 
     participant shall be computed under section 221(a), excluding 
     credit for such military service from that computation. If 
     the amount of the annuity so computed, plus the retired or 
     retainer pay which is received, or which would be received 
     but for the application of the limitation in section 5532 of 
     title 5, United States Code, or the Department of Veterans 
     Affairs compensation or pension in lieu of such retired or 
     retainer pay, is less than the annuity that would be payable 
     under this section in the absence of the previous sentence, 
     an amount equal to the difference shall be added to the 
     annuity payable under section 221(a).
       ``(c) Medical Examinations.--
       ``(1) Medical examination required for determination of 
     disability.--In each case, the participant shall be given a 
     medical examination by one or more duly qualified physicians 
     or surgeons designated by the Director to conduct 
     examinations, and disability shall be determined by the 
     Director on the basis of the advice of such physicians or 
     surgeons.
       ``(2) Annual reexaminations until age 60.--Unless the 
     disability is permanent, like examinations shall be made 
     annually until the annuitant becomes age 60. If the Director 
     determines on the basis of the advice of one or more duly 
     qualified physicians or surgeons conducting such examinations 
     that an annuitant has recovered to the extent that the 
     annuitant can return to duty, the annuitant may apply for 
     reinstatement or reappointment in the Agency within one year 
     from the date the annuitant's recovery is determined. 
       ``(3) Reinstatement.--Upon application, the Director may 
     reinstate any such recovered disability annuitant in the 
     grade held at time of retirement, or the Director may, taking 
     into consideration the age, qualifications, and experience of 
     such annuitant, and the present grade of the annuitant's 
     contemporaries in the Agency, appoint the annuitant to a 
     grade higher than the one held before retirement.
       ``(4) Termination of disability annuity.--Payment of the 
     annuity shall continue until a date one year after the date 
     of examination showing recovery or until the date of 
     reinstatement or reappointment in the Agency, whichever is 
     earlier.
       ``(5) Payment of fees.--Fees for examinations under this 
     subsection, together with reasonable traveling and other 
     expenses incurred in order to submit to examination, may be 
     paid out of the fund.
       ``(6) Suspension of annuity pending required examination.--
     If the annuitant fails to submit to examination as required 
     under this section, payment of the annuity shall be suspended 
     until continuance of the disability is satisfactorily 
     established.
       ``(7) Termination of annuity upon restoration of earning 
     capacity.--If the annuitant receiving a disability retirement 
     annuity is restored to earning capacity before becoming age 
     60, payment of the annuity terminates on reemployment by the 
     Government or 180 days after the end of the calendar year in 
     which earning capacity is restored, whichever is earlier. 
     Earning capacity shall be considered to be restored if in any 
     calendar year the income of the annuitant from wages or self-
     employment, or both, equals at least 80 percent of the 
     current rate of pay for the grade and step the annuitant held 
     at the time of retirement.
       ``(d) Treatment of Recovered Disability Annuitant Who Is 
     Not Reinstated.--
       ``(1) Separation.--If a recovered or restored disability 
     annuitant whose annuity is discontinued is for any reason not 
     reinstated or reappointed in the Agency, the annuitant shall 
     be considered, except for service credit, to have been 
     separated within the meaning of section 234 as of the date of 
     termination of the disability annuity.
       ``(2) Retirement.--After such termination, the recovered or 
     restored annuitant shall be entitled to the benefits of 
     section 234 or 241(b), except that the annuitant may elect 
     voluntary retirement under section 233, if qualified 
     thereunder, or may be placed by the Director in an 
     involuntary retirement status under section 235(a), if 
     qualified thereunder. Retirement rights under this paragraph 
     shall be based on the provisions of this title in effect as 
     of the date on which the disability annuity is discontinued.
       ``(3) Further disability before age 62.--If, based on a 
     current medical examination, the Director determines that a 
     recovered annuitant has, before reaching age 62, again become 
     totally disabled due to recurrence of the disability for 
     which the annuitant was originally retired, the annuitant's 
     terminated disability annuity (same type and rate) shall be 
     reinstated from the date of such medical examination. If a 
     restored-to-earning-capacity annuitant has not medically 
     recovered from the disability for which retired and 
     establishes to the Director's satisfaction that the 
     annuitant's income from wages and self-employment in any 
     calendar year before reaching age 62 was less than 80 percent 
     of the rate of pay for the grade and step the annuitant held 
     at the time of retirement, the annuitant's terminated 
     disability annuity (same type and rate) shall be reinstated 
     from the first of the next following year. If the annuitant 
     has been allowed an involuntary or voluntary retirement 
     annuity in the meantime, the annuitant's reinstated 
     disability annuity shall be substituted for it unless the 
     annuitant elects to retain the former benefit.
       ``(e) Coordination of Benefits.--
       ``(1) Workers' compensation.--A participant is not entitled 
     to receive for the same period of time--
       ``(A) an annuity under this title, and
       ``(B) compensation for injury to, or disability of, such 
     participant under subchapter I of chapter 81 of title 5, 
     United States Code, other than compensation payable under

     receive an annuity under this title and a concurrent benefit 
     under subchapter I of chapter 81 of title 5, United States 
     Code, on account of the death of the same person. 
       ``(3) Greater benefit.--Paragraphs (1) and (2) do not bar 
     the right of a claimant to the greater benefit conferred by 
     either this title or subchapter I of chapter 81 of title 5,

     Compensation Payment.--

     refunded to the Department for credit to the Employees' 
     Compensation Fund. Before the individual may receive the 
     annuity, the individual shall--
       ``(A) refund to the Secretary of Labor the amount 
     representing the commuted compensation payments for the 
     extended period; or
       ``(B) authorize the deduction of the amount from the 
     annuity.
       ``(2) Source of deduction.--Deductions from the annuity may 
     be made from accrued or accruing payments. The amounts 
     deducted and withheld from the annuity shall be transmitted 
     to the Secretary for reimbursement to the Employees' 
     Compensation Fund.
       ``(3) Prorating deduction.--If the Secretary finds that the 
     financial circumstances of an individual entitled to an 
     annuity under this title warrant deferred refunding, 
     deductions from the annuity may be prorated against and paid 
     from accruing payments in such manner as the Secretary 
     determines appropriate.

     of days of the marriage of the former spouse to the 
     participant during periods of creditable service of such 
     participant bears to the total number of days of such 
     creditable service.
       ``(3) Share for former wife or husband.--Payment of the 
     former participant's lump-sum credit shall be subject to the

     monthly annuity of any annuitant who voluntarily requests, in 
     writing, such withholding. The amounts withheld during any 
     calendar quarter shall be held in the Fund and disbursed to

     the consent of the United States to the application of a 
     statute which imposes more burdensome requirements of the 
     United States than on employers generally, or which subjects

Para. 118.9  message from the president--railroad retirement board

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, laid before the House a message 
from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  I hereby submit to the Congress the Annual Report of the Railroad 
Retirement Board for Fiscal Year 1991, pursuant to the provisions of 
section 7(b)(6) of the Railroad Retirement Act and section 12(1) of the 
Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act.
  The Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) serves over 873,000 railroad 
retirees and their families and almost 283,000 railroad employees who 
rely on the system for retirement, unemployment, disability, and 
sickness insurance benefits. Beneficiaries depend on the financial 
integrity of the pension funds for payment of their benefits.
  This report includes the Annual Actuarial Report, which concludes that 
the railroad retirement system will not experience a cash flow problem 
in the near future. The Chief Actuary at RRB, however, warns that ``the 
long term viability of the system * * * is still questionable.'' Based 
on the report's analysis, if employment trends continue as they have for 
over a quarter of a century, the trust funds will go broke sometime 
between 2010 and 2016.
  I continue to strongly oppose the permanent diverting of Federal 
income taxes to the rail pension system. Since 1983 approximately $5.4 
billion in taxpayer subsidies have been given to the rail pension fund, 
$1.72 billion of which were from the diversion of income taxes. The 
Railroad Retirement Board believes current resources are sufficient to 
pay benefits, except under the most pessimistic assumptions, thereby 
rendering Federal subsidies unnecessary. Railroad pensions should be 
financed solely by rail sector resources.
  As I stated last year, I support all equitable reforms to the system, 
such as privatization and the extension of rules protecting private 
pensions (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) to the railroad's 
private pension system.
                                                          George Bush.  
  The White House, October 1, 1992. 

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce and the 
Committee on Ways and Means.

Para. 118.10  message from the senate--veto of s. 323

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, laid before the House a message 
from the Senate, which was read as follows:
  The Senate having proceeded to reconsider the bill (S. 323) to require 
the Secretary of Health and Human Services to ensure that pregnant women 
receiving assistance under title X of the Public Health Service Act are 
provided with information and counseling regarding their pregnancies, 
and for other purposes, returned by the Presi- 

[[Page 2278]]

dent of the United States with his objections to the Senate, in which it 
originated, it was,
  Resolved, That the said bill pass, two-thirds of the Senators present 
having voted in the affirmative.
  The Clerk then read the veto message from the President, as follows:

To the Senate of the United States:
  I am returning herewith without my approval S. 323, the ``Family 
Planning Amendments Act of 1992.'' This legislation would extend and 
amend the federal family planning program under title X of the Public 
Health Service Act.
  If the scope of S. 323 were limited to family planning, I would 
approve it. My Administration has an excellent record in support of 
family planning. About this there can be no question. Our approach to 
reauthorizing title X was embodied in a bill transmitted to the Congress 
on February 25, 1991. We need a family planning program to deliver 
preventive, pre-pregnancy services.
  Unfortuantely, S. 323 is unacceptable because it would override 
current regulations that are designed to maintain the title X program's 
integrity as a pre-pregnancy family planning program. The bill would 
require projects supported by title X family planning funds to counsel 
pregnant women on, and refer them for, abortions. Such a requirement is 
totally alien to the purpose of the title X program. Title X is a 
quality health care program that provides pre-pregnancy family planning 
information and services and refers pregnant women to health care 
providers who can ensure continuity of care.
  Under current regulations, upheld by the United States Supreme Court, 
pregnant women who seek services from clinics funded by title X would be 
referred to qualified providers for prenatal care and other social 
services, including counseling. Moreover, nothing in these regulations 
prevents a woman from receiving complete medical information about her 
condition from a physician. The Supreme Court specifically found that 
the regulations regarding the title X program in no way violated free 
speech rights.
  In a memorandum to Department of Health and Human Services Secretary 
Louis Sullivan on November 5, 1991, I reiterated my commitment to 
preserving the confidentiality of the doctor/patient relationship. In 
that memorandum, I also repeated my commitment to ensuring that the 
operation of the title X family planning program is compatible with free 
speech and the highest standards of medical care. My memorandum makes 
clear that there is no ``gag rule'' to interfere with the doctor/patient 
relationship. There can be no doubt that my Administration is committed 
to the protection of free speech.
  I have repeatedly informed the Congress that I would disapprove any 
legislation that would transform this program into a vehicle for the 
promotion of abortion. Unfortunately, the Congress has seen fit to 
entangle this family planning program in the politics of abortion.
  I believe that the title X family planning program should be 
reauthorized. I now urge the Congress to adopt a bill that promotes true 
family planning rather than requiring Federal tax dollars to be used in 
a manner that promotes abortion as a method of birth control.
                                                          George Bush.  
  The White House, September 25, 1992. 

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, by unanimous consent, announced 
that the objections of the President were ordered spread upon the pages 
of the Journal.
  The question being on the passage of the bill, the objections of the 
President to the contrary notwithstanding.
  After debate,
  By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered on the bill to 
its passage or rejection.
  The question being put,
  Will the House, upon reconsideration, agree to pass the bill, the 
objections of the President to the contrary notwithstanding?

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be referred to as the ``Montana National 
     Forest Management Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) Many areas of undeveloped National Forest System lands 
     in the State of Montana possess outstanding natural 
     characteristics which give them high value as wilderness and 
     will, if properly preserved, contribute as an enduring 
     resource of wild land for the benefit of the American people.
       (2) The existing Department of Agriculture Land and 
     Resource Management Plans for Forest System lands in the 
     State of Montana have identified areas which, on the basis of 
     their land form, ecosystem, associated wildlife, and location 
     will help to fulfill the National Forest System's share of a 
     quality National Wilderness Preservation System.
       (3) The existing Department of Agriculture Land and 
     Resource Management Plans for National Forest System lands in 
     the State of Montana and the related congressional review of 
     such lands have also identified areas that do not possess 
     outstanding wilderness attributes or possess outstanding 
     energy, mineral, timber, grazing, dispersed recreation, or 
     other values. Such areas should not be designated as 
     components of the National Wilderness Preservation System but 
     should be available for multiple uses under the land 
     management planning process and other applicable law.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are to--
       (1) designate certain National Forest System lands in the 
     State of Montana as components of the National Wilderness 
     Preservation System, in furtherance of the purposes of the 
     Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.), in order to preserve 
     the wilderness character of the land and to protect 
     watersheds and wildlife habitat, preserve scenic and historic 
     resources, and promote scientific research, primitive 
     recreation, solitude, and physical and mental challenge; and
       (2) ensure that certain other National Forest System lands 
     in the State of Montana will be managed under the national 
     forest land and resource management plans.

     SEC. 3. WILDERNESS DESIGNATIONS.

       (a) Designation.--In furtherance of the purposes of the 
     Wilderness Act of 1964, the following lands in the State of 
     Montana are designated as wilderness and, therefore, as 
     components of the National Wilderness Preservation System:
       (1) Certain lands in the Beaverhead, Bitterroot, and 
     Deerlodge National Forests, which comprise approximately 
     31,660 acres, as generally depicted on a map entitled 
     ``Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness Additions--Proposed'' (North 
     Big Hole, Storm Lake, Upper East Fork), dated September 1992, 
     and which are hereby incorporated in and shall be deemed to 
     be a part of the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness.
       (2) Certain lands in the Beaverhead National Forest, which 
     comprise approximately 25,000 acres, as generally depicted on 
     a map entitled ``Italian Peaks Wilderness--Proposed'', dated 
     September 1992, and which shall be known as the Italian Peaks 
     Unit of the Great Divide Wilderness.
       (3) Certain lands in the Beaverhead National Forest, which 
     comprise approximately 80,500 acres, as generally depicted on 
     a map entitled ``East Pioneer Wilderness--Proposed'', dated 
     September 1992, and which shall be known as the East Pioneer 
     Wilderness.

     SEC. 8. SEVERED MINERALS EXCHANGE.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) underlying certain areas in Montana described in 
     subsection (b) are mineral rights owned by subsidiaries of 
     Burlington Resources, Incorporated (hereinafter collectively 
     referred to in this section as the ``company'');
       (2) there are federally owned minerals underlying privately 
     owned lands lying outside those areas;
       (3) the company has agreed in principle with the Department 
     of Agriculture to an exchange of mineral rights to 
     consolidate Federal surface and subsurface ownerships and to 
     avoid potential conflicts with the surface management of such 
     areas; and
       (4) it is desirable that an exchange be completed within 2 
     years after the date of enactment of this Act.
       (b) Description of Mineral Interests.--(1) Pursuant to an 
     exchange agreement between the Secretary and the company, the 
     Secretary may acquire mineral interests owned by the company 
     underlying surface lands owned by the United States located

     exchanged pursuant to this section shall be approximately 
     equal based on available information.
       (2) To ensure that the wilderness or other natural values 
     of the areas are not affected, a formal appraisal based upon 
     drilling or other surface disturbing activities shall not be 
     required for any mineral interest proposed for exchange, but 
     the Secretary and the company shall fully share all available 
     information on the quality and quantity of mineral interests 
     proposed for exchange.
       (3) In the absence of adequate information regarding values 
     of minerals proposed for exchange, the Secretary and the 
     company may agree to an exchange on the basis of mineral 
     interests of similar development potential, geologic 
     character, and similar factors.

     Federal employee office building of 6 or more stories that is 
     owned by the Federal Government unless after that renovation

     date of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission Act of 1974, 
     and subsequently when it determines that changes are 
     required,'' and inserting ``If, in addition to the 
     regulations issued pursuant to subsection (a), the Commission 
     has reason to believe that dual trading-related or 
     facilitated abuses are not being or cannot be effectively 
     addressed by subsection (a), the Commission shall''; and
       (3) by inserting a new subsection (a) to read as follows:
       ``(a)(1) The Commission shall issue regulations to prohibit 
     the privilege of dual trading on each contract market which 
     has not been exempted from such regulations under paragraph 
     (3). The regulations issued by the Commission under this 
     paragraph--
       ``(A) shall provide that the prohibition of dual trading 
     thereunder shall take effect not less than 30 days after the 
     issuance of the regulations;

     determines necessary and appropriate, to ensure fairness and 
     orderly trading in affected contract markets, including--

     not less than once annually a named floor broker to execute 
     orders for such customer, notwithstanding the regulations to 
     prohibit the privilege of dual trading required under this 
     paragraph, and

     unique or special characteristics of individual boards of 
     trade or contract markets, to address emergency or unusual 
     market conditions, or otherwise to further the public 
     interest;
       ``(C) shall establish procedures for the application for an 
     issuance of exemptions under paragraph (3) which, among other 
     things, shall specify the relevant data required to be 
     submitted by the board of trade with each application;

     determine the average daily trading volume on a contract 
     market for purposes of paragraph (4) based on a moving daily 
     average of either 6 or 12 months; and
       ``(E) shall establish an expeditious procedure to revoke an 
     exemption granted under paragraph (3) providing sufficient 
     notice, opportunity for hearing, and findings to assure 
     fundamental fairness.

     means the execution of customer orders by a floor broker 
     during any trading session in which the floor broker executes 
     any trade in the same contract market for--

     discretion; or

     unconditionally or on stated conditions (including stated 
     periods of time) relevant to the attainment or maintenance of 
     compliance with the standards in subparagraphs (A) and (B),

     market satisfies the requirements of section 5a(b) with 
     regard to violations attributable to dual trading at such 
     contract market; or
       ``(B)(i) there is a substantial likelihood that a dual 
     trading suspension would harm the public interest in hedging 
     or price basing at such contract market, and

     section 8e, are sufficient and appropriate to bring the 
     contract market into compliance with the standard in 
     subparagraph (A).

     paragraph (1) shall not apply to any contract market in which

     volume is less than the threshold trading level established 
     for the contract market under this paragraph.

     8,000 contracts.

     hedging or price basing at the affected contract market.

     market with adequate notice of any such increase or decrease.

     the reason or reasons that the application was not approved

     trade monitoring system in place at the contract market does 
     not satisfy the requirements of paragraph (3)(A) and the 
     basis for such reason;

     described in section 8e, that the Commission believes the 
     affected contract market must take to satisfy the 
     requirements of paragraph (3)(A), and an acceptable timetable 
     for such corrective action; and

     proposes to attach to the exemption under paragraph (3);

     the request of the board of trade, through an oral 
     presentation of views and comments to the Commission, in 
     order to make the demonstration required under paragraph (3) 
     or otherwise to petition the Commission with respect to its 
     application; and

     applies; and
       ``(ii) any conditions or limitations which the Commission 
     proposes to attach under paragraph (3) are appropriate in 
     light of the purposes of this subsection.

     of any exemptive petitions filed under paragraph (3) and any 
     proposed or final actions the Commission may take on such 
     petitions.

     action is appropriate in the public interest, any Commission 
     order denying an application or exempting a contract market 
     conditionally shall not take effect for at least 20 days 
     following the issuance of the order.

     assessment or on other information, the Commission at any 
     time has reason to believe that a contract market's trade 
     monitoring system implemented pursuant to section 5a(b) does 
     not satisfy one or more of the requirements of such section.
       ``(2) Contents.--A proposed deficiency order issued under 
     this subsection shall specify--
       ``(A) the deficiencies the Commission has reason to believe

     regulations prohibiting the privilege of dual trading under 
     section 4j(a), if the deficiency noted in such deficiency 
     order relates to--

     required to maintain under paragraphs (2), (3), or (4) of 
     section 5a(b); or

     membe thereof,

     the Commission may issue a deficiency order under this 
     section to remove such officer, director, committee member, 
     or employee.

     section 6, during the period that a proposed or final 
     deficiency order under this section is in effect, the 
     Commission may refrain from approving any application for 
     designation as a contract market made by the board of trade

     issued under subsection (c) shall be considered a violation 
     of an order of the Commission for purposes of--

     the terms and conditions under which, in an emergency as 
     defined by the Commission, a contract market may, by a two-
     thirds vote of its governing board, make a rule (hereinafter 
     referred to as an `emergency rule') effective on a temporary 
     basis without prior Commission approval, or without 
     compliance with the 10-day notice requirement under 
     subparagraph (A), or during any period of review by the 
     Commission, if the contract market makes every effort 
     practicable to notify the Commission of such emergency rule, 
     along with a complete explanation of the emergency involved, 
     prior to making the emergency rule effective. If the contract 
     market does not provide the Commission with such notification 
     and explanation before making the emergency rule effective, 
     the contract market shall provide the Commission with such 
     notification and explanation at the earliest possible date. 
     The Commission may delegate the power to receive such 
     notification and explanation to such individuals as the 
     Commission determines necessary and appropriate.
       (ii) Within 10 days of the receipt from a contract market 
     of notification of such an emergency rule and an explanation 
     of the emergency involved, or as soon as practicable, the 
     Commission shall determine whether it is appropriate either--
       ``(I) to permit such rule to remain in effect during the 
     pendency of the emergency, or
       ``(II) to suspend the effect of such rule pending review 
     either under the procedures of subparagraph (A) or otherwise.

     The Commission shall submit a report on its determination and 
     the basis thereof with respect to such emergency rule to the 
     affected contract market, to the Committee on Agriculture of 
     the House of Representatives and the Committee Agriculture, 
     Nutrition, and Forestry of the Senate. If the report is 
     submitted more than 20 days after the Commission's receipt of 
     notification of such an emergency rule from a contract 
     market, the report shall explain why submission within such 
     10-day period was not practicable. A determination by the 
     Commission to suspend the effect of a rule under this 
     subparagraph shall be subject to judicial review on the same 
     basis as an emergency determination under section 8a(9). 
     Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit the 
     authority of the Commission under section 8a(9);''.
       (b) Regulations.--The Commodity Futures Trading Commission 
     shall issue regulations to implement section 5a(12)(B) of the

     the date of enactment of this Act, shall remain in effect.

     by adding at the end the following:
       ``(17)(A) provide for the avoidance of conflict of interest 
     in deliberations by the governing board and any disciplinary 
     and oversight committees. In order to comply with this 
     subparagraph, each contract market shall adopt rules and 
     procedures to require, at a minimum, that
       ``(i) any member of a governing board or a disciplinary or 
     other oversight committee must abstain from confidential 
     deliberations and voting on any matter where the named party 
     in interest is the member, the member's employer, the 
     member's employee, or any other person that has a business, 
     employment, or family relationship with the member that 
     warrants abstention by the member;
       ``(ii) any member of a governing board or a disciplinary or 
     other oversight committee must abstain from voting on any 
     significant action that would not be submitted to the 
     Commission for its prior approval, if as determined in 
     accordance with regulations promulgated by the Commission, 
     the member knowingly has a direct and substantial financial 
     interest in the result of the vote, based either on positions 
     held personally or at an affiliated firm;
     ``(iii) prior to the deliberations of the governing board, 
     disciplinary board, or other oversight committee, acting 
     directly or indirectly through an authorized member or 
     contract market official, the positions of the members of 
     such board or committee, and positions of the firm or firms 
     with which such members are affiliated, are reviewed 
     (provided, however, that no contract market or official, 
     employee, member, other than the member whose position or 
     positions are being reviewed, or agent thereof shall be 
     subject to liability, except for liability in an action 
     initiated by the Commission, for having conducted this review 
     and for having taken or not taken further action); and
     ``(iv) the board or committee shall clearly reflect, in the 
     minutes of such meeting, that the review required in clause 
     (iii) occurred and any decisions by a member to abstain or by 
     the board or committee whether to direct a member or members 
     to abstain from deliberations or voting on the matter before 
     the board or committee.

     Any member prohibited from voting on a rule pursuant to this 
     paragraph shall not be included in determining whether there 
     has been a two-thirds vote of members of the governing board 
     or committee as required by subparagraph (12).
       ``(B) For the purposes of this paragraph, the term 
     `significant action that would not be submitted to the 
     Commission for its prior approval' includes--
     ``(i) any nonphyscial emergency rule; or
     ``(ii) any changes in margin levels designed to respond to 
     extraordinary market conditions that are likely to have a 
     substantial affect on prices in any contract traded on such 
     contract market,

     but does not include any rule not submitted for prior 
     Commission approval because such rule is unrelated to terms 
     and conditions of any contract traded on such market.
     ``(C) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (A)(ii), 
     the Commission shall issue rules establishing the conditions 
     under which a member of a board or committee who is required 
     to abstain from voting on a significant action, as provided 
     in subparagraph (A)(ii), may participate in deliberations on 
     that action prior to such vote, where the member's 
     participation is consistent with the public interest.''.

     Commodity Exchange Act made by the Futures Trading Practices 
     Act of 1992, through the imposition of an assessment on 
     commodity futures and options transactions executed pursuant 
     to the Commodity Exchange Act; and
       (2) a program of assessment-based funding for some or all 
     of such enforcement and market surveillance activities would 
     better provide resources to the Commodity Futures Trading 
     Commission to enable the Commission to--
       (A) protect the interests of market users (including 
     hedgers and speculators), producers of commodities traded on 
     the futures markets, and the general public; and
       (B) maintain and enhance the credibility of such futures 
     and options markets.
       (b) Report.--Not later than 1 year after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General shall submit 
     to the Committee on Agriculture of the House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, 
     and Forestry of the Senate a report containing the 
     Comptroller General's determinations pursuant to subsection

     enactment of this Act, the Commodity Futures Trading

     futures authorities, as defined in section 2(a)(1)(A) of the 
     Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 2(a)(1)(A)), have 
     jurisdiction, and submit to the Committee on Agriculture of 
     the House of Representatives and the Committee on 
     Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry of the Senate a report 
     of its findings with respect to--
       (1) the overall competitive status of United States boards 
     of trade in the world market;
       (2) a comparison of applicable statutes, rules, or 
     regulations as they relate to futures and options 
     administered and enforced by the Commission and those 
     administered and enforced by foreign futures authorities;
       (3) any trends in, or movements of, volume of futures and 
     options trading to or from United States boards of trade 
     during the period of the study, and whether such trends or 
     movements, if any, were the result of the adoption of 
     statutes, regulations, or other enforcement mechanisms in 
     foreign countries or the United States, as opposed to other 
     competitive, economic, regional, or commercial factors;
       (4) any significant harms or risks to the public interest, 
     market users, traders, and commerce in relation to futures or 
     options traded on such foreign boards of trade which may 
     result from the absence of statutes, regulations, or other 
     enforcement mechanisms in foreign countries or the United 
     States or disparities in regulatory protections offered by 
     United States and foreign authorities; and
       (5) any recommendations the Commission may have as a result 
     of the study to enhance the competitive status of United 
     States boards of trade in the world market, or to enhance the 
     regulation of markets in the global environment, that will 
     not impair customer confidence in United States boards of 
     trade.
       (b) Cooperation.--To promote the efficient use of 
     resources, the Commission shall endeavor, as it determines 
     appropriate, to obtain the assistance of the General 
     Accounting Office, the Office of the United States Trade 
     Representative, or other appropriate offices of the Federal 
     Government in order to obtain information with regard to 
     trading at foreign boards of trade and the regulation of such 
     boards of trade by foreign futures authorities.

       (2) whether the experience with such systems of trading 
     indicates that they may be useful or effective to enhance 
     access to the futures and options markets by potential market 
     participants, improve the ability of the Commission to audit 
     the activities of the futures and options markets, reduce the 
     opportunity for trading abuses, and otherwise be in the 
     public interest or raise other related issues.
       (c) Report.--Not later than 2 years after the date of

     any person has violated, is violating, or is about to violate

     SEC. 501. MARGIN ON STOCK INDEX FUTURES.

       Section 2(a)(1)(B) (7 U.S.C. 2a) is amended by adding at 
     the end the following new clause:
       ``(vi)(I) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, 
     any contract market in a stock index futures contract (or 
     option thereon) shall file with the Board of Governors of the 
     Federal Reserve System any rule establishing or changing the 
     levels of margin (initial and maintenance) for the Stock 
     index futures contract (or option thereon).
       ``(II) The Board may at any time request any contract 
     market to set the margin for any stock index futures contract 
     (or option thereon) at such levels as the Board in its 
     judgment determines are appropriate to preserve the financial 
     integrity of the contract market or its clearing system or to 
     prevent systemic risk. If the contract market fails to do so 
     within the time specified by the Board in its request, the 
     Board may direct the contract market to alter or supplement 
     the rules of the contract market as specified in the request.
       ``(III) Subject to such conditions as the Board may 
     determine, the Board may delegate any or all of its authority 
     under this clause only to the Commission.
       ``(IV) Nothing in this clause shall supersede or limit the 
     authority granted to the Commission in section 8a(9) to 
     direct a contract market, on finding an emergency to exist, 
     to raise temporary emergency margin levels on any futures 
     contract or option on the contract covered by this clause.
       ``(V) Any action taken by the Board, or by the Commission 
     acting under the delegation of authority under subclause III, 
     under this clause directing a contract market to alter or 
     supplement a contract market rule shall be subject to review 
     only in the Court of Appeals where the party seeking review 
     resides or has its principal place of business, or in the 
     United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia 
     Circuit. The review shall be based on the examination of all 
     information before the Board or the Commission, as the case 
     may be, at the time the determination was made. The court 
     reviewing the action of the Board or the Commission shall not 
     enter a stay or order of mandamus unless the court has 
     determined, after notice and a hearing before a panel of the 
     court, that the agency action complained of was arbitrary, 
     capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in 
     accordance with law.''

     or transaction (or class thereof) that is otherwise subject 
     to subsection (a) (including any person or class of persons 
     offering, entering into, rendering advice or rendering other

     prospectively, or both, from any of the requirements of 
     subsection (a), or from any other provision of this Act 
     (except section 2(a)(1)(B)), if the Commission determines 
     that the exemption would be consistent with the public 
     interest.''
       ``(2) The Commission shall not grant any exemption under 
     paragraph (1) from any of the requirements of subsection (a)

     is sought and that the exemption would be consistent with the 
     public interest and the purposes of this Act; and

     be appropriate in light of their financial or other 
     qualifications, or the applicability of appropriate 
     regulatory protections.
       ``(4) During the pendency of an application for an order 
     granting an exemption under paragraph (1), the Commission may 
     limit the public availability of any information received 
     from the applicant if the applicant submits a written request 
     to limit disclosure contemporaneous with the application, and 
     the Commission determines that--
       ``(A) the information sought to be restricted constitutes a 
     trade secret; or
       ``(B) public disclosure of the information would result in 
     material competitive harm to the applicant.

     defined in section 101 of title 11, United States Code) that 
     are not part of a fungible class of agreements that are 
     standardized as to their material economic terms, to the 
     extent that such agreements may be regarded as subject to the 
     provisions of this Act.

     Any exemption pursuant to this paragraph shall be subject to 
     such terms and conditions as the Commission shall determine 
     to be appropriate pursuant to paragraph (1).
       ``(d) The granting of an exemption under this section shall 
     not affect the authority of the Commission under any other 
     provision of this Act to conduct investigations in order to 
     determine compliance with the requirements or conditions of 
     such exemption or to take enforcement action for any 
     violation of any provision of this Act or any rule, 
     regulation or order thereunder caused by the failure to 
     comply with or satisfy such conditions or requirements.''.
       (b) Competitive fairness.--Section 15 (7 U.S.C. 19) is 
     amended by striking ``regulations,'' and inserting

     4c(b)),''.
       (c) Conforming amendment.--Section 12(e)(2)(A) (7 U.S.C.

       Whereas Magen David Adom performs the humanitarian

     Red Cross/Red Crescent Movement;
       Whereas Magen David Adom is still not a full partner in the 
     International Red Cross/Red Crescent Movement;
       Whereas the refusal of the international community to 
     recognize Magen David Adom indicates the intensity of 
     hostility faced by Israel in the world community;
       Whereas the recognition by the international community of 
     the humanitarian role played by Magen David Adom would 
     provide additional impetus to the Middle East peace process;

     approved and begun implementation of a resolution recognizing 
     Magen David Adom as a constituent member of the International 
     Red Cross/Red Crescent Movement;

     International Committee of the Red Cross and in cooperation

     Victims Tracing and Information Center to assist holocaust 
     survivors in learning about the fate of loved ones; and
       Whereas the American Red Cross has worked to promote 
     cooperation between Magen David Adom and other national Red 
     Cross/Red Crescent societies: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that--

     should include Magen David Adom as a legitimate national 
     society of the International Red Cross/Red Crescent Movement;
       (2) the Star of David should be recognized as a legitimate 
     symbol of humanitarian concern when utilized by Magen David 
     Adom; and
       (3) all other national societies of the International Red 
     Cross/Red Crescent Movement should take the example of the 
     American Red Cross and support full membership of Magen David 
     Adom in the International Red Cross/Red Crescent Movement.

  Mr. ENGEL moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
resolution (H. Res. 538): 

       Whereas, during the period from 1941 to 1945, Adolph Hitler 
     and the Nazi leadership of Germany implemented a massive 
     genocide against the Jewish people;
       Whereas the implementation of the genocide, which is 
     referred to as the Holocaust, resulted in the tragic deaths 
     of more than 6,000,000 Jews from throughout Europe; 
       Whereas Jewish men, women, and children were taken from 
     their homes and sent to gas chambers and death camps during 
     the Holocaust;
       Whereas Jewish individuals were hunted down by the Nazi 
     regime and its collaborators during the Holocaust;
       Whereas, in regions controlled by the Nazis during the 
     Holocaust, laws forbade an individual from assisting, hiding, 
     or concealing knowledge of the whereabouts of a Jew;
       Whereas the punishment for violating such laws was death;
       Whereas courageous individuals throughout Europe ignored 
     such laws and followed their consciences in order to save 
     Jews from deportation and death;

[[Page 2307]]

       Whereas, in many instances, such courageous individuals put 
     the lives of complete strangers ahead of their own lives in 
     the name of humanity;
       Whereas many of such courageous individuals, who are 
     heroes, are still living in the United States and elsewhere; 
     and
       Whereas the Jewish Foundation for Christian Rescuers, which 
     is a project of the Anti-Defamation League, working in 
     consultation with Yad Vashem, which is the Holocaust Martyrs' 
     and Heroes' Remembrance Authority in Israel, assists 
     approximately 1,000 of such courageous individuals who are in 
     financial need and endeavors to inculcate in the people of 
     the world the altruism and moral courage exemplified by such 
     courageous individuals: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the House of Representatives commends--
       (1) the countless heroic individuals who acted a great 
     personal risk to save Jews from death in concentration camps 
     and gas chambers during the Holocaust for--
       (A) placing humanitarian principles before personal safety; 
     and
       (B) protecting human beings from extreme acts of inhumanity 
     in the face of the acquiescence in such acts by many others 
     throughout the world; and
       (2) the Jewish Foundation for Christian Rescuers for its 
     inspiring and compelling work in recognizing, honoring, and 
     encouraging the people of the world to show the altruism and 
     moral courage of such heroic individuals.

Para. 118.43  situation in somalia

  Mr. ENGEL moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 370): 

       Whereas violence, anarchy, and starvation continue to 
     escalate in Somalia;
       Whereas there have been more than 100,000 deaths by 
     starvation and approximately 2,000,000 people face death from 
     starvation and disease as a result of drought, famine, and 
     civil war;
       Whereas one-fourth of all Somali children under the age of 
     five have perished and three out of four of the remaining 
     young children are still in danger of dying;
       Whereas a 95 percent malnutrition rate and a 75 percent 
     severe malnutrition rate currently exist in Somalia;
       Whereas hundreds of thousands of Somalis are refugees or 
     internally displaced;
       Whereas a state of almost total anarchy has existed for 19 
     months, following the overthrow of the Siad Barre 
     dictatorship and the subsequent civil war between various 
     Somali clans, during which period the government has ceased 
     to exist--no police, no army, no health ministry, no schools, 
     and no civil administration of any kind;
       Whereas Somali warring factions have disrupted 
     international relief efforts, attacked convoys, stolen food 
     and medical supplies, and injured and killed relief workers;
       Whereas the safety of relief workers and people seeking 
     care must be assured during periods needed to provide medical 
     and feeding services;
       Whereas Somali leaders have been unable or unwilling to 
     exert control over those responsible for the clan, subclan, 
     and random violence which jeopardizes relief operations;
       Whereas the process of peace negotiations should not be 
     permitted to delay resolution of the obvious security 
     problems that prevent relief operations; and
       Whereas President Bush recently welcomed the call of the 
     Secretary-General of the United Nations for a new agenda to 
     strengthen the ability of the United Nations to prevent, 
     contain, and resolve conflict across the globe: Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That the President should--
       (1) express to the United Nations Security Council the 
     desire and the willingness of the United States to 
     participate, consistent with applicable United States legal 
     requirements, in the deployment of armed United Nations 
     security guards, as authorized by the Security Council, in 
     order to secure emergency relief activities and enable 
     greater numbers of international and Somali organizations and 
     people to provide relief and rehabilitation assistance;
       (2) express to the United Nations Security Council that the 
     exigency of the crisis in Somalia warrants authorization by 
     the Security Council of the deployment of United Nations 
     security guards even in the event that an invitation by the 
     various warring Somali factions cannot be obtained;
       (3) encourage discussion of alternative strategies for 
     solving the political crisis in Somalia;
       (4) support the United Nations-sponsored relief 
     coordination conference for Somalia scheduled for mid-October 
     1992; and
       (5) make every effort to ensure that adequate United States 
     financial support exists for the United Nations to carry out 
     its humanitarian and peacekeeping/peacemaking mission in 
     Somalia.

Para. 118.45  earth summit

  Mr. ENGEL moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 353); as amended: 

       Whereas the United Nations Conference on Environment and 
     Development (hereinafter in this preamble referred to as 
     ``UNCED''), known as the Earth Summit, assembled in June of 
     1992 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the largest summit of heads 
     of state in history and outlined a comprehensive action plan 
     for environmentally sustainable development, known as Agenda 
     21;
       Whereas the United States has a strong national interest in 
     the environmental sustainability of global economic 
     development, and many pressing environmental and economic 
     problems are inherently transboundary and not susceptible to 
     resolution by the actions of any single nation acting alone;
       Whereas Agenda 21, a plan of national and international 
     actions to integrate environment and development, negotiated 
     and adopted by the United States and 177 other countries, 
     offers a significant starting point for continuing progress 
     in avoiding environmental degradation and social and economic 
     disintegration in the 21st century;
       Whereas the role of the United States, as a major economic 
     force and a country that has long been in the forefront of 
     environmental protection activities nationally and 
     internationally, should be one of leadership and positive 
     action in the implementation process of Agenda 21 and all 
     decisions of UNCED;
       Whereas Agenda 21 urges all governments to adopt national 
     strategies for sustainable development;
       Whereas Agenda 21 urges all countries to ``make significant 
     progress'' in incorporating environmental costs into economic 
     decisions, to undertake research or sustainable production 
     methods and consumption patterns, and to undertake other 
     actions to make their economies more environmentally 
     sustainable;
       Whereas Agenda 21 calls for a ``supportive international 
     climate for achieving environment and development goals,'' by 
     ``providing adequate financial resources to developing 
     countries and dealing with international debt,'' and calls 
     for ``the reallocation of resources presently committed to 
     military purposes'' to support United States policies and the 
     efforts of developing countries to implement Agenda 21;
       Whereas UNCED recommended that high-level United Nations 
     Commission on Sustainable Development (hereinafter in this 
     preamble referred to as the ``Commission'') be established by 
     the 47th United Nations General Assembly to provide a vital 
     forum in which the member states of the United Na- 

[[Page 2308]]

     tions may review progress made by considering reports from 
     national governments, international organizations, and 
     nongovernmental organizations;
       Whereas the United States was an active and positive 
     participant in UNCED negotiations regarding the Commission, 
     and will play a major role in the decisions of the 47th 
     United Nations General Assembly regarding the specific 
     modalities and effectiveness of the Commission;
       Whereas the agreements adopted at UNCED are milestones 
     toward the achievement of environmentally sustainable 
     economic development and for holding governments accountable 
     for progress toward integrating environment and development;
       Whereas many opportunities for agreements concerning more 
     extensive actions on critical issues remained unresolved at 
     UNCED and will require further attention by the nations of 
     the world; and
       Whereas the ultimate success of achieving sustainable 
     development and a healthy environment at the national and 
     international levels depends upon actions taken at the State 
     and local community levels, and on actions by schools, public 
     offices, businesses, and citizens: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) effective follow-up to achieve the many goals of the 
     agreements reached at the United Nations Conference on 
     Environment and Development (hereinafter in this resolution 
     referred to as ``UNCED'') will depend on the following 
     actions by the President and the United States Government:
       (a) The United States should adopt a national strategy for 
     environmentally sustainable development, based on an 
     extensive process of nationwide consultations with all 
     interested organizations and individuals, including State and 
     local governments, nongovernmental organization, businesses, 
     and labor groups.
       (B) The United States Government should encourage and 
     facilitate, at all levels of community and sectors of 
     society, appropriate means for adopting individual Agenda 21 
     plans of action, including the establishment of local, 
     county, State, business, and other boards and commissions for 
     achieving sustainable development. Each member of the 
     Congress should help initiate this process within their 
     States or districts.
       (C) The President should establish an effective mechanism 
     to plan, initiate, and coordinate United States policy for 
     implementing Agenda 21. Responsibility should be vested in a 
     duly constituted office, headed by an appropriate high level 
     official, and the necessary staff support structure should be 
     provided.
       (D) Policies should be formulated for foreign policy and 
     foreign assistance in order to help developing countries, and 
     for domestic actions in order to assure appropriate action by 
     the United States to implement Agenda 21;
       (2) in order to contribute to a transition to a sustainable 
     United States economy, the research and policy initiatives 
     urged in Agenda 21 should be pursued, including research on 
     sustainable consumption and production patterns, creation of 
     a policy framework for sustainable consumption patterns, 
     identification of a strategy to eliminate or reduce subsidies 
     for unsustainable natural resource exploitation, and to 
     improve pricing policies;
       (3) the Congress should adopt a plan to reallocate an 
     appropriate amount of savings from reduced defense spending 
     in order to achieve its goals of global environmental 
     protection and sustainable development over the next decade;
       (4) the President should urge and actively participate in 
     new and existing multilateral efforts aimed at creating a 
     more favorable international economic climate for developing 
     countries to practice sustainable development, and such 
     efforts should include international consultations regarding 
     reduction in developing country debt linked with 
     environmental policy reforms, and increased loans and 
     concessional assistance upon development and implementation 
     of national sustainable development strategies in developing 
     countries;
       (5) the United States should actively support, at the 47th 
     United Nations General Assembly, the effective establishment 
     of a high-level United Nations Commission on Sustainable 
     Development (hereinafter in this resolution referred to as 
     the ``Commission''), including the establishment of 
     provisions for meaningful participation by organizations of 
     the United Nations system, international financial 
     institutions, and other relevant intergovernmental 
     organizations and nongovernmental organizations recommended 
     by UNCED;
       (6) the President should affirm strong United States 
     commitment to the Commission by appointing a high-level 
     representative from the United States to the Commission, and 
     by encouraging the United Nations Secretary General to 
     appoint an Under Secretary General for Sustainable 
     Development to coordinate the implementation of Agenda 21 in 
     the United Nations system and to head the secretariat support 
     structure for the Commission;
       (7) the President should submit a national report for the 
     Commission on activities the United States has undertaken to 
     implement Agenda 21, both domestically and internationally, 
     on progress made toward fulfilling other commitments 
     undertaken at UNCED, and on other environmental and 
     developmental issues that the United States finds relevant, 
     and should strongly encourage all United Nations members to 
     submit national reports;
       (8) the United States should encourage the Commission to 
     call for periodic international meetings to continue the 
     process toward developing and advancing international 
     agreement to facilitate sustainable economic development for 
     the protection of the global environment and the promotion of 
     human dignity of current and future generations; and
       (9) the President should submit an annual report to the 
     Congress on the steps taken by the United States to implement 
     Agenda 21 and the recommendations made by this resolution, 
     and should make information regarding such steps available to 
     members of the Congress upon their request.

       (a) In General.--The Act is amended by inserting after 
     section 20 (as added by section 110(a)) the following 
     section:

     ``SEC. 21. TRADITIONALLY UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS.

       ``(a) Findings.--With respect to the programs authorized in 
     titles II through VIII, the Congress finds as follows:
       ``(1) Racial profile.--The racial profile of America is 
     rapidly changing. While the rate of increase for white 
     Americans is 3.2 percent, the rate of increase for racial and 
     ethnic minorities is much higher: 38.6 percent for Latinos, 
     14.6 percent for African-Americans, and 40.1 percent for 
     Asian-Americans and other ethnic groups. By the year 2000, 
     the Nation will have 260,000,000 people, one of every three 
     of whom will be either African-American, Latino, or Asian-
     American.
       ``(2) Rate of disability.--Ethnic and racial minorities 
     tend to have disabling conditions at a disproportionately 
     high rate. The rate of work-related disability for American 
     Indians is about one and one-half times that of the general 
     population. African-Americans are also one and one-half times 
     more likely to be disabled than whites and twice as likely to 
     be severely disabled.
       ``(3) Inequitable treatment.--Patterns of inequitable 
     treatment of minorities have been documented in all major 
     junctures of the vocational rehabilitation process. As 
     compared to white Americans, a larger percentage of African-
     American applicants to the vocational rehabilitation system 
     is denied acceptance. Of applicants accepted for service, a 
     larger percentage of African-American cases is closed without 
     being rehabilitated. Minorities are provided less training 
     than their white counterparts. Consistently, less money is 
     spent on minorities than on their white counterparts.
       ``(4) Recruitment.--Recruitment efforts within vocational 
     rehabilitation at the level of pre-service training, 
     continuing education, and in-service training must focus on 
     bringing larger numbers of minorities into the profession in 
     order to provide appropriate practitioner knowledge, role 
     models, and sufficient manpower to address the clearly 
     changing demography of vocational rehabilitation.
       ``(b) Outreach to Minorities.--
       ``(1) Policy.--The Commissioner shall develop a policy to 
     mobilize the resources of the Nation to prepare minorities 
     for careers in vocational rehabilitation, independent living, 
     and related services.
       ``(2) Focus.--This policy shall focus on--
       ``(A) the recruitment of minorities into the field of 
     vocational rehabilitation counseling and related disciplines; 
     and
       ``(B) financially assisting Historically Black Colleges and 
     Universities, Hispanic-serving institutions of higher 
     education, and other institutions of higher education whose 
     minority enrollment is at least 50 percent to prepare 
     students for vocational rehabilitation and related service 
     careers.
       ``(3) Plan.--
       ``(A) Development.--The Commissioner shall develop a plan 
     to provide outreach services and other related activities 
     (such as cooperative efforts) to the entities described in 
     subparagraph (B) in order to enhance the capacity and 
     increase the participation of such entities in competitions 
     for grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements under 
     titles I through VIII.
       ``(B) Entities.--The entities referred to in subparagraph 
     (A) are--
       ``(i) Historically Black Colleges and Universities, 
     Hispanic-serving institutions of higher education, and other 
     institutions of higher education whose minority student 
     enrollment is at least 50 percent;
       ``(ii) nonprofit and for-profit agencies at least 51 
     percent owned or controlled by one or more minority 
     individuals; and
       ``(iii) underrepresented populations.
       ``(C) Funding.--For the purpose of implementing the plan 
     required in subparagraph (A), the Commissioner shall, for 
     each of the fiscal years 1993 through 1997, expend 1 percent 
     of the funds appropriated for the fiscal year involved for 
     carrying out programs authorized in titles II through VIII of 
     this Act, except programs authorized under title IV or V.
       ``(3) Effort.--The Commissioner shall exercise the utmost 
     authority, resourcefulness, and diligence to meet the 
     requirements of this section.
       ``(4) Report.--
       ``(A) In general.--Not later than January 31 of each year, 
     starting with fiscal year 1994, the Commissioner shall 
     prepare and submit to Congress a final report on the progress 
     to- 

[[Page 2315]]

     ward meeting the goals of this section during the preceding 
     fiscal year.
       ``(B) Contents.--The report shall include--
       ``(i) a full explanation of any progress toward meeting the 
     goals of this section; and
       ``(ii) a plan to meet the goals, if necessary.
       ``(5) Demonstration.--In awarding grants, contracts, or 
     cooperative agreements under titles I, II, III, VI, VII, and 
     VIII, and section 509, the Commissioner and the Director of 
     the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation 
     Research, where appropriate, shall require applicants to 
     demonstrate how they will address, in whole or in part, the 
     needs of individuals with disabilities from minority 
     backgrounds.''.

     the Act is amended by inserting after the item relating to

       ``(a)(1) Congress finds that--
       ``(A) work--
       ``(i) is a valued activity, both for individuals and 
     society; and
       ``(ii) fulfills the need of an individual to be productive, 
     promotes independence, enhances self-esteem, and allows for 
     participation in the mainstream of life in America;
       ``(B) as a group, individuals with disabilities experience 
     staggering levels of unemployment and poverty;
       ``(C) individuals with disabilities, including individuals 
     with the most severe disabilities, have demonstrated their 
     ability to achieve gainful employment in integrated settings 
     if appropriate services and supports are provided;
       ``(D) reasons for the significant number of individuals 
     with disabilities not working, or working at a level not 
     commensurate with their abilities and capabilities, include--
       ``(i) discrimination;
       ``(ii) lack of accessible and available transportation;
       ``(iii) fear of losing health coverage under the medicare 
     and medicaid programs under titles XVIII and XIX of the 
     Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395 et seq. and 1396 et seq.) 
     or fear of losing existing private health insurance; and
       ``(iv) lack of education, training, and supports to meet 
     job qualification standards necessary to enter or retain or 
     advance in employment;
       ``(E) enforcement of title V and of the Americans with 
     Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.) holds the 
     promise of ending discrimination for individuals with 
     disabilities; and
       ``(F) the provision of vocational rehabilitation services 
     can enable individuals with disabilities, including 
     individuals with the most severe disabilities, to pursue 
     meaningful careers by securing gainful employment 
     commensurate with their abilities and capabilities.
       ``(2) The purpose of this title is to assist States in 
     operating a comprehensive, coordinated, effective, efficient, 
     and accountable program of vocational rehabilitation that is 
     designed to assess, plan, develop, and provide vocational 
     rehabilitation services for individuals with disabilities, 
     consistent with their strengths, resources, priorities, 
     concerns, abilities, and capabilities, so that such 
     individuals may prepare for and engage in gainful employment.
       ``(3) It is the policy of the United States that such a 
     program shall be carried out in a manner consistent with the 
     following principles:
       ``(A) Individuals with disabilities, including individuals 
     with the most severe disabilities, are generally presumed to 
     be capable of engaging in gainful employment and the 
     provision of individualized vocational rehabilitation 
     services can improve their ability to become gainfully 
     employed.
       ``(B) Individuals with disabilities must be provided the 
     opportunities to obtain gainful employment in integrated 
     settings.
       ``(C) Individuals with disabilities must be active 
     participants in their own rehabilitation programs, including 
     making meaningful and informed choices about the selection of 
     their vocational goals and objectives and the vocational 
     rehabilitation services they receive.
       ``(D) Families and natural supports can play an important 
     role in the success of a vocational rehabilitation program, 
     if the individual with a disability requests, desires, or 
     needs such supports.
       ``(E) Qualified vocational rehabilitation counselors, other 
     qualified rehabilitation personnel, and other qualified 
     personnel facilitate the accomplishment of the employment 
     goals and objectives of an individual.
       ``(F) Individuals with disabilities and their advocates are 
     full partners in the vocational rehabilitation program and 
     must be involved on a regular basis and in a meaningful 
     manner with respect to policy development and implementation.
       ``(G) Accountability measures must facilitate and not 
     impede the accomplishment of the goals and objectives of the 
     program, including providing vocational rehabilitation 
     services to, among others, individuals with the most severe 
     disabilities.''.

     (B), from sums appropriated for each fiscal year to carry out 
     this part (not including sums used in accordance with section 
     101(a)(34)(B)), the Commissioner shall make an allotment to 
     each State whose State plan has been approved under section 
     101 of an amount bearing the same ratio to such sums as the 
     population of the State bears to the population of all 
     States.
       ``(B) Minimums.--Subject to the availability of 
     appropriations to carry out this part, the allotment to any 
     State under subparagraph (A) shall be not less than $200,000 
     or one-third of one percent of the sums made available for 
     the fiscal year for which the allotment is made, whichever is 
     greater, and the allotment of any State under this section 
     for any fiscal year that is less than $200,000 or one-third 
     of one percent of such sums shall be increased to the greater 
     of the two amounts.

       ``(A) In general.--For the purposes of this subsection, 
     Guam, American Samoa, the United States Virgin Islands, the 
     Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the 
     Republic of Palau shall not be considered to be States.
       ``(B) Allotment.--Each jurisdiction described in 
     subparagraph (A) shall be allotted not less than one-eighth 
     of one percent of the amounts made available for purposes of 
     this part for the fiscal year for which the allotment is 
     made, except that the Republic of Palau may receive such

     Association with Palau takes effect.

     determining the minimum amount of an allotment under 
     paragraph (1)(B), the amount $200,000 shall, in the case of 
     such allotments for fiscal year 1994 and subsequent fiscal 
     years, be increased to the extent necessary to offset the 
     effects of inflation occurring since October 1992, as 
     measured by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price 
     Index For All Urban Consumers (U.S. city average) during the 
     period ending on April 1 of the fiscal year preceding the 
     fiscal year for which the allotment is to be made.

     adjustments as may be necessary to prevent the allotment of 
     any such remaining States from being thereby reduced to less 
     than the greater of $200,000 or one-third of one percent of

     will be able to use additional amounts during such year for 
     carrying out such provisions. Any amount made available to a 
     State for any fiscal year pursuant to the preceding sentence 
     shall, for the purposes of this section, be regarded as an 
     increase in the allotment of the State (as determined under 
     the preceding provisions of this section) for such year.''.

     described in subparagraph (A) shall be allotted not less than 
     $50,000 for the fiscal year for which the allotment is made,

       ``(5) Adjustment for inflation.--
       ``(A) States.--For purposes of determining the minimum 
     amount of an allotment under paragraph (3)(B), the amount 
     $100,000 shall, in the case of such allotments for fiscal 
     year 1994 and subsequent fiscal years, be increased to the 
     extent necessary to offset the effects of inflation occurring

     the Consumer Price Index For All Urban Consumers (U.S. city 
     average) during the period ending on April 1 of the fiscal 
     year preceding the fiscal year for which the allotment is to

     the extent necessary to offset the effects of inflation

     derived by proportionately reducing the allotments of the 
     remaining systems within States under subsection (c)(3), but 
     with such adjustments as may be necessary to prevent the 
     allotment of any such remaining systems within States from 
     being thereby reduced to less than the greater of $100,000 or 
     one-third of one percent of the sums made available for 
     purposes of this section for the fiscal year for which the

     available for carrying out the provisions of this section to 
     one or more of the systems that the Commissioner determines 
     will be able to use additional amounts during such year for 
     carrying out such provisions. Any amount made available to a 
     system for any fiscal year pursuant to the preceding sentence

     job and career opportunities for individuals with 
     disabilities in the competitive labor market by engaging the 
     talent and leadership of private industry as partners in the 
     rehabilitation process, to identify competitive job and 
     career opportunities and the skills needed to perform such 
     jobs, to create practical job and career readiness and 
     training programs, and to provide job placements and career 
     advancement.
       ``(2) The Commissioner, in consultation with the 
     Secretaries of Labor and Commerce and with designated State 
     units, may award grants to individual employers, community 
     rehabilitation program providers, labor unions, trade 
     associations, Indian tribes, tribal organizations, designated

     State unit determines the individual to be an individual with

     determination, the unit shall rely on the determination made 
     by the recipient of the grant under which the services are 
     provided, to the extent appropriate and available and 
     consistent with the requirements under this Act. If a

     inappropriate, the recipient of the grant may consider the 
     individual to be eligible.

     the grant recipient regarding the establishment of the

     recipient is in compliance with the evaluation standards.

     Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5701) is 
     amended--
       (1) by amending paragraph (1) to read as follows:
       ``(1) juveniles who have become homeless or who leave and 
     remain away from home without parental permission, are at 
     risk of developing serious health and other problems because 
     they lack sufficient resources to obtain care and may live on 
     the street for extended periods thereby endangering 
     themselves and creating a substantial law enforcement problem 
     for communities in which they congregate;''; 
       (2) by striking ``and'' at the end of paragraph (4);
       (3) in paragraph (5) by striking ``temporary'' and all that 
     follows through the period at the end and inserting ``care 
     (including preventive services, emergency shelter services, 
     and extended residential shelter) outside the welfare system 
     and the law enforcement system;'' and
       (4) by adding at the end the following new paragraphs:
       ``(6) runaway and homeless youth have a disproportionate 
     share of health, behavioral, and emotional problems compared 
     to the general population of youth, but have less access to 
     health care and other appropriate services and therefore may 
     need access to longer periods of residential care, more 
     intensive aftercare service, and other assistance;
       ``(7) to make a successful transition to adulthood, runaway 
     youth, homeless youth, and other street youth need 
     opportunities to complete high school or earn a general 
     equivalency degree, learn job skills, and obtain employment;
       ``(8) in view of the interstate nature of the problem, it 
     is the responsibility of the Federal Government to develop an 
     accurate national reporting system and to develop an 
     effective system of care including prevention, emergency 
     shelter services, and longer residential care outside the 
     public welfare and law enforcement structures;
       ``(9) early intervention services (such as home-based 
     services) are needed to prevent runaway and homeless youth 
     from becoming involved in the juvenile justice system and 
     other law enforcement systems; and
       ``(10) street-based services that target runaway and 
     homeless youth where they congregate are needed to reach 
     youth who require assistance but who would not otherwise 
     avail themselves of such assistance or services without 
     street-based outreach.''.
       (b) Authority To Make Grants.--
       (1) Authority.--Section 311(a) of the Runaway and Homeless 
     Youth Act (42 U.S.C. 5711(a)) is amended by striking

     an individual--

     exceed 6 months.''.
       (c) Eligibility.--Section 312 of the Juvenile Justice and

     SEC. 9. AMENDMENT TO THE CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT 
                   ACT.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) circumstances surrounding the death of a young boy 
     named Adam Mann in New York City prompted a shocking 
     documentary focusing on the inability of child protection 
     services to protect suffering children;
       (2) the documentary described in paragraph (1) showed the 
     serious need for systemic changes in our child welfare 
     protection system;
       (3) thorough, coordinated, and comprehensive investigation 
     will, it is hoped, lead to the prevention of abuse, neglect, 
     or death in the future;
       (4) an undue burden is placed on investigation due to 
     strict Federal and State laws and regulations regarding 
     confidentiality;
       (5) while the Congress recognizes the importance of 
     maintaining the confidentiality of records pertaining to 
     child abuse, neglect, and death, often the purpose of 
     confidentiality laws and regulations are defeated when they 
     have the effect of protecting those responsible;
       (6) comprehensive and coordinated interagency communication 
     needs to be established, with adequate provisions to protect 
     against the public disclosure of any detrimental information 
     need to be established;
       (7) Certain States, including Georgia, North Carolina, 
     California, Missouri, Arizona, Minnesota, Oklahoma, and 
     Oregon, have taken steps to establish by statute interagency, 
     multidisciplinary fatality review teams to fully investigate 
     incidents of death believed to be caused by child abuse or 
     neglect;
       (8) teams such as those described in paragraph (7) should 
     be established in every State, and their scope of review 
     should be expanded to include egregious incidents of child 
     abuse and neglect before the child in question dies; and
       (9) teams such as those described in paragraph (7) will 
     increase the accountability of child protection services.
       (b) Modification of Confidentiality Provision Regarding 
     State Grants Under Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment 
     Act.--Section 107(b)(4) of the Child Abuse Prevention and 
     Treatment Act (42 U.S.C. 5106A(b)(4)) is amended to read as 
     follows:
       ``(4) provide for--
       ``(A) methods to preserve the confidentiality of all 
     records in order to protect the rights of the child and of 
     the child's parents or guardians, including methods to ensure 
     that disclosure (and redisclosure) of information concerning 
     child abuse or neglect involving specific individuals is made 
     only to persons or entities that the State determines have a 
     need for such information directly related to purposes of 
     this Act; and
       ``(B) requirements for the prompt disclosure of all 
     relevant information to any Federal, State, or local 
     governmental entity, or any agent of such entity, with a need 
     for such information in order to carry out its 
     responsibilities under law to protect children from abuse and 
     neglect;''.
       (c) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that each State should review and reform of the system in the 
     State for protecting against child abuse and neglect, 
     including implementing formal interagency, multidisciplinary 
     teams--
       (1) to review--
       (A) all cases of child death in which the child was 
     previously known by the State to have been abused or 
     neglected; and
       (B) incidents of child abuse before a child dies when there 
     is evidence of negligent handling by the State,
     in order to hold the State accountable; and

  The Clerk read the words taken down as follows:

       ``This President was willing to bring down and subjugate 
     the defense of the country because of the agenda of the 
     National Right to Life Committee. He has done it before. He 
     has brought down the Labor-HHS appropriations because of a 
     similar amendment protecting a woman's right to choose. I 
     want America to know that there is no function of this 
     Government that George Herbert Hoover Bush would not 
     subjugate to the agenda of the National Right to Life----''

words.

     operations can be completed at a low-volume site using an 
     alternative technology process evaluated by the Secretary of 
     the Army falls within the deadline established by the 
     amendment made by section 171 and the Secretary determines 
     that the use of that alternative technology process for the 
     destruction of chemical weapons at that site is significantly 
     safer and equally or more cost-effective than the use of the 
     baseline disassembly and incineration process, then the 
     Secretary of the Army, as part of the requirement of section 
     1412(a) of Public Law 99-145, shall carry out the disposal of 
     chemical weapons at that site using such alternative 
     technology process. In addition, the Secretary may carry out 
     the disposal of chemical weapons at sites other than low-
     volume sites using an alternative technology process (rather 
     than the baseline process) after notifying Congress of the 
     Secretary's intent to do so.
       (b) Applicability of Certain Provisions of Section 1412.--
     Subsections (c), (e), (f), and (g) of section 1412 of Public 
     Law 99-145 (50 U.S.C. 1521) shall apply to this section and

     technology process for destruction of chemical weapons at any 
     low-volume site, the Secretary shall submit to Congress a 
     revised chemical weapons disposal concept plan incorporating 
     the alternative technology process and reflecting the revised 
     stockpile disposal schedule developed under section 1412(b) 
     of Public Law 99-145 (50 U.S.C. 1521(b)), as amended by 
     section 171. In developing the revised concept plan, the 
     Secretary should consider, to the maximum extent practicable, 
     revisions to the program and program schedule that capitalize 
     on the changes to the chemical demilitarization schedule 
     resulting from the revised stockpile elimination deadline by 
     reducing cost and decreasing program risk.
       (b) Matters To Be Included.--The revised concept plan 
     should include--
       (1) life-cycle cost estimates and schedules; and
       (2) a description of the facilities and operating 
     procedures to be employed using the alternative technology 
     process.

     Defense and who is designated to provide advice under this 
     section shall advise the member of the ways in which the 
     member may seek redress under this section.
       (2) If a member of the Armed Forces submits to an Inspector 
     General an allegation that the member was referred for a

     allegation.
       (3) The member shall have the right to also be evaluated by 
     a mental health professional of the member's own choosing, if 
     reasonably available. Any such evaluation, including an 
     evaluation by a mental health professional who is not an

     referred for an evaluation and shall be at the member's own 
     expense.

     health evaluation to meet with an attorney, Inspector 
     General, chaplain, or other appropriate party. If a 
     commanding officer believes the condition of the member 
     requires that such evaluation occur sooner, the commanding 
     officer shall state the reasons in writing as part of the 
     personnel record of the member.
       (5) In the event the member is aboard a naval vessel or in 
     a circumstance related to the member's military duties which 
     makes compliance with any of the procedures in subsection (b) 
     impractical, the commanding officer seeking the referral 
     shall prepare a memorandum setting forth the reasons for the 
     inability to comply with such procedures.
       (d) Additional Rights of Members and Procedures for 
     Emergency or Involuntary Inpatient Evaluations.--(1) The 
     revisions required by subsection (a) shall provide that a 
     member of the Armed Forces may be admitted, under criteria 
     for admission set forth in such regulations, to a treatment 
     facility for an emergency or involuntary mental health

     in which a member of the Armed Forces is admitted to a 
     treatment facility for an emergency or involuntary mental 
     health evaluation, the following provisions apply:
       (A) Reasonable efforts shall be made, as soon after 
     admission as the member's condition permits, to inform the 
     member of the reasons for the evaluation, the nature and

     member's rights under this section.
       (B) The member shall have the right to contact, as soon

       (C) The member shall be evaluated by a psychiatrist or a 
     physician within two business days after admittance, to 
     determine if continued hospitalization and treatment is 
     justified or if the member should be released from the 
     facility.
       (D) If a determination is made that continued 
     hospitalization and treatment is justified, the member must 
     be notified orally and in writing of the reasons for such 
     determination.

     in an inappropriate, punitive, or retributive manner in 
     violation of this section; and

     subparagraph (F) that the mental health evaluation was used 
     in a manner in

     appropriate authority in the chain of command of the member.
       (2) Such revisions shall provide that an inappropriate 
     referral for a mental health evaluation, when taken as a 
     reprisal for a communication referred to in paragraph (1), 
     may be the basis for a proceeding under section 892 of title 
     10, United States Code. Persons not subject to the Uniform 
     Code of Military Justice who fail to comply with the

       (a) Findings.--With respect to the roles and missions of 
     the Army and Marine Corps, the Congress makes the following 
     findings:
       (1) The Army and the Marine Corps both provide military 
     capabilities that are necessary for carrying out the national 
     military strategy of the United States.
       (2) Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm 
     demonstrated the complementary nature of those capabilities 
     and the substantial degree to which the Army and the Marine 
     Corps can effectively coordinate their activities and 
     cooperate with each other.
       (3) The availability of future Federal budget resources for 
     the Army and the Marine Corps is likely to be significantly 
     more limited than the Federal budget resources currently 
     available for the Army and the Marine Corps.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the Army and the Marine Corps should intensify efforts--
       (1) to eliminate unnecessary duplication; and
       (2) to improve interservice coordination and to specialize 
     in specific functional areas.
       (c) Examination by CJCS.--(1) The Congress encourages the 
     Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to examine whether--
       (A) the Army should provide the Marine Corps with armor and 
     heavy fire support needed for mid-intensity and high-
     intensity combat; or
       (B) the Marine Corps should be equipped with the armor, 
     heavy artillery, and other weapons and sustainability needed 
     to engage in mid-intensity and high-intensity combat 
     independent of the other military services.
       (2) In conducting the examination, the Chairman should 
     consider the following actions:
       (A) Designating Army artillery battalions equipped with the 
     Multiple Launch Rocket System to support Marine amphibious 
     forces afloat.
       (B) Designating Army tank battalions to support Marine 
     amphibious forces afloat.
       (C) Equipping maritime prepositioning ships with Multiple 
     Launch Rocket System (MLRS) launchers and M1 tanks to be 
     manned by Army units in support of Marine forces.
       (D) Transferring management of all prepositioning shipping 
     on behalf of all of the Armed Forces to the Marine Corps.
       (E) Transferring Army shipping and lighterage to the Navy.
       (3) In the consideration of the actions referred to in 
     paragraph (2), the Chairman should evaluate the logistics, 
     training, and operational implications of each action.
       (4) If the Chairman recommends that the Marine Corps be 
     equipped with the armor, heavy artillery, other weapons, and 
     sustainability necessary for engaging in mid-intensity and 
     high-intensity combat independent of the other services, the 
     Chairman should determine, as part of the examination under 
     this paragraph, the following:
       (A) What additional procurement requirements and costs are 
     necessary to equip the Marine Corps to meet the demands of 
     mid-intensity and high-intensity combat.
       (B) The adequacy of current prepositioning programs, mine 
     warfare capability, naval fire support, and night fighting 
     capability to meet the demands of mid-intensity and high-
     intensity combat.
       (d) Roles and Missions Authority of Chairman.--The Chairman 
     should consider the findings and sense of Congress set forth 
     in subsections (a) and (b), and the matters set forth in 
     subsection (c), including the options for streamlining the 
     roles and missions of the Army and the Marine Corps, in the 
     performance of the Chairman's responsibilities under section 
     153(b) of title 10, United States Code.

     SEC. 933. JOINT DUTY CREDIT FOR CERTAIN DUTY PERFORMED DURING 
                   OPERATIONS DESERT SHIELD AND DESERT STORM.

       (a) Authority To Give Joint Duty Credit.--(1) The Secretary 
     of Defense, in consultation with the Chairman of the Joint 
     Chiefs of Staff, may give an officer who has completed 
     service described in paragraph (2) credit for having 
     completed a full tour of duty in a joint duty assignment, or 
     credit countable for determining cumulative service in joint 
     duty assignments, for the purposes of chapter 38 of title 10, 
     United States Code, notwithstanding the length of such 
     service or whether that service is within the definition of 
     ``joint duty assignment'' in section 668 of title 10, United 
     States Code.
       (2) Service referred to in paragraph (1) is service 
     performed by an officer, any portion of which took place 
     during the period beginning on August 2, 1990, and ending on 
     February 28, 1991, in an assignment in the Persian Gulf 
     combat zone that (as determined by the Secretary of Defense) 
     provided significant experience in joint matters.
       (3) The Secretary, after consultation with the Chairman of 
     the Joint Chiefs of Staff, may give credit for service in a 
     joint duty assignment under paragraph (1) in the case of an

     Corps). Any such credit shall be granted by the Secretary on 
     a case-by-case basis.
       (4) The Secretary of Defense shall establish uniform 
     criteria for defining the standards to be used in determining 
     whether to give an officer credit for service in a joint duty 
     assignment under paragraph (1). Such criteria shall be 
     consistent with the congressional declarations of policy in 
     section 2 of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 
     401) and section 3 of the Goldwater-Nichols Department of 
     Defense Reorganization Act of 1986 (10 U.S.C. 111 note). The 
     criteria shall include standards to be used in determining 
     whether to give an officer credit for completion of a full

     Secretary of Defense shall establish requirements for 
     counter-drug detection and monitoring systems to be used by 
     the Department of Defense in the performance of its mission 
     under section 124(a) of title 10, United States Code, as lead 
     agency of the Federal Government for the detection and 
     monitoring of the transit of illegal drugs into the United 
     States. Such requirements shall be designed--
       (1) to minimize unnecessary redundancy between counter-drug 
     detection and monitoring systems;
       (2) to grant priority to assets and technologies of the 
     Department of Defense that are already in existence or that 
     would require little additional development to be available 
     for use in the performance of such mission;
       (3) to promote commonality and interoperability between 
     counter-drug detection and monitoring systems in a cost-
     effective manner; and
       (4) to maximize the potential of using counter-drug 
     detection and monitoring systems for other defense missions 
     whenever practicable.

     identify and evaluate existing and proposed counter-drug 
     detection and monitoring systems in light of the requirements 
     established under subsection (a). In carrying out such 
     evaluation, the Secretary shall--
       (1) assess the capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses of 
     counter-drug detection and monitoring systems; and
       (2) determine the optimal and most cost-effective 
     combination of use of counter-drug detection and monitoring 
     systems to carry out activities relating to the 
     reconnaissance, detection, and monitoring of drug traffic.
       (c) Systems Plan.--Based on the results of the evaluation 
     under subsection (b), the Secretary of Defense shall prepare 
     a plan for the development, acquisition, and use of improved 
     counter-drug detection and monitoring systems by the Armed 
     Forces. In developing the plan, the Secretary shall also make 
     every effort to determine which counter-drug detection and 
     monitoring systems should be eliminated from the counter-drug 
     program based on the results of such evaluation. The plan 
     shall include an estimate by the Secretary of the full cost 
     to implement the plan, including the cost to develop, 
     procure, operate, and maintain equipment used in counter-drug 
     detection and monitoring activities performed under the plan 
     and training and personnel costs associated with such 
     activities.
       (d) Report.--Not later than six months after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall 
     submit to Congress a report on the requirements established 
     under subsection (a) and the results of the evaluation 
     conducted under subsection (b). The report shall include the 
     plan prepared under subsection (c).
       (e) Limitation on Obligation of Funds.--(1) Except as 
     provided in paragraph (2), none of the funds appropriated or 
     otherwise made available for the Department of Defense for 
     fiscal year 1993 pursuant to an authorization of 
     appropriations in this Act may be obligated or expended for 
     the procurement or upgrading of a counter-drug detection and 
     monitoring system, for research and development with respect 
     to such a system, or for the lease or rental of such a system 
     until after the date on which the Secretary of Defense 
     submits to Congress the report required under subsection (d).
       (2) Paragraph (1) shall not prohibit obligations or 
     expenditures of funds for--
       (A) any procurement, upgrading, research and development, 
     or lease of a counter-drug detection and monitoring system 
     that is necessary to carry out the evaluation required under 
     subsection (b); or
       (B) the operation and maintenance of counter-drug detection 
     and monitoring systems used by the Department of Defense as 
     of the date of the enactment of this Act.
       (f) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term 
     ``counter-drug detection and monitoring systems'' means land-
     , air-, and sea-based detection and monitoring systems 
     suitable for use by the Department of Defense in the 
     performance of its mission--
       (1) under section 124(a) of title 10, United States Code, 
     as lead agency of the Federal Government for the detection 
     and monitoring of the aerial and maritime transit of illegal 
     drugs into the United States; and

     investigation is any form of investigation of an aircraft

     Information.--(1) The Secretary concerned, upon request, 
     shall publicly disclose unclassified tapes, scientific 
     reports, and other factual information pertinent to an

       ``(A) that such tapes, reports, or other information would 
     be included within and releasable with the final accident 
     investigation report; and
       ``(B) that release of such tapes, reports, or other 
     information--
       ``(i) would not undermine the ability of accident or safety 
     investigators to continue to conduct the investigation; and
       ``(ii) would not compromise national security.
       ``(2) A disclosure under paragraph (1) may not be made by 
     or through officials with responsibility for, or who are 
     conducting, a safety investigation with respect to the 
     accident.
       ``(c) Opinions Regarding Causation of Accident.--Following 
     a military aircraft accident--
       ``(1) if the evidence surrounding the accident is 
     sufficient for the investigators who conduct the accident 
     investigation to come to an opinion (or opinions) as to the 
     cause or causes of the accident, the final report of the 
     accident investigation shall set forth the opinion (or 
     opinions) of the investigators as to the cause or causes of 
     the accident; and
       ``(2) if the evidence surrounding the accident is not 
     sufficient for those investigators to come to an opinion as 
     to the cause or causes of the accident, the final report of 
     the accident investigation shall include a description of 
     those factors, if any, that, in the opinion of the 
     investigators, substantially contributed to or caused the 
     accident.
       ``(d) Use of Information in Civil Proceedings.--For 
     purposes of any civil or criminal proceeding arising from an 
     aircraft accident, any opinion of the accident investigators 
     as to the cause of, or the factors contributing to, the 
     accident set forth in the accident investigation report may 
     not be considered as evidence in such proceeding, nor may 
     such information be considered an admission of liability by 
     the United States or by any person referred to in those 
     conclusions or statements.

     department shall prescribe regulations to carry out this

                   RELATING TO SERVICE MEMBERS WHO DIE.

       (a) Availability of Fatality Reports and Records.--
       (1) Requirement.--The Secretary of each military department 
     shall ensure that fatality reports and records pertaining to 
     any member of the Armed Forces who dies in the line of duty 
     shall be made available to family members of the service 
     member in accordance with this subsection.
       (2) Information to be provided after notification of 
     death.--Within a reasonable period of time after family 
     members of a service member are notified of the member's 
     death, but not more than 30 days after the date of 
     notification, the Secretary concerned shall ensure that the 
     family members--
       (A) in any case in which the cause or circumstances 
     surrounding the death are under investigation, are informed 
     of that fact, of the names of the agencies within the 
     Department of Defense conducting the investigations, and of 
     the existence of any reports by such agencies that have been 
     or will be issued as a result of the investigations; and
       (B) are furnished, if the family members so desire, a copy 
     of any completed investigative report and any other completed 
     fatality reports that are available at the time family 
     members are provided the information described in 
     subparagraph (A) to the extent such reports may be furnished 
     consistent with sections 552 and 552a of title 5, United 
     States Code.
       (3) Assistance in obtaining reports.--(A) In any case in 
     which an investigative report 
     or other fatality reports are not available at the time 
     family members of a service member are provided the 
     information described in paragraph (2)(A) about the member's 
     death, the Secretary concerned shall ensure that a copy of 
     such investigative report and any other fatality reports are 
     furnished to the family members, if they so desire, when the 
     reports are completed and become available, to the extent 
     such reports may be furnished consistent with sections 552 
     and 552a of title 5, United States Code.
       (B) In any case in which an investigative report or other 
     fatality reports cannot be released at the time family 
     members of a service member are provided the information 
     described in paragraph (2)(A) about the member's death 
     because of section 552 or 552a of title 5, United States 
     Code, the Secretary concerned shall ensure that the family 
     members--
       (i) are informed about the requirements and procedures 
     necessary to request a copy of such reports; and
       (ii) are assisted, if the family members so desire, in 
     submitting a request in accordance with such requirements and 
     procedures.
       (C) The requirement of subparagraph (B) to inform and 
     assist family members in obtaining copies of fatality reports 
     shall continue until a copy of each report is obtained, or 
     access to any such report is denied by competent authority 
     within the Department of Defense.
       (4) Waiver.--The requirements of paragraph (2) or (3) may 
     be waived on a case-by-case basis, but only if the Secretary 
     of the military department concerned determines that 
     compliance with such requirements is not in the interests of 
     national security.
       (b) Review of Combat Fatality Notification Procedures.--
       (1) Review.--The Secretary of Defense shall conduct a 
     review of the fatality notification procedures used by the 
     military departments. Such review shall examine the following 
     matters:
       (A) Whether uniformity in combat fatality notification 
     procedures among the military departments is desirable, 
     particularly with respect to--
       (i) the use of one or two casualty notification and 
     assistance officers;
       (ii) the use of standardized fatality report forms and 
     witness statements;
       (iii) the use of a single center for all military 
     departments through which combat fatality information may be 
     processed; and
       (iv) the use of uniform procedures and the provision of a 
     dispute resolution process for instances in which members of 
     one of the Armed Forces inflict casualties on members of 
     another of the Armed Forces.
       (B) Whether existing combat fatality report forms should be 
     modified to include a block or blocks with which to identify 
     the cause of death as ``friendly fire'', ``U.S. ordnance'', 
     or ``unknown''.
       (C) Whether the existing ``Emergency Data'' form prepared 
     by members of the Armed Forces should be revised to allow 
     members to specify provision for notification of additional 
     family members in cases such as the case of a divorced 
     service member who leaves children with both a current and a 
     former spouse.
       (D) Whether the military departments should, in all cases, 
     provide family members of a service member who died as a 
     result of injuries sustained in combat with full and complete 
     details of the death of the service member, regardless of 
     whether such details may be graphic, embarrassing to the 
     family members, or reflect negatively on the military 
     department concerned.
       (E) Whether, and when, the military departments should 
     inform family members of a service member who died as a 
     result of injuries sustained in combat about the possi- 

[[Page 2434]]

     bility that the death may have been the result of friendly 
     fire.
       (F) The criteria and standards which the military 
     departments should use in deciding when disclosure is 
     appropriate to family members of a member of the military 
     forces of an allied nation who died as a result of injuries 
     sustained in combat when the death may have been the result 
     of fire from United States armed forces and an investigation 
     into the cause or circumstances of the death has been 
     conducted.
       (2) Report.--The Secretary of Defense shall submit to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of 
     Representatives a report on the review conducted under 
     paragraph (1). Such report shall be submitted not later than 
     March 31, 1993, and shall include recommendations on the 
     matters examined in the review and on any other matters the 
     Secretary determines to be appropriate based upon the review 
     or on any other reviews undertaken by the Department of 
     Defense.
       (c) Definitions.--In this section:
       (1) The term ``fatality reports'' includes investigative 
     reports and any other reports pertaining to the cause or 
     circumstances of death of a member of the Armed Forces in the 
     line of duty (such as autopsy reports, battlefield reports, 
     and medical reports).
       (2) The term ``family members'' means parents, spouses, 
     adult children, and such other relatives as the Secretary 
     concerned considers appropriate.
       (d) Applicability.--(1) Except as provided in paragraph 
     (2), this section applies with respect to deaths of members 
     of the Armed Forces occurring after the date of the enactment 
     of this Act.
       (2) With respect to deaths of members of the Armed Forces 
     occurring before the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
     Secretary concerned shall provide fatality reports to family

     SEC. 1081. CIVIL-MILITARY COOPERATIVE ACTION PROGRAM.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Many of the skills, capabilities, and resources that 
     the Armed Forces have developed to meet military requirements 
     can assist in meeting the civilian domestic needs of the 
     United States.
       (2) Members of the Armed Forces have the training, 
     education, and experience to serve as role models for United 
     States youth.
       (3) As a result of the reductions in the Armed Forces 
     resulting from the ending of the Cold War, the Armed Forces 
     will have fewer overseas deployments and lower operating 
     tempos, and there will be a much greater opportunity than in 
     the past for the Armed Forces to assist civilian efforts to 
     address critical domestic problems.
       (4) The United States has significant domestic needs in 
     areas such as health care, nutrition, education, housing, and 
     infrastructure that cannot be met by current and anticipated 
     governmental and private sector programs.
       (5) There are significant opportunities for the resources 
     of the Armed Forces, which are maintained for national 
     security purposes, to be applied in cooperative efforts with 
     civilian officials to address these vital domestic needs.
       (6) Civil-military cooperative efforts can be undertaken in 
     a manner that is consistent with the military mission and 
     does not compete with the private sector.
       (b) Establishment of Civil-Military Cooperative Action 
     Program.--Chapter 20 of title 10, United States Code, is 
     amended--
       (1) by adding at the end the following new subchapter:

     SEC. 1082. LIMITATION ON SUPPORT FOR UNITED STATES 
                   CONTRACTORS SELLING ARMS OVERSEAS.

       (a) Support for Contractors.--In the event that a United 
     States defense contractor or industrial association requests 
     the Department of Defense or a military department to provide 
     support in the form of military equipment for any airshow or 
     trade exhibition to be held outside the United States, such 
     equipment may not be supplied unless the contractor or 
     association agrees to reimburse the Treasury of the United 
     States for--
       (1) all incremental costs of military personnel 
     accompanying the equipment, including food, lodging, and 
     local transportation;
       (2) all incremental transportation costs incurred in moving 
     such equipment from its normally assigned location to the 
     airshow or trade exhibition and return; and
       (3) any other miscellaneous incremental costs not included 
     under paragraphs (1) and (2) that are incurred by the Federal 
     Government but would not have been incurred had military 
     support not been provided to the contractor or industrial 
     association.
       (b) Department of Defense Exhibitions.--(1) A military 
     department may not participate directly in any airshow or 
     trade exhibition held outside the United States unless the 
     Secretary of Defense--
       (A) determines that it is in the national security 
     interests of the United States for the military department to 
     do so; and
       (B) provides to the congressional defense committees at 
     least 45 days before the opening of the airshow or trade 
     exhibition a report detailing--
       (i) why the show or exhibition is in the national security 
     interest;

[[Page 2436]]

       (ii) a description of the implications that promoting the 
     sale of the weapons in question will have on arms control; 
     and
       (iii) an estimate of any costs to be incurred.
       (2) The Secretary of Defense may not delegate the authority 
     to make the determination referred to in paragraph (1)(A) 
     below the level of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy.
       (c) Definition.--In this section, the term ``incremental 
     transportation cost'' includes the cost of transporting 
     equipment to an airshow or trade exhibition only to the 
     extent that the provision of transportation by the Department

     legitimate training requirements that would otherwise have to 
     be met.

     SEC. 1083. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE TIME LIMITATIONS 
                   FOR CONSIDERATION OF MILITARY DECORATIONS AND 
                   AWARDS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Former members of the Armed Forces, military units, and 
     veteran organizations throughout the United States will be 
     celebrating the 50th anniversary of World War II at reunions 
     and other events through 1995.
       (2) A number of individuals who served in the Armed Forces 
     during World War II, and groups of former members of the 
     Armed Forces who served together in units during World War II 
     have expressed interest in individual and unit decorations 
     and awards involving their World War II service that were 
     never presented.
       (3) In some cases, the Secretaries of the military 
     departments have declined to consider individual and unit 
     decorations and awards involving World War II service that 
     were established by administrative action solely because of 
     time limitations established administratively on the 
     submission of recommendations for the decorations and awards.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the Secretaries of the military departments should consider a 
     recommendation for a decoration or award for World War II 
     service without regard to time limitations on the 
     consideration of the recommendation if the recommendation--
       (1) is submitted before December 31, 1995;
       (2) involves a decoration or award that is not established 
     by Act of Congress; and
       (3) presents new information or evidence that the original 
     recommendation was not submitted or was mishandled due to 
     administrative error.

     SEC. 1084. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO AWARD OF THE NAVY 
                   EXPEDITIONARY MEDAL TO DOOLITTLE RAIDERS.

       It is the sense of Congress that the President should award 
     the Navy Expeditionary Medal to members of the Navy who 
     served in Navy Task Force 16, culminating in the air-raid 
     commonly known as the ``Doolittle Raid on Tokyo'', during 
     April 1942, regardless of the time limitations on the 
     consideration of such awards.

     SEC. 1085. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE AWARD OF THE 
                   PURPLE HEART TO MEMBERS KILLED OR WOUNDED IN 
                   ACTION BY FRIENDLY FIRE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Purple Heart should be awarded to members of the 
     Armed Forces killed or wounded by friendly fire while 
     actively engaged with the enemy.
       (2) Historically, the military services have responded with 
     tentativeness and reluctance when considering the award of 
     the Purple Heart to members of the Armed Forces killed or 
     wounded by friendly fire while actively engaged with the 
     enemy, including engagements during the Persian Gulf War.
       (3) The Congress recognizes that the Secretaries of the 
     military departments contend that, as a matter of policy, the 
     Purple Heart has been awarded as described in paragraph (1), 
     including during the Persian Gulf War.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress--
       (1) that the Secretaries of the military departments should 
     ensure that in the future the Purple Heart is awarded without 
     hesitation to members of the Armed Forces killed or wounded 
     by friendly fire while actively engaged with the enemy; and
       (2) that the Secretaries of the military departments should 
     award the Purple Heart in each case of a member of the Armed 
     Forces killed or wounded on or after December 7, 1941, by 
     friendly fire while actively engaged with the enemy which is 
     known to the Secretary or for which an application is made to 
     the Secretary in such a manner as the Secretary requires.

                   EMPLOYED OR OWNERS OF SMALL BUSINESSES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:

       (2) The Reserves and the members of the National Guard

     ordered to active duty in connection with Operations Desert

     businesses for such active duty service.

     after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of 
     Defense shall--

     effects on the Reserves and members of the National Guard 
     referred to in subsection (a)(3) resulting from their absence 
     from their businesses for active duty service in connection 
     with Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm; and
       (2) submit a report on the results of the study to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives.
       (c) Content of Report.--The report shall include the 
     following matters:

     and Community Service Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12510 et seq.) 
     is amended by adding at the end the following new subtitle:
                 ``Subtitle H--Civilian Community Corps

     ``SEC. 195. PURPOSE.

       ``It is the purpose of this subtitle to authorize the 
     establishment of a Civilian Community Corps to provide a 
     basis for determining--
       ``(1) whether residential service programs administered by 
     the Federal Government can significantly increase the support 
     for national service and community service by the people of 
     the United States;
       ``(2) whether such programs can expand the opportunities 
     for willing young men and women to perform meaningful, 
     direct, and consequential acts of community service in a 
     manner that will enhance their own skills while contributing 
     to their understanding of civic responsibility in the United 
     States;
       ``(3) whether retired members and former members of the 
     Armed Forces of the United States, members and former members 
     of the Armed Forces discharged or released from active duty 
     in connection with reduced Department of Defense spending, 
     members and former members of the Armed Forces discharged or 
     transferred from the Selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve in 
     connection with reduced Department of Defense spending, and 
     other members of the Armed Forces not on active duty and not 
     actively participating in a reserve component of the Armed 
     Forces can provide guidance and training under such programs 
     that contribute meaningfully to the encouragement of national 
     and community service; and
       ``(4) whether domestic national service programs can serve 
     as a substitute for the traditional option of military 
     service in the Armed Forces of the United States which, in 
     times of reductions in the size of the Armed Forces, is a 
     diminishing national service opportunity for young Americans.

     National Guard Civilian Youth Opportunities Program 
     authorized by section 1091 and with the Civilian Community

     military personnel;
       (C) programs that involve military personnel participating

     based youth service corps can engender in young men and women 
     a commitment to civic responsibility and involvement in their 
     communities;
       (E) programs that test whether such non-residential corps 
     permit young people who have received military-based training 
     to use their skills and knowledge to improve their 
     communities; and
       (F) programs that test whether retired, discharged, or 
     inactive members and former members of the Armed Forces can

     shortfalls of a unit that require the provision of additional 
     resources. In making such modifications, the Secretary shall 
     ensure that the unit readiness rating system is designed so--
       (1) that the personnel readiness rating of a unit 
     reflects--
       (A) both the percentage of the overall personnel 
     requirement of the unit that is manned and deployable and the 
     fill and deployability rate for critical occupational 
     specialties necessary for the unit to carry out its basic 
     mission requirements; and
       (B) the number of personnel in the unit who are qualified 
     in their primary military occupational specialty; and
       (2) that the equipment readiness assessment of a unit--
       (A) documents all equipment required for deployment;
       (B) reflects only that equipment that is directly possessed 
     by the unit;
       (C) specifies the effect of substitute items; and

                       Subtitle A--Burdensharing

     SEC. 1301. OVERSEAS BASING ACTIVITIES.

       (a) Funding Reductions.--(1)(A) The total amount 
     appropriated to the Department of Defense for operation and 
     maintenance and for military construction (including NATO 
     Infrastructure) that is obligated to conduct overseas basing 
     activities during fiscal year 1993 may not exceed the amount 
     equal to the baseline for fiscal year 1993 reduced by 
     $500,000,000.
       (B) For purposes of subparagraph (A), the baseline for 
     fiscal year 1993 is the sum of the amounts of the overseas 
     funding estimates specified for such year for Operation and 
     Maintenance; Family Housing, Operations; Family Housing, 
     Construction; and Military Construction (including NATO 
     Infrastructure) set forth on page 8 of the report of the 
     Department of Defense dated January 1992, and entitled 
     ``Amended FY 1992/FY 1993 Biennial Budget Estimates for 
     Defense Overseas Funding and Dependent Overseas Funding''.
       (2) It is the sense of Congress that the amounts obligated 
     to conduct overseas basing activities should decline 
     significantly in fiscal years 1994, 1995, and 1996 as--
       (A) the number of United States military personnel 
     stationed overseas is reduced in conformance with the 
     provisions of section 1302 and the amendment made by section 
     1303; and
       (B) the countries to which subsection (e)(1) and (e)(2) 
     apply assume an increased share of the costs of United States 
     military installations in those countries.
       (b) Definition.--In this section, the term ``overseas 
     basing activities'' means the activities of the Department of 
     Defense for which funds are provided through appropriations 
     for operation and maintenance, including appropriations for 
     family housing operations, and for military construction 
     (including family housing construction and NATO 
     Infrastructure) for the payment of costs for Department of 
     Defense overseas military units and the costs for all 
     dependents who accompany Department of Defense personnel 
     outside the United States.
       (c) Offsets.--Reductions for purposes of subsection (a) in 
     obligations of appropriated funds for overseas basing 
     activities may be offset by either or a combination of the 
     following:
       (1) Increase in the level of host-nation support due to 
     agreements reached under subsection (e) or otherwise.
       (2) Accelerated withdrawal of United States forces or 
     equipment under the provisions of section 1302 and the 
     amendment made by section 1303.
       (d) Allocations of Savings.--The savings realized as a 
     result of the reductions for purposes of subsection (a) will 
     be allocated for operation and maintenance and military 
     construction activities of the Department of Defense at 
     military installations and facilities located inside the 
     United States.
       (e) Defense Burdensharing Agreements for Increased Host 
     Nation Support.--(1) In order to achieve additional savings 
     in fiscal year 1994 and in future fiscal years, the President 
     should enter into a revised host-nation agreement with each 
     foreign country described in paragraph (3)(A).
       (2) For purposes of paragraph (1), a revised host-nation 
     agreement is an agreement under which such foreign country, 
     on or before September 30, 1994--
       (A) assumes an increased share of the costs of United 
     States military installations in that country, including the 
     costs of--
       (i) labor, utilities, and services;
       (ii) military construction projects and real property 
     maintenance;
       (iii) leasing requirements associated with United States 
     military presence; and
       (iv) actions necessary to meet local environmental 
     standards;
       (B) relieves the Armed Forces of the United States of all 
     tax liability that, with respect to forces located in such 
     country, is incurred by the Armed Forces under the laws of 
     that country and the laws of the community where those forces 
     are located; and
       (C) ensures that goods and services furnished in that 
     country to the Armed Forces of the United States are provided 
     at minimum cost and without imposition of user fees.

[[Page 2444]]

       (3)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), paragraph 
     (1) applies with respect to--
       (i) each country of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     (other than the United States); and
       (ii) each other foreign country with which the United 
     States has a bilateral or multilateral defense agreement that 
     provides for the assignment of combat units of the Armed 
     Forces of the United States to permanent duty in that country 
     or the placement of combat equipment of the United States in 
     that country.
       (B) Paragraph (1) does not apply with respect to--
       (i) a foreign country that receives assistance under 
     section 23 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2673) 
     (relating to the foreign military financing program) or under 
     the provisions of chapter 4 of part II of the Foreign

     SEC. 1314. REPORT ON POSSIBLE REVISIONS TO THE NORTH ATLANTIC 
                   TREATY.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) when the North Atlantic Treaty was signed in 1949, the 
     clear military threat to the security of Western Europe was 
     the Soviet Union and its allies in Eastern Europe;
       (2) since 1949 it has been clearly understood by the people 
     of the Western World that the primary mission of NATO was to 
     deter an attack from the Soviet Bloc;
       (3) the dramatic changes in Europe since the fall of the 
     Berlin Wall in 1989, and the subsequent dissolution of the 
     Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union have fundamentally changed 
     the security situation in Europe;
       (4) one of the consequences of the breakdown of 40 years of 
     Communist rule in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union 
     has been ethnic conflict throughout the region, particularly 
     in the Balkans and the Republics of the Former Soviet Union;
       (5) those fundamental changes in the security threats 
     facing NATO member nations have caused confusion concerning 
     the mission of NATO in the post-cold war world and the role 
     of NATO military forces outside of the NATO Theater, 
     particularly in the former Soviet Union;
       (6) if NATO is to continue to be relevant to the security 
     interests of Western Europe and North America through the 
     1990's and beyond, the alliance's mission must be recrafted 
     in order to enable it to address common transatlantic 
     security concerns, includ- 

[[Page 2445]]

     ing those beyond NATO's geographic boundaries; and
       (7) a fundamental review of the North Atlantic Treaty is 
     necessary, in light of the new security situation in Europe.
       (b) Report.--Not later than April 1, 1993, the President 
     shall submit to Congress a report on the North Atlantic 
     Treaty of 1949. The report shall include--
       (1) a detailed analysis of the forseeable threats to the 
     security of NATO member nations;
       (2) a determination whether the North Atlantic Treaty of 
     1949 should be revised to meet the future challenges to peace 
     and security; and
       (3) the extent to which the NATO charter permits the use of 
     NATO forces for peacekeeping purposes, given the steadily 
     increased use of military forces for such purposes, and the 
     range of missions that should be considered for such 
     peacekeeping to protect the interests of member nations

  Subtitle C--Matters Relating to the Former Soviet Union and Eastern 
                                 Europe

     SEC. 1321. NUCLEAR WEAPONS REDUCTION.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On February 1, 1992, the President of the United States 
     and the President of the Russian Federation agreed in a Joint 
     Statement that ``Russia and the United States do not regard 
     each other as potential adversaries'' and stated further 
     that, ``We will work to remove any remnants of cold war 
     hostility, including taking steps to reduce our strategic 
     arsenals''.
       (2) In the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear 
     Weapons, in exchange for the non-nuclear-weapon states 
     agreeing not to seek a nuclear weapons capability nor to 
     assist other non-nuclear-weapon states in doing so, the 
     United States agreed to seek the complete elimination of all 
     nuclear weapons worldwide, as declared in the preamble to the 
     Treaty, which states that it is a goal of the parties to the 
     Treaty to ``facilitate the cessation of the manufacture of 
     nuclear weapons, the liquidation of all their existing 
     stockpiles, and the elimination from national arsenals of 
     nuclear weapons and the means of their delivery'' as well as 
     in Article VI of the Treaty, which states that ``each of the 
     parties to the Treaty undertakes to pursue negotiations in 
     good faith on effective measures relating to the cessation of 
     the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear 
     disarmament''.
       (3) Carrying out a policy of seeking further significant 
     and continuous reductions in the nuclear arsenals of all 
     countries, besides reducing the likelihood of the 
     proliferation of nuclear weapons and increasing the 
     likelihood of a successful extension and possible 
     strengthening of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of 
     Nuclear Weapons in 1995, when the Treaty is scheduled for 
     review and possible extension, has additional benefits to the 
     national security of the United States, including--
       (A) a reduced risk of accidental enablement and launch of a 
     nuclear weapon, and
       (B) a defense cost savings which could be reallocated for 
     deficit reduction or other important national needs.
       (4) The Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START) Treaty and 
     the agreement by the President of the United States and the 
     President of the Russian Federation on June 17, 1992, to 
     reduce the strategic nuclear arsenals of each country to a 
     level between 3,000 and 3,500 weapons are commendable 
     intermediate stages in the process of achieving the policy 
     goals described in paragraphs (1) and (2).
       (5) The current international era of cooperation provides 
     greater opportunities for achieving worldwide reduction and 
     control of nuclear weapons and material than any time since 
     the emergence of nuclear weapons 50 years ago.
       (6) It is in the security interests of both the United 
     States and the world community for the President and the 
     Congress to begin the process of reducing the number of 
     nuclear weapons in every country through multilateral 
     agreements and other appropriate means.
       (7) In a 1991 study, a committee of the National Academy of 
     Sciences concluded that: ``The appropriate new levels of 
     nuclear weapons cannot be specified at this time, but it 
     seems reasonable to the committee that U.S. strategic forces 
     could in time be reduced to 1,000-2,000 nuclear warheads, 
     provided that such a multilateral agreement included 
     appropriate levels and verification measures for the other 
     nations that possess nuclear weapons. This step would require 
     successful implementation of our proposed post-START U.S.-
     Soviet reductions, related confidence-building measures in 
     all the countries involved, and multilateral security 
     cooperation in areas such as conventional force deployments 
     and planning.''.
       (b) United States Policy.--It shall be the goal of the 
     United States--
       (1) to encourage and facilitate the denuclearization of 
     Ukraine, Byelarus, and Kazakhstan, as agreed upon in the 
     Lisbon ministerial meeting of May 23, 1992;
       (2) to rapidly complete and submit for ratification by the 
     United States the treaty incorporating the agreement of June 
     17, 1992, between the United States and the Russian 
     Federation to reduce the number of strategic nuclear weapons 
     in each country's arsenal to a level between 3,000 and 3,500;
       (3) to facilitate the ability of the Russian Federation, 
     Ukraine, Byelarus, and Kazakhstan to implement agreed mutual 
     reductions under the START Treaty, and under the Joint 
     Understanding of June 16-17, 1992 between the United States 
     and the Russian Federation, on an accelerated timetable, so 
     that all such reductions can be completed by the year 2000;
       (4) to build on the agreement reached in the Joint 
     Understanding of June 16-17, 1992, by entering into 
     multilateral negotiations with the Russian Federation, the 
     United Kingdom, France, and the People's Republic of China, 
     and, at an appropriate point in that process, enter into 
     negotiations with other nuclear armed states in order to 
     reach subsequent stage-by-stage agreements to achieve further 
     reductions in the number of nuclear weapons in all countries;
       (5) to continue and extend cooperative discussions with the 
     appropriate authorities of the former Soviet military on 
     means to maintain and improve secure command and control over 
     nuclear forces;
       (6) in consultation with other member countries of the 
     North Atlantic Treaty Organization and other allies, to 
     initiate discussions to bring tactical nuclear weapons into 
     the arms control process; and
       (7) to ensure that the United States assistance to securely 
     transport and store, and ultimately dismantle, former Soviet 
     nuclear weapons and missiles for such weapons is being 
     properly and effectively utilized.
       (c) Annual Report.--By February 1 of each year, the 
     President shall submit to the Congress a report on--
       (1) the actions that the United States has taken, and the 
     actions the United States plans to take during the next 12 
     months, to achieve each of the goals set forth in paragraphs 
     (1) through (6) of subsection (b); and
       (2) the actions that have been taken by the Russian 
     Federation, by other former Soviet republics, and by other 
     countries to achieve those goals.
     Each such report shall be submitted in unclassified form, 
     with a classified appendix if necessary.

       (a) Report Requested.--Not later than the date on which the 
     President submits to Congress the budget for fiscal year 1994 
     under

[[Page 2447]]

     section 1105 of title 31, United States Code, the President 
     shall transmit to Congress a report on the proposals of the 
     Secretary General of the United Nations contained in his 
     report to the Security Council entitled ``Preventive 
     Diplomacy, Peacemaking and Peacekeeping'', dated June 19, 
     1992.
       (b) Content of President's Report.--The President's report 
     shall contain a comprehensive analysis and discussion of the 
     proposals of the Secretary General, including, in particular, 
     the following:
       (1) The proposal that contributions for peacekeeping and 
     related enforcement activities be funded out of the National 
     Defense function of the budget rather than the 
     ``Contributions to International Peacekeeping Activities'' 
     account of the Department of State.
       (2) The assignment of responsibilities within the Executive 
     branch if such contributions are funded, in whole or in part, 
     out of the National Defense function.
       (3) The proposal that the United States and other member 
     states of the United Nations negotiate special agreements 
     under Article 43 of the United Nations Charter to provide for 
     those states to make armed forces, assistance, and facilities 
     available to the Security Council of the United Nations for 
     the purposes stated in Article 42 of that Charter, not only 
     on an ad hoc basis but on a permanent on-call basis for rapid 
     deployment under Security Council authorization.
       (4) The proposal that member states of the United Nations 
     commit to keep equipment specified by the Secretary General 
     available for immediate sale, loan, or donation to the United 
     Nations when required.
       (5) The proposal that member states of the United Nations 
     make airlift and sealift capacity available to the United 
     Nations free of cost or at lower than commercial rates.
       (6) Such other information as may be necessary to inform 
     Congress on matters relating to the Secretary General's 
     proposals.

     SEC. 1342. SUPPORT FOR PEACEKEEPING ACTIVITIES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) International peacekeeping activities contribute to the 
     national interests of the United States in maintaining global 
     stability and order.
       (2) International peacekeeping activities take many forms 
     and include observer missions, ceasefire monitoring, human 
     rights monitoring, refugee and humanitarian assistance, 
     monitoring and conducting elections, monitoring of police in 
     the demobilization of former combatants, and reforming 
     judicial and other civil and administrative systems of 
     government.
       (3) International peacekeeping activities traditionally 
     involve the presence of military troops, police forces, and, 
     in recent years, civilian experts in transportation, 
     logistics, medicine, electoral systems, human rights, land 
     tenure, other economic and social issues, and other areas of 
     expertise.
       (4) International peacekeeping activities serve both the 
     foreign policy interests and defense policy interests of the 
     United States.
       (5) The normal budget process of authorizing and 
     appropriating funds a year in advance and reprogramming such 
     funds is insufficient to satisfy the need for funds for 
     peacekeeping efforts arising from an unanticipated crisis.
       (6) Greater flexibility is needed to ensure the timely 
     availability of funding to provide for peacekeeping 
     activities.
       (b) Authorized Support for Fiscal Year 1993.--(1) Subject 
     to paragraph (2), the Secretary may provide assistance for 
     international peacekeeping activities during fiscal year 1993 
     in an amount not to exceed $300,000,000 in accordance with 
     section 403 of title 10, United States Code, as added by 
     subsection (c). Notwithstanding subsection (b) of that 
     section, the assistance so provided may be derived from funds 
     appropriated to the Department of Defense for fiscal year 
     1993 for operation and maintenance or from balances in 
     working capital accounts.
       (2) No amount may be obligated pursuant to paragraph (1) 
     unless the expenditure of such amount has been determined by 
     the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to be 
     counted against the defense category of the discretionary 
     spending limits for fiscal year 1993 (as defined in section 
     601(a)(2) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974) for 
     purposes of part C of the Balanced Budget and Emergency

     Congress to appropriate for the Department of State for such 
     fiscal year for international peacekeeping activities.
       ``(d) Consultation.--The Secretary of Defense shall consult 
     with the Secretary of State before furnishing any assistance

     authorization Act' means an Act that authorizes 
     appropriations for one or more fiscal years for military 
     activities of the Department of Defense, including the 
     activities described in paragraph (7) of section 114(a) of 
     this title.
       ``(h) Termination.--The authority of the Secretary of

     unilateral or multilateral basis in such mine clearing 
     operations.
       (3) The report shall be submitted to the Congress not later 
     than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act.

     SEC. 1365. LANDMINE EXPORT MORATORIUM.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Anti-personnel landmines, which are specifically 
     designed to maim and kill people, have been used 
     indiscriminately in dramatically increasing numbers, 
     primarily in insurgencies in poor developing countries. 
     Noncombatant civilians, including tens of thousands of 
     children, have been the primary victims.
       (2) Unlike other military weapons, landmines often remain 
     implanted and undiscovered after conflict has ended, causing 
     untold suffering to civilian populations. In Afghanistan, 
     Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and Angola, tens of millions of 
     unexploded landmines have rendered whole areas uninhabitable. 
     In Afghanistan, an estimated hundreds of thousands of people 
     have been maimed and killed by landmines during the 14-year 
     civil war. In Cambodia, more than 20,000 civilians have lost 
     limbs and another 60 are being maimed each month from 
     landmines.
       (3) Over 35 countries are known to manufacture landmines, 
     including the United States. However, the United States is 
     not a major exporter of landmines. During the past ten years 
     the Department of State has approved ten licenses for the 
     commercial export of anti-personnel landmines valued at 
     $980,000, and during the past five years the Department of 
     Defense has approved the sale of 13,156 anti-personnel 
     landmines valued at $841,145.
       (4) The United States signed, but has not ratified, the 
     1981 Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of 
     Certain Conventional Weapons Which May Be Deemed To Be 
     Excessively Injurious or To Have Indiscriminate Effects. The 
     Convention prohibits the indiscriminate use of landmines.
       (5) When it signed the Convention, the United States 
     stated: ``We believe that the Convention represents a 
     positive step forward in efforts to minimize injury or damage 
     to the civilian population in time of armed conflict. Our 
     signature of the Convention reflects the general willingness 
     of the United States to adopt practical and reasonable 
     provisions concerning the conduct of military operations, for 
     the purpose of protecting noncombatants.''.
       (6) The President should submit the convention to the 
     Senate for its advice and consent to ratification, and the 
     President should actively negotiate under United Nations 
     auspices or other auspices an international agreement, or a 
     modification of the Convention, to prohibit the sale, 
     transfer or export of anti-personnel landmines. Such an 
     agreement or modification would be an appropriate response to 
     the end of the Cold War and the promotion of arms control 
     agreements to reduce the indiscriminate killing and maiming 
     of civilians.
       (7) The United States should set an example for other 
     countries in such negotiations, by implementing a one-year 
     moratorium on the sale, transfer or export of anti-personnel 
     landmines.
       (c) Statement of Policy.--(1) It shall be the policy of the 
     United States to seek verifiable international agreements 
     prohibiting the sale, transfer, or export, and further 
     limiting the use, production, possession, and deployment of 
     anti-personnel landmines.
       (2) It is the sense of the Congress that the President 
     should actively seek to negotiate under United Nations 
     auspices or other auspices an international agreement, or a 
     modification of the Convention, to prohibit the sale, 
     transfer, or export of anti-personnel landmines.
       (d) Moratorium on Transfers of Anti-Personnel Landmines 
     Abroad.--For a period of one year beginning on the date of 
     the enactment of this Act--
       (1) no sale may be made or financed, no transfer may be 
     made, and no license for export may be issued, under the Arms 
     Export Control Act, with respect to any anti-personnel 
     landmine; and
       (2) no assistance may be provided under the Foreign 
     Assistance Act of 1961, with respect to the provision of any 
     anti-personnel landmine.
       (e) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term 
     ``anti-personnel landmine'' means--
       (1) any munition placed under, on, or near the ground or 
     other surface area, or delivered by artillery, rocket, 
     mortar, or similar means or dropped from an aircraft and 
     which is designed to be detonated or exploded by the 
     presence, proximity, or contact of a person;
       (2) any device or material which is designed, constructed, 
     or adapted to kill or injure and which functions unexpectedly 
     when a person disturbs or approaches an apparently harmless 
     object or performs an apparently safe act;
       (3) any manually-emplaced munition or device designed to 
     kill, injure, or damage and

[[Page 2449]]

     which is actuated by remote control or automatically after a 
     lapse of time.

     SEC. 1501. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Weapons of Mass 
     Destruction Control Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 1502. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       It is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) the proliferation (A) of nuclear, biological, and 
     chemical weapons (hereinafter in this title referred to as 
     ``weapons of mass destruction'') and related technology and 
     knowledge and (B) of missile delivery systems remains one of 
     the most serious threats to international peace and the 
     national security of the United States in the post-cold war 
     era;
       (2) the proliferation of nuclear weapons, given the 
     extraordinary lethality of those weapons, is of particularly 
     serious concern;
       (3) the nonproliferation policy of the United States should 
     continue to seek to limit both the supply of and demand for 
     weapons of mass destruction and to reduce the existing threat 
     from proliferation of such weapons;
       (4) substantial funding of nonproliferation activities by 
     the United States is essential to controlling the 
     proliferation of all weapons of mass destruction, especially 
     nuclear weapons and missile delivery systems;
       (5) the President's nonproliferation policy statement of 
     June 1992, and his September 10, 1992, initiative to increase 
     funding for nonproliferation activities in the Department of 
     Energy are praiseworthy;
       (6) the Congress is committed to cooperating with the 
     President in carrying out an effective policy designed to 
     control the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction;
       (7) the President should identify a full range of 
     appropriate, high priority nonproliferation activities that 
     can be undertaken by the United States and should include 
     requests for full funding for those activities in the budget 
     submission for fiscal year 1994;
       (8) the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy 
     have unique expertise that can further enhance the 
     effectiveness of international nonproliferation activities;
       (9) under the guidance of the President, the Secretary of 
     Defense and the Secretary of Energy should continue to 
     actively assist in United States nonproliferation activities 
     and in formulating and executing United States 
     nonproliferation policy, emphasizing activities such as 
     improved capabilities (A) to detect and monitor 
     proliferation, (B) to respond to terrorism, theft, and 
     accidents involving weapons of mass destruction, and (C) to 
     assist with interdiction and destruction of weapons of mass 
     destruction and related weapons material; and
       (10) in a manner consistent with United States 
     nonproliferation policy, the Department of Defense and the 
     Department of Energy should continue to maintain and to 
     improve their capabilities to identify, monitor, and respond 
     to proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and missile 
     delivery systems.

                TITLE XVII--CUBAN DEMOCRACY ACT OF 1992

     SEC. 1701. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Cuban Democracy Act of 
     1992''.

     SEC. 1702. FINDINGS.

       The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The government of Fidel Castro has demonstrated 
     consistent disregard for internationally accepted standards 
     of human rights and for democratic values. It restricts the 
     Cuban people's exercise of freedom of speech, press, 
     assembly, and other rights recognized by the Universal 
     Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the General Assembly 
     of the United Nations on December 10, 1948. It has refused to 
     admit into Cuba the representative of the United Nations 
     Human Rights Commission appointed to investigate human rights 
     violations on the island.
       (2) The Cuban people have demonstrated their yearning for 
     freedom and their increasing opposition to the Castro 
     government by risking their lives in organizing independent, 
     democratic activities on the island and by undertaking 
     hazardous flights for freedom to the United States and other 
     countries.
       (3) The Castro government maintains a military-dominated 
     economy that has decreased the well-being of the Cuban people 
     in order to enable the government to engage in military 
     interventions and subversive activities throughout the world 
     and, especially, in the Western Hemisphere. These have 
     included involvement in narcotics trafficking and support for 
     the FMLN guerrillas in El Salvador.
       (4) There is no sign that the Castro regime is prepared to 
     make any significant concessions to democracy or to undertake 
     any form of democratic opening. Efforts to suppress dissent 
     through intimidation, imprisonment, and exile have 
     accelerated since the political changes that have occurred in 
     the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
       (5) Events in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe 
     have dramatically reduced Cuba's external support and 
     threaten Cuba's food and oil supplies.
       (6) The fall of communism in the former Soviet Union and 
     Eastern Europe, the now universal recognition in Latin 
     America and the Caribbean that Cuba provides a failed model 
     of government and development, and the evident inability of 
     Cuba's economy to survive current trends, provide the United 
     States and the international democratic community with an 
     unprecedented opportunity to promote a peaceful transition to 
     democracy in Cuba.
       (7) However, Castro's intransigence increases the 
     likelihood that there could be a collapse of the Cuban 
     economy, social upheaval, or widespread suffering. The 
     recently concluded Cuban Communist Party Congress has 
     underscored Castro's unwillingness to respond positively to 
     increasing pressures for reform either from within the party 
     or without.
       (8) The United States cooperated with its European and 
     other allies to assist the difficult transitions from 
     Communist regimes in Eastern Europe. Therefore, it is 
     appropriate for those allies to cooperate with United States 
     policy to promote a peaceful transition in Cuba.

     SEC. 1703. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

       It should be the policy of the United States--
       (1) to seek a peaceful transition to democracy and a 
     resumption of economic growth in Cuba through the careful 
     application of sanctions directed at the Castro government 
     and support for the Cuban people;
       (2) to seek the cooperation of other democratic countries 
     in this policy;
       (3) to make clear to other countries that, in determining 
     its relations with them, the United States will take into 
     account their willingness to cooperate in such a policy;
       (4) to seek the speedy termination of any remaining 
     military or technical assistance, subsidies, or other forms 
     of assistance to the Government of Cuba from any of the 
     independent states of the former Soviet Union;
       (5) to continue vigorously to oppose the human rights 
     violations of the Castro regime;
       (6) to maintain sanctions on the Castro regime so long as 
     it continues to refuse to move toward democratization and 
     greater respect for human rights;
       (7) to be prepared to reduce the sanctions in carefully 
     calibrated ways in response to positive developments in Cuba;
       (8) to encourage free and fair elections to determine 
     Cuba's political future;
       (9) to request the speedy termination of any military or 
     technical assistance, subsidies, or other forms of assistance 
     to the Government of Cuba from the government of any other 
     country; and
       (10) to initiate immediately the development of a 
     comprehensive United States policy toward Cuba in a post-
     Castro era.

     SEC. 1704. INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION.

       (a) Cuban Trading Partners.--The President should encourage

       (2) Definition of assistance.--For purposes of paragraph 
     (1), the term ``assistance to Cuba''--

     Government of Cuba that is provided by grant, concessional 
     sale, guaranty, or insurance, or by any other means on terms 
     more favorable than that generally available in the 
     applicable market, whether in the form of a loan, lease, 
     credit, or otherwise, and such term includes subsidies for 
     exports to Cuba and favorable tariff treatment of articles 
     that are the growth, product, or manufacture of Cuba; and
       (B) does not include--
       (i) donations of food to nongovernmental organizations or 
     individuals in Cuba, or
       (ii) exports of medicines or medical supplies, instruments, 
     or equipment that would be permitted under section 1705(c).
       (3) Applicability of section.--This section, and any 
     sanctions imposed pursuant to this section, shall cease to 
     apply at such time as the President makes and reports to the 
     Congress a determination under section 1708(a).

     SEC. 3201. AUTHORIZATION FOR DEFENSE NUCLEAR SAFETY BOARD.

       There are authorized to be appropriated for fiscal year 
     1993, $13,000,000 for the operation of the Defense Nuclear 
     Facilities Safety Board under chapter 21 of the Atomic Energy 
     Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2286 et seq.).

     SEC. 3202. NUCLEAR SAFETY IN EASTERN EUROPE AND THE FORMER 
                   SOVIET UNION.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident on April 26, 
     1986, has resulted in $283 to $352 billion worth of damage, 
     with more than 4,000,000 people still living on land 
     contaminated with radiation;
       (2) there are 16 Chernobyl-type RBMK reactors now operating 
     in Russia, Ukraine, and Lithuania, all of which have faulty 
     designs, poor construction, and dangerously lax and outdated 
     operating procedures;
       (3) there are dozens of Soviet-designed reactors now 
     operating in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union with 
     poor construction and lax and outdated operating procedures;
       (4) a serious nuclear reactor accident in one of the newly 
     freed states of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union 
     would seriously exacerbate these states' difficult progress 
     towards economic recovery and could lead to political 
     instability;
       (5) retrofitting the RBMK reactors with modern Western 
     safety equipment will result in only marginal safety 
     improvements at great expense; and
       (6) alternative power sources, such as natural gas 
     turbines, and modern energy efficiency measures and 
     technologies could displace the need for much of the power 
     which these reactors provide.
       (b) United States Policy.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the President should undertake bilateral and multilateral 
     initiatives, including trade initiatives, to--
       (1) assist in bringing on line enough replacement power and 
     modern energy efficiency measures and technologies in the 
     states of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union so that 
     the RBMK reactors may be shut down as soon as possible and 
     placed in stable condition to prevent radiological 
     contamination;
       (2) assist the states of Eastern Europe and the former 
     Soviet Union in upgrading their other nuclear reactors to 
     Western standards of safety and in ensuring that all of their 
     nuclear reactors receive routine maintenance and repairs;
       (3) encourage and provide technical assistance to Russia 
     and Ukraine to enact domestic legislation governing nuclear 
     reactor safety;
       (4) negotiate formal agreements for nuclear cooperation 
     with Russia and Ukraine;
       (5) identify nuclear safety research as a principal focus 
     of the soon-to-be created nuclear science centers in Ukraine 
     and Russia; and
       (6) make greater resources available to the International 
     Atomic Energy Agency to promote programs of nuclear safety in 
     Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
       (c) Reporting Requirement.--Not later than 60 days after 
     the date of enactment of this Act, the President shall submit 
     to Congress a report with a systematic assessment of the 
     nuclear reactor safety situation in Eastern Europe and the 
     former Soviet Union, with a description of specific bilateral 
     and multilateral initiatives the Administration is taking and 
     plans to take to address these nuclear safety issues.

     warranted, develop a plan setting forth recommendations for 
     such changes, if any, to the Panama Canal Commission for the 
     operation of the Panama Canal during the period before the 
     termination of the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977 as the 
     President determines would facilitate and encourage the 
     operation of the canal through an autonomous entity under the 
     Government of Panama after the transfer of the canal on 
     December 31, 1999, pursuant to the Panama Canal Treaty of 
     1977 and related agreements. The President shall submit the 
     study and, if warranted, plan to Congress, together with a

     operational, and management structure of the Panama Canal 
     Commission and setting forth recommendations for such changes 
     to that structure as the Comptroller General determines 
     would, if implemented, enable the Commission to operate more 
     efficiently and, thereby, serve as a model for the Government 
     of Panama for the operation of the Panama Canal after the 
     transfer of the Panama Canal on December 31, 1999, pursuant 
     to the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977 and related agreements.

DIVISION D--DEFENSE CONVERSION, REINVESTMENT, AND TRANSITION ASSISTANCE

     SEC. 4001. SHORT TITLE.

       This division may be cited as the ``Defense Conversion, 
     Reinvestment, and Transition Assistance Act of 1992''.

                          TITLE XLI--FINDINGS

     SEC. 4101. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and the 
     dissolution of the Soviet Union have fundamentally changed 
     the military threat that formed the basis for the national 
     security policy of the United States since the end of World 
     War II.
       (2) The change in the military threat presents a unique 
     opportunity to restructure and reduce the military 
     requirements of the United States.
       (3) As the United States proceeds with the post-Cold War 
     defense build down, the Nation must recognize and address the 
     impact of reduced defense spending on the military personnel, 
     civilian employees, and defense industry workers who have 
     been the foundation of the national defense policies of the 
     United States.
       (4) The defense build down will have a significant impact 
     on communities as procurements are reduced and military 
     installations are closed and realigned.
       (5) Despite the changes in the military threat, the United 
     States must maintain the capability to respond to regional 
     conflicts that threaten the national interests of the United 
     States, and to reconstitute forces in the event of an 
     extended conflict.
       (6) The skills and capabilities of military personnel, 
     civilian employees of the Department of Defense, defense 
     industry workers, and defense industries represent an 
     invaluable national resource that can contribute to the 
     economic growth of the United States and to the long-term 
     vitality of the national technology and industrial base.
       (7) Prompt and vigorous implementation of defense 
     conversion, and transition assistance programs is essential 
     to ensure that the defense build down is structured in a 
     manner that--
       (A) enhances the long-term ability of the United States to 
     maintain a strong and vibrant national technology and 
     industrial base; and
       (B) promotes economic growth.

     fiscal year 1993 such that increasing the percentage under 
     subparagraph (A) for fiscal years after fiscal year 1996 with

     shall transmit to the Congress and the Secretary of Defense a 
     report setting forth the Comptroller General's assessment, 
     with respect to the Department of Defense of whether there 
     has been a demonstrable reduction in the quality of research 
     performed under funding agreements awarded by the department 
     under the SBIR program since the beginning of fiscal year 
     1993 such that increasing the percentage under subparagraph

     economy would be adversely affected by changes in the use of 
     a national laboratory previously needed for the testing of 
     nuclear weapons;
       (3) one study area covers an area in which the local

     economy would be adversely affected by at least two of the 
     changes referred to in the preceding paragraphs.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The reduction in the size of the United States military

     are suffering economic hardship, may be able to use the 
     excess nonlethal supplies to create jobs for the citizens of 
     the United States and to stimulate national economic growth.
       (b) Reporting Requirement.--Not later than February 15, 
     1993, the Secretary of De-

     to the existing procedures for management of the Department 
     of Defense excess property program for nonlethal supplies

     highway maintenance equipment) in order to provide higher 
     priority for State agencies to receive such excess supplies.

     ``supplies'' has the meaning given such term in section 101

     conversion health policies under subsection (a) at a rate not 
     to exceed the payment required under section 8905a(d)(1)(A) 
     of title 5 for comparable coverage, the Secretary shall 
     provide the coverage required under such a policy through the 
     Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed 
     Services. Subject to paragraph (2), a person receiving 
     coverage under this subsection shall be required to pay into 
     the Military Health Care Account or other appropriate account 
     an amount equal to the sum of--
       ``(A) the individual and Government contributions which 
     would be required in the case of a person enrolled in a 
     health benefits plan contracted for under section 1079 of 
     this title; and

     not to exceed two percent of the amount under subparagraph 
     (A).

     conversion health policy from the Secretary of Defense under 
     paragraph (1) may not exceed the payment required under 
     section 8905a(d)(1)(A) of title 5 for comparable coverage.
       ``(3) In order to reduce premiums required under paragraph 
     (1), the Secretary of Defense may offer a program of coverage 
     that, with respect to mental health services, offers reduced 
     coverage and increased cost-sharing by the purchaser.''.
       (c) Application to Existing Contracts.--In the case of 
     conversion health policies provided under section 1145(b) or 
     1086a(a) of title 10, United States Code, and in effect on 
     the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of 
     Defense shall--
       (1) arrange with the private insurer providing these 
     policies to extend the term of the policies (and coverage of 
     preexisting conditions) as provided by the amendments made by 
     this section; or
       (2) make other arrangements to implement the amendments 
     made by this section with respect to these policies.

       (b) Secretary of Defense Notice Requirement after Date of 
     Enactment of an Act Making Appropriations for Defense.--Not 
     later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of an Act 
     appropriating funds pursuant to an authorization for the 
     Department of Defense or for defense programs in the 
     Department of Energy, the Secretary of Defense shall--
       (1) determine which defense programs are likely to be 
     terminated or substantially reduced under such Act; and

     contractor shall provide notice of such termination or 
     substantial reduction to--
       (1)(A) each representative of employees whose work is 
     directly related to the defense contract under such program 
     and who are employed by the defense contractor; or
       (B) if there is no such representative at that time, each 
     such employee; and

     substantial reduction in, a defense program provided under 
     subsection (c)(1) to an employee of a defense contractor

     SEC. 4472. STUDY TO DETERMINE THE DISLOCATION EFFECTS OF 
                   CURRENT AND FUTURE REDUCTIONS IN SPENDING FOR 
                   THE NATIONAL DEFENSE.

       (a) Study.--The Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
     Labor shall jointly conduct a study to determine the 
     dislocation effects that are projected to occur as a result 
     of current and future reductions in spending for the national 
     defense. The responsibilities of the Secretary of Defense 
     under this section shall be carried out by the Defense 
     Economic Adjustment Center established within the National 
     Defense University under section 2504(a) of title 10, United 
     States Code.
       (b) Conduct of Study.--In carrying out the study under 
     subsection (a), the Secretaries shall--
       (1) consider the reemployment potential of workers losing 
     jobs as a result of reduced defense spending, including the 
     probability that such workers will be absorbed into other 
     comparable jobs in the Federal Government or other comparable 
     jobs in the geographic locality of such workers;
       (2) include projections for--
       (A) dislocation in the private sector defense industry, 
     dislocation of active duty military, and dislocation of 
     civilians working for the Department of Defense; and
       (B) secondary dislocation in communities that are 
     substantially and seriously affected (as defined in section 
     4003(5)(A) of the Defense Economic Adjustment, 
     Diversification, Conversion, and Stabilization Act of 1990 
     (Public Law 101-510; 104 Stat. 1848; 10 U.S.C. 2391 note)) 
     where job loss occurs as a consequence of the closing or 
     reduction in force of military facilities, or the 
     cancellation or reduction in defense contracts in such 
     community;
       (3) include information on the regional impact of reduced 
     defense spending as it applies to worker dislocation;
       (4) include a comparison of the characteristics of the 
     workforce population being dislocated as a consequence of 
     reduced defense spending to the characteristics of the 
     general dislocated workforce population in the United States, 
     including characteristics relating to education status, 
     income level, and occupation;
       (5) include projections on how dislocations occurring as a 
     consequence of reduced defense spending will impact on other 
     Federal programs that serve dislocated workers (particularly 
     programs in which funding is based on unemployment 
     statistics), including programs under the Job Training 
     Partnership Act (29 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.); and
       (6) include a comparison of the average length of advance 
     notice received by workers being dislocated as a consequence 
     of reduced defense spending to the average length of advance 
     notice received by workers being dislocated for other 
     reasons.
       (c) Report.--Not later than 12 months after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretaries shall jointly submit 
     to the Congress a report containing--
       (1) the findings and conclusions of the Secretaries 
     resulting from the study under subsection (a); and
       (2) recommendations for assistance to dislocated workers 
     based on the findings and conclusions referred to in 
     paragraph (1).

    Subtitle G--Service Members Occupational Conversion and Training

     SEC. 4481. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Service Members 
     Occupational Conversion and Training Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 4482. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the men and women serving in our Nation's Armed Forces 
     are of the highest caliber--intelligent, dedicated, and 
     disciplined--and hundreds of thousands of these service 
     members will be separating from the Armed Forces due to the 
     drawdown in military personnel;
       (2) these men and women will be entering the civilian 
     workforce during a time of economic instability and 
     uncertainty;
       (3) many of these service personnel specialized in critical 
     skills such as combat arms which will not transfer to the 
     civilian workforce;
       (4) as part of the Nation's obligation to these service 
     members, the Secretary of Defense has a unique responsibility 
     and obligation to provide them with the tools they need to be 
     reassimilated into the civilian community and continue to be 
     outstanding, productive citizens;
       (5) the rapid placement of separated military personnel in 
     civilian employment and training opportunities will 
     significantly reduce the Department of Defense's costs 
     relative to unemployment compensation for ex-service members;
       (6) military personnel are a national resource whose skills 
     and abilities must be absorbed by and integrated into the 
     civilian workforce; and
       (7) providing such training will reduce the total cost of 
     the drawdown and is important to the national defense 
     function of the Department of Defense.
       (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this subtitle is to provide 
     additional means by which the Secretary of Defense can manage 
     the drawdown of the Armed Forces and to provide additional 
     forms of assistance to members of the Armed Forces who are 
     forced or induced to leave military service by reason of the 
     drawdown of the Armed Forces, thereby facilitating the 
     Secretary's ability to achieve end strength reductions caused 
     by the drawdown.

     SEC. 4483. DEFINITIONS.

       For the purposes of this subtitle:
       (1) The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary of Defense.
       (2) The terms ``veteran'', ``compensation'', ``service-

     this subtitle.
       (B) Approval of an application of an eligible person under

     and (c) and subject to section 4485(d), the implementing 
     official shall make payments to employers in accordance with 
     this section. The amount payable to such an employer on 
     behalf of an eligible person with respect to an approved 
     program of job training under this subtitle shall be 
     determined by such official at the beginning of such program. 
     Except as provided in subparagraph (B), that amount shall be 
     equal to 50 percent of the product of (i) the starting hourly 
     rate of wages paid to the eligible person by the employer 
     (without regard to overtime or premium pay), and (ii) the 
     number of hours to be worked by the eligible person during 
     the entire program period.
       (B) In no case may the amount determined under subparagraph 
     (A) exceed--
       (i) $12,000 for an eligible person with a service-connected 
     disability rated at 30 percent or more; or
       (ii) $10,000 for an eligible person not described in clause

       (b) Payment Period.--(1) Except as provided in paragraphs 
     (2) and (3), the implementing official shall pay training 
     assistance to employers under this section on a quarterly 
     basis.
       (2) The implementing official may pay training assistance 
     to an employer on a monthly basis if the implementing 
     official determines (pursuant to regulations prescribed by 
     the implementing official) that the number of employees of 
     the employer is such that the payment of assistance on a 
     quarterly basis would be burdensome to the employer.
       (3) The implementing official shall withhold 25 percent of 
     each payment due under this subsection with respect to an 
     eligible person. The total amount withheld with respect to an 
     eligible person under this paragraph shall be paid to the 
     employer at the end of the four month period of employment of 
     such person under this subtitle beginning on the date of 
     completion of training.

     payments under subsection (a), the implementing official 
     shall reimburse the employer for the cost of tools and other 
     work-related materials necessary for the eligible person's 
     participation in the program of job training in an amount up 
     to $500 if the employer presents to the implementing official 
     a certification signed by the employer and eligible person 
     that--
       (1) tools and other work-related materials are necessary 
     for the eligible person's participation in the job training 
     program,
       (2) the eligible person bought the tools and other work-
     related materials, and
       (3) the employer paid the eligible person for the cost of 
     the tools and other work-related materials.
       (d) Overpayments.--(1)(A) Whenever the implementing 
     official finds that an overpayment under this subtitle has 
     been made to an employer on behalf of an eligible person as a 
     result of a certification, or information contained in an 
     application, submitted by an employer which was false in any 
     material respect, the amount of such overpayment shall 
     constitute a liability of the employer to the United States.
       (B) Whenever such official finds that an employer has 
     failed in any substantial respect to comply for a period of 
     time with a requirement established under this subtitle 
     (unless the employer's failure is the result of false or 
     incomplete information provided by the eligible person), each 
     amount paid to the employer on behalf of an eligible person 
     for that period shall be considered to be an overpayment 
     under this subtitle, and the amount of such overpayment shall 
     constitute a liability of the employer to the United States.
       (2) Whenever such official finds that an overpayment under 
     this subtitle has been made to an employer on behalf of an 
     eligible person as a result of a certification by the 
     eligible person, or as a result of information provided to an 
     employer or contained in an application submitted by the 
     eligible person, which was willfully or negligently false in 
     any material respect, the amount of such overpayment shall 
     constitute a liability of the eligible person to the United 
     States.
       (3) Any overpayment referred to in paragraph (1) or (2) may 
     be recovered in the same manner as any other debt due the 
     United States. Any overpayment recovered shall be credited to 
     funds available to make payments under this subtitle. If 
     there are no such funds, any overpayment recovered shall be 
     deposited into the Treasury.
       (4) Any overpayment referred to in paragraph (1) or (2) may 
     be waived, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms 
     and conditions set forth in section 5302 of title 38, United 
     States Code.
       (e) Limitations.--(1) Payment may not be made to an 
     employer for a period of training under this subtitle on

     eligible person was employed full time by the employer in a 
     program of job training during such period; and
       (B) from the employer, a certification--
       (i) that the eligible person was employed by the employer 
     during that period and that the eligible person's performance 
     and progress during such period were satisfactory; and
       (ii) of the number of hours worked by the eligible person 
     during that period.
     With respect to the first such certification by an employer 
     with respect to an eligible person, the certification shall 
     indicate the date on which the employment of the eligible 
     person began and the starting hourly rate of wages paid to 
     the eligible person (without regard to overtime or premium 
     pay).
       (2) Payment may not be made to an employer for a period of 
     training under this subtitle on behalf of an eligible person 
     for which a request for payment is made after two years after 
     the date on which that period of training ends.

     SEC. 4488. ENTRY INTO PROGRAM OF JOB TRAINING.

       (a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     this subtitle, the implementing official shall withhold or 
     deny approval of an eligible person's entry into an approved 
     program of job training if such official determines that 
     funds are not available to make payments under this subtitle 
     on behalf of the eligible person to the employer offering 
     that program. Before the entry of an eligible person into an 
     approved program of job training of an employer for purposes 
     of assistance under this subtitle, the employer shall notify 
     such official of the employer's intention to employ that 
     eligible person. The eligible person may begin such program 
     of job training with the employer two weeks after the notice 
     is transmitted, by means prescribed by such official, to such 
     official unless within that time the employer has received 
     notice from such official that approval of the eligible 
     person's entry into that program of job training must be 
     withheld or denied in accordance with this section.
       (b) Period for Commencement of Participation Under 
     Certificate.--An eligible person who is issued a certificate

     of the certificate. The date on which a certificate is 
     furnished to an eligible person shall be stated on the

       An employer may enter into an agreement with an educational 
     institution that has been approved for the purposes of 
     chapter 106 of title 10, United States Code, in order that 
     such institution may provide a program of job training (or a 
     portion of such a program) under this subtitle. When such an 
     agreement has been entered into, the application of the 
     employer under section 4486 shall so state and shall include 
     a description of the training to be provided under the 
     agreement.

     official finds at any time that a program of job training 
     previously approved for the purposes of this subtitle 
     thereafter fails to meet any of the requirements established 
     under this subtitle, such official may immediately disapprove 
     further participation by eligible persons in that program. 
     Such official shall provide to the employer concerned, and to 
     each eligible person participating in the employer's program, 
     a statement of the reasons for, and an opportunity for a 
     hearing with respect to, such disapproval. The employer and 
     each such eligible person shall be notified of such 
     disapproval, the reasons for such disapproval, and the 
     opportunity for a hearing. Notification shall be by a 
     certified or registered letter, and a return receipt shall be

     determines that the rate of eligible persons' successful 
     completion of an employer's programs of job training 
     previously approved for the purposes of this subtitle is 
     disproportionately low because of deficiencies in the quality 
     of such programs, such official shall disapprove 
     participation in such programs on the part of eligible 
     persons who had not begun such participation on the date that 
     the employer is notified of the disapproval. In determining 
     whether any such rate is disproportionately low because of 
     such deficiencies, such official shall take into account 
     appropriate data, including--
       (A) the quarterly data provided by the Secretary of Labor 
     with respect to the number of eligible persons who receive 
     counseling in connection with training under this subtitle, 
     are referred to employers under this subtitle, participate in 
     job training under this subtitle, and complete such training 
     or do not complete such training, and the reasons for 
     noncompletion; and
       (B) data compiled through the particular employer's 
     compliance surveys.
       (2) With respect to a disapproval under paragraph (1), the 
     implementing official shall provide to the employer concerned 
     the kind of statement, opportunity for hearing, and notice 
     described in subsection (a).
       (3) A disapproval under paragraph (1) shall remain in 
     effect until such time as the implementing official 
     determines that adequate remedial action has been taken.

     Government.

     copies of records), questioning employees, and entering into 
     any premises or onto any site where any part of a program of

       (a) Requirement for Determination.--An amount made 
     available under this Act for a program described in 
     subsection (b) may be obligated for that program only if 
     expenditures for that program have been determined by the 
     Director of the Office of Management and Budget to be counted 
     against the defense category of the discretionary spending 
     limits for fiscal year 1993 (as defined in section 601(a)(2) 
     of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974) for purposes of part 
     C of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of

     the Office of Management and Budget shall make a 
     determination as to the classification by discretionary 
     spending limit category for purposes of the Balanced Budget 
     and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 of amounts 
     appropriated for fiscal year 1993 for each of the programs 
     described in subsection (b). If the Director determines that 
     any such amount shall not classify against the defense 
     category, then the President shall submit to Congress a 
     report listing all such amounts that the Director has 
     determined will not classify against the defense category (as 
     described in subsection (a)). Such report shall contain an 
     explanation for each such determination.

     may be transferred only to the programs under titles XLII, 
     XLIII, and XLIV that are classified against the defense 
     category by virtue of the report of the President submitted 
     under paragraph (1) pursuant to amounts specified in 
     appropriation Acts. Any such transfer shall be taken into 
     account for purposes of calculating all reports under section 
     254 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act 
     of 1985.

                      TITLE I--GENERAL PROVISIONS

     SEC. 101. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) recent developments in Russia and the other independent 
     states of the former Soviet Union present an historic 
     opportunity for a transition to a peaceful and stable 
     international order and the integration of the independent 
     states of the former Soviet Union into the community of 
     democratic nations;
       (2) the entire international community has a vital interest 
     in the success of this transition, and the dimension of the 
     problems now faced in the independent states of the former 
     Soviet Union makes it imperative for donor countries and 
     institutions to provide the expertise and support necessary 
     to ensure continued progress on economic and political 
     reforms;
       (3) the United States is especially well-positioned because 
     of its heritage and traditions to make a substantial 
     contribution to this transition by building on current 
     technical cooperation, medical, and food assistance programs, 
     by assisting in the development of democratic institutions, 
     and by fostering conditions that will encourage the United 
     States business community to engage in trade and investment;
       (4) failure to meet the opportunities presented by these 
     developments could threaten United States national security 
     interests and jeopardize substantial savings in United States 
     defense that these developments have made possible;
       (5) the independent states of the former Soviet Union face 
     unprecedented environmental problems that jeopardize the 
     quality of life and the very existence of not only their own 
     peoples but also the peoples of other countries, and it is 
     incumbent on the international community to assist the 
     independent states in addressing these problems and in 
     promoting sustainable use of resources and development;
       (6) the success of United States assistance for the 
     independent states of the former Soviet Union depends on--
       (A) effective coordination of United States efforts with 
     similar activities of friendly and allied donor countries and 
     of international financial institutions, and
       (B) reciprocal commitments by the governments of the 
     independent states to work toward the creation of democratic 
     institutions and an environment hospitable to foreign 
     investment based upon the rule of law, including negotiation 
     of bilateral and multilateral agreements on open trade and 
     investment, adoption of commercial codes, establishment of 
     transparency in regulatory and other governmental decision 
     making, and timely payment of obligations carried over from 
     previous governmental entities; and
       (7) trade and investment opportunities in the independent 
     states of the former Soviet Union will generate employment 
     and other economic benefits for the United States as the 
     economies of the independent states of the former Soviet 
     Union begin to realize their enormous potential as both 
     customers and suppliers.

     SEC. 102. PROGRAM COORDINATION, IMPLEMENTATION, AND

Para. 119.43  domestic violence testimony

  Mr. HUGHES moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 89): 

       Whereas State criminal courts often fail to admit expert 
     testimony offered by a defendant concerning the nature and 
     effect of physical, sexual, and mental abuse to assist the 
     trier of fact in assessing the behavior, beliefs, or 
     perceptions of such defendant in a domestic relationship in 
     which abuse has occurred;
       Whereas the average juror often has little understanding of 
     the nature and effect of domestic violence on such a 
     defendant's behavior, beliefs, or perceptions, and the lack 
     of understanding can result in the juror blaming the woman 
     for her victimization;
       Whereas the average juror is often unaware that victims of 
     domestic violence are frequently in greater danger of 
     violence after they terminate or attempt to terminate 
     domestic relationship with their abuser;
       Whereas myths, misconceptions, and victim-blaming attitudes 
     are often held not only by the average layperson but also 
     many in the criminal justice system, insofar as the criminal 
     justice system traditionally has failed to protect women from 
     violence at the hands of men;
       Whereas specialized knowledge of the nature and effect of 
     domestic violence is sufficiently established to have gained 
     the general acceptance which is required for the 
     admissibility of expert testimony;
       Whereas although both men and women can be victims of 
     physical, sexual, and mental abuse by their partners in 
     domestic relationship, the most frequent victims are women; 
     and
       Whereas a women is more likely to be assaulted and injured, 
     raped, or killed by her current or former male partner than 
     by any other type of assailant, and over one-half of all 
     women murdered are killed by their current or former male 
     partners: Now, therefore, be it
       Revolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) expert testimony concerning the nature and effect of 
     domestic violence, including descriptions of the experiences 
     of battered women, should be admissible when offered in a 
     State court by a defendant in a criminal case to assist the 
     trier of fact in understanding the behavior, beliefs, or 
     perceptions of such defendant in a domestic relationship in 
     which abuse has occurred;
       (2) a witness should be qualified to testify as an expert 
     witness based upon her or his knowledge, skill, experience, 
     training, or education, and should be permitted to testify in 
     the form of an opinion or otherwise and
       (3) a domestic relationship about which such expert 
     testimony should be admissible includes relationships between 
     spouses, former spouses, cohabitants, former cohabitants, 
     partners or former partners, and between persons who are in, 
     or have been in, a dating, courtship, or intimate 
     relationship.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Advisory Council on 
     California Indian Policy Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       The Congress has reviewed the social, economic, and 
     political circumstances of California Indians and of 
     governmental policies and programs affecting California 
     Indians and finds that--
       (1) the Congress has recognized a special government-to-
     government relationship with Indian tribes in the United 
     States;
       (2) due to the unique historical circumstances of the 
     Indians of California, Federal law and policies have often 
     dealt specifically with California Indians;
       (3) there is an urgent need to clarify the eligibility of 
     unrecognized and terminated California Indian tribal groups 
     to be federally acknowledged as Indian tribes with all the 
     rights and powers attendant to that status;
       (4) there is among California Indians a continuing social 
     and economic crisis, characterized by, among other things, 
     alcohol and substance abuse, critical health problems, family 
     violence and child abuse, lack of educational and employment 
     opportunities, and significant barriers to tribal economic 
     development;
       (5) these conditions exist even though public policies and 
     programs adopted by the Federal Government have been intended 
     to improve the conditions of California Indians; and
       (6) California Indian tribes and tribal organizations have 
     expressed a need for a review of the public policies and 
     programs affecting California Indians and to make such 
     policies and programs more effective in accomplishing Federal 
     policy objectives.

     amended by adding at the end thereof the following new 
     subsection:
       ``(d)(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, 
     where a State workers' compensation law is applicable and 
     coverage is provided for a migrant or seasonal agricultural 
     worker, the workers' compensation benefits shall be the 
     exclusive remedy for loss of such worker under this Act in 
     the case of bodily injury or death.
       ``(2) The exclusive remedy prescribed by paragraph (1) 
     precludes the recovery under subsection (c) of actual damages 
     for loss from an injury or death but does not preclude 
     recovery under subsection (c) for statutory damages or an 
     injunction.''.
       (c) Effective Date.--
       (1) In general.--The amendment made by subsection (a) shall 
     apply to all actions commenced after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act but shall not apply after the 
     expiration of 9 months after such date.
       (2) Revival.--Notwithstanding any applicable statute of 
     limitations, an action for actual damages brought by a 
     migrant or seasonal worker for loss from bodily injury or 
     death under section 504 of the Migrant and Seasonal 
     Agricultural Worker Protection Act which may not be brought 
     during the 9-month period referred to in paragraph (1) may be 
     commenced, either as part of an earlier action or as an 
     action by itself, after the expiration of such period. A 
     statute of limitations which is waived by the preceding 
     sentence shall be extended for only 9 months from the date of 
     expiration of such statute of limitations.
       And the Senate agree to the same.

       Resolved, That the bill (H.R. 5953) entitled ``A bill for 
     the relief of Donald W. Sneeden, Mary S. Sneeden, and Henry 
     C. Best'', now pending in the House of Representatives, 
     together with all accompanying papers, is referred to the 
     chief judge of the United States Claims Court pursuant to 
     section 1492 of title 28, United States Code, for proceedings 
     in accordance with section 2509 of such title.

  Amendments offered by the Committee on the Judiciary:

       Page 1, line 1, strike ``5953'' and insert ``6012''.

       (b) In conducting its proceedings concerning H.R. 6012 in 
     accordance with section 2509 of title 28, United States Code, 
     the United States Claims Court may recommend the payment of

     agreement dated June 5, 1986, between the United States and 
     the contractor, J. Lawson Jones Construction Co., Inc., on 
     behalf of its subcontractor, Lincoln Construction Company, 
     Inc., that the contractor agreed to release the Government 
     from all claims arising out of the contract dispute and that 
     the agreement constituted a full accord and satisfaction of 
     all the contractors' claims against the United States. In 
     determining whether such provisions in the agreement should 
     bar the award of any additional money, the Claims Court shall 
     determine whether the United States acted in bad faith in 
     settling the claim, knowing that at the time of the 
     settlement negotiations Lincoln Construction Company, Inc., 
     because of its obligations to pay debts pursuant to a 
     bankruptcy proceeding, was constrained to accept even an 
     unreasonable settlement offer.

  The title of the resolution was amended so as to read: ``Resolution 
referring the bill (H.R. 6012) for the relief of Donald W. Sneeden, 
Mary S. Sneeden, and Henry C. Best, to the chief judge of the United

Para. 120.37  driftnet fishery conservation program

  Mr. STUDDS moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
amendment of the Senate to the House amendments to the amendment of the 
Senate to the bill (H.R. 2152) to enhance the effectiveness of the 
United Nations international driftnet fishery conservation program:

       In lieu of the matter proposed to be inserted by the House 
     amendment to the Senate amendment to the text of the bill, 
     insert:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``High Seas Driftnet Fisheries 
     Enforcement Act''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND POLICY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Large-scale driftnet fishing on the high seas is highly 
     destructive to the living marine resources and ocean 
     ecosystems of the world's oceans, including anadromous fish 
     and other living marine resources of the United States.
       (2) The cumulative effects of large-scale driftnet fishing 
     pose a significant threat to the marine ecosystem, and slow-
     reproducing species like marine mammals, sharks, and seabirds 
     may require many years to recover.
       (3) Members of the international community have reviewed 
     the best available scientific data on the impacts of large-
     scale pelagic driftnet fishing, and have failed to conclude 
     that this practice has no significant adverse impacts which 
     threaten the conservation and sustainable management of 
     living marine resources.
       (4) The United Nations, via General Assembly Resolutions 
     numbered 44-225, 45-197, and most recently 46-215 (adopted on 
     December 20, 1991), has called for a worldwide moratorium on 
     all high seas driftnet fishing by December 31, 1992, in all 
     the world's oceans, including enclosed seas and semi-enclosed 
     seas.
       (5) The United Nations has commended the unilateral, 
     regional, and international efforts undertaken by members of 
     the international community and international organizations 
     to implement and support the objectives of the General 
     Assembly resolutions.
       (6) Operative paragraph (4) of United Nations General 
     Assembly Resolution numbered 46-215 specifically ``encourages 
     all members of the international community to take measures 
     individually and collectively to prevent large-scale pelagic 
     driftnet fishing operations on the high seas of the world's 
     oceans and seas''.
       (7) The United States, in section 307(1)(M) of the Magnuson 
     Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 
     1857(1)(M)), has specifically prohibited the practice of 
     large-scale driftnet fishing by United States nationals and 
     vessels both within the exclusive economic zone of the United 
     States and beyond the exclusive economic zone of any nation.
       (8) The Senate, through Senate Resolution 396 of the 100th 
     Congress (approved on March 18, 1988), has called for a 
     moratorium on fishing in the Central Bering Sea and the 
     United States has taken concrete steps to implement such 
     moratorium through international negotiations.
       (9) Despite the continued evidence of a decline in the 
     fishery resources of the Bering Sea and the multiyear 
     cooperative negotiations undertaken by the United States, the 
     Russian Federation, Japan, and other concerned fishing 
     nations, some nations refuse to agree to measures to reduce 
     or eliminate unregulated fishing practices in the waters of 
     the Bering Sea beyond the exclusive economic zones of the 
     United States and the Russian Federation.
       (10) In order to ensure that the global moratorium on 
     large-scale driftnet fishing called for in United Nations 
     General Assembly Resolution numbered 46-215 takes effect by 
     December 31, 1992, and that unregulated fishing practices in 
     the waters of the Central Bering Sea are reduced or 
     eliminated, the United States should take the actions 
     described in this Act and encourage other nations to take 
     similar action.
       (b) Policy.--It is the stated policy of the United States 
     to--
       (1) implement United Nations General Assembly Resolution 
     numbered 46-215, approved unanimously on December 20, 1991, 
     which calls for an immediate cessation to further expansion 
     of large-scale driftnet fishing, a 50 percent reduction in 
     existing large-scale driftnet fishing effort by June 30, 
     1992, and a global moratorium on the use of large-scale 
     driftnets beyond the exclusive economic zone of any nation by 
     December 31, 1992;
       (2) bring about a moratorium on fishing in the Central 
     Bering Sea, or an international conservation and management 
     agreement to which the United States and the Russian 
     Federation are parties that regulates fishing in the Central 
     Bering Sea; and
       (3) secure a permanent ban on the use of destructive 
     fishing practices, and in particular large-scale driftnets, 
     by persons or vessels fishing beyond the exclusive economic 
     zone of any nation.

     vessels of that nation under paragraph (1); and
       (B) any sanctions or requirements, under this Act or any

     economic zone of any nation, the Secretary of Commerce 
     shall--

       (ii) notify the President and that nation of the

     agreement that will effect the immediate termination of 
     large-scale driftnet fishing by the nationals or vessels of 
     that nation beyond the exclusive economic zone of any nation.
       (3) Prohibition on imports of fish and fish products and 
     sport fishing equipment.--

     enhanced locomotive conspicuity measures no later than June 
     30, 1995. The Secretary shall require that all locomotives

                              environment

       Sec. 532. (a) It is the policy of the United States that 
     sustainable economic growth must be predicated on the 
     sustainable management of natural resources. The Secretary of 
     the Treasury shall instruct the United States Executive 
     Director of each multilateral development bank (MDB) to 
     continue to promote vigorously the environmental and energy 
     initiatives established in section 533(a) of the Foreign 
     Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs 
     Appropriations Act, 1991 (Public Law 101-513). The Secretary 
     of the Treasury, in cooperation with the Secretary of State, 
     shall also undertake direct, bilateral discussions with 
     appropriate officials of the governments of the member 
     nations of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and 
     Development with a goal of building greater international 
     support for the environmental goals established in subsection 
     (d) of this section. The Secretary of the Treasury shall 
     submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations by March 
     1, 1993, which describes the progress of these bilateral 
     discussions.
       (b) The Secretary of the Treasury shall, not later than 
     March 1, 1993, submit a report to the Congress containing the 
     same information as requested in section 533(b) of Public Law 
     101-513.
       (c)(1) In furtherance of the policies contained in section 
     533(a) of Public Law 101-513 and section 1308 of the 
     International Development and Finance Act of 1989 (Public Law 
     101-240), and as a basis for measuring more effectively 
     progress by the MDBs toward improved environmental 
     performance, the Secretary of the Treasury shall instruct the 
     United States Executive Directors of the MDBs to encourage 
     each MDB, at a minimum, to meet the benchmarks established in 
     paragraph (2) in the areas of sustainable energy development, 
     forest conservation, forced displacement of populations, and 
     environmental impact assessment. On March 1, 1993 and March 
     1, 1994, the Secretary of the Treasury shall submit a report 
     to the Congress describing in detail the progress being made 
     by the MDBs in meeting these benchmarks.
       (2) For the purposes of paragraph (1), benchmarks are as 
     follows:
       (A) In the area of sustainable energy development--
       (i) all loans in the energy sector should be based on, or 
     support development of, ``least-cost'' integrated resource 
     plans. Such plans shall include analyses of possible end-use 
     energy efficiency measures and nonconventional renewable 
     energy options, and such plans shall reflect the quantifiable 
     environmental costs of proposed energy developments;
       (ii) a substantial portion of loans and grants in the 
     energy, industry, and transportation sectors shall be devoted 
     to end-use energy efficiency improvements and nonconventional 
     renewable energy development; and
       (iii) all organizational units within the MDBs should 
     create staff positions in a management role in end-use 
     efficiency and renewable energy, which positions shall be 
     staffed by individuals with professional experience in 
     program design and management and educational degrees in 
     relevant technical disciplines.
       (B) In the area of forest conservation--
       (i) forestry loans should not support commercial logging in 
     relatively undisturbed primary forests, nor should loans 
     result in any significant loss of tropical forests;
       (ii) forestry loans should not be disbursed until legal, 
     economic, land tenure, and other policy conditions needed to 
     ensure sustainability are in place;
       (iii) loans should not support mineral, petroleum, or other 
     industrial development in, or construction or upgrading of 
     roads through, relatively undisturbed primary forests unless 
     adequate safeguards and monitoring systems, developed in 
     consultation with local populations, are already in place to 
     prevent degradation of the surrounding forests;
       (iv) loans should be consistent with and support the needs 
     and rights of indigenous peoples and other long-term forest 
     inhabitants and should not be made to countries which have 
     shown an unwillingness to resolve fairly the territorial 
     claims of such people; and
       (v) support for protection of biological diversity, in 
     close consultation with local communities, should be 
     increased to account for a larger proportion of MDB lending.
       (C) In the area of forced displacement of populations--
       (i) the World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, and 
     Asian Development Bank should maintain a listing, available 
     to the Secretary of the Treasury, of all ongoing projects 
     involving forced displacement of populations, including the 
     number of people displaced and a report on the status of the 
     implementation of their resettlement policy guidelines for 
     each such project, and obtain agreements with borrowers to 
     ensure that all ongoing projects involving forced 
     displacement will be in full compliance with their 
     resettlement policy guidelines by mid-1993; and
       (ii) the African Development Bank should adopt and 
     implement policy guidelines on forced displacement similar to 
     such guidelines of the other MDBs.
       (D) In the area of procedures for environmental impact 
     assessment (EIA)--
       (i) each MDB should require that draft and final EIA 
     reports be made available to the public in borrowing and 
     donor countries and that the public be offered timely 
     opportunities for comment on the EIA process, including 
     initial scoping sessions, review of EIA categories assigned 
     to individual projects, and opportunities to comment on draft 
     and final EIA reports;
       (ii) each MDB should apply EIA requirements to all sector 
     loans and develop and apply the methodology for environmental 
     assessment of structural adjustment loans;
       (iii) each MDB should require that the EIA process include 
     analyses of the potential impacts of proposed projects on the 
     global environment; and
       (iv) each MDB should require the head of the appropriate 
     environmental unit, rather than project officers, determine 
     the appropriate type of environmental analysis required under 
     the bank's EIA procedures.
       (d) The Administrator of the Agency for International 
     Development shall instruct all Agency missions and bureaus to 
     continue to implement all elements of the ``Global Warming 
     Initiative'' as defined in, and which may continue under, the 
     authorities of sections 533(c) (1) through (4) of Public Law 
     101-513. The Initiative shall continue to emphasize the need 
     to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases through strategies 
     consistent with continued economic development, such as 
     forest conservation, end-use energy efficiency, least-cost 
     energy planning, and renewable energy development. The 
     Administrator shall direct Agency mission directors to 
     incorporate these strategies in their country programs.
       (e) Of the funds appropriated by this Act under the 
     headings in title II of this Act under ``Agency for 
     International Development'', not less than $650,000,000 shall

     Act of 1961 shall be made available to support replicable 
     renewable energy projects, and the Agency for International 
     Development shall initiate at least five significant new 
     activities in renewable energy during fiscal year 1993;
       (3) Not less than $7,000,000 of the funds appropriated for

     out the provisions of chapter 4 of part II of the Foreign 
     Assistance Act of 1961 may be made available to carry out the 
     ``Forests for the Future Initiative'' and to achieve a Global 
     Forest Agreement.
       (f) Of the funds appropriated by this Act to carry out the 
     provisions of part I and chapter 4 of part II of the Foreign 
     Assistance Act of 1961, the Agency for International

                   ENGINEERING AND DESIGN; NATOMAS LEVEE 
                   CONSTRUCTION.

       (a) Continuation of Engineering and Design.--The Secretary 
     of the Army is directed to reevaluate the project for flood 
     control and recreation, Sacramento and American Rivers, 
     California, as described in the feasibility report of the 
     Chief of Engineers, entitled the ``American River Watershed 
     Investigation'', dated July 1, 1992, subject to the 
     provisions of this Section.
       (b) Natomas Levee Features.--
       (1) Construction.--The Secretary of the Army is authorized 
     and directed to construct the Natomas levee features of the 
     project as described in the feasibility report referred to in 
     subsection (a), subject to entering into appropriate local 
     cost-sharing agreements from the non-Federal sponsors of the 
     project, provided that such construction does not encourage 
     the development of deep floodplains.
       (2) Credit for certain non-federal work.--The Secretary of 
     the Army shall credit against the non-Federal share of the 
     cost of construction under paragraph (1), or reimburse the 
     non-Federal sponsors, for any planning and construction work 
     performed by the non-Federal sponsors to protect the Natomas 
     area which is commenced prior to the Army Corps of Engineers' 
     receiving appropriations to initiate such construction and 
     which is consistent with the feasibility report referred to 
     in subsection (a).
       (c) Gating and Expandability Report.--In carrying out the 
     reevaluation described in subsection (a) and in consultation 
     with the State of California, the local non-Federal sponsors, 
     and other interested groups, the Secretary of the Army is 
     directed, within 1 year after the date of the enactment of 
     this Act, to submit to the Committee on Public Works and 
     Transportation of the House of Representatives and the 
     Committee on Environment and Public Works of the Senate a 
     report which:
       (1) analyzes the outlet design of the flood control dam 
     proposed as a feature of the project referred to in 
     subsection (a), including an analysis of various 
     configurations and capacities of gates (including a 
     completely ungated configuration, a partly ungated 
     configuration, emergency gates, operational gates, or a 
     combination thereof) to ensure the safety of the flood 
     control dam itself, to provide for system safety, to minimize 
     small event flooding of the Auburn Canyon, and to minimize 
     damages to the vegetation, soils, and habitat in the canyon; 
     and 
       (2) includes further analysis as to whether any feature or 
     characteristic of the flood control dam would preclude its 
     efficient expansion for water, power, or other purposes, and 
     whether the design would create any greater difficulty for an 
     expanded dam to meet seismic requirements than a multipurpose 
     dam would otherwise encounter, and further assessment of the 
     extra costs attributable to installation into an expanded dam 
     such penstocks, operational gates and other features of a 
     multipurpose dam which would not be included in an expandable 
     dam lacking advanced features.
       (d) Repayment of Design Work.-The non-Federal share of the 
     costs of the design and reevaluations described in subsection 
     (a) shall not be required to be repaid until after the 
     execution of the agreement required by section 103(j) of the 
     Water Resources Development Act of 1986 and immediately prior 
     to the initiation of construction of the project or the 
     appropriate separable element.
       (e) Special Evaluation Reports.--
       (1) In carrying out the reevaluation described in 
     subsection (a) and in consultation with the State of 
     California, the local non-Federal sponsors, and other 
     interested groups, the Secretary of the Army shall perform 
     further evaluation of, and, within 12 months after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, submit to the Committee on 
     Public Works and Transportation of the House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Environment and Public 
     Works of the Senate a report on, other features and 
     operational procedures that should be implemented in a 
     coordinated plan to provide flood protection sufficiently 
     high for a major urban areas subject to risk of frequent 
     floods causing great economic, environmental, and social 
     damage. The report shall specifically address, at a minimum, 
     the following:
       (i) The reliability, costs, environmental impacts, and 
     public safety risks associated with increasing objective 
     flows in the Lower American River above the 115,000 cubic 
     feet per second design capacity, as well as the costs and 
     impacts of permanent reoperation of Folsom Reservoir at 
     different levels of increased flood storage, including the 
     appropriate alternatives for sharing costs associated with 
     Folsom Dam.
       (ii) The costs and benefits of lowering the spill-way at 
     Folsom Dam in order to improve the dam's ability to pass a 
     maximum probable flood and improve its operational 
     flexibility for flood control.

[[Page 2587]]

       (iii) The costs and benefits of transferring flood control 
     obligations from the Folsom Reservoir to a new flood control 
     facility at Auburn, increasing the Folsom Reservoir's 
     capability for water supply.
       (iv) The costs and benefits of utilizing existing and 
     increased flood space in the upstream reservoirs to enhance 
     the flood control capability at Folsom Dam and of 
     establishing offstream storage in Deer Creek, alone or on 
     combination with the alternatives referenced in paragraphs 
     (i) and (ii) of this subsection.
       (2) The Secretary of the Army shall further consult with, 
     and solicit the views of, the National Academy of Engineering 
     on the contingency assumptions, hydrological methodologies 
     used in the preparation of the American River Project, and 
     other engineering assumptions and methodologies influencing 
     the scope and formulation of the American River flood control 
     alternatives. Such consultation shall also solicit the views 
     of the National Academy of Engineering on the merits of 
     normalized use of reservoir surcharge space in a flood 
     control regime for Sacramento. Any options with respect to 
     these and other issues rendered by the National Academy of 
     Engineering shall be made available to the public and 
     included in the reports transmitted to Congress pursuant to 
     this section.
       (f) Folsom Dam.--
       (1) In general.--Congress recognizes the urgency of 
     ensuring that Folsom Dam is operated correctly, safely, 
     efficiently and prudently for flood control purposes. The 
     Secretary of the Interior (in consultation with the 
     Sacramento Flood Control Agency and the Secretary of the 
     Army) shall operate Folsom Dam to provide the maximum level 
     of flood protections. 
       (2) Flood Management Plan.--(A) Not later than one year 
     after the date of enactment of this Act, and consistent with 
     existing law, the Secretaries of the Army and Interior shall 
     jointly develop and implement a flood management plan for the 
     American River and Folsom Dam that ensures prompt, reliable, 
     and full utilization of the flood control capability at 
     Folsom Dam and other existing water resources development 
     projects located in the American River watershed, California. 
     Consistent with existing law, the plan should maximize the 
     flood control capability within Folsom Dam's flood space 
     reservation. The plan shall also identify opportunities and 
     make recommendations to improve the stream gauge network and 
     flood forecast system for the upper American River watershed. 
     The Plan should also recognize that Reservoir releases need 
     to be made as quickly as possible in anticipation of incoming 
     flow and in accordance with existing documents: ``1959 
     Reservoir Regulations, Appendix II, the Corps Master Manual, 
     Sacramento River Basin Reservoir Regulation Manual, Folsom 
     Dam/Reservoir, American River: October 1, 1956,'' revised 
     March 1959.

     Base: Provided, That the Secretary of the Air Force shall 
     evaluate such claims as may be submitted by subcontractors 
     engaged under this contract, and, notwithstanding any other 
     provision of law, may pay such amounts from the funds 
     provided in this paragraph as the Secretary deems appropriate 
     to settle completely any claims the Secretary determines to 
     have merit: Provided further, That the Secretary shall report 
     to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations the 
     resolution of such claims as are presented for consideration 
     not later than March 15, 1993.
       Sec. 9161. Section 118(a) of title 28, United States Code,

     energy saving construction or improvements, would otherwise 
     have qualified for a base loan.
       (4) The term ``residential building'' means any attached or 
     unattached single family residence.
       (d) Rule of Construction.--This section may not be 
     construed to affect any other programs of the Secretary of 
     Housing and Urban Development for energy-efficient mortgages. 
     The pilot program carried out under this section shall not 
     replace or result in the termination of such other programs.
       (e) Regulations.--The Secretary shall issue any regulations 
     necessary to carry out this section not later than the 
     expiration of the 180-day period beginning on the date of the 
     enactment of this Act. The regulations shall be issued after 
     notice and opportunity for public comment pursuant to the 
     provisions of section 553 of title 5, United States Code 
     (notwithstanding subsections (a)(2), (b)(B), and (d)(3) of 
     such section).
       (f) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized 
     to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out

     by adding the following at the end of section 111(d):
       ``(7) Integrated resource planning.--Each electric utility 
     shall employ integrated resource planning. All plans or 
     filings before a State regulatory authority to meet the 
     requirements of this paragraph must be updated on a regular 
     basis, must provide the opportunity for public participation 
     and comment, and contain a requirement that the plan be 
     implemented.
       ``(8) Investments in conservation and demand management.--
     The rates allowed to be charged by a State regulated electric 
     utility shall be such that the utility's investment in and 
     expenditures for energy conservation, energy efficiency 
     resources, and other demand side management measures are at 
     least as profitable, giving appropriate consideration to 
     income lost from reduced sales due to investments in and 
     expenditures for conservation and efficiency, as its 
     investments in and expenditures for the construction of new 
     generation, transmission, and distribution equipment. Such 
     energy conservation, energy efficiency resources and other 
     demand side management measures shall be appropriately 
     monitored and evaluated.
       ``(9) Energy efficiency investments in power generation and 
     supply.-- The rates charged by any electric utility shall be 
     such that the utility is encouraged to make investments in, 
     and expenditures for, all cost-effective improvements in the 
     energy efficiency of power generation, transmission and 
     distribution. In considering regulatory changes to achieve 
     the objectives of this paragraph, State regulatory 
     authorities and nonregulated electric utilities shall 
     consider the disincentives caused by existing ratemaking 
     policies, and practices, and consider incentives that would 
     encourage better maintenance, and investment in more 
     efficient power generation, transmission and distribution 
     equipment.''.
       (b) Protection for Small Business.--The Public Utility 
     Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (P.L.95-617; 92 Stat. 3117;

     established by subsection (d)(7) or (8), such authority 
     shall--
       ``(A) consider the impact that implementation of such 
     standard would have on small businesses engaged in the 
     design, sale, supply, installation or servicing of energy 
     conservation, energy efficiency or other demand side 
     management measures, and
       ``(B) implement such standard so as to assure that utility 
     actions would not provide such utilities with unfair 
     competitive advantages over such small businesses.''.
       (c) Effective Date.--Section 112(b) of such Act is amended 
     by inserting ``(or after the enactment of the Comprehensive 
     National Energy Policy Act in the case of standards under 
     paragraphs (7), (8), and (9) of section 111(d)'' after 
     ``Act'' in both places such word appears in paragraphs (1) 
     and (2).
       (d) Definitions.--Section 3 of such Act is amended by 
     adding the following new paragraphs at the end thereof:
       ``(19) The term `integrated resource planning' means, in 
     the case of an electric utility, a planning and selection 
     process for new energy resources that evaluates the full 
     range of alternatives, including new generating capacity, 
     power purchases, energy conservation and efficiency, 
     cogeneration and district heating and cooling applications, 
     and renewable energy resources, in order to provide adequate

     shall take into account the ability to verify energy savings 
     achieved through energy conservation and efficiency and the 
     projected durability of such savings measured over time; and 
     shall treat demand and supply resources on a consistent and 
     integrated basis.
       ``(20) The term `system cost' means all direct and 
     quantifiable net costs for an energy resource over its 
     available life, including the cost of production, 
     distribution, transportation, utilization, waste management, 
     and environmental compliance.
       ``(21) The term `demand side management' includes load 
     management techniques.''.
       (e) Report.--Not later than 2 years after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall transmit a report 
     to the President and to the Congress containing--
       (1) a survey of all State laws, regulations, practices, and 
     policies under which State regulatory authorities implement 
     the provisions of paragraphs (7), (8), and (9) of section 
     111(d) of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978;

     extent, integrated resource planning is likely to result in--
       (A) higher or lower electricity costs to an electric 
     utility's ultimate consumers or to classes or groups of such 
     consumers;
       (B) enhanced or reduced reliability of electric service; 
     and
       (C) increased or decreased dependence on particular energy 
     resources; and
       (3) a survey of practices and policies under which electric 
     cooperatives prepare integrated resource plans, submit such 
     plans to the Rural Electrification Administration and the 
     extent to which such integrated resource planning is 
     reflected in rates charged to customers.

     The report shall include an analysis prepared in conjunction 
     with the Federal Trade Commission, of the competitive impact 
     of implementation of energy conservation, energy efficiency, 
     and other demand side management programs by utilities on 
     small businesses engaged in the design, sale, supply, 
     installation, or servicing of similar energy conservation, 
     energy efficiency, or other demand side management measures 
     and whether any unfair, deceptive, or predatory acts exist, 
     or are likely to exist, from implementation of such programs.

     surcharge under this section on all electric energy purchased 
     by the customer from the Western Area Power Administration or 
     reduce such customer's power allocation by 10 percent, unless 
     the Administrator finds that a good faith effort has been 
     made to comply with the approved plan.
       ``(e) Enforcement.--
       ``(1) No approved plan.--If an integrated resource plan for 
     any customer is not submitted before the date 12 months after 
     the guidelines are amended as required under this section or 
     if the plan is disapproved by the Administrator and a revised 
     plan is not resubmitted by the date 9 months after the date 
     of such disapproval, the Administrator shall impose a 
     surcharge of 10 percent of the purchase price on all power 
     obtained by that customer from the Western Area Power 
     Administration after such date. The surcharge shall remain in 
     effect until an integrated resource plan is approved for that 
     customer. If the plan is not submitted for more than one year 
     after the required date, the surcharge shall increase to 20 
     percent for the second year (or any portion thereof prior to 
     approval of the plan) and to 30 percent thereafter until the 
     plan is submitted or the contract for the purchase of power 
     by such customer from the Western Area Power Administration 
     terminates.
       ``(2) Failure to comply with approved plan.--After approval 
     by the Administrator of an applicable integrated resource 
     plan for any customer, the Administrator shall impose a 10 
     percent surcharge on all power purchased by such customer 
     from the Western Area Power Administration whenever the 
     Administrator determines that such customer's activities are 
     not consistent with the applicable integrated resource plan. 
     The surcharge shall remain in effect until the Administrator 
     determines that the customer's activities are consistent with 
     the applicable integrated resource plan. The surcharge shall 
     be increased to 20 percent if the customer's activities are 
     out of compliance for more than one year and to 30 percent 
     after more than 2 years, except that no surcharge shall be 
     imposed if the customer demonstrates, to the satisfaction of 
     the Administrator, that a good faith effort has been made to 
     comply with the approved plan.
       ``(3) Reduction in power allocation.--In the case of any 
     customer subject to a surcharge under paragraph (1) or (2), 
     in lieu of imposing such surcharge the Administrator may 
     reduce such customer's power allocation from the Western Area 
     Power Administration by 10 percent. The Administrator shall 
     provide by regulation the terms and conditions under which a 
     power allocation terminated under this subsection may be 
     reinstated.
       ``(f) Integrated Resource Planning Cooperatives.--With the 
     approval of the Administrator, customers within any State or 
     region may form integrated resource planning cooperatives for 
     the purposes of complying with this title, and such customers 
     shall be allowed an additional 6 months to submit an initial 
     integrated resource plan to the Administrator.
       ``(g) Customers With More Than 1 Contract.--If more than 
     one long-term firm power service contract exists between the 
     Administrator and a customer, only one integrated resource 
     plan shall be required for that customer under this title.
       ``(h) Program Review.--Within 1 year after January 1, 1999, 
     and at appropriate intervals thereafter, the Administrator 
     shall initiate a public process to review the program 
     established by this section. The Administrator is authorized 
     at that time to revise the criteria set forth in section 
     204(b) to reflect changes, if any, in technology, needs, or 
     other developments.

     SEC. 115. ENCOURAGEMENT OF INVESTMENTS IN CONSERVATION AND 
                   ENERGY EFFICIENCY BY GAS UTILITIES.

       (a) Definitions.--Section 302 of the Public Utility 
     Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (15 U.S.C. 3202) is amended 
     by adding the following at the end thereof:
       ``(9) The term `integrated resource planning' means, in the 
     case of a gas utility, planning by the use of any standard, 
     regulation, practice, or policy to undertake a systematic 
     comparison between demand-side management measures and the 
     supply of gas by a gas utility to minimize life-cycle costs 
     of adequate and reliable utility services to gas consumers. 
     Integrated resource planning shall take into account 
     necessary features for system operation such as diversity, 
     reliability, dispatchability, and other factors of risk and 
     shall treat demand and supply to gas consumers on a 
     consistent and integrated basis.
       ``(10) The term `demand-side management' includes energy 
     conservation, energy efficiency, and load management 
     techniques.''.
       (b) In General.--Section 303(b) of the Public Utility 
     Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (15 U.S.C. 3202) is amended 
     by inserting at the end the following new paragraphs:
       ``(3) Integrated resource planning.--Each gas utility shall 
     employ, in order to provide adequate and reliable service to 
     its gas customers at the lowest system cost. All plans or 
     filings of a State regulated gas utility before a State 
     regulatory authority to meet the requirements of this 
     paragraph shall (A) be updated on a regular basis, (B) 
     provide the opportunity for public participation and comment, 
     (C) provide for methods of validating predicted performance, 
     and (D) contain a requirement that the plan be implemented 
     after approval of the State regulatory authority. Subsection 
     (c) shall not apply to this paragraph to the extent that it 
     could be construed to require the State regulatory authority 
     to extend the record of a State proceeding in submitting 
     reports to the Federal Government.
       ``(4) Investments in conservation and demand management.--
     The rates charged by any State regulated gas utility shall be 
     such that the utility's prudent investments in, and 
     expenditures for, energy conservation and load shifting 
     programs and for other demand-side management measures which 
     are consistent with the findings and purposes of the Energy 
     Policy Act of 1992 are at least as profitable (taking into 
     account the income lost due to reduced sales resulting from 
     such programs) as prudent investments in, and expenditures 
     for, the acquisition or construction of supplies and 
     facilities. This objective requires that (A) regulators link 
     the utility's net revenues, at least in part, to the 
     utility's performance in implementing cost-effective programs 
     promoted by this section; and (B) regulators ensure that, for 
     purposes of recovering fixed costs, including its authorized 
     return, the utility's performance is not affected by 
     reductions in its retail sales volumes.''.
       (c) Impact on Small Business.--Section 303 of such Act is 
     amended by inserting the following new subsection at the end 
     thereof:
       ``(d) Small Business Impacts.--If a State regulatory 
     authority implements a standard established by subsection (b) 
     (3) or (4), such authority shall--
       ``(1) consider the impact that implementation of such 
     standard would have on small businesses engaged in the 
     design, sale, supply, installation, or servicing of energy 
     conservation, energy efficiency, or other demand-side 
     management measures, and
       ``(2) implement such standard so as to assure that utility 
     actions would not provide such utilities with unfair 
     competitive advantages over such small businesses.''.
       (d) Effective Date.--Section 303(a) of such Act is amended 
     by inserting ``(or after the enactment of the Energy Policy 
     Act of 1992 in the case of standards under paragraphs (3), 
     and (4) of subsection (b))'' after ``Act'' and by striking 
     out ``standard established by subsection (b)(2)'' in 
     paragraph (2) and inserting ``standards established by 
     paragraphs (2), (3) and (4) of subsection (b)''.
       (e) Report.--The report under section 111(e) of this Act 
     transmitted by the Secretary of Energy to the President and 
     to the Congress shall contain a survey of all State laws, 
     regulations, practices, and policies under which State 
     regulatory authorities implement the provisions of paragraphs 
     (3) and (4) of section 303(b) of the Public Utility 
     Regulatory Policies Act of 1978. The report shall include an 
     analysis, prepared in conjunction, with the Federal Trade 
     Commission, of the competitive impact of implementation of 
     energy conservation, energy efficiency, and other demand side 
     management programs by gas utilities on small businesses 
     engaged in the design, sale, supply, installation, or 
     servicing of similar energy conservation, energy efficiency, 
     or other demand-side management measures and whether any 
     unfair, deceptive, or predatory acts or practices exist, or 
     are likely to exist, from implementation of such programs.

     published in the Federal Register and supported by clear and 
     convincing evidence, that adoption of a uniform national 
     standard more stringent than such amended ASHRAE/IES Standard 
     90.1 for such product would result in significant additional 
     conservation of energy and is technologically feasible and 
     economically justified.

     determination, the rule shall establish such amended 
     standard. In determining whether a standard is economically 
     justified for the purposes of subparagraph (A), the Secretary 
     shall, after receiving views and comments furnished with 
     respect to the proposed standard, determine whether the 
     benefits of the standard exceed its burdens by, to the 
     greatest extent practicable, considering--
       ``(I) the economic impact of the standard on the 
     manufacturers and on the consumers of the products subject to 
     such standard;
       ``(II) the savings in operating costs throughout the 
     estimated average life of the product in the type (or class)

     charges for, or maintenance expenses of, the products which 
     are likely to result from the imposition of the standard;

     to result directly from the imposition of the standard;
       ``(IV) any lessening of the utility or the performance of 
     the products likely to result from the imposition of the 
     standard;
       ``(V) the impact of any lessening of competition, as 
     determined in writing by the Attorney General, that is likely 
     to result from the imposition of the standard;
       ``(VI) the need for national energy conservation; and
       ``(VII) other factors the Secretary considers relevant.
       ``(ii) The Secretary may not prescribe any amended standard 
     under this paragraph which increases the maximum allowable 
     energy use, or decreases the minimum required energy 
     efficiency, of a covered product. The Secretary may not 
     prescribe an amended standard under this subparagraph if the 
     Secretary finds (and publishes such finding) that interested 
     persons have established by a preponderance of the evidence 
     that a standard is likely to result in the unavailability in 
     the United States in any product type (or class) of 
     performance characteristics (including reliability), 
     features, sizes, capacities, and volumes that are 
     substantially the same as those generally available in the 
     United States at the time of the Secretary's finding. The 
     failure of some types (or classes) to meet this criterion 
     shall not affect the Secretary's determination of whether to 
     prescribe a standard for other types or classes.
       ``(C) A standard amended by the Secretary under this 
     paragraph shall become effective for products manufactured--
       ``(i) with respect to small commercial package air 
     conditioning and heating equipment, packaged terminal air 
     conditioners, packaged terminal heat pumps, warm-air 
     furnaces, packaged boilers, storage water heaters,

     applicable under this subsection or any lamp specified in 
     section 346, the Secretary shall inform any Federal entity 
     proposing actions which would adversely impact the energy 
     consumption or energy efficiency of such lamp of the energy 
     conservation consequences of such action. It shall be the 
     responsibility of such Federal entity to carefully consider 
     the Secretary's comments.

     to permit increased energy use or to decrease the minimum 
     required energy efficiency of any lamp to which standards are 
     applicable under this subsection if such action is warranted 
     as a result of other Federal action (including restrictions 
     on materials or processes) which would have the effect of 
     either increasing the energy use or decreasing the energy 
     efficiency of such product.

       (d) Report to Congress.--The Secretary shall, before 
     January 1, 1998, submit a report to the Congress providing 
     detailed information on actions taken to carry out this 
     section, and the progress made and problems encountered 
     thereunder.

     SEC. 502. REPLACEMENT FUEL SUPPLY AND DEMAND PROGRAM.

       (a) Establishment of Program.--The Secretary shall 
     establish a program to promote the development and use in 
     light duty motor vehicles of domestic replacement fuels. Such 
     program shall promote the replacement of petroleum motor 
     fuels with replacement fuels to the maximum extent 
     practicable. Such program shall, to the extent practicable, 
     ensure the availability of those replacement fuels that will 
     have the greatest impact in reducing oil imports, improving 
     the health of our Nation's economy and reducing greenhouse 
     gas emissions.
       (b) Development Plan and Production Goals.--Under the 
     program established under subsection (a), the Secretary, 
     before October 1, 1993, in consultation with the 
     Administrator, the Secretary of Transportation, the Secretary 
     of Agriculture, the Secretary of Commerce, and the heads of 
     other appropriate agencies, shall review appropriate 
     information and--
       (1) estimate the domestic and nondomestic production 
     capacity for replacement fuels and alternative fueled 
     vehicles needed to implement this section;
       (2) determine the technical and economic feasibility of 
     achieving the goals of producing sufficient replacement fuels 
     to replace, on an energy equivalent basis--
       (A) at least 10 percent by the year 2000; and
       (B) at least 30 percent by the year 2010,
     of the projected consumption of motor fuel in the United 
     States for each such year, with

[[Page 2621]]

     at least one half of such replacement fuels being domestic 
     fuels;
       (3) determine the most suitable means and methods of 
     developing and encouraging the production, distribution, and 
     use of replacement fuels and alternative fueled vehicles in a 
     manner that would meet the program goals described in 
     subsection (a);
       (4) identify ways to encourage the development of reliable 
     replacement fuels and alternative fueled vehicle industries 
     in the United States, and the technical, economic, and 
     institutional barriers to such development; and
       (5) determine the greenhouse gas emission implications of 
     increasing the use of replacement fuels, including an 
     estimate of the maximum feasible reduction in such emissions 
     from the use of replacement fuels.

     The Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register the 
     results of actions taken under this subsection, and provide 
     for an opportunity for public comment.

     SEC. 503. REPLACEMENT FUEL DEMAND ESTIMATES AND SUPPLY 
                   INFORMATION.

       (a) Estimates.--Not later than October 1, 1993, and 
     annually thereafter, the Secretary, in consultation with the 
     Administrator, the Secretary of Transportation, and other 
     appropriate State and Federal officials, shall estimate for 
     the following calendar year--
       (1) the number of each type of alternative fueled vehicle 
     likely to be in use in the United States;
       (2) the probable geographic distribution of such vehicles;
       (3) the amount and distribution of each type of replacement 
     fuel; and
       (4) the greenhouse gas emissions likely to result from 
     replacement fuel use.
       (b) Information.--Beginning on October 1, 1994, the 
     Secretary shall annually require--
       (1) fuel suppliers to report to the Secretary on the amount 
     of each type of replacement fuel that such supplier--
       (A) has supplied in the previous calendar year; and
       (B) plans to supply for the following calendar year;
       (2) suppliers of alternative fueled vehicles to report to 
     the Secretary on the number of each type of alternative 
     fueled vehicle that such supplier--
       (A) has made available in the previous calendar year; and
       (B) plans to make available for the following calendar 
     year; and
       (3) such fuel suppliers to provide the Secretary 
     information necessary to determine the greenhouse gas 
     emissions from the replacement fuels used, taking into 
     account the entire fuel cycle.
       (c) Protection of Information.--Information provided to the 
     Secretary under subsection (b) shall be subject to applicable 
     provisions of law protecting the confidentiality of trade 
     secrets and business and financial information, including 
     section 1905 of title 18, United States Code.

     SEC. 504. MODIFICATION OF GOALS; ADDITIONAL RULEMAKING 
                   AUTHORITY.

       (a) Examination of Goals.--Within 3 years after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, and periodically thereafter, the 
     Secretary shall examine the goals established under section 
     502(b)(2), in the context of the program goals stated under 
     section 502(a), to determine if the goals under section 
     502(b)(2), including the applicable percentage requirements 
     and dates, should be modified under this section. The 
     Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register the results 
     of each examination under this subsection and provide an 
     opportunity for public comment.
       (b) Modification of Goals.--If, after analysis of 
     information obtained in connection with carrying out 
     subsection (a) or section 502, or other information, and 
     taking into account the determination of technical and 
     economic feasibility made under section 502(b)(2), the 
     Secretary determines that goals described in section 
     502(b)(2), including the percentage requirements or dates, 
     are not achievable, the Secretary, in consultation with 
     appropriate Federal agencies, shall, by rule, establish goals 
     that are achievable, for purposes of this title. The 
     modification of goals under this section may include changing 
     the target dates specified in section 502(b)(2).
       (c) Additional Rulemaking Authority.--If the Secretary 
     determines that the achievement of goals described in section 
     502(b)(2) would result in a significant and correctable 
     failure to meet the program goals described in section 
     502(a), the Secretary shall issue such additional regulations 
     as are necessary to remedy such failure. The Secretary shall 
     have no authority under this Act to mandate the production of 
     alternative fueled vehicles or to specify, as applicable, the 
     models, lines, or types of, or marketing or pricing 
     practices, policies, or strategies for, vehicles subject to 
     this Act. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to give the 
     Secretary authority to mandate marketing or pricing 
     practices, policies, or strategies for alternative fuels or 
     to mandate the production or delivery of such fuels.

     SEC. 505. VOLUNTARY SUPPLY COMMITMENTS.

       The Secretary shall, by January 1, 1994, and thereafter, 
     undertake to obtain voluntary commitments in geographically 
     diverse regions of the United States--
       (1) from fuel suppliers to make available to the public 
     replacement fuels, including providing for the construction 
     or availability of related fuel delivery systems;
       (2) from owners of 10 or more motor vehicles to acquire and 
     use alternative fueled vehicles and alternative fuels; and
       (3) from suppliers of alternative fueled vehicles to make 
     available to the public alternative fueled vehicles and to 
     ensure the availability of necessary related services,

     in sufficient volume to achieve the goals described in 
     section 502(b)(2) or as modified under section 504, and in 
     order to meet any fleet requirement program established by 
     rule under this title. The Secretary shall periodically 
     report to the Congress on the results of efforts under this 
     section. All voluntary commitments obtained pursuant to this 
     section shall be available to the public, except to the 
     extent provided in applicable provisions of law protecting 
     the confidentiality of trade secrets and business and 
     financial information, including section 1905 of title 18, 
     United States Code.

     SEC. 506. TECHNICAL AND POLICY ANALYSIS.

       (a) Requirement.--Not later than March 1, 1995, and March 
     1, 1997, the Secretary shall prepare and transmit to the 
     President and the Congress a technical and policy analysis 
     under this section. The Secretary shall utilize the 
     analytical capability and authorities of the Energy 
     Information Administration and such other offices of the 
     Department of Energy as the Secretary considers appropriate.
       (b) Purposes.--The technical and policy analysis prepared 
     under this section shall be based on the best available data 
     and information obtainable by the Secretary under section 
     503, or otherwise, and on experience under this title and 
     other provisions of law in the development and use of 
     replacement fuels and alternative fueled vehicles, and shall 
     evaluate--
       (1) progress made in achieving the goals described in 
     section 502(b)(2), as modified under section 504;
       (2) the actual and potential role of replacement fuels and 
     alternative fueled vehicles in significantly reducing United 
     States reliance on imported oil to the extent of the goals 
     referred to in paragraph (1); and
       (3) the actual and potential availability of various 
     domestic replacement fuels and dedicated vehicles and dual 
     fueled vehicles.
       (c) Publication.--The Secretary shall publish a proposed 
     version of each analysis under this section in the Federal 
     Register for public comment before transmittal to the 
     President and the Congress. Public comment received in 
     response to such publication shall be preserved for use in 
     rulemaking proceedings under section 507.

     SEC. 507. FLEET REQUIREMENT PROGRAM.

       (a) Fleet Program Purchase Goals.--(1) Except as provided 
     in paragraph (2), the following percentages of new light duty 
     motor vehicles acquired in each model year for a fleet, other 
     than a Federal fleet, State fleet, or fleet owned, operated, 
     leased, or otherwise controlled by a covered person subject 
     to section 501, shall be alternative fueled vehicles:
       (A) 20 percent of the motor vehicles acquired in model 
     years 1999, 2000, and 2001;
       (B) 30 percent of the motor vehicles acquired in model year 
     2002;
       (C) 40 percent of the motor vehicles acquired in model year 
     2003;
       (D) 50 percent of the motor vehicles acquired in model year 
     2004;
       (E) 60 percent of the motor vehicles acquired in model year 
     2005; and
       (F) 70 percent of the motor vehicles acquired in model year 
     2006 and thereafter.
       (2) The Secretary may not establish percentage requirements 
     higher than those described in paragraph (1). The Secretary 
     may, if appropriate, and pursuant to a rule under subsection 
     (b), establish a lesser percentage requirement for any model 
     year. The Secretary may, by rule, establish a date later than 
     1998 (or model year 1999) for initiating the fleet 
     requirements under paragraph (1).
       (3) The Secretary shall publish an advance notice of 
     proposed rulemaking for the purpose of--
       (A) evaluating the progress toward achieving the goals of 
     replacement fuel use described in section 502(b)(2), as 
     modified under section 504;
       (B) identifying the problems associated with achieving 
     those goals;
       (C) assessing the adequacy and practicability of those 
     goals; and
       (D) considering all actions needed to achieve those goals.

     The Secretary shall provide for at least 3 regional hearings 
     on the advance notice of proposed rulemaking, with respect to 
     which official transcripts shall be maintained. The comment 
     period in connection with such advance notice of proposed 
     rulemaking shall be completed within 7 months after 
     publication of the advance notice.
       (4) After the completion of such advance notice of proposed 
     rulemaking, the Secretary shall publish in the Federal 
     Register a proposed rule for the rule required under 
     subsection (b), and shall provide for a public comment 
     period, with hearings, of not less than 90 days.
       (b) Early Rulemaking.--(1) Not earlier than 1 year after 
     the date of the enactment of this Act, and after carrying out 
     the requirements of subsection (a), the Secretary shall 
     initiate a rulemaking to determine whether a fleet 
     requirement program to begin in calendar year 1998 (when 
     model year 1999 begins), or such other later date as he may 
     select pursuant to subsection (a), is necessary under this 
     section. Such rule, consistent with subsection (a)(1), shall 
     establish the annual applicable model year percentage. No 
     rule under this subsection may be promulgated after December 
     15, 1996, and be enforceable. A fleet requirement program 
     shall be considered necessary and a rule therefor shall be 
     promulgated if the Secretary finds that--

[[Page 2622]]

       (A) the goal of replacement fuel use described in section 
     502(b)(2)(B), as modified under section 504, is not expected 
     to be actually achieved by 2010, or such other date as is 
     established under section 504, by voluntary means or pursuant 
     to this title or any other law without such a fleet 
     requirement program, taking into consideration the status of 
     the achievement of the interim goal described in section 
     502(b)(2)(A), as modified under section 504;
       (B) such goal is practicable and actually achievable within 
     periods specified in section 502(b)(2), as modified under 
     section 504, through implementation of such a fleet 
     requirement program in combination with voluntary means and 
     the application of other programs relevant to achieving such 
     goals; and
       (C) by 1998 (when model year 1999 begins) or the date 
     specified by the Secretary in such rule for initiating a 
     fleet requirement program--
       (i) there exists sufficient evidence to ensure that the 
     fuel and the needed infrastructure, including the supply and 
     deliverability systems, will be installed and located at 
     convenient places in the fleet areas subject to the rule and 
     will be fully operational when the rule is effective to offer 
     a reliable and timely supply of the applicable alternative 
     fuel at reasonable costs (as compared to conventional fuels) 
     to meet the fleet requirement program, as demonstrated 
     through use of the provisions of section 505(1) of this title 
     regarding voluntary commitments or other adequate, reliable, 
     and convincing forms of agreements, arrangements, or 
     representations that such fuels and infrastructure are in 
     existence or will exist when the rule is effective and will 
     be expanded as the percentages increase annually;
       (ii) there will be a sufficient number of new alternative 
     fueled vehicles from original equipment manufacturers that 
     comply with all applicable requirements of the Clean Air Act 
     and the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 
     1966;
       (iii) such new vehicles will meet the applicable non-
     Federal and non-State fleet performance requirements of such 
     fleets (including range, passenger or cargo-carrying 
     capacity, reliability, refueling capability, vehicle mix, and 
     economical operation and maintenance); and
       (iv) establishment of a fleet requirement program by rule 
     under this subsection will not result in unfair competitive 
     advantages or disadvantages, or result in undue economic 
     hardship, to the affected fleets.
       (2) The Secretary shall not promulgate a rule under this 
     subsection if he is unable to make affirmative findings in 
     the case of each of the subparagraphs under paragraph (1), 
     and each of the clauses under subparagraph (C) of paragraph 
     (1).
       (3) If the Secretary does not determine that such program 
     is necessary under this subsection, the provisions of 
     subsection (e) shall apply to the consideration in the future 
     of any fleet requirement program. The record of this 
     rulemaking, including the Secretary's findings, shall be 
     incorporated into a rulemaking under that subsection. If the 
     Secretary determines under this subsection that such program 
     is necessary, the Secretary shall not initiate the later 
     rulemaking under subsection (e).
       (c) Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.--Not later than 
     April 1, 1998, the Secretary shall publish an advance notice 
     of proposed rulemaking for the purpose of--
       (1) evaluating the progress toward achieving the goals of 
     replacement fuel use described in section 502(b)(2), as 
     modified under section 504;
       (2) identifying the problems associated with achieving 
     those goals;
       (3) assessing the adequacy and practicability of those 
     goals; and
       (4) considering all actions needed to achieve those goals.
     The Secretary shall provide for at least 3 regional hearings 
     on the advance notice of proposed rulemaking, with respect to 
     which official transcripts shall be maintained. The comment 
     period in connection with such advance notice of proposed 
     rulemaking shall be completed within 7 months after 
     publication of the advance notice.
       (d) Proposed Rule.--Before May 1, 1999, the Secretary shall 
     publish in the Federal Register a proposed rule for the rule 
     required under subsection (g), and shall provide for a public 
     comment period, with hearings, of not less than 90 days.
       (e) Determination.--(1) Not later than January 1, 2000, the 
     Secretary shall, through the rule required under subsection 
     (g), determine whether a fleet requirement program is 
     necessary under this section. Such a program shall be 
     considered necessary and a rule therefor shall be promulgated 
     if the Secretary finds that--
       (A) the goal of replacement fuel use described in section 
     502(b)(2)(B), as modified under section 504, is not expected 
     to be actually achieved by 2010, or such other date as is 
     established under section 504, by voluntary means or pursuant 
     to this title or any other law without such a fleet 
     requirement program, taking into consideration the status of 
     the achievement of the interim goal described in section 
     502(b)(2)(A), as modified under section 504; and
       (B) such goal is practicable and actually achievable within 
     periods specified in section 502(b)(2), as modified under 
     section 504, through implementation of such a fleet 
     requirement program in combination with voluntary means and 
     the application of other programs relevant to achieving such 
     goals.
       (2) The rule under subsection (b) or (g) shall also modify 
     the goal described in section 502(b)(2)(B) and establish a 
     revised goal pursuant to section 504 if the Secretary 
     determines, based on the proceeding required under subsection 
     (a) or (c), that the goal in effect at the time of that 
     proceeding is inadequate or impracticable, and not expected 
     to be achievable. Such goal as modified and established shall 
     be applicable in making the findings described in paragraph 
     (1). If the Secretary modifies the goal under this paragraph, 
     he may also modify the percentages stated in subsection 
     (a)(1) or (g)(1) and the minimum percentage stated in 
     subsection (a)(2) or (g)(2) shall be not less than 10 
     percent.
       (f) Explanation of Determination That Fleet Requirement 
     Program is Not Necessary.--If the Secretary determines, based 
     on findings under subsection (b) or (e), that a fleet 
     requirement program under this section is not necessary, the 
     Secretary shall--
       (1) by December 15, 1996, with respect to a rulemaking 
     under subsection (b); and
       (2) by January 1, 2000, with respect to a rulemaking under 
     subsection (e),

     publish such determination in the Federal Register as a final 
     agency action, including an explanation of the findings on 
     which such determination is made and the basis for the 
     determination.
       (g) Fleet Requirement Program.--(1) If the Secretary 
     determines under subsection (e) that a fleet requirement 
     program is necessary, the Secretary shall, by January 1, 
     2000, by rule require that, except as provided in paragraph 
     (2), of the total number of new light duty motor vehicles 
     acquired for a fleet, other than a Federal fleet, State 
     fleet, or fleet owned, operated, leased, or otherwise 
     controlled by a covered person under section 501--
       (A) 20 percent of the motor vehicles acquired in model year 
     2002;
       (B) 40 percent of the motor vehicles acquired in model year 
     2003;
       (C) 60 percent of the motor vehicles acquired in model year 
     2004; and
       (D) 70 percent of the motor vehicles acquired in model year 
     2005 and thereafter,

     shall be alternative fueled vehicles.
       (2) The Secretary may not establish percentage requirements 
     higher than those described in paragraph (1). The Secretary 
     may, if appropriate, and pursuant to a rule under subsection 
     (g), establish a lesser percentage requirement for any model 
     year. The Secretary may, by rule, establish a date later than 
     2002 (when model year 2003 begins) for initiating the fleet 
     requirements under paragraph (1).
       (3) Nothing in this title shall be construed as requiring 
     any fleet to acquire alternative fueled vehicles or 
     alternative fuels that do not meet the normal business 
     requirements and practices and needs of that fleet.
       (4) A vehicle operating only on gasoline that complies with 
     applicable requirements of the Clean Air Act shall not be 
     considered an alternative fueled vehicle under subsection (b) 
     or this subsection, except that the Secretary, as part of the 
     rule under subsection (b) or this subsection, may determine 
     that such vehicle should be treated as an alternative fueled 
     vehicle for purposes of this section, for fleets subject to 
     part C of title II of the Clean Air Act, taking into 
     consideration the impact on energy security and the goals 
     stated in section 502(a).
       (h) Extension of Deadlines.--The Secretary may, by notice 
     published in the Federal Register, extend the deadlines 
     established under subsections (e), (f)(2), and (g) for an 
     additional 90 days if the Secretary is unable to meet such 
     deadlines. Such extension shall not be reviewable.
       (i) Exemptions.--(1) A rule issued under subsection (b), 
     (g), or (o) shall provide for the prompt exemption by the 
     Secretary, through a simple and reasonable process, of any 
     fleet from the requirements of subsection (b), (g), or (o), 
     in whole or in part, if it is demonstrated to the 
     satisfaction of the Secretary that--
       (A) alternative fueled vehicles that meet the normal 
     requirements and practices of the principal business of the 
     fleet owner are not reasonably available for acquisition;
       (B) alternative fuels that meet the normal requirements and 
     practices of the principal business of the fleet owner are 
     not available in the area in which the vehicles are to be 
     operated; or
       (C) in the case of State and local government entities, the 
     application of such requirements would pose an unreasonable 
     financial hardship.
       (2) In the case of private fleets, if the motor vehicles, 
     when under normal operations, are garaged at personal 
     residences at night, such motor vehicles shall be exempt from 
     the requirements of subsections (b) and (g).
       (j) Conversions.--Nothing in this title or the amendments 
     made by this title shall require a fleet owner to acquire 
     conversion vehicles.
       (k) Inclusion of Law Enforcement Vehicles and Urban 
     Buses.--(1) If the Secretary determines, by rule, that the 
     inclusion of fleets of law enforcement motor vehicles in the 
     fleet requirement program established under subsection (g) 
     would contribute to achieving the goal described in section 
     502(b)(2)(B), as modified under section 504, and the 
     Secretary finds that such inclusion would not hinder the use 
     of the motor vehicles for law enforcement purposes, the 
     Secretary may include such fleets in such program. The 
     Secretary may only initiate one rulemaking under this 
     paragraph.
       (2) If the Secretary determines, by rule, that the 
     inclusion of new urban buses, as de- 

[[Page 2623]]

     fined by the Administrator under title II of the Clean Air 
     Act, in a fleet requirement program established under 
     subsection (g) would contribute to achieving the goal 
     described in section 502(b)(2)(B), as modified under section 
     504, the Secretary may include such urban buses in such 
     program, if the Secretary finds that such application will be 
     consistent with energy security goals and the needs and 
     objectives of encouraging and facilitating the greater use of 
     such urban buses by the public, taking into consideration the 
     impact of such application on public transit entities. The 
     Secretary may only initiate one rulemaking under this 
     paragraph.
       (3) Rulemakings under paragraph (1) or (2) shall be 
     separate from a rulemaking under subsection (g), but may not 
     occur unless a rulemaking is carried out under subsection 
     (g).
       (l) Consideration of Factors.--In carrying out this 
     section, the Secretary shall take into consideration energy 
     security, costs, safety, lead time requirements, vehicle 
     miles traveled annually, effect on greenhouse gases, 
     technological feasibility, energy requirements, economic 
     impacts, including impacts on workers and the impact on 
     consumers (including users of the alternative fuel for 
     purposes such as for residences, agriculture, process use, 
     and non-fuel purposes) and fleets, the availability of 
     alternative fuels and alternative fueled vehicles, and other 
     relevant factors.
       (m) Consultation and Participation of Other Federal 
     Agencies.--In carrying out this section and section 506, the 
     Secretary shall consult with the Secretary of Transportation, 
     the Administrator, and other appropriate Federal agencies. 
     The Secretary shall provide for the participation of the 
     Secretary of Transportation and the Administrator in the 
     development and issuance of the rule under this section, 
     including the public process concerning such rule.
       (n) Petitions.--As part of the rule promulgated either 
     pursuant to subsection (b) or (g) of this section, the 
     Secretary shall establish procedures for any fleet owner or 
     operator or motor vehicle manufacturer to request that the 
     Secretary modify or suspend a fleet requirement program 
     established under either subsection nationally, by region, or 
     in an applicable fleet area because, as demonstrated by the 
     petitioner, the infrastructure or fuel supply or distribution 
     system for an applicable alternative fuel is inadequate to 
     meet the needs of a fleet. In the event that the Secretary 
     determines that a modification or suspension of the fleet 
     requirement program on a regional basis would detract from 
     the nationwide character of any fleet requirement program 
     established by rule or would sufficiently diminish the 
     economies of scale for the production of alternative fueled 
     vehicles or alternative fuels and thereafter the 
     practicability and effectiveness of such program, the 
     Secretary may only modify or suspend the program nationally. 
     The procedures shall include provisions for notice and public 
     hearings. The Secretary shall deny or grant the petition 
     within 180 days after filing.
       (o) Mandatory State Fleet Programs.--(1) Pursuant to a rule 
     promulgated by the Secretary, beginning in calendar year 1995 
     (when model year 1996 begins), the following percentages of 
     new light duty motor vehicles acquired annually for State 
     government fleets, including agencies thereof, but not 
     municipal fleets, shall be alternative fueled vehicles:
       (A) 10 percent of the motor vehicles acquired in model year 
     1996;
       (B) 15 percent of the motor vehicles acquired in model year 
     1997;
       (C) 25 percent of the motor vehicles acquired in model year 
     1998;
       (D) 50 percent of the motor vehicles acquired in model year 
     1999;
       (E) 75 percent of the motor vehicles acquired in model year 
     2000 and thereafter.
       (2)(A) The Secretary shall within 18 months after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act promulgate a rule providing that 
     a State may submit a plan within 12 months after such 
     promulgation containing a light duty alternative fueled 
     vehicle plan for State fleets to meet the annual percentages 
     established under paragraph (1) for the acquisition of light 
     duty motor vehicles. The plan shall provide for the voluntary 
     conversion or acquisition or combination thereof, beyond any 
     acquisition required by this title, of such motor vehicles by 
     State, local, or private fleets, in numbers greater than or 
     equal to the number of State alternative fueled vehicles 
     required pursuant to paragraph (1).
       (B) The plan, if approved by the Secretary, would be in 
     lieu of the State meeting such annual percentages solely 
     through purchases of new State-owned vehicles. All 
     conversions or acquisitions or combinations thereof of any 
     alternative fueled vehicles under the plan must be voluntary 
     and must conform with the requirements of section 247 of the 
     Clean Air Act and must comply with applicable safety 
     requirements. The Secretary of Transportation shall within 3 
     years after enactment promulgate rules setting forth safety 
     standards in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor 
     Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 applicable to all conversions.

     SEC. 508. CREDITS.

       (a) In General.--The Secretary shall allocate a credit to a 
     fleet or covered person that is required to acquire an 
     alternative fueled vehicle under this title, if that fleet or 
     person acquires an alternative fueled vehicle in excess of 
     the number that fleet or person is required to acquire under 
     this title or acquires an alternative fueled vehicle before 
     the date that fleet or person is required to acquire an 
     alternative fueled vehicle under such title.
       (b) Allocation.--In allocating credits under subsection 
     (a), the Secretary shall allocate one credit for each 
     alternative fueled vehicle the fleet or covered person 
     acquires that exceeds the number of alternative fueled 
     vehicles that fleet or person is required to acquire under 
     this title or that is acquired before the date that fleet or 
     person is required to acquire an alternative fueled vehicle 
     under such title. In the event that a vehicle is acquired 
     before the date otherwise required, the Secretary shall 
     allocate one credit per vehicle for each year the vehicle is 
     acquired before the required date. The credit shall be 
     allocated for the same type vehicle as the excess vehicle or 
     earlier acquired vehicle.
       (c) Use of Credits.--At the request of a fleet or covered 
     person allocated a credit under this section, the Secretary 
     shall treat the credit as the acquisition of one alternative 
     fueled vehicle of the type for which the credit is allocated 
     in the year designated by that fleet or person when 
     determining whether that fleet or person has complied with 
     this title in the year designated. A credit may be counted 
     toward compliance for only one year.
       (d) Transferability.--A fleet or covered person allocated a 
     credit under this section or to whom a credit is transferred 
     under this section, may transfer freely the credit to another 
     fleet or person who is required to comply with this title. At 
     the request of the fleet or person to whom a credit is 
     transferred, the Secretary shall treat the transferred credit 
     as the acquisition of one alternative fueled vehicle of the 
     type for which the credit is allocated in the year designated 
     by the fleet or person to whom the credit is transferred when 
     determining whether that fleet or person has complied with 
     this title in the year designated. A transferred credit may 
     be counted toward compliance for only one year. In the case 
     of the alternative fuel provider program under section 501, a 
     transferred credit may be counted toward compliance only if 
     the requirement of section 501(a)(4) is met.

                Subtitle A--Exempt Wholesale Generators

     SEC. 711. PUBLIC UTILITY HOLDING COMPANY ACT REFORM.

       The Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (15 U.S.C. 
     79 and following) is amended by redesignating sections 32 and 
     33 as sections 34 and 35 respectively and by adding the 
     following new section after section 31:

     ``SEC. 32. EXEMPT WHOLESALE GENERATORS.

       ``(a) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--
       ``(1) Exempt wholesale generator.--The term `exempt 
     wholesale generator' means any person determined by the 
     Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to be engaged directly, 
     or indirectly through one or more affiliates as defined in 
     section 2(a)(11)(B), and exclusively in the business of 
     owning or operating, or both owning and operating, all or 
     part of one or more eligible facilities and selling electric 
     energy at wholesale. No person shall be deemed to be an 
     exempt wholesale generator under this section unless such 
     person has applied to the Federal Energy Regulatory 
     Commission for a determination under this paragraph. A person 
     applying in good faith for such a determination shall be 
     deemed an exempt wholesale generator under this section, with 
     all of the exemptions provided by this section, until the 
     Federal Energy Regulatory Commission makes such 
     determination. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission shall 
     make such determination within 60 days of its receipt of such 
     application and shall notify the Commission whenever a 
     determination is made under this paragraph that any person is 
     an exempt wholesale generator. Not later than 12 months after 
     the date of enactment of this section, the Federal Energy 
     Regulatory Commission shall promulgate rules implementing the 
     provisions of this paragraph. Applications for determination 
     filed after the effective date of such rules shall be subject 
     thereto.
       ``(2) Eligible facility.--The term `eligible facility' 
     means a facility, wherever located, which is either--
       ``(A) used for the generation of electric energy 
     exclusively for sale at wholesale, or
       ``(B) used for the generation of electric energy and leased 
     to one or more public utility companies; Provided, That any 
     such lease shall be treated as a sale of electric energy at 
     wholesale for purposes of sections 205 and 206 of the Federal 
     Power Act.
     Such term shall not include any facility for which consent is 
     required under subsection (c) if such consent has not been 
     obtained. Such term includes interconnecting trans- 

[[Page 2626]]

     mission facilities necessary to effect a sale of electric 
     energy at wholesale. For purposes of this paragraph, the term 
     `facility' may include a portion of a facility subject to the 
     limitations of subsection (d) and shall include a facility 
     the construction of which has not been commenced or 
     completed.
       ``(3) Sale of electric energy at wholesale.--The term `sale 
     of electric energy at wholesale' shall have the same meaning 
     as provided in section 201(d) of the Federal Power Act (16 
     U.S.C. 824(d)).
       ``(4) Retail rates and charges.--The term `retail rates and 
     charges' means rates and charges for the sale of electric 
     energy directly to consumers.
       ``(b) Foreign Retail Sales.--Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) 
     and (2) of subsection (a), retail sales of electric energy 
     produced by a facility located in a foreign country shall not 
     prevent such facility from being an eligible facility, or 
     prevent a person owning or operating, or both owning and 
     operating, such facility from being an exempt wholesale 
     generator if none of the electric energy generated by such 
     facility is sold to consumers in the United States.
       ``(c) State Consent for Existing rate-based facilities.--If 
     a rate or charge for, or in connection with, the construction 
     of a facility, or for electric energy produced by a facility 
     (other than any portion of a rate or charge which represents 
     recovery of the cost of a wholesale rate or charge) was in 
     effect under the laws of any State as of the date of 
     enactment of this section, in order for the facility to be 
     considered an eligible facility, every State commission 
     having jurisdiction over any such rate or charge must make a 
     specific determination that allowing such facility to be an 
     eligible facility (1) will benefit consumers, (2) is in the 
     public interest, and (3) does not violate State law; 
     Provided, That in the case of such a rate or charge which is 
     a rate or charge of an affiliate of a registered holding 
     company:
       ``(A) such determination with respect to the facility in 
     question shall be required from every State commission having 
     jurisdiction over the retail rates and charges of the 
     affiliates of such registered holding company; and
       ``(B) the approval of the Commission under this Act shall 
     not be required for the transfer of the facility to an exempt 
     wholesale generator.
       ``(d) Hybrids.--(1) No exempt wholesale generator may own 
     or operate a portion of any facility if any other portion of 
     the facility is owned or operated by an electric utility 
     company that is an affiliate or associate company of such 
     exempt wholesale generator.
       ``(2) Eligible Facility.--Notwithstanding paragraph (1), an 
     exempt wholesale generator may own or operate a portion of a 
     facility identified in paragraph (1) if such portion has 
     become an eligible facility as a result of the operation of 
     subsection (c).
       ``(e) Exemption of EWGS.--An exempt wholesale generator 
     shall not be considered an electric utility company under 
     section 2(a)(3) of this Act and, whether or not a subsidiary 
     company, an affiliate, or an associate company of a holding 
     company, an exempt wholesale generator shall be exempt from 
     all provisions of this Act.
       ``(f) Ownership of EWGS by Exempt Holding Companies.--
     Notwithstanding any provision of this Act, a holding company 
     that is exempt under section 3 of this Act shall be 
     permitted, without condition or limitation under this Act, to 
     acquire and maintain an interest in the business of one or 
     more exempt wholesale generators.
       ``(g) Ownership of EWGS by Registered Holding Companies.--
     Notwithstanding any provision of this Act and the 
     Commission's jurisdiction as provided under subsection (h) of 
     this section, a registered holding company shall be permitted 
     (without the need to apply for, or receive, approval from the 
     Commission, and otherwise without condition under this Act) 
     to acquire and hold the securities, or an interest in the 
     business, of one or more exempt wholesale generators.
       ``(h) Financing and Other Relationships Between EWGS and 
     Registered Holding Companies.--The issuance of securities by 
     a registered holding company for purposes of financing the 
     acquisition of an exempt wholesale generator, the guarantee 
     of securities of an exempt wholesale generator by a 
     registered holding company, the entering into service, sales 
     or construction contracts, and the creation or maintenance of 
     any other relationship in addition to that described in 
     subsection (g) between an exempt wholesale generator and a 
     registered holding company, its affiliates and associate 
     companies, shall remain subject to the jurisdiction of the 
     Commission under this Act: Provided, That--
       ``(1) section 11 of this Act shall not prohibit the 
     ownership of an interest in the business of one or more 
     exempt wholesale generators by a registered holding company 
     (regardless of where facilities owned or operated by such 
     exempt wholesale generators are located), and such ownership 
     by a registered holding company shall be deemed consistent 
     with the operation of an integrated public utility system;
       ``(2) the ownership of an interest in the business of one 
     or more exempt wholesale generators by a registered holding 
     company (regardless of where facilities owned or operated by 
     such exempt wholesale generators are located) shall be 
     considered as reasonably incidental, or economically 
     necessary or appropriate, to the operations of an integrated 
     public utility system;
       ``(3) in determining whether to approve (A) the issue or 
     sale of a security by a registered holding company for 
     purposes of financing the acquisition of an exempt wholesale 
     generator, or (B) the guarantee of a security of an exempt 
     wholesale generator by a registered holding company, the 
     Commission shall not make a finding that such security is not 
     reasonably adapted to the earning power of such company or to 
     the security structure of such company and other companies in 
     the same holding company system, or that the circumstances 
     are such as to constitute the making of such guarantee an 
     improper risk for such company, unless the Commission first 
     finds that the issue or sale of such security, or the making 
     of the guarantee, would have a substantial adverse impact on 
     the financial integrity of the registered holding company 
     system;
       ``(4) in determining whether to approve (A) the issue or 
     sale of a security by a registered holding company for 
     purposes other than the acquisition of an exempt wholesale 
     generator, or (B) other transactions by such registered 
     holding company or by its subsidiaries other than with 
     respect to exempt wholesale generators, the Commission shall 
     not consider the effect of the capitalization or earnings of 
     any subsidiary which is an exempt wholesale generator upon 
     the registered holding company system, unless the approval of 
     the issue or sale or other transaction, together with the 
     effect of such capitalization and earnings, would have a 
     substantial adverse impact on the financial integrity of the 
     registered holding company system;
       ``(5) the Commission shall make its decision under 
     paragraph (3) to approve or disapprove the issue or sale of a 
     security or the guarantee of a security within 120 days of 
     the filing of a declaration concerning such issue, sale or 
     guarantee; and
       ``(6) the Commission shall promulgate regulations with 
     respect to the actions which would be considered, for 
     purposes of this subsection, to have a substantial adverse 
     impact on the financial integrity of the registered holding 
     company system; such regulations shall ensure that the action 
     has no adverse impact on any utility subsidiary or its 
     customers, or on the ability of State commissions to protect 
     such subsidiary or customers, and shall take into account the 
     amount and type of capital invested in exempt wholesale 
     generators, the ratio of such capital to the total capital 
     invested in utility operations, the availability of books and 
     records, and the financial and operating experience of the 
     registered holding company and the exempt wholesale 
     generator; the Commission shall promulgate such regulations 
     within 6 months after the enactment of this section; after 
     such 6-month period the Commission shall not approve any 
     actions under paragraph (3), (4) or (5) except in accordance 
     with such issued regulations.
       ``(i) Application of Act to Other Eligible Facilities.--In 
     the case of any person engaged directly and exclusively in 
     the business of owning or operating (or both owning and 
     operating) all or part of one or more eligible facilities, an 
     advisory letter issued by the Commission staff under this Act 
     after the date of enactment of this section, or an order 
     issued by the Commission under this Act after the date of 
     enactment of this section, shall not be required for the 
     purpose, or have the effect, of exempting such person from 
     treatment as an electric utility company under section 
     2(a)(3) or exempting such person from any provision of this 
     Act.
       ``(j) Ownership of Exempt Wholesale Generators and 
     Qualifying Facilities.--The ownership by a person of one or 
     more exempt wholesale generators shall not result in such 
     person being considered as being primarily engaged in the 
     generation or sale of electric power within the meaning of 
     sections 3(17)(C)(ii) and 3(18)(B)(ii) of the Federal Power 
     Act (16 U.S.C. 796 (17)(C)(ii) and 796(18)(B)(ii)).
       ``(k) Protection Against Abusive Affiliate Transactions.--
       ``(1) Prohibition.--After the date of enactment of this 
     section, an electric utility company may not enter into a 
     contract to purchase electric energy at wholesale from an 
     exempt wholesale generator if the exempt wholesale generator 
     is an affiliate or associate company of the electric utility 
     company.
       ``(2) State Authority To Exempt From Prohibition.--
     Notwithstanding paragraph (1), an electric utility company 
     may enter into a contract to purchase electric energy at 
     wholesale from an exempt wholesale generator that is an 
     affiliate or associate company of the electric utility 
     company--
       ``(A) if every State commission having jurisdiction over 
     the retail rates of such electric utility company makes each 
     of the following specific determinations in advance of the 
     electric utility company entering into such contract:
       ``(i) A determination that such commission has sufficient 
     regulatory authority, resources and access to books and 
     records of the electric utility company and any relevant 
     associate, affiliate or subsidiary company to exercise its 
     duties under this subparagraph.

     Sellers; and Assurance of Adequate Fuel Supplies.--(A) To the 
     extent that a State regulatory authority requires or allows 
     electric utilities for which it has ratemaking authority to 
     consider the purchase of long-term wholesale power supplies 
     as a means of meeting electric demand, such authority shall 
     perform a general evaluation of:
       ``(i) the potential for increases or decreases in the costs 
     of capital for such utilities, and any resulting increases or 
     decreases in the retail rates paid by electric consumers, 
     that may result from purchases of long-term wholesale power 
     supplies in lieu of the construction of new generation 
     facilities by such utilities;

     defined in section 32 of the Public Utility Holding Company 
     Act of 1935) of capital structures which employ 
     proportionally greater amounts of debt than the capital 
     structures of such utilities threatens reliability or 
     provides an unfair advantage for exempt wholesale generators 
     over such utilities;

     approval or disapproval of the purchase of a particular long-
     term wholesale power supply; and
       ``(iv) whether to require as a condition for the approval

     nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a State regulatory 
     authority from taking such action, including action with 
     respect to the allowable capital structure of exempt 
     wholesale generators, as such State regulatory authority may 
     determine to be in the public interest as a result of 
     performing evaluations under the standards of subparagraph 
     (A).
       ``(D) Notwithstanding section 124 and paragraphs (1) and

     generator' shall have the same meaning as when used in the 
     Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.''.

     SEC. 715. INVESTMENT IN FOREIGN UTILITIES.

       The Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (15 U.S.C. 
     79 et seq.) is amended by inserting after section 32 the 
     following new section:

     ``SEC. 33. TREATMENT OF FOREIGN UTILITIES.

       ``(a) Exemptions for Foreign Utility Companies.--
       ``(1) In general.--A foreign utility company shall be 
     exempt from all of the provisions of this Act, except as 
     otherwise provided under this section, and shall not, for any 
     purpose under this Act, be deemed to be a public utility 
     company under section 2(a)(5), notwithstanding that the 
     foreign utility company may be a subsidiary company, an 
     affiliate, or an associate company of a holding company or of 
     a public utility company.
       ``(2) State commission certification.--Section (a)(1) shall 
     not apply or be effective unless every State commission 
     having jurisdiction over the retail electric or gas rates of 
     a public utility company that is an associate company or an 
     affiliate of a company otherwise exempted under section 
     (a)(1) (other than a public utility company that is an 
     associate company or an affiliate of a registered holding 
     company) has certified to the Commission that it has the 
     authority and resources to protect ratepayers subject to its 
     jurisdiction and that it intends to exercise its authority. 
     Such certification, upon the filing of a notice by such State 
     commission, may be revised or withdrawn by the State 
     commission prospectively as to any future acquisition. The 
     requirement of State certification shall be deemed satisfied 
     if the relevant State commission had, prior to the date of 
     enactment of this section, on the basis of prescribed 
     conditions of general applicability, determined that 
     ratepayers of a public utility company are adequately 
     insulated from the effects of diversification and the 
     diversification would not impair the ability of the State 
     commission to regulate effectively the operations of such 
     company.
       ``(3) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term 
     `foreign utility company' means any company that-
       ``(A) owns or operates facilities that are not located in 
     any State and that are used for the generation, transmission, 
     or distribution of electric energy for sale or the 
     distribution at retail of natural or manufactured gas for 
     heat, light, or power, if such company-
       ``(i) derives no part of its income, directly or 
     indirectly, from the generation, transmission, or 
     distribution of electric energy for sale or the distribution 
     at retail of natural or manufactured gas for heat, light, or 
     power, within the United States; and
       ``(ii) neither the company nor any of its subsidiary 
     companies is a public utility company operating in the United 
     States; and
       ``(B) provides notice to the Commission, in such form as 
     the Commission may prescribe, that such company is a foreign 
     utility company.
       ``(b) Ownership of Foreign Utility Companies by Exempt 
     Holding Companies.--Notwithstanding any provision of this Act 
     except as provided under this section, a holding company that 
     is exempt under section 3 of the Act shall be permitted 
     without condition or limitation under the Act to acquire and 
     maintain an interest in the business of one or more foreign 
     utility companies.
       ``(c) Registered Holding Companies.--
       ``(1) Ownership of foreign utility companies by registered 
     holding companies.--Notwithstanding any provision of this Act 
     except as otherwise provided under this section, a registered 
     holding company shall be permitted as of the date of 
     enactment of this section (without the need to apply for, or 
     receive approval from the Commission) to ac- 

[[Page 2628]]

     quire and and hold the securities or an interest in the 
     business, of one or more foreign utility companies. The 
     Commission shall promulgate rules or regulations regarding 
     registered holding companies' acquisition of interests in 
     foreign utility companies which shall provide for the 
     protection of the customers of a public utility company which 
     is an associate company of a foreign utility company and the 
     maintenance of the financial integrity of the registered 
     holding company system.
       ``(2) Issuance of securities.--The issuance of securities 
     by a registered holding company for purposes of financing the 
     acquisition of a foreign utility company, the guarantee of 
     securities of a foreign utility company by a registered 
     holding company, the entering into service, sales, or 
     construction contracts, and the creation or maintenance of 
     any other relationship between a foreign utility company and 
     a registered holding company, its affiliates and associate 
     companies, shall remain subject to the jurisdiction of the 
     Commission under this Act (unless otherwise exempted under 
     this Act, in the case of a transaction with an affiliate or 
     associate company located outside of the United States). Any 
     State commission with jurisdiction over the retail rates of a 
     public utility company which is part of a registered holding 
     company system may make such recommendations to the 
     Commission regarding the registered holding company's 
     relationship to a foreign utility company, and the Commision 
     shall reasonably and fully consider such State 
     recommendation.
       ``(3) Construction.--Any interest in the business of 1 or 
     more foreign utility companies, or 1 or more companies 
     organized exclusively to own, directly or indirectly, the 
     securities or other interest in a foreign utility company, 
     shall for all purposes of this Act, be considered to be--
       ``(A) consistent with the operation of a single integrated 
     public utility system, within the meaning of section 11; and
       ``(B) reasonably incidental, or economically necessary or 
     appropriate, to the operations of an integrated public 
     utility system, within the meaning of section 11.
       ``(d) Effect on Existing Law; No State Preemption.--Nothing 
     in this section shall--
       ``(1) preclude any person from qualifying for or 
     maintaining any exemption otherwise provided for under this 
     Act or the rules, regulations, or orders promulgated or 
     issued under this Act; or
       ``(2) be deemed or construed to limit the authority of any 
     State (including any State regulatory authority) with respect 
     to-
       ``(A) any public utility company or holding company subject 
     to such State's jurisdiction; or
       ``(B) any transaction between any foreign utility company 
     (or any affiliate or associate company thereof) and any 
     public utility company or holding company subject to such 
     State's jurisdiction.
       (e) Reporting Requirements.--
       ``(1) Filing of reports.--A public utility company that is 
     an associate company of a foreign utility company shall file 
     with the Commission such reports (with respect to such 
     foreign utility company) as the Commission may by rules, 
     regulations, or order prescribe as necessary or appropriate 
     in the public interest or for the protection of investors or 
     consumers.
       ``(2) Notice of acquisitions.--Not later than 30 days after 
     the consummation of the acquisition of an interest in a 
     foreign utility company by an associate company of a public 
     utility company that is subject to the jurisdiction of a 
     State commission with respect to its retail electric or gas 
     rates or by such public utility company, such associate 
     company or such public utility company, shall provide notice 
     of such acquisition to every State commission having 
     jurisdiction over the retail electric or gas rates of such 
     public utility company, in such form as may be prescribed by 
     the State commission.
       ``(f) Prohibition on Assumption of Liabilities.--
       ``(1) In general.--No public utility company that is 
     subject to the jurisdiction of a State commission with 
     respect to its retail electric or gas rates shall issue any 
     security for the purpose of financing the acquisition, or for 
     the purposes of financing the ownership or operation, of a 
     foreign utility company, nor shall any such public utility 
     company assume any obligation or liability as guarantor, 
     endorser, surety, or otherwise in respect of any security of 
     a foreign utility company.
       ``(2) Exception for holding companies which are 
     predominantly public utility companies.--Subsection (f)(1) 
     shall not apply if:
       ``(A) the public utility company that is subject to the 
     jurisdiction of a State commission with respect to its retail 
     electric or gas rates is a holding company and is not an 
     affiliate under section 2(a)(11)(B) of another holding 
     company or is not subject to regulation as a holding company 
     and has no affiliate as defined in section 2(a)(11)(A) that 
     is a public utility company subject to the jurisdiction of a 
     State commission with respect to its retail electric or gas 
     rates; and
       ``(B) each State commission having jurisdiction with 
     respect to the retail electric and gas rates of such public 
     utility company expressly permits such public utility to 
     engage in a transaction otherwise prohibited under section 
     (f)(1); and
       ``(C) the transaction (aggregated with all other then-
     outstanding transactions exempted under this subsection) does 
     not exceed 5 per centum of the then-outstanding total 
     capitalization of the public utility.
       ``(g) Prohibition on Pledging or Encumbering Utility 
     Assets.--No public utility company that is subject to the 
     jurisdiction of a State commission with respect to its retail 
     electric or gas rates shall pledge or encumber any utility 
     assets or utility assets of any subsidiary thereof for the 
     benefit of an associate foreign utility company.''.
   Subtitle B--Federal Power Act; Interstate Commerce in Electricity

     SEC. 721. AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 211 OF FEDERAL POWER ACT.

       Section 211 of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 824j) is 
     amended as follows:
       (1) The first sentence of subsection (a) is amended to read 
     as follows: ``Any electric utility, Federal power marketing 
     agency, or any other person generating electric energy for 
     sale for resale, may apply to the Commission for an order 
     under this subsection requiring a transmitting utility to 
     provide transmission services (including any enlargement of 
     transmission capacity necessary to provide such services) to 
     the applicant.''.
       (2) In the second sentence of subsection (a), strike ``the 
     Commission may'' and all that follows and insert ``the 
     Commission may issue such order if it finds that such order 
     meets the requirements of section 212, and would otherwise be 
     in the public interest. No order may be issued under this 
     subsection unless the applicant has made a request for 
     transmission services to the transmitting utility that would 
     be the subject of such order at least 60 days prior to its 
     filing of an application for such order.''.
       (3) Amend subsection (b) to read as follows:
       ``(b) Reliability of Electric Service.--No order may be 
     issued under this section or section 210 if, after giving 
     consideration to consistently applied regional or national 
     reliability standards, guidelines, or criteria, the 
     Commission finds that such order would unreasonably impair 
     the continued reliability of electric systems affected by the 
     order.''.
       (4) In subsection (c)--
       (A) Strike out paragraph (1).
       (B) In paragraph (2) strike ``which requires the electric''

     transmitting utility,''.
       (C) In paragraph (3), strike ``electric'' and insert 
     ``transmitting''.
       (D) Strike the period in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) 
     and insert ``, or'' and after subparagraph (B) insert the 
     following new subparagraph:
       ``(C) the ordered transmission services require enlargement 
     of transmission capacity and the transmitting utility subject 
     to the order has failed, after making a good faith effort, to 
     obtain the necessary approvals or property rights under 
     applicable Federal, State, and local laws.''.

     SEC. 722. TRANSMISSION SERVICES.

       Section 212 of the Federal Power Act is amended as follows:
       (1) Strike subsections (a) and (b) and insert the 
     following:
       ``(a) Rates, Charges, Terms, and Conditions for Wholesale 
     Transmission Services.--An order under section 211 shall 
     require the transmitting utility subject to the order to 
     provide wholesale transmission services at rates, charges, 
     terms, and conditions which permit the recovery by such 
     utility of all the costs incurred in connection with the 
     transmission services and necessary associated services, 
     including, but not limited to, an appropriate share, if any, 
     of legitimate, verifiable and economic costs, including 
     taking into account any benefits to the transmission system 
     of providing the transmission service, and the costs of any 
     enlargement of transmission facilities. Such rates, charges, 
     terms, and conditions shall promote the economically 
     efficient transmission and generation of electricity and 
     shall be just and reasonable, and not unduly discriminatory 
     or preferential. Rates, charges, terms, and conditions for 
     transmission services provided pursuant to an order under 
     section 211 shall ensure that, to the extent practicable, 
     costs incurred in providing the wholesale transmission 
     services, and properly allocable to the provision of such 
     services, are recovered from the applicant for such order and 
     not from a transmitting utility's existing wholesale, retail, 
     and transmission customers.''.
       (2) Subsection (e) is amended to read as follows:
       ``(e) Savings Provisions.--(1) No provision of section 210, 
     211, 214, or this section shall be treated as requiring any 
     person to utilize the authority of any such section in lieu 
     of any other authority of law. Except as provided in section 
     210, 211, 214, or this section, such sections shall not be 
     construed as limiting or impairing any authority of the 
     Commission under any other provision of law.
       ``(2) Sections 210, 211, 213, 214, and this section, shall 
     not be construed to modify, impair, or supersede the 
     antitrust laws. For purposes of this section, the term 
     `antitrust laws' has the meaning given in subsection (a) of 
     the first sentence of the Clayton Act, except that such term 
     includes section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act to the 
     extent that such section relates to unfair methods of 
     competition.''.
       (3) Add the following new subsections at the end thereof:

[[Page 2629]]

       ``(g) Prohibition on Orders Inconsistent with Retail 
     Marketing Areas.--No order may be issued under this Act which 
     is inconsistent with any State law which governs the retail 
     marketing areas of electric utilities.
       ``(h) Prohibition on Mandatory Retail Wheeling and Sham 
     Wholesale Transactions.--No order issued under this Act shall 
     be conditioned upon or require the transmission of electric 
     energy:
       ``(1) directly to an ultimate consumer, or
       ``(2) to, or for the benefit of, an entity if such electric 
     energy would be sold by such entity directly to an ultimate 
     consumer, unless:
       ``(A) such entity is a Federal power marketing agency; the 
     Tennessee Valley Authority; a State or any political 
     subdivision of a State (or an agency, authority, or 
     instrumentality of a State or a political subdivision); a 
     corporation or association that has ever received a loan for 
     the purposes of providing electric service from the 
     Administrator of the Rural Electrification Administration 
     under the Rural Electrification Act of 1936; a person having 
     an obligation arising under State or local law (exclusive of 
     an obligation arising solely from a contract entered into by 
     such person) to provide electric service to the public; or 
     any corporation or association which is wholly owned, 
     directly or indirectly, by any one or more of the foregoing; 
     and
       ``(B) such entity was providing electric service to such 
     ultimate consumer on the date of enactment of this subsection 
     or would utilize transmission or distribution facilities that 
     it owns or controls to deliver all such electric energy to 
     such electric consumer.
     Nothing in this subsection shall affect any authority of any 
     State or local government under State law concerning the 
     transmission of electric energy directly to an ultimate 
     consumer.''.
       ``(i) Laws Applicable to Federal Columbia River 
     Transmission System.--(1) The Commission shall have authority 
     pursuant to section 210, section 211, this section, and 
     section 213 to (A) order the Administrator of the Bonneville 
     Power Administration to provide transmission service and (B) 
     establish the terms and conditions of such service. In 
     applying such sections to the Federal Columbia River 
     Transmission System, the Commission shall assure that--
       ``(i) the provisions of otherwise applicable Federal laws 
     shall continue in full force and effect and shall continue to 
     be applicable to the system; and
       ``(ii) the rates for the transmission of electric power on 
     the system shall be governed only by such otherwise 
     applicable provisions of law and not by any provision of 
     section 210, section 211, this section, or section 213, 
     except that no rate for the transmission of power on the 
     system shall be unjust, unreasonable, or unduly 
     discriminatory or preferential, as determined by the 
     Commission.
       ``(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act with 
     respect to the procedures for the determination of terms and 
     conditions for transmission service--
       ``(A) when the Administrator of the Bonneville Power 
     Administration either (i) in response to a written request 
     for specific transmission service terms and conditions does 
     not offer the requested terms and conditions, or (ii) 
     proposes to establish terms and conditions of general 
     applicability for transmission service on the Federal 
     Columbia River Transmission System, then the Administrator 
     may provide opportunity for a hearing and, in so doing, 
     shall--
       ``(I) give notice in the Federal Register and state in such 
     notice the written explanation of the reasons why the 
     specific terms and conditions for transmission services are 
     not being offered or are being proposed;

     (1) through (3) of section 7(i) of the Pacific Northwest 
     Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 
     839(i)(1) through (3)), except that the hearing officer 
     shall, unless the hearing officer becomes unavailable to the 
     agency, make a recommended decision to the Administrator that 
     states the hearing officer's findings and conclusions, and 
     the reasons or basis thereof, on all material issues of fact, 
     law, or discretion presented on the record; and
       ``(III) make a determination, setting forth the reasons for 
     reaching any findings and conclusions which may differ from 
     those of the hearing officer, based on the hearing record, 
     consideration of the hearing officer's recommended decision, 
     section 211 and this section, as amended by the Energy Policy 
     Act of 1992, and the provisions of law as preserved in this 
     section; and
       ``(B) if application is made to the Commission under 
     section 211 for transmission service under terms and 
     conditions different than those offered by the Administrator, 
     or following the denial of a request for transmission service 
     by the Administrator, and such application is filed within 60 
     days of the Administrator's final determination and in 
     accordance with Commission procedures, the Commission shall--
       ``(i) in the event the Administrator has conducted a 
     hearing as herein provided for (I) accord parties to the 
     Administrator's hearing the opportunity to offer for the 
     Commission record materials excluded by the Administrator

     opportunity to submit for the Commission record comments on 
     appropriate terms and conditions, (III) afford those parties 
     the opportunity for a hearing if and to the extent that the 
     Commission finds the Administrator's hearing record to be 
     inadequate to support a decision by the Commission, and (IV) 
     establish terms and conditions for or deny transmission 
     service based on the Administrator's hearing record, the 
     Commission record, section 211 and this section, as amended

     hearing.
       ``(3) Notwithstanding those provisions of section 313(b) of 
     this Act (16 U.S.C. 825l) which designate the court in which 
     review may be obtained, any party to a proceeding concerning 
     transmission service sought to be furnished by the 
     Administrator of the Bonneville Power Administration seeking 
     review of an order issued by the Commission in such 
     proceeding shall obtain a review of such order in the United 
     States Court of Appeals for the Pacific Northwest, as that 
     region is defined by section 3(14) of the Pacific Northwest 
     Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 
     839a(14)).

     a result of the Administrator's other statutory mandates,

     which the Commission would otherwise order, or (B) provide 
     such service under rates, terms, and conditions which the 
     Commission would otherwise require, the applicant shall not 
     be required to provide similar transmission services to the 
     Administrator or to provide such services under similar

     region is defined in section 3(14) of the Pacific Northwest 
     Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 
     839a(14)), as is needed to assure adequate and reliable 
     service to loads in that region.
       ``(j) Equitability Within Territory Restricted Electric 
     Systems.--With respect to an electric utility which is 
     prohibited by Federal law from being a source of power 
     supply, either directly or through a distributor of its 
     electric energy, outside an area set forth in such law, no 
     order issued under section 211 may require such electric 
     utility (or a distributor of such electric utility) to 
     provide transmission services to another entity if the 
     electric energy to be transmitted will be consumed within the 
     area set forth in such Federal law, unless the order is in 
     furtherance of a sale of electric energy to that electric 
     utility: Provided, however, That the foregoing provision 
     shall not apply to any area served at retail by an electric 
     transmission system which was such a distributor on the date 
     of enactment of this subsection and which before October 1, 
     1991, gave its notice of termination under its power supply 
     contract with such electric utility.
       ``(k) ERCOT Utilities.--
       ``(1) Rates.--Any order under section 211 requiring 
     provision of transmission services in whole or in part within 
     ERCOT shall provide that any ERCOT utility which is not a 
     public utility and the transmission facilities of which are 
     actually used for such transmission service is entitled to 
     receive compensation based, insofar as practicable and 
     consistent with subsection (a), on the transmission 
     ratemaking methodology used by the Public Utility Commission 
     of Texas.
       ``(2) Definitions.--For purposes of this subsection--
       ``(A) the term `ERCOT' means the Electric Reliability 
     Council of Texas; and

     which is a member of ERCOT.''.

     SEC. 723. INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS.

       Part II of the Federal Power Act is amended by adding the 
     following new section after section 212:

     ``SEC. 213. INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS.

       ``(a) Requests for Wholesale Transmission Services.--
     Whenever any electric utility, Federal power marketing 
     agency, or any other person generating electric energy for 
     sale for resale makes a good faith request to a transmitting 
     utility to provide wholesale transmission services and

                TITLE VIII--HIGH-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE

     SEC. 801. NUCLEAR WASTE DISPOSAL.

       (a) Environmental Protection Agency Standards.--
       (1) Promulgation.--Notwithstanding the provisions of 
     section 121(a) of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (42 
     U.S.C. 10141(a)), section 161 b. of the Atomic Energy Act of 
     1954 (42 U.S.C. 2201(b)), and any other authority of the 
     Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to set 
     generally applicable standards for the Yucca Mountain site, 
     the Administrator shall, based upon and consistent with the 
     findings and recommendations of the National Academy of 
     Sciences, promulgate, by rule, public health and safety 
     standards for protection of the public from releases from 
     radioactive materials stored or disposed of in the repository 
     at the Yucca Mountain site. Such standards shall prescribe 
     the maximum annual effective dose equivalent to individual 
     members of the public from releases to the accessible 
     environment from radioactive materials stored or disposed of 
     in the repository. The standards shall be promulgated not 
     later than 1 year after the Administrator receives the 
     findings and recommendations of the National Academy of 
     Sciences under paragraph (2) and shall be the only such 
     standards applicable to the Yucca Mountain site.
       (2) Study by national academy of sciences.--Within 90 days 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
     Administrator shall contract with the National Academy of 
     Sciences to conduct a study to provide, by not later than 
     December 31, 1993, findings and recommendations on reasonable 
     standards for protection of the public health and safety, 
     including--
       (A) whether a health-based standard based upon doses to 
     individual members of the public from releases to the 
     accessible environment (as that term is defined in the 
     regulations contained in subpart B of part 191 of title 40, 
     Code of Federal Regulations, as in effect on November 18, 
     1985) will provide a reasonable standard for protection of 
     the health and safety of the general public;
       (B) whether it is reasonable to assume that a system for 
     post-closure oversight of the repository can be developed, 
     based upon active institutional controls, that will prevent 
     an unreasonable risk of breaching the repository's engineered 
     or geologic barriers or increasing the exposure of individual 
     members of the public to radiation beyond allowable limits; 
     and
       (C) whether it is possible to make scientifically 
     supportable predictions of the probability that the 
     repository's engineered or geologic barriers will be breached 
     as a result of human intrusion over a period of 10,000 years.
       (3) Applicability.--The provisions of this section shall 
     apply to the Yucca Mountain site, rather than any other 
     authority of the Administrator to set generally applicable 
     standards for radiation protection.
       (b) Nuclear Regulatory Commission Requirements and 
     Criteria.--
       (1) Modifications.--Not later than 1 year after the 
     Administrator promulgates standards under subsection (a), the 
     Nuclear Regulatory Commission shall, by rule, modify its 
     technical requirements and criteria under section 121(b) of 
     the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (42 U.S.C. 10141(b)), as 
     necessary, to be consistent with the Administrator's 
     standards promulgated under subsection (a).
       (2) Required assumptions.--The Commission's requirements 
     and criteria shall assume, to the extent consistent with the 
     findings and recommendations of the National Academy of 
     Sciences, that, following repository closure, the inclusion 
     of engineered barriers and the Secretary's post-closure 
     oversight of the Yucca Mountain site, in accordance with 
     subsection (c), shall be sufficient to--
       (A) prevent any activity at the site that poses an 
     unreasonable risk of breaching the repository's engineered or 
     geologic barriers; and
       (B) prevent any increase in the exposure of individual 
     members of the public to radiation beyond allowable limits.
       (c) Post-Closure Oversight.--Following repository closure, 
     the Secretary of Energy shall continue to oversee the Yucca 
     Mountain site to prevent any activity at the site that poses 
     an unreasonable risk of--
       (1) breaching the repository's engineered or geologic 
     barriers; or
       (2) increasing the exposure of individual members of the 
     public to radiation beyond allowable limits.

     SEC. 802. OFFICE OF THE NUCLEAR WASTE NEGOTIATOR.

       (a) Extension.--Section 410 of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act 
     of 1982 (42 U.S.C. 10250) is amended by striking ``5 years'' 
     and inserting ``7 years''.
       (b) Definition of State.--Section 401 of the Nuclear Waste 
     Policy Act of 1982 (42 U.S.C. 10241) is amended--
       (1) by striking ``States,'' the first place it appears and 
     inserting ``States and''; and
       (2) by inserting a period after ``District of Columbia'' 
     and striking the remainder of the sentence.

     SEC. 803. NUCLEAR WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN.

       (a) Preparation and Submission of Report.--The Secretary of 
     Energy, in consultation with the Nuclear Regulatory 
     Commission and the Environmental Protection Agency, shall 
     prepare and submit to the Congress a report on whether 
     current programs and plans for management of nuclear waste as 
     mandated by the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (42 U.S.C. 
     10101 et seq.) are adequate for management of any additional 
     volumes or categories of nuclear waste that might be 
     generated by any new nuclear power plants that might be 
     constructed and licensed after the date of the enactment of 
     this Act. The Secretary shall prepare the report for 
     submission to the President and the Congress within 1 year 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act. The report shall 
     examine any new relevant issues related to management of 
     spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste that 
     might be raised by the addition of new nuclear-generated 
     electric capacity, including anticipated increased volumes of 
     spent nuclear fuel or high-level radioactive waste, any need 
     for additional interim storage capacity prior to final 
     disposal, transportation of additional volumes of waste, and 
     any need for additional repositories for deep geologic 
     disposal.
       (b) Opportunity for Public Comment.--In preparation of the 
     report required under subsection (a), the Secretary of Energy 
     shall offer members of the public an opportunity to provide 
     information and comment and shall solicit the views of the 
     Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Environmental Protection 
     Agency, and other interested parties.
       (c) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized 
     to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out 
     this section.

     this Act, the Secretary shall submit a report to the Congress 
     containing the results of the study required by paragraph (1) 
     and the Secretary's recommendations for action to be taken to 
     increase the utilization of coal combustion byproducts. At a 
     minimum, such report shall identify actions that would 
     increase the utilization of coal combustion byproducts in--
       (A) bridge and highway construction;
       (B) stabilizing wastes;
       (C) procurement by departments and agencies of the Federal 
     Government and State and local governments; and
       (D) federally funded or federally subsidized procurement by 
     the private sector.

     SEC. 1335. CALCULATION OF AVOIDED COST.

       Nothing in section 210 of the Public Utility Regulatory 
     Policies Act of 1978 (Public Law 95-617) requires a State 
     regulatory authority or nonregulated electric utility to 
     treat a cost reasonably identified to be incurred or to have 
     been incurred in the construction or operation of a facility 
     or a project which has been selected by the Department of 
     Energy and provided Federal funding pursuant to the Clean 
     Coal Program authorized by Public Law 98-473 as an 
     incremental cost of alternative electric energy.

     SEC. 1336. COAL FUEL MIXTURES.

       Within one year following the date of enactment of this 
     Act, the Secretary shall submit a report to the Committee on 
     Energy and Commerce and the Committee on Science, Space, and 
     Technology of the House of Representatives and the Committee 
     on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate on the status 
     of technologies for combining coal with other materials, such 
     as oil or water fuel mixtures. The report shall include--
       (1) a technical and economic feasibility assessment of such 
     technologies;

     SEC. 1338. COAL EXPORTS.

       (a) Plan.--Within 180 days after the date of enactment of 
     this Act, the Secretary of Commerce, in cooperation with the 
     Secretary and other appropriate Federal agencies, shall 
     submit to the appropriate committees of the House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Energy and Natural 
     Resources of the Senate a plan for expanding exports of coal 
     mined in the United States.
       (b) Plan Contents.--The plan submitted under subsection (a) 
     shall include--
       (1) a description of the location, size, and projected 
     growth in potential export markets for coal mined in the 
     United States;
       (2) the identification by country of the foreign trade 
     barriers to the export of coal mined in the United States, 
     including foreign coal production and utilization subsidies,

     SEC. 1339. OWNERSHIP OF COALBED METHANE.

       (a) Federal Lands and Mineral Rights.--In the case of any 
     deposit of coalbed methane where the United States is the 
     owner of the surface estate or where the United States has 
     transferred the surface estate but reserved the subsurface 
     mineral estate, the Secretary of the Interior shall 
     administer this section. This section and the definitions 
     contained herein shall be applicable only on lands within 
     Affected States.
       (b) Affected States.--Not later than 180 days after the 
     date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Interior, 
     with the participation of the Secretary of Energy, shall 
     publish in the Federal Register a list of Affected States 
     which shall be comprised of States--
       (1) in which the Secretary of the Interior, with the 
     participation of the Secretary of Energy, determines that 
     disputes, uncertainty, or litigation exist, regarding the 
     ownership of coalbed methane gas;
       (2) in which the Secretary of the Interior, with the 
     participation of the Secretary of

[[Page 2649]]

     Energy, determines that development of significant deposits 
     of coalbed methane gas is being impeded by such existing 
     disputes, uncertainty, or litigation regarding ownership of 
     such coalbed methane;
       (3) which do not have in effect a statutory or regulatory 
     procedure or existing case law permitting and encouraging the 
     development of coalbed methane gas within that State; and
       (4) which do not have extensive development of coalbed 
     methane gas.

     The Secretary of the Interior, with the participation of the 
     Secretary of Energy, shall revise such list of Affected 
     States from time to time. Any Affected State shall be deleted 
     from the list of Affected States upon the receipt by the 
     Secretary of the Interior of a Governor's petition requesting 
     such deletion, a State law requesting such deletion, or a 
     resolution requesting such deletion enacted by the 
     legislative body of the State. A Governor intending to 
     petition the Secretary of the Interior to delete a State from 
     the list of Affected States shall provide the State's 
     legislative body with 6 months notice of such petition during 
     a legislative session. At the end of such 6-month period, the 
     Governor may petition the Secretary of the Interior to delete 
     a State from the list of Affected States, unless during such 
     6-month period, the State's legislative body has enacted a 
     law or resolution disapproving the Governor's petition. Until 
     the Secretary of the Interior, with the participation of the 
     Secretary of Energy, publishes a different list, the States 
     of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, 
     Indiana, and Illinois shall be the Affected States, effective 
     on the date of the enactment of this Act. The States of 
     Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Wyoming, Utah, Virginia, 
     Washington, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama shall not be 
     included on the Secretary of the Interior's list of Affected 
     States or any extension or revision thereof.
       (c) Failure to Adopt Statutory or Regulatory Procedure.--If 
     an Affected State has not placed in effect, by statute or by 
     regulation, a substantial program promoting the permitting, 
     drilling and production of coalbed methane wells (including 
     pooling arrangements) within that State within 3 years after 
     becoming an Affected State, the Secretary of the Interior, 
     with the participation of the Secretary of Energy, shall 
     administer this section and shall promulgate such regulations 
     as are necessary to carry out this section in that State.
       (d) Implementation by the Secretary of the Interior.--In 
     implementing this section, the Secretary of the Interior, 
     with the participation of the Secretary of Energy, shall--
       (A) consider existing and future coal mining plans,
       (B) preserve the mineability of coal seams, and
       (C) provide for the prevention of waste and maximization of 
     recovery of coal and coalbed methane gas in a manner which 
     will protect the rights of all entities owning an interest in 
     such coalbed methane resource.
       (e) Spacing.--Except where State law in an Affected State 
     contains existing spacing requirements regarding the minimum 
     distance between coalbed methane wells and the minimum 
     distance of a coalbed methane well from a property line, the 
     Secretary of the Interior shall establish such requirements 
     within 90 days after the assertion of jurisdiction pursuant 
     to subsection (c) of this section.
       (f) Spacing Units.--Applications to establish spacing units 
     for the drilling and operation of coalbed methane gas wells 
     may be filed by any entity claiming a coalbed methane 
     ownership interest within a proposed spacing unit. Upon 
     receipt and approval of an application, the Secretary of the 
     Interior shall issue an order establishing the boundaries of 
     the coalbed methane spacing unit. Spacing units shall 
     generally be uniform in size.
       (g) Development Under Pooling Arrangement.--Following 
     issuance of an order establishing a spacing unit under 
     subsection (f), and pursuant to an application for pooling 
     filed by the entity claiming a coalbed methane ownership 
     interest and proposing to drill a coalbed methane gas well, 
     the Secretary of the Interior shall hold a hearing to 
     consider the application for pooling and shall, if the 
     criteria of this section are met, issue an order allowing the 
     proposed pooling of acreage within the designated spacing 
     unit for purposes of drilling and production of coalbed 
     methane from the spacing unit. The pooling order shall not be 
     issued before notice or a reasonable and diligent effort to 
     provide notice has been made to each entity which may claim 
     an ownership interest in the coalbed methane gas within such 
     spacing unit and each such entity has been offered an 
     opportunity to appear before the Secretary of the Interior at 
     the hearing. Upon issuance of a pooling order, each owner or 
     claimant of an ownership interest shall be allowed to make 
     one of the following elections:
       (1) An election to sell or lease its coalbed methane 
     ownership interest to the unit operator at a rate determined 
     by the Secretary of the Interior as set forth in the pooling 
     order.
       (2) An election to become a participating working interest 
     owner by bearing a share of the risks and costs of drilling, 
     completing, equipping, gathering, operating (including all 
     disposal costs), plugging and abandoning the well, and 
     receiving a share of production from the well.
       (3) An election to share in the operation of the well as a 
     nonparticipating working interest owner by relinquishing its 
     working interest to participating working interest owners 
     until the proceeds allocable to its share equal 300 percent 
     of the share of such costs allocable to its interest. 
     Thereafter, the nonparticipating working interest owner shall 
     become a participating working interest owner.

     The pooling order shall designate a unit operator who shall 
     be authorized to drill and operate the spacing unit. The 
     pooling order shall provide that any entity claiming an 
     ownership interest in the coalbed methane within such spacing 
     unit which does not make an election under the pooling order 
     shall be deemed to have leased its coalbed methane interest 
     to the unit operator under such terms and conditions as the 
     pooling order may provide. No pooling order may be issued 
     under this paragraph for any spacing unit if all entities 
     claiming an ownership interest in the coalbed methane in the 
     spacing unit have entered into a voluntary agreement 
     providing for the drilling and operation of the coalbed 
     methane gas well for the spacing unit.
       (h) Escrow Account.--(1) Each pooling order issued under 
     subsection (g) shall provide for the establishment of an 
     escrow account into which the payment of costs and proceeds 
     attributable to the conflicting interests shall be deposited 
     and held for the interest of the claimants as follows:
       (A) Each participating working interest owner, except for 
     the unit operator, shall deposit in the escrow account its 
     proportionate share of the costs allocable to the ownership 
     interest claimed by each such participating working interest 
     owner as set forth in the pooling order issued by the 
     Secretary of the Interior.
       (B) The unit operator shall deposit in the escrow account 
     all proceeds attributable to the conflicting interests of 
     lessees, plus all proceeds in excess of ongoing operational 
     expenses (including reasonable overhead costs) attributable 
     to conflicting working interests.
       (2) The Secretary of the Interior shall order payment of 
     principal and accrued interest from the escrow account to all 
     legally entitled entities within 30 days of receipt by the 
     Secretary of the Interior of notification of the final legal 
     determination of entitlement or upon agreement of all 
     entities claiming an ownership interest in the coalbed 
     methane gas. Upon such final determination--
       (A) each legally entitled participating working interest 
     owner shall receive a proportionate share of the proceeds 
     attributable to the conflicting ownership interest;
       (B) each legally entitled nonparticipating working interest 
     owner shall receive a proportionate share of the proceeds 
     attributable to the conflicting ownership interest, less the 
     cost of being carried as a nonparticipating working interest 
     owner (as determined by the election of the entity under the 
     applicable pooling order);
       (C) each entity leasing (or deemed to have leased) its 
     coalbed methane ownership interest to the unit operator shall 
     receive a share of the royalty proceeds (as set out in the 
     applicable pooling order) attributable to the conflicting 
     interests of lessees; and
       (D) the unit operator shall receive the costs contributed 
     to the escrow account by each legally entitled participating 
     working interest owner.

     The Secretary of the Interior shall enact rules and 
     regulations for the administration and protection of funds 
     delivered to the escrow accounts.
       (i) Approval of the Secretary of the Interior.--No entity 
     may drill any well for the production of coalbed methane gas 
     from a coal seam, subject to the provisions of subsection 
     (g), in an Affected State unless the drilling of such well 
     has been approved by the Secretary of the Interior.
       (j) Authorization To Stimulate a Coal Seam.--(1) No 
     operator of a coalbed methane well may stimulate a coal seam 
     without the written consent of each entity which, at the time 
     that the coalbed methane operator applies for a drilling 
     permit, is operating a coal mine, or has by virtue of his 
     property rights in the coal the ability to operate a coal 
     mine, located within a horizontal or vertical distance from 
     the point of stimulation as established by the Secretary of 
     the Interior pursuant to paragraph (3) of this subsection. In 
     seeking the coal operator's consent, a coalbed methane well 
     operator shall provide the coal operator with necessary 
     information about such stimulation, including relevant 
     information to ensure compliance with coal mine safety laws 
     and rules.
       (2) In the absence of a written consent pursuant to 
     pargraph (1) and at the request of a coalbed methane 
     operator, the Secretary of the Interior shall make a 
     determination regarding stimulation of a coal seam. Such 
     request shall include an affidavit which shall--
       (A) state that an entity from which consent is required 
     pursuant to paragraph (1) has refused to provide written 
     consent;
       (B) set forth in detail the efforts undertaken by the 
     applicant to obtain such written consent;
       (C) state the known reasons for the consent not being 
     provided;
       (D) set forth the conditions and compensation, if any, 
     offered by the applicant as part of the efforts to obtain 
     consent; and
       (E) provide prima facie evidence that the method of 
     stimulation proposed by the coalbed methane operator will not 
     (i) cause unreasonable loss or damage to the coal seam 
     considering all factors, including the prospect, taking into 
     consideration the economics of the coal industry, that coal 
     seams for

[[Page 2650]]

     which no actual or proposed mining plans exist will be mined 
     at some future date, or (ii) violate mine safety 
     requirements. If a denial of consent by a coal operator is 
     based on reasons related to safety, the Secretary of the 
     Interior shall seek the views and recommendations of the 
     appropriate State or Federal coal mine safety agency. Any 
     determination by the Secretary of the Interior shall be in 
     accordance with all applicable Federal and State coal mine 
     safety laws and such views and recommendations. A 
     determination by the Secretary of the Interior approving a 
     method of stimulation may include reasonable conditions 
     including, but not limited to, conditions to mitigate, to the 
     extent practicable, economic damage to the coal seam. Any 
     determination approving or denying a method of stimulation by 
     the Secretary of the Interior shall be subject to appeal. 
     Interested entities shall be allowed to participate in and 
     comment on proceedings under this paragraph.
       (3) The Secretary of the Interior shall by rule establish, 
     for an Affected State, a region thereof, or a multi-State 
     region comprised of Affected States, the boundaries within 
     which a coalbed methane operator shall be required to obtain 
     written consent from a coal operator pursuant to paragraph 
     (1). Such boundaries shall be stated in terms of a horizontal 
     and a vertical distance from the point of stimulation and 
     shall be determined based on an evaluation of the maximum 
     length, height and depth of fracture producible in a coal 
     seam in such Affected State, region thereof, or multi-State 
     region comprised of Affected States.
       (4) The consent required under this subsection shall in no 
     way be deemed to impair, abridge, or affect any contractual 
     rights or objections arising out of a coalbed methane gas 
     contract or coalbed methane gas lease in existence as of the 
     effective date of this section between the coalbed methane 
     operator and the coal operator, and the existence of such 
     lease or contractual agreement and any extensions or renewals 
     of such lease shall be deemed to fully meet the requirements 
     of this section.
       (5) Nothing in this subsection precludes either a coal 
     operator or a coalbed methane operator from seeking in the 
     appropriate State forum compensation for the consequences of 
     a determination by the Secretary of the Interior pursuant to 
     paragraph (2).
       (k) Notice and Objection.--(1) The Secretary of the 
     Interior shall not approve the drilling of any coalbed 
     methane well unless the unit operator has notified each 
     entity which is operating, or has the ability, by virtue of 
     his property rights in the coal, to operate, a coal mine in 
     any portion of the coalbed that would be affected by such 
     well within the distances established pursuant to the rules 
     promulgated under subsection (j)(3). Any notified entity may 
     object to the drilling of such well within 30 days after 
     receipt of a notice. Upon receipt of a timely objection to 
     the drilling of any coalbed methane gas well submitted by a 
     notified entity, the Secretary of the Interior may refuse to 
     approve the drilling of the well based on any of the 
     following:
       (A) The proposed activity, due to its proximity to any coal 
     mine opening, shaft, underground workings, or to any proposed 
     extension of the coal mine, would adversely affect any 
     operating, inactive or abandoned coal mine, including any 
     coal mine already surveyed and platted but not yet being 
     operated.
       (B) The proposed activity would not conform with a coal 
     operator's development plan for an existing or proposed 
     operation.
       (C) There would be an unreasonable interference from the 
     proposed activity with present or future coal mining 
     operations, including the ability to comply with other 
     applicable laws and regulations.
       (D) The presence of evidence indicating that the proposed 
     drilling activities would be unsafe, taking into 
     consideration the dangers from creeps, squeezes or other 
     disturbances due to the extraction of coal.
       (E) The proposed activity would unreasonably interfere with 
     the safe recovery of coal, oil and gas.
       (2) In the event the Secretary of the Interior does not 
     approve the drilling of a coalbed methane well pursuant to 
     paragraph (1), the Secretary of the Interior shall consider 
     whether such drilling could be approved if the unit operator 
     modifies the proposed activities to take into account any of 
     the following:
       (A) The proposed activity could instead be reasonably done 
     through an existing or planned pillar of coal, or in close 
     proximity to an existing well or such pillar of coal, taking 
     into consideration surface topography.
       (B) The proposed activity could instead be moved to a 
     mined-out area, below the coal outcrop or to some other 
     feasible area.
       (C) The unit operator agrees to a drilling moratorium of 
     not more than two years in order to permit completion of coal 
     mining operations.
       (D) The practicality of locating the proposed spacing unit 
     or well on a uniform pattern with other spacing units or 
     wells.
       (l) Plugging.--All coalbed methane wells drilled after 
     enactment of this Act that penetrate coal seams with 
     remaining reserves shall provide for subsequent safe mining 
     through the well in accordance with standards prescribed by 
     the Secretary of the Interior, in consultation with any 
     Federal and State agencies having authority over coal mine 
     safety. Well plugging costs should be allocated in accordance 
     with State law or private contractual arrangement, as the 
     case may be.
       (m) Notice and Objection by Other Parties.--The Secretary 
     of the Interior shall not approve the drilling of any coalbed 
     methane well unless such well complies with the spacing and 
     other requirements established by the Secretary of the 
     Interior and each of the following:
       (1) The unit operator of such well has notified, or has 
     made a reasonable and diligent effort to notify, all entities 
     claiming ownership of coalbed methane to be drained by such 
     well and provided an opportunity to object in accordance with 
     requirements established by the Secretary of the Interior.
       (2) Where conflicting interests exist, an order under 
     subsection (g) establishing pooling requirements has been 
     issued.

     The notification requirements of this subsection shall be 
     additional to the notification referred to in subsection (k). 
     The Secretary of the Interior shall establish the conditions 
     under which entities claiming ownership of coalbed methane 
     may object to the drilling of a coalbed methane well.
       (n) Venting for Safety.--Nothing in this section shall be 
     construed to prevent or inhibit the entity which has the 
     right to develop and mine coal in any mine from venting 
     coalbed methane gas to ensure safe mine operations.
       (o) Other Laws.--The Secretary of the Interior shall comply 
     with all applicable Federal and State coal mine safety laws 
     and regulations.
       (p) Definitions.--As used in this section--
       (1) The term ``Affected State'' means a State listed by the 
     Secretary of the Interior, with the participation of the 
     Secretary of Energy, under subsection (b).
       (2) The term ``coalbed methane gas'' means occluded natural 
     gas produced (or which may be produced) from coalbeds and 
     rock strata associated therewith.
       (3) The term ``unit operator'' means the entity designated 
     in a pooling order to develop a spacing unit by the drilling 
     of one or more wells on the unit.
       (4) The term ``nonparticipating working interest owner'' 
     means a gas or oil owner of a tract included in a spacing 
     unit which elects to share in the operation of the well on a 
     carried basis by agreeing to have its proportionate share of 
     the costs allocable to its interest charged against its share 
     of production of the well in accordance with subsection

       (b) Scope of Rulemaking.--Issues to be considered in the 
     rulemaking proceeding to be conducted under subsection (a) 
     shall include the following:
       (1) Identification of information to be filed with an oil 
     pipeline tariff and the availability to the public of any

     procedural changes relating to oil pipeline rates which the 
     Commission determines are necessary to avoid unnecessary 
     regulatory costs and delays and for which additional 
     legislative authority may be necessary.
       (d) Withdrawal of Tariffs and Complaints.--
       (1) Withdrawal of tariffs.--If an oil pipeline tariff which

       (e) Alternative Dispute Resolution.--To the maximum extent 
     practicable, the Commission shall establish appropriate 
     alter- 

[[Page 2656]]

     native dispute resolution procedures, including required

     proposed rates derived from implementation of such procedures 
     shall be considered by the Commission on an expedited basis 
     for approval.

     SEC. 1803. PROTECTION OF CERTAIN EXISTING RATES.

       (a) Rates Deemed Just and Reasonable.--Except as provided 
     in subsection (b)--
       (1) any rate in effect for the 365-day period ending on the 
     date of the enactment of this Act shall be deemed to be just 
     and reasonable (within the meaning of section 1(5) of the 
     Interstate Commerce Act); and
       (2) any rate in effect on the 365th day preceding the date 
     of such enactment shall be deemed to be just and reasonable 
     (within the meaning of such section 1(5)) regardless of 
     whether or not, with respect to such rate, a new rate has 
     been filed with the Commission during such 365-day period;

     if the rate in effect, as described in paragraph (1) or (2), 
     has not been subject to protest, investigation, or complaint 
     during such 365-day period.
       (b) Changed Circumstances.--No person may file a complaint 
     under section 13 of the Interstate Commerce Act against a 
     rate deemed to be just and reasonable under subsection (a) 
     unless--
       (1) evidence is presented to the Commission which 
     establishes that a substantial change has occurred after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act--
       (A) in the economic circumstances of the oil pipeline which 
     were a basis for the rate; or
       (B) in the nature of the services provided which were a 
     basis for the rate; or
       (2) the person filing the complaint was under a contractual 
     prohibition against the filing of a complaint which was in 
     effect on the date of enactment of this Act and had been in 
     effect prior to January 1, 1991, provided that a complaint by 
     a party bound by such prohibition is brought within 30 days 
     after the expiration of such prohibition.

     If the Commission determines pursuant to a proceeding 
     instituted as a result of a complaint under section 13 of the 
     Interstate Commerce Act that the rate is not just and 
     reasonable, the rate shall not be deemed to be just and 
     reasonable. Any tariff reduction or refunds that may result 
     as an outcome of such a complaint shall be prospective from 
     the date of the filing of the complaint.
       (c) Limitation Regarding Unduly Discriminatory or 
     Preferential Tariffs.--Nothing in this section shall prohibit 
     any aggrieved person from filing a complaint under section 13 
     or section 15(l) of the Interstate Commerce Act challenging 
     any tariff provision as unduly discriminatory or unduly 
     preferential.

     partnership to a partner, such partner shall be treated as 
     recognizing gain in an amount equal to the lesser of--

     a remining operation that was not contemplated by the 
     applicable surface coal mining and reclamation permit; and
       ``(34) the term `lands eligible for remining' means those 
     lands that would otherwise be eligible for expenditures under 
     section 404 or under section 402(g)(4).''.
       (d) Eligibility.--Section 404 of the Surface Mining Control 
     and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1234) is amended by 
     adding the following new sentence at the end thereof: 
     ``Surface coal mining operations on lands eligible for 
     remining shall not affect the eligibility of such lands for 
     reclamation and restoration under this title after the 
     release of the bond or deposit for any such operation as 
     provided under section 519. In the event the bond or deposit 
     for a surface coal mining operation on lands eligible for 
     remining is forfeited, funds available under this title may 
     be used if the amount of such bond or deposit is not 
     sufficient to provide for adequate reclamation or abatement, 
     except that if conditions warrant the Secretary shall 
     immediately exercise his authority under section 410.''.
       (e) Abandoned Coal Refuse Sites.--(1) Notwithstanding any 
     other provision of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation 
     Act of 1977 to the contrary, the Secretary of the Interior 
     shall, within one year after the enactment of this Act, 
     publish proposed regulations in the Federal Register, and 
     after opportunity for public comment publish final 
     regulations, establishing environmental protection 
     performance and reclamation standards, and separate permit 
     systems applicable to operations for the on-site reprocessing 
     of abandoned coal refuse and operations for the removal of 
     abandoned coal refuse on lands that would otherwise be 
     eligible for expenditure under section 404 and section 
     402(g)(4) of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act 
     of 1977.
       (2) The standards and permit systems referred to in 
     paragraph (1) shall distinguish between those operations 
     which reprocess abandoned coal refuse on-site, and those 
     operations which completely remove abandoned coal refuse from 
     a site for the direct use of such coal refuse, or for the 
     reprocessing of such coal refuse, at another location. Such 
     standards and permit systems shall be premised on the 
     distinct differences between operations for the on-site 
     reprocessing, and operations for the removal, of abandoned 
     coal refuse and other types of surface coal mining 
     operations.
       (3) The Secretary of the Interior may devise a different 
     standard than any of those set forth in section 515 and 
     section 516 of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act 
     of 1977, and devise a separate permit system, if he 
     determines, on a standard-by-standard basis, that a different 
     standard may facilitate the on-site reprocessing, or the 
     removal, of abandoned coal refuse in a manner that would 
     provide the same level of environmental protection as under 
     section 515 and section 516.
       (4) Not later than 30 days prior to the publication of the 
     proposed regulations referred to in this subsection, the 
     Secretary shall submit a report to the Committee on Interior 
     and Insular Affairs of the United States House of 
     Representatives, and the Committee on Energy and Natural 
     Resources of the United States Senate containing a detailed 
     description of any environmental protection performance and 
     reclamation standards, and separate permit systems, devised 
     pursuant to this subsection.

     SEC. 2505. FEDERAL LIGNITE COAL ROYALTIES.

       (a) Coal in Fort Union Region.--Notwithstanding any other 
     provision of law, or any regulation or guideline issued 
     thereunder, the Secretary of the Interior may determine, with 
     respect to lignite coal in the Fort Union region, a lesser 
     royalty than the royalty specified under section 7 of the 
     Mineral Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 207). Any lesser royalty 
     granted under this section, or under section 39 of the 
     Mineral Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 209) after March 29, 1990, for 
     lignite coal in the Fort Union region shall continue for a 
     term of at least 10 years from the effective date of such 
     reduction.
       (b) Review and Extension.--Within 10 years after the date 
     of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Interior shall 
     review the effect of any royalty reduction pursuant to 
     subsection (a) on the production of coal. If the Secretary

     the last business day of the month following the month in 
     which such moneys or associated reports are received by the 
     Secretary of the Interior, whichever is later. The Secretary 
     shall pay interest to a State on any amount not paid to the 
     State within that time at the rate prescribed under section 
     111 of the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act of 1982 
     from the date payment was required to be made under this 
     subsection until the date payment is made.''.
       (b) Authority To Manage Certain Mineral Leases.--The 
     Mineral Leasing Act for Acquired Lands (30 U.S.C. 351 and 
     following) is amended by adding the following new section at 
     the end thereof:

     ``SEC. 11. AUTHORITY TO MANAGE CERTAIN MINERAL LEASES.

       ``Each department, agency and instrumentality of the United 
     States which administers lands acquired by the United States 
     with one or more existing mineral lease shall transfer to the 
     Secretary of the Interior the authority to administer such 
     lease and to collect all receipts due and payable to the 
     United States under the lease. In the case of lands acquired 
     on or before the date of the enactment of this section, the 
     authority to administer the leases and collect receipts shall 
     be transferred to the Secretary of the Interior as 
     expeditiously as practicable after the date of enactment of 
     this section. In the case of lands acquired after the date of 
     enactment of this section, such authority shall be vested 
     with the Secretary at the time of acquisition. The provisions 
     of section 6 of this Act shall apply to all receipts derived 
     from such leases where such receipts are due and payable to 
     the United States under the lease in the same manner as such 
     provisions apply to receipts derived from leases issued under 
     the authority of this Act. For purposes of this section, the 
     term `existing mineral lease' means any lease in existence at 
     the time land is acquired by the United States. Nothing in 
     this section shall be construed to affect the existing 
     surface management authority of any Federal agency.''.
       (c) Clarification.--Section 7 of the Act of August 18, 
     1941, ch. 377 (33 U.S.C. 701c-3) is amended by adding the 
     following sentence at the end thereof: ``For the purposes of 
     this section, the term `money' includes, but is not limited 
     to, such bonuses, royalties and rentals (and any interest or 
     other charge

[[Page 2683]]

     paid to the United States by reason of the late payment of 
     any royalty, rent, bonus or other amount due to the United 
     States) paid to the United States from a mineral lease issued 
     under the authority of the Mineral Leasing Act for Acquired 
     Lands or paid to the United States from a mineral lease in 
     existence at the time of the acquisition of the land by the 
     United States.''.

     SEC. 2507. RESERVED OIL AND GAS.

       (a) In General.--Section 17(b) of the Mineral Leasing Act 
     (30 U.S.C. 226(b)) is amended as follows--
       (1) In paragraph (1)(A), strike out ``under paragraph (2)'' 
     and insert in lieu thereof ``under paragraphs (2) and (3)''.
       (2) Adding at the end thereof the following new paragraph:
       ``(3)(A) If the United States held a vested future interest 
     in a mineral estate that, immediately prior to becoming a 
     vested present interest, was subject to a lease under which 
     oil or gas was being produced, or had a well capable of 
     producing, in paying quantities at an annual average 
     production volume per well per day of either not more than 15 
     barrels per day of oil or condensate, or not more than 60,000 
     cubic feet of gas, the holder of the lease may elect to 
     continue the lease as a noncompetitive lease under subsection 
     (c)(1).
       ``(B) An election under this paragraph is effective--
       ``(i) in the case of an interest which vested after January

     date of enactment of this paragraph; and
       ``(iii) in any case other than those described in clause 
     (i) or (ii), if the election is made prior to the interest 
     becoming a vested present interest.
       ``(C) Notwithstanding the consent requirement referenced in 
     section 3 of the Mineral Leasing Act for Acquired Lands (30 
     U.S.C. 352), the Secretary shall issue a noncompetitive lease 
     under subsection (c)(1) to a holder who makes an election 
     under subparagraph (A) and who is qualified to hold a lease 
     under this Act. Such lease shall be subject to all terms and 
     conditions under this Act that are applicable to leases 
     issued under subsection (c)(1).
       ``(D) A lease issued pursuant to this paragraph shall 
     continue so long as oil or gas continues to be produced in 
     paying quantities.
       ``(E) This paragraph shall apply only to those lands under 
     the administration of the Secretary of Agriculture where the 
     United States acquired an interest in such lands pursuant to 
     the Act of March 1, 1911 (36 Stat. 961 and following).''.
       (b) Effective Date.--The amendments made by subsection (a) 
     apply with respect to those mineral estates in which the 
     interest of the United States becomes a vested present 
     interest after January 1, 1990.

     SEC. 2508. CERTAIN OUTSTANDING OIL AND GAS.

       (a) In General.--Section 17 of the Mineral Leasing Act (30 
     U.S.C. 226) is amended by adding the following new subsection

     development of oil and gas deposits on lands described under 
     paragraph (5), the Secretary of Agriculture shall require, 
     pursuant to regulations promulgated by the Secretary, that 
     such activities be subject to terms and conditions as 
     provided under paragraph (2).
       ``(2) The terms and conditions referred to in paragraph (1) 
     shall require that reasonable advance notice be furnished to 
     the Secretary of Agriculture at least 60 days prior to the 
     commencement of surface disturbing activities.
       ``(3) Advance notice under paragraph (2) shall include each 
     of the following items of information:

     Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to affect any 
     authority of the State in which the lands concerned are 
     located to impose any requirements with respect to such oil 
     and gas operations.
       ``(4) The person proposing to develop oil and gas deposits 
     on lands described under paragraph (5) shall either--
       ``(A) permit the Secretary to market merchantable timber 
     owned by the United States on lands subject to such 
     activities; or
       ``(B) arrange to purchase merchantable timber on lands 
     subject to such surface disturbing activities from the 
     Secretary of Agriculture, or otherwise arrange for the 
     disposition of such merchantable timber, upon such terms and 
     upon such advance notice of the items referred to in 
     subparagraphs (A) through (E) of paragraph (3) as the 
     Secretary may accept.
       ``(5)(A) The lands referred to in this subsection are those 
     lands referenced in subparagraph (B) which are under the 
     administration of the Secretary of Agriculture where the 
     United States acquired an interest in such lands pursuant to 
     the Act of March 1, 1911 (36 Stat. 961 and following), but 
     does not have an interest in oil and gas deposits that may be 
     present under such lands. This subsection does not apply to 
     any such lands where, under the provisions of its acquisition 
     of an interest in the lands, the United States is to acquire 
     any oil and gas deposits that may be present under such lands 
     in the future but such interest has not yet vested with the 
     United States.

     owner or owners, or (2) separately and as an alternative, 
     disclaim and relinquish by a document in any form suitable 
     for recordation in the county within which the lands are 
     situated, all right, title and interest or claim of interest 
     of the United States to those lands in the counties of Hot 
     Springs, Park and Washakie in the State of Wyoming, held

     claim who has filed a patent application and received first 
     half final certificate for patent by date of enactment of 
     this Act, may obtain a patent pursuant to the general mining 
     laws of the United States.
       (c) Patent.--(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, the holder of a valid oil shale mining claim who has

     enactment of this Act but has not received first half final 
     certificate for patent by the date of enactment of this Act 
     may receive only a patent limited to the oil shale and 
     associated minerals, upon payment of $2.50 per acre. Title to 
     the surface and to all other minerals, including, but not 
     limited to, oil, gas, and coal, shall remain in the United 
     States. Patents issued pursuant to this subsection shall 
     provide for surface use to the same extent as is provided

[[Page 2690]]

       (1) there is growing mutual economic interdependence among 
     the countries of the Western Hemisphere;
       (2) energy and environmental issues are intrinsically 
     linked and must be considered together when formulating 
     policy on the broader issue of sustainable economic 
     development for the Western Hemisphere as a whole;
       (3) when developing their respective energy 
     infrastructures, countries in the Western Hemisphere must 
     consider existing and emerging environmental constraints, and 
     do so in a way that results in sustainable long-term economic 
     growth;
       (4) the coordination of respective national energy and 
     environmental policies of the governments of the Western 
     Hemisphere could be substantially improved through regular 
     consultation among these countries;
       (5) the development, production and consumption of energy 
     can affect environmental quality, and the environmental 
     consequences of energy-related activities are not confined 
     within national boundaries, but are regional and global in 
     scope;
       (6) although the Western Hemisphere is richly endowed with 
     indigenous energy resources, an insufficient energy supply 
     would severely constrain future opportunities for sustainable 
     economic development and growth in each of these member 
     countries; and
       (7) the energy markets of the United States are linked with 
     those in other countries of the Western Hemisphere and the

       (B) bear interest (exclusive of the guarantee fee under 
     section 404 and service charges, if any) at a rate agreed 
     upon by the borrower and the lender and determined by the 
     Secretary to be reasonable, which may not exceed the rate 
     generally charged in the area (as determined by the 
     Secretary) for home mortgage loans not guaranteed or insured 
     by any agency or instrumentality of the Federal Government;
       (C) involve a principal obligation not exceeding--
       (i) an amount equal to the sum of (I) 97 percent of $25,000

     paragraph as evidence of the guarantee.
       (2) Standard for approval.--The Secretary may approve a

     paragraph by the Secretary shall be conclusive evidence of 
     the eligibility of the loan for guarantee under the 
     provisions of this section and the amount of such guarantee. 
     Such evidence shall be incontestable in the hands of the 
     bearer and the full faith and credit of the United States is 
     pledged to the payment of all amounts agreed to be paid by 
     the Secretary as security for such obligations.
       (4) Fraud and misrepresentation.--This subsection may not

     or disbursement, whichever is earlier, partial defenses to

     guarantee fee for the guarantee of loans under this section, 
     which may not exceed the amount equal to 1 percent of the 
     principal obligation of the loan. The fee shall be paid by 
     the lender at time of issuance of the guarantee and shall be 
     adequate, in the determination of the Secretary, to cover

     fees collected under this subsection in the Indian Housing 
     Loan Guarantee Fund established under subsection (i).
       (e) Liability Under Guarantee.--The liability under a 
     guarantee provided under this section shall decrease or

     provision of law, any loan guaranteed under this section,

     Government or of any State or the District of Columbia.
       (g) Disqualification of Lenders and Civil Money 
     Penalties.--
       (1) In general.--If the Secretary determines that any 
     lender or holder of a guarantee certificate under subsection 
     (c) has failed to maintain adequate accounting records, to 
     adequately service loans guaranteed under this section, to 
     exercise proper credit or underwriting judgment, or has 
     engaged in practices otherwise detrimental to the interest of 
     a borrower or the United States, the Secretary may--
       (A) refuse, either temporarily or permanently, to guarantee 
     any further loans made by such lender or holder;
       (B) bar such lender or holder from acquiring additional 
     loans guaranteed under this section; and
       (C) require that such lender or holder assume not less than 
     10 percent of any loss on further loans made or held by the 
     lender or

[[Page 2715]]

     holder that are guaranteed under this section.
       (2) Civil money penalties for intentional violations.--If 
     the Secretary determines that any lender or holder of a 
     guarantee certificate under subsection (c) has intentionally 
     failed to maintain adequate accounting records, to adequately 
     service loans guaranteed under this section, or to exercise 
     proper credit or underwriting judgment, the Secretary may 
     impose a civil money penalty on such lender or holder in the 
     manner and amount provided under section 536 of the National 
     Housing Act with respect to mortgagees and lenders under such 
     Act.
       (3) Payment on loans made in good faith.--Notwithstanding 
     paragraphs (1) and (2), the Secretary may not refuse to pay 
     pursuant to a valid guarantee on loans of a lender or holder 
     barred under this subsection if the loans were previously 
     made in good faith.
       (h) Payment Under Guarantee.--
       (1) Lender options.--
       (A) In general.--In the event of default by the borrower on 
     a loan guaranteed under this section, the holder of the 
     guarantee certificate shall provide written notice of the 
     default to the Secretary. Upon providing such notice, the 
     holder of the guarantee certificate shall be entitled to 
     payment under the guarantee (subject to the provisions of 
     this section) and may proceed to obtain payment in one of the 
     following manners:
       (i) Foreclosure.--The holder of the certificate may 
     initiate foreclosure proceedings in a court of competent 
     jurisdiction (after providing written notice of such action 
     to the Secretary) and upon a final order by the court 
     authorizing foreclosure and submission to the Secretary of a 
     claim for payment under the guarantee, the Secretary shall 
     pay to the holder of the certificate the pro rata portion of 
     the amount guaranteed (as determined pursuant to subsection 
     (e)) plus reasonable fees and expenses as approved by the 
     Secretary. The Secretary shall be subrogated to the rights of 
     the holder of the guarantee and the lender holder shall 
     assign the obligation and security to the Secretary.
       (ii) No foreclosure.--Without seeking a judicial 
     foreclosure (or in any case in which a foreclosure proceeding 
     initiated under clause (i) continues for a period in excess 
     of 1 year), the holder of the guarantee may submit to the 
     Secretary a claim for payment under the guarantee and the 
     Secretary shall only pay to such holder for a loss on any 
     single loan an amount equal to 90 percent of the pro rata 
     portion of the amount guaranteed (as determined under 
     subsection (e)). The Secretary shall be subrogated to the 
     rights of the holder of the guarantee and the holder shall 
     assign the obligation and security to the Secretary.
       (B) Requirements.--Before any payment under a guarantee is 
     made under subparagraph (A), the holder of the guarantee 
     shall exhaust all reasonable possibilities of collection. 
     Upon payment, in whole or in part, to the holder, the note or 
     judgment evidencing the debt shall be assigned to the United 
     States and the holder shall have no further claim against the 
     borrower or the United States. The Secretary shall then take 
     such action to collect as the Secretary determines 
     appropriate.
       (2) Assignment by secretary.--Notwithstanding paragraph 
     (1), upon receiving notice of default on a loan guaranteed 
     under this section from the holder of the guarantee, the 
     Secretary may accept assignment of the loan if the Secretary 
     determines that the assignment is in the best interests of 
     the United States. Upon assignment the Secretary shall pay to 
     the holder of the guarantee the pro rata portion of the 
     amount guaranteed (as determined under subsection (e)). The 
     Secretary shall be subrogated to the rights of the holder of 
     the guarantee and the holder shall assign the obligation and 
     security to the Secretary.
       (3) Limitations on liquidation.--In the event of a default 
     by the borrower on a loan guaranteed under this section 
     involving a security interest in tribal allotted or trust 
     land, the Secretary shall only pursue liquidation after 
     offering to transfer the account to an eligible tribal 
     member, the tribe, or the Indian housing authority serving 
     the tribe or tribes. If the Secretary subsequently proceeds 
     to liquidate the account, the Secretary shall not sell, 
     transfer, or otherwise dispose of or alienate the property 
     except to one of the entities described in the preceding 
     sentence.
       (i) Indian Housing Loan Guarantee Fund.--

     the United States the Indian Housing Loan Guarantee Fund for 
     the purpose of providing loan guarantees under this section.

     program under section 23 of the public housing agency 
     providing the assistance; or

     employment or other sources (other than public assistance), 
     as determined in accordance with requirements of the 
     Secretary, that is not less than twice the payment standard 
     established by the public housing agency (or such other

     this subsection shall be the amount by which the fair market 
     rental for the area established under subsection (c)(1) 
     exceeds 30 percent of the family's monthly adjusted income; 
     except that the monthly assistance payment shall not exceed 
     the amount by which the monthly homeownership expenses, as 
     determined in accordance with requirements established by the 
     Secretary, exceeds 10 percent of the family's monthly income.
       ``(B) Exclusion of equity from income.--For purposes of 
     determining the monthly assistance payment for a family, the 
     Secretary shall not include in family income an amount 
     imputed from the equity of the family in a dwelling occupied 
     by the family with assistance under this subsection.

     loan made for the purchase of a dwelling. Such resources may 
     include amounts from any escrow account for the family

     the Secretary, including assistance under the HOME Investment 
     Partnerships Act, the Homeownership and Opportunity Through 
     HOPE Act, title II of the Housing and Community Development

     defaults under a mortgage for the dwelling insured by the 
     Secretary under the National Housing Act, the family may not 
     continue to receive rental assistance under this section

     title to the dwelling, (ii) moves from the dwelling within 
     the period established or approved by the Secretary, and

     use up to 50 percent of the amount in its escrow account 
     established under paragraph (3) for a downpayment on the 
     dwelling. In addition, after the family purchases the 
     dwelling, the family may use any amounts remaining in the 
     escrow account to cover the costs of major repair and 
     replacement needs of the dwelling. If a family defaults in 
     connection with the loan to purchase a dwelling and the 
     mortgage is foreclosed, the remaining amounts in the escrow 
     account shall be recaptured by the Secretary.''.

     mortgage pilot program as described under this subsection,

     nationwide.
       (b) Expansion of Program.--Not later than the expiration of 
     the 2-year period beginning on the date of the implementation 
     of the energy efficient mortgage pilot program under this 
     section, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall 
     expand the pilot program on a nationwide basis and shall 
     expand the program to include new residential housing, unless 
     the Secretary determines that either such expansion would not 
     be practicable in which case the Secretary shall submit to 
     the Congress, before the expiration of such period, a report 
     explaining why either expansion would not be practicable.
       (c) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:
       (1) The term ``base loan'' means any mortgage loan for a 
     residential building eligible for insurance under title II of 
     the National Housing Act or title 38, United States Code, 
     that does not include the cost of cost-effective energy 
     improvements.
       (2) The term ``cost-effective'' means, with respect to 
     energy efficiency improvements to a residential building, 
     improvements that result in the total present value cost of 
     the improvements (including any maintenance and repair 
     expenses) being less than the total present value of the 
     energy saved over the useful life of the improvement, when 
     100 percent of the cost of improvements is added to the base 
     loan. For purposes of this paragraph, savings and cost-
     effectiveness shall be determined pursuant to a home energy 
     rating report sufficient for purposes of the Federal National 
     Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage 
     Corporation, or by other technically accurate methods.
       (3) The term ``energy efficient mortgage'' means a mortgage 
     on a residential building that recognizes the energy savings 
     of a home that has cost-effective energy saving construction 
     or improvements (including solar water heaters, solar-
     assisted air conditioners and ventilators, super-insulation, 
     and insulating glass and film) and that has the effect of not 
     disqualifying a borrower who, but for the expenditures on 
     energy saving construction or improvements, would otherwise 
     have qualified for a base loan.
       (4) The term ``residential building'' means any attached or 
     unattached single family residence.
       (d) Rule of Construction.--This section may not be 
     construed to affect any other programs of the Secretary of 
     Housing and Urban Development for energy-efficient mortgages. 
     The pilot program carried out under this section shall not 
     replace or result in the termination of such other programs.
       (e) Regulations.--The Secretary shall issue any regulations 
     necessary to carry out this section not later than the 
     expiration of the 180-day period beginning on the date of the 
     enactment of this Act. The regulations shall be issued after 
     notice and opportunity for public comment pursuant to the 
     provisions of section 553 of title 5, United States Code 
     (notwithstanding subsections (a)(2), (b)(B), and (d)(3) of 
     such section).

     to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out

     to mortgages insured under title II of the National Housing 
     Act.
       (b) Scope of Study.--The study shall analyze--
       (1) the extent to which home sellers and builders use such 
     warranties and plans,
       (2) how such warranties and plans affect the single family

     the solvency of the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund,
       (3) any effects on homeowners of reliance upon such 
     warranties and plans,
       (4) the cost of inspections of mortgaged homes not covered 
     by such warranties or plans,
       (5) how quickly the issuers of such warranties and plans 
     pay claims to homeowners under the warranties and plans,
       (6) how well such warranties and plans provide for the 
     prevention of structural damage before damage occurs,
       (7) how responsive the issuers are to homeowner complaints,
       (8) the extent to which homeowners are adequately informed 
     of the extent of insurance coverage, the complaint 
     procedures, and the arbitration procedures available to them 
     under such warranties and plans,
       (9) the extent to which the arbitration process used to 
     settle claims under such warranties and plans provides fair 
     and reasonable relief for homeowners,
       (10) how well homeowners are informed of their right to 
     appeal the decision of such arbitrators to the Secretary,
       (11) whether the reporting and inspection requirements to 
     which such warranties and plans are subject provide the 
     Secretary with sufficient information to verify that such 
     warranties and plans are acceptable,
       (12) whether dwellings covered by such warranties and plans 
     satisfy all requirements which would have been applicable if 
     such dwellings had been approved for mortgage insurance by 
     the Secretary before the beginning of construction, and
       (13) any other issues relating to such warranties and plans 
     that the Secretary considers appropriate.
       (c) Report.--The Secretary shall submit a report to the 
     Congress regarding the findings of the study and any 
     recommendations of the Secretary resulting from the study,

     shall carry out programs through the Federal Housing 
     Administration to demonstrate the effectiveness of providing 
     new forms of Federal credit enhancement for multifamily 
     loans. In carrying out demonstration programs, the Secretary 
     shall include an evaluation of the effectiveness of entering 
     into partnerships or other contractual arrangements including 
     reinsurance and risk-sharing agreements with State or local 
     housing finance agencies, the Federal Housing Finance Board, 
     the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home 
     Loan Mortgage Corporation, qualified financial institutions, 
     and other State or local mortgage insurance companies or bank 
     lending consortia.
       (b) Risk-Sharing Pilot Program.--
       (1) In general.--The Secretary shall carry out a pilot 
     program through the Federal Housing Administration to provide 
     for risk sharing related to mortgages on multifamily housing.
       (2) Authority for reinsurance agreements.--The Secretary 
     may enter into reinsurance agreements (as such term is 
     defined in section 544) with the Federal National Mortgage 
     Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, 
     qualified financial institutions, qualified housing finance 
     agencies, and the Federal Housing Finance Board. The 
     agreements may provide for risk-sharing and other forms of 
     credit enhancement with respect to mortgage lending on 
     multifamily housing, including reinsurance with respect to 
     pools of loans on multifamily housing properties, that the 
     Secretary determines to be appropriate to carry out the 
     purposes of this subsection. The agreements shall be in a 
     form and have such terms and conditions as the Secretary 
     determines to be appropriate to carry out the purposes of 
     this subsection.
       (3) Development of alternatives.--The Secretary shall 
     develop and assess a variety of risk-sharing alternatives, 
     including arrangements under which the Secretary assumes an 
     appropriate share of the risk related to long-term mortgage 
     loans on newly constructed or acquired multifamily rental 
     housing, mortgage refinancings, bridge financing for 
     construction, and other forms of multifamily housing mortgage 
     lending that the Secretary deems appropriate to carry out the 
     purposes of this subsection. Such alternatives shall be 
     designed--
       (A) to ensure that other parties bear a share of the risk, 
     in percentage amount and in position of exposure, that is 
     sufficient to create strong, market-oriented incentives for 
     other participating parties to maintain sound underwriting 
     and loan management practices;
       (B) to develop credit mechanisms, including sound 
     underwriting criteria, processing methods, and credit 
     enhancements, through which resources of the Federal Housing 
     Administration can assist in increasing multifamily housing 
     lending as needed to meet the expected need in the United 
     States;
       (C) to provide a more adequate supply of mortgage credit 
     for sound multifamily rental housing projects in underserved 
     urban and rural markets;
       (D) to encourage major financial institutions to expand 
     their participation in mortgage lending for sound multifamily 
     housing, through means such as mitigating uncertainties 
     regarding actions of the Federal Govern- 

[[Page 2730]]

     ment (including the possible failure to renew short-term 
     subsidy contracts);
       (E) to increase the efficiency, and lower the costs to the 
     Federal Government, of processing and servicing multifamily 
     housing mortgage loans insured by the Federal Housing 
     Administration; and
       (F) to improve the quality and expertise of Federal Housing 
     Administration staff and other resources, as required for 
     sound management of reinsurance and other market-oriented 
     forms of credit enhancement.
       (4) Eligibility standards.--The Secretary shall establish 
     and enforce standards for financial institutions and entities 
     to be eligible to enter into reinsurance agreements under 
     this subsection, as the Secretary determines to be 
     appropriate.

     Acts to insure loans under the National Housing Act, the

     for risk sharing with respect to mortgages on not more than 
     15,000 units over fiscal years 1993 and 1994. The

     expanded until the reports required under subsection (d) are 
     submitted to Congress.

     premiums and fees under this subsection as the Secretary 
     determines appropriate to (A) achieve the purpose of this 
     subsection, and (B) compensate the Federal Housing 
     Administration for the risks assumed and related 
     administrative costs.
       (7) Non-federal participation.--The Secretary shall carry 
     out this subsection, to the maximum extent practicable, with 
     the participation of well-established residential mortgage 
     originators, financial institutions that invest in 
     multifamily housing mortgages, multifamily housing sponsors, 
     and such other private sector experts in multifamily housing 
     finance as the Secretary determines to be appropriate.
       (8) Timing.--The Secretary shall take any administrative 
     actions necessary to initiate the pilot program under this 
     subsection not later than the expiration of the 8-month 
     period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act.
       (c) Housing Finance Agency Pilot Program.--
       (1) In general.--The Secretary shall carry out a specific

     losses incurred on the loans insured. 
       (C) Risk apportionment.--Agreements entered into under this 
     subsection between the Secretary and a qualified housing 
     finance agency shall specify the percentage of loss that each 
     of the parties to the agreement will assume in the event of 
     default of the insured multifamily mortgage. Such agreements 
     shall specify that the qualified housing finance agency and 
     the Secretary shall share equally the full amount of any loss 
     on the insured mortgage.
       (D) Reimbursement capacity.--Agreements entered into under 
     this subsection between the Secretary and a qualified housing

     to this subsection. Evidence of such capacity may include--

     State or local agency to fulfill any obligations entered into

     fund; or

     qualified housing finance agency to use its own underwriting 
     standards and loan terms and conditions for purposes of 
     underwriting loans to be insured under this subsection 
     without further review by the Secretary, except that the 
     Secretary may impose additional underwriting criteria and

     establish a schedule of insurance premium payments for 
     mortgages insured under this subsection based on the 
     percentage of loss the Secretary may assume. Such schedule 
     shall reflect lower or nominal premiums for qualified housing 
     finance agencies that assume a greater share of the risk 
     apportioned according to paragraph (2)(C).
       (4) Limitation on insurance authority.--Using any authority 
     provided by appropriations Acts to insure mortgages under the 
     National Housing Act, the Secretary may enter into 
     commitments under this subsection with respect to mortgages 
     on not to exceed 30,000 units over fiscal years 1993, 1994,

     section 659) designed primarily for occupancy by elderly 
     families may, in selecting tenants for units in the project 
     that become available for occupancy, give preference to 
     elderly families who have applied for occupancy in the 
     housing, subject to the requirements of this subtitle.

     SEC. 652. RESERVATION OF UNITS FOR DISABLED FAMILIES.

       (a) Requirement.--Notwithstanding any other provision of

     occupancy to elderly families pursuant to section 651, such 
     owner shall (subject to sections 653, 654, and 655) reserve 
     units in the project for occupancy only by disabled families 
     who are not elderly or near-elderly families (and who have 
     applied for occupancy in the housing) in the number 
     determined under subsection (b).
       (b) Number of Units.--Each owner required to reserve units 
     in a project for occupancy under subsection (a) shall reserve

     Secretary) that there are insufficient numbers of elderly 
     families who have applied for occupancy in the housing to 
     fill all the units in the project not reserved under section 
     652, the owner may give preference for occupancy of such 
     units to disabled families who are near-elderly families and 
     have applied for occupancy in the housing.
       (b) Insufficient Non-Elderly Disabled Families.--If an 
     owner of a covered section 8 housing project in which elderly 
     families are given a preference for occupancy pursuant to

     established by the Secretary) that there are insufficient 
     numbers of disabled families who are not elderly or near-
     elderly families and have applied for occupancy in the 
     housing to fill all the units in the project reserved under 
     section 652, the owner may give preference for occupancy of 
     units so reserved to disabled families who are near-elderly 
     families and have applied for occupancy in the housing.

     established by the Secretary) that there are an insufficient 
     number of such families to fill all the units in the project 
     for which the preference is applicable, the owner shall make 
     such units generally available for occupancy by families who 
     have applied, and are eligible, for occupancy in the housing, 
     without regard to the preferences established pursuant to 
     this subtitle.

     SEC. 655. PREFERENCE WITHIN GROUPS.

       Among disabled families qualifying for occupancy in units 
     reserved under section 652, and among elderly families and 
     near-elderly families qualifying for preference for occupancy 
     pursuant to section 651 or 653, preference for occupancy in 
     units that are assisted under section 8 of the United States 
     Housing Act of 1937 shall be given to disabled families 
     according to the preferences for occupancy referred to in 
     section 8(d)(1)(A)(i) of the United States Housing Act of

     pursuant to an appropriation under the preceding clause, if 
     the Secretary determines that the income or ability of the

     SEC. 905. FAIR HOUSING INITIATIVES PROGRAM.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) in the past half decade, there have been major 
     legislative and administrative changes in Federal fair 
     housing and fair lending laws and substantial improvements in 
     the Nation's understanding of discrimination in the housing 
     markets;
       (2) in response to evidence of continuing housing 
     discrimination, the Congress passed the Fair Housing Act 
     Amendments of 1988, to provide for more effective enforcement 
     of fair housing rights through judicial and administrative 
     avenues and to expand the number of protected classes covered 
     under Federal fair housing laws;
       (3) in the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and 
     Enforcement Act of 1989, the Congress expanded the disclosure 
     provisions under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act to provide 
     increased information on the mortgage lending patterns of 
     financial institutions;
       (4) in the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the 
     Congress provided a clear and comprehensive national mandate 
     for the elimination of discrimination against individuals 
     with disabilities;
       (5) in 1991, data collected under the Home Mortgage 
     Disclosure Act disclosed evidence of pervasive discrimination 
     in the Nation's mortgage lending markets;
       (6) the Housing Discrimination Survey, released by the 
     Department of Housing and Urban Development in 1991, found 
     that Hispanic and African-American homeseekers experience 
     some form of discrimination in at least half of their 
     encounters with sales and rental agents;
       (7) the Fair Housing Initiatives Program should be revised 
     and expanded to reflect the significant changes in the fair 
     housing and fair lending area that have taken place since the 
     Program's initial authorization in the Housing and Community 
     Development Act of 1987;
       (8) continuing educational efforts by the real estate 
     industry are a useful way to increase understanding by the 
     public of their fair housing rights and responsibilities; and
       (9) the proven efficacy of private nonprofit fair housing 
     enforcement organizations and community-based efforts makes 
     support for these organizations a necessary component of the 
     fair housing enforcement system.
       (b) In General.--Section 561 of the Housing and Community 
     Development Act of 1987 (42 U.S.C. 3616 note) is amended--

     protection afforded by a flood protection system that had

     protection system at premium rates that do not exceed those 
     which would be applicable to any property located in an area 
     of special flood hazard, the construction of which was 
     started prior to the effective date of the initial Flood 
     Insurance Rate Map published by the Director for the 
     community in which such property is located. A revised Flood 
     Insurance Rate Map shall be prepared for the community to 
     delineate as Zone AR the areas of special flood hazard that

     accordance with a progress plan negotiated between the 
     community and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

     Communities that the Director of the Federal Emergency 
     Management Agency determines to meet the criteria set forth 
     in paragraphs (1) and (2) as of January 1, 1992, shall not be 
     subject to revised Flood Insurance Rate Maps that contravene 
     the intent of this subsection. Such communities shall remain 
     eligible for C zone rates for properties located in zone AR 
     for any policy written prior to promulgation of final 
     regulations for this section. Floodplain management criteria 
     for such communities shall not require the elevation of 
     improvements to existing structures and shall not exceed 3 
     feet above existing grade for new construction, provided the 
     base flood elevation based on the disaccredited flood control 
     system does not exceed five feet above existing grade, or the 
     remaining new construction in such communities is limited to 
     infill sites, rehabilitation of existing structures, or 
     redevelopment of previously developed areas.

   TITLE X--RESIDENTIAL LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARD REDUCTION ACT OF 1992

     SEC. 1001. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Residential Lead-Based 
     Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 1002. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) low-level lead poisoning is widespread among American 
     children, afflicting as many as 3,000,000 children under age 
     6, with minority and low-income communities 
     disproportionately affected;
       (2) at low levels, lead poisoning in children causes 
     intelligence quotient deficiencies, reading and learning 
     disabilities, impaired hearing, reduced attention span, 
     hyperactivity, and behavior problems;
       (3) pre-1980 American housing stock contains more than 
     3,000,000 tons of lead in the form of lead-based paint, with 
     the vast majority of homes built before 1950 containing 
     substantial amounts of lead-based paint;
       (4) the ingestion of household dust containing lead from 
     deteriorating or abraded lead-based paint is the most common 
     cause of lead poisoning in children;
       (5) the health and development of children living in as 
     many as 3,800,000 American homes is endangered by chipping or 
     peeling lead paint, or excessive amounts of lead-contaminated 
     dust in their homes;
       (6) the danger posed by lead-based paint hazards can be 
     reduced by abating lead-based paint or by taking interim 
     measures to prevent paint deterioration and limit children's 
     exposure to lead dust and chips;
       (7) despite the enactment of laws in the early 1970's 
     requiring the Federal Government to eliminate as far as 
     practicable lead-based paint hazards in federally owned, 
     assisted, and insured housing, the Federal response to this 
     national crisis remains severely limited; and
       (8) the Federal Government must take a leadership role in 
     building the infrastructure--including an informed public, 
     State and local delivery systems, certified inspectors, 
     contractors, and laboratories, trained workers, and available 
     financing and insurance--necessary to ensure that the 
     national goal of eliminating lead-based paint hazards in 
     housing can be achieved as expeditiously as possible.

     SEC. 1003. PURPOSES.

       The purposes of this Act are--
       (1) to develop a national strategy to build the 
     infrastructure necessary to eliminate lead-based paint 
     hazards in all housing as expeditiously as possible;
       (2) to reorient the national approach to the presence of 
     lead-based paint in housing to implement, on a priority 
     basis, a broad program to evaluate and reduce lead-based 
     paint hazards in the Nation's housing stock;
       (3) to encourage effective action to prevent childhood lead 
     poisoning by establishing a workable framework for lead-based 
     paint hazard evaluation and reduction and by ending the 
     current confusion over reasonable standards of care;
       (4) to ensure that the existence of lead-based paint 
     hazards is taken into account in the development of 
     Government housing policies and in the sale, rental, and 
     renovation of homes and apartments;
       (5) to mobilize national resources expeditiously, through a 
     partnership among all levels of government and the private 
     sector, to develop the most promising, cost-effective methods 
     for evaluating and reducing lead-based paint hazards;
       (6) to reduce the threat of childhood lead poisoning in 
     housing owned, assisted, or transferred by the Federal 
     Government; and
       (7) to educate the public concerning the hazards and 
     sources of lead-based paint poisoning and steps to reduce and 
     eliminate such hazards.

     eliminate regulatory barriers.

     Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 1302. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) the Federal National Mortgage Association and the 
     Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (referred to in this 
     section collectively as the ``enterprises''), and the Federal 
     Home Loan Banks (referred to in this

[[Page 2771]]

     section as the ``Banks''), have important public missions 
     that are reflected in the statutes and charter Acts 
     establishing the Banks and the enterprises;
       (2) because the continued ability of the Federal National 
     Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage 
     Corporation to accomplish their public missions is important 
     to providing housing in the United States and the health of 
     the Nation's economy, more effective Federal regulation is 
     needed to reduce the risk of failure of the enterprises;
       (3) considering the current operating procedures of the 
     Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan 
     Mortgage Corporation, and the Federal Home Loan Banks, the 
     enterprises and the Banks currently pose low financial risk 
     of insolvency;
       (4) neither the enterprises nor the Banks, nor any 
     securities or obligations issued by the enterprises or the 
     Banks, are backed by the full faith and credit of the United 
     States;
       (5) an entity regulating the Federal National Mortgage 
     Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation 
     should have sufficient autonomy from the enterprises and 
     special interest groups;
       (6) an entity regulating such enterprises should have the 
     authority to establish capital standards, require financial 
     disclosure, prescribe adequate standards for books and 
     records and other internal controls, conduct examinations 
     when necessary, and enforce compliance with the standards and 
     rules that it establishes;
       (7) the Federal National Mortgage Association and the 
     Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation have an affirmative 
     obligation to facilitate the financing of affordable housing 
     for low- and moderate-income families in a manner consistent 
     with their overall public purposes, while maintaining a 
     strong financial condition and a reasonable economic return; 
     and
       (8) the Federal Home Loan Bank Act should be amended to 
     emphasize that providing for financial safety and soundness 
     of the Federal Home Loan Banks is the primary mission of the 
     Federal Housing Finance Board.

     regulation, establish a deadline for an enterprise to submit 
     a housing plan to the Secretary, which may not be more than

     necessary. Any extension of the deadline shall be in writing

     disapproval for a single additional 30-day period if the 
     Secretary determines it necessary. The Secretary shall 
     approve any plan that the Secretary determines is likely to 
     succeed, and conforms with the Federal National Mortgage 
     Association Charter Act or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage 
     Corporation Act (as applicable), this title, and any other 
     applicable laws and regulations.
       (5) Notice of approval and disapproval.--The Secretary 
     shall provide written notice to any enterprise submitting a 
     housing plan of the approval or disapproval of the plan 
     (which shall include the reasons for any disapproval of the 
     plan) and of any extension of the period for approval or 
     disapproval.
       (6) Resubmission.--If the initial housing plan submitted by 
     an enterprise is disapproved, the enterprise shall submit an 
     amended plan acceptable to the Secretary within 30 days or 
     such longer period that the Secretary determines is in the 
     public interest.

     the imposition of the penalty for which the hearing is held.
       (b) Issuance of Order.--
       (1) In general.--After any such hearing, and within 90 days 
     after the enterprise has been notified that the case has been

       (1) to submit a housing plan that substantially complies 
     with section 1336(c) within the applicable period;
       (2) to make a good faith effort to comply with a housing

       (3) to submit the information required under subsection (m) 
     or (n) of section 309 of the Federal National Mortgage

     enterprise in writing of the Secretary's determination to 
     impose the penalty, which shall be made on the record;
       (B) shall provide for the imposition of a penalty only 
     after the enterprise has been given an opportunity for a 
     hearing on the record pursuant to section 1342; and
       (C) may provide for review by the Director for any 
     determination or order, or interlocutory ruling, arising from 
     a hearing.
       (2) Factors in determining amount of penalty.--In 
     determining the amount of a penalty under this section, the 
     Secretary shall give consideration to such factors as the 
     gravity of the offense, any history of prior offenses,

     received, deterrence of future violations, and such other 
     factors as the Secretary may determine, by regulation, to be 
     appropriate.
       (d) Action To Collect Penalty.--If an enterprise fails to 
     comply with an order by the Secretary imposing a civil money 
     penalty under this section, after the order is no longer 
     subject to review as provided by sections 1342 and 1343, the 
     Secretary may request the Attorney General of the United 
     States to bring an action in the United States District Court 
     for the District of Columbia to obtain a monetary judgment 
     against the enterprise and such other relief as may be 
     available. The monetary judgment may, in the court's 
     discretion, include the attorneys fees and other expenses 
     incurred by the United States in connection with the action. 
     In an action under this subsection, the validity and 
     appropriateness of the order imposing the penalty shall not 
     be subject to review.

     modify, or remit any civil money penalty which may be, or has 
     been, imposed under this section.

     unless the Secretary determines that the enterprise has 
     intentionally failed to make a good faith effort to comply 
     with an approved plan.

     civil money penalties collected under this section into the

     public--
       (1) any written agreement or other written statement for 
     which a violation may be redressed by the Secretary or any 
     modification to or termination thereof, unless the Secretary, 
     in the Secretary's discretion, determines that public 
     disclosure would be contrary to the public interest or 
     determines under subsection (c) that public disclosure would 
     seriously threaten the financial health or security of the 
     enterprise;
       (2) any order that is issued with respect to any 
     administrative enforcement proceeding initiated by the 
     Secretary under this subpart and that has become final in

     made public pursuant to this subsection.
       (b) Hearings.--All hearings with respect to any notice of

     the public interest.
       (c) Delay of Public Disclosure Under Exceptional 
     Circumstances.--If the Secretary makes a determination in 
     writing that the public disclosure of any final order 
     pursuant to subsection (a) would seriously threaten the 
     financial soundness of the enterprise, the Secretary may 
     delay the public disclosure of such order for a reasonable 
     time.
       (d) Documents Filed Under Seal in Public Enforcement 
     Hearings.--The Secretary may file any document or part

     be contrary to the public interest.
       (e) Retention of Documents.--The Secretary shall keep and 
     maintain a record, for not less than 6 years, of all 
     documents described in subsection (a) and all enforcement

     documents issued with respect to or in connection with any 
     enforcement proceeding initiated by the Secretary under this 
     subpart.
       (f) Disclosures to Congress.--This section may not be

     courts shall have jurisdiction and power to order and require 
     compliance therewith.
       (d) Fees and Expenses.--Witnesses subpoenaed under this 
     section shall be paid the same fees and mileage that are paid

     Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage 
     Corporation under Federal law and the costs to the 
     enterprises;
       (2) the cost of capital to the enterprises;
       (3) housing affordability and availability and the cost of 
     homeownership;
       (4) the level of secondary mortgage market competition 
     subsequently available in the private sector;
       (5) whether increased amounts of capital would be necessary 
     for the enterprises to continue operation;

     Office deems appropriate to enable the Congress to evaluate 
     the desirability and feasibility of privatization of the 
     enterprises.
       (c) Information.--The Federal National Mortgage Association 
     and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation shall provide

    Subtitle B--Required Capital Levels for Enterprises and Special 
                           Enforcement Powers

     SEC. 1361. RISK-BASED CAPITAL LEVELS.

       (a) Risk-Based Capital Test.--The Director shall, by 
     regulation, establish a risk-based capital test under this 
     section for the enterprises. When applied to an enterprise, 
     the risk-based capital test shall determine the amount of 
     total capital for the enterprise that is sufficient for the 
     enterprise to maintain positive capital during a 10-year 
     period in which the following circumstances occur (in this 
     section referred to as the ``stress period''):
       (1) Credit risk.--With respect to mortgages owned or 
     guaranteed by the enterprise and other obligations of the 
     enterprise, losses occur throughout the United States at a 
     rate of default and severity (based on any measurements of 
     default reasonably related to prevailing practice for that 
     industry in determining capital adequacy) reasonably related 
     to the rate and severity that occurred in contiguous areas of 
     the United States containing an aggregate of not less than 5 
     percent of the total population of the United States that, 
     for a period of not less than 2 years, experienced the 
     highest rates of default and severity of mortgage losses, in 
     comparison with such rates of default and severity of 
     mortgage losses in other such areas for any period of such 
     duration.
       (2) Interest rate risk.--
       (A) In general.--Interest rates decrease as described in 
     subparagraph (B) or increase as described in subparagraph 
     (C), whichever would require more capital for the enterprise.
       (B) Decreases.--The 10-year constant maturity Treasury 
     yield decreases during the first year of the stress period 
     and will remain at the new level for the remainder of the 
     stress period. The yield decreases to the lesser of--
       (i) 600 basis points below the average yield during the 
     preceding 9 months, or
       (ii) 60 percent of the average yield during the preceding 3 
     years,

     but in no case to a yield less than 50 percent of the average 
     yield during the preceding 9 months.
       (C) Increases.--The 10-year constant maturity Treasury 
     yield increases during the first year of the stress period 
     and will remain at the new level for the remainder of the 
     stress period. The yield increases to the greater of--
       (i) 600 basis points above the average yield during the 
     preceding 9 months, or
       (ii) 160 percent of the average yield during the preceding 
     3 years,

     but in no case to a yield greater than 175 percent of the 
     average yield during the preceding 9 months.
       (D) Different terms to maturity.--Yields of Treasury 
     instruments with other terms to maturity will change relative 
     to the 10-year constant maturity Treasury yield in patterns 
     and for durations that are reasonably related to historical 
     experience and are judged reasonable by the Director.
       (E) Large increases in yields.--If the 10-year constant 
     maturity Treasury yield is assumed to increase by more than 
     50 percent over the average yield during the preceding 9 
     months, the Director shall adjust the losses in paragraphs 
     (1) and (3) to reflect a correspondingly higher rate of 
     general price inflation.
       (3) New business.--
       (A) In general.--Any contractual commitments of the 
     enterprise to purchase mortgages or issue securities will be 
     fulfilled. The characteristics of resulting mortgage 
     purchases, securities issued, and other financing will be 
     consistent with the contractual terms of such commitments, 
     recent experience, and the economic characteristics of the 
     stress period. No other purchases of mortgages shall be 
     assumed, except as provided in subparagraph (B).
       (B) Additional new business.--The Director may, after 
     consideration of each of the studies required by subparagraph 
     (C), assume that the enterprise conducts additional new 
     business during the stress period consistent with the 
     following--
       (i) Amount and product types.--The amount and types of 
     mortgages purchased and their financing will be reasonably 
     related to recent experience and the economic characteristics 
     of the stress period.
       (ii) Losses.--Default and loss severity characteristics of 
     mortgages purchased will be reasonably related to historical 
     experience.
       (iii) Pricing.--Prices charged by the enterprise in 
     purchasing new mortgages will be reasonably related to recent 
     experience and the economic characteristics of the stress 
     period. The Director may assume that a reasonable period of 
     time would lapse before the enterprise would recognize and 
     react to the characteristics of the stress period.

[[Page 2780]]

       (iv) Interest rate risk.--Interest rate risk on new 
     mortgages purchased will occur to an extent reasonably 
     related to historical experience.
       (v) Reserves.--The enterprise must maintain reserves during 
     and at the end of the stress period on new business conducted 
     during the first 5 years of the stress period reasonably 
     related to the expected future losses on such business, 
     consistent with generally accepted accounting principles and 
     industry accounting practice.
       (C) Studies.--Within 1 year after regulations are first 
     issued under subsection (e), the Director of the 
     Congressional Budget Office, and the Comptroller General of 
     the United States shall each submit to the Committee on 
     Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate and the 
     Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs of the House 
     of Representatives a study of the advisability and 
     appropriate form of any new business assumptions under 
     subparagraph (B).
       (D) Effective date.--The provisions of subparagraph (B) 
     shall become effective 4 years after regulations are first 
     issued under subsection (e).
       (4) Other activities.--Losses or gains on other activities, 
     including interest rate and foreign exchange hedging 
     activities, shall be determined by the Director, on the basis 
     of available information, to be consistent with the stress 
     period.
       (b) Considerations.-- 
       (1) In general.--In establishing the risk-based capital 
     test under subsection (a), the Director shall take into 
     account appropriate distinctions among types of mortgage 
     products, differences in seasoning of mortgages, and any 
     other factors the Director considers appropriate.
       (2) Consistency.--Characteristics of the stress period 
     other than those specifically set forth in subsection (a), 
     such as prepayment experience and dividend policies, will be 
     those determined by the Director, on the basis of available 
     information, to be most consistent with the stress period.
       (c) Risk-Based Capital Level.--For purposes of this 
     subtitle, the risk-based capital level for an enterprise 
     shall be equal to the sum of the following amounts:
       (1) Credit and interest rate risk.--The amount of total 
     capital determined by applying the risk-based capital test 
     under subsection (a) to the enterprise.
       (2) Management and operations risk.--To provide for 
     management and operations risk, 30 percent of the amount of 
     total capital determined by applying the risk-based capital 
     test under subsection (a) to the enterprise.
       (d) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:
       (1) Seasoning.--The term ``seasoning'' means the change 
     over time in the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of a 
     mortgage to the value of the property by which such mortgage 
     loan is secured, determined on an annual basis by region, in 
     accordance with the Constant Quality Home Price Index 
     published by the Secretary of Commerce (or any index of 
     similar quality, authority, and public availability that is 
     regularly used by the Federal Government).
       (2) Type of mortgage product.--The term ``type of mortgage 
     product'' means a classification of one or more mortgage 
     products, as established by the Director, which have similar 
     characteristics from each set of characteristics under the 
     following subparagraphs:
       (A) The property securing the mortgage is--
       (i) a residential property consisting of 1 to 4 dwelling 
     units; or
       (ii) a residential property consisting of more than 4

       (ii) an investor.
       (F) The unpaid principal balance of the mortgage--
       (i) will amortize completely over the term of the mortgage 
     and will not increase significantly at any time during the 
     term of the mortgage;
       (ii) will not amortize completely over the term of the 
     mortgage and will not increase significantly at any time 
     during the term of the mortgage; or
       (iii) may increase significantly at some time during the 
     term of the mortgage.
       (G) Any other characteristics of the mortgage, as the 
     Director may determine.
       (e) Regulations.--
       (1) Issuance.--The Director shall issue final regulations 
     establishing the risk-based capital test under this section 
     not later than the expiration of the 18-month period 
     beginning on the date of the appointment of the Director. 
     Such regulations shall be issued after notice and opportunity

     test and in implementing the test (such as loan loss 
     severity, float income, loan-to-value ratios, taxes, yield 
     curve slopes, default experience, and prepayment rates). The 
     regulations shall be sufficiently specific to permit an 
     individual other than the Director to apply the test in the 
     same manner as the Director.
       (3) Confidentiality of information.--Any person that 
     receives any book, record, or information from the Director 
     or an enterprise to enable the risk-based capital test to be

     such obligations in relation to the instruments included in 
     paragraph (2).
       (b) Transition.--Notwithstanding subsection (a), during the 
     18-month period beginning upon the date of the enactment of

     Director determines in writing that an enterprise is engaging 
     in conduct not approved by the Director that could result in 
     a rapid depletion of core capital or that the value of the 
     property subject to mortgages held or securitized by the 
     enterprise has decreased significantly, the Director may 
     classify the enterprise--
       (1) as undercapitalized, if the enterprise is otherwise 
     classified as adequately capitalized;
       (2) as significantly undercapitalized, if the enterprise is

     shall be classified as adequately capitalized if the 
     enterprise maintains an amount of core capital that is equal 
     to or exceeds the minimum capital level for the enterprise 
     under section 1362.

     SEC. 1365. SUPERVISORY ACTIONS APPLICABLE TO UNDERCAPITALIZED 
                   ENTERPRISES.

       (a) Mandatory Actions.--
       (1) Capital restoration plan.--An enterprise that is 
     classified as undercapitalized shall, within the time period 
     provided in section 1369C(b) and (d), submit to the Director 
     a capital restoration plan that complies with section 1369C 
     and carry out the plan after approval.
       (2) Restriction on capital distributions.--An enterprise 
     that is classified as undercapitalized may not make any 
     capital distribution that would result in the enterprise 
     being reclassified as significantly undercapitalized or 
     critically undercapitalized.
       (b) Discretionary Reclassification From Undercapitalized to 
     Significantly Undercapitalized.--The Director may reclassify 
     as significantly undercapitalized an enterprise that is 
     classified as undercapitalized (and the enterprise shall be 
     subject to the provisions of section 1366) if--
       (1) the enterprise does not submit a capital restoration 
     plan that is substantially in compliance with section 1369C 
     within the applicable period or the Director does not approve 
     the capital restoration plan submitted by the enterprise; or
       (2) the Director determines that the enterprise has failed 
     to make, in good faith, reasonable efforts necessary to 
     comply with the capital restoration plan and fulfill the 
     schedule for the plan approved by the Director.
       (c) Effective Date.--This section shall take effect upon 
     the expiration of the 1-year period beginning on the date of

       (2) Restrictions on capital distributions.--
       (A) Prior approval.--An enterprise that is classified as 
     significantly undercapitalized may not make any capital 
     distribution that would result in the enterprise being 
     reclassified as critically undercapitalized. An enterprise 
     that is classified as significantly undercapitalized 
     enterprise may not make any other capital distribution unless 
     the Director approves the distribution.
       (B) Standard for approval.--The Director may approve a 
     capital distribution by an enterprise classified as 
     significantly undercapitalized only if the Director

     of the enterprise to meet the risk-based capital level and 
     the minimum capital level for the enterprise promptly, (ii) 
     will contribute to the long-term financial safety and 
     soundness of the enterprise, or (iii) is otherwise in the

     determines creates excessive risk to the enterprise.
       (5) Reclassification from significantly to critically 
     undercapitalized.--The Director may reclassify as critically 
     undercapitalized an enterprise that is classified as 
     significantly undercapitalized (and the enterprise shall be

     less than the minimum capital level established for the 
     enterprise under section 1362; and
       (B) that alternative remedies available to the Director 
     under this title are not satisfactory.
       (c) Effective Date.--This section shall take effect upon 
     the first classification of the enterprises within capital 
     classifications that occurs under section 1364.

     SEC. 1367. APPOINTMENT OF CONSERVATORS FOR CRITICALLY 
                   UNDERCAPITAL- IZED ENTERPRISES.

       (a) Appointment.--
       (1) In general.--Upon a determination and notice under

     concurrence of the Secretary of the Treasury, that--
       (A) the appointment of a conservator would have serious 
     adverse effects on economic conditions of national financial

     of the Director.
       (2) No conservator.--If the Director determines under 
     subsection (a)(2) not to appoint a conservator for an

     Director any information relevant to the action that the 
     enterprise considers appropriate for consideration by the

     providing notice under paragraph (3), appoint a conservator 
     for an enterprise upon a determination in writing--

       (i) the enterprise is not likely to pay its obligations in 
     the normal course of business;
       (ii) the enterprise has incurred or is reasonably likely to 
     incur losses that would deplete substantially all of its core 
     capital and it is unlikely that the enterprise will replenish 
     its core capital within a reasonable period;
       (iii) the enterprise has concealed or is concealing books, 
     papers, records, or assets of the enterprise that are 
     material to the discharge of the Director's responsibilities 
     under this subtitle, or has refused or is refusing to submit 
     such books, papers, records, or information regarding the 
     affairs of the enterprise for inspection to the Director upon 
     request; or
       (iv) the enterprise has willfully violated, or is willfully 
     violating, a final cease-and-desist order under section 1371.
       (2) Consent of enterprise.--Notwithstanding paragraph (1), 
     the Director may appoint a conservator for an enterprise if 
     the enterprise, by an affirmative vote of a majority of the 
     members of its board of directors or by an affirmative vote 
     of a majority of its shareholders, consents to such 
     appointment.
       (3) Notice.--Upon making a determination under paragraph 
     (1) of this subsection or under section 1366 or 1367 to 
     appoint a conservator for an enterprise, or upon consent of 
     the enterprise under paragraph (2) to such an appointment, 
     the Director shall provide written notice to the enterprise, 
     the Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs of the 
     House of Representatives, and the Committee on Banking, 
     Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate--
       (A) that a conservator will be appointed for the 
     enterprise;

       (i) has no claim against, or financial interest in, the 
     enterprise or other basis for a conflict of interest; and
       (ii) has the financial and management expertise necessary 
     to direct the operations and affairs of the enterprise.
       (b) Judicial Review.--
       (1) Timing and jurisdiction.--Except as provided in 
     paragraph (2), an enterprise for which a conservator is 
     appointed (pursuant to this section or section 1366 or 1367) 
     may bring an action in the United States District Court for 
     the District of Columbia for an order requiring the Director 
     to terminate the appointment of the conservator. The court, 
     upon the merits, shall dismiss such action or shall direct 
     the Director to terminate the appointment of the conservator. 
     Such an action may be commenced only during the 20-day period 
     beginning upon the appointment of the conservator.
       (2) Consensual appointments.--Appointment of a conservator 
     pursuant to consent of the enterprise under subsection (a)(2) 
     shall not be subject to judicial review under this 
     subsection.
       (3) Standard of review.--A decision of the Director to 
     appoint a conservator may be set aside under this subsection 
     only if the court finds that the decision was arbitrary, 
     capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in 
     accordance with applicable laws.
       (4) Limitation on jurisdiction.--Except as otherwise 
     provided in this subsection, no court may take any action 
     regarding the removal of a conservator or otherwise restrain 
     or affect the exercise of powers or functions of a 
     conservator.
       (c) Replacement.--The Director may, without notice or 
     hearing, replace a conservator with another conservator. Such 
     replacement shall not affect the right of the enterprise 
     under subsection (b) to obtain judicial review of the 
     decision of the Director to appoint a conservator.
       (d) Examinations.--The Director may examine and supervise 
     any enterprise in conservatorship during the period in which 
     the enterprise continues to operate as a going concern.
       (e) Termination.--
       (1) Discretionary.--At any time the Director determines 
     that termination of a conservatorship pursuant to an 
     appointment under subsection (a) is in the public interest 
     and may safely be accomplished, the Director may terminate 
     the conservatorship and permit the enterprise to resume the 
     transaction of its business subject to such terms, 
     conditions, and limitations as the Director may prescribe.
       (2) Mandatory.--The Director shall terminate a 
     conservatorship initiated pursuant to section 1366 or 1367 
     upon a determination by the Director that the enterprise has 
     maintained an amount of core capital that is equal to or 
     exceeds the minimum capital level for the enterprise 
     established under section 1362, and may by written order 
     prescribe such terms, conditions, and limitations on the 
     enterprise as the Director considers appropriate.
       (3) Terms.--Any terms, conditions, and limitations imposed 
     by the Director upon termination of a conservatorship shall 
     be enforceable and reviewable under the provisions of 
     sections 1374 and 1375, to the same extent as any cease-and-
     desist order issued pursuant to subtitle C.

     subject to any rules, regulations, and orders issued from

     reason of, the insolvency of the enterprise or the 
     appointment of a conservator.
       (2) Enforceable contracts.--Any contract that is within a 
     class of contracts shall be enforceable under paragraph (1)

     conservatorship; and
       (B) specifically provides for the enforceability of such 
     class of contracts in a regulation or order, issued for the 
     purpose of this subsection, which describes such class.
       (3) Applicability.--This subsection and any regulation or 
     order issued under this subsection shall apply only to

     pending at the time of appointment, a conservator may request 
     that any judicial action or proceeding to which the 
     conservator or the enterprise is or may become a party be 
     stayed for a period not exceeding 45 days after the request. 
     Upon petition, the court shall grant such stay as to all 
     parties.

     may be compensated for activities conducted as conservator. 
     Compensation may not be provided in amounts greater than the 
     compensation paid to employees of the Federal Government for 
     similar services, except that the Director may provide for 
     compensation at higher rates (but not in excess of rates 
     prevailing in the private sector), if the Director determines

     recruit and retain competent personnel.

     to this section (including compensation pursuant to 
     subsection (f)) shall be paid by the enterprise under

     supervisory action taken under this subtitle by the Director 
     (other than action to appoint a conservator under section

     Director may issue and serve upon the enterprise, executive 
     officer, or director an order requiring such party to cease

     SEC. 1372. TEMPORARY CEASE-AND-DESIST ORDERS.

       (a) Grounds for Issuance and Scope.--Whenever the Director 
     determines that any conduct or violation, or threatened 
     conduct or violation, specified in the notice of charges 
     served upon the enterprise, executive officer, or director 
     pursuant to section 1371(a) or (b), or the continuation 
     thereof, is likely--
       (1) to cause insolvency,
       (2) to cause a significant depletion of the core capital of 
     the enterprise, or
       (3) otherwise to cause irreparable harm to the enterprise,

     prior to the completion of the proceedings conducted pursuant 
     to section 1371(c), the Director may issue a temporary order 
     requiring the enterprise, executive officer, or director to 
     cease and desist from any such conduct or violation and to 
     take affirmative action to prevent or remedy such insolvency, 
     depletion, or harm pending completion of such proceedings. 
     Such order may include any requirement authorized under 
     section 1371(d).
       (b) Effective Date.--An order issued pursuant to subsection 
     (a) shall become effective upon service upon the enterprise, 
     executive officer, or director and, unless set aside, 
     limited, or suspended by a court in proceedings pursuant to 
     subsection (d), shall remain in effect and enforceable 
     pending the completion of the proceedings pursuant to such 
     notice and shall remain effective until the Director 
     dismisses the charges specified in the notice or until 
     superseded by a cease-and-desist order issued pursuant to 
     section 1371.
       (c) Incomplete or Inaccurate Records.--
       (1) Temporary order.--If a notice of charges served under 
     section 1371(a) or (b) specifies on the basis of particular 
     facts and circumstances that the books and records of the 
     enterprise served are so incomplete or inaccurate that the 
     Director is unable, through the normal supervisory process, 
     to determine the financial condition of the enterprise or the 
     details or the purpose of any transaction or transactions 
     that may have a material effect on the financial condition of 
     that enterprise, the Director may issue a temporary order 
     requiring--
       (A) the cessation of any activity or practice which gave 
     rise, whether in whole or in part, to the incomplete or 
     inaccurate state of the books or records; or
       (B) affirmative action to restore the books or records to a 
     complete and accurate state.
       (2) Effective period.--Any temporary order issued under 
     paragraph (1)--
       (A) shall become effective upon service; and
       (B) unless set aside, limited, or suspended by a court in 
     proceedings pursuant to subsection (d), shall remain in 
     effect and enforceable until the earlier of--
       (i) the completion of the proceeding initiated under 
     section 1371 in connection with the notice of charges; or
       (ii) the date the Director determines, by examination or 
     otherwise, that the books and records of the enterprise are 
     accurate and reflect the financial condition of the 
     enterprise.
       (d) Judicial Review.--An enterprise, executive officer, or 
     director that has been served with a temporary order pursuant 
     to this section may apply to the United States District Court 
     for the District of Columbia within 10 days after such 
     service for an injunction setting aside, limiting, or 
     suspending the enforcement, operation, or effectiveness of 
     the order pending the completion of the administrative 
     proceedings pursuant to the notice of charges served upon the 
     enterprise, executive officer, or director under section 
     1371(a) or (b). Such court shall have jurisdiction to issue 
     such injunction.
       (e) Enforcement by Attorney General.--In the case of 
     violation or threatened violation of, or failure to obey, a 
     temporary order issued pursuant to this section, the Director 
     may request the Attorney General of the United States to 
     bring an action in the United States District Court for the 
     District of Columbia for an injunction to enforce such order 
     or may, under the direction and control of the Attorney 
     General, bring such an action. If the court finds any such 
     violation, threatened violation, or failure to obey, the 
     court shall issue such injunction.

Para. 121.35  further message from the senate

  A further message from the Senate by Mr. Stewart, Secretary of the 
Senate, announced that the Senate having proceeded to reconsider the 
bill (S. 12) ``An Act to amend the Communications Act of 1934 to provide 
increased consumer protection and to promote increased competition in 
the cable television and related markets, and for other purposes,'' 
returned by the President of the United States with his objections, to 
the Senate, in which it originated, it was resolved that the said bill 
pass, two-thirds of the Senators present having voted in the 
affirmative.

Para. 121.36  message from the senate--veto of s. 12

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, laid before the House a message 
from the Senate, which was read as follows:
  The Senate having proceeded to reconsider the bill (S. 12) to amend 
title VI of the Communications Act of 1934 to ensure carriage on cable 
television of local news and other programming and to restore the right 
of local regulatory authorities to regulate cable television rates, and 
for other purposes, returned by the President of the United States with 
his objections to the Senate, in which it originated, it was,
  Resolved, That the said bill pass, two-thirds of the Senators present 
having voted in the affirmative.
  The Clerk then read the veto message from the President, as follows:

To the Senate of the United States:
  I am returning herewith without my approval S. 12, the ``Cable 
Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992.'' This bill 
illustrates good intentions gone wrong, fallen prey to special 
interests.
  Contrary to the claims made by its proponents, this legislation will 
not reduce the price Americans pay for cable television service. Rather, 
the simple truth is that under this legislation cable television rates 
will go up, not down. Competition will not increase, it will stagnate. 
In addition, this legislation will cost American jobs and discourage 
investment in telecommunications, one of our fastest growing industries.
  S. 12 is clearly long on promises. Unfortunately, it is just as 
clearly short on relief to the American families who are quite rightly 
concerned about significant increases in their cable rates and poor 
cable service. Although the proponents of S. 12 describe the bill as 
procompetitive, it simply is not. Indeed, the only truly competitive 
provision, one that would have expanded the ability of telephone 
companies to compete with cable companies in rural areas, was dropped 
from the bill at the last minute.
  S. 12 tries to address legitimate consumer concerns, but it does so by 
requiring cable companies to bear the costs of meeting major new 
federally

[[Page 2816]]

imposed regulatory requirements and by adopting costly special interest 
provisions. For example, the bill requires cable companies for the first 
time to pay broadcasting companies, who have free access to the 
airwaves, to carry the broadcasters' programs. The undeniable result: 
higher rates for cable viewers.
  Beyond increasing consumer costs, the bill takes certain key business 
decisions away from cable operators and puts them in the hands of the 
Federal Government. One provision, which is unconstitutional, requires 
cable companies to carry certain television stations regardless of 
whether the viewing public wants to see these stations. Another special 
interest provision would put the Federal Government in the position of 
dictating to cable companies to whom and at what price they could sell 
their programs. These types of federally mandated outcomes will 
discourage continued investment in new programs to the detriment of 
cable subscribers who have come to expect a wide variety of programming 
and new services.
  I believe that the American people deserve cable television 
legislation that, unlike S. 12, will deliver what it promises: fair 
rates, good programming, and sound service.
                                                          George Bush.  
  The White House, October 3, 1992.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, by unanimous consent, announced 
that the objections of the President were ordered spread upon the pages 
of the Journal.
  The question being on the passage of the bill, the objections of the 
President to the contrary notwithstanding.
  After debate,
  By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered on the bill to 
its passage or rejection.
  The question being put,
  Will the House, upon reconsideration, agree to pass the bill, the 
objections of the President to the contrary notwithstanding?

     paragraph (2)(A), a court order provides (in the manner 
     applicable to a division of property) for the payment of an

     member of the armed forces is eligible to receive payment 
     under this subsection if--
       ``(A) the member or former member, while a member of the

       ``(4) Upon the request of a court or an eligible spouse or 
     former spouse of a member or former member of the armed 
     forces referred to in paragraph (2)(A) in connection with a 
     civil action for the issuance of a court order in the case of 
     that member or former member, the Secretary concerned shall 
     determine and certify the amount of the monthly retired pay 
     that the member or former member would have been entitled to 
     receive as of the date of the certification--
       ``(A) if the member or former member's eligibility for 
     retired pay had not been terminated as described in paragraph 
     (2)(A); and
       ``(B) if, in the case of a member or former member not in 
     receipt of retired pay immediately before that termination of

     retired on the effective date of that termination of 
     eligibility.
       ``(5) A court order under this subsection may provide that 
     whenever retired pay is increased under section 1401a of this 
     title (or any other provision of law), the amount payable 
     under the court order to the spouse or former spouse of a 
     member or former member described in paragraph (2)(A) shall 
     be increased at the same time by the percent by which the 
     retired pay of the member or former member would have been 
     increased if the member or former member were receiving 
     retiredd pay.
       ``(6) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a member 
     or former member of the armed forces referred to in paragraph 
     (2)(A) shall have no ownership interest in, or claim against, 
     any amount payable under this section to a spouse or former 
     spouse of the member or former member.
       ``(7)(A) If a former spouse receiving payments under this 
     subsection with respect to a member or former member referred 
     to in paragraph (2)(A) marries again after such payments 
     begin, the eligibility of the former spouse to receive 
     further payments under this subsection shall terminate on the 
     date of such marriage.
       ``(B) A person's eligibility to receive payments under this 
     subsection that is terminated under subparagraph (A) by 
     reason of remarriage shall be resumed in the event of the 
     termination of that marriage by the death of that person's 
     spouse or by annulment or divorce. The resumption of payments 
     shall begin as of the first day of the month in which that 
     marriage is so terminated. The monthly amount of the payments 
     shall be the amount that would have been paid if the 
     continuity of the payments had not been interrupted by the 
     marriage.
       ``(8) Payments in accordance with this subsection shall be 
     made out of funds in the Department of Defense Military 
     Retirement Fund established by section 1461 of this title.
       ``(9)(A) A spouse or former spouse of a member or former 
     member of the armed forces referred to paragraph (2)(A), 
     while receiving payments in accordance with this subsection, 
     shall be entitled to receive medical and dental care, to use 
     commissary and exchange stores, and to receive any other 
     benefit that a spouse or a former spouse of a retired member 
     of the armed forces is entitled to receive on the basis of 
     being a spouse or former spouse, as the case may be, of a 
     retired member of the armed forces in the same manner as if 
     the member or former member referred to in paragraph (2)(A) 
     was entitled to retired pay.
       ``(B) A dependent child of a member or former member 
     referred to in paragraph (2)(A) who was a member of the

     receive medical and dental care, to use commissary and 
     exchange stores, and to have other benefits provided to 
     dependents of retired members of the armed forces in the same 
     manner as if the member or former member referred to in 
     paragraph (2)(A) was entitled to retired pay.
       ``(C) If a spouse or former spouse or a dependent child 
     eligible or entitled to receive a particular benefit under 
     this paragraph is eligible or entitled to receive that 
     benefit under another provision of law, the eligibility or 
     entitlement of that spouse or former spouse or dependent 
     child to such benefit shall be determined under such other 
     provision of law instead of this paragraph.
       ``(10) In this subsection, the term `dependent child', with 
     respect to a member or former member of the armed forces 
     referred

     SEC. 204. NON-FEDERAL CONTRIBUTION.

       The non-Federal share of the cost for the design, 
     engineering, and construction of the Central Utah Project 
     features authorized by sections 202 and 203 shall be 35 
     percent of the total reimbursable costs and shall be paid 
     concurrently with the Federal share, except that for the 
     facilities specified in 202(a)(6), the cost-share shall be 35 
     percent of the costs allocated to irrigation beyond the 
     ability of irrigators to repay. The non-Federal share of the 
     cost for studies required by sections 202 and 203, other than 
     the study required by section 202(a)(5), shall be 50 percent 
     and shall be paid concurrently with the Federal share. Within 
     120 days of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall 
     execute a cost sharing agreement which binds the District to 
     provide annually such sums as may be required to satisfy the 
     non-Federal share of the separate features authorized and 
     approved for construction pursuant to this Act. The Secretary 
     is not authorized to broaden the scope of the cost sharing 
     agreement beyond assuring that the non-Federal interests will 
     satisfy the cost sharing provisions as set forth in this 
     section Any feature to which this section applies shall not 
     be initiated until after the non-Federal interests enter into 
     a cost sharing agreement with the Secretary to provide the 
     share required by this section. The District may commence any 
     study authorized herein prior to entering into a cost sharing 
     agreement, and upon execution of a cost sharing agreement the 
     Secretary shall reimburse the District an amount equal to the 
     Federal share of the funds expended by the District.

     SEC. 205. DEFINITE PLAN REPORT AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE.

       (a) Definite Plan Report and Feasibility Studies.--Except 
     for amounts required for compliance with applicable

     SEC. 207. WATER MANAGEMENT IMPROVEMENT.

       (a) Purposes.--The purposes of this section are, through 
     such means as are cost-effective and environmentally sound, 
     to--
       (1) encourage the conservation and wise use of water;
       (2) reduce the probability and duration of periods 
     necessitating extraordinary curtailment of water use;
       (3) achieve beneficial reductions in water use and system 
     costs;
       (4) prevent or eliminate unnecessary depletion of waters in 
     order to assist in the improvement and maintenance of water 
     quantity, quality, and streamflow conditions necessary to 
     augment water supplies and support fish, wildlife, 
     recreation, and other public benefits;
       (5) make prudent and efficient use of currently available 
     water prior to any importation of Bear River water into Salt 
     Lake County, Utah; and
       (6) provide a systematic approach to the accomplishment of 
     these purposes and an objective basis for measuring their 
     achievement.
       (b) Water Management Improvement Plan.--The District, after 
     consultation with the State and with each petitioner of 
     project water, shall prepare and maintain a water management 
     improvement plan. The first plan shall be submitted to the 
     Secretary by January 1, 1995. Every three years thereafter 
     the District shall prepare and submit a supplement to this 
     plan. The Secretary shall either approve or disapprove such 
     plan or supplement thereto within six months of its 
     submission.
       (1) Elements.--The plan shall include the following 
     elements:
       (A) A water conservation goal, consisting of the greater of 
     the following two amounts for each petitioner of project 
     water:
       (i) 25% of each petitioner's projected increase in annual 
     water deliveries between the years 1990 and 2000, or such 
     later ten year period as the District may find useful for 
     planning purposes; or
       (ii) the amount by which unaccounted for water or, in the 
     case of irrigation entities, transport losses, exceeds 10% of 
     recorded annual water deliveries.

     The minimum goal for the District shall be thirty thousand 
     acre-feet per year. In the event that the pipeline conveyance 
     system described in section 202(a)(1)(A) is not constructed 
     due to expiration of the authorization pursuant to section 
     202(a)(1)(B), the minimum goal for the District shall be 
     reduced by 5,000 acre-feet per year. In the event that the 
     Wasatch County Water Efficiency Project authorized in section 
     202(a)(3)(B) is not constructed due to expiration of the 
     authorization pursuant to section 202(a)(3)(D), the minimum 
     goal for the District shall be reduced by 5,000 acre-feet per 
     year. In the event the water supply which would have been 
     supplied by the pipeline conveyance system described in 
     section 202(a)(1)(A) is made available and delivered to 
     municipal and industrial or agricultural petitioners in Salt 
     Lake, Utah or Juab counties subsequent to the expiration of 
     the authorization pursuant to section 202(a)(1)(B), the 
     minimum goal for the District shall increase 5,000 acre-feet 
     per year. In no event shall the minimum goal for the District 
     be less than 20,000 acre-feet per year.
       (B) A water management improvement inventory, containing--
       (i) conservation measures to improve the efficiency of the 
     storage, conveyance, distribution, and use of water in a 
     manner that contributes to the accomplishment of the purposes 
     of this section, exclusive of any measures promulgated 
     pursuant to subsection (f)(2) (A) through (D);
       (ii) the estimated economic and financial costs of each 
     such measure;
       (iii) the estimated water yield of each such measure; and, 
       (iv) the socioeconomic and environmental effects of each 
     such measure.
       (C) A comparative analysis of each cost-effective and 
     environmentally acceptable measure.
       (D) A schedule of implementation for the following five 
     years.
       (E) An assessment of the performance of previously 
     implemented conservation measures, if any. Each plan or plan 
     supplement shall be technically sound, internally consistent 
     and supported by objective analysis.

     Not less than 90 days prior to its transmittal to the 
     Secretary, the plan, or plan supplement, together with all 
     supporting documentation demonstrating compliance with this 
     section, shall be made available by the District for public 
     review, hearing, and comment. All significant comments, and 
     the District's response thereto, shall accompany the plan 
     transmitted to the Secretary.
       (2) Evaluation of conservation measures.--
       (A) Any conservation measure proposed to the District by 
     the Executive Director of the Utah Department of Natural 
     Resources shall be added to the water management improvement 
     inventory and evaluated by the District. Any conservation 
     measure, up to a cumulative five in number within any three 
     year period, submitted by nonprofit sportsmen or 
     environmental organizations shall be added to the water 
     management improvement inventory and evaluated by the 
     District.
       (b) Each conservation measure that is found to be cost-
     effective, without significant adverse impact to the 
     financial integrity of the District or a petitioner of 
     project water, environmentally acceptable and for which the 
     requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
     (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) have been satisfied, and in the 
     public interest shall be deemed to constitute the ``active 
     inventory''. For purposes of this section, the determination 
     of benefits shall take into account.
       (i) the value of saved water, to be determined, in the case 
     of municipal water, on the basis of the project municipal and 
     industrial repayment obligation of the District, but in no 
     case less than $200 per acre-foot, and, in the case of 
     irrigation water, on the basis of operation, maintenance, and 
     replacement costs plus the ``full cost'' rate for irrigation 
     computed in accordance with section 302(3) of the Reclamation 
     Reform Act of 1982 (96 Stat. 1263; 43 U.S.C. 390bb), but in 
     no case less than $50 per acre-foot;
       (ii) the reduced cost of wastewater treatment, if any;
       (iii) net additional hydroelectric power generation, if 
     any, valued at avoided cost;
       (iv) net savings in operation, maintenance, and replacement 
     costs; and
       (v) net savings in on-farm costs.
       (3) Implementation.--The District, and each petitioner of 
     project water, as appropriate, shall implement and maintain, 
     consistent with State law, conservation measures placed in 
     the active inventory to the maximum practical extent 
     necessary to achieve 50% of the water conservation goal 
     within seven years after submission of the initial plan and 
     100% of the water conservation goal within fifteen years 
     after submission of the initial plan. Priority shall be given 
     to implementation of the most cost-effective measures that 
     are--
       (A) found to reduce consumptive use of water without 
     significant adverse impact to the financial integrity of the 
     District or the petitioner of project water;
       (B) environmentally acceptable and for which the 
     requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
     (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) has been satisfied; and
       (C) found to be in the public interest.
       (4) Use of saved water.--All water saved by any 
     conservation measure implemented by the District or a 
     petitioner of project water under subsection (b)(3) may be 
     retained by the District or the petitioner of project water 
     which saved such water for its own use or disposition. The 
     specific amounts of water saved by any conservation measure 
     implemented under subsection (b)(3) shall be based upon the 
     determination of yield under paragraph (b)(1)(B)(iii), and as 
     may be confirmed or modified by assessment pursuant to 
     paragraph (b)(1)(E). Each petitioner of project water may 
     make available to the District water in an amount equivalent 
     to the water saved, which the District may make available to 
     the Secretary for instream flows in addition to the stream 
     flow requirements established by section 303. Such instream 
     flows shall be released from project facilities, subject to 
     space available in project conveyance systems, to at least 
     one watercourse in the Bonneville and Uinta River Basins, 
     respectively, to be designated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 
     Service as recommended by the Interagency Biological 
     Assessment Team. Such flows shall be protected against 
     appropriation in the same manner as the minimum streamflow 
     requirements established by section 303. The Secretary shall 
     reduce the annual contractual repayment obligation of the 
     District equal to the project rate for delivered water, 
     including operation and maintenance expenses, for water saved 
     for instream flows pursuant to this subsection. The District 
     shall credit or rebate to each petitioner of project water 
     its proportionate share of the District's repayment savings 
     for reductions in deliveries of project water as a result of 
     this subsection.
       (5) Status report on the planning process.--Prior to 
     January 1, 1994, the District shall establish a continuous 
     process for the identification, evaluation, and 
     implementation of water conservation measures to achieve the 
     purposes of this section, and submit a report thereon to the 
     Secretary. The report shall include a description of this 
     process, including its financial resources, technical 
     support, public involvement, and identification of staff 
     responsible for its development and implementation.
       (c) Water conservation pricing study.--
       (1) Within three years from the date of enactment of this 
     Act, the District, after consultation with the State and each 
     petitioner of project water, shall prepare and transmit to 
     the Secretary a study of wholesale and retail pricing to 
     encourage water conservation as described in this subsection, 
     together with its conclusions and recommendations.
       (2) The purposes of this study are:
       (A) to design and evaluate potential rate designs and 
     pricing policies for water supply and wastewater treatment 
     within the District boundary;
       (B) to estimate demand elasticity for each of the principal 
     categories of end use of water within the District boundary; 
       (C) to quantify monthly water savings estimated to result 
     from the various designs and policies to be evaluated; and
       (D) to identify a water pricing system that reflects the 
     incremental scarcity value of water and rewards effective 
     water conservation programs.
       (3) Pricing policies to be evaluated in the study shall 
     include but not be limited to the following, alone and in 
     combination:

[[Page 2826]]

       (A) recovery of all costs, including a reasonable return on 
     investment, through water and wastewater service charges;
       (B) seasonal rate differentials;
       (C) drought year surcharges;
       (D) increasing block rate schedules;
       (E) marginal cost pricing;
       (F) rates accounting for differences in costs based upon 
     point of delivery; and
       (G) rates based on the effect of phasing out the collection 
     of ad valorem property taxes by the District and the 
     petitioners of project water over a five-year and ten-year 
     period.

     The District may incorporate policies developed by the study 
     in the Water Management Improvement Plan prepared under 
     subsection (b).
       (4) Not less than 90 days prior to its transmittal to the 
     Secretary, the study, together with the District's 
     preliminary conclusions and recommendations and all 
     supporting documentation, shall be available for public 
     review and comment, including public hearings. All 
     significant comments, and the District's response thereto, 
     shall accompany the study transmitted to the Secretary.
       (5) Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to authorize 
     the Secretary, or grant new authority to the District or 
     petitioners of project water, to require the implementation 
     of any policies or recommendations contained in the study.
       (d) Study of Coordinated Operations.--
       (1) Within three years from the date of enactment of this 
     Act, the District, after consultation with the State and each 
     petitioner of project water, shall prepare and transmit to 
     the Secretary a study of the coordinated operation of 
     independent municipal and industrial and irrigation water 
     systems, together with its conclusions and recommendations. 
     The District shall evaluate cost-effective flexible operating 
     procedures that will:
       (A) improve the availability and reliability of water 
     supply;
       (B) coordinate the timing of reservoir releases under 
     existing water rights to improve instream flows for 
     fisheries, wildlife, recreation, and other environmental 
     values, if possible;
       (C) assist in managing drought emergencies by making more 
     efficient use of facilities;
       (D) encourage the maintenance of existing wells and other 
     facilities which may be placed on stand-by status when water 
     deliveries from the project become available;
       (E) allow for the development, protection, and sustainable 
     use of groundwater resources in the District boundary;
       (F) not reduce the benefits that would be generated in the 
     absence of the joint operating procedures; and
       (G) integrate management of surface and groundwater 
     supplies and storage capability.

     The District may incorporate measures developed by the study 
     of the Water Management Improvement Plan prepared under 
     subsection (b).
       (2) Not less than 90 days prior to its transmittal to the 
     Secretary, the study, together with the District's 
     preliminary conclusions and recommendations and all 
     supporting documentation, shall be available for public 
     review and comment, including public hearings. All 
     significant comments, and the District's response thereto, 
     shall accompany the study transmitted to the Secretary. 
       (3) Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to authorize 
     the Secretary, or grant new authority to the District or 
     petitioners of project water, to require the implementation 
     of any operating procedures, conclusions, or recommendations 
     contained in the study.
       (e) Authorization of Appropriations.--(1) For an amount not 
     to exceed 50% of the cost of conducting the studies 
     identified in sub- 
     sections (c) and (d) and developing the plan identified in 
     subsection (b), $3,000,000 shall be available from the amount 
     authorized to be appropriated by section 201, and shall 
     remain available until expended. The Federal share shall be 
     allocated among project purposes in the same proportions as 
     the joint costs of the Strawberry Collection System, and 
     shall be repaid in the manner of repayment for each such 
     purpose.
       (2) For an amount not to exceed 65% of the cost of 
     implementation of the conservation measures in accordance 
     with subsection (b), $50,000,000 shall be available from the 
     amount authorized to be appropriated in section 201, and 
     shall remain available until expended. $10,000,000 authorized

     the Secretary, or grant new authority to the District or 
     petitioners of project water, to require the implementation 
     of any standards or regulations recommended by the Utah Water 
     Conservation Advisory Board.
       (g) Compliance.--(1) Notwithstanding subsections (c)(5),

     of substantial noncompliance, the Secretary shall refund 100% 
     of the surcharge levied.
       (h) Reclamation Reform Act of 1982.--Compliance with this 
     section shall be deemed as compliance with section 210 of the 
     Reclamation Reform Act of 1982 (96 Stat. 1268; 43 U.S.C. 
     390jj) by the District and each petitioner of project water.
       (i) Judicial Review.--(1) For the purposes of sections 701 
     through 706 of Title 5 (U.S.C.), the determinations made by 
     the Secretary under subsections (b), (f)(1) or (g) shall be 
     final actions subject to judicial review.

     pursuant to sections 554, 556, or 557 of Title 5 (U.S.C.).
       (3) Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to 
     preclude judicial review of other final actions and decisions 
     by the Secretary.
       (j) Citizen Suits.--(1) In General.--Any person may 
     commence a civil suit on their own behalf against only the 
     Secretary for any determination made by the Secretary under

     section. An action under this subsection may be brought in 
     the judicial district where the alleged violation occurred or 
     is about to occur, where fish, wildlife, or recreation 
     resources are located, or in the District of Columbia.
       (3) Limitations.--(A) No action may be commenced under 
     paragraph (1) before 60 days after written notice of the 
     violation has been given to the Secretary.
       (B) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), an action may be 
     brought immediately after such notification in the case of an 
     action under this section respecting an emergency posing a

     United States, whenever the court determines such award is 
     appropriate.
       (5) Disclamer.--The relief provided by this subsection

     such audit to the Secretary and to the Congress. The audit 
     shall be conducted in accordance with regulations which the 
     Comptroller General shall prescribe not later than one year 
     after the date of enactment of this Act. Upon a review of

     notice, take action to initiate repayment of all such 
     reimbursable costs.

     used in the production of any crop of an agricultural 
     commodity for which an acreage reduction program is in effect 
     under the provision of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as 
     amended, if the total supply of such commodity for the 
     marketing years in which the bulk of the crop would normally 
     be marketed is in excess of the normal supply as determined 
     by the Secretary of Agriculture. The Secretary of the 
     Interior shall announce the amount of the surplus crop 
     production charge for the succeeding year on or before July 1 
     of each year.

     appropriate Indian tribes, and county and municipal entities, 
     and the public, recommendations for objectives and measures 
     to implement the mitigation and conservation projects and 
     features authorized in this Act or amendments thereto. The 
     Commission shall establish by rule a period of time not less 
     than 90 days in length within which to receive such

     State and have substantial potential for providing fish, 
     wildlife, and recreation mitigation and conservation 
     opportunities;
       (B) be based on, and supported by, the best available 
     scientific knowledge;
       (C) utilize, where equally effective alternative means of 
     achieving the same sound biological or recreational 
     objectives exist, the alternative that will also provide

     TITLE IV--UTAH RECLAMATION MITIGATION AND CONSERVATION ACCOUNT

     SEC. 401. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the State of Utah is a State in which one of the 
     largest trans-basin water diversions occurs, dewatering 
     important natural areas as a result of the Colorado River 
     Storage Project;
       (2) the State of Utah is one of the most ecologically 
     significant states in the Nation, and it is therefore 
     important to protect, mitigate, and enhance sensitive species 
     and ecosystems through effective long term mitigation;
       (3) the challenge of mitigating the environmental 
     consequences associated with trans-basin water diversions are 
     complex and involve many projects and measures (some of which 
     are presently unidentifiable) and the costs for which will 
     continue after projects of the Colorado River Storage Project 
     in Utah are completed; and
       (4) environmental mitigation associated with the 
     development of the projects of the Colorado River Storage 
     Project in the State of Utah are seriously in arrears.
       (b) PURPOSES.--The purpose of this title is to establish an 
     ongoing account to ensure that--
       (1) the level of environmental protection, mitigation, and 
     enhancement achieved in connection with projects identified 
     in this Act and elsewhere in the Colorado River Storage 
     Project in the State of Utah is preserved and maintained;
       (2) resources are available to manage and maintain 
     investments in fish and wildlife and recreation features of 
     the projects identified in this Act and elsewhere in the 
     Colorado River Storage Project in the State of Utah;
       (3) resources are available to address known environmental 
     impacts of the projects identified in this Act and elsewhere 
     in the Colorado River Storage Project in the State of Utah 
     for which no funds are being specifically authorized for 
     appropriation and earmarked under this Act; and
       (4) resources are available to address presently unknown 
     environmental needs and opportunities for enhancement within 
     the areas of the State of Utah affected by the projects 
     identified in this Act and elsewhere in the Colorado River 
     Storage Project.

     SEC. 402. UTAH RECLAMATION MITIGATION AND CONSERVATION 
                   ACCOUNT.

       (a) Establishment.--There is hereby established in the 
     Treasury of the United States a Utah Reclamation Mitigation

     non-federal funds from the District.
       (B) $5,000,000 annually by the Secretary of Energy out of 
     funds appropriated to the Western Area Power Administration, 
     such expenditures to be considered nonreimbursable and 
     nonreturnable.
       (C) The annual contributions described in subparagraphs (A) 
     and (B) shall be increased proportionally on March 1 of each 
     year by the same percentage increase during the previous 
     calendar year in the Consumer Price Index for urban 
     consumers, published by the Department of Labor. 
       (4) Interest and unexpected funds.--(A) Any amount 
     authorized and earmarked for fish, wildlife, or recreation 
     expenditures which is appropriated but not obligated or

     determined by the Secretary of the Treasury on the basis of 
     the current average market yield on outstanding marketable 
     obligations of the United States of comparable maturities. 
     Such interest shall be added to the principal of the Account 
     until completion of the projects and features specified in 
     the schedule in section 315. After completion of such 
     projects and features, all interest earned on amounts 
     remaining in or deposited to the principal of the Account 
     shall be available to the Commission pursuant to subsection 
     (c)(2) of this section.

     of the Account shall be subject to audit by the Inspector 
     General of the Department of Interior.

                 TITLE V--UTE INDIAN RIGHTS SETTLEMENT

     SEC. 501. FINDINGS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following--
       (1) the unquantified Federal reserved water rights of the 
     Ute Indian Tribe are the subject of existing claims and 
     prospective lawsuits involving the United States, the State, 
     and the District and numerous other water users in the Uinta 
     Basin. The State and the Tribe negotiated, but did not 
     implement, a compact to quantify the Tribe's reserved water 
     rights.
       (2) There are other unresolved Tribal claims arising out of 
     an agreement dated September 20, 1965, where the Tribe 
     deferred development of a portion of its reserved water 
     rights for 15,242 acres of the Tribe's Group 5 Lands in order 
     to facilitate the construction of the Bonneville Unit of the 
     Central Utah Project. In exchange the United States undertook 
     to develop substitute water for the benefit of the Tribe.
       (3) It was intended that the Central Utah Project, through 
     construction of the Upalco and Uintah units (Initial Phase) 
     and the Ute Indian Unit (Ultimate Phase) would provide water 
     for growth in the Uinta Basin and for late season irrigation 
     for both the Indians and non-Indian water users. However, 
     construction of the Upalco and Uintah Units has not been 
     undertaken, in part because the Bureau was unable to find 
     adequate and economically feasible reservoir sites. The Ute 
     Indian unit has not been authorized by Congress, and there is 
     no present intent to proceed with Ultimate Phase 
     Construction.
       (4) Without the implementation of the plans to construct 
     additional storage in the Uinta Basin, the water users (both 
     Indian and non-Indian) continue to suffer water shortages and 
     resulting economic decline.
       (b) Purpose.--This Act and the proposed Revised Ute Indian 
     Compact of 1990 are intended to--
       (1) quantify the Tribe's reserved water rights;
       (2) allow increased beneficial use of such water; and 
       (3) put the Tribe in the same economic position it would 
     have enjoyed had the features contemplated by the September 
     20, 1965 Agreement been constructed.

     SEC. 502. PROVISIONS FOR PAYMENT TO THE UTE INDIAN TRIBE.

       (a) Bonneville Unit Tribal Credits.--(1) Commencing one 
     year after the date of enactment of this Act, and continuing 
     for 50 years, the Tribe shall receive from the United States 
     26 percent of the annual Bonneville Unit municipal and 
     industrial capital repayment obligation attributable to 
     35,500 acre-feet of water, which represents a portion of the 
     Tribe's water rights that were to be supplied by storage from 
     the Central Utah Project, but will not be supplied because 
     the Upalco and Uintah units are not to be constructed.
       (2)(A) Commencing in the year 2042, the Tribe shall collect 
     from the District 7 percent of the then fair market value of 
     35,500 acre-feet of Bonneville Unit agricultural water which 
     has been converted to municipal and industrial water. The 
     fair market value of such water shall be recalculated every 
     five years.
       (B) In the event 35,500 acre-feet of Bonneville Unit 
     converted agricultural water to municipal and industrial have 
     not yet been marketed as of the year 2042, the Tribe shall 
     receive 7 percent of the fair market value of the first 
     35,500 acre-feet of such water converted to municipal and 
     industrial water. The monies received by the Tribe under this 
     title shall be utilized by the Tribe for governmental 
     purposes, shall not be distributed per capita, and shall be 
     used to enhance the educational, social, and economic 
     opportunities for the Tribe.
       (b) Bonneville Unit Tribal Waters.--The Secretary is 
     authorized to make any unused capacity in the Bonneville Unit 
     Strawberry Aqueduct and Collection System diversion 
     facilities available for use by the Tribe. Unused capacity 
     shall constitute capacity, only as available, in excess of 
     the needs of the District for delivery of Bonneville Unit 
     water and for satisfaction of minimum streamflow obligations 
     established by this Act. In the event that the Tribe elects 
     to place water in these components of the Bonneville Unit 
     system, the Secretary and District shall only impose an 
     operation and maintenance charge. Such charge shall commence 
     at the time of the Tribe's use of such facilities. The 
     operation and maintenance charge shall be prorated on a per 
     acre-foot basis, but shall only include the operation and 
     maintenance costs of facilities used by the Tribe and shall 
     only apply when the Tribe elects to use the facilities. As 
     provided in the Ute Indian Compact, transfers of certain 
     Indian reserved rights water to different lands or different 
     uses will be made in accordance with the laws of the State of 
     Utah governing change or exchange applications.
       (c) Election to Return Tribal Waters.--Notwithstanding the 
     authorization provided for in subparagraph (b), the Tribe may 
     at any time elect to return all or a portion of the water 
     which it delivered under subparagraph (b) for use in the 
     Uinta Basin. Any such Uinta Basin use shall protect the 
     rights of non-Indian water users existing at the time of the 
     election. Upon such election, the Tribe will relinquish any 
     and all rights which it may have acquired to transport such 
     water through the Bonneville Unit facilities.

     SEC. 503. TRIBAL USE OF WATER.

       (a) Ratification of Revised UTE Indian Compact.--The 
     Revised Ute Indian Compact of 1990, dated October 1, 1990, 
     reserving waters to the Ute Indian Tribe and establishing the 
     uses and management of such Tribal waters, is hereby ratified 
     and approved, subject to re-ratification by the State and the 
     Tribe. The Secretary is authorized to take all actions 
     necessary to implement the Compact.
       (b) The Indian Intercourse Act.--The provisions of section 
     2116 of the Revised Statutes (25 U.S.C. 177) shall not apply 
     to any water rights confirmed in the Compact. Nothing in this 
     subsection shall be considered to amend, construe, supersede 
     or preempt any State law, Federal law, interstate compact or 
     international treaty that pertains to the Colorado River or 
     its tributaries, including the appropriation, use, 
     development and storage, regulation, allocation, 
     conservation, exportation or quality of those waters.
       (c) Restriction on Disposal of Waters into the Lower 
     Colorado River Basin.--None of the waters secured to the 
     Tribe in the Revised Ute Indian Compact of 1990 may be sold, 
     exchanged, leased, used, or otherwise disposed of into or in 
     the Lower Colorado River Basin, below Lees Ferry, unless 
     water rights within the Upper Colorado River Basin in the 
     State of Utah held by non-Federal, non-Indian users could be 
     so sold, exchanged, leased, used, or otherwise disposed of 
     under Utah State law, Federal law, interstate compacts, or 
     international treaty pursuant to a final, non-appealable 
     order of a Federal court or pursuant to an agreement of the 
     seven States signatory to the Colorado River Compact; 
     Provided, however, That in no event shall such transfer of 
     Indian water rights take place without the filing and 
     approval of the appropriate applications with the Utah State 
     Engineer pursuant to Utah State law.
       (d) Use of Water Rights.--The use of the rights referred to 
     in subsection (a) within the State of Utah shall be governed 
     solely as provided in this section and the Revised Compact 
     referred to in section 503(a). The Tribe may voluntarily 
     elect to sell, exchange, lease, use, or otherwise dispose of 
     any portion of a water right confirmed in the Revised Compact 
     off the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation. If the Tribe so 
     elects, and as a condition precedent to such sale, exchange, 
     lease, use, or other disposition, that portion of the Tribe's 
     water right shall be changed to a State water right, but 
     shall be such a State water right only during the use of that 
     right off the reservation, and shall be fully subject to 
     State laws, Federal laws, interstate compacts, and 
     international treaties applicable to the Colorado River and 
     its tributaries, including the appropriation, use, 
     development, storage, regulation, allocation, conservation, 
     exportation, or quality of those waters. 
       (e) Rules of Construction.--Nothing in titles II through VI 
     of this Act or in the Revised Ute Indian Compact of 1990 
     shall--
       (1) constitute authority for the sale, exchange, lease, 
     use, or other disposal of any Federal reserved water right 
     off the reservation;
       (2) constitute authority for the sale, exchange, lease, 
     use, or other disposal of any Tribal water right outside the 
     State of Utah; or
       (3) be deemed a Congressional determination that any 
     holders of water rights do or do not have authority under 
     existing law to sell, exchange, lease, use, or otherwise 
     dispose of such water or water rights outside the State of 
     Utah.

     SEC. 504. TRIBAL FARMING OPERATIONS.

       Of the amounts authorized to the appropriated by section 
     501, $45,000,000 is authorized for the Secretary to permit 
     the Tribe to develop over a three-year-period--
       (1) a 7,500 acre farming/feed lot operation equipped with 
     satisfactory off-farm and on-farm water facilities out of 
     tribally-owned lands and adjoining non-Indian lands now 
     served by the Uintah Indian Irrigation Project;
       (2) a plan to reduce the Tribe's expense on the remaining 
     sixteen thousand acres of trib- 

[[Page 2837]]

     al land now served by the Uintah Indian Irrigation Project; 
     and
       (3) a fund to permit tribal members to upgrade their 
     individual farming operations.

     Any non-Indian lands acquired under this section shall be 
     acquired from willing sellers and shall not be added to the 
     reservation of the Tribe.

     SEC. 505. RESERVOIR, STREAM, HABITAT AND ROAD IMPROVEMENTS 
                   WITH RESPECT TO THE UTE INDIAN RESERVATION.

       (a) Repair of Cedarview Reservoir.--Of the amount 
     authorized to be appropriated by section 201, $5,000,000 
     shall be available to Secretary, in cooperation with the 
     Tribe, to repair the leak in Cedarview Reservoir in Dark 
     Canyon, Duchesne County, Utah, so that the resultant surface

     Tribe that it retains the right to develop lands as set forth 
     in the Ute Indian Compact and deferred in such agreement. 
     Nothing in this waiver of claims shall prevent the Tribe from 
     enforcing rights granted to it under this Act or under the 
     Compact. To the extent necessary to effect a complete release 
     of the claims, the United States concurs in such release.
       (c) Resurrection of Claims.--In the event the Tribe does 
     not receive on a timely basis the moneys described in section 
     502, the Tribe is authorized to bring an action for an 
     accounting against the United States, if applicable, in the 
     United States Claims Court for moneys owed plus interest at 
     10 percent, and against the District, if applicable, in the 
     United States District Court for the District of Utah for

     Agriculture and with the assistance and cooperation of an 
     oversight committee consisting of representatives of the 
     Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of Agriculture, 
     Environmental Protection Agency, United States Fish and 
     Wildlife Service, United States Geological Survey, South 
     Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks, South Dakota 
     Department of Water and Natural Resources, Yankton-Sioux 
     Tribe, and the Lake Andes-Wagner Water Systems, Inc., carry 
     out a demonstration program (hereinafter in this title the 
     ``Demonstration Program'') in substantial accordance with the 
     ``Lake Andes-Wagner-Mary II Demonstration Program Plan of 
     Study,'' dated May 1990, a copy of which is on file with the 
     Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate and 
     the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs of the House of 
     Representatives.
       (b) The objectives of the Demonstration Program shall 
     include:

[[Page 2844]]

       (1) development of accurate and definitive means of 
     quantifying projected irrigation and drainage requirements 
     and providing reliable estimates of drainage return flow 
     quality and quantity with respect to glacial till and other 
     soils found in the specific areas to be served with 
     irrigation water by the planned Lake Andes-Wagner Unit and 
     Marty II Unit and which may also have application to the 
     irrigation and drainage of similar soils found in other areas 
     of the United States;
       (2) development of best management practices for the 
     purpose of improving the efficiency of irrigation water use 
     and developing and demonstrating management techniques and 
     technologies for glacial till soils which will prevent or 
     otherwise ameliorate the degradation of water quality by 
     irrigation practices;
       (3) investigation and demonstration of the potential for 
     development and enhancement of wetlands and fish and wildlife 
     within and adjacent to the service areas of the planned Lake 
     Andes-Wagner Unit and the Marty II Unit through the 
     application of water and other management practices;
       (4) investigation and demonstration of the suitability of 
     glacial till soils for crop production under irrigation, 
     giving special emphasis to crops of agricultural commodities 
     for which an acreage reduction program is not in effect under 
     the provisions of the Agriculture Act of 1949 (7 U.S.C. 1461 
     et seq.) or by any successor programs established for crop 
     years subsequent to 1990.
       (c) Study sites shall be obtained through leases from 
     landowners who voluntarily agree to participate in the 
     Demonstration Program under the following conditions:
       (1) rentals paid under a lease shall be based on the fair 
     rental market value prevailing for dry land farming of lands 
     of similar quantity and quality plus a payment representing 
     reasonable compensation for inconveniences to be encountered 
     by the lessor;
       (2) the Demonstration Program shall provide for the--
       (A) supply of all water, delivery system, pivot systems and 
     drains;
       (B) operate and maintain the irrigation system;
       (C) Secretary of Agriculture to supply all seed, 
     fertilizers and pesticides and make standardized equipment 
     available;
       (D) Secretary of Agriculture to determine crop rotations 
     and cultural practices;
       (E) have unrestricted access to leased lands;
       (3) the Secretary and the Secretary of Agriculture may 
     contract with the lessor and/or custom operators to 
     accomplish agriculture work, which work shall be performed in 
     accordance with the Demonstration Program;
       (4) no grazing may be performed on a study site;
       (5) crops grown shall be the property of the United States; 
     and 
       (6) at the conclusion of the lease, the lands involved 
     will, to the extent practicable, be restored by the Secretary 
     to their pre-leased condition at no expense to the lessor.
       (d) The Secretary of Agriculture shall offer crops grown 
     under the Demonstration Program for sale to the highest 
     bidder under terms and conditions to be prescribed by the 
     Secretary. Any crops not sold shall be disposed of as the 
     Secretary determines to be appropriate, except that no crop 
     may be given away to any for-profit entity or farm operator. 
     All receipts from crop sales shall be covered into the 
     Treasury to the credit of the fund from which appropriations 
     for the conduct of the Demonstration Program are derived.
       (e) The land from each ownership in a study site shall be 
     established by the Secretary as a separate farm. The 
     Secretary of Agriculture shall provide for lessors to 
     preserve the cropland base and history on lands leased to the 
     Demonstration Project under the same terms and conditions 
     provided for under section 1236(b) of the Food Security Act 
     of 1985 (7 U.S.C. 3836(b)). Establishment of such study site 
     farms shall not entitle the Secretary to participate in farm 
     programs or to build program base.
       (f) The Secretary shall periodically, but not less often 
     than once a year, report to the Committee on Energy and 
     Natural Resources of the Senate, to the Committee on Interior 
     and Insular Affairs and the Committee on Agriculture of the 
     House of Representatives, and to the Governor of South Dakota 
     concerning the activities undertaken pursuant to this 
     section. The Secretary's reports and other information and 
     data developed pursuant to this section shall be available to 
     the public without charge. Each Demonstration Program report, 
     including the report referred to in paragraph (3) of this 
     subsection, shall evaluate data covering the results of the 
     Demonstration Program as carried out on the six study sites 
     during the period covered by the report together with data 
     developed under the wetlands enhancement aspect during that 
     period. The demonstration phase of the Demonstration Program 
     shall terminate at the conclusion of the fifth full 
     irrigation season. Promptly thereafter, the Secretary shall:
       (1) remove temporary facilities and equipment and restore 
     the study sites as nearly as practicable to their prelease 
     condition. The Secretary may transfer the pumping plant and/
     or distribution lines to public agencies for uses other than 
     commercial irrigation if so doing would be less costly than 
     removing such equipment;
       (2) otherwise wind up the Demonstration Program; and
       (3) prepare, in coordination with the Secretary of 
     Agriculture, a concluding report and recommendations covering 
     the entire demonstration phase, which report shall be 
     transmitted by the Secretary to the Congress and to the 
     Governor of South Dakota not later than April 1 of the 
     calendar year following the calendar year in which the 
     demonstration phase of the Demonstration Program terminates. 
     The Secretary's concluding report, together with other 
     information and data developed in the course of the 
     Demonstration Program, shall be available to the public 
     without charge.
       (g) Costs of the Demonstration Program funded by 
     Congressional appropriations shall be accounted for pursuant 
     to the Act of October 29, 1971 (85 Stat. 416). Costs incurred 
     by the State of South Dakota and any agencies thereof arising 
     out of consultation and participation in the Demonstration 
     Program shall not be reimbursed by the United States.
       (h) Funding to cover expenses of the Federal agencies 
     participating in the Demonstration Program shall be included 
     in the budget submittals for the Bureau of Reclamation. The 
     Secretary, using only funds appropriated for the 
     Demonstration Program, shall transfer to the other Federal 
     agencies funds appropriated for their expenses.

     acreage base determined under title V of that Act as so 
     amended and the program payment yield determined under title 
     V of the Act as so amended shall be the crop acreage base and 
     program payment yield established for the crop year 
     immediately preceding the crop year in which the development 
     period for each Unit is initiated. For any successor programs 
     established for crop years subsequent to 1995, the acreage 
     and yield on which any program payments are based shall be 
     determined without taking into consideration any increase in 
     acreage or yield resulting from the construction and 
     operation of the Units.
       (f) Mitigation of fish and wildlife losses incurred as a 
     result of the construction and operation of the facilities 
     authorized by this section shall be concurrent with the

   TITLE XXIII--PLATORO RESERVOIR AND DAM, SAN LUIS VALLEY PROJECT, 
                                COLORADO

     SEC. 2301. FINDINGS AND DECLARATIONS.

       The Congress finds that and declares the following:
       (1) Platoro Dam and Reservoir of the Platoro Unit of the 
     Conejos Division of the San Luis Valley Project was built in 
     1951 and for all practical purposes has not been usable 
     because of the constraints imposed by the Rio Grande Compact 
     of 1939 on the use of the Rio Grande River among the States 
     of Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas.
       (2) The usefulness of Platoro Reservoir under future 
     compact compliance depends upon the careful conservation and 
     wise management of water and requires the operation of the 
     reservoir project in conjunction with privately owned water 
     rights of the local water users.
       (3) It is in the best interest of the people of the United 
     States to--
       (A) transfer operation, maintenance, and replacement 
     responsibility for the Platoro Dam and Reservoir to the 
     Conejos Water Conservancy District of the State of Colorado, 
     which is the local water user district with repayment 
     responsibility to the United States, and the local 
     representative of the

[[Page 2846]]

     water users with privately owned water rights;
       (B) relieve the people of the United States from further 
     risk or obligation in connection with the collection of 
     construction charge repayments and annual operation and 
     maintenance payments for the Platoro Dam and Reservoir by 
     providing for payment of a one-time fee to the United States 
     in lieu of the scheduled annual payments and termination of 
     any further repayment obligation to the United States and the 
     District (Contract No. I1r-1529, as amended); and
       (C) determine such one-time fee, taking into account the 
     assumption by the District of all of the operations and 
     maintenance costs associated with the reservoir, including 
     the existing Federal obligation for the operation and 
     maintenance of the reservoir for flood control purposes, and 
     maintaining a minimum stream flow as provided in section 
     2302(d) of this title.

     SEC. 2302. TRANSFER OF OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE 
                   RESPONSIBILITY OF PLATORO RESERVOIR.

       (a) In General.--The Secretary is authorized and directed 
     to undertake the following:
       (1) Accept a one-time payment of $450,000 from the district 
     in lieu of the repayment obligation of paragraphs 8(d) and 11 
     of the Repayment Contract between the United States and the 
     District (No. I1r-1529) as amended.
       (2) Enter into an agreement for the transfer of all of the 
     operation and maintenance functions of the Platoro Dam and 
     Reservoir, including the operation and maintenance of the 
     reservoir for flood control purposes, to the District. The 
     agreement shall provide--
       (A) that the District will have the exclusive 
     responsibility for operations and the sole obligation for all 
     of the maintenance of the reservoir in a satisfactory 
     condition for the life of the reservoir subject to review of 
     such maintenance by the Secretary to ensure compliance with 
     reasonable operation, maintenance and dam safety requirements 
     as they apply to Platoro Dam, and Reservoir under Federal and

     operate the Platoro Dam and Reservoir in such a way as to 
     provide--
       (i) that releases of bypass from the reservoir flush out 
     the channel of the Conejos River periodically in the spring 
     or early summer to maintain the hydrologic regime of the 
     river; and
       (ii) that any releases from the reservoir contribute to 
     even flows in the river as far as possible from October 1 to 
     December 1 so as to be sensitive to the brown trout spawn.
       (b) Operation of the Platoro Dam and Reservoir by the 
     District for water supply uses (including storage and 
     exchange of water rights owned by the District or its 
     constituents), interstate compact and flood control purposes

     fishery objectives referred to in subparagraph (A).
       (2) The District will provide and maintain a permanent pool 
     in the Platoro Reservoir for fish, wildlife, and recreation 
     purposes, in the amount of 3,000 acre-feet, including the 
     initial filling of the pool and periodic replenishment of 
     seepage and evaporation loss: Provided, however,  That if 
     necessary to maintain the winter instream flow provided in 
     subparagraph (3), the permanent pool may be allowed to be 
     reduced to 2,400 acre-feet.
       (3) In order to preserve fish and wildlife habitat below 
     Platoro Reservoir, the District shall maintain releases of 
     water from Platoro Reservoir of 7 cubic feet per second 
     during the months of October through April and shall bypass 
     40 cubic feet per second or natural inflow, whichever is

     to the National Forest System.
       (e) Flood Control Management.--The Secretary of the Army, 
     acting through the Chief of Engineers, shall retain exclusive 
     authority over Platoro Dam and Reservoir for flood control 
     purposes and shall direct the District in the operation of 
     the dam for such purposes. To the extent possible, management 
     by the Secretary of the Army under this subsection shall be 
     consistent with water supply use of the reservoir, with the 
     administration of the Rio Grande compact of 1939 by the 
     Colorado State Engineer and with the provisions of subsection

          TITLE XXVIII--RECLAMATION RECREATION MANAGEMENT ACT

     SEC. 2801. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Reclamation Recreation 
     Management Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 2802. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds and declares the following:
       (1) There is a Federal responsibility to provide 
     opportunities for public recreation at Federal water 
     projects.
       (2) Some provisions of the Federal Water Project Recreation 
     Act are outdated because of increases in demand for outdoor 
     recreation and changes in the economic climate for recreation 
     managing entities.
       (3) Provisions of such Act relating to non-Federal 
     responsibility for all costs of operation, maintenance, and 
     replacement of recreation facilities result in an unfair 
     burden, especially in cases where the facilities are old or 
     underdesigned.
       (4) Provisions of such Act that limit the Federal share of 
     recreation facility development at water projects completed 
     before 1965 to $100,000 preclude a responsible Federal share 
     in providing adequate opportunities for safe outdoor 
     recreation.
       (5) There should be Federal authority to expand existing 
     recreation facilities to meet public demand, in partnership 
     with non-Federal interests.
       (6) Nothing in this title changes the responsibility of the 
     Bureau to meet the purposes for which Federal Reclamation 
     projects were initially authorized and constructed.
       (7) It is therefore in the best interest of the people of 
     this Nation to amend the Federal Water Project Recreation Act 
     to remove outdated restrictions and authorize the Secretary 
     of the Interior to undertake specific measures for the 
     management of Reclamation lands.

     SEC. 2803. DEFINITIONS.

       For the purposes of this title:
       (1) The term ``Reclamation lands'' means real property

     authorized under the Federal reclamation laws (the Act of 
     June 17, 1902 (32 Stat. 388, chapter 1093; 43 U.S.C. 371)), 
     and Acts supplementary thereto and amendatory thereof).
       (3) The term ``Reclamation project'' means any water supply 
     or water delivery project constructed or administered by the 
     Bureau of Reclamation under the Federal reclamation laws (the 
     Act of June 17, 1902 (32 Stat. 388, chapter 1093; 43 U.S.C. 
     371), and Acts supplementary thereto and amendatory thereof).

                 TITLE XXX--WESTERN WATER POLICY REVIEW

     SEC. 3001. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Western Water Policy 
     Review Act of 1992.'' 

     SEC. 3002. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) the Nation needs an adequate water supply for all 
     states at a reasonable cost;
       (2) the demands on the Nation's finite water supply are 
     increasing;
       (3) coordination on both the Federal level and the local 
     level is needed to achieve water policy objectives;
       (4) not less than fourteen agencies of the Federal 
     Government are currently charged with functions relating to 
     the oversight of water policy;
       (5) the diverse authority over Federal water policy has 
     resulted in unclear goals and an inefficient handling of the 
     Nation's water policy;
       (6) the conflict between competing goals and objectives by 
     Federal, State, and local agencies as well as by private 
     water users is particularly acute in the nineteen Western 
     States which have arid climates which include the seventeen 
     reclamation States, Hawaii, and Alaska;
       (7) the appropriations doctrine of water allocation which 
     characterizes most western water management regimes varies 
     from State to State, and results in many instances in 
     increased competition for limited resources;
       (8) the Federal Government has recognized and continues to 
     recognize the primary jurisdiction of the several States over 
     the allocation, priority, and use of water resources of the 
     States, except to the extent such jurisdiction has been 
     preempted in whole or in part by the Federal government, 
     including, but not limited to, express or implied Federal 
     reserved water rights either for itself or for the benefit of 
     Indian Tribes, and that the Federal Government will, in 
     exercising its authorities, comply with applicable State 
     laws;
       (9) the Federal Government recognizes its trust 
     responsibilities to protect Indian water rights and assist 
     Tribes in the wise use of those resources;
       (10) Federal agencies, such as the Bureau of Reclamation, 
     have had, and will continue to have major responsibilities in 
     assisting States in the wise management and allocation of 
     scarce water resources; and
       (11) the Secretary of the Interior, given his 
     responsibilities for management of public land, trust 
     responsibilities for Indians, administration of the 
     reclamation program, investigations and reviews into ground 
     water resources through the Geologic Survey, and the 
     Secretary of the Army, given his responsibilities for flood 
     control, water supply, hydroelectric power, recreation, and 
     fish and wildlife enhancement, have the resources to assist 
     in a comprehensive review, in consultation with appropriate 
     officials from the nineteen Western States, into the problems 
     and potential solutions facing the nineteen Western States 
     and the Federal Government in the increasing competition for 
     the scarce water resources of the Western States.

     SEC. 3003. PRESIDENTIAL REVIEW.

       (a) The President is directed to undertake a comprehensive

     prepayment of, the repayment obligation of the District for 
     the reimbursable construction costs of the project allocated 
     to municipal and industrial water supply for the city, and, 
     upon receipt of such prepayment, the District's obligation to 
     the United States shall be reduced by the amount of such 
     costs.
       (b) Payment Amount.--Any prepayment made pursuant to 
     subsection (a) shall realize an amount to the Federal 
     Government calculated by discounting the remaining repayment 
     obligation by the interest rate determined according to this 
     section.
       (c) Interest Rate.--The Secretary shall determine the 
     interest rate in accordance with the guidelines set forth in

     Circular A-129 regarding an allowance for administrative 
     expenses and possible losses, make such an allowance from the 
     perspective of the federal government as lender and not from 
     the perspective of a third party purchasing the loan on the 
     open market.
       (e) Tax Exempt Financing.--If the borrower or purchaser of 
     the loan has access to tax-exempt financing (including, but 
     not limited to, tax-exempt bonds, tax-exempt cash reserves, 
     and cash and loans of any kind from any tax-exempt entity) to 
     finance the transaction, and if the Office of Management

[[Page 2850]]

     and Budget grants the Secretary the right to conduct such a 
     transaction, then the interest rate by which the Secretary 
     discounts the remaining payments due on the loan shall be 
     adjusted by an amount that compensates the federal government 
     for the direct or indirect loss of future tax revenues.
       (f) Limit on Interest Rate.--Notwithstanding any other 
     provision in this title, the interest rate shall not exceed a 
     composite interest rate consisting of the current market 
     yield on Treasury securities of comparable maturities.
       (g) Approval.--The Secretary shall obtain approval from the 
     Secretary of the Treasury and the Director of the Office of

     offer made by the Secretary.
       (i) Title to Project Facilities.--Notwithstanding any 
     payments made by the District pursuant to this section or 
     pursuant to any contract with the Secretary, title to the 
     project facilities shall remain with the United States.
       (j) Definitions.--For the purposes of this section--

     obligation of the District.
       (c) The Secretary shall conduct the investigations and make 
     any offer of a revised schedule of payments pursuant to this 
     section no later than 12 months after the date of enactment

       (2) Upon renewal of any long-term repayment or water 
     service contract providing for the delivery of water from the 
     Central Valley Project, the Secretary shall incorporate all 
     requirements imposed by existing law, including provisions of 
     this title, within such renewed contracts. The Secretary

     the Secretary shall impose on existing contractors an 
     additional mitigation and restoration payment of one and one-
     half times the annual mitigation and restoration payment 
     calculated under subsection 3407(d) of this title for every

     covered to the Restoration Fund; Provided, however, That this 
     paragraph shall not apply to contracts renewed after January 
     1, 1988, and prior to the date of enactment of this title or,

     section 3409 is not completed by October 1, 1997, to any 
     holder of a contract in existence on the date of enactment of 
     this title who enters into a binding agreement with the 
     Secretary prior to October 1, 1997, to renew its contract 
     immediately upon completion of that environmental impact 
     statement, if such contract has not expired prior to such 
     date.

     users, and others in meeting their future water needs, 
     subject to the conditions and requirements of this 
     subsection, all individuals or districts who receive Central 
     Valley Project water under water service or repayment 
     contracts, water rights settlement contracts or exchange 
     contracts entered into prior to or after the date of 
     enactment of this title are authorized to transfer all or a 
     portion of the water subject to such contract to any other 
     California water user or water agency, State or Federal 
     agency, Indian Tribe, or private non-profit organization for 
     project purposes or any purpose recognized as beneficial 
     under applicable State law. Except as provided herein, the 
     terms of such transfers shall be set by mutual agreement 
     between the transferee and the transferor.
       (1) Conditions for transfers.--All transfers to Central 
     Valley Project water authorized by this subsection shall be 
     subject to review and approval by the Secretary under the 
     conditions specified in this subsection. Transfers involving 
     more than 20 percent of the Central Valley Project water 
     subject to long-term contract within any contracting district 
     or agency shall also be subject to review and approval by 
     such district or agency under the conditions specified in 
     this subsection:
       (A) No transfer to combination of transfers authorized by 
     this subsection shall exceed, in any year, the average annual 
     quantity of water under contract actually delivered to the 
     contracting district or agency during the last three years of 
     normal water delivery prior to the date of enactment of this 
     title.
       (B) All water under the contract which is transferred under 
     authority of this subsection to any district or agency which 
     is not a Central Valley Project contractor at the time of 
     enactment of this title shall, if used for irrigation 
     purposes, be repaid at the greater of the full-cost or cost 
     of service rates, or, if the water is used for municipal and 
     industrial purposes, at the greater of the cost of service or 
     municipal and industrial rates.
       (C) No transfers authorized by this subsection shall be 
     approved unless the transfer is between a willing buyer and a 
     willing seller under such terms and conditions as may be 
     mutually agreed upon.
       (D) No transfer authorized by this subsection shall be 
     approved unless the transfer is consistent with State law, 
     including but not limited to provisions of the California 
     Environmental Quality Act.
       (E) All transfers authorized by this subsection shall be 
     deemed a beneficial use of water by the transferor for the 
     purposes of section 8 of the Act of June 17, 1902, 32 Stat. 
     390, 43 U.S.C. 372.
       (F) All transfers entered into pursuant to this subsection 
     for uses outside the Central Valley Project service area 
     shall be subject to a right of first refusal on the same 
     terms and conditions by entities within the Central Valley 
     Project service area. The right of first refusal must be 
     exercised within ninety days from the date that notice is 
     provided of the proposed transfer. Should an entity exercise 
     the right of first refusal, it must compensate the transferee 
     who had negotiated the agreement upon which the right of 
     first refusal is being exercised for that entity's total 
     costs associated with the development and negotiation of the 
     transfer.
       (G) No transfer authorized by this subsection shall be 
     considered by the Secretary as conferring supplemental or 
     additional benefits on Central Valley Project water 
     contractors as provided in section 203 of Public Law 97-293 
     (43 U.S.C. 390(cc)).
       (H) The Secretary shall not approve a transfer authorized 
     by this subsection unless the Secretary has determined, 
     consistent with paragraph 3405(a)(2) of this title, that the 
     transfer will not violate the provisions of this title or 
     other Federal law and will have no significant adverse effect 
     on the Secretary's ability to deliver water pursuant to the 
     Secretary's Central Valley Project contractual obligations or 
     fish and wildlife obligations under this title because of 
     limitations in conveyance or pumping capacity. 
       (I) The water subject to any transfer undertaken pursuant 
     to this subsection shall be limited to water that would have 
     been consumptively used or irretrievably lost to beneficial 
     use during the year or years of the transfer.
       (J) The Secretary shall not approve a transfer authorized 
     by this subsection unless the Secretary determines, 
     consistent with paragraph 3405(a)(2) of this title, that such 
     transfer will have no significant long-term adverse impact on 
     groundwater conditions in the transferor's service area.
       (K) The Secretary shall not approve a transfer unless the 
     Secretary determines, consistent with paragraph 3405(a)(2) of 
     this title, that such transfer will have no unreasonable 
     impact on the water supply, operations, or financial 
     conditions of the transferor's contracting district or agency 
     or its water users.
       (L) The Secretary shall not approve a transfer if the 
     Secretary determines, consistent with paragraph 3405(a)(2) of 
     this title, that such transfer would result in a significant 
     reduction in the quantity or decrease in the quality of water 
     supplies currently used for fish and wildlife purposes, 
     unless the Secretary determines pursuant to findings setting 
     forth the basis for such determination that such adverse 
     effects would be more than offset by the benefits of the 
     proposed transfer. In the event of such a determination, the 
     Secretary shall develop and implement alternative measures 
     and mitigation activities as integral and concurrent elements 
     of any such transfer to provide fish and wildlife benefits 
     substantially equivalent to those lost as a consequence of 
     such transfer.
       (M) Transfers between Central Valley Project contractors 
     within countries, watersheds, or other areas of origin, as 
     those terms are utilized under California law, shall be 
     deemed to meet the conditions set forth in subparagraphs (A) 
     and (I) of this paragraph.
       (2) Review and approval of transfers.--All transfers 
     subject to review and approval under this subsection shall be 
     reviewed and approved in a manner consistent with the 
     following:
       (A) Decisions on water transfers subject to review by a 
     contracting district or agency or by the Secretary shall be 
     rendered within ninety days of receiving a written transfer 
     proposal from the transferee or transferor. Such written 
     proposal should provide all information reasonably necessary 
     to determine whether the transfer complies with the terms and 
     conditions of this subsection.
       (B) All transfers subject to review by a contracting 
     district or agency shall be reviewed in a public process 
     similar to that provided for in section 226 of Pub. L. 97-
     293.
       (C) The contracting district or agency or the Secretary 
     shall approve all transfers subject to review and approval by 
     such entity if such transfers are consistent with the terms 
     and conditions of this subsection. To disapprove a transfer, 
     the contracting district or agency or the Secretary shall 
     inform the transferee and transferor, in writing, why the 
     transfer does not comply with the terms and conditions of 
     this subsection and what alternatives, if any, could be 
     included so that the transfer would reasonably comply with 
     the requirements of this subsection.
       (D) If the contracting district or agency or the Secretary 
     fails to approve or disapprove a proposed transfer within 
     ninety days of receiving a complete written proposal from the 
     transferee or transferor, then the transfer shall be deemed 
     approved.
       (3) Transfers executed after September 30, 1999 shall only 
     be governed by the provisions of subparagraphs 3405(a)(1)(A)-
     (C), (E), (G), (H), (I), (L), and (M) of this title, and by 
     State law.
       (b) Metering of Water Use Required.--All Central Valley 
     Project water service or repayment contracts for 
     agricultural, municipal, or industrial purposes that are 
     entered into, renewed, or amended under any provision of 
     Federal Reclamation law after the date of enactment of this 
     title, shall provide that the contracting district or agency 
     shall ensure that all surface water delivery systems within 
     its boundaries are equipped with water measuring devices or 
     water measuring methods of comparable effectiveness 
     acceptable to the Secretary within five years of the date of 
     contract execution, amendment, or renewal, and that any new 
     surface water delivery systems installed within its 
     boundaries on or after the date of contract renewal are so 
     equipped. The contracting district or agency shall inform the 
     Secretary and the State of California annually as to the 
     monthly volume of surface water delivered within its 
     boundaries. 
       (c) State and Federal Water Quality Standards.--All Central 
     Valley Project water service or repayment contracts for 
     agricultural, municipal, or industrial purposes that are 
     entered into, renewed, or amended under any provision of 
     Federal Reclamation law after the date of enactment of this 
     title, shall provide that the contracting district or agency 
     shall be responsible for compliance with all applicable State 
     and Federal water quality standards applicable to surface and 
     subsurface agricultural drainage discharges generated within 
     its boundaries. This subsection shall not affect or alter any 
     legal obligation of the Secretary to provide drainage 
     services.
       (d) Water Pricing Reform.--All Central Valley Project water 
     service or repayment contracts for a term longer than three 
     years for agricultural, municipal, or industrial purposes 
     that are entered into, renewed, or amended under any 
     provision of Federal Reclamation law after the date of 
     enactment of this title shall provide that all project water 
     subject to contract shall be made available to districts, 
     agencies, and other contracting entities pursuant to a system 
     of tiered water pricing. Such a system shall specify rates 
     for each district, agency or entity based on a inverted block 
     rate structure with the following provisions:
       (1) the first rate tier shall apply to a quantity of water 
     up to 80 percent of the contract total and shall not be less 
     than the applicable contract rate;
       (2) the second rate tier shall apply to that quantity of 
     water over 80 percent and under 90 percent of the contract 
     total and shall be at a level halfway between the rates 
     established under paragraphs (1) and (3) of this subsection;
       (3) the third rate tier shall apply to that quantity of 
     water over 90 percent of the contract total and shall not be 
     less than the full cost rate; and
       (4) the Secretary shall charge contractors only for water 
     actually delivered.

     The Secretary shall waive application of this subsection as 
     it relates to any project water delivered to produce a crop 
     which the Secretary determines will provide significant and 
     quantifiable habitat values for waterfowl in fields where the 
     water is used and the crops are produced; Provided, That such 
     waiver shall apply only if such habitat values can be assured 
     consistent with the goals and objectives of this title 
     through binding agreements executed with or approved by the 
     Secretary.

[[Page 2854]]

       (e) Water Conservation Standards.--The Secretary shall 
     establish and administer an office on Central Valley Project 
     water conservation best management practices that shall, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture, the 
     California Department of Water Resources, California academic 
     institutions, and Central Valley Project water users, develop 
     criteria for evaluating the adequacy of all water 
     conservation plans developed by project contractors, 
     including those plans required by section 210 of the 
     Reclamation Reform Act of 1982.
       (1) Criteria developed pursuant to this subsection shall be 
     established within six months following enactment of this 
     title and shall be reviewed periodically thereafter, but no 
     less than every three years, with the purpose of promoting 
     the highest level of water use efficiency reasonably 
     achievable by project contractors using best available cost-
     effective technology and best management practices. The 
     criteria shall include, but not be limited to agricultural 
     water suppliers' efficient water management practices 
     developed pursuant to California State law or reasonable 
     alternatives.
       (2) The Secretary, through the office established under 
     this subsection, shall review and evaluate within 18 months 
     following enactment of this title all existing conservation 
     plans submitted by project contractors to determine whether 
     they meet the conservation and efficiency criteria 
     established pursuant to this subsection.
       (3) In developing the water conservation best management 
     practice criteria required by this subsection, the Secretary 
     shall take into account and grant substantial deference to 
     the recommendations for action specific to water conservation 
     and drainage source reduction proposed in the Final Report of 
     the San Joaquin Valley Drainage Program, entitled A 
     Management Plan for Agricultural Subsurface Drainage and 
     Related Problems on the Westside San Joaquin Valley 
     (September 1990).
       (f) Increased Revenues.--All revenues received by the 
     Secretary as a result of the increased repayment rates 
     applicable to water transferred from irrigation use to 
     municipal and industrial use under subsection 3405(a) of this 
     section, and all increased revenues received by the Secretary 
     as a result of the increased water prices established under 
     subsection 3405(d) of this section, shall be covered to the 
     Restoration Fund.

     SEC. 3406. FISH, WILDLIFE AND HABITAT RESTORATION.

       (a) Amendments to Central Valley Project Authorizations.--
     Act of August 26, 1937.--Section 2 of the Act of August 26, 
     1937 (chapter 832; 50 Stat. 850), as amended, is amended--
       (1) in the second proviso of subsection (a), by inserting 
     ``and mitigation, protection, and restoration of fish and 
     wildlife'' after ``Indian reservations,''; 
       (2) in the last proviso of subsection (a), by striking 
     ``domestic uses;'' and inserting ``domestic uses and fish and 
     wildlife mitigation, protection and restoration purposes;'' 
     and by striking ``power'' and inserting ``power and fish and 
     wildlife enhancement'';
       (3) by adding at the end the following: ``The mitigation 
     for fish and wildlife losses incurred as a result of 
     construction, operation, or maintenance of the Central Valley 
     Project shall be based on the replacement of ecologically 
     equivalent habitat and shall take place in accordance with 
     the provisions of this title and concurrent with any future 
     actions which adversely affect fish and wildlife populations 
     or their habitat but shall have no priority over them.''; and
       (4) by adding at the end the following: ``(e) Nothing in 
     this title shall affect the State's authority to condition 
     water rights permits for the Central Valley Project.''
       (b) Fish and Wildlife Restoration Activities.--The 
     Secretary, immediately upon the enactment of this title, 
     shall operate the Central Valley Project to meet all 
     obligations under state and federal law, including but not 
     limited to the federal Endangered Species Act, 16 U.S.C. 
     Sec. 1531, et seq., and all decisions of the California State 
     Water Resources Control Board establishing conditions on 
     applicable licenses and permits for the project. The 
     Secretary, in consultation with other State and Federal 
     agencies, Indian tribes, and affected interests, is further 
     authorized and directed to:
       (1) develop within three years of enactment and implement a 
     program which makes all reasonable efforts to ensure that, by 
     the year 2002, natural production of anadromous fish in 
     Central Valley rivers and streams will be sustainable, on a 
     long-term basis, at levels not less than twice the average 
     levels attained during the period of 1967-1991; Provided, 
     That this goal shall not apply to the San Joaquin River 
     between Friant Dam and the Mendota Pool, for which a separate 
     program is authorized under subsection 3406(c) of this title; 
     Provided further, That the programs and activities authorized 
     by this section shall, when fully implemented, be deemed to 
     meet the mitigation, protection, restoration, and enhancement 
     purposes established by subsection 3406(a) of this title; And 
     provided further, That in the course of developing and 
     implementing this program the Secretary shall make all 
     reasonable efforts consistent with the requirements of this 
     section to address other identified adverse environmental 
     impacts of the Central Valley Project not specifically 
     enumerated in this section.
       (A) This program shall give first priority to measures 
     which protect and restore natural channel and riparian 
     habitat values through habitat restoration actions, 
     modifications to Central Valley Project operations, and 
     implementation of the supporting measures mandated by this 
     subsection; shall be reviewed and updated every five years; 
     and shall describe how the Secretary intends to operate the 
     Central Valley Project to meet the fish, wildlife, and 
     habitat restoration goals and requirements set forth in this 
     title and other project purposes.
       (B) As needed to achieve the goals of this program, the 
     Secretary is authorized and directed to modify Central Valley 
     Project operations to provide flows of suitable quality, 
     quantity, and timing to protect all life stages of anadromous 
     fish, except that such flows shall be provided from the 
     quantity of water dedicated to fish, wildlife, and habitat 
     restoration purposes under paragraph (2) of this subsection; 
     from the water supplies acquired pursuant to paragraph (3) of 
     this subsection; and from other sources which do not conflict 
     with fulfillment of the Secretary's remaining contractual 
     obligations to provide Central Valley Project water for other 
     authorized purposes. Instream flow needs for all Central 
     Valley Project controlled streams and rivers shall be 
     determined by the Secretary based on recommendations of the 
     U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service after consultation with the 
     California Department of Fish and Game.
       (C) The Secretary shall cooperate with the State of 
     California to ensure that, to the greatest degree 
     practicable, the specific quantities of yield dedicated to 
     and managed for fish and wildlife purposes under this title 
     are credited against any additional obligations of the 
     Central Valley Project which may be imposed by the State of 
     California following enactment of this title, including but 
     not limited to increased flow and reduced export obligations 
     which may be imposed by the California State Water Resources 
     Control Board in implementing San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-
     San Joaquin Delta Estuary standards pursuant to the review 
     ordered by the California Court of Appeals in U.S. v. State 
     Water Resources Control Board, 182 Cal.App.3rd 82 (1986), and 
     that, to the greatest degree practicable, the programs and 
     plans required by this title are developed and implemented in 
     a way that avoids inconsistent or duplicative obligations 
     from being imposed upon Central Valley Project water and 
     power contractors.
       (D) Costs associated with this paragraph shall be 
     reimbursable pursuant to existing statutory and regulatory 
     procedures.
       (2) upon enactment of this title dedicate and manage 
     annually 800,000 acre-feet of Central Valley Project yield 
     for the primary purpose of implementing the fish, wildlife, 
     and habitat restoration purposes and measures authorized by 
     this title; to assist the State of California in its efforts 
     to protect the waters of the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San 
     Joaquin Delta Estuary; and to help to meet such obligations 
     as may be legally imposed upon the Central Valley Project 
     under state or federal law following the date of enactment of 
     this title, including but not limited to additional 
     obligations under the federal Endangered Species Act. For the 
     purpose of this section, the term ``Central Valley Project 
     yield'' means the delivery capability of the Central Valley 
     Project during the 1928-1934 drought period after fishery, 
     water quality, and other flow and operational requirements 
     imposed by terms and conditions existing in licenses, 
     permits, and other agreements pertaining to the Central 
     Valley Project under applicable State or Federal law existing 
     at the time of enactment of this title have been met.
       (A) Such quantity of water shall be in addition to the 
     quantities needed to implement paragraph 3406(d)(1) of this 
     title and in addition to all water allocated pursuant to 
     paragraph (23) of this subsection for release to the Trinity 
     River for the purposes of fishery restoration, propagation, 
     and maintenance; and shall be supplemented by all water that 
     comes under the Secretary's control pursuant to subsections 
     3406(b)(3), 3408(h)-(i), and through other measures 
     consistent with subparagraph 3406(b)(1)(B) of this title. 
       (B) Such quantity of water shall be managed pursuant to 
     conditions specified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 
     after consultation with the Bureau of Reclamation and the 
     California Department of Water Resources and in cooperation 
     with the California Department of Fish and Game.
       (C) The Secretary may temporarily reduce deliveries of the 
     quantity of water dedicated under this paragraph up to 25 
     percent of such total whenever reductions due to hydrologic 
     circumstances are imposed upon agricultural deliveries of 
     Central Valley Project water; Provided, That such reductions 
     shall not exceed in percentage terms the reductions imposed 
     on agricultural service contractors; provided further, That 
     nothing in this subsection or subsection 3406(e) shall 
     require the Secretary to operate the project in a way that 
     jeopardizes human health or safety.
       (D) If the quantity of water dedicated under this 
     paragraph, or any portion thereof, is not needed for the 
     purposes of this section, based on a finding by the 
     Secretary, the Secretary is authorized to make such water 
     available for other project purposes.
       (3) develop and implement a program in coordination and in 
     conformance with the plan required under paragraph (1) of 
     this subsection for the acquisition of a water supply to 
     supplement the quantity of water dedicated to fish and 
     wildlife purposes under paragraph (2) of this subsection and 
     to fulfill the Secretary's obligations under paragraph 
     3406(d)(2) of this title. The program should identify how the 
     Secretary intends to utilize, in particular the following 
     options: improvements in or modifications of the operations

[[Page 2855]]

     of the project; water banking; conservation; transfers; 
     conjunctive use; and temporary and permanent land fallowing, 
     including purchase, lease, and option of water, water rights, 
     and associated agricultural land.
       (4) develop and implement a program to mitigate for fishery 
     impacts associated with operations of the Tracy Pumping 
     Plant. Such program shall include, but is not limited to 
     improvement or replacement of the fish screens and fish 
     recovery facilities and practices associated with the Tracy 
     Pumping Plant. Costs associated with this paragraph shall be 
     reimbursed in accordance with the following formula: 37.5 
     percent shall be reimbursed as main project features, 37.5 
     percent shall be considered a nonreimbursable Federal 
     expenditure, and 25 percent shall be paid by the State of 
     California. The reimbursable share of funding for this and 
     other facility repairs, improvements, and construction shall 
     be allocated among project water and power users in 
     accordance with existing project cost allocation procedures.
       (5) develop and implement a program to mitigate for fishery 
     impacts resulting from operations of the Contra Costa Canal 
     Pumping Plant No. 1. Such program shall provide for 
     construction and operation of fish screening and recovery 
     facilities, and for modified practices and operations. Costs 
     associated with this paragraph shall be reimbursed in 
     accordance with the following formula: 37.5 percent shall be 
     reimbursed as main project features, 37.5 percent shall be 
     considered a nonreimbursable Federal expenditure, and 25 
     percent shall be paid by the State of California.
       (6) install and operate a structural temperature control 
     device at Shasta Dam and develop and implement modifications 
     in CVP operations as needed to assist in the Secretary's 
     efforts to control water temperatures in the upper Sacramento 
     River in order to protect anadromous fish in the upper 
     Sacramento River. Costs associated with planning and 
     construction of the structural temperature control device 
     shall be reimbursed in accordance with the following formula: 
     37.5 percent shall be reimbursed as main project features, 
     37.5 percent shall be considered a nonreimbursable Federal 
     expenditure, and 25 percent shall be paid by the State of 
     California.
       (7) meet flow standards and objectives and diversion limits 
     set forth in all laws and judicial decisions that apply to 
     Central Valley Project facilities, including, but not limited 
     to, provisions of this title and all obligations of the 
     United States under the ``Agreement Between the United States 
     and the Department of Water Resources of the State of 
     California for Coordinated Operation of the Central Valley 
     Project and the State Water Project'' dated May 20, 1985, as 
     well as Pub. L. 99-546.
       (8) make use of short pulses of increased water flows to 
     increase the survival of migrating anadromous fish moving 
     into and through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Central 
     Valley rivers and streams. 
       (9) develop and implement a program to eliminate, to the 
     extent possible, losses of anadromous fish due to flow 
     fluctuations caused by the operation of any Central Valley 
     Project storage or re-regulating facility. The program shall 
     be patterned where appropriate after the agreement between 
     the California Department of Water Resources and the 
     California Department of Fish and Game with respect to the 
     operation of the California State Water Project Oroville Dam 
     complex.
       (10) develop and implement measures to minimize fish 
     passage problems for adult and juvenile anadromous fish at 
     the Red Bluff Diversion Dam in a manner that provides for the 
     use of associated Central Valley Project conveyance 
     facilities for delivery of water to the Sacramento Valley 
     National Wildlife Refuge complex in accordance with the 
     requirements of subsection (d) of this section. Costs 
     associated with implementation of this paragraph shall be 
     reimbursed in accordance with the following formula: 37.5 
     percent shall be reimbursed as main project features, 37.5 
     percent shall be considered a nonreimbursable Federal 
     expenditure, and 25 percent shall be paid by the State of 
     California.
       (11) rehabilitate and expand the Coleman National Fish 
     Hatchery by implementing the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's 
     Coleman National Fish Hatchery Development Plan, and modify 
     the Keswick Dam Fish Trap to provide for its efficient 
     operation at all project flow release levels and modify the 
     basin below the Keswick Dam spillway to prevent the trapping 
     of fish. Costs associated with implementation of this 
     paragraph shall be reimbursed in accordance with the 
     following formula: 50 percent shall be reimbursed as main 
     project features and 50 percent shall be considered a 
     nonreimbursable Federal expenditure.
       (12) develop and implement a comprehensive program to 
     provide flows to allow sufficient spawning, incubation, 
     rearing, and outmigration for salmon and steelhead from 
     Whiskeytown Dam as determined by instream flow studies 
     conducted by the California Department of Fish and Game after 
     Clear Creek has been restored and a new fish ladder has been 
     constructed at the McCormick-Saeltzer Dam. Costs associated 
     with channel restoration, passage improvements, and fish 
     ladder construction required by this paragraph shall be 
     allocated 50 percent to the United States as a 
     nonreimbursable expenditure and 50 percent to the State of 
     California. Costs associated with providing the flows 
     required by this paragraph shall be allocated among project 
     purposes.
       (13) develop and implement a continuing program for the 
     purpose of restoring and replenishing, as needed, spawning 
     gravel lost due to the construction and operation of Central 
     Valley Project dams, bank protection projects, and other 
     actions that have reduced the availability of spawning gravel 
     and rearing habitat in the Upper Sacramento River from 
     Keswick Dam to Red Bluff Diversion Dam in the American and 
     Stanislaus Rivers downstream from the Nimbus and Goodwin 
     Dams, respectively. The program shall include preventive 
     measures, such as re-establishment of meander belts and 
     limitations on future bank protection activities, in order to 
     avoid further losses of instream and riparian habitat. Costs 
     associated with implementation of this paragraph shall be 
     reimbursed in accordance with the following formula: 37.5 
     percent shall be reimbursed as main project features, 37.5 
     percent shall be considered a nonreimbursable Federal 
     expenditure, and 25 percent shall be paid by the State of 
     California.
       (14) develop and implement a program which provides for 
     modified operations and new or improved control structures at 
     the Delta Cross Channel and Georgiana Slough during times 
     when significant numbers of striped bass eggs, larvae, and 
     juveniles approach the Sacramento River intake to the Delta 
     Cross Channel or Georgiana Slough. Costs associated with 
     implementation of this paragraph shall be reimbursed in 
     accordance with the following formula: 37.5 percent shall be 
     reimbursed as main project features, 37.5 percent shall be 
     considered a nonreimbursable Federal expenditure, and 25 
     percent shall be paid by the State of California.

     and in consultation with local interests, a barrier at the 
     head of Old River in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to be 
     operated on a seasonal basis to increase the survival of 
     young outmigrating salmon that are diverted from the San 
     Joaquin River to Central Valley Project and Sate Water 
     Project pumping plants and in a manner that does not 
     significantly impair the ability of local entities to divert 
     water. The costs associated with implementation of this 
     paragraph shall be reimbursed in accordance with the 
     following formula: 37.5 percent shall be reimbursed as main 
     project features, 37.5 percent shall be considered a 
     nonreimbursable Federal expenditure, and 25 percent shall be 
     paid by the State of California. 
       (16) establish, in cooperation with independent entities 
     and the State of California, a comprehensive assessment 
     program to monitor fish and wildlife resources in the Central 
     Valley to assess the biological results and effectiveness of 
     actions implemented pursuant to this subsection. 37.5 percent 
     of the costs associated with implementation of this paragraph 
     shall be reimbursed as main project features, 37.5 percent 
     shall be considered a nonreimbursable Federal expenditure, 
     and 25 percent shall be paid by the State of California.
       (17) develop and implement a program to resolve fishery 
     passage problems at the Anderson-Cottonwood Irrigation 
     District Diversion Dam as well as upstream stranding problems 
     related to Anderson-Cottonwood-Irrigation District Diversion 
     Dam operations. Costs associated with implementation of this 
     paragraph shall be allocated 50 percent to the United States 
     as a nonreimbursable expenditure and 50 percent to the State 
     of California.
       (18) if requested by the State of California, assist in 
     developing and implementing management measures to restore 
     the striped bass fishery of the Bay-Delta estuary. Such 
     measures shall be coordinated with efforts to protect and 
     restore native fisheries. Costs associated with 
     implementation of this paragraph shall be allocated 50 
     percent to the United States and 50 percent to the State of 
     California. The United States' share of costs associated with 
     implementation of this paragraph shall be nonreimbursable.
       (19) reevaluate existing operational criteria in order to 
     maintain minimum carryover storage at Sacramento and Trinity 
     River reservoirs to protect and restore the anadromous fish 
     of the Sacramento and Trinity Rivers in accordance with the 
     mandates and requirements of this subsection and subject to 
     the Secretary's responsibility to fulfill all project 
     purposes, including agricultural water delivery.

     federal agencies in the implementation of the on-going 
     program to mitigate fully for the fishery impacts associated 
     with operations of the Glenn-Colusa Irrigation District's 
     Hamilton City Pumping Plant. Such participation shall include 
     replacement of the defective fish screens and fish recovery 
     facilities associated with the Hamilton City Pumping Plant. 
     This authorization shall not be deemed to supersede or alter 
     existing authorizations for the participation of other 
     federal agencies in the mitigation program. 75 percent shall 
     be considered a nonreimbursable Federal expenditure, and 25 
     percent shall be paid by the State of California.
       (21) assist the State of California in efforts to develop 
     and implement measures to avoid losses of juvenile anadromous 
     fish resulting from unscreened or inadequately screened 
     diversions on the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, their 
     tributaries, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, and the Suisun 
     Marsh. Such measures shall include but shall not be limited 
     to construction of screens on unscreened diversions, 
     rehabilitation of existing screens, replacement of existing 
     non-functioning screens, and relocation of diversions to less 
     fishery-sensitive areas. The Secretary's share of costs 
     associated with activities authorized under this paragraph 
     shall not ex- 

[[Page 2856]]

     ceed 50 percent of the total cost of any such activity. 
       (22) provide such incentives as the Secretary determines to 
     be appropriate or necessary, consistent with the goals and 
     objectives of this title, to encourage farmers to participate 
     in a program, which the Secretary shall develop, under which 
     such farmers will keep fields flooded during appropriate time 
     periods for the purposes of waterfowl habitat creation and 
     maintenance and for Central Valley Project yield enhancement; 
     Provided, That such incentives shall not exceed $2,000,000 
     annually, either directly or through credits against other 
     contractual payment obligations, including the pricing 
     waivers authorized under subsection 3405(d) of this tile; 
     Provided further, That the holder of the water contract shall 
     pass such incentives through to farmers participating in the 
     program, less reasonable contractor costs, if any; And 
     provided further, That such water may be transferred subject 
     to section 3405(a) of this title only if the farmer waives 
     all rights to such incentives. This provision shall terminate 
     by the year 2002.
       (23) in order to meet Federal trust responsibilities to 
     protect the fishery resources of the Hoopa Valley Tribe, and 
     to meet the fishery restoration goals of the Act of October 
     24, 1984, Pub. L. 98-541, provide through the Trinity River 
     Division, for water years 1992 through 1996, an instream 
     release of water to the Trinity River of not less than 
     340,000 acre-feet per year for the purposes of fishery 
     restoration, propagation, and maintenance and,
       (A) by September 30, 1996, the Secretary, after 
     consultation with the Hoopa Valley Tribe, shall complete the 
     Trinity River Flow Evaluation Study currently being conducted 
     by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the mandate of 
     the Secretarial Decision of January 14, 1981, in a manner 
     which insures the development of recommendations, based on 
     the best available scientific data, regarding permanent 
     instream fishery flow requirements and Trinity River Division 
     operating criteria and procedures for the restoration and 
     maintenance of the Trinity River fishery; and
       (B) not later than December 31, 1996, the Secretary shall 
     forward the recommendations of the Trinity River Flow 
     Evaluation Study, referred to in subparagraph (A) of this 
     paragraph, to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources 
     and the Select Committee on Indian Affairs of the Senate and 
     the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs and the 
     Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries of the House of 
     Representatives. If the Secretary and the Hoopa Valley Tribe 
     concur in these recommendations, any increase to the minimum 
     Trinity River instream fishery releases established under 
     this paragraph and the operating criteria and procedures 
     referred to in subparagraph (A) shall be implemented 
     accordingly. If the Hoopa Valley Tribe and the Secretary do 
     not concur, the minimum Trinity River instream fishery 
     releases established under this paragraph shall remain in 
     effect unless increased by an Act of Congress, appropriate 
     judicial decree, or agreement between the Secretary and the 
     Hoopa Valley Tribe. Costs associated with implementation of 
     this paragraph shall be reimbursable as operation and 
     maintenance expenditures pursuant to existing law.

     If the Secretary and the State of California determine that 
     long-term natural fishery productivity in all Central Valley 
     Project controlled rivers and streams resulting from 
     implementation of this section exceeds that which existed in 
     the absence of Central Valley Project facilities, the costs 
     of implementing those measures which are determined to 
     provide such enhancement shall become credits to offset 
     reimbursable costs associated with implementation of this 
     subsection.
       (c) San Joaquin and Stanislaus Rivers.--The Secretary 
     shall, by not later than September 30, 1996:
       (1) develop a comprehensive plan, which is reasonable, 
     prudent, and feasible, to address fish, wildlife, and habitat 
     concerns on the San Joaquin River, including but not limited 
     to the streamflow, channel, riparian habitat, and water 
     quality improvements that would be needed to reestablish 
     where necessary and to sustain naturally reproducing 
     anadromous fisheries from Friant Dam to its confluence with 
     the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary. 
     Such plan shall be developed in cooperation with the 
     California Department of Fish and Game and in coordination 
     with the San Joaquin River Management Program under 
     development by the State of California; shall comply with and 
     contain any documents required by the National Environmental 
     Policy Act and contain findings setting forth the basis for 
     the Secretary's decision to adopt and implement the plan as 
     well as recommendations concerning the need for subsequent 
     Congressional action, if any; and shall incorporate, among 
     other relevant factors, the potential contributions of 
     tributary streams as well as the alternatives to be 
     investigated under paragraph (2) of this subsection. During 
     the time that the Secretary is developing the plan provided 
     for in this subsection, and until such time as Congress has 
     authorized the Secretary to implement such plan, with or 
     without modifications, the Secretary shall not, as a measure 
     to implement this title, make releases for the restoration of 
     flows between Gravelly Ford and the Medota Pool and shall not 
     thereafter make such releases as a measure to implement this 
     title without a specific Act of Congress authorizing such 
     releases. In lieu of such requirement, and until such time as 
     flows of sufficient quantity, quality and timing are provided 
     at and below Gravelly Ford to meet the anadromous fishery 
     needs identified pursuant to such plan, if any, entities who 
     receive water from the Friant Division of the Central Valley 
     Project shall be assessed, in addition to all other 
     applicable charges, a $4.00 per acre-foot surcharge for all 
     Project water delivered on or before September 30, 1997; a 
     $5.00 per acre-foot surcharge for all Project water delivered 
     after September 30, 1997 but on or before September 30, 1999; 
     and a $7.00 per acre-foot surcharge for all Project water 
     delivered thereafter, to be covered into the Restoration 
     Fund.
       (2) in the course of preparing the Stanislaus River Basin 
     and Calaveras River Water Use Program Environmental Impact 
     Statement and in consultation with the State of California, 
     affected counties, and other interests, evaluate and 
     determine existing and anticipated future basin needs in the 
     Stanislaus River Basin. In the course of such evaluation, the 
     Secretary shall investigate alternative storage, release, and 
     delivery regimes, including but not limited to conjunctive 
     use operations, conservation strategies, exchange 
     arrangements, and the use of base and channel maintenance 
     flows, in order to best satisfy both basin and out-of-basin 
     needs consistent, on a continuing basis, with the limitations 
     and priorities established in the Act of October 23, 1962 (76 
     Stat. 173). For the purposes of this subparagraph, ``basin 
     needs'' shall include water supply for agricultural, 
     municipal and industrial uses, and maintenance and 
     enhancement of water quality, and fish and wildlife resources 
     within the Stanislaus River Basin as established by the 
     Secretary's June 29, 1981 Record of Decision; and ``out-of-
     basin'' needs shall include all such needs outside of the 
     Stanislaus River Basin, including those of the San Francisco 
     Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary and those of the San 
     Joaquin River under paragraph (1) of this subsection.
       (d) Central Valley Refuges and Wildlife Habitat Areas--In 
     support of the objectives of the Central Valley Habitat Joint 
     Venture and in furtherance of the purposes of this title, the 
     Secretary shall provide, either directly or through

     areas as set forth in the Refuge Water Supply Report and the 
     full water supply needed for full habitat development for 
     those habitat areas identified in the San Joaquin Basin 
     Action Plan/Kesterson Mitigation Action Plan Report prepared 
     by the Bureau of Reclamation. The quantities of water 
     required to supplement the quantities provided under 
     paragraph (1) of this subsection shall be acquired by the 
     Secretary in cooperation with the State of California and in 
     consultation with the Central Valley Habitat Joint Venture 
     and other interests in cumulating increments of not less than 
     ten percent per annum through voluntary measures which 
     include water conservation, conjunctive use, purchase, lease, 
     donations, or similar activities, or a combination of such 
     activities which do not require involuntary reallocations of 
     project yield.
       (3) All costs associated with implementation of paragraph 
     (1) of this subsection shall be reimbursable pursuant to 
     existing law. Incremental costs associated with 
     implementation of paragraph (2) of this subsection shall be 
     fully allocated in accordance with the following formula: 75 
     percent shall be deemed a nonreimbursable Federal 
     expenditure; and 25 percent shall be allocated to the State 
     of California for recovery through direct reimbursements or 
     through equivalent in-kind contributions.
       (4) The Secretary may temporarily reduce deliveries of the 
     quantity of water dedicated under paragraph (1) of this 
     subsection up to 25 percent of such total whenever reductions 
     due to hydrologic circumstances are imposed

[[Page 2857]]

     upon agricultural deliveries of Central Valley Project water; 
     Provided, That such reductions shall not exceed in percentage 
     terms the reductions imposed on agricultural service 
     contractors. For the purpose of shortage allocation, the 
     priority or priorities applicable to the increment of water 
     provided under paragraph (2) of this subsection shall be the 
     priority or priorities which applied to the water in question 
     prior to its transfer to the purpose of providing such 
     increment.
       (5) The Secretary is authorized and directed to construct 
     or to acquire from non-Federal entities such water conveyance 
     facilities, conveyance capacity, and wells as are necessary 
     to implement the requirements of this subsection; Provided, 
     That such authorization shall not extend to conveyance 
     facilities in or around the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta 
     Estuary. Associated construction or acquisition costs shall 
     be reimbursable pursuant to existing law in accordance with 
     the cost allocations set forth in paragraph (3) of this 
     subsection.
       (6) The Secretary, in consultation with the State of 
     California, the Central Valley Habitat Joint Venture, and 
     other interests, shall investigate and report on the 
     following supplemental actions by not later than September 
     30, 1997:
       (A) alternative means of improving the reliability and 
     quality of water supplies currently available to privately 
     owned wetlands in the Central Valley and the need, if any, 
     for additional supplies; and
       (B) water supply and delivery requirements necessary to 
     permit full habitat development for water dependent wildlife 
     on 120,000 acres supplemental to the existing wetland habitat 
     acreage identified in Table 8 of the Central Valley Habitat 
     Joint Venture's ``Implementation Plan'' dated April 19, 1990, 
     as well as feasible means of meeting associated water supply 
     requirements.
       (e) Supporting Investigations.--Not later than five years 
     after the date of enactment of this title, the Secretary 
     shall investigate and provide recommendations to the 
     Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate and 
     the Committees on Interior and Insular Affairs and Merchant 
     Marine and Fisheries of the House on the feasibility, cost, 
     and desirability of developing and implementing each of the 
     following, including, but not limited to, the impact on the 
     project, its users, and the State of California:
       (1) measures to maintain suitable temperatures for 
     anadromous fish survival in the Sacramento and San Joaquin 
     rivers and their tributaries, and the Sacramento-San Joaquin 
     Delta by controlling or relocating the discharge of 
     irrigation return flows and sewage effluent, and by restoring 
     riparian forests;
       (2) opportunities for additional hatchery production to 
     mitigate the impacts of water development and operations on, 
     or enhance efforts to increase Central Valley fisheries; 
     Provided, That additional hatchery production shall only be 
     used to supplement or to re-establish natural production 
     while avoiding adverse effects on remaining wild stocks;
       (3) measures to eliminate barriers to upstream and 
     downstream migration of salmonids in the Central Valley, 
     including but not limited to screening programs, barrier 
     removal programs and programs for the construction or 
     rehabilitation of fish ladders on tributary streams;
       (4) installation and operation of temperature control 
     devices at Trinity Dam and Reservoir to assist in the 
     Secretary's efforts to conserve cold water for fishery 
     protection purposes;
       (5) measures to provide for modified operations and new or 
     improved control structures at the Delta Cross Channel and 
     Georgiana Slough to assist in the successful migration of 
     anadromous fish; and
       (6) other measures which the Secretary determines would 
     protect, restore, and enhance natural production of salmon 
     and steel-head trout in tributary streams of the Sacramento 
     and San Joaquin Rivers, including but not limited to the 
     Merced, Mokulumne, and Calaveras Rivers and Battle, Butte, 
     Deer, Elder, Mill, and Thomes Creeks.
       (f) Report on Project Fishery Impacts.--The Secretary, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of Commerce, the State of 
     California, appropriate Indian tribes, and other appropriate 
     public and private entities, shall investigate and report on 
     all effects of the Central Valley Project on anadromous fish 
     populations and the fisheries, communities, tribes, 
     businesses and other interests and entities that have now or 
     in the past had significant economic, social or cultural 
     association with those fishery resources. The Secretary shall 
     provide such report to the Committee on Energy and Natural 
     Resources of the Senate and the Committees on Interior and 
     Insular Affairs and Merchant Marine and Fisheries of the 
     House of Representatives not later than two years after the 
     date of enactment of this title.
       (g) Ecosystem and Water System Operations Models.--The 
     Secretary, in cooperation with the State of California and 
     other relevant interests and experts, shall develop readily 
     usable and broadly available models and supporting data to 
     evaluate the ecologic and hydrologic effects of existing and 
     alternative operations of public and private water facilities 
     and systems in the Sacramento, San Joaquin, and Trinity River 
     watersheds. The primary purpose of this effort shall be to 
     support the Secretary's efforts in fulfilling the 
     requirements of this title through improved scientific 
     understanding concerning, but not limited to, the following:
       (1) a comprehensive water budget of surface and groundwater 
     supplies, considering all sources of inflow and outflow 
     available over extended periods;
       (2) related water quality conditions and improvement 
     alternatives, including improved temperature prediction 
     capabilities as they relate to storage and flows; 
       (3) surface-ground and stream-wetland interactions;
       (4) measures needed to restore anadromous fisheries to 
     optimum and sustainable levels in accordance with the 
     restored carrying capacities of Central Valley rivers, 
     streams, and riparian habitats;

     maintenance flows to protect and restore natural channel and 
     riparian habitat values;
       (6) implementation of operational regimes at State and 
     Federal facilities to increase springtime flow releases, 
     retain additional floodwaters, and assist in restoring both 
     upriver and downriver riparian habitats;
       (7) measures designed to reach sustainable harvest levels 
     of resident and anadromous fish, including development and 
     use of systems of tradeable harvest rights;
       (8) opportunities to protect and restore wetland and upland 
     habitats throughout the Central Valley;
       (9) measures to enhance the firm yield of existing Central 
     Valley Project facilities, including improved management and 
     operations, conjunctive use opportunities, development of 
     offstream storage, levee setbacks, and riparian restoration.

     All studies and investigations shall take into account and be 
     fully consistent with the fish, wildlife, and habitat 
     protection and restoration measures required by this title or 
     by any other state or federal law. 75 percent of the costs 
     associated with implementation of this subsection shall be 
     borne by the United States as a nonreimbursable cost; the 
     remaining 25 percent shall be borne by the State of 
     California.
       (h) The Secretary shall enter into a binding cost-share 
     agreement with the State of California with respect to the 
     timely reimbursement of costs allocated to the State in this 
     title. Such agreement shall provide for consideration of the 
     value of direct reimbursements, specific contributions to the 
     Restoration Fund, and water, conveyance capacity, or other 
     contributions in-kind that would supplement existing programs 
     and that would, as determined by the Secretary, materially 
     contribute to attainment of the goals and objectives of this 
     title.

     SEC. 3407. RESTORATION FUND.

       (a) Restoration Fund Established.--There is hereby 
     established in the Treasury of the United States the 
     ``Central Valley Project Restoration Fund'' (hereafter 
     ``Restoration Fund'') which shall be available for deposit of 
     donations from any source and revenues provided under 
     sections 3404(c)(3), 3405(f), 3406(c)(1), and 3407(d) of this 
     title. Amounts deposited shall be credited as offsetting 
     collections. Not less than 67 percent of all funds made 
     available to the Restoration Fund under this title are 
     authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary to carry out 
     the habitat restoration, improvement and acquisition (from 
     willing sellers) provisions of this title. Not more than 33 
     percent of all funds made available to the Restoration Fund 
     under this title are authorized to be appropriated to the 
     Secretary to carry out the provisions of paragraphs 
     3406(b)(4)-(6), (10)-(18), and (20)-(22) of this title. 
     Monies donated to the Restoration Fund by non-Federal 
     entities for specific purposes shall be expended for those 
     purposes only and shall not be subject to appropriation.
       (b) Authorization of Appropriations.--Such sums as are 
     necessary, up to $50,000,000 per year (October 1992 price 
     levels), are authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary 
     to be derived from the Restoration Fund to carry out 
     programs, projects, plans, and habitat restoration, 
     improvement, and acquisition provisions of this title. Any 
     funds paid into the Restoration Fund by Central Valley 
     Project water and power contractors and which are also used 
     to pay for the projects and facilities set forth in section 
     3406(b), shall act as an offset against any water and power 
     contractor cost share obligations that are otherwise provided 
     for in this title.
       (c) Mitigation and Restoration Payments by Water and Power 
     Beneficiaries.--
       (1) To the extent required in appropriation Acts, the 
     Secretary shall assess and collect additional annual 
     mitigation and restoration payments, in addition to the 
     charges provided for or collected under sections 3404(c)(3), 
     3405(a)(1)(C), 3405(f), and 3406(c)(1) of this title, 
     consisting of charges to direct beneficiaries of the Central 
     Valley Project under subsection (d) of this section in order 
     to recover a portion or all of the costs of fish, wildfish, 
     and habitat restoration programs and projects under this 
     title.
       (2) The payment described in this subsection shall be 
     established at amounts that will result in collection, during 
     each fiscal year, of an amount that can be reasonably 
     expected to equal the amount appropriated each year, subject 
     to subsection (d) of this section, and in combination with 
     all other receipts identified under this title, to carry out 
     the purpose identified in subsection (b) of this section; 
     Provided, That, if the total amount appropriated under 
     subsection (b) of this section for the fiscal years following 
     enactment of this title does not equal $50,000,000 per year 
     (October 1992 price levels) on an average annual basis, the 
     Secretary shall impose such charges in fiscal year 1998

[[Page 2858]]

     and in each fiscal year thereafter, subject to the 
     limitations in subsection (d) of this section, as may be 
     required to yield in fiscal year 1998 and in each fiscal year 
     thereafter total collections equal to $50,000,000 per year 
     (October 1992 price levels) on a three-year rolling average 
     basis for each fiscal year that follows enactment of this 
     title. 
       (d) Adjustment and Assessment of Mitigation and Restoration 
     Payments.--
       (1) In assessing the annual payments to carry out 
     subsection (c) of this section, the Secretary shall, prior to 
     each fiscal year, estimate the amount that could be collected 
     in each fiscal year pursuant to subparagraphs 2(A) and (B) of 
     this subsection. The Secretary shall decrease all such 
     payments on a proportionate basis from amounts contained in 
     the estimate so that an aggregate amount is collected 
     pursuant to the requirements of paragraph (c)(2) of this 
     section.
       (2) The Secretary shall assess and collect the following 
     mitigation and restoration payments, to be covered to the 
     Restoration Fund, subject to the requirements of paragraph 
     (1) of this subsection:
       (A) The Secretary shall require Central Valley Project 
     water and power contractors to make such additional annual 
     payments as are necessary to yield, together with all other 
     receipts, the amount required under paragraph (c)(2) of this 
     subsection; Provided, That such additional payments shall not 
     exceed $30,000,000 (October 1992 price levels) on a three-
     year rolling average basis; Provided further, That such 
     additional annual payments shall be allocated so as not to 
     exceed $6.00 per acre-foot (October 1992 price levels) for 
     agricultural water sold and delivered by the Central Valley 
     Project, and $12.00 per acre-foot (October 1992 price levels) 
     for municipal and industrial water sold and delivered by the 
     Central Valley Project; Provided further, that the charge 
     imposed on agricultural water shall be reduced, if necessary, 
     to an amount within the probable ability of the water users 
     to pay as determined and adjusted by the Secretary no less 
     than every five years, taking into account the benefits 
     resulting from implementation of this title; Provided 
     further, That the Secretary shall impose an additional annual 
     charge of $25.00 per acre-foot (October 1992 price levels) 
     for Central Valley Project water sold or transferred to any 
     State or local agency or other entity which has not 
     previously been a Central Valley Project customer and which 
     contracts with the Secretary or any other individual or 
     district receiving Central Valley Project water to purchase 
     or otherwise transfer any such water for its own use for 
     municipal and industrial purposes, to be deposited in the 
     Restoration Fund; And Provided further, That upon the 
     completion of the fish, wildlife, and habitat mitigation and 
     restoration actions mandated under section 3406 of this 
     title, the Secretary shall reduce the sums described in 
     paragraph (c)(2) of this section to $35,000,000 per year 
     (October 1992 price levels) and shall reduce the annual 
     mitigation and restoration payment ceiling established under 
     this subsection to $15,000,000 (October 1992 price levels) on 
     a three-year rolling average basis. The amount of the 
     mitigation and restoration payment made by Central Valley 
     Project water and power users, taking into account all funds 
     collected under this title, shall, to the greatest degree 
     practicable, be assessed in the same proportion, measured 
     over a ten-year rolling average, as water and power users' 
     respective allocations for repayment of the Central Valley 
     Project.
       (e) Funding to Non-Federal Entities.--If the Secretary 
     determines that the State of California or an agency or 
     subdivision thereof, an Indian tribe, or a non-profit entity 
     concerned with restoration, protection, or enhancement of 
     fish, wildlife, habitat, or environmental values is able to 
     assist in implementing any action authorized by this title in 
     an efficient, timely, and cost effective manner, the 
     Secretary is authorized to provide funding to such entity on 
     such terms and conditions as he deems necessary to assist in 
     implementing the identified action.
       (f) Restoration Fund Financial Reports.--The Secretary 
     shall, not later than the first full fiscal year after 
     enactment of this title, and annually thereafter, submit a 
     detailed report to the Committee on Energy and Natural 
     Resources and the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate, 
     and the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, the 
     Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, and the Committee 
     on Appropriations of the House of Representatives. Such 
     report shall describe all receipts to and uses made of monies 
     within the Restoration Fund and the Restoration Account 
     during the prior fiscal year and shall include the 
     Secretary's projection with respect to receipts to and uses 
     to be made of the finds during the next upcoming fiscal year.

     the district in implementing the provisions of a water 
     conservation plan approved under section 210 of the 
     Reclamation Reform Act of 1982 and agricultural wastewater 
     management activities developed pursuant to recommendations

     SEC. 3503. FINDINGS; DECLARATIONS.

       (a) Findings.--In recognition of the findings, conclusions, 
     and recommendations of the Secretary's Joint Tribal Advisory 
     Committee, Congress finds that the Three Affiliated Tribes 
     and the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe should be adequately 
     compensated for the taking, in the case of the Three 
     Affiliated Tribes, of 156,000 acres of reservation lands and, 
     in the case of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, 56,000 acres of 
     reservation lands, as the site for the Garrison Dam and 
     Reservoir, and the Oahe Dam and Reservoir. Congress concurs 
     in the Advisory Committee's findings and conclusions that the 
     Untied States Government did not justly compensate such 
     Tribes when it acquired those lands.
       (b) Declarations.--(1) The Congress declares that the Three 
     Affiliated Tribes are entitled to additional financial 
     compensation for the taking of 156,000 acres of their 
     reservation lands, including thousands of acres of prime 
     agricultural bottom lands, as the site for the Garrison Dam 
     and Reservoir, and that such amounts should be deposited in 
     the Recovery Fund established by section 3054(a) for use in 
     accordance with this title.
       (2) The Congress declares that the Standing Rock Sioux 
     Tribe is entitled to additional financial compensation for 
     the taking of over 56,000 acres of its reservation lands, as 
     the site for the Oahe Dam and Reservoir, and that such 
     amounts should be deposited in the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe 
     Economic Recovery Fund established by section 3504(b) for use 
     in accordance with this title.

     SEC. 3504. FUNDS.

     percent of the receipts from deposits to the United States 
     Treasury for the preceding fiscal year from the integrated 
     programs of the Eastern Division of the Pick-Sloan Missouri 
     River Basin Project administered by the Western Area Power 
     Administration, but in no event shall the aggregate of the

       (4) The Secretary of the Treasury shall deposit the 
     interest which accrues on deposits to the Three Affiliated 
     Tribes Economic Recovery Fund in a separate account in the 
     Treasury of the United States. Such interest shall be 
     available, without fiscal year limitation, for use by the 
     Secretary of the Interior, commencing with fiscal year 1998, 
     and each fiscal year thereafter, in making payments to the 
     Three Affiliated Tribes for use for educational, social 
     welfare, economic development, and other programs, subject to

       (2) meaningful Indian self-determination and economic self-
     sufficiency depend on the development of viable Indian 
     reservation economies;
       (3) qualification of rights to water and development of 
     facilities needed to utilize tribal water supplies 
     effectively is essential to the development of viable Indian 
     reservation economies, particularly in arid western States;
       (4) on November 9, 1871, and by actions subsequent thereto, 
     the United States Government established a reservation for 
     the San Carlos Apache Tribe in Arizona;
       (5) the United States, as trustee for the San Carlos Apache 
     Tribe, obtained water entitlements for the Tribe pursuant to 
     the Globe Equity Decree of 1935; however, continued 
     uncertainty as to the full extent of the Tribe's entitlement 
     to water has severely limited the Tribe's access to water and 
     financial resources necessary to develop its valuable 
     agricultural lands and frustrated its efforts to reduce its 
     dependence on Federal program funding and achieve meaningful 
     self-determination and self-sufficiency;
       (6) proceedings to determine the full extent and nature of 
     the Tribe's water rights are currently pending before the 
     United States District Court in Arizona and in the Superior 
     Court of the State of Arizona in and for Maricopa County, as 
     part of the General Adjudication of the Gila River System and 
     Source;
       (7) recognizing that final resolution of pending litigation 
     will take many years and entail great expense to all parties, 
     continue economically and socially damaging limits to the 
     Tribe's access to water, prolong uncertainty as to the 
     availability of water supplies and seriously impair the long-
     term economic planning and development of all parties, the 
     Tribe and its neighboring non-Indian communities have sought 
     to settle their dispute to water and reduce the burdens of 
     litigation;
       (8) after lengthy negotiations, which included 
     participation by representatives of the United States 
     Government, the Tribe, and neighboring non-Indian communities 
     of the Salt River and Gila River Valleys, who are all party 
     to the General Adjudication of the Gila River System and 
     Source, the parties are prepared to enter into an Agreement 
     to resolve all water rights claims between and among 
     themselves, to quantify the Tribe's entitlement to water, and 
     to provide for the orderly development of the Tribe's lands;
       (9) pursuant to the Agreement, the neighboring non-Indian 
     communities will relinquish claims to approximately 58,735 
     acre-feet of surface water to the Tribe, provide the means of 
     storing water supplies of the Tribe behind Coolidge Dam on 
     the Gila River in Arizona to enhance fishing, recreation, and 
     other environmental benefits, and make substantial additional 
     contributions to carry out the Agreement's provisions; and
       (10) to advance the goal of Federal Indian policy and to 
     fulfill the trust responsibility of the United States to the 
     Tribe, it is appropriate that the United States participate 
     in the implementation of the Agreement and contribute funds 
     for the rehabilitation and expansion of existing reservation 
     irrigation facilities so as to enable the Tribe to utilize 
     fully its water resources in developing a diverse, efficient 
     reservation economy.
       (b) Purposes of Title.--It is the purpose of this title--
       (1) to approve, ratify, and confirm the Agreement to be 
     entered into by the Tribe and its neighboring non-Indian 
     communities,
       (2) to authorize and direct the Secretary of the Interior 
     to execute and perform such Agreement, and
       (3) to authorize the actions and appropriations necessary 
     for the United States to fulfill its legal and trust 
     obligations to the Tribe as provided in the Agreement and 
     this title.

     Secretary shall deposit into the Fund the funds authorized to 
     be appropriated in subsection (c) and the $3,000,000 provided 
     by the State of Arizona pursuant to the Agreement. There

     or to the Secretary on behalf of the Tribe from leases or 
     options to lease water authorized by section 3706 of this 
     title. Such sums shall be invested in interest-bearing

       (d) Use of Fund.--When the authorizations contained in 
     section 3708(b) of this title are effective, the principal of

     entitlement, to defray the cost to the Tribe of CAP 
     operation, maintenance and replacement charges are 
     appropriate, and for other economic and community development 
     purposes. The income from the Fund shall be distributed by 
     the Secretary to the San Carlos Apache Tribe only upon 
     presentation to the Secretary of a certified copy of a duly 
     enacted Resolution of the Tribal Council requesting 
     distribution and a written budget approved by the Tribal 
     Council. Such income may thereafter be expended only in 
     accordance with such budget. Income not distributed shall be 
     added to principal. The principal from the Fund may be 
     distributed by the Secretary to the San Carlos Apache Tribe 
     only upon presentation to the Secretary of a certified copy 
     of a duly enacted Resolution of the Tribal Council requesting 
     distribution and a written budget approved by the Tribal 
     Council and the Secretary. Such principal may thereafter be 
     expended only in accordance with such budget: Provided, 
     however, That the principal may only be utilized for long-
     term economic development projects. In approving a budget for 
     the distribution of income or principal, The Secretary shall, 
     in accordance with regulations promulgated pursuant to 
     subsection (e) of this section, be assured that methods exist 
     and will be employed to ensure the use of the funds shall be 
     in accordance with the approved budget.
       (e) Regulations.--The Secretary shall, no later than 30 
     days after the date the authorizations contained in section 
     3708(b) are effective, promulgate regulations necessary to 
     carry out the purposes of subsection (d).
       (f) Disclaimer.--The United States shall not be liable for 
     any claim or cause of action arising from the Tribe's use or 
     expenditure of monies distributed from the Fund. 

     SEC. 3708. SATISFACTION OF CLAIMS

     other laws (including claims for water rights in ground 
     water, surface water, and effluent) from time immemorial to 
     the effective date of this title. Notwithstanding the 
     foregoing, nothing in this title shall be deemed to recognize 
     or establish any right of a member of the Tribe to water on 
     the Tribe's Reservation.
       (b) Release.--The Tribe, on behalf of itself and its 
     members, and the Secretary on behalf of the United States, 
     are authorized, as part of the performance of the obligations 
     under the Agreement, to execute a waiver and release, except 
     as provided in the Agreement, of all claims of water rights 
     or injuries to water rights (including water rights in ground 
     water, surface water and effluent), from time immemorial to

     claims of water rights (including water rights in ground 
     water, surface water and effluent), from and after the 
     effective date of this title, which the Tribe and its members 
     may have, against the United States, the State of Arizona or

     person, corporation, or municipal corporation, arising under 
     the laws of the United States, the State of Arizona or 
     otherwise.
       (c) Additional Releases.--Except as provided in the 
     Agreement, the United States shall not assert any claim 
     against the State of Arizona or any political subdivision 
     thereof, or any person, corporation or municipal corporation, 
     arising under the laws of the United States, the State of 
     Arizona or otherwise in its own right or on behalf of the 
     Tribe based upon--
       (1) water rights or injuries to water rights (including 
     water rights in ground water, surface water and effluent) of 
     the Tribe and its members, or
       (2) water rights or injuries to water rights (including 
     water rights in ground water, surface water and effluent) 
     held by the United States on behalf of the Tribe and its 
     members.

     contained in subsection (b) of this section do not become 
     effective pursuant to section 3711(a), the Tribe and the

     future water rights claims as to all Reservation lands.

     water right or claims related to the San Carlos Apache 
     Allotments outside the exterior boundaries of the 
     Reservation.

     Central Arizona Water Conservation District or other 
     contractors of CAP water. Any such claim shall be filed 
     within two years of the date of enactment of this Act, and 
     shall be heard by the court on an expedited basis. If such a 
     claim is filed and the court grants judgment for the 
     plaintiff(s), the court shall award such relief as it deems 
     proper, and shall award costs and attorneys' fees to the 
     plaintiff(s). Any judgment of the court shall be subject to 
     appeal on the same basis that other judgments of that court 
     are subject to review under existing law.
       (2) For purposes of this subsection, ``claim'' means a 
     claim that the reallocation of water to the Tribe pursuant to 
     section 3904(a) of this Act has unlawfully deprived the 
     Central Arizona Water Conservation District or other 
     contractors of CAP water of legal rights to such water.

     agreement by the Secretary as provided for in section 3710(c)

     Secretary shall carry out all necessary environmental 
     compliance during the implementation phase of this 
     settlement.

     U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and other applicable Federal 
     environmental Acts and regulations in proceeding through the

     establish a ground water management plan for the San Carlos 
     Apache Reservation which, except as is necessary to be 
     consistent with the provisions of this title, will have the 
     same effect as a management plan developed under Arizona law.
       (e) Amendment to the Act of April 4, 1938.--The Act of 
     April 4, 1938 (52 Stat. 193; 25 U.S.C. 390) is amended by 
     inserting immediately before the period at the end thereof a 
     colon and the following: ``Provided further, That concessions

     Lake may be granted only by the governing body of the San 
     Carlos Apache Tribe upon such conditions and subject to such 
     limitations as may be set forth in the constitution and 
     bylaws of such Tribe''.
       (f) San Carlos Reservoir.--There is hereby transferred to 
     the Tribe the Secretary's entitlement of 30,000 acre-feet of 
     water, less any evaporation and seepage losses from the date

     which the Secretary may have acquired through substituting 
     CAP water for water to which the Gila River Indian Community

     right to be released from San Carlos Reservoir and delivered 
     to them in 1990.
       (g) Limitation.--No part of the Fund established by section 
     3707(b) of this title, including principal and income, or

     the city's January 1988 application filed with the Arizona 
     Department of Water Resources to appropriate water from the 
     Bill Williams River through a land exchange based on fair 
     market value. If an exchange is made with land purchased by 
     the Bureau of Reclamation for the construction and operation 
     of the Central Arizona Project, then, upon commencement of 
     repayment by CAWCD of the reimbursable costs of the Central 
     Arizona Project, the fair market 
     value of those lands so exchanged shall be credited in full 
     against the annual payments due from CAWCD under Article

     of June 17, 1902 (32 Stat. 388; 43 U.S.C. 391), as amended 
     and supplemented, across project boundaries.
       (l) Water Rights.--Nothing in this title shall be construed 
     to affect the water rights or the water rights claims of any

     confirming in the Agreement, except on behalf of Indian 
     tribes other than the San Carlos Apache Tribe, the Gila River 
     and Little Colorado River watershed water rights of other 
     parties to the Agreement by making express provisions for the

     risks to the safety of employees of child welfare systems, 
     under which empirical information shall be obtained on--
       (i) the incidence of violence toward, or harassment of, 
     such employees;
       (ii) the types of such employees exposed to the greatest 
     risk;
       (iii) the types of harm threatened or inflicted;
       (iv) the characteristics of perpetrators of such violence 
     or threats;
       (v) the most dangerous child welfare settings; and
       (vi) the differences (if any) between urban and rural areas 
     in the above respects;
       (B)(i) enter into a contract with an organization or 
     organizations with demonstrated experience in the field of

     study to examine methodologies for measuring the workloads of 
     providers of child welfare services and providers of 
     community mental health services; and
       (II) which, at a minimum, requires the organization to--

       (aa) examine and document which methodologies are used to 
     measure caseworker and supervisor workloads;
       (bb) develop general standards for measurement and size of

     organization, conduct a study that--
       (i) is designed to evaluate strategies for the recruitment 
     and retention of foster parents, and the effects of foster 
     parent training programs on the retention of foster parents; 
     and
       (ii) shall identify successful recruitment techniques and 
     recommend steps which could be taken at the Federal, State, 
     or local level to improve the recruitment, retention, and 
     training of foster parents.
       (2) Child separation guidelines study.--The Secretary shall 
     conduct a study designed to answer the following questions:
       (A) How do the criteria for removal of children from the 
     home, and the tools for assessing the risk to the child if 
     not removed from the home, vary from State to State? In 
     considering this question, the Secretary should examine--
       (i) the decisionmaking process at the caseworker level in 
     at least 3 States, at least 1 of which has a significantly 
     higher than average rate of removing children from the home, 
     at least 1 of which has an approximately average rate of 
     removing children from the home, and at least 1 of which has 
     a significantly lower than average rate of removing children 
     from the home; and
       (ii) other factors that may affect placement rates such as 
     State laws and policies, interpretations by the State child 
     welfare agency of the reasonable efforts requirement of 
     section 471(a)(15) of the Social Security Act, and the 
     tendency to place or not place children as a result of 
     economic incentives provided by various State and Federal 
     funding sources.
       (B) What guidelines should be used to assess such risk and 
     determine the need for removal of children from the home, and 
     what kind of training would ensure the consistent application 
     of such guidelines? The Secretary should review and compile 
     all current research relevant to this question.
       (c) Availability of Study Results.--The Secretary shall 
     make the results and recommendations of each study described 
     in subsection (b) available for dissemination.
       (d) Effective Date.--This section and the amendment made by 
     subsection (a) shall take effect on the date of the enactment 
     of this Act.

     procedures, and agency legal representation, in effect in the 
     State or locality, that govern determinations of abandonment 
     of children, termination of parental rights, and permanent 
     placement of children, particularly with respect to children 
     abandoned at or shortly after birth;

     in the permanent placement of such children or the 
     consideration of termination of parental rights;

     substantially reducing the amount of time that elapses from 
     the time the child is removed from a home setting and is

     respect to permanent placement and termination of parental 
     rights.
       (ii) Distribution criterion.--In determining whether to 
     approve applications under this paragraph, the Secretary

     of statutory and judicial positions taken by States on such 
     matters.

     participating agencies for total costs associated with 
     providing foster care maintenance, services, and assistance

     respect to children eligible for the demonstration project

     under parts B and E of title IV of the Social Security Act as 
     if the families were receiving benefits under the State plan 
     in effect during the period of the demonstration and such 
     amounts shall be in lieu of amounts otherwise payable under 
     such parts. The State and the Secretary of Health and Human 
     Services shall agree to a methodology for determining such 
     amounts prior to the beginning of the demonstration project.

     would prevent the State from carrying out the demonstration 
     project under this section or prevent the State from 
     effectively achieving the purpose of such a project.
       (d) Date of Commencement.--The demonstration project under 
     this section shall commence not later than December 31, 1993.

     Care Benefits.--The State may not carry out the demonstration 
     project under this section in a manner which impairs the 
     entitlement of any qualified child to foster care benefits 
     under a State plan approved under part E of title IV of the

            Subpart E--Research and Demonstration Provisions

     SEC. 1381. MEASUREMENT AND REPORTING OF WELFARE DEPENDENCY.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds:
       (1) In the period since 1960 the average annual caseload of 
     the aid to families with dependent children (AFDC) program 
     under title IV of the Social Security Act has quintupled.
       (2) In 1990 there were on average almost twice as many 
     households receiving aid to families with dependent children 
     payments as the number of households and individuals 
     receiving unemployment compensation benefits.
       (3) Nearly one-quarter of children born in the period 1967 
     through 1969 were on welfare (AFDC) before reaching age 18. 
     For minority children this ratio approached three-quarters.
       (4) At any given time one-quarter of school children are 
     from single parent families, or households with neither 
     parent. The National Assessment of Educational Progress has 
     documented the educational losses associated with single 
     parent or no parent households.
       (5) Only one-quarter of father-absent families receive full 
     child support and over one-half receive none.
       (6) The average aid to families with dependent children 
     benefit has declined by more than one-third since 1960.
       (7) The burden of welfare dependency is an issue of 
     necessary concern to women, who in overwhelming proportion 
     are the heads of single parent families.
       (8) The rate of welfare dependency may be rising. However, 
     the statistical basis on which to assess this national issue 
     is wholly inadequate, much as the statistical basis for 
     addressing issues of unemployment was inadequate prior to the 
     Employment Act of 1946, which required the creation of the 
     annual economic report of the President and the development 
     of unemployment rates.
       (b) Congressional Policy.--The Congress hereby declares 
     that--
       (1) it is the policy and responsibility of the Federal 
     Government to reduce welfare dependency to the lowest 
     possible level, and to assist families toward self-
     sufficiency, consistent with other essential national goals;
       (2) it is the policy of the United States to strengthen 
     families, to ensure that children grow up in families that 
     are economically self-sufficient and to underscore the 
     responsibility of parents to support their children;
       (3) the Federal Government should help welfare recipients 
     as well as individuals at risk of welfare dependency to 
     improve their education and job skills, to obtain access to 
     necessary support services, and to take such other steps as 
     may assist them to meet their responsibilities to become 
     financially independent; and
       (4) it is the purpose of this section to aid in lowering 
     welfare dependency by providing the public with generally 
     accepted measures of welfare dependency so that it can track 
     dependency over time and determine whether progress is being 
     made in reducing welfare dependency and enabling families to 
     be self-sufficient.
       (c) Development of Welfare Dependency Indicators, Rates, 
     and Predictors.--
       (1) In general.--The Secretary of Health and Human Services 
     (in this section referred to as the ``Secretary'') in 
     consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture shall develop 
     indicators, rates, and predictors of welfare dependency.
       (2) Development.--The Secretary shall--
       (A) develop--
       (i) indicators and rates related to the level of welfare 
     dependency in the United States; and
       (ii) predictors that are correlated with welfare 
     dependency;
       (B) assess the data needed to report annually on the 
     indicators, rates, and predictors, including the ability of 
     existing data collection efforts to provide such data and any 
     additional data collection needs; and
       (C) not later than 2 years after the date of the enactment 
     of this section, provide an interim report containing 
     conclusions resulting from the development and assessment 
     described in subparagraphs (A) and (B), to--
       (i) the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of 
     Representatives;
       (ii) the Committee on Education and Labor of the House of 
     Representatives;
       (iii) the Committee on Agriculture of the House of 
     Representatives;
       (iv) the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of 
     Representatives;
       (v) the Committee on Finance of the Senate;
       (vi) the Committee on Labor and Human Resources of the 
     Senate; and
       (vii) the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry 
     of the Senate.
       (3) Considerations.--In developing the indicators, rates, 
     and predictors, the Secretary shall consider the complexity 
     of patterns of welfare dependency and self-sufficiency 
     attainment, and the external factors, including the economy, 
     that affect welfare dependency.
       (d) Advisory Board on Welfare Dependency.--
       (1) Establishment.--There is established an Advisory Board 
     on Welfare Dependency (in this section referred to as the 
     ``Board'').
       (2) Composition.--The Board shall be composed of 12 members 
     with equal numbers to be appointed by the House of 
     Representatives, the Senate, and the President. The Board 
     shall be composed of experts in the fields of welfare 
     research and statistical methodology, representatives of 
     State and local welfare agencies, and organizations concerned 
     with welfare issues.

[[Page 2906]]

       (3) Vacancies.--Any vacancy occurring in the membership of 
     the Board shall be filled in the same manner as the original 
     appointment for the position being vacated. The vacancy shall 
     not affect the power of the remaining members to execute the 
     duties of the Board.
       (4) Duties.--Duties of the Board shall include--
       (A) providing advice and recommendations to the Secretary 
     on the development of indicators, rates, and predictors of 
     welfare dependency, and the identification of data collection 
     needs and existing data collection efforts, described in 
     subsection (c)(2)(B); and
       (B) providing advice on the development and presentation of 
     the annual report on welfare dependency indicators, rates, 
     and predictors required under subsection (e).
       (5) Travel expenses.--Members of the Board shall not be 
     compensated, but shall receive travel expenses, including per 
     diem in lieu of subsistence, at rates authorized for 
     employees of agencies under subchapter I of chapter 57 of 
     title 5, United States Code, for each day the member is 
     engaged in the performance of duties away from the home or 
     regular place of business of the member.
       (6) Detail of federal employees.--The Secretary shall 
     detail, without reimbursement, any of the personnel of the 
     Department of Health and Human Services to the Board to 
     assist the Board in carrying out its duties. Any detail shall 
     not interrupt or otherwise affect the civil service status or 
     privileges of the Federal employee.
       (7) Voluntary service.--Notwithstanding section 1342 of

     adjustment to which subsection (a)(2) applies, the date on 
     which the payment under subsection (a)(2) is made).

     net decrease multiplied by such highest rate, and
       ``(B) by taking adjustments to credits into account as 
     increases or decreases (whichever is appropriate) in the 
     amount of tax.

     if it were a tax imposed by subtitle C, and

     partnership may file a petition for a readjustment of the

     petition is filed in accordance with this section shall have 
     jurisdiction to determine all partnership items of the

     allocation of such items among the partners (and the 
     applicability of any penalty, addition to tax, or additional 
     amount for which the partnership may be liable under section 
     6242(b)).

     be, and shall be reviewable as such. The date of any such 
     determination shall be treated as being the date of the 
     court's order entering the decision.

     brought under this section is dismissed other than by reason 
     of a rescission under section 6245(b)(3), the decision of the 
     court dismissing the action shall be considered as its 
     decision that the notice of partnership adjustment is 
     correct, and an appropriate order shall be entered in the

     deficiency under section 6212 and any petition filed in 
     respect of the notice shall be treated as an action brought 
     under section 6213.
       ``(4) Finally determined.--For purposes of this subsection, 
     the treatment of partnership items shall be treated as

     account plan with respect to an employee and such 
     contribution is required by reason of such employee's rights 
     under chapter 43 of title 38, United States Code, resulting

     deferrals.--
       ``(A) In general.--If an employee is entitled to the 
     benefits of chapter 43 of title 38, United States Code, with 
     respect to any plan which provides for elective deferrals, 
     such employer shall be treated as meeting the requirements of

     such employer--
       ``(i) permits such employee to make additional elective 
     deferrals under such plan (in the amount determined under 
     subparagraph (B)) during the period (not longer than 5 years) 
     which begins on the date of the reemployment and has the same 
     length as the period of qualified military service which 
     resulted in such rights, and
       ``(ii) makes a matching contribution in respect of any 
     additional elective deferral made pursuant to clause (i) 
     which would have been required had such deferral actually 
     been made during the period of such qualified military 
     service.
       ``(B) Amount of makeup required.--The amount determined 
     under this subparagraph is the maximum amount of elective 
     deferrals that the individual would have been permitted to 
     make under the plan during his period of qualified military 
     service if he had continued to be employed by the employer 
     during such period and received compensation at the same rate 
     as the individual received from the employer immediately 
     before such qualified military service. Proper adjustment 
     shall be made to the amount determined under the preceding 
     sentence for any elective deferrals actually made during the 
     period of such qualified military service.
       ``(C) Elective deferral.--For purposes of this paragraph, 
     the term `elective deferral' has the meaning given to such 
     term by section 402(g)(3); except that such term shall 
     include any deferral of compensation under an eligible 
     deferred compensation plan (as defined in section 457(b)).
       ``(3) Certain retroactive adjustments not required.--
     Nothing in chapter 43 of title 38, United States Code, shall 
     be construed as requiring--
       ``(A) any crediting of earnings to an employee with respect 
     to any contribution before such contribution is actually 
     made, or
       ``(B) any allocation with respect to the period of 
     qualified military service of any of the following amounts--
       ``(i) any forfeiture,
       ``(ii) any employer contribution which was voluntary, and

     was determined without reference to the number of, or 
     compensation of, plan participants before being allocated to 
     the accounts of participants.
       ``(4) Loan repayment suspensions permitted.--If any plan 
     suspends the repayment of any loan made to an individual for 
     the period while such individual is performing qualified 
     military service, such suspension shall not be taken into 
     account for purposes of section 72(p).
       ``(5) Qualified military service.--For purposes of this 
     subsection, the term `qualified military service' means any 
     service in the uniformed services (as defined in chapter 43 
     of title 38, United States Code) by any individual if such 
     individual is entitled to reemployment rights under such 
     chapter 43, with respect to such service.

     subsection, the term `individual account plan' means any 
     defined contribution plan and any eligible deferred 
     compensation plan (as defined in section 457(b)).

       (2) Effective date.--The amendment made by paragraph (1) 
     shall apply in cases where the employee is reemployed on or 
     after August 1, 1990, but only if there is enacted a law 
     passed by the 102d Congress which amends chapter 43 of title 
     38 of the United States Code to expressly provide pension 
     rights for reemployed veterans.

     otherwise made available by the buyer corporation through the 
     use of a corporation (referred to in this subsection (c) as 
     the `profit subsidiary') by reason of such transaction for a 
     period in which the profit subsidiary qualified as a member 
     of the affiliated group of which the Native Corporation was 
     the common parent shall be included in the taxable income of 
     the Native Corporation affiliated group solely for purposes 
     of section 6212 of the Internal Revenue Code--

     If a Native Corporation has engaged in multiple Native 
     Corporation transactions, such election shall be 
     independently made by each buyer corporation on separate

     sole agent.--The common parent of an affiliated group which 
     includes a Native Corporation that elects under subsection 
     (c)(1) shall be the sole agent for the profit subsidiary for 
     purposes of the Native Corporation transaction for the period 
     of affiliation.

     the buyer corporation's return if the election provided in 
     subsection (c)(1) was not made--

     or other amounts attributable to the income of the profit 
     subsidiary.
       ``(B) Filing of refund suit.--A Native Corporation that

     the person who made the overpayment within the meaning of 
     section 6402(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Notwithstanding 
     any law or rule of law, including the preceding sentence, any 
     refund of such overpayment may be made jointly to the Native 
     Corporation and to the electing buyer corporation, as agreed 
     to under paragraph (A)(v) of subsection (c)(1).
       ``(5) Participatory rights of electing buyer corporation.--

     shall not restrict the authority of the Secretary of the 
     Treasury or his delegate to settle or litigate with any 
     nonelecting buyer corporation with respect to any issue 
     relating to such a transaction--
       ``(A) Rights of native corporation.--For any such Native 
     Corporation transaction for which no election is made under 
     subsection (c)(1), the Native Corporation shall have the 
     right to submit a written statement and participate with the

                PART II--AMERICAN CITIZENS ANNUAL REPORT

     SEC. 7918. AMERICAN CITIZENS ANNUAL REPORT ACT.

       (a) Findings and Purposes.--
       (1) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (A) Publicly owned corporations provide shareholders with 
     an annual report on the financial status of the corporation.
       (B) Americans are entitled to an annual report on the 
     financial status of the Federal Government, as all citizens 
     share an interest in the financial well-being of our Federal 
     Government. Accurate, consistent, and

[[Page 2998]]

     broadly distributed reporting on the Nation's finances are 
     central to the conduct of democracy.
       (C) Recent Federal budget deficits have resulted in more 
     than a tripling of the Federal debt. With prospects for 
     enormous Federal budget deficits for the next several years, 
     the debt is a burden that affects the present and future 
     generations of Americans.
       (D) The actual financial performance of the Federal 
     Government often differs from the budget by tens, even 
     hundreds, of billions of dollars. For example, the fiscal 
     year 1991 budget was to result in a deficit of 
     $63,000,000,000. Instead, the actual deficit for the year was 
     $268,700,000,000.
       (E) The Chief Financial Officers Act is leading agencies to 
     develop reliable and relevant financial information that is 
     to be useful to the public, including audited financial 
     statements.
       (F) The Federal Government continues to lose billions of 
     dollars each year through fraud, waste, abuse, and 
     mismanagement. Standardized reporting to the public is 
     essential to the improvement of accountability of public 
     programs.
       (G) The growing Federal debt is hindering economic growth 
     and competitiveness, and ultimately, reduces the standard of 
     living of all Americans.
       (2) Purposes.--The purposes of this section are to--
       (A) provide the American taxpayer with an annual report on 
     the financial status of the Federal Government;
       (B) increase the participation and awareness of the public 
     in finding solutions to the Federal Government's budget 
     problems;
       (C) require the President, Congressional leaders, and the 
     chief financial officers of the Government to report to the 
     public on the well-being of the Federal Government's finances 
     as a part of their fiduciary responsibilities; and
       (D) bring a public focus to efforts already underway that 
     seek to develop and improve financial standards, annual 
     reporting, and systems in the agencies of the Federal 
     Government.
       (b) Annual Report.--Section 3513 of title 31, United States 
     Code, is amended by adding at the end thereof the following:
       ``(d)(1) The Secretary of the Treasury shall prepare an 
     annual report (referred to in this subsection as the `annual 
     report') containing--
       ``(A) the most recent 5-year actual trends in Federal

     year;
       ``(B) a comparison of the actual Federal spending and 
     revenues by major category or source for the most recent 
     fiscal year--
       ``(i) to the budget request estimates as submitted by the 
     President for that year; and
       ``(ii) to the enacted budget,
     along with notes explaining differences;
       ``(C) statements from the President, the Majority Leader of 
     the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives 
     regarding significant aspects of the Government's financial 
     performance; and
       ``(D) any other relevant information on the Government's 
     performance and contributions to economic growth, 
     productivity, and investment in infrastructure recommended 
     for inclusion by the advisory committee and deemed 
     appropriate by the Director of the Office of Management and

     assurance by the Director of the Office of Management and

     to the reliability and relevancy accuracy of the information 
     contained in the annual report.
       ``(4) The annual report shall be prepared annually in a 
     timely fashion after the close of each fiscal year. If the 
     final annual report for a fiscal year is not available within 
     3 calendar months after the close of that fiscal year, a 
     preliminary annual report shall be prepared and published 
     within that period containing substantially all the material 
     described in subparagraphs (A) and (B) of paragraph (1) and 
     the final annual report shall be prepared and published as 
     soon as possible thereafter.
       ``(5)(A) In the case of any booklet of instructions for

                   REPUBLICS UNDER THE GENERALIZED SYSTEM OF 
                   PREFERENCES.

     SEC. 8102. CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF TRADE IN THE WESTERN 
                   HEMISPHERE.

       (a) Findings and Purposes.--
       (1) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (A) countries in the Western Hemisphere are currently 
     considering more integrated and liberalized trade relations, 
     including free trade agreements, free trade zones, 
     restructured tariffs, debt relief, removal of foreign 
     investment barriers, and other economic measures;
       (B) the United States, Mexico, and Canada have recently 
     negotiated a North American Free Trade Agreement;
       (C) a freer trade environment may improve the economies of 
     Mexico and Latin American and Caribbean countries and in turn 
     remove incentives for illegal immigration into the United 
     States;
       (D) the congressionally appointed Commission for the Study 
     of International Migration and Cooperative Economic 
     Development has recommended that the United States promote 
     economic growth in Mexico, South and Central America, Canada, 
     and the Caribbean, because the Commission believes such 
     growth will decrease illegal immigration into the United 
     States from these regions;

[[Page 3001]]

       (E) the European economic integration process, which will 
     be completed by 1992, demonstrates the benefits that can be 
     derived if countries trade with and interact economically 
     with other countries in the same hemisphere;
       (F) solid economic relationships between the United States 
     and other Western Hemisphere countries involve complex issues 
     which require continuing detailed study and discussion;
       (G) the economic interdependency of Western Hemisphere 
     countries requires that a center be established in the 
     southern United States to promote better trade and economic 
     relations among the nations of the Western Hemisphere; and
       (H) such a center should be established in the State of 
     Texas because that State is a primary bridge through which 
     Latin America does business with the United States.
       (2) Purposes.--The purposes of this section are to--
       (A) establish a center devoted to studying and supporting 
     better economic relations among Western Hemisphere countries;
       (B) give the center responsibility for studying the short- 
     and long-term implications of freer trade and more 
     liberalized economic relations among countries from North and 
     South America, and from the Caribbean Basin; and
       (C) provide a forum where scholars and students from 
     Western Hemisphere countries can meet, study, exchange views, 
     and conduct activities to increase economic relations between 
     their respective countries.
       (b) Establishment of the Center for the Study of Western 
     Hemispheric Trade.--The Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act 
     (19 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.) is amended by inserting after 
     section 218 the following new section:

     which affect Western Hemisphere trade, including tariffs, 
     customs, regional and national economics, business 
     development and finance, production and personnel management, 
     manufacturing, agriculture, engineering, transportation,

       ``(3) Publish materials, disseminate information, and 
     conduct seminars and conferences to support and educate 
     representatives from countries in the Western Hemisphere who 
     seek to do business with or invest in other Western 
     Hemisphere countries.

     complementary North/South Center at the University of Miami 
     at Coral Gables.
       ``(e) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--
       ``(1) Western hemisphere countries.--The terms `Western 
     Hemisphere countries', `countries in the Western Hemisphere', 
     and `Western Hemisphere' mean Canada, the United States, 
     Mexico, countries located in South America, beneficiary

     may provide that the Center may charge a reasonable fee for 
     attendance at seminars and conferences and for copies of 
     publications, studies, reports, and other documents the 
     Center publishes. The Center may waive such fees in any case 
     in which it determines imposing a fee would impose a 
     financial hardship and the purposes of the Center would be 
     served by granting such a waiver.
       ``(g) Duration of Grant.--The Commissioner of Customs is 
     directed to make grants to any institution or institutions 
     selected as the Center for fiscal years 1994, 1995, 1996, and

       (a) Amendment.--Section 499 (19 U.S.C. 1499) is amended to 
     read as follows:

     ``SEC. 499. EXAMINATION OF MERCHANDISE.

       ``(a) Entry Examination.--
       ``(1) In general.--Imported merchandise that is required by 
     law or regulation to be inspected, examined, or appraised 
     shall not be delivered from customs custody (except under 
     such bond or other security as may be prescribed by the 
     Secretary to assure compliance with all applicable laws, 
     regulations, and instructions which the Secretary or the 
     Customs Service is authorized to enforce) until the 
     merchandise has been inspected, appraised, or examined and is 
     reported by the Customs Service to have been truly and 
     correctly invoiced and found to comply with the requirements 
     of the laws of the United States.
       ``(2) Examination.--The Customs Service--
       ``(A) shall designate the packages or quantities of 
     merchandise covered by any invoice or entry which are to be 
     opened and examined for the purpose of appraisement or 
     otherwise;
       ``(B) shall order such packages or quantities to be sent to 
     such place as is designated by the Secretary by regulation 
     for such purpose;
       ``(C) may require such additional packages or quantities as 
     the Secretary considers necessary for such purpose; and
       ``(D) shall inspect a sufficient number of shipments, and 
     shall examine a sufficient number of entries, to ensure 
     compliance with the laws enforced by the Customs Service.
       ``(3) Unspecified articles.--If any package contains any 
     article not specified in the invoice or entry and, in the 
     opinion of the Customs Service, the article was omitted from 
     the invoice or entry--
       ``(A) with fraudulent intent on the part of the seller, 
     shipper, owner, agent, importer of record, or entry filer, 
     the contents of the entire package in which such article is 
     found shall be subject to seizure; or
       ``(B) without fraudulent intent, the value of the article 
     shall be added to the entry and the duties, fees, and taxes 
     thereon paid accordingly.
       ``(4) Deficiency.--If a deficiency is found in quantity, 
     weight, or measure in the examination of any package, the 
     person finding the deficiency shall make a report thereof to 
     the Customs Service. The Customs Service shall make allowance 
     for the deficiency in the liquidation of duties.
       ``(5) Information required for release.--If an examination 
     is conducted, any information required for release shall be 
     provided, either electronically or in paper form, to the 
     Customs Service at the port of examination. The absence of 
     such information does not limit the authority of the Customs 
     Service to conduct an examination.
       ``(b) Testing Laboratories.--
       ``(1) Accreditation of private testing laboratories.--The 
     Customs Service shall establish and implement a procedure, 
     under regulations promulgated by the Secretary, for 
     accrediting private laboratories within the United States 
     which may be used to perform tests (that would otherwise be 
     performed by Customs Service laboratories) to establish the 
     characteristics, quantities, or composition of imported 
     merchandise. Such regulations--
       ``(A) shall establish the conditions required for the 
     laboratories to receive and maintain accreditation for 
     purposes of this subsection;
       ``(B) shall establish the conditions regarding the 
     suspension and revocation of accreditation, which may include 
     the imposition of a monetary penalty not to exceed $100,000 
     and such penalty is in addition to the recovery, from a 
     gauger or laboratory accredited under paragraph (1), of any 
     loss of revenue that may have occurred, but the Customs 
     Service--
       ``(i) may seek to recover lost revenue only in cases where 
     the gauger or laboratory intentionally falsified the analysis 
     or gauging report in collusion with the importer; and
       ``(ii) shall neither assess penalties nor seek to recover 
     lost revenue because of a good faith difference of 
     professional opinion; and
       ``(C) may provide for the imposition of a reasonable charge 
     for accreditation and periodic reaccreditation.

     The collection of any charge for accreditation and 
     reaccreditation under this section is not prohibited by 
     section 13031(e)(6) of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget 
     Reconciliation Act of 1985 (19 U.S.C. 58c(e)(6)).
       ``(2) Appeal of adverse accreditation decisions.--A 
     laboratory applying for accreditation, or that is accredited, 
     under this section may contest any decision or order of the 
     Customs Service denying, suspending, or revoking 
     accreditation, or imposing a monetary penalty, by commencing 
     an action in accordance with chapter 169 of title 28, United 
     States Code, in the Court of International Trade within 60 
     days after issuance of the decision or order.
       ``(3) Testing by accredited laboratories.--When requested 
     by an importer of record of merchandise, the Customs Service 
     shall authorize the release to the importer of a 
     representative sample of the merchandise for testing, at the 
     expense of the importer, by a laboratory accredited under 
     paragraph (1). The testing results from a laboratory 
     accredited under paragraph (1) that are submitted by an 
     importer of record with respect to merchandise in an entry 
     shall, in the absence of testing results obtained from a 
     Customs Service laboratory, be accepted by the Customs 
     Service if the importer of record certifies that the sample 
     tested was taken from the merchandise in the entry. Nothing 
     in this subsection shall be construed to limit in any way or 
     preclude the authority of the Customs Service to test or 
     analyze any sample or merchandise independently.
       ``(4) Availability of testing procedure, methodologies, and 
     information.--Testing procedures and methodologies used by 
     the Customs Service, and information resulting from any 
     testing conducted by the Customs Service, shall be made 
     available as follows:
       ``(A) Testing procedures and methodologies shall be made 
     available upon request to any person unless the procedures or 
     methodologies are--
       ``(i) proprietary to the holder of a copyright or patent 
     related to such procedures or methodologies, or
       ``(ii) developed by the Customs Service for enforcement 
     purposes.
       ``(B) Information resulting from testing shall be made 
     available upon request to the importer of record and any 
     agent thereof unless the information--
       ``(i) is proprietary to the holder of a copyright or patent 
     related to the procedures or methodologies; or
       ``(ii) reveals information developed by the Customs Service 
     for enforcement purposes.
       ``(5) Miscellaneous provisions.--For purposes of this 
     subsection--
       ``(A) any reference to a private laboratory includes a 
     reference to a private gauger; and
       ``(B) accreditation of private laboratories extends only to 
     the performance of functions by such laboratories that are 
     within the scope of those responsibilities for determinations 
     of the elements relating to admissibility, quantity, 
     composition, or characteristics of imported merchandise that 
     are vested in, or delegated to, the Customs Service.
       ``(c) Detentions.--Except in the case of merchandise with 
     respect to which the determination of admissibility is vested 
     in an agency other than the Customs Service, the following 
     apply:
       ``(1) In general.--Within the 5-day period (excluding 
     weekends and holidays) following the date on which 
     merchandise is presented for customs examination, the Customs 
     Service shall decide whether to release or detain the 
     merchandise. Merchandise which is not released within such 5-
     day period shall be considered to be detained merchandise.
       ``(2) Notice of detention.--The Customs Service shall issue 
     a notice to the importer or other party having an interest in 
     detained merchandise no later than 5 days, excluding weekends 
     and holidays, after the decision to detain the merchandise is 
     made. The notice shall advise the importer or other 
     interested party of--
       ``(A) the initiation of the detention;
       ``(B) the specific reason for the detention;
       ``(C) the anticipated length of the detention;
       ``(D) the nature of the tests or inquiries to be conducted; 
     and
       ``(E) the nature of any information which, if supplied to 
     the Customs Service, may accelerate the disposition of the 
     detention.
       ``(3) Testing results.--Upon request by the importer or 
     other party having an interest in detained merchandise, the 
     Customs Service shall provide the party with copies of the 
     results of any testing conducted by the Customs Service on 
     the merchandise and a description of the testing procedures 
     and methodologies (unless such procedures or methodologies 
     are proprietary to the holder of a copyright or patent or 
     were developed by the Customs Service for enforcement 
     purposes). The results and test description shall be in 
     sufficient detail to permit the duplication and analysis of 
     the testing and the results.
       ``(4) Seizure and forfeiture.--If otherwise provided by 
     law, detained merchandise may be seized and forfeited.
       ``(5) Effect of failure to make determination.--
       ``(A) The failure by the Customs Service to make a final 
     determination with respect to the admissibility of detained 
     merchandise within 30 days after the merchandise has been 
     presented for customs examination, or such longer period if 
     specifically authorized by law, shall be treated as a 
     decision of the Customs Service to exclude the merchandise 
     for purposes of section 514(a)(4).
       ``(B) For purposes of section 1581 of title 28, United 
     States Code, a protest against the decision to exclude the 
     merchandise which has not been allowed or denied in whole or 
     in part before the 30th day after the day on which the 
     protest was filed shall be treated as having been denied on 
     such 30th day.
       ``(C) Notwithstanding section 2639 of title 28, United 
     States Code, once an action re- 

[[Page 3004]]

     specting a detention is commenced, unless the Customs Service 
     establishes by a preponderance of the evidence that an 
     admissibility decision has not been reached for good cause, 
     the court shall grant the appropriate relief which may 
     include, but is not limited to, an order to cancel the 
     detention and release the merchandise.''.
       (b) Existing Laboratories.--Accreditation under section 
     499(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (as added by subsection (a)) 
     is not required for any private laboratory (including any 
     gauger) that was accredited or approved by the Customs 
     Service as of the day before the date of the enactment of 
     this Act; but any such laboratory is subject to 
     reaccreditation under the provisions of such section and the 
     regulations promulgated thereunder.

     explain the results of the audit, the person being audited 
     may petition in writing for such a conference to the 
     appropriate regional commissioner, who, upon receipt of such

     procedures and requirements of the program;

     does not produce a demanded record or information for a 
     specific release or provide the information by acceptable 
     alternative means, the Customs Service, in the absence of 
     willfulness or repeated violations, shall issue a written 
     notice of the violation to the recordkeeper in lieu of a 
     monetary penalty. Repeated violations by the recordkeeper may 
     result in the issuance of penalties and removal of 
     certification under the program until corrective action, 
     satisfactory to the Customs Service, is taken.
       ``(B) Contents of notice.--A notice of violation issued 
     under subparagraph (A) shall--

     regulations to implement this paragraph. Such regulations may 
     specify the time periods for compliance with a demand for

     degree of compliance compared to the total number of 
     importations, the nature of the demanded records and the 
     recordkeeper's cooperation.''.

     for further review was erroneously or improperly denied or 
     was denied without authority for such action, it may file 
     with the Commissioner of Customs a written request that the 
     denial of the application for further review be set aside. 
     Such request must be filed within 90 days after the date of 
     the notice of the denial. The Commissioner of Customs may 
     review such request and, based solely on the information 
     before the Customs Service at the time the application for 
     further review was denied, may set aside the denial of the 
     application for further review and void the denial of 
     protest, if appropriate. If the Commissioner of Customs fails 
     to act within 30 days after the date of the request, the 
     request shall be considered denied. All denials of protests 
     are effective from the date of original denial for purposes 
     of section 2636 of title 28, United States Code. If an action 
     is commenced in the Court of International Trade that arises 
     out of a protest or an application for further review, all 
     administrative action pertaining to such protest or 
     application shall terminate and any administrative action 
     taken subsequent to the commencement of the action is null 
     and void.
       ``(d) If a protest is timely and properly filed, but is 
     denied contrary to proper instructions, the Customs Service 
     may on its own initiative, or pursuant to a written request 
     by the protesting party filed with the appropriate district 
     director within 90 days after the date of the protest denial, 
     void the denial of the protest.''.

[[Page 3006]]

     ``SEC. 593A. PENALTIES FOR FALSE DRAWBACK CLAIMS.

       ``(a) Prohibition.--
       ``(1) General rule.--No person, by fraud, or negligence--
       ``(A) may seek, induce or affect, or attempt to seek, 
     induce, or affect, the payment or credit to that person or 
     others of any drawback claim by means of--
       ``(i) any document, written or oral statement, or 
     electronically transmitted data or information, or act which 
     is material and false, or
       ``(ii) any omission which is material; or
       ``(B) may aid or abet any other person to violate 
     subparagraph (A).
       ``(2) Exception.--Clerical errors or mistakes of fact are 
     not violations of paragraph (1) unless they are part of a 
     pattern of negligent conduct. The mere nonintentional 
     repetition by an electronic system of an initial clerical 
     error does not constitute a pattern of negligent conduct.
       ``(b) Procedures.--
       ``(1) Prepenalty notice.--
       ``(A) In general.--If the Customs Service has reasonable 
     cause to believe that there has been a violation of 
     subsection (a) and determines that further proceedings are 
     warranted, the Customs Service shall issue to the person 
     concerned a written notice of intent to issue a claim for a 
     monetary penalty. Such notice shall--
       ``(i) identify the drawback claim;
       ``(ii) set forth the details relating to the seeking, 
     inducing, or affecting, or the attempted seeking, inducing, 
     or affecting, or the aiding or procuring of, the drawback 
     claim;
       ``(iii) specify all laws and regulations allegedly 
     violated;
       ``(iv) disclose all the material facts which establish the 
     alleged violation;
       ``(v) state whether the alleged violation occurred as a 
     result of fraud or negligence;
       ``(vi) state the estimated actual or potential loss of 
     revenue due to the drawback claim, and, taking into account 
     all circumstances, the amount of the proposed monetary 
     penalty; and
       ``(vii) inform such person that he shall have a reasonable 
     opportunity to make representations, both oral and written, 
     as to why a claim for a monetary penalty should not be issued 
     in the amount stated.
       ``(B) Exceptions.--The Customs Service may not issue a 
     prepenalty notice if the amount of the penalty in the penalty 
     claim issued under paragraph (2) is $1,000 or less. In such 
     cases, the Customs Service may proceed directly with a 
     penalty claim.
       ``(C) Prior approval.--No prepenalty notice in which the 
     alleged violation occurred as a result of fraud shall be 
     issued without the prior approval of Customs Headquarters.
       ``(2) Penalty claim.--After considering representations, if 
     any, made by the person concerned pursuant to the notice 
     issued under paragraph (1), the Customs Service shall 
     determine whether any violation of subsection (a), as alleged 
     in the notice, has occurred. If the Customs Service 
     determines that there was no violation, the Customs Service 
     shall promptly issue a written statement of the determination 
     to the person to whom the notice was sent. If the Customs 
     Service determines that there was a violation, Customs shall 
     issue a written penalty claim to such person. The written 
     penalty claim shall specify all changes in the information 
     provided under clauses (i) through (vii) of paragraph (1)(A). 
     Such person shall have a reasonable opportunity under section 
     618 to make representations, both oral and written, seeking 
     remission or mitigation of the monetary penalty. At the 
     conclusion of any proceeding under section 618, the Customs 
     Service shall provide to the person concerned a written 
     statement which sets forth the final determination, and the 
     findings of fact and conclusions of law on which such 
     determination is based.
       ``(c) Maximum Penalties.--
       ``(1) Fraud.--A fraudulent violation of subsection (a) of 
     this section is punishable by a civil penalty in an amount 
     not to exceed 3 times the actual or potential loss of 
     revenue.
       ``(2) Negligence.--
       ``(A) In general.--A negligent violation of subsection (a) 
     is punishable by a civil penalty in an amount not to exceed 
     20 percent of the actual or potential loss of revenue for the 
     1st violation.
       ``(B) Repetitive violations.--If the Customs Service 
     determines that a repeat negligent violation occurs relating 
     to the same issue, the penalty amount for the 2d violation 
     shall be in an amount not to exceed 50 percent of the total 
     actual or potential loss of revenue. The penalty amount for 
     each succeeding repetitive negligent violation shall be in an 
     amount not to exceed the actual or potential loss of revenue. 
     If the same party commits a nonrepetitive violation, that 
     violation shall be subject to a penalty not to exceed 20 
     percent of the actual or potential loss of revenue.
       ``(3) Prior disclosure.--
       ``(A) In general.--Subject to subparagraph (B), if the 
     person concerned discloses the circumstances of a violation 
     of subsection (a) before, or without knowledge of the 
     commencement of, a formal investigation of such violation, 
     the monetary penalty assessed under this subsection may not 
     exceed--
       ``(i) if the violation resulted from fraud, an amount equal 
     to the actual or potential revenue of which the United States 
     is or may be deprived as a result of overpayment of the 
     claim; or
       ``(ii) if the violation resulted from negligence, an amount 
     equal to the interest computed on the basis of the prevailing 
     rate of interest applied under section 6621 of the Internal 
     Revenue Code of 1986 on the amount of actual revenue of which 
     the United States is or may be deprived during the period 
     that--

       ``(I) begins on the date of the overpayment of the claim; 
     and
       ``(II) ends on the date on which the person concerned 
     tenders the amount of the overpayment.

       ``(B) Condition affecting penalty limitations.--The 
     limitations in subparagraph (A) on the amount of the monetary 
     penalty to be assessed under subsection (c) apply only if the 
     person concerned tenders the amount of the overpayment made 
     on the claim at the time of disclosure, or within 30 days (or 
     such longer period as the Customs Service may provide), after 
     notice by the Customs Service of its calculation of the 
     amount of the overpayment.
       ``(C) Burden of proof.--The person asserting lack of 
     knowledge of the commencement of a formal investigation has 
     the burden of proof in establishing such lack of knowledge.
       ``(4) Commencement of investigation.--For purposes of this 
     section, a formal investigation of a violation is considered 
     to be commenced with regard to the disclosing party and the 
     disclosed information on the date recorded in writing by the 
     Customs Service as the date on which facts and circumstances 
     were discovered or information was received which caused the 
     Customs Service to believe that a possibility of a violation 
     of subsection (a) existed.
       ``(5) Exclusivity.--Penalty claims under this section shall 
     be the exclusive civil remedy for any drawback related 
     violation of subsection (a).
       ``(d) Deprivation of Lawful Revenue.--Notwithstanding 
     section 514, if the United States has been deprived of lawful 
     duties and taxes resulting from a violation of subsection 
     (a), the Customs Service shall require that such drawback 
     claim be restored whether or not a monetary penalty is 
     assessed.
       ``(e) Drawback Compliance Program.--
       ``(1) In general.--After consultation with the drawback 
     trade community, the Customs Service shall establish a 
     drawback compliance program in which claimants and other 
     parties in interest may participate after being certified by 
     the Customs Service under paragraph (2). Participation in the 
     drawback compliance program is voluntary.
       ``(2) Certification.--A party may be certified as a 
     participant in the drawback compliance program after meeting 
     the general requirements established under the program or 
     after negotiating an alternative program suited to the needs 
     of the party and the Customs Service. Certification 
     requirements shall take into account the size and nature of 
     the party's drawback program and the volume of claims. In 
     order to be certified, the participant must be able to 
     demonstrate that it--
       ``(A) understands the legal requirements for filing claims, 
     including the nature of the records required to be maintained 
     and produced and the time periods involved;
       ``(B) has in place procedures to explain the Customs 
     Service requirements to those employees that are involved in 
     the preparation of claims, and the maintenance and production 
     of required records;

     claims and maintenance of required records, and the 
     production of such records to the Customs Service;

     to be responsible for compliance under the program and whose 
     duties include maintaining familiarity with the drawback 
     requirements of the Customs Service;

     formats other than the original records; and
       ``(F) has procedures for notifying the Customs Service of 
     variances to, and violations of, the requirements of the 
     drawback compliance program or any negotiated alternative 
     programs, and for taking corrective action when notified by 
     the Customs Service for violations or problems regarding such 
     program.
       ``(f) Alternatives to Penalties.--
       ``(1) In general.--When a party that--
       ``(A) has been certified as a participant in the drawback 
     compliance program under subsection (e); and
       ``(B) is generally in compliance with the appropriate 
     procedures and requirements of the program;

     shall, in the absence of fraud or repeated violations, and in 
     lieu of a monetary penalty, issue a written notice of the 
     violation to the party. Repeated violations by a party may 
     result in the issuance of penalties and removal of 
     certification under the program until corrective action, 
     satisfactory to the Customs Service, is taken.

     under paragraph (1) shall--

     verification necessary for the appraisement of such 
     merchandise.

     Any entry or other information transmitted by means of an 
     authorized electronic data interchange system shall be

     of duties, fees, or interest shall accrue, at a rate 
     determined by the Secretary, from the date the importer of 
     record is required to deposit estimated duties, fees, and 
     interest to the date of liquidation or reliquidation of the 
     applicable entry or reconciliation. Interest on excess moneys 
     deposited shall accrue, at a rate determined by the 
     Secretary, from the date the importer of record deposits 
     estimated duties, fees, and interest to the date of 
     liquidation or reliquidation of the applicable entry or 
     reconciliation.
       ``(d) Delinquency.--If duties, fees, and interest 
     determined to be due or refunded are not paid in full within 
     the 30-day period specified in subsection (b), any unpaid 
     balance shall be considered delinquent and bear interest by 
     30-day periods, at a rate determined by the Secretary, from

     patient to a hospital for such services.''.
       (2) Limitation on average length of stay.--Section 1820(f) 
     (42 U.S.C. 1395i4(f)) is amended by adding at the end 
     the following new paragraph:
       ``(4) Limitation on average length of inpatient stays.--The

     facility with the requirement of the previous sentence, there 
     shall not be taken into account periods of stay of inpatients 
     in excess of 72 hours to the extent such periods exceed 72

     inpatient care only to those individuals whose attending 
     physicians certify may reasonably be expected to be 
     discharged within 72 hours after admission and maintain an 
     average length of inpatient stay during a year that does not 
     exceed 72 hours; and
       (B) the extent to which such requirements have resulted in 
     such hospitals providing inpatient care beyond their 
     capabilities or have limited the ability of such hospitals to 
     provide needed services.

     area and'' after ``that is'', and

     and'' after ``in the case of a hospital''.

     actual charge for a service in violation of clause (i), the 
     physician, supplier, or other person shall reduce on a timely

     the changes made by this section, the State regulatory 
     program shall not be considered to be out of compliance with 
     the requirements of section 1882 of the Social Security Act

     specified in paragraph (4).
       (2) NAIC Standards.--If, within 6 months after the date of

     this section and to delete from section 15C the exception

     makes the modifications under paragraph (2) or (3), 
     respectively.
       (B) Additional legislative action required.--In the case of 
     a State which the Secretary identifies as--
       (i) requiring State legislation (other than legislation

     changes made in this section, but
       (ii) having a legislature which is not scheduled to meet in

     economic problems arising in part from a lack of economic 
     growth in community based economies;
       (2) the crisis facing local economies has resulted in--
       (A) a growing percentage of the workforce earning poverty 
     level wages, even though they work full time and year round;
       (B) the percentage of the labor force living below the 
     poverty line increasing from 25.7 percent in 1979 to 31.5 
     percent in 1987;
       (C) population losses, rising unemployment and a decline of 
     the farm sector and of many other rural industries (such as 
     timber, oil, gas, and mining) contribute to the decline of 
     rural economies;
       (D) with respect to rural areas, 31.9 percent of the 
     workforce falling below the poverty line in 1979, with that 
     percentage rising to 42.1 percent in 1987;
       (E) with respect to urban areas, 23.4 percent of the 
     workforce falling below the poverty line in 1979, with that 
     percentage rising to 28.9 percent in 1987; and
       (F) the average wage and salary income of the 90 percent of 
     the population with the lowest incomes, between 1977 and 
     1988, falling 3.5 percent in contrast to the richest 1 
     percent of the population whose incomes more than doubled in 
     that time period.
       (3) the future well being of the United States and the 
     well-being of its citizens depends on the establishment and 
     maintenance of viable community development enterprises;
       (4) meeting the goal of establishing and maintaining viable 
     community development enterprises requires--
       (A) increased public and private investment in business 
     development activities, especially in the small business 
     sector which generates the majority of new jobs as evidenced 
     by the fact that between 1980 and 1986, enterprises with less 
     than 100 employees accounted for more than 50 percent of the 
     jobs created in the U.S.;
       (B) increased investment and technical assistance to 
     existing community based enterprises as evidenced by the fact 
     that during the first half of the 1980's, more than 75 
     percent of the total net new jobs in the United States came 
     from the expansion of existing businesses;
       (C) a substantial expansion and greater continuity in the 
     scope of Federal programs that support community based 
     economic development strategies;
       (D) the continuing efforts at Federal, State and local 
     levels to coordinate the planning, implementation and 
     evaluation of community economic development efforts; and
       (E) the formation of a national commission, as an 
     independent agency, to administer the various community 
     development programs and serve as a focal point for Federal 
     efforts to promote community based economic development; and
       (5) community development corporations, due to their proven 
     capacity and achievements in both the field of community 
     based housing and economic development, are appropriate 
     vehicles through which to advance a national community 
     economic development program because--
       (A) there are currently over 2000 community development 
     corporations throughout the United States, operating projects 
     that promote community based housing and economic 
     development;
       (B) community development corporations operate in every 
     State and in virtually every major city in the United States, 
     and account for many of the existing efforts undertaken to 
     meet the needs of low income persons in both urban and rural 
     communities;
       (C) community development corporations have developed some 
     225,000 units of housing, with over 90 percent of these units 
     for use by low income occupants;
       (D) community development corporations have developed over 
     17,400,000 square feet of retail space, offices, industrial 
     parks and other industrial developments in economically 
     distressed communities;
       (E) community development corporations have made loans to 
     over 3000 enterprises, equity investments in 242 ventures and 
     own and operate 427 businesses; and
       (F) community development corporations commercial, 
     industrial and business enterprise development activities 
     have accounted for the creation and retention of nearly 
     90,000 jobs in the last five years.
       (c) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this chapter to 
     stimulate enterprise development in economically distressed 
     urban and rural areas through public and private partnerships 
     facilitated by community development corporations.

     ``Enterprise Capital Access Fund Demonstration Program''.
       (b) Findings and Purpose.--
       (1) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (A) the Nation's urban and rural communities face critical 
     social and economic problems stemming from lack of economic 
     opportunity among low-income persons and persons living in 
     poverty;
       (B) the numbers of low-income persons and persons living in 
     poverty has grown significantly over the last decade;
       (C) lack of access to credit and other forms of capital is 
     a significant factor in the disinvestment and decline of low-
     income and minority neighborhoods;
       (D) changes in the banking system and financial markets 
     have made access to credit in low-income and distressed 
     communities increasingly more difficult to obtain as 
     decisionmaking on credit has been removed from local 
     communities;
       (E) the restoration and maintenance of viable local 
     economies will require improved access to credit, as well as 
     public and private investment in economic and community 
     development activities, business development, and low-income 
     housing;
       (F) indigenous community-based financial institutions can 
     play a significant role in identifying and responding to 
     community needs;
       (G) the Federal Government needs to develop new models and 
     institutions for facilitating local revitalization efforts 
     and improving access to credit; and
       (H) nonprofit financial intermediaries have proven 
     effective in meeting the credit and other capital needs in 
     low-income and distressed communities.
       (2) Purpose.--The purpose of this section is to establish a 
     demonstration program to promote reinvestment in low-income

     coalitions and implementing comprehensive strategies, the 
     effects of such strategies on employment rates, job 
     retention, and earnings; and
       (4) the manner in which the adoption of such comprehensive 
     strategies affect employment and earnings in urban enterprise 
     zones, compared to other urban enterprise zones not 
     initiating programs to improve inner-city access to suburban 
     job locations.
       (f) Other Funding Sources.--Nothing in this section shall

       (2) whether reinsurance (including reinsurance against 
     crime, civil disorders, and related perils) is available at 
     affordable rates in central cities and other distressed urban 
     areas either through the private reinsurance market or 
     through a suitable program adopted under State law;

     the availability of such insurance or reinsurance;
       (4) whether any deficiencies in the availability of such 
     insurance or reinsurance act as a deterrent or barrier to the 
     economic development or redevelopment of central cities and 
     distressed urban areas;
       (5) whether the Federal Crime Insurance Program operated 
     pursuant to part C of title XII of the National Housing Act 
     (12 U.S.C. 1749bbb et seq.) adequately promotes the 
     availability of insurance in central cities and distressed 
     urban areas and whether the program should be modified to 
     more effectively advance that goal;
       (6) whether those State Fair Access to Insurance (FAIR) 
     Plans that were established pursuant to section 1211 of title 
     XII of the National Housing Act or other programs adopted by

     insurance in central cities and distressed urban areas;
       (7) whether reenactment of a Federal Riot Reinsurance 
     Program to promote the availability of insurance (including 
     insurance against crime, civil disorders, and related perils) 
     would effectively promote the availability of insurance in 
     central cities and distressed urban areas;
       (8) whether other action by the Federal Government would be 
     advisable to promote the availability of insurance (including 
     insurance against crime, civil disorders, and related perils) 
     in central cities and distressed urban areas in order to 
     enhance the prospects for the economic development or 
     redevelopment of such areas; and
       (9) such other issues related to the availability of 
     insurance in central cities and other distressed urban areas 
     and the relationship of the availability of such insurance to 
     the economic development or redevelopment of such areas as 
     the Comptroller General considers appropriate.
       (c) Definitions.--As used in this section,
       (1) The term ``affordable rates'' shall have the meaning 
     determined by the Comptroller General taking into 
     consideration factors such as the nature and degree of risks 
     involved, the protective devices employed, the extent of 
     anticipated losses, the prevailing rates for similar 
     coverages in adjacent or comparable areas, the economic 
     importance of the various individual coverages, the type of 
     property involved, and the relative abilities of the 
     particular classes and types of insureds to pay the costs of 
     coverages.
       (2) The term ``central city'' means any political 
     subdivision designated as a central city from time to time by 
     the Office of Management and Budget.
       (3) The term ``distressed urban area'' means an urban 
     enterprise zone designated pursuant to section 1391 of the 
     Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or any other urban area that 
     has a high level of poverty, unemployment, or minority 
     population share, as determined by the Comptroller General.
       (d) Referral.--The report required under subsection (a) 
     shall, upon transmission to Congress, be referred in the

          TITLE XII--HIGH SEAS DRIFTNET FISHERIES ENFORCEMENT

     SEC. 12001. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``High Seas Driftnet 
     Fisheries Enforcement Act''.

     SEC. 12002. FINDINGS AND POLICY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Large-scale driftnet fishing on the high seas is highly 
     destructive to the living marine resources and ocean 
     ecosystems of the world's oceans, including anadromous fish 
     and other living marine resources of the United States.
       (2) The cumulative effects of large-scale driftnet fishing 
     pose a significant threat to the marine ecosystem, and slow-
     reproducing species like marine mammals, sharks, and seabirds 
     may require many years to recover.
       (3) Members of the international community have reviewed 
     the best available scientific data on the impacts of large-
     scale pelagic driftnet fishing, and have failed to conclude 
     that this practice has no significant adverse impacts which 
     threaten the conservation and sustainable management of 
     living marine resources.
       (4) The United Nations, via General Assembly Resolutions 
     numbered 44-225, 45-197, and most recently 46-215 (adopted on 
     December

[[Page 3053]]

     20, 1991), has called for a worldwide moratorium on all high 
     seas driftnet fishing by December 31, 1992, in all the 
     world's oceans, including enclosed seas and semi-enclosed 
     seas.
       (5) The United Nations has commended the unilateral, 
     regional, and international efforts undertaken by members of 
     the international community and international organizations 
     to implement and support the objectives of the General 
     Assembly resolutions.
       (6) Operative paragraph (4) of United Nations General 
     Assembly Resolution numbered 46-215 specifically ``encourages 
     all members of the international community to take measures 
     individually and collectively to prevent large-scale pelagic 
     driftnet fishing operations on the high seas of the world's 
     oceans and seas''.
       (7) The United States, in section 307(1)(M) of the Magnuson 
     Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 
     1857(1)(M)), has specifically prohibited the practice of 
     large-scale driftnet fishing by United States nationals and 
     vessels both within the exclusive economic zone of the United 
     States and beyond the exclusive economic zone of any nation.
       (8) The Senate, through Senate Resolution 396 of the 100th 
     Congress (approved on March 18, 1988), has called for a 
     moratorium on fishing in the Central Bering Sea and the 
     United States has taken concrete steps to implement such 
     moratorium through international negotiations.
       (9) Despite the continued evidence of a decline in the 
     fishery resources of the Bering Sea and the multiyear 
     cooperative negotiations undertaken by the United States, the 
     Russian Federation, Japan, and other concerned fishing 
     nations, some nations refuse to agree to measures to reduce 
     or eliminate unregulated fishing practices in the waters of 
     the Bering Sea beyond the exclusive economic zones of the 
     United States and the Russian Federation.
       (10) In order to ensure that the global moratorium on 
     large-scale driftnet fishing called for in United Nations 
     General Assembly Resolution numbered 46-215 takes effect by 
     December 31, 1992, and that unregulated fishing practices in 
     the waters of the Central Bering Sea are reduced or 
     eliminated, the United States should take the actions 
     described in this Act and encourage other nations to take 
     similar action.
       (b) Policy.--It is the stated policy of the United States 
     to--
       (1) implement United Nations General Assembly Resolution 
     numbered 46-215, approved unanimously on December 20, 1991, 
     which calls for an immediate cessation to further expansion 
     of large-scale driftnet fishing, a 50 percent reduction in 
     existing large-scale driftnet fishing effort by June 30, 
     1992, and a global moratorium on the use of large-scale 
     driftnets beyond the exclusive economic zone of any nation by 
     December 31, 1992;
       (2) bring about a moratorium on fishing in the Central 
     Bering Sea, or an international conservation and management 
     agreement to which the United States and the Russian 
     Federation are parties that regulates fishing in the Central 
     Bering Sea; and
       (3) secure a permanent ban on the use of destructive 
     fishing practices, and in particular large-scale driftnets, 
     by persons or vessels fishing beyond the exclusive economic 
     zone of any nation.

     SEC. 101. DECLARATION OF POLICY.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) as the world's largest economy, the United States has 
     an enormous stake in the future of the global trading system;

[[Page 3058]]

       (2) exports are a crucial force driving the United States 
     economy;
       (3) during 1991, the value of United States exports 
     increased by 7.1 percent from the 1990 level to 
     $421,600,000,000, supporting more than 7,000,000 full-time 
     United States jobs, and affecting the lives of all of the 
     people of the United States;
       (4) exports also support the global strategic position of 
     the United States;
       (5) a significant part of a country's influence is drawn 
     from the reputation of its goods, its industrial connections 
     with other countries, and the capital it has available for 
     investment, and trade finance is a critical component of this 
     equation;
       (6) the growth in United States exports has increased the 
     demand for financing from the Export-Import Bank of the 
     United States;
       (7) during 1991, the value of exports assisted by the 
     Export-Import Bank rose 28.7 percent, from $9,700,000,000 to 
     $12,100,000,000, the highest level since 1981;
       (8) the Export-Import Bank used its entire budget authority 
     provided for 1991, and still could not meet all of the demand 
     for its financing assistance; and
       (9) accordingly, the charter of the Export-Import Bank, 
     which is scheduled to expire on September 30, 1992, must be 
     renewed in order that the Bank continue to arrange 
     competitive and innovative financing for the foreign sales of 
     United States exporters.

     SEC. 102. EXTENSION OF AUTHORITY.

       Section 8 of the Export-Import Bank Act of 1945 (12 U.S.C.

       (A) by striking ``For the purpose of this section--'' and 
     inserting ``For purposes of this section, the following 
     definitions shall apply:''; and
       (B) by adding at the end the following new paragraph:

     Act of 1990;''.

     institutions for any transaction in any export market in 
     which the Bank is open for business.''.

       ``(a) Environmental Effects Consideration.--

     take into account the potential beneficial and adverse 
     environmental effects of goods and services for which support

     Such procedures shall apply to any transaction involving a 
     project--

                   STATES, THE INDEPENDENT STATES OF THE FORMER 
                   SOVIET UNION, AND CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) United States export participation in the emerging 
     markets in the independent

[[Page 3061]]

     States of the former Soviet Union, Central and Eastern 
     Europe, and the Baltic States holds definite potential for 
     preserving and creating jobs in the United States and 
     strengthening the competitiveness of United States exports; 
       (2) export assistance for United States goods destined for 
     emerging republics is an investment in the development and 
     establishment of their market economies, a critical element 
     in maintaining existing United States businesses which export 
     to the regions in which such republics are located, and a 
     significant factor in the economic future of the United 
     States and such republics;
       (3) the Export-Import Bank of the United States (in this 
     section referred to as the ``Bank'') has a unique opportunity 
     to play a leading role in assisting United States exporters 
     to participate in the rapidly changing and highly competitive 
     markets in the independent States of the former Soviet Union, 
     Central and Eastern Europe, and the Baltic States; and
       (4) it is in the interest of the United States for the Bank 
     to--
       (A) monitor carefully the export assistance programs and 
     terms offered by foreign governments for competitive exports; 
     and
       (B) make every effort to offer United States business 
     export assistance for transactions in the independent States 
     of the former Soviet Union, Central and Eastern Europe, and 
     the Baltic States, that is comparable to the assistance being 
     provided by other governments.
       (b) Report.--Not later than 1 year after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Bank shall transmit to the 
     Congress a report analyzing the present and future demand for 
     loans, guarantees, and insurance for trade between the United 
     States and the Baltic States, between the United States and 
     the independent States of the former Soviet Union, and 
     between the United States and Central and Eastern Europe, and 
     shall make recommendations regarding the adequacy of 
     financing for trade between the United States and such 
     countries. As used in this section, the term ``independent 
     States of the former Soviet Union'' includes all successor 
     states (other than the Baltic States) to the Soviet Union.

                     PART A--DECLARATION OF POLICY

     SEC. 101. DECLARATION OF POLICY.

       Section 2 of the Defense Production Act of 1950 (50 U.S.C. 
     App. 2062) is amended to read as follows:

     ``SEC. 2. DECLARATION OF POLICY.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) the vitality of the industrial and technology base of 
     the United States is a foundation of national security that 
     provides the industrial and technological capabilities 
     employed to meet national defense requirements, in peacetime 
     and in time of national emergency;
       ``(2) in peacetime, the health of the industrial and 
     technological base contributes to the technological 
     superiority of United States defense equipment, which is a 
     cornerstone of the national security strategy, and the 
     efficiency with which defense equipment is developed and 
     produced;
       ``(3) in times of crisis, a healthy industrial base will be 
     able to effectively provide the graduated response needed to 
     effectively meet the demands of the emergency;
       ``(4) in view of continuing international problems, the 
     Nation's demonstrated reliance on imports of materials and 
     components, and the need for measures to reduce defense 
     production lead times and bottlenecks, and in order to 
     provide for the national defense and national security, the 
     United States defense mobilization preparedness effort 
     continues to require the development of--
       ``(A) preparedness programs;
       ``(B) domestic defense industrial base improvement 
     measures;
       ``(C) provisions for a graduated response to any 
     threatening international or military situation;
       ``(D) the expansion of domestic productive capacity beyond 
     the levels needed to meet the civilian demand; and
       ``(E) some diversion of certain materials and facilities 
     from civilian use to military and related purposes.
       ``(5) to meet the requirements referred to in this 
     subsection, this Act affords to the President an array of 
     authorities to shape defense preparedness programs and to 
     take appropriate steps to maintain and enhance the defense 
     industrial and technological base;
       ``(6) the activities referred to in this subsection are 
     needed in order to--
       ``(A) improve domestic defense industrial base efficiency 
     and responsiveness;
       ``(B) reduce the time required for industrial mobilization 
     in the event of an attack on the United States; or
       ``(C) to respond to actions occurring outside of the United 
     States which could result in the termination or reduction of 
     the availability of strategic and critical materials, 
     including energy, and which could adversely affect the 
     national defense preparedness of the United States;

[[Page 3065]]

       ``(7) in order to ensure national defense preparedness, 
     which is essential to national security, it is necessary and 
     appropriate to assure the availability of domestic energy 
     supplies for national defense needs;
       ``(8) to further assure the adequate maintenance of the 
     defense industrial base, to the maximum extent possible, such 
     supplies should be augmented through reliance on renewable 
     fuels, including solar, geothermal, and wind energy and 
     ethanol and its derivatives, and on energy conservation 
     measures;
       ``(9) the domestic defense industrial base is a component 
     part of the core industrial capacity of the Nation;
       ``(10) much of the industrial capacity which is relied upon 
     by the Federal Government for military production and other 
     defense-related purposes is deeply and directly influenced 
     by--
       ``(A) the overall competitiveness of the United States 
     industrial economy; and
       ``(B) the ability of United States industry, in general, to 
     produce internationally competitive products and operate 
     profitably while maintaining adequate research and 
     development to preserve that competitive edge in the future, 
     with respect to military and civilian production;
       ``(11) the domestic defense industrial base is developing a 
     growing dependency on foreign sources for critical components 
     and materials used in manufacturing and assembling major 
     weapons systems for the national defense;
       ``(12) such dependence is threatening the capability of 
     many critical industries to respond rapidly to defense 
     production needs in the event of war or other hostilities or 
     diplomatic confrontation; and
       ``(13) the inability of United States industry, especially 
     smaller subcontractors and suppliers, to provide vital parts 
     and components and other materials would impair our ability 
     to sustain United States Armed Forces in combat for longer 
     than a short period.
       ``(b) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United 
     States that--
       ``(1) in order to ensure productive capacity in the event 
     of an attack on the United States, the United States should 
     encourage the geographic dispersal of industrial facilities 
     in the United States to discourage the concentration of such 
     productive facilities within limited geographic areas which 
     are vulnerable to attack by an enemy of the United States;
       ``(2) to ensure that essential mobilization requirements 
     are met, consideration should also be given to stockpiling 
     strategic materials to the extent that such stockpiling is 
     economical and feasible;
       ``(3) in the construction of any Government-owned 
     industrial facility, in the rendition of any Government 
     financial assistance for the construction, expansion, or 
     improvement of any industrial facility, and in the production 
     of goods and services, under this or any other Act, each 
     department and agency of the executive branch should apply, 
     under the coordination of the Federal Emergency Management 
     Agency, when practicable and consistent with existing law and 
     the desirability for maintaining a sound economy, the 
     principle of the geographic dispersal of such facilities in 
     the interest of national defense, except that nothing in this 
     paragraph shall preclude the use of existing industrial 
     facilities;
       ``(4) to ensure the adequacy of productive capacity and 
     supply, executive agencies and departments responsible for 
     defense acquisition should continuously assess the capability 
     of the domestic defense industrial base to satisfy peacetime 
     requirements as well as increased mobilization production 
     requirements, specifically evaluating the availability of 
     adequate production sources, including subcontractors and 
     suppliers, materials, skilled labor, and professional and 
     technical personnel;
       ``(5) every effort should be made to foster cooperation 
     between the defense and commercial sectors for research and 
     development and for acquisition of materials, components, and 
     equipment; and
       ``(6) plans and programs to carry out this section shall be 
     undertaken with due consideration for promoting efficiency 
     and competition.''.

     distorting, and mindful of the need to minimize the adverse 
     effects of offsets in military exports while ensuring that 
     the ability of United States firms to compete for military 
     export sales is not undermined, it is the policy of the 
     Congress that--

     encourage, enter directly into, or commit United States firms 
     to any offset arrangement in connection with the sale of 
     defense goods or services to foreign governments;

     finance offsets in security assistance transactions, except 
     in accordance with policies and procedures that were in 
     existence on March 1, 1992;

     United States Government from fulfilling obligations incurred 
     through international agreements entered into before March 1, 
     1992; and

     responsibility for negotiating and implementing offset 
     arrangements, reside with the companies involved.

     of the Congress that the President may approve an exception 
     to the policy stated in subsection (a) after re-

     the President shall designate the Secretary of Defense to 
     lead, in coordination with the Secretary of State, an 
     interagency team to consult with foreign nations on limiting 
     the adverse effects of offsets in defense procurement. The 
     President shall transmit an annual report on the results of 
     these consultations to the Congress as part of the report 
     required under section 309(a) of the Defense Production Act 
     of 1950.

     calculating the Medicaid rebate, and with a minimum of 
     administrative costs and burdens.

     purposes of this section.

       ``(1) In general.--The discount price described in section 
     2144 shall not exceed an amount equal to the average

     the date of enactment of this section, the Secretary shall

     entities that are eligible to receive the discounts provided 
     for under this section.

     developed under paragraph (1) shall include a requirement 
     that an entity applying for certification under such 
     paragraph submit information to the Secretary concerning the

     preceding year so as to assist the Secretary and drug 
     manufacturers in evaluating the validity of the entity's 
     subsequent purchases of drugs and biologicals at discounted 
     prices.
       ``(3) Criteria.--The Secretary shall submit to all drug and 
     biological manufacturers a description of the criteria for 
     eligibility for discounts under this section and the

     purchase and dispense drugs and biologicals and are provided 
     with assistance under part B of title XIX.

     recertification of eligible entities on a not more frequent 
     than annual basis, and shall require that such entities 
     submit information to the Secretary to permit the Secretary 
     to evaluate the validity of subsequent purchases by such 
     entities in the same manner as that required under paragraph 
     (2).
       ``(d) Bid Process.--Not later than 90 days after the date 
     of enactment of this section, the Secretary, in consultation 
     with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, shall develop and 
     implement a bid process to establish a prime vendor program 
     under which covered entities compensate wholesalers for 
     distribution and related services to facilitate drug 
     purchases to which discounts will apply under this section. 
     In order to receive discounts under this section, 
     distribution with respect to drug purchases must be made 
     through wholesalers. If a manufacturer distributes drugs or 
     biologicals to which this section applies directly to a 
     covered entity, such manufacturer shall be responsible for 
     the distribution costs incurred.
       ``(e) Relation to Rebates.--The Secretary shall establish a 
     mechanism to ensure that a manufacturer is not required to 
     pay both a discount under this section and a rebate under 
     title XIX of the Social Security Act with respect to a 
     covered outpatient drug (as defined in section 1927(k)(2) of 
     the Social Security Act (as such section existed on the date 
     of the enactment of this Act)) dispensed to an individual 
     entitled to benefits under a State plan approved under such 
     title XIX.

     enactment of this section,

     program under this section, including the savings achieved 
     and the administrative costs associated with such program;

     such program, including the desirability of excluding from 
     the coverage of an agreement under this section any product 
     of a manufacturer that the Secretary determines is purchased 
     in such small quantities by covered entities so as to make 
     the savings achieved in applying this section to such 
     purchases insignificant when compared to the administrative 
     burden; and
       ``(4) any other information determined appropriate by the 
     Secretary.
       ``(g) Prohibition on Resale.--A covered entity that 
     receives a discount under this section for the purchase of a 
     drug or biological may not--
       ``(1) resell or otherwise transfer such drug or biological 
     to a person other than a patient of the covered entity;
       ``(2) purchase such drug or biological on behalf of an 
     entity that is considered a separate entity under subsection 
     (a) or on behalf of any person other than the covered entity; 
     or
       ``(3) dispense or administer, directly or through a 
     contract, such drug or biological to an individual who is not 
     receiving the drug or biological as a patient of the covered 
     entity.

     this subsection shall be subject to a civil penalty in the 
     amount of $25,000 for each such violation.
       ``(h) Dispute Resolution.--
       ``(1) Application.--This subsection shall apply when a 
     manufacturer that is subject to an agreement under this 
     section, or when a covered entity, believes that--
       ``(A) information utilized under this section with respect 
     to such manufacturer or covered entity is inaccurate, 
     incomplete, or discrepant in a material respect; or
       ``(B) the Secretary has breached the discount agreement 
     with respect to such manufacturer or covered entity in any 
     material respect.
       ``(2) Notice.--If a manufacturer determines that a dispute 
     may exist with respect to any of the matters described in 
     paragraph (1), such manufacturer shall provide prompt notice 
     of the disputed item to the Secretary. Such notice shall 
     describe the disputed item in sufficient detail to permit the 
     Secretary to understand the issue, prepare a response, and 
     participate in negotiations with the manufacturer concerning 
     such dispute.
       ``(3) Best efforts at resolution.--The Secretary and a 
     manufacturer submitting a notice described in paragraph (2) 
     shall utilize their best efforts to resolve the dispute 
     informally within 60 days of the Secretary's receipt of such 
     notification.
       ``(4) Failure to resolve.--If the Secretary and a 
     manufacturer submitting a notice under paragraph (2) are 
     unable to resolve the dispute through the informal process 
     undertaken under paragraph (3) within the period specified in 
     such paragraph, the Secretary shall appoint a hearing officer 
     to conduct a hearing concerning the dispute, either on the 
     record or through the presentation of testimony.
       ``(5) Hearing.--
       ``(A) Conduct.--A hearing shall be conducted not earlier 
     than 30 days after notice of such hearing is provided to the 
     parties by the hearing officer appointed under paragraph (4).
       ``(B) Recommendation.--Not later than 10 days after the 
     close of a hearing conducted under this paragraph, the 
     hearing officer shall issue a recommended decision.
       ``(C) Decisions.--The decision of a hearing officer under 
     subparagraph (B) shall be based upon the evidence presented 
     at the hearing or otherwise included in the hearing record. 
     Such decision shall be made in writing and shall contain 
     findings of fact and statement of reasons. A copy of such 
     decision shall be mailed to each party to the hearing.
       ``(D) Submissions.--Not later than 30 days after receiving 
     a copy of the hearing officer's recommendation under 
     subparagraph (C), a party to the hearing may file a written 
     submission in support of the position of such party.
       ``(E) Final decision.--Not later than 60 days after the 
     issuance of a recommendation under subparagraph (B), the 
     Secretary shall issue a final decision with respect to the 
     dispute involved. If such decision is adverse to the 
     manufacturer, the manufacturer may seek such any judicial 
     review available under Federal law.
       ``(F) Suspension of discount.--A manufacturer's obligation 
     to provide a discount with respect to that quantity of a 
     covered drug that is the subject of a dispute under this 
     paragraph shall be suspended until the Secretary has made a 
     final decision under subparagraph (E). Once the Secretary 
     issues a final decision with respect to such dispute that is 
     adverse to the manufacturer, the discount price determined by 
     the Secretary under such decision shall apply retroactively 
     to the date on which such dispute arose.
       ``(i) Audits.--The Secretary and the manufacturer of a 
     covered drug to which a discount has been applied under this 
     section may perform audits under this section. The Secretary, 
     covered entities, wholesalers, and such manufacturers shall 
     make available the statements and information utilized in 
     making determination under such subsection and such 
     underlying records as may exist. Adjustments to discounts 
     shall be made to the extent that information indicates that 
     the number of units of a covered drug purchased by such 
     covered entities or the prices provided by the manufacturer 
     were greater or lesser than previously specified. The 
     manufacturer may only audit those records relating to their 
     products.
       ``(j) Confidentiality.--All information contained in any 
     statements, information or records provided or made available 
     by a manufacturer or a wholesaler to the Secretary or a 
     hearing officer under this section shall remain 
     confidential.''.

     United States Code, to revise certain pay authorities that 
     apply to Department of Veterans Affairs nurses, to improve

     SEC. 102. SEXUAL TRAUMA COUNSELING.

       (a) In General.--(1) Chapter 17 of title 38, United States 
     Code, is amended by adding at the end of subchapter II the 
     following new section:

     ``Sec. 1720D. Counseling to women veterans for sexual trauma

       ``(a)(1) During the period through December 31, 1995, the 
     Secretary may provide counseling to a woman veteran who the 
     Secretary determines requires such counseling to overcome 
     psychological trauma, which in the judgment of a mental 
     health professional employed by the Department, resulted from 
     a physical assault of a sexual nature, battery of a sexual 
     nature, or sexual harassment which occurred while the veteran 
     was serving on active duty.
       ``(2) To be eligible to receive counseling under this 
     subsection, a veteran must seek such counseling from the 
     Secretary within two years after the date of the veteran's 
     discharge or release from active military, naval, or air 
     service.
       ``(3) In furnishing counseling to a veteran under this 
     subsection, the Secretary may, during the period through 
     December 31, 1994, provide such counseling pursuant to a 
     contract with a qualified mental health professional if (A) 
     in the judgment of a mental health professional employed by 
     the Department, the receipt of counseling by that veteran in 
     facilities of the Department would be clinically inadvisable, 
     or (B) Department facilities are not capable of furnishing 
     such counseling to that veteran economically because of 
     geographical inaccessibility. 
       ``(b) In providing services to a veteran under subsection 
     (a), the period for which counseling is provided may not 
     exceed one year from the date of the commencement of the 
     furnishing of such counseling to the veteran. However, the 
     Secretary may authorize a longer period in any case if, in 
     the judgment of the Secretary, a longer period of counseling 
     is required.
       ``(c)(1) The Secretary shall give priority to the 
     establishment and operation of the program to provide 
     counseling under subsection (a). In the case of a veteran 
     eligible for such counseling who requires other care or 
     services under this chapter for trauma described in 
     subsection (a)(1), the Secretary shall ensure that the 
     veteran is furnished counseling under this section in a way 
     that is coordinated with the furnishing of such other care 
     and services under this chapter.
       ``(2) In establishing a program to provide counseling under 
     subsection (a), the Secretary shall--

     (or periods) beginning on or after January 1, 1993 (without 
     regard to whether or not regulations to carry out such 
     amendments have been promulgated by such date).

     Revitalization Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 2. ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE PILOT PROGRAM.

       (a) In General.--The Secretary of Veterans Affairs shall 
     carry out a pilot program under this section during fiscal 
     years 1993 through 1997 to demonstrate the feasibility of 
     guaranteeing mortgages that provide for periodic adjustments 
     by the mortgagee in the effective rate of interest charged. A 
     mortgage may be guaranteed under this section only if it 
     meets the requirements of chapter 37 of title 38, United 
     States Code, except as those requirements are modified by 
     this section.
       (b) Adjustments Authorized.--Interest rate adjustments or a 
     mortgage guaranteed under this section shall--
       (1) correspond to a specified national interest rate index 
     approved in regulations by the Secretary, information on 
     which is readily accessible to mortgagors from generally 
     available published sources;
       (2) be made by adjusting the monthly payment on an annual 
     basis on the anniversary of the date on which the loan was 
     closed;
       (3) be limited, with respect to any single annual interest 
     rate adjustment, to a maximum increase or decrease of 1 
     percentage point; and
       (4) be limited, over the term of the mortgage, to a maximum 
     increase of 5 percentage points above the initial contract 
     interest rate.
       (c) Underwriting Standards.--The Secretary shall promulgate 
     underwriting standards for loans guaranteed under this 
     section, taking into account--
       (1) the status of the interest rate index referred to in 
     subsection (b)(1) and available at the time an underwriting 
     decision is made, regardless of the actual initial rate 
     offered by the lender;
       (2) the maximum and likely amounts of increases in mortgage 
     payments that the loans would require;
       (3) the underwriting standards applicable to adjustable 
     rate mortgages insured under title II of the National Housing 
     Act; and
       (4) such other factors as the Secretary finds appropriate.
       (d) Regulations.--The Secretary shall issue regulations 
     requiring that the mortgagee make available to the mortgagor, 
     at the time of loan application, a written explanation of the 
     features of the adjustable rate mortgage, including a 
     hypothetical payment schedule that displays the maximum 
     potential increases in monthly payments to the mortgagor over 
     the first 5 years of the mortgage term.
       (e) Limitations.--The aggregate number of mortgages and 
     loans guaranteed under this section, may not exceed 10 
     percent of the aggregate number of mortgages and loans 
     guaranteed by the Secretary under chapter 37 of title 38, 
     United States Code, during the preceding fiscal year.
       (f) Reports.--Not later than 1 year after the date on which 
     the Secretary first exercises the authority to guarantee 
     loans under this section, and for each of the four years 
     thereafter, the Secretary shall transmit to the Committees on 
     Veterans' Affairs of the Senate and House of Representatives 
     a report on the pilot program under this section. Each report 
     shall contain a summary of loan activity for loans guaranteed 
     under this section, including information pertaining to 
     defaults and comparisons with the default rates for fixed-
     rate loans guaranteed under chapter 37 of title 38, United 
     States Code, fixed-rate and adjustable rate loans insured 
     under title II of the National Housing Act, and loans made in 
     the conventional mortgage market.

       (a) In General.--The Secretary of Veterans Affairs shall 
     carry out a pilot program under this section during fiscal 
     years 1993 and 1994 to demonstrate the feasibility of 
     guaranteeing mortgages for the acquisition of an existing 
     dwelling and the cost of making energy efficiency 
     improvements to the dwelling. A mortgage may be guaranteed 
     under this section only if it meets the requirements of 
     chapter 37 of title 38, United States Code, except as those 
     requirements are modified by this section.
       (b) Improvements Authorized.--The cost of energy efficiency 
     measures that may be financed by a loan guaranteed under this 
     section may not--
       (1) exceed the greater of--
       (A) $4,000; or
       (B) an amount that is equal to 5 percent of the value of 
     the dwelling before installation of the energy efficiency 
     improvements but does not exceed $8,000; or
       (2) increase the monthly payment for principal and interest 
     by an amount greater than the likely reduction in monthly 
     utility costs resulting from the energy efficiency 
     improvements.
       (c) Guarantee.--The Secretary shall guarantee a loan under 
     this section in the same proportion as the guaranty that 
     would be provided under section 3703(a)(1)(A) of title 38, 
     United States Code, for the dwelling without the energy 
     efficiency improvements. The amount of a veteran's 
     entitlement, calculated in accordance with section 
     3703(a)(1)(B) of title 38, shall not be affected by the 
     incremental amount of the guaranty provided for the portion 
     of the loan necessary to finance the energy efficiency 
     improvements.
       (d) Regulations.--The Secretary shall issue such 
     regulations as may be necessary to carry out this section.
       (e) Limitations.--The pilot program under this section 
     shall be carried out in not fewer than 5 nor more than 10 
     States. The aggregate number of mortgages and loans 
     guaranteed under this section, may not exceed 1,250 during 
     fiscal years 1993 and 1994.
       (f) Outreach.--The Secretary shall take appropriate actions 
     to notify eligible veterans, participating lenders, and 
     interested realtors in the States in which the pilot program 
     will be carried out of the availability of loan guarantees 
     under this section and the procedures and requirements that 
     apply to the obtaining of such guarantees.
       (g) Termination.--If the Secretary finds that the aggregate 
     incremental cost of the pilot program under this section will 
     exceed a total of $2,000,000 during fiscal years 1993 and 
     1994, the Secretary may terminate the program under this 
     section prior to the close of fiscal year 1994.
       (h) Reports.--Not later than 1 year after the date on which 
     the Secretary first exercises the authority to guarantee 
     loans under this section, and for each of the 5 years 
     thereafter, the Secretary shall transmit to the Committees on 
     Veterans' Affairs of the Senate and House of Representatives 
     a report on the pilot program under this section. Each such 
     report shall contain information pertaining to default rates 
     on the mortgages guaranteed under this section and 
     information on the effect of energy efficiency improvements 
     on resale values and home utility consumption and costs.
       (i) Effect on Other Law.--This section does not supersede 
     or otherwise affect the guarantee authority under section 
     3710(a)(7) of title 38, United States Code.

     SEC. 4. NEGOTIATED INTEREST RATES.

       (a) In General.--Section 3703(c) of title 38, United States

     guaranteed under such section with the number of fixed rate 
     loans guaranteed or insured under chapter 37 of such title

     for single family housing insured by the Secretary of Housing 
     and Urban Development pursuant to the National Housing Act;

     rate mortgages guaranteed under such section with the fixed

     300,000 of whom are existing only on the intermittent 
     provision of relief supplies;
       Whereas the Government of Sudan is engaging in gross abuses

     from their ancestral homes in southern Kordofan Province, the 
     destruction of Nuba villages, and the killing of hundreds of 
     civilians;
       Whereas the Government of Sudan has undertaken a cruel 
     campaign to relocate some 500,000 internally displaced 
     southerners and westerners from the outskirts of Khartoum to 
     inhospitable camps far from the city, has announced plans to 
     relocate an additional 250,000 in the coming months, and 
     inhibited many international relief agencies from aiding the 
     displaced;
       Whereas the Government of Sudan has systematically harassed 
     international relief agencies and workers whose only 
     objective is to reduce suffering among Sudanese citizens in 
     need;
       Whereas the Government of Sudan is engaging in the 
     imprisonment, torture, and execution of suspected dissidents

     which the victims had no possibility of appropriate counsel

     Development in Juba;
       (E) to cease its violent campaign of forced displacement of 
     the Nuba people of Kordofan Province and the displaced people 
     from Khartoum, to permit a greater number of international 
     relief organizations to attend to their needs, and to 
     initiate a process for just settlement of claims of those who 
     have been relocated and whose homes and belongings have been 
     destroyed;
       (F) to permit international human rights groups to visit 
     all areas of Sudan, including places of detention and 
     displaced persons camps; and
       (G) to lift the ban on the institutions of independent 
     civil society such as the press and labor unions, and to 
     restore freedom of speech and expression;
       (2) calls upon the Sudan Peoples' Liberation Army to end 
     its human rights abuses and interference with relief efforts; 
     and
       (3) calls upon the President to work with United Nations 
     Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali to convene a Security

     warrant or process, inspect equipment, logs, documents, 
     catch, and other articles, and question persons, on board the 
     vessel, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of the 
     Convention, this title, or any regulation issued under this 
     title; and 
       (B) if any such vessel or person on board is actually 
     engaged in operations in violation of any such provision, or 
     there is reasonable ground to believe any person or vessel 
     was obviously so engaged before the boarding of such vessel 
     by the authorized officer, arrest or seize such person or 
     vessel and further investigate the circumstance if necessary.

     If an authorized officer, after boarding and investigation, 
     has reasonable cause to believe that any such fishing vessel 
     or person engaged in operations in violation of any provision 
     referred to in subparagraph (A), the officer shall deliver 
     the vessel or person as promptly as practicable to the 
     enforcement officers of the appropriate Party, in accordance 
     with the provisions of the Convention.
       (2) When requested by the appropriate authorities of a 
     Party, an authorized officer may be directed to attend as a 
     witness, and to produce such available records and files or 
     duly certified copies thereof as may be necessary, for the 
     prosecution by that Party of any violation of the provisions 
     of the Convention or any law of that Party relating to the 
     enforcement thereof.

     incidentally in a fishery directed at nonanadromous fish in 
     the Convention area;
       (3) to fail to return immediately to the sea any anadromous 
     fish taken incidentally in a fishery directed at 
     nonanadromous fish in the Convention area;
       (4) to ship, transport, offer for sale, sell, purchase, 
     import, export, or have custody, control, or possession of,

     Convention, this title, or any regulation issued under this 
     title;
       (5) to refuse to permit any enforcement officer to board a 
     fishing vessel subject to such person's control for purposes 
     of conducting any search or inspection in connection with the 
     enforcement of the Convention, this title, or any regulation 
     issued under this title;
       (6) to forcibly assault, resist, oppose, impede, 
     intimidate, or interfere with any enforcement officer in the

     (5);
       (7) to resist a lawful arrest or detection for any act 
     prohibited by this section;
       (8) to interfere with, delay, or prevent, by any means, the 
     apprehension, arrest, or detection of another person, knowing 
     that such person has committed any act prohibited by this 
     section; or 
       (9) to violate any provision of the Convention, this title, 
     or any regulation issued under this title.

     SEC. 811. PENALTIES.

       (a) Civil Penalties.--(1) Any person who is found by the 
     Secretary of Commerce, after notice and opportunity for a 
     hearing in accordance with section 554 of title 5, United 
     States Code, to have committed an act prohibited by section 
     810 shall be liable to the United States for a civil penalty. 
     The amount of the civil penalty shall not exceed $100,000 for 
     each violation. Each day of a continuing violation shall 
     constitute a separate offense. The amount of such civil 
     penalty shall be assessed by the Secretary of Commerce, or 
     the Secretary's designee, by written notice. In determining 
     the amount of such penalty, the Secretary of Commerce shall 
     take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and 
     gravity of the prohibited acts committed and, with respect to 
     the violation, the degree of culpability, any history of 
     prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as 
     justice may require.
       (2) Any person against whom a civil penalty is assessed 
     under paragraph (1) may obtain review thereof in the 
     appropriate court of the United States by filing a complaint 
     in such court within 30 days from the date of such order and 
     by simultaneously serving a copy of such complaint by 
     certified mail on the Secretary of Commerce, the Attorney 
     General, and the appropriate United States Attorney. The 
     Secretary of Commerce shall promptly file in such court a 
     certified copy of the record upon which such violation was 
     found or such penalty imposed, as provided in section 2112 of 
     title 28, United States Code. The findings and order of the 
     Secretary of Commerce shall be set aside by such court if 
     they are not found to be supported by substantial evidence, 
     as provided in section 706(2) of title 5, United States Code.
       (3) If any person fails to pay assessment of a civil 
     penalty after it has become a final and unappealable order, 
     or after the appropriate court has entered final judgment in 
     favor of the Secretary of Commerce, the matter shall be 
     referred to the Attorney General, who shall recover the 
     amount assessed in any appropriate district court of the 
     United States. In such action, the validity and 
     appropriateness of the final order imposing the civil penalty 
     shall not be subject to review.
       (4) A fishing vessel (including its fishing gear, 
     furniture, appurtenances, stores, and cargo) used in the 
     commission mission of an act prohibited by section 810 shall 
     be liable in rem for any civil penalty assessed for such 
     violation under paragraph (1) and may be proceeded against in 
     any district court of the United States having jurisdiction 
     thereof. Such penalty shall constitute a maritime lien on 
     such vessel that may be recovered in an action in rem in the 
     district court of the United States having jurisdiction over 
     the vessel. 
       (5) The Secretary of Commerce may compromise, modify, or 
     remit, with or without conditions, any civil penalty that is 
     subject to imposition or that has been imposed under this 
     section.
       (6) For the purposes of conducting any hearing under this 
     section, the Secretary of Commerce may issue subpoenas for 
     the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production 
     of relevant papers, books, and documents, any may administer 
     oaths. Witnesses summoned shall be paid the same fees and 
     mileage that are paid to witnesses in the courts of the 
     United States. In case of contempt or refusal to obey a 
     subpoena served upon any person pursuant to this paragraph, 
     the district court of the United States for any district in 
     which such person is found, resides, or transacts business, 
     upon application by the United States and after notice to 
     such person, shall have jurisdiction to issue an order 
     requiring such person to appear and give testimony before the 
     Secretary of Commerce or to appear and produce documents 
     before the Secretary of Commerce, or both, and any failure to 
     obey such order of the court may be punished by such court as 
     a contempt thereof.
       (b) Offenses.--(1) A person is guilty of an offense if the 
     person commits any act prohibited by section 810(5), (6), 
     (7), or (8).
       (2) Any offense described in paragraph (1) is a class A 
     misdemeanor punishable by a fine under title 18, United 
     States Code, or imprisonment for not more than 6 months, or 
     both; except that if in the commission of any offense the 
     person uses a dangerous weapon, engages in conduct that 
     causes bodily injury to any enforcement officer, or places 
     any such officer in fear of imminent bodily injury, the 
     offense is a felony punishable by a fine under title 18, 
     United States Code, or imprisonment for not more than 10 
     years, or both.
       (c) Forfeiture.--(1) Any fishing vessel (including its 
     fishing gear, furniture, appurtenances, stores, and cargo) 
     used, and any fish (or a fair market value thereof) taken or 
     retained, in any manner, in connection with or as a result of 
     the commission of any act prohibited by section 810 shall be 
     subject to forfeiture to the United States. All or part of 
     such vessel may, and all such fish shall, be forfeited to the 
     United States pursuant to a civil proceeding under this 
     section.
       (2) Any district court of the United States shall have 
     jurisdiction, upon application of the Attorney General on 
     behalf of the United States, to order any forfeiture 
     authorized under paragraph (1) and any action provided for 
     under paragraph (4).
       (3) If a judgment is entered for the United States in a 
     civil forfeiture proceeding under this section, the Attorney 
     General may seize any property or other interest declared 
     forfeited to the United States, which has not previously been 
     seized pursuant to this title or for which security has not 
     previously been obtained. The provisions of the customs laws 
     relating to--
       (A) the seizure, forfeiture, and condemnation of property 
     for violation of the customs law;
       (B) the disposition of such property or the proceeds from 
     the sale thereof; and
       (C) the remission or mitigation of any such forfeiture;
     shall apply to seizures and forfeitures incurred, or alleged 
     to have been incurred, under the provisions of this title, 
     unless such provisions are inconsistent with the purposes, 
     policy, and provisions of this title.
       (4)(A) Any officer authorized to serve any process in rem 
     that is issued by a court having jurisdiction under section 
     809(b) shall--
       (i) stay the execution of such process; or
       (ii) discharge any fish seized pursuant to such process;
     upon receipt of a satisfactory bond or other security from 
     any person claiming such property. Such bond or other 
     security shall be conditioned upon such person delivering 
     such property to the appropriate court upon order thereof, 
     without any impairment of its value, or paying the monetary 
     value of such property pursuant to an order of such court. 
     Judgment shall be recoverable on such bond

[[Page 3138]]

     or other security against both the principal and any sureties 
     in the event that any condition thereof is breached, as 
     determined by such court.
       (B) Any fish seized pursuant to this title may be sold, 
     subject to the approval and direction of the appropriate 
     court, for not less than the fair market value thereof. The 
     proceeds of any such sale shall be deposited with such court 
     pending the disposition of the matter involved.
       (5) For purposes of this section, it shall be a rebuttable 
     presumption that all fish found on board a fishing vessel and 
     which is seized in connection with an act prohibited by 
     section 810 were taken or retained in violation of the 
     Convention and this title.

       (E) dredging of Creve Coeur Lake to help remedy a chronic 
     siltation problem and to promote fish and wildlife 
     populations;
       (F) construction of a new lake in one of the additions to 
     the Park referred to in subparagraph (A) to help alleviate 
     the recurrence of a chronic siltation problem in a manner 
     that minimizes, to the maximum extent practicable and in 
     accordance with section 404 of the Federal Water Pollution 
     Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1344), the disturbance of any existing 
     wetlands;

     Response Facilitation Act''.

[[Page 3140]]

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds the following:
       (1) The closure of certain Federal facilities is having 
     adverse effects on the economies of local communities by 
     eliminating jobs associated with such facilities, and delay 
     in remediation of environmental contamination of real 
     property at such facilities is preventing transfer and 
     private development of such property.
       (2) Each department, agency, or instrumentality of the 
     United States, in cooperation with local communities, should 
     expeditiously identify real property that offers the greatest 
     opportunity for reuse and redevelopment on each facility 
     under the jurisdiction of the department, agency, or 
     instrumentality where operations are terminating.
       (3) Remedial actions, including remedial investigations and 
     feasibility studies, and corrective actions at such Federal 
     facilities should be expedited in a manner to facilitate 
     environmental protection and the sale or transfer of such 
     excess real property for the purpose of mitigating adverse 
     economic effects on the surrounding community.
       (4) Each department, agency, or instrumentality of the 
     United States, in accordance with applicable law, should make 
     available without delay such excess real property.
       (5) In the case of any real property owned by the United 
     States and transferred to another person, the United States 
     Government should remain responsible for conducting any 
     remedial action or corrective action necessary to protect 
     human health and the environment with respect to any 
     hazardous substance or petroleum product or its derivatives, 
     including aviation fuel and motor oil, that was present on 
     such real property at the time of transfer.

     SEC. 3. REQUIREMENT FOR IDENTIFICATION OF LAND ON WHICH NO 
                   HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES OR PETROLEUM PRODUCTS OR 
                   THEIR DERIVATIVES WERE STORED, RELEASED, OR 
                   DISPOSED OF.

       Section 120(h) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
     Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. 9620(h)) 
     is amended by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
       ``(4) Identification of uncontaminated property.--(A) In 
     the case of real property to which this paragraph applies (as 
     set forth in subparagraph (E)), the head of the department, 
     agency, or instrumentality of the United States with 
     jurisdiction over the property shall identify the real 
     property on which no hazardous substances and no petroleum 
     products or their derivatives were stored for one year or 
     more, known to have been released, or disposed of. Such 
     identification shall be based on an investigation of the real 
     property to determine or discover the obviousness of the 
     presence or likely presence of a release or threatened 
     release of any hazardous substance or any petroleum product 
     or its derivatives, including aviation fuel and motor oil, on 
     the real property. The identification shall consist, at a 
     minimum, of a review of each of the following sources of 
     information concerning the current and previous uses of the 
     real property:
       ``(i) A detailed search of Federal Government records 
     pertaining to the property.
       ``(ii) Recorded chain of title documents regarding the real 
     property.
       ``(iii) Aerial photographs that may reflect prior uses of 
     the real property and that are reasonably obtainable through 
     State or local government agencies.
       ``(iv) A visual inspection of the real property and any 
     buildings, structures, equipment, pipe, pipeline, or other 
     improvements on the real property, and a visual inspection of 
     properties immediately adjacent to the real property.
       ``(v) A physical inspection of property adjacent to the 
     real property, to the extent permitted by owners or operators 
     of such property.
       ``(vi) Reasonably obtainable Federal, State, and local 
     government records of each adjacent facility where there has 
     been a release of any hazardous substance or any petroleum 
     product or its derivatives, including aviation fuel and motor 
     oil, and which is likely to cause or contribute to a release 
     or threatened release of any hazardous substance or any 
     petroleum product or its derivatives, including aviation fuel 
     and motor oil, on the real property.
       ``(vii) Interviews with current or former employees 
     involved in operations on the real property.

     Such identification shall also be based on sampling, if 
     appropriate under the circumstances. The results of the 
     identification shall be provided immediately to the 
     Administrator and State and local government officials and 
     made available to the public.
       ``(B) The identification required under subparagraph (A) is 
     not complete until concurrence in the results of the 
     identification is obtained, in the case of real property that 
     is part of a facility on the National Priorities List, from 
     the Administrator, or, in the case of real property that is 
     not part of a facility on the National Priorities List, from 
     the appropriate State official. In the case of a concurrence 
     which is required from a State official, the concurrence is 
     deemed to be obtained if, within 90 days after receiving a 
     request for the concurrence, the State official has not acted 
     (by either concurring or declining to concur) on the request 
     for concurrence.
       ``(C)(i) Except as provided in clauses (ii), (iii), and 
     (iv), the identification and concurrence required under 
     subparagraphs (A) and (B), respectively, shall be made at 
     least 6 months before the termination of operations on the

     or realigned or scheduled for closure or realignment pursuant 
     to a base closure law described in subparagraph (E)(ii)(I) or 
     (E)(ii)(II) by the date of the enactment of the Community 
     Environmental Response Facilitation Act, the identification 
     and concurrence required under subparagraphs (A) and (B), 
     respectively, shall be made not later than 18 months after 
     such date of enactment.
       ``(iii) In the case of real property described in 
     subparagraph (E)(i)(II) on which operations are closed or 
     realigned or become scheduled for closure or realignment 
     pursuant to the base closure law described in subparagraph 
     (E)(ii)(II) after the date of the enactment of the Community 
     Environmental Response Facilitation Act, the identification 
     and concurrence required under subparagraphs (A) and (B), 
     respectively, shall be made not later than 18 months after 
     the date by which a joint resolution disapproving the closure 
     or realignment of the real property under section 2904(b) of 
     such base closure law must be enacted, and such a joint 
     resolution has not been enacted.
       ``(iv) In the case of real property described in 
     subparagraphs (E)(i)(II) on which operations are closed or 
     realigned pursuant to a base closure law described in 
     subparagraph (E)(ii)(III) or (E)(ii)(IV), the identification 
     and concurrence required under subparagraphs (A) and (B), 
     respectively, shall be made not later than 18 months after 
     the date on which the real property is selected for closure

     parcel of real property identified under subparagraph (A), 
     the deed entered into for the sale or transfer of such 
     property by the United States to any other person or entity 
     shall contain--
       ``(i) a covenant warranting that any response action or 
     corrective action found to be necessary after the date of

     States; and

     SEC. 4. CLARIFICATION OF COVENANT WARRANTING THAT REMEDIAL 
                   ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN.

       (a) Clarification.--Paragraph (3) of section 120(h) of the

     and successfully. The carrying out of long-term pumping and 
     treating, or operation and maintenance, after the remedy has 
     been demonstrated to the Administrator to be operating 
     properly and successfully does not preclude the transfer of 
     the property.''.

     further amended--
       (1) by striking out ``, and'' at the end of subparagraph

     law or regulation to be inspected, examined, or appraised 
     shall not be delivered from customs custody (except under 
     such bond or other security as may be prescribed by the 
     Secretary to assure compliance with all applicable laws, 
     regulations, and instructions which the Secretary or the 
     Customs Service is authorized to enforce) until the

     reported by the Customs Service to have been truly and 
     correctly invoiced and found to comply with the requirements 
     of the laws of the United States.
       ``(2) Examination.--The Customs Service--
       ``(A) shall designate the packages or quantities of 
     merchandise covered by any invoice or entry which are to be 
     opened and examined for the purpose of appraisement or 
     otherwise;

     shipper, owner, agent, importer of record, or entry filer, 
     the contents of the entire package in which such article is 
     found shall be subject to seizure; or

     the Customs Service. The Customs Service shall make allowance 
     for the deficiency in the liquidation of duties.

     is conducted, any information required for release shall be 
     provided, either electronically or in paper form, to the 
     Customs Service at the port of examination. The absence of 
     such information does not limit the authority of the Customs 
     Service to conduct an examination.
       ``(b) Testing Laboratories.--
       ``(1) Accreditation of private testing laboratories.--The 
     Customs Service shall establish and implement a procedure, 
     under regulations promulgated by the Secretary, for 
     accrediting private laboratories within the United States 
     which may be used to perform tests (that would otherwise be 
     performed by Customs Service laboratories) to establish the 
     characteristics, quantities, or composition of imported 
     merchandise. Such regulations--

     laboratories to receive and maintain accreditation for 
     purposes of this subsection;

     suspension and revocation of accreditation, which may include 
     the imposition of a monetary penalty not to exceed $100,000 
     and such penalty is in addition to the recovery, from a 
     gauger or laboratory accredited under paragraph (1), of any 
     loss of revenue that may have occurred, but the Customs 
     Service--
       ``(i) may seek to recover lost revenue only in cases where 
     the gauger or laboratory intentionally falsified the analysis 
     or gauging report in collusion with the importer; and
       ``(ii) shall neither assess penalties nor seek to recover 
     lost revenue because of a good faith difference of 
     professional opinion; and
       ``(C) may provide for the imposition of a reasonable charge 
     for accreditation and periodic reaccreditation.
     The collection of any charge for accreditation and 
     reaccreditation under this section is not prohibited by 
     section 13031(e)(6) of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget 
     Reconciliation Act of 1985 (19 U.S.C. 58c(e)(6)).
       ``(2) Appeal of adverse accreditation decisions.--A 
     laboratory applying for accreditation, or that is accredited, 
     under this section may contest any decision or order of the 
     Customs Service denying, suspending, or revoking 
     accreditation, or imposing a monetary penalty, by commencing 
     an action in accordance with chapter 169 of title 28, United 
     States Code, in the Court of International Trade within 60 
     days after issuance of the decision or order.
       ``(3) Testing by accredited laboratories.--When requested 
     by an importer of record of merchandise, the Customs Service 
     shall authorize the release to the importer of a 
     representative sample of the merchandise for testing, at the 
     expense of the importer, by a laboratory accredited under 
     paragraph (1). The testing results from a laboratory 
     accredited under paragraph (1) that are submitted by an 
     importer of record with respect to merchandise in an entry 
     shall, in the absence of testing results obtained from a 
     Customs Service laboratory, be accepted by the Customs 
     Service if the importer of record certifies that the sample 
     tested was taken from the merchandise in the entry. Nothing 
     in this subsection shall be construed to limit in any way or 
     preclude the authority of the Customs Service to test or 
     analyze any sample or merchandise independently.
       ``(4) Availability of testing procedure, methodologies, and 
     information.--Testing procedures and methodologies used by 
     the Customs Service, and information resulting from any 
     testing conducted by the Customs Service, shall be made 
     available as follows:
       ``(A) Testing procedures and methodologies shall be made 
     available upon request to any person unless the procedures or 
     methodologies are--

     related to such procedures or methodologies, or
       ``(ii) developed by the Customs Service for enforcement 
     purposes.

     available upon request to the importer of record and any 
     agent thereof unless the information--
       ``(i) is proprietary to the holder of a copyright or patent 
     related to the procedures or methodologies; or 
       ``(ii) reveals information developed by the Customs Service 
     for enforcement purposes.
       ``(5) Miscellaneous provisions.--For purposes of this 
     subsection--
       ``(A) any reference to a private laboratory includes a 
     reference to a private gauger; and
       ``(B) accreditation of private laboratories extends only to 
     the performance of functions by such laboratories that are 
     within the scope of those responsibilities for determinations 
     of the elements relating to admissibility, quantity, 
     composition, or characteristics of imported merchandise that 
     are vested in, or delegated to, the Customs Service.
       ``(c) Detentions.--Except in the case of merchandise with 
     respect to which the determination of admissibility is vested 
     in an agency other than the Customs Service, the following 
     apply:

     weekends and holidays) following the date on which 
     merchandise is presented for customs examination, the Customs 
     Serv-

     ice shall decide whether to release or detain the 
     merchandise. Merchandise which is not released within such 5-
     day period shall be considered to be detained merchandise.
       ``(2) Notice of detention.--The Customs Service shall issue 
     a notice to the importer or other party having an interest in 
     detained merchandise no later than 5 days, excluding weekends 
     and holidays, after the decision to detain the merchandise is 
     made. The notice shall advise the importer or other 
     interested party of--
       ``(A) the initiation of the detention;
       ``(B) the specific reason for the detention;
       ``(C) the anticipated length of the detention;

     Customs Service shall provide the party with copies of the 
     results of any testing conducted by the Customs Service on 
     the merchandise and a description of the testing procedures 
     and methodologies (unless such procedures or methodologies 
     are proprietary to the holder of a copyright or patent or 
     were developed by the Customs Service for enforcement 
     purposes). The results and test description shall be in 
     sufficient detail to permit the duplication and analysis of 
     the testing and the results.

     law, detained merchandise may be seized and forfeited.

     determination with respect to the admissibility of detained 
     merchandise within 30 days after the merchandise has been 
     presented for customs examination, or such longer period if 
     specifically authorized by law, shall be treated as a 
     decision of the Customs Service to exclude the merchandise 
     for purposes of section 514(a)(4).
       ``(B) For purposes of section 1581 of title 28, United 
     States Code, a protest against the decision to exclude the 
     merchandise which has not been allowed or denied in whole or 
     in part before the 30th day after the day on which the 
     protest was filed shall be treated as having been denied on 
     such 30th day.

     States Code, once an action respecting a detention is 
     commenced, unless the Customs Service establishes by a 
     preponderance of the evidence that an admissibility decision 
     has not been reached for good cause, the court shall grant 
     the appropriate relief which may include, but is not limited 
     to, an order to cancel the detention and release the 
     merchandise.''.
       (b) Existing Laboratories.--Accreditation under section 
     499(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (as added by subsection (a)) 
     is not required for any private laboratory (including any 
     gauger) that was accredited or approved by the Customs 
     Service as of the day before the date of the enactment of

     preliminary results of the audit.
       ``(3) Except as provided in paragraph (5), if the estimated 
     or actual termination date for an audit passes without the 
     Customs Service auditor providing a closing conference to 
     explain the results of the audit, the person being audited 
     may petition in writing for such a conference to the 
     appropriate regional commissioner, who, upon receipt of such

     under subsection (a)(1)(A).
       ``(f) Recordkeeping Compliance Program.--
       ``(1) In general.--After consultation with the importing

     a recordkeeping compliance program which the parties listed 
     in section 508(a) may participate in after being certified by

       ``(2) Certification.--A recordkeeper may be certified as a 
     participant in the recordkeeping compliance program after 
     meeting the general recordkeeping requirements established 
     under the program or after negotiating an alternative program

[[Page 3156]]

     needs of the recordkeeper and the Customs Service. 
     Certification requirements shall take into account the size 
     and nature of the importing business and the volume of 
     imports. In order to be certified, the recordkeeper must be

     occurrences of variances to, and violations of, the 
     requirements of the recordkeeping compliance program or the 
     negotiated alternative programs, and for taking corrective

     or data referred to in subsection (a)(1)(A).

     provided in paragraph (4), if a person fails to comply with a 
     lawful demand for information under subsection (a)(1)(A) the 
     following provisions apply:
       ``(A) If the failure to comply is a result of the willful 
     failure of the person to maintain, store, or retrieve the 
     demanded information, such person shall be subject to a 
     penalty, for each release of merchandise, not to exceed 
     $100,000, or an amount equal to 75 percent of the appraised 
     value of the merchandise, whichever amount is less.
       ``(B) If the failure to comply is a result of the 
     negligence of the person in maintaining, storing, or 
     retrieving the demanded information, such person shall be 
     subject to a penalty, for each release of merchandise, not to 
     exceed $10,000, or an amount equal to 40 percent of the 
     appraised value of the merchandise, whichever amount is less.
       ``(C) In addition to any penalty imposed under subparagraph 
     (A) or (B) regarding demanded information, if such 
     information related to the eligibility of merchandise for a 
     column 1 special rate of duty under title I, the entry of 
     such merchandise--
       ``(i) if unliquidated, shall be liquidated at the 
     applicable column 1 general rate of duty; or
       ``(ii) if liquidated within the 2-year period preceding the 
     date of the demand, shall be reliquidated, notwithstanding 
     the time limitation in section 514 or 520, at the applicable 
     column 1 general rate of duty;

     except that any liquidation or reliquidation under clause (i) 
     or (ii) shall be at the applicable column 2 rate of duty if 
     the Customs Service demonstrates that the merchandise should 
     be dutiable at such rate.
       ``(3) Avoidance of penalty.--No penalty may be assessed 
     under this subsection if the person can show--
       ``(A) that the loss of the demanded information was the 
     result of an act of God or other natural casualty or disaster 
     beyond the fault of such person or an agent of the person;
       ``(B) on the basis of other evidence satisfactory to the 
     Customs Service, that the demand was substantially complied 
     with; or
       ``(C) the information demanded was presented to and 
     retained by the Customs Service at the time of entry or 
     submitted in response to an earlier demand.
       ``(4) Penalties not exclusive.--Any penalty imposed under 
     this subsection shall be in addition to any other penalty

     omission of the demanded information, or 
       ``(B) disciplinary action taken under section 641.

     recordkeeping compliance program under subsection (f); and
       ``(ii) is generally in compliance with the appropriate 
     procedures and requirements of the program;

     does not produce a demanded record or information for a 
     specific release or provide the information by acceptable 
     alternative means, the Customs Service, in the absence of 
     willfulness or repeated violations, shall issue a written 
     notice of the violation to the recordkeeper in lieu of a 
     monetary penalty. Repeated violations by the recordkeeper may 
     result in the issuance of penalties and removal of 
     certification under the program until corrective action, 
     satisfactory to the Customs Service, is taken.
       ``(B) Contents of notice.--A notice of violation issued 
     under subparagraph (A) shall--
       ``(i) state that the recordkeeper has violated the 
     recordkeeping requirements;
       ``(ii) indicate the record or information which was 
     demanded; and
       ``(iii) warn the recordkeeper that future failures to 
     produce demanded records or information may result in the 
     imposition of monetary penalties.
       ``(C) Response to notice.--Within a reasonable time after 
     receiving written notice under subparagraph (A), the 
     recordkeeper shall notify the Customs Service of the steps it 
     has taken to prevent a recurrence of the violation.
       ``(D) Regulations.--The Secretary shall promulgate 
     regulations to implement this paragraph. Such regulations may 
     specify the time periods for compliance with a demand for 
     information and provide guidelines which define repeated 
     violations for purposes of this paragraph. Any penalty issued 
     for a recordkeeping violation shall take into account the 
     degree of compliance compared to the total number of 
     importations, the nature of the demanded records and the 
     recordkeeper's cooperation.''.

     for further review was erroneously or improperly denied or 
     was denied without authority for such action, it may file 
     with the Commissioner of Customs a written request that the 
     denial of the application for further review be set aside. 
     Such request must be filed within 90 days after the date of 
     the notice of the denial. The Commissioner of Customs may 
     review such request and, based solely on the information 
     before the Customs Service at the time the application for 
     further review was denied, may set aside the denial of the 
     application for further review and void the denial of 
     protest, if appropriate. If the Commissioner of Customs fails 
     to act within 30 days after the date of the request, the 
     request shall be considered denied. All denials of protests 
     are effective from the date of original denial for purposes 
     of section 2636 of title 28, United States Code. If an action 
     is commenced in the Court of International Trade that arises 
     out of a protest or an application for further review, all 
     administrative action pertaining to such protest or 
     application shall terminate and any administrative action 
     taken subsequent to the commencement of the action is null 
     and void.
       ``(d) If a protest is timely and properly filed, but is 
     denied contrary to proper instructions, the Customs Service 
     may on its own initiative, or pursuant to a written request 
     by the protesting party filed with the appropriate district 
     director within 90 days after the date of the protest denial, 
     void the denial of the protest.''.

     merchandise.

     Any entry or other information transmitted by means of an 
     authorized electronic data interchange system shall be

Para. 121.143  college of william and mary, 300th anniversary

  On motion of Mr. SAWYER, by unanimous consent, the Committee on 
Education and Labor was discharged from further consideration of the 
following resolution (H. Res. 524):

       Whereas, throughout their history, the people of the United 
     States have recognized that an educated citizenry is 
     important to a democracy, and to that end have supported 
     universal education as well as the development of centers of 
     advanced learning for the benefit of the general welfare;
       Whereas, on February 8, 1693, a royal charter was granted 
     by King William III and Queen Mary II of England to found and 
     establish ``a certain place of universal learning'' in the 
     ``good arts and sciences'' to be known forever as the College 
     of William and Mary in Virginia;
       Whereas, on December 4, 1779, after the United States 
     gained its independence, Thomas Jefferson, then Governor of 
     the Commonwealth of Virginia and a former student of the 
     College of William and Mary, led an effort to reorganize the 
     curriculum of the

[[Page 3168]]

     College of William and Mary which resulted in the creation of 
     the first elective system of study in the United States, the 
     establishment of an honor system that remains an integral 
     part of the College of William and Mary today, and the 
     creation of the first Chair of Law in the United States;
       Whereas the students of the College of William and Mary, 
     the second oldest institution of higher learning in the 
     United States, have contributed to the general welfare for 
     three centuries, so that it has accurately been said that the 
     history of the College of William and Mary forms a 
     significant part of the history of the United States;
       Whereas among the distinguished alumni of the College of 
     William and Mary are three Presidents of the United States, 
     Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, and John Tyler; Chief Justice 
     John Marshall and three Associate Justices of the United 
     States; more than thirty United States Senators; more than 
     sixty Members of the House of Representatives; eight members 
     of Presidential cabinets; twenty-seven Governors of ten 
     States; and countless other public officials and leaders in 
     business, industry, military service, science, and the arts;
       Whereas the College of William and Mary and the town of 
     Williamsburg have flourished together, fulfilling a 
     prediction made in 1699 that ``the College will help make the 
     Town'', and together constituting an historical treasure to 
     be enjoyed and appreciated by the people of the United States 
     and the world;
       Whereas in the past twenty-five years the College of 
     William and Mary has established itself as a modern 
     university with distinctive graduate programs and as a leader 
     in higher education, while never wavering from its commitment 
     to undergraduate liberal arts education as a foundation of a 
     free society; and
       Whereas, as the College of William and Mary prepares to 
     embark upon its fourth century, it continues to educate men 
     and women to be productive citizens in both public and 
     private pursuits and to adapt its course of studies to the 
     growing needs of the community and the Nation: Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of 
     Representatives to commend and congratulate the College of 
     William and Mary in Virginia on the occasion of its three 
     hundredth anniversary, to recognize the many contributions it 
     has made to the well-being of the people of Virginia and the 
     United States, and to express the hope of the people of the 
     United States that the College of William and Mary will 
     continue to grow and prosper in the centuries yet to come.

                  RULES OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

                         ----------------------

                       ONE HUNDRED SECOND CONGRESS

[[Page 3197]]

                                 Rule I

                          duties of the speaker

  1. The Speaker shall take the Chair every legislative day precisely at 
the hour to which the House shall have adjourned at the last sitting and 
immediately call the Members to order. The Speaker, having examined the 
Journal of the proceedings of the last day's sitting and approved the 
same, shall announce to the House his approval of the Journal, and the 
Speaker's approval of the Journal shall be deemed to be agreed to 
subject to a vote on agreeing to the Speaker's approval on the demand of 
any Member, which vote, if decided in the affirmative, shall not be 
subject to a motion to reconsider. It shall be in order to offer one 
motion that the Journal be read only if the Speaker's approval of the 
Journal is not agreed to, and such motion shall be determined without 
debate and shall not be subject to a motion to reconsider.
  2. He shall preserve order and decorum, and, in case of disturbance or 
disorderly conduct in the galleries, or in the lobby, may cause the same 
to be cleared.
  3. He shall have general control, except as provided by rule or law, 
of the Hall of the House, and of the corridors and passages and the 
disposal of the unappropriated rooms in that part of the Capitol 
assigned to the use of the House, until further order.
  4. He shall sign all acts, addresses, joint resolutions, writs, 
warrants, and subpoenas of, or issued by order of, the House and decide 
all questions of order, subject to an appeal by any Member, on which 
appeal no Member shall speak more than once, unless by permission of the 
House. The Speaker is authorized to sign enrolled bills whether or not 
the House is in session.
  5. (a) He shall rise to put a question, but may state it sitting; and 
shall put questions in this form, to wit: ``As many as are in favor (as 
the question may be), say `Aye'.''; and after the affirmative voice is 
expressed, ``As many as are opposed, say `No'.''; if he doubts, or a 
division is called for, the House shall divide; those in the affirmative 
of the question shall first rise from their seats, and then those in the 
negative; if he still doubts, or a count is required by at least one-
fifth of a quorum, he shall name one or more from each side of the 
question to tell the Members in the affirmative and negative; which 
being reported, he shall rise and state the decision. However, if any 
Member requests a recorded vote and that request is supported by at 
least one-fifth of a quorum, such vote shall be taken by electronic 
device, unless the Speaker in his discretion orders clerks to tell the 
names of those voting on each side of the question, and such names shall 
be recorded by electronic device or by clerks, as the case may be, and 
shall be entered in the Journal together with the names of those not 
voting. Members shall have not less than fifteen minutes to be counted 
from the ordering of the recorded vote or the ordering of clerks to tell 
the vote.
  (b)(1) On any legislative day whenever a recorded vote is ordered or 
the yeas and nays are ordered, or a vote is objected to under clause 4 
of Rule XV on any of the following questions, the Speaker may, in his 
discretion, postpone further proceedings on each such question to a 
designated time or place in the legislative schedule on that legislative 
day in the case of the question of agreeing to the Speaker's approval of 
the Journal, or within two legislative days, in the case of the other 
questions listed herein:
    (A) the question of passing bills;
    (B) the question of adopting resolutions;
    (C) the question of ordering the previous question on privileged 
  resolutions reported from the Committee on Rules;
    (D) the question of agreeing to conference reports;
    (E) the question of agreeing to motions to suspend the Rules; and
    (F) the question of agreeing to motions to instruct conferees as 
  provided in clause 1(c) of rule XXVIII: Provided, however, That said 
  question shall not be put if the conference report on that measure has 
  been filed in the House.
  (2) At the time designated by the Speaker for further consideration of 
proceedings postponed under subparagraph (1), the Speaker shall put each 
question on which further proceedings were postponed, in the order in 
which that question was considered.
  (3) At any time after the vote has been taken on the first question on 
which the Speaker has postponed further proceedings under this 
paragraph, the Speaker may, in his discretion, reduce to not less than 
five minutes the period of time within which a roll call vote by 
electronic device on the question may be taken without any intervening 
business on any or all of the additional questions on which the Speaker 
has postponed further proceedings under this paragraph.
  (4) If the House adjourns before all of the questions on which further 
proceedings were postponed under this paragraph have been put and 
determined, then, on the next following legislative day the unfinished 
business shall be the disposition of all such questions, previously 
undisposed of, in the order in which the questions were considered.
  6. He shall not be required to vote in ordinary legislative 
proceedings, ex- cept where his vote would be decisive, or where the 
House is engaged in voting by ballot; and in cases of a tie vote the 
question shall be lost.
  7. He shall have the right to name any Member to perform the duties of 
the Chair, but such substitution shall not extend beyond three 
legislative days, except that with the permission of the House he may 
name a Member to act as Speaker pro tempore only to sign enrolled bills 
and joint resolutions for a period of time specified in the designation, 
notwithstanding any other provision of this clause: Provided, however, 
That in case of his illness, he may make such appointment for a period 
not exceeding ten days, with the approval of the House at the time the 
same is made; and in his absence and omission to make such appointment, 
the House shall proceed to elect a Speaker pro tempore to act during his 
absence.
  8. He shall have the authority to designate any Member, officer or 
employee of the House of Representatives to travel on the business of 
the House of Representatives, as determined by him, within or without 
the United States, whether the House is meeting, has recessed or has 
adjourned, and all expenses for such travel may be paid for from the 
contingent fund of the House on vouchers solely approved and signed by 
the Speaker. However, expenses may not be paid from the contingent fund 
for travel of a Member after the date of the general election of Members 
in which the Member has not been elected to the succeeding Congress, or 
in the case of a Member who is not a candidate in such general election, 
the earlier of the date of such general election or the adjournment sine 
die of the last regular session of the Congress.
  9. (a) He shall devise and implement a system subject to his direction 
and control for closed circuit viewing of floor proceedings of the House 
of Representatives in the offices of all Members and committees and in 
such other places in the Capitol and the House Of-

[[Page 3198]]

fice Buildings as he deems appropriate. Such system may include other 
telecommunications functions as he deems appropriate. Any such 
telecommunications function shall be subject to rules and regulations 
issued by the Speaker.
  (b)(1) He shall devise and implement a system subject to his direction 
and control for complete and unedited audio and visual broadcasting and 
recording of the proceedings of the House of Representatives. He shall 
provide for the distribution of such broadcasts and recordings thereof 
to news media, the storage of audio and video recordings of the 
proceedings, and the closed captioning of the proceedings for hearing-
impaired individuals.
  (2) All television and radio broadcasting stations, networks, 
services, and systems (including cable systems) which are accredited to 
the House radio and television correspondents' galleries, and all radio 
and television correspondents who are accredited to the radio and 
television correspondents' galleries shall be provided access to the 
live coverage of the House of Representatives.
  (3) No coverage made available under this clause nor any recording 
thereof shall be used for any political purpose.
  (4) Coverage made available under this clause shall not be broadcast 
with commercial sponsorship except as part of bona fide news programs 
and public affairs documentary programs. No part of such coverage or any 
recording thereof shall be used in any commercial advertisement.
  (c) He may delegate any of his responsibilities under this clause to 
such legislative entity as he deems appropriate.
  10. There is established in the House of Representatives an office to 
be known as the Office of the Historian of the House of Representatives.

States, and for the true and faithful discharge of the duties of his 
office to the best of his knowledge and ability, and to keep the secrets 
of the House; and each shall appoint all of the employees of his 
department provided for by law. The Clerk, Sergeant-at-Arms, and 
Doorkeeper may be removed by the House or by the Speaker.

                                Rule III

questions of order subject to appeal by any Member.
  2. He shall make and cause to be printed and delivered to each Member, 
or mailed to his address, at the commencement of every regular session 
of Congress, a list of the reports which it is the duty of any officer

and page of the volume of the laws or Journal in which it may be 
contained, and placing under the name of each officer the list of 
reports required of him to be made.
  3. He shall note all questions of order, with the decisions thereon,

have authority to terminate employees; and he may appoint, with the 
approval of the Committee on House Administration, such staff as is 
required to operate the office until a successor is elected. He shall

public hearings, as to the appropriate level of the public debt which 
should be set forth in the concurrent resolution on the budget referred 
to in such sentence and serve as the basis for an increase or decrease 
in the statutory limit on such debt under the procedures provided by

subject listed under any standing committee named in clause 1 shall be 
referred by the Speaker in accordance with the provisions of this 
clause.
  (b) Every referral of any matter under paragraph (a) shall be made in 
such manner as to assure to the maximum extent feasible that each 
committee which has jurisdiction under clause 1 over the subject matter 
of any provision thereof will have responsibility for considering such 
provision and reporting to the House with respect thereto. Any 
precedents, rulings, and procedures in effect prior to the Ninety-Fourth 
Congress shall be applied with respect to referrals under this clause 
only to the extent that they will contribute to the achievement of the 
objectives of this clause.
  (c) In carrying out paragraphs (a) and (b) with respect to any matter, 
the Speaker may refer the matter simultaneously to two or more 
committees for concurrent consideration or for consideration in sequence 
(subject to appropriate time limitations in the case of any committee),

subjects and jurisdictions) and refer each such part to a different 
committee, or refer the matter to a special ad hoc committee appointed 
by the Speaker with the approval of the House (from the members of the 
committees having legislative jurisdiction) for the specific purpose of 
considering that matter and reporting to the House thereon, or make such 
other provision as may be considered appropriate.

Conduct shall be from the majority party and one-half shall be from the 
minority party. No Member shall serve as a member of the Committee on

  (b) Membership on standing committees during the course of a Congress 
shall be contingent on continuing membership in the party caucus or 
conference that nominated Members for election to such committees. 
Should a Member cease to be a member of a particular party caucus or 
conference, said Member shall automatically cease to be a member of a 
standing committee to which he was elected on the basis of nomination by 
that caucus or conference. The chairman of the relevant party caucus or 
conference shall notify the Speaker whenever a Member ceases to be a 
member of a party caucus or conference and the Speaker shall notify the 
chairman of each standing committee on which said Member serves, that in 
accord with this rule, the Member's election to such committee is 
automatically vacated.
  (c) One of the members of each standing committee shall be elected by 
the House, from nominations submitted by the majority party caucus, at 
the commencement of each Congress, as chairman thereof. In the temporary 
absence of the chairman, the member next in rank in the order named in 
the election of the committee, and so on, as often as the case shall 
happen, shall act as chairman; and in case of a permanent vacancy in the 
chairmanship of any such committee the House shall elect another 
chairman.

primarily responsible for the legislation and shall, to the fullest 
extent feasible, include the principal proponents of the major 
provisions of the bill as it passed the House.
  (g)   Membership on select and joint committees during the course of a 
Congress shall be contingent on continuing membership in the party 
caucus or conference the Member was a member of at the time of his 
appointment to a select or joint committee. Should a Member cease to be 
a member of that caucus or conference, said Member shall automatically 
cease to be a member of any select or joint committee to which he is 
assigned. The chairman of the relevant party caucus or conference shall 
notify the Speaker whenever a Member ceases to be a member of a party 
caucus or conference and the Speaker shall notify the chairman of each 
select or joint committee on which said Member serves, that in accord 
with this rule, the Member's appointment to such committee is 
automatically vacated.
  (h) The Speaker may appoint the Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico 
and Delegates to the House to any select committee and to any conference 
committee that is considering legislation reported from a committee on 
which they serve.
  (i) There shall be in the House the permanent Select Committee on 
Aging, which shall not have legislative jurisdiction but which shall 
have jurisdiction--
    (1) to conduct a continuing comprehensive study and review of the 
  problems of the older American, including but not limited to income 
  maintenance, housing, health (including medical research), welfare,

  knowledge, skills, special aptitudes, and abilities of older Ameri-

[[Page 3206]]

  cans to contribute to a better quality of life for all Americans;
    (3) to develop policies that would encourage the coordination of 
  both governmental and private programs designed to deal with problems 
  of aging; and
    (4) to review any recommendations made by the President or by the 
  White House Conference on Aging relating to programs or policies 
  affecting older Americans.

proxy only for motions to recess, adjourn or other procedural matters. 
Each proxy to be effective shall be signed by the member assigning his

Open meetings and hearings
 (g)(1) Each meeting for the transaction of business, including 
the markup of legislation, of each standing committee or subcommittee 
thereof shall be open to the public except when the committee or 
subcommittee, in open session and with a majority present, determines by 
roll call vote that all or part of the remainder of the meeting on that 
day shall be closed to the public: Provided, however, That no person 
other than members of the committee and such congressional staff and 
such departmental representatives as they may authorize shall be present

personnel matters.
  (2) Each hearing conducted by each committee or subcommittee thereof 
shall be open to the public except when the committee or subcommittee,

other matters to be considered would endanger the national security or 
would violate any law or rule of the House of Representatives. 
Notwithstanding the requirements of the preceding sentence, a majority 
of those present, there being in attendance the requisite number 
required under the rules of the committee to be present for the purpose 
of taking testimony,

Rule XI.

No Member may be excluded from nonparticipatory attendance at any

Representatives shall by majority vote authorize a particular committee 
or subcommittee, for purposes of a particular series of hearings on a 
particular article of legislation or on a particular subject of

  (5) No point of order shall lie with respect to any measure reported 
by any committee on the ground that hearings on such measure were not

from the hearings; and the committee may cite the offender to the House 
for contempt.
  (5) Whenever it is asserted that the evidence or testimony at an 
investigatory hearing may tend to defame, degrade, or incriminate any 
person,
    (A) such testimony or evidence shall be presented in executive 
  session, notwithstanding the provisions of clause 2(g)(2) of this 
  Rule, if by a majority of those present, there being in attendance the 
  requisite number required under the rules of the committee to be 
  present for the purpose of taking testimony, the committee determines 
  that such evidence or testimony may tend to defame, degrade, or 
  incriminate any person; and
    (B) the committee shall proceed to receive such testimony in open 
  session only if a majority of the members of the committee, a majority 
  being present, determine that such evidence or testimony will not tend

voluntarily to appear as a witness, and receive and dispose of requests

request, signed by a majority of the members of the committee, for the 
reporting of that measure. Upon the filing of any such request, the

or decrease in revenues or tax expenditures; (C) the estimate and 
comparison prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget Office 
under section 403 of such Act, separately set out and clearly 
identified, whenever the Director (if timely submitted prior to the

committee; and (D) a summary of the oversight findings and 
recommendations made by the Committee on Government Operations under 
clause 4(c)(2) of Rule X separately set out and clearly identified 
whenever such findings and recommendations have been submitted to the 
legislative committee in a timely fashion to allow an opportunity to 
consider such findings and recommendations during the committee's 
deliberations on the measure.
  (4) Each report of a committee on each bill or joint resolution of a 
public character reported by such committee shall contain a detailed 
analytical statement as to whether the enactment of such bill or joint 
resolution into law may have an inflationary impact on prices and costs 
in the operation of the national economy.
  (5) If, at the time of approval of any measure or matter by any 
committee, other than the Committee on Rules, any member of the 
committee gives notice of intention to file supplemental, minority, or 
additional views, that member shall be entitled to not less than three 
calendar days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays) in 
which to file such views, in writing and signed by that member, with the 
clerk of the committee. All such views so filed by one or more members 
of the committee shall be included within, and shall be a part of, the 
report filed by the committee with respect to that measure or matter. 
The report of the committee upon that measure or matter shall be printed

    (B) shall bear upon its cover a recital that any such supplemental, 
  minority, or additional views (and any material submitted under 
  subdivisions (C) and (D) of subparagraph (3)) are included as part of 
  the report.

This subparagraph does not preclude--
    (i) the immediate filing or printing of a committee print unless 
  timely request for the opportunity to file supplemental, minority, or 
  additional views has been made as provided by this subparagraph; or
    (ii) the filing by any such committee of any supplemental report 
  upon any measure or matter which may be required for the correction of 
  any technical error in a previous report made by that committee upon

committee upon that measure or matter has been available to the Members 
of the House, or as provided by section 305(a)(1) of the Congressional 
Budget Act of 1974 in the case of a concurrent resolution on the budget: 
Provided, however, That it shall always be in order to call up for 
consideration, notwithstanding the provisions of clause 4(b), Rule XI, a 
report from the Committee on Rules specifically providing for the 
consideration of a reported measure or matter notwithstanding this 
restriction. If hearings have been held on any such measure or matter so 
reported, the committee reporting the measure or matter shall make every 
reasonable effort to have such hearings printed and available for 
distribution to the Members of the House prior to the consideration of 
such measure or matter in the House. This subparagraph shall not apply

corporation, or instrumentality of the Federal Government or the 
government of the District of Columbia.
  (7) If, within seven calendar days after a measure has, by resolution, 
been made in order for consideration by the House, no motion has been 
offered that the House consider that measure, any member of the 
committee which reported that measure may be recognized in the 
discretion of the Speaker to offer a motion that the House shall 
consider that measure, if that committee has duly authorized that member 
to offer that motion.

under clause 5 of Rule X), any committee, or any subcommittee thereof, 
is authorized (subject to subparagraph (2)(A) of this paragraph)--
    (A) to sit and act at such times and places within the United 
  States, whether the House is in session, has recessed, or has 
  adjourned, and to hold such hearings, and

such rules and under such limitations as the committee may prescribe. 
Authorized subpoenas shall be signed by the chairman of the committee or 
by any member designated by the committee.
  (B) Compliance with any subpoena issued by a committee or subcommittee 
under subparagraph (1)(B) may be enforced only as authorized or directed 
by the House.

expenses incurred in the committee's activities; however, local 
currencies owned by the United States shall be made available to the 
committee and its employees engaged in carrying out their official 
duties outside the United States, its territories or possessions. No 
appropriated funds, including those authorized under clause 5, shall be 
expended for the purpose of defraying expenses of members of the 
committee or its employees in any country where local currencies are 
available for this purpose; and the following conditions shall apply 
with respect to travel outside the United States or its territories or

    (A) No member or employee of the committee shall receive or expend 
  local currencies for subsistence in any country for any day at a rate 
  in excess of the maximum per diem set forth in applicable Federal law, 
  or if the Member or employee is reimbursed for any expenses for such 
  day, then the lesser of the per diem or the actual, unreimbursed 
  expenses (other than for transportation) incurred by the Member or 
  employee during that day.
    (B) Each member or employee of the committee shall make to the 
  chairman of the committee an itemized report showing the dates each

  purpose and shall summarize in these categories the total foreign 
  currencies and/or appropriated funds expended. All such individual 
  reports shall be filed no later than sixty days following the 
  completion of travel with the chairman of the committee for use in 
  complying with reporting requirements in applicable Federal law and 
  shall be open for public inspection.
  (2) In carrying out the committee's activities outside of the United 
States in any country where local currencies are unavailable, a member 
or employee of the committee may not receive reimbursement for expenses 
(other than for transportation) in excess of the maximum per diem set

set forth in subparagraphs (2) and (3) shall also apply to travel

    (A) the date of the general election of Members in which the Member 
  has not been elected to the succeeding Congress; or
    (B) in the case of a Member who is not a candidate in such general 
  election, the earlier of the date of such general election or the 
  adjournment sine die of the last regular session of the Congress.

                   Broadcasting of Committee Hearings

  3. (a) It is the purpose of this clause to provide a means, in 
conformity with acceptable standards of dignity, propriety, and decorum, 
by which committee hearings, or committee meetings, which are open to 
the public may be covered, by television broadcast, radio broadcast, and 
still photography, or by any of such methods of coverage--
    (1) for the education, enlightenment, and information of the general 
  public, on the basis of accurate and impartial news coverage, 
  regarding the operations, procedures, and practices of the House as a 
  legislative and representative body and regarding the measures, public 
  issues, and other matters before the House and its committees, the 
  consideration thereof, and the action taken thereon; and
    (2) for the development of the perspective and understanding of the 
  general public with respect to the role and function of the House 
  under the Constitution of the United States as an organ of the Federal 
  Government.
  (b) In addition, it is the intent of this clause that radio and 
television tapes and television film of any coverage under this clause 
shall not be used, or made available for use, as partisan political 
campaign material to promote or oppose the candidacy of any person for 
elective public office.
  (c) It is, further, the intent of this clause that the general conduct 
of each meeting (whether of a hearing or otherwise) covered, under 
authority of this clause, by television broadcast, radio broadcast, and 
still photography, or by any of such methods of coverage, and the 
personal behavior of the committee members and staff, other Government 
officials and personnel, witnesses, television, radio, and press media 
personnel, and the general public at the hearing or other meeting shall 
be in strict conformity with and observance of the acceptable standards 
of dignity, propriety, courtesy, and decorum traditionally observed by 
the House in its operations and shall not be such as to--
    (1) distort the objects and purposes of the hearing or other meeting 
  or the activities of committee members in connection with that hearing 
  or meeting or in connection with the general work of the committee or 
  of the House; or
    (2) cast discredit or dishonor on the House, the committee, or any 
  Member or bring the House, the committee, or any Member into 
  disrepute.
  (d) The coverage of committee hearings and meetings by television 
broadcast, radio broadcast, or still photography is a privilege made 
available by the House and shall be permitted and conducted only in 
strict conformity with the purposes, provisions, and requirements of 
this clause.
  (e) Whenever any hearing or meeting conducted by any committee of the 
House is open to the public, that committee may permit, by majority vote 
of the committee, that hearing or meeting to be covered, in whole or in 
part, by television broadcast, radio broadcast, and still photography, 
or by any of such methods of coverage, but only under such written rules 
as the committee may adopt in accordance with the purposes, provisions, 
and requirements of this clause: Provided, however, Each committee or 
subcommittee chairman shall determine, in his discretion, the number of 
television and still cameras permitted in a hearing or meeting room.
  (f) The written rules which may be adopted by a committee under 
paragraph (e) of this clause shall contain provisions to the following 
effect:
    (1) If the television or radio coverage of the hearing or meeting is 
  to be presented to the public as live coverage, that coverage shall be 
  conducted and presented without commercial sponsorship.
    (2) No witness served with a subpoena by the committee shall be 
  required against his or her will to be photographed at any hearing or 
  to give evidence or testimony while the

[[Page 3210]]

  broadcasting of that hearing, by radio or television, is being 
  conducted. At the request of any such witness who does not wish to be 
  subjected to radio, television, or still photography coverage, all 
  lenses shall be covered and all microphones used for coverage turned 
  off. This subparagraph is supplementary to clause 2(k)(5) of this 
  rule, relating to the protection of the rights of witnesses.
    (3) The allocation among the television media of the positions of 
  the number of television cameras permitted by a committee or 
  subcommittee chairman in a hearing or meeting room shall be in 
  accordance with fair and equitable procedures devised by the Executive 
  Committee of the Radio and Television Correspondents' Galleries.
    (4) Television cameras shall be placed so as not to obstruct in any 
  way the space between any witness giving evidence or testimony and any 
  member of the committee or the visibility of that witness and that 
  member to each other.
    (5) Television cameras shall operate from fixed positions but shall 
  not be placed in positions which obstruct unnecessarily the coverage 
  of the hearing or meeting by the other media.
    (6) Equipment necessary for coverage by the television and radio 
  media shall not be installed in, or removed from, the hearing or 
  meeting room while the committee is in session.

  be used in providing any method of coverage of the hearing or meeting, 
  except that the television media may install additional lighting in 
  the hearing or meeting room, without cost to the Government, in order 
  to raise the ambient lighting level in the hearing or meeting room to 
  the lowest level necessary to provide adequate television coverage of 
  the hearing or meeting at the then current state of the art of 
  television coverage.
    (8) In the allocation of the number of still photographers permitted 
  by a committee or subcommittee chairman in a hearing or meeting room, 
  preference shall be given to photographers from Associated Press 
  Photos and United Press International Newspictures. If requests are 
  made by more of the media than will be permitted by a committee or 
  subcommittee chairman for coverage of the hearing or meeting by still 
  photography, that coverage shall be made on the basis of a fair and 
  equitable pool arrangement devised by the Standing Committee of Press 
  Photographers.
    (9) Photographers shall not position themselves, at any time during 
  the course of the hearing or meeting, between the witness table and 
  the members of the committee.

                    Privileged Reports and Amendments

  4. (a) The following committees shall have leave to report at any time 
on the matters herein stated, namely: The Committee on Appropriations--
on general appropriation bills and on joint resolutions continuing 
appropriations for a fiscal year if reported after September 15 
preceding the beginning of such fiscal year; the Committee on the 
Budget--on the matters required to be reported by such committee under 
Titles III and IV of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974; the Committee 
on House Administration--on enrolled bills, contested elections, and all 
matters referred to it of printing for the use of the House or the two 
Houses, and on all matters of expenditure of the contingent fund of the 
House, and on all matters relating to preservation and availability of 
noncurrent records of the House under rule XXXVI; the Committee on 
Rules--on rules, joint rules, and the order of business; and the 
Committee on Standards of Official Conduct--on resolutions recommending 
action by the House of Representatives with respect to an individual 
Member, officer, or employee of the House of Representatives as a result 
of any investigation by the committee relating to the official conduct 
of such Member, officer, or employee of the House of Representatives.
  (b) It shall always be in order to call up for consideration a report 
from the Committee on Rules on a rule, joint rule, or the order of 
business (except it shall not be called up for consideration on the same 
day it is presented to the House, unless so determined by a vote of not 
less than two-thirds of the Members voting, but this provision shall not 
apply during the last three days of the session), and, pending the 
consideration thereof, the Speaker may entertain one motion that the 
House adjourn; but after the result is announced the Speaker shall not 
entertain any other dilatory motion until the report shall have been 
fully disposed of. The Committee on Rules shall not report any rule or 
order which provides that business under clause 7 of Rule XXIV shall be 
set aside by a vote of less than two-thirds of the Members present; nor 
shall it report any rule or order which would prevent the motion to 
recommit from being made as provided in clause 4 of Rule XVI.
  (c) The Committee on Rules shall present to the House reports 
concerning rules, joint rules, and order of business, within three 
legislative days of the time when the bill or resolution involved is 
ordered reported by the committee. If any such rule or order is not 
considered immediately, it shall be referred to the calendar and, if not 
called up by the Member making the report within seven legislative days 
thereafter, any member of the Rules Committee may call it up as a 
question of privilege (but only on the day after the calendar day on 
which such Member announces to the House his intention to do so) and the 
Speaker shall recognize any member of the Rules Committee seeking 
recognition for that purpose. If the Committee on Rules makes an adverse 
report on any resolution pending before the committee, providing for an 
order of business for the consideration by the House of any public bill 
or joint resolution, on days when it shall be in order to call up 
motions to discharge committees it shall be in order for any Member of 
the House to call up for consideration by the House such adverse report, 
and it shall be in order to move the adoption by the House of such 
resolution adversely reported notwithstanding the adverse report of the 
Committee on Rules, and the Speaker shall recognize the Member seeking 
recognition for that purpose as a question of the highest privilege.
  (d) Whenever the Committee on Rules reports a resolution repealing or 
amending any of the Rules of the House of Representatives or part 
thereof it shall include in its report or in an accompanying document--
    (1) the text of any part of the Rules of the House of 
  Representatives which is proposed to be repealed; and
    (2) a comparative print of any part of the resolution making such an 
  amendment and any part of the Rules of the House of Representatives to 
  be amended, showing by an appropriate typographical device the 
  omissions and insertions proposed to be made.

                           Committee Expenses

  5. (a) Whenever any committee, commission or other entity (except the 
Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on the Budget) is to be 
granted authorization for the payment, from the contingent fund of the 
House, of its expenses in any year, other than those expenses to be paid 
from appropriations provided by statute, such authorization initially 
shall be procured by one primary expense resolution for the committee, 
commission or other entity providing funds for the payment of the 
expenses of the committee, commission or other entity for that year from 
the contingent fund of the House. Any such primary expense resolution 
reported to the House shall not be considered in the House unless a 
printed

[[Page 3211]]

report on that resolution has been available to the Members of the House 
for at least one calendar day prior to the consideration of that 
resolution in the House. Such report shall, for the information of the 
House--
    (1) state the total amount of the funds to be provided to the 
  committee, commission or other entity under the primary expense 
  resolution for all anticipated activities and programs of the 
  committee, commission or other entity; and
    (2) to the extent practicable, contain such general statements 
  regarding the estimated foreseeable expenditures for the respective 
  anticipated activities and programs of the committee, commission or 
  other entity as may be appropriate to provide the House with basic 
  estimates with respect to the expenditure generally of the funds to be 
  provided to the committee, commission or other entity under the 
  primary expense resolution.
  (b) After the date of adoption by the House of any such primary 
expense resolution for any such committee, commission or other entity 
for any year, authorization for the payment from the contingent fund of 
additional expenses of such committee, commission or other entity in 
that year, other than those expenses to be paid from appropriations 
provided by statute, may be procured by one or more supplemental expense 
resolutions for that committee, commission or other entity as 
necesssary. Any such supplemental expense resolution reported to the 
House shall not be considered in the House unless a printed report on 
that resolution has been available to the Members of the House for at 
least one calendar day prior to the consideration of that resolution in 
the House. Such report shall, for the information of the House--
    (1) state the total amount of additional funds to be provided to the 
  committee, commission or other entity under the supplemental expense 
  resolution and the purpose or purposes for which those additional 
  funds are to be used by the committee, commission or other entity; and
    (2) state the reason or reasons for the failure to procure the 
  additional funds for the committee, commission or other entity by 
  means of the primary expense resolution.
  (c) The preceding provisions of this clause do not apply to--
    (1) any resolution providing for the payment from the contingent 
  fund of the House of sums necessary to pay compensation for staff 
  services performed for, or to pay other expenses of, any committee, 
  commission or other entity at any time from and after the beginning of 
  any year and before the date of adoption by the House of the primary 
  expense resolution providing funds to pay the expenses of that 
  committee, commission or other entity for that year; or
    (2) any resolution providing in any Congress, for all of the 
  standing committees of the House, additional office equipment, airmail 
  and special delivery postage stamps, supplies, staff personnel, or any

                            Committee Staffs

  6. (a)(1) Subject to subparagraph (2) of this paragraph and paragraph 
(f) of this clause, each standing committee may appoint, by majority 
vote of the committee, not more than eighteen professional staff 
members. Each professional staff member appointed under this 
subparagraph shall be assigned to the chairman and the ranking minority 
party member of such committee, as the committee considers advisable.
  (2) Subject to paragraph (f) of this clause, whenever a majority of 
the minority party members of a standing committee (except the Committee 
on Standards of Official Conduct and the Permanent Select Committee on 
Intelligence) so request, not more than six persons may be selected, by 
majority vote of the minority party members, for appointment by the 
committee as professional staff members from among the number authorized 
by subparagraph (1) of this paragraph. The committee shall appoint any 
persons so selected whose character and qualifications are acceptable to 
a majority of the committee. If the committee determines that the 
character and qualifications of any person so selected are unacceptable 
to the committee, a majority of the minority party members may select 
other persons for appointment by the committee to the professional staff 
until such appointment is made. Each professional staff member appointed 
under this subparagraph shall be assigned to such committee business as 
the minority party members of the committee consider advisable.
  (3) The professional staff members of each standing committee--
    (A) shall not engage in any work other than committee business 
  during congressional working hours; and
    (B) shall not be assigned any duties other than those pertaining to 
  committee business.
  (4) Services of the professional staff members of each standing 
committee may be terminated by majority vote of the committee.
  (5) The foregoing provisions of this paragraph do not apply to the 
Committee on Appropriations and to the Committee on the Budget and the 
provisions of subparagraphs (3) (B) and (C) do not apply to the 
Committee on Rules.
  (b)(1) The clerical staff of each standing committee shall consist of 
not more than twelve clerks, to be attached to the office of the 
chairman, to the ranking minority party members, and to the professional 
staff, as the committee considers advisable. Subject to subparagraph (2) 
of this paragraph and paragraph (f) of this clause, the clerical staff 
shall be appointed by majority vote of the committee. Except as provided 
by subparagraph (2) of this paragraph the clerical staff shall handle 
committee correspondence and stenographic work both for the committee 
staff and for the chairman and the ranking minority party member on 
matters related to committee work.
  (2) Subject to paragraph (f) of this clause, whenever a majority of 
the minority party members of a standing committee (except the Committee 
on Standards of Official Conduct and the Permanent Select Committee on 
Intelligence) so request, four persons may be selected, by majority vote 
of the minority party members, for appointment by the committee to 
positions on the clerical staff from among the number of clerks 
authorized by subparagraph (1) of this paragraph. The committee shall 
appoint to those positions any person so selected whose character and 
qualifications are acceptable to a majority of the committee. If the 
committee determines that the character and qualifications of any person 
so selected are unacceptable to the committee, a majority of the 
minority party members, may select other persons for appointment by the 
committee to the position involved on the clerical staff until such 
appointment is made. Each clerk appointed under this subparagraph shall 
handle committee correspondence and stenographic work for the minority 
party members of the committee and for any members of the professional 
staff appointed under subparagraph (2) of paragraph (a) of this clause 
on matters related to committee work.
  (3) Services of the clerical staff members of each standing committee 
may be terminated by majority vote of the committee.
  (4) The foregoing provisions of this paragraph do not apply to the 
Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on the Budget.
  (c) Each employee on the professional, clerical and investigating 
staff of each standing committee shall be entitled to pay at a single 
gross per annum rate, to be fixed by the chairman, which does not exceed 
the maximum rate of pay, as in effect from time to time, under 
applicable provisions of law.
  (d) Subject to appropriations hereby authorized, the Committee on 
Appropriations and the Committee on the Budget may appoint such staff, 
in addition to the clerk thereof and assistants for the minority, as it 
determines by majority vote to be necessary, such personnel, other than 
minority assistants, to possess such qualifications as the committee may 
prescribe.
  (e) No committee shall appoint to its staff any experts or other 
personnel detailed or assigned from any department or agency of the 
Government, except with the written permission of the Committee on House 
Administration.
  (f) If a request for the appointment of a minority professional staff 
member under paragraph (a), or a minority clerical staff member under 
paragraph (b), is made when no vacancy exists to which that appointment 
may be made, the committee nevertheless shall appoint, under paragraph 
(a) or paragraph (b), as applicable, the person selected by the minority 
and acceptable to the committee. The person so appointed shall serve as 
an additional member of the professional staff or the clerical staff, as 
the case may be, of the committee, and shall be paid from the contingent 
fund, until such a vacancy (other than a vacancy in the position of head 
of the professional staff, by whatever title designated) occurs, at 
which time that person shall be deemed to have been appointed to that 
vacancy. If such vacancy occurs on the professional staff when seven or 
more persons have been so appointed who are eligible to fill that 
vacancy, a majority of the minority party members shall designate which 
of those persons shall fill that vacancy.
  (g) Each staff member appointed pursuant to a request by minority 
party members under paragraph (a) or (b) of this clause, and each staff 
member appointed to assist minority party members of a committee 
pursuant to an expense resolution described in paragraph (a) or (b) of 
clause 5, shall be accorded equitable treatment with respect to the 
fixing of his or her rate of pay, the assignment to him or her of work 
facilities, and the accessibility to him or her of committee records.
  (h) Paragraphs (a) and (b) of this clause shall not be construed to 
authorize the appointment of additional professional or clerical staff 
members of a committee pursuant to a request under either of such 
paragraphs by the minority party members of that committee if six or 
more professional staff members or four or more clerical staff members, 
provided for in paragraph (a)(1) or paragraph (b)(1) of this clause, as 
the case may be, who are satisfactory to a majority of the minority 
party members, are otherwise assigned to assist the minority party 
members.
  (i) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a)(2) and (b)(2), a committee may 
employ nonpartisan staff, in lieu of or in addition to committee staff 
designated exclusively for the majority or minority party, upon an 
affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the majority party and 
a majority of the members of the minority party.

[[Page 3213]]

                                Rule XIII

                   calendars and reports of committees

  l. There shall be three calendars to which all business reported from 
committees shall be referred, viz:
  First. A Calendar of the Committee of the Whole House on the state of 
the Union, to which shall be referred bills raising revenue, general 
appropriation bills, and bills of a public character directly or 
indirectly appropriating money or property.
  Second. A House Calendar, to which shall be referred all bills of a 
public character not raising revenue nor directly or indirectly 
appropriating money or property.
  Third. A Calendar of the Commitee of the Whole House, to which shall 
be referred all bills of a private character.
  2. All reports of committees, except as provided in clause 4(a) of 
Rule XI, together with the views of the minority, shall be delivered to 
the Clerk for printing and reference to the proper calendar under the 
direction of the Speaker, in accordance with the foregoing clause, and 
the titles or subject thereof shall be entered on the Journal and 
printed in the Record: Provided, That bills reported adversely shall be 
laid on the table, unless the committee reporting a bill, at the time, 
or any Member within three days thereafter, shall request its reference 
to the calendar, when it shall be referred, as provided in clause 1 of 
this rule.
  3. Whenever a committee reports a bill or a joint resolution repealing 
or amending any statute or part thereof it shall include in its report 
or in an accompanying document--
    (1) The text of the statute or part thereof which is proposed to be 
  repealed; and
    (2) A comparative print of that part of the bill or joint resolution 
  making the amendment and of the statute or part thereof proposed to be 
  amended, showing by stricken-through type and italic, parallel 
  columns, or other appropriate typographical devices the omissions and 
  insertions proposed to be made: Provided, however, That if a committee 
  reports such a bill or joint resolution with amendments or an 
  amendment in the nature of a substitute for the entire bill, such 
  report shall include a comparative print showing any changes in 
  existing law proposed by the amendments or substitute instead of as in 
  the bill as introduced.
  4. After a bill has been favorably reported and shall be upon either 
the House or Union Calendar any Member may file with the Clerk a notice 
that he desires such bill placed upon a special calendar to be known as 
the ``Consent Calendar''. On the first and third Mondays of each month 
immediately after the reading of the Journal, the Speaker shall direct 
the Clerk to call the bills in numerical order, which have been for 
three legislative days upon the ``Consent Calendar''. Should objection 
be made to the consideration of any bill so called it shall be carried 
over on the calendar without prejudice to the next day when the 
``Consent Calendar'' is again called, and if objected to by three or 
more Members it shall immediately be stricken from the calendar, and 
shall not thereafter during the same session of that Congress be placed 
again thereon: Provided, That no bill shall be called twice on the same 
legislative day.
  5. There shall also be a Calendar of Motions to Discharge Committees, 
as provided in clause 4 of Rule XXVII.
  6. Calendars shall be printed daily.
  7. (a) The report accompanying each bill or joint resolution of a 
public character reported by any committee shall contain--
    (1) an estimate, made by such committee, of the costs which would be 
  incurred in carrying out such bill or joint resolution in the fiscal 
  year in which it is reported, and in each of the five fiscal years 
  following such fiscal year (or for the authorized duration of any 
  program authorized by such bill or joint resolution, if less than five 
  years); and
    (2) a comparison of the estimate of costs described in subparagraph 
  (1) of this paragraph made by such committee with any estimate of such 
  costs made by any Government agency and submitted to such committee.
  (b) It shall not be in order to consider any such bill or joint 
resolution in the House if the report of the committee which reported 
that bill or joint resolution does not comply with paragraph (a) of this 
clause.
  (c) For the purposes of subparagraph (2) of paragraph (a) of this 
clause, a Government agency includes any department, agency, 
establishment, wholly owned Government corporation, or instrumentality 
of the Federal Government or the government of the District of Columbia.
  (d) The preceding provisions of this clause do not apply to the 
Committee on Appropriations, the Committee on House Administration, the 
Committee on Rules, and the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, 
and do not apply where a cost estimate and comparison prepared by the 
Director of the Congressional Budget Office under section 403 of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 has been timely submitted prior to the 
filing of the report and included in the report pursuant to clause 
2(l)(3)(C) of Rule XI.

                                Rule XIV

                          of decorum and debate

  1. When any Member desires to speak or deliver any matter to the 
House, he shall rise and respectfully address himself to ``Mr. 
Speaker'', and, on being recognized, may address the House from any 
place on the floor or from the Clerk's desk, and shall confine himself 
to the question under debate, avoiding personality. Debate may include 
references to actions taken by the Senate or by committees thereof which 
are a matter of public record, references to the pendency or sponsorship 
in the Senate of bills, resolutions, and amendments, factual 
descriptions relating to Senate action or inaction concerning a measure 
then under debate in the House, and quotations from Senate proceedings 
on a measure then under debate in the House and which are relevant to 
the making of legislative history establishing the meaning of that 
measure, but may not include characterizations of Senate action or 
inaction, other references to individual Members of the Senate, or other 
quotations from Senate proceedings.
  2. When two or more Members rise at once, the Speaker shall name the 
Member who is first to speak; and no Member shall occupy more than one 
hour in debate on any question in the House or in committee, except as 
further provided in this rule.
  3. The Member reporting the measure under consideration from a 
committee may open and close, where general debate has been had thereon; 
and if it shall extend beyond one day, he shall be entitled to one hour 
to close, notwithstanding he may have used an hour in opening.
  4. If any Member, in speaking or otherwise, transgress the rules of 
the House, the Speaker shall, or any Member may, call him to order; in 
which case he shall immediately sit down, unless permitted, on motion of 
another Member, to explain, and the House shall, if appealed to, decide 
on the case without debate; if the decision is in favor of the Member 
called to order, he shall be at liberty to proceed, but not otherwise; 
and, if the case requires it, he shall be liable to censure or such 
punishment as the House may deem proper.
  5. If a Member is called to order for words spoken in debate, the 
Member calling him to order shall indicate the words excepted to, and 
they shall be taken down in writing at the Clerk's desk and read aloud 
to the House; but he shall not be held to answer, nor be subject to the 
censure of the House therefor, if further debate or other business has 
intervened.
  6. No Member shall speak more than once to the same question without 
leave of the House, unless he be the mover, proposer, or introducer of 
the matter pending, in which case he shall be permitted to speak in 
reply, but not until every Member choosing to speak shall have spoken.
  7. While the Speaker is putting a question or addressing the House no 
Member shall walk out of or across the hall, nor, when a Member is 
speaking, pass between him and the Chair; and during the session of the 
House no Member shall wear his hat, or remain by the Clerk's desk during 
the call of the roll or the counting of ballots or smoke upon the floor 
of the House; and the Sergeant-at-Arms and Doorkeeper are charged with 
the strict enforcement of this clause. Neither shall any person be 
allowed to smoke upon the floor of the House at any time.

[[Page 3214]]

  8. It shall not be in order for any Member to introduce to or to bring 
to the attention of the House during its sessions any occupant in the 
galleries of the House; nor may the Speaker entertain a request for the 
suspension of this rule by unanimous consent or otherwise.

                                 Rule XV

                     on calls of the roll and house

  1. Subject to clause 5 of this Rule, upon every roll call the names of 
the Members shall be called alphabetically by surname, except when two 
or more have the same surname, in which case the name of the State shall 
be added; and if there be two such Members from the same State, the 
whole name shall be called, and after the roll has been once called, the 
Clerk shall call in their alphabetical order the names of those not 
voting. Members appearing after the second call, but before the result 
is announced, may vote or announce a pair.
  2. (a) In the absence of a quorum, fifteen Members, including the 
Speaker, if there is one, shall be authorized to compel the attendance 
of absent Members; and those for whom no sufficient excuse is made may, 
by order of a majority of those present, subject to clause 6(e)(2) of 
this rule be sent for and arrested, wherever they may be found, by 
officers to be appointed by the Sergeant-at-Arms for that purpose, and 
their attendance secured and retained; and the House shall determine 
upon what condition they shall be discharged. Members who voluntarily 
appear shall, unless the House otherwise direct, be immediately admitted 
to the Hall of the House, and they shall report their names to the Clerk 
to be entered upon the Journal as present.
  (b) Subject to clause 5 of this rule, when a call of the House in the 
absence of a quorum is ordered, the Speaker shall name one or more 
clerks to tell the Members who are present. The names of those present 
shall be recorded by such clerks, and shall be entered in the Journal 
and the absentees noted, but the doors shall not be closed except when 
so ordered by the Speaker. Members shall have not less than fifteen 
minutes from the ordering of a call of the House to have their presence 
recorded.
  3. On the demand of any Member, or at the suggestion of the Speaker, 
the names of Members sufficient to make a quorum in the Hall of the 
House who do not vote shall be noted by the Clerk and recorded in the 
Journal, and reported to the Speaker with the names of the Members 
voting, and be counted and announced in determining the presence of a 
quorum to do business.
  4. Subject to clause 5 of this rule, whenever a quorum fails to vote 
on any question, and a quorum is not present and objection is made for 
that cause, unless the House shall adjourn there shall be a call of the 
House, and the Sergeant-at-Arms shall forthwith proceed to bring in 
absent Members, and the yeas and nays on the pending question shall at 
the same time be considered as ordered. The Clerk shall call the roll, 
and each Member as he answers to his name may vote on the pending 
question, and, after the rollcall is completed, each Member arrested 
shall be brought by the Sergeant-at-Arms before the House, whereupon he 
shall be noted as present, discharged from arrest and given an 
opportunity to vote and his vote shall be recorded. If those voting on 
the question and those who are present and decline to vote shall 
together make a majority of the House, the Speaker shall declare that a 
quorum is constituted, and the pending question shall be decided as the 
majority of those voting shall appear. And thereupon further proceedings 
under the call shall be considered as dispensed with. At any time after 
the roll call has been completed, the Speaker may entertain a motion to 
adjourn, if seconded by a majority of those present, to be ascertained 
by actual count by the Speaker; and if the House adjourns, all 
proceedings under this section shall be vacated.
  5. Unless, in his discretion, the Speaker orders the calling of the 
names of Members in the manner provided for under the preceding 
provisions of this rule, upon any roll call or quorum call the names of 
such Members voting or present shall be recorded by electronic device. 
In any such case, the Clerk shall enter in the Journal and publish in 
the Congressional Record, in alphabetical order in each category, a list 
of names of those Members recorded as voting in the affirmative, of 
those Members recorded as voting in the negative, and of those Members 
answering present, as the case may be, as if their names had been called 
in the manner provided for under such preceding provisions. Members 
shall have not less than fifteen minutes from the ordering of the roll 
call or quorum call to have their vote or presence recorded. The Speaker 
may, in his discretion, announce after a roll call vote has been ordered 
on an amendment reported from the Committee of the Whole House on the 
state of the Union, that he may reduce to not less than five minutes the 
period of time in which a roll call vote, if ordered, will be taken by 
electronic device on any other subsequent amendment to that bill or 
resolution reported from the Committee of the Whole. In like manner, the 
Speaker may, in his discretion, announce after a roll call vote has been 
ordered on a motion to recommit a bill, resolution or conference report 
thereon, that he may reduce to not less than five minutes the period of 
time in which a roll call vote, if ordered, will be taken by electronic 
device on the question of passage or adoption, as the case may be, on 
such bill, resolution or conference report thereon if the question on 
final passage or adoption follows without intervening business the vote 
on the question of recommital.
  6. (a) It shall not be in order to make or entertain a point of order 
that a quorum is not present--
    (1) before or during the offering of prayer;
    (2) during the administration of the oath of office to the Speaker 
  or Speaker pro tempore or a Member, Delegate, or Resident 
  Commissioner;
    (3) during the reception of any message from the President of the 
  United States or the United States Senate; and
    (4) during the offering, consideration, and disposition of any 
  motion incidental to a call of the House.
  (b) A quorum shall not be required in Committee of the Whole for 
agreement to a motion that the Committee rise.
  (c) After the presence of a quorum is once ascertained on any day on 
which the House is meeting, a point of order of no quorum may not be 
made or entertained--
    (1) during the reading of the Journal;
    (2) during the period after a Committee of the Whole has risen after 
  completing its consideration of a bill or resolution and before the 
  Chairman of the Committee has reported the bill or resolution back to 
  the House; and
    (3) during any period of a legislative day when the Speaker is 
  recognizing Members (including a Delegate or Resident Commissioner) to 
  address the House under special orders, with no measure or matter then 
  under consideration for disposition by the House.
  (d) When the presence of a quorum is ascertained, a further point of 
order that a quorum is not present may not thereafter be made or 
entertained until additional business intervenes. For purposes of this 
paragraph, the term ``business'' does not include any matter, 
proceeding, or period referred to in paragraph (a), (b), or (c) of this 
clause for which a quorum is not required or a point of order of no 
quorum may not be made or entertained.
  (e)(1) Except as provided by subparagraph (2), it shall not be in 
order to make or entertain a point of order that a quorum is not present 
unless the Speaker has put the pending motion or proposition to a vote.
  (2) Notwithstanding subparagraph (1), it shall always be in order for 
a Member to move a call of the House when recognized for that purpose by 
the Speaker, and when a quorum has been established pursuant to a call 
of the House, further proceedings under the call shall be considered as 
dispensed with unless the Speaker, in his discretion, recognizes for a 
motion under clause (2)(a) of this rule or for a motion to dispense with 
further proceedings under the call.

                                Rule XVI

                   on motions, their precedence, etc.

  1. Every motion made to the House and entertained by the Speaker shall 
be reduced to writing on the demand of

[[Page 3215]]

any Member, and shall be entered on the Journal with the name of the 
Member making it, unless it is withdrawn the same day.
  2. When a motion has been made, the Speaker shall state it or (if it 
be in writing) cause it to be read aloud by the Clerk before being 
debated, and it shall then be in possession of the House, but may be 
withdrawn at any time before a decision or amendment.
  3. When any motion or proposition is made, the question, Will the 
House now consider it? shall not be put unless demanded by a Member.
  4. When a question is under debate, no motion shall be received but to 
adjourn, to lay on the table, for the previous question (which motions 
shall be decided without debate), to postpone to a day certain, to 
refer, or to amend, or postpone indefinitely; which several motions 
shall have precedence in the foregoing order; and no motion to postpone 
to a day certain, to refer, or to postpone indefinitely, being decided, 
shall be again allowed on the same day at the same stage of the 
question. After the previous question shall have been ordered on the 
passage of a bill or joint resolution one motion to recommit shall be in 
order, and the Speaker shall give preference in recognition for such 
purpose to a Member who is opposed to the bill or joint resolution. 
However, with respect to any motion to recommit with instructions after 
the previous question shall have been ordered, it always shall be in 
order to debate such motion for ten minutes before the vote is taken on 
that motion, except that on demand of the floor manager for the majority 
it shall be in order to debate such motion for one hour. One half of any 
debate on such motions shall be given to debate by the mover of the 
motion and one half to debate in opposition to the motion. It shall be 
in order at any time during a day for the Speaker, in his discretion, to 
entertain motions that (1) the Speaker be authorized to declare a 
recess; and (2) when the House adjourns it stand adjourned to a day and 
time certain. Either motion shall be of equal privilege with the motion 
to adjourn provided for in this clause and shall be determined without 
debate.
  5. The hour at which the House adjourns shall be entered on the 
Journal.
  6. On the demand of any Member, before the question is put, a question 
shall be divided if it includes propositions so distinct in substance 
that one being taken away a substantive proposition shall remain: 
Provided, That any motion or resolution to elect the members or any 
portion of the members of the standing committees of the House and the 
joint standing committees shall not be divisable, nor shall any 
resolution or order reported by the Committee on Rules, providing a 
special order of business be divisible.
  7. A motion to strike out and insert is indivisible, but a motion to 
strike out being lost shall neither preclude amendment nor motion to 
strike out and insert; and no motion or proposition on a subject 
different from that under consideration shall be admitted under color of 
amendment.
  8. Pending a motion to suspend the rules, the Speaker may entertain 
one motion that the House adjourn; but after the result thereon is 
announced he shall not entertain any other motion until the vote is 
taken on suspension.
  9. At any time after the reading of the Journal it shall be in order, 
by direction of the appropriate committees, to move that the House 
resolve itself into the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the 
Union for the purpose of considering bills raising revenue, or general 
appropriation bills.
  10. No dilatory motion shall be entertained by the Speaker.

                                Rule XVII

                            previous question

  1. There shall be a motion for the previous question, which, being 
ordered by a majority of Members voting, if a quorum be present, shall 
have the effect to cut off all debate and bring the House to a direct 
vote upon the immediate question or questions on which it has been asked 
and ordered. The previous question may be asked and ordered upon a 
single motion, a series of motions allowable under the rules, or an 
amendment or amendments, or may be made to embrace all authorized 
motions or amendments and include the bill to its passage or rejection. 
It shall be in order, pending the motion for, or after the previous 
question shall have been ordered on its passage, for the Speaker to 
entertain and submit a motion to commit, with or without instructions, 
to a standing or select committee.
  2. A call of the House shall not be in order after the previous 
question is ordered, unless it shall appear upon an actual count by the 
Speaker that a quorum is not present.
  3. All incidental questions of order arising after a motion is made 
for the previous question, and pending such motion, shall be decided, 
whether on appeal or otherwise, without debate.

                               Rule XVIII

                             reconsideration

  1. When a motion has been made and carried or lost, it shall be in 
order for any member of the majority, on the same or succeeding day, to 
move for the reconsideration thereof, and such motion shall take 
precedence of all other questions except the consideration of a 
conference report or a motion to adjourn, and shall not be withdrawn 
after the said succeeding day without the consent of the House, and 
thereafter any Member may call it up for consideration: Provided, That 
such motion, if made during the last six days of a session, shall be 
disposed of when made.
  2. No bill, petition, memorial, or resolution referred to a committee, 
or reported therefrom for printing and recommitment, shall be brought 
back into the House on a motion to reconsider; and all bills, petitions, 
memorials, or resolutions reported from a committee shall be accompanied 
by reports in writing, which shall be printed.

                                Rule XIX

                              of amendments

  When a motion or proposition is under consideration a motion to amend 
and a motion to amend that amendment shall be in order, and it shall 
also be in order to offer a further amendment by way of substitute, to 
which one amendment may be offered, but which shall not be voted on 
until the original matter is perfected, but either may be withdrawn 
before amendment or decision is had thereon. Amendments to the title of 
a bill or resolution shall not be in order until after its passage, and 
shall be decided without debate.

                                 Rule XX

                       of amendments of the senate

  l. Any amendment of the Senate to any House bill shall be subject to 
the point of order that it shall first be considered in the Committee of 
the Whole House on the state of the Union, if, originating in the House, 
it would be subject to that point: Provided, however, That a motion to 
disagree with the amendments of the Senate to a House bill or resolution 
and request or agree to a conference with the Senate, or a motion to 
insist on the House amendments to a Senate bill or resolution and 
request or agree to a conference with the Senate, shall always be in 
order if the Speaker, in his discretion, recognizes for that purpose and 
if the motion is made by direction of the committee having jurisdiction 
of the subject matter of the bill or resolution.
  2. No amendment of the Senate to a general appropriation bill which 
would be in violation of the provisions of clause 2 of Rule XXI, if said 
amendment had originated in the House, nor any amendment of the Senate 
providing for an appropriation upon any bill other than a general 
appropriation bill, shall be agreed to by the managers on the part of 
the House unless specific authority to agree to such amendment shall be 
first given by the House by a separate vote on every such amendment.

                                Rule XXI

                                on bills

  1. Bills and joint resolutions on their passage shall be read the 
first time by title and the second time in full, when, if the previous 
question is ordered, the Speaker shall state, the question to be: Shall 
the bill be engrossed and read a third time? and, if decided in the 
affirmative, it shall be read the third time by title, and the question 
shall then be put upon its passage.
  2. (a) No appropriation shall be reported in any general appropriation 
bill, or shall be in order as an amend-

[[Page 3216]]

ment thereto, for any expenditure not previously authorized by law, 
except to continue appropriations for public works and objects which are 
already in progress.
  (b) No provision changing existing law shall be reported in any 
general appropriation bill except germane provisions which retrench 
expenditures by the reduction of amounts of money covered by the bill, 
which may include those recommended to the Committee on Appropriations 
by direction of any legislative committee having jurisdiction over the 
subject matter thereof, and except rescissions of appropriations 
contained in appropriations Acts.
  (c) No amendment to a general appropriation bill shall be in order if 
changing existing law. Except as provided in paragraph (d), no amendment 
shall be in order during consideration of a general appropriation bill 
proposing a limitation not specifically contained or authorized in 
existing law for the period of the limitation.
  (d) After a general appropriation bill has been read for amendment and 
amendments not precluded by paragraphs (a) or (c) of this clause have 
been considered, motions that the Committee of the Whole rise and report 
the bill to the House with such amendments as may have been adopted 
shall have precedence over motions to further amend the bill. If any 
such motion is rejected, amendments proposing limitations not 
specifically contained or authorized in existing law for the period of 
the limitation or proposing germane amendments which retrench 
expenditures by reduction of amounts of money covered by the bill may be 
considered; but after the vote on any such amendment, the privileged 
motion made in order under this paragraph may be renewed.
  3. A report from the Committee on Appropriations accompanying any 
general appropriation bill making an appropriation for any purpose shall 
contain a concise statement describing fully the effect of any provision 
of the accompanying bill which directly or indirectly changes the 
application of existing law.
  4. No bill for the payment or adjudication of any private claim 
against the Government shall be referred, except by unanimous consent, 
to any other than the following committees, namely: To the Committee on 
Foreign Affairs or to the Committee on the Judiciary.
  5. (a) No bill or joint resolution carrying appropriations shall be 
reported by any committee not having jurisdiction to report 
appropriations, nor shall an amendment proposing an appropriation be in 
order during the consideration of a bill or joint resolution reported by 
a committee not having that jurisdiction. A question of order on an 
appropriation in any such bill, joint resolution, or amendment thereto 
may be raised at any time.
  (b) No bill or joint resolution carrying a tax or tariff measure shall 
be reported by any committee not having jurisdiciton to report tax and 
tariff measures, nor shall an amendment in the House or proposed by the 
Senate carrying a tax or tariff measure be in order during the 
consideration of a bill or joint resolution reported by a committee not 
having that jurisdiction. A question of order on a tax or tariff measure 
in any such bill, joint resolution, or amendment thereto may be raised 
at any time.
  6. No general appropriation bill or amendment thereto shall be 
received or considered if it contains a provision reappropriating 
unexpended balances of appropriations; except that this provision shall 
not apply to appropriations in continuation of appropriations for public 
works on which work has commenced, and shall not apply to transfers of 
unexpended balances within the department or agency for which they were 
originally appropriated, reported by the Committee on Appropriations.
  7. No general appropriation bill shall be considered in the House 
until printed committee hearings and a committee report thereon have 
been available for the Members of the House for at least three calendar 
days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays).
  8. It shall not be in order to consider a bill, joint resolution, or 
conference report providing, increasing, or decreasing receipts or 
direct spending (as defined in section 250(c) of the Balanced Budget and 
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985), unless the conference report or 
bill or joint resolution as reported contains the following statement of 
law: ``The applicable cost estimate of this Act for all purposes of 
sections 252 and 253 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit 
Control Act of 1985 shall be as follows:     .''. The blank shall be 
filled with a cost estimate provided by the Congressional Budget Office 
(prepared in consultation with the Joint Committee on Taxation where 
appropriate pursuant to section 201(g) of the Congressional Budget Act 
of 1974). The cost estimate shall be in writing and shall be signed, and 
shall contain an estimate of the amount of the change in outlays or 
receipts, as the case may be, in each fiscal year through fiscal year 
1995, resulting from the conference report or bill or joint resolution 
as reported.

                                Rule XXII

             of petitions, memorials, bills, and resolutions

  1. Members having petitions or memorials or bills of a private nature 
to present may deliver them to the Clerk, indorsing their names and the 
reference or disposition to be made thereof; and said petitions and 
memorials and bills of a private nature, except such as, in the judgment 
of the Speaker, are of an obscene or insulting character, shall be 
entered on the Journal, with the names of the Members presenting them, 
and the Clerk shall furnish a transcript of such entry to the official 
reporters of debates for publication in the Record.
  2. No private bill or resolution (including so-called omnibus claims 
or pension bills), and no amendment to any bill or resolution, 
authorizing or directing (1) the payment of money for property damages, 
for personal injuries or death for which suit may be instituted under 
the Tort Claims Procedure as provided in title 28, United States Code, 
or for a pension (other than to carry out a provision of law or treaty 
stipulation); (2) the construction of a bridge across a navigable 
stream; or (3) the correction of a military or naval record, shall be 
received or considered in the House.
  3. Any petition or memorial or private bill excluded under this rule 
shall be returned to the Member from whom it was received; and petitions 
and private bills which have been inappropriately referred may, by the 
direction of the committee having possession of the same, be properly 
referred in the manner originally presented; and an erroneous reference 
of a petition or private bill under this clause shall not confer 
jurisdiction upon the committee to consider or report the same.
  4. (a) All other bills, memorials, and resolutions may, in like 
manner, be delivered, indorsed with the names of Members introducing 
them, to the Speaker, to be by him referred, and the titles and 
references thereof and of all bills, resolutions, and documents referred 
under the rules shall be entered on the Journal and printed in the 
Record of the next day, and correction in case of error of reference may 
be made by the House, without debate, in accordance with Rule X, on any 
day immediately after the reading of the Journal, by unanimous consent, 
or on motion of a committee claiming jurisdiction, or on the report of 
the committee to which the bill has been erroneously referred. Two or 
more Members may introduce jointly any bill, or resolution to which this 
paragraph applies.
  (b)(1) The name of any Member shall be added as a sponsor of any bill 
or resolution to which paragraph (a) applies, and shall appear as a 
sponsor in the next printing of that bill or resolution: Provided, That 
a request signed by such Member is submitted by the first sponsor to the 
Speaker (in the same manner as provided in paragraph (a)) no later than 
the day on which the last committee authorized to consider and report 
such bill or resolution reports it to the House.
  (2) The name of any Member listed as a sponsor of any such bill or 
resolution may be deleted by unanimous consent, but only at the request 
of such Member, and such deletion shall be indicated in the next 
printing of the bill or resolution (together with the date on which such 
name was deleted). Such consent may be granted no later than the day on 
which the last committee authorized to consider and report such bill or 
resolution reports it to the

[[Page 3217]]

House: Provided, however, That the Speaker shall not entertain a request 
to delete the name of the first sponsor of any bill or resolution.
  (3) The addition of the name of any Member, or the deletion of any 
name by unanimous consent, of a sponsor of any such bill or resolution 
shall be entered on the Journal and printed in the Record of that day.
  (4) Any such bill or resolution shall be reprinted (A) if the Member 
whose name is listed as the first sponsor submits to the Speaker a 
written request that it be reprinted, and (B) if twenty or more Members 
have been added as sponsors of that bill or resolution since it was last 
printed.
  5. All resolutions of inquiry addressed to the heads of executive 
departments shall be reported to the House within fourteen legislative 
days after presentation.
  6. When a bill, resolution, or memorial is introduced ``by request'', 
these words shall be entered upon the Journal and printed in the Record.

                               Rule XXIII

                    of committees of the whole house

  1. (a) In all cases, in forming a Committee of the Whole House, the 
Speaker shall leave his chair after appointing a Chairman to preside, 
who shall, in case of disturbance or disorderly conduct in the galleries 
or lobby, have power to cause the same to be cleared.
  (b) After the House has adopted a special order of business resolution 
reported by the Committee on Rules providing for the consideration of a 
measure in the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union, 
the Speaker may at any time within his discretion, when no question is 
pending before the House, declare the House resolved into the committee 
of the Whole House on the state of the Union for the consideration of 
that measure without intervening motion, unless the resolution in 
question provides otherwise.
  2. (a) A quorum of a Committee of the Whole shall consist of one 
hundred Members. The first time that a Committee of the Whole finds 
itself without a quorum during any day, the Chairman shall invoke the 
procedure for the call of the roll under clause 5 of Rule XV, unless, in 
his discretion, he orders a call of the Committee to be taken by the 
procedure set forth in clause 1 or clause 2(b) of Rule XV: Provided, 
That the Chairman may in his discretion refuse to entertain a point of 
order that a quorum is not present during general debate only. If on 
such call, a quorum shall appear, the Committee shall continue its 
business; but if a quorum does not appear, the Committee shall rise and 
the Chairman shall report the names of the absentees to the House. After 
the roll has been once called to establish a quorum during such day, the 
Chairman may not entertain a point of order that a quorum is not present 
unless the Committee is operating under the five-minute rule and the 
Chairman has put the pending motion or proposition to a vote; and if the 
Chairman sustains a point of order that a quorum is not present after 
putting the question on such a motion or proposition, he may announce 
that following a regular quorum call conducted pursuant to the previous 
provisions of this clause, he will reduce to not less than five minutes 
the period of time within which a recorded vote on the pending question 
may be taken if such a vote is ordered. If, at any time during the 
conduct of any quorum call in a Committee of the Whole, the Chairman 
determines that a quorum is present, he may, in his discretion and 
subject to his prior announcement, declare that a quorum is constituted. 
Proceedings under the call shall then be considered as vacated, and the 
Committee shall not rise but shall continue its sitting and resume its 
business.
  (b) In the Committee of the Whole, the Chair shall order a recorded 
vote on request supported by at least twenty-five Members.
  (c) In the Committee of the Whole, the Chairman may, in his 
discretion, reduce to not less than five minutes the period of time 
within which a rollcall vote by electronic device may be taken without 
any intervening business or debate on any or all pending amendments 
after the vote has been taken on the first pending amendment.
  3. All motions or propositions involving a tax or charge upon the 
people, all proceedings touching appropriations of money, or bills 
making appropriations of money or property, or requiring such 
appropriation to be made, or authorizing payments out of appropriations 
already made, or releasing any liability to the United States for money 
or property, or referring any claim to the Court of Claims, shall be 
first considered in a Committee of the Whole, and a point of order under 
this rule shall be good at any time before the consideration of a bill 
has commenced.
  4. In Committees of the Whole House business on their calendars may be 
taken up in regular order, or in such order as the committee may 
determine, unless the bill to be considered was determined by the House 
at the time of going into committee, but bills for raising revenue, 
general appropriation bills, and bills for the improvement of rivers and 
harbors shall have precedence.
  5. (a) When general debate is closed by order of the House, any Member 
shall be allowed five minutes to explain any amendment he may offer, 
after which the Member who shall first obtain the floor shall be allowed 
to speak five minutes in opposition to it, and there shall be no further 
debate thereon, but the same privilege of debate shall be allowed in 
favor of and against any amendment that may be offered to an amendment; 
and neither an amendment nor an amendment to an amendment shall be 
withdrawn by the mover thereof unless by the unanimous consent of the 
committee. Upon the offering of any amendment by a Member, when the 
House is meeting in the Committee of the Whole, the Clerk shall promptly 
transmit to the majority committee table five copies of the amendment 
and five copies to the minority committee table. Further, the Clerk 
shall deliver at least one copy of the amendment to the majority cloak 
room and at least one copy to the minority cloak room.
  (b) It shall be in order to move in the Committee of the Whole to 
dispense with the reading of an amendment if the amendment has been 
printed in the bill as reported from a committee, or if any Member shall 
have caused the amendment to be printed in the Congressional Record, and 
to be submitted to the Clerk, or to any responsible staff member 
designated by the Chairman, of the reporting committee or committees, at 
least one day prior to floor consideration, and said motion shall be 
decided without debate.
  6. The committee may, by the vote of a majority of the members 
present, at any time after the five minutes' debate has begun upon 
proposed amendments to any section or paragraph of a bill, close all 
debate upon such section or paragraph or, at its election, upon the 
pending amendments only (which motion shall be decided without debate); 
but this shall not preclude further amendment, to be decided without 
debate. However, if debate is closed on any section or paragraph under 
this clause before there has been debate on any amendment which any 
Member shall have caused to be printed in the Congressional Record after 
the reporting of the bill by the committee but at least one day prior to 
floor consideration of such amendment, the Member who caused such 
amendment to be printed in the Record shall be given five minutes in 
which to explain such amendment, after which the first person to obtain 
the floor shall be given five minutes in opposition to it, and there 
shall be no further debate thereon; but such time for debate shall not 
be allowed when the offering of such amendment is dilatory. Material 
placed in the Record pursuant to this provision shall indicate the full 
text of the proposed amendment, the name of the proponent Member, the 
number of the bill to which it will be offered and the point in the bill 
or amendment thereto where the amendment is intended to be offered, and 
shall appear in a portion of the Record designated for that purpose.
  7. A motion to strike out the enacting words of a bill shall have 
precedence of a motion to amend, and, if carried, shall be considered 
equivalent to its rejection. Whenever a bill is reported from a 
Committee of the Whole with an adverse recommendation and such 
recommendation is disagreed to by the House, the bill shall stand 
recommitted to the said committee without further action by the House, 
but before the question of concurrence is submitted it is in order to 
entertain a motion to refer the bill to any commit-

[[Page 3218]]

tee, with or without instructions, and when the same is again reported 
to the House it shall be referred to the Committee of the Whole without 
debate.
  8. At the conclusion of general debate in a Committee of the Whole on 
any concurrent resolution on the budget pursuant to section 305(a) of 
the Congressional Budget Act of l974, the concurrent resolution shall be 
considered as having been read for amendment. It shall not be in order 
in the House or in a Committee of the Whole to consider an amendment to 
a concurrent resolution on the budget, or any amendment to an amendment 
thereto, unless the concurrent resolution as amended by such amendment 
or amendments: (a) would be mathematically consistent (except to the 
extent that the amendment involved is limited by the third sentence of 
this clause); and (b) would contain all the matter set forth in 
paragraphs (1) through (5) of section 301(a) of the Congressional Budget 
Act of 1974. It shall not be in order in the House or in a Committee of 
the Whole to consider an amendment to a concurrent resolution on the 
budget, or any amendment to an amendment thereto, which changes the 
amount of the appropriate level of the public debt set forth in the 
concurrent resolution as reported; except that the amendments to achieve 
mathematical consistency which are permitted under section 305(a)(6) of 
the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 may include an amendment, offered 
by or at the direction of the Committee on the Budget, to adjust the 
amount of such level to reflect any changes made in the other figures 
contained in the resolution.
  9. The rules of proceeding in the House shall be observed in 
Committees of the Whole House so far as they may be applicable.

                                Rule XXIV

                            order of business

  1. The daily order of business shall be as follows:
  First. Prayer by the Chaplain.
  Second. Reading and approval of the Journal, unless postponed pursuant 
to the provisions of clause 5(b)(1) of rule I.
  Third. Correction of reference of public bills.
  Fourth. Disposal of business on the Speaker's table.
  Fifth. Unfinished business.
  Sixth. The morning hour for the consideration of bills called up by 
committees.
  Seventh. Motions to go into Committee of the Whole House on the state 
of the Union.
  Eighth. Orders of the day.
  2. Business on the Speaker's table shall be disposed of as follows:
  Messages from the President shall be referred to the appropriate 
committees without debate. Reports and communications from heads of 
departments, and other communications addressed to the House, and bills, 
resolutions, and messages from the Senate may be referred to the 
appropriate committees in the same manner and with the same right of 
correction as public bills presented by Members; but House bills with 
Senate amendments which do not require consideration in a Committee of 
the Whole may be at once disposed of as the House may determine, as may 
also Senate bills substantially the same as House bills already 
favorably reported by a committee of the House, and not required to be 
considered in Committee of the Whole, be disposed of in the same manner 
on motion directed to be made by such committee.
  3. The consideration of the unfinished business in which the House may 
be engaged at an adjournment, except business in the morning hour, shall 
be resumed as soon as the business on the Speaker's table is finished, 
and at the same time each day thereafter until disposed of, and the 
consideration of all other unfinished business shall be resumed whenever 
the class of business to which it belongs shall be in order under the 
rules.
  4. After the unfinished business has been disposed of, the Speaker 
shall call each standing committee in regular order, and then select 
committees, and each committee when named may call up for consideration 
any bill reported by it on a previous day and on the House Calendar, and 
if the Speaker shall not complete the call of the committees before the 
House passes to other business, he shall resume the next call where he 
left off, giving preference to the last bill under consideration: 
Provided, That whenever any committee shall have occupied the morning 
hour on two days, it shall not be in order to call up any other bill 
until the other committees have been called in their turn.
  5. After one hour shall have been devoted to the consideration of 
bills called up by committees, it shall be in order, pending 
consideration or discussion thereof, to entertain a motion to go into 
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union, or, when 
authorized by a committee, to go into the Committee of the Whole House 
on the state of the Union to consider a particular bill, to which motion 
one amendment only, designating another bill, may be made; and if either 
motion be determined in the negative, it shall not be in order to make 
either motion again until the disposal of the matter under consideration 
or discussion.
  6. On the first Tuesday of each month after disposal of such business 
on the Speaker's table as requires reference only, the Speaker shall 
direct the Clerk to call the bills and resolutions on the Private 
Calendar. Should objection be made by two or more Members to the 
consideration of any bill or resolution so called, it shall be 
recommitted to the committee which reported the bill or resolution, and 
no reservation of objection shall be entertained by the Speaker. Such 
bills and resolutions, if considered, shall be considered in the House 
as in the Committee of the Whole. No other business shall be in order on 
this day unless the House, by two-thirds vote on motion to dispense 
therewith, shall otherwise determine. On such motion debate shall be 
limited to five minutes for and five minutes against said motion.
  On the third Tuesday of each month after the disposal of such business 
on the Speaker's table as requires reference only, the Speaker may 
direct the Clerk to call the bills and resolutions on the Private 
Calendar, preference to be given to omnibus bills containing bills or 
resolutions which have previously been objected to on a call of the 
Private Calendar. All bills and resolutions on the Private Calendar so 
called, if considered, shall be considered in the House as in the 
Committee of the Whole. Should objection be made by two or more Members 
to the consideration of any bill or resolution other than an omnibus 
bill, it shall be recommitted to the committee which reported the bill 
or resolution and no reservation of objection shall be entertained by 
the Speaker.
  Omnibus bills shall be read for amendment by paragraph, and no 
amendment shall be in order except to strike out or to reduce amounts of 
money stated or to provide limitations. Any item or matter stricken from 
an omnibus bill shall not thereafter during the same session of Congress 
be included in any omnibus bill.
  Upon passage of any such omnibus bill, said bill shall be resolved 
into the several bills and resolutions of which it is composed, and such 
original bills and resolutions, with any amendments adopted by the 
House, shall be engrossed, where necessary, and proceedings thereon had 
as if said bills and resolutions had been passed in the House severally.
  In the consideration of any omnibus bill the proceedings as set forth 
above shall have the same force and effect as if each Senate and House 
bill or resolution therein contained or referred to were considered by 
the House as a separate and distinct bill or resolution.
  7. On Wednesday of each week no business shall be in order except as 
provided by clause 4 of this rule unless the House by a two-thirds vote 
on motion to dispense therewith shall otherwise determine. On such a 
motion there may be debate not to exceed five minutes for and against. 
On a call of committees under this rule bills may be called up from 
either the House or the Union Calendar, excepting bills which are 
privileged under the rules; but bills called up from the Union Calendar 
shall be considered in the Committee of the Whole House on the state of 
the Union. This rule shall not apply during the last 2 weeks of the 
session. It shall not be in order for the Speaker to entertain a motion 
for a recess on any Wednesday except during the last 2 weeks of the 
session: Provided, That not more that 2 hours of general debate shall be 
permitted on any measure called up on Calendar Wednesday, and all debate 
must be confined to the sub-

[[Page 3219]]

ject matter of the bill, the time to be equally divided between those 
for and against the bill: Provided further, That whenever any committee 
shall have occupied one Wednesday it shall not be in order, unless the 
House by a two-thirds vote shall otherwise determine, to consider any 
unfinished business previously called up by such committee, unless the 
previous question had been ordered thereon, upon any succeeding 
Wednesday until the other committees have been called in their turn 
under this rule: Provided, That when, during any one session of a 
Congress, all of the committees of the House are not called under the 
Calendar Wednesday rule, at the next session of that Congress, the call 
shall commence where it left off at the end of the preceding session.
  8. The second and fourth Mondays in each month, after the disposition 
of motions to discharge committees and after the disposal of such 
business on the Speaker's table as requires reference only, shall, when 
claimed by the Committee on the District of Columbia, be set apart for 
the consideration of such business as may be presented by said 
committee.

                                Rule XXV

                          priority of business

  All questions relating to the priority of business shall be decided by 
a majority without debate.

                                Rule XXVI

                   unfinished business of the session

  All business before committees of the House at the end of one session 
shall be resumed at the commencement of the next session of the same 
Congress in the same manner as if no adjournment had taken place.

                               Rule XXVII

                      change or suspension of rules

  1. No rule shall be suspended except by a vote of two-thirds of the 
Members voting, a quorum being present; nor shall the Speaker entertain 
a motion to suspend the rules except on Mondays and Tuesdays, and during 
the last six days of a session.
  2. When a motion to suspend the rules has been submitted to the House, 
it shall be in order, before the final vote is taken thereon, to debate 
the proposition to be voted upon for forty minutes, one-half of such 
time to be given to debate in favor of, and one-half to debate in 
opposition to, such proposition; and the same right of debate shall be 
allowed whenever the previous question has been ordered on any 
proposition on which there has been no debate.
  3. A Member may present to the Clerk a motion in writing to discharge 
a committee from the consideration of a public bill or resolution which 
has been referred to it thirty days prior thereto (but only one motion 
may be presented for each bill or resolution). Under this rule it shall 
also be in order for a Member to file a motion to discharge the 
Committee on Rules from further consideration of any resolution 
providing either a special order of business, or a special rule for the 
consideration of any public bill or resolution favorably reported by a 
standing committee, or a special rule for the consideration of a public 
bill or resolution which has remained in a standing committee thirty or 
more days without action: Provided, That said resolution from which it 
is moved to discharge the Committee on Rules has been referred to that 
committee at least seven days prior to the filing of the motion to 
discharge. The motion shall be placed in the custody of the Clerk, who 
shall arrange some convenient place for the signature of Members. A 
signature may be withdrawn by a Member in writing at any time before the 
motion is entered on the Journal. When a majority of the total 
membership of the House shall have signed the motion, it shall be 
entered on the Journal, printed with the signatures thereto in the 
Congressional Record, and referred to the Calendar of Motions to 
Discharge Committees.
  On the second and fourth Mondays of each month, except during the last 
six days of any session of Congress, immediately after the approval of 
the Journal, any Member who has signed a motion to discharge which has 
been on the calendar at least seven days prior thereto, and seeks 
recognition, shall be recognized for the purpose of calling up the 
motion, and the House shall proceed to its consideration in the manner 
herein provided without intervening motion except one motion to adjourn. 
Recognition for the motions shall be in the order in which they have 
been entered on the Journal.
  When any motion under this rule shall be called up, the bill or 
resolution shall be read by title only. After twenty minutes' debate, 
one-half in favor of the proposition and one-half in opposition thereto, 
the House shall proceed to vote on the motion to discharge. If the 
motion prevails to discharge the Committee on Rules from any resolution 
pending before the committee, the House shall immediately consider such 
resolution, the Speaker not entertaining any dilatory motion except one 
motion to adjourn, and, if such resolution is adopted, the House shall 
immediately proceed to its execution. If the motion prevails to 
discharge one of the standing committees of the House from any public 
bill or resolution pending before the committee, it shall then be in 
order for any Member who signed the motion to move that the House 
proceed to the immediate consideration of such bill or resolution (such 
motion not being debatable), and such motion is hereby made of high 
privilege; and if it shall be decided in the affirmative, the bill shall 
be immediately considered under the general rules of the House, and if 
unfinished before adjournment of the day on which it is called up it 
shall remain the unfinished business until it is fully disposed of. 
Should the House by vote decide against the immediate consideration of 
such bill or resolution, it shall be referred to its proper calendar and 
be entitled to the same rights and privileges that it would have had had 
the committee to which it was referred duly reported same to the House 
for its consideration: Provided, That when any perfected motion to 
discharge a committee from the consideration of any public bill or 
resolution has once been acted upon by the House it shall not be in 
order to entertain during the same session of Congress any other motion 
for the discharge from that committee of said measure, or from any other 
committee of any other bill or resolution substantially the same, 
relating in substance to or dealing with the same subject matter, or 
from the Committee on Rules of a resolution providing a special order of 
business for the consideration of any other such bill or resolution, in 
order that such action by the House on a motion to discharge shall be 
res adjudicata for the remainder of that session: Provided further, That 
if before any one motion to discharge a committee has been acted upon by 
the House there are on the Calendar of Motions to Discharge Committees 
other motions to discharge committees from the consideration of bills or 
resolutions substantially the same, relating in substance to or dealing 
with the same subject matter, after the House shall have acted on one 
motion to discharge, the remaining said motions shall be stricken from 
the Calendar of Motions to Discharge Committees and not acted on during 
the remainder of that session of Congress.

                               Rule XXVIII

                           conference reports

  1. (a) The presentation of reports of committees of conference shall 
always be in order, except when the Journal is being read, while the 
roll is being called, or the House is dividing on any proposition.
  (b) The time allotted for debate on any motion to instruct House 
conferees shall be equally divided between the majority and minority 
parties, except that if the proponent of the motion and the Member from 
the other party are both supporters of the motion, one-third of such 
debate time shall be allotted to a Member who is opposed to said motion.
  (c) After House conferees on any bill or resolution in conference 
between the House and Senate shall have been appointed for twenty 
calendar days and shall have failed to make a report, it is hereby 
declared to be a motion of the highest privilege to move to discharge 
said House conferees and to appoint new conferees, or to instruct said 
House conferees (but only on the day after the calendar day on which the 
Member making the motion announces to the House his intention to do so 
and the form of the motion); and, further, during the last six days of 
any session of Congress, it shall be a privileged motion to move to 
discharge, appoint, or

[[Page 3220]]

instruct, House conferees after House conferees shall have been 
appointed thirty-six hours without having made a report.
  (d) Each report made by a committee of conference to the House shall 
be printed as a report of the House. As so printed, such report shall be 
accompanied by an explanatory statement prepared jointly by the 
conferees on the part of the House and the conferees on the part of the 
Senate. Such statement shall be sufficiently detailed and explicit to 
inform the House as to the effect which the amendments or propositions 
contained in such report will have upon the measure to which those 
amendments or propositions relate.
  2. (a) It shall not be in order to consider the report of a committee 
of conference until the third calendar day (excluding any Saturday, 
Sunday, or legal holiday) after such report and the accompanying 
statement shall have been filed in the House, and such consideration 
then shall be in order only if such report and accompanying statement 
shall have been printed in the daily edition of the Congressional Record 
for the day on which such report and statement shall have been filed; 
but the preceding provisions of this sentence do not apply during the 
last six days of the session. Nor shall it be in order to consider any 
conference report unless copies of the report and accompanying statement 
have been available to Members for at least two hours before the 
beginning of such consideration: Provided, however, That it shall always 
be in order to call up for consideration, notwithstanding the provisions 
of clause 4(b), Rule XI, a report from the Committee on Rules only 
making in order the consideration of a conference report notwithstanding 
this restriction. The time allotted for debate in the consideration of 
any such report shall be equally divided between the majority party and 
the minority party, except that if the floor manager for the majority 
and the floor manager for the minority are both supporters of the 
conference report, one third of such debate time shall be allotted to a 
Member who is opposed to said conference report.
  (b) It shall not be in order to consider any amendment (including an 
amendment in the nature of a substitute) proposed by the Senate to any 
measure reported in disagreement between the two Houses by a report of a 
committee of conference that the committee has been unable to agree, 
until the third calendar day (excluding any Saturday, Sunday, or legal 
holiday) after such report and accompanying statement shall have been 
filed in the House, and such consideration then shall be in order only 
if such report and accompanying statement shall have been printed in the 
daily edition of the Congressional Record for the day on which such 
report and statement shall have been filed; but the preceding provisions 
of this sentence do not apply during the last six days of the session. 
Nor shall it be in order to consider any such amendment unless copies of 
the report and accompanying statement, together with the text of such 
amendment, have been available to Members for at least two hours before 
the beginning of such consideration: Provided, however, That it shall 
always be in order to call up for consideration, notwithstanding the 
provisions of clause 4(b), Rule XI, a report from the Committee on Rules 
only making in order the consideration of such an amendment 
notwithstanding this restriction.
  The time allotted for debate on any such amendment shall be equally 
divided between the majority party and the minority party, except that 
if the floor manager for the majority and the floor manager for the 
minority are both supporters of the original motion offered by the floor 
manager for the majority to dispose of the amendment, one third of such 
debate time shall be allotted to a Member who is opposed to said motion.
  (c) Any conference report and Senate amendment in disagreement which 
has been available as provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this clause 
shall be considered as having been read when called up for 
consideration.
  3. Whenever a disagreement to an amendment in the nature of a 
substitute has been committed to a conference committee it shall be in 
order for the Managers on the part of the House to propose a substitute 
which is a germane modification of the matter in disagreement, but the 
introduction of any language in that substitute presenting a specific 
additional topic, question, issue, or proposition not committed to the 
conference committee by either House shall not constitute a germane 
modification of the matter in disgreement. Moreover, their report shall 
not include matter not committed to the conference committee by either 
House, nor shall their report include a modification of any specific 
topic, question, issue, or proposition committed to the conference 
committee by either or both Houses if that modification is beyond the 
scope of that specific topic, question, issue, or proposition as so 
committed to the conference committee.
  4. (a) With respect to any report of a committee of conference called 
up before the House containing any matter which would be in violation of 
the provisions of clause 7 of Rule XVI if such matter had been offered 
as an amendment in the House, and which--
    (1) is contained in any Senate amendment to that measure (including 
  a Senate amendment in the nature of substitute for the text of that 
  measure as passed by the House) accepted by the House conferees or 
  agreed to by the conference committee with modification; or
    (2) is contained in any substitute agreed to by the conference 
  committee;

it shall be in order, at any time after the reading of the report has 
been completed or dispensed with and before the reading of the 
statement, or immediately upon consideration of a conference report if 
clause 2(c) of this rule applies, to make a point of order that such 
nongermane matter, as described above, which shall be specified in the 
point of order, is contained in the report. For the purposes of this 
clause, matter which--
    (A) is contained in any substitute agreed to by the conference 
  committee;
    (B) is not proposed by the House to be included in the measure 
  concerned as passed by the House; and
    (C) would be in violation of clause 7 of Rule XVI if such matter had 
  been offered in the House as an amendment to the provisions of that 
  measure as so proposed in the form passed by the House;

shall be considered in violation of such clause 7.
  (b) If such point of order is sustained, it then shall be in order for 
the Chair to entertain a motion, which is of high privilege, that the 
House reject the nongermane matter covered by the point of order. It 
shall be in order to debate such motion for forty minutes, one-half of 
such time to be given to debate in favor of, and one-half in opposition 
to, the motion.
  (c) Notwithstanding the final disposition of any point of order made 
under paragraph (a), or of any motion to reject made pursuant to a point 
of order under paragraph (b), of this clause, it shall be in order to 
make further points of order on the ground stated in such paragraph (a), 
and motions to reject pursuant thereto under such paragraph (b), with 
respect to other nongermane matter in the report of the committee of 
conference not covered by any previous point of order which has been 
sustained.
  (d) If any such motion to reject has been adopted, after final 
dispostion of all points of order and motions to reject under the 
preceding provisions of this clause, the conference report shall be 
considered as rejected and the question then pending before the House 
shall be--
    (1) whether to recede and concur in the Senate amendment with an 
  amendment which shall consist of that portion of the conference report 
  not rejected; or
    (2) if the last sentence of paragraph (a) of this clause applies, 
  whether to insist further on the House amendment.

If all such motions to reject are defeated, then, after the allocation 
of time for debate on the conference report as provided in clause 2(a) 
of this Rule, it shall be in order to move the previous question on the 
adoption of the conference report.
  5. (a)(1) With respect to any amendment (including an amendment in the 
nature of a substitute) which--
    (A) is proposed by the Senate to any measure and thereafter--

[[Page 3221]]

      (i) is reported in disagreement between the two Houses by a 
    committee of conference; or
      (ii) is before the House, the stage of disagreement having been 
    reached; and
    (B) contains any matter which would be in violation of the 
  provisions of clause 7 of Rule XVI if such matter had been offered as 
  an amendment in the House;

it shall be in order, immediately after a motion is offered that the 
House recede from its disagreement to such amendment proposed by the 
Senate and concur therein and before debate is commenced on such motion, 
to make a point of order that such nongermane matter, as described 
above, which shall be specified in the point of order, is contained in 
such amendment proposed by the Senate.
  (2) If such point of order is sustained, it then shall be in order for 
the Chair to entertain a motion, which is of high privilege, that the 
House reject the nongermane matter covered by the point of order. It 
shall be in order to debate such motion for forty minutes, one-half of 
such time to be given to debate in favor of, and one-half in opposition 
to, the motion.
  (3) Notwithstanding the final disposition of any point of order made 
under subparagraph (1), or of any motion to reject made pursuant to a 
point of order under subparagraph (2), of this paragraph, it shall be in 
order to make further points of order on the ground stated in such 
subparagraph (1), and motions to reject pursuant thereto under such 
subparagraph (2), with respect to other nongermane matter in the 
amendment proposed by the Senate not covered by any previous point of 
order which has been sustained.
  (4) If any such motion to reject has been adopted, after final 
disposition of all points of order and motions to reject under the 
preceding provisions of this clause, the motion to recede and concur 
shall be considered as rejected, and further motions--
    (A) to recede and concur in the Senate amendment with an amendment, 
  where appropriate (but the offering of which is not in order unless 
  copies of the language of the Senate amendment, as proposed to be 
  amended by such motion, are then available on the floor when such 
  motion is offered and is under consideration);
    (B) to insist upon disagreement to the Senate amendment and request 
  a further conference with the Senate; and
    (C) to insist upon disagreement to the Senate amendment;

shall remain of high privilege for consideration by the House. If all 
such motions to reject are defeated, then, after the allocation of time 
for debate on the motion to recede and concur as provided in clause 2(b) 
of this Rule, it shall be in order to move the previous question on such 
motion.
  (b)(1) With respect to any such amendment proposed by the Senate as 
described in paragraph (a) of this clause, it shall not be in order to 
offer any motion that the House recede from its disagreement to such 
Senate amendment and concur therein with an amendment, unless copies of 
the language of the Senate amendment, as proposed to be amended by such 
motion, are then available on the floor when such motion is offered and 
is under consideration.
  (2) Immediately after any such motion is offered and is in order and 
before debate is commenced on such motion, it shall be in order to make 
a point of order that nongermane matter, as described in subparagraph 
(1) of paragraph (a) of this clause, which shall be specified in the 
point of order, is contained in the language of the Senate amendment, as 
proposed to be amended by such motion, copies of which are then 
available on the floor.
  (3) If such point of order is sustained, it then shall be in order for 
the Chair to entertain a motion, which is of high privilege, that the 
House reject the nongermane matter covered by the point of order. It 
shall be in order to debate such motion for forty minutes, one-half of 
such time to be given to debate in favor of, and one-half in opposition 
to, the motion.
  (4) Notwithstanding the final disposition of any point of order under 
subparagraph (2), or of any motion to reject made pursuant to a point of 
order under subparagraph (3), of this paragraph, it shall be in order to 
make further points of order on the ground stated in subparagraph (1) of 
paragraph (a) of this clause, and motions to reject pursuant thereto 
under subparagraph (3) of this paragraph, with respect to other 
nongermane matter in the language of the Senate amendment, as proposed 
to be amended by the motion described in subparagraph (1) of this 
paragraph, not covered by any previous point of order which has been 
sustained.
  (5) If any such motion to reject has been adopted, after final 
disposition of all points of order and motions to reject under the 
preceding provisions of this paragraph, the motion to recede and concur 
in the Senate amendment with an amendment shall be considered as 
rejected, and further motions--
    (A) to recede and concur in the Senate amendment with an amendment, 
  where appropriate (but the offering of which is not in order unless 
  copies of the language of the Senate amendment, as proposed to be 
  amended by such motion, are then available on the floor when such 
  motion is offered and is under consideration);
    (B) to insist upon disagreement to the Senate amendment and request 
  a further conference with the Senate; and
    (C) to insist upon disagreement to the Senate amendment;

shall remain of high privilege for consideration by the House. If all 
such motions to reject are defeated, then, after the allocation of time 
for debate on the motion to recede and concur in the Senate amendment 
with an amendment as provided in clause 2(b) of this Rule, it shall be 
in order to move the previous question on such motion.
  (c) If, on a division of a motion that the House recede and concur, 
with or without amendment, from its disagreement to any such Senate 
amendment as described in paragraph (a)(1) of this clause, the House 
agrees to recede, then, before debate is commenced on concurring in such 
Senate amendment, or on concurring therein with an amendment it shall be 
in order to make and dispose of points of order and motions to reject 
with respect to such Senate amendment in accordance with applicable 
provisions of this clause and to effect final determination of these 
matters in accordance with such provisions.

shall be open to the public except when the House, in open session, has 
determined by a roll call vote of a majority of those Members voting 
that all or part of the meeting shall be closed to the public.
  (b)(1) After the reading of the report and before the reading of the 
joint statement, or immediately upon consideration of a conference 
report if clause 2(c) of this rule applies, a point of order may be made 
that the committee of conference making the report to the House has 
failed to comply with paragraph (a) of this clause.
  (2) If such point of order is sustained, the conference report shall 
be considered as rejected, the House shall be considered to have 
insisted upon its amendment(s) or upon disgreement to the amendment(s) 
of the Senate, as the case may be, and to have requested a further 
conference with the Senate, and the Speaker shall be authorized to 
appoint new conferees without intervening motion.

                                Rule XXIX

the chairman and the ranking minority party Member of the Committee on 
House Administration of any determination under the preceding sentence.

later order of the House and, in the case of a record of a committee, 
later order of the committee.

regulations governing the applicability and implementation of this rule.
  (c) A committee may withdraw from the National Archives and Records 
Administration any record of the committee delivered to the Archivist of 
the United States under this rule. Such withdrawal shall be on a 
temporary basis and for official use of the committee.

permanent record of the House, including--

transmit to the officer in charge with the settlement thereof the papers 
on file in his office relating to such claim, or may loan temporarily to 
an officer or bureau of the executive departments any papers on file in 
his office relating to any matter pending before such officer or bureau,

  There is hereby established by and for the House of Representatives 
the following code of conduct, to be known as the ``Code of Official

Representatives and to the rules of duly constituted committees thereof.
  3. A Member, officer, or employee of the House of Representatives 
shall receive no compensation nor shall he permit any compensation to 
accrue to his beneficial interest from any source, the receipt of which 
would occur by virtue of influence improperly exerted from his position 
in the Congress.
  4. A Member, officer, or employee of the House of Representatives 
shall not accept gifts (other than the personal hospitality of an 
individual or with a fair market value of $75 or less) in any calendar

extent permitted by written waiver granted in exceptional circumstances 
by the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct pursuant to clause 
4(e)(1)(E) of rule X.

handicap, age, or national origin, but may take into consideration the 
domicile or political affiliation of such individual.
  10. A Member of the House of Representatives who has been convicted by 
a court of record for the commission of a crime for which a sentence of 
two or more years' imprisonment may be imposed should refrain from 
participation in the business of each committee of which he is a member 
and should refrain from voting on any question at a meeting of the

of the executive or judicial branch of Government with respect to 
nonlegislative matters affecting any nongovernmental person in which the 
employee has a significant financial interest.
  (b) Paragraph (a) shall not apply if an employee first advises his 
employing authority of his significant financial interest and obtains 
from his employing authority a written waiver stating that the 
participation of the employee is necessary. A copy of each such waiver 
shall be filed with the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct.
  As used in this Code of Official Conduct of the House of

Ethics), the congressional ethics committees, or the Judicial 
Conference, is not reasonably expected to perform the duties of his 
office or position for more than sixty days in a calendar year, except

      (i) except to the extent provided in subparagraph (B) of this

    such communication is in writing and unless it relates only (I) to 
    the general financial interest and needs of the interested party 
    (including, but not limited to, an interest in maximizing income or 
    long-term capital gain), (II) to the notification of the trustee of 
    a law or regulation subsequently applicable to the reporting 
    individual which prohibits the interested party from holding an 
    asset, which notification directs that the asset not be held by the 
    trust, or (III) to directions to the trustee to sell all of an asset 
    initially placed in the trust by an interested party which in the 
    determination of the reporting individual creates a conflict of 
    interest or the appearance thereof due to the subsequent assumption 
    of duties by the reporting individual (but nothing herein shall 
    require any such direction); and
      (vii) the interested parties shall make no effort to obtain

  portfolio of readily marketable securities;
    (II) none of the assets consist of securities of entities having 
  substantial activities in the area of the reporting individual's

    (V) except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the trust 
  instrument provides (or in the case of a trust established prior to

  by its terms permit amendment, the trustee, the reporting individual, 
  and any other interested party agree inP
  writing that the trust shall be administered in accordance with the 
  requirements of this subsection and the trustee of such trust meets

nature and extent of the intelligence and intelligence-related 
activities of the various departments and agencies of the United States. 
Such committee shall promptly call to the attention of the House or to 
any other appropriate committee or committees of the House any matters 
requiring the attention of the House or such other committee or 
committees. In making such reports, the select committee shall proceed 
in a manner consistent with clause 7 to protect national security.
  (b) The select committee shall obtain an annual report from the 
Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, the Secretary of Defense, 
the Secretary of State, and the Director of the Federal

[[Page 3234]]

Bureau of Investigation. Such reports shall review the intelligence and 
intelligence-related activities of the agency or department concerned 
and the intelligence and intelligence-related activities of foreign 
countries directed at the United States or its interest. An unclassified 
version of each report may be made available to the public at the 
discretion of the select committee. Nothing herein shall be construed as 
requiring the public disclosure in such reports of the names of 
individuals engaged in intelligence or intelligence-related activities 
for the United States or the divulging of intelligence methods employed 
or the sources of information on which such reports are based or the 
amount of funds authorized to be appropriated for intelligence and 
intelligence-related activities.
  (c) On or before March 15 of each year, the select committee shall 
submit to the Committee on the Budget of the House the views and 
estimates described in section 301(c) of the Congressional Budget Act of 
1974 regarding matters within the jurisdiction of the select committee.
  4. To the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this rule, 
the provisions of clauses 1, 2, 3, and 5 (a), (b), (c), and (6) (a), 
(b), (c) of rule XI shall apply to the select committee, except that, 
notwithstanding the requirements of the first sentence of clause 2(g)(2) 
of rule XI, a majority of those present, there being in attendance the 
requisite number required under the rules of the select committee to be 
present for the purpose of taking testimony or receiving evidence, may 
vote to close a hearing whenever the majority determines that such 
testimony or evidence would endanger the national security.
  5. No employee of the select committee or any person engaged by 
contract or otherwise to perform services for or at the request of such 
committee shall be given access to any classified information by such 
committee unless such employee or person has (1) agreed in writing and 
under oath to be bound by the rules of the House (including the 
jurisdiction of the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct and of 
the select committee as to the security of such information during and 
after the period of his employment or contractual agreement with such 
committee); and (2) received an appropriate security clearance as 
determined by such committee in consultation with the Director of 
Central Intelligence. The type of security clearance to be required in 
the case of any such employee or person shall, within the determination 
of such committee in consultation with the Director of Central 
Intelligence, be commensurate with the sensitivity of the classified 
information to which such employee or person will be given access by 
such committee.
  6. The select committee shall formulate and carry out such rules and 
procedures as it deems necessary to prevent the disclosure, without the 
consent of the person or persons concerned, of information in the 
possession of such committee which unduly infringes upon the privacy or 
which violates the constitutional rights of such person or persons. 
Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent such committee from 
publicly disclosing any such information in any case in which such 
committee determines that national interest in the disclosure of such 
information clearly outweighs any infringement on the privacy of any 
person or persons.
  7. (a) The select committee may, subject to the provisions of this 
clause, disclose publicly any information in the possession of such 
committee after a determination by such committee that the public 
interest would be served by such disclosure. Whenever committee action 
is required to disclose any information under this clause, the committee 
shall meet to vote on the matter within five days after any member of 
the committee requests such a vote. No member of the select committee 
shall disclose any information, the disclosure of which requires a 
committee vote, prior to a vote by the committee on the question of the 
disclosure of such information or after such vote except in accordance 
with this clause.
  (b)(1) In any case in which the select committee votes to disclose 
publicly any information which has been classified under established 
security procedures, which has been submitted to it by the executive 
branch, and which the executive branch requests be kept secret, such 
committee shall notify the President of such vote.
  (2) The select committee may disclose publicly such information after 
the expiration of a five-day period following the day on which notice of 
such vote is transmitted to the President, unless, prior to the 
expiration of such five-day period, the President, personally in 
writing, notifies the committee that he objects to the disclosure of 
such information, provides his reasons therefor, and certifies that the 
threat to the national interest of the United States posed by such 
disclosure is of such gravity that it outweighs any public interest in 
the disclosure.
  (3) If the President, personally, in writing, notifies the select 
committee of his objections to the disclosure of such information as 
provided in subparagraph (2), such committee may, by majority vote, 
refer the question of this disclosure of such information with a 
recommendation thereon to the House for consideration. The committee 
shall not publicly disclose such information without leave of the House.
  (4) Whenever the select committee votes to refer the question of 
disclosure of any information to the House under subparagraph (3), the 
chairman shall, not later than the first day on which the House is in 
session following the day on which the vote occurs, report the matter to 
the House for its consideration.
  (5) If within four calendar days on which the House is in session, 
after such recommendation is reported, no motion has been made by the 
chairman of the select committee to consider, in closed session, the 
matter reported under subparagraph (4), then such a motion will be 
deemed privileged and may be made by any Member. The motion under this 
subparagraph shall not be subject to debate or amendment. When made, it 
shall be decided without intervening motion, except one motion to 
adjourn.
  (6) If the House adopts a motion to resolve into closed session, the 
Speaker shall then be authorized to declare a recess subject to the call 
of the Chair. At the expiration of such recess, the pending question, in 
closed session, shall be, ``Shall the House approve the recommendation 
of the select committee?''
  (7) After not more than two hours of debate on the motion, such debate 
to be equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the select committee, or their designees, the 
previous question shall be considered as ordered and the House, without 
intervening motion except one motion to adjourn, shall immediately vote 
on the question, in open session but without divulging the information 
with respect to which the vote is being taken. If the recommendation of 
the select committee is not agreed to, the question shall be deemed 
recommitted to the select committee for further recommendation.
  (c)(1) No information in the possession of the select committee 
relating to the lawful intelligence or intelligence-related activities 
of any department or agency of the United States which has been 
classified under established security procedures and which the select 
committee, pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this clause, has 
determined should not be disclosed shall be made available to any person 
by a Member, officer, or employee of the House except as provided in 
subparagraphs (2) and (3).
  (2) The select committee shall, under such regulations as the 
committee shall prescribe, make any information described in 
subparagraph (1) available to any other committee or any other Member of 
the House and permit any other Member of the House to attend any hearing 
of the committee which is closed to the public. Whenever the select 
committee makes such information available (other than to the Speaker), 
the committee shall keep a written record showing, in the case of any 
particular information, which committee or which Members of the House 
received such information. No Member of the House who, and no committee 
which, receives any information under this subparagraph, shall disclose 
such information except in a closed session of the House.
  (3) The select committee shall permit the Speaker to attend any 
meeting of the committee and to have access to

[[Page 3235]]

any information in the possession of the committee.
  (d) The Committee on Standards of Official Conduct shall investigate 
any unauthorized disclosure of intelligence or intelligence-related 
information by a Member, officer, or employee of the House in violation 
of paragraph (c) and report to the House concerning any allegation which 
it finds to be substantiated.
  (e) Upon the request of any person who is subject to any such 
investigation, the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct shall 
release to such individual at the conclusion of its investigation a 
summary of its investigation, together with its findings. If, at the 
conclusion of its investigation, the Committee on Standards of Official 
Conduct determines that there has been a significant breach of 
confidentiality or unauthorized disclosure by a Member, officer, or 
employee of the House, it shall report its findings to the House and 
recommend appropriate action such as censure, removal from committee 
membership, or expulsion from the House, in the case of a Member, or 
removal from office or employment or punishment for contempt, in the 
case of an officer or employee.
  8. The select committee is authorized to permit any personal 
representative of the President, designated by the President to serve as 
a liaison to such committee, to attend any closed meeting of such 
committee.
  9. Subject to the rules of the House, no funds shall be appropriated 
for any fiscal year, with the exception of a continuing bill or 
resolution continuing appropriations, or amendment thereto, or 
conference report thereon, to, or for use of, any department or agency 
of the United States to carry out any of the following activities, 
unless such funds shall have been previously authorized by a bill or 
joint resolution passed by the House during the same or preceding fiscal 
year to carry out such activity for such fiscal year:
    (a) The activities of the Central Intelligence Agency and the 
  Director of Central Intelligence.
    (b) The activities of the Defense Intelligence Agency.
    (c) The activities of the National Security Agency.
    (d) The intelligence and intelligence-related activities of other 
  agencies and subdivisions of the Department of Defense.
    (e) The intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the 
  Department of State.
    (f) The intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the 
  Federal Bureau of Investigation, including all activities of the 
  Intelligence Division.
  10. (a) As used in this rule, the term ``intelligence and 
intelligence-related activities'' includes (1) the collection, analysis, 
production, dissemination, or use of information which relates to any 
foreign country, or any government, political group, party, military 
force, movement, or other association in such foreign country, and which 
relates to the defense, foreign policy, national security, or related 
policies of the United States, and other activity which is in support of 
such activities; (2) activities taken to counter similar activities 
directed against the United States; (3) covert or clandestine activities 
affecting the relations of the United States with any foreign 
government, political group, party, military force, movement, or other 
association; (4) the collection, analysis, production, dissemination, or 
use of information about activities of persons within the United States, 
its territories and possessions, or nationals of the United States 
abroad whose political and related activites pose, or may be considered 
by any department, agency, bureau, office, division, instrumentality, or 
employee of the United States to pose, a threat to the internal security 
of the United States, and covert or clandestine activities directed 
against such persons.
  (b) As used in this rule, the term ``department or agency'' includes 
any organization, committee, council, establishment, or office within 
the Federal Government.
  (c) For purposes of this rule, reference to any department, agency, 
bureau, or subdivision shall include a reference to any successor 
department, agency, bureau, or subdivision to the extent that such 
successor engages in intelligence or intelligence-related activities now 
conducted by the department, agency, bureau, or subdivision referred to 
in this rule.
  11. Clause 6(a) of rule XXVIII does not apply to conference committee 
meetings respecting legislation (or any part thereof) reported from the 
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

                                Rule XLIX

           establishment of statutory limit on the public debt

  1. Upon the adoption by the Congress (under section 301 or 304 of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974) of any concurrent resolution on the 
budget setting forth as the appropriate level of the public debt for the 
period to which such concurrent resolution relates an amount which is 
different from the amount of the statutory limit on the public debt that 
would otherwise be in effect for such period, the enrolling clerk of the 
House of Representatives shall prepare an engrossment of a joint 
resolution, in the form prescribed in clause 2, increasing or decreasing 
the statutory limit on the public debt. The vote by which the conference 
report on the concurrent resolution on the budget was agreed to in the 
House (or by which the concurrent resolution itself was adopted in the 
House, if there is no conference report) shall be deemed to have been a 
vote in favor of such joint resolution upon final passage in the House 
of Representatives. Upon the engrossment of such joint resolution it 
shall be deemed to have passed the House of Representatives and been 
duly certified and examined; the engrossed copy shall be signed by the 
Clerk and transmitted to the Senate for further legislative action; and 
(upon final passage by both Houses) the joint resolution shall be signed 
by the presiding officers of both Houses and presented to the President 
for his signature (and otherwise treated for all purposes) in the manner 
provided for bills and joint resolutions generally.
  2. The matter after the resolving clause in any joint resolution 
described in clause 1 shall be as follows: ``That subsection (b) of 
section 3101 of title 31, United States Code, is amended by striking out 
the dollar limitation contained in such subsection and inserting in lieu 
thereof `$           '.'', with the blank being filled in with a 
limitation equal to the appropriate level of the public debt as set 
forth, pursuant to section 301(a)(5) of the Congressional Budget Act of 
1974, in the concurrent resolution on the budget (whether such 
resolution was adopted under section 301, 304, or 310 of such Act). Only 
one joint resolution shall be prepared under clause 1 upon the adoption 
of any concurrent resolution on the budget; and, if the concurrent 
resolution set forth a different appropriate level of the public debt 
(pursuant to such section 301(a)(5)) for each of two separate periods, 
the blank referred to in the preceding sentence shall be filled in with 
both the limitation which is to apply for the later of the two periods 
(specifying the date on which that limitation is to take effect) and the 
limitation which is to apply for the earlier of such periods.
  3. The report of the Committee on the Budget of the House of 
Representatives accompanying any concurrent resolution on the budget 
under section 301(d) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as well as 
the joint explanatory statement accompanying the conference report on 
any concurrent resolution on the budget, shall contain a clear statement 
of the effect under this rule that the adoption by both the House and 
the Senate of such concurrent resolution in the form in which it is 
being reported (and the adoption of the joint resolution thereupon 
prepared and enrolled under clause 1) would have upon the statutory 
limit on the public debt. It shall not be in order in the House of 
Representatives at any time to consider or adopt any concurrent 
resolution on the budget (or agree to any conference report thereon) if 
at that time the report accompanying such concurrent resolution (or the 
joint statement accompanying such conference report) does not comply 
with the requirements of this clause.
  4. Nothing in this rule shall be construed as limiting or otherwise 
affecting the power of the House of Representatives or the Senate to 
consider and pass a bill which (without regard to the procedures under 
clause 1) changes the statutory limit on the public debt most recently 
established under this rule or otherwise; and the rights of Members and 
committees of

[[Page 3236]]

the House with respect to the introduction, consideration, and reporting 
of any such bill shall be determined as though this rule had not been 
adopted.
  5. As used in this rule, the term ``statutory limit on the public 
debt'' means the maximum face amount of obligations issued under 
authority of chapter 31 of title 31, United States Code and obligations 
guaranteed as to principal and interest by the United States (except 
such guaranteed obligations as may be held by the Secretary of the 
Treasury), determined under section 3101(b) of title 31 after the 
application of section 3101(a) of title 31 which may be outstanding at 
any one time.

                                 Rule L

                   procedure for response to subpoenas

  1. When any Member, officer, or employee of the House of 
Representatives is properly served with a subpoena or other judicial 
order directing appearance as a witness relating to the official 
functions of the House or for the production or disclosure of any 
documents relating to the official functions of the House, such Member, 
officer, or employee shall comply, consistently with the privileges and 
rights of the House, with said subpoena or other judicial order as 
hereinafter provided, unless otherwise determined pursuant to the 
provisions of this rule.
  2. Upon receipt of a properly served subpoena or other judicial order 
directing appearance as a witness relating to the official functions of 
the House or for the production or disclosure of any documents relating 
to the official functions of the House, such Member, officer, or 
employee shall promptly notify, in writing, the Speaker of its receipt 
and such notification shall then be promptly laid before the House by 
the Speaker, except that during a period of recess or adjournment of 
longer than three days, no such notification to the House shall be 
required. However, upon the reconvening of the House, such notification 
shall then be promptly laid before the House by the Speaker.
  3. Once notification has been laid before the House, the Member, 
officer, or employee shall determine whether the issuance of the 
subpoena or other judicial order is a proper exercise of the court's 
jurisdiction, is material and relevant, and is consistent with the 
privileges and rights of the House. The Member, officer, or employee 
shall notify the Speaker prior to seeking judicial determination of 
these matters.
  4. Upon determination whether the subpoena or other judicial order is 
a proper exercise of the court's jurisdiction, is material and relevant, 
and is consistent with the privileges and rights of the House, the 
Member, officer, or employee shall immediately notify, in writing, the 
Speaker of such a determination.
  5. The Speaker shall inform the House of the determination of whether 
the subpoena or other judicial order is a proper exercise of the court's 
jurisdiction, is material and relevant, and is consistent with the 
privileges and rights of the House, and shall generally describe the 
records or information sought, except that during any recess or 
adjournment of the House for longer than three days, no such 
notification is required. However, upon the reconvening of the House, 
such notification shall then be promptly laid before the House by the 
Speaker.
  6. Upon such notification to the House that said subpoena is a proper 
exercise of the court's jurisdiction, is material and relevant, and is 
consistent with the privileges and rights of the House, the Member, 
officer, or employee shall comply with such subpoena or other judicial 
order by supplying certified copies, unless the House adopts a 
resolution to the contrary; except that under no circumstances shall any 
minutes or transcripts of executive sessions, or any evidence of 
witnesses in respect thereto, be disclosed or copied. Should the House 
be in recess or adjournment for longer than three days, the Speaker may 
authorize compliance or take such other action as he deems appropriate 
under the circumstances during the pendency of such recess or 
adjournment. And upon the reconvening of the House, all matters having 
transpired under this clause shall be laid promptly before the House by 
the Speaker.
  7. A copy of this rule shall be transmitted by the Clerk of the House 
to any of said courts whenever any such subpoena or other judicial order 
is issued and served on a Member, officer, or employee of the House.
  8. Nothing in this rule shall be construed to deprive, condition or 
waive the constitutional or legal rights applicable or available to any 
Member, officer, or employee of the House, or of the House itself, or 
the right of a Member or the House to assert such privilege or right 
before any court in the United States, or the right of the House 
thereafter to assert such privilege or immunity before any court in the 
United States.

decision of the Office. The panel shall complete the review and submit a 
written decision to the parties and to the Committee on House 
Administration not later than 30 days after filing of the request under 
subsection (a).

                    sec. 8. resolution by agreement.

authority because of the exercise of a right under this resolution is a 
violation of section 2.

              sec. 12. closed hearings and confidentiality.

  All hearings under this resolution shall be closed. All information 
relating to any procedure under this resolution is confidential, except 
that a decision of the Office under section 6 or a decision of a review 
panel under section 7 shall be published, if the decision constitutes a

                               (Para. 9.8)


a resolution to create a select committee to investigate allegations of 
  misconduct in the office of the postmaster and report to the house 
 thereon gives rise to a question of the privileges of the house under 
                                rule ix.

                                    

  On February 5, 1992, Mr. LEWIS of California rose to a question of 
the privileges of the House and sumbitted the following resolution (H. 
Res. 341):

       Resolved, That (a)(1) there is created a Select Committee 
     to Investigate Allegations Concerning the House Post Office 
     (hereinafter referred to as the ``select committee''), to be 
     composed of 10 members, 5 to be appointed by the Speaker and 
     5 by the minority leader, with each designating a cochairman 
     from his 5 appointments. Any reference in this resolution to 
     action taken by the cochairmen shall require the agreement of 
     both cochairmen. Any vacancy occurring in the membership of 
     the select committee shall be filled in the same manner in 
     which the original appointment was made.
       (2) The select committee shall conduct a full and complete 
     investigation and study, and make such findings as are 
     warranted, respecting the following allegations and matters;
       (A) Theft of Post Office moneys or property by Post Office 
     employees.
       (B) Use or distribution of illegal drugs by Post Office

       (F) All matters related, directly or indirectly, to 
     subparagraphs (A) through (E).
       (3) The select committee shall make recommendations to the 
     Speaker and minority leader regarding the implementation of 
     an improved system of oversight to prevent the repetition of 
     improper or illegal conduct in finds.
       (4) The select committee shall report to the Committee on 
     Standards of Official Conduct evidence of improper or illegal 
     conduct it finds by any Member, officer, or employee of the 
     House.
       (b) One-third of the members of the select committee shall 
     constitute a quorum for the transaction of business other 
     than the reporting of a matter, which shall require a 
     majority of the select committee to be actually present, 
     except that the select committee may designate a lesser 
     number, but not less than two, as a quorum for the purpose of 
     holding hearings to take testimony. The select committee may 
     sit while the House is reading a measure for amendment under 
     the five-minute rule. The rules of the House shall govern the 
     select committee where not inconsistent with this resolution. 
     The select committee shall adopt additional written rules, 
     which shall be public, to govern its procedures, which shall 
     not be inconsistent with this resolution or the rules of the 
     House. Such rules may govern the conduct of the depositions, 
     interviews, and hearings of the select committee, including 
     the persons present. Such rules shall provide for the 
     protection of classified information from unauthorized 
     disclosure.
       (c) The select committee is authorized to sit and act 
     during the present Congress at such times and places within 
     the United States, whether the House is in session, has 
     recessed, or has adjourned; and to require, by subpoena or 
     otherwise, the attendance and testimony of such witnesses, 
     the furnishing of information by interrogatory, and the 
     production of such books, records, correspondence, memoranda, 
     papers, documents, vouchers, audit reports, calendars, 
     recordings, data compilations from which information can be 
     obtained, tangible objects, and other things and information 
     of any kind as it deems necessary. Unless otherwise 
     determined by the select committee, the cochairmen, or the 
     select committee shall authorize and issue subpoenas. 
     Subpoenas shall be issued under the seal of the House and 
     attested by the Clerk, and may be served by any person 
     designated by the cochairmen or any member. The select 
     committee may request investigations, reports, and other 
     assistance from any agency of the legislative branch of the 
     Federal Government.
       (d) The select committee shall determine a method whereby 
     each cochairman shall preside at alternate meetings and

     members, vote to close a meeting or hearing.
       (e) The cochairmen, may employ and fix the compensation of 
     such clerks, experts, consultants, technicians, attorneys, 
     investigators, and clerical and stenographic assistants as 
     they consider necessary to carry out the purposes of this 
     resolution. The select committee shall be deemed a committee 
     of the House for all purposes of law. The select committee 
     may reimburse the members of its staff for travel, 
     subsistence, and other necessary expenses incurred by them in 
     the performance of the duties vested in the select committee, 
     other than expenses in connection with meetings of the select 
     committee held in the District of Columbia.
       (f) Unless otherwise determined by the select committee, 
     the cochairmen may authorize the taking of affidavits and of 
     depositions pursuant to notice or subpoena by at least 2 
     Members, under oath administered by a Member or a person 
     otherwise authorized by law to administer oaths. Depositions 
     shall be deemed to be taken in executive session.
       (g) The select committee shall be authorized to respond to 
     any judicial or other process, or to make any applications to

[[Page 3242]]

       (h) The select committee shall provide other committees and 
     Members of the House with access to information and 
     proceedings, consistent with rule XLVIII(7)(c). However, the 
     select committee may direct that particular matters or 
     classes of matter shall not be made available to any person 
     by its members, staff, or others, or may impose any other 
     restriction.
       (i) By July 1, 1992, the select committee shall report to 
     the House the status of its investigation. With respect to 
     this and any other report of the select committee, including

     September 1, 1992, the report may be accompanied by

     committee all records of the select committee shall become 
     the records of the Clerk.

  Mr. GEPHARDT moved to lay the resolution on the table.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House lay the resolution on the table?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MURTHA, announced that the yeas had it.

                        privileges of the house

                              (Para. 9.10)


a resolution alleging unauthorized intervention in judicial proceedings 
 by a committee employee gives rise to a question of the privileges of 
                        the house under rule ix.

                                    

  On February 5, 1992, Mr. McEWEN rose to a question of the privileges 
of the House and sumbitted the following resolution (H. Res. 342):

       Whereas on January 10, 1992, the chief counsel of the House 
     Committee on Foreign Affairs wrote to the U.S. District Court 
     for the Eastern District of New York requesting leniency in 
     the sentencing of Mr. Dirk Stoffberg, a convicted arms 
     dealer, on grounds that he had provided the committee with 
     evidence regarding the so-called ``October Surprise;''
       Whereas the chief counsel's letter was sent on committee 
     letterhead purporting to be on behalf of the ``House 
     Committee on Foreign Affairs . . . in an ongoing 
     investigation;''
       Whereas the U.S. District Court consequently granted the 
     request for a reduced sentence on grounds that, ``Comity 
     between independent branches of government suggests the 
     desirability of assisting Congress in its important work 
     where there is no strong conflict with a court's other 
     sentencing responsibilities;''
       Whereas the Federal District judge further indicated in his 
     sentencing ``Memorandum and Order'' that, ``were it not for 
     the intervention of Congress,'' the defendant would have been 
     sentenced to a longer term of imprisonment ``because he 
     threatened violence during the course of his criminal 
     activity;''
       Whereas neither the House, the Committee on Foreign Affairs 
     nor any subcommittee thereof has ever authorized an 
     investigation into the ``October Surprise'' allegations;
       Whereas the House Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group has not 
     authorized any intervention in the sentencing proceeding on 
     behalf of the House or any of its committees;
       Whereas at the time the chief counsel's letter was 
     submitted to the U.S. District Court a resolution authorizing 
     a special task force investigation into the ``October 
     Surprise'' allegations was still pending in the House and had 
     not yet been acted upon;
       Whereas the misrepresentations of the position of the House 
     and it committees in a judicial proceeding by an employee 
     affects the rights of the House collectively, its dignity, 
     and the integrity of its proceedings, and thereby raised a 
     question of the privileges of the House under Rule IX: Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the House Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group 
     (consisting of the Speaker, the majority and minority 
     leaders, and the majority and minority whips) is hereby 
     authorized and directed to inquire fully into the facts and 
     circumstances surrounding the intervention by the chief 
     counsel of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs in the 
     sentencing of Mr. Dirk Stoffberg by the U.S. District Court 
     for the Eastern District of New York and to submit to the 
     House at the earliest practicable date, but not later than 45 
     legislative days after the adoption of this resolution, its 
     findings thereon together with any actions taken or 
     recommendations made in response to such incident or to 
     prevent the recurrence of such unauthorized interventions in 
     judicial proceedings by House Members, officers, or 
     employees.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MURTHA, said:
  ``The resolution states a question of privilege.''.
  When said resolution was considered.
  During debate,

                            words taken down

                              (Para. 9.11)


   in the context of debate on a resolution alleging an unauthorized 
intervention with a federal district court concerning the sentencing of 
 a criminal defendant, remarks alluding to tampering with the judicial 
system by elected officials without attribution to a particular member 
                        are not unparliamentary.

                                    

  Mr. LIVINGSTON addressed the House and, during the course of his 
remarks,
  Mr. FASCELL demanded that certain words be taken down.
  The Clerk read the words taken down as follows:

  The criminal justice of this country is in danger when elected 
officials can tamper with the judicial system. And in this case, that 
is exactly what happened.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MURTHA, held the words taken down were 
in order, and said:
  ``The Chair will rule that since the gentleman from Louisiana [Mr. 
Livingston] is generically speaking and not specifically alleging 
improper conduct by any individual Member, the words are in order, in 
the context of this resolution.''.
  Mr. LIVINGSTON, by unanimous consent, requested that the word 
``elected'' be stricken from the Congressional Record.
  After further debate,
  Mr. GEPHARDT moved to lay the resolution on the table.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House lay the resolution on the table?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MURTHA, announced that the yeas had it.
  On a division demanded by Mr. WALKER, there appeared, yeas--13, 
nays--8.
  Mr. WALKER objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken 
by electronic device.

                             point of order

                              (Para. 9.18)


    a resolution establishing a task force of members of a standing 
   committee and providing for the payment of its expenses from the 
 contingent fund of the house is not subject to a point of order under 
clause 5(a) of rule xi for lack of report language detailing the amount 
 to be provided because the exception in clause 5(c) of that rule for 
 interim funding of entities applies from the beginning of a calendar 
 year until adoption of a primary expense resolution for such entities 
                        for that calendar year.

                                    

the house laid on the table an appeal from a ruling of the speaker pro 
                                tempore.

                                    

  On February 5, 1992, Mr. DERRICK, pursuant to House Resolution 303, 
called up the following resolution (H. Res. 258):

       Resolved, That (1) There is hereby created a Task Force of 
     Members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs to 
     Investigate Certain Allegations Concerning the Holding of 
     Americans as Hostages by Iran in 1980, to be composed of 
     thirteen Members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs to 
     be appointed by the Speaker, one of whom he shall designate 
     as chairman. The Speaker shall, with respect to the 
     Republican Members of the Task Force, make such appointments 
     upon consultation with the Republican Leader. Any vacancy 
     occurring in the membership of the Task Force shall be filled 
     in the same manner in which the original appointment was 
     made. The Task Force is, with respect to the matters 
     described below, authorized and directed to conduct a full 
     and complete investigation and study, and to make such 
     findings as are warranted, includ- 

[[Page 3243]]

     ing, where appropriate, a finding that no credible evidence 
     can be found to support particular allegations. The Task 
     Force is further authorized and directed to make such 
     recommendations to the Committee on Foreign Affairs as the 
     Task Force deems appropriate, including those concerning the 
     amendment of existing legislation or the enactment of new 
     legislation. The Task Force shall fulfill these functions 
     with respect to the following matters:
       (a) Communications by or on behalf of the 1980 Reagan 
     Presidential Campaign, or individuals representing or 
     associated with that campaign, with any person or persons 
     representing or associated with the Iranian Government or 
     those persons with Iran holding Americans as Hostages during 
     1979 and 1980;
       (b) Any attempt or proposal to attempt, by the 1980 Reagan 
     Presidential Campaign or persons representing or associated 
     with that campaign, to delay the release of the Americans 
     held as hostages in Iran;
       (c) Any activity by the 1980 Reagan Presidential Campaign 
     to acquire or disseminate any information relating to actions 
     being taken or considered by the United States Government in 
     an effort to obtain the release of the Americans being held 
     as hostages in Iran;
       (d) Any sale or other transmittal of arms, spare parts or 
     other assistance to Iran, in 1980 or thereafter, by any 
     person or nation, intended to delay the release of the 
     American held as Hostages by Iran, and any approval, 
     acquiescence or knowledge of such sales or transmittals by 
     the 1980 Reagan Presidential Campaign or persons representing 
     or associated with that campaign; and
       (e) Any actions taken to keep any communications or actions 
     as described above, if any such communications or actions 
     took place, from being revealed to the Government of the 
     United States or the American people.
       (2) One-third of the members of the Task Force shall 
     constitute a quorum for the transaction of business other 
     than the reporting of a matter, which shall require a 
     majority of the Task Force to be actually present, except 
     that the Task Force may designate a lesser number, but not 
     less than two, as a quorum for the purpose of holding 
     hearings to take testimony. When a quorum for any particular 
     purpose is present, general proxies may be counted for that 
     purpose. The Task Force may sit while the House is reading a 
     measure for amendment under the five-minute rule. The rules 
     of the House shall govern the Task Force where not 
     inconsistent with this resolution. The Task Force shall adopt 
     additional written rules, which shall be public, to govern 
     its procedures, which shall not be inconsistent with this 
     resolution or the rules of the House. Such rules may govern 
     the conduct of the depositions, interviews, and hearings of 
     the Task Force, including the persons present. Such rules 
     shall provide for the protection of classified information 
     from unauthorized disclosure.
       (3) The Task Force is authorized to sit and act during the 
     present Congress at such times and places within the United

     in any other country, whether the House is in session, or has 
     adjourned; to require, by subpoena or otherwise, the 
     attendance and testimony of such witnesses, the furnishing of 
     information by interrogatory, and the production of such 
     books, records, correspondence, memoranda, papers, documents, 
     calendars, recordings, data compilations from which 
     information can be obtained, tangible objects, and other 
     things and information of any kind as it deems necessary, 
     including all intelligence materials however classified, 
     White House materials, campaign materials, materials of 
     present and former government officials and materials 
     pertaining to unvouchered expenditures or concerning 
     communications interceptions or surveillance; and to obtain

     of their governments and by letters rogatory, commissions, 
     field depositions and other appropriate mechanisms. Unless 
     otherwise determined by the Task Force the chairman, upon 
     consultation with the ranking Republican member, on the Task 
     Force, shall authorize and issue subpoenas. Subpoenas shall

     take testimony, vote to close a meeting or hearing.
       (5) The Chairman, upon consultation with the ranking 
     Republican member, may employ and fix the compensation of 
     such clerks, experts, consultants, technicians, attorneys, 
     investigators, and clerical and stenographic assistants as it 
     considers necessary to carry out the purposes of this 
     resolution. The Task Force shall be deemed a committee of the 
     House for all purposes of law, including House Rule XI 
     (2)(n), and sections 6005, 1505, and 1621 of title 18, 
     section 192 of title 2, 1754(b)(1)(B)(ii) of title 22, and

     Force may reimburse the members of its staff for travel, 
     subsistence, and other necessary expenses incurred by them in 
     the performance of the duties vested in the Task Force, other 
     than expenses in connection with meetings of the Task Force

     Force for the Task Force's use. Depositions shall be deemed 
     to be taken in Executive Session.
       (7) The Task Force shall be authorized to respond to any

     Members of the House with access to information and 
     proceedings, consistent with rule XLVIII(7)(c): Provided, 
     That the Task Force may direct that particular matters or 
     classes of matter shall not be made available to any person 
     by its members, staff, or others, or may impose any other 
     restriction. The Task Force may require its staff to enter 
     nondisclosure agreements and its chairman, in consultation 
     with the ranking Republican member, may require others, such 
     as counsel for witnesses, to do so: Provided further, That 
     the Task Force shall, as appropriate, provide access to 
     information and proceedings to the Speaker, the Majority 
     Leader, the Republican Leader, and their appropriately 
     cleared and designated staff.

     House the status of its investigation. With respect to this 
     and any other report of the Task Force, including its final 
     report, the report shall be accompanied by supplemental or 
     additional minority views.
       (11) At the conclusion of the existence of the Task Force 
     all records of the Task Force shall become the records of the

     relating to intelligence matters which shall, upon the Task 
     Force's designation, become the records of the House 
     Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

  Pursuant to House Resolution 303, the amendment recommended by the 
Committee on Rules, as modified by the amendment recommended by the 
Committee on House Administration was considered as adopted.
  Pending consideration of said resolution,

                             point of order

                              (Para. 9.19)

  Mr. McEWEN made a point of order against the resolution, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, House rule XI, clause 5(a) provides that whenever a 
committee, commission or other entity is to be granted authorization 
for the payment from the contingent fund of the House of its expenses 
in any year, `such authorization initially shall be procured by one 
primary expense resolution for the committee, commission or other 
entity.'
  ``The rule goes on to require that `any such primary expense 
resolution reported to the House shall not be considered in the House 
unless a printed report on that resolution' shall `state the total 
amount of the funds to be provided to the committee, commission or 
other entity under the primary expense resolution for all anticipated 
activities and programs * * *.'
  ``Mr. Speaker, it is my assumption that this resolution, which was 
reported by the House Administration and authorizes the payment of 
expenses from the contingent fund, is the primary expense resolution 
for the task force. And yet the committee report on this resolution, 
House Report 102-296, part II, does not `state the total amount of 
funds to be provided' as required by rule XI, clause 5(a).
  ``If, on the other hand, it is argued that House Resolution 258 is 
not a primary expense resolution, then it is not in order since House 
rule XI, clause 5(a) requires that whenever any entity such as this 
task force is to be granted authorization for the payment of expenses 
from the contingent fund, and I quote, `such authorization initially 
shall be procured by one primary expense resolution for the committee, 
commission or other entity.' In other words, this resolution is not in 
order

[[Page 3244]]

until after a primary expense resolution has be adopted by this House.
  ``I urge that my point of order be sustained.''.
  Mr. DERRICK was recongnized to speak to the point of order, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, under clause 5(c), the funds will be provided to the 
Committee on Foreign Affairs and they will, in turn, provide the funds 
to the subcommittee, I mean to the committee that we are establishing.
  ``Mr. Speaker, the House Administration Committee, in its forthcoming 
resolution, will provide funds to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and 
they will provide it to the committee that is being estabished. And 
this authority is provided under 5(c).''.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. OBEY, overruled the point of order, and 
said:
  ``The gentleman from Ohio [Mr. McEwen], in a point of order, suggests 
to the House that under rule XI, clause 5(a), there needs to be a total 
amount stated in the report of the Committee on House Administration 
for funding of the task force, and the Chair would simply point out 
that the primary expense resolution for the ecommittee on Foreign 
Affairs and all other committees will be reported to the House later 
this year.
  ``As the gentleman from South Carolina [Mr. Derrick] has attempted to 
point out to the House, clause 5(c) of rule XI reads as follows:

       The preceding provisions of this clause do not apply to--
       (1) any resolution providing for the payment from the 
     contingent fund of the House of sums necessary to pay 
     compensation for staff services performed for, or to pay 
     other expenses of, any committee, commission or other entity 
     at any time from and after the beginning of any year and 
     before the date of adoption by the House of the primary 
     expense resolution providing funds to pay the expenses of 
     that committee, commission or other entity for that year.

  ``It is the ruling of the Chair at this time that the task force 
comes under that exception. The task force is a subunit of the 
Committee on Foreign Affairs and not a separate entity.
  ``The point of order is, therefore, overruled.''.
  Mr. WALKER appealed the ruling of the Chair.
  Mr. DERRICK moved to lay the appeal on the table.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House lay on the table the appeal of the ruling of the 
Chair?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. OBEY, announced that the yeas had it.
  On a division demanded by Mr. WALKER, there appeared, yeas--19, 
nays--21.
  Mr. DERRICK objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken 
by electronic device.

             privileges of the house--return of senate bill

                              (Para. 17.21)


 a resolution asserting that a senate-passed bill contains provisions 
raising revenue in derogation of the constitutional prerogative of the 
     house to originate such bills gives rise to a question of the 
privileges of the house under rule ix. the house returned to the senate 
    a senate-passed bill requiring the president to impose economic 
sanctions including import restrictions against countries that fail to 
                 eliminate largescale driftnet fishing.

                                    

  On February 25, 1992, Mr. ROSTENKOWSKI rose to a question of the 
privileges of the House and submitted the following privileged 
resolution (H. Res. 373):

       Resolved, That the bill of the Senate (S. 884) to require 
     the President to impose economic sanctions against countries 
     that fail to eliminate large-scale driftnet fishing, in the 
     opinion of this House, contravenes the 1st clause of the 7th 
     section of the 1st article of the Constitution of the United 
     States and is an infringement of the privileges of this House 
     and that such a bill be respectfully returned to the Senate 
     with a message communicating this resolution.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, recognized Mr. ROSTENKOWSKI for 
one hour.
  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. ROSTENKOWSKI, the previous question was ordered on 
the resolution to its adoption or rejection, and under the operation 
thereof, the resolution was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby the resolution was agreed to 
was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.

                             point of order

                              (Para. 18.5)


 the committee on rules may, without violating clause 4(b) of rule xi, 
 recommend a special order that limits but does not wholly preclude a 
motion to recommit after the previous question is ordered on passage of 
 a bill or joint resolution, such as one providing that the motion may 
                       not contain instructions.

                                    

clause 4 of rule xvi does not guarantee that a motion to recommit after 
    the previous question is ordered on passage of a bill or joint 
              resolution always may include instructions.

                                    

    a special order that does not preclude altogether the motion to 
 recommit does not ``prevent the motion to recommit from being made as 
                  provided in clause 4 of rule xvi.''

                                    

the house laid on the table an appeal from a ruling of the speaker pro 
                                tempore.

                                    

  On February 26, 1992, Mr. DERRICK, by direction of the Committee on 
Rules, called up the following resolution (H. Res. 374):

       Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this 
     resolution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule 
     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the State of the Union for the consideration 
     of the bill (H.R. 4210) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 
     1986 to provide incentives for increased economic growth and 
     to provide tax relief for families, and the first reading of 
     the bill shall be dispensed with. All points of order against 
     consideration of the bill are hereby waived. After general 
     debate, which shall be confined to the bill and the 
     amendments made in order by this resolution and which shall 
     not exceed two hours, to be equally divided and controlled by 
     the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
     Ways and Means, the bill shall be considered as having been 
     read for amendment under the five-minute rule. Immediately 
     upon the conclusion of the general debate and notwithstanding 
     any rule of the House, the Chair shall put the question, 
     without further debate, on adopting an amendment in the 
     nature of substitute consisting of the text of the bill H.R. 
     4210. No further amendment to the bill shall be in order 
     except the following amendments in this order: (1) an 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the 
     text of the bill H.R. 4200 as modified by the amendment in 
     section 2 of this resolution, to be offered by Representative 
     Michel of Illinois or Representative Archer of Texas or their 
     designee; and (2) an amendment in the nature of a substitute 
     consisting of the text of the bill H.R. 4287, to be offered 
     by Representative Rostenkowski of Illinois or his designee. 
     Both amendments shall be considered as having been read and 
     shall not be subject to amendment. Each amendment shall be 
     debatable for not to exceed one hour, to be equally divided 
     and controlled by the proponent and a Member opposed thereto. 
     All points of order against each amendment in the nature of a 
     substitute are hereby waived. If more than one amendment in 
     the nature of a substitute is adopted, only the last such 
     amendment which is adopted shall be considered as finally 
     adopted in the Committee of the Whole and reported back to 
     the House. At the conclusion of the consideration of the bill 
     for amendment, the Committee shall rise and report the bill 
     to the House with such amendment as may have

[[Page 3246]]

     been adopted, and the previous question shall be considered 
     as having been ordered on the bill and amendment thereto 
     final passage without intervening motion except one motion to 
     recommit, which may not contain instructions.
       Sec. 2. At the end of line 25, page 14 of H.R. 4200, insert 
     the following new sentence: ``Notwithstanding any other 
     provision of this chapter, in the case of a taxpayer other 
     than a corporation, any amount treated as ordinary income 
     under this subsection shall be subject to tax at a rate not 
     in excess of 28 percent.''. 

  Pending consideration of said resolution,

                             point of order

                              (Para. 18.6)

  Mr. SOLOMON made a point of order against said resolution, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order against the consideration of 
House Resolution 374 on grounds that it is in violation of clause 4(b) 
of House rule XI, and ask to be heard on my point of order.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I regret that I must again rise to make this point of 
order that the minority's right to offer a motion to recommit of its 
choosing is being violated. I thought I had assurances from your 
leadership that this right would not be further abridged pending a 
promised Rules Committee inquiry into the legislative history behind 
this rule.
  ``Mr. Speaker, as you will recall, on January 3, 1991, I transmitted 
to you, the majority leader, and the chairman and other members of the 
Rules Committee a 48-page report prepared by our Rules Committee 
minority staff entitled, `The Motion to Recommit in the U.S. House of 
Representatives: The Rape of a Minority Right.'
  ``That paper traces the legislative history and the intent behind the 
two rules at issue here, which were adopted by the House back in 1909.
  ``In essence, Mr. Speaker, that report documents that the two rules 
were specifically adopted to permit the minority the right to offer a 
motion to recommit of its own choosing, including one with 
instructions, so that it could go get a final vote on its position.
  ``Mr. Speaker, that report goes on to conclude that a 1934 precedent 
that has been relied on to deny the minority a right to offer 
recommittal instructions of its choosing was strongly decided and 
should be reversed.
  ``In my letter to the Speaker, I urged that the majority reconsider 
its policy of denying instructions in motions to recommit, and I quote:

       Thereby avoid future confrontations and points of order 
     over such a fundamental guarantee of fairness.

  ``It was my hope that on the basis of the clear historic record 
behind this rule and guarantee that the Committee on Rules would not 
deny us our immutable right in this 102d Congress. We were promised 
that. Unfortunately, that was not the case here today.
  ``Mr. Speaker, clause (b) of House rule XI provides, and I quote:

       The Committee on Rules shall not report any rule or order 
     of business which would prevent the motion to recommit from 
     being made as provided in clause 4 of rule XVI.

  ``That is the rule of this House. That is the rule that we live by 
and we have lived by for 80 years, and clause 4 of rule XVI provides, 
and again I quote, `After the previous question shall have been ordered 
on the passage of a bill or joint resolution, one motion to recommit,' 
and I am quoting, `shall be in order, and the Speaker,' Mr. Speaker, 
listen, `the Speaker shall give preference in recognition for such 
purpose to a Member who is opposed to the bill or the joint 
resolution.'
  ``Mr. Speaker, those two clauses were adopted as amendments to House 
rules on March 15, 1909, when the minority party, Democrat, that is 
right, they were in the minority, it may have been the last time they 
were in the minority, joined with a group of insurgent Republicans, can 
Members imagine, to guarantee greater minority rights. And yes, would 
it not be nice if Democrats and Republicans were joining together today 
on this economic growth package? God forbid, I guess.
  ``Mr. Speaker, prior to this rule's revision, the motion to recommit 
was controlled by the majority party and the minority had no rights. 
This change was instituted for the specific purpose of giving the 
minority a final vote on its alternative legislative proposal through a 
motion to recommit with instructions.
  ``That is so every Member, 435 Members, can have some say, some input 
into legislation.
  ``The rule before us right now, on the other hand, provides that the 
motion to recommit, and I quote, `may not contain instructions.' That 
means we cannot have a motion to recommit with or without instructions.
  ``It is, therefore, in direct violation of this rule, which was 
purposely designed to guarantee the minority a vote on its final 
proposition by way of instructions.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I will not again take your time and the time of this 
House to quote speaker after speaker after speaker over the last 80 
years who have ruled that the House, that this whole purpose of this 
rule was to protect the right of the minority to offer its final 
proposition to a bill.
  ``Mr. Speaker, that is just a plain fact that cannot be denied or 
ruled away by the way of the Speaker's gavel.
  ``Mr. Speaker, if the Chair overrules my point of order today, not 
only is the minority being denied the right to offer a final amendment 
to the bill, it is even being denied the right to offer general 
instructions that the Committee on Ways and Means, and listen to this, 
reconsider this bill with a view to developing a bipartisan compromise.
  ``Mr. Speaker, that completely flies in the face not only of the 
legislative history behind this rule but of common sense and common 
decency.
  ``Mr. Speaker, the motion to recommit may be the last opportunity to 
sal- 
vage an economic growth program in this Congress this year. Without 
instructions, a straight motion to recommit by implication kills the 
bill. I hope my colleagues are listening over there. It kills the bill.
  ``But with instructions, the House would have an opportunity to tell 
the Committee on Ways and Means to get back to work.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I strongly urge that the Chair not render this 
important minority right completely null and void by overruling my 
point of order. Leave this institution with some measure of dignity and 
respect for the rights of the minority.
  ``Mr. Speaker, as Speaker of this House you are required by the rules 
of this House and by the tradition of this body and, above all else, 
out of fairness to represent all of the Members of this House, and it 
is on behalf of all 435 Members of this House on both sides of the 
aisle that I respectfully ask to have my point of order sustained.''.
  Mr. DERRICK was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, the gentleman makes the point of order that the 
resolution is not in order because it limits the motion to recommit in 
violation of clause 4(b) of rule XI.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I respectfully disagree and ask the Chair to overrule 
the point of order.
  ``Clause 4(b) of rule XI prohibits the Committee on Rules from 
reporting a rule `which would prevent the motion to recommit from being 
made as provided in clause 4 of rule XVI.'
  ``Mr. Speaker, House Resolution 374 does not propose to prevent the 
minority from offering a motion to recommit, so it does not violate 
clause 4(b) of rule XI.
  ``It is now very well established under the precedents that the 
Committee on Rules may recommend special orders of business limiting 
instructions on the motion to recommit.
  ``This point was reaffirmed as recently as November 25, 1991, on June 
4, 1991, and also on October 16, 1990, when the House tabled by a vote 
of 251 to 171 an appeal of the Speaker pro tempore Murtha's overruling 
of a point identical to that raised by my Republican friend today.
  ``In a ruling on January 11, 1934, the Speaker Mr. Rainey stated 
that:

       The Committee on Rules may, without violating this clause, 
     recommend a special order which limits but does not totally 
     prohibit a motion to recommit pending passage of a bill or 
     joint resolution such as precluding a motion containing 
     instructions relative to certain amendments.

  ``Mr. Speaker, the precedents are clear and unequivocal. If a special 
order of business does not deprive the minority of its right to offer a 
simple motion to recommit the bill or joint resolution under 
consideration, then it does not violate clause 4(b) of rule XI. As the 
Speaker pro tempore noted on October 16, 1990, clause 4 of rule XVI 
does not guarantee that a motion to recommit a bill may always include 
instructions.

[[Page 3247]]

  ``I urge the point of order be overruled.''.
  Mr. WALKER was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from South Carolina [Mr. Derrick] has 
cited specific instances from the last few minutes as precedents for 
suggesting how the Chair should rule today. The gentleman from New York 
[Mr. Solomon] makes an absolutely valid point the Chair ought to take 
into consideration.
  ``At the time those rulings were made there was real question 
expressed about whether or not this was an appropriate course to be 
taken. The leadership of this House felt it was so questionable that 
they agreed to study it. The gentleman from New York received 
assurances that we would not proceed along this path until we had 
studied this matter and found out what the rights of the minority 
should be in these kinds of instances.
  ``Now what we have happening is that the very items that were 
considered questionable enough to call for that kind of study in the 
past are being cited as precedents for the Chair today.
  ``If the Chair ever wants to know why the minority feels at times 
that there is a dictatorial sense about the direction in which we are 
moving, this is a perfect example of where we have outrageous rulings 
which are questionable, which even the leadership questions, and then 
have those later on cited as precedents for action.
  ``That is precisely what is taking place here. I would hope that the 
Chair would not continue to rule in a manner which undermines minority 
rights.''.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MURTHA, overruled the point of order, 
and said:
  ``The Chair is prepared to rule.
  ``The gentleman from New York makes a point of order against House 
Resolution 374 on the ground that it violates clause 4(b) of rule XI, 
which provides that the Committee on Rules shall not report any rule or 
order of business that would prevent the motion to recommit from being 
made as provided in clause 4 of rule XVI.
  ``Clause 4 of rule XVI provides for one motion to recommit a bill or 
joint resolution after the previous question is ordered on final 
passage, with preference in recognition going to a Member who is 
opposed to the bill or joint resolution.
  ``The pending resolution provides that the motion to recommit H.R. 
4210 pending the question of its passage may not contain instructions. 
It does not impair a simple motion to recommit.
  ``The precedent of October 16, 1990, is precisely on point. On that 
occasion the Committee on Rules had reported a special order of 
business that precluded the inclusion of instructions in the motion to 
recommit a bill pending the question of its passage. The present 
occupant of the Chair overruled the point of order, relying on 
precedents of the House--specifically the ruling of Speaker Rainey on 
January 11, 1934--holding that the Committee on Rules does not violate 
clause 4(b) of rule XI so long as it does not deprive the minority of 
the right to offer a simple motion to recommit.
  ``Under the precedents a special order that does not preclude a 
simple motion to recommit does not `prevent the motion to recommit from 
being made as provided in clause 4 of rule XVI.' Clause 4 of rule XVI 
does not guarantee that a motion to recommit after the previous 
question is ordered on passage of a bill or joint resolution may always 
include instructions.
  ``The pending resolution does not `prevent the motion to recommit 
from being made as provided in clause 4 of rule XVI.' The Chair will 
follow the precedent of October 16, 1990. The point of order is 
overruled.''.
  Mr. SOLOMON appealed the ruling of the Chair.
  Mr. DERRICK moved to lay the appeal on the table.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House lay on the table the appeal of the ruling of the 
Chair?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MURTHA, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. SOLOMON objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not

                             point of order

                              (Para. 19.5)


Under clause 2 of rule XIV recognition is wholly within the discretion 
   of the Chair, who may decline to recognize a Member to propound a 
      unanimous-consent request relating to an order of business.

                                    

  On February 27, 1992, Mr. TRAFICANT rose to a point of order 
resulting from the Chair's denial of recognition, and said:
  ``I would like to know under what rule of the House such action by 
the Chair is taken.''.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, overruled the point of order, 
and said:
  ``Clause 2, rule XIV.''.

                             point of order

                              (Para. 19.7)


     a motion to recommit a bill to a standing committee with the 
recommendation that it amend the bill in an open and bipartisan manner 
 with a view toward producing legislation the president could sign is 
                impermissible in both form and content.

                                    

neither rule xvi nor rule xvii (nor any other rule or precedent of the 
house) recognizes a form of motion to recommit ``with recommendation.''

                                    

a motion to recommit may not include matter that might be construed as 
                               argument.

                                    

a motion to recommit may not include, by preamble or otherwise, matter 
                        in the nature of debate.

                                    

   under clause 4 of rule xvi the motion to recommit a bill or joint 
 resolution after the previous question is ordered on final passage is 
       rendered debatable only by the inclusion of instructions.

                                    

 a special rule providing that the motion to recommit a bill after the 
     previous question is ordered on its passage ``may not contain 
instructions'' is interpreted to guarantee a simple motion to recommit.

                                    

  On February 27, 1992, the bill (H.R. 4210) to amend the Internal 
Revenue Code of 1986 to provide incentives for increased economic 
growth and to provide tax relief for families; was ordered to be 
engrossed and read a third time and was read a third time by title.
  Mr. ARCHER moved to recommit the bill to the Committee on Ways and 
Means with the recommendation that it amend the bill in an open and 
bipartisan manner with a view to producing legislation the President 
can sign that will provide economic stimulus and job creation 
incentives without increasing taxes or the deficit.
  Pending consideration of said motion,

[[Page 3248]]

                             point of order

                              (Para. 19.16)

  Mr. ROSTENKOWSKI made a point of order against the motion to 
recommit, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, I make point of order against the motion to recommit 
because it is a motion that is allowed neither under the rule, now 
under the rules of the House.''.
  Mr. ARCHER was recognized to speak to the point of order, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, under House Resolution 374, the rule providing for the 
consideration of H.R. 4210, one motion to recommit is allowed which may 
not contain instructions.
  ``The motion to recommit which I have offered is in compliance with 
that proviso: I have offered a motion to recommit which does not 
contain instructions. It simply contains a recommendation that the Ways 
and Means Committee do certain things. The committee is under no 
mandate to do so as it would be if it were subject to instructions from 
the House.
  ``And let me make very clear that there is a distinct difference 
between an instruction and a recommendation. According to Webster's New 
World Dictionary, an instruction is, and I quote, `a command or order,' 
and in the plural, `details of procedure; directions.'
  ``A recommendation, on the other hand, is `the act * * * of calling 
attention to a person or thing as suited for some purpose; advice or 
counsel.' In summary, Mr. Speaker, an instruction is a mandatory 
command, while a recommendation is a discretionary giving of advice.
  ``Mr. Speaker, the Chair ruled yesterday that there is nothing in 
House rule XVI, clause 4, that guarantees the right of the minority to 
offer instructions in a motion to recommit. Using that same logic, 
there is nothing in that clause which prohibits the minority from 
offering a recommendation in the motion to recommit.
  ``It is true that House rule XVII does provide that pending the 
motion for the previous question or after it is ordered on the passage 
of a measure, it is in order for the Speaker, and I quote, `to 
entertain and submit a motion to commit, with or without instructions, 
to a standing or select committee.' That rule clearly allows for only 
one of two types of motions to recommit: a straight motion and one with 
instructions.
  ``However, we are not operating under rule XVII today since the rule 
does not allow for a previous question motion on the passage of this 
bill. Under the rule for this bill, House Resolution 374, the previous 
question is considered to have been automatically ordered. We are, 
therefore, clearly operating instead under House rule XVI which 
provides that, and I quote, `After the previous question shall have 
been ordered on a bill or joint resolution one motion to recommit shall 
be in order, and the Speaker shall give preference in recognition for 
such purpose to a Member who is opposed to the bill or joint 
resolution.'
  ``Nowhere in that rule is the Member confined to offering either a 
straight motion to recommit or one with instructions. It does provide 
that if a motion to recommit with instructions is offered, there shall 
be 10 minutes of debate on the motion. All that means is that such 
debate may not take place on a straight motion or on the motion to 
recommit with recommendation which I have offered.
  ``Finally, I would emphasize, Mr. Speaker, that the motion to 
recommit under rule XVI was intentionally adopted in 1909, to provide 
the minority an opportunity to express its final position on a bill. 
While we are precluded by the rule from either amendatory or general 
instructions, this motion to recommit with recommendation is consistent 
with the original intent of the rule to give us a last chance to offer 
our position. I urge the Chair to allow this motion as the right of the 
minority.''.
  The SPEAKER sustained the point of order, and said:
  ``The gentleman from Illinois [Mr. Rostenkowski] makes a point of 
order against the motion to recommit H.R. 4210 offered by the gentleman 
from Texas [Mr. Archer] on the ground that it includes language 
recommending that the Committee on Ways and Means `amend the bill in an 
open and bipartisan manner with a view toward producing legislation the 
President can sign.'
  ``The motion to recommit a bill to a standing committee is addressed 
in specific and general terms in clause 4 of rule XVI and clause 1 of 
rule XVII. Both rules contemplate that the motion may in some 
circumstances include instructions. Clause 4 of rule XVI states that 
`with respect to any motion to recommit with instructions * * * it 
shall always be in order to debate such motion for 10 minutes * * *.' 
Clause 1 of rule XVII states that pending the motion for the previous 
question the Speaker may entertain a motion to commit, `with or without 
instructions * * *.'
  ``Neither rule XVI nor rule XVII--nor any other rule of the House--
recognizes a form of motion to recommit `with recommendation.' Rule XVI 
and the precedents of the House do not admit motions other than those 
mentioned in and made in order by the rules of the House.
  ``Moreover, the precedents hold that argument is not in order in a 
motion to recommit. On this point the Chair is guided by the ruling of 
Speaker Gillet on November 29, 1922, substaining a point of order 
against a motion to recommit with instructions that included 
descriptive matter that might be construed as agrumentative. That 
ruling is recorded in volume 8 of Cannon's precedents, at section 2749. 
Similarly, on June 3, 1882, Speaker Keifer held that a motion to 
recommit should not contain matter in the nature of debate, by preamble 
or otherwise. That rules is recorded in volume 5 of Hinds' precedents, 
at section 5589.
  ``The cited precedents are consistent with the principle in clause 4 
of rule XVI that the motion to recommit a bill or joint resolution 
after the previous question is ordered on final passage is rendered 
debatable only by the inclusion of instructions.
  ``Finally the Chair would refer to the ruling of yesterday, February 
26, 1992. The gentleman from New York [Mr. Solomon] made a point of 
order against House Resolution 374 on the ground that it violates 
clause 4(b) of rule XI, which provides that the Committee on Rules 
shall not report any rule or order of business that would prevent the 
motion to recommit from being made as provided in clause 4 of rule XVI. 
The Chair held that the Committee on Rules does not violate clause 4(b) 
of rule XI so long as it does not deprive the minority of the right to 
offer a simple motion to recommit. In making that ruling the Chair 
expressly stated that House Resolution 374 properly guaranteed a simple 
motion to recommit.
  ``The motion to recommit offered by the gentleman from Texas [Mr. 
Archer] includes matter that might properly be construed as argument. 
As such, it is not a proper motion and is held out of order.''.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House pass said bill?
  Mr. ROSTENKOWSKI demanded that the vote be taken by the yeas and 
nays, which demand was supported by one-fifth of the Members present, 
so the yeas and nays were ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device.

It was decided in the

                        privileges of the house

                              (Para. 27.14)


 a resolution reported as privileged by the committee on standards of 
  official conduct and resolving that the committee be authorized to 
disclose names and pertinent account information of members and former 
 members found by that committee to have abused the privileges of the 
 bank operated by the office of the sergeant-at-arms (after affording 
  each an opportunity to be heard before its subcommittee of inquiry) 
 gives rise to a question of the privileges of the house under rule ix.

                                    

  On March 12, 1992, Mr. McHUGH, by direction of the Committee on 
Standards of Official Conduct and the order of the House agreed to 
earlier that day, called up the following privileged resolution (H. 
Res. 393):


                                    

       Whereas House Resolution 236 directed the Committee on 
     Standards of Official Conduct to review the use and 
     management of the Bank of the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House 
     of Representatives for the period July 1, 1988 to October 3, 
     1991;

[[Page 3249]]

       Whereas, after reviewing the operations of the House Bank 
     and account information of Members, the Committee on 
     Standards of Official Conduct has reported to the House that 
     it has identified the accounts of Members and former Members 
     who, on the basis of such review, abused the banking 
     privileges during such period by routinely and repeatedly 
     writing checks for which their accounts did not have, by a 
     significant amount, sufficient funds on deposit to cover; and
       Whereas that Committee has recommended that, after such 
     Members and former Members have had the opportunity to be 
     heard by the Subcommittee which conducted the inquiry, the 
     names and pertinent account information of those Members and 
     former Members who the Committee finds have abused the 
     banking privileges be publicly disclosed: Now, therefore, be 
     it
       Resolved, That, after the expiration of ten days following 
     adoption of this Resolution by the House, and after giving 
     such individuals an opportunity to be heard by the 
     Subcommittee which conducted the inquiry, the Committee on 
     Standards of Official Conduct is authorized to publicly 
     disclose the name and pertinent account information of any 
     Member or former Member who the Committee finds, pursuant to 
     House Resolution 236, has abused the banking privileges 
     during the period July 1, 1988 to October 3, 1991; and be it 
     further
       Resolved, That the pertinent account information to be 
     publicly disclosed for such period shall be the following: 
     the number of insufficient funds checks written; the 
     particular timeframe during which those checks were written; 
     the number of such checks that the House Bank returned to the 
     Member; the number of nonaccount checks that were cashed or 
     caused to be deposited to the Member's account with 
     insufficient funds to cover them; and the number of months 
     that the negative balance in the Member's account exceeded 
     the next month's net salary deposit; and be it further
       Resolved, That the Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct is directed to provide to any Member or former Member 
     who so requests it in writing on or before December 31, 1992, 
     the following information regarding the account of such 
     Member or former Member at the House Bank during the period 
     July 1, 1988 to October 3, 1991; the number of insufficient 
     funds checks written; the particular time-frame during which 
     those checks were written; and, where the information is 
     available to the Committee, the number of months that the 
     negative balance in the account exceeded the next month's net 
     salary deposit.

 a resolution directing the committee on standards of official conduct 
  to make public not sooner than 10 days after completion of another 
 disclosure mandated by a previous order of the house the name of each 
 member or former member who drew checks against insufficient funds in 
   the bank operated by the office of the sergeant-at-arms during a

  each, gives rise to a question of the privileges of the house under 
                                rule ix.

                                    

  On March 12, 1992, Mr. GEPHARDT, pursuant to the special order agreed

     Standards of Official Conduct to review the use and 
     management of the Bank of the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House 
     of Representatives for the period July 1, 1988 to October 3, 
     1991;
       Whereas the House has adopted H. Res. 393 relating to the 
     release of account information for certain Members and former 
     members: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That not less than ten days after the Committee 
     completes the public disclosure ordered by the House in H. 
     Res. 393, the Committee is directed to make public the 
     following information regarding the account of each Member or 
     former Member at the House Bank during the period July 1, 
     1988 to October 3, 1991: the name of any such Member or 
     former Member and the number of insufficient fund checks 
     written.

                              (Para. 27.20)


a resolution instructing the speaker, the sergeant-at-arms, the general 
    accounting office (and other bodies under his control), and the 
committee on standards of official conduct to effect full and accurate 
disclosure of pertinent information concerning the operation of a bank 
 by the office of the sergeant-at-arms gives rise to a question of the 
                 privileges of the house under rule ix.

                                    

  On March 12, 1992, Mr. EDWARDS of Oklahoma, rose to a question of the 
privileges of the House and submitted the following privileged 
resolution (H. Res. 397):

       Whereas, disclosure of the banking activities of House 
     Members who held accounts in the House Bank during the period 
     under investigation by the Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct should be full and complete; and
       Whereas, full disclosure is not possible now because not 
     all accounts have been adequately reconstructed to reflect 
     action taken by the account holder and by Bank officials and 
     tellers; and
       Whereas, the Report of the Committee on Standards of 
     Official Conduct to accompany H. Res. 393 cited irregular and 
     unprofessional practices by House Bank employees that may 
     have contributed to the frequency of overdrafts; and
       Whereas, a full accounting is needed of official House Bank 
     policies, routine informal practices of House Bank employees 
     that deviated from or were not covered by official rules, and 
     each case in which employees failed to follow official or 
     informal procedures, and the effect of such failures on 
     Members' balances; and
       Whereas, Members of Congress are now being denied access to 
     their own personal bank records: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That (1) immediately upon passage of this 
     resolution, the Speaker shall direct the House Sergeant at 
     Arms, the General Accounting Office, and any other body under 
     his control with information relevant to Members' House Bank 
     account histories, to reconstruct the complete account 
     histories of all Members and former Members who had accounts 
     for the 39 month period beginning July 1, 1988 and ending 
     October 3, 1991 that have not already been reconstructed in 
     coordination with the Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct, and
       (2) that, after giving each Member an opportunity to be 
     heard by the subcommittee which conducted the inquiry and 20 
     days after passage of this resolution, the Committee on 
     Standards of Official Conduct is authorized to publicly 
     disclose the reconstructed account history of every Member of 
     the House, and
       (3) that, within 20 days of passage of this resolution, the 
     Speaker of the House shall direct the House Sergeant at Arms, 
     the General Accounting Office, and any other body under his 
     control with information relevant to Members' House Bank 
     account histories or House Bank practices, to provide a full 
     and complete report of the official policies of the House 
     Bank over the 39 month period in question; a full and 
     complete account of the procedures that were not official but 
     were informally and routinely followed by bank employees 
     (including instances where informal practices deviated from 
     official policies), and a full and complete account of every 
     instance in which the Bank failed to follow either its own 
     official procedures or routine and regular informal 
     procedures, and a case by case report of the effect that such 
     deviations have had on Members' account balances, and.
       (4) that, within 48 hours of the passage of this 
     resolution, the Speaker of the House, through the House 
     Sergeant at Arms, the GAO, and any other body under his 
     control with information relevant to Members account 
     histories, provide to each Member of the House a full 
     disclosure of that Member's account history with the House 
     Bank.

  Mr. GEPHARDT moved to refer the resolution to the Committee on 
Standards of Official Conduct.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. GEPHARDT, the previous question was ordered.
  The question being put, viva voce,

                      point of personal privilege

                              (Para. 31.8)


a member rose to a question of personal privilege under rule ix on the 
  basis of news accounts of the history of his account with the bank 
            operated by the office of the sergeant-at-arms.

                                    

  On March 19, 1992, Mr. LIGHTFOOT rose to a question of personal 
privilege.
  The SPEAKER, pursuant to clause 1 of rule IX, recognized Mr. 
LIGHTFOOT for one hour.
  Mr. LIGHTFOOT made the following statement:
  ``Mr. Speaker, I will warn my colleagues I am not going to take the 
full hour. I also apologize for the gravelly voice this morning, as I 
have been fighting somewhat of a cold lately.
  ``If I appear to be a bit distracted at this hour, my father-in-law 
is undergoing open heart surgery at Baylor Hospital in Texas. He is a 
pretty special person in my life, so excuse me if I bumble a word or 
two here today. If anyone is so disposed to say a prayer in his behalf, 
it would certainly be appreciated.
  ``Mr. Speaker. I rise today because I, like a number of my 
colleagues, feel that my reputation as a Member of Congress has been 
damaged by the actions of the House bank and the office of the Sergeant 
at Arms.
  ``This weekend, after going through and reviewing my canceled checks 
from the House bank, I discovered at least 60 that had been held by the 
bank without their ever notifying me.
  ``The key word is `held.' They were not bounced. My monthly 
statements have been juggled by the House bank, so I never knew the 
actions they had taken.
  ``For whatever reason, as most of you know, we are paid by the 
Sergeant at Arms. Our checks are issued on the 30th of the month. they 
are to be deposited to our account the following day, which is the 1st 
of the next month. But for whatever reason, many times those paychecks 
were not credited to my account for 4 or 5 or 6 days after the 1st of 
the month. I assumed that my paycheck was where it was supposed to be, 
in my account, under my name.
  ``Specifically, the House bank frequently held checks for 4 to 6 
days. In one instance the House bank held my tax refund check. Now, 
this is a check from the U.S. Treasury, which we assume is good. They 
held it for 5 days, or 6 days, actually, before they credited it to my 
account.
  ``Assuming that my refund was in my bank account, I continued to 
write checks against the account. As those came in the House bank held 
them. They did not bounce them, they held them.
  ``As an old ex-police officer, a few flags started to fly as things 
started to unfold. First of all, as more and more Members are talking 
about their personal experiences, we find that there is a common theme 
that has developed through much of what is being said.
  ``That is, that deposits, for whatever reason, were not credited at 
the time they were put in the House bank.
  ``I have had colleagues tell me of 15 days since the time they went 
down and made the deposit to the time it was credited to their account, 
15 days expired. Had this been a real bank, I am sure that the Federal 
examiners would have closed it down. But the big question, I guess, 
that comes to my mind, and the one that I think has to be answered, 
what or who was doing what with our money when it was not credited to 
our accounts?
  ``Where did my paycheck go on the first of July, when I did not get 
credit for it until the fifth? Was it credited to somebody else's 
account? Was it used to cover the deficits of those known abusers that 
we have here which have been uncovered through the Committee on 
Standards of Official Conduct, where we reconstructed some 66 accounts 
and found abusers, that there is proof that they did in fact abuse the 
bank and deliberately wrote overdrafts month after month after month? 
Were they using my money to cover those 
overdrafts and then holding my check until enough of them came in the 
bank that decided, well, we better pay up on this guy? So they paid my 
checks and then reached over to this gentleman's or this gentleman's 
account and took some more money out? What were they doing with that 
money?
  ``To me that is the key question that needs to be answered at this 
point in time. I tried to explain this to the media back home. I have a 
tape recording of the news conference that we held, and I certainly did 
not say what the headline says.
  ``It says, `I Bounced 60, But It Wasn't My Fault.'
  ``I never said that, but that is what the news media chose to write. 
Also in the roughly 7 years that we have been in this House, we have, I 
think, done a few decent things for our State. We saved a major highway 
that was going into another State. We have got a lot of improvements 
going on roads and airports and waterways and sewer systems and rural 
water districts and so on. Never made the front page of this newspaper. 
But with this little cartoon, wherever it went, we finally got on the 
front page for something that we did not do.
  ``The irony of it is that there is a feeding fest going on because 
for some reason the whole judicial system has been turned around, as it 
pertains to Members of Congress. We are all guilty until we prove 
ourselves innocent, and then every time we try to explain it, we are 
just trying to cover up and blame it on somebody else. I think there is 
a way that we can get to this central question and we can do it very 
quickly.
  ``Today I am going to send a letter around to the entire House 
membership. In that letter I am going to ask them to join me in 
requesting the U.S. Attorney's Office to undertake a criminal 
investigation of the House bank. Yes, I said criminal investigation of 
the House bank. Because for one, I want to know where were my deposits 
when they were not in my account. What was that money used for?
  ``It is my understanding that there is something in the neighborhood 
of a $2 million a day float. Where did the interest off of that money 
go? These are the questions that the folks in the Press Gallery should 
be asking, rather than trying to skewer Members of Congress simply 
because we chose to get in this job and someone mishandled our personal 
finances for us.
  ``I am certain there are Members who did write overdrafts, and I 
would be hard-pressed, I think, to find anybody that could say 100 
percent that they had not because we all do make mistakes. But when an 
institution of the House takes individual Members and juggles their 
financial accounts around, for whatever the reason might be, be in just 
plain laziness and sloppiness or be it for criminal reasons, that is 
wrong. Particularly when it smears the reputations and the names or 
Republicans and Democrats alike, who

[[Page 3251]]

had no evil in their heart, no intent to do anything wrong, and did 
nothing wrong other than they got elected to Congress and chose to use 
the facilities that were provided for us here.
  ``The only thing we get out of this world with is our name and our 
reputation, and there is a lot of good men and women of both political 
stripes who are being smeared because a few, in my opinion, evil, mean-
spirited, corrupt, arrogant people decided they were going to run some 
kind of a scam with our money and they would never get caught.
  ``Unfortunately, the trap has fallen on the wrong folks. I ask 
Members from the Democratic side of the aisle as well to join us or 
join me, rather, in signing this letter. I have a great deal of respect 
for my Democratic colleagues. Many of them are good friends. Even when 
we disagree over political issues, that is what this whole game is all 
about. We still have respect for each other as decent men and women and 
citizens of this country, and I think we all have the good interests of 
this country at heart.
  ``One of the proudest days of my life was back in January 1985, when 
I stood somewhere about right in here. At that time my son, who is now 
14, stood beside me and he held his hand up when I held up mine, and we 
took the oath of office.
  ``Never did I ever imagine in my wildest dreams that trying to do 
something to help other people would end up in this kind of a 
situation.
  ``I am still proud to be a Member of this House, even though we may 
have low esteem in all the polls that are taken. As the history of this 
body shows, the House of Representatives can and does do great things 
for the American people when we work together in the fashion that we 
are supposed to.
  ``The fact of the matter is, today many Members of Congress are being 
questioned by the actions of the people who ran the House bank, the 
Sergeant at Arms. This body cannot begin to win back the respect of the 
American people until we clean up that mess and clean it up thoroughly.
  ``I realize the cause of every overdraft was not rotten bank 
procedures. People make mistakes, but some Members of this House 
knowingly wrote bad checks. I think they have been identified. There 
must be a differentiation made between the abusers and those who were 
caught in this particular mess. Their constituents will make their own 
decisions.
  ``The problem is, their constituents are not being told the truth. 
But there are a great many of us on both sides of the aisle who have 
been caught in the middle, and I would appeal to my colleagues today to 
join me in trying to get to the bottom of this mess, be they Republican 
or Democrat, because I think if we want to extend it one step further, 
not only are individuals being smeared but in my opinion the name of 
this great country is being smeared. 
There is a tarnish on the eagle because of the actions of a few. And 
until we get to the bottom of it, it is not going to change.
  ``This House is not going to change it. It has to be some outside 
independent, objective set of eyes that takes a look at the whole 
situation. Now we have the post office scandal. Some other questions, I 
guess, that come to mind, as an old ex-policeman, how much of the post 
office scandal is tied into the House bank? Where did they launder the 
cocaine money?
  ``There is a lot of good, strong legal questions. And if I were a 
reporter today, I think I would be out trying to win a Pulitzer Prize 
getting to the bottom of it.''.

                             point of order

                              (Para. 34.6)


a motion to instruct managers on the part of the house to include in a 
  conference report a provision not committed to conference by either 
house exceeds the scope of conference in violation of clause 3 of rule 
                                xxviii.

                                    

  On March 25, 1992, on motion of Mr. GEJDENSON, by unanimous consent, 
the bill of the Senate (S. 3) to amend the Federal Election Campaign 
Act of 1971 to provide for a voluntary system of spending limits for 
Senate election campaigns, and for other purposes; together with the 
amendments of the House thereto, was taken from the Speaker's table.
  When on motion of Mr. GEJDENSON it was,
  Resolved, That the House insist upon its amendments and agree to the 
conference asked by the Senate on the disagreeing votes of the two 
Houses thereon.
  Mr. THOMAS of California moved to instruct the managers on the part 
of the House at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two 
Houses on the amendments of the House to S. 3: to include provisions in 
the conference report that would limit the total cost of the bill to 
the total savings to be derived from the recommended offsets in the 
Senate bill and House amendments, and specify the account given such 
costs and offsets under the terms of section 301, Requirement of Budget 
Neutrality; and to include in the conference report provisions 
containing the requirement that no taxpayer dollars may be used to 
finance congressional campaigns, such financing to include (1) any 
payments to reimburse the postal service for postage discounts provided 
to congressional campaigns, (2) any payments to congressional 
campaigns, and (3) any other expenditure or obligation to offset 
revenue losses created by tax credits or other subsidies for the 
purpose of financing congressional campaigns.
  Pending consideration of said motion,

                             point of order

                              (Para. 34.8)

  Mr. GEJDENSON made a point of order against the motion, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order that the directions of the 
gentleman from California [Mr. Thomas] are beyond the scope.''.
  Mr. THOMAS of California was recognized to speak to the point of 
order and said:
  ``It is my understanding that when the amendment to H.R. 3750 was 
presented to the House, the gentleman from North Carolina, the author 
of the amendment, indicated in an explanation of the measure that `the 
requirement that no taxpayer dollars may be used to finance 
congressional campaigns' was a portion of a substitute amendment.
  ``In addition, on the floor during debate in the Congressional 
Record, page H11128, the gentlewoman from Ohio [Ms. Oakar] said, `No 
taxpayers' dollars are involved.'
  ``During the same debate on page 11162 the gentleman from Connecticut 
said, `We do not have public financing in this bill.'
  ``The gentleman from North Carolina [Mr. Rose] on page 11164 said:

       Taxpayers are used to making tax contributions to pay for 
     elections in this country, but they did not want their tax 
     dollars at this time going to candidates for Congress.

  ``What this motion to instruct says is that no taxpayer dollars 
should be used to finance congressional campaigns. There are three 
examples of areas that financing should not be allowed, based upon the 
provisions that were in the bill.
  ``For example, first, no payments to reimburse the Postal Service for 
postage discounts; second, no payments to congressional campaigns, 
either in a matching fund or some other way, they should not go 
directly to congressional campaigns; or third, that there should not be 
any other expenditure or obligation to offset revenue losses created 
by, for example, tax credits in any conference agreement.
  ``Therefore, Mr. Speaker, based upon all the allegations that were 
presented during the presentation of this bill, it seems to me that the 
scope of the conference certainly would find acceptable an explanation 
which simply delineates more specifically where no taxpayer dollars are 
to be allowed.''.
  The SPEAKER sustained the point of order, and said:
  ``The Chair is prepared to rule, if there are no further arguments.
  ``Neither the House nor the Senate version contains the provision 
which the second part of the instruction directs the House conferees to 
include in their report.
  ``The gentleman from California [Mr. Thomas] is quoting statements on 
the floor made by Members supporting the bill, but neither the House 
nor the Senate version contains such provisions.
  ``For this reason, the motion exceeds the scope of the matters 
formally com- 

[[Page 3252]]

mitted to conference and the Chair sustains the point of order.''.
  Mr. THOMAS of California moved to instruct the managers on the part 
of the House at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two 
Houses on the amendments of the House to S. 3: to include provisions in 
the conference report that would limit the total cost of the bill to 
the total savings to be derived from the recommended offsets in the 
Senate bill and House amendments, and specify the account given such 
costs and offsets under the terms of section 301, Requirement of Budget 
Neutrality.
  After debate,
  By unanimous consent, the previous question on the motion to instruct 
the managers was ordered.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to said motion?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. DERRICK, announced that the yeas had it.
  So the motion to instruct the managers on the part of the House was 
agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said motion was agreed to 
was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.


                             point of order

                              (Para. 38.9)


 under the rule of germaneness (clause 7 of rule xvi), the fundamental 
 purpose of an amendment must relate to the fundamental purpose of the 
                         bill to which offered.

                                    

to a bill striking a delimiting date from existing law to continue the 
   availability of certain funds to the resolution trust corporation 
 without altering the purposes for which such funds were provided, an 
 amendment proposed in a motion to recommit to extend the availability 
  of such funds to newly specified activities of the office of thrift 
 supervision (an entity otherwise operating under another law) is not 
                                germane.

                                    

   the test of germaneness in the case of a motion to recommit with 
  instructions is the relationship of those instructions to the bill.

                                    

  On April 1, 1992, the bill (H.R. 4704) to remove the limitation on 
the availability of funds previously appropriated to the Resolution 
Trust Corporation; was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, 
was read a third time by title.
  Mr. McCOLLUM moved to recommit the bill to the Committee on Banking, 
Finance and Urban Affairs with instructions to report the bill back to 
the House forthwith with the following amendment:
       Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the 
     following:

     SECTION. 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Resolution Trust Corporation 
     Funding Act of 1992''.

     SEC. 2. REMOVAL OF LIMITATION OF PRIOR APPROPRIATION SUBJECT 
                   TO REDUCTION OF RTC LOSSES.

       Section 21A(i)(3) of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act (12 
     U.S.C. 1441a(i)(3)) is amended by striking ``until April 1, 
     1992'' and inserting ``except that such amount shall be 
     reduced by the amount which the Secretary determines is equal 
     to the net reduction in the expenditures of the Corporation 
     due to the supervisory goodwill buy-back program established 
     under subsection (x)''.

     SEC. 3. REDUCTION OF RTC LOSSES.

       The Federal Home Loan Bank Act (12 U.S.C. 1441a) is amended 
     by adding at the end the following new subsection:
       ``(x) Supervisory Goodwill Buy-Back Program.
       ``(1) Supervisory goodwill replaced with tangible 
     capital.--Within 90 days after the date of the enactment of 
     the Resolution Trust Corporation funding Act of 1992--
       ``(A) the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision 
     shall, in consultation with the Resolution Trust Corporation, 
     pay each qualified savings association the replacement amount 
     from amounts made available pursuant to paragraph (5); and
       ``(B) on receipt of such payment, the association shall 
     reduce its supervisory goodwill by the amount of such 
     payment.
       ``(2) Definitions.--As used in this section:
       ``(A) Qualified savings association.--The term `qualified 
     savings association' means a savings association--
       ``(i) for which a conservator or receiver would be 
     appointed before September 1, 1993 (as determined pursuant to 
     procedures which the Director shall establish) unless the 
     association participates in the program under this section; 
     and
       ``(ii) which is not an excluded savings association.
       ``(B) Excluded savings association.--The term `excluded 
     savings association' means a savings association for which, 
     in the determination of the Director, a conservator or 
     receiver is likely to be appointed whether or not the 
     association is included in the program under this subsection.
       ``(C) Replacement amount.--The term `replacement amount' 
     means, with respect to a qualified savings association, the 
     lesser of--
       ``(i) the determined amount; and
       ``(ii) the least amount that, if paid to the association, 
     would cause the association to be adequately capitalized (as 
     defined in section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act) 
     under all fully phased in capital standards.
       ``(D) Determined amount.--The term `determined amount' 
     means, with respect to a savings association, an amount 
     determined appropriate by the Office of Thrift Supervision, 
     taking into account the circumstances of the association, 
     which is--
       ``(i) not less than the amount of the supervisory goodwill 
     of the association, as of the date of the determination; and
       ``(ii) not more than the amount of the supervisory goodwill 
     of the association, as of the date of the enactment of the

     notwithstanding any other provision of law.
       ``(B) Additional requirements.--The Office of Thrift

     applicable capital requirements.
       ``(4) Other requirements.--The Office of Thrift Supervision 
     may establish any other requirements needed to ensure the

  Pending consideration of said motion,

                             point of order

                              (Para. 38.10)

  Mr. GONZALEZ made a point of order against the motion, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, with respect to clause 7 of rule XVI of the Rules of 
the House, amendments of this nature must be germane. H.R. 4704 is an 
extremely narrow bill. As we said before, all it did was change the 
date, that is, lift the date cap on the limitation for the expenditures 
of previously appropriated funds.
  ``Mr. Speaker, the motion to recommit goes far beyond this and the 
extremely narrow scope of this bill. On top of that, this would provide 
funds for OTS, whereas our lifting of the caps would merely release the 
already appropriated funds to RTC. The cash for goodwill contained in 
this misdirected amendment directly benefits stockholders, raises the 
value of stock, and, therefore, has no effect on the insured 
depositors, which our bill is strictly limited to, and that is to 
resolve the rightful interest of the depositors in these insured 
institutions. So I must insist on my point of order.''.
  Mr. McCOLLUM was recognized to speak to the point of order, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, the proposed motion to recommit should be held in 
order in my judgment because we do deal with the money that is in this 
bill. We deal with the fact that it instructs in my motion to recommit 
that a certain portion of that money that would be otherwise allocable 
and freed by this bill, be utilized for the sole purpose of forcing the 
Resolution Trust Corporation and the Office of Thrift Supervision to 
buy back about $2.5 billion worth of supervisory goodwill from some 53 
or so savings and loans that qualify with good core earnings, they are 
in the black and so forth, but which fail to meet tangible capital 
standards and otherwise would be closed simply because they have this 
$2.5 billion of supervisory goodwill on the books.
  ``Mr. Speaker, this would be in lieu of the money being spent to 
close these institutions, which, if they were closed with the money in 
this bill as it now reads, would cost the taxpayers $25 billion.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I am seeking a monetary relief in this bill by the 
motion to instruct. I am attempting to direct the usage of the money in 
this bill for the least cost effective method of resolving the 
difficulties with these 53 or so savings and loans. That would save the 
taxpayers the $25 billion and do the same job for only $2.5 billion, 
and also save about 25,000 jobs.
  ``So I believe it is perfectly germane since it deals strictly with 
money and how it is spent under this bill when we remove the date on 
this bill and free up

[[Page 3253]]

money, which is what the bill is all about.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I would urge that the Chair rule that this be allowed 
and that we be allowed to vote on saving the $25 billion of taxpayer 
money that we otherwise will lose if this is not made in order and this 
bill were to pass.''.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, sustained the point of order, 
and said:
  ``The Chair is prepared to rule on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Florida.
  ``The gentleman from Texas [Mr. Gonzalez] makes the point of order 
that the amendment proposed in the motion to recommit offered by the 
gentleman from Florida [Mr. McCollum] is not germane to the bill.
  ``The test of germaneness in the case of a motion to recommit with 
instructions is the relationship of the instructions to the bill. The 
pending bill narrowly amends existing law.
  ``Under the Federal Home Loan Bank Act, $25 billion is available 
until April 1, 1992, for the Resolution Trust Corporation to carry out 
its thrift resolution responsibilities. H.R. 4704 removes the temporal 
limitation on that funding to continue the availability of the $25 
billion after April 1, 1992. The bill does not alter the entity to 
which the funds are available or the purposes for which they are 
available.
  ``The amendment proposed in the motion offered by the gentleman from 
Florida [Mr. McCollum] also continues the availability of the $25 
billion to the RTC for its statutory responsibilities after April 1, 
1992. The amendment goes further, however, to devote a portion of the 
$25 billion in existing law to newly specified activities of the Office 
of Thrift Supervision, an entity that otherwise operates under the 
aegis of a different law, the Home Owners Loan Act.
  ``To a bill amending exiting law only to continue the availability of 
funds to a previously specified entity for previously established 
purposes, an amendment extending the availability of those funds also 
to a newly specified entity for a newly established program is not 
germane.
  ``Accordingly, the Chair finds that the motion to recommit offered by 
the gentleman from Florida [Mr. McCollum] is not in order.''.
  Mr. JOHNSON of Texas moved to recommit the bill to the Committee on 
Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs.
  Pending consideration of said motion,

                              (Para. 38.11)


where a special order allows ``one motion to recommit'' a bill with the 
previous question ordered on its passage, and one motion to recommit is 
   ruled out as proposing a nongermane amendment, a proper motion to 
                      recommit remains admissible.

                                    

  Mr. GONZALEZ made a point of order against the motion, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, I believe that under the rule granted by the Committee 
on Rules, House Resolution 412, the resolution from the Committee on 
Rules provides that the previous question `shall be considered as 
having been ordered on the bill to final passage without intervening 
motions except one motion to recommit;' that is one motion to recommit.
  ``I say that under that language, this is out of order, and I insist 
on regular order.''.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, overruled the point of order, 
and said:
  ``The SPEAKER pro tempore. The rule and the precedent provide that 
one proper motion to recommit is in order. The Chair rules that the 
pending motion to recommit is in order.''.
  The question being put, viva voce,

A motion to recommit a conference report with instructions to managers 
 on the part of the House to include in a subsequent conference report 
three features of a separate bill, none of which were committed to the 
 conference as disagreements between the Houses, exceeds the scope of 
          conference in violation of clause 3 of rule XXVIII.

                                    

  On April 9, 1992, Mr. GEJDENSON, pursuant to House Resolution 426, 
called up the conference report (Rept. No. 102-487) on the bill of the 
Senate (S. 3) to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to 
provide for a voluntary system of spending limits for Senate elections 
campaigns, and for other purposes.

(S. 3) to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to provide for a 
voluntary system of spending limits for Senate election campaigns, and for 
other purposes, to the committee of conference with the following 
instructions to the managers on the part of the House to include in the 
conference report the provisions of H.R. 3770, including:

(1) The requirement that a majority of a candidate's contributions come 
from individuals residing in the candidate's district;

(2) A limit of $1,000 on PAC contributions to candidates;

(3) A total ban on soft money contributions to political parties; and

(4) To further include the requirement that no taxpayer dollars may be used 
to finance congressional campaigns.

                              (Para. 43.11)

  Mr. GEJDENSON made a point of order against motion, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, I would make a point of order that the instructions 
exceed the scope of the conference report. It is clear that the 
requirement of in-district funding is beyond the scope of the 
conference report, and I would move that therefore the motion to 
recommit should be ruled out of order.''.
  Mr. LEACH was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, there are two issues that this Member would like to 
make. One is that in his belief this is thoroughly and utterly germane.
  ``The second point is how extraordinary it is that the party of 
alleged reform may or may not want to block real reform.''.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. ECKART, sustained the point of order, 
and said:
  ``The Chair is prepared to rule.
  ``The gentleman from Connecitcut [Mr. Gejdenson] makes a point of

[[Page 3254]]

order against the motion offered by the gentleman from New York [Mr. 
Walsh] on the ground that the instructions therein exceed the scope of

  ``The motion offered by the gentleman from New York proposes to 
instruct the managers on the part of the House to include in the 
conference report three features of a separate bill, H.R. 3770. Each of 
these three intiatives falls outside the matters committed to the 
conference as disagreements between the Senate bill and the House 
amendment thereto.

  ``Therefore, under clause 3 of rule XXVIII, a conference report may 
not include a matter although germane that was not committed to the 
conference of either House.

  ``In the opinion of the Chair, the instructions proposed in the 
motion offered by the gentleman from New York exceed the scope of the 
differences committed to the conference, and the point of order is 
sustained.''.

  Mr. WALSH moved to recommit the conference report on the bill of the 
Senate (S. 3) to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to 
provide for a voluntary system of spending limits for Senate election 
campaigns, and for other purposes, to the committee of conference with

strip all sections from the bill that allow for public financing of

  a resolution alleging a deliberate interference with the access of 
 members and staff of the committee on house administration to certain 
of its investigative proceedings, and resolving that such interference 
be explained and condemned, gives rise to a question of the privileges 
                      of the house under rule ix.

                                    

  On April 9, 1992, Mr. DOOLITTLE rose to a question of the privileges 
of the House and submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 430):

       Whereas, pursuant to H.R. 340, the House directed the 
     Committee on House Administration to investigate the 
     operation and management of the Office of the Postmaster and;
       Whereas, H.R. 340, required the committee to report its 
     findings and recommendations no later than May 30, 1992 and;
       Whereas, the chairman of the Committee on House 
     Administration pledge before the House that the investigation 
     would be handled equally by the majority and minority parties 
     and;
       Whereas, the chairman of the Committee on House 
     Administration in a letter to the ranking minority members 
     wrote that ``decisions will be made by a majority of the Task 
     Force'' and;
       Whereas, the Associated Press reported on April 9, 1992, an 
     article that stated that a Member of the Committee had 
     ordered aides/or committee staff to remove locks to a room 
     and replace the locks where witnesses were being interviewed 
     by members of the Ad Hoc investigating committee and;
       Whereas, the integrity of House proceedings and the 
     integrity of investigations must be protected from deliberate 
     interference: Now therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the chairman and vice chairman of the Ad Hoc 
     Committee investigating the Post Office appear before the 
     House by close of business on April 9, 1992 and explain the 
     reported attempt to interfere with the ongoing investigation.

     family, favors or benefits under circumstances which might be 
     construed by reasonable persons as influencing the 
     performance of his governmental duties.'' and;

     states that ``A member or officer of the House shall retain 
     no one under his payroll authority who does not perform 
     official duties commensurate with the compensation received *

     Standards of Official Conduct to investigate the published 
     reports and report within 90 days to the full House any 
     violations of House rules.
       Resolved, This ad hoc committee is authorized to appoint a

                              (Para. 43.26)


  a resolution reciting allegations that officers or employees of the 
   house may have delayed or impeded a criminal investigation of the 
 office of the postmaster by the department of justice, and resolving 
 that one such official, the general counsel to the clerk, be recused 
from handling legal process or otherwise rendering counsel with respect 
 to that investigation, gives rise to a question of the privileges of 
                        the house under rule ix.

                                    

  On April 9, 1992, Mr. WALKER rose to a question of the privileges of 
the House and submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 434):

       Whereas, the Department of Justice is conducting a criminal 
     investigation into the activities of the Office of the House 
     Postmaster; and
       Whereas, the investigation of criminal conduct includes 
     allegations of the sale of narcotics, the embezzlement of 
     public funds, and obstruction of justice by employees and or 
     officers of the House; and
       Whereas, allegations have been made publicly that officers 
     of the House or employees may have engaged in obstructing 
     justice by delaying or impeding an investigation by the 
     Capitol police into alleged improprieties in the Office of 
     the Postmaster; and
       Whereas, public allegations have been made concerning 
     conduct of the counsel to the Clerk of the House and the 
     investigation by the Capitol police; and
       Whereas, the Code of Conduct requires ``* * * employee * * 
     * shall conduct himself at all times in a matter which shall 
     reflect creditably on the House of Representatives''; and
       Whereas, the allegations of illegal activities and of 
     obstruction of justice impugn the integrity of the House; and
       Whereas, the counsel to the Clerk of the House or any 
     employee or officer of the House should refrain from 
     potential conflicts of interest; and
       Whereas, the Clerk of the House is authorized to receive 
     judicial writs, warrants and subpoenas and thereby be 
     involved with the specifics of any legal proceedings 
     including the investigation by the Department of Justice: 
     Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the House of Representatives directs the 
     Clerk of the House to recuse his counsel from receiving, 
     reviewing or drafting of any, and all, writs, warrants, 
     subpoenas, and documents requested from or issued by the 
     Department of Justice surrounding the legal proceedings on 
     the criminal investigations of the Office of the Postmaster. 
     The Clerk of House is further directed to instruct his 
     counsel to refrain from participating in discussions with 
     other employees or officers of the House with any matters 
     with respect to the Department of Justice criminal 
     investigation into the Office of the Postmaster.

                        privileges of the house

                              (Para. 45.11)


  a resolution responding to a subpoena issued in a federal criminal 
preliminary inquiry into the operations of a bank by the office of the 
  sergeant-at-arms, by authorizing the production of microfilm upon a 
  judicial determination of the enforceability of the subpoena, gives 
    rise to a question of the privileges of the house under rule ix.

                                    

  On April 29, 1992, Mr. GEPHARDT rose to a question of the privileges 
of the House and pursuant to the foregoing special order submitted the 
following privileged resolution (H. Res. 440):

       Directing the release of certain materials relating to the 
     inquiry of the operation of the bank of the Sergeant at Arms 
     pursuant to House Resolution 236 in a manner consistent with 
     enforcement of criminal law and procedure, respect for the 
     constitutional structure of government and the individual 
     rights assured to all citizens, and the expectation of the 
     public that the legal process will be impartial and fair.
       Whereas, on March 27, 1992, Attorney General William Barr, 
     appointed former federal Judge Malcolm A. Wilkey as Special 
     Counsel to the Attorney General to conduct a preliminary 
     inquiry into possible violations of the criminal law arising 
     out of the operations of the former House bank; and
       Whereas, shortly thereafter, employees of the former House 
     bank were made available for interviews in accordance with 
     Judge Wilkey's request and in the spirit of cooperation by 
     the House of Representatives with the preliminary inquiry; 
     and,
       Whereas, on April 20, 1992, the Speaker of the House, on 
     behalf of himself and the Republican leader, forwarded to 
     Judge Wilkey a letter informing him that it would be 
     inconsistent with the Rules of the House of Representatives 
     to provide copies of the records sought by Judge Wilkey 
     without the matter being fully considered by the entire House 
     upon its reconvening the following week; and,
       Whereas, on April 21, 1992, while the House remained in 
     recess, Judge Wilkey caused to be issued subpoenas to the 
     Acting Chairman of the Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct and to the Sergeant at Arms of the House of 
     Representatives calling for production by April 28, 1992, of 
     all records of the former House bank which include all 
     transactions of every person who used the former House bank 
     during a 39-month period, such as Members without overdrafts, 
     Member's spouses, employees, members of the press, and the 
     members of the public, as well as deposit slips and monthly 
     statements of all Members: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the House of Representatives shall comply 
     with the subpoenas issued in connection with the preliminary 
     inquiry of the Special Counsel, in a manner consistent with 
     (1) enforcement of criminal law and procedure; (2) respect 
     for the constitutional structure of government and the 
     individual rights assured to all citizens; and (3) the 
     expectation of the public that the legal process will be 
     impartial and fair: Be it further
       Resolved, That microfilm rolls shall be collected by the 
     Sergeant at Arms and he shall promptly undertake to 
     expeditiously have reproduced in documentary form, using the 
     best available modern technology, the forty-one rolls of 
     microfilm sought by the subpoena: Be it further
       Resolved, The Sergeant at Arms shall obtain from the United 
     States District Court a determination of the enforceability 
     of the subpoena including its materiality and relevance and 
     shall upon receipt of such determination notify the House of 
     the Court's determination: Be it further
       Resolved, The Sergeant at Arms, after providing 
     notification to the House, is authorized and directed to 
     comply with the subpoena consistent with the Court's 
     determination: Be it further
       Resolved, That the House relies upon the assurances of the 
     Special Counsel that he will take such steps as are necessary 
     to provide full protection for the confidentiality of the 
     records provided: Be it further
       Resolved, Consistent with this resolution that it is the 
     will of the House to maintain such communication and 
     cooperation with the Special Counsel as will promote the ends 
     of justice consistent with the privileges and rights of the 
     House and its Members.

  After debate,
  Pursuant to the special order of the House heretofore agreed to, the 
previous question was ordered on the resolution to its adoption or 
rejection.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to said resolution?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. BONIOR, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. HANSEN demanded that the vote be taken by the yeas and nays, 
which demand was supported by one-fifth of the Members present, so the 
yeas and nays were ordered.

                        privileges of the house

                              (Para. 45.13)


   a resolution responding to a ``request'' of a special counsel for 
records of the house by requiring compliance with that request within a 
 time certain gives rise to a question of the privileges of the house 
                             under rule ix.

                                    

  On April 29, 1992, Mr. MICHEL rose to a question of the privileges of 
the House and pursuant to the foregoing special order submitted the 
following privileged resolution (H. Res. 441):

       Whereas, by letters of April 8 and 21, 1992, to the acting 
     chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
     Standards of Official Conduct and to the Speaker, 
     respectively, the Honorable Malcolm R. Wilkey, Special 
     Counsel to the Attorney General of the United States, has 
     requested a ``cooperative response'' from the committee to 
     his request for materials, specifically

[[Page 3256]]

     41 microfilm rolls identified in the letter of April 21, in 
     the possession of the Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct relating to the inquiry of the operation of the Bank 
     of the Sergeant-at-Arms pursuant to House Resolution 236, 
     adopted by the House on October 3, 1991;

       Whereas, the Constitution of the United States vests 
     authority in the House of Representatives to protect and 
     preserve materials of the House; and

       Whereas, by the privileges of the House no evidence of a 
     documentary character under the control and in the possession 
     of the House can, either by the mandate of process of the 
     ordinary courts of justice or pursuant to requests by 
     appropriate Federal or State authorities, be taken from such 
     control or possession except by the permission of the House; 
     Now, therefore, be it

       Resolved, That the microfilm rolls shall be collected by 
     the Sergeant-at-Arms and he shall, no later than twelve noon 
     on May 4, 19992, provide to the Special Counsel the microfilm 
     rolls: Be it further

       Resolved, That this provision of information shall be taken 
     without prejudice to any future consideration by the House of 
     the Judiciary of requests for documentary or testimonial 
     evidence from the Members, Officers or employees of the 
     House: Be it further

       Resolved, That the House relies upon the assurances of the 
     Special Counsel that he will take such steps as are necessary 
     to provide for protection for the confidentiality of the 
     records provided: Be it further

       Resolved, The nothing in this Resolution shall be construed 
     to deprive, condition or waive the constitutional or legal 
     rights applicable or available to any Member, Officer or 
     employee of the House or any other individual; and be it

       Further Resolved, That it is the will of the House to 
     maintain such communication and cooperation with the Special 
     Counsel as will promote the ends of justice consistent with 
     the privileges and rights of the House.

  After debate,

  Pursuant to the special order of the House heretofore agreed to, the 
previous question was ordered on the resolution to its adoption or 
rejection.

  The question being put, viva voce,

  Will the House agree to said resolution?

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mrs. KENNELLY, announced that the yeas had 
it.

  Mr. MICHEL demanded a recorded vote on agreeing to said resolution, 
which demand was supported by one-fifth of a quorum, so a recorded vote 
was ordered.

                             point of order

                              (Para. 50.6)


 the committee on rules may, without violating clause 4(b) of rule xi, 
 recommend a special order that limits but does not wholly preclude a 
motion to recommit after the previous question is ordered on passage of 
   a bill or joint resolution, such as one providing that the motion 
                  ``shall not contain instructions.''

                                    

clause 4 of rule xvi does not guarantee that a motion to recommit after 
    the previous question is ordered on passage of a bill or joint 
              resolution always may include instructions.

                                    

    a special order that does not preclude altogether the motion to 
 recommit does not ``prevent the motion to recommit from being made as 
                  provided in clause 4 of rule xvi.''

                                    

  the house laid on the table an appeal from a ruling of the speaker.

                                    

  On May 7, 1992, Mr. DERRICK, by direction of the Committee on Rules, 
called up the following resolution (H. Res. 447):

       Resolved, That at any time after adoption of this 
     resolution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule 
     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the State of the Union for consideration of 
     the bill (H.R. 4990) rescinding certain budget authority, and 
     for other purposes, and the first reading of the bill shall 
     be dispensed with. All points of order against the bill and 
     against its consideration are hereby waived. After general 
     debate, which shall be confined to the bill and which shall 
     not exceed one hour, to be equally divided and controlled by 
     the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
     Appropriations, the bill shall be considered as having been 
     read for amendment under the five-minute rule. The amendment 
     printed in part 1 of the report of the Committee on Rules 
     accompanying this resolution shall be considered as having 
     been adopted. No amendment to the bill shall be in order 
     except the amendments printed in part 2 of the report of the 
     Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. Said 
     amendments shall be considered in the order and manner 
     specified in the report of the Committee on Rules, and shall 
     be considered as having been read. Each shall be debatable 
     for not to exceed thirty minutes, equally divided and 
     controlled by the proponent and a member opposed thereto. 
     Said amendments shall not be subject to amendment. All points 
     of order against the amendments printed in the report of the 
     Committee on Rules are hereby waived. If both amendments in 
     part 2 of the report of the Committee on Rules are adopted, 
     only the latter amendment which is adopted shall be 
     considered as finally adopted and reported back to the House. 
     At the conclusion of the consideration of the bill for 
     amendment, the Committee shall rise and report the bill to 
     the House with such amendments as may have been adopted, and 
     the previous question shall be considered as ordered on the 
     bill and amendments thereto to final passage without 
     intervening motion except one motion to recommit which shall 
     not contain instructions.
       Sec. 2. The provisions of section 1017 of the Impoundment 
     Control Act of 1974 shall not apply to a bill or joint 
     resolution introduced with respect to any special message 
     transmitted under section 1012 of that Act on March 10, 1992, 
     March 20, 1992, or April 8, 1992.

  Pending consideration of said resolution,

                             point of order

                              (Para. 50.7)

  Mr. SOLOMON made a point of order against the resolution, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, House Resolution 447 provides in the last sentence of 
section 1:

     and the previous question shall be considered as ordered on 
     the bill and amendments thereto to final passage without 
     intervening motion except one motion to recommit which----

  ``And this is the point I wish to make--

     which shall not contain instructions.

  ``Mr. Speaker, the language prohibiting any instructions in the 
motion to recommit clearly violates clause 4(b) of House rule XI which 
prohibits the Rules Committee from reporting `any rule or order which 
would prevent the motion to recommit from being made as provided in 
clause 4 of rule XVI' of the rules that we live under in this House.
  ``And clause 4 of rule XVI provides at the relevant part that--

       After the previous question shall have been ordered on the 
     passage of a bill or joint resolution one motion to recommit 
     shall be in order, and the Speaker--you--shall give 
     preference in recognition for such purpose to a Member who is 
     opposed to the bill or joint resolution.

  ``Mr. Speaker, I will not take your time or the time of this House to 
recount the detailed history of these two rules and the precedents 
behind them. I have previously given that to you and to the Members of 
this House in the form of a 48-page, documented historical report, 
which you have, so I will not bother repeating it.
  ``Suffice to say, prior to 1909, the House already had a motion to 
recommit, with or without instructions, contained in at that time rule 
XVII. Clauses 4 of rule XI and XVI were added to the rules by a 
minority party member, a Democrat from New York, my State, to give the 
minority a right to get a last vote on its proposition through 
recommittal instructions.
  ``That is clear from the author of that amendment to the rules and 
numerous Speakers upholding that right in the following years.
  ``The key phrase in clause 4(b) of rule XI is `as provided in clause 
4 of rule XVI,' since what was being provided for in that new rule was 
the right of the minority to offer a final amendment in the form of 
instructions.
  ``If the Speaker will consider logic alone, for the majority to 
dictate in a rule such as this what form the motion to recommit should 
take--in this case only a straight motion to recommit--is to truly deny 
the opponent of the bill recognized under the rule, a motion of his or 
her choosing. This now becomes a majority motion, and not a minority 
motion.

[[Page 3257]]

  ``And that is what is happening here today.
  ``When I previously raised similar points of order, the Chair has 
referred to a 1934 ruling of Speaker Rainey that the Rules Committee 
need only allow for a straight motion to recommit to satisfy that rule.
  ``And as I previously argued, Mr. Speaker, and argue again today, 
that ruling, and all subsequent rulings of this and previous Speakers 
which relied on it, were wrongly decided.
  ``And any logical person would come to that conclusion.
  ``To limit the minority to a straight motion to recommit, to deny it 
the original intent of the rule, guts that right and nullifies the 
original intent of the rule. There is no longer a need for two motions 
to recommit under our rules.
  ``It was my understanding that the Speaker was at least willing to 
consider that ruling and had agreed to have the Rules Committee--that I 
serve on--look into the matter further. Ironically, that long-promised 
hearing was held just yesterday, the very same day that this rule, this 
unfair rule depriving the minority, was reported. The Rules Committee 
has not yet issued a final report on its study, and yet here we are 
again today being denied our traditional right to offer instructions. 
We are being disenfranchised.
  ``Mr. Speaker, instead of quoting Speaker Gillett or any number of 
other Speakers who have upheld our rights, or your rights if you were 
in the minority, to offer instructions in the past, let me close by 
quoting to you from Thomas Jefferson in his Manual, which is still a 
part of our rules. He said: `So far the maxim is certainly true and is 
founded in good sense, that as it is always in the power of the 
majority, by their numbers, to stop any improper measures proposed on 
the part of their opponents, the only weapons, the only weapon by which 
the minority can defend themselves against similar attempts from those 
in power are the forms and rules of proceedings which have been adopted 
as they were found necessary from time to time, and are become the law 
of the House,' the law of the House, `by a strict adherence to which 
the weaker party can only be protected from those irregularities and 
abuses,' and I will repeat those words, `be protected from those 
irregularities and abuses which these forms were intended to check,' 
and have been intended to check for over 200 years in this House, `and 
which the wantonness of power is but too often apt to suggest to large 
and successful majorities,' which you have the privilege of having 101 
more Members than we have on this side.
  ``Mr. Speaker, the rule before us strips the minority of all of its 
rights and does not allow us to offer even one amendment which we had 
requested--not in the Committee of the Whole and not in the motion to 
recommit. This is exactly the kind of example against which Jefferson 
warned us in which the 
minority has been stripped of the only weapon and protections we have 
to defend against attempts by those in power, and I will repeat again, 
`irregularities and abuses,' which in recent years seems to be the norm 
around here and is one of the reasons I am ashamed to say that this 
House is held in such low esteem by the American people. Ten percent 
approval or something like that in the latest polls.
  ``If you take away this last ounce of protection that the minority 
has under our rules to offer even one amendment, even one amendment 
through the motion to recommit, you have rendered us helpless and you 
have rendered the value of any rules in this House absolutely 
meaningless.
  ``Now, Mr. Speaker, you are the Speaker of this House, you represent 
the majority, and as you should because you are a Member of that party, 
but you also have an obligation, a constitutional obligation, to 
represent the minority as well, and I strongly urge you to take a 
courageous step, Mr. Speaker--we have great respect for you--and to 
rule in our favor under this point of order. It means a lot to the 
American people, and it certainly means a lot to minority interests 
around this country.''.
  Mr. DERRICK was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from New York makes the point of order 
that the rule limits the motion to recommit and, therefore, according 
to the minority, the rule violates clause 4(b) of rule XI.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I respectfully disagree. Rule XI prohibits the Rules 
Committee from reporting a rule that: `Would prevent the motion to 
recommit from being made as provided in clause 4 of rule XVI.'
  ``Clause 4 of rule XVI addresses the simple motion to recommit a bill 
or joint resolution and requires the Speaker to give preference in 
recognition to a Member of the minority who is opposed to the measure. 
Nowhere are instructions mentioned.
  ``The Rules Committee, therefore, may report a rule that limits but 
does not prohibit the motion to recommit--without violating clause 4(b) 
of rule XI.
  ``Mr. Speaker, so long as a simple motion to recommit can be offered, 
a rule does not `prevent the motion to recommit from being made as 
provided in clause 4 of rule XVI.' This is a well-established 
parliamentary point since Speaker Rainey's decision in 1934.
  ``In fact, Mr. Speaker, the parliamentary point was reaffirmed by 
recent rulings of the Chair on October 16, 1990, on June 4, 1991, on 
November 25, 1991, and on February 26, 1992. On those occasions certain 
Members sought to appeal the ruling of the Chair. The House then voted, 
on each occasion, to sustain the ruling by tabling the appeal. The 
House thereby strengthened the precedents in this interpretation of the 
rule.
  ``Without an intervening change in the rule, there can be no question 
of 
the interpretation. Mr. Speaker, the precedents are clear and 
unequivocal. Moreover, the House has spoken on several recent occasions 
to reaffirm this position. I urge the point of order be overruled.''.
  The SPEAKER overruled the point of order, and said:
  ``The Chair is ready to rule.
  ``The Chair notes that the gentleman from New York has pointed out 
that there have been repeated objections to rules which have not 
contained, as a matter of right, a motion to recommit with 
instructions, that the matter has been undertaken for review by the 
Committee on Rules, that a hearing has been held but a final study or 
report from the Committee on Rules has not yet been concluded.
  ``Because of the pendency of such a review, but because of the lack 
of any other conclusion thereon which might recommend against the 
existing line of precedents, the Chair is constrained to rule, as he 
has ruled before, that under the precedents of October 16, 1990, and 
February 26, 1992, both of which the gentleman correctly points out 
stem from a precedent of January 11, 1934, by Speaker Rainey, the Chair 
is constrained to overrule the point of order.''.
  Mr. SOLOMON appealed the ruling of the Chair.
  Mr. DERRICK moved to lay the appeal on the table.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House lay on the table the appeal of the ruling of the 
Chair?

                              (Para. 54.21)


 a resolution alleging that the speaker failed to promptly notify the 
  house that several members and an officer of the house had received 
 subpoenas to testify before a grand jury investigating the office of 
   the postmaster, and directing the speaker to produce such ``court 
 orders'' and to explain the delay in notification to the house gives 
      rise to a question of privileges of the house under rule ix.

                                    

  On May 14, 1992, Mr. WALKER rose to a question of the privileges of 
the House and submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 456):

       Whereas, the Department of Justice is conducting a criminal 
     investigation into the activities of the Office of the House 
     Postmaster and;
       Whereas, the Department of Justice issued five subpoenas on 
     May 6 requiring certain members of the House and current or 
     former employees to produce certain materials and;
       Whereas, Rule L requires that the Speaker be promptly 
     notified of receipt of all subpoenas and that they be laid 
     before the House and that the Speaker shall inform the House 
     of the proper exercise of the court order;
       Resolved, That the House of Representatives directs the 
     Speaker of the House to produce the court orders dealing with 
     the criminal investigation of the House Post Office and that 
     the Speaker explain what delayed the timely consideration of 
     said court orders.

  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. WALKER, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection.

                        privileges of the house

                              (Para. 57.4)


a resolution alleging that the reputation of the house is besmirched by 
  the manner in which it maintains its contingent fund, and resolving 
   that certain outside audits be conducted, does not give rise to a 
                  question of privileges of the house.

                                    

 a resolution mandating additional audits of all accounts of the house 
 and public disclosure of all financial records of the house does not 
  confine itself to the redress of an alleged abuse of existing rules 
  but, instead, proposes to change or add to such rules and, as such, 
 does not give rise to a question of the privileges of the house under 
                                rule ix.

                                    

the house laid on the table an appeal from a ruling of the speaker pro 
                                tempore.

                                    

  On May 20, 1992, Mr. SANTORUM rose to a question of the privileges of 
the House and submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 460):

       Whereas the reputation of the House has been besmirched by 
     the manner in which financial records of the House have been 
     maintained; and
       Whereas required audits of House accounts have not been 
     performed; and
       Whereas the procedure used for expenditures under the House 
     contingent fund were regarded by Congress as a ``scandal'' 
     when used by the United States Air Force in its ``M 
     Account''; and
       Whereas the $16 million budget of the Capitol Preservation 
     Commission has not been subjected to a required audit by the 
     General Accounting Office according to a study by the 
     Heritage Foundation; and
       Whereas the reprogramming of monies under said accounts has 
     not been made public or widely shared with the membership of 
     the House: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Speaker is directed to have performed 
     complete financial and performance audits of the Capital 
     Preservation Commission account and the House Contingent 
     account; And be it further
       Resolved, That the Speaker shall have said audits done by 
     an independent third party; And be it further
       Resolved, That said audits shall be completed within 90 
     days and the results of said audits shall be provided to the 
     full membership of the House.

  Pending the Speaker's ruling,
  Mr. SANTORUM was recognized to speak to the question of the 
privileges of the House and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, we have heard some of the comments of the 1-minute 
speeches. There have been reports in the newspapers and allegations 
made as to improprieties or potential improprieties conducted within 
the contingent funds of the House, that there was, in fact, no audit 
conducted of the Capitol preservation account that was required as 
reported by the Heritage Foundation, that these are allegations that do 
bring into question some of the doings here in the House of 
Representatives. And as a result, I think it rises to a question of 
privilege and would request that this resolution be made in order.''.
  Mr. WALKER was recognized to speak to the question and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, the test for a question of privilege is whether or not 
there are allegations of wrongdoing contained within the resolution and 
whether or not those questions of wrongdoing do, in fact, reflect upon 
the integrity of the House of Representatives. In this case, there are 
two allegations of alleged wrongdoing. In the case of the Capitol 
Preservation Commission, the law does require an audit by the General 
Accounting Office. According to a recent study by the Heritage 
Foundation, said audit has not been done.
  ``So, therefore, that does constitute a question of improper conduct. 
And so, therefore, it should be permitted.
  ``Beyond that, the method in which the House contingent account has 
been run, namely, multiyear authorizations and expenditures, was, in 
fact, regarded by Congress as an unacceptable means of expenditure, 
when it involved the U.S. Air Force and its so-called M account.
  ``Furthermore, these procedures have recently been characterized by 
the Wall Street Journal, a national publication, as `Congress having 
arranged special treatment for itself and shielded its operations from 
public scrutiny.'
  ``We do have now an allegation by a major national news source that 
what we are doing here constitutes wrongdoing in the public realm. So 
in that case, allegations of wrongdoing in the public domain also raise 
a question of privileges before the House.
  ``So for those reasons, I would say that the gentleman's resolution 
is in order and should be debated by the House.''.
  Mr. FAZIO was recognized to speak to the question and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, I would like to be heard on this so-called privileged 
resolution.
  ``My remarks are in two categories. Specifically, as I look at the 
resolution there is a reference to the failure to audit the Capitol 
Preservation Commission. That is the only real allegation of any 
specificity in the resolution. And I might try to place on the record 
some facts that obviously eluded the Heritage Foundation, which is the 
source of the information which was just presented by the two gentleman 
from Pennsylvania.
  ``The Preservation Commission audit has begun and is ongoing. Of 
course, the General Accounting Office is required, and I agree with the 
gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Walker], to do so under the law in 
which the Preservation Commission was created. Section 804 of Public 
Law 106-96 asked that an audit be done on an annual basis.
  ``But the Commission, which was authorized in 1988, did not hold its 
first meeting until 1991, and no financial activities were undertaken 
until later. And so it was impossible effectively for any financial 
audit to be performed until activities took place and expenditures were 
made in February 1991.
  ``We believe that the ongoing Commission audit is the first 
opportunity to look at any activity of any con- 

[[Page 3259]]

sequence which took place under the purview of the Commission, and in 
my view, when the GAO is able to allocate sufficient resources, given 
the other responsibilities they have been given by this institution in 
other areas, they will complete this audit and it will be available to 
us, just as the law requires.
  ``The other comments made by the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. 
Walker] relate to articles in the Wall Street Journal, Heritage 
Foundation reports, and I suppose we could say articles that appeared 
in the Washington Times, all of which are repeating rumors and 
innuendoes which are circulated by all of these entities on a regular 
basis. There is no factual content to the resolution otherwise.
  ``There, obviously, is an effort here to inflame public concern about 
the way the House operates. The House record of doing audits is a good 
one, and I suppose that is why no other entity or activity other than 
the Preservation Commission was cited with any specificity in the 
resolution.
  ``So it is clearly an inappropriate occasion for these issues to be 
brought before the House. There will be ample opportunity to discuss 
these matters on other legislation that will come before us during the 
remainder of this year.
  ``There is no question that this issue has been before us before and 
been discussed in the context of the legislative branch appropriation 
bill, and in reference to the Iran-Contra investigation when the whole 
subject of contingent fund expenditures of the House of Representatives 
was discussed in great depth with the minority whip, Mr. Gingrich.
  ``Mr. Speaker, at a subsequent point in the Record I will include a 
series of audits which have been conducted of the legislative branch 
activities going back to the 1st of October of 1987, and we will 
provide this to make sure that all of the audits which have been 
performed are available in the Record so those who seem to be unable to 
find them will know where to go to obtain them so that in the future 
their comments can be made more accurately.''.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, ruled that the resolution 
submitted did not present a question of the privileges of the House 
under rule IX, and said:
  ``The Chair is prepared to rule. A question of the privileges of the 
House may not be invoked to effect a change in the rules of the House 
or their interpretation. Similarly a question of the privileges of the 
House may not invoke to effect a change in the operation of law.
  ``The instant resolution does not allege a deviation from or 
violation of the duly constituted procedures of the House affecting the 
range of account activity addressed in the resolution after its 
resolving clause. Rather, with respect to almost the whole of that 
range, the resolution takes issue with the very adequacy of the 
procedures under existing law and rule. It does not confine itself to 
the redress of an abuse of existing rules. Rather it proposes to change 
and add to such rules, including the new auditing requirements of rule 
LIII, as adopted in House Resolution 423 on April 9, 1992 by requiring 
a comprehensive financial and performance audit of all contingency 
accounts within 90 days.
  ``An assertion that the reputation of the House is besmirched because 
it does not follow a particular course of action suggested as an 
improvement in its operation does not present a question affecting the 
rights of the House collectively, its safety, dignity, or the integrity 
of its proceedings under the precedents. That such an assertion may 
have been echoed in a major financial publication does not change the 
matter. On this point the opinion of Speaker Colfax on April 21, 1868--
which is recorded in Hinds' Precedents, volume 3, section 2639--on the 
subject of general charges concerning the proceedings of the House--in 
that instance in a newspaper--is aptly quoted:

       If this proposition could be entertained as a question of 
     privilege, the House of Representatives would or could have 
     resolutions upon questions of privilege before them every 
     day, because probably not a day elapses without some 
     newspaper in the country making a general charge against the 
     Congress or some of its Members. These charges must be 
     specific charges. A general charge that some conduct has been 
     scandalous and unjust, the Chair will rule is not a question 
     of privilege * * *.

  ``The preamble of instant resolution does not present a predicate for 
a question of the privileges of the House. As Speaker pro tempore Cox 
noted in the precedent of September 20, 1888, which is recorded in 
Hinds' Precedents, volume 3, section 2601, there is no allegation of 
impropriety. Similarly, the matter after its resolving clause merely 
proposes what amounts to a new rule for audits of all House accounts 
without alleging improper conduct with respect to all those accounts.
  ``Therefore, the Chair rules that the resolution does not constitute 
a question of the privileges of the House.''.
  Mr. SANTORUM appealed the ruling of the Chair.
  Mr. GEPHARDT moved to lay the appeal on the table.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House lay on the table the appeal of the ruling of the 
Chair?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. SANTORUM objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken 
by electronic device.

                        privileges of the house

                              (Para. 61.4)


  a resolution authorizing an officer of the house to release certain 
documents in response to a request by a special counsel to the attorney 
 general gives rise to a question of the privileges of the house under 
                                rule ix.

                                    

 a resolution reciting that by the privileges of the house no evidence 
    may be taken from its possession except by its permission, and 
resolving that certain additional information relating to the operation 
  of the bank by the office of the sergeant-at-arms be furnished as a 
further cooperative response to requests from a special counsel to the 
   attorney general, and that the leadership legal advisory group be 
authorized to respond to like requests, gives rise to a question of the 
                 privileges of the house under rule ix.

                                    

  On May 28, 1992, Mr. GEPHARDT rose to a question of the privileges of 
the House and submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 471):

       Whereas on April 29, 1992 the House of Representatives 
     adopted House Resolution 441 directing the release of certain 
     materials relating to the inquiry of the operation of the 
     Bank of the Sergeant at Arms pursuant to House Resolution 236 
     as a ``cooperative response'' to requests for those materials 
     from the Honorable Malcolm R. Wilkey, Special Counsel to the 
     Attorney General of the United States;
       Whereas pursuant to House Resolution 441 the 41 microfilm 
     rolls provided to the Special Counsel were furnished without 
     prejudice to any future consideration by the House or the 
     Judiciary of requests for documentary or testimonial evidence 
     from Members, Officers of employees of the House, but only 
     upon assurances of the Special Counsel that he will take such 
     steps as are necessary to provide for protection of the 
     confidentiality of the records provided;
       Whereas pursuant to House Resolution 441 the House 
     expressed its will to maintain such communication and 
     cooperation with the Special Counsel as will promote the ends 
     of justice consistent with the privileges and rights of the 
     House and consistent with the constitutional or legal rights 
     applicable or available to any Member, Officer or employee of 
     the House or any other individual;
       Whereas the Special Counsel has requested the production of 
     further documentary evidence in addition to that furnished 
     pursuant to House Resolution 441;
       Whereas, by the privileges of the House no evidence of a 
     documentary character under the control and in the possession 
     of the House can, either by the mandate of process of the 
     ordinary courts of justice or pursuant to requests by 
     appropriate Federal or State authorities, be taken from such 
     control or possession except by the permission of the House; 
     Now therefore be it
       Resolved, That the material requested by the Special 
     Counsel consisting of: for the period July 1, 1988 through 
     October 1991 the general ledgers of the bank; the ``throwout 
     books''; lists or other compilations of persons whose check 
     privileges had been suspended or otherwise restricted; for 
     accounts in which there were one or more ``overdrafts'' any 
     list or other compilation of individuals who had been granted 
     signature au- 

[[Page 3260]]

     thority by account holders and any list or other compilation 
     of individuals who had been designated by Members as a staff 
     contact person; information relating to overdrawn accounts 
     and general bank administration maintained in the computers 
     of the bank; in addition, and without respect to the time 
     limitation referenced above, any list or other compilation 
     relating to promissory notes made by the National Bank of 
     Washington, shall be collected by the Sergeant at Arms and he 
     shall commence production thereof to the Special Counsel not 
     later than five p.m. on Monday June 1, 1992; Be it further
       Resolved, That upon receipt of further requests for 
     documentary or testimonial evidence from the Special Counsel 
     addressed to any Member, officer, or employee of the House, 
     the Leadership Legal Advisory Group (consisting of the 
     Speaker, the majority leader, the minority leader, the 
     majority whip and the minority whip), is hereby authorized to 
     respond to and to take appropriate action with respect to 
     such requests from the Special Counsel in a manner consistent 
     with the privileges and precedents of the House. 

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mrs. UNSOELD, ruled that the resolution 
submitted did present a question of the privileges of the House and 
recognized Mr. GEPHARDT for one hour.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. GEPHARDT, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to said resolution?
  The SPEAKER announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. GINGRICH objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken

                        privileges of the house

                              (Para. 65.28)


 a resolution reciting that by the privileges of the house no evidence 
    may be taken from its possession except by its permission, and 
   resolving that certain requested information be furnished to the 
 independent counsel investigating covert arms transactions with iran, 
 gives rise to a question of the privileges of the house under rule ix.

                                    

  On June 4, 1992, Mr. HAMILTON rose to a question of the privileges of 
the House and submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 477):

       Whereas, the House of Representatives in the 100th 
     Congress, 1st Session, adopted House Resolution 12 on January 
     7, 1987 establishing the Select Committee to Investigate 
     Covert Arms Transactions with Iran, and authorizing that 
     committee, during its con- 
     tinuance, to respond to judicial or other process consistent 
     with Rule L;
       Whereas, the House of Representatives in the 100th 
     Congress, 1st Session, adopted House Resolution 330 on 
     December 10, 1987 providing for the termination of that 
     Select Committee on March 1, 1988 and for the transmittal of 
     its records to the Clerk of the House for storage in the 
     National Archives;
       Whereas, the Office of Independent Counsel as part of its 
     continuing criminal investigation of Iran/Contra matters has 
     in a letter to the General Counsel to the Clerk dated June 1, 
     1992 requested certain testimonial and documentary 
     information in connection with the June 17, 1987 deposition 
     of former Secretary of Defense Casper W. Weinberger (taken in 
     a closed proceeding of that Select Committee pursuant to 
     House Resolution 12);
       Whereas, by the privileges of the House, no evidence under 
     the control of the House can, either by the mandate of 
     process of the ordinary courts of justice or pursuant to 
     requests by appropriate Federal or State authorities, be 
     taken from such control except by the permission of the 
     House: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the testimonial and documentary evidence in 
     connection with the June 17, 1987 deposition of former 
     Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger as outlined in the 
     request of June 1, 1992 by the Independent Counsel, be 
     furnished at the direction of the Clerk of the House in a 
     manner consistent with the privileges and precedents of the 
     House.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MURTHA, ruled that the resolution 
submitted did present a question of the privileges of the House under 
rule IX.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. HAMILTON, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection and under the operation thereof 
was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said resolution was agreed to 
was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.


                            words taken down

                              (Para. 67.6)


remarks in debate assigning ``petty political gain'' as the motivation 
for a presidential veto do not constitute an unparliamentary reference 
  to the president, as the term ``petty'' can be taken simply to mean 
       ``small, minor, or having secondary rank or importance.''

                                    

 under clause 4 of rule xiv, the chair rules on the propriety of words 
   spoken in debate as transcribed and read by the clerk, and not as 
                otherwise alleged to have been uttered.

                                    

  On June 9, 1992, Mr. DeFAZIO during one minute speeches addressed the 
House and, during the course of his remarks,
  Mr. WALKER demanded that certain words be taken down.
  The Clerk read the words taken down as follows:

       Once again he has threatened to deny the reality of 
     unemployment and veto the unemployment benefit extension for 
     his own petty political gain.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MFUME, held the words taken down 
did not transgress the rules of the House, and said:
  ``The Chair has referred to Webster's Dictionary. The primary 
definition is: 'small, minor, having secondary rank or importance: 
having little or no importance or significance: marked by or reflective 
of narrow interests and sympathies.'
  ``The Chair rules that in the opinion of the Chair that does not 
transgress the rules of the House.''.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MFUME, in response to a parliamentary 
inquiry made by the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Walker] wherein he 
questioned the words being correctly reported by the Clerk and that 
they should have included the phrase, ``his own petty personal 
political gains'', said:
  ``The Chair, in response to the gentleman's inquiry (point of order), 
reported the words that were handed to the Chair as recorded. The Chair 
believes, however, the gentleman from Oregon, for the sake of debate, 
will find it in order to withdraw the word `personal' if, in fact, it 
was uttered.''.
  By unanimous consent, Mr. DeFAZIO withdrew the word, ``personal'', 
from the remarks.

                             point of order

                              (Para. 71.6)


the committee on rules may, without violating clause 4(b) of rule xi or 
 rule xlii (incorporating from jefferson's manual general standards of 
 minority protection), recommend a special order that limits but does 
not wholly preclude a motion to recommit after the previous question is 
ordered on passage of a bill or joint resolution, such as one providing 
             that the motion may not contain instructions.

                                    

clause 4 of rule xvi does not guarantee that a motion to recommit after 
    the previous question is ordered on passage of a bill or joint 
              resolution always may include instructions.

                                    

    a special order that does not preclude altogether the motion to 
 recommit does not ``prevent the motion to recommit from being made as 
                  provided in clause 4 of rule xvi.''

                                    

  the house laid on the table an appeal from a ruling of the speaker.

                                    

  On June 16, 1992, Mr. WHEAT, by direction of the Committee on Rules, 
called up the following resolution (H. Res. 480):

       Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this 
     resolution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule 
     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the State of the Union for the consideration 
     of the bill (S. 250) to establish national voter registration 
     procedures for Federal elections, and for other purposes, and 
     the first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. After 
     general debate, which shall be confined to the bill and which 
     shall not exceed one hour to be equally divided and 
     controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
     Committee on House Administration, the bill shall be con- 

[[Page 3261]]

     sidered as having been read under the five-minute rule. No 
     amendment to the bill shall be in order except the amendment 
     printed in the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying 
     this resolution. Said amendment shall be considered as having 
     been read, shall be debatable for not to exceed one hour, 
     equally divided and controlled by the proponent and a member 
     opposed thereto. Said amendment shall not be subject to 
     amendment. At the conclusion of the consideration of the bill 
     for amendment, the Committee shall rise and report the bill 
     to the House, and the previous question shall be considered 
     as ordered on the bill to final passage without intervening 
     motion except one motion to recommit which may not contain 
     instructions.

  Pending consideration of said resolution,

                             point of order

                              (Para. 71.7)

  Mr. SOLOMON made a point of order against the consideration of the 
resolution, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, let me say at the outset that I regret that it is even 
necessary to raise this point of order. As you will recall, in January 
of last year I presented you, Mr. Speaker, with a 48-page paper 
documenting the precedents and history behind the rules which guarantee 
to the minority the right to offer a motion to recommit a bill of its 
choosing--including one with instructions.
  ``Then last June we sat down in your office with the Republican 
leader, the majority leader, and the Rules Committee chairman, and 
myself, and it was agreed that the Rules Committee would further look 
into our complaints about being denied our right to offer recommittal 
instructions on certain bills.
  ``The Rules Committee's Subcommittee on Rules of the House finally 
did hold a hearing on May 6 of this year, but no report has yet been 
issued as a result of that hearing and study.
  ``As the Speaker well knows, the whole purpose of the Rules Committee 
study of this controversy was to attempt to reach some kind of 
accommodation between the majority and minority over the issue of 
restricting our right to recommit bills.
  ``I am certain the Speaker did not have in mind that a hearing alone, 
without any subsequent effort to solve this problem, would suffice, and 
I know that. A hearing alone does not constitute a good-faith effort to 
reach accommodation.
  ``Having said all that, Mr. Speaker, permit me once again to make the 
case for this point of order. The rule before us allows for one motion 
to recommit but goes on to say that the motion `may not contain 
instructions.'
  ``Mr. Speaker, again I have to repeat, clause 4(b) of House rule XI 
provides that the Rules Committee `shall not report any rule or order * 
* * which would prevent the motion to recommit from being made as 
provided in clause 4 of rule XVI.'
  ``And clause 4 of rule XVI, at the relevant part, states that:

       After the previous question shall have been ordered on the 
     passage of a bill or joint resolution one motion to recommit 
     shall be in order and the Speaker shall give preference in 
     recognition to a Member who is opposed to the bill or joint 
     resolution.

  ``Mr. Speaker, it can hardly be argued that by denying any 
instructions in a motion to recommit, the right of the minority Member 
entitled to offer that motion is being preserved or protected. When the 
rule issued by the majority's Committee on Rules dictates that the 
minority Member may only offer a straight motion to recommit, that 
Member is deprived of the right to offer a motion of his or her 
choosing.
  ``Mr. Speaker, it must be remembered that before these two rules were 
adopted in 1909, the House already had a rule, dating back to 1880, 
allowing for a motion to recommit, with or without instructions, either 
before or after the previous question is ordered. That rule is rule 
XVII, clause 1 and is still a part of our rules today under which we 
are supposed to be operating here.
  ``As the Speaker will recall from the paper I presented him in 
January 1991, in 1909 the new recommit rule was offered by a minority 
Member of this House, Democrat John Fitzgerald from my State of New 
York, specifically giving that motion to the minority. And at the same 
time, a rule was adopted, which we now call clause 4(b) of rule XI, to 
prevent the Rules Committee from ever denying the minority that right.
  ``In offering those two rules changes, Representative Fitzgerald 
said, and I quote once again, and I hate to take the Speaker's time but 
it has to be said:

       Under our present practice, if a Member desires to move to 
     recommit with instructions, the Speaker instead of 
     recognizing a Member desiring to submit a specific 
     proposition by instructions, recognizes the gentleman in 
     charge of the bill.

  ``In other words, Mr. Speaker, up to that point, the Speaker could 
recognize the majority manager to offer the motion to recommit and 
thereby prevent the minority from offering such a motion with 
instructions in the way of a final amendment.
  ``And Fitzgerald went on to say, and again I quote:

       Under our practice, the motion to recommit might better by 
     eliminated from the rules altogether.

  ``In short, Mr. Speaker, the whole purpose for the new rule was to 
permit the minority to offer a motion to recommit with instructions if 
it so desired. On May 14, 1912, Speaker Champ Clark, another Democrat, 
and I used to be one, Mr. Speaker--I have researched all these 
Democrats.
  ``Champ Clark, a Democrat from Missouri, upheld a point of order 
against a rule denying a motion to recommit by pointing to Jefferson's 
Manual in which Jefferson observed that rules are instituted in 
parliamentary bodies as a check against action of the majority and a 
shelter and protection to the minority.
  ``Clark concluded on this point by ruling that, and I quote, `it was 
intended that the right to make the motion to recommit should be 
preserved inviolate.'
  ``On October 17, 1919, Speaker Gillett, a Republican from 
Massachusetts--we had Republicans from Massachusetts in those days--in 
overruling a point of order against a minority motion to recommit with 
instructions, said, and I quote:

       The fact is that a motion to recommit is intended to give 
     the minority one chance to fully express their views so long 
     as they are germane.

  ``Please note, Mr. Speaker, the only condition on that motion was the 
germaneness rule as found in the standing rules of the House.
  ``And he concluded:

       The whole purpose of this motion to recommit is to have a 
     record vote upon the program of the minority. That is the 
     main purpose of the motion to recommit.

  ``Mr. Speaker, the recent body of rulings upholding the right of the 
Rules Committee to deny the minority that right to offer amendatory 
instructions in the motion to recommit is based on a 1934 ruling by 
Speaker Rainey, another Democrat from Illinois, in which he overruled a 
point of order against a special rule that prohibited amendments to one 
title of the bill during its consideration.
  ``Speaker Rainey said that the special rule did not mention the 
motion to recommit which therefore could still be offered under the 
general rules of the House. And he went on to rely on the principle 
that one cannot do indirectly by way of a motion to recommit that which 
cannot be done directly by way of amendment. And since the special rule 
prohibited amendments to one title, the motion to recommit could not 
amend that title either.
  ``In short, Mr. Speaker, he held that a special rule prohibiting 
certain amendments had the same status as the standing rules of the 
House, even though the special rule was more restrictive than the 
standing rules, and in, fact, was a departure from those standing 
rules.
  ``Even a germane amendment could not be offered in the motion to 
recommit.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I have long maintained that the ruling of Speaker 
Rainey was wrongly decided. On the one hand, he tried to claim that the 
right of the motion to recommit was preserved under the general rules. 
But he then turned around and said the general rules of the House had 
no standing when it came to an amendment in the motion to recommit--
that the special rule from the Rules Committee had precedence.
  ``Mr. Speaker, you cannot have it both ways. To the extent that the 
Rules Committee limits or denies the motion to recommit in a way that 
departs from the general rules of this House that we operate under, it 
is violating the prohibition on it as contained in clause 4(b) of Rule 
XI.

[[Page 3262]]

  ``And I ask the Members to read the rules and see for yourselves.
  ``To paraphrase Speaker Champ Clark, the motion is no longer 
inviolate as it was intended to be. And that is wrong. Instead, the 
right has been grossly violated.
  ``Mr. Speaker, finally I will just point out that I am basing my 
point of order on House Rule XLII, which states, in part, and I quote:

       The Rules of parliamentary practice comprised in 
     Jefferson's Manual * * * shall govern the House in all cases 
     to which they are applicable and in which they are not 
     inconsistent with the standing rules and orders of the House 
     * * *.

  ``Mr. Speaker, I would maintain that in a case such as this, where 
there is ambiguity, Jefferson's Manual should be relied on as the final 
arbiter, just as Speaker Clark relied on it in his ruling in 1912 on 
this issue. And, to quote from section 1 of Jefferson's Manual, and I 
wish the Members would listen up because what we are trying to strive 
for here is fairness. It says:

       As it is always in the power of the majority, by their 
     numbers, to stop any improper measures proposed on the part 
     of their opponents,' the opponents being we, the minority, 
     `the only weapons by which the minority can defend themselves 
     against similar attempts from those in power are the forms 
     and rules of proceedings which have been adopted as they were 
     found necessary from time to time, and are become the law of 
     the House, by a strict adherence to which the weaker party 
     can only be protected from those irregularities and abuses 
     which these forms were intended to check.

  ``Mr. Speaker, that is terribly, terribly important.
  ``Jefferson concluded on this point as follows:

       It is much more material that there should be a rule to go 
     by than what that rule is; that there may be a uniformity of 
     proceeding in business not subject to the caprice of the 
     Speaker or captiousness of the Members. It is very material 
     that order, decency, and regularity be preserved in a 
     dignified public body.

  ``I repeat, Mr. Speaker, in a dignified and fair body.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I would submit that Jefferson's Manual, which is 
incorporated as part of the rules of the House, should be the final 
authority on this issue. And Jefferson's Manual clearly comes down on 
the side of minority rights which are protected under the standing 
rules of the House--the regular order of proceeding, which we defend 
every day.
  ``Mr. Speaker, to permit a special rule such as this to take priority 
is to give way to the caprice of the Speaker's Committee on Rules or 
the captiousness of the majority Members in abusing, indeed denying, 
the only protection and weapon which we, the minority have, and that is 
the standing, not special, the standing rules of this House.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I cannot make it any clearer. You are a fair man, a 
man respected by us; but you do represent all of us in this House, the 
majority and minority. And I know that you feel that way personally. 
And I would just hope for the good of this House and the future of this 
House and the future of your party, which may become a minority 
someday--we hope soon--I would hope that you would rule in my favor.''.
  Mr. WHEAT was recognized to speak to the point of order, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from New York makes the point of order 
that the rule limits the motion to recommit and therefore, according to 
the minority, the rules violates clause 4(b) of rule XI.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I respectfully disagree. Rule XI prohibits the Rules 
Committee from reporting a rule that: `would prevent the motion to 
recommit from being made as provided in clause 4 of rule XVI.'
  ``Clause 4 of rule XVI only addresses the simple motion to recommit. 
Nowhere are instructions mentioned.
  ``Mr. Speaker, the Rules Committee may report a rule limiting the 
motion to recommit. So long as the rule allows a simple motion to 
recommit, it does not violate clause 4(b) of rule XI.
  ``Mr. Speaker, this is a well-established parliamentary point. 
Speaker Rainey, on January 11, 1934, so ruled and was sustained on 
appeal.
  ``The point was reaffirmed five times in the last 2 years: October 
16, 1990; June 4, 1991; on November 25, 1991; February 26, 1992, and 
again 1 month ago, on May 7, 1992. Several times, the minority moved to 
appeal the ruling of the Chair. On each occasion the House voted to 
table the motion, sustaining the ruling.
  ``Mr. Speaker, the precedents were strengthened by the votes of the 
House. The House consistently supported our interpretation of the rule. 
Absent an intervening change in the rule, the chair would be 
constrained, in my opinion, to heed this interpretation.
  ``Finally, Mr. Speaker, the minority's position on the motion to 
recommit was seriously compromised, to my mind, by its support for 
House Resolution 450. House Resolution 450 was the rule providing for 
consideration of the balanced budget constitutional amendment.
  ``House Resolution 450 severely restricted the motion to recommit 
with instructions. Yet every member of the minority voting on the 
rule--except two--voted `aye.'
  ``In summary, Mr. Speaker, the precedents are clear, consistent, and 
unequivocal.
  ``Since 1934 there is not a single instance in which Speaker Rainey's 
interpretation was overturned. Not one rule limiting the motion to 
recommit was successfully challenged on a point of order.
  ``Moreover, the House spoke several times in the last 2 years to 
reaffirm and strengthen this position. And finally, Mr. Speaker, the 
House overwhelmingly supported--just last week--a rule limiting the 
motion to recommit.
  ``Search the Record and you will not find a single word of protest 
from the minority last week.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I urge you not to sustain the point of order.''.
  Mr. WALKER was recognized to speak to the point of order, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from Missouri [Mr. Wheat] cited as the 
principal evidence of the willingness of the House to abandons its 
minority right a series of votes that have taken place in recent years. 
Obviously, what we have there is the majority party muscling the 
minority party with its voting majority, and it has nothing to with the 
rules of the House or the kind of precedents that protect minority 
rights.
  ``If in fact what we have decided is that the minority is always at 
the mercy of the majority's ability to change the rules, then the 
Chair, it seems to me, does rule against the gentleman from New York, 
and that would be a travesty. If what the Chair is concerned about 
doing is protecting the minority, as it is supposed to be protected 
under the rules, then the Chair, I think, has no other duty than to 
rule in favor of the point of order of the gentleman from New York, 
because it is clear in this particular instance that to rule against 
the point of order of the gentleman from New York is to really rule 
that the minority has no real position under the rules, and that any 
position the minority has under the rules is conveniently stripped by a 
majority vote of the majority party. That would be a travesty that goes 
against everything the House is supposed to stand for in debate, and I 
would hope that the Chair would rule in favor of the point of order 
raised by the gentleman from New York [Mr. Solomon].''.
  The SPEAKER overruled the point of order, and said:
  ``The gentleman from New York [Mr. Solomon] has made a point of order 
against consideration of House Resolution 480 and, based on arguments 
made previously by the gentleman from New York, has insisted that in 
denying the motion to recommit with instructions and providing 
authority only for a motion to recommit, the committee has violated 
House rules and a point of order should be sustained against the 
resolution.
  ``Under the precedents of October 16, 1990, February 26, 1992, and 
May 7, 1992, all of which, as the gentleman correctly points out, stem 
from the precedent of January 11, 1934, the Chair is constrained to 
overrule the point of order.''.
  Mr. SOLOMON appealed the ruling of the Chair.
  Mr. WHEAT moved to lay the appeal on the table.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House lay on the table the appeal of the ruling of the 
Chair?
  The SPEAKER announced that the nays had it.
  Mr. WHEAT objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not

                             point of order

                              (Para. 81.15)


     under clause 2(c) of rule xxi, a motion to recommit a general 
appropriation bill with instructions to insert an amendment in the form 
of a limitation on funds therein is not in order where that limitation 
  was not considered in the committee of the whole pursuant to clause 
                           2(d) of that rule.

                                    

the consideration of certain limitation amendments in the committee of 
the whole in accordance with clause 2(d) of rule xxi does not relieve a 
     new limitation amendment from the constraints of that rule in 
                              recommittal.

                                    

  On July 1, 1992, the bill (H.R. 5488) making appropriations for the 
Treasury Department, the United States Postal Service, the Executive 
Office of the President, and certain Independent Agencies, for the 
fiscal year ending September 30, 1993, and for other pur- 
poses; was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time by title.
  Mr. MYERS moved to recommit the bill to the Committee on 
Appropriations with instructions to report the bill back to the House 
forthwith with the following amendment:

       None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available 
     in this Act shall be made available to an entity when it 
     shall be made known to the Secretary that such entity has an 
     announced policy of denying funds to the Boy Scouts of 
     America and the activities of the Boy Scouts of America.

  Pending consideration of said motion,


                             point of order

                              (Para. 81.31)

  Mr. ROYBAL made a point of order against said motion, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order against the motion to recommit 
with instructions because it includes a limitation and is not in order 
under clause 2, rule XXI. Under the precedents of the House, it is not 
competent for the House to amend the bill in the manner proposed 
because it is not in order for the House to instruct the committee to 
do what the House itself could not do.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I quote from the `Precedents of the House of 
Representatives':

       It is not in order to do indirectly by a motion to commit 
     with instructions what may not be done directly by way of 
     amendment. (Hinds': Vol. 5, paragraph 5529)

  Also, Mr. Speaker, a point of order was sustained on a motion to 
recommit with instructions because, and I quote:

       It is clear that the amendment offered by way of matter 
     contained in the motion to recommit * * * would not have been 
     in order if offered as an amendment * * * (Cannon's: Vol. 
     VIII, paragraph 2705)

  ``Mr. Speaker, the gentleman's motion to instruct includes a 
limitation not specifically contained or authorized in existing law and 
not considered in the Committee of the Whole pursuant to clause 2(d) of 
rule XXI.
  ``I ask for a ruling from the Chair.''.
  Mr. MYERS was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, it is clear that instructions may not propose 
legislation or unauthorized appropriations by way of an amendment. This 
is strictly a limiting period. On that issue, on August 1, 1989, 
Speaker Foley ruled that in the opinion of the Chair, ruling on this 
matter of first impression, that the clear language of clause 2(c), 
cited by the Chairman here, of rule XXI, prohibits limiting amendments 
from being contained in a motion to recommit since no limitation 
amendment was permitted by the Committee of the Whole under clause 2(d) 
of that rule.
  ``Here a number of limitation amendments have been considered and 
were passed and become part of the law. So clearly limitations have 
already become part of this law. Likewise, that consideration is past, 
we have already considered limitations, and this is just 
one more limitation which the rules clearly understand.
  ``Further, the Chair has ruled in the past, on January 11, 1934, that 
rules prohibiting certain amendments during consideration of a general 
appropriation bill would not distinguish them.
  ``But here limitations have already been passed. It is clear that 
this Chair has ruled on them. The Committee has accepted one or two. So 
the ruling on limitations has already been considered by this House and 
passed.''.
  Mr. WALKER was recognized to speak to the point of order, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, as the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Myers] has cited, 
the precedents on this will not hold in this instance where the 
Committee has in fact adopted funds limitation amendments.
  ``The gentleman from Virginia [Mr. Wolf] offered a funds limitation 
amendment. It was accepted by the House. It was exactly the same kind 
of fund limitation that the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Myers] now 
seeks to offer in the motion to recommit. It was a none of these funds 
amendment may be made available by this act.
  ``That is precisely what the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Myers] has 
in his motion to recommit. The Committee has decided to take such 
amendments in this particular bill. So, therefore, it is entirely in 
order for the gentleman from Indiana to offer such an amendment as a 
part of his motion to recommit.''.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, sustained the point of order, 
and said:
  ``The Chair is prepared to rule. The gentleman from California [Mr. 
Roybal] correctly cites the ruling on page 600 of the manual as held by 
Speaker Foley on August 1 and 3, 1989. The point of order is sustained. 
The motion of the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Myers] is not in 
order.''.
  Mr. MYERS moved to recommit the bill to the Committee on 
Appropriations with instructions to report the bill back to the House 
forthwith with the following amendment:

       On page 76, line 20, strike ``or any successor 
     organization''.

  After debate,
  By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered on the motion

                              (Para. 85.3)


    remarks in debate characterizing confirmation proceedings in a 
committee of the senate as a continuation of its ``downhill slide'' are 
                            unparliamentary.

                                    

  On July 9, 1992, Mr. CONYERS during one minute speeches addressed the 
House and, during the course of his remarks,
  Mr. SENSENBRENNER demanded that certain words be taken down.
  The Clerk read the words taken down as follows:
       In continuing its downhill slide, the Senate Judiciary 
     Committee has recommended by a 10-to-4 vote approval of the 
     nomination of Edward Carnes to the 11th Circuit Court of 
     Appeals. The simple fact is that Edward Carnes is unfit to 
     serve on the Federal bench. His executioner mentality and 
     active support for racial discrimination with the Alabama 
     criminal justice system, and his failure to understand the 
     concept of equal * * *.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, held the words taken down to be 
unparliamentary, and said:
  ``According to Jefferson's Manual, section 371, page 175, the Chair 
rules that critical references to the Senate or committees of the 
Senate are not permitted under the rules of the House.
  ``Without objection, the Member's words will be stricken.''.
  By unanimous consent, the words ruled unparliamentary were stricken 
from the Congressional Record.
  By unanimous consent, Mr. CONYERS was permitted to proceed in order.


                        privileges of the house

                              (Para. 87.6)


    a resolution directing the committee on house administration to 
transmit to the committee on standards of official conduct all records 
obtained by its task force to investigate the operation and management 
 of the house post office, to make records available for review by the 
 department of justice, and to tender recommendations to the speaker, 
the majority and minority leaders, and the director of non-legislative 
 and financial services, gives rise to a question of the privileges of 
                        the house under rule ix.

                                    

  On July 22, 1992, Mr. ROSE rose to a question of the privileges of 
the House and submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 518):

       Whereas the Committee on House Administration has ordered 
     reported the findings of the Committee Task Force to 
     Investigate the Operation and Management of the House Post 
     Office; and
       Whereas matters have been raised which may inpugn the 
     integrity of the House: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Committee on House Administration is 
     directed to--
       (1) transmit to the Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct the committee report and all records obtained by the 
     Task Force pursuant to House Resolution 340, One Hundred 
     Second Congress;
       (2) make available the committee report and all records 
     obtained by the Task Force pursuant to House Resolution 340 
     to the United States Department of Justice for inspection in 
     the Committee offices; and
       (3) send a letter with specific recommendations to the 
     Speaker of the House, the majority and minority leaders, and 
     the Director of Non-Legislative and Financial Services.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mrs. SCHROEDER, ruled that the resolution 
submitted did present a question of the privileges of the House under 
rule IX.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. ROSE, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection.
  The question being put viva voce,

                              (Para. 87.9)


 a resolution directing the committee on standards of official conduct 
to investigate allegations of improprieties by members or staff in the 
 conduct of an internal investigation previously ordered by the house 
 gives rise to a question of the privileges of the house under rule ix.

                                    

  On July 22, 1992, Mr. THOMAS of California rose to a question of the 
privileges of the House and submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 
519):

       Whereas, pursuant to H. Res. 340, the Committee on House 
     Administration was directed to investigate the operation and 
     management of the Office of the Postmaster and;
       Whereas, the Committee on House Administration Task Force 
     to Investigate the Operation and Management of the Office of 
     the Postmaster required all Task Force staff to agree in 
     writing, by signing an Agreement of Confidentiality, not to 
     disclose any information relating to the investigation prior 
     to such time as the Task Force has released its final report 
     and;
       Whereas, confidential information from the Task Force draft 
     report appeared in the July 10, 1992 and July 11, 1992 issues 
     of The Washington Times and the July 13, 1992 issue of Roll 
     Call and;
       Whereas, a Member of the Task Force, in an attempt to 
     influence the contents of the 
     final Task Force report, placed a phone call to a Member not 
     on the Task Force regarding confidential information in the 
     Task Force draft report; and
       Whereas, House Rule XLIII (the Code of Official Conduct), 
     Section 1, requires that a ``Member, officer, or employee of 
     the House of Representatives shall conduct himself at all 
     times in a manner which shall reflect creditably on the House 
     of Representatives;''
       Resolved, That the House of Representatives directs the 
     Committee on Standards of Official Conduct to investigate 
     violations of the Agreement of Confidentiality of the 
     Committee on House Administration Task Force to Investigate 
     the Operation and Management of the Office of the Postmaster, 
     and to determine whether the conduct of any Task Force Member 
     who attempted to influence the content of the final Task 
     Force report by calling any Member not on the Task Force 
     regarding confidential information in the Task Force draft 
     report violated House Rule XLIII, the Code of Official 
     Conduct.

submitted did present a question of the privileges of the House under 
rule IX.

                              (Para. 88.18)


 a resolution alleging that certain members and staff of the committee 
   on house administration had disseminated written material falsely 
purporting to constitute a report of its task force to investigate the 
operation and management of the house post office and defaming a member 
 of the house, and resolving that the committee be directed to issue a 
 written apology and take specified remedial actions, gives rise to a 
         question of the privileges of the house under rule ix.

                                    

  On July 23, 1992, Mr. OLVER rose to a question of the privileges of 
the House and submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 525):

       Whereas on July 22, 1992 the Republican Members and staff 
     of the Committee on House Administration and the Committee's 
     Task Force to Investigate the Operation and Management of the 
     Office of the Postmaster disseminated to the media and the 
     public a document which although entitled ``Report of the 
     Committee on House Administration Task Force to Investigate 
     the Operation and Management of the Office of the 
     Postmaster'' was in fact not the report of the Task Force but 
     rather a report of the Republican Members of the Task Force; 
     and,
       Whereas at page 52 of that document the Republican Members 
     of the Task Force indicate that a post office box was 
     retained at the Brentwood Post Office on behalf of 
     Representative John Olver and that the retention of such a 
     post office box might raise certain concerns; and,
       Whereas in fact the post office box referred to in the 
     Report of the Republican Members of the Task Force was 
     retained not by or on behalf of Representative Olver, a 
     Member of the Democratic Party but instead on behalf of 
     Representative Olver's predecessor, a Member of the 
     Republican Party: and,
       Whereas the inclusion of this false, incorrect, and 
     improper reference to Representative Olver, and the 
     widespread dissemination of the false, incorrect and improper 
     information has caused unwarranted injury to the reputation 
     and good name of Representative Olver, it is therefore,
       Resolved, That the Committee on House Administration is 
     hereby directed to issue a formal apology to Representative 
     Olver and such apology shall be personally signed by 
     all Members of the Task Force, and it is further,
       Resolved, That any and all printing, distribution or other 
     dissemination of the Republican Members Report shall cease 
     and desist until such time as the text of the Republican 
     Members Report is corrected to accurately reflect that 
     Representative Olver did not have a post office box retained 
     on his behalf, and it is further,
       Resolved, That the Chairman of the Committee on House 
     Administration is hereby directed to determine the cause of 
     the incorrect attribution of a post office box retained on 
     behalf of a Member of the Republican Party to a Member of the 
     Democratic Party in the Report of the Republican Members of 
     the Task Force, who was responsible for the publication and 
     dissemination of this false information and whether further 
     inquiry is warranted to determine whether the publication and 
     dissemination of this falsehood constitute the violation of 
     any Rule of the House or applicable legal standard.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. GEPHARDT, ruled that the resolution 
submitted did present a question of the privileges of the House under 
rule IX.
  After debate,
  Mr. OLVER, withdrew said resolution.

  On July 22, 1992, Mr. WALKER rose to a question of the privileges of 
the House and submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 526):

       Whereas on July 22, 1992, the House of Representatives 
     voted to transmit to the Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct the Committee Report and all records obtained by the 
     Task Force to Investigate the Operation and Management of the 
     House Post Office;
       Whereas the Majority has selectively included portions of 
     the transcript of the proceedings of the Task Force in the 
     Appendix to their Report; and
       Whereas matters have been raised which impugn the integrity 
     of the proceedings of the House of Representatives: Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Committee on House Administration is 
     directed to make public complete transcripts of all 
     proceedings of the Task Force, including depositions and 
     statements of witnesses.

  The SPEAKER ruled that the resolution submitted did present a 
question of the privileges of the House under rule IX.
  After debate,
  Mr. KLECZKA moved to lay the resolution on the table.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House lay the resolution on the table?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. DERRICK, announced that the yeas had it.
  On a division demanded by Mr. WALKER, there appeared, yeas--18, 
nays--17.
  Mr. WALKER objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not

  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken

                        privileges of the house

                              (Para. 93.12)


    a resolution directing the committee on house administration to 
 prohibit payment for franked mass mailings outside of the district a 
 member represents mandating immediate implementation of an introduced 
 bill constitutes a proposal to change the application of rule xlvi in 
cases of redistricting, and as such does not give rise to a question of 
               the privileges of the house under rule ix.

                                    

a question of the privileges of the house may not be invoked to effect 
 a change in the rules of the house or in their interpretation, or to 
                effect a change in the operation of law.

                                    

  On July 30, 1992, Mr. THOMAS of California rose to a question of the 
privileges of the House and submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 
533):

       Whereas, the House of Representatives acted on April 8, 
     1992 and passed by a vote of 408 a motion to recommit the 
     conference report on the bill S. 3 instructing conferees to 
     include the provisions of the bill HR 4104 and;
       Whereas, the House voted on June 24, 1992, by a margin of 
     4172 to include HR 4104 in the Legislative Branch 
     appropriations for FY 1993 and;
       Whereas the US Court of Appeals has on July 30, 1992 
     declared section 3210(d)(1)(B) of Title 39 of the US Code 
     unconstitutional under the First and Fifth Amendments thereby 
     removing the authority of members of Congress to frank mass 
     mailings to areas outside the district from which the member 
     was elected, and;
       Whereas, members of the House have engaged in activities 
     now declared by the courts as unconstitutional; and
       Whereas such activities impugn the integrity of the 
     proceedings of the House now therefore be it resolved:
       Resolved, That the House of Representatives directs the 
     Committee on House Administration to prohibit payment from 
     any account for the purpose of mass mailings franked outside 
     the district from which the member was elected and further 
     that the provisions of HR 4104 be implemented immediately.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MFUME, ruled that the resolution 
submitted did not present a question of the privileges of the House 
under rule IX, and said:
  ``The Chair will rule. The Chair's understanding is that the 
resolution essentially directs a rules change by immediate 
implementation of an introduced bill which then is not a question of 
privilege. The resolution does not constitute a question of 
privilege.''.

                      point of personal privilege

                              (Para. 94.22)


a member rose to a question of personal privilege under rule ix on the 
    basis of the falsification of an interview with the member by a 
                    television network news program.

                                    

  On July 31, 1992, Mr. COX of California rose to a question of 
personal privilege.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. ANDREWS of Texas, pursuant to clause 1 
of rule IX, recognized Mr. COX of California for one hour.

  Mr. COX of California made the following statement:

  ``Mr. Speaker, this morning I witnessed a drive-by shooting on ABC 
television on `Good Morning America.' I witnessed it, and indeed I was 
in it.

  ``Yesterday, ABC came by my office to film me for 30 minutes, to talk 
about the Presidential campaign. They were interested because the 
President, President Bush is visiting my district in California today 
and yesterday. They were interested because poll numbers show the 
President faring less well than he has been faring in the past in 
California, specifically and nationally, and they wanted to get the 
view of a Member of Congress from California.

  ``For 30 minutes during this interview with ABC I was unstintingly 
supportive of President Bush, very bullish about his prospects, very 
critical of the Democratic nominee for President, Bill Clinton.

  ``I told the reporters that this Congress was in fact very much 
responsible for the economic gridlock that America is now experiencing, 
that President Bush has sent an economic growth package to this 
Congress and the Congress has not acted upon it, that President Bush 
has pushed for the balanced budget amendment in Congress, but Congress 
has not acted on it, that President Bush has pushed for the line-item 
veto, and just very recently in this Congress we have been having vote 
after vote on the line-item veto, and this Congress is standing in the 
doorway preventing it from happening.

  ``Yes, I said, the economy could be doing better, yes, I said, in 
California there are some people who, no question, are hurting. They 
want change, but what we must change is the Democratic leadership of 
this Congress, where we have not had a Republican Speaker since this 
Member was 2 years old, since 1954. That is what I told the reporters.

  ``This morning I was interested to watch `Good Morning, America.' 
First they began with a very positive piece about Bill Clinton, 
criticizing President Bush on the economy. The reporter then said that 
the President is being criticized by Republican Members asking him to 
focus more on the economy. And as the reporter said that, this Member's 
face was on the screen and my lips were moving, but it was not my 
voice. I never said any such thing. And when they started playing my 
voice, what they left, the only audible part was, `Yes, the economy 
could be doing better and people do want change.' Of course, the rest 
of what I said, that they want change in Congress, this is where the 
gridlock is occurring and this is where the President has been stymied 
on his economic growth package, on the balanced-budget amendment, on 
tax relief, and on the line-item veto, all of that was cut out.

  ``Now, this was not the first time that I have had this experience 
with media bias. Not too long ago, NBC's `Today Show' followed me 
around in California for an entire day.

  ``On that same day, Bill Clinton happened to be in my district. Bill 
Clinton was speaking very near to my office. CNN filmed me standing in 
front of Bill Clinton's appearance, and I was very critical of Bill 
Clinton, very critical of the 128 instances in which he raised taxes in 
Arkansas; very critical of his record.

  ``CNN dutifully reported what I said. And they had me saying just 
that.

  ``NBC, which was following me around the whole day, filmed me talking 
to the CNN reporters with a microphone under my chin and a camera on 
me. But when I appeared on the `Today Show,' those were not the words 
coming out of my mouth, they were words from a different interview at a 
different location, even though it appeared I was doing a stand-up.

  ``And I was talking about the need for change in the Congress, the 
same things: Since 1954, one-party control, Americans do want change, I 
said.

  ``What appeared in the context of a very pro-Clinton piece was 
Congressman Chris Cox saying, `Well, the economy isn't doing well and 
we need change.' And the suggestion was that Bill Clinton is that 
change, and I was somehow supportive of Bill Clinton instead of 
President George Bush.

  ``Nothing could be further from the truth.

  ``So I was prepared yesterday for this 30-minute interview, during 
which time after time after time I spoke not only of my support for the 
President and my optimism about his chances for reelection because much 
is going to change between now and Labor Day and certainly between 
Labor Day and the election, and I even took the trouble to speak not in 
paragraphs and sentences discursively, but in sound bits. And I said, 
`You mark my words,' and ABC has this on tape:

       You mark my words, George Bush is going to be reelected; he 
     is going to be reelected by a healthy margin: we are going to 
     have strong Republican gains in the Congress. Bill Clinton is 
     going to go the way of Jimmy Carter and Hillary Clinton is 
     going to be remembered as the Winnie Mandela of American 
     politics.

  ``Now, that does not sound very critical of George Bush. But what 
ended up on television was this spot, first very positive about Bill 
Clinton and then a piece saying, `Republicans are saying George Bush 
should focus more attention on the economy,' and then Chris Cox saying, 
`The economy could do better, we need change,' followed, I should add, 
by another fellow who came out and said, `George Bush should get off 
the ticket.' Then the ABC reporter says, `The Bush campaign is shirking 
these acts of Republican treason.'

  ``Now, it is not that hard in America these days to find critics of 
the President. A reliable news organization can go gather testimony 
against President Bush and for Bill Clinton. It is not hard to do. They 
do not have to take words like that and put them in my mouth. Yet that 
is exactly what happened.

  ``This is a clear case of distortion. I am delighted to have this 
opportunity to correct the record.

  ``The fact is, my colleagues, democracy only works--democracy only 
works when there is freely available information and when the facts are 
before the American people. If we distort those facts or change them 
180 degrees as happened here, then, no question, democracy is going to 
fail.

  ``This morning, ABC stood for all bias for Clinton. I would like to 
see that corrected. In fact, I have discussed this with executives at 
ABC News. They have issued to me a letter of apology. I have undertaken 
to them to keep that letter confidential. I appreciated that they gave 
it to me. I will share it with the President and with Marlin Fitzwater.

  ``But I want my colleagues to know that I am indeed working very hard 
for the reelection of this President, that I am urging all of my 
colleagues to do the same. And of course I will be abroad throughout 
California making sure those poll numbers that we have seen serve only 
as a wake-up call to those for us who intend to work very hard for the 
President's reelection.

  ``Our economy depends upon it. As I said repeatedly during this 30 
minutes that they got on tape yesterday, the President's economic 
growth plan has been blocked here in Congress. The President's plan for 
tax relief has been blocked here in Congress, the President's plan for 
a balanced-budget amendment has been blocked in Congress, the 
President's plan for a line-item veto, which even Bill Clinton 
supports, has been blocked here in this Congress. This is where the 
gridlock is occurring. This is where the change is required.

  ``I am very much looking forward to working with my future colleagues 
after November so that perhaps we will have a better opportunity to 
bust up the gridlock and move the economy forward and give some relief 
to the beleaguered American people.''.

                        privileges of the house

                              (Para. 108.5)


 a resolution alleging willful unauthorized disclosures of classified 
information by a member and calling upon the committee on standards of 
  official conduct to investigate and report thereon gives rise to a 
         question of the privileges of the house under rule ix.

                                    

  On September 18, 1992, Mr. COMBEST rose to a question of the 
privileges of the House and submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 
572):

       Whereas on March 2, 1992, Representative Henry B. Gonzalez 
     knowingly and willfully inserted in the Congressional Record 
     documents of the Executive Branch bearing markings, 
     indicating that they were classified for reasons of national 
     security;
       Whereas on July 7, 1992, Representative Gonzalez willfully 
     disclosed information from a purported Central Intelligence 
     Agency intelligence document which he publicly acknowledged 
     at that time to be classified;
       Whereas on September 14, 1992, Representative Gonzalez 
     willfully disclosed information from a Central Intelligence 
     Agency document classified as ``Secret'' in its entirety, 
     which he acknowledged is still classified;
       Whereas the Director of Central Intelligence, Robert M. 
     Gates, has indicated in writing that Representative 
     Gonzalez's ``statement in the Congressional Record on 7 July 
     1992 included information from TOP SECRET compartmented and 
     particularly sensitive document'' to which the Central 
     Intelligence Agency had given his commitment staff access;
       Whereas the Director of Central Intelligence further stated 
     in writing to Representative Gonzalez, regarding his July 7, 
     1992, statement in the Congressional Record, that, ``Because 
     of the sources and methods under that information, I will ask 
     for a damage assessment to determine the impact of the 
     disclosure. I regret that you chose to discuss information 
     from classified documents without attempting to determine if 
     we could work out a way to satisfy . . .  our need to protect 
     intelligence sources and methods'';
       Whereas the Acting Director of Central Intelligence, 
     Admiral William O. Studeman, has confirmed in writing to 
     Representative Gonzalez that portions of statements in the 
     Congressional Record by Representative Gonzalez on July 21 
     and 27, 1992, ``were drawn from classified intelligence 
     documents, some of which are Top Secret, compartmented, and 
     particularly sensitive'';
       Whereas the Acting Director of Central Intelligence has 
     stated in writing to Representative Gonzalez, regarding this 
     statements in the Congressional Records of July 21 and 27, 
     1992, that, ``I have asked the Office of Security of the 
     Central Intelligence Agency to undertake a review of your 
     statements in order to determine the impact of the 
     disclosures of intelligence information on intelligence 
     sources and methods'';
       Whereas the Department of State has confirmed in writing 
     that, over a number of days, Representative Gonzalez 
     ``inserted into the Congressional Record the full text of at 
     least fourteen classified documents generated by the 
     Department of State,'' and the Department of State indicated 
     further that those documents ``contain classified information 
     involving sensitive diplomatic discussions'';
       Whereas the Treasury Department has indicated in writing 
     ``very serious concerns'' over Representative Gonzalez's 
     ``disclosures of classified information in the Congressional 
     Record'' which included information from a classified 
     Treasury Department document;
       Whereas on numerous other occasions Representative Gonzalez 
     has knowingly and willfully disclosed in the Congressional 
     Record information from Executive Branch documents which are 
     apparently classified for reasons of national security;
       Whereas the classified documents in question were 
     apparently made available to the Committee on Banking, 
     Finance and Urban Affairs by Executive Branch agencies in 
     good faith cooperation with a committee investigation and 
     with the expectation that access would be restricted to 
     persons with appropriate security clearances;
       Whereas the public disclosure of information from the 
     classified documents in question was not necessary for 
     legitimate legislative oversight, and the Committee on 
     Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs apparently has not voted 
     to disclose publicly those classified documents;
       Whereas the public disclosure of the contents of the 
     classified documents in question appears to be detrimental to 
     the national security and foreign policy interests of the 
     United States;
       Whereas the conduct of Representative Gonzalez raises 
     serious questions of possible violations of Clauses 1 and 2 
     of Rule XLIII (Code of Official Conduct) and possibly of 
     Clause 2(k)(7) of Rule XI' (Rules of Procedures for 
     Committees) of the House;
       Whereas the knowing, unilateral and unauthorized disclosure 
     of classified information by Representative Gonzalez 
     seriously imperils the spirit of mutual cooperation and trust 
     between the Congress and the Executive Branch so critical to 
     effective legislative oversight;
       Whereas the nature and gravity of the conduct of 
     Representative Gonzalez is such that the reputation and 
     dignity of the House as an institution and the integrity of 
     its proceedings, especially its oversight activities, may 
     well be adversely affected;
       Whereas Representative Gonzalez willfully continues to 
     disclose publicly information from classified documents; and
       Whereas in the interest of a prompt and fair resolution of 
     the serious questions raised regarding the apparent 
     unauthorized disclosure of classified information in seeming 
     violation of the Rules of the House of Representatives: Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct is directed to investigate whether Representative 
     Gonzalez has, during the Second Session of the One Hundred 
     and Second Congress, publicly disclosed classified 
     information in the Congressional Record, and in so doing 
     violated the Rules of the House of Representatives or any 
     duly constituted committees. All other committees, and all 
     Members, officers, or employees of the House who may have 
     information relevant to this investigation are directed to 
     cooperate promptly with the Committee on Standards subject to 
     procedures the Committee shall adopt necessary to protect 
     from unauthorized disclosure classified information which may 
     be transmitted to the Committee pursuant to this 
     investigation. The Committee on Standards of Official Conduct 
     shall promptly report its findings and any recommendations to 
     the House.

  The SPEAKER ruled that the resolution submitted did present a 
question of the privileges of the House under rule IX.
  Mr. BONIOR moved to lay the resolution on the table.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House lay the resolution on the table?
  The SPEAKER announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. COMBEST demanded that the vote be taken by the yeas and nays, 
which demand was supported by one-fifth of the Members present, so the 
yeas and nays were ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device.

                             point of order

                             (Para. 110.49)


 a motion that the house suspend the rules and pass a bill waives all 
 parliamentary obstacles to that end, including any requirement that a 
    bill be reported from committee with a quorum actually present.

                                    

  On September 22, 1992, Mr. WAXMAN moved to suspend the rules and pass 
the bill (H.R. 5938) to amend the Public Health Service Act to 
establish the authority for the regulation of mammography services and 
radiological equipment, and for other purposes; as amended.
  Pending consideration of said motion,


                             point of order

                             (Para. 110.50)

  Mr. DANNEMEYER made a point of order against the motion to suspend 
the rules and pass the bill, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, my point of order is basically this: When this 
legislation was taken up in the Committee on Energy and Commerce, this 
Member from California objected that there was not a quorum present in 
order to reach the requisite minimum of 23 to vote it out of the 
committee.
  ``Before the vote was taken to move it out of committee, the chairman 
of the committee, the gentleman from Michigan [Mr. Dingell], 
unilaterally declared the presence of a quorum, when in fact there were 
no more than 16 or 17 members present. That unilateral declaration of 
existence of a quorum, in my judgment, is a violation of the rules, 
because he did not count at all. He just sat there and said, like 
creating a fiction out of the air, `There is a quorum here.'
  ``When the vote was taken, at least when it was asked to be taken, I 
objected on the grounds that there was no quorum present. He said, `I 
already declared that there is a quorum.'
  ``I believe it is a violation of the rules of the House and the rules 
of the committee for a bill to come out of a committee without a quorum 
being present.
  ``That is my point of order.''.
  Mr. WAXMAN was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, first of all, the presence or absence of a quorum 
during committee proceedings is entirely ir- 

[[Page 3268]]

relevant to the matter before the House, which is consideration of a 
bill under the suspension of the rules. Even if it were relevant, the 
gentleman from California is dead wrong in asserting that regular order 
was not followed during committee proceedings.
  ``The transcript of the committee September 17, 1992, markup clearly 
indicates a quorum was present at the time the committee voted to 
report this bill. In fact, prior to the vote, the Chair noted the 
presence of a quorum.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I assert that the point of order is not well taken and 
should not be sustained by the Chair for those two reasons.''.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HUBBARD, overruled the point of order, 
and said:
  ``The suspension of the rules would suspend all rules inconsistent 
with the passage of the bill. The point or order, therefore, is 
overruled.''.
  Thereupon,
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HUBBARD, recognized Mr. WAXMAN and Mr. 
DANNEMEYER, each for 20 minutes.
  After debate,
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House suspend the rules and pass said bill, as amended?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HUBBARD, announced that two-thirds of 
the Members present had voted in the affirmative.
  Mr. DANNEMEYER demanded that the vote be taken by the yeas and nays, 
which demand was supported by one-fifth of the Members present, so the 
yeas and nays were ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HUBBARD, pursuant to clause 5, rule I, 
announced that further proceedings on the motion were postponed until 
Wednesday, September 23, 1992, pursuant to the prior announcement of 
the Chair.


                             point of order

                              (Para. 111.7)


  to a bill authorizing appropriations for the national institute of 
   standards and technology and the technology administration of the 
department of commerce, addressing several of their legal authorities, 
   and directing various studies of federal research and technology 
     policy, instructions in a motion to recommit to several other 
committees calling for consideration of additional provisions to reduce 
 the national debt, ease capital formation, and reform certain aspects 
                  of the legal system are not germane.

                                    

   instructions in a motion to recommit must be germane to the bill 
   regardless of whether they directly propose an amendment thereto.

                                    

  On September 23, 1992, the bill (H.R. 5231) to amend the Stevenson-
Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980 to enhance manufacturing 
technology development and transfer, to authorize appropriations for 
the Technology Ad- 
ministration of the Department of Commerce, including the National 
Institute of Standards and Technology, and for other purposes; was 
ordered to be engrossed and read a third time and was read a third time 
by title.
  Mr. WALKER moved to recommit the bill to the Committees on Ways and 
Means, Energy and Commerce, Government Operations, and the Judiciary 
with instructions to consider such additional provisions as are 
necessary to promote the competitiveness of American businesses by 
reducing the national debt to reduce the cost of capital, providing tax 
incentives to further enhance private capital formation, reforming 
antitrust law to remove barriers to cooperative enterprise, and 
instituting civil justice reform to reduce litigious burdens.
  After debate,


                             point of order

                             (Para. 111.10)

  Mr. VALENTINE made a point of order against said motion to recommit 
with instructions, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, let me say at the outset that our dear friend, the 
gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Walker] continues to make the same 
point over and over and over again, and I suppose we need to try to 
answer it over again. Certainly, many of us have sympathy with a lot of 
what he wants to do in the legislation. Many of us have sympathy with 
it, but we just suggest that he go about it following proper 
procedures.
  ``Mr. Speaker, in support of our request to the Chair to sustain the 
point of order, we respectfully suggest that the instructions included 
in the motion to recommit offered by the gentleman from Pennsylvania 
include matters from amendments offered by the gentleman earlier in the 
Committee of the Whole which were ruled out of order by the Chairman as 
nongermane.
  ``Mr. Speaker, we suggest that under the rules of the House it is not 
in order to present as part of a motion to recommit any proposition 
which would not have been germane if proposed as an amendment to the 
bill in the committee.''.
  Mr. WALKER was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, the motion to recommit does not speak to any sections 
of the bill. In fact, it sends the entire bill back in its present 
form. It simply commits it to committees that would have appropriate 
jurisdictions in the area and simply provides instructions that these 
additional areas be looked at as a part of competitiveness.
  ``Our committee does in fact have jurisdiction over the entire issue 
of competitiveness. All this is suggesting is that if there are 
jurisdictional disputes over what that means, then those committees 
should take a look at the content of this bill and consider such 
additional measures as may be needed. There is nothing here that 
changes the substance of the bill in any way. It is 
simply an instruction to the appropriate committees that they need to 
consider additional provisions that are necessary to promote a concept 
which is in the exclusive jurisdiction of the Committee on Science, 
Space, and Technology.''.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. TRAXLER, sustained the point of order, 
and said:
  ``The Chair would sustain the point of order raised by the gentleman 
from North Carolina [Mr. Valentine] and would indicate that 
instructions contained in a motion to recommit must be germane to the 
subject matter of the bill whether or not the instructions propose a 
direct amendment thereto.
  ``It has been held that a motion to recommit a bill addressing 
Federal research and technology policy reported from the Committee on 
Science, Space, and Technology, with instructions to the Committee on 
Ways and Means to give consideration to improving competitiveness of 
U.S. industry by changes in Federal tax policy, was not germane to the 
subject matter of the bill.
  ``That was a ruling made on July 16, 1991, and the gentleman from New 
York [Mr. McNulty] was in the chair at that time.
  ``Therefore, the Chair sustains the point of order.''.
  Mr. WALKER moved to recommit the bill to the Committees on Ways and 
Means, Energy and Commerce, Government Operations, and the Judiciary 
with instructions to consider such additional provisions as are 
necessary to promote the competitiveness of American businesses.
  After debate,
  By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered on the motion 
to recommit with instructions.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House recommit said bill with instructions?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. TRAXLER, announced that the nays had it.
  Mr. WALKER objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken

                              (Para. 112.4)


   the speaker may admonish a member for words spoken in debate and 
request that they be removed from the record even prior to a demand by 
    another member that the words be taken down as unparliamentary.

                                    

  On September 24, 1992, the SPEAKER, Mr. FOLEY, made the following 
announcement:
  ``The Chair will not diminish current protections against references 
to the President or the Vice President of the United States in debate, 
or to U.S. Senators, who, by long tradition of the House, are 
recognized as deserving comity and respect.
  ``The Chair understands that under the precedents and practices of 
the House a greater degree of latitude does exist with respect to 
references to nominated candidates for President and Vice President of 
the United States who are not incumbents or Members of the Congress. 
However, the Chair believes that in order to maintain decorum in the 
House, certain minimal standards of propriety in debate should apply to 
all nominated candidates for President and Vice President of the United 
States, and that the record and character of such candidates may be 
properly debated without references which constitute a breach of 
decorum, and the Chair advises all Members that future references to 
nominated candidates for President and Vice President of the United 
States may be subject to admonishment and restriction by the Chair if 
the Chair believes that such decorum has been violated.
  ``To do otherwise would create a distinct discrimination between 
candidates of two parties when candidates on one side are incumbents, 
such as Presidents and Vice Presidents, or are Members of Congress, and 
other candidates do not hold such traditional protection in debate. The 
Chair hopes it will have the cooperation and sensitive regard of all 
Members with respect to such debate.''.
  Subsequently,

  Mr. DeFAZIO during one minute speeches addressed the House and, 
during the course of his remarks,
  Mr. WALKER demanded that certain words be taken down.
  Whereupon,
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, said:
  ``If the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Walker] will withhold for 
just a minute, the Chair was about to rule 
that what the gentleman from Oregon [Mr. DeFazio] said just a moment 
ago is violative of the statement that the Speaker of the House made a 
moment ago with regard to the propriety and the abusive nature of the 
language used. And under the circumstances the Chair would advise the 
gentleman from Oregon that he should correct his statement.''.
  Mr. DeFAZIO, by unanimous consent, requested that the concluding 
remarks after the quote from the Washington Post be withdrawn.

                             (Para. 116.27)


a motion to recommit a conference report with instructions to managers 
 on the part of the house to include in a subsequent conference report 
   specified provisions that were not committed to the conference as 
  disagreements between the houses exceeds the scope of conference in 
                 violation of clause 3 of rule xxviii.

                                    

  On September 30, 1992, Mr. FORD of Michigan called up the following 
conference report (Rept. No. 102-916) on the bill of the Senate (S. 2) 
to promote the achievement of national education goals, to measure 
progress toward such goals, to develop national education standards and 
voluntary assessments in accordance with such standards, and to 
encourage the comprehensive improvement of America's neighborhood 
public schools to improve student achievement.
  When said conference report was considered.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. KILDEE, the previous question was ordered on the 
conference report to its adoption or rejection.
  Mr. GOODLING moved to recommit the conference report to the committee 
of conference with instructions that the managers on the part of the 
House at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on 
the amendment of the House to S. 2, the Neighborhood Schools 
Improvement Act, insist that the conferees report the following 
provisions:

       In section 8104 of the Elementary and Secondary Education 
     Act of 1965, as added by Section 201(a)(2), in subsection 
     (a)(1) strike ``and the voluntary national school delivery 
     standards''; in subsection (a)(2) strike ``, voluntary 
     National school delivery standards,''; and in subsection 
     (a)(3) strike ``and the voluntary national school delivery 
     standards''.
       Strike section 8111 of the Elementary and Secondary 
     Education Act of 1965, as added by section 201(a)(2), and 
     insert in lieu thereof:

     ``SEC. 8111. DEVELOPMENT OF VOLUNTARY NATIONAL SCHOOL 
                   DELIVERY STANDARDS.

       ``The Secretary shall make grants to the Governor of a 
     State or consortia of such Governors in order for the State 
     or consortia of States to develop school delivery standards 
     that meet the needs of the State or consortia with respect to 
     providing each student with an opportunity to learn.''
       Strike section 8114(a)(1)(A) of the Elementary and 
     Secondary Education Act of 1965, as 
     added by Section 201(a)(2) and renumber accordingly.
       In section 8307 of the Elementary and Secondary Education 
     Act of 1965, as added by Section 201(a)(2), in subsection 
     (c)(1)(G) strike ``and'' the second time it appears; in 
     subsection (c)(1)(H) strike the period and insert: ``; and 
     (I) provide support for local school reform such as Merit 
     Schools.''
       In section 8309 of the Elementary and Secondary Education 
     Act of 1965, as added by Section 201(a)(2), in subsection

       In Part C of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 
     1965, as added by Section 201(a)(2) the House should recede 
     to the Senate on the number of local educational agencies 
     eligible for participation in the demonstration program and 
     the Senate should recede to the House with respect to the 
     specific program activities allowable for inclusion in the 
     demonstration project. 

  Pending consideration of said motion,
    

                             point of order

                             (Para. 116.28)

  Mr. KILDEE made a point of order against said motion to recommit, and 
said:

  ``Mr. Speaker, under the precedents, `a motion to recommit a 
conference report generally may not include instructions which would be 
inadmissible if offered as an amendment in the House.' I quote 
Deschler's Procedure, chapter 33, section 26.6. Similarly, the 
instructions may not instruct the conferees to do something which is 
beyond their power under the Rules of the House, such as add new 
matter, which would be in violation of clause 3 of rule XXVIII--beyond 
the scope.
  ``The pending motion instructs the conferees to go beyond the scope 
of conference and, therefore, is not in order.
  ``Specifically, the motion to recommit is outside the scope of 
conference on this ground: It writes in a new use of funds which 
appears in neither bill in their sections authorizing use of funds at 
the State level; namely, funding merit schools at the State level. It 
is the amendment called for in section 8307.''.

  Mr. GOODLING was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, I would indicate that everything that was in the 
motion to recommit was discussed and debated. It was part of either the 
House bill or the Senate bill. At all times we were debating back and 
forth whether it would be local, whether it would be State. Therefore, 
I see nothing in the motion to recommit, as revised, that would in any 
way be beyond the scope of the conference.''.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. TORRES, addressed the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania [Mr. Goodling], and said:
  ``The Chair would ask the gentleman from Pennsylvania in this case if 
either the House or Senate passed versions, provided for State financed 
plans for

[[Page 3270]]

merit schools. That would be the question. The Chair is aware of a 
House passed provision on local funding for merit schools.''.
  Mr. GOODLING responded, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, neither one provided it. As I said, the debate was 
back and forth, State and local, State and local. Both were discussed. 
It was part of the discussion during the entire conference, so it must 
have been conferenceable.''.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. TORRES, sustained the point of order, 
and said:
  ``The Chair can only go by what was in the House and Senate passed 
bills at this point. The Chair would rule at this time for the reason 
stated by the gentleman from Michigan [Mr. Kildee], the point of order 
with respect to inclusion of State plans for merit schools must be 
sustained.''.
  Mr. GOODLING moved to recommit the conference report to the committee 
of conference with instructions that the managers on the part of the 
House at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on 
the amendment of the House to S. 2, the Neighborhood Schools 
Improvement Act, insist that the conferees report the following 
provisions:

       In section 8104 of the Elementary and Secondary Education 
     Act of 1965, as added by Section 201(a)(2), in subsection

     National school delivery standards,''; and in subsection 
     (a)(3) strike ``and the voluntary national school delivery 
     standards''.
       Strike section 8111 of the Elementary and Secondary 
     Education Act of 1965, as added by section 201(a)(2), and 
     insert in lieu thereof:

     ``SEC. 8111. DEVELOPMENT OF VOLUNTARY NATIONAL SCHOOL 
                   DELIVERY STANDARDS.

       ``The Secretary shall make grants to the Governor of a 
     State or consortia of such Governors in order for the State 
     or consortia of States to develop school delivery standards 
     that meet the needs of the State or consortia with respect to 
     providing each student with an opportunity to learn.''
       Strike section 8114(a)(1)(A) of the Elementary and 
     Secondary Education Act of 1965, as added by Section 
     201(a)(2) and renumber accordingly.
       In section 8309 of the Elementary and Secondary Education 
     Act of 1965, as added by Section 201(a)(2), in subsection 
     (c)(6) strike ``and'' and in subsection (c)(7) strike the 
     period and insert: ``; and (8) New American Schools.''
       In Part C of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 
     1965, as added by Section 201(a)(2) the House should recede 
     to the Senate on the number of local educational agencies 
     eligible for participation in the demonstration program and 
     the Senate should recede to the House with respect to the 
     specific program activities allowable for inclusion in the

  By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered on the motion 
to recommit with instructions.
  The question being put, viva voce,

                            words taken down

                              (Para. 119.7)


 where certain remarks in debate have been challenged as descending to 
personality and thereupon withdrawn, an inquiry of the chair concerning 
    the availability of ``truth'' as a defense to such a challenge 
       constitutes neither a valid parliamentary inquiry nor an 
        unparliamentary republication of the withdrawn remarks.

                                    

 although the chair responds to parliamentary inquiries concerning the 
   application of the rules and precedents to a pending or otherwise 
pertinent situation, he does not rule retrospectively on the propriety 
                of words withdrawn by unanimous consent.

                                    

  On October 3, 1992, on motion of Mrs. SCHROEDER, pursuant to House 
Resolution 589, called up the bill (S. 3144) to amend title 10, United 
States Code, to improve the health care system provided for members and 
former members of the Armed Forces and their dependents, and for other 
purposes.
  When said bill was considered and read twice.
  After debate,


                            words taken down

                              (Para. 119.8)

  Mr. AuCOIN during debate addressed the House and, during the course 
of his remarks,
  Mr. WALKER demanded that certain words be taken down.
  The Clerk read the words taken down as follows:

       This President was willing to bring down and subjugate the 
     defense of the country because of the agenda of the National 
     Right to Life Committee. He has done it before. He has 
     brought down the Labor-HHS appropriations because of a 
     similar amendment protecting a woman's right to choose. I 
     want American to know that there is no function of this 
     Government that George Herbert Hoover Bush would not 
     subjugate to the agenda of the National Right to Life--  

  Mr. AuCOIN, by unanimous consent, was permitted to withdraw said 
words.
  By unanimous consent, Mr. AuCOIN, was permitted to proceed in order.
  Subsequently,


                            words taken down

                             (Para. 119.8A)

  Mr. OBEY addressed the Chair for purposes of a parliamentary inquiry.
  Mr. HYDE demanded that certain words be taken down.
  The Clerk read the words taken down as follows:

       Does this episode mean that sometimes rules of the House 
     prevent one from speaking the truth on the House floor?

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. DOWNEY, held that the words failed to 
present a proper parliamentary inquiry, but were not otherwise 
unparliamentary.
  After further debate,

     (50) of the Rules of the House that five current or former 
     employees of the Office of the Sergeant at Arms have been 
     served with subpoenas issued by the United States District 
     Court for the District of Columbia.
       After consultation with the General Counsel to the Clerk of 
     the House, it has been determined that compliance with these 
     subpoenas would not be inconsistent with the privileges and 
     precedents of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                 Werner W. Brandt,
     Sergeant at Arms.

laid before the House a communication, which was read as follows:

                                        Permanent Select Committee


                                              on Intelligence,

                                    Washington, DC, July 24, 1992.
     Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: This is to notify you pursuant to Rule L 
     of the Rules of the House that the Permanent Select Committee 
     on Intelligence has been served with a subpoena issued by the 
     United States District Court for the District of Columbia in 
     connection with a trial that is ongoing in that court.
       After consultation with the General Counsel, I will notify 
     you of my determination as required by the Rule.
           Sincerely,
                                                     Dave McCurdy,
     Chairman.

                          ____________________

  On July 24, 1992, the SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McMILLEN of Maryland, 
laid before the House a communication, which was read as follows:

                                     House of Representatives,

                                    Washington, DC, July 24, 1992.
     Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
     Speaker of the House, Congress of the United States, 
         Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: On July 22, 1992, we received subpoenas 
     issued by the United States Attorney for the District of 
     Columbia. These subpoenas were issued on the day that the 
     task force organized by the Committee House on Administration 
     to investigate the House Post Office released its report 
     finding no merit whatsoever to any allegations that we or 
     anyone else abused the stamp procurement process of the 
     House.
       Pursuant to House Rule 50, we are advising you of our 
     receipt of these subpoenas. We also are advising you that we 
     do not expect to assert any legislative privilege with regard 
     to the subpoenas. However, for the reasons stated in the 
     accompanying letter, we will assert other constitutional 
     privileges to

[[Page 3273]]

     stop this fishing expedition and political witch hunt once 
     and for all.
       It is amazing that the U.S. Attorney is continuing this 
     investigation when the task force report so thoroughly 
     resolves any of the issues within the proper scope of the 
     investigation. Moreover, every report of every former 
     employee of the House Post Office has refuted any notion that 
     we engaged in any conduct that the U.S. Attorney could 
     legitimately investigate. In order to check the U.S. 
     Attorney's exercise of uncontrolled power to waste taxpayer 
     money on an improper and groundless investigation and to 
     preserve our constitutional right to be free from political 
     harassment and persecutorial overreaching, we have written 
     the accompanying letter we now make part of the record in 
     this matter.
           Sincerely,
     Joe Kolter.
     Austin Murphy.
     Dan Rostenkowski.
  The accompanying correspondence referred to is as follows:

                                     House of Representatives,

                                     Washington, DC, July 24, 1992
     Re: Grand jury matter 913.
     Jay B. Stephens, Esquire, U.S. Attorney, District of 
       Columbia, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Stephens: On July 22, 1992, each of us was served 
     with subpoenas issued by John Campbell in your office. These 
     subpoenas called for us to appear to testify less than a week 
     later on July 28, 1992.
       The day these subpoenas were served, a report was issued by 
     the Committee on House Administration, pursuant to House 
     Resolution 340 relating to an investigation of the House Post 
     Office. The report was the result of a five-month study which 
     addressed every conceivable issue arising out of the 
     operation and management of the House Post Office, including 
     all the topics in which your office could possibly be 
     interested.
       While containing some disagreements, the report is clear 
     that there is no evidence whatsoever that any of us took part 
     in any way in activities that would violate any federal law 
     or rule. Nothing in the report would warrant further 
     investigation by you or a grand jury.
       According to statements made by representatives of your 
     office, your investigation has been premised solely on 
     newspaper accounts of one person, Jim Smith, a post office 
     employee. It was reported that Mr. Smith alleged that 
     Congressman Rostenkowski or his office had engaged in some 
     transaction in which stamps were somehow exchanged for cash. 
     Subsequently, Mr. Smith was quoted stating that any such 
     allegation was both ``crazy'' and ``wrong.'' Nevertheless, 
     unsourced and unsubstantiated newspaper articles continued 
     repeating the allegations. The task force report, however, 
     includes Mr. Smith's interview in which he once again refutes 
     the truth of that charge.
       So, it comes as quite a surprise that, notwithstanding the 
     refutation of the only basis for the investigation, we have 
     all been subpenaed to appear before a grand jury. There is no 
     evidence for us to refute; no charge to explain; and no 
     person making a public allegation who needs to be rebutted.
       Some weeks ago, assuming your inquiry was sincere, 
     Congressman Rostenkowski offered to provide your staff with 
     information in order to put this matter to rest. They stated 
     that they wanted this information in the grand jury or not at 
     all. That did not seem like a sincere request to obtain 
     relevant information, but a tactic to create a needless 
     confrontation and media event.
       We can only conclude that the subpenas for us are a product 
     of an overall fishing expedition in an election year. This 
     conclusion is supported by an article in this morning's 
     Washington Times in which someone obviously has leaked to the 
     press the fact that subpenas were issued. This article 
     specifically includes ``law enforcement officials'' as 
     sources.
       The Constitution provides all American citizens--whether 
     Members of Congress or not--with only one recourse by which 
     to resist prosecutorial overreaching. That route, of course, 
     is the right to refuse to testify under the fifth amendment 
     of the Constitution. We, therefore, assert that 
     constitutional right against testifying in this matter. We 
     decline to lend any credence to any inquiry that lacks 
     credibility and should be promptly closed.
           Sincerely,
     Joe Kolter.
     Austin Murphy.
     Dan Rostenkowski.
