ANSWERED ``PRESENT''--2
Foley

NOT VOTING--1
Applegate
Para. 1.6 The roll having been completed, the Clerk announced that the
tellers had reached an agreement that the total number of votes cast
were 431 of which number Mr. Thomas S. Foley received 255; Mr. Robert H.
Michel received 174. Mr. Thomas S. Foley, of Washington, having received
255 votes, being the largest number cast for any Member-elect and a
majority of the whole number of votes cast, was declared by the Clerk to
have been duly elected Speaker of the House of Representatives for the
103rd Congress.
The Clerk announced the appointment of Mr. Gephardt, Mr. Michel, Mr.
Bonior, Mr. Gingrich, Mr. Armey, Mr. Dicks, and Ms. Dunn to escort the
Speaker to the Chair.
The SPEAKER was escorted to the Chair by said committee and, following
an introduction by Mr. MICHEL, addressed the House as follows:
``Thank you very much, Bob Michel, and my thanks to this House for the
honor of being allowed again to be Speaker in this coming Congress.
``All of us, I think, share a sense of great respect for the
distinguished Republican leader, Bob Michel, who has throughout his
entire service reflected the best traditions of this House and has
provided an example of patriotism, decency, and reasonable leadership in
every year in which he has served. I deem it one of the great honors of
my opportunity to be Speaker to serve again with the distinguished
Republican leader, Bob Michel.
``My first thoughts are those of gratitude and appreciation to the
600,000 constituents from eastern Washington who I have the honor to
represent.
``I think all of us share the view that the greatest honor that can
come to us in our political careers and lifetimes is the opportunity to
serve our fellow citizens as Representatives in Congress, the title we
proudly hold in this body.
``That does not diminish my great appreciation to each of you, to my
wife, and to all who have served with me over these years and made it
possible for me to stand before you today.
``We are beginning a historic new Congress. As Bob Michel noted, we
have a greater percentage of new Members than at any time since the end
of World War II; 25 percent of our number are new to this body. They
represent a better and more reflective representation of this country,
of the peoples across this great Nation, than any other Congress in our
history.
``We can initially be very proud of that; but we also have a concern,
all of us, I think, that the American people have signaled their
impatience with the pace of reform and change that they expect this
Congress to advance in the coming years. There is an impatience that we
have not moved fast enough or effectively enough to deal with the
national deficit; to deal with the fairness, advancement and growth of
our economic system; to deal with the problems of our health system
that still denies to millions of Americans adequate and affordable
care, to provide educational opportunity for all of our citizens, to
build our physical infrastructure, to reduce crime; and to attack the
problems of drugs and other social ills.
``This Congress will have a great challenge and a great opportunity
in seeking to restore the confidence of the American people in the
legislative branch and in its association with the new President, Bill
Clinton.
``We will have a new President but may I say with honesty and
sincerity that I had and have great respect for the President of the
United States, George Bush, and that I have sought in the time I have
been Speaker to work with the President to advance the interests of our
Nation.
``As he leaves office, I think President Bush carries with him the
great respect and gratitude of the American people.
``As we welcome the new President, who has gone before the country
with an agenda of change, with a program of dealing with the problems
and ills of the Nation, we owe him, all of us, our best efforts and
support.
``During a meeting not too long ago with the joint bipartisan
leadership, President-elect Clinton said that he wished to be a good
partner with the Congress in dealing with all of the challenges that
lay ahead. I responded, on your behalf, that the Congress would be a
good partner with him in all of these efforts.
``We have an opportunity, we have a challenge, and we are under the
close scrutiny of the American people who, 2 years hence, will have
their own opportunity to make their judgment on each one of us and on
the work of this Congress.
``Above me inscribed on the wall of this Chamber are the words of
Webster. They may not be easy to read from where you are sitting, so
permit me to read them to you.
``The inscription says:
Let us develop the resources of our land, call forth its
great powers, build up its institutions, promote all of its
great interests, and see whether we also, in our time and
generation, may not perform something worthy to be
remembered.
``Let us, all of us, pledge today that when this Congress comes to an
end 2 years hence we may all proudly say that we have done something
worthy to be remembered.''.
Para. 1.7 oath of office--speaker
At the request of the Speaker the oath of office was then administered
to him by Mr. WHITTEN, dean of the House.
Para. 1.8 oath of office--members-elect, delegates-elect, resident
commissioner
The SPEAKER said: ``According to precedent, the Chair will swear in
all Members of the House at this time. If the Members will rise, the
Chair will now administer the oath of office.''
The Members-elect, Delegates-elect and Resident Commissioner, then
rose in their places and took the oath of office prescribed by law.

Mr. HOYER notified the House of the selection of the Democratic Caucus
of Mr. Gephardt as majority leader.

Mr. HOYER notified the House of the selection of Mr. Bonior as

When said resolution was considered.
Mr. ARMEY demanded that the resolution be divided for a separate vote
on the nominee for Chaplain of the House.
The resolution was divided.
The Reverend James David Ford of the Commonwealth of Virginia was

Representatives.
The substitute was not agreed to.
The question being put, viva voce,
Will the House agree to the remainder of said resolution?
The SPEAKER announced that the yeas had it.
So the remainder of said resolution was agreed to.
Whereupon, Donnald K. Anderson, Clerk; Werner W. Brandt, Sergeant at

message from the President, which was read as follows:
To the Congress of the United States:
I am pleased to present the budgetary statement: Budget Baselines,
Historical Data, and Alternatives for the Future.
The Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 (BEA) changed the date by which the
President is required to transmit his Budget from the first Monday after
January 3rd to the first Monday in February. It also established January
21, 1993, as the date for the official presentation and determination of
the BEA budget deficit adjustment. Accordingly, the full 1994 Budget
must be submitted by the new Administration.
In order to provide a perspective from which to evaluate choices and
actions, this document provides the following:
--a review of current policies and the implications of their extension
into the future;
--near-term and long-term budget projections under alternative
economic and technical assumptions;
--assessments of hidden liabilities with associated policy reforms,
and assessments of high risk management areas with associated
recommendations for systems improvement; and
--updated options and recommendations for spending control.
It is my hope that this will be useful to the Congress and the new
Administration in the effort to produce both a responsible budget and
strong economic growth.
George Bush.

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. 9.7 privileges of the house
Mr. SOLOMON submitted the following resolution:
Whereas Article I, section 1, of the Constitution provides
that, ``All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested
in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a
Senate and a House of Representatives;'' and
Whereas Article I, section 2, of the Constitution provides
that, ``The House of Representatives shall be composed of
Members chosen every second year by the people of the several
States;'' and
Whereas the Committee of the Whole is a device used by the
House under which all House members act together to debate
and amend bills raising revenues or directly or indirectly
appropriating money; and
Whereas the Committee of the Whole is an integral part of
the legislative process and the means by which the House of
Representatives exercises its legislative powers and
prerogatives under the Constitution; and
Whereas on January 5, 1993, the House, in the resolution
adopting the Rules of the House for the 103rd Congress (H.
Res. 5), included provisions authorizing the Resident
Commissioner from Puerto Rico and the delegates from the
District of Columbia, Guam, American Samoa and the Virgin
Islands to vote in and preside over the Committee of the
Whole; and
Whereas attempts to refer the proposal to a select
committee to study its constitutionality and to separately
vote on such proposal were prevented by procedural votes, and
the House was thereby precluded from making a separate
determination as to whether such provisions are in
conformance with constitutional requirements and Members'
sworn duty to uphold the Constitution; and
Whereas such proposal affects the representational rights
of duly elected Members of the House under the Constitution
and could result in a derogation or denial of such rights;
and
Whereas such proposal affects the constitutional lawmaking
prerogatives of the House and its Members and the integrity
of the process by which bills are considered, and thus raises
a question of the privileges of the House; and
Whereas the House has just adopted a resolution making it
in order for the Speaker to declare the House resolved into
the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union
for the consideration of legislation, and this represents the
first instance in the 103rd Congress in which the House is
resolving into the Committee of the Whole under the
provisions of the new rule allowing non-Members of the House
to vote in and Chair the Committee of the Whole; and
Whereas the inability and failure of the House to make a
separate determination as to the constitutionality of the
proposal prior to this first use of the new rule presents the
House with an ``extraordinary question'' under the
Constitution requiring a separate determination and thus
raises a question of the privileges of the House; Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That, as a matter of the constitutional
privileges of the House to make all laws and to preserve the
integrity of its proceedings and the representational rights
of its Members, the implementation of those provisions of
House Rules as adopted on January 5, 1993, authorizing the
Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico and the Delegates from
the District of Columbia, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands
and Guam to vote in and preside over the Committee of
[[Page 75]]
the Whole, shall be delayed until such time that the House
has made a separate determination as to whether such
provisions can and should be implemented by a Rule of the
House, consistent with Article I, sections 1 and 2, of the
Constitution.
The SPEAKER made the following statement:
``Under rule IX, a resolution offered from the floor by a Member other
than the majority leader or the minority leader as a question of the
privileges of the House has immediate precedence only at a time or place
designated by the Speaker in the legislative schedule within two
legislative days from its being properly noticed. In the current
circumstances, however, the Chair is inclined to entertain the matter
raised by the gentleman from New York [Mr. Solomon] at this point.''.
Accordingly,
Mr. SOLOMON addressed the Chair, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, the resolution that has been presented calls for a
delay in the implementation of those provisions of House rules which
would permit non-Member Delegates to vote in and chair the Committee of
the Whole until the House has made a separate determination as to
whether the House can and should implement such a rule under the
existing provisions of the Constitution.
``It clearly raises a question of the privileges of the House for a
variety of reasons stated in the precedents of the House under which we
operate. It is being offered in a timely manner since the House is about
to resolve into the Committee of the Whole for the first time in this
103d Congress under the provision of this new rule.
``In support of this question of privilege, I wish to cite section 662
of the House Rules and Manual, which states that questions of privilege
of the House are those which affect `the integrity of the processes by
which bills are considered,' especially when a process is of
questionable constitutionality.
``In such instances, the precedents made clear that the issue raises
an extraordinary question under the Constitution which is eligible for
separate consideration and determination by the House.
``In this regard, the section cites a question of privilege resolution
offered on August 15, 1978, involving `the constitutional question of
the vote required to pass a joint resolution extending the State
ratification period of a proposed Constitutional amendment.'
``The manual, at section 664 elaborates that this involved `an
extraordinary question * * * where the House had not otherwise made a
separate determination on that procedural question' as to whether a
majority or two-thirds vote was required to pass a joint resolution
extending the ratification period for a constitutional amendment, `and
where consideration of the joint resolution had been made in order.'
``In that instance, after the special order for the joint resolution
had been adopted, a question of privilege resolution was offered which
would have required a two-thirds rather than majority vote to pass the
joint resolution. After the Chair ruled as to its legitimacy, the
question of privilege resolution was subsequently tabled by the House.
``By the same token, the pending question of privilege resolution
raises an extraordinary question under the Constitution, on which the
House has not made a separate determination. And that extraordinary
question is whether delegates can be granted voting privileges in the
Committee of the Whole by a rule of the House, or whether a
constitutional amendment would be required.
``The resolution specifically requires the House, before implementing
the Delegate voting rule, to make a separate determination as to whether
the rule can and should be implemented consistent with the provisions of
sections 1 and 2 of article I of the Constitution.
``Numerous Supreme Court decisions have held that while the right of
the House to determine its own rules of proceeding under the
Constitution is nearly absolute, it may not by its rules violate
constitutional rights or ignore constitutional mandates.
``In this instance, not only are the representational rights of House
Members involved, but the rights of their constituents to equal
representation as well.
``In the present instance, as with the 1978 precedent I have cited,
the House has never made a separate determination as to whether Delegate
voting in the Committee of the Whole can be authorized by rule or
whether it requires a constitutional amendment.
``The adoption of House Resolution 5 on January 5 of this year cannot
be construed as a separate determination of that issue since the
Delegate voting provisions constituted only three of over 20 changes in
House rules made by that resolution, all of which were adopted by a
single vote.
``Moreover, on three occasions when that House rules resolution was
called up or under consideration, attempts to separate the Delegate
voting issue were rebuffed by rulings or procedures:
``First on the refusal of the Speaker to recognize a Member to offer a
question of privilege resolution that would have required a separate
vote;
``Second, on a motion to refer the resolution to a select committee to
study and report on the constitutionality of the Delegate voting
provisions; and
``Third, on a motion to commit with instructions to delete the
Delegate voting provisions. In all three instances, opportunities to
separately determine the efficacy and constitutionality of the delegate
voting provisions were blocked by procedural moves.
``For the House to protect itself against overreaching its
constitutional rulemaking powers, the extraordinary-question doctrine
enunciated in the 1978 precedent must be applied to such a serious
constitutional issue as this.
``The second precedent I will cite in support of this resolution is
found at section 664 of the manual, `a question of privileges of the
House is raised' when there is an alleged ``denial of representational
rights.''
``While the precedent cited in that incident involved inequitable
party ratios at the subcommittee level, the same principle should apply
to the possible derogation or denial of representational rights of House
Members in the Committee of the Whole where the votes of non-Members
could make the difference on important questions.
``Mr. Speaker, I realize that it might be argued that this resolution
does not constitute a question of privilege because it might be
interpreted as changing the rules of the House.
``However, that is not the case because the resolution only calls for
a delay in the implementation of the rule until the House has made a
separate determination as to whether it should be implemented in light
of the requirements of article I of the Constitution.
``In 1978 precedent, a question of privilege resolution was ruled
proper even though it sought to alter the number of Members required to
approve the extension from a majority to two-thirds.
``If anything, the 1978 precedent was more farreaching than the
pending question since it would have changed rules already adopted which
required only a majority vote for passing legislation brought under a
special rule.
``No pretense was made that the joint resolution was framed as an
amendment to the Constitution requiring a two-thirds vote of both
Houses, let alone ratification by three-fourths of the States.
``And yet the Chair's holding in that 1978 precedent makes clear that
it involved extraordinary question under the Constitution, and the
resolution therefore constituted a legitimate question of privilege.
``The pending question of privilege resolution does not attempt to
force a two-thirds vote of the House to permit implementation of the
delegate voting rule. It simply requires the House, by simple majority
vote, to make a determination that implementation of the rule is
permissible under the Constitution.
``Such a determination could be made immediately after the question of
privilege resolution is adopted, and the House could then proceed with
the consideration of the pending legislation based on the determination
made by the House.
``In conclusion, Mr. Speaker, the issues raised by this resolution
clearly involve a question of the privileges of the House and should
therefore be allowed for consideration and determination by the House.
``Let us do it the right way. The Chair can do it right now by
letting us pass this resolution and then bringing up a resolution which
would speak to the admissibility, speak to the con-
[[Page 76]]
stitutionality, and then go ahead with the vote, but we are entitled to
that, and so are the people we represent, Mr. Speaker. I would hope
that the Chair would rule in my favor.''.
The SPEAKER ruled that the resolution submitted did not present a
question of the privileges of the House under rule IX, and said:
``The gentleman from New York [Mr. Solomon] was kind enough to
furnish the Chair a copy of his resolution and his supporting arguments
citing certain precedents.
``On August 15, 1978, Speaker O'Neill ruled that a question of the
privileges of the House may be based on an assertion that the immediate
determination of an extraordinary procedural question is indispensable
to the integrity of its impending proceedings, where that procedural
question was not otherwise addressed in the rules of the House.
``In that case, the question of the vote required to pass a joint
resolution proposing an extension of the ratification deadline for a
constitutional amendment already passed by Congress and submitted to
the State legislatures was not directly addressed in the rules of the
House. Indeed, on that occasion the House had not otherwise made a
separate determination on that procedural question either in the
context of the adoption of its rules for that Congress or of any
specific rule.
``In that case, there was no prior House determination of the
procedural question being challenged. The uncertainty of the very
nature of the extension joint resolution on that occasion--that is,
whether it represented legislation passable by a majority or was more
tantamount to a constitutional amendment, and whether it required
presentation to the President--belied the argument that the rules of
the House clearly addressed the procedure.
``In the instant case, the provisions of clause 2 of rule XII and
clauses 1(a) and 2(d) of rule XXIII adopted as part of House Resolution
5 on January 5, 1993, specifically address the procedures complained of
and sought to be delayed in the pending resolution. A delay in the
implementation of a rule is in essence a change in that rule.
``The precedents are clear that the validity of an existing rule of
the House may not be challenged under the guise of a question of
privilege, whether or not that existing rule was separately adopted by
a vote of the House or as part of a package of rules adopted by the
House.
``As cited in section 664 of the House rules and manual, the Speaker
ruled on January 23, 1984, that a resolution directing that the party
ratios of all standing committees, subcommittees, and staffs of the
House be changed within a time certain to reflect overall party ratios
in the House was held to constitute a change in the rules of the House
and not to constitute a proper question of the privileges of the House,
since House rules already provided mechanisms for changing the
selection of committee members and staff. The Speaker ruled that
because the rules complained of could be properly addressed by proposed
rules changes which could be presented to the House in a privileged
manner, that is, by resolution reported from the Committee on Rules or
discharged therefrom, or in that case by privileged resolutions from
the respective party caucuses relating to committee membership, it was
not in order to collaterally challenge the fairness of an adopted rule
under the guise of a question of privilege.
``By contrast, the ruling of October 2, 1984, cited by the gentleman
from New York, involved a situation where the rules of the House did
not address the alleged unfairness complained of--subcommittee ratios--
and where the resolution offered as a question of privilege only
admonished the House to respect the representational rights of minority
committee members and did not constitute a directive or admonition to
change any rule. That precedent does not support the proposition that
the House may as a question of privilege collaterally challenge the
fairness or validity of an adopted rule.
``The Chair rules that the resolution does not state a question of
privilege under rule IX.''.
Mr. SOLOMON 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 announced that the yeas had it.
Mr. SOLOMON 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

section 7 of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C.
207) shall apply.
(B) Clause (iii).--The exception in subparagraph (A)(iii)

(ii) in any case in which the leave has commenced, the
employee elects not to return to employment after receiving
such notice.
In section 104, strike out subsection (b) and redesignate

So the amendment was not agreed to.
After some further time,
Para. 9.17 recorded vote
A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of
the Whole on the following amendment submitted by Mr. GOODLING:
Amend section 102(a)(3) and section 102(b) to read as
follows:
(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 reduce leave schedule shall not
result in a reduction in the total amount of leave to which
the employee is entitled under subsection (a) beyond the
amount of leave actually taken.

So the amendment in the nature of a substitute, as modified, as
amended, was agreed to.
The SPEAKER resumed the Chair.
When Mrs. KENNELLY, Chairman, pursuant to House Resolution 58,
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 to amend section
102(a)(3) and section 102(b) (the Goodling amendment).
The question being put, viva voce,
Will the House agree to the following amendment on which a separate
vote had been demanded?
Amend section 102(a)(3) and section 102(b) to read as
follows:
(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) beyond the
amount of leave actually taken.
The SPEAKER announced that the nays had it.
Mr. SOLOMON 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.

So the amendment was agreed to.
The question being put, viva voce,
Will the House agree to the following amendment in the nature of a
substitute, as amended?
Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; TABLE OF CONTENTS.
(a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Family and
Medical Leave Act of 1993''.

TITLE V--COVERAGE OF CONGRESSIONAL EMPLOYEES
Sec. 501. Leave for certain Senate employees.
Sec. 502. Leave for certain House 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.
TITLE I--GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR LEAVE

(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

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

result in a reduction in the total amount of leave to which
the employee is entitled under subsection (a) beyond the
amount of leave actually taken.
(2) Alternative position.--If an employee requests
intermittent leave, or leave on a reduced leave schedule,
under subparagraph (C) or (D) of subsection (a)(1) that is

(A) has equivalent pay and benefits; and
(B) better accommodates recurring periods of leave than the
regular employment position of the employee.
(c) Unpaid Leave Permitted.--Except as provided in
subsection (d), leave granted under subsection (a) may
consist of unpaid leave. Where an employee is otherwise
exempt under regulations issued by the Secretary pursuant to
section 13(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29
U.S.C. 213(a)(1)), the compliance of an employer with this
title by providing unpaid leave shall not affect the exempt
status of the employee under such section.
(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

period of such leave under such subsection.

part of the 12-week period of such leave under such
subsection, except that nothing in this title 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 placement, 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
placement 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--

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, as appropriate;
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 re-
[[Page 82]]
quires 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) 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.

during any period of leave; or

would have been entitled had the employee not taken the

section 102(a)(1)(D), the employer may have a uniformly
applied practice or policy that requires each such 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 such employees.
(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.--

employment continuously for the duration of such leave.

the premium that the employer paid for maintaining coverage
for the employee under such group health plan during any

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--

a copy of such certification to the employer.

(i) Leave due to serious health condition of family
member.--The certification described in subparagraph (A)(i)
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.
(ii) Leave due to serious health condition of employee.--
The certification described in subparagraph (A)(ii) shall be

``(e)(1) 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 placement, the employee shall

subparagraph (C) or (D) of subsection (a)(1) is foreseeable
based on planned medical treatment, the employee--

the employee, as appropriate. The employee shall provide, in

employing agency.
``(b) A 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 6382(a)(1)(C),
a statement that the 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 such son,
daughter, spouse, or parent; and
``(B) for purposes of leave under section 6382(a)(1)(D), a
statement that the employee is unable to perform the
functions of the position of the employee; and
``(5) in the case of certification for intermittent leave
or leave on a reduced leave schedule for planned medical
treatment, the dates on which such treatment is expected to
be given and the duration of such treatment.
``(c)(1) In any case in which the employing agency has
reason to doubt the validity of the certification provided
under subsection (a) for leave under subparagraph (C) or (D)
of section 6382(a)(1), the employing agency may require, at
the expense of the agency, that the employee obtain the
opinion of a second health care provider designated or
approved by the employing agency concerning any information
certified under subsection (b) for such leave.
``(2) Any health care provider designated or approved under
paragraph (1) shall not be employed on a regular basis by the
employing agency.
``(d)(1) In any case in which the second opinion described
in subsection (c) differs from the original certification
provided under subsection (a), the employing agency may
require, at the expense of the agency, that the employee
obtain the opinion of a third health care provider designated
or approved jointly by the employing agency and the employee
concerning the information certified under subsection (b).
``(2) 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
employing agency and the employee.
``(e) The employing agency may require, at the expense of
the agency, that the employee obtain subsequent
recertifications on a reasonable basis.
``Sec. 6384. Employment and benefits protection
``(a) Any employee who takes leave under section 6382 for
the intended purpose of the leave shall be entitled, upon
return from such leave--
[[Page 85]]
``(1) to be restored by the employing agency to the
position held by the employee when the leave commenced; or
``(2) to be restored to an equivalent position with
equivalent benefits, pay, status, and other terms and
conditions of employment.
``(b) The taking of leave under section 6382 shall not
result in the loss of any employment benefit accrued prior to
the date on which the leave commenced.
``(c) Except as otherwise provided by or under law, nothing
in this section shall be construed to entitle any restored
employee to--
``(1) the accrual of any employment benefits during any
period of leave; or
``(2) 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.
``(d) As a condition to restoration under subsection (a)
for an employee who takes leave under section 6382(a)(1)(D),
the employing agency may have a uniformly applied practice or
policy that requires each such employee to receive
certification from the health care provider of the employee
that the employee is able to resume work.
``(e) Nothing in this section shall be construed to
prohibit an employing agency from requiring an employee on
leave under section 6382 to report periodically to the
employing agency on the status and intention of the employee
to return to work.
``Sec. 6385. Prohibition of coercion
``(a) An employee shall not directly or indirectly
intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or attempt to intimidate,
threaten, or coerce, any other employee for the purpose of
interfering with the exercise of any rights which such other

``(b) For the purpose of this section--
``(1) the term `intimidate, threaten, or coerce' includes
promising to confer or conferring any benefit (such as
appointment, promotion, or compensation), or taking or
threatening to take any reprisal (such as deprivation of
appointment, promotion, or compensation); and
``(2) the term `employee' means any `employee', as defined
by section 2105.
``Sec. 6386. Health insurance
``An employee enrolled in a health benefits plan under
chapter 89 who is placed in a leave status under section 6382
may elect to continue the health benefits enrollment of the
employee while in such leave status and arrange to pay
currently into the Employees Health Benefits Fund (described
in section 8909), the appropriate employee contributions.
``Sec. 6387. Regulations
``The Office of Personnel Management shall prescribe
regulations necessary for the administration of this
subchapter. The regulations prescribed under this subchapter
shall, to the extent appropriate, be consistent with the
regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Labor to carry out
title I of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993.''.

Para. 10.3 committee resignation--minority
The SPEAKER laid before the House the following communication, which
was read as follows:
House of Representatives,
Washington, DC, February 4, 1993.
Hon. Tom Foley,
The Speaker, House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Speaker: I submit my resignation from the
Committee on Agriculture and the Committee on Small Business
to the House of Representatives effective this date.
It has been a distinct honor to serve on both of these
committees. However, in accordance with the rules of the
Republican Conference, my selection for the Committee on Ways
and Means precludes my service on the Agriculture or Small
Business Committee.
I look forward to my continued service as a voice for
agriculture and small business on the Ways and Means
Committee. The many important issues which come before the
committee will be of vital concern to farm families,
employers, and employees across Michigan and America.
With deepest appreciation,
Sincerely,
Dave Camp,
Member of Congress.
The resignation was accepted.
Para. 10.4 committee election--minority
Mr. ARMEY, by direction of the Republican Conference, submitted the
following privileged resolution (H. Res. 66):
Resolved, That the following named Members be, and they are
hereby, elected to the following standing committees of the
House of Representatives:
Committee on Ways and Means: Mr. Camp of Michigan;
Committee on the District of Columbia: Mr. Ballenger of
North Carolina;
Committee on House Administration: Ms. Dunn of Washington;
and the
Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries: Mr. Pombo of
California with two remaining vacancies.
When said resolution was considered and agreed to.
A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said resolution was agreed to
was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.
Para. 10.5 providing for the consideration of h.r. 2
Mr. FROST, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the
following resolution (H. Res. 59):
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. 2) to establish national voter registration
procedures for Federal elections, 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 2(l)(6) of rule XI 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 House
Administration. After general debate the bill shall be
considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. The
amendments recommended by the Committee on House
Administration now printed in the bill and the amendment
printed in part 1 of the report of the Committee on Rules
accompanying this resolution shall be considered as adopted
in the House and in the Committee of the Whole. The bill as
so amended shall be considered as read. No further amendment
shall be in order except an amendment printed in part 2 of
the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this
resolution. Such amendment may be offered only by the named
proponent or a designee, shall be considered as read, shall
be debatable for one hour equally divided and controlled by
the proponent and an opponent, and shall not be subject to
amendment. 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.
When said resolution was considered.
After debate,
Mr. FROST 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?

present and not voting.

Any amendment of the Senate to any House bill----
``And I repeat:
An amendment of the Senate * * * shall be subject to a
point of order that it shall first be considered in the
Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, if,
originating in the House, it would be subject to that point.
``And the rule goes on to provide just one exception to this
requirement is possible, and that is if a motion to disagree to the
Senate amendment and request a conference is made.
``Mr. Speaker, House Resolution 71 contains the Senate amendment by
virtue of being a self-executing rule. As such, my point of order must
be sustained and the resolution must be considered in the Committee of
the Whole.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. SKAGGS, overruled the point of order, and
said:
``The Chair is prepared to rule on the gentleman's point of order.
[[Page 97]]
``Before the House at this time is not the Senate amendment itself,
but a rule properly reported from the Rules Committee to the House of
Representatives, against which a rule XX point of order is not well
taken. If we were considering the Senate amendment itself, the
gentleman's point of order would be well-grounded, but the Chair will
rule the point of order out of order.''.
When said resolution was considered.
After debate,
Mr. GORDON 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?

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.

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

(b) Leave Taken Intermittently or on a Reduced Leave
Schedule.--
(1) In general.--Leave under subparagraph (A) or (B) of
subsection (a)(1) shall not be taken by an employee
intermittently or on a reduced leave schedule unless the
employee and the employer of the employee agree otherwise.
Subject to paragraph (2), subsection (e)(2), and section
103(b)(5), leave under subparagraph (C) or (D) of subsection
(a)(1) may be taken intermittently or on a reduced leave
schedule when medically necessary. The taking of leave
intermittently or on a reduced leave schedule pursuant to
this paragraph shall not result in a reduction in the total
amount of leave to which the employee is entitled under
subsection (a) beyond the amount of leave actually taken.
(2) Alternative position.--If an employee requests
intermittent leave, or leave on a reduced leave schedule,
under subparagraph (C) or (D) of subsection (a)(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--

(B) better accommodates recurring periods of leave than the
regular employment position of the employee.
(c) Unpaid Leave Permitted.--Except as provided in

consist of unpaid leave. Where an employee is otherwise
exempt under regulations issued by the Secretary pursuant to
section 13(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29
U.S.C. 213(a)(1)), the compliance of an employer with this
title by providing unpaid leave shall not affect the exempt
status of the employee under such section.

(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

(B), or (C) of subsection (a)(1) for any part of the 12-week
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

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 title 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 placement, 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
placement 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--

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, as appropriate;
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--

treatment, the dates on which such treatment is expected to
be given and the duration of such treatment;

leave on a reduced leave schedule, under section
102(a)(1)(D), a statement of the medical necessity for the
intermittent leave or leave on a reduced leave schedule, and
the expected duration of the intermittent leave or reduced
leave schedule; and
(7) in the case of certification for intermittent leave, or
leave on a reduced leave schedule, under section
102(a)(1)(C), a statement that the employee's intermittent
leave or leave on a reduced leave schedule is necessary for
the care of the son, daughter, parent, or spouse who has a
serious health condition, or will assist in their recovery,
and the expected duration and schedule of the intermittent
leave or reduced leave schedule.
(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.
[[Page 100]]
(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.--Except as provided in subsection (b), 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) for an employee who has taken leave under
section 102(a)(1)(D), the employer may have a uniformly
applied practice or policy that requires each such 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 such employees.
(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 for the duration of such leave.
(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 son, daughter, spouse, or parent of the employee, as
appropriate, in the case of an employee unable to return to
work because of a condition specified in section
102(a)(1)(C); or
(ii) 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).
(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)(ii) 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)(i)
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.
SEC. 105. PROHIBITED ACTS.

violation of section 105, such court may, in the discretion
of the court, reduce the amount of the liability to the
amount and interest determined under clauses (i) and (ii),
respectively; and
(B) for such equitable relief as may be appropriate,

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

Whereas there is significant widespread support in the

ecological, and educational reasons, whales should no longer
be hunted for profit;
Whereas there is concern that efforts will be made at the
1993 Annual Meeting of the International Whaling Commission
to overturn the Commission's existing moratorium on
commercial whaling of large whales;
Whereas there are species of small cetaceans that are
currently subject to direct commercial harvest;
Whereas there are unique regions of the world's seas which
serve as important feeding grounds for many species of
whales, and where the impacts of environmental threats are
unknown: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) the United States policy should promote the
conservation and protection of whale, dolphin, and porpoise
populations;
(2) the United States should remain opposed to any
resumption of commercial whaling, and should work toward a
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 harvest of small
cetaceans and should encourage the Commission to consider the
expertise of its Scientific Committee;
(4) the United States should support the establishment of
appropriate international sanctuaries where whaling is
prohibited; and
(5) in 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.

Para. 11.16 message from the president--national emergency with respect
to iraq
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. THORNTON, 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 the last
report of August 3, 1992, concerning the national emergency with respect
to Iraq that was declared in Executive Order No. 12772 of August 2,
1990. This report is submitted pursuant to sections 401(c) of the
National Emergencies Act (``NEA''), 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. That order
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. The order prohibited
travel-related 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. 12724, which was 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 Orders Nos. 12724 and 12817 (the
``Executive Orders''). The report covers events from August 2, 1992,
through February 1, 1993.
1. On October 21, 1992, President Bush issued Executive Order No.
12817, implementing the United States measures adopted in United
Nations Security Council Resolution (``UNSCR'') No. 778 of October 2,
1992. UNSCR No. 778 requires U.N. member states temporarily to transfer
to a U.N. escrow account up to $200 million apiece in Iraqi oil
proceeds paid by the purchaser after the imposition of U.N. sanctions
on Iraq. These funds finance Iraq's obligations for U.N. activities
with respect to Iraq, including expenses to verify Iraqi weapons
destruction and to provide humanitarian assistance in Iraq on a
nonpartisan basis. A portion of the escrowed funds will also fund the
activities of the U.N. Compensation Commission in Geneva, which will
handle claims from victims of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. The funds
placed in the escrow account are to be returned, with interest, to the
member states that transferred them to the U.N., as funds are received
from future sales of Iraqi oil authorized by the United Nations
Security Council. No member state is required to fund more than half of
the total contributions to the escrow account.
Executive Order No. 12817 authorized the Secretary of the Treasury
(the ``Secretary'') to identify the proceeds of the sale of Iraqi
petroleum or petroleum products paid for by or on behalf of the
purchaser on or after August 6, 1990, and directed United States
financial institutions holding such funds to transfer them to the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York (``FRBNY'') in the manner required by
the Secretary. Executive Order No. 12817 further directs the FRBNY to
receive, hold, and transfer funds in which the Government of Iraq has
an interest at the direction of the Secretary to fulfill U.S. rights
and obligations pursuant to UNSCR No. 778.
2. The economic sanctions imposed on Iraq by the Executive order are
administered by the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets
Control (``FAC'') pursuant to the Iraqi Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR
Part 575 (``ISR''). The ISR were amended on September 1, 1992, to
revoke section 575.603, which had required U.S. financial institutions
to file monthly reports regarding certain bank accounts in which the
Government of Iraq has an interest. While this information was needed
during the early implementation of the regulations and for a period
thereafter, it is no longer required on a monthly basis and can be
obtained by FAC on a case-by-case basis as required. The amendment is
in harmony with President Bush's Regulatory Initiative.
3. 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.
4. Investigation also continues into the roles played by various
individuals and firms outside 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
Nations (``SDNs'') of the Government of Iraq.
5. Pursuant to Executive Order No. 12817 implementing UNSCR No. 778,
on October 26, 1992, FAC directed the FRBNY to establish a blocked
account for receipt of certain post-August 6, 1990, Iraqi oil sales
proceeds, and to hold, invest, and transfer these funds as required by
the order. On the same date, FAC directed the eight United States
financial institutions holding the affected oil proceeds, on allocated,
pro rata basis, to transfer a total of $200 million of these blocked
Iraqi assets to the FRBNY account. On December 15, 1992, following the
payment of $20 million by the Government of Kuwait and $30 million by
the Government of Saudi Arabia to a special United Nations-controlled
account, entitled UNSCR No. 778 Escrow Account, the FRBNY was directed
to transfer a corresponding amount of $50 million from the blocked
account it holds to the United Nations-controlled account. Future
transfers from the blocked
[[Page 113]]
FRBNY account will be made on a matching basis up to the $200 million
for which the United States is potentially obligated pursuant to UNSCR
No. 778.
6. Since the last report, one case filed against the Government of
Iraq has gone to judgment. Consarc Corporation v. Iraqi Ministry of
Industry and Minerals et al., No. 90-2269 (D.D.C., filed December 29,
1992), arose out of a contract for the sale of furnaces by plaintiff to
the Iraqi Ministry of Industry and Minerals (``MIM''), an Iraqi
governmental entity. In connection with the contract, the Iraqi
defendants opened an irrevocable letter of credit with an Iraqi bank in
favor of Consarc, which was advised by Pittsburgh National Bank
(``PNB''), with the Bank of New York (``BoNY'') entering into a
confirmed reimbursement agreement with the advising bank. Funds were
set aside at BoNY in an account of the Iraqi bank, for reimbursement of
BoNY if PNB made a payment to Consarc on the letter of credit and
sought reimbursement from BoNY. Consarc received a down payment from
the Iraqi MIM and manufactured the furnaces. No goods were shipped
prior to imposition of sanctions on August 2, 1990, and the United
States claimed that the funds on deposit in the Iraqi bank account at
BoNY were blocked, as well as the furnaces manufactured for the Iraqi
Government or the proceeds of the sale of the furnaces to third
parties. The district court ruled that the furnaces or their sales
proceeds were properly blocked pursuant to the declaration of the
national emergency and blocking of Iraqi Government property interests,
but that, due to fraud on MIM's part in concluding the sales contract,
the funds on deposit in an Iraqi bank account at BoNY were not the
property of the Government of Iraq, and ordered FAC to unblock these
funds. FAC has noted its appeal of this ruling.
7. FAC has issued a total of 337 specific licenses regarding
transactions pertaining to Iraq or Iraqi assets since August 1990.
Since the last report, 49 specific licenses have been issued. Licenses
were issued for transactions such as the filing of legal actions
involving Iraqi interests, for legal representation of Iraq, and 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 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.
8. The expenses incurred by the Federal Government in the 6-month
period from August 2, 1992, through February 1, 1993, 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 about $2 million, 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, the Bureau of Near East
and South Asian Affairs, the Bureau of International Organizations, 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.)
9. 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, including those calling for the elimination of
Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, the inviolability of the Iraq-Kuwait
boundary, the release of Kuwaiti and other third country nationals,
compensation for victims of Iraqi aggression, long-term monitoring of
weapons of mass destruction (WMD) capabilities, 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 continued 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. The Iraqi
regime continued 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. Because of
Iraq's failure to comply fully with United Nations Security Council
resolutions, 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).

The President of the United States at 9 o'clock and 7 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. President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House and the Senate,
distinguished Americans here as visitors in this Chamber, as am I, when
Presidents speak to Congress and the Nation from this podium, typically
they comment on the full range of challenges and opportunities that face
the United States. But this is not an ordinary time, and for all the
many tasks that require our attention, I believe tonight that one calls
on us to focus, to unite, and to act, and that is our economy. For more
than anything else, our task tonight as Americans is to make our economy
thrive again.
Let me begin by saying that it has been too long, at least three
decades, since a President has come and challenged Americans to join him
on a great national journey, not merely to consume the bounty of today,
but to invest for a much greater one tomorrow.
Like individuals, nations must ultimately decide how they wish to
conduct themselves, how they wish to be thought of by those with whom
they live, and, later, how they wish to be judged by history. Like every
individual man and woman, nations must decide whether they are prepared
to rise to the occasions history presents them.
We have always been a people of youthful energy and daring spirit. And
at this historic moment, as communism has fallen, as freedom is
spreading around the world, as a global economy is taking shape before
our eyes, Americans have called for change. And now it is up to those of
us in this room to deliver for them.
Our Nation needs a new direction. Tonight I present to you a
comprehensive plan to set our Nation on that new course.
I believe we will find our new direction in the basic old values that
brought us here over the last two centuries: a commitment to
opportunity, to individual responsibility, to community, to work, to
family, and to faith. We must now break the habits of both political
parties and say there can be no more something for nothing, and admit,
frankly, that we are all in this together.
The conditions which brought us as a Nation to this point are well
known. Two decades of low productivity growth and stagnant wages;
persistent unemployment and underemployment; years of huge government
deficits and declining investment in our future; exploding health care
costs and lack of coverage for millions of Americans; legions of poor
children; education and job training opportunities inadequate to the
demands of this tough global economy. For too long we have drifted
without a strong sense of purpose, of responsibility, or of community.
And our political system so often has seemed paralyzed by special
interest groups, by partisan bickering, and by the sheer complexity of
our problems.
I believe we can do better, because we remain the greatest nation of
Earth, the world's strongest economy, the world's only military
superpower. If we have the vision, the will, and the heart to make the
changes we must, we can enter the 21st century with possibilities our
parents could not even have imagined, and enter it having secured the
American dream for ourselves and for future generations.
I well remember 12 years ago President Reagan stood at this very
podium and told you and the American people that if our national debt
were stacked in thousand-dollar bills, the stack would reach 67 miles
into space. Well, today that stack would reach 267 miles.
I tell you this not to assign blame for this problem. There is plenty
of blame to go around, in both branches of the Government and both
parties. The time has come for the blame to end. I did not seek this
office to place blame. I come here tonight to accept responsibility,
and I want you to accept responsibility with me. And if we do right by
this country, I do not care who gets the credit for it.
The plan I offer you has four fundamental components:
First, it shifts our emphasis in public and private spending from
consumption to investment, initially by jump-starting the economy in
the short term and investing in our people, their jobs, and their
incomes, over the long run.
Second, it changes the rhetoric of the past into the actions of the
present, by honoring work and families in every part of our public
decisionmaking.
Third, it substantially reduces the Federal deficit, honestly and
credibly, by using in the beginning the most conservative estimates of
government revenues, not as the executive branch has done so often in
the past, using the most optimistic ones.
Finally, it seeks to earn the trust of the American people by paying
for these plans first with cuts in government waste and inefficiency.
Second, with cuts, not gimmicks, in Government spending, and by
fairness, for a change, in the way the burdens are borne.
Tonight I want to talk with you about what government can do, because
I believe government must do more. But let me say first that the real
engine of economic growth in this country is the private sector. And,
second, that each of us must be an engine of growth and change. The
truth is that as government creates more opportunity in this new and
different time, we must also demand more responsibility in return.
Our immediate priority must be to create jobs, create jobs now. Some
people say, well, we are in a recovery. We don't have to do that. Well,
we all hope we are in a recovery, but we sure are not creating new
jobs. And there is no recovery worth its salt that doesn't put the
American people back to work.
To create jobs and guarantee a strong recovery, I call on Congress to
enact an immediate package of jobs investments of over $30 billion to
put people to work now, to create a half-million jobs: jobs to rebuild
our highways and airports, to renovate housing, to bring new life to
rural communities, and to spread hope and opportunity among our
Nation's youth. Especially I want to emphasize after the events of last
year in Los Angeles and the countless stories of despair in our cities
and in our poor rural communities, this proposal will create almost
700,000 new summer jobs for displaced unemployed young people alone
this summer. And tonight I invite America's business leaders to join us
in this effort, so that together we can provide over 1 million summer
jobs in cities and poor rural areas for our young people.
Second, our plan looks beyond today's business cycle, because our
aspi-
[[Page 120]]
rations extend into the next century. The heart of this plan deals with
the long term. It is an investment program designed to increase public
and private investment in areas critical to our economic future. And it
has a deficit-reduction program that will increase the savings
available for the private sector to invest, will lower interest rates,
will decrease the percentage of the Federal budget claimed by interest
payments, and decrease the risk of financial-market disruption that
could adversely affect our economy.
Over the long run, all this will bring us a higher rate of economic
growth, improved productivity, more high-quality jobs, and an improved
economic competitive position in the world.
In order to accomplish both increased investment and deficit
reduction, something no American Government has ever been called upon
to do at the same time before, spending must be cut and taxes must be
raised. The spending cuts I recommend were carefully thought through in
a way to minimize any adverse economic impact, to capture the peace
dividend for investment purposes, and to switch the balance in the
budget from consumption to more investment. The tax increases and the
spending cuts were both designed to assure that the cost of this
historic program to face and deal with our problems will be borne by
those who could readily afford it the most.
Our plan is designed, furthermore, and perhaps in some ways most
importantly, to improve the health of American business through lower
interest rates, more incentives to invest, and better-trained workers.
Because small business has created such a high percentage of all the
new jobs in our Nation over the last 10 or 15 years, our plan includes
the boldest targeted incentives for small business in history. We
propose a permanent investment tax credit for the smallest firms in
this country, with revenues under $5 million. That is about 90 percent
of the firms in America, employing about 40 percent of the work force,
but creating a big majority of the net new jobs in more than a decade.
We propose new rewards for entrepreneurs to take new risks. We
propose to give small business access to all the new technologies of
our time, and we propose to attack this credit crunch, which has denied
small business the credit they need to flourish and prosper.
With a new network of community development banks, and $1 billion to
make the dream of enterprise zones real, we propose to bring new hope
and new jobs to storefronts and factories from south Boston to south
Texas to south-central Los Angeles.
This plan invests in our roads, our bridges, our transit systems, in
high-speed railways, and high-tech information systems, and it provides
the most ambitious environmental cleanup in partnership with State and
local government of our time, to put people to work and to preserve the
environment for our future.
Standing as we are on the edge of a new century, we know that
economic growth depends as never before on opening up new markets
overseas and expanding the volume of world trade. And so we will insist
on fair trade rules in international markets as a part of a national
economic strategy to expand trade, including the successful completion
of the latest round of world trade talks and the successful completion
of a North American Free Trade Agreement with appropriate safeguards
for our workers and for the environment. At the same time, and I say
this to you in both parties and across America tonight, all the people
who are listening, it is not enough to pass a budget or even to have a
trade agreement. The world is changing so fast that we must have
aggressive targeted attempts to create the high-wage jobs of the
future. That is what all our competitors are doing. Special attention
to those critical industries that are going to explode in the 21st
century, but are in trouble in America today, like aerospace. We must
provide special assistance to areas and to workers displaced by cuts in
the defense budget and by other unavoidable economic dislocations.
Again I will say that we must do this together. I pledge to you that
I will do my best to see that business and labor and government work
together for a change.
But all of our efforts to strengthen the economy will fail--let me
say this again, I feel so strongly about this--all of our efforts to
strengthen the economy will fail unless we also take this year, not
next year, not 5 years from now, but this year, bold steps to reform
our health care system.
In 1992 we spent 14 percent of our income on health care, more than
30 percent more than any other country in the world, and yet we were
the only advanced nation that did not provide a basic package of health
care benefits to all of its citizens. Unless we change the present
pattern, 50 percent of the growth in the deficit between now and the
year 2000 will be in health care costs. By the year 2000 almost 20
percent of our income will be in health care. Our families will never
be secure, our businesses will never be strong, and our Government will
never again be fully solvent until we tackle the health care crisis. We
must do it this year.
The combination of the rising cost of care and the lack of care and
the fear of losing care are endangering the security and the very lives
of millions of our people, and they are weakening our economy every
day. Reducing health care costs can liberate literally hundreds of
billions of dollars for new investment in growth and jobs. Bringing
health costs in line with inflation would do more for the private
sector in this country than any tax cut we could give and any spending
program we could promote. Reforming health care over the long run is
critically essential
to reducing not only our deficit, but to expanding investment in
America.
Later this spring, after the First Lady and many good people who are
helping her all across the country complete their work, I will deliver
to Congress a comprehensive plan for health care reform that finally
will bring costs under control and provide security to all of our
families, so that no one will be denied the coverage they need, but so
that our economic future will not be compromised either. We will have
to root out fraud and overcharges and make sure that paperwork no
longer chokes your doctor. We will have to maintain the highest
American standards, and the right to choose, and a system that is the
world's finest for all those who can access it. But first we must make
choices. We must choose to give the American people the quality they
demand and deserve with a system that will not bankrupt the country or
further drive more Americans into agony.
Let me further say that I want to work with all of you on this. I
realize this is a complicated issue. But we must address it. And I
believe if there is any chance that Democrats or Republicans who
disagree on taxes or spending or anything else can agree on one thing,
surely we can all look at these numbers and go home and tell our people
the truth--we cannot continue these spending patterns in public or
private dollars for health care for less and less and less every year.
We can do better.
Perhaps the most fundamental change the new direction I propose
offers is its focus on the future and its investment which I seek in
our children. Each day we delay really making a commitment to our
children carries a dear cost. Half of the two-year-olds in this country
today don't receive the immunizations they need against deadly
diseases. Our plan will provide them for every eligible child, and we
know now that we will save $10 later for every $1 we spend by
eliminating preventable childhood diseases. That is a good investment
no matter how you measure it.
The Women, Infants, and Children nutrition program will be expanded
so that every expectant mother who needs the help gets it.
We all know that Head Start, a program that prepares children for
school, is a success story. We all know that it saves money. But today
it just reaches barely over a third of all the eligible children. Under
this plan every eligible child will be able to get a head start. This
is not just the right thing to do, it is the smart thing to do. For
every dollar we invest today, we will save three tomorrow. We have to
start thinking about tomorrow. I've heard that somewhere before.
We have to ask more in our schools, of our students, our teachers,
our principals, our parents. Yes, we must give them the resources they
need to meet high standards. But we must also use the authority and the
influence and the
[[Page 121]]
funding of the Education Department to promote strategies that really
work in learning. Money alone is not enough. We have to do what really
works to increase learning in our schools.
All of our high school graduates need some further education in order
to be competitive in this global economy, so we have to establish a
partnership between businesses and education and the Government for
apprenticeship programs in every State in this country to give our
people the skills they need.
Lifelong learning will benefit not just young high school graduates,
but workers too throughout their careers. The average 18-year-old today
will change jobs seven times in a lifetime. We have done a lot in this
country on worker training in the last few years, but the system is too
fractured. We must develop a unified, simplified, sensible, streamlined
worker training program so that workers receive the training they need,
regardless of why they lost their jobs or whether they simply need to
learn something new to keep them. We have got to do better than this.
Finally, I propose a program that got a great response from the
American people all across this country last year, a program of
national service to make college loans available to all Americans, and
to challenge them at the same time to give something back to their
country--as teachers, or police officers, or as community service
workers. To give them the option to pay the loans back, but at tax
time, so they can't beat the bill, but to encourage them instead to pay
it back by making their country stronger and making their country
better, and giving us the benefit of their time.
A generation ago when President Kennedy proposed and the United
States Congress embraced the Peace Corps, it defined the character of a
whole generation of Americans committed to serving people around the
world. In this national service program we will provide more than twice
as many slots for people before they go to college to be in national
service than ever served in the Peace Corps. This program could do for
this generation of Members of Congress what the Land Grant College Act
did and what the G.I. Bill did for former Congressmen. In the future
historians who got their education through the national service loan
will look back on you and thank you for giving America a new lease on
life if you meet this challenge.
If we believe in jobs and we believe in learning, we must believe in
rewarding work. If we believe in restoring the values that make America
special, we must believe that there is dignity in all work, and there
must be dignity for all workers. To those who care for our sick, who
tend our children, who do our most difficult and tiring jobs, the new
direction I propose will make this solemn, simple commitment: by
expanding the refundable earned income tax credit, we will make
history. We will reward the work of millions of working poor Americans
by realizing the principle that if you work 40 hours a week and you
have got a child in the house, you will no longer be in poverty.
Later this year we will offer a plan to end welfare as we know it. I
have worked on this issue for the better part of a decade, and I know
from personal conversations with many people, that no one, no one wants
to change the welfare system, as badly as those who are trapped in it.
I want to offer the people on welfare the education, the training,
the child care, and the health care they need to get back on their
feet. But, say, after 2 years, they must get back to work too, in
private business if possible, in public service if necessary. We have
to end welfare as a way of life and make it a path to independence and
dignity.
Our next great goal should be to strengthen our families. I
compliment the Congress for passing the Family and Medical Leave Act as
a good first step, but it is time to do more. This plan will give this
country the toughest child support enforcement system it has ever had.
It is time to demand that people take responsibility for the children
they bring into this world.
I ask you to help to protect our families against the violent crime
which terrorizes our people and which tears our communities apart. We
must pass a tough crime bill. I support not only the bill which did not
quite make it to the President's desk last year, but also an initiative
to put 100,000 more police officers on the street, to provide boot
camps for first-time nonviolent offenders, for more space for the
hardened criminals in jail, and I support an initiative to do what we
can to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. Let me say this: I will
make you this bargain; if you will pass the Brady bill, I will sure
sign it.
Let me say now we should move to the harder parts. I think it is
clear to every American, including every Member of Congress of both
parties, that the confidence of the people who pay our bills in our
institutions in Washington is not high. We must restore it. We must
begin again to make government work for ordinary taxpayers, not simply
for organized interest groups. And that beginning will start with real
political reform.
I am asking the United States Congress to pass a real campaign
finance reform bill this year. I ask you to increase the participation
of the American people by passing the motor-voter bill promptly. I ask
you to deal with the undue influence of special interests by passing a
bill to end the tax deduction for lobbying and to act quickly to
require all the people who lobby you to register as lobbyists by
passing the lobbying registration bill.
Believe me, they were cheering that last section at home. I believe
lobby reform and campaign finance reform are a sure path to increased
popularity for Republicans and Democrats alike, because it says to the
voters back home, this is your House, this is your Senate. We are your
hired hands, and every penny we draw is your money.
Next to revolutionize government we have to ensure that we live
within our means, and that should start at the top and with the White
House. In the last few days I have announced a cut in the White House
staff of 25 percent, saving approximately $10 million. I have ordered
administrative cuts in budgets of agencies and departments. I have cut
the Federal bureaucracy, or will over the next 4 years, by
approximately 100,000 positions, for a combined savings of $9 billion.
It is time for government to demonstrate in the condition we are in
that we can be as frugal as any household in America. And that is why I
also want to congratulate the Congress. I noticed in meeting with the
leadership today that Congress cut its cost. I think that is important.
I think it will send a very clear signal to the American people.
But if we really want to cut spending, we are going to have to do
more. And some of it will be difficult. Tonight I call for an across-
the-board freeze in Federal Government salaries for 1 year. Thereafter,
during this 4-year period, I recommend that salaries rise at one point
lower than the cost-of-living allowance normally involved in Federal
pay increases.
Next I recommend that we make 150 specific budget cuts, as you know,
and that all those who say we should cut more be as specific as I have
been.
Finally, let me say to my friends on both sides of the aisle, it is
not enough simply to cut government. We have to rethink the whole way
it works. When I became President I was amazed at just the way the
White House worked in ways that added lots of money to what taxpayers
had to pay, outmoded ways that didn't take maximum advantage of
technology and did not do things that any business would have done
years ago to save taxpayers money. So I want to bring a new spirit of
innovation into every government department. I want to push education
reform, as I said, not just to spend more money, but to really improve
learning. Some things work and some things don't. We ought to be
subsidizing the things that work, and discouraging the things that
don't.
I would like to use that Superfund to clean up pollution for a
change, and not just pay lawyers.
We must use Federal bank regulators to protect the security and
safety of our financial institutions, but they should not be used to
continue the credit crunch and to stop people from making sensible
loans.
I would like for us to not only have welfare reform, but to reexamine
the whole focus of all of our programs that help people, to shift them
from entitlement programs to empowerment programs. In the end, we want
people not to need us any more, and I think that is important.
But in the end, we have to get back to the deficit. For years, there
has been
[[Page 122]]
a lot of talk about it, but very few credible efforts to deal with it.
And now I understand why, having dealt with the real numbers for 4
weeks. But I believe this plan does. It tackles the budget deficit
seriously, and over the long term. It puts in place one of the biggest
deficit reductions and one of the biggest changes in Federal
priorities, from consumption to investment, in the history of this
country at the same time over the next four years.
Let me say to all the people watching us tonight who will ask me
these questions beginning tomorrow as I go around the country, who have
asked it in the past, we are not cutting the deficit just because
experts say it is the thing to do or because it has some intrinsic
merit. We have to cut the deficit because the more we spend paying off
the debt, the less tax dollars we have to invest in jobs, in education,
and the future of this country. And the more money we take out of the
pool of available savings, the harder it is for people in the private
sector to borrow money at affordable interest rates for a college loan
for their children, for a home mortgage, or to start a new business.
That is why we have got to reduce the debt, because it is crowding out
other activities that we ought to be engaged in and that the American
people ought to be engaged in.
We cut the deficit so that our children will be able to buy a home,
so that our companies can invest in the future, in retraining its
workers, and so that our government can make the kinds of investments
we need to be a stronger and smarter and safer Nation.
If we don't act now, you and I might not even recognize this
government 10 years from now. If we just stay with the same trends of
the last 4 years, by the end of the decade the deficit will be $635
billion a year, almost 80 percent of our gross domestic product. And
paying the interest on that debt will be the costliest government
program of all. We will still be the world's largest debtor. And when
Members of Congress come here, they will be devoting over 20 cents on
the dollar to interest payments, more than half of the budget to health
care and to other entitlements, and you will come here and deliberate
and argue over 6 or 7 cents on the dollar, no matter what America's
problems are.
We will not be able to have the independence we need to chart the
future that we must, and we will be terribly dependent on foreign funds
for a large portion of our investment.
This budget plan, by contrast, will by 1997 cut $140 billion in that
year alone from the deficit, a real spending cut, a real revenue
increase, a real deficit reduction, using the independent numbers of
the Congressional Budget Office.
Well, you can laugh, my fellow Republicans, but I will point out that
the Congressional Budget Office was normally more conservative about
what was going to happen and closer to right than previous Presidents
have been. I did this so that we could argue about priorities with the
same set of numbers.
I did this so no one could say I am estimating my way out of this
difficulty. I did this because if we can agree together on the most
prudent revenues we are likely to get if the recovery stays and we do
right things economically, then it will turn out better for the
American people than we say. In the last 12 years, because there were
differences over the revenue estimates, you and I know that both
parties were given greater elbow room for irresponsibility. This is
tightening the rein on the Democrats as well as the Republicans. Let's
at least argue about the same set of numbers so the American people
will think we are being straight with them.
As I said earlier, my recommendation makes more than 150 difficult
reductions to cut the Federal spending by a total of $246 billion. We
are eliminating programs that are no longer needed, such as nuclear
power research and development. We are slashing subsidies and
cancelling wasteful projects. Many of these programs were justified in
their time. A lot of them are difficult for me to recommend reduction
in. Some really tough ones for me personally. I recommend that we
reduce interest subsidies to the Rural Electric Administration. This is
a difficult thing for me to recommend. But I think that I cannot exempt
the things that exist in my State or in my experience if I ask you to
deal with things that are difficult for you to deal with. We are going
to have no sacred cows, except the fundamental abiding interests of the
American people.
I have to say that we all know our government has been just great at
building programs. The time has come to show the American people that
we can limit them, too. We cannot only start things, but we can
actually stop things. As we restructure our military forces to meet the
new threats of the post-Cold War World, it is true that we can
responsibly reduce our defense budget. And we may all doubt what that
range of reduction is. But let me say that as long as I am President, I
will do everything I can to make sure that the men and women who serve
under the American Flag will remain the best trained, the best
prepared, the best equipped fighting force in the world, and every one
of you should make that solemn pledge. We still have responsibilities
around the world. We are the world's only superpower. This is still a
dangerous and uncertain time. And we owe it to the people in uniform to
make sure that we adequately provide for the national defense and for
their interests and needs.
Backed by an effective national defense and a stronger economy, our
Nation will be prepared to lead a world challenge, as it is everywhere,
by ethnic conflicts, by the proliferation of weapons of mass
destruction, by the global democratic revolution, and by
challenges to the health of our global environment.
I know this economic plan is ambitious, but I honestly believe it is
necessary for the continued greatness of the United States. And I think
it is paid for fairly, first by cutting government, then by asking the
most of those who benefited the most in the past, and by asking more
Americans to contribute today so that all of us can prosper tomorrow.
For the wealthiest, those earning more than $180,000 per year, I ask
you who are listening tonight to support a raise in the top rate for
Federal income taxes from 31 to 36 percent. We recommend a 10 percent
surtax on incomes over $250,000 a year. And we recommend closing some
loopholes that let some people get away without paying any tax at all.
For businesses with taxable incomes in excess of $10 million, we
recommend a raise in the corporate tax rate also to 36 percent, as well
as a cut in the deduction for business entertainment expenses.
Our plan seeks to attack tax subsidies that actually reward companies
more for shutting their operations down here and moving them overseas
than for staying here and reinvesting in America. I say that as someone
who believes that American companies should be free to invest around
the world and as a former Governor who actively sought investment of
foreign companies in my State. But the Tax Code should not express a
preference to American companies for moving somewhere else, and it does
in particular places today.
We will seek to ensure that through effective tax enforcement,
foreign corporations who do make money in America simply pay the same
taxes that American companies make on the same income.
To middle-class Americans who have paid a great deal for the last 12
years, and from whom I ask a contribution tonight, I will say again, as
I did on Monday night, you are not going alone anymore, you are
certainly not going first, and you are not going to pay more for less
as you have too often in the past.
I want to emphasize the facts about this plan: 98.8 percent of
America's families will have no increase in their income-tax rates,
only 1.2 percent at the top.
Let me be clear: There will also be no new cuts in benefits for
Medicare. As we move toward the fourth year with the explosion in
health care costs, as I said, expected to account for 50 percent of the
growth in the deficit between now and the year 2000, there must be
planned cuts in payments to providers, to doctors, to hospitals, to
labs, as a way of controlling health care costs. But I see these only
as a stopgap until we can reform the entire health care system. If you
will let me do that, we can be fair to the providers and to the
consumers of health care.
Let me repeat this, because I know it matters to a lot of you on both
sides of
[[Page 123]]
the aisle. This plan does not make a recommendation for new cuts in
Medicare benefits for any beneficiary.
Secondly, the only change we are making in Social Security is one
that has already been publicized. The plan does ask older Americans
with higher incomes who do not rely solely on Social Security to get by
to contribute more. This plan will not affect the 80 percent of Social
Security recipients who do not pay taxes on Social Security now. Those
who do not pay tax on Social Security now will not be affected by this
plan.
Our plan does include a broad-based tax on energy. And I want to tell
you why I selected this and why I think it is a good idea. I recommend
that we adopt a BTU tax on the heat content of energy as the best way
to provide us with revenue to lower the deficit, because it also
combats pollution, promotes energy efficiency, promotes the
independence economically of this country, as well as helping to reduce
the debt, and because it does not discriminate against any area. Unlike
a carbon tax, it is not too hard on the coal States. Unlike a gas tax,
it is not too tough on people who drive a long way to work. Unlike an
ad valorem tax, it doesn't increase just when the price of an energy
source goes up. And it is environmentally responsible. It will help us
in the future, as well as in the present, with the deficit.
Taken together, these measures will cost an American family with an
income of about $40,000 a year less than $17 a month. It will cost
American families with incomes under $30,000 nothing because of other
programs we propose, principally those raising the earned income tax
credit.
Because of our publicly stated determination to reduce the deficit,
if we do these things we will see the continuation of what has happened
just since the election. Just since the election, since the Secretary
of the Treasury, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget,
and others have begun to speak out publicly in favor of a tough
deficit-reduction plan, interest rates have continued to fall long-
term. That means that, for the middle class who will pay something more
each month, if they have any credit needs or demands, their increased
energy costs will be more than offset by lower interests costs for
mortgages, consumer loans, and credit cards. This can be a wise
investment for them and their country now.
I would also point out what the American people already know, and
that is because we are a big vast country, where we drive long
distances, we have maintained far lower burdens on energy than any
other advanced country. We will still have far lower burdens on energy
than any other advanced country, and these will be spread fairly, with
real attempts to make sure that no cost is imposed on families with
income under $30,000, and that the costs are very modest until
you get into the higher income groups where the income taxes trigger
in.
Now I ask all of you to consider this. Whatever you think of the tax
program, whatever you think of the spending cuts, consider the cost of
not changing. Remember the numbers that you all know. If we just keep
on doing what we are doing, by the end of the decade we will have a
$650 billion a year deficit. If we just keep on doing what we are
doing, by the end of the decade 20 percent of our national income will
go to health care every year, twice as much as any other country on the
face of the globe. If we just keep on doing what we are doing, over 20
cents on the dollar will have to go to service the debt.
Unless we have the courage now to start building our future and stop
borrowing from it, we are condemning ourselves to years of stagnation,
interrupted by occasional recessions; to slow growth in jobs, to no
more growth in incomes, to more debt, to more disappointment.
Worse yet, unless we change, unless we increase investment and reduce
the debt, to raise productivity so that we can generate both jobs and
incomes, we will be condemning our children and our children's children
to a lesser life than we enjoyed.
Once Americans looked forward to doubling their living standards
every 25 years. At present productivity rates, it will take 100 years
to double living standards, until our grandchildren's grandchildren are
born. I say that is too long to wait.
Tonight the American people know we have to change. But they are also
likely to ask me tomorrow, and all of you for the weeks and months
ahead, whether we have the fortitude to make the changes happen in the
right way.
They know that as soon as I leave this Chamber and you go home,
various interest groups will be out in force lobbying against this or
that piece of this plan, and that the forces of conventional wisdom
will offer 1,000 reasons why we well ought to do this, but we just
can't do it. Our people will be watching and wondering, not to see
whether you disagree with me on a particular issue, but just to see
whether this is going to be business as usual, or a real new day.
Whether we are all going to conduct ourselves as if we know we are
working for them.
We must scale the walls of the people's skepticism. Not with our
words, but with our deeds. After so many years of gridlock and
indecision, after so many hopeful beginnings and so few promising
results, the American people are going to be harsh in their judgments
of all of us if we fail to seize this moment.
This economic plan can't please everybody. If the package is picked
apart, there will be something that will anger each of us. It won't
please anybody. But if it is taken as a whole, it will help all of us.
So I ask you all to begin by resisting the temptation to focus only
on a particular spending cut you don't like or some particular investment that
wasn't made. And nobody likes the tax increases. But let's just face
facts: For 20 years, through administrations of both parties, incomes
have stalled and debt has exploded and productivity has not grown as it
should. We cannot deny the reality of our condition. We have got to
play the hand we were dealt and play it as best we can.
My fellow Americans, the test of this plan cannot be what is in it
for me. It has got to be what is in it for us.
If we work hard, and if we work together, if we rededicate ourselves
to creating jobs, to rewarding work, to strengthening our families, to
reinventing our Government, we can lift our country's fortunes again.
Tonight I ask everyone in this Chamber, every American, to look
simply into your own heart, to spark your own hopes, to fire your own
imagination. There is so much good, so much possibility, so much
excitement in this country now, that if we act boldly and honestly, as
leaders should, our legacy will be one of prosperity and progress. This
must be America's new direction. Let us summon the courage to seize it.
Thank you. God bless America.

Para. 13.14 message from the president--a vision of change for america
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. WYNN, laid before the House a message
from the President, which was read as follows:
To the Congress of the United States:
To accompany my address to the Joint Session of the Congress, I am
submitting this report, entitled A Vision of Change for America. This
report describes the comprehensive economic plan I am proposing for the
Nation.
I am asking you to join with the American people in their call for
change. My vision is one of fundamental change--to invest in people, to
reward hard work and restore fairness, and to recognize our families and
communities as the cornerstones of America's strength.
For more than a decade, our government has been caught in the grip of
the failed policy of trickle-down economics. While the rich get richer,
middle-class Americans pay more taxes to their government and get less
in return. My plan will put an end to government that benefits the
privileged few and mark the beginning of an economic strategy that puts
people first.
My plan has three key elements: economic stimulus to create jobs now
while laying the foundation for long-term economic growth; long-term
public investments to increase the productivity of our people and
businesses; and a serious, fair, and balanced deficit-reduction plan to
stop the government from draining the private investments that generate
jobs and increase incomes.
The change will not be easy, but the cost of not changing is far
greater. We must ensure that our children's generation is not the first
to do worse than their parents. We must restore the American dream.
We have already heard the clamor of the powerful special interests who
op-
[[Page 129]]
pose change because they profit from the status quo. But the American
people have demanded change, and it is our responsibility to answer
their call. With that in mind, I ask for your help and support to
restore our economy and give our people hope.
William J. Clinton.

Para. 16.3 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. 1. An Act to amend the Public Health Service Act to
revise and extend the programs of the National Institutes of
Health, and for other purposes.
Para. 16.4 providing for the consideration of h.r. 920
Mr. BONIOR, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the
following resolution (H. Res. 103):
Resolved, That upon the adoption of this resolution it
shall be in order to consider in the House the bill (H.R.
920) to extend the emergency unemployment compensation
program, and for other purposes. The amendment recommended by
the Committee on Ways and Means printed in the bill and the
amendment printed in the report of the Committee on Rules
accompanying this resolution shall be considered as adopted.
All points of order against the bill, as amended, and against
its consideration are waived. Debate on the bill shall not
exceed two hours equally divided and controlled by the
chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Ways
and Means. The previous question shall be considered as
ordered on the bill, as amended, to final passage without
intervening motion except one motion to recommit.
Pending consideration of said resolution,
Para. 16.5 point of order
Mr. WALKER made a point of order against the resolution, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order against House Resolution 103 on
the ground that two amendments self-executed by the resolution are in
violation of two different House rules, and I ask to be heard on my
point of order.
``Mr. Speaker, first, House Resolution 103 is in violation of clause
5(a) of rule XXI because it proposes to adopt the Ways and Means
Committee amendment printed as section 4 in H.R. 920 as reported. That
section deals with financing provisions and in effect reappropriates
advance account funds to make payments to the States to provide these
additional benefits. Clause 5(a) of rule XXI prohibits appropriations
provisions in a bill not reported by the appropriations committee.
``Second, Mr. Speaker, House Resolution 103 attempts to adopt an
amendment contained in the report to accompany the resolution extending
coverage of the bill to railroad employees. That amendment is in
violation of clause 7 of rule XVI which prohibits the consideration of
germane amendments. The amendment contained in the Rules Committee
report is under the jurisdiction of the Energy and Commerce Committee
and is therefore not germane to this bill from the Ways and Means
Committee.
``Mr. Speaker, since both of those amendments will be considered to be
adopted when this rule is adopted, they are currently before us and must
be subject to points of order. It is clear from the rule that once the
rule is adopted, the bill as amended by them is not subject to points of
order. But, prior to the adoption of this resolution, those two
amendments are obviously a part of this resolution and subject to the
two points of order I have raised.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, overruled the point of order,
and said:
``The Chair is prepared to rule.
[[Page 139]]
``The fact that amendments which if offered separately would be
violative of the rules does not prevent the Rules Committee from self-
executing the adoption of those amendments together in the rule itself,
by providing for their adoption upon the adoption of the rule. The
amendments are thus not separately before the House at this time.''.
Para. 16.6 point of order
Mr. WALKER made a further point of order against the resolution, and
said:
``Mr. Speaker, I make another point of order against House Resolution
103 on the ground that it is in violation of section 308(a) of the
Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
``Mr. Speaker, section 308(a) of the Congressional Budget Act provides
that, and I quote, ``Whenever a committee of either House reports to its
House a bill or resolution, or committee amendment thereto, providing
new budget authority * * * new spending authority described in section
401(c)(2), or new credit authority * * * the report accompanying that
bill or resolution shall contain a statement, the report accompanying
that bill or resolution shall contain a statement, or the committee
shall make available such a statement * * * prepared after consultation
with the Director of the Congressional Budget Office'' detailing the
costs of that provision.
``Mr. Speaker, the amendment contained in the Rules Committee report,
which would be adopted upon the adoption of this resolution, extends
coverage of this bill to railroad workers. It is my understanding that
this may entail a cost of $20 million, but the Rules Committee has not
provided a cost estimate from CBO in its report on this amendment as
required by section 308 of the Budget Act. This is an amendment reported
by the Rules Committee and therefore is subject to the CBO cost estimate
requirements. I therefore urge that my point of order be sustained.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, overruled the point of order,
and said:
``The Chair is prepared to rule.
``The gentleman from Pennsylvania, [Mr. Walker] raises an objection
based on section 308(a) of the Budget Act on the basis that the report
accompanying this resolution coming from the Rules Committee would have
to have a CBO estimate of the potential cost involved by virtue of
adoption of the amendment. However, the Chair, after consulting
precedents and the rules of the House, rules that the cost estimate does
not have to be made a part of the report accompanying the rule being
brought from the Rules Committee, but rather the point of order might
lie against the underlying bill. The resolution itself does not enact
budget authority and, therefore, the resolution coming from the Rules
Committee does not itself have to have the cost estimate in the
accompanying report.
``Therefore, the Chair now would overrule the gentleman's point of
order.''.
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. MAZZOLI, announced that the yeas had it.
Mr. DREIER 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 previous question on the resolution was ordered.
Para. 16.8 point of order
Mr. WALKER made a further point of order against the resolution, and
said:
``Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order against the amendment printed
in the Rules Committee report, which I understand is now before us,
based upon the Chair's previous ruling.
``I make my point of order on the ground that the report in this
resolu-
[[Page 140]]
tion violates section 308(a) of the Budget Act requiring a cost
estimate.
``Section 308(a) of the Budget Act, which requires the CBO cost
estimate in the report on any committee bill, resolution or amendment,
contains no exemption for the report of the Committee on Rules.
``I quote from the section 308(a) of the Congressional Budget Act:
Whenever a committee of either house reports to its house a
bill or resolution or committee amendment thereto providing
new budget authority, new spending authority described in
section 402(c)(2) or new credit authority, the report
accompanying that bill or resolution shall contain a
statement or the committee shall make available such a
statement prepared after consultation with the director of
the Congressional Budget Office.
``Mr. Speaker, earlier in the debate on this particular resolution,
the gentleman who purports to be the author of the railroad worker
amendment admitted costs are involved in his amendment. The quote that I
have just read means that the committee then has an obligation to
provide to the House a congressional budget statement.
``Section 308(a) clearly applies to the committee amendment, and the
amendment contained in the Rules Committee or report is a Rules
Committee amendment. It was not reported by the Ways and Means
Committee, it was not reported by the Energy and Commerce Committee and
so therefore is exclusively in the jurisdiction of the Rules Committee.
``The amendment contained in the Rules Committee report on this
resolution will be considered to have been adopted when this resolution
is adopted. So there is no question who should provide the CBO cost
estimate. It is the Rules Committee. They are not above the rules.
``Mr. Speaker, I ask that my point of order be sustained.''.
Mr. BONIOR was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``We had this argument a little over an hour ago and it is again
timely, as the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Walker] has indicated.
``He refers to section 308. Section 308 applies to measures providing
new budget authority. The resolution before us does not provide for new
budget authority.
``The rule makes in order a bill as amended. The bill as amended
provides for the new spending.
``House Resolution 103 waives all points of order against the bill as
amended and against its consideration. It waives all points of order
against the bill and against its consideration.
``Mr. Speaker, I ask the Chair to rule that the point of order is not
in order.''.
Mr. WALKER was recognized to speak further, and said:
``It is true the Rules Committee has waived all points of order
against the bill that would be considered pursuant to this rule. That is
the reason why this point of order is timely now.
``When it comes to a question in the bill itself, the point of order
with regard to the Budget Act will not be in order because that point of
order has been waived. The only time we can get at this particular item
is in the self-enacting amendment which is a part of the rule.
``The gentleman [Mr Bonior] has not referred to the self-enacting
amendment. That is the question to which this particular point of order
pertains and it is up to the Chair, I think, to sustain the point of
order based upon the fact that the self-enacting amendment within this
rule does in fact add costs. It is new budget authority and is therefore
in violation of the Congressional Budget Act.''.
Mr. WILLIAMS was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``Mr. Speaker, it does seem to me that my colleagues are correct in
wanting to be informed with regard to the cost effect of that provision
which is executed by this rule. That provision has been handled this way
three times by previous Congresses. The provision includes, this is what
we are executing here, it includes coverage, extended unemployment
coverage for America's railroad workers who have their own unemployment
fund and therefore would not be covered unless there was a separate
amendment or unless we do it this way. Previous Congresses have chosen
to do it this way.
``The cost, Mr. Speaker, is estimated by both the Congressional Budget
Office as well as the Railroad Retirement Trust Fund System, to be $2\1/
2\ million for the coming year, and the coverage would be extended to
1,200 railroad workers.
``I do think my colleagues are correct in asking for that information,
and they now have it.''.
Mr. WALKER was recognized to speak further, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from Montana [Mr. Williams] has just made
the case. While he has informed the House of his estimate of what this
costs, the fact is that the rules of the House require that the
statement be a Congressional Budget Office statement contained within
the report. That is what the House does not have. That is what the House
requires.
``The gentleman from Montana has also made the point that his
amendment is included in this rule, that it is new budget authority,
that it does extend to new people and it does cost at least $2\1/2\
million. That is information that should be contained in the committee
report. It is not. It is therefore a violation of the rules of the
House. It is a violation of the Budget Act, and my point of order should
be sustained.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, overruled the point of order,
and said:
``The Chair is prepared to rule.
``The amendment printed in the bill and the amendment printed in House
Report 103-18 will be considered as adopted by the operation of House
Resolution 103, which is the special order now pending before the House.
``After adoption of this special order, House Resolution 103, the bill
is called up for consideration as so amended.
``A point of order under section 308 of the Budget Act against
consideration of the bill in that form could properly come at that point
when the bill is called up for consideration.
``As the Chair indicated previously, the new budget authority at issue
would be provided not by the resolution reported by the Committee on
Rules, but rather by the bill as amended.
``At this point, the point of order does not lie. That all points of
order against the bill as amended will be waived by House Resolution
103, if adopted, does not cause such points of order to lie at some
earlier stage.
``The rules of the House authorize the Committee on Rules to report a
resolution providing a special order of business, and a point of order
under Section 308 of the Budget Act does not lie against such a
resolution on the ground that its adoption would have the effect of
abrogating clause 2(l)(3) of rule XI, which incorporates the requirement
of section 308 in the standing rules.
``Accordingly, the point of order is overruled.''.
The question being put, viva voce,
Will the House agree to said resolution?
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, announced that the yeas had it.
Mr. DREIER 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.

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. 16.10 emergency unemployment compensation extension
On motion of Mr. ROSTENKOWSKI, pursuant to House Resolution 103, the
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union was discharged
from further consideration of the bill (H.R. 920) to extend the
emergency unemployment compensation program, and for other purposes.
When said bill was considered and read twice.
Pursuant to House Resolution 103, the amendment recommended by the
Committee on Ways and Means printed in the bill and the amendment
printed in the report (Rept. No. 103-18) of the Committee on Rules
accompanying said resolution were considered as adopted.
After debate,
The previous question having been ordered by said resolution.
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 instructions to report the bill back to the House forthwith
without section 6 (designating the spending provided and authorized as
emergency requirements under the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit
Control Act of 1985), and with an extension of the emergency
unemployment compensation benefits through October 1993 which is offset
in a manner consistent with the current budget rules and which does not
increase the deficit for fiscal years 1993 and 1994.
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. LaROCCO, announced that the nays had it.
Mr. ARCHER 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.

transmit herewith the annual report on mine safety and health activities

and appropriate to better protect worker health and safety.

the new Administration intends to take to ensure the agency is

Para. 21.11 recognition of atf agents
On motion of Mr. HOYER, by unanimous consent, the following concurrent
resolution of the Senate was taken from the Speaker's table (S. Con.
Res. 12):
Whereas Special Agents Steve Willis, Robert J. Williams,
Conway LeBleu and Todd McKeehan, of the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco and Firearms, were killed by hostile gunfire in the
performance of a heroic effort to disarm a hostile cult and
to protect the lives of innocent persons, including children,
living in its compound;
Whereas these men, along with 15 other special agents who
were wounded during this confrontation, were members of the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms elite Special
Response Teams, whose members are highly-trained and
experienced in the execution of high-risk operations;
Whereas such Special Response Teams have been deployed over
230 times in the past year with no injury to any agent,
including during a highly-publicized siege involving a
fugitive white supremacist and during the Los Angeles civil
disturbances in 1992;
Whereas 182 special agents of the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco and Firearms have been killed in the line of duty
since Prohibition; and
Whereas the men and women of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco
and Firearms mourn the loss of their brother officers, but
maintain discipline and a commitment to the protection of our
citizens at the risk of their own lives on a daily basis:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives
concurring), That the sacrifice and dedication of the agents
of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is a
cornerstone of our system of justice and cause for both
sorrow and pride.
When said concurrent resolution was considered and agreed to.
A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said concurrent resolution was

To the Congress of the United States:
In accordance with Section 163 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended
(19 U.S.C. 2213), I am pleased to submit herewith the 1993 Trade Policy
Agenda and 1992 Annual Report on the Trade Agreements Program.
In recent days, I have emphasized the central role that international
trade must play in promoting the economic growth of our country. The
attached agenda outlines the tasks that lie before us in the area of
trade.
The breadth of the agenda highlights the scope of the challenge we
confront, but also the great potential for creating new jobs for
Americans. From manufacturing to services, from entertainment products
to agriculture, opportunities for U.S. exports exist around the globe.
In tandem with the Congress, I will work to ensure that all Americans
with a competitive product have the opportunity to tap the global
marketplace.

Whole House on the State of the Union for consideration of
the bill (H.R. 4) to amend the Public Health Service Act to
revise and extend the programs of the National Institutions
of Health, 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
2(l)(6) of rule XI 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 Energy and Commerce. 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 Energy and Commerce now
printed in the bill. The committee amendment in the nature of
a substitute shall be considered as read. No amendment to the
committee amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be in
order except those printed in the report of the Committee on
Rules accompanying this resolution. Each amendment may be
offered only in the order printed and by the named proponent
or a designee, shall be considered as read, shall be

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. After passage of H.R. 4, it shall be in order
to take from the Speaker's table the bill S. 1 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. 4 as passed by the House. 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 amendment to S. 1
and request a conference with the Senate thereon.
When said resolution was considered.
After debate,

Secretary shall, with respect to research under subsection
(a), issue final regulations establishing criteria for
procedures to be used for human fetal tissue that accord to

cadaveric human tissues entitled to respect.
``(2) Use of federal funds.--
``(A) Subject to subparagraph (B), the Secretary shall
issue regulations specifying the purposes for which Federal
funds may be expended in research carried out under

``(g) Periodic Determinations Regarding Timing of
Donation.--
``(1) In general.--In the case of human fetal tissue
available pursuant to induced abortions, the Secretary,
subject to paragraph (2), shall make periodic determinations
of the feasibility, with respect to research under subsection
(a), of deferring until after the abortions any discussion
with women of whether the women will donate tissue for such
research.
``(2) Reports.--Not later than 1 year after the date of the
enactment of the National Institutes of Health Revitalization
Act of 1993, and every year thereafter, the Secretary shall
make a determination described in paragraph (1) and submit to

Para. 25.4 minority employee resignation
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MURTHA, laid before the House a
communication, which was read as follows:
House of Representatives,
Washington, DC, March 1, 1993.
Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
Speaker, House of Representatives, The Capitol.
Dear Mr. Speaker: I have had a great privilege that very
few in America have experienced and that is serving as a
member of the Staff of the House of Representatives for some
44 years. It has been an experience that I shall remember to
the end of my time. The friendships I have developed with
you, with my own Leader, Bob Michel, and so many others over
these years has been a very rare privilege.
But now with the years passing by more rapidly I have
determined that I should spend more of my remaining time with
my long suffering and devoted wife, my seven children and
nine grandchildren. I shall continue to remain active
participating in my son's law firm but at a pace one can have
the opportunity to stop and smell the roses.
I, therefore, submit my resignation effective the end of
business on March 15, 1993. I thank you, my Leader and all
the Members for making my life a Camelot come true.
Respectfully,
Walter P. Kennedy.

SEC. 5. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING TAX REVENUES AND DEFICIT
REDUCTION.
It is the Sense of Congress that any legislation enacting
tax increases called for in this Budget Resolution contain
language providing that the next revenues generated by the
legislation shall not be counted for
[[Page 237]]
the purpose of calculating the amount of any deficit increase
called for in Section 252(b) of the Balanced Budget and
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 as amended by the
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990.
SEC. 6. SPECIAL PROCEDURES.
Pursuant to section 301(b)(4) of the Congressional Budget
Act of 1974, as amended, the appropriate committees of the
Congress are hereby instructed to report to their respective
Houses, not later than May 1, 1993, for the purposes of
implementing and enforcing the reductions in spending and
deficits as provided for by this resolution, and to be
effective for the fiscal years covered by this resolution,
the following:
(a) a constitutional amendment requiring a balanced budget;
(b) legislation giving the President enhanced rescission,
line-item veto authority subject to disapproval only by the
enactment of a joint resolution of the Congress; and
(c) legislation establishing Maximum Deficit Amounts
identical to those contained in this resolution and
procedures for triggering sequestration when actual deficits
exceed such amounts.
SEC. 7. TAXPAYER DEBT BUY-DOWN.
In order to reduce the deficit in fiscal years 1994 through
1998 by avoiding the debt service cost that attend the public
debt by retiring portions of that debt and further reducing
the deficit by providing the public with an opportunity to
get dollar-for-dollar deficit reduction for each dollar
contributed to debt retirement--
(1) the Committee on Ways and Means shall submit
recommendations by August 1, 1993, to the House of
Representatives--
(A) proposing changes in law to allow taxpayers to
designate up to 10% of their income tax liability to reduce
the public debt; and
(B) establishing a public debt reduction trust fund in the
Treasury of the United States to receive those designated
funds to buy back the public debt; and
(2) the Committee on Government Operations shall submit
recommendations by August 1, 1993, to the House of
Representatives proposing changes in law--
(A) providing automatic annual sequestrations (except
social security, interest on the public debt, and deposit
insurance) equal to the estimated aggregate amount of money
deposited in the public debt reduction trust fund; and
(B) providing Congress with the authority to propose
reductions in spending to avoid any across-the-board annual
sequestration referred to in subparagraph (A).

requested for the minor, and 48 hours elapses after the
notification is so provided; and

case the 48 hours is measured from the time of so delivering
the notification, or (II) the notification is provided
through certified mail, with return receipt requested, and

guardian at the dwelling house or usual place of abode of the
parent or guardian, in which case the 48 hours is measured

of the minor; and

authorities specified by the law of the State involved to
receive reports or allegations regarding the applicable
offense specified in clause (i).
``(D) The entity complies with a State or local law that--

``(ii) provides the requirement that a parent or legal
guardian be notified before an abortion is performed on an
unemancipated minor under the age of 18 (or a requirement
that both parents be so notified), or provides the
requirement that a parent or legal guardian give consent
before an abortion is performed on such a minor (or a
requirement that both parents give such consent); and
``(iii) either contains no provision waiving a requirement
described in clause (ii), or provides a waiver of the
requirement only for one or more of the following
circumstances:
``(I) A court determines that the requirement should be
waived.
``(II) A physician determines that the minor is suffering
from a physical disorder or disease that makes the abortion
necessary to prevent her death, and that there is
insufficient time to comply with the requirement.
``(III) The pregnancy resulted from incest.
``(IV) The minor has been subjected to or is at risk of
sexual abuse by a parent or legal guardian.
``(V) The minor has been subjected to or is at risk of
child abuse by a parent or legal guardian.
``(VI) The minor has been subjected to or is at risk of
child neglect by a parent or legal guardian.

with the principal responsibility for making the decision to
perform the abortion involved.
``(B) Each of the following terms has the meaning given the
term under the law of the State involved: (i) `Child abuse'.
(ii) `Child neglect'. (iii) `Incest'. (iv) `Legal guardian'
(with respect to a child). (v) `Sexual abuse'. (vi)
`Unemancipated minor'.
``(C) Each of the following terms has the meaning given the
term under rule 4 of the Federal rules of civil procedure for
the United States district courts: (i) `Dwelling house'. (ii)
`Usual place of abode'.
``(D) The term `State involved' means the State of the
location of the facility from which an abortion for the minor
involved is sought.''.

Para. 33.24 condemn malta for releasing terrorist
Mr. LANTOS moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following
resolution (H. Res. 118); as amended:
Whereas on November 23, 1985, terrorists hijacked Egypt Air
flight 648 and diverted it to Malta;
Whereas during the hijacking, 60 people were killed,
including citizens of 12 countries;
Whereas one of those killed by the terrorists was Scarlett
Rogenkamp of Oceanside, California, who was one of 5 women
passengers, including 3 United States citizens, who were shot
in the head;
Whereas after investigations, Mohammed Ali Rezaq, a
suspected member of the Abu Nidal Organization, was tried and
convicted in Malta on a variety of charges related to the
hijacking, including the willful homicide of Scarlett
Rogenkamp and others, and he was sentenced to a prison term
of 25 years;
Whereas the Government of Malta assured the United States
Government in September 1992 that Rezaq would remain in
prison until 1996;
Whereas the United States Government immediately began
exploring grounds for further prosecution of Rezaq upon his
release in 1996;
Whereas the United States Government learned in February
1993 that the Government of Malta had, without notice to the
United States and other interested parties, reduced Rezaq's
sentence and planned to release him that month;
Whereas the United States Government and the governments of
other countries whose citizens were killed in the hijacking
of Egypt Air flight 648 repeatedly urged the Government of
Malta to retain Rezaq in custody or make arrangements for him
to be tried elsewhere;
Whereas on February 12, 1993, because of concern that Rezaq
could be released, the United States District Court for the
District of Columbia issued an arrest warrant for Rezaq, and
this warrant was provided to the Government of Malta in the
hope that the Government of Malta would continue to detain
him;
Whereas the Government of Malta brushed aside the requests
that had been made by the governments of the United States
and other countries and allowed Rezaq to fly to another
country on short notice; and
Whereas these actions by the Government of Malta undermine
the efforts to deter international terrorists by letting them
go free without serving their sentences commensurate with
their crimes: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved,'' That the House of Representatives--
(1) strongly condemns the release by the Government of
Malta of convicted terrorist Mohammed Ali Rezaq;
(2) believes such action seriously undermines the efforts
to foster good relations between Malta and the United States
and undermines the international and United States efforts to
discourage and deter international terrorism;
(3) urges all governments to cooperate in transferring
Rezaq either to the United States or to another concerned
country in order that he may face additional criminal charges
for his involvement in the Egypt Air hijacking and the murder
of innocent civilians;
(4) urges all governments to abide by the rule of law and
not provide safe haven to terrorists in order that terrorism
will be met with the full force of justice and that
terrorists will not escape being held accountable; and
(5) urges that President to review the United States
relationship with Malta, including foreign assistance and
economic relations.
Sec. 2. The Clerk of the House of Representatives shall
transmit a copy of this resolution to the Secretary of State
with a request that the Secretary transmit a copy of this
resolution to the Government of Malta.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, recognized Mr. LANTOS and Mr.

(5) adopt as part of this concurrent resolution such of the

SEC. 13. SENSE OF THE SENATE PROVISIONS.
The following subsections are set forth as the sense of the
Senate:
(a) Assumptions.--The levels and amounts set forth in this
resolution are based on the following assumptions:
(1) Revenues.--(A) There shall not be an increase in inland
barge fuel taxes beyond those increases already scheduled in
current law.
(B) The Finance Committee will make every effort to find
alternative sources of revenues before imposing new taxes on
the benefits of Social Security beneficiaries with threshold
incomes (for purposes of the taxation of Social Security
benefits) of less than $32,000 for individuals and $40,000
for married couples filing joint returns.
(C) Consistent with the position of the Administration, the
BTU tax will be imposed at the same rate on all fuels
purchased by households for home heating purposes, and
therefore the supplemental tax on oil will not be imposed on
such fuels.
(D) Any energy tax enacted during the One Hundred Third
Congress should provide such relief to the agriculture
industry as is necessary to ensure that the industry does not
absorb a disproportionate impact of that tax.
(2) National defense (function 050).--(A) If the estimates
for inflation for fiscal years 1994 through 1998 used in the
President's fiscal year 1994 budget request and this
concurrent resolution are too low, the amounts for budget
authority and outlays for the National Defense (050) and
other budget functions should be increased to offset the
adverse effects of the higher inflation.
(B) If Congress does not enact legislation freezing Federal
pay levels for fiscal year 1994 and reducing the rates of
increase in Federal pay levels for fiscal years 1995 through
1997, as assumed for the President's fiscal year 1994 budget
request and this concurrent resolution, there should be
appropriate increases in the amounts of budget authority and
outlays for the National Defense (050) and other budget
functions in this concurrent resolution to allow the
departments and agencies of the Federal Government to meet
the resulting increases in costs for pay.
(C) Appropriations for fiscal year 1994 for the programs,
projects, activities, and authorities under budget functional
category 050 (National Defense) should be made at the levels
of budget authority and outlays that are provided for in this
concurrent resolution for such functional category for such
fiscal year.
(D) If the appropriations for fiscal year 1994 for such
programs, projects, activities, and authorities are less than
the levels of budget authority and outlays that are provided
for in this concurrent resolution for such functional
category for such fiscal year, the savings resulting from the
lesser levels of appropriations should be used only for
reducing the deficit in the budget of the United States.
(E) The Congress should promptly reconsider the amounts
determined and declared by the Congress in this resolution to
be the appropriate levels of new budget authority, outlays,
new direct loan obligations, and new primary loan guarantee
commitments for fiscal years 1994 through 1998 for the
National Defense (050) functional category, in the event of
material change in situations affecting the security
interests of the United States.
(3) General science, space, and technology (function
250).--The budget authority and outlay figures for function
250 in this resolution do not assume any amounts for the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration for any fiscal
year from 1994 through 1998 in excess of the amounts proposed
by the President for such fiscal year.
(4) Natural resources and environment (function 300).-- (A)
Fees charged for domestic livestock grazing on lands under
the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Agriculture and the
Secretary of the Interior in western States should be set at
an amount that permits the ranching industry to remain viable
and reflects the economic realities of the industry, rather
than at an amount that meets arbitrary revenue targets.
(B) Royalty fees charged for hardrock mining should be set
at an amount that permits the mining industry to remain
viable in the United States and reflects the economic
realities of the industry, rather than at an amount that

any plan to reform the United States health care system.

due to increasing Federal health care costs, and these costs
are assumed in the levels set forth in this resolution.
(C) Health care reform is essential to curb the escalating

should be augmented by further savings in Federal health
outlays as a part of comprehensive health care reform which

American economy, and reduce the deficit levels set forth in

allocation shall be equally distributed between the so-called
``supply side'' (interdiction, law enforcement, and
international supply reduction efforts) and the so-called
``demand side'' (education, rehabilitation, treatment, and
research programs).
(b) Debt Limit in Reconciliation.--(1) Any concurrent
resolution on the budget that contains reconciliation
directives shall include a directive with respect to the
statutory limit on the public debt.

that is recommended pursuant to a reconciliation directive
shall be included in the reconciliation legislation reported

(3) Except as provided in paragraph (4), the Senate shall

agreed to under section 301 of the Congressional Budget Act
of 1974.
(4) The prohibition of paragraph (3) shall not apply to a

(2) ensure that any revenues deposited in such account
would not be available for appropriation; and
(3) provide that any such revenues deposited in such
account would be used to retire outstanding debt obligations
of the United States Government.
(d) Line-Item Veto Authority Including Appropriations and
Tax Expenditures.--The President should be granted line-item
veto authority over items of appropriation and tax
expenditures and that line-item veto authority should expire
at the conclusion of the One Hundred Third Congress.
(e) Use of Savings From Government Streamlining.--Any
amounts saved through the efforts of the National Performance
Review Task Force headed by the Vice President and as a
result of any other reorganization and streamlining of the
Federal Government should be applied to offset the cost of
any economic stimulus package enacted in fiscal year 1993,
and any amounts saved in excess of those necessary to offset
the cost of any such economic stimulus should be applied to
reduce the Federal budget deficit and for no other purpose.

Ordered, That the Clerk request the concurrence of the Senate therein.
Para. 36.25 communication from the clerk--message from the president
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MURTHA, laid before the House a
communication, which was read as follows:
Washington, DC,
April 1, 1993.
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 8:00 p.m. on
Thursday, April 1, 1993, said to contain a message from the
President whereby he transmits the ``Comprehensive Child
Immunization Act of 1993''.
With great respect, I am
Sincerely yours,
Donnald K. Anderson,
Clerk, House of Representatives.
Para. 36.26 comprehensive child immunization
The Clerk then read the message from the President, as follows:
To the Congress of the United States:
I am pleased to transmit for your immediate consideration and
enactment the ``Comprehensive Child Immunization Act of 1993''. Also
transmitted is a section-by-section analysis.
This legislation launches a new partnership among parents and
guardians; health care providers; vaccine manufacturers; and Federal,
State, and local governments to protect our Nation's children from the
deadly onslaught of infectious diseases. The legislation is a
comprehensive initiative to remove existing barriers to immunization. It
will ensure that all children in the United States are immunized against
vaccine-preventable diseases by their second birthday. Because of the
importance of this initiative to the health of our children, I am
transmitting this legislation in advance of my proposal for
comprehensive reform of the Nation's health care system, which I expect
to submit to the Congress in May.
Beginning in fiscal year 1995, the bill would authorize the Secretary
of Health and Human Services to purchase and provide childhood vaccines
in quantities sufficient to meet the immunization needs of children in
the United States. It would also institute a national immunization
tracking system through grants to the States to establish State
immunization registries. In addition, the bill contains provisions to
ensure that the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, an
essential link in our Nation's immunization system, remains operational.
Funding for the program of vaccine purchase and distribution will be
identified in my legislation for broad-based reform of the national
health care system and made available beginning in fiscal year 1995 from
the Comprehensive Child Immunization Account in the United States
Treasury.
Immunizations are cost-effective. For example, the measles vaccine
saves over $10 in health care costs for every $1 invested in prevention.
We know that children are most vulnerable before their second birthday
and that approximately 80 percent of vaccine doses should be given
before then. Many children, however, do not receive even their basic
immunizations by that age. We must remove the financial barriers to
immunization that impede children from being vaccinated on time, and
facilitate development of a national tracking system to ensure children
are immunized at the earliest appropriate age.
The problem posed by soaring vaccine costs is exacerbated by a
deteriorating immunization infrastructure. This legislation continues
the rebuilding of our capacity to deliver vaccines and educate parents
started in my economic stimulus package.
This proposal would direct the Secretary to purchase and provide
vaccine without charge to health care providers who serve children and
are located in a State that participates in the State registry grant
program. In nonparticipating States, free vaccine would be distributed
to Federal health care centers and providers, including those serving
Indian populations. Health care providers could not charge patients for
the cost of the vaccine. They could, however, impose a fee for its
administration, unless such a fee would result in the denial of vaccine
to someone unable to pay. The authority of the Secretary established
under this legislation, to purchase and provide vaccines, shall cease
to be in effect beginning on such date as may be specified in a Federal
law providing for immunization services for all children as part of a
broad-based reform of the national health care system.
In addition, the bill would provide for a collaborative Federal and
State effort to track the immunization status of the Nation's children.
It would authorize the Secretary to make grants to States to establish
and operate State immunization registries containing specific
information for each child in the State. Entering infant birth and
immunization data into registries will enable identification of
children who need vaccinations and will help parents and providers
ensure that children are appropriately immunized.
A keystone of the Nation's vaccine immunization effort is the
National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. This legislation would
authorize payments from the Vaccine Injury Compensation Trust Fund for
compensable injuries from vaccines administered on or after October 1,
1992, and would reinstate and permanently extend the vaccine excise
tax.
I urge the Congress to take prompt and favorable action on this
legislation.
William J. Clinton.
The White House, April 1, 1993.

Para. 40.5 message from the president--budget of the u.s. government
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MONTGOMERY, laid before the House a
message from the President, which was read as follows:
To the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the
Senate:
I have the honor to transmit to you the Budget of the United States
Government for Fiscal Year 1994.
In my February 17th address to the Congress, and in the report, A
Vision of Change for America, that followed the address, I outlined the
basic elements of the plan that forms the basis of this budget. The plan
has three key elements: economic stimulus to create
[[Page 322]]
jobs now and lay the foundation for long-term economic growth; long-term
public investments to increase the productivity of American workers and
businesses; and fair, balanced, and equitable deficit reduction measures
to stop government deficits from preempting the private investments
needed to create jobs and raise living standards.
The plan flows from the demand of the American people for change and
my vision of what America can be if we embark upon an economic strategy
of investing in people and putting people first. Achieving this change
will not be easy, but the cost of not changing is far greater. To ensure
that our children's generation is not the first generation of Americans
to do worse in life than their parents, we must restore the American
dream.
This budget extends the elements of the plan into each department and
agency of the Federal Government and proposes appropriations language
and other required information for the Congress to place the plan fully
into effect. Enactment of the proposals in this budget will bring the
vision that underlies my plan--a vision of a brighter, more prosperous
future for America--a step closer to reality.
Although powerful special interests that profit from the status quo
may oppose the plan, the American people have demanded change, and it is
our responsibility as their elected servants to answer their call and
take the action they demand.
I am gratified by and grateful for the support this program has
received in the Congress thus far. However, much remains to be done.
Therefore, I ask for your continued support and help. Together, we can
get the American economy moving again, bring Federal finances back to a
sound footing, and restore hope in the hearts of the American people.
William J. Clinton.

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

The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MONTGOMERY, laid before the House a
communication, which was read as follows:
Washington, DC,
April 22, 1993.
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 7:04 p.m. on
Wednesday, April 21, 1993, said to contain a message from the
President whereby he transmits proposed legislation entitled,
``Goals 2000: Educate America Act.''
With great respect, I am
Sincerely yours,
Donnald K. Anderson,
Clerk, House of Representatives.
Para. 43.16 goals 2000: educate america 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 ``Goals 2000: Educate America Act.''
This legislation strives to support States, local communities,
schools, business and industry, and labor in reinventing our education
system so that all Americans can reach internationally competitive
standards, and our Nation can reach the National Education Goals. Also
transmitted is a section-by-section analysis.
Education is and always has been primarily a State responsibility.
States have always been the ``laboratories of democracy.'' This has been
especially true in education over the past decades. The lessons we have
learned from the collective work of States, local education agencies,
and individual schools are incorporated in Goals 2000 and provide the
basis for a new partnership between the Federal Government, States,
parents, business, labor, schools, communities, and students. This new
partnership is not one of mandates, but of cooperation and leadership.
The ``Goals 2000: Educate America Act'' is designed to promote a long-
term direction for the improvement of education and lifelong learning
and to provide a framework and resources to help States and others
interested in education strengthen, accelerate, and sustain their own
improvement efforts. Goals 2000 will:
--Set into law the six National Education Goals and establish a
bipartisan National Education Goals Panel to report on progress
toward achieving the goals;
--Develop voluntary academic standards and assessments that are
meaningful, challenging, and appropriate for all students through
the National Education Standards and Improvement Council;
--Identify the conditions of learning and teaching necessary to ensure
that all students have the opportunity to meet high standards;
--Establish a National Skill Standards Board to promote the
development and adoption of occupational standards to ensure that
American workers are among the best trained in the world;
--Help States and local communities involve public officials,
teachers, parents, students, and business leaders in designing and
reforming schools; and
--Increase flexibility for States and school districts by waiving
regulations and other requirements that might impede reforms.
[[Page 341]]
Though voluntary, the pursuant to these goals must be the work of our
Nation as a whole. Ten years ago this month, A Nation At Risk was
released. Its warnings still ring true. It is time to act boldly. It is
time to rekindle the dream that good schools offer.
I urge the Congress to take prompt and favorable action on this
legislation.
William J. Clinton.

and for other purposes.
Para. 44.5 message from the president--national emergency with respect
to yugoslavia
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MONTGOMERY, 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), President Bush reported to
the Congress by letters to the President of the Senate and the Speaker
of the House, dated May 30, 1992, that he had exercised his statutory
authority to issue Executive Order No. 12808 of May 30, 1992, declaring
a national emergency and blocking ``Yugoslav Government'' property and
property of the Governments of Serbia and Montenegro.
On June 5, 1992, pursuant to the above authorities as well as section
1114 of the Federal Aviation Act (49 U.S.C. App. 1514), and section 5 of
the United Nations Participation Act (22 U.S.C. 287c), the President
reported to the Congress by letters to the President of the Senate and
the Speaker of the House that he had exercised his statutory authority
to issue Executive Order No. 12810 of June 5, 1992, blocking property of
and prohibiting transactions with the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
(Serbia and Montenegro). This latter action was taken to ensure that the
economic measures taken by the United States with respect to the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) conform to U.N. Security
Council Resolution No. 757 (May 30, 1992).
On January 19, 1993, pursuant to the above authorities, President Bush
reported to the Congress by letters to the President of the Senate and
the Speaker of the House that he had exercised his statutory authority
to issue Executive Order No. 12831 of January 15, 1993, to impose
additional economic measures with respect to the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) to conform to U.N. Security Council
Resolution No. 787 (November 16, 1992). Those additional measures
prohibited transactions related to transshipments through the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro), as well as transactions
related to vessels owned or controlled by persons or entities in the
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro).
On April 17, 1993, the U.N. Security Council adopted Resolution No.
820, calling on the Bosnian Serbs to accept the Vance-Owen peace plan
for Bosnia-Hercegovina and, if they failed to do so by April 26,
calling on member states to take additional measures to tighten the
embargo against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and
Montenegro). Effective 12:01 a.m. EDT on April 26, 1993, I have taken
additional steps pursuant to the above statutory authorities to enhance
the implementation of this international embargo and to conform to U.N.
Security Council Resolution No. 820 (April 17, 1993).
The order that I signed on April 25, 1993:
--blocks all property of businesses organized or located in the
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia or Montenegro), including
the property of entities owned or controlled by them, wherever
organized or located, if that property is in or later comes within
the United States or the possession or control of U.S. persons,
including their overseas branches;
--charges to the owners or operators of property blocked under that
order or Executive Order No. 12808, 12810, or 12831 all expenses
incident to the blocking and maintenance of such property, requires
that such expenses be satisfied from sources other than blocked
funds, and permits such property to be sold and
[[Page 345]]
the proceeds (after payment of expenses) placed in a blocked
account;
--orders (1) the detention, pending investigation, of all nonblocked
vessels, aircraft, freight vehicles, rolling stock, and cargo
within the United States that are suspected of violating U.N.
Security Council Resolution No. 713, 757, 787 or 820, and (2) the
blocking of such conveyances or cargo if a violation is determined
to have been committed, and permits the sale of such blocked
conveyances or cargo and the placing of the net proceeds into a
blocked account;
--prohibits any vessel registered in the United States, or owned or
controlled by U.S. persons, other than a United States naval
vessel, from entering the territorial waters of the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro); and
--prohibits U.S. persons from engaging in any dealings relating to
the shipment of goods to, from, or through United Nations Protected
Areas in the Republic of Croatia and areas in the Republic of
Bosnia-Hercegovina under the control of Bosnian Serb forces.
The order that I signed on April 25, 1993, authorizes the Secretary
of the Treasury in consultation with the Secretary of State to take
such actions, and to employ all powers granted to me by the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the United Nations
Participation Act, as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of
that order, including the issuance of licenses authorizing transactions
otherwise prohibited. The sanctions imposed in the order apply
notwithstanding any preexisting contracts, international agreements,
licenses or authorizations. However, licenses or authorizations
previously issued pursuant to Executive Order No. 12808, 12810, or
12831 are not invalidated by the order unless they are terminated,
suspended or modified by action of the issuing federal agency.
The declaration of the national emergency made by Executive Order No.
12808 and the controls imposed under Executive Orders No. 12810 and
12831, and any other provisions of those orders not modified by or
inconsistent with the April 25, 1993, order, remain in full force and
are unaffected by that order.
William J. Clinton.
The White House, April 26, 1993.
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. 103-77).

Para. 45.7 message from the president--export controls
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mrs. SCHROEDER, 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, President Bush
de-
[[Page 347]]
clared 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, the President 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.), 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. President Bush issued Executive Order No. 12730 pursuant to the
authority vested in him 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, the President 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, 1992, to March 31, 1993, 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 the last report to the Congress, there have been several
significant developments in the area of export controls:
--United States Government experts have continued their efforts to
implement and strengthen export control systems, including pre-
license inspections and post-shipment verifications, in the nations
of Central Europe and the former Soviet Union--notably Belarus,
Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Poland, Romania,
Russia, the Slovak Republic, and Ukraine, as they continue their
progress towards democracy and market economies. We anticipate that
these developments will facilitate enhanced trade in high-technology
items and other commodities in the region, while helping to prevent
unauthorized shipments or uses of such items. A key element of these
efforts continues to be the prevention of proliferation of weapons
of mass destruction and corresponding technology.
--Working diligently with our Coordinating Committee (COCOM) partners
to expand export control cooperation with the newly developing
democracies of Central Europe and the former Soviet Union and to
streamline multilateral national security controls, we are pleased
to report the following important developments:
--In their November 1992 High-Level Meeting, the COCOM partners took
action to significantly liberalize export controls on certain
telecommunications exports to the newly independent states (NIS) of
the former Soviet Union and other Central European nations, which
should facilitate rapid and reliable telecommunications between
these nations and the West, as well as modern, cost-effective
domestic telecommunications systems. This action was soon thereafter
reflected in corresponding amendments to the Export Administration
Regulation. (57 F.R. 61259, December 24, 1992.)
--Also in November, at the first High-Level ``COCOM Cooperation
Forum'' (CCF) Meeting, which included the 17 members of COCOM, most
of the newly independent states of the former Soviet Union (NIS),
and other Central European nations, the United States announced an
$11 million technical assistance package to assist in the
elimination of nuclear arms, enhanced nonproliferation efforts, and
export control development. The United States, in cooperation with
the CCF, hopes to engage these nations in further establishing
controls for trade in sensitive goods and technologies, and to
provide an impetus for wider access by those countries to
controlled items.
--In the first 2 months of 1993, as a result of Bulgarian and
Romanian commitments to undertake the establishment of effective
export control systems, COCOM agreed to provide favorable
consideration treatment for exports of strategic items to those
countries. The Commerce Department is amending its regulations to
reflect this development.
--We are also 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 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;
--As of December 1992, the Australia Group (AG), a consortium of
nations that seeks to prevent the proliferation of chemical and
biological weapons (CBW), increased its membership to 24, with the
admission of Iceland and Sweden in 1991 and Argentina and Hungary
in 1992. In addition, the delegates agreed to increase from 50 to
54 the number of precursor chemicals subject to control and to
adopt a common list of controlled biological items. The Commerce
Department published a rule implementing these measures. (57 F.R.
60122, December 18, 1992.) As of December 1992, the delegates also
agreed to a refined common control list of dual-use biological
equipment. The Commerce Department is in the process of publishing
a rule reflecting the changes to conform the U.S. list to the AG
list.
--The United States was also a key participant in the Chemical
Weapons Convention (CWC) negotiations in Geneva, Switzerland. On
September 3, 1992, the Conference on Disarmament, which drafted the
CWC, forwarded to the United Nations General Assembly a draft CWC,
which includes a prohibition on the development, production,
acquisition, stockpiling, use, or transfer of chemical weapons, as
well as provides for destruction of chemical weapons production
facilities and stockpiles. The Convention opened for signing in
January of this year. The United States strongly supports these
provisions and is working to implement them in harmony with our
laws.
--In December 1992, the 27-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), in
which the United States participates, continued its discussions on
nuclear-related dual-use controls. The NSG list is 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. Also in December 1992, the NSG
members agreed to procedures intended to standardize and improve
the exchange of information among members.
--At the March plenary session in Canberra, the Missile Technology
Control Regime (MTCR) members welcomed Iceland as the newest
partner, bringing the total membership to 23 nations. Argentina and
Hungary were also accepted as members, subject to final
arrangements agreed to by the MTCR partners. A licensing and
enforcement officers conference will be held in June 1993 to
provide an information exchange forum for all partners on
implementation of the new extended Guidelines, which now cover
missiles capable of delivering all weapons of mass destruction.
Pre-
[[Page 348]]
viously, the regime covered only missiles capable of delivering nuclear
weapons. The future of the MTCR is likely to be a main agenda item for
the next plenary session to be held in November 1993.
--In the area of supercomputers, in 1991 the United States
established a supercomputer safeguard regime with Japan. Since that
time both countries have negotiated with European suppliers to
expand this regime. Issues discussed at the March 1993 London
meeting include the development of a common licensing policy and
security safeguards.
--Finally, 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 practice 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 further
continued its well-received Business Executive Enforcement Team
(BEET) to enhance interaction between the regulators and the
regulated.
--During this 6-month reporting period, OEE has continued its new
program--the Strategic and Nonproliferation Enforcement Program
(SNEP)--which targets critical enforcement resources on exports to
countries of concern in the Middle East and elsewhere.
--Two particularly important enforcement efforts during the past 6
months in which OEE was involved resulted in the arrest and
indictment of several individuals, including several foreign
nationals. In one case, OEE special agents arrested an Iranian
national, Reza Zandian, and an American citizen, Charles Regar, on
charges that they conspired and attempted to export a computer to
Iran without the required validated license. The computer, valued
in excess of $2 million, was seized by the Commerce Department. The
Department of Justice will seek forfeiture of the computer to the
United States. In another case, a British citizen doing business in
South Africa, David Brownhill, was arrested and charged with
attempting to export polygraph and thermal imaging system equipment
to South Africa without authorization. Both of these cases are
currently pending trial.
--In the last 6 months, the Commerce Department has also continued to
enforce the antiboycott law vigorously. The Office of Antiboycott
Compliance (OAC) maintains 30 full-time staff positions, 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 in fiscal year 1992 approaches
$2,109,000, the second largest amount in the history of the
program. This amount includes a civil penalty of $444,000 imposed
in the first case alleging both antiboycott and export control
violations.
--One particularly significant antiboycott compliance case was
recently concluded by an order of February 11, 1993. Under that
order, William Hardimon was assessed a civil penalty of $54,000,
and his export privileges were denied for 6 months. Hardimon
allegedly refused to do business with another person in order to
comply with an illegal Saudi Arabian requirement, complied with an
illegal Kuwaiti boycott request, and failed to report the receipt
of the boycott requests.
5. The expenses incurred by the Federal Government in the 6-month
period from October 1, 1992, to March 31, 1993, 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 $17,897,000, most of which represents program
operating costs, wage and salary costs for Federal personnel, and
overhead expenses.
William J. Clinton.

and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (as added by section 2)
shall apply to amounts of budget authority provided by
appropriation Acts (as defined in subsection (f) of such
section) that are enacted during the One Hundred Third
Congress.
(b) Special Transition Rule.--Within 3 calendar days after
the beginning of the One Hundred Fourth Congress, the
President may retransmit a special message, in the manner
provided in section 1013(b) of the Congressional Budget and
Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (as added by section 2),
proposing to rescind only those amounts of budget authority
that were contained in any special message to the One Hundred
Third Congress which that Congress failed to consider because
of its sine die adjournment before the close of the time
period set forth in such section 1013 for consideration of
those proposed rescissions. A draft bill shall accompany that
special message that, if enacted, would only rescind that
budget authority. Before the close of the second legislative
day of the House of Representatives after the date of receipt
of that special message, the majority leader or minority
leader of the House of Representatives shall introduce (by
request) the draft bill accompanying that special message. If
the bill is not introduced as provided in the preceding
sentence, then, on the third legislative day of the House of
Representatives after the date of receipt of that special
message, any Member of that House may introduce the bill. The
House of Representatives and the Senate shall proceed to
consider that bill in the manner provided in such section
1013.
SEC. 4. TERMINATION.
The authority provided by section 1013 of the Congressional
Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (as added by
section 2) shall terminate 2 years after the date of
enactment of this Act.
SEC. 5. JUDICIAL REVIEW.
(a) Expedited Review.--
(1) Any Member of Congress may bring an action, in the
United States District Court for the District of Columbia,
for declaratory judgment and injunctive relief on the ground
that any provision of section 1013 (as added by section 2)
violates the Constitution.
(2) A copy of any complaint in an action brought under
paragraph (1) shall be promptly delivered to the Secretary of
the Senate and the Clerk of the House of Representatives, and
each House of Congress shall have the right to intervene in
such action.
(3) Any action brought under paragraph (1) shall be heard
and determined by a three-judge court in accordance with
section 2284 of title 28, United States Code.
Nothing in this section or in any other law shall infringe
upon the right of the House of Representatives to intervene
in an action brought under paragraph (1) without the
necessity of adopting a resolution to authorize such
intervention.
(b) Appeal to Supreme Court.--Notwithstanding any other
provision of law, any order of the United States District
Court for the District of Columbia which is issued pursuant
to an action brought under paragraph (1) of subsection (a)
shall be reviewable by appeal directly to the Supreme Court
of the United States. Any such appeal shall be taken by a
notice of appeal field within 10 days after such order is
entered; and the jurisdictional statement shall be filed
within 30 days after such order is entered. No stay of an
order issued pursuant to an action brought under paragraph
(1) of subsection (a) shall be issued by a single Justice of
the Supreme Court.
(c) Expedited Consideration.--It shall be the duty of the
District Court for the District of Columbia and the Supreme

(3) discriminatory and unfair registration laws and
procedures can have a direct and damaging effect on voter
participation in elections for Federal office and
disproportionately harm voter participation by various
groups, including racial minorities.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
(1) to establish procedures that will increase the number
of eligible citizens who register to vote in elections for
Federal office;
(2) to make it possible for Federal, State, and local
governments to implement this Act in a manner that enhances
the participation of eligible citizens as voters in elections
for Federal office;
(3) to protect the integrity of the electoral process; and
(4) to ensure that accurate and current voter registration
rolls are maintained.

any personal identification document issued by a State motor

Para. 50.19 message from the president--national service and student aid
reform
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Ms. BROWN, 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 ``National Service Trust Act of 1993'' and the ``Student
Loan Reform Act of 1993.'' These Acts represent innovative public policy
founded on traditional American values: offering educational
opportunity, rewarding personal responsibility, and building the
American community. In affirming these values, the Acts reject wasteful
bureaucracy--instead reinventing government to unleash the ideas and
initiative of the American people. Also transmitted is a section-by-
section analysis.
Throughout the Presidential campaign last year, Americans of all
backgrounds and political persuasions responded to national service like
few other ideas. The reasons are clear. Higher education is fundamental
to the American Dream, but complex procedures and inflexible repayment
plans have created serious problems for many students with education
loans to pay back. Defaults are too high today--and taxpayers are left
to foot the bill. Americans are yearning to reaffirm an American
community that transcends race, region, or religion--and to tackle the
problems that threaten our shared future.
The two Acts are designed to meet these basic American needs. The
National Service Trust Act of 1993 establishes a domestic Peace Corps,
offering hundreds of thousands of young people the opportunity to pay
for school by doing work our country needs. The Student Loan Reform Act
of 1993 overhauls the student loan system. Through a one-stop direct
student loan program, the Act will save taxpayers billions of dollars,
lower interest rates for students, and simplify the financial aid
system. And through new EXCEL Accounts and other repayment options, the
Act will offer borrowers greater choice and lower monthly payments while
reducing the chance of defaults.
The National Service Trust Act of 1993 establishes a definition of
national service that is clear but broad. National service is work that
addresses unmet educational, environmental, human, or public safety
needs. It enriches the lives of those who serve, instilling the ethic of
civic responsibility that is essential to our democracy. And national
service does not displace or duplicate the functions of existing
workers.
Building on the National and Community Service Act of 1990 and the
flourishing community service programs of nonprofit organizations and
States, the initiative rejects bureaucracy in favor of locally driven
programs. In the spirit of reinventing government, the Act will empower
those with the greatest expertise and incentives to make national
service work.
The Act enables citizens of all backgrounds to serve and use their
educational awards where they see fit. While many participants will be
recent college graduates, Americans will be eligible to enter the
program at any time in their adult lives. Both full-time and part-time
service will be encouraged. And whatever their educational level, those
who complete a term of service will receive an award of $5,000. The
award will be payable toward past, present, or future educational
expenses in 4- and 2-year colleges, training programs, and graduate and
professional schools.
The Act demands that programs meet tough guidelines for excellence and
requires measurable performance goals and independent evaluations.
Within these limits, however, the Act enables the people who run
programs to design them. The smallest community-based organizations and
largest Federal agencies will be able to compete for funding. A variety
of program models will be eligible, ranging from youth corps that enable
at-risk youth to meet community needs, to preprofessional programs that
give college students ROTC-like training and then placements in specific
problem areas, to diverse community corps that involve Americans of all
backgrounds in meeting common goals.
With the economic market as a model, there is competition at every
level of the system: programs compete for State approval, States
compete for Federal approval, and programs at the national level
compete against each other and States for Federal approval. To build
public/private partnerships that earn support far beyond government,
the Act requires programs to make a cash match and to increase
nongovernment support as time passes.
The Act is designed to reduce waste and promote an entrepreneurial
government culture. The Act establishes a new Government Corporation
for National Service that combines two existing independent agencies,
the Commission on National and Community Service and ACTION. With
flexible personnel policies and a small, bipartisan Board sharing power
with a Chairperson, the Corporation will operate as much like a lean
nonprofit corporation as a Government agency.
The State level will mirror the Federal level and build a strong
partnership between the two. Bipartisan State commissions on national
service will be responsible for selecting programs to be funded by
States. To ensure genuine Federal/State cooperation, a representative
of the Corporation will sit on State commissions and a representative
of the States on the Corporation Board.
The National Service Trust Act of 1993 encourages Americans to join
together and serve our country--at all ages and in all forms. The Act
enhances the Serve-America program for school-age youth; extends and
improves the VISTA and Older Americans Volunteer Programs authorized
under the Domestic Volunteer Service Act; supports the Civilian
Community Corps and Points of Light Foundation; and pulls these efforts
under the new Corporation. The Act will help instill an ethic of
service in elementary and secondary school students, encourage them to
serve in their college years, and give them further opportunities later
in their lives.
The Student Loan Reform Act of 1993 will take an important first step
toward comprehensive reform of the student loan system. It saves money,
makes loan repayment more affordable, and holds students more
accountable. The measures in no way replace the Pell Grant program,
which will remain the cornerstone of financial aid for millions of
students.
The Student Loan Reform Act of 1993 replaces the current Federal
Family Education Loan program with the Federal Direct Student Loan
Program over a 4-year period. By eliminating subsidies to private
lenders and making loans directly to students, direct lending will save
taxpayers $4.3 billion through Fiscal Year 1998 and still allow
interest rates to drop for student borrowers. Many schools will make
loans directly to students on campus, though none will be forced to do
so. In addition, no institution will service or collect loans. This
reform simplifies the system for many students, enabling most to
receive all their aid through ``one-stop shopping'' at their
institutions' financial aid offices.
The lending reform expands choice and reduces burdens for all student
borrowers by offering a variety of repayment plans--including fixed,
extended, graduated, and income-contin-
[[Page 383]]
gent schedules. In the same way that multiple financing options help
homeowners, these plans offer real choice to all and lower monthly
payments to those who want them. Income-contingent repayments--through
the new EXCEL Accounts--also encourage service by students who do not
participate in service under the National Service Trust Act. With more
manageable monthly payments, more students will be able to take jobs
that pay less but do more for their communities, without risking
default. And whatever plan they first choose, students will be able to
change their repayment schedule as their circumstances change.
The Student Loan Reform Act of 1993 will also reduce default rates.
By electing income-contingent repayment schedules, students with lower
incomes will be able to repay their loans on a manageable plan, without
defaulting. Through cooperation with the IRS, the Act will improve
collection and monitoring of student loans. And for those who are able
to pay but do not, the Act will give the Secretary of Education
authority to require payment on an income-contingent basis.
Opportunity, responsibility, and community go beyond politics. They
are basic American ideals. Enactment of these two Acts will express the
Nations's commitment to these ideals and to our shared future. I urge
the Congress to give the legislation prompt and favorable
consideration.

When Mr. OBEY, Acting Chairman, reported that during the consideration
of said bill in Committee, certain words used in debate were objected to
and upon request, were read at the Clerk's desk.
The Clerk read the words taken down as follows:
The Walker amendment, so-called middle-class amendment set-
aside, in our opinion, demeans, demeans the well-established
policy to bring minorities and women into the economic
mainstream and should be strenuously opposed. And I ask my
colleagues to again support the committee in opposing Mr.
Walker's demeaning amendment.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. SHARP, said:
``The Chair rules that the use of the language ``demeaning'' has, as
its descriptive objective, the amendment itself and the policy therein
and does not go to the motive or the character of the individual who is
offering the amendment.
``Members may take issue with the description of the amendment, but it
is certainly, in this instance, not used to describe the character of
the Member or his motives. The words are not unparliamentary.''.
The Committee resumed its sitting; and after some further time spent
therein,
Para. 55.5 recorded vote
A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of
the Whole on the following amendment submitted by Mr. WALKER:
Page 62, line 11, insert ``The Secretary shall ensure that
loans and loan guarantees made available under this subtitle
are made to business concerns which are at least 51 percent
owned or controlled by middle class Americans. Middle class
Americans are defined as those individuals whose Adjusted
Gross Income for Federal income tax purposes for the previous
year was between $15,000 and $85,000.'' after ``including
women).''.

House of Representatives,
Washington, DC, May 14, 1993.
I hereby designate the Honorable G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery to
act as Speaker pro tempore on Monday, May 17, 1993.
Thomas S. Foley,
Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Para. 56.2 approval of the journal

taken from the Speaker's table and referred to the Committee on
Appropriations and ordered to be printed.
Para. 56.4 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,
May 17, 1993.
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 10:25 a.m. on
Friday, May 14, 1993, said to contain a message from the
President wherein he submits a 6-month periodic report on the
national emergency with respect to Iran.
With great respect, I am
Sincerely yours,
Donnald K. Anderson,
Clerk, House of Representatives.
Para. 56.5 national emergency with respect to iran
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 developments since the last
Presidential report on November 10, 1992, 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, 1993.
The last report, dated November 10, 1992, covered events through October
15, 1992.
1. There have been no amendments to the Iranian Transactions
Regulations (``ITRs''), 31 CFR Part 560, or to the Iranian Assets
Control Regulations (``IACRs''), 31 CFR Part 535, since the 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, as previously reported, recent amendments to the ITRs
have resulted in a substantial decrease in the number of applications
received relating to the importation of nonfungible Iranian-origin
goods.
During the reporting period, the Customs Service has continued to
effect numerous seizures of Iranian-origin merchandise, primarily
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.
Additional forfeiture and civil penalty actions are under review.
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 the last
report, the Tribunal has rendered 12 awards, for a total of 545 awards.
Of that total, 367 have been awards in favor of American claimants: 222
of these were awards on agreed terms, authorizing and approving payment
of settlements negotiated by the parties, and 145 were decisions
adjudicated on the merits. The Tribunal has issued 36 decisions
dismissing claims on the merits and 83 decisions dismissing claims for
jurisdictional reasons. Of the 59 remaining awards, 3 approved the
withdrawal of cases, and 56 were in favor of Iranian claimants. As of
March 31, 1993, awards to successful American claimants from the
Security Account held by the NV Settlement Bank stood at
$2,340,072,357.77.
As of March 31, 1993, the Security Account has fallen below the
required balance of $500 million 36 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. Iran has
also replenished the 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. Iran has not,
however, replenished the account since the last oil sale deposit on
October 8, 1992. The aggregate amount that has been transferred from
the Interest Account to the Security Account is $874,472,986.47. As of
March 31, 1993, the total amount in the Security Account was
$216,244,986.03, and the total amount in the Interest Account was
$8,638,133.15.
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, nine large claims have been decided. More than 85 percent of
the nonbank claims have now been disposed of through adjudication,
settlement, or voluntary withdrawal, leaving 76 such claims on the
docket. The larger claims, the resolution of which has been slowed by
their complexity, are finally being resolved, sometimes with sizable
awards to the U.S. claimants. For example, two claimants were awarded
more than $130 million each by the Tribunal in October 1992.
5. As anticipated by the May 13, 1990, agreement settling the claims
of U.S. nationals for less than $250,000.00, the Foreign Claims
Settlement Commission (``FCSC'') has continued its review of 3,112
claims. The FCSC has issued decisions in 1,201 claims, for total awards
of more than $22 million. The FCSC expects to complete its adjudication
of the remaining claims in early 1994.
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. In November 1992, the United States filed
25 volumes of supporting information in case B/1 (Claims 2 & 3), Iran's
claim against the United States for damages relating to its Foreign
Military Sales Program. In February of this year, the United States
participated in a daylong prehearing conference in several other cases
involving military equipment. Iran also filed a new interpretative
dispute alleging that the failure of U.S. courts to enforce an award
against a U.S. corporation violated the Algiers Accords.
7. As reported in November, Jose Maria Ruda, President of the
Tribunal, tendered his resignation on October 2, 1992. No successor has
yet been named. Judge Ruda's resignation will take effect as soon as a
successor becomes available to take up his duties.
8. The situation reviewed above continues to involve important
diplomatic, financial, and legal interests of the United States and its
nationals. Iran's policy behavior presents challenges 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
exercise the powers at my disposal to deal with these problems and will
report pe-
[[Page 405]]
riodically to the Congress on significant developments.
William J. Clinton.
The White House, May 14, 1993.
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. 103-86).

The Congress finds that--
(1) the creation, development, and adoption of advanced
technologies are significant determinants of sustainable
economic growth, productivity improvement, and competitive
standing;
(2) over the last decade, the rate of advanced technology
adoption in the United States has been about half that of
some prominent foreign nations and has contributed to a
relative decline in United States industrial competitiveness;
(3) maintaining a highly competitive manufacturing base in
the United States is essential for economic prosperity and
national welfare and requires continuous development and
adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies that will
enable United States manufacturers to develop innovative
products rapidly and manufacture goods of the highest quality

(4) there is general agreement on which fields of
technology are critical for economic competitiveness through
the first decade of the next century, but the United States
Government must pursue a comprehensive strategy to ensure
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;
(5) technology-based products of the twenty-first century
must be developed incorporating the values of sustainable
development, including low energy and material use, safety,
recyclability, and minimal pollution;
(6) the cost of and difficulty in obtaining investment
capital for small high technology companies are significant
deterrents to their formation, development, and growth;
(7) standardization of weights and measures, including
development and promotion of product and quality standards,
has a significant role to play in competitiveness;
(8) strategic technology planning for sustainable economic
growth, the support of critical civilian technology research,
development, and application, and advancement of
manufacturing technology research, development, and adoption
are appropriate Government roles; and
(9) programs established under this Act, and the amendments
made by this Act, shall be funded as a result of shifting the
total Federal investment in research and development to
achieve a balance between support for defense and civilian
activities, and shall not be financed through additional
deficit spending.
SEC. 103. PURPOSES.
The purposes of this Act are to--
(1) promote and facilitate the creation, development, and
adoption of technologies by United States companies
throughout the Nation that will contribute significantly to
United States competitiveness, employment, and sustainable

development of domestic standards which enable the
introduction of technologies, products, or technology-based
services which are being delayed due to the lack of available
standards. The Institute and such contractors shall, in
carrying out the preceding sentence, cooperate with
governmental bodies, private organizations including
standards setting organizations and industry, and

of capitalization, intense competition from foreign
industries, or such other appropriate reasons as may limit
the industrial partners' ability to launch programs where
worker training and development is a substantial component;
``(C) demonstrate long-term benefit for all partners and
the local economy, through an enhanced competitive position
of the industrial partners, substantial benefits for regional
employment, and the ability of the education and labor
participants to further their capabilities to educate and
train other nonpartnership-affiliated individuals wishing to
obtain or upgrade technical, technological, industrial
management and leadership, or other industrial skills;
``(D) make full, appropriate, and innovative use of
industrial and higher education resources and other local
resources such as facilities, equipment, personnel exchanges,
experts, or consultants;

education mission of the education partners in ways outside
of the scope of the partnership, such as developing the
capability to train other nonpartnership-affiliated
individuals in similar skills.
``(C) Priority consideration.--The Secretary shall give
priority consideration to
[[Page 430]]
industries which are threatened by intense foreign
competition important to the long-term national economic or
military security of the United States and industries which
are critical in enabling other United States industries to
maintain a healthy competitive position. In addition, the
Secretary shall give priority to applicants in areas of high
poverty and unemployment.
``(g) Use of Funds.--
``(1) Approved uses.--Federal funds may be used for--
``(A) the direct costs of workplace-based and classroom-

percent of the total cost of the program.
``(2) Limitations.--Federal funds may not be used for
nontraining related costs of adopting new competitive
strategies including the replacement of manufacturing
equipment, product redesign and manufacturing facility
construction costs, or salary compensation of the partners'
employees. Grants shall not be made under this section for
programs that will impair any existing program, contract, or
agreement without the written concurrence of the parties to
such program, contract, or agreement.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Gallatin Range Consolidation
and Protection Act of 1993''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds that:
(1) It has been the clear policy of the Federal Government
since 1925 to consolidate the checkerboard lands along the
Gallatin Range north of Yellowstone National Park.
(2) These lands north of Yellowstone possess outstanding
natural characteristics and wildlife habitat which give them
high value as lands added to the National Forest System.
(3) Although these lands have historically remained
pristine up to now, failure to consolidate at this time will
in the near future lead to fragmentation and development.
(4) The Federal Government has already invested a great
deal in keeping the lands along the Gallatin Range protected
from excess development.
SEC. 3. PLUM CREEK LAND EXCHANGE--GALLATIN AREA.
(a) In General.--The Secretary of Agriculture (hereinafter
in this Act referred to as the ``Secretary'') shall, subject

to the company such easements or other rights-of-way
authorizations over federally owned lands included in this
exchange as may be agreed to by the Secretary and the company
in an exchange agreement; and
(2) in consideration of the easements conveyed by the
United States as provided in paragraph (1), the company shall
execute and deliver to the United States such easements or
other rights-of-way authorizations across company-owned lands
included in this exchange as may be agreed to by the

(2) there are federally-owned minerals underlying lands of
the company lying outside those areas;
(3) the company has agreed in principle with the Department
of Agriculture to an exchange of mineral rights to
consolidate 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

federally owned mineral interests as the Secretary and the
company may agree upon.
(c) Equal Value.--(1) The value of mineral interests
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

character, and similar factors.

(1) Subject to paragraph (2), mineral interests conveyed by

interests of approximately equal value underlying lands, the
Secretary and the Secretary of the Interior may identify for
exchange any other federally owned mineral interest in land
in the State of Montana of which the surface estate is in
private ownership.
(e) Consultation With the Department of the Interior.--(1)
The Secretary shall consult with the Secretary of the

Para. 61.10 message from the president--national emergency with respect
to yugoslavia
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MONTGOMERY, 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 emergency declared with respect to the
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) is to continue in
effect beyond May 30, 1993, to the Federal Register for publication.
The circumstances that led to the declaration on May 30, 1992, of a
national emergency have not been resolved. The Government of the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) continues to support
groups seizing and attempting to seize territory in the Republics of
Croatia and Bosnia-Hercegovina by force and violence. The actions and
policies of the Government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia
and Montenegro) pose a continuing unusual and extraordinary threat to
the national security, vital foreign policy interests, and the economy
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 the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) to reduce its ability to support the
continuing civil strife and bloodshed in the former Yugoslavia.
William J. Clinton.
The White House, May 25, 1993.
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. 103-91).
Para. 61.11 message from the president--national emergency with respect
to serbia
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MONTGOMERY, laid before the House a
message from the President, which was read as follows:
To the Congress of the United States:
On May 30, 1992, in Executive Order No. 12808, President Bush declared
a national emergency to deal with the threat to the national security,
foreign policy, and economy of the United States arising from actions
and policies of the Governments of Serbia and Montenegro, acting under
the name of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia or the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia, in their involvement in and support for groups
attempting to seize territory in Croatia and Bosnia-Hercegovina by force
and violence utilizing, in part, the forces of the so-called Yugoslav
National Army (57 FR 23299, June 2, 1992). The present report is
submitted pursuant to 50 U.S.C. 1641(c) and 1703(c). It discusses
Administration actions and expenses directly related to the exercise of
powers and authorities conferred by the declaration of a national
emergency in Executive Order No. 12808 and to expanded sanctions against
the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) (the ``FRY
(S/M)'') contained in Executive Order No. 12810 of June 5, 1992 (57 FR
24347, June 9, 1992), Executive Order No. 12831 of January 15, 1993 (58
FR 5253, January 21, 1993), and Executive Order No. 12846 of April 26,
1993 (58 FR 25771, April 27, 1993).
1. Executive Order No. 12808 blocked all property and interests in
property of the Governments of Serbia and Montenegro, or held in the
name of the former Government of the Socialist Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia or the Government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, then
or thereafter located in the United States or within the possession or
control of U.S. persons, including their overseas branches.
Subsequently, Executive Order No. 12810 expanded U.S. actions to
implement in the United States the U.N. sanctions against the FRY (S/M)
adopted in United Nations Security Council Resolution No. 757 of May 30,
1992. In addition to reaffirming the blocking of FRY (S/M) Government
property, this order prohibits transactions with respect to the FRY (S/
M) involving imports, exports, dealing in FRY-origin property, air and
sea transportation, contract performance, funds transfers, activity
promoting importation or exportation or dealings in property, and
official sports, scientific, technical, or cultural representation of
the FRY (S/M) in the United States.
Executive Order No. 12810 exempted from trade restrictions (1) trans-
[[Page 476]]
shipments through the FRY (S/M), and (2) activities related to the
United Nations Protection Force (``UNPROFOR''), the Conference on
Yugoslavia, or the European Community Monitor Mission.
On January 15, 1993, President Bush issued Executive Order No. 12831
to implement new sanctions contained in United Nations Security Council
Resolution No. 787 of November 16, 1992. The order revokes the
exemption for transshipments through the FRY (S/M) contained in
Executive Order No. 12810; prohibits transactions within the United
States or by a U.S. person relating to FRY (S/M) vessels and vessels in
which a majority or controlling interest is held by a person or entity
in, or operating from, the FRY (S/M), and states that all such vessels
shall be considered as vessels of the FRY (S/M), regardless of the flag
under which they sail. Executive Order No. 12831 also delegates
discretionary authority to the Secretary of the Treasury, in
consultation with the Secretary of State, to prohibit trade and
financial transactions involving any areas of the former Socialist
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia as to which there is inadequate
assurance that such transactions will not be diverted to the benefit of
the FRY (S/M).
On April 26, 1993, I issued Executive Order No. 12846 to implement in
the United States the sanctions adopted in United Nations Security
Council Resolution No. 820 of April 17, 1993. That resolution called on
the Bosnian Serbs to accept the Vance-Owen peace plan for Bosnia-
Hercegovina and, if they failed to do so by April 26, called on member
states to take additional measures to tighten the embargo against the
FRY (S/M) and Serbian-controlled areas of Croatia and Bosnia-
Hercegovina.
Effective 12:01 a.m. e.d.t., April 26, 1993, Executive Order No.
12846: (1) blocks all property and interests in property of businesses
organized or located in the FRY (S/M), including the property of their
U.S. and other foreign subsidiaries, that are in or later come within
the United States or the possession or control of U.S. persons,
including their overseas branches; (2) confirms the charging to the
owners or operators of property blocked under this order or Executive
Orders No. 12808, No. 12810, or No. 12831 all expenses incident to the
blocking and maintenance of such property, requires that such expenses
be satisfied from sources other than blocked funds, and permits such
property to be sold and the proceeds (after payment of expenses) placed
in a blocked account; (3) orders (a) the detention pending
investigation of all nonblocked vessels, aircraft, freight vehicles,
rolling stock, and cargo within the United States suspected of
violating United Nations Security Council Resolutions No. 713, No. 757,
No. 787, or No. 820, and (b) the blocking of such conveyances or cargo
if a violation is determined to have been committed, and permits the
liquidation of such blocked conveyances or cargo and the placing of the
proceeds into a blocked account; (4) prohibits any vessel registered in
the United States, or owned or controlled by U.S. persons, other than
U.S. naval vessels, from entering the territorial waters of the FRY (S/
M); and (5) prohibits U.S. persons from engaging in any transactions
relating to the shipment of goods to, from, or through United Nations
Protected Areas in the Republic of Croatia and areas in the Republic of
Bosnia-Hercegovina under the control of Bosnian Serb forces.
Executive Order No. 12846 authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury in
consultation with the Secretary of State to take such actions, and to
employ all powers granted to me by the authorities cited above, as may
be necessary to carry out the purposes of that order. The sanctions
imposed in the order do not invalidate existing licenses or
authorizations issued pursuant to Executive Orders No. 12808, No.
12810, or No. 12831 except as those licenses and authorizations may
thereafter be terminated, suspended, or modified by the issuing Federal
agencies, but otherwise the sanctions apply notwithstanding any
preexisting contracts, international agreements, licenses, or
authorizations.
2. The declaration of the national emergency on May 30, 1992, was
made pursuant to the authority vested in the 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. The emergency declaration was reported to the
Congress on May 30, 1992, pursuant to section 204(b) of the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1703(b)). The
additional sanctions set forth in Executive Orders No. 12810, No.
12831, and No. 12846 were imposed pursuant to the authority vested in
the President by the Constitution and laws of the United States,
including the statutes cited above, section 1114 of the Federal
Aviation Act of 1958, as amended (49 U.S.C. App. 1514), and section 5
of the United Nations Participation Act of 1945, as amended (22 U.S.C.
287c).
3. Since the last report, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the
Department of the Treasury (``FAC''), in consultation with the
Department of State and other Federal agencies, issued the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) Sanctions Regulations,
31 C.F.R. Part 585 (58 FR 13199, March 10, 1993--the ``Regulations''),
to implement the prohibitions contained in Executive Orders No. 12808,
No. 12810, and No. 12831. A copy of the Regulations is enclosed with
this report. The seven general licenses discussed in the last report
were incorporated into the Regulations. The Regulations contain general
licenses for certain transactions incident to: the receipt or
transmission of mail and informational materials and for
telecommunications transmissions between the United States and the FRY
(S/M); the importation and exportation of diplomatic pouches; certain
transfers of funds or other financial or economic resources for the
benefit of individuals located in the FRY (S/M); the importation and
exportation of household and personal effects of persons arriving from
or departing to the FRY (S/M); transactions related to nonbusiness
travel by U.S. persons to, from, and within the FRY (S/M); and
transactions involving secondary-market trading in debt obligations
originally incurred by banks organized in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-
Hercegovina, and Macedonia.
On January 15, 1993, FAC issued General Notice No. 2, entitled
``Notification of Status of Yugoslav Entities.'' A copy of the notice
is attached. The list is composed of government, financial, and
commercial entities organized in Serbia or Montenegro and a number of
foreign subsidiaries of such entities. The list is illustrative of
entities covered by FAC's presumption, stated in the notice, that all
entities organized or located in Serbia or Montenegro, as well as their
foreign branches and subsidiaries, are controlled by the Government of
the FRY (S/M) and thus subject to the blocking provisions of the
Executive orders. General Notice No. 2, which includes more than 400
entities, expands and incorporates the list of 284 entities identified
in General Notice No. 1 (57 FR 32051, July 20, 1992), noted in the
previous report.
As part of a U.S.-led allied effort to tighten economic sanctions
against Yugoslavia, on March 11, 1993, FAC named 25 maritime firms and
55 ships controlled by these firms as ``Specially Designated
Nationals'' (``SDNs'') of Yugoslavia. A copy of General Notice No. 3 is
attached. These shipping firms and the vessels they own, manage, or
operate by using foreign front companies, changing vessel names, and
reflagging ships, are presumed to be owned or controlled by or to be
acting on behalf of the Government of the FRY (S/M). In addition,
pursuant to Executive Order No. 12846, the property within U.S.
jurisdiction of these firms is blocked as direct or indirect property
interests of firms organized or located in the FRY (S/M).
The FRY (S/M) has continued to operate its maritime fleet and trade
in violation of the international economic sanctions mandated by United
Nations Security Council Resolutions No. 757 and No. 787. Operations
and activities by Yugoslav front companies, or SDNs, enable the
Government of the FRY (S/M) to circumvent the international trade
embargo. The effect of FAC's SDN designation is to identify agents and
property of the Government of the FRY (S/M), and property of entities
organized or located in the FRY (S/M), and thus to extend the
applicability of the regulatory prohibitions governing transactions
with the Government of the FRY (S/M) and its nationals by U.S. persons
to these designated individuals and entities wherever located,
[[Page 477]]
irrespective of nationality or registration. U.S. persons are
prohibited from engaging in any transaction involving property in which
an SDN has an interest, which includes all financial and trade
transactions. All SDN property within the jurisdiction of the United
States (including financial assets in U.S. bank branches overseas) is
blocked.
The two court cases in which the blocking authority was challenged as
applied to FRY (S/M) subsidiaries and vessels in the United States
remain pending at this time. In one case, the plaintiffs have
challenged the application of Executive Order No. 12846, and the
challenge remains to be resolved. The other case is presently pending
before a U.S. Court of Appeals.
4. Over the past 6 months, the Departments of State and the Treasury
have worked closely with European Community (the ``EC'') member states
and other U.N. member nations to coordinate implementation of the
sanctions against the FRY (S/M). This has included visits by assessment
teams formed under the auspices of the United States, the EC, and the
Conference for Security and Cooperation in Europe (the ``CSCE'') to
states bordering on Serbia and Montenegro; deployment of CSCE sanctions
assistance missions (``SAMS'') to Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, the
Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Hungary, Romania, and Ukraine to
assist in monitoring land and Danube River traffic; bilateral contacts
between the United States and other countries with the purpose of
tightening financial and trade restrictions on the FRY (S/M); and
establishment of a mechanism to coordinate enforcement efforts and to
exchange technical information.
5. In accordance with licensing policy and the Regulations, FAC has
exercised its authority to license certain specific transactions with
respect to the FRY (S/M) that are consistent with the Security Council
sanctions. During the reporting period, FAC has issued 163 specific
licenses regarding transactions pertaining to the FRY (S/M) or assets
it owns or controls, bringing the total as of April 30, 1993, to 426.
Specific licenses have been issued for (1) payment to U.S. or third-
country secured creditors, under certain narrowly defined
circumstances, for pre-embargo import and export transactions; (2) for
legal representation or advice to the Government of the FRY (S/M) or
FRY (S/M)-controlled clients; (3) for restricted and closely monitored
operations by subsidiaries of FRY (S/M)-controlled firms located in the
United States; (4) for limited FRY (S/M) diplomatic representation
in Washington and New York; (5) for patent, trademark and copyright
protection, and maintenance transactions in the FRY (S/M) not involving
payment to the FRY (S/M) Government; (6) for certain communications,
news media, and travel-related transactions; (7) for the payment of
crews' wages and vessel maintenance of FRY (S/M)-controlled ships
blocked in the United States; (8) for the removal from the FRY (S/M) of
manufactured property owned and controlled by U.S. entities; and (9) to
assist the United Nations in its relief operations and the activities
of the U.N. Protection Force. Pursuant to United Nations Security
Council Resolutions No. 757 and No. 760, specific licenses have also
been issued to authorize exportation of food, medicine, and supplies
intended for humanitarian purposes in the FRY (S/M).
During the past 6 months, FAC has continued to closely monitor 15
U.S. subsidiaries of entities organized in the FRY (S/M) that were
blocked as entities owned or controlled by the Government of the FRY
(S/M). Treasury agents performed on-site audits and reviewed numerous
reports submitted by the blocked subsidiaries. Subsequent to the
issuance of Executive Order No. 12846, operating licenses issued for
U.S.-located Serbian or Montenegrin subsidiaries or joint ventures were
revoked and the U.S. entities closed for business.
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board and the New York
State Banking Department again worked closely with FAC with regard to
two Serbian banking institutions in New York that were closed on June
1, 1992. Full-time bank examiners continue to be posted in their
offices to ensure that banking records are appropriately safeguarded.
During the past 6 months, U.S. financial institutions have continued
to block funds transfers in which there is an interest of the
Government of the FRY (S/M). Such transfers have accounted for an
additional $24.5 million in blocked Yugoslav assets since the issuance
of Executive Order No. 12808.
To ensure compliance with the terms of the licenses that have been
issued under the program, stringent reporting requirements are imposed.
Some 350 submissions were reviewed since the last report, and more than
150 compliance cases are currently open. In addition, licensed bank
accounts are regularly audited by FAC compliance personnel and by
cooperating auditors from other regulatory agencies.
6. Since the issuance of Executive Order No. 12810, 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 the FRY
(S/M) 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 are being
taken. There are currently 39 cases under active investigation.
7. The expenses incurred by the Federal Government in the 6-month
period from December 1, 1992, through May 30, 1993, that are directly
attributable to the authorities conferred by the declaration of a
national emergency with respect to the FRY (S/M) are estimated at $2.9
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 and its Chief Counsel's Office and
the U.S. Customs Service), the Department of State, the National
Security Council, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Department of Commerce.
8. The actions and policies of the Government of the FRY (S/M), in
its involvement in and support for groups attempting to seize and hold
territory in Croatia and Bosnia-Hercegovina by force and violence,
continue 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 binding resolutions of the United
Nations Security Council with respect to the FRY (S/M). I shall
continue to exercise the powers at my disposal to apply economic
sanctions against the FRY (S/M) 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).

lieu thereof the following:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This joint resolution may be cited as the ``Authorization
for Use of United States Armed Forces in Somalia
Resolution''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds that--
(1) an estimated 300,000 Somalis reportedly have died of
hunger or as casualties of widespread violence since the fall
of Siad Barre in January, 1991;
(2) international relief agencies were unable to deliver
adequate assistance to those most in need due to increasingly
difficult and dangerous security conditions, including
pervasive banditry and looting;
(3) the Congress expressed its support for a greater United
Nations role in addressing the political and humanitarian
situation in Somialia through Senate Concurrent Resolution
132 and House Concurrent Resolution 370 of the 102d Congress;
(4) the United Nations Secretary General and United States
officials concluded that intervention in Somalia would be
necessary to avert further massive starvation;
(5) the United Nations Security Council on December 3,
1992, adopted Resolution 794, authorizing the use of ``all
necessary means to establish as soon as possible a secure
environment for humanitarian relief operations in Somalia'';
(6) President Bush on December 8, 1992, began deploying
United States Armed Forces in Somalia in response to United
Nations Security Council Resolution 794;
(7) on December 10, 1992, President Bush formally reported
to the Congress on the deployment of United States Armed
Forces in Somalia;
(8) on January 15, 1993, the Department of Defense
announced the beginning of the withdrawal of United States
Armed Forces from Somalia;
(9) as of mid-May 1993, approximately 3,800 American
servicemen and women remain in and near Somalia;
(10) President Bush emphasized that United States Armed
Forces would be withdrawn from Somalia and that the security
mission would be assumed by a new United Nations peace-
keeping operation (UNOSOM II) as soon as a ``secure
environment'' was created for the delivery of food and other
humanitarian assistance;
(11) the deployment of United States Armed Forces in
Somalia, together with those from other countries, has led to
a substantial increase in the delivery of humanitarian
assistance and has opened up access to more remote areas of
the country;
(12) further starvation on a massive scale has been averted
in Somalia, but there remains a need for continuing
humanitarian efforts under UNOSOM II;
(13) in a report dated March 3, 1993, the United Nations
Secretary General proposed that the transfer of command from
UNITAF to UNOSOM II take place on May 1, 1993;
(14) on March 26, 1993, the United Nations Security Council
adopted Resolution 814, approving the Secretary General's
report of March 3, 1993;
(15) pursuant to Resolution 814, United States Armed Forces
will play a key role in the UNOSOM II operation, United
States Armed Forces participating in UNOSOM II will be under
the command of a United Nations official, and United States
Armed Forces participating in UNOSOM II will be asked to
fulfill a mission in Somalia that is much broader and more
open-ended than the mission originally outlined by President
Bush;
(16) United States Armed Forces in Somalia are not now in a
situation of hostilities or a situation in which imminent
involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the
circumstances within the meaning of the War Powers
Resolution, nor is it contemplated that they will be in such
a situation while participating in UNOSOM II; and
(17) the Congress has not been adequately consulted on the
new United Nations mission in Somalia and has not had an
opportunity to debate and consider what United States policy
should be in the context of a broadened United Nations
mandate for that country.
SEC. 3. SUPPORT FOR UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES IN SOMALIA.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) prior to United Nations-authorized operations in
Somalia, over 300,000 Somalis (including one-fourth of the
children under the age of five) died due to civil strife,
disease, and famine, and at least one-half of Somalia's
population of 8,000,000 people, were considered at risk of
starvation;
(2) the number of deaths from starvation in Somalia has
declined significantly since the arrival of the United
States-led force in Somalia; and
(3) the United States contributed immeasurably to UNITAF,
including the deployment of over 20,000 members of the Armed
Forces and the loss of American lives.
(b) Commendation of U.S. Armed Forces.--The Congress
commends the United States Armed Forces for successfully
establishing a secure environment for the humanitarian relief
operations in Somalia.
SEC. 4. PARTICIPATION OF UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES IN UNOSOM
II.
(a) Authorization.--The President is authorized to deploy
United States Armed Forces in Somalia in order to participate
in UNOSOM II, subject to subsection (b).
(b) Expiration.--The authorization provided in subsection
(a) shall expire 6 months after the date of enactment of this
joint resolution, unless Congress extends such authorization.
SEC. 5. CONGRESSIONAL POLICY STATEMENTS.
(a) Restoration of Somali Self-Government and Withdrawal of
Foreign Military Forces.--It is the sense of the Congress
that--
(1) the restoration of self-government to Somalia and the
withdrawal of all foreign military forces from Somalia at the
earliest date consistent with the humanitarian situation in
that country are fundamental objectives of the international
community;
(2) to achieve these objectives, the United Nations should
foster the establishment of competent local authorities in
Somalia that will enable the Somali people to reclaim control
of their country; and
(3) the size and scope of UNOSOM II should be reduced as
quickly as local institutions and the humanitarian situation
will permit.
(b) Withdrawal of United States Armed Forces.--It is the
sense of the Congress that--
(1) United States Armed Forces have performed a
humanitarian service in Somalia that the armed forces of very
few other countries could have performed;
(2) increasingly, however, the security needs of Somalia
can be handled by the armed forces of other countries; and
(3) the mission of UNOSOM II established by United Nations
Security Council Resolution 814 is considerably broader than
the original United States objective of creating a secure
environment for the delivery of humanitarian assistance.
For these reasons, and consistent with the objectives of
promptly restoring Somalia self-government and withdrawing
foreign military forces from Somalia, the Congress declares
that all United States Armed Forces should be withdrawn from
Somalia not later than 6 months after the date of enactment
of this joint resolution and their functions assumed by other
UNOSOM II personnel or forces to the extent required after
that date.
(c) Reimbursement of Costs Incurred by the United States in
Somalia.--It is the sense of the Congress that the President
should seek to ensure that incremental costs incurred by the
United States in connection with UNITAF and in connection
with UNOSOM II are reimbursed to the maximum extent possible
by the United Nations and other members of the international
community.
SEC. 6. REPORTING REQUIREMENT.
Not later than 2 months after the date of enactment of this
joint resolution and at least once every 2 months thereafter
until 2 months after all United States Armed Forces have been
withdrawn from Somalia, the President shall submit to the
Congress a report on developments related to Somalia. Each
such report shall include--
(1) a statement of United States policy objectives in
Somalia and an assessment of the progress that has been made
in achieving those objectives;
(2) an assessment of the progress that has been made in
fostering the establishment of competent local authorities in
Somalia;
(3) the projected date for withdrawal of all United States
Armed Forces from Somalia and an assessment of the progress
that has been made toward completing that withdrawal;
(4) a full accounting of all United States incremental
costs in connection with UNITAF and UNOSOM II;
(5) a full accounting of the estimated incremental costs of
other countries in connection with UNITAF and UNOSOM II;
(6) a full accounting of all contributions that have been
made to the United Nations Somalia Trust Fund, and all
disbursements from the Fund; and
(7) a statement of the steps that have been taken, and an
assessment of the progress that has been achieved, in
obtaining reimbursement of the incremental costs incurred by
the United States in connection with UNITAF and UNOSOM II.
SEC. 7. DEFINITIONS.
As used in this joint resolution--
(1) the term ``UNITAF'' means the Unified Task Force
established pursuant to United Nations Security Council
Resolution 794 (1992); and
(2) the term ``UNOSOM II'' means the international force
established pursuant to the United Nations Security Council
Resolution 814 (1993).

So the amendment was agreed to.
The following amendment, as amended, was then agreed to:
Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This joint resolution may be cited as the ``Resolution
Authorizing the Use of United States Armed Forces in
Somalia''.
SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) An estimated 300,000 Somalis have died as a result of
hunger and widespread violence since the fall of Siad Barre
in January 1991.
(2) On December 3, 1992, the United Nations Security
Council adopted Resolution 794 in which the Security
Council--
(A) determined that ``the magnitude of the human tragedy
caused by the conflict in Somalia, further exacerbated by the
obstacles being created to the distribution of humanitarian
assistance, constitutes a threat to international peace and
security'', and
(B) acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United
Nations, authorized the use of ``all necessary means to
establish as soon as possible a secure environment for
humanitarian relief operations in Somalia''.
(3) United States Armed Forces entered Somalia on December
9, 1992, in response to Security Council Resolution 794.
(4) The United Nations Secretary General concluded in his
report of March 3, 1993, that without improved security
throughout Somalia ``the political process cannot prosper and
humanitarian relief operations will remain vulnerable to
disruption''.
(5) The Secretary General recommended in his report that
the United Nations Security Council adopt a resolution
effecting the transition from the United States-led force in
Somalia to a United Nations-led force, with the formal date
of transfer of command to be May 1, 1993.
(6) The Secretary General's report envisoned a United
Nations-led force having a multinational military component
of 20,000 personnel, plus an additional 8,000 personnel to
provide logistic support.
(7) On March 26, 1993, the United Nations Security Council,
acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United
Nations, adopted Resolution 814 in response to the Secretary
General's report. This resolution provides for the
establishment of the United Nations-led force in Somalia by
expanding the size and mandate of the original United Nations
peacekeeping force in Somalia (commonly referred to as
``UNOSOM'') in accordance with the recommendations contained
in the report of the Secretary General.
(8) United States Armed Forces will participate in the
United Nations-led force in Somalia as part of the
multinational logistic support contingent, providing
logistical, communications, and intelligence support.
(9) In addition to logistic forces, the United States will
make available a battalion-sized tactical quick reaction
force to respond to requests for emergency assistance from
the United Nations Force Commander in Somalia. This quick
reaction force will be under United States operational
control.
(10) The transfer of operations in Somalia from the United
States-led force to the United Nations-led force will result
in a substantial reduction in the number of members of the
United States Armed Forces that are deployed in Somalia and
in the costs incurred by the United States as a result of
United Nations-authorized operations in Somalia.
(11) The Congress should authorize any use of United States
Armed Forces to implement United Nations Security Council
Resolutions 794 and 814.
(12)(A) The Congress does not anticipate that United States
Armed Forces will need to remain in Somalia for more than 12
months after the date of enactment of this joint resolution
to implement United Nations Security Council Resolution 814.
(B) Given the importance of the mission of the United
Nations-led force in Somalia, however, the Congress will give
strong consideration to extending the authorization for the
use of United States Armed Forces to implement Resolution 814
should such continued use be necessary to ensure the success
of the United Nations-led force in Somalia.

(1) to help provide a secure environment for famine relief
efforts;

population of 8,000,000 people, were considered at risk of
starvation;
(2) the number of deaths from starvation in Somalia has
declined significantly since the arrival of the United
States-led force in Somalia; and

by United Nations Security Council Resolution 814 (1993); and

emergency assistance from the United Nations Force Commander
in Somalia.
(b) Statements of Intent Required by War Powers

(2) the expiration of the mandate of the United Nations-led
force in Somalia.

XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the
Whole House on the state of the Union for
[[Page 499]]
consideration of the bill (H.R. 2264) to provide for
reconciliation pursuant to section 7 of the concurrent
resolution on the budget for fiscal year 1994. 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 the amendments made
in order by this resolution and shall not exceed two hours
equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking
minority member of the Committee on the Budget. After general
debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the
five-minute rule and shall be considered as read. The
modifications to the bill printed in part 1 of the report of
the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution shall be
considered as adopted in the House and in the Committee of
the Whole. All points of order against the bill, as modified,
are waived. No amendment to the bill, as modified, shall be
in order except the amendment in the nature of a substitute
printed in part 2 of the report. The amendment in the nature
of a substitute may be offered only by Representative Kasich
of Ohio or his designee, shall be considered as read, shall
be debatable for one hour equally divided and controlled by
the proponent and an opponent, and shall not be subject to
amendment. All points of order against the amendment in the
nature of a substitute are waived. At the conclusion of
consideration of the bill for amendment the Committee shall
rise and report the bill, as modified, to the House with such
amendment as may have been adopted. The previous question
shall be considered as ordered on the bill and amendment
thereto to final passage without intervening motion except
one motion to recommit, which may not include instructions.
Pending consideration of said resolution,
Para. 63.7 point of order
Mr. SOLOMON made a point of order against said resolution, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, respectfully, I make a point of order against House
Resolution 186 on the grounds that it is in violation of House rule XI,
clause 4(d).
``Mr. Speaker, House rule XI, clause 4(d) provides that, and I quote,
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, number one, the text
of any part of the rules of the House of Representatives
which is proposed to be repealed and, number two, 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.
``Mr. Speaker, House Resolution 186 provides that upon its adoption
`Modifications to H.R. 2264, printed in part 1 of the report of the
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution, shall be considered as
adopted in the House and in the Committee of the Whole.'
``One of those modifications, Mr. Speaker, contained in the Committee
on Rules report, adds a totally new title XV to the bill entitled
`Budget Process.'
``Subtitle B of that title in the report is entitled `Amendment to the
Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974; Conforming
Amendments.'
``Section 15211 of that subtitle is entitled `Conforming Amendments to
the rules of the House of Representatives.' The section includes six
separate, permanent, not temporary but permanent, amendments to the
House Rules which amend: rule X, clause 4(g); rule XI, clause
2(L)(3)(B); rule XI, clause 2(L)(6); rule XI, clause 7; rule XXIII,
clause 8; and rule XLIX, clause 2.
``And yet, despite the fact that this resolution, upon its adoption,
amends House rules in those six different parts, nowhere in the report
of the Committee on Rules for this resolution is there any kind of
comparative print showing the changes being made from the existing rules
as is required in House rule XI, clause 4(d), which I cited earlier
today.
``Mr. Speaker, it will not do to argue that this change is being made
in an order of business resolution. House rule XI does not differentiate
between special rules and other resolutions reported from the Committee
on Rules. It only refers to `a resolution repealing or amending any rule
of the House' whenever it is reported by the Committee on Rules.
``Mr. Speaker, the resolution clearly makes such changes, and the
report must, therefore, include a comparative print showing those
changes. Otherwise, I can assure my colleagues, Mr. Speaker, as I look
at all of these changes, which I have here now, 90 percent of the
Members of this House have never seen this document that I have in my
hand here. I know almost 100 percent on our side, and I am sure only
those who might have been active last night between the hours of 2 a.m.
and 4 a.m. have any idea what is in here.
``So it just is not right. If we had these comparatives showing the
differences of what is being changed or repealed or added, at least we
could make some kind of a fair judgment.
``I, therefore, urge that my point of order be sustained.''.
Mr. DERRICK was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``The gentleman from New York [Mrs. Solomon] makes the point of order
that the rule violates clause 4(D) of rule XI. This clause requires the
Rules Committee to include a comparative print displaying changes to the
rules of the House when the committee reports a resolution repealing or
amending any rule.
``House Resolution 186 modifies the text of the reconciliation bill.
The bill as modified amends House rules. But the resolution under
consideration does not, in itself, repeal or amend any rule of the
House.
``Mr. Speaker, I urge you to overrule the point of order.''.
Mr. WALKER was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``Mr. Speaker, it seems to me what I hear the gentleman from South
Carolina saying is that the resolution does not so state these rules
changes and so, therefore, they will not really take place. And the
House should not have to fear them.
``Understand, what he is suggesting is that the self-enacting
amendments that the resolution makes in order are not directly spelled
out in the resolution and so, therefore, should not have to be
considered in all of this, because two of the self-enacting amendments
are what the gentleman refers to in the changes in text.
``We now have this rather strange situation on the floor where the
Committee on Rules can come down, violate the fundamental rules of the
House with self-enacting provisions, and claim that somehow these are
not a part of their rule. They can go up and make deals in the dead of
night behind closed doors, come out into the Committee on Rules, effect
those deals, make them into self-enacting amendments where nobody has
seen the text of them, and then come to the floor later on and claim
that somehow these do not have any real effect. That simply is not the
way in which the House should proceed.
``Mr. Speaker, I would suggest that the gentleman from New York [Mr.
Solomon] is absolutely correct. They are coming to the floor with an
intention to change the rules of the House of Representatives. When we
adopt this rule, we will adopt self-enacting provisions which, if
finally adopted, will change the rules of the House and we will have no
comparison between the two.
``This would be an appalling precedent to set in the House, that what
we are doing is trampling on the rules of the House without the proper
procedures. It would certainly go along with how this budget resolution
has been brought forward. The Chair, in all fairness, should sustain the
point of order and should not simply take the majority party's opinion
on this that is trying to ram through something extralegally.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, overruled the point of order,
and said:
``Clause 4(d) of rule XI requires the Committee on Rules to provide a
comparative print of proposals to change the rules whenever it reports
`a resolution repealing or amending any of the Rules of the House.'
``The jurisdiction of the Committee on Rules is not confined to the
rules, however. It extends also to the order of business of the House.
Thus, the committee is authorized to report a resolution providing a
special order of business.
``House Resolution 186 provides a special order of business. Its
adoption would modify the text of H.R. 2264 to include certain changes
in the rules, and would provide for the consideration of the bill, as
modified, by the House. But House Resolution 186 does not, itself,
repeal or amend any rule of the House. Only the bill--H.R. 2264--would,
if enacted into law, amend
[[Page 500]]
House rules. Consequently, the requirement of clause 4(d) of rule XI is
not applicable.
``Consistent with the precedent of February 24, 1993, the point of
order is overruled.''.
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. 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.

qualify under subsection (c) of this section; and
``(2) insured loans for eligible students, as required by
section 484, who do not qualify for interest subsidies under

section.
``(b) Terms, Conditions, and Benefits.--
``(1) In general.--Loans made to students described in
paragraph (1) of subsection (a) shall have the terms,
conditions, and benefits as described in this section and

subsection.
``(2) Applicable rates of interest.--Interest on loans made
pursuant to subsection (a) shall be at the applicable rate of
interest provided in section 427A(e).
``(3) Special rules for unsubsidized loans for student
borrowers.--
``(A) Eligible borrower.--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--
``(i) sets forth such student's estimated cost of
attendance (as determined under section 472);
``(ii) sets forth such student's estimated financial
assistance, including a loan which qualifies for subsidy
payments under section 428; and
``(iii) certifies the eligibility of the student to receive
a loan under this section and the amount of the loan for
which such student is eligible, in accordance with
subparagraph (B).
``(B) Determination of amount of loan.--The determination
of the amount of a loan by an eligible institution under
subparagraph (A) 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 subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, 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.
``(C) 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.
``(D) Payment of principal and interest.--
``(i) 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.
``(ii) 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 (I) be paid monthly or quarterly, or (II) 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.
``(E) 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.
``(F) Applicable rate of interest.--Interest on loans made
pursuant to this paragraph shall be at the applicable rate of
interest provided in section 427A(a).
``(G) Insurance premium.--
``(i) 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
paragraph.
``(ii) Relation to applicable interest.--Such combined fee
and premium shall not be taken into account for purposes of
determining compliance with section 427A.
``(iii) Disclosure required.--The lender shall disclose to
the borrower the amount and method of calculating the
combined origination fee and insurance premium.
``(iv) Use of insurance premium to offset default costs.--
Each lender making loans under this paragraph 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 paragraph and to
reduce the cost of special allowances paid thereon, if any,
under section 438(b).
``(v) 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.
``(H) Single application form.--A guaranty agency shall use
a single application form prescribed by the Secretary for
subsidized Federal Stafford loans made pursuant to section
428 and for unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans made pursuant
to this paragraph. The Secretary shall take such steps as may
be necessary to incorporate such application form into the
single form required by section 483(a).
``(I) Single promissory note form.--A lender of any loan
under this section shall use a single standard promissory
note prescribed by the Secretary by regulation.
``(c) Additional Rules and Loan Limits for Graduate,
Professional, and Certain Undergraduate Independent
Students.--

under this subsection in amounts specified in paragraphs (3)
through (6) and, unless otherwise specified in paragraphs (7)
and (8) under this subsection, shall have the same terms,
conditions, and benefits as all other loans made under this
part. In addition, undergraduate dependent students shall be
eligible to borrow funds under this subsection if the
financial aid administrator determines, after review of the
financial information submitted by the student and
considering the debt burden of the student, that exceptional
circumstances will likely preclude the student's parents from
borrowing under subsection (d) for purposes of the expected
family contribution and that the student's family is
otherwise unable to provide such expected family
contribution. If the financial aid administrator makes such a
determination, appropriate documentation of such
determination shall be maintained in the institution's
records to support such determination. No student shall be
eligible to borrow funds under this subsection until such
student has obtained a certificate of graduation from a
school providing secondary education, or the recognized
equivalent of such certificate.
``(2) Institutional eligibility.--Funds may not be borrowed
under this subsection by any undergraduate student who is
enrolled at any institution during any fiscal year if the
cohort default rate for such institution, for the most recent
fiscal year for which such rates are available, equals or
exceeds 30 percent. The Secretary shall notify institutions
to which such restriction applies annually, and specify the
fiscal year covered by the restriction. The Secretary shall
afford any institution to which such restriction applies an
opportunity to present evidence contesting the accuracy of
the calculation of the cohort default rate for such
institution.
``(3) Annual limit.--Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), the
maximum amount a student may borrow in any academic year is:
``(A) In the case of student at an eligible institution who
has not successfully completed the first year of a program of
undergraduate education--
``(i) $4,000, if such student is enrolled in a program
whose length is at least one academic year in length (as
determined under section 481);
``(ii) $2,500, if such student is enrolled in a program
whose length is less than one academic year, but at least \2/
3\ of such an academic year; and
``(iii) $1,500, if such student is enrolled in a program
whose length is less than \2/3\, but at least \1/3\, of such
an academic year.

who has successfully completed such first year but has not
successfully completed the remainder of a program of
undergraduate study, $4,000.

who has successfully completed the first and second year of
such a program but has not successfully completed the
remainder of such a program, $5,000.
``(D) In the case of a graduate or profession student (as
defined in regulations of the Secretary) at an eligible
institution, $10,000.
``(4) Aggregate limit.--The aggregate insured principal
amount of insured loans made to any student under this
subsection, minus any interest capitalized under paragraphs
(7) and (8) shall not exceed--
``(A) $23,000, in the case of any student who has not
successfully completed a program of undergraduate education;
and
``(B) $73,000, in the case of any graduate or professional
student, as such terms are defined by regulations issued by
the Secretary, including any loans which are insured by the
Secretary under this section, or by a guaranty agency, made
to such student before the student became a graduate or
professional student.
``(5) Limitation based on need.--Any loan under this
subsection may be counted as part of the expected family
contribution in the determination of need under this title,
but no loan may be made to any student under this section for
any academic year in excess of (A) the student's estimated
cost of attendance, minus (B) the total of (i) any loan for
which the student is eligible under section 428, and (ii)
other financial aid is certified by the eligible institution
under section 428(a)(2)(A). The annual insurable limit on
account of the student shall not be deemed to be exceeded by
a line of credit under which actual payments to the borrower
will not be made in any year in excess of the annual limit.
``(6) Disbursement.--A loan under this subsection shall be
disbursed in the manner required by section 428G.
``(7) Commencement of repayment.--Repayment of principal on
loans made under this subsection shall commence not later

such installment, subject to deferral pursuant to sections
427(a)(2)(C) and 428(b)(1)(M). In the case of a borrower
under this subsection who is also a borrower under a program
of student loan insurance covered by an agreement under
section 428(b), the lender shall notify the borrower of the
option to defer the commencement of the repayment for 6
months after the student ceases to carry at an eligible
institution at least one-half the normal full-time academic
workload, as determined by the institution, except that
interest shall begin to accrue, and shall be paid in
accordance with paragraph (8), notwithstanding such delay in
the commencement of repayment. The lender shall also notify
the borrower of the borrower's option to commence repayment
earlier than the beginning of such repayment period and the
difference in total cost to the borrower.

made under this subsection--
``(i) which are disbursed in installments,
``(ii) for which payments of principal are deferred under

``(iii) for which the commencement of the repayment period
is delayed in accordance with paragraph (1) to coincide with
the commencement of the repayment period of a loan made under
section 427 or 428,
shall, if agreed upon by the borrower and the lender--
``(I) be paid monthly or quarterly, or
``(II) be added to the principal amount of the loan not
more frequently than quarterly by the lender.

this subsection shall be established by assuming an interest
rate equal to the applicable rate of interest at the time the
repayment of the principal amount of the loan commences. At
the option of the lender, the note or other written evidence
of the loan may require that--

subsection may be counted as part of the expected family
contribution in the determination of need under this title,

for any academic year in excess of (A) the student's
estimated cost of attendance, minus (B) other financial aid
as certified by the eligible institution under section
428(a)(2)(A). The annual insurable limit on account of any
student shall not be deemed to be exceeded by the line of
credit under which actual payments to the borrower will not
be made in any year in excess of the annual limit.
``(3) Parent loan disbursement.--All loans made under this
subsection shall be disbursed in accordance with section
428G.

CHAPTER 1--COMPETITIVE BIDDING AUTHORITY
SEC. 5201. SHORT TITLE.
This chapter may be cited as the ``Licensing Improvement
Act of 1993''.
SEC. 5202. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds that--
(1) current licensing procedures often delay delivery of
services to the public and can result in the unjust
enrichment of applicants on the basis of the value of the
public airwaves;
(2) if licensees are engaged in reselling the use of the
public airwaves to subscribers for a fee, the licensee should
pay reasonable compensation to the public for those public
resources;
(3) a carefully designed system to obtain competitive bids
from competing qualified applicants can speed delivery of
services, promote efficient and intensive use of the
electromagnetic spectrum, prevent unjust enrichment, and
produce revenues to compensate the public for the use of the
public airwaves; and
(4) therefore, the Federal Communications Commission should
have the authority to differentiate among multiple qualified
applicants for a single license using a system of competitive
bids.
SEC. 5203. AUTHORITY TO USE COMPETITIVE BIDDING.
Section 309 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C.
309) is amended by adding at the end the following new
subsection:
``(j) Use of Competitive Bidding.--
``(1) General authority.--If mutually exclusive
applications are filed for any initial license or
construction permit which will involve a use of the
electromagnetic spectrum described in paragraph (2), then the
Commission shall have the authority to grant such license or
permit to a qualified applicant through the use of a system
of competitive bidding that meets the requirements of this
subsection.
``(2) Uses to which bidding may apply.--A use of the
electromagnetic spectrum is described in this paragraph if
the Commission determines that--
``(A) the principal use of such spectrum will involve, or
is reasonably likely to involve, the licensee receiving
compensation from subscribers in return--
``(i) for the licensee enabling those subscribers to
receive communications signals that are transmitted utilizing
frequencies on which the licensee is licensed to operate; or
``(ii) for the licensee enabling those subscribers to
transmit directly communications signals utilizing
frequencies on which the licensee is licensed to operate; and
``(B) a system of competitive bidding will promote the
objectives described in paragraph (3).
``(3) Design of systems of competitive bidding.--For each
license or permit, or class of licenses or permits, that the
Commission grants through the use of a competitive bidding
system, the Commission shall, by rule, establish a
competitive bidding methodology. The Commission shall seek to
design and test multiple alternative methodologies under
appropriate circumstances. In identifying licenses and
permits to be issued by competitive bidding, in specifying
eligibility and other characteristics of such licenses and
permits, and in designing the methodologies for use under
this subsection, the Commission shall seek to promote the
purposes specified in section 1 of this Act and the following
objectives:
``(A) the development and rapid deployment of new
technologies, products, and services for the benefit of the
public, including those residing in rural areas, without
administrative or judicial delays;
``(B) promoting economic opportunity and competition and
ensuring that new and innovative technologies are readily
accessible to the American people by avoiding excessive
concentration of licenses and by disseminating licenses among
a wide variety of applicants, including small businesses and
businesses owned by members of minority groups and women;
``(C) recovery for the public of a portion of the value of
the public spectrum resource made available for commercial
use and avoidance of unjust enrichment through the methods
employed to award uses of that resource; and
``(D) efficient and intensive use of the electromagnetic
spectrum.
``(4) Contents of regulations.--In prescribing rules
pursuant to paragraph (3), the Commission shall--
``(A) consider alternative payment schedules and methods of
calculation, including initial lump sums, installment or
royalty payments, guaranteed annual minimum payments, or
other schedules or methods that promote the objectives
described in paragraph (3)(B), and combinations of such
schedules and methods;
``(B) include performance requirements, such as appropriate
deadlines and penalties for performance failures, to ensure
prompt delivery of service to rural areas, to prevent
stockpiling or warehousing of spectrum by licensees or
permittees, and to promote investment in and rapid deployment
of new technologies and services;
``(C) consistent with the public interest, convenience, and
necessity, the purposes of this Act, and the characteristics
of the proposed service, prescribe area designations and
bandwidth assignments that promote (i) an equitable
distribution of licenses and services among geographic areas,
(ii) economic opportunity for a wide variety of applicants,
including small businesses and businesses owned by members of
minority groups and women, and (iii) investment in and rapid
deployment of new technologies and services; and
``(D) require such transfer disclosures and antitrafficking
restrictions and payment schedules as may be necessary to
prevent unjust enrichment as a result of the methods employed
to issue licenses and permits.
``(5) Bidder and licensee qualification.--No person shall
be permitted to participate in a system of competitive
bidding pursuant to this subsection unless such bidder
submits
[[Page 537]]
such information and assurances as the Commission may require
to demonstrate that such bidder's application is acceptable
for filing. No license shall be granted to an applicant
selected pursuant to this subsection unless the Commission
determines that the applicant is qualified pursuant to
subsection (a) and sections 308(b) and 310. Consistent with
the objectives described in paragraph (3), the Commission
shall, by rule, prescribe expedited procedures consistent
with the procedures authorized by subsection (i)(2) for the
resolution of any substantial and material issues of fact
concerning qualifications.
``(6) Rules of construction.--Nothing in this subsection,
or in the use of competitive bidding, shall--
``(A) limit or otherwise affect the requirements of
subsection (h) of this section, section 301, 304, 307, 310,
or 706, or any other provision of this Act (other than
subsections (d)(2) and (e) of this section);
``(B) be construed to convey any rights, including any
expectation of renewal of a license, that differ from the
rights that apply to other licenses within the same service
that were not issued pursuant to this subsection; or
``(C) be construed to prohibit the Commission from issuing
nationwide licenses or permits.
``(7) Limitation of effect on allocation decisions.--In
making a decision pursuant to section 303(c) to assign a band
of frequencies to a use for which licenses or permits will be
issued pursuant to this subsection, and in prescribing
regulations pursuant to paragraph (4)(A) and (4)(C) of this
subsection, the Commission may not base a finding of public
interest, convenience, and necessity solely or predominantly
on the expectation of Federal revenues from the use of a
system of competitive bidding under this subsection.
``(8) Treatment of revenues.--All proceeds from the use of
a competitive bidding system under this subsection shall be
deposited in the Treasury in accordance with chapter 33 of
title 31, United States Code. A license or permit issued by
the Commission under this section shall not be treated as the
property of the licensee for tax purposes by any State or
local government entity.
``(9) Termination; evaluation.--The authority of the
Commission to grant a license or permit under this subsection
shall expire September 30, 1998. Not later than September 30,
1997, the Commission shall conduct a public inquiry and
submit to the Congress a report--
``(A) describing the methodologies established by the
Commission pursuant to paragraphs (3) and (4);
``(B) comparing the relative advantages and disadvantages
of such methodologies in terms of attaining the objectives
described in such paragraphs;
``(C) evaluating the extent to which such methodologies
have secured prompt delivery of service to rural areas; and
``(D) containing a statement of the revenues obtained, and
a projection of the future revenues, from the use of
competitive bidding systems under this subsection.''.

section; and

``(c) Regulatory Treatment of Mobile Services.--
``(1) Common carrier treatment of commercial mobile
services.--(A) A person engaged in the provision of
commercial mobile services shall, insofar as such person is
so engaged, be treated as a common carrier for purposes of
this Act, except for such provisions of title II as the
Commission may, consistent with the public interest, specify
as inapplicable by rule. In prescribing any such rule, the
Commission may not specify section 201, 202, or 208, or any
other provision that the Commission determines to be
necessary in order to ensure that the charges, practices,
classifications, or regulations for or in connection with
commercial mobile services are just and reasonable and are
not unjustly or unreasonably discriminatory or is otherwise
in the public interest.
``(B) Upon reasonable request of any person providing
commercial mobile service, the Commission shall order a
common carrier to establish physical connections with such
service pursuant to the provisions of section 201 of this
Act. Except to the extent that the Commission is required to
respond to such a request, this subparagraph shall not be
construed as a limitation or expansion of the Commission's
authority to order interconnection pursuant to this Act.
``(2) Noncommon carrier treatment of private land mobile
services.--A person engaged in private land mobile service
shall not, insofar as such person is so engaged, be treated
as a common carrier for any purpose under this Act. A common
carrier (other than a person that was treated as provider of
private land mobile services prior to the enactment of the
Licensing Improvement Act of 1993) shall not provide any
dispatch service on any frequency allocated for common
carrier service, except to the extent such dispatch service
is provided on stations licensed in the domestic public land
mobile radio service before January 1, 1982. The Commission
may by regulation terminate, in whole or in part, the
prohibition contained in the preceding sentence if the
Commission determines that such termination will serve the
public interest.
``(3) State authority to regulate.--(A) Notwithstanding
sections 2(b) and 221(b), no State or local government shall
have any authority to impose any rate or entry regulation
upon any commercial mobile service or any private land mobile
service, except that this paragraph shall not prohibit a
State from regulating the other terms and conditions of
commercial mobile services.
``(B) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), a State may
petition the Commission for authority to regulate the rates
for any commercial mobile service, and the Commission shall
grant such petition, if such State demonstrates that (i) such
service is a substitute for land line telephone exchange
service for a substantial portion of the public within such
State, or (ii) market conditions with respect to such
services fail to protect subscribers adequately from unjust
and unreasonable rates or rates that are unjustly or
unreasonably discriminatory. The Commission shall provide
reasonable opportunity for public comment in response to such
petition, and shall, within 9 months after the date of its
submission, grant or deny such petition. If the Commission
grants such petition, the Commission shall authorize the
State to exercise under State law such authority over rates,
for such periods of time, as the Commission deems necessary
to ensure that such rates are just and reasonable and not
unjustly or unreasonably discriminatory.
``(4) Regulatory treatment of communications satellite
corporation.--Nothing in this subsection shall be construed
to alter or affect the regulatory treatment required by title
IV of the Communications Satellite of 1962 of the corporation
authorized by title III of such Act.

CHAPTER 2--EMERGING TELECOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGIES
SEC. 5221. SHORT TITLE.
This chapter may be cited as the ``Emerging
Telecommunications Technologies Act of 1993''.
SEC. 5222. AMENDMENT TO THE NATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND
INFORMATION ADMINISTRATION ORGANIZATION ACT.
The National Telecommunications and Information
Administration Organization Act is amended--
(1) by striking the heading of part B and inserting the
following:
``PART D--SPECIAL AND TEMPORARY PROVISIONS'';
(3) by redesignating sections 131 through 135 as sections
151 through 155, respectively; and
(2) by inserting after part A the following new part:
``PART B--EMERGING TELECOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGIES
``SEC. 111. FINDINGS.
``The Congress finds that--
``(1) the Federal Government currently reserves for its own
use, or has priority of access to, approximately 40 percent
of the electromagnetic spectrum that is assigned for use
pursuant to the Communications Act of 1934;
``(2) many of such frequencies are underutilized by Federal
Government licensees;
``(3) the public interest requires that many of such
frequencies be utilized more efficiently by Federal
Government and non-Federal licensees;
``(4) additional frequencies are assigned for services that
could be obtained more efficiently from commercial carriers
or other vendors;
``(5) scarcity of assignable frequencies for licensing by
the Commission can and will--
``(A) impede the development and commercialization of new
telecommunications products and services;
``(B) limit the capacity and efficiency of the United
States telecommunications systems;
``(C) prevent some State and local police, fire, and
emergency services from obtaining urgently needed radio
channels; and
``(D) adversely affect the productive capacity and
international competitiveness of the United States economy;
``(6) a reassignment of these frequencies can produce
significant economic returns; and
``(7) the Secretary of Commerce, the President, and the
Federal Communications Commission should be directed to take
appropriate steps to correct these deficiencies.
``SEC. 112. NATIONAL SPECTRUM PLANNING.
``(a) Planning Activities.--The Assistant Secretary and the
Chairman of the Commission shall meet, at least biannually,
to conduct joint spectrum planning with respect to the
following issues--
``(1) the future spectrum requirements for public and
private uses, including State and local government public
safety agencies;
``(2) the spectrum allocation actions necessary to
accommodate those uses; and
``(3) actions necessary to promote the efficient use of the
spectrum, including spectrum management techniques to promote
increased shared use of the spectrum that does not cause
harmful interference as a means of increasing commercial
access.
``(b) Reports.--The Assistant Secretary and the Chairman of
the Commission shall submit a joint annual report to the
Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of
Representatives, the Committee on Commerce, Science, and
Transportation of the Senate, the Secretary, and the
Commission on the joint spectrum planning activities
conducted under subsection (a) and recommendations for action
developed pursuant to such activities.
``(c) Reporting Requirements.--The first annual report
submitted after the date of the report by the advisory
committee under section 113(d)(4) shall--
``(1) include an analysis of and response to that committee
report; and
``(2) include an analysis of the effect on spectrum
efficiency and the cost of equipment to Federal spectrum
users of maintaining separate allocations for Federal
Government and non-Federal Government licensees for the same
or similar services.
``SEC. 113. IDENTIFICATION OF REALLOCABLE FREQUENCIES.
``(a) Identification Required.--The Secretary shall, within
24 months after the date of the enactment of this part,
prepare and submit to the President and the Congress a report
identifying bands of frequencies that--
``(1) are allocated on a primary basis for Federal
Government use and eligible for licensing pursuant to section
305(a) of the Act (47 U.S.C. 305(a));
``(2) are not required for the present or identifiable
future needs of the Federal Government;
``(3) can feasibly be made available, as of the date of
submission of the report or at any time during the next 15
years, for use under the Act (other than for Federal
Government stations under such section 305);
``(4) will not result in costs to the Federal Government,
or losses of services or benefits to the public, that are
excessive in relation to the benefits that may be obtained by
non-Federal licensees; and
``(5) are most likely to have the greatest potential for
productive uses and public benefits under the Act.
``(b) Minimum Amount of Spectrum Recommended.--
``(1) In general.--Based on the report required by
subsection (a), the Secretary shall recommend for
reallocation, for use other than by Federal Government
stations under section 305 of the Act (47 U.S.C. 305), bands
of frequencies that span a total of not less than 200
megahertz, that are located below 6 gigahertz, and that meet
the criteria specified in paragraphs (1) through (4) of
subsection (a). The Secretary may not include, in such 200
megahertz, bands of frequencies that span more than 20
megahertz and that are located between 5 and 6 gigahertz. If
the report identifies (as meeting such criteria) bands of
frequencies spanning more than 200 megahertz, the report
shall identify and recommend for reallocation those bands
(spanning not less than 200 megahertz) that meet the criteria
specified in paragraph (5) of such subsection.
``(2) Mixed uses permitted to be counted.--Bands of
frequencies which the Secretary's report recommends be
partially retained for use by Federal Government stations,
but which are also recommended to be reallocated to be made
available under the Act for use by non-Federal stations, may
be counted toward the minimum spectrum required by paragraph
(1) of this subsection, except that--
``(A) the bands of frequencies counted under this paragraph
may not count toward more than one-half of the minimum
required by paragraph (1) of this subsection;
``(B) a band of frequencies may not be counted under this
paragraph unless the assignments of the band to Federal
Government stations under section 305 of the Act (47 U.S.C.
305) are limited by geographic area, by time, or by other
means so as to guarantee that the potential use to be made by
such Federal Government stations is substan-
[[Page 539]]
tially less (as measured by geographic area, time, or
otherwise) than the potential use to be made by non-Federal
stations; and
``(C) the operational sharing permitted under this
paragraph shall be subject to coordination procedures which
the Commission shall establish and implement to ensure
against harmful interference.
``(c) Criteria for Identification.--
``(1) Needs of the federal government.--In determining
whether a band of frequencies meets the criteria specified in
subsection (a)(2), the Secretary shall--
``(A) consider whether the band of frequencies is used to
provide a communications service that is or could be
available from a commercial carrier or other vendor;
``(B) seek to promote--
``(i) the maximum practicable reliance on commercially
available substitutes;
``(ii) the sharing of frequencies (as permitted under
subsection (b)(2));
``(iii) the development and use of new communications
technologies; and
``(iv) the use of nonradiating communications systems where
practicable; and
``(C) seek to avoid--
``(i) serious degradation of Federal Government services
and operations; and
``(ii) excessive costs to the Federal Government and users
of Federal Government services.
``(2) Feasibility of use.--In determining whether a
frequency band meets the criteria specified in subsection
(a)(3), the Secretary shall--
``(A) assume such frequencies will be assigned by the
Commission under section 303 of the Act (47 U.S.C. 303) over
the course of not less than 15 years;
``(B) assume reasonable rates of scientific progress and
growth of demand for telecommunications services;
``(C) determine the extent to which the reallocation or
reassignment will relieve actual or potential scarcity of
frequencies available for licensing by the Commission for
non-Federal use;
``(D) seek to include frequencies which can be used to
stimulate the development of new technologies; and
``(E) consider the immediate and recurring costs to
reestablish services displaced by the reallocation of
spectrum.
``(3) Analysis of benefits.--In determining whether a band
of frequencies meets the criteria specified in subsection
(a)(4), the Secretary shall consider--
``(A) the extent to which equipment is or will be available
that is capable of utilizing the band;
``(B) the proximity of frequencies that are already
assigned for commercial or other non-Federal use; and
``(C) the activities of foreign governments in making
frequencies available for experimentation or commercial
assignments in order to support their domestic manufacturers
of equipment.
``(4) Power agency frequencies.--
``(A) Eligible for mixed use only.--The frequencies
assigned to any Federal power agency may only be eligible for
mixed use under subsection (b)(2) in geographically separate
areas and shall not be recommended for the purposes of
withdrawing that assignment. In any case where a frequency is
to be shared by an affected Federal power agency and a non-
Federal user, such use by the non-Federal user shall,
consistent with the procedures established under subsection
(b)(2)(C), not cause harmful interference to the affected
Federal power agency or adversely affect the reliability of
its power system.
``(B) Definition.--As used in this paragraph, the term
`Federal power agency' means the Tennessee Valley Authority,
the Bonneville Power Administration, the Western Area Power
Administration, or the Southwestern Power Administration.
``(d) Procedure for Identification of Reallocable Bands of
Frequencies.--
``(1) Submission of preliminary identification to
congress.--Within 12 months after the date of the enactment
of this part, the Secretary shall prepare and submit to the
Congress a report which makes a preliminary identification of
reallocable bands of frequencies which meet the criteria
established by this section.
``(2) Convening of advisory committee.--Not later than the
date the Secretary submits the report required by paragraph
(1), the Secretary shall convene an advisory committee to--
``(A) review the bands of frequencies identified in such
report;
``(B) advise the Secretary with respect to (i) the bands of
frequencies which should be included in the final report
required by subsection (a), and (ii) the effective dates
which should be established under subsection (e) with respect
to such frequencies;
``(C) receive public comment on the Secretary's report and
on the final report; and
``(D) prepare and submit the report required by paragraph
(4).
The advisory committee shall meet at least monthly until each
of the actions required by section 114(a) have taken place.
``(3) Composition of committee; chairman.--The advisory
committee shall include--
``(A) the Chairman of the Commission and the Assistant
Secretary, and one other representative of the Federal
Government as designated by the Secretary; and
``(B) representatives of--
``(i) United States manufacturers of spectrum-dependent
telecommunications equipment;
``(ii) commercial carriers;
``(iii) other users of the electromagnetic spectrum,
including radio and television broadcast licensees, State and
local public safety agencies, and the aviation industry; and
``(iv) other interested members of the public who are
knowledgeable about the uses of the electromagnetic spectrum.
A majority of the members of the committee shall be members
described in subparagraph (B), and one of such members shall
be designated as chairman by the Secretary.
``(4) Recommendations on spectrum allocation procedures.--
The advisory committee shall, not later than 36 months after
the date of the enactment of this part, submit to the
Secretary, the Commission, the Committee on Energy and
Commerce of the House of Representatives, and the Committee
on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate, a
report containing such recommendations as the advisory
committee considers appropriate for the reform of the process
of allocating the electromagnetic spectrum between Federal
and non-Federal use, and any dissenting views thereon.
``(e) Timetable for Reallocation and Limitation.--
``(1) Timetable required.--The Secretary shall, as part of
the report required by subsection (a), include a timetable
that recommends immediate and delayed effective dates by
which the President shall withdraw or limit assignments on
the frequencies specified in the report.
``(2) Expedited reallocation of initial 30 mhz permitted.--
The Secretary may prepare and submit to the President a
report which specifically identifies an initial 30 megahertz
of spectrum that meets the criteria described in subsection
(a) and that can be made available for reallocation
immediately upon issuance of the report required by this
section.
``(3) Delayed effective date.--The recommended delayed
effective dates shall--
``(A) permit the earliest possible reallocation of the
frequency bands, taking into account the requirements of
section 115(1);
``(B) be based on the useful remaining life of equipment
that has been purchased or contracted for to operate on
identified frequencies;
``(C) be based on the need to coordinate frequency use with
other nations; and
``(D) take into account the relationship between the costs
to the Federal Government of changing to different
frequencies and the benefits that may be obtained from
commercial and other non-Federal uses of the reassigned
frequencies.
``SEC. 114. WITHDRAWAL OF ASSIGNMENT TO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
STATIONS.
``(a) In General.--The President shall--
``(1) within 6 months after receipt of the Secretary's
report under section 113(a), withdraw the assignment to a
Federal Government station of any frequency which the report
recommends for immediate reallocation;
``(2) within such 6-month period, limit the assignment to a
Federal Government station of any frequency which the report
recommends be made immediately available for mixed use under
section 113(b)(2);
``(3) by the delayed effective date recommended by the
Secretary under section 113(e) (except as provided in
subsection (b)(4) of this section), withdraw or limit the
assignment to a Federal Government station of any frequency
which the report recommends be reallocated or made available
for mixed use on such delayed effective date;
``(4) assign or reassign other frequencies to Federal
Government stations as necessary to adjust to such withdrawal
or limitation of assignments; and
``(5) transmit a notice and description to the Commission
and each House of Congress of the actions taken under this
subsection.
``(b) Exceptions.--
``(1) Authority to substitute.--If the President determines
that a circumstance described in paragraph (2) exists, the
President--
``(A) may substitute an alternative frequency or band of
frequencies for the frequency or band that is subject to such
determination and withdraw (or limit) the assignment of that
alternative frequency or band in the manner required by
subsection (a); and
``(B) shall submit a statement of the reasons for taking
the action described in subparagraph (A) to the Committee on
Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives and the
Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the
Senate.
``(2) Grounds for substitution.--For purposes of paragraph
(1), the following circumstances are described in this

``(4) Delays in implementation.--If the President
determines that any action cannot
[[Page 540]]
be completed by the delayed effective date recommended by the
Secretary pursuant to section 113(e), or that such an action
by such date would result in a frequency being unused as a
consequence of the Commission's plan under section 115, the
President may--
``(A) withdraw or limit the assignment to Federal
Government stations on a later date that is consistent with
such plan, except that the President shall notify each
committee specified in paragraph (1)(B) and the Commission of
the reason that withdrawal or limitation at a later date is
required; or
``(B) substitute alternative frequencies pursuant to the
provisions of this subsection.
``(c) Limitation on Delegation.--Notwithstanding any other
provision of law, the authorities and duties established by
this section may not be delegated.
``SEC. 115. DISTRIBUTION OF FREQUENCIES BY THE COMMISSION.

become its property. All rights of the depositor against the
appropriate State with respect to such deposit shall be
barred as of the date of the refund to the Corporation.
``(6) Definitions.--For purposes of this subsection--
``(A) the term `transferee institution' means the insured
depository institution in which the Corporation has made
available a transferred deposit pursuant to section 11(f)(1);
``(B) the term `appropriate State' means the State to which
notice was mailed under paragraph (1)(C), except that if the
notice was not mailed to an address that is within a State it
shall mean the State in which the depository institution in
default has its main office; and
``(C) the term `United States deposit' means an insured or
transferred deposit for which the deposit records of the
depository institution in default disclose that title to the
deposit is held by the United States, any department, agency,
or instrumentality of the Federal Government, or any officer
or
[[Page 592]]
employee thereof in such person's official capacity.''.

the period between January 1, 1989 and the date of enactment

of enactment of this Act, the Corporation shall provide, at
the request of and for the sole use of any State, the name

culture, and policies;
Whereas the Voice of America's charter calls upon it to
provide consistently reliable and authoritative news,
balanced and comprehensive information about the United
States, and official pronouncements of the United States
Government;
Whereas the Voice of America broadcasts are not directed to
audiences in the United States, so that most Americans have
no first-hand knowledge of the professionalism and patriotism
that are the hallmark of such broadcasts;
Whereas the Voice of America tells America's story to the
world on a daily basis, not only in terms of news and
politics and policy, but also by reflecting the complexity,
diversity, and excellence of American art and culture;
Whereas chief among our Nation's indigenous art forms is
jazz;
Whereas since 1955, Willis Conover of Voice of America has
been broadcasting the best of American jazz to millions
around the world;
Whereas during that time, the music of Duke Ellington,
Charlie Parker, Ella Fitzgerald, Benny Goodman, Dizzy
Gillespie, and other great American artists, broadcast by Mr.
Conover, have come to symbolize the freedom and creativity of
democracy for those denied freedom; and
Whereas Mr. Conover has said ``Jazz is a liberating kind of
music . . . every emotion--love, anger, joy, sadness--can be
communicated with the vitality and spirit that characterizes
our country at its best--which is of course the same freedom
that people everywhere should enjoy.'': Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives applauds the
Voice of America for disseminating the very best of American
culture to those in other lands, exemplified in the work of
Willis Conover who for thirty-eight years has made a unique
and important contribution to the cause of international
understanding and good will.

Mr. McDERMOTT, Chairman of the Committee of the Whole, resumed the
chair; and after some time spent therein,
Para. 69.9 recorded vote
A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of
the Whole on the following substitute amendment submitted by Mr.
HAMILTON for the amendment submitted by Mr. GILMAN:
Substitute amendment submitted by Mr. HAMILTON:
Page 7, after line 25, insert the following:
SEC. 103. ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE REFORM.
(a) Basic Objectives.--Section 102 of the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961 is amended to read as follows:
[[Page 623]]
``SEC. 102. BASIC OBJECTIVES OF ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
AND UNITED STATES DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION
POLICY.
``(a) Four Basic Objectives.--The primary purpose of United
States economic assistance is the promotion of broad based,
sustainable, participatory development, with particular focus
on the poor. In pursuit of that purpose, economic assistance
programs to the extent specified in this Act, and United
States economic cooperation policy generally, shall have the
following four basic objectives, which are interrelated and
mutually reinforcing:
``(1) Sustainable economic growth.--Promotion of broad
based economic growth.
``(2) Sustainable resource management.--Improvement of
resource management designed to bring about environmentally
and economically sustainable patterns of development.
``(3) Poverty alleviation.--Alleviation of the worst
manifestations of poverty through the development of human
resource capacity.
``(4) Democracy.--Promotion of democracy, respect for human
rights, and social and economic pluralism.
``(b) Sustainable Economic Growth.--
``(1) Rationale.--Broad based, sustainable economic growth
is in the interest of the United States because it permits
countries to progress toward economic self-reliance, to
improve the living standards of their citizens, and to
increase international markets for trade and investment.
Market-oriented economic growth establishes the basis for
sustainable development and reinforces democratic ideals and
practices. Successful long-term development cannot occur
without broad based, sustainable economic growth that enables
the poor to increase their incomes and access to productive
resources and services so that they can satisfy their basic
needs and lead lives of decency, dignity, and hope.
``(2) Elaboration on objective.--(A) Implementation of the
objective of promoting broad based economic growth should
recognize that economic, social, political, and environmental
conditions vary among countries. While taking account of such
differences, the economic assistance programs carried out in
furtherance of the four basic objectives set forth in this
section shall emphasize the following principles:
``(i) Security of economic rights for all citizens without
regard to sex, race, religion, language, or social status,
including the right to own property, the right to fair return
from one's labor, and the right to engage in productive use
of available assets.
``(ii) Economic policies based on free market principles as
a means for establishing prices and for allocating goods and
services.
``(iii) Economic reforms that benefit or are sensitive to
and minimize adverse impact on the poor.
``(iv) Market base reforms--deregulation, privatization,
labor market reform, reduction in barriers to the free flow
of trade and investment--which increase the opportunity for
all, especially, the poor, to participate in economic
activity.
``(v) Government policies protecting economic rights, fair
and open markets, and the fulfillment of basic human needs.
``(vi) Adherence by governments to international economic
agreements, particularly those relating to free and fair
trade practices and to respect for worker rights.
``(B) A primary test of the effectiveness of economic
assistance programs designed to promote broad based economic
growth is the extent to which the poor and disenfranchised
can participate in and benefit from these programs and are
thereby brought into the development process.
``(c) Sustainable Resource Management.--
``(1) Rationale.--The economic and social well-being and
the security of the United States and other countries are
affected by how the world's environment and physical resource
base are managed. Consumption patterns, systems of industrial
and agricultural production, demographic trends, and the
manner of use of natural resources all impact on the
opportunities for long-term development and growth and
survival for all countries. Both developed and developing
countries share responsibility for the rational and
sustainable management of natural resources. Responsible
management of physical resources is necessary to insure the
availability of resources for future generations and to
assure that the burdens of improved resource management do
not fall disproportionately on the poor.
``(2) Elaboration of objective.--(A) Sustainable
development is development that meets the needs of the
present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs. Economic assistance
programs authorized by this title should assist countries to
adopt policies and programs that promote ecologically sound
patterns of growth. Improved resource management tailored to
the conditions and capabilities of the particular developing
countries should be an integral part of all planning,
programming, and reporting activities with respect to
economic assistance.
``(B) Sustainable resource management should be promoted
through research and through the establishment and
implementation of public policies and programs that provide
incentives for better long-term management of resources and
private and public investment toward resource-conserving
technologies of production in energy, agricultural, and
industrial production. To achieve this objective will entail,
among other things--
``(i) more efficient and resource-conserving systems of
sustainable agricultural production, with special emphasis on
rain-fed agriculture, maintenance of soil structure and
fertility, and minimization of soil erosion and soil and
water contamination;
``(ii) adoption of appropriate use of fertilizer and
pesticides;
``(iii) greater attention to forestry management for
sustainable yields, agroforestry, reforestation, and
watershed conservation, including better resource monitoring
and assessment systems;
``(iv) improved water use management, including watershed
protection, sustainable and efficient irrigation projects,
and efforts to reduce costs and improve delivery of potable
water and sanitation systems for both urban and rural areas;
``(v) more systematic collection, preservation, and sharing
of original and evolved plant and animal genetic material,
including preservation of ecosystems and natural habitats;
``(vi) attention to more efficient management of existing
energy systems, to the promotion of increased use of least-
cost energy resource planning procedures, and to the
development of economically viable and more efficient systems
of energy production and consumption that seek to maximize
resource conservation;
``(vii) attention to resource conserving systems of urban
development and industrialization that make efficient use of
energy and natural resources, minimize the adverse effects of
air and water pollution, facilitate safe waste disposal,
including toxic wastes, and provide for improved
environmental health and safety of the urban and surrounding
rural populations;
``(viii) efforts to analyze and to reduce man-made
contributions to changes in the global climate, including
factors that may be contributing to global warming in the
Earth's atmosphere; and
``(ix) greater attention to the relationships among
demographic pressures, poverty, and environmental
degradation.
``(C) Growth that is not environmentally sustainable cannot
be economically sustainable in the long run. Improved
resource management is a critical element of a balanced
pattern of development.
``(d) Poverty Alleviation.--
``(1) Rationale.--It is in the interest of the United
States to assist developing countries to achieve patterns of
growth and development that will measurably and sustainably,
alleviate the worst manifestations of poverty in rural and
urban areas and allow all people, especially those with low
incomes, to lead economically and socially productive lives.
As a people endowed with a spirit of humanitarian generosity,
United States citizens have long demonstrated a moral
imperative to help those in need. Further, peace and
stability in the world cannot be achieved without economic
development that also alleviates the worst manifestations of
poverty.
``(2) Elaboration of objective.--(A) Broad based economic
growth is necessary for the alleviation of the worst
manifestations of poverty. Conversely, neither growth nor the
alleviation of poverty can be sustained unless all people,
especially the poor, have the basic assets and capabilities
that foster the exercise of choice and participation in the
economic, social, and political life of the country. Women,
female children, and children of poor people have been
especially disadvantaged in their access to these assets.
Governments, together with nongovernmental organizations and
international and multilateral organizations, should give
special attention to alleviating the worst manifestations of
poverty among these groups. Long-term poverty alleviation
depends on patterns of broad based economic growth and the
productivity generated by investments in the expansion of
human well-being, capacity, and choice.
``(B) To achieve the objective of alleviating the worst
manifestations of poverty will entail, among other things--
``(i) the expansion of education to all segments of the
society, with particular attention to universal access to
basic education, to sustainable improvement in the quality
and diversity of educational opportunity, and to female
education at all age levels;
``(ii) improvement in coverage, quality, and sustainability
of health services, with special emphasis on universal access
to primary health care, epidemiological detection and
prevention programs, and sustainable systems of health care
for mothers and children;
``(iii) a consistent program of support for systematic
expansion of voluntary family planning services, with special
emphasis on the role of the private voluntary and commercial
sectors as providers of such services and on the development
of more effective, acceptable family planning technologies
appropriate to the conditions of developing countries;
``(iv) support for activities that enhance secure access of
all to adequate food and nutrition derived from sustainable
agricultural production, including the effectiveness and
development contribution of food assistance made available
under the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act
of 1954 and other food assistance programs; and
``(v) support for activities that enhance universal access
to safe drinking water, basic sanitation, and basic shelter
necessary for health.
``(e) Democracy.--
``(1) Rationale.--The promotion of democracy throughout the
world is in the basic in-
[[Page 624]]
terest of the United States. Democratic development,
political pluralism, and respect for internationally
recognized human rights are intrinsically linked to economic
and social progress. Democracy can only be sustained in a
society in which the legitimacy of the government rests
firmly on the expressed consent of the governed; the rights
of all citizens, including minorities, are respected and
protected; and there is effective civilian control over the
military and security forces. It is in the interest of the
United States and in keeping with our democratic traditions
to support democratic aspirations and values, foster the
spread of democratic institutions, and encourage universal
respect for civil and political liberties.
``(2) Elaboration on objective.--(A) Furtherance of the
basic objective of democracy requires that the United States
promote--
``(i) the ability of all citizens of a country to organize
and associate freely and independently of the government;
``(ii) the ability of all citizens to freely choose their
government, to hold that government accountable, and to
participate in political life;
``(iii) increased respect for internationally recognized
human rights and the rule of law;
``(iv) respect for the diversity among the citizens of a
country; and
``(v) acceptance of and respect for civilian authority by
all elements of society.
``(B) An essential ingredient of development is the growth
of indigenous nongovernmental organizations that are
committed to democratic values and active in the promotion of
democracy. United States efforts to foster democratic
pluralism and build democratic institutions are most likely
to create enduring bounds of democratic cooperation when
United States nongovernmental organizations are involved in
strengthening the capacity of nongovernmental organizations
in other countries.
``(C) Democracy requires honest and open participatory
government. United States assistance should help governments
to establish processes of accountability and transparency to
eliminate corruption and abuses of power and assist
nongovernmental organizations to develop the capability to
monitor the government's performance.
``(D) With regard to economic assistance under this Act or
the Support for East European Democracy (SEED) Act of 1989
for countries that are in transition from communism to
democracy, it shall be the policy of the United States, to
the extent feasible, to provide assistance directly to
democratically elected governments of states whose
incorporation into the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
has never been recognized by the United States: Provided,
That economic assistance to Yugoslavia otherwise authorized
by law shall not be prohibited as a consequence of this
provision. As used in this subparagraph, the term
`democratically elected' means elected through open, free,
and fair elections. Nothing in this paragraph shall be
construed to preclude assistance to agencies of such federal
governments that promote democratic reforms, human rights,
the rule of law, and/or market oriented reforms, provided
that funds are not provided directly to any such agency.
``(f) Effective Uses of Assistance.--
``(1) Beneficiary countries.--Assistance furnished under
this title should be concentrated in countries that will make
the most effective use of that assistance in promoting the
four basic objectives set forth in subsection (a).
``(2) Assistance within countries.--Activities should be
undertaken in regions of recipient countries that offer
potential for successful development and should not be
undertaken if the relevant sector or national economic
policies of the country are clearly unfavorable to the
sustainability or broadest possible impact of the assisted
program or project.
``(3) Types of activities.--Assistance should focus on
those types of activities that the United States can provide
most effectively.''.
(b) Repeal of Development Assistance Authorities.--
Effective October 1, 1995, sections 103 through 107 of the
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 are repealed.
Amendment submitted by Mr. GILMAN:
Page 3, after line 18, insert the following:
(c) Elements of Reform Plan.--The plan submitted pursuant
to subsection (b) shall include the following elements:
(1) Principal objectives.--All United States economic
assistance shall have as principal objectives the following 4
elements of sustainable development, which are interrelated
and mutually reinforcing:
(A) Economic opportunities.--Expanding economic
opportunities for all women and men, especially the poor, to
increase their productivity, earning capacity, and income in
ways that do not harm the environment.
(B) Basic human needs.--Meeting the basic human needs for
food, clean water, shelter, health care, and education
necessary for all people to be productive and to improve
their quality of life.
(C) Environmental protection and sustainable use of natural
resources.--Promoting environmental protection and
sustainable use of land, water, forests, and other natural
resources, taking into account the needs of present and
future generations.
(D) Pluralism, democratic participation, and human
rights.--Promoting pluralism, democratic participation in
economic and political decisions that affect people's lives
(especially participation by poor men and women), and respect
for human and civil rights, of females and indigenous
peoples.
(2) Countries in default on repayment of foreign assistance
loans.--The plan shall provide that a country that is in
default for a period of more than 3 months on its payments of
principal or interest on any foreign assistance loan shall be
ineligible to receive foreign assistance.
(3) Increased procurement of united states goods and
services.--The plan shall propose an increase in the amount
of funds provided for the procurement of United States goods
and services through tied-aid and other programs.
(4) Reporting requirements.--The plan shall identify and
propose the elimination of obsolete, unnecessary, or
burdensome reporting requirements.
(5) Reduction in number of economic assistance
recipients.--The plan shall provide for a reduction in the
number of countries receiving development and other economic
assistance to 50, such reduction to be consistent with the
objectives specified in paragraph (1) and focused to take
advantage of United States comparative advantage as an
assistance donor, for example its technical assistance
capabilities.
(d) Abolition of AID.--The Agency for International
Development shall cease to exist as of the close of business
on September 30, 1994.

So the amendment was not agreed to.
After some further time,
Para. 69.15 recorded vote
A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of
the Whole on the following amendment submitted by Mr. BURTON:
Page 48, after line 25, add the following.:
SEC. 319. PROHIBITION OF DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE TO INDIA
UNLESS CERTAIN SPECIAL OR PREVENTIVE DETENTION
LAWS REPEALED.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) each year, in both Jammu and Kashmir and the Punjab,
the Government of India detains thousands of persons under
special or preventive detention laws without informing them
of the charges against them;
(2) most of these detainees are political prisoners,
including prisoners of conscience;
(3) they are often detained for several months and
sometimes even more than a year;
(4) detainees are not permitted any contact with lawyers or
family members unless they are remanded to judicial custody
and transferred to prison, and only then if the family on its
own is able to locate the detainee;
(5) in most cases, these persons are detained under the
Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act of 1987,
the National Security Act of 1980, and the Jammu and Kashmir
Public Safety Act of 1978;
(6) the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention)
Act of 1987 authorizes administrative detention without
formal charge or trial for up to 1 year for investigation of
suspected ``terrorist'' or broadly defined ``disruptive''
activities;
(7) the 1-year period of permissible detention before trial
violates Article 9 of the International Covenant on Civil and
Political Rights, to which India is a party;
(8) Article 9 of such International Covenant provides,
``Anyone arrested or detained on a criminal charge shall be
brought promptly before a judge or other officer authorized
by law to exercise judicial power and shall be entitled to
trial within a reasonable time or to release.'';
(9) under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities
(Prevention) Act of 1987, all proceedings before a designate
court must be conducted in secret ``at any place other than .
. . [the court's] . . . ordinary place of sitting'';
(10) section 16(2) of such Act permits the designated court
to keep the ``identity and address of any witness secret'';
(11) under such Act, a confession to a senior police
officer can be admitted as evidence if there is reason to
believe it was made voluntarily;
(12) such Act amends India's criminal code, which prohibits
such confessions, and substantially increases the risk of
torture;
(13) such Act reverses the presumption of innocence,
placing the burden on the accused to prove that he or she is
not guilty;
(14) the National Security Act of 1980 permits the
detention of persons without charge or trial for up to 1 year
in order to prevent them from acting in a manner prejudicial
to the security of the state, the maintenance of public
order, the maintenance of supplies and services essential to
the community, or relations with a foreign power;
(15) such Act was amended to permit 2 years detention in
the Punjab;
(16) under such Act, India may detain any person engaged in
behavior ``prejudicial to the defense of India, the relations
of India with foreign powers, or the security of India'';
(17) the Jammu and Kashmir Public Safety Act of 1978
empowers India to detain persons without trial for up to 1
year for a broad range of activities, including ``promoting,
propagating, or attempting to create, feelings of enmity or
hatred or disharmony on grounds of religion, race, community,
or region'';
(18) the Armed Forces (Punjab and Chandigarh) Special
Powers Act of 1983 and the Armed Forces (Jammu and Kashmir)
Special Powers Act of 1990 empower Indian security forces to
search homes without warrant, to make arrests without
warrant, to destroy the ``hideouts'' of suspected terrorists,
and to shoot to kill with immunity from persecution;
(19) Indian security forces routinely employ methods of
torture, beatings, and threats to induce detainees to sign
statements of confession and to identify suspected militants;
(20) the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention)
Act of 1987, the National Security Act of 1980, the Jammu and
Kashmire Public Safety Act of 1978, the Armed Forces (Punjab
and Chandigarh) Special Powers Act of 1983, and the Armed
Forces (Jammu and Kashmir) Special Powers Act of 1990
facilitate human rights abuses by suspending ordinary
safeguards against arbitrary arrest, incommunicado detention,
and torture; and
(21) these 5 laws are incompatible with the principles of a
modern democracy.
(b) Prohibition of Development Assistance.--
(1) Report.--Not later than 60 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the President shall report to the
Congress whether the Government of India has repealed all of
the laws specified in paragraph (4).
(2) Prohibition of assistance.--If the President reports to
Congress, either pursuant to paragraph (1) or at any other
time, that the Government of India has not repealed all of
the laws specified in paragraph (4), the President may not
provide assistance for India under chapter 1 of part I of the
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (relating to development
assistance).
(3) Resumption of Assistance.--Assistance terminated
pursuant to paragraph (2) may be resumed only if the
President reports to Congress that the Government of India
has repealed all of the laws specified in paragraph (4).
(4) Special and preventive detention laws.--The laws
referred to in this paragraph are the Terrorist and
Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act of 1987, the National
Security Act of 1980, the Jammu and Kashmir Public Safety Act
of 1978, the Armed Forces (Punjab and Chandigarh) Special
Powers Act of 1983, and the Armed Forces (Jammu and Kashmir)
Special Powers Act of 1990.

After some further time,
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, assumed the Chair.
When Mr. McDERMOTT, Chairman, pursuant to House Resolution 197,
reported the bill back to the House with sundry amendments adopted by
the Committee.
The previous question having been ordered by said resolution.
Mr. KOLBE demanded a separate vote on the amendment on page 7, after

The following remaining amendments, reported from the Committee of the
Whole House on the state of the Union were then agreed to:
Page 11, after line 24, insert the following:
(f) Reduction in Authorizations.--The amount appropriated
for fiscal year 1994 pursuant to the authorizations of
appropriation in this title may not exceed the amount which
is $360,000,000 less than the sum of the specified
authorization amounts for that fiscal year.
Page 40, after line 6, insert the following new paragraph:
(2) Congressional policy statement.--It is the sense of the
Congress that--
(A) the President should encourage those independent states
of the former Soviet Union capable of providing eventual
reimbursement to the United States for assistance provided to
such states under chapter 11 of part I of the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961 to enter into negotiations with the
United States to reach agreements outlining such eventual
reimbursement; and
(B) at least $744,115,000 of the amounts appropriated
pursuant to the authorization of appropriations in section
1201(a)(8) of this Act for assistance for the independent
states of the former Soviet Union for fiscal year 1994 should
be obligated only under the terms of agreements providing for
eventual reimbursement of such assistance.

Page 70, after line 17, add the following:
SEC. 510. PROHIBITION ON SECURITY ASSISTANCE TO COUNTRIES
THAT CONSISTENTLY OPPOSE THE UNITED STATES
POSITION IN THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL
ASSEMBLY.
(a) Prohibition.--Security assistance may not be provided
to a country that consistently opposed the United States
position in the United Nations General Assembly during the
most recent session of the General Assembly.
(b) Change in Government.--If--
(1) the Secretary of State determines that, since the
beginning of the most recent session of the General Assembly,
there has been a fundamental change in the leadership and
policies of the government of a country to which the
prohibition in subsection (a) applies, and
(2) the Secretary believes that because of that change the
government of that country will no longer consistently oppose
the United States position in the General Assembly,
the Secretary may submit to the Congress a request that the
Congress enact an exemption from that prohibition for that
country. Any such exemption shall be effective only until
submission of the next report under section 406 of the
Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1990 and
1991. Any request for such an exemption shall be accompanied
by a discussion of the basis for the Secretary's
determination and belief.
(c) Waiver Authority.--The Secretary of State may waive the
requirement of subsection (a) if the Secretary determines and
reports to the Congress that despite the United Nations
voting pattern of a particular country, the provision of

[[Page 628]]
SEC. 103. ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE REFORM.
(a) Basic Objectives.--Section 102 of the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961 is amended to read as follows:
``SEC. 102. BASIC OBJECTIVES OF ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
AND UNITED STATES DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION
POLICY.
``(a) Four Basic Objectives.--The primary purpose of United
States economic assistance is the promotion of broad based,
sustainable, participatory development, with particular focus
on the poor. In pursuit of that purpose, economic assistance
programs to the extent specified in this Act, and United
States economic cooperation policy generally, shall have the
following four basic objectives, which are interrelated and
mutually reinforcing:
``(1) Sustainable economic growth.--Promotion of broad
based economic growth.
``(2) Sustainable resource management.--Improvement of
resource management designed to bring about environmentally
and economically sustainable patterns of development.
``(3) Poverty alleviation.--Alleviation of the worst
manifestations of poverty through the development of human
resource capacity.
``(4) Democracy.--Promotion of democracy, respect for human
rights, and social and economic pluralism.
``(b) Sustainable Economic Growth.--
``(1) Rationale.--Broad based, sustainable economic growth
is in the interest of the United States because it permits
countries to progress toward economic self-reliance, to
improve the living standards of their citizens, and to
increase international markets for trade and investment.
Market-oriented economic growth establishes the basis for
sustainable development and reinforces democratic ideals and
practices. Successful long-term development cannot occur
without broad based, sustainable economic growth that enables
the poor to increase their incomes and access to productive
resources and services so that they can satisfy their basic
needs and lead lives of decency, dignity, and hope.
``(2) Elaboration on objective.--(A) Implementation of the
objective of promoting broad based economic growth should
recognize that economic, social, political, and environmental
conditions vary among countries. While taking account of such
differences, the economic assistance programs carried out in
furtherance of the four basic objectives set forth in this
section shall emphasize the following principles:
``(i) Security of economic rights for all citizens without
regard to sex, race, religion, language, or social status,
including the right to own property, the right to fair return
from one's labor, and the right to engage in productive use
of available assets.
(ii) Economic policies based on free market principles as a
means for establishing prices and for allocating goods and
services.
(iii) Economic reforms that benefit or are sensitive to and
minimize adverse impact on the poor.
``(iv) Market base reforms--deregulation, privatization,
labor market reform, reduction in barriers to the free flow
of trade and investment--which increase the opportunity for
all, especially the poor, to participate in economic
activity.
``(v) Government policies protecting economic rights, fair
and open markets, and the fulfillment of basic human needs.
``(vi) Adherence by governments to international economic
agreements, particularly those relating to free and fair
trade practices and to respect for worker rights.
``(B) A primary test of the effectiveness of economic
assistance programs designed to promote broad based economic
growth is the extent to which the poor and disenfranchised
can participate in and benefit from these programs and are
thereby brought into the development process.
``(c) Sustainable Resource Management.--
``(1) Rationale.--The economic and social well-being and
the security of the United States and other countries are
affected by how the world's environment and physical resource
base are managed. Consumption patterns, systems of industrial
and agricultural production, demographic trends, and the
manner of use of natural resources all impact on the
opportunities for long-term development and growth and
survival for all countries. Both developed and developing
countries share responsibility for the rational and
sustainable management of natural resources. Responsible
management of physical resources is necessary to insure the
availability of resources for future generations and to
assure that the burdens of improved resource management do
not fall disproportionately on the poor.
``(2) Elaboration of objective.--(A) Sustainable
development is development that meets the needs of the
present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs. Economic assistance
programs authorized by this title should assist countries to
adopt policies and programs that promote ecologically sound
patterns of growth. Improved resource management tailored to
the conditions and capabilities of the particular developing
countries should be an integral part of all planning,
programming, and reporting activities with respect to
economic assistance.
``(B) Sustainable resource management should be promoted
through research and through the establishment and
implementation of public policies and programs that provide
incentives for better long-term management of resources and
private and public investment toward resource-conserving
technologies of production in energy, agricultural, and
industrial production. To achieve this objective will entail,
among other things--
``(i) more efficient and resource-conserving systems of
sustainable agricultural production, with special emphasis on
rain-fed agriculture, maintenance of soil structure and
fertility, and minimization of soil erosion and soil and
water contamination;
``(ii) adoption of appropriate use of fertilizer and
pesticides;
``(iii) greater attention to forestry management for
sustainable yields, agroforestry, reforestation, and
watershed conservation, including better resource monitoring
and assessment systems;
``(iv) improved water use management, including watershed
protection, sustainable and efficient irrigation projects,
and efforts to reduce costs and improve delivery of potable
water and sanitation systems for both urban and rural areas;
``(v) more systematic collection, preservation, and sharing
of original and evolved plant and animal genetic material,
including preservation of ecosystems and natural habitats;
``(vi) attention to more efficient management of existing
energy systems, to the promotion of increased use of least-
cost energy resource planning procedures, and to the
development of economically viable and more efficient systems
of energy production and consumption that seek to maximize
resource conservation;
``(vii) attention to resource conserving systems of urban
development and industrialization that make efficient use of
energy and natural resources, minimize the adverse effects of
air and water pollution, facilitate safe waste disposal,
including toxic wastes, and provide for improved
environmental health and safety of the urban and surrounding
rural populations;
``(viii) efforts to analyze and to reduce man-made
contributions to changes in the global climate, including
factors that may be contributing to global warming in the
Earth's atmosphere; and
``(ix) greater attention to the relationships among
demographic pressures, poverty, and environmental
degradation.
``(C) Growth that is not environmentally sustainable cannot
be economically sustainable in the long run. Improved
resource management is a critical element of a balanced
pattern of development.
``(d) Poverty Alleviation.--
``(1) Rationale.--It is in the interest of the United
States to assist developing countries to achieve patterns of
growth and development that will measurably and sustainably
alleviate the worst manifestations of poverty in rural and
urban areas and allow all people, especially those with low
incomes, to lead economically and socially productive lives.
As a people endowed with a spirit of humanitarian generosity,
United States citizens have long demonstrated a moral
imperative to help those in need. Further, peace and
stability in the world cannot be achieved without economic
development that also alleviates the worst manifestations of
poverty.
``(2) Elaboration of objective.--(A) Broad based economic
growth is necessary for the alleviation of the worst
manifestations of poverty. Conversely, neither growth nor the
alleviation of poverty can be sustained unless all people,
especially the poor, have the basic assets and capabilities
that foster the exercise of choice and participation in the
economic, social, and political life of the country. Women,
female children, and children of poor people have been
especially disadvantaged in their access to these assets.
Governments, together with nongovernmental organizations and
international and multilateral organizations, should give
special attention to alleviating the worst manifestations of
poverty among these groups. Long-term poverty alleviation
depends on patterns of broad based economic growth and the
productivity generated by investments in the expansion of
human well-being, capacity, and choice.
``(B) To achieve the objective of alleviating the worst
manifestations of poverty will entail, among other things--
``(i) the expansion of education to all segments of the
society, with particular attention to universal access to
basic education, to sustainable improvement in the quality
and diversity of educational opportunity, and to female
education at all age levels;
``(ii) improvement in coverage, quality, and sustainability
of health services, with special emphasis on universal access
to primary health care, epidemiological detection and
prevention programs, and sustainable systems of health care
for mothers and children;
``(iii) a consistent program of support for systematic
expansion of voluntary family planning services, with special
emphasis on the role of the private voluntary and commercial
sectors as providers of such services and on the development
of more effective, acceptable family planning technologies
appropriate to the conditions of developing countries;
``(iv) support for activities that enhance secure access of
all to adequate food and nutrition derived from sustainable
agricultural production, including the effectiveness and
development contribution of food assistance made available
under the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act
of 1954 and other food assistance programs; and
``(v) support for activities that enhance universal access
to safe drinking water, basic sanitation, and basic shelter
necessary for health.
[[Page 629]]
``(e) Democracy.--
``(1) Rationale.--The promotion of democracy throughout the
world is in the basic interest of the United States.
Democratic development, political pluralism, and respect for
internationally recognized human rights are intrinsically
linked to economic and social progress. Democracy can only be
sustained in a society in which the legitimacy of the
government rests firmly on the expressed consent of the
governed; the rights of all citizens, including minorities,
are respected and protected; and there is effective civilian
control over the military and security forces. It is in the
interest of the United States and in keeping with our
democratic traditions to support democratic aspirations and
values, foster the spread of democratic institutions, and
encourage universal respect for civil and political
liberties.
``(2) Elaboration on objective.--(A) Furtherance of the
basic objective of democracy requires that the United States
promote--
``(i) the ability of all citizens of a country to organize
and associate freely and independently of the government;
``(ii) the ability of all citizens to freely choose their
government, to hold that government accountable, and to
participate in political life;
``(iii) increased respect for internationally recognized
human rights and the rule of law;
``(iv) respect for the diversity among the citizens of a
country; and
``(v) acceptance of and respect for civilian authority by
all elements of society.
``(B) An essential ingredient of development is the growth
of indigenous nongovernmental organizations that are
committed to democratic values and active in the promotion of
democracy. United States efforts to foster democratic
pluralism and build democratic institutions are most likely
to create enduring bonds of democratic cooperation when
United States nongovernmental organizations are involved in
strengthening the capacity of nongovernmental organizations
in other countries.
``(C) Democracy requires honest and open participatory
government. United States assistance should help governments
to establish processes of accountability and transparency to
eliminate corruption and abuses of power and assist
nongovernmental organizations to develop the capability to
monitor the government's performance.
``(D) With regard to economic assistance under this Act or
the Support for East European Democracy (SEED) Act of 1989
for countries that are in transition from communism to
democracy, it shall be the policy of the United States, to
the extent feasible, to provide assistance directly to
democratically elected governments of states whose
incorporation into the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
has never been recognized by the United States: Provided,
That economic assistance to Yugoslavia otherwise authorized
by law shall not be prohibited as a consequence of this
provision. As used in this subparagraph, the term
`democratically elected' means elected through open, free,
and fair elections. Nothing in this paragraph shall be
construed to preclude assistance to agencies of such federal
governments that promote democratic reforms, human rights,
the rule of law, and/or market oriented reforms, provided
that funds are not provided directly to any such agency.
``(f) Effective Uses of Assistance.--
(1) Beneficiary countries.--Assistance furnished under this
title should be concentrated in countries that will make the
most effective use of that assistance in promoting the four
basic objectives set forth in subsection (a).
``(2) Assistance within countries.--Activities should be
undertaken in regions of recipient countries that offer
potential for successful development and should not be
undertaken if the relevant sector or national economic
policies of the country are clearly unfavorable to the
sustainability or broadest possible impact of the assisted
program or project.
``(3) Types of activities.--Assistance should focus on
those types of activities that the United States can provide
most effectively.''.
(b) Repeal of Development Assistance Authorities--Effective
October 1, 1995, sections 103 through 107 of the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961 are repealed.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, announced that the yeas had it.

policy on terminating the arab league boycott of israel
Sec. 550. (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) since 1948 the Arab countries have maintained a primary
boycott against Israel, refusing to do business with Israel;
(2) since the early 1950s the Arab League has maintained a
secondary and tertiary boycott against American and other
companies that have commercial ties with Israel;
(3) the boycott seeks to coerce American firms by
blacklisting those that do business with Israel and harm
America's competitiveness;
(4) the United States has a longstanding policy opposing
the Arab League boycott and United States law prohibits
American firms from providing information to Arab countries
to demonstrate compliance with the boycott;
(5) with real progress being made in the Middle East peace
process and the serious confidence-building measures taken by
the State of Israel, and end to the Arab boycott of Israel
and of American companies that have commercial ties with
Israel is long overdue and would represent a significant
confidence-building measure; and
(6) in the interest of Middle East peace and free commerce,
the President must take more concrete steps to press the Arab
states to end their practice of blacklisting and boycotting
American companies that have trade ties with Israel.
(b) Policy.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) the Arab League countries should immediately and
publicly renounce the primary boycott of Israel and the
secondary and tertiary boycott of American firms that have
commercial ties with Israel and
(2) the President should--
(A) take more concrete steps to encourage vigorously Arab
League countries to renounce publicly the primary boycotts of
Israel and the secondary and tertiary boycotts of American
firms that have commercial relations with Israel as a
confidence-building measure;
(B) take into consideration the participation of any
recipient country in the primary boycott of Israel and the
secondary and tertiary boycotts of American firms that have
commercial relations with Israel when determining whether to
sell weapons to said country;
(C) report to Congress on the specific steps being taken by
the President to bring about a public renunciation of the
Arab primary boycott of Israel and the secondary and tertiary
boycotts of American firms that have commercial relations
with Israel; and
(D) encourage the allies and trading partners of the United
States to enact laws prohibiting businesses from complying
with the boycott and penalizing businesses that do comply.

ECONOMIC SUPPORT FUND ASSISTANCE FOR ISRAEL

incurred severe economic burdens. Furthermore, the Congress

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

repayment (interest and principal) from Israel to the United
States Government in recognition that such a principle serves
United States interests in the region.

large supply of military equipment and ammunition and the
Serbian forces fighting the government of Bosnia-Hercegovina
have more than one thousand battle tanks, armored vehicles,

sustain the military advantage of the aggressor, the United
Nations should exempt the government of Bosnia-Hercegovina
from its embargo.

embargo against Bosnia-Hercegovina, the President is
authorized to transfer to the government of that nation,

policy on terminating the arab league boycott of israel
Sec. 550. (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) since 1948 the Arab countries have maintained a primary
boycott against Israel, refusing to do business with Israel;
(2) since the early 1950s the Arab League has maintained a
secondary and tertiary boycott against American and other
companies that have commercial ties with Israel;
(3) the boycott seeks to coerce American firms by
blacklisting those that do business with Israel and harm
America's competitiveness;
(4) the United States has a longstanding policy opposing
the Arab League boycott and United States law prohibits
American firms
[[Page 653]]
from providing information to Arab countries to demonstrate
compliance with the boycott;
(5) with real progress being made in the Middle East peace
process and the serious confidence-building measures taken by
the State of Israel, and end to the Arab boycott of Israel
and of American companies that have commercial ties with
Israel is long overdue and would represent a significant
confidence-building measure; and
(6) in the interest of Middle East peace and free commerce,
the President must take more concrete steps to press the Arab
states to end their practice of blacklisting and boycotting
American companies that have trade ties with Israel.
(b) Policy.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) the Arab League countries should immediately and
publicly renounce the primary boycott of Israel and the
secondary and tertiary boycott of American firms that have
commercial ties with Israel and
(2) the President should--
(A) take more concrete steps to encourage vigorously Arab
League countries to renounce publicly the primary boycotts of
Israel and the secondary and tertiary boycotts of American
firms that have commercial relations with Israel as a
confidence-building measure;
(B) take into consideration the participation of any
recipient country in the primary boycott of Israel and the
secondary and tertiary boycotts of American firms that have
commercial relations with Israel when determining whether to
sell weapons to said country;
(C) report to Congress on the specific steps being taken by
the President to bring about a public renunciation of the
Arab primary boycott of Israel and the secondary and tertiary
boycotts of American firms that have commercial relations
with Israel; and
(D) encourage the allies and trading partners of the United
States to enact laws prohibiting businesses from complying
with the boycott and penalizing businesses that do comply.

So the bill was passed.
A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said bill was passed was, by

Ordered, That the Clerk request the concurrence of the Senate in said

concurrence of the House is requested:
S. 3. An Act entitled the ``Congressional Spending Limit

Para. .73.8 recorded vote
A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of
the Whole on the following amendment submitted by Mr. SOLOMON:
Page 66, after line 18, insert the following:
SEC. 151. DRUG TESTING.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) the illegal sale, possession and use of drugs pose a
pervasive and substantial threat to the social, educational
and economic health of the United States;
(2) the impact of drug abuse is reflected in the criminal
violence that it causes and in the disintegration of
families, schools, neighborhoods, and workplace safety and
efficiency;
(3) the effects of rampant illegal drug trafficking are
amply illustrated by national crime statistics and
prosecutions across the United States of persons at all
economic and social levels, including prominent government
leaders;
(4) the chronic problem of drug abuse has contributed to
declining productivity levels, escalating health care costs,
and the increasing inability of domestic industry to compete
in the world market; and
(5) reasonable suspicion exists that the mission of the
government to preserve the public health and safety, protect
the national security, and maintain an effective drug
interdiction program for the United States is being subverted
by the possession, sale, and use of drugs by Federal
personnel at all levels of government.
(b) Random Testing.--The Secretary of State, the Director
of the United States Information Agency, and the Director of
the Agency for International Development, and the Director of
the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency shall establish a
program of random drug testing of the officers and employees
of the Department of State, the United States Information
Agency, the Agency for International Development, and the
Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, respectively.
(c) Regulations.--The Secretary of State, the Director of
the United States Information Agency, the Director of the
Agency for International Development, and the Director of the
Arms Control and Disarmament Agency shall, not later than 90
days after the date of enactment of this Act, issue
regulations for carrying out this section.
(d) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term
``drug testing'' means testing for the use of a controlled
substance, as such term is defined in section 102(6) of the
Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802(6)).
(e) Effective Date.--The requirements of subsection (b)
shall take effect upon the issuance of regulations under
subsection (c).

SEC. 167. INTERNATIONAL PEACEKEEPING REFORM.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) at the beginning of 1993, there were 13 United Nations
international peacekeeping operations in existence, 9 of
which were established since 1990;
(2) in 1987 the United Nations spent $233,000,000 on all
international peacekeeping operations, compared to
$3,800,000,000 budgeted for this function in 1993;
(3) while the United States is currently assessed 25
percent of the regular budget of the United Nations and its
specialized agencies, the United States had, until 1993, been
assessed 30.4 percent for the United Nations peacekeeping
operations;
(4) by early 1993, the United Nations unilaterally
increased the United States assessed level for international
peacekeeping operations to 31.7 percent to compensate for the
breakup of the former Soviet Union;
(5) the United States' share of the United Nations
international peacekeeping assessments is significantly
higher than that of any other member state, regardless of
economic strength, location, or potential to benefit from
specific peacekeeping missions;
(6) the United States Government faces a protected period
of serious fiscal constraint, particularly in its
international affairs budget;
(7) there is growing concern in the Congress over the
potential for excessive reliance on United Nations
international peacekeeping operations for the resolution of
local and regional conflicts, including concern over the
continued viability of existing United Nations peacekeeping
operations that have become permanent fixtures in local
disputes rather than serving to bring such disputes to
resolution; and
(8) for fiscal year 1994, the executive branch has
requested the creation of a United States Peacekeeping
Emergency Fund to increase the ability of the United States
to respond quickly to unforseen peacekeeping emergencies.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that--
(1) the United States should seek to negotiate a reduction
of its assessed share for any international peackeeping
operation to its current share of the regular assessed budget
for the international organization or entity with
jurisdiction over that operation;
(2) all United States military assistance, logistical
support and in-kind contributions for an international
peacekeeping operation should either be fully counted toward
the United States assessment for that operation or should be
fully reimbursed; and
(3) regional countries or groups of countries that would
receive disproportionate benefit from the establishment of an
international operation should voluntarily provide a higher
proportionate share of the costs of that peacekeeping
operation.
(c) Restrictions on the Use of Funds in the Assessed
Contributions for International Peacekeeping Activities
Account.--Notwithstanding any other provi-
[[Page 678]]
sion of law, funds authorized under this Act to be
appropriated to the Contributions for International
Peacekeeping Activities Account at the Department of State
may not be made available for the payment of assessed
contributions to United Nations international peacekeeping
operations in excess of 30.4 percent of the cost of such
operations.
PART F--MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SEC. 181. WOMEN'S HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTION.
(a) Sense of Congress.--The Congress makes the following
declarations:
(1) The State Department should designate within the
appropriate bureau a special assistant to the Assistant
Secretary to promote international women's human rights
within the overall human rights policy of the United States
Government.
(2) The purpose of assigning a special assistant on women's
human rights issues is not to segregate such issues, but
rather to assure that they are considered along with other
human rights issues in the development of United States
foreign policy.
(3) A specifically designated special assistant is
necessary because within the human rights field and the
foreign policy establishment, the issues of gender-based
discrimination and violence against women have long been
ignored or made invisible.
(4) The Congress believes that abuses against women would
have greater visibility and protection of women's human
rights would improve if the advocate were responsible for
integrating women's human rights issues into United States
human rights policy in ways including, but not limited to,
the following:
(A) The designated women's human rights advocate would seek
to assure that the issue of abuses against women, along with
human rights issues generally, are a factor in determining
appropriate recipients for United States bilateral assistance
as well as United States votes at the multilateral
development banks.
(B) The advocate would work with the regional bureaus of
the Department of State to devise strategies for the
executive branch to bring pressure to bear on governments
that engage in violence or systematic discrimination against
women or fail to afford equal treatment of women before the
law.
(C) The advocate would, in consultation with the bureau
responsible for international organizations, pursue
strategies to increase the visibility and integration of
gender-based persecution and violence in multilateral fora
including, but not limited to, the United States Commission
on Human Rights and the Working Group on Torture.
(D) The advocate would seek to assure that the United
States Trade Representative conduct inquiries and take steps
to prevent countries from receiving trade benefits under the
Generalized System of Preferences and most favored nation
status where governments fail to address violence, systematic
discrimination, and exploitation of women workers.
(E) The advocate would seek to assure that the protection
of women's human rights, including womens' participation in
the political process, women's right to freedom of
association and expression, and freedom from discrimination,
would be addressed in the context of United States funded
programs in the area of democracy including, but not limited
to, democracy programs at the Agency for International
Development, democracy programs for Eastern Europe funded by
the Support for East European Democracy (SEED) Act of 1989,
and new programs that may be contemplated.
(F) The advocate would seek to assure that United States
assistance programs in the area of administration of justice
include efforts to redress violations of women's rights.
(G) The advocate would work with the Agency for
International Development and the appropriate office at the
Department of State to secure funding for programs to meet
the needs of women victims of human rights abuses including,
but not limited to, medical and psychological assistance for
rape victims.
(H) The advocate would work to assure United States
ratification of the United Nations Convention on the
Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women
(CEDAW) and oversee the prePara. tion of reports pursuant to
that Convention.
(I) The advocate would seek to upgrade the quality and
quantity of information about abuses of women's human rights
in the reporting from United States embassies overseas,
incorporate that information not only in the State Department
Country Reports on Human Rights, but also in other public
statements and documents including, but not limited to,
congressional testimony and private demarches.
(b) Congressional Notification.--
(1) Not later than one year after the date of enactment of
this Act, the Secretary of State shall notify the Congress of
the steps taken to create the position described in
subsection (a) or to otherwise fulfill the objectives
detailed in that subsection.
(2) If the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of
All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) has not
been submitted to the Senate for ratification, not more than
90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the
Secretary of State shall notify the Congress, in writing, of
the administration's position on the ratification of CEDAW
and timetable for submission of CEDAW for congressional
consideration and approval.
SEC. 182. PUBLISHING INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS.
Section 112a of title 1 of the United States Code is
amended--
(1) by inserting ``(a)'' immediately before ``The Secretary
of State''; and
(2) by adding at the end the following new subsections:
``(b) The Secretary of State may determine that publication
of certain categories of agreements is not required, if the
following criteria are met:
``(1) such agreements are not treaties which have been
brought into force for the United States after having
received Senate advice and consent pursuant to section 2(2)
of Article II of the Constitution of the United States;
``(2) the public interest in such agreements is
insufficient to justify their publication, because (A) as of
the date of enactment of the Foreign Relations Authorization
Act, Fiscal Years 1994 and 1995, the agreements are no longer
in force, (B) the agreements do not create private rights or
duties, nor establish standards intended to govern government
action in the treatment of private individuals; (C) in view
of the limited or specialized nature of the public interest
in such agreements, such interest can adequately be satisfied
by an alternative means; or (D) the public disclosure of the
text of the agreement would, in the opinion of the President,
be prejudicial to the national security of the United States;
and
``(3) copies of such agreements (other than those in
Para. graph (2)(D)), including certified copies where necessary
for litigation or similar purposes, will be made available by
the Department of State upon request.
``(c) Any determination pursuant to subsection (b) shall be
published in the Federal Register.''.

(1) The Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1962 (22

appears;
(B) in section 2(a) by striking ``the Committee'' and
inserting ``the Organization'' each place it appears;
(C) in the first sentence of section 2(a) by inserting

SEC. 184. UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL MEMBERSHIP.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The effectiveness of the United Nations Security
Council in maintaining international peace and security
depends on its being representative of the membership of the
United Nations.
(2) The requirement of equitable geographic distribution in
Article 23 of the United Nations Charter requires that the
members of the Security Council of the United Nations be
chosen by nondiscriminatory means.
(3) The use of informal regional groups of the General
Assembly as the sole means for election of the nonpermanent
members of the Security Council is inherently discriminatory
in the absence of guarantees that all member states will have
the opportunity to join a regional group, and has resulted in
discrimination against Israel.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that the President should direct the Secretary of State to
request the Secretary-General of the United Nations to seek
immediate resolution of this problem. The President shall
inform the Congress of any progress in resolving this
situation together with the submission to Congress of the
request for funding for the ``Contributions to International
Organizations'' account for the fiscal year 1995.
SEC. 185. REFORMS IN THE FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION.
In light of the longstanding efforts of the United States
and the other major donor nations to reform the Food and
Agriculture Organization and the findings of the ongoing
investigation of the General Accounting Office, it is the
sense of the Congress that--
(1) the United States should use the opportunity of the
1993 election of a new Director General of the Food and
Agriculture Organization (FAO) to press for long-needed
organizational and management reforms; and
(2) it should be the policy of the United States to promote
the following reforms in the Food and Agriculture
Organization:
(A) Decentralization of the administrative structure of
FAO, including eliminating redundant or unnecessary
headquarters staff, increased responsibilities of regional
offices, increased time for consideration of budget issues by
member states, and a more meaningful and direct role for
member states in the decision-making process.
(B) Reform of the FAO Council, including formation of an
executive management committee to provide oversight of
management.
(C) Limitation of the term of the Director General and the
number of terms which an individual may serve.
(D) Restructuring of the Technical Cooperation Program
(TCP), including reducing the number of nonemergency projects
funds through the TCP and establishing procedures to deploy
TCP consultants, supplies, and equipment in a timely manner.

States Government, in providing for overseas assistance and

world's refugee population. As called for in the 1991 United
Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) ``Guidelines

should enter into bilateral and multilateral negotiations to
encourage other governments that provide refugee assistance

following findings:
(1) The national interests of the United States require the
presence abroad of United States citizens.
(2) Conditions in many parts of the world present dangers
to the safety and security of Americans abroad.
(3) The protection of United States citizens abroad depends
on their enjoying full protection against war crimes and
crimes against humanity committed by foreign governments.
(4) The conduct of the Government of Germany in using slave
labor during the period 1939 to 1945 constituted the acts of
an outlaw state and an abrogation of treaty obligations under
the Convention Respecting the Laws and Customs of War on Land
(Done at The Hague, 18 October 1907).
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that United States citizens who were victims of war crimes

(2) if a nation has not submitted the required information
by the reporting date of a particular year, but subsequently
submits notification to the United Nations that it intends to
provide such information at the next reporting date, an
agreement may be negotiated with the nation or a license may
be issued, but the actual delivery of such defense article or
service should not occur until that nation submits such
information.
SEC. 192. REVITALIZATION OF THE ``PERMANENT FIVE'' PROCESS.
(a) Congressional Declarations.--The Congress makes the
following findings and declarations:
(1) Talks among the five permanent members of the United
Nations Security Council (``Perm-5'') first established in
October 1991 present the best opportunity to negotiate
qualitative and quantitative guidelines on conventional arms
sales to the developing world.
(2) Reconvening of the ``Perm-5'' talks is an urgent matter
of international security.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that the President should seek to restart ``Perm-5'' talks

talks and the effects of United States agreements since
October 1991 to sell arms to the developing world.

increase regional tensions or instability, and introduce new
or more sophisticated military capabilities into the
region.''.

Nations Under Secretary General for Administration and
Management, the Honorable Richard Thornburg, concern has been
raised about the United Nation's deficiencies in dealing with

(2) It is the sense of the Congress that the President
should pay urgent attention to persuading the Secretary
General of the United Nations to take immediate steps to
implement the recommendations contained in the March 1, 1993,
report, giving prominent attention to the finding that the
organization urgently needs the establishment of a strong and
independent office of inspector general for the purposes of
internal program and administrative audit and efficiency
review. It is further the sense of the Congress that the
reports and findings of an inspector general should be fully
available to member states.
(3) The President should seek to persuade other
international organizations of which the United States is a
member to establish independent inspectors general, where
applicable, in addition to other steps to develop effective
means to eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse.
(4) It is the sense of the Congress that all program and
administrative audit and efficiency reviews should be fully
available to the governing bodies of such organizations.

of suspended membership) in any major international
organization that the international organization have
effective program and administrative audits and efficiency
reviews which are provided to member states as expeditiously
as possible after such reports and findings are made.
SEC. 195. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING ADHERENCE TO UNITED

times of armed conflict (such as through ensuring safe
passage of relief supplies and access to impartial
humanitarian relief organizations providing relief
assistance).
(2) Responsibilities of assistant secretary of state.--The
responsibilities of the assistant Secretary of State who is
responsible for human rights and humanitarian affairs shall
include promoting increased respect internationally for the
rights to food and to medical care in accordance with

person shall be ineligible to receive any contract or
subcontract made with funds provided pursuant to this Act,
pursuant to the debarment, suspension, and ineligibility
procedures described in section 9.400 through 9.409 of title
48, Code of Federal Regulations.

So the amendment, as amended, was agreed to.
After some further time,
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, assumed the Chair.
When Mr. SPRATT, 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. SOLOMON demanded a separate vote on each of the following
amendments: on page 59, delete lines 1 through 4 (the VOLKMER
amendment); and on page 79, after line 3 (the ARMEY amendment, as
amended).
The following remaining amendments, reported from the Committee of the
Whole House on the state of the Union were then agreed to:
On page 30, lines 3 and 4, insert after ``Corporation'' the
following: ``: Provided further, That the second proviso
shall not apply in any county affected if the Corporation has
implemented a non-standard classification system in such
county for those individual farms that have experienced
excessive losses since 1980 under which the premium rates,
notwithstanding the provision of section 508(d) of the
Federal Crop Insurance Act, are increased over comparable
rates effective for the 1993 crop, or the insured yields are
decreased from comparable yields for the 1993 crop, or a
combination of both, by an amount or amounts sufficient to
ensure that an estimated loss ratio will not exceed 1.1 for
the crop produced on such farms during the 1994 crop year''.
On page 42, after line 26, insert the following:
rural development administration
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, except
section 722, the Secretary may transfer funds from the
Farmers Home Administration in this Act to fund the Rural
Development Administration, as authorized by law.
On page 43, line 1, insert before ``farmers home
administration'': ``rural development administration and''.
Page 71, after line 18, insert the following new section:
Sec. 701. (a) Compliance With Buy American Act.--None of
the funds made available in this Act may be expended by an
entity unless the entity agrees that in expending the funds
the entity will comply with sections 2 through 4 of the Act
of March 3, 1933 (41 U.S.C. 10a-10c; popularly known as the
``Buy American Act'').
(b) Sense of Congress; Requirement Regarding Notice.--
(1) Purchase of american-made equipment and products.--In
the case of any equipment or product that may be authorized
to be purchased with financial assistance provided using
funds made available in this Act, it is the sense of the
Congress that entities receiving the assistance should, in
expending the assistance, purchase only American-made
equipment and products.
(2) Notice to recipients of assistance.--In providing
financial assistance using funds made available in this Act,
the head of each Federal agency shall provide to each
recipient of the assistance a notice describing the statement
made in paragraph (1) by the Congress.
(c) Prohibition of Contracts With Persons Falsely Labeling
Products as Made in America.--If it has been finally
determined by a court or Federal agency that any person
intentionally affixed a label bearing a ``Made in America''
inscription, or any inscription with the same meaning, to any
product sold in or shipped to the United States that is not
made in the United States, the person shall be ineligible to
receive any contract or subcontract made with funds made
available in this Act, pursuant to the debarment, suspension,
and ineligibility procedures described in sections 9.400
through 9.409 of title 48, Code of Federal Regulations.
The question being put, viva voce,
Will the House agree to the following amendment [the Volkmer
amendment] on which a separate vote had been demanded?
Page 59, delete lines 1 through 4.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, announced that the yeas had it.
Mr. SOLOMON 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

To the Congress of the United States:
Pursuant to section 204(b) of 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 5 of the United Nations Participation Act
of 1945 (22 U.S.C. 287c), and section 301 of title 3 of the United
States Code, in view of United Nations Security Council Resolution No.
841 of June 16, 1993, and in order to take additional steps with respect
to the actions and policies of the de facto regime in Haiti and the
national emergency described and declared in Executive Order No. 12775,
I hereby report that I have exercised my statutory authority with
respect to Haiti and issued an Executive order that:
--Blocks all property of any Haitian national providing substantial
financial or material contributions to the de facto regime in Haiti,
or doing substantial business with the de facto regime in Haiti, as
identified by the Secretary of the Treasury, that is or comes within
the United States or the possession or control of United States
persons. The proposed order defines the term ``Haitian national'' to
mean a citizen of Haiti, wherever located; a entity or body
organized under the laws of Haiti; and any other person, entity, or
body located in Haiti and engaging in the importation, storage, or
distribution of products or commodities controlled by sanctions
imposed on Haiti pursuant to resolutions adopted either by the
United Nations Security Council or the Organization of American
States, or otherwise facilitating transactions inconsistent with
those sanctions;
--Prohibits the sale or supply, by United States persons, or from the
United States, or using U.S.-registered vessels or aircraft, or
petroleum or petroleum products or arms and related materiel of all
types, including weapons and ammunition, military vehicles and
equipment, police equipment and spare parts for the aforementioned,
regardless of origin, to any person or entity in Haiti or to any
persons or entity for the purpose of any business carried on in or
operated
[[Page 744]]
from Haiti, and any activities by United States persons or in the
United States which promote or are calculated to promote such sale

United Nations Security Council Resolution 841, unanimously adopted on
June 16, 1993, calls on all States to adopt certain measures which are
included within those outlined above. These measures are called for in
recognition of the urgent need for an early, comprehensive, and peaceful
settlement of the crisis in Haiti and in light of the failure of parties
in Haiti to act constructively to take steps necessary to begin the
restoration of democracy.
The measures we are taking respond to the Security Council's call.
They demonstrate our commitment to remain at the forefront of the
international community's efforts to back up with sanctions the
negotiations process being sponsored by the United Nations and the
Organization of American States. These steps also demonstrate
unflinching support through our foreign policy of the return of
democracy to Haiti.

Para. 78.35 message from the president--aeronautics and space
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 this report on the Nation's achievements in
aeronautics and space during fiscal year 1992, as required under section
206 of the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, as amended (42
U.S.C. 2476). Not only to 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.
Fiscal year 1992 was a significant one for U.S. aeronautics and space
efforts. It included 7 Space Shuttle missions and 14 Government launches
of expendable launch vehicles [ELVs] carrying a variety of payloads
ranging from NASA missions to classified payloads. In addition, there
were eight launches of ELVs by commercial launch service providers
operating under licenses issued by the Department of Transportation's
Office of Commercial Space Transportation. On December 7, 1991, the Air
Force achieved initial launch capability for the new Atlas II launch
vehicle in a commercial launch by General Dynamics with support from the
Air Force. The Shuttle missions included one using the Atmospheric
Laboratory for Applications and Science (ATLAS-1) to study the Sun and
our atmosphere, as well as the first flight of the newest orbiter,
Endeavour, which rendezvoused with, retrieved, and replaced the perigee
kick motor of the INTELSAT VI (F-3) satellite that INTELSAT controllers
then deployed into its intended orbit.
In aeronautics, efforts have ranged from development of new civil and
military aircraft and technologies to research and development of ways
to reduce aircraft noise and improve flight safety and security.
One of the major Earth science highlights of the year was the
discovery that, like the ozone layer over the Antarctic with its well-
documented annual depletion, the ozone layer in the Northern Hemisphere
is increasingly vulnerable to depletion by synthetic chemicals. Several
Federal agencies have cooperated to study this and other environmental
challenges.
Thus, fiscal year 1992 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, and improving the environment.
William J. Clinton.

such crew members are armed with weapons;
(5) various States require both weapons training and a

while acting in the services of such company in that State,
and such State agency meets the minimum State requirements
under subsection (b), then such crew member shall be entitled
to lawfully carry any weapon to which such license relates in
any State while such crew member is acting in the service of
such company.
(b) Minimum State Requirements.--A State agency meets the
minimum State requirements of this subsection if in issuing a
weapons license to an armored car crew member described in
subsection (a), the agency requires the crew member to
provide information on an annual basis to the satisfaction of
the agency that--
(1) the crew member has received classroom and range
training in weapons safety and marksmanship during the
current year by a qualified instructor for each weapon that
the crew member is licensed to carry; and
(2) the receipt or possession of a weapon by the crew
member would not violate Federal law, determined on the basis
of a criminal record background check conducted during the
current year.
SEC. 4. RELATION TO OTHER LAWS.
This Act shall supersede any provision of State law (or the
law of any political subdivision of a State) that is
inconsistent with this Act.
SEC. 5. DEFINITIONS.
As used in this Act:
(1) The term ``armored car crew member'' means an
individual who provides protection for goods transported by
an armored car company.
(2) The term ``armored car company'' means a company--
(A) subject to regulation under subchapter II of chapter
105 of title 49, United States Code; and
(B) holding the appropriated certificate, permit, or

title, in order to engage in the business of transporting and

Para. 82.28 message from the president--community development financial
institutions
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 submit to the Congress the ``Community Development
Banking and Financial Institutions Act of 1993''. This legislative
initiative will promote the creation of commu-
[[Page 783]]
nity development financial institutions that will empower individuals
and communities and provide for greater economic opportunity. Also
transmitted are a statement of the Administration's principles embodied
in this proposal and a section-by-section analysis.
In too many urban and rural communities, there is a lack of capital
and credit. Lending in distressed communities, particularly to small
businesses, can be complicated. It may require special expertise and
knowledge of the borrower and the community, credit products, subsidies,
and secondary markets. Community development financial institutions--
including community development banks like South Shore Bank in Chicago,
community credit unions such as Self-Help in North Carolina, community
development corporations, micro-enterprise loan funds, and revolving
loan funds--have demonstrated that they can provide capital, credit, and
development services in distressed areas and to targeted populations.
The bill proposes establishment of a Community Development Banking and
Financial Institutions Fund that would support a program of investment
in community development financial institutions. The Fund would provide
financial and technical assistance to, and serve as a national
information clearinghouse for, community development financial
institutions.
This initiation reaffirms my commitment to helping communities help
themselves. By ensuring greater access to capital and credit, we will
tap the entrepreneurial energy of America's poorest communities and
enable individuals and communities to become self-sufficient.
My Administration is also committed to enhancing the role of
traditional financial institutions with respect to community
reinvestment. As a complement to the community development financial
institutions initiative, we will adopt regulatory changes to more
effectively implement the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977. These
changes will replace paperwork with performance-oriented standards and
will include tougher enforcement measures for noncompliance.
In order to secure early enactment of legislation in this crucial
area, I urge the Congress to consider the Community Development Banking
and Financial Institutions Act of 1993 as a discrete bill, separate from
general issues of financial services reform and any other nongermane
amendments.
William J. Clinton.
The White House, July 15, 1993.
By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying
papers, was referred to the Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban

On June 3, 1993, I determined and reported to the Congress that
Bulgaria is in full compliance with emigration criteria of the Jackson-
Vanik amendment to, and Section 409 of, the Trade Act of 1974. This
determination allowed for the continuation of most favored nation (MFN)
status for Bulgaria without the requirement of an annual waiver.
As required by law, I am submitting an updated formal Report to
Congress concerning emigration laws and policies of the Republic of
Bulgaria. You will find that the report indicates continued Bulgarian
compliance with U.S. and international standards in the areas of
emigration and human rights policy.
The Administration intends to propose legislation, which would let me
terminate the application of Title IV of the Trade Act of 1974 to
Bulgaria.
William J. Clinton.
The White House, July 20, 1993.
By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying
papers, was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means and ordered to

Para. 84.6 message from the president--national emergency with respect
to iraq
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MONTGOMERY, 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, 1993, 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.
William J. Clinton.

By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered.
Mr. WALKER demanded a separate vote on the amendment on page 19, line
3 (the Hunter amendment).
Mr. SMITH of Iowa demanded a separate vote on each of the following
amendments: on page 33, line 21 (the Walker amendment); and on page 55,
line 8 (the Penny amendment, as amended).
The following remaining amendments, reported from the Committee of the
Whole House on the state of the Union were then agreed to:
Page 62, line 11, strike ``$593,000'' and insert
``$186,000''.
Page 62, line 14, strike the word ``In'' and all that
follows through line 18.
At the end of the bill, add the following new sections:
SEC. . SENSE OF CONGRESS; REQUIREMENT REGARDING NOTICE.

on which a separate vote had been demanded?
Page 19, line 3, strike ``$999,000,000'' and insert
``$1,059,000,000''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, announced that the yeas had it.

So the resolution was not agreed to.
A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said resolution was not agreed
to was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.
Para. 86.8 waiving points of order against h.r. 2490
Mr. GORDON, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the
following resolution (H. Res. 221):
Resolved, That during consideration of the bill (H.R. 2490)
making appropriations for the Department of Transportation
and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30,
1994, and for other purposes, all points of order against
provisions in the bill for failure to comply with clause 2 or
6 rule XXI are waived except as follows: beginning on page
17, line 14, through line 24; beginning on page 18, line 16,
through line 20; beginning on page 23, line, through line 12;
beginning with ``:Provided'' on page 27, line 2, through
``1341'' on line 6; beginning on page 48, line 11, through
page 49, line 8; beginning on page 51, line 16, through line
23; beginning on page 53, line 7, through line 22; beginning
on page 54, line 15, through page 55, line 14; beginning on
page 56, line 1, through page 57, line 9; beginning on page
57, line 14, through page 58, line 11; and beginning on page
58, line 15, through page 59, line 2. 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 amendments en bloc specified in the
report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution
to be offered by Representative Tauzin of Louisiana or a
designee may amend portions of the bill not yet read for
amendment, shall be considered as read, and shall not be
subject to a demand for division of the question in the House
or in the Committee of the Whole.
Sec. 2. House Resolution 211 is laid on the table.
When said resolution was considered.
After debate,
Mr. GORDON withdrew said resolution.
Para. 86.9 notice requirement--consideration of resolution--h.res.211
Mr. GOSS, pursuant to clause 4(c) of rule XI, announced his intention
to call up the resolution (H. Res. 211) waiving certain points of order
against the bill (H.R. 2490) making appropriations for the Department of
Transportation and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September
30, 1994, and for other purposes, on Friday, July 23, 1993.
Para. 86.10 privileges of the house
Mr. GEPHARDT, rose to a question of the privileges of the House and
submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 223):
Whereas the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia on
July 19, 1993 announced that the former Postmaster of the
House of Representatives was pleading guilty to criminal
counts of conspiracy and aiding and abetting the embezzlement
of public funds,
Whereas the operation of the House Post Office during the
tenure of the former Postmaster was the subject of a
bipartisan Task Force to Investigate the Operation and
Management of the House Post Office of the Committee on House
Administration,
Whereas the former Task Force published a public report on
July 24, 1992 in which were included portions of transcripts
of its proceedings,
Whereas the House on July 22, 1992, voted to provide both
the public report and all the records of the former Task
Force to the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct and
to the Department of Justice, but declined to make the
transcripts of the former Task Force's proceedings public,
Whereas one of the reasons the House declined to make the
transcripts of proceedings of the former Task Force public at
that time was a concern that such release not compromise an
ongoing criminal proceeding conducted by the U.S. Attorney
for the District of Columbia,
Whereas the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia on
July 21, 1993 communicated to the Speaker and the Republican
Leader his strong objection to the public release of the
records of the former Task Force as follows:
U.S. Department of Justice,
U.S. Attorney,
Washington, DC, July 21, 1993.
Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
Speaker, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
Hon. Robert H. Michel,
Minority Leader, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Speaker and Congressman Michel: We have been
advised that the House of Representatives may be considering
the public release of previously confidential materials
generated during the inquiry conducted last year by the Task
Force to Investigate the Operation and Management of the
House Post Office. I am writing to express this Office's
serious concern that the release of such materials could have
a significant adverse effect on the ongoing criminal
investigation being conducted by this Office into matters
associated with the House Post Office. Accordingly, I ask you
not to authorize the release of such materials.
Last year, this Office endeavored to work cooperatively
with the Task Force, so as to enable the Task Force to
conduct its mandated operations-and-management review of the
Post Office, without invading the integrity of the criminal
investigation. After completing its review in July of last
year, the Task Force prudently concluded that many of the
materials that it had collected or generated--including
deposition and interview transcripts and tapes--ought to
remain confidential, in part because the publication of such
materials posed a significant potential to compromise the
ongoing grand jury investigation. That potential remains
today. The investigation is continuing, and inevitably
involves many of the same witnesses and transactions that the
Task Force inquiry included.
For these reasons, I strongly request that the House
refrain from releasing additional materials generated by the
Task Force inquiry.
Sincerely,
J. Ramsey Johnson,
U.S. Attorney.
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House that, when the
United States Attorney for the District of Columbia at any
time informs the House that he has no objection to the public
release of the transcripts of proceedings of the former Task
Force, then the House immediately shall take up and bring to
vote the question of the release of the transcripts of
proceedings of the former Task Force;
Resolved further, That the Speaker is directed to
communicate to the United States Attorney for the District of
Columbia the request of the House that he promptly advise the
House when he determines that he has no objection to the
public release of the transcripts of proceedings of the
former Task Force; and
Resolved further, That the Clerk is directed to transmit
promptly such communication of the Speaker and a copy of this
Resolution to the United States Attorney for the District of
Columbia.
Pending consideration of said resolution,
Para. 86.11 point of order
Mr. WALKER made a point of order against consideration of said
resolution as not constituting a question of privilege, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, the resolution as presented to the House does not
constitute a question of privilege. There is no violation of rule IX
where questions of privilege have to relate to particular items of the
House, primarily the saftety, dignity, and integrity of its proceedings.
There is no allegation in this resolution that any such matter has taken
place, nor is there any disciplinary action that is in the resolution.
``So, therefore, this does not constitute an appropriate question of
privilege to bring before the House.''
The SPEAKER overruled the point of order, and said:
``The Chair believes that the resolution meets the requirements of
rule IX
[[Page 807]]
which involves the question of integrity of the House and involves
papers of the House, and accordingly the Chair overrules the point of
order, and states that the resolution of the gentleman from Missouri
[Mr. Gephardt] states a question of privilege.''
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. SKAGGS, 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.
The vote 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. 86.13 privileges of the house
Mr. MICHEL rose to a question of the privileges of the House and
called up the following resolution (H. Res. 222):
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 Report of the Committee on House Administration
selectively included portions of the transcript of the
proceedings of the Task Force in the Appendix of their
Report;
Whereas efforts in the 102d Congress to release the full
transcript of the Task Force were defeated in the House on
July 22, 1992 and July 23, 1992;
Whereas the former Postmaster of the House of
Representatives, Robert V. Rota, from 1978 continuing until
April 1992 conspired, confederated and agreed with other
persons, including Members of Congress, to commit offenses
against the United States.
Whereas the former Postmaster has pled guilty to making
false statements to the Task Force and discussed with his
Supervisor of Accounts the need to withhold information
during interviews with United States Postal Inspectors and
the Congressional Committee investigating the House post
office;
Whereas the former Postmaster engaged in a cover up of the
exchange of vouchers and postage stamps for cash beginning in
May of 1980 and continued throughout the House investigation
of the post office;
Whereas the integrity of the House of Representatives has
been impugned by the actions of Mr. Rota and others: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Committee on House Administration is
directed to immediately make public complete transcripts of
all proceedings of the Task Force, including depositions and
statements of witnesses and any tapes of such proceedings.
When said resolution was considered.
The SPEAKER ruled that the resolution submitted did not present a
question of the privileges of the House under rule IX, and said:
``The Chair finds that the proposed resolution does present a question
of privileges of the House.''
After debate,
Mr. GEPHARDT moved to lay the resolution on the table.
The question being put, viva voce,
Will the House agree to the motion to lay the resolution on the table?
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. SKAGGS, announced that the yeas had it.
Mr. MICHEL 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. 88.9 olympics in china
Mr. LANTOS moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following
resolution (H. Res. 188); as amended:
Whereas the International Olympic Committee is now in the
process of determining the venue of the Olympic Games in the
year 2000;
Whereas the governments of the city of Beijing and of the
People's Republic of China have made a proposal to the
International Olympic Committee that the Summer Olympic Games
in the year 2000 be held in Beijing;
Whereas the State Department's Country Reports on Human
Rights Practices for 1992 specifies that the Chinese
``government's human rights practices have remained
repressive, falling far short of internationally accepted
norms,'' ``torture and degrading treatment of detained and
imprisoned persons persisted,'' ``conditions in all types of
Chinese penal institutions are harsh and frequently
degrading,'' and the Chinese ``government still has not
satisfactorily accounted for the thousands of persons
throughout the country who were arrested or held in
`detention during the investigation' or `administrative
detention' status for activities related to the 1989 pro-
democracy demonstrations'';
Whereas the Government of China has failed to respect civil
liberties and, according to the State Department's Country
Reports on Human Rights Practices for 1992, ``freedom of
speech and self-expression remain severely restricted'';
Whereas the Government of China has engaged in massive
transfers of population in order to marginalize the Tibetans
inside Tibet and has engaged in systematic suppression of the
Tibetan people, their culture and religion;
Whereas the Government of China has imposed tighter control
over religious practice and engaged in greater repression of
religion;
Whereas the Government of China has engaged in ongoing
pervasive human rights abuses of women and children,
including the use of forced abortion and involuntary
sterilizations as part of China's one child per couple
policy;
Whereas the Government of China does not permit the
establishment of independent Chinese organizations that
publicly monitor or comment on human rights conditions in
China, and Chinese authorities have refused requests by
international human rights delegations to meet with political
prisoners and former detainees and have expelled foreign
visitors who have indicated an interest in monitoring human
rights conditions;
Whereas workers in China are denied the right to organize
independent trade unions and to bargain collectively, and
products manufactured by forced labor have been exported to
the United States;
Whereas, in the spring of 1989, then mayor of Beijing, Chen
Xitong, called for a crackdown on the pro-democracy
demonstrators in Tiananmen Square, and on May 20, 1989,
signed a martial law decree authorizing the entry of troops
into the city;
Whereas Chen Xitong is currently chairman of the Beijing
2000 Olympic Bid Committee, and Mr. Chen has assured the
International Olympic Committee in China's formal application
that ``neither now, or in the future, will there emerge in
Beijing organizations opposing Beijing's bid'' to host the
Olympics, thus boasting of the Chinese regime's determination
to crush dissent; and
Whereas holding the Olympic games in countries, such as the
People's Republic of China, which engage in massive
violations of human rights serves to shift the focus from the
high ideals behind the Olympic tradition and is
counterproductive for the Olympic movement: Now, therefore,
be it.
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) strongly opposes the holding of the Olympic Summer
Games in the year 2000 in the city of Beijing or elsewhere in
the People's Republic of China;
(2) urges the International Olympic Committee
representative in the United States to vote against holding
the Olympic Summer Games in the year 2000 in the city of
Beijing or elsewhere in the People's Republic of China; and
(3) directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to
transmit a copy of this resolution to the International
Olympic Committee representative in the United States with
the request that it be circulated to members of the
Committee.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, recognized Mr. LANTOS and Mr.
GOODLING, 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.
Mr. SOLOMON 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. MAZZOLI, pursuant to clause 5, rule I,
announced that further proceedings on the motion were postponed.
Para. 88.10 h.r. 1757--unfinished business
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, pursuant to clause 5, rule I,
announced the unfinished business to be the motion to suspend the rules

So the Journal was approved.
Para. 89.6 providing for the consideration of h.r. 2667
Mr. WHEAT, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the
following resolution (H. Res. 226):
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. 2667) making emergency supplemental
appropriations for relief from the major, widespread flooding
in the Midwest 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. General debate shall be confined to
the bill and the amendments made in order by this resolution
and shall not exceed ninety minutes equally divided and
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the
Committee on Appropriations. After general debate the bill
shall be considered for amendment under
[[Page 822]]
the five-minute rule and shall be considered as read. The
modification to the bill printed in part 1 of the report of
the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution shall be
considered as adopted in the House and in the Committee of
the Whole. All points of order against the bill, as modified,
are waived. No amendment to the bill, as modified, shall be
in order except the amendment printed in part 2 of the
report. The amendment printed in part 2 of the report may be
offered only by the named proponent or a designee, shall be
considered as read, shall be debatable for the time specified
in the report equally divided and controlled by the proponent
and an opponent, and shall not be subject to amendment. At
the conclusion of consideration of the bill for amendment the
Committee shall rise and report the bill, as modified, to the
House with such amendment as may have been adopted. The
previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill
and amendment thereto to final passage without intervening
motion except one motion to recommit.
Pending consideration of said resolution,
Para. 89.7 point of order
Mr. SOLOMON made a point of order against said resolution, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, it is a longstanding practice of parliamentary law in
this House that an amendment once rejected cannot be considered in
identical form to the same bill.
``I cite Cannon's Precedents, volume 8, section 2834, and I quote: `It
is not in order to offer an amendment identical with one previously
disagreed to.'
``And, quoting from Deschler's Precedents, volume 9, section 35, `It
is not in order to offer an amendment identical to one previously
rejected.'
``And finally, from Procedure in the House, 97th Congress, section
33.1, and again I quote: `It is not in order to offer an amendment
identical to one previously rejected. An amendment once rejected cannot
be re-offered in identical form.'
``Mr. Speaker, the pending resolution, House Resolution 226, provides,
and I quote: `The modification to the bill printed in part 1 of the
report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution shall be
considered as adopted in the House and in the Committee of the Whole'.
``The so-called modification printed in part 1 of the Rules Committee
report on House Resolution 226 proposes to insert at the appropriate
place a new section entitled, `Youth Fair Chance Program.'
``On Thursday, July 22, 1993, the House rejected House Resolution 220,
which provided on page 2, beginning at line 10, the following: `The
modification to the bill printed in part 1 of the report of the
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution shall be considered as
adopted in the House and in the Committee of the Whole.'
``And part 1 of the report to accompany that resolution contains an
identical modification to that contained in the report on this
resolution.
``The report on House Resolution 220 proposed to insert at the
appropriate place a new section entitled, `Youth Fair Chance Program.'
``A careful examination of both reports will reveal that the
modifications considered to be adopted in both the House and in the
Committee of the Whole are identical--word-for-word.
``This device of having an amendment considered as adopted upon the
adoption of the rule is called a self-execution provision. At what point
is the modification considered to be adopted? The rule makes clear that
it is considered to be adopted in the House and in the Committee of the
Whole, and not the reverse.
``We are now in the House, and the adoption of the so-called
modification takes place first in the House when we adopt this rule.
Then it is considered as adopted in the Committee of the Whole, when the
House resolves into Committee. And finally, the language of the rule
presumably also extends to the final adoption of the modification when
the bill is reported back to the House when it is reported from the
Committee of the Whole.
``But the Chair can hardly argue that this rule does not first adopt
the modification in the House when the rule is adopted, since the order
of adoption is quite clear--first in the House, then in the Committee of
the Whole.
``Mr. Speaker, in further support of this, I would cite the ruling of
the Chair of February 24, 1993, on a similar point of order brought
against the rule on the unemployment compensation bill.
``At page H807, the Chair indicated that, and I quote, `the amendments
are not adopted until such time as the rule is adopted.' In other words,
Mr. Speaker, the amendments are considered as adopted in the House upon
adoption of the rule.
``By the same token, when House Resolution 220 was rejected by the
House last Thursday, the identical amendment to that being offered in
this rule, was considered as rejected in the House. And the point of
order lies against considering the same amendment once rejected.
``I therefore urge the Chair to follow the logic of its previous
ruling regarding the effect of the adoption of a rule by the House by
upholding my point of order that this amendment has been previously
rejected by the rejection of the prior rule on this bill.''.
Mr. WHEAT was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from New York [Mr. Solomon] makes a point
of order that it would be inappropriate to consider legislation
identical to that previously rejected by the House, and I have to
congratulate the gentleman. He makes a clever argument when he suggests
that because H. Res. 220, last week in its entirety, included a self-
executing provision that would have considered the Youth Fair Chance Act
provision adopted had that rule passed. However, Mr. Speaker, that
amendment was not, in fact, rejected by this House of Representatives.
What failed to pass was H. Res. 220 in its entirety, and in fact H. Res.
220 included many other provisions besides the Youth Fair Chance
Opportunity Act. The legislation that is being considered here today is
not identical to the resolution previously reported from the Committee
on Rules.
``It is, in fact, true that some of the provisions are similar,
however, Mr. Speaker, it is important to note that the general debate
time, for instance, has been extended from 60 to 90 minutes, and it this
is a substantially different proposition. Therefore, Mr. Speaker, I
would urge you to, in fact, be consistent with previous rulings and to
reject this point of order.''.
Mr. SOLOMON was further recognized to speak to the point of order and
said:
``Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from Missouri [Mr. Wheat] is a good
friend, and we respect him, but what he just said is that the only
difference between this resolution before us now, this rule and the
previous one, is the fact that they have extended debate by 30 minutes.
That is the only difference between these two rules.
``Therefore, Mr. Speaker, it stands to reason there is no significant
difference. It is the identical amendment, the identical rule, that was
before this body before, and the Chair should uphold my point of
order.''.
Mr. WHEAT was further recognized to speak to the point of order and
said:
``Mr. Speaker, one of the major purposes of the Committee on Rules is
to award time, of course time that has to be approved by this entire
body, and it is, in fact, what we consider to be a significant
difference, to differentiate significantly in the amount of time that is
to be awarded on the floor of the House of Representatives. So, the
addition of 30 additional minutes for debate on what we consider to be a
very significant and substantive matter is, in fact, a significant
difference from one rule to the next.
``Mr. Speaker, this is not an identical rule to what was considered
last week.''.
Mr. WALKER was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``Mr. Speaker, there is a longstanding parliamentary tradition and
practice in the House that one cannot do indirectly that which they were
not permitted to do directly. That is precisely what the majority is
attempting to do in this particular rule.
``In this instance, if they were attempting to do this directly, there
is no doubt that the Chair would have to rule that this amendment was
not in order, having been previously rejected from the House. The
indirect nature of this amendment should not preclude the Chair from
ruling that this amendment is not eligible for consideration on the
House floor.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. WISE, overruled the point of order, and
said:
``The resolution under consideration involves more than the self-
executing adoption of the modification printed in the accompanying
report. The pending
[[Page 823]]
resolution waives all points of order against provisions in the bill as
modified and provides a different parameter of general debate from that
contained in House Resolution 220. Thus House Resolution 226 constitutes
a different proposition from House Resolution 220 as a special order of
business.
``The rule is more than the self-executing provision within it. It is
the entire resolution, and the entire resolution, by virtue of having a
different parameter of debate, is sufficiently different.
``Therefore, the gentleman's point of order is overruled.''.
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?
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. WISE, 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.

Para. 89.9 point of order
Mr. SOLOMON made a point of order against the modification to the bill
(H.R. 2667) making emergency supplemental appropriations for relief from
the major, widespread flooding in the Midwest for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 1993, and for other purposes, as printed in Part 1 of
House Report 103-189 and provided for by House Resolution 226, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, I renew my point of order against the modification
printed in part 1 of the Committee on Rules report on the grounds that
it is not germane and in violation of clause 7, rule XVI, and
constitutes legislating in an appropriations bill in violation of clause
2, rule XXI.
``Mr. Speaker, a point of order was reserved prior to adoption of the
rule, since, apparently, that is the point at which the modification was
first to be in the House. I have offered this before the bill is called
up, since I am aware that all points of order are waived against the
bill, as modified, but no points of order are waived in the rule against
the modification.
``I would insist on my point of order.''.
Mr. NATCHER was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``Mr. Speaker, the bill is, obviously, protected by the rule just
adopted. For instance, on page 3, Mr. Speaker, it provides in part as
follows:
`All points of order against consideration of the bill are waived.'
``In addition, further, `All points of order against the bill, as
modified, are waived.'
``Mr. Speaker, the point raised by my friend, the gentleman from New
York, is not a valid point of order.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. WISE, overruled the point of order, and
said:
``The point of order on a recommittal motion would have to be made
when that motion if offered.
``Referring to the gentleman's point of order, the gentleman from New
York [Mr. Solomon] makes a point of order that a certain provision in
the bill, as modified, constitutes, as the chairman understands it, a
nongermane amendment and is legislation on a general appropriations
bill.
``The provision in question is the new section inserted in the bill by
operation of House Resolution 226, the special order providing for its
consideration. Thus, the bill is now pending consideration in that
modified form. Moreover, House Resolution 226 waives all points of order
against the bill, as modified. Consequently, the point of order made by
the gentleman from New York [Mr. Solomon] has been waived.
``Once again, the Chair would refer the gentleman in this question and
[[Page 824]]
others that have been raised to the decision on February 24, 1993, by
Speaker pro tempore Mazzoli.
``In response to a parliamentary inquiry regarding the effect of
adoption of a special order of business self-executing the adoption of
an amendment which, if separately considered, might constitute a
violation of a rule of the House, Speaker pro tempore Mazzoli responded
that `Once the bill--as so modified--is called up * * * because the rule
which has by that time been adopted has in it waivers of points of
order, that point of order could not be raised.'
``Therefore, the gentleman's point of order is not sustained.''.
Accordingly,
Para. 89.10 flood disaster supplemental appropriations
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. WISE, pursuant to House Resolution 226
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. 2667) making emergency supplemental appropriations for relief from
the major, widespread flooding in the Midwest for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 1993, and for other purposes.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. WISE, by unanimous consent, designated
Mr. WILLIAMS as Chairman of the Committee of the Whole; and after some
time spent therein,
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. WHEAT, assumed the Chair.
When Mr. WILLIAMS, Chairman, pursuant to House Resolution 226,
reported the bill back to the House with an amendment adopted by the
Committee.
The previous question having been ordered by said resolution.

House on the state of the Union, was agreed to:

Para. 89.16 message from the president--legal immigration and political
asylum systems
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Ms. BROWN, 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 ``Expedited exclusion and Alien Smuggling Enhanced
Penalties Act of 1993.'' This legislative proposal is designed to
address the growing abuse of our legal immigration and political asylum
systems by illegal aliens holding fraudulent documents and by alien
smugglers. Also transmitted is a section-by-section analysis. The
proposal is part of a larger Administration initiative that I announced
on June 18, 1993, to combat the illegal entry and smuggling of aliens
into the United States.
The use of fraudulent documents by aliens seeking to enter the United
States has increased dramatically. This proposal would expedite the
exclusion and return of certain undocumented and fraudulently
documented aliens who clearly are ineligible for admission to the
United States, while ensuring that persons who have legitimate asylum
claims receive full and fair hearings. In addition, the bill would
increase the ability of the Immigration and Naturalization Service
(INS) to prosecute alien smugglers and enhance the penalties for alien
smuggling.
The expedited exclusion procedures would apply to an alien who, for
example: (1) attempted to use a fraudulent passport to enter the United
States; (2) came to the United States by commercial airplane and did
not present a visa upon arrival; or (3) was encountered by the Coast
Guard on the high seas and brought to the United States. To apply for
asylum, these aliens first would have to establish that they had a
credible fear either of persecution in the country from which they had
departed or of return to persecution. If an asylum officer determined
that the alien had such a credible fear, the alien then could apply for
asylum. If the alien did not have the requisite fear of persecution,
the alien would be subject to an immediate order of exclusion barring
him or her from entering the United
[[Page 828]]
States. The bill would limit judicial review of such an exclusion
order.
Alien smuggling has become an increasingly pervasive problem, as seen
in the current wave of Chinese aliens being brought to the shores of
this country by unscrupulous criminal organizations. These
organizations seek to profit both from transporting these aliens and
from their labors once in this country. The number of alien smugglers
arrested in the past 3 years has tripled, and the number of smugglers
convicted has doubled.
Alien smuggling not only violates our criminal and immigration laws,
but it also takes a terrible toll on the lives of the aliens illegally
brought into this country. Many of these individuals transfer their
entire life savings and pledge thousands of additional dollars to
smugglers. These aliens are often placed in deplorable conditions
amounting to indentured servitude until they can pay the debts incurred
for their passage to America. Moreover, organized criminal syndicates
are becoming more frequently associated with this highly profitable
traffic in human cargo.
The bill's criminal provisions are vital to help apprehend offenders
and deter future criminal activity in this area. Under this proposal,
the maximum penalty imposed against certain smugglers would be
increased from 5 to 10 years in prison for each individual smuggled.
Since clandestine means of investigation are often needed to build
cases against alien smuggling rings, the bill would authorize INS to
conduct wiretaps for alien smuggling investigations.
Finally, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations statute
would be amended so its penalty and forfeiture provisions could be used
against alien smuggling organizations. The proposal also would expand
the ability of law enforcement personnel to forfeit the proceeds of
illegal alien smuggling, such as cash and bank accounts.
In addition to this bill, our efforts to combat alien smuggling
include strengthening law enforcement efforts and attacking smuggling
operations at the source. The Federal Government already has begun
interdicting and redirecting smuggling ships, where feasible, in
transit to the United States. INS is detaining aliens who enter the
United States in conjunction with criminal smuggling activities. The
Department of Justice, consistent with due process and existing laws,
is expediting the adjudication of entry claims raised by migrants who
are the victims of organized criminal smuggling schemes.
All of these actions, taken together, signal the United States
abhorrence of the trafficking in human beings for profit and our
determination to combat this illegal activity. At the same time, they
reaffirm our Nation's commitment to safeguarding the protection of bona
fide refugees.
I urge the prompt and favorable consideration of this legislative
proposal by the Congress.
William J. Clinton.

insert in lieu thereof ``A State shall impose the following
conditions''.
Amendment submitted by Mr. PORTER:
At the end of the bill, add the following (and conform the
table of contents of the bill accordingly):
TITLE V--LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF VOLUNTEERS
SEC. 501. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds and declares that--
(1) within certain States, the willingness of volunteers to
offer their services has been increasingly deterred by a
perception that they thereby put personal assets at risk in
the event of liability actions against the organization they
serve;
(2) as a result of this perception, many nonprofit public
and private organizations and governmental entities,
including voluntary associations, social service agencies,
educational institutions, local governments, foundations, and
other civic programs, have been adversely affected through
the withdrawal of volunteers from boards of directors and
service in other capacities;
(3) the contribution of these programs to their communities
is thereby diminished, resulting in fewer and higher cost
programs than would be obtainable if volunteers were
participating;
(4) the efforts of nonprofit organizations, local
government, States, and the Federal Government to promote
voluntarism, and community and national service, are
adversely affected by the withdrawal of volunteers from
boards of directors and service in other capacities; and
(5) because Federal funds are expended on useful and cost-
effective social service programs which depend heavily on
volunteer participation, protection of voluntarism through
clarification and limitation of the personal liability risks
assumed by the volunteer in connection with such
participation is an appropriate subject for Federal
encouragement of State reform.
(b) Purpose.--The purposes of this title are to promote
programs of community and national service, to promote the
interests of social service program beneficiaries and
taxpayers, and to sustain the availability of programs and
nonprofit organizations and governmental entities which
depend on volunteer contributions, by encouraging reasonable
reform of laws to provide protection from personal financial
liability to volunteers serving with nonprofit organizations
and governmental entities for actions undertaken in good
faith on behalf of such organizations.
SEC. 502. NO PREEMPTION OF STATE TORT LAW.
Nothing in this title shall be construed to preempt the
laws of any State governing tort liability actions.
SEC. 503. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY FOR VOLUNTEERS.
(a) Liability Protection for Volunteers.--For purposes of
satisfying the requirement specified in section 129(a)(5) of
the National and Community Service Act of 1990, and except as
provided in subsections (b), (c), and (d), a State shall
provide by law that any volunteer of a nonprofit organization
or governmental entity shall incur no personal financial
liability for any tort claim alleging damage or injury from
any act or omission of the volunteer on behalf of the
organization or entity if--
(1) Such individual was acting in good faith and within the
scope of such individual's official functions and duties with
the organization or entity and such functions and duties are
directly connected to the administration of a program
described in section 122(a); and
[[Page 832]]
(2) such damage or injury was not caused by willful and
wanton misconduct by such individual.
(b) Concerning Responsibility of Volunteers With Respect to
Organizations.--Nothing in this section shall be construed to
affect any civil action brought by any nonprofit organization
or any governmental entity against any volunteer of such
organization or entity.
(c) No Effect on Liability of Organization.--Nothing in
this section shall be construed to affect the liability of
any nonprofit organization or governmental entity with
respect to injury caused to any person.
(d) Exceptions to Volunteer Liability Protection.--A State
may impose one or more of the following conditions on and
exceptions to the granting of liability protection to any
volunteer of an organization or entity required by subsection
(a):
(1) The organization or entity must adhere to risk
management procedures, including mandatory training of
volunteers.
(2) The organization or entity shall be liable for the acts
or omissions of its volunteers to the same extent as an
employer is liable, under the laws of that State, for the
acts or omissions of its employees.
(3) The protection from liability does not apply if the
volunteer was operating a motor vehicle or was operating a
vessel, aircraft, or other vehicle for which a pilot's
license is required.
(4) The protection from liability does not apply in the
case of a suit brought by an appropriate officer of a State
or local government to enforce a Federal, State, or local
law.
(5) The protection from liability shall apply only if the
organization or entity provides a financially secure source
of recovery for individuals who suffer injury as a result of
actions taken by a volunteer on behalf of the organization or
entity. A financially secure source of recovery may be an
insurance policy within specified limits, comparable coverage
from a risk pooling mechanism, equivalent assets, or
alternative arrangements that satisfy the State that the
entity will be able to pay for losses up to a specified
amount. Separate standards for different types of liability
exposure may be specified.
SEC. 504. DEFINITIONS.

In the matter proposed to be inserted by the amendment on
page 182 of the bill as section 102 of the National and
Community Service Act of 1990, insert before the close
quotation marks at the end of subsection (b) of such section
the following: ``Nothing in this section shall be construed
to prohibit or limit an Indian tribe, nonprofit organization,
or institution of higher education from receiving assistance,
participants, or volunteers under a national service law even
though the entity (unrelated to such assistance,
participants, or volunteers) provides religious instruction
to, or permits religious worship by, aliens who are not in
lawful immigration status in the United States.''.
Amendment submitted by Mr. BAKER of California:
Page 182, strike lines 3 through 5, and insert the
following new section (and conform the table of contents
accordingly):
SEC. 112. PROHIBITION ON SERVICES FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS.
(a) Prohibition.--Section 102 of the National and Community
Service Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12512) is amended to read as
follows:
``SEC. 102. PROHIBITION ON SERVICES FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS.
``(A) Prohibition.--Except as provided in subsection (b),
the Corporation may not make assistance available under this
Act to a national service program that provides services
directly to persons and is carried out by a Federal agency,
State, subdivision of a State, Indian tribe, public or
private nonprofit organization, or institution of higher
education or provide for the placement of volunteers under
the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973 with a public or
nonprofit private organization that provides services
directly to persons unless the program to receive the
assistance or the organization to receive the placement has a
written policy that prohibits the delivery of services to
aliens who are not in lawful immigration status in the United
States. In the case of a public or private nonprofit
organization covered by this subsection, the written policy
must apply with respect to all service programs conducted by
the organization whether or not a particular program receives
assistance or a volunteer placement.
``(b) Exception.--Subsection (a) shall not prohibit the
delivery of emergency services to aliens who are not in
lawful immigration status in the United States or educational
services required by law to be provided to such aliens if the
emergency or educational services are provided to such aliens
if the emergency or educational services are provided by a
program or organization that has a written policy of
reporting the presence of such aliens to the Immigration and
Naturalization Service.''.
(b) Table of Contents.--Section 1(b) of the National and
Community Service Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-610; 104 Stat.
3127) is amended by striking the item relating to section 102
of such Act and inserting the following:
``Sec. 102. Prohibition on services for illegal aliens.''

So the amendment was agreed to.
The question being put, viva voce,
Will the House agree to the following amendment [the Porter amendment]
on which a separate vote had been demanded?
At the end of the bill, add the following (and conform the
table of contents of the bill accordingly):
TITLE V--LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF VOLUNTEERS
SEC. 501. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds and declares that--
(1) within certain States, the willingness of volunteers to
offer their services has been increasingly deterred by a
perception that they thereby put personal assets at risk in
the event of liability actions against the organization they
serve;
(2) as a result of this perception, many nonprofit public
and private organizations and governmental entities,
including voluntary associations, social service
agencies,educational institutions, local governments,
foundations, and other civic programs, have been adversely
affected through the withdrawal of volunteers from boards of
directors and service in other capacities;
(3) the contribution of these programs to their communities
is thereby diminished, resulting in fewer and higher cost
programs than would be obtainable if volunteers were
participating;
(4) the efforts of nonprofit organizations, local
government, States, and the Federal Government to promote
voluntarism, and community and national service, are
adversely affected by the withdrawal of volunteers from
boards of directors and service in other capacities; and
(5) because Federal funds are expended on useful and cost-
effective social service programs which depend heavily
volunteer participation, protection of voluntarism through
clarification and limitation of the personal liability risks
assumed by the volunteer in connection with such
participation is an appropriate subject for Federal
encouragement of State reform.
(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this title are to promote
programs of community and national service, to promote the
interests of social service program beneficiaries and
taxpayers, and to sustain the availability of programs and
nonprofit organizations and governmental entities which
depend on volunteer contributions, by encouraging reasonable
reform of laws to provide protection from personal financial
liability to volunteers serving with nonprofit organizations
and governmental entities for actions undertaken in good
faith on behalf of such organizations.
SEC. 502. NO PREEMPTION OF STATE TORT LAW.
Nothing in this title shall be construed to preempt the
laws of any State governing tort liability actions.
SEC. 503. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR VOLUNTEERS.
(a) Liability Protection for Volunteers.--For purposes of
satisfying the requirement specified in section 129(a)(5) of
the National and Community Service Act of 1990, and except as
provided in subsections (b), (c), and (d), a State shall
provide by law that any volunteer of a nonprofit organization
or governmental entity shall incur no personal financial
liability for any tort claim alleging damage or injury from
any act or omission of the volunteer on behalf of the
organization or entity if--
(1) such individual was acting in good faith and within the
scope of such individual's official functions and duties with
the organization or entity and such functions and duties are
directly connected to the administration of a program
described in section 122(a); and
(2) such damage or injury was not caused by willful and
wanton misconduct by such individual.
(b) Concerning Responsibility of Volunteers With Respect to
Organizations.--Nothing in this section shall be construed to
affect any civil action brought by any nonprofit organization
or any governmental entity against any volunteer of such
organization or entity.
(c) No Effect on Liability of Organization.--Nothing in
this section shall be construed to affect the liability of
any nonprofit organization or governmental entity with
respect to injury caused to any person.
(d) Exceptions to Volunteer Liability Protection.--A State
shall impose the following conditions on and exceptions to
the granting of liability protection to any volunteer of an
organization or entity required by subsection (a):
(1) The organization or entity must adhere to risk
management procedures, including mandatory training of
volunteers.
(2) The organization or entity shall be liable for the acts
or omissions of its volunteers to the same extent as an
employer is liable, under the laws of that State, for the
acts or omissions of its employees.
(3) The protection from liability does not apply if the
volunteer was operating a motor vehicle or was operating a
vessel, aircraft, or other vehicle for which a pilot's
license is required.
(4) The protection from liability does not apply in the
case of a suit brought by an appropriate officer of a State
or local government to enforce a Federal, State, or local
law.
(5) The protection from liability shall apply only if the
organization or entity provides a financially secure source
of recovery for individuals who suffer injury as a result of
actions taken by a volunteer on behalf of the organization or
entity. A financially secure source of recovery may be an
insurance policy within specified limits, comparable coverage
from a risk pooling mechanism, equivalent assets, or
alternative arrangements that satisfy the State that the
entity will be able to pay for losses up to a specified
amount. Separate standards for different types of liability
exposure may be specified.
SEC. 504. DEFINITIONS.
For purposes of this title--
(1) the term ``volunteer'' means an individual performing
services for a nonprofit organization or a governmental
entity who does not receive compensation, or any other thing
of value in lieu of compensation, for such services (other
than reimbursement for expenses actually incurred or
honoraria not to exceed $300 per year for government
service), and such term includes a volunteer serving as a
director, officer, trustee, or direct service volunteer;
(2) the term ``nonprofit organization'' means any
organization described in section 501(c) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 and exempt from tax under section 501(a)
of such Code;
(3) the term ``damage or injury'' includes physical,
nonphysical, economic, and noneconomic damage; and
(4) the term ``State'' means each of the several States,
the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico,
the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern
Mariana Islands, any other territory or possession of the
United States, or any political subdivision of any such
State, territory, or possession.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, announced that the yeas had it.
Mr. WALKER demanded a recorded vote on agreeing to the amendment,
which demand was supported by one-fifth of a quorum, so a recorded vote
was ordered.
The vote was taken by electronic device.

unmet human, educational, environmental, and public safety
needs.
``(2) Americans desire to affirm common responsibilities
and shared values that transcend race, religion, disability,
or region.

number of citizens.
``(4) Americans of all ages can improve their communities
and become better citizens through service to the United
States.
``(5) Nonprofit organizations, local governments, States,
and the Federal Government are already supporting a wide
variety of national service programs that deliver needed
services in a cost-effective manner.
``(6) Residents of low-income communities, especially
youths and young adults in these communities, can be
empowered through their service to help provide future
community leadership.
``(b) Purposes.--It is the purpose of this Act to--
``(1) meet the unmet human, educational, environmental, and
public safety needs of the United States, without displacing
existing workers;
``(2) renew the ethic of civic responsibility and the
spirit of community throughout the United States;
``(3) expand educational opportunity by rewarding
individuals who participate in national service with an
increased ability to pursue higher education or job training;
``(4) encourage citizens of the United States, regardless
of age, income, or disability, to engage in full-time or
part-time national service;
``(5) reinvent government to eliminate duplication, support
locally established initiatives, require measurable goals for
performance, and offer flexibility in meeting those goals;
``(6) expand and strengthen existing service programs with
demonstrated experience in providing structured service
opportunities with visible benefits to the participants and
community;
``(7) build on the existing organizational service
infrastructure of Federal, State, and local programs and
agencies to expand full-time and part-time service
opportunities for all citizens; and
``(8) provide tangible benefits to the communities in which
national service is performed.''.

``(1) approve the provision of national service educational
awards described in subtitle D for the participants who serve

(a) Purchase of American-Made Equipment and Products.--In
the case of any equipment or product that may be authorized
to be purchased with financial assistance provided under this
Act (including the amendments made by this Act), it is the
sense of the Congress that entities receiving such assistance

financial assistance under this Act (including the amendments
made by this Act), the Secretary of Education shall provide
to each recipient of the assistance a notice describing the

If it has been finally determined by a court or Federal
agency that any person intentionally affixed a label bearing
a ``Made in America'' inscription, or any inscription with
the same meaning, to any product sold in or shipped to the
United States that is not made in the United States, the
person shall be ineligible to receive any contract or
subcontract made with funds appropriated to carry out this
Act, pursuant to the debarment, suspension, and ineligibility
procedures described in sections 9.400 through 9.409 of title
48, Code of Federal Regulations.
TITLE VI--LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF VOLUNTEERS
SEC. 601. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds and declares that--
(1) within certain States, the willingness of volunteers to
offer their services has been increasingly deterred by a
perception that they thereby put personal assets at risk in
the event of liability actions against the organization they
serve;
(2) as a result of this perception, many nonprofit public
and private organizations and governmental entities,
including voluntary associations, social service agencies,
educational institutions, local governments, foundations, and
other civic programs, have been adversely affected through
the withdrawal of volunteers from boards of directors and
service in other capacities;
(3) the contribution of these programs to their communities
is thereby diminished, resulting in fewer and higher cost
programs than would be obtainable if volunteers were
participating;
(4) the efforts of nonprofit organizations, local
government, States, and the Federal Government to promote
voluntarism, and community and national service, are
adversely affected by the withdrawal of volunteers from
boards of directors and service in other capacities; and
(5) because Federal funds are expended on useful and cost-
effective social service programs which depend heavily on
volunteer participation, protection of voluntarism through
clarification and limitation of the personal liability risks
assumed by the volunteer in connection with such
participation is an appropriate subject for Federal
encouragement of State reform.
(b) Purpose.--The purposes of this title are to promote
programs of community and national service, to promote the
interests of social service program beneficiaries and
taxpayers, and to sustain the availability of programs and
nonprofit organizations and governmental entities which
depend on vol-
[[Page 872]]
unteer contributions, by encouraging reasonable reform of
laws to provide protection from personal financial liability
to volunteers serving with nonprofit organizations and
governmental entities for actions undertaken in good faith on
behalf of such organizations.
SEC. 602. NO PREEMPTION OF STATE TORT LAW.
Nothing in this title shall be construed to preempt the
laws of any State governing tort liability actions.
SEC. 603. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY FOR VOLUNTEERS.
(a) Liability Protection for Volunteers.--For purposes of
satisfying the requirement specified in section 129(a)(5) of
the National and Community Service Act of 1990, and except as
provided in subsections (b), (c), and (d), a State shall
provide by law that any volunteer of a nonprofit organization
or governmental entity shall incur no personal financial
liability for any tort claim alleging damage or injury from
any act or omission of the volunteer on behalf of the
organization or entity if--
(1) such individual was acting in good faith and within the
scope of such individual's official functions and duties with
the organization or entity and such functions and duties are
directly connected to the administration of a program
described in section 122(a); and
(2) such damage or injury was not caused by willful and
wanton misconduct by such individual.
(b) Concerning Responsibility of Volunteers With Respect to
Organizations.--Nothing in this section shall be construed to
affect any civil action brought by any nonprofit organization
or any governmental entity against any volunteer of such
organization or entity.
(c) No Effect on Liability of Organization.--Nothing in
this section shall be construed to affect the liability of
any nonprofit organization or governmental entity with
respect to injury caused to any person.
(d) Exceptions to Volunteer Liability Protection.--A State
shall impose the following conditions on and exceptions to
the granting of liability protection to any volunteer of an
organization or entity required by subsection (a):
(1) The organization or entity must adhere to risk
management procedures, including mandatory training of
volunteers.
(2) The organization or entity shall be liable for the acts
or omissions of its volunteers to the same extent as an
employer is liable, under the laws of that State, for the
acts or omissions of its employees.
(3) The protection from liability does not apply if the
volunteer was operating a motor vehicle or was operating a
vessel, aircraft, or other vehicle for which a pilot's
license is required.
(4) The protection from liability does not apply in the
case of a suit brought by an appropriate officer of a State
or local government to enforce a Federal, State, or local
law.
(5) The protection from liability shall apply only if the
organization or entity provides a financially secure source
of recovery for individuals who suffer injury as a result of
actions taken by a volunteer on behalf of the organization or
entity. A financially secure source of recovery may be an
insurance policy within specified limits, comparable coverage
from a risk pooling mechanism, equivalent assets, or
alternative arrangements that satisfy the State that the
entity will be able to pay for losses up to a specified
amount. Separate standards for different types of liability
exposure may be specified.

So the amendment was agreed to.
The following amendment, as amended, was then agreed to:
Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``National Aeronautics and
Space Administration Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1994 and
1995''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds and declares that--
(1) the civil space program has the potential to contribute
to the advancement of technologies critical to the
competitiveness and productivity of United States industry;
(2) the core mission of the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration is, and depends upon, the extension of human
presence beyond Planet Earth, specifically by the
construction and operation of the International Space Station
Freedom in the near term, and by the acquisition and
development of knowledge necessary for expanding human
presence beyond low Earth orbit to other celestial bodies
over the middle and long term;
(3) the Administrator should explore ways of encouraging
voluntary retirements by National Aeronautics and Space
Administration personnel in order to facilitate any
restructuring associated with the redesign of the space
station;
(4) the reduction in international tensions and the end of
the Cold War provide an opportunity for the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration to achieve a closer
coordination with defense-related agencies and, consistent
with the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, to
reduce overlap and duplication among Federal space programs
and to take greater advantage of other Federal space
capabilities;
(5) the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
should play an active role in preserving a robust space
industrial base and should seek to strengthen incentives for
industry to conduct research and development for both Federal
mission needs and the diversification of space-related
applications;
(6) in the conduct of its space activities, the United
States should employ the existing space assets and
capabilities of the former
[[Page 879]]
Soviet Union on a selective basis when unique programmatic
benefits are offered, and should encourage a collaboration
between United States industry and the privatizing space
organizations of the former Soviet Union in developing future
space capabilities;
(7) in the conduct of space missions, the United States
should give preference to integrating the broad range of
``off-the-shelf'' existing space assets and capabilities
available from commercial sources; and
(8) consistent with paragraphs (1) through (6), because the
aluminum lithium external tank replaces the lift capability
enhancement of the Advanced Solid Rocket Motor, and because
of severe budgetary constraints and the need to reduce the
Federal deficit, the cancellation of the Advanced Solid
Rocket Motor program is necessary, and such cancellation will
result in a reduction of expenditures by the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration over 5 years of
$750,000,000, which is equal to 50 percent of the project
cost of such program over the 5-year period following the
date of enactment of this Act.
TITLE I--AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS
Subtitle A--Authorizations
SEC. 100. TOTAL AUTHORIZATION.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this subtitle, the
total amount authorized to be appropriated under sections
101(b), 102, 103, 104, and 105 for fiscal year 1994 shall not
exceed $12,889,000,000. Each amount stated in such sections
shall be reduced proportionately as necessary to meet the
requirement of this section.

development in aeronautics;
(5) maintaining state-of-the-art experimental facilities is
a key element of Federal investment in aeronautics research
and development;
(6) the long-term contribution of advances in aeronautics
to the economy and society will rely on a continued
commitment to pioneering research and development such as the
National Aero-Space Plane;
(7) the National Aero-Space Plane program should explore
the possibility of collaboration with other nations for
opportunities that would offer unique programmatic benefits
without compromising the strategic advantage to the United
States; and
(8) cost sharing for facilities use is a highly desirable
objective given the deficit reduction goals of the President
and the Congress.

Para. 93.37 message from the president--national emergency with respect
to iraq
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MORAN, 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 16, 1993, 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, 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. That order
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. The order prohibited
travel-related 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 was issued in order to align the
sanctions imposed by the United States with United Nations Security
Council Resolution 661 of August 6, 1990.
Executive Order No. 12817 was issued on October 21, 1992, to implement
in the United States measures adopted in United Nations Security Council
Resolution 778 of October 2, 1992. Resolution 778 requires U.N. member
states temporarily to transfer to a U.N. escrow account up to $200
million apiece in Iraqi oil sale proceeds paid by purchasers after the
imposition of U.N. sanctions on Iraq. These funds finance
Iraq's obligations for U.N. activities with respect to Iraq, including
expenses to verify Iraqi weapons destruction, and to provide
humanitarian assistance in Iraq on a nonpartisan basis. A portion of
the escrowed funds will also fund the activities of the U.N.
Compensation Commission in Geneva, which will handle claims from
victims of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. The funds placed in the escrow
account are to be returned, with interest, to the member states that
transferred them to the United Nations, as funds are received from
future sales of Iraqi oil authorized by the United Nations Security
Council. No member state is required to fund more than half of the
total contributions to the escrow account.
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 Orders Nos. 12724 and 12817 (the
``Executive Orders''). The report covers events from February 2, 1993,
through August 1, 1993.
1. There have been no amendments to the Iraqi Sanctions Regulations
during the reporting period.
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 International Emergency Economic Powers
Act and Iraqi Sanctions Regulations with respect to transactions
involving Iraq.
3. Investigation also continues into the roles played by various
individuals and firms outside Iraq in the Iraqi government procurement
network. These investigations may lead to additions to the Office of
Foreign Assets Control's listing of individuals and organizations
determined to be Specially Designated Nationals of the Government of
Iraq.
4. Pursuant to Executive Order No. 12817 implementing United Nations
Security Council Resolution 778, on October 26, 1992, the Office of
Foreign Assets Control directed the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to
establish a blocked account for receipt of certain post-August 6, 1990,
Iraqi oil sales proceeds, and to hold, invest, and transfer these funds
as required by the order. On May 18, 1993, following the payment of
$1,492,537.30 by the Government of the United Kingdom to a special
United Nations-controlled account, entitled United Nations Security
Council Resolution 778 Escrow Account, the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York was directed to transfer a corresponding amount of $1,492,537.30
from the blocked account it holds to the United Nations-controlled
account. Future transfers from the blocked Federal Reserve Bank of New
York account will be made on a matching basis up to the $200 million
for which the United States is potentially obligated pursuant to United
Nations Security Council Resolution 778.
5. Since the last report, there have been developments in two cases
filed against the Government of Iraq. Another ruling was issued in
Consarc Corporation v. Iraqi Ministry of Industry and Minerals et al.,
No. 90-2269 (D.D.C., March 9, 1993), which arose out of a contract for
the sale of furnaces by plaintiff to the Iraqi Ministry of Industry and
Minerals, an Iraqi governmental entity. In connection with the
contract, the Iraqi defendants opened an irrevocable letter of credit
with an Iraqi bank in favor of Consarc, which was advised by Pittsburgh
National Bank, with the Bank of New York entering into a confirmed
reimbursement agreement with the advising bank. Funds were set aside at
the Bank of New York, in an account of the Iraqi bank, for
reimbursement of the Bank of New York if Pittsburgh National Bank made
a payment to Consarc on the letter of credit and sought reimbursement
from the Bank of New York. Consarc received a down payment from the
Iraqi Ministry of Industry and Minerals and substantially manufactured
the furnaces. No goods were shipped prior to imposition of sanctions on
August 2, 1990, and the United States asserted that the funds on
deposit in the Iraqi bank account at the Bank of New York, as well as
the furnaces manufactured for the Iraqi government or the process of
any sale of those furnaces to third parties, were blocked. The district
court ruled on December 29, 1992, that the furnaces or their sales
proceeds were properly blocked pursuant to the declaration of the
national emergency and blocking of Iraqi government property interests.
However, according to the court, due to fraud on the part of the
Ministry of Industry and Minerals in concluding the sales contract, the
funds on deposit in an Iraqi bank account at the Bank of New York were
not the property of the Government of Iraq. The court ordered the
Office of Foreign Assets Control to unblock these funds, and required
Consarc to block the proceeds from the sale of one furnace and to hold
the remaining furnace as blocked property. On January 27, 1993, the
Office of Foreign Assets Control complied with the court's order and
licensed the unblocking of $6.4 million plus interest to Consarc. On
March 9, 1993, the court affirmed its ruling in response to Consarc's
motion to clarify the December 29 order and the Office of Foreign
Assets Control's motion to correct the judgment to conform to the
December 29 opinion. The Office of Foreign Assets Control and Consarc
have each appealed the district court's ruling.
In Brewer v. The Socialist People's Republic of Iraq, No. 91-5325
(D.C. Cir., 1993) the United States Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia Circuit affirmed the district court's ruling denying
appellant's motion to attach U.S.-located assets of the Government of
Iraq and its state tourism organization. Following the holding of Dames
& Moore v. Regan, 453 U.S. 654 (1981), the court upheld the power of
the Presi-
[[Page 906]]
dent to freeze foreign assets and prevent their attachment by private
litigants in times of national emergency.
6. The Office of Foreign Assets Control has issued a total of 391
specific licenses regarding transactions pertaining to Iraq or Iraqi
assets since August 1990. Since my last report, 54 specific licenses
have been issued. Licenses were issued for transactions such as the
filing of legal actions against Iraqi governmental entities, for legal
representation of Iraq, and the exportation to Iraq of donated
medicine, medical supplies, and food intended for humanitarian relief
purposes.
7. The expenses incurred by the Federal Government in the 6-month
period from February 2, 1993, through August 1, 1993, 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 about $2.5 million, most of which represents wage and salary costs
for Federal personnel. Personnel costs were largely centered in the
Department of the Treasury (particularly in the Office of Foreign
Assets Control, the U.S. Customs Service, the Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement, and the Office of the General Counsel), the
Department of State (particularly the Bureau of Economic and Business
Affairs, the Bureau of Near East and South Asian Affairs, the Bureau of
International Organizations, and the Office of the Legal Adviser), and
the Department of Transportation (particularly the U.S. Coast Guard).
8. 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, including those calling for the elimination of
Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, the inviolability of the Iraq-Kuwait
boundary, the release of Kuwaiti and other third country nationals,
compensation for victims of Iraqi aggression, long-term monitoring of
weapons of mass destruction capabilities, and the return of Kuwaiti
assets stolen during Iraq's illegal occupation of Kuwait. The U.N.
sanctions remain in place; the United States will continue to enforce
those sanctions under domestic authority.
The Baghdad government continued 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. The Iraqi
regime so far has refused to accept these resolutions and has thereby
chosen to perpetuate the suffering of its civilian population.
Discussions on implementing these resolutions resumed at the United
Nations on July 7, 1993.
The policies and actions of the Saddam Hussein regime continue 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. Because of Iraq's failure to comply fully with United Nations
Security Council resolutions, 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).
William J. Clinton.

participate in the direct student loan programs under this
part and that also has an agreement with the Secretary under

delivered to an institution by the Secretary prior to the

for repayment of such loan, including principal and interest
on the loan. The borrower shall be entitled to accelerate,
without penalty, repayment on the borrower's loans under this
part. The borrower may choose--
``(A) a standard repayment plan, with a fixed annual
repayment amount paid over a fixed period of time, consistent
with subsection (a)(1) of this section;

repayment amount paid over an extended period of time, except

amounts established at 2 or more graduated levels and paid
over a fixed or extended period of time, except that the
borrower's scheduled payments shall not be less than 50
percent, nor more than 150 percent, of what the amortized

annual repayment amounts based on the income of the borrower,
paid over an extended period of time prescribed by the
Secretary, not to exceed 25 years, except that the plan
described in this subparagraph shall not be available to the
borrower of a Federal Direct PLUS loan.
``(2) Selection by secretary.--If a borrower of a loan made
under this part does not select a repayment plan described in
paragraph (1), the Secretary may provide the borrower with a
repayment plan described in subparagraph (A), (B), or (C) of

under this part may change the borrower's selection of a

selection of a plan for the borrower under paragraph (2), as

established by the Secretary.
``(4) Alternative repayment plans.--The Secretary may
provide, on a case by case basis, an alternative repayment
plan to a borrower of a loan made under this part who
demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Secretary that the
terms and conditions of the repayment plans available under
paragraph (1) are not adequate to accommodate the borrower's
exceptional circumstances. In designing such alternative
repayment plans, the Secretary shall ensure that such plans
do not exceed the cost to the Federal Government, as
determined on the basis of the present value of future
payments by such borrowers, of loans made using the plans
available under paragraph (1).
``(5) Repayment after default.--The Secretary may require
any borrower who has defaulted on a loan made under this part

``(1) Information and procedures.--The Secretary may obtain
such information as is reasonably necessary regarding the
income of a borrower (and the borrower's spouse, if
applicable) of a loan made under this part that is, or may
be, repaid pursuant to income contingent repayment, for the
purpose of determining the annual repayment obligation of the
borrower. Returns and return information (as defined in
section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) may be
obtained under the preceding sentence only to the extent
authorized by section 6103(l)(13) of such Code. The Secretary
shall establish procedures for determining the borrower's
repayment obligation on that loan for such year, and such
other procedures as are necessary to implement effectively
income contingent repayment.
``(2) Repayment based on adjusted gross income.--A
repayment schedule for a loan made under this part and repaid
pursuant to income contingent repayment shall be based on the
adjusted gross income (as defined in section 62 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986) of the borrower or, if the
borrower is married and files a Federal income tax return
jointly with the borrower's spouse, on the adjusted gross
income of the borrower and the borrower's spouse.

required, to repay a loan
[[Page 942]]
made under this part pursuant to income contingent repayment,
and for whom adjusted gross income is unavailable or does not
reasonably reflect the borrower's current income, shall
provide to the Secretary other documentation of income
satisfactory to the Secretary, which documentation the
Secretary may use to determine an appropriate repayment
schedule.
``(4) Repayment schedules.--Income contingent repayment
schedules shall be established by regulations promulgated by
the Secretary and shall require payments that vary in
relation to the appropriate portion of the annual income of
the borrower (and the borrower's spouse, if applicable) as
determined by the Secretary.
``(5) Calculation of balance due.--The balance due on a
loan made under this part that is repaid pursuant to income
contingent repayment shall equal the unpaid principal amount
of the loan, any accrued interest, and any fees, such as late
charges, assessed on such loan. The Secretary may promulgate
regulations limiting the amount of interest that may be
capitalized on such loan, and the timing of any such
capitalization.
``(6) Notification to borrowers.--The Secretary shall
establish procedures under which a borrower of a loan made
under this part who chooses or is required to repay such loan
pursuant to income contingent repayment is notified of the
terms and conditions of such plan, including notification of
such borrower--
``(A) that the Internal Revenue Service will disclose to
the Secretary tax return information as authorized under
section 6103(l)(13) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; and
``(B) that if a borrower considers that special
circumstances, such as a loss of employment by the borrower
or the borrower's spouse, warrant an adjustment in the
borrower's loan repayment as determined using the information
described in subparagraph (A), or the alternative
documentation described in paragraph (3), the borrower may
contact the Secretary, who shall determine whether such
adjustment is appropriate, in accordance with criteria
established by the Secretary.

repaid on such loan.

``SEC. 113. IDENTIFICATION OF REALLOCABLE FREQUENCIES.
``(a) Identification Required.--The Secretary shall, within
18 months after the date of the enactment of the Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, prepare and submit to the
President and the Congress a report identifying and
recommending for reallocation bands of frequencies--
``(1) that are allocated on a primary basis for Federal
Government use;
``(2) that are not required for the present or identifiable
future needs of the Federal Government;
``(3) that can feasibly be made available, as of the date
of submission of the report or at any time during the next 15
years, for use under the 1934 Act (other than for Federal
Government stations under section 305 of the 1934 Act);
``(4) the transfer of which (from Federal Government use)
will not result in costs to the Federal Government, or losses
of services or benefits to the public, that are excessive in
relation to the benefits to the public that may be provided
by non-Federal licensees; and
``(5) that are most likely to have the greatest potential
for productive uses and public benefits under the 1934 Act if
allocated for non-Federal use.
``(b) Minimum Amount of Spectrum Recommended.--
``(1) In general.--In accordance with the provisions of
this section, the Secretary shall recommend for reallocation,
for use other than by Federal Government stations under
section 305 of the 1934 Act (47 U.S.C. 305), bands of
frequencies that in the aggregate span not less than 200
megahertz, that are located below 5 gigahertz, and that meet
the criteria specified in paragraphs (1) through (5) of
subsection (a). Such bands of frequencies shall include bands
of frequencies, located below 3 gigahertz, that span in the
aggregate not less than 100 megahertz.
``(2) Mixed uses permitted to be counted.--Bands of
frequencies which a report of the Secretary under subsection
(a) or (d)(1) recommends be partially retained for use by
Federal Government stations, but which are also recommended
to be reallocated to be made available under the 1934 Act for
use by non-Federal stations, may be counted toward the
minimum spectrum required by paragraph (1) of this
subsection, except that--
``(A) the bands of frequencies counted under this paragraph
may not count toward more than one-half of the minimums
required by paragraph (1) of this subsection;
``(B) a band of frequencies may not be counted under this
paragraph unless the assignments of the band to Federal
Government stations under section 305 of the 1934 Act (47
U.S.C. 305) are limited by geographic area, by time, or by
other means so as to guarantee that the potential use to be
made by such Federal Government stations is substantially
less (as measured by geographic area, time, or otherwise)
than the potential use to be made by non-Federal stations;
and
``(C) the operational sharing permitted under this
paragraph shall be subject to the interference regulations
prescribed by the Commission pursuant to section 305(a) of
the 1934 Act and to coordination procedures that the
Commission and the Secretary shall jointly establish and
implement to ensure against harmful interference.
``(c) Criteria for Identification.--
``(1) Needs of the federal government.--In determining
whether a band of frequencies meets the criteria specified in
subsection (a)(2), the Secretary shall--
``(A) consider whether the band of frequencies is used to
provide a communications service that is or could be
available from a commercial provider or other vendor;
``(B) seek to promote--
``(i) the maximum practicable reliance on commercially
available substitutes;
``(ii) the sharing of frequencies (as permitted under
subsection (b)(2));
``(iii) the development and use of new communications
technologies; and

practicable; and
``(C) seek to avoid--
``(i) serious degradation of Federal Government services
and operations;
``(ii) excessive costs to the Federal Government and users
of Federal Government services; and
``(iii) excessive disruption of existing use of Federal
Government frequencies by amateur radio licensees.
``(2) Feasibility of use.--In determining whether a
frequency band meets the criteria specified in subsection
(a)(3), the Secretary shall--
``(A) assume that the frequency will be assigned by the
Commission under section 303 of the 1934 Act (47 U.S.C. 303)
within 15 years;
``(B) assume reasonable rates of scientific progress and
growth of demand for telecommunications services;
``(C) seek to include frequencies which can be used to
stimulate the development of new technologies; and
``(D) consider the immediate and recurring costs to
reestablish services displaced by the reallocation of
spectrum.
``(3) Analysis of benefits.--In determining whether a band
of frequencies meets the criteria specified in subsection
(a)(5), the Secretary shall consider--
``(A) the extent to which equipment is or will be available
that is capable of utilizing the band;
``(B) the proximity of frequencies that are already
assigned for commercial or other non-Federal use;
``(C) the extent to which, in general, commercial users
could share the frequency with amateur radio licensees; and
``(D) the activities of foreign governments in making
frequencies available for experimentation or commercial
assignments in order to support their domestic manufacturers
of equipment.
``(4) Power agency frequencies.--
``(A) Applicability of criteria.--The criteria specified by
subsection (a) shall be deemed not to be met for any purpose
under this part with regard to any frequency assignment to,
or any frequency assignment used by, a Federal power agency
for the purpose of withdrawing that assignment.
``(B) Mixed use eligibility.--The frequencies assigned to
any Federal power agency may only be eligible for mixed use
under subsection (b)(2) in geographically separate areas, but
in those cases where a frequency is to be shared by an
affected Federal power agency and a non-Federal user, such
use by the non-Federal user shall not cause harmful
interference to the affected Federal power agency or
adversely affect the reliability of its power system.
``(C) Definition.--As used in this paragraph, the term
`Federal power agency' means the Tennessee Valley Authority,
the Bonneville Power Administration, the Western Area Power
Administration, the Southwestern Power Administration, the
Southeastern Power Administration, or the Alaska Power
Administration.
``(5) Limitation on reallocation.--None of the frequencies
recommended for reallocation in the reports required by this
subsection shall have been recommended, prior
[[Page 951]]
to the date of enactment of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act of 1993, for reallocation to non-Federal use by
international agreement.
``(d) Procedure for Identification of Reallocable Bands of
Frequencies.--
``(1) Submission of preliminary identification to
congress.--Within 6 months after the date of the enactment of
the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, the Secretary

Commission shall, within 90 days after the conclusion of the
period for comment provided pursuant to paragraph (2), submit
to the Secretary the Commission's analysis of such comments
and the Commission's recommendations for responses to such
comments, together with such other comments and
recommendations as the Commission deems appropriate.
``(4) Direct discussions.--The Secretary shall encourage
and provide opportunity for direct discussions among
commercial representatives and Federal Government users of
the spectrum to aid the Secretary in determining which
frequencies to recommend for reallocation. The Secretary
shall provide notice to the public and the Commission of any
such discussions, including the name or names of any
businesses or other persons represented in such discussions.
A representative of the Commission (and of the Secretary at
the election of the Secretary) shall be permitted to attend
any such discussions. The Secretary shall provide the public
and the Commission with an opportunity to comment on the
results of any such discussions prior to the submission of

pursuant to paragraph (3), the Commission shall--
``(A) consider alternative payment schedules and methods of
calculation, including lump sums or guaranteed installment
payments, with or without royalty payments, or other
schedules or methods that promote the objectives described in
paragraph (3)(B), and combinations of such schedules and
methods;
``(B) include performance requirements, such as appropriate
deadlines and penalties for performance failures, to ensure
prompt delivery of service to rural areas, to prevent
stockpiling or warehousing of spectrum by licensees or
permittees, and to promote investment in and rapid deployment
of new technologies and services;

following:
``(i) Random Selection.--
``(1) General authority.--If--
``(A) there is more than one application for any initial
license or construction permit which will involve a use of
the electromagnetic spectrum; and
``(B) the Commission has determined that the use is not
described in subsection (j)(2)(A);
then the Commission shall have the authority to grant such
license or permit to a qualified applicant through the use of
a system of random selection.''; and
(B) in paragraph (4), by adding at the end the following
new subparagraph:
``(C) Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment

transfer disclosures and antitrafficking restrictions and
payment schedules as are necessary to prevent the unjust
enrichment of recipients of licenses or permits as a result
of the methods employed to issue licenses under this
subsection.''.
(2) Regulatory treatment to enhance auction value of
spectrum licenses.--
(A) Amendment.--Section 332 of the Communications Act of
1934 (47 U.S.C. 332) is amended--
(i) by striking ``private land'' from the heading of the
section;
(ii) by striking ``land'' each place it appears in
subsections (a) and (b); and
(iii) by striking subsection (c) and inserting the
following:
``(c) Regulatory Treatment of Mobile Services.--
``(1) Common carrier treatment of commercial mobile
services.--(A) A person engaged in the provision of a service
that is a commercial mobile service shall, insofar as such
person is so engaged, be treated as a common carrier for
purposes of this Act, except for such provisions of title II
as the Commission may specify by regulation as inapplicable
to that service or person. In prescribing or amending any
such regulation, the Commission may not specify any provision
of section 201, 202, or 208, and may specify any other
provision only if the Commission determines that--
``(i) enforcement of such provision is not necessary in
order to ensure that the charges, practices, classifications,
or regulations for or in connection with that service are
just and reasonable and are not unjustly or unreasonably
discriminatory;
``(ii) enforcement of such provision is not necessary for
the protection of consumers; and
``(iii) specifying such provision is consistent with the
public interest.
``(B) Upon reasonable request of any person providing
commercial mobile service, the
[[Page 954]]
Commission shall order a common carrier to establish physical
connections with such service pursuant to the provisions of
section 201 of this Act. Except to the extent that the
Commission is required to respond to such a request, this
subparagraph shall not be construed as a limitation or
expansion of the Commission's authority to order
interconnection pursuant to this Act.
``(C) The Commission shall review competitive market
conditions with respect to commercial mobile services and
shall include in its annual report an analysis of those
conditions. Such analysis shall include an identification of
the number of competitors in various commercial mobile
services, an analysis of whether or not there is effective
competition, an analysis of whether any of such competitors
have a dominant share of the market for such services, and a
statement of whether additional providers or classes of
providers in those services would be likely to enhance
competition. As a part of making a determination with respect
to the public interest under subparagraph (A)(iii), the
Commission shall consider whether the proposed regulation (or
amendment thereof) will promote competitive market
conditions, including the extent to which such regulation (or
amendment) will enhance competition among providers of
commercial mobile services. If the Commission determines that
such regulation (or amendment) will promote competition among
providers of commercial mobile services, such determination
may be the basis for a Commission finding that such
regulation (or amendment) is in the public interest.
``(D) The Commission shall, not later than 180 days after
the date of enactment of this subparagraph, complete a
rulemaking required to implement this paragraph with respect
to the licensing of personal communications services,
including making any determinations required by subparagraph
(C).
``(2) Non-common carrier treatment of private mobile
services.--A person engaged in the provision of a service
that is a private mobile service shall not, insofar as such
person is so engaged, be treated as a common carrier for any
purpose under this Act. A common carrier (other than a person
that was treated as a provider of a private land mobile
service prior to the enactment of the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1993) shall not provide any dispatch
service on any frequency allocated for common carrier
service, except to the extent such dispatch service is
provided on stations licensed in the domestic public land
mobile radio service before January 1, 1982. The Commission
may by regulation terminate, in whole or in part, the
prohibition contained in the preceding sentence if the
Commission determines that such termination will serve the
public interest.
``(3) State preemption.--(A) Notwithstanding sections 2(b)
and 221(b), no State or local government shall have any
authority to regulate the entry of or the rates charged by
any commercial mobile service or any private mobile service,
except that this paragraph shall not prohibit a State from
regulating the other terms and conditions of commercial
mobile services. Nothing in this subparagraph shall exempt
providers of commercial mobile services (where such services
are a substitute for land line telephone exchange service for
a substantial portion of the communications within such
State) from requirements imposed by a State commission on all
providers of telecommunications services necessary to ensure
the universal availability of telecommunications service at
affordable rates. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this
subparagraph, a State may petition the Commission for
authority to regulate the rates for any commercial mobile
service and the Commission shall grant
such petition if such State demonstrates that--
``(i) market conditions with respect to such services fail
to protect subscribers adequately from unjust and
unreasonable rates or rates that are unjustly or unreasonably
discriminatory; or
``(ii) such market conditions exist and such service is a
replacement for land line telephone exchange service for a
substantial portion of the telephone land line exchange
service within such State.
The Commission shall provide reasonable opportunity for
public comment in response to such petition, and shall,
within 9 months after the date of its submission, grant or
deny such petition. If the Commission grants such petition,
the Commission shall authorize the State to exercise under
State law such authority over rates, for such periods of
time, as the Commission deems necessary to ensure that such
rates are just and reasonable and not unjustly or
unreasonably discriminatory.
``(B) If a State has in effect on June 1, 1993, any
regulation concerning the rates for any commercial mobile
service offered in such State on such date, such State may,
no later than 1 year after the date of enactment of the
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, petition the
Commission requesting that the State be authorized to
continue exercising authority over such rates. If a State
files such a petition, the State's existing regulation shall,
notwithstanding subparagraph (A), remain in effect until the
Commission completes all action (including any
reconsideration) on such petition. The Commission shall
review such petition in accordance with the procedures
established in such subparagraph, shall complete all action
(including any reconsideration) within 12 months after such
petition is filed, and shall grant such petition if the State
satisfies the showing required under subparagraph (A)(i) or
(A)(ii). If the Commission grants such petition, the
Commission shall authorize the State to exercise under State
law such authority over rates, for such period of time, as
the Commission deems necessary to ensure that such rates are
just and reasonable and not unjustly or unreasonably
discriminatory. After a reasonable period of time, as
determined by the Commission, has elapsed from the issuance
of an order under subparagraph (A) or this subparagraph, any
interested party may petition the Commission for an order
that the exercise of authority by a State pursuant to such
subparagraph is no longer necessary to ensure that the rates
for commercial mobile services are just and reasonable and
not unjustly or unreasonably discriminatory. The Commission
shall provide reasonable opportunity for public comment in
response to such petition, and shall, within 9 months after
the date of its submission, grant or deny such petition in
whole or in part.
``(4) Regulatory treatment of communications satellite
corporation.--Nothing in this subsection shall be construed
to alter or affect the regulatory treatment required by title
IV of the Communications Satellite of 1962 of the corporation
authorized by title III of such Act.
``(5) Space segment capacity.--Nothing in this section
shall prohibit the Commission from continuing to determine
whether the provision of space segment capacity by satellite
systems to providers of commercial mobile services shall be
treated as common carriage.
``(6) Foreign ownership.--The Commission, upon a petition
for waiver filed within 6 months after the date of enactment
of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, may waive
the application of section 310(b) to any foreign ownership
that lawfully existed before May 24, 1993, of any provider of
a private land mobile service that will be
treated as a common carrier as a result of the enactment of
the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, but only upon
the following conditions:
``(A) The extent of foreign ownership interest shall not be
increased above the extent which existed on May 24, 1993.
``(B) Such waiver shall not permit the subsequent transfer
of ownership to any other person in violation of section
310(b).
``(d) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--
``(1) the term `commercial mobile service' means any mobile
service (as defined in section 3(n)) that is provided for
profit and makes interconnected service available (A) to the
public or (B) to such classes of eligible users as to be
effectively available to a substantial portion of the public,
as specified by regulation by the Commission;
``(2) the term `interconnected service' means service that
is interconnected with the public switched network (as such
terms are defined by regulation by the Commission) or service
for which a request for interconnection is pending pursuant
to subsection (c)(1)(B); and
``(3) the term `private mobile service' means any mobile
service (as defined in section 3(n)) that is not a commercial
mobile service or the functional equivalent of a commercial
mobile service, as specified by regulation by the
Commission.''.
(B) Additional conforming amendments.--(i) Section 2(b) of
the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 152(b)) is amended
by inserting ``and section 332,'' after ``inclusive,''.
(ii) Section 3 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C.
153) is amended--
(I) in subsection (n) by inserting ``(1)'' after ``and
includes'', and by inserting before the period at the end the
following: ``, (2) a mobile service which provides a
regularly interacting group of base, mobile, portable, and
associated control and relay stations (whether licensed on an
individual, cooperative, or multiple basis) for private one-
way or two-way land mobile radio communications by eligible
users over designated areas of operation, and (3) any service
for which a license is required in a personal communications
service established pursuant to the proceeding entitled
`Amendment to the Commission's Rules to Establish New
Personal Communications Services' (GEN Docket No. 90-314; ET
Docket No. 92-100), or any successor proceeding''; and
(II) by striking subsection (gg).
(c) Effective Dates.--

amendments made by this section are effective on the date of
enactment of this Act.
(2) Effective dates of mobile service amendments.--The
amendments made by subsection (b)(2) shall be effective on

as amended by such subsection, shall take effect 1 year after
such date of enactment; and
(B) any private land mobile service provided by any person
before such date of enactment, and any paging service
utilizing frequencies allocated as of January 1, 1993, for
private land mobile services, shall, except for purposes of
section 332(c)(6) of such Act, be treated as a private mobile
service until 3 years after such date of enactment.

Commission's Rules to Establish New Personal Communications
Services'' (GEN Docket No. 90-314; ET Docket No. 92-100); and
(B) within 270 days after such date of enactment, commence
issuing licenses and permits in the personal communications
service.
(3) Transitional rulemaking for mobile service providers.--
Within 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the
Federal Communications Commission--

regulations applicable (before the date of enactment of this
Act) to private land mobile services as are necessary to
implement the amendments made by subsection (b)(2);
(B) in the regulations that will, after such date of
enactment, apply to a service that was a private land mobile
service and that becomes a commercial mobile service (as a
consequence of such amendments), shall make such other
modifications or terminations as may be necessary and
practical to assure that licensees in such service are
subjected to technical requirements that are comparable to
the technical requirements that apply to licensees that are
providers of substantially similar common carrier services;
(C) shall issue such other regulations as are necessary to

SEC. 6003. ADDITIONAL COMMUNICATIONS FEES.
(a) Regulatory fees.--
(1) Amendment.--Title I of the Communications Act of 1934
is amended by inserting after section 8 the following new
section:
``SEC. 9. REGULATORY FEES.
``(a) General Authority.--The Commission, in accordance
with this section, shall assess and collect regulatory fees
to recover the costs of the following regulatory activities
of the Commission: enforcement activities, policy and
rulemaking activities, user information services, and
international activities.
``(b) Establishment and Adjustment of Regulatory Fees.--
``(1) In general.--The fees assessed under subsection (a)
shall--
``(A) be derived by determining the full-time equivalent
number of employees performing the activities described in
subsection (a) within the Private Radio Bureau, Mass Media
Bureau, Common Carrier Bureau, and other offices of the
Commission, adjusted to take into account factors that are
reasonably related to the benefits provided to the payor of
the fee by the Commission's activities, including such
factors as service area coverage, shared use versus exclusive
use, and other factors that the Commission determines are
necessary in the public interest;
``(B) be established at amounts that will result in
collection, during each fiscal year, of an amount that can
reasonably be expected to equal the amount appropriated for
such fiscal year for the performance of the activities
described in subsection (a); and
``(C) until adjusted or amended by the Commission pursuant
to paragraph (2) or (3), be the fees established by the
Schedule of Regulatory Fees in subsection (g).
``(2) Mandatory adjustment of schedule.--For any fiscal
year after fiscal year 1994, the Commission shall, by rule,
revise the Schedule of Regulatory Fees by proportionate
increases or decreases to reflect, in accordance with
paragraph (1)(B), changes in the amount appropriated for the
performance of the activities described in subsection (a) for
such fiscal year. Such proportionate increases or decreases
shall--
``(A) be adjusted to reflect, within the overall amounts
described in appropriations Act under the authority of
paragraph (1)(A), unexpected increases or decreases in the
number of licensees or units subject to payment of such fees;
and
``(B) be established at amounts that will result in
collection of an aggregate amount of fees pursuant to this
section that can reasonably be expected to equal the
aggregate amount of fees that are required to be collected by
appropriations Acts pursuant to paragraph (1)(B).
Increases or decreases in fees made by adjustments pursuant
to this paragraph shall not be subject to judicial review. In
making adjustments pursuant to this paragraph the Commission
may round such fees to the nearest $5 in the case of fees
under $1,000, or to the nearest $25 in the case of fees of
$1,000 or more.
``(3) Permitted amendments.--In addition to the adjustments
required by paragraph (2), the Commission shall, by
regulation, amend the Schedule of Regulatory Fees if the
Commission determines that the Schedule requires amendment to
comply with the requirements of paragraph (1)(A). In making
such amendments, the Commission shall add, delete, or
reclassify services in the Schedule to reflect additions,
deletions, or changes in the nature of its services as a
consequence of Commission rulemaking proceedings or changes
in law. Increases or decreases in fees made by amendments
pursuant to this paragraph shall not be subject to judicial
review.
``(4) Notice to congress.--The Commission shall--
``(A) transmit to the Congress notification of any
adjustment made pursuant to paragraph (2) immediately upon
the adoption of such adjustment; and
``(B) transmit to the Congress notification of any
amendment made pursuant to paragraph (3) not later than 90
days before the effective date of such amendment.
``(c) Enforcement.--
``(1) Penalties for late payment.--The Commission shall
prescribe by regulation an additional charge which shall be
assessed as a penalty for late payment of fees required by
subsection (a) of this section. Such penalty shall be 25
percent of the amount of the fee which was not paid in a
timely manner.
``(2) Dismissal of applications for filings.--The
Commission may dismiss any application or other filing for
failure to pay in a timely manner any fee or penalty under
this section.
``(3) Revocations.--In addition to or in lieu of the
penalties and dismissals authorized by paragraphs (1) and
(2), the Commission may revoke any instrument of
authorization held by any entity that has failed to make
payment of a regulatory fee assessed pursuant to this
section. Such revocation action may be taken by the
Commission after notice of the Commission's intent to take
such action is sent to the licensee by registered mail,
return receipt requested, at the licensee's last known
address. The notice will provide the licensee at least 30
days to either pay the fee or show cause why the fee does not
apply to the licensee or should otherwise be waived or
payment deferred. A hearing is not required under this
subsection unless the licensee's response presents a
substantial and material question of fact. In any case where
a hearing is conducted pursuant to this section, the hearing
shall be based on written evidence only, and the burden of
proceeding with the introduction of evidence and the burden
of proof shall be on the licensee. Unless the licensee
substantially prevails in the hearing, the Commission may
assess the licensee for the costs of such hearing. Any
Commission order adopted pursuant to this subsection shall
determine the amount due, if any, and provide the licensee
with at least 30 days to pay that amount or have its
authorization revoked. No order of revocation under this
subsection shall become final until the licensee has
exhausted its right to judicial review of such order under
section 402(b)(5) of this title.
``(d) Waiver, Reduction, and Deferment.--The Commission may
waive, reduce, or defer payment of a fee in any specific
instance for good cause shown, where such action would
promote the public interest.
``(e) Deposit of Collections.--Moneys received from fees
established under this section shall be deposited as an
offsetting collection in, and credited to, the account
providing appropriations to carry out the functions of the
Commission.
``(f) Regulations.--
``(1) In general.--The Commission shall prescribe
appropriate rules and regulations to carry out the provisions
of this section. Such rules and regulations shall permit
payment by installments in the case of fees in large amounts,
and in the case of fees in small amounts, shall require the
payment of the fee in advance for a number of years not to
exceed the term of the license held by the payor.
``(g) Schedule.--Until amended by the Commission pursuant
to subsection (b), the Schedule of Regulatory Fees which the
Federal Communications Commission shall, subject to
subsection (a)(2), assess and collect shall be as follows:

respect to the treatment of a specific disease or condition
for an identified population (if any) only if, based on the
drug's labeling (or, in the case of a drug the prescribed use
of which is not approved under the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act but is a medically accepted indication, based on
information from the appropriate compendia described in
subsection (k)(6)), the excluded drug does not have a

State plan under this title may require, as a condition of
coverage or payment for a covered outpatient drug for which
Federal financial participation is available in accordance
with this section, with respect to drugs dispensed on or

telecommunication device within 24 hours of a request for
prior authorization; and

limitations, with respect to all such drugs in a therapeutic
class, on the minimum or maximum quantities per prescription

necessary to discourage waste, and may address instances of
fraud or abuse by individuals in any manner authorized under
this Act.

1, 1991, and ending on December 31, 1994--

covered outpatient drug or the dispensing fee for such a drug
below the limits in effect as of January 1, 1991, and

Regulations, in effect on November 5, 1990, to reduce the
limits described in subparagraph (A).

the regulations described in paragraph (1)(B), paragraph
(1)(A) shall not apply to such State until such State is in
compliance with such regulations.

amendments have been promulgated by such date.
(2) In the case of a State plan under title XIX of the
Social Security Act which the Secretary of Health and Human
Services determines requires State legislation in order for
the plan to meet the additional requirements imposed by the
amendments made by this section, the State plan shall not be
regarded as failing to comply with the requirements of such
title solely on the basis of its failure to meet these
additional requirements before the first day of the first
calendar quarter beginning after the close of the first
regular session of the State legislature that begins after
the date of enactment of this Act. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, in the case of a State that has a 2-year

deemed to be a separate regular session of the State
legislature.

unless the State demonstrates to the satisfaction of the
Secretary that the effective operation of such a unit in the

``program for distribution of pediatric vaccines
``Sec. 1928. (a) Establishment of Program.--
``(1) In general.--In order to meet the requirement of
section 1902(a)(62), each State shall establish a pediatric
vaccine distribution program (which may be administered by
the State department of health), consistent with the
requirements of this section, under which--
``(A) each vaccine-eligible child (as defined in subsection
(b)), in receiving an immunization with a qualified pediatric
vaccine (as defined in subsection (h)(8)) from a program-
registered provider (as defined in subsection
[[Page 1020]]
(c)) on or after October 1, 1994, is entitled to receive the
immunization without charge for the cost of such vaccine; and
``(B)(i) each program-registered provider who administers
such a pediatric vaccine to a vaccine-eligible child on or
after such date is entitled to receive such vaccine under the
program without charge either for the vaccine or its delivery
to the provider, and (ii) no vaccine is distributed under the
program to a provider unless the provider is a program-
registered provider.
``(2) Delivery of sufficient quantities of pediatric
vaccines to immunize federally vaccine-eligible children.--
``(A) In general.--The Secretary shall provide under
subsection (d) for the purchase and delivery on behalf of
each State meeting the requirement of section 1902(a)(62)
(or, with respect to vaccines administered by an Indian tribe
or tribal organization to Indian children, directly to the
tribe or organization), without charge to the State, of such
quantities of qualified pediatric vaccines as may be
necessary for the administration of such vaccines to all
Federally vaccine-eligible children in the State on or after
October 1, 1994. This paragraph constitutes budget authority
in advance of appropriations Acts, and represents the
obligation of the Federal Government to provide for the
purchase and delivery to States of the vaccines (or payment
under subparagraph (C)) in accordance with this paragraph.
``(B) Special rules where vaccine is unavailable.--To the
extent that a sufficient quantity of a vaccine is not
available for purchase or delivery under subsection (d), the
Secretary shall provide for the purchase and delivery of the
available vaccine in accordance with priorities established
by the Secretary, with priority given to Federally vaccine-
eligible children unless the Secretary finds there are other
public health considerations.
``(C) Special rules where state is a manufacturer.--
``(i) Payments in lieu of vaccines.--In the case of a State
that manufactures a pediatric vaccine the Secretary, instead
of providing the vaccine on behalf of a State under
subparagraph (A), shall provide to the State an amount equal
to the value of the quantity of such vaccine that otherwise
would have been delivered on behalf of the State under such
subparagraph, but only if the State agrees that such payments
will only be used for purposes relating to pediatric
immunizations.
``(ii) Determination of value.--In determining the amount
to pay a State under clause (i) with respect to a pediatric
vaccine, the value of the quantity of vaccine shall be
determined on the basis of the price in effect for the
qualified pediatric vaccine under contracts under subsection
(d). If more than 1 such contract is in effect, the Secretary
shall determine such value on the basis of the average of the
prices under the contracts, after weighting each such price
in relation to the quantity of vaccine under the contract
involved.
``(b) Vaccine-Eligible Children.--For purposes of this
section:
``(1) In general.--The term `vaccine-eligible child' means
a child who is a Federally vaccine-eligible child (as defined
in paragraph (2)) or a State vaccine-eligible child (as
defined in paragraph (3)).
``(2) Federally vaccine-eligible child.--
``(A) In general.--The term `Federally vaccine-eligible
child' means any of the following children:
``(i) A medicaid-eligible child.
``(ii) A child who is not insured.
``(iii) A child who (I) is administered a qualified
pediatric vaccine by a Federally-qualified health center (as
defined in section 1905(l)(2)(B)) or a rural health clinic
(as defined in section 1905(l)(1)), and (II) is not insured
with respect to the vaccine.
``(iv) A child who is an Indian (as defined in subsection
(h)(3)).
``(B) Definitions.--In subparagraph (A):
``(i) The term `medicaid-eligible' means, with respect to a
child, a child who is entitled to medical assistance under a
state plan approved under this title.
``(ii) The term `insured' means, with respect to a child--
``(I) for purposes of subparagraph (A)(ii), that the child
is enrolled under, and entitled to benefits under, a health
insurance policy or plan, including a group health plan, a
prepaid health plan, or an employee welfare benefit plan
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974;
and
``(II) for purposes of subparagraph (A)(iii)(II) with
respect to a pediatric vaccine, that the child is entitled to
benefits under such a health insurance policy or plan, but
such benefits are not available with respect to the cost of
the pediatric vaccine.
``(3) State vaccine-eligible child.--The term `State
vaccine-eligible child' means, with respect to a State and a
qualified pediatric vaccine, a child who is within a class of
children for which the State is purchasing the vaccine
pursuant to subsection (d)(4)(B).
``(c) Program-Registered Providers.--
``(1) Defined.--In this section, except as otherwise
provided, the term `program-registered provider' means, with
respect to a State, any health care provider that--
``(A) is licensed or otherwise authorized for
administration of pediatric vaccines under the law of the
State in which the administration occurs (subject to section
333(e) of the Public Health Service Act), without regard to
whether or not the provider participates in the plan under
this title;
``(B) submits to the State an executed provider agreement
described in paragraph (2); and
``(C) has not been found, by the Secretary or the State, to
have violated such agreement or other applicable requirements
established by the Secretary or the State consistent with
this section.
``(2) Provider agreement.--A provider agreement for a
provider under this paragraph is an agreement (in such form
and manner as the Secretary may require) that the provider
agrees as follows:
``(A)(i) Before administering a qualified pediatric vaccine
to a child, the provider will ask a parent of the child such
questions as are necessary to determine whether the child is
a vaccine-eligible child, but the provider need not
independently verify the answers to such questions.
``(ii) The provider will, for a period of time specified by
the Secretary, maintain records of responses made to the
questions.
``(iii) The provider will, upon request, make such records
available to the State and to the Secretary, subject to
section 1902(a)(7).
``(B)(i) Subject to clause (ii), the provider will comply
with the schedule, regarding the appropriate periodicity,
dosage, and contraindications applicable to pediatric
vaccines, that is established and periodically reviewed and,
as appropriate, revised by the advisory committee referred to
in subsection (e), except in such cases as, in the provider's
medical judgment subject to accepted medical practice, such
compliance is medically inappropriate.
``(ii) The provider will provide pediatric vaccines in
compliance with applicable State law, including any such law
relating to any religious or other exemption.
``(C)(i) In administering a qualified pediatric vaccine to
a vaccine-eligible child, the provider will not impose a
charge for the cost of the vaccine. A program-registered
provider is not required under this section to administer
such a vaccine to each child for whom an immunization with
the vaccine is sought from the provider.
``(ii) The provider may impose a fee for the administration
of a qualified pediatric vaccine so long as the fee in the
case of a Federally vaccine-eligible child does not exceed
the costs of such administration (as determined by the
Secretary based on actual regional costs for such
administration).
``(iii) The provider will not deny administration of a
qualified pediatric vaccine to a vaccine-eligible child due
to the inability of the child's parent to pay an
administration fee.
``(3) Encouraging involvement of providers.--Each program
under this section shall provide, in accordance with criteria
established by the Secretary--
``(A) for encouraging the following to become program-
registered providers: private health care providers, the
Indian Health Service, health care providers that receive
funds under title V of the Indian Health Care Improvement
Act, and health programs or facilities operated by Indian
tribes or tribal organizations; and
``(B) for identifying, with respect to any population of
vaccine-eligible children a substantial portion of whose
parents have a limited ability to speak the English language,
those program-registered providers who are able to
communicate with the population involved in the language and
cultural context that is most appropriate.
``(4) State requirements.--Except as the Secretary may
permit in order to prevent fraud and abuse and for related
purposes, a State may not impose additional qualifications or
conditions, in addition to the requirements of paragraph (1),
in order that a provider qualify as a program-registered
provider under this section. This subsection does not limit
the exercise of State authority under section 1915(b).
``(d) Negotiation of Contracts with Manufacturers.--
``(1) In general.--For the purpose of meeting obligations
under this section, the Secretary shall negotiate and enter
into contracts with manufacturers of pediatric vaccines
consistent with the requirements of this subsection and, to
the maximum extent practicable, consolidate such contracting
with any other contracting activities conducted by the
Secretary to purchase vaccines. The Secretary may enter into
such contracts under which the Federal Government is
obligated to make outlays, the budget authority for which is
not provided for in advance in appropriations Acts, for the
purchase and delivery of pediatric vaccines under subsection
(a)(2)(A).
``(2) Authority to decline contracts.--The Secretary may
decline to enter into such contracts and may modify or extend
such contracts.
``(3) Contract price.--
``(A) In general.--The Secretary, in negotiating the prices
at which pediatric vaccines will be purchased and delivered
from a manufacturer under this subsection, shall take into
account quantities of vaccines to be purchased by States
under the option under paragraph (4)(B).
``(B) Negotiation of discounted price for current
vaccines.--With respect to contracts entered into under this
subsection for a pediatric vaccine for which the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention has a contract in effect under
section 317(j)(1) of the Public Health Service Act as of May
1, 1993, no price for the purchase of such vaccine for
vaccine-eligible children shall be agreed to by the Secretary
under this subsection if the price per dose of such vaccine
(including delivery costs and any applicable excise tax
established under section 4131 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986) exceeds the price per
[[Page 1021]]
dose for the vaccine in effect under such a contract as of
such date increased by the percentage increase in the
consumer price index for all urban consumers (all items;
United States city average) from May 1993 to the month before
the month in which such contract is entered into.
``(C) Negotiation of discounted price for new vaccines.--
With respect to contracts entered into for a pediatric
vaccine not described in subparagraph (B), the price for the
purchase of such vaccine shall be a discounted price
negotiated by the Secretary that may be established without
regard to such subparagraph.
``(4) Quantities and terms of delivery.--Under such
contracts--
``(A) the Secretary shall provide, consistent with
paragraph (6), for the purchase and delivery on behalf of
States (and tribes and tribal organizations) of quantities of
pediatric vaccines for Federally vaccine-eligible children;
and
``(B) each State, at the option of the State, shall be
permitted to obtain additional quantities of pediatric
vaccines (subject to amounts specified to the Secretary by
the State in advance of negotiations) through purchasing the
vaccines from the manufacturers at the applicable price
negotiated by the Secretary consistent with paragraph (3), if
(i) the State agrees that the vaccines will be used to
provide immunizations only for children who are not Federally
vaccine-eligible children and (ii) the State provides to the
Secretary such information (at a time and manner specified by
the Secretary, including in advance of negotiations under
paragraph (1)) as the Secretary determines to be necessary,
to provide for quantities of pediatric vaccines for the State
to purchase pursuant to this subsection and to determine
annually the percentage of the vaccine market that is
purchased pursuant to this section and this subparagraph.
The Secretary shall enter into the initial negotiations under
the preceding sentence not later than 180 days after the date
of the enactment of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
1993.
``(5) Charges for shipping and handling.--The Secretary may
enter into a contract referred to in paragraph (1) only if
the manufacturer involved agrees to submit to the Secretary
such reports as the Secretary determines to be appropriate to
assure compliance with the contract and if, with respect to a
State program under this section that does not provide for
the direct delivery of qualified pediatric vaccines, the
manufacturer involved agrees that the manufacturer will
provide for the delivery of the vaccines on behalf of the
State in accordance with such program and will not impose any
charges for the costs of such delivery (except to the extent
such costs are provided for in the price established under
paragraph (3)).
``(6) Assuring adequate supply of vaccines.--The Secretary,
in negotiations under paragraph (1), shall negotiate for
quantities of pediatric vaccines such that an adequate supply
of such vaccines will be maintained to meet unanticipated
needs for the vaccines. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, the Secretary shall negotiate for a 6-month supply
of vaccines in addition to the quantity that the Secretary
otherwise would provide for in such negotiations. In carrying
out this paragraph, the Secretary shall consider the
potential for outbreaks of the diseases with respect to which
the vaccines have been developed.
``(7) Multiple suppliers.--In the case of the pediatric
vaccine involved, the Secretary shall, as appropriate, enter
into a contract referred to in paragraph (1) with each
manufacturer of the vaccine that meets the terms and
conditions of the Secretary for an award of such a contract
(including terms and conditions regarding safety and
quality). With respect to multiple contracts entered into
pursuant to this paragraph, the Secretary may have in effect
different prices under each of such contracts and, with
respect to a purchase by States pursuant to paragraph (4)(B),
the Secretary shall determine which of such contracts will be
applicable to the purchase.
``(e) Use of Pediatric Vaccines List.--The Secretary shall
use, for the purpose of the purchase, delivery, and
administration of pediatric vaccines under this section, the
list established (and periodically reviewed and as
appropriate revised) by the Advisory Committee on
Immunization Practices (an advisory committee established by
the Secretary, acting through the Director of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention).
``(f) Requirement of State Maintenance of Immunization
Laws.--In the case of a State that had in effect as of May 1,
1993, a law that requires some or all health insurance
policies or plans to provide some coverage with respect to a
pediatric vaccine, a State program under this section does
not comply with the requirements of this section unless the
State certifies to the Secretary that the State has not
modified or repealed such law in a manner that reduces the
amount of coverage so required.
``(g) Termination.--This section, and the requirement of
section 1902(a)(62), shall cease to be in effect beginning on

(a) The Senate finds that:
(1) Numerous atrocities have been reported on the conflict
in the former Yugoslavia;
(2) Such atrocities against innocent civilians and
prisoners would violate universally accepted law as embodied
in the Geneva Conventions of August 12, 1949 for the
Protection of War Victims; the Hague Convention (IV)
Respecting the Laws and Customs of War on Land and the
Regulations annexed thereto of October 18, 1907; the
Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of
Genocide of December 9, 1948; and the Charter of the
International Military Tribunal of August 8, 1945;
(3) In October 1992 the United Nations Security Council
adopted Resolution 780 establishing a Commission of Experts
to gather and evaluate evidence of such war crimes;
(4) The Commission of Experts submitted an interim report
dated January 26, 1993 which concluded that grave breaches
and other violations of international humanitarian law had
been committed in the territory of the former Yugoslavia,
including wilful killing, ``ethnic cleansing,'' mass
killings, torture, rape, pillage, and destruction of civilian
property, destruction of cultural and religious property and
arbitrary arrests;
(5) The Commission of Experts has been hindered in carrying
out fully its legal charge because of insufficient resources;
(6) On February 22, 1993, the United Nations Security
Council adopted Resolution 808 establishing an international
tribunal to try individuals accused of the commission of war
crimes in the former Yugoslavia;
(7) On May 3, 1993, the Secretary General of the United
Nations issued his report which established the procedures
for an international war crimes tribunal;
(8) The United Nations is presently in the process of
selecting judges and prosecutors for the international war
crimes tribunal;
(9) According to reports, the atrocities in the former
Yugoslavia continue unabated; and
(10) There is a dire need to establish promptly the
tribunal and commence prosecution of alleged war criminals:
Now, therefore.
(b) The Senate hereby commends the United Nations for its
recognition of the importance and necessity of the rule of
law as evidenced by its establishment of an international
tribunal for the prosecution of war crimes in the former
Yugoslavia.
(c) It is the sense of the Senate that the United Nations
should--
(1) expedite the selection of judges and prosecutors for
the tribunal in order to begin prosecutions of alleged war
criminals; and
(2) provide all assistance necessary to continue gathering
evidence for such prosecutions.

follows:
``SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
``(1) Throughout the United States, there are pressing
unmet human, educational, environmental, and public safety
needs.
``(2) Americans desire to affirm common responsibilities
and shared values, and join together in positive experiences,
that transcend race, religion, gender, age, disability,
region, income, and education.
``(3) The rising costs of postsecondary education are
putting higher education out of reach for an increasing
number of citizens.
``(4) Americans of all ages can improve their communities
and become better citizens through service to the United
States.
``(5) Nonprofit organizations, local governments, States,
and the Federal Government are already supporting a wide
variety of national service programs that deliver needed
services in a cost-effective manner.
``(6) Residents of low-income communities, especially youth
and young adults, can be empowered through their service, and
can help provide future community leadership.
``(b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act to--
``(1) meet the unmet human, educational, environmental, and
public safety needs of the United States, without displacing
existing workers;
``(2) renew the ethic of civic responsibility and the
spirit of community throughout the United States;
``(3) expand educational opportunity by rewarding
individuals who participate in national service with an
increased ability to pursue higher education or job training;
``(4) encourage citizens of the United States, regardless
of age, income, or disability, to engage in full-time or
part-time national service;
``(5) reinvent government to eliminate duplication, support
locally established initiatives, require measurable goals for
performance, and offer flexibility in meeting those goals;
``(6) expand and strengthen existing service programs with
demonstrated experience in providing structured service
opportunities with visible benefits to the participants and
community;
``(7) build on the existing organizational service
infrastructure of Federal, State, and local programs and
agencies to expand full-time and part-time service
opportunities for all citizens; and
[[Page 1046]]
``(8) provide tangible benefits to the communities in which
national service is performed.''.
(b) Table of Contents.--Section 1(b) of the National and
Community Service Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-610; 104 Stat.

programs, including summer programs, described in section
122(a); and

programs described in section 122(a) that are carried out by
other entities.
``(b) Agreements With Federal Agencies.--
``(1) Agreements authorized.--The Corporation may enter
into a contract or cooperative agreement with another Federal
agency to support a national service program carried out by
the agency. The support provided by the Corporation pursuant
to the contract or cooperative agreement may include the
transfer to the Federal agency of funds available to the
Corporation under this subtitle.
``(2) Matching funds requirements.--A Federal agency
receiving assistance under this subsection shall not be
required to satisfy the matching funds requirements specified
in subsection (e). However, the supplementation requirements

Federal national service programs supported with such
assistance.
``(3) Consultation with state commissions.--A Federal
agency receiving assistance under this subsection shall
consult with the State Commissions for those States in which
projects will be conducted using such assistance in order to
ensure that the projects do not duplicate projects conducted
by State or local national service programs.
``(4) Support for other national service programs.--A
Federal agency that enters into a contract or cooperative
agreement under paragraph (1) shall, in an appropriate case,
enter into a contract or cooperative agreement with an entity

contract or cooperative agreement and is of high quality, in
order to support the national service program.
``(c) Provision of Approved National Service Positions.--As
part of the provision of assistance under subsections (a) and

awards described in subtitle D for the participants who serve
in national service programs carried out using such
assistance; and

under section 147; and
``(B) the total number of approved national service
positions to be provided.
``(d) Five Percent Limitation on Administrative Costs.--
``(1) Limitation.--Not more than 5 percent of the amount of
assistance provided to the original recipient of a grant or
transfer of assistance under subsection (a) or (b) for a
fiscal year may be used to pay for administrative costs
incurred by--
``(A) the recipient of the assistance; and
``(B) national service programs carried out or supported
with the assistance.
``(2) Rules on use.--The Corporation may by rule prescribe
the manner and extent to which--

be used to cover administrative costs; and

Federal share of the cost of carrying out a national service
program that receives the assistance under subsection (a),
whether the assistance is provided directly or as a subgrant
from the original recipient of the assistance, may not exceed
75 percent of such cost.
``(2) Calculation.--In providing for the remaining share of
the cost of carrying out a national service program, the
program--

cash or in kind, fairly evaluated, including facilities,
equipment, or services; and

providing a health care policy described in section 140(d)(2)
toward such share.
``(4) Waiver.--The Corporation may waive in whole or in
part the requirements of paragraph (1) with respect to a
national service program in any fiscal year if the
Corporation determines that such a waiver would be equitable
due to a lack of available financial resources at the local
level.

``(4) Encouragement of intergenerational components of
programs.--The Corporation shall encourage national service
programs eligible to receive assistance or approved national

``(1) Conserving or developing natural and cultural

providing a means to pay for higher education or to repay
indebtedness they have incurred to obtain higher education
while at the same time benefiting the Nation's economy and
its environment.
``(2) Many facilities and natural resources located on
eligible service lands are in disrepair or degraded and in
need of labor intensive rehabilitation, restoration, and
enhancement work which cannot be carried out by Federal
agencies at existing personnel levels.
``(3) Youth conservation corps have established a good
record of restoring and maintaining these kinds of facilities
and resources in a cost effective and efficient manner,
especially when they have worked in partnership arrangements

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. 98.15 order of business--amendments modifications--h.r.2401
On motion of Mr. DELLUMS, by unanimous consent,
Ordered, That, during the further consideration of the bill (H.R.
2401) to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 1994 for military
activities of the Department of Defense, to prescribe military personnel
strengths for fiscal year 1994, and for other purposes, pursuant to
House Resolution 246, the amendment numbered 3 in Part 3 and the
amendment numbered 1 in Part 4 of House Report 103-223 be modified in
the following forms:
At the end of title X (page 346, after line 23), insert the
following new sections:
SEC. 1043. SHARING DEFENSE BURDENS AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Since fiscal year 1985, the budget of the Department of
Defense has declined by 34 percent in real terms.
(2) During the past few years, the United States military
presence overseas has declined significantly in the following
ways:
(A) Since fiscal year 1986, the number of United States
military personnel permanently stationed overseas has
declined by almost 200,000 personnel.
(B) From fiscal year 1989 to fiscal year 1994, spending by
the United States to support the stationing of United States
military forces overseas will have declined by 36 percent.
(C) Since January 1990, the Department of Defense has
announced the closure, reduction, or transfer to standby
status of 840 United States military facilities overseas,
which is approximately a 50 percent reduction in the number
of such facilities.
(3) The United States military presence overseas will
continue to decline as a result of actions by the executive
branch and the following initiatives of the Congress:
(A) Section 1302 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 1993, which required a 40 percent reduction
by September 30, 1996, in the number of United States
military personnel permanently stationed ashore in overseas
locations.
(B) Section 1303 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 1993, which specified that no more than
100,000 United States military personnel may be permanently
stationed ashore in NATO member countries after September 30,
1996.
(C) Section 1301 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 1993, which reduced the spending proposed by
the Department of Defense for overseas basing activities
during fiscal year 1993 by $500,000,000.
(D) Sections 913 and 915 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991, which
directed the President to develop a plan to gradually reduce
the United States military force structure in East Asia.
(4) The East Asia Strategy Initiative, which was developed
in response to sections 913 and 915 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991, has
resulted in the withdrawal of 12,000 United States military
personnel from Japan and the Republic of Korea since fiscal
year 1990.
(5) In response to actions by the executive branch and the
Congress, allied countries in which United States military
personnel are stationed and alliances in which the United
States participates have agreed in the following ways to
reduce the costs incurred by the United States in basing
military forces overseas:
(A) Under the 1991 Special Measures Agreement between Japan
and the United States, Japan will pay by 1995 almost all yen-
denominated costs of stationing United States military
personnel in Japan.
(B) The Republic of Korea has agreed to pay by 1995, one-
third of the won-based costs incurred by the United States in
stationing United States military personnel in the Republic
of Korea.
(C) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has
agreed that the NATO Infrastructure Program will adapt to
support post-Cold War strategy and could pay the annual
operation and maintenance costs of facilities in Europe and
the United States that would support the reinforcement of
Europe by United States military forces and the participation
of United States military forces in peacekeeping and conflict
prevention operations.
(D) Such allied countries and alliances have agreed to more
fully share the responsibilities and burdens of providing for
mutual security and stability through steps such as the
following:
(i) The Republic of Korea has assumed the leadership role
regarding ground combat forces for the defense of the
Republic of Korea.
(ii) NATO has adopted the new mission of conducting
peacekeeping operations and is, for example, providing land,
sea, and air forces for United Nations efforts in the former
Yugoslavia.
(iii) The countries of western Europe are contributing
substantially to the development of democracy, stability, and
open market societies in eastern Europe and the former Soviet
Union.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the forward presence of United States military
personnel stationed overseas continues to be important to
United States security interests;
(2) that forward presence facilitates efforts to pursue
United States security interests on a collective basis rather
than pursuing them on a far more costly unilateral basis or
receding into isolationism;
(3) the bilateral and multilateral arrangements and
alliances in which that forward presence plays a part must be
further adapted to the security environment of the post-Cold
War period;
(4) the cost-sharing percentages for the NATO
Infrastructure Program should be reviewed with the aim of
reflecting current economic, political, and military
realities and thus reducing the United States cost-sharing
percentage; and
(5) the amounts obligated to conduct United States overseas
basing activities should decline significantly in fiscal year
1994 and in future fiscal years as--
(A) the number of United States military personnel
stationed overseas continues to decline; and
(B) the countries in which United States military personnel
are stationed and the alliances in which the United States
participates assume an increased share of United States
overseas basing costs.
(c) Reducing United States Overseas Basing Costs.--(1) In
order to achieve additional savings in overseas basing costs,
the President should--
(A) continue with the reductions in United States military
presence overseas as required by sections 1302 and 1303 of
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993;
and
(B) intensify his efforts to negotiate a more favorable
host-nation agreement with each foreign country to which this
paragraph applies under paragraph (3)(A).
(2) For purposes of paragraph (1)(B), a more favorable
host-nation agreement is an agreement under which such
foreign country--
(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 the 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.
(3)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), paragraph
(1)(B) 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
Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2346 et seq.); or
[[Page 1105]]
(ii) a foreign country that has agreed to assume, not later
than September 30, 1996, at least 75 percent of the
nonpersonnel costs of United States military installations in
the country.
(d) Obligational Limitation.--(1) The total amount
appropriated to the Department of Defense for Military
Personnel, for Operation and Maintenance, and for military
construction (including NATO Infrastructure) that is
obligated to conduct overseas basing activities during fiscal
year 1994 may not exceed $16,915,400,000 (such amount being
the amount appropriated for such purposes for fiscal year
1993 reduced by $3,300,000,000).
(2) For purposes of this subsection, the term ``overseas
basing activities'' means the activities of the Department of
Defense for which funds are provided through appropriations
for Military Personnel, 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.
(e) Allocations of Savings.--Any amounts appropriated to
the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1994 for the
purposes covered by subsection (d)(1) that are not available
to be used for those purposes by reason of the limitation in
that subsection shall be allocated by the Secretary of
Defense for operation and maintenance and for military
construction activities of the Department of Defense at
military installations and facilities located inside the
United States.

follows:
(1) Section 232(b) is amended--
(A) in paragraphs (1) and (2), by striking out ``the Soviet
Union'' and inserting in lieu thereof ``Russia''; and

SEC. 235. PATRIOT ADVANCED CAPABILITY-3 THEATER MISSILE
DEFENSE SYSTEM.
(a) Competition for Missile Selection.--The Secretary of
Defense shall continue the strategy being carried out by the
Ballistic Missile Defense Organization as of July 1, 1993,
for selection of the best technology (in terms of cost,
schedule, risk, and performance) to meet the missile
requirements for the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3)
theater missile defense system. That strategy, consisting of
flight testing, ground testing, simulations, and other
analyses of the two competing missiles (the Patriot Multimode
Missile and the Extended Range Interceptor (ERINT) missile),
shall be continued until the Secretary determines that the
Ballistic Missile Defense Organization has adequate
information upon which to base a decision as to which missile
will be selected to proceed into the Engineering and
Manufacturing Development stage.
(b) Funds for Demonstration and Validation.--Of the funds
authorized to be appropriated by section 201 for the
Ballistic Missile Defense Organization--
(1) not less than $44,100,000 shall be available for
demonstration and validation purposes for the Patriot
Multimode Missile program;
(2) not less than $55,900,000 shall be available for
demonstration and validation purposes for the Extended Range
Interceptor program; and
[[Page 1107]]
(3) not less than $52,700,000 shall be available for
demonstration and validation and for the Engineering and
Manufacturing Development stage for the system selected and
for appropriate risk mitigation activities.
(c) Implications of Delay.--If there is a delay (based upon
the schedule in effect in mid-1993) in the selection
described in subsection (a) of the missile for the Patriot
Advanced Capability-3 system, the Secretary of Defense shall
ensure that demonstration and validation of both competing
systems can continue as needed to support an informed
decision for such selection.
SEC. 236. ADDITIONAL BMD PROGRAMS.
(a) Naval Theater Missile Defense.--Of the amount provided
under section 201 for Theater Missile Defense, $102,000,000
shall be available to support the aggressive exploration of

systems.
(b) Accelerated Advanced Technology Demonstration
Program.--The Secretary of Defense, acting through the
Director of the Theater Missile Defense Initiative, shall
initiate during fiscal year 1994 an accelerated Advanced
Technology Demonstration program to demonstrate the technical
feasibility of using the Navy's Standard Missile combined
with a kickstage rocket motor and Lightweight Exoatmospheric
Projectile (LEAP) as a near-term option for cost-effective
wide-area Theater Missile Defense.
SEC. 237. ARROW TACTICAL ANTI-MISSILE PROGRAM.
(a) Endorsement of Cooperative Research and Development.--
Congress reiterates its endorsement (previously stated in
section 225(a)(5) of Public Law 101-510 (104 Stat. 1515) and
section 241(a) of Public Law 102-190 (105 Stat. 1326)) of a
continuing program of cooperative research and development,
jointly funded by the United States and Israel, on the Arrow
Tactical Anti-Missile program.
(b) Program Goal.--The goal of the cooperative program is
to demonstrate the feasibility and practicality of the Arrow
system and to permit the government of Israel to make a
decision on its own initiative regarding deployment of that
system without financial participation by the United States
beyond the research and development stage.
(c) Arrow Continuing Experiments.--The Secretary of
Defense, from amounts appropriated to the Department of
Defense pursuant to section 201 for Defense-wide activities
and available for the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization,
shall fully fund the United States contribution to the fiscal
year 1994 Arrow Continuing Experiments program at the level
of $56,400,000.
(d) Arrow Deployability Initiative.--(1) Subject to
paragraph (2), the Secretary of Defense may obligate from
funds appropriated pursuant to section 201 up to $25,000,000
for the purpose of research and development of technologies
associated with deploying the Arrow missile in the future
(including technologies associated with battle management,
lethality, system integration, and test bed systems).
(2) Funds may not be obligated for the purpose stated in
paragraph (1) unless the President certifies to Congress
that--
(A) the United States and the government of Israel have
entered into an agreement governing the conduct and funding
of research and development projects for the purpose stated
in paragraph (1);
(B) each project in which the United States will join under
that agreement (i) will have a benefit for the United States,
and (ii) has not been barred by other congressional
direction;
(C) the Arrow missile has successfully completed a flight
test in which it intercepted a target missile under realistic
test conditions; and
(D) the government of Israel is continuing, in accordance
with its previous public commitments, to adhere to export
controls pursuant to the Guidelines and Annex of the Missile
Technology Control Regime.
(e) Sense of Congress on Expediting Test Program.--It is
the sense of Congress that, in order to expedite the test
program for the Arrow missile, the United States should seek
to initiate with the government of Israel discussions on the
agreement referred to in subsection (d)(2)(A) without waiting
for the condition specified in subsection (d)(2)(C) to be met
first.
SEC. 238. EXTENSION OF PROHIBITION ON TESTING MID-INFRARED
ADVANCED CHEMICAL LASER AGAINST AN OBJECT IN
SPACE.
The Secretary of Defense may not carry out a test of the
Mid-Infrared Advanced Chemical Laser (MIRACL) transmitter and
associated optics against an object in space during 1994
unless such testing is specifically authorized by law.

STRATEGIC DEFENSE INITIATIVE ORGANIZATION.
Section 224 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991 (10 U.S.C. 2431 note) is amended--
(1) by striking out ``Strategic Defense Initiative'' each
place it appears (other than in subsection (b)(5)) and
inserting in lieu thereof ``Ballistic Missile Defense
program'';
(2) by striking out ``Strategic Defense Initiative'' in
subsection (b)(5) and inserting in lieu thereof ``Ballistic
Missile Defense'';
(2) by striking out ``SDI'' each place it appears and

withdrawal of such forces over the four-year period beginning
on October 1, 1996, and ending on September 30, 2000.

After some further time,
Para. 99.12 recorded vote
A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of
the Whole on the following amendment submitted by Mrs. SCHROEDER:
At the end of subtitle B of title XXVIII of the bill, add
the following new section:
SEC. 2819. EXPANSION OF BASE CLOSURE LAW TO INCLUDE
CONSIDERATION OF MILITARY INSTALLATIONS OUTSIDE
THE UNITED STATES FOR CLOSURE AND REALIGNMENT.
(a) Expansion of Scope of Base Closure Law.--The Defense
Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (Part A of title
XXIX of Public Law 101-510; 10 U.S.C. 2687 note) is amended--
(1) by redesignating sections 2910 and 2911 as sections
2911 and 2912, respectively; and
(2) by inserting after section 2909 the following new
section:
``SEC. 2910. CONSIDERATION OF MILITARY INSTALLATIONS OUTSIDE
THE UNITED STATES.
``(a) Recommendations for Termination and Reductions of
Military Operations Outside the United States.--With respect
to recommendations made in 1995 for the closure and
realignment of military installations under this part, the
Secretary and the Commission shall include recommendations
for the termination and reduction of military operations
carried out by the United States at military installations
outside the United States.
``(b) Selection Criteria.--(1) Not later than December 31,
1993, the Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register and
transmit to the congressional defense committees the criteria
proposed to be used by the Department of Defense in making
recommendations for terminating and reducing military
operations carried out by the United States at military
installations outside the United States. The Secretary shall
provide an opportunity for public comment on the proposed
criteria for a period of at least 30 days and shall include
notice of that opportunity in the publication required under
the preceding sentence.
``(2) Not later than February 15, 1994, the Secretary shall
publish in the Federal Register and transmit to the
congressional defense committees the final criteria to be
used in making recommendations for terminating and reducing
military operations carried out by the United States at
military installations outside the United States.
``(3) The criteria developed under this subsection, along
with the force-structure plan referred to in section 2903(a),
shall be the final criteria to be used in making
recommendations for terminating and reducing military
operations carried out by the United States at military
installations outside the United States, unless the criteria
are--
``(A) disapproved by a joint resolution of Congress enacted
on or before March 15, 1994; or
``(B) amended by the Secretary in the manner described in
section 2903(b)(2)(B).
``(c) Recommendations of the Secretary.--The Secretary
shall transmit recommendations to the Commission for the
termination and reduction of military operations of the
United States at specified military installations outside the
United States. The recommendations shall be included in the
recommendations transmitted to the Commission with respect to
the closure and realignment of military installations inside
the United States under section 2903(c).
``(d) Review and Recommendations by Commission.--The
Commission shall review the recommendations transmitted by
the Secretary under subsection (c). The Commission may make
changes in the recommendations made by the Secretary only in
the manner provided in subparagraphs (B), (C), and (D) of
section 2903(d)(2). The Commission shall include, in its
recommendations to the President under section 2903(d), its
recommendations for the termination and reduction of military
operations of the United States at specified military
installations outside the United States.
``(e) Review and Transmittal by the President.--The
recommendations transmitted by the President under section
2903(e) shall contain the recommendations of the Commission
for the termination and reduction of military operations of
the United States at specified military installations outside
the United States.''.
(b) Effect of Failure To Include Sufficient Overseas
Installations.--Section 2903 of such Act is amended by adding
at the end the following new subsection:
``(f) Failure To Include Sufficient Overseas
Installations.--(1) In the case of the recommendations of the
Commission required to be transmitted to the Congress in 1995
pursuant to subsection (e), if the closure or realignment of
military installations outside the United States does not
account for at least 25 percent of the closure and
realignment recommendations of the Commission, as certified
by the Commission under paragraph (2), then the process by
which military installations may be selected for closure or
realignment under this part with respect to that year shall
be terminated.
``(2) In determining whether the percentage specified in
paragraph (1) is satisfied, the Commission shall calculate
such percentage both in terms of--
``(A) the number of military installations outside the
United States recommended for closure or realignment as a
percentage of the total number of military installations
recommended for closure or realignment that year; and
``(B) the number of military personnel and civilian
employees of the Department of Defense stationed or employed
outside the United States directly affected by the
recommendations as a percentage of the total number of
military personnel and civilian employees of the Department
of Defense directly affected by the recommendations.''.
(c) Conforming Amendments.--(1) Subsection (b) of section
2901 of such Act is amended to read as follows:
``(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this part is to provide a
fair process that will result in the timely closure and
realignment of military installations inside and outside the
United States.''.
(2) Section 2911 of such Act, as redesignated by subsection
(a)(1), is amended--
(A) in paragraph (4), by inserting after the first sentence
the following new sentence: ``With respect to military
operations carried out by the United States outside the
United States, such term includes the sites and facilities at
which such operations are carried out without regard to
whether the sites and facilities are owned by the United
States.''; and
(B) by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
``(8) The terms `closure' and `realignment' include, with
respect to military operations carried out by the United
States outside the United States, the termination or
reduction of such operations.''.

So the amendment was not agreed to.
After some further time,
Para. 99.14 recorded vote
A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of
the Whole on the following amendment, as modified, submitted by Mrs.
LLOYD:
At the end of title X (page 346, after line 23), insert the
following new sections:
SEC. 1043. SHARING DEFENSE BURDENS AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Since fiscal year 1985, the budget of the Department of
Defense has declined by 34 percent in real terms.
(2) During the past few years, the United States military
presence overseas has declined significantly in the following
ways:
(A) Since fiscal year 1986, the number of United States
military personnel permanently stationed overseas has
declined by almost 200,000 personnel.
(B) From fiscal year 1989 to fiscal year 1994, spending by
the United States to support the stationing of United States
military forces overseas will have declined by 36 percent.
(C) Since January 1990, the Department of Defense has
announced the closure, reduction, or transfer to standby
status of 840 United States military facilities overseas,
which is approximately a 50 percent reduction in the number
of such facilities.
(3) The United States military presence overseas will
continue to decline as a result of actions by the executive
branch and the following initiatives of the Congress:
(A) Section 1302 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 1993, which required a 40 percent reduction
by September 30, 1996, in the number of United States
military personnel permanently stationed ashore in overseas
locations.
(B) Section 1303 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 1993, which specified that no more than
100,000 United States military personnel may be permanently
stationed ashore in NATO member countries after September 30,
1996.
(C) Section 1301 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 1993, which reduced the spending proposed by
the Department of Defense for overseas basing activities
during fiscal year 1993 by $500,000,000.
(D) Sections 913 and 915 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991, which
directed the President to develop a plan to gradually reduce
the United States military force structure in East Asia.
(4) The East Asia Strategy Initiative, which was developed
in response to sections 913 and 915 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991, has
resulted in the withdrawal of 12,000 United States military
personnel from Japan and the Republic of Korea since fiscal
year 1990.
(5) In response to actions by the executive branch and the
Congress, allied countries in which United States military
personnel are stationed and alliances in which the United
States participates have agreed in the following ways to
reduce the costs incurred by the United States in basing
military forces overseas:
(A) Under the 1991 Special Measures Agreement between Japan
and the United States, Japan will pay by 1995 almost all yen-
denominated costs of stationing United States military
personnel in Japan.
(B) The Republic of Korea has agreed to pay by 1995, one-
third of the won-based costs incurred by the United States in
stationing United States military personnel in the Republic
of Korea.
(C) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has
agreed that the NATO Infrastructure Program will adapt to
support post-Cold War strategy and could pay the annual
operation and maintenance costs of facilities in Europe and
the United States that would support the reinforcement of
Europe by United States military forces and the participation
of United States military forces in peacekeeping and conflict
prevention operations.
(D) Such allied countries and alliances have agreed to more
fully share the responsibilities and burdens of providing for
mutual security and stability through steps such as the
following:
(i) The Republic of Korea has assumed the leadership role
regarding ground combat forces for the defense of the
Republic of Korea.
(ii) NATO has adopted the new mission of conducting
peacekeeping operations and is, for example, providing land,
sea, and air forces for United Nations efforts in the former
Yugoslavia.
(iii) The countries of western Europe are contributing
substantially to the development of democracy, stability, and
open market societies in eastern Europe and the former Soviet
Union.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the forward presence of United States military
personnel stationed overseas continues to be important to
United States security interests;
(2) that forward presence facilitates efforts to pursue
United States security interests on a collective basis rather
than pursuing them on a far more costly unilateral basis or
receding into isolationism;
(3) the bilateral and multilateral arrangements and
alliances in which that forward presence plays a part must be
further adapted to the security environment of the post-Cold
War period;
(4) the cost-sharing percentages for the NATO
Infrastructure Program should be reviewed with the aim of
reflecting current economic, political, and military
realities and thus reducing the United States cost-sharing
percentage; and
(5) the amounts obligated to conduct United States overseas
basing activities should decline significantly in fiscal year
1994 and in future fiscal years as--
[[Page 1119]]
(A) the number of United States military personnel
stationed overseas continues to decline; and
(B) the countries in which United States military personnel
are stationed and the alliances in which the United States
participates assume an increased share of United States
overseas basing costs.
(c) Reducing United States Overseas Basing Costs.--(1) In
order to achieve additional savings in overseas basing costs,
the President should--
(A) continue with the reductions in United States military
presence overseas as required by sections 1302 and 1303 of
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993;
and
(B) intensify his efforts to negotiate a more favorable
host-nation agreement with each foreign country to which this
paragraph applies under paragraph (3)(A).
(2) For purposes of paragraph (1)(B), a more favorable
host-nation agreement is an agreement under which such
foreign country--
(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 the 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.
(3)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), paragraph
(1)(B) 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
Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2346 et seq.); or
(ii) a foreign country that has agreed to assume, not later
than September 30, 1996, at least 75 percent of the
nonpersonnel costs of United States military installations in
the country.
(d) Obligational Limitation.--(1) The total amount
appropriated to the Department of Defense for Military
Personnel, for Operation and Maintenance, and for military
construction (including NATO Infrastructure) that is
obligated to conduct overseas basing activities during fiscal
year 1994 may not exceed $16,915,400,000 (such amount being
the amount appropriated for such purposes for fiscal year
1993 reduced by $3,300,000,000).
(2) For purposes of this subsection, the term ``overseas
basing activities'' means the activities of the Department of
Defense for which funds are provided through appropriations
for Military Personnel, 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.
(e) Allocations of Savings.--Any amounts appropriated to
the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1994 for the
purposes covered by subsection (d)(1) that are not available
to be used for those purposes by reason of the limitation in
that subsection shall be allocated by the Secretary of
Defense for operation and maintenance and for military
construction activities of the Department of Defense at
military installations and facilities located inside the
United States.

(A) by striking out ``During fiscal years 1992 and 1993,

manner the report on allied contributions to the common
defense required under section 1003 of the National Defense
Authorization Act, 1985 (Public Law 98-525; 98 Stat. 2577),
to be submitted not later than April 1, 1993.
(2) It is the sense of Congress that the timely submission
of such report to Congress each year is essential to the
deliberation by Congress concerning the annual defense
program.

So the amendment, as modified, was agreed to.
After some further time,
Para. 99.16 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 346, after line 23), insert the
following section:
SEC. 1043. ENFORCEMENT OF INCREASED HOST-NATION SUPPORT UNDER
DEFENSE BURDENSHARING AGREEMENTS.
(a) Overall Authorization Reduction.--The total amount
authorized to be appropriated by this Act for fiscal year
1994 is the sum of the separate authorizations contained in
this Act for that fiscal year reduced by $1,000,000,000.
(b) Reduction of Funds for Activities in Europe.--
Reductions in amounts authorized to be appropriated to the
Department of Defense to achieve the overall reduction
required by subsection (a) may be made only from funds for
programs, projects, and activities for the support of United
States forces assigned to or stationed in Europe. 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 due to
agreements reached pursuant to section 1301(e) of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993
(Public Law 102-484; 106 Stat. 2544).
(2) Accelerated withdrawal of United States forces or
equipment under the provisions of section 1302 and the
amendment made by section 1303 of such Act (Public Law 102-
484; 106 Stat. 2545).
(c) Maintenance of Presence in Europe.--To the extent that
reductions required by subsection (a) are accounted for by
accelerated withdrawal of United States forces as described
in subsection (a)(2), the President is encouraged to enter
into agreements with European member nations of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization for the short-term deployment of
United States forces in such nations (in lieu of assignment
to permanent duty in such nations) for joint training at
military facilities that are paid for and maintained
primarily by such nations.
(d) Use of Savings.--The savings realized as a result of
the reductions for purposes of subsection (a) shall be
allocated as follows:
(1) $500,000,000 shall be used for reduction of the
deficit.
(2) $500,000,000 shall be used for defense conversion,
reinvestment, and transition assistance programs under title
XIII, of which--
(A) $300,000,000 shall be used to increase funding for
activities of the Department of Defense under chapter 148 of
title 10, United States Code, and section 2197 of such title,
as described in section 1311;
(B) $40,000,000 shall be used to increase funding for
community adjustment and economic diversification assistance
under section 2391(b) of title 10, United States Code;
(C) $60,000,000 shall be used to increase funding for the
teacher and teacher's aide placement programs under section
1151 of title 10, United States Code;
(D) $60,000,000 shall be used to increase funding for the
law enforcement placement program under section 1152 of title
10, United States Code, and the health care provider
placement program under section 1153 of such title, as added
by section 1332;
(E) $10,000,000 shall be used to increase funding for the
program to provide demonstration grants to institutions of
higher education to provide education and training in
environmental restoration to dislocated defense workers and
young adults, as established by section 1333;
(F) $10,000,000 shall be used to increase funding for the
demonstration program for the training of recently discharged
veterans for employment in construction and in hazardous
waste remediation, as established by section 1335; and
(G) $20,000,000 shall be used to increase funding for the
Service Members Occupational Conversion and Training Act of
1992 (subtitle G of title XLIV of Public Law 102-484; 106
Stat. 2768).
(e) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the President should continue efforts to enter into
revised host-nation agreements as described in section
1301(e) of National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
1993 (Public Law 102-484; 106 Stat. 2545) for purposes of
providing that foreign countries assume an increased share of
the costs of United States military installations in those
countries and for the other purposes set forth in paragraph
(2) of that section; and
(2) each host-nation agreement entered into pursuant to
such section should require the host nation to increase its
payments under the agreement at an annual rate of not less
than 15 percent per year so that the host nation assumes, not
later than September 30, 1998, at least 75 percent of the
non-personnel costs of United States military installations
in that nation.

Columbia Government's fiscal year 1994 budget amendment request and
fiscal year 1993 supplemental budget amendment request.
The District of Columbia Government has submitted a request to
decrease its fiscal year 1994 general fund spending authority by $36.968
million with a reduction of 832 FTE positions. In addition, the
District's fiscal year 1993 supplemental amendment request includes an
increase of $7.367 million in general fund spending authority. The
amendments are needed to address a projected operating deficit for
fiscal year 1993 and fiscal year 1994 that was not addressed in the
District's original budget submission pending congressional action.
William J. Clinton.

and audits required by section 3515 and 3521 of title 31,
United States Code, the Comptroller General of the United
States shall from time to time carry out examinations of the

sections 459, 461, and 462 of the Social Security Act (42
U.S.C. 659, 661, and 662) for the enforcement of the
employee's legal obligation to provide child support or make

to which an agency is subject under this section.
``(i) The provisions of this section shall not modify or
supersede the provisions of sections 459, 461, and 462 of the
Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 659, 661, and 662) concerning
legal process brought for the enforcement of an individual's

Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940 (50 App. U.S.C. 501 et
seq.); and
``(B) consideration for the absence of a member of the
uniformed service from an appearance in a judicial proceeding

SEC. 10. SENSE OF THE SENATE RELATING TO FEDERAL EMPLOYEE
SOLICITATION OF FUNDS AND CANDIDACIES.
It is the sense of the Senate that Federal employees should
not be authorized to--
(1) solicit political contributions from the general
public; or
(2) run for the nomination or as a candidate for a local
partisan political office, except as expressly provided under
current law.
SEC. 11. SENSE OF THE SENATE RELATING TO ASSISTANCE TO
NICARAGUA.
(a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
(1) On May 23, 1993, an explosion in Managua, Nicaragua
exposed a cache of weapons, including 19 surface-to-air
missiles, hundreds of AK-47 assault rifles, machine guns,
rocket propelled grenades, tons of ammunition and explosives.
(2) Investigations of the explosions have uncovered 310
passports from 21 different countries, including seven United
States passports.
(3) Documents in the possession of those apprehended in
connection with the February 26, 1993, bombing of the World
Trade Center have been traced to Nicaragua.
(4) The acquisition and storage of these weapons and
documents could not have been accomplished without the
knowledge and cooperation of the Sandinista National
Liberation Front and ministries of the Government of
Nicaragua under its control.
(5) The Sandinista National Liberation Front has a history
of subversion and links to international terrorism.
(6) The recent discovery demonstrates the inability of the
legitimate Government of Nicaragua to control all of its
ministries.
(7) This lack of authority makes uncertain the ability of
the Government of Nicaragua to prevent the export of
terrorism by the Sandinista National Liberation Front.
(b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
(1) no further United States foreign assistance to
Nicaragua should be obligated pending investigation by an
appropriate international body, with the participation of
United States Federal agencies, of the Sandinista National
Liberation Front; and
(2) such investigation should focus on the relationship of
the Sandinista National Liberation Front to acts of terrorism
which threaten to undermine the security of the United States
and the political stability and economic prosperity of the
Western Hemisphere.
SEC. 12. EFFECTIVE DATE.
(a) The amendments made by this Act shall take effect 120
days after the date of the enactment of this Act, except that
the authority to prescribe regulations granted under section
7325 of title 5, United States Code (as added by section 2 of
this Act), shall take effect on the date of the enactment of
this Act.
(b) Any repeal or amendment made by this Act of any
provision of law shall not release or extinguish any penalty,
forfeiture, or liability incurred under that provision,
and that provision shall be treated as remaining in force for
the purpose of sustaining any proper proceeding or action
for the enforcement of that penalty, forfeiture, or
liability.
(c) No provision of this Act shall affect any proceedings
with respect to which the charges were filed on or before the
effective date of the amendments made by this Act. Orders
shall be issued in such proceedings and appeals shall be
taken therefrom as if this Act had not been enacted.
Mr. CLAY, pursuant to House Resolution 251, moved to concur in the
amendment of the Senate.
[[Page 1169]]

Mr. Speaker, thank you very much.
Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, Members of Congress, distinguished guests,
my fellow Americans. Before I begin my words tonight, I would like to
ask that we all bow in a moment of silent prayer for the memory of those
who were killed and those who have been injured in a tragic train
accident in Alabama today.
(A moment of silent prayer was observed.)
Amen.
My fellow Americans, tonight we come together to write a new chapter
in the American story. Our forebears enshrined the American dream: life,
liberty, the pursuit of happiness. Every generation of Americans has
worked to strengthen that legacy to make our country a place of freedom
and opportunity, a place where people who work hard can rise to their
full potential, a place where their children can have a better future.
From the settling of the frontier to the landing on the Moon, ours has
been a continuous story of challenges defined, obstacles overcome, new
horizons secured. That is what makes America what it is and Americans
what we are.
Now we are in a time of profound change and opportunity. The end of
the cold war, the information age, the global economy have brought us
both opportunity, and hope, and strife, and uncertainty. Our purpose in
this dynamic age must be to make change our friend and not our enemy. To
achieve that goal we must face all our challenges with confidence, with
faith and with discipline, whether we are reducing the deficit, creating
tomorrow's jobs and training our people to fill them, converting from a
high-tech defense to a high-tech domestic economy, expanding trade,
reinventing government, making our streets safer, or rewarding work over
idleness. All these challenges require us to change.
If Americans are to have the courage to change in a difficult time, we
must first be secure in our most basic needs. Tonight I want to talk to
you about the most critical thing we can do to build that security.
This health care system of ours is badly broken, and it is time to fix
it.
Despite the dedication of literally millions of talented health care
professionals, our health care is too uncertain and too expensive, too
bureaucratic and too wasteful. It has too much fraud and too much greed.
At long last, after decades of false starts, we must make this our most
urgent priority, giving every American health security, health care that
can never be taken away, health care that is always there. That is what
we must do.
On this journey, as on all others of true consequences, there will be
rough
[[Page 1183]]
spots in the road and honest disagreements about how we should proceed.
After all, this is a complicated issue. But every successful journey is
guided by fixed stars, and if we can agree on some basic values and
principles, we will reach this destination and we will reach it
together.
So tonight I want to talk to you about the principles that I believe
must embody our efforts to reform America's health care system:
security, simplicity, savings, choice, quality, and responsibility.
When I launched our Nation on this journey to reform the health care
system, I knew we needed a talented navigator, someone with a rigorous
mind, a steady compass, a caring heart. Luckily for me and for our
Nation, I did not have to look very far.
Over the last 8 months, Hillary and those working with her have
talked to literally thousands of Americans to understand the strengths
and the frailties of this system of ours. They met with over 1,100
health care organizations. They talked with doctors and nurses,
pharmacists and drug company representatives, hospital administrators,
insurance company executives and small and large businesses. They spoke
with self-employed people. They talked with people who had insurance
and people who did not.
They talked with union members, and older Americans, and advocates
for our children.
The First Lady also consulted, as all of you know, extensively with
governmental leaders in both parties, in the States of our Nation, and
especially here on Capitol Hill.
Hillary and the task force received and read over 700,000 letters
from ordinary citizens. What they wrote and the bravery with which they
told their stories is really what calls us all here tonight. Every one
of us knows someone who has worked hard and played by the rules and
still been hurt by this system that just does not work for too many
people, but I would like to tell you about just one.
Kerry Kennedy owns a small furniture store that employs seven people
in Titusville, FL. Like most small business owners, he has poured his
heart and soul, his sweat and blood into that business for years. But
over the last several years, again like most small business owners, he
has seen his health care premiums skyrocket, even in years when no
claims were made. And last year he painfully discovered he could no
longer afford to provide coverage for all his workers because his
insurance company told him that two of his workers had become high
risks because of their advanced age. The problem was that those two
people were his mother and father, the people who founded the business
and still work in the store.
This story speaks for millions of others. And from them we have
learned a powerful truth: We have to preserve and strengthen what is
right with the
health care system, but we have got to fix what is wrong with it.
We all know what is right. We are blessed with the best health care
professionals on Earth, the finest health care institutions, the best
medical research, the most sophisticated technology.
My mother is a nurse. I grew up around hospitals. Doctors and nurses
were the first professional people I ever knew and learned to look up
to. They are what is right with this health care system.
But we also know that we can no longer afford to continue to ignore
what is wrong. Millions of Americans are just a pink slip away from
losing their health insurance, and one serious illness away from losing
all their savings. Millions more are locked into the jobs they have now
just because they or someone in their family has once been sick and
they have what is called a preexisting condition.
And on any given day over 37 million Americans, most of them working
people and their little children, have no health insurance at all.
And in spite of all this, our medical bills are growing at over twice
the rate of inflation, and the United States spends over a third more
of its income on health care than any other nation on Earth, and the
gap is growing, causing many of our companies in global competition
severe disadvantage.
There is no excuse for this kind of system. We know other people have
done better. We know people in our own country are doing better. We
have no excuse. My fellow Americans, we must fix this system, and it
has to begin with congressional action.
I believe as strongly as I can say that we can reform the costliest
and most wasteful system on the face of the Earth without enacting new
broad-based taxes. I believe----
I believe it because of the conversations I have had with thousands
of health care professionals around the country, with people who are
outside this city but are inside experts on the way this system works
and wastes money.
The proposal that I describe tonight borrows many of the principles
and ideas that have been embraced in plans introduced by both
Republicans and Democrats in this Congress. For the first time in this
century, leaders of both political parties have joined together around
the principle of providing universal, comprehensive health care. It is
a magic moment, and we must seize it.
I want to say to all of you, I have been deeply moved by the spirit
of this debate; by the openness of all people to new ideas and argument
and information. The American people will be proud to know that earlier
this week when a health care university was held for Members of
Congress, just to try to give everybody the same amount of information,
over 320 Republicans and Democrats signed up and showed up for
two days just to learn the basic facts of the complicated problem
before us.
Both sides are willing to say, ``We have listened to the people. We
know the cost of going forward with this system is far greater than the
cost of change.''
Both sides I think understand the literal ethical imperative of doing
something about the system we have now.
Rising above these difficulties and our past differences to solve
this problem will go a long way toward defining who we are and who we
intend to be as a people in this difficult and challenging era. I
believe we all understand that.
And so tonight let me ask all of you, every Member of the House,
every Member of the Senate, each Republican and each Democrat, let us
keep this spirit and let us keep this commitment until this job is
done. We owe it to the American people.
Now, if I might, I would like to review the six principles I
mentioned earlier and describe how we think we can best fulfill those
principles.
First and most important, security. This principle speaks to the
human misery, to the costs, to the anxiety we hear about every day, all
of us, when people talk about their problems with the present system.
Security means that those who do not now have health care coverage
will have it, and for those who have it, it will never be taken away.
We must achieve that security as soon as possible.
Under our plan every American will receive a health care security
card that will guarantee a comprehensive package of benefits over the
course of an entire lifetime, roughly comparable to the benefit
packages offered by most Fortune 500 companies. This health care
security card will offer this package of benefits in a way that can
never be taken away.
So let us agree on this, whatever else we disagree on: Before this
Congress finishes its work next year, you will pass and I will sign
legislation to guarantee this security to every citizen of this
country.
With this card, if you lose your job or you switch jobs, you are
covered. If you leave your job to start a small business, you are
covered. If you are an early retiree, you are covered. If someone in
your family has unfortunatley had an illness that qualifies as a
preexisting condition, you are still covered. If you get sick or a
member of your family gets sick, even if it is a life-threatening
illness, you are covered. And if an insurance company tries to drop you
for any reason, you will still be covered because that will be illegal.
This card will give comprehensive coverage. It will cover people for
hospital care, doctor visits, emergency and lab services, diagnostic
services like Pap smears and mammograms and cholesterol tests,
substance abuse, and mental health treatment.
And equally important, for both health care and economic reasons,
this
[[Page 1184]]
program for the first time will provide a broad range of preventive
services, including regular check-ups and well baby visits.
It is just common sense. We know, any family doctor will tell you
that people will stay healthier and long-term costs to the health
system will be lower if we have comprehensive preventive services. You
know how all of our mothers told us that an ounce of prevention was
worth a pound of cure? Our mothers were right.
And it is a lesson, like so many lessons from our mothers, that we
have waited too long to live by. It is time to start doing it.
Health care security must also apply to older Americans. This is
something I imagine all of us in this room feel very deeply about.
The first thing I want to say about that is that we must retain the
Medicare Program. It works to provide that kind of security.
But this time, and for the first time, I believe Medicare should
provide coverage for the cost of prescription drugs.
Yes, it will cost some more in the beginning. But again, any
physician who deals with the elderly will tell you that there are
thousands of elderly people in every State who are not poor enough to
be on Medicaid but just above that line and on Medicare, who
desperately need medicine, who make decisions every week between
medicine and food. Any doctor who deals with the elderly will tell you
that there are many elderly people who don't get medicine, who get
sicker and sicker and eventually go to the doctor, and wind up spending
more money and draining more money from the health care system than
they would if they had regular treatment in the way that only adequate
medicine can provide.
I also believe that, over time, we should phase in long-term care for
the disabled and the elderly on a comprehensive basis.
As we proceed with this health care reform, we cannot forget that the
most rapidly growing percentage of Americans are those over 80. We
cannot break faith with them. We have to do better by them.
The second principle is simplicity. Our health care system must be
simpler for the patients and simpler for those who actually deliver
health care: our doctors, our nurses, our other medical professionals.
Today we have more than 1,500 insurers with hundreds and hundreds of
different forms. No other nation has a system like this. These forms
are time-consuming for health care providers, they are expensive for
health care consumers, they are exasperating for anyone who has ever
tried to sit down around a table and wade through them and figure them
out.
The medical industry is literally drowning in paper work. In recent
years the number of administrators in our hospitals has grown by four
times the rate that the number of doctors has grown. A hospital ought
to be a house of healing, not a monument to paperwork and bureaucracy.
Just a few days ago the Vice President and I had the honor of
visiting the Children's Hospital here in Washington, where they do
wonderful, often miraculous things for very sick children. A nurse
named Debbie Feinberg told us that she is in the cancer and bone marrow
unit, and the other day a little boy asked her just to stay at his side
during his chemotherapy. And she had to walk away from that child
because she had been instructed to go to yet another class to learn how
to fill out another form for something that didn't have a lick to do
with the health care of the children she was helping.
That is wrong, and we can stop it, and we ought to do it.
We met a very compelling doctor named Lilian Beard who said that she
did not get into her profession to spend hours and hours, some doctors
up to 25 hours a week, just filling our forms. She told us she became a
doctor to keep children well and to help save those who got sick. We
can relieve people like her of this burden.
We learned, the Vice President and I did, that in the Washington
Children's Hospital alone the administrators told us that they spend $2
million a year, in one hospital, filling out forms that have nothing
whatever to do with keeping up with the treatment of the patients. And
the doctors there applauded when I was told and I related to them that
they spend so much time filling out paperwork that, if they only had to
fill out those paperwork requirements necessary to monitor the health
of the children, each doctor on that one hospital staff, 200 of them,
could see another 500 children a year. That is 10,000 children a year.
I think we can save money in this system if we simplify it. And we
can make the doctors and the nurses--and the people that have given
their lives to help us all be healthier--a whole lot happier, too, on
their jobs.
Under our proposal there would be one standard insurance form, not
hundreds of them. We will simplify also, and we must, the Government's
rules and regulations because they are a big part of this problem.
This is one of those cases where the physician should heal thyself.
We have to reinvent the way we relate to the health care system along
with reinventing Government. A doctor should not have to check with a
bureaucrat in an office thousands of miles away before ordering a
simple blood test; that is not right, and we can change it.
And doctors, nurses, and consumers should not have to worry about the
fine print. If we have this one simple form, there will not be any fine
print. People will know what it means.
The third principle is savings. Reform must produce savings in this
health care system; it has to. We are spending over 14 percent of our
income on health care; Canada is at 10; nobody else is over 9. We are
competing with all these people for the future. And the other major
countries, they cover everybody, and they cover them with services as
generous as the best company policies here in this country.
Rampant medical inflation is eating away at our wages, our savings,
our investment capital, our ability to create new jobs in the private
sector and this Public Treasury. You know the budget we just adopted
had steep cuts in defense, a 5-year freeze on the discretionary
spending so critical to reeducating America, and investing in jobs and
helping us to convert from a defense to a domestic economy. But we
passed the budget which has Medicaid increases of between 16 and 11
percent a year over the next 5 years and Medicare increases of between
11 and 9 percent in an environment where we assume inflation will be at
4 percent or less.
We cannot continue to do this. Our competitiveness, our whole
economy, the integrity of the way the Government works, and ultimately
our living standards depend upon our ability to achieve savings without
harming the quality of health care.
Unless we do this, our workers will lose $655 in income each year by
the end of the decade. Small businesses will continue to face
skyrocketing premiums, and a full third of small businesses now
covering their employees say they will be forced to drop their
insurance. Large corporations will bear bigger disadvantages in global
competition, and health care costs will devour more and more and more
of our budget.
Pretty soon all of you, or the people who succeed you, will be
showing up here and writing out checks for health care and interest on
the debt and worrying about whether we have got enough defense, and
that will be it, unless we have the courage to achieve the savings that
are plainly there before us.
Every State and local government will continue to cut back on
everything from education to law enforcement to pay more and more for
the same health care.
These rising costs are a special nightmare for our small businesses,
the engine of our entrepreneurship and our job creation in America
today. Health care premiums for small businesses are 35 percent higher
than those of large corporations today, and they will keep rising at
double-digit rates unless we act.
So how will we achieve these savings? Rather than looking at price
controls or looking away as the price spiral continues, rather than
using the heavy hand of Government to try to control what is happening
or continuing to ignore what is happening, we believe there is a third
way to achieve these savings:
First, to give groups of consumers and small businesses the same
market bargaining power that large corporations and large groups of
public employees now have. We want to let mar-
[[Page 1185]]
ket forces enable plans to compete. We want to force these plans to
compete on the basis of price and quality, not simply to allow them to
continue making money by turning people away who are sick or old or
performing mountains of unnecessary procedures.
But we also believe we should back this system up with limits on how
much plans can raise their premiums year in and year out, forcing
people again to continue to pay more for the same health care without
regard to inflation or the rising population needs.
We want to create what has been missing in this system for too long
and what every successful nation who has dealt with this problem has
already had to do: to have a combination of private market forces and a
sound public policy that will support that competition but limit the
rate at which prices can exceed the rate of inflation and population
growth if the competition does not work, especially in the early going.
The second thing I want to say is that, unless everybody is covered--
and this is a very important thing--unless everybody is covered, we
will never be able to fully put the brakes on health care inflation.
Why is that? Because when people do not have any health insurance, they
still get health care; but they get it when it is too late, when it is
too expensive, often from the most expensive place of all: the
emergency room.
Usually by the time they show up, their illnesses are more severe and
their mortality rates are much higher in our hospitals than those who
have insurance. So they cost us more.
And what else happens? Since they get the care but they do not pay,
who does pay? All the rest of us. We pay in higher hospital bills and
higher insurance premiums. This cost shifting is a major problem.
The third thing we can do to save money is simply by simplifying the
system, what we have already discussed. Freeing the health care
providers from these costly and unnecessary paperwork and
administrative decisions will save tens of billions of dollars.
We spend twice as much as any other major country does on paperwork.
We spend at least a dime on the dollar more than any other major
country. That is a stunning statistic, and it is something that every
Republican and every Democrat ought to be able to say: ``We agree that
we are going to squeeze this out; we cannot tolerate this. This has
nothing to do with keeping people well or helping them when they are
sick.''
We should invest the money in something else.
We also have to crack down on fraud and abuse in the system. That
drains billions of dollars a year. It is a very large figure, according
to every health care expert I have ever spoken with.
I believe we can achieve large savings, and that large savings can be
used to cover the unemployed, uninsured, and will be used for people
who realize those savings in the private sector to increase their
ability to invest and grow, to hire new workers or to give their
workers pay raises, many of them for the first time in years.
Now, nobody has to take my word for this; you can ask Dr. Koop. He is
up here with us tonight, and I thank him for being here.
Since he left his distinguished tenure as our Surgeon General, he has
spent an enormous amount of time studying our health care system, how
it operates, what is right and wrong with it. He says we could spend
$200 billion every year, more than 20 percent of the total budget,
without sacrificing the high quality of American medicine.
Ask the public employees in California who have held their own
premiums down by adopting the same strategy that I want every American
to be able to adopt, bargaining within the limits of a strict budget.
Ask Xerox which saved an estimated thousand dollars per worker on
their health insurance premium.
Ask the staff of the Mayo Clinic, who we all agree provides some of
the finest health care in the world. They are holding their cost
increases to less than half the national average.
Ask the people of Hawaii, the only State that covers virtually all of
their citizens and have still been able to keep costs below the
national average.
People may disagree over the best way to fix this system. We may all
disagree about how quickly we can do what, the thing that we have to
do; but we cannot disagree that we can find tens of billions of dollars
in savings in what is clearly the most costly and the most bureaucratic
system in the entire world. And we have to do something about that, and
we have to do it now.
The fourth principle is choice. Americans believe they ought to be
able to choose their own health care plans and keep their own doctors.
And I think all of us agree.
Under any plan we pass, they ought to have that right. But today
under our broken health care system, in spite of the rhetoric of
choice, the fact is that that power is slipping away from more and more
Americans. Of course it is usually the employer, not the employee, who
makes the initial choice of what health care plan the employee will be
in. And if your employer offers only one plan, as nearly three-quarters
of small- and medium-size firms do today, you are stuck with that plan
and the doctors that it covers.
We propose to give every American a choice among high quality plans.
You can stay with your current doctor, join a network of doctors and
hospitals, or join a health maintenance organization. If you do not
like your plan, every year you will have the chance to choose a new
one.
The choice will be left to the American citizen, the worker, not the
boss, and certainly not some Government bureaucrat.
We also believe that doctors should have a choice as to what plans
they practice in; otherwise citizens may have their own choices
limited.
We want to end the discrimination that is now growing against doctors
and to permit them to practice in several different plans. Choice is
important for doctors, and it is absolutely critical for our consumers.
We have got to have it in whatever plan we pass.
The fifth principle is quality. If we reform everything else in
health care but fail to preserve and enhance the high quality of our
medical care, we will have taken a step backward, not forward.
Quality is something that we simply can't leave to chance. When you
board an airplane, you feel better knowing that the plane had to meet
the standards designed to protect your safety, and we can not ask any
less of our health care system.
Our proposal will create report cards on health plans, so that
consumers can choose the highest quality health care providers and
reward them with their business. At the same time, our plan will track
quality indicators so that doctors can make better and smarter choices
of the kind of care they provide.
We have evidence that more efficient delivery of health care doesn't
decrease quality. In fact, it may enhance it. Let me just give you one
example of one commonly performed procedure, the coronary bypass
operation.
Pennsylvania discovered that patients who were charged $21,000 for
this surgery received as good or better care as patients who were
charged $84,000 for the same procedure in the same State. High prices
simply don't always equal good quality.
Our plan will guarantee that high quality information is available in
even the most remote areas of this country, so that we can have high
quality service, linking rural doctors, for example, with hospitals,
with high-technology urban medical centers. And our plan will ensure
the quality of continuing progress on a whole range of issues by
speeding research on effective prevention and treatment measures for
cancer, for AIDS, for Alzheimer's, for heart disease, and for other
chronic diseases.
We have to safeguard the finest medical research establishment in the
entire world, and we will do that with this plan. Indeed, we will even
make it better.
The sixth and final principle is responsibility. We need to restore a
sense that we are all in this together and that we all have a
responsibility to be a part of the solution.
Responsibility has to start with those who profit from the current
system. Responsibility means insurance companies should no longer be
allowed to cast people aside when they get sick. It should apply to
laboratories that submit fraudulent bills, to lawyers who abuse
malpractice claims, to doctors who order unnecessary procedures. It
means drug companies should no longer charge three times more for pre-
[[Page 1186]]
scription drugs made in America here in the United States than they
charge for the same drugs overseas.
In short, responsibility should apply to anybody who abuses this
system and drives up the cost for honest, hard-working citizens, and
undermines confidence in the honest, gifted health care providers we
have.
Responsibility also means changing some behaviors in this country
that drive up our costs like crazy, and without charging them we will
never have the system we ought to have. We will never. Let me just
mention a few, and start with the most important.
The outrageous costs of violence in this country stem in large
measure from the fact that this is the only country in the world where
teenagers can walk the streets at random with semiautomatic weapons and
be better armed than the police.
Let us not kid ourselves. It is not that simple.
We also have higher rates of AIDS, of smoking and excessive drinking,
of teen pregnancy, of low birth weight babies, and we have the third
worst immunization rate of any nation in the Western Hemisphere. We
have to change our ways if we ever really want to be healthy as a
people and have an affordable health care system, and no one can deny
that.
But let me say this, and I hope every American will listen, because
this is not an easy thing to hear. Responsibility in our health care
system is not just about them. It is about you. It is about me. It is
about each of us.
Too many of us have not taken responsibility for our own health care
and for our own relations to the health care system. Many of us who
have had fully paid health care plans have used the system whether we
needed it or not, without thinking what the costs were. Many people who
use this system do not pay a penny for their care, even though they can
afford to.
I think those who do not have any health insurance should be
responsible for paying a portion of their new coverage. There can not
be any something for nothing, and we have to demonstrate that to
people. This is not a free system.
Even small contributions, as small as a $10 copayment when you visit
a doctor, illustrates that this is something of value. There is a cost
to it. It is not free.
And I want to tell you that I believe that all of us should have
insurance. Why should the rest of us pick up the tab when a guy who
does not think he needs insurance or says he can not afford it gets in
an accident, winds up in an emergency room, gets good care, and
everybody else pays? Why should the small business people who are
struggling to keep afloat and take care of their employees have to pay
to maintain this wonderful health care infrastructure for those who
refuse to do anything?
If we are going to produce a better health care system for every one
of us, every one of us is going to have to do our part. There can not
be any such thing as a free ride. We have to pay for it. We have to pay
for it.
Tonight I want to say plainly how I think we should do that. Most of
the money would come, under my way of thinking, as it does today, from
premiums paid by employers and individuals. That is the way it happens
today.
But under this health care security plan, every employer and every
individual will be asked to contribute something to help here.
This concept was first conveyed to the Congress about 20 years ago by
President Nixon, and today a lot of people agree with the concept of
shared responsibility between employers and employees, and that the
best thing to do is to ask every employer and every employee to share
that. The Chamber of Commerce has said that, and they are not in the
business of hurting small business. The American Medical Association
has said that.
Some call it an employer mandate, but I think it is the fairest way
to achieve responsibility in the health care system, and it is the
easiest for ordinary Americans to understand, because it builds on what
we already have and what already works for so many Americans. It is the
reform that is not only easiest to understand but easiest to implement
in a way that is fair to small business, because we can give a discount
to help struggling small businesses meet the cost of covering their
employees.
We should require the least bureaucracy or disruption and create the
cooperation we need to make the system cost-conscious even as we expand
coverage, and we should do it in a way that does not cripple small
businesses and low-wage workers. Every employer should provide
coverage, just as three-quarters do now. Those who pay are picking up
the tab for those who do not today. I do not think that is right.
To finance the rest of reform, we can achieve new savings, as I have
outlined, in both the Federal Government and the private sector through
better decisionmaking and increased competition. And we will impose new
taxes on tobacco.
I do not think that should be the only source of revenues. I believe
we should also ask for a modest contribution from big employers who opt
out of the system, to make up for that those who are in the system pay
for medical research, for health education centers, for all of the
subsidies to small business, for all of the things that everyone else
is contributing to.
But between those two things, we believe we can pay for this package
of benefits and universal coverage and a subsidy program that will help
small business. These sources can cover the cost of the proposal that I
have described tonight.
We subjected the numbers in our proposal to the scrutiny of not only
all the major agencies in Government. I know a lot of people don't
trust them, but it would be interesting for the American people to know
that this was the first time that the financial experts on health care
in all the different Government agencies had ever been required to sit
in a room together and agree on numbers. It had never happened before.
But obviously that is not enough, so then we gave these numbers to
actuaries from major accounting firms and major Fortune 500 companies
who have no stake in this, other than to see that our efforts succeed.
So I believe our numbers are good and achievable.
Now what does this mean to an individual American citizen? Some will
be asked to pay more. If you are an employer and you are not insuring
your workers at all, you will have to pay more. But if you are a small
business with fewer than 50 employees, you will get a subsidy. If you
are a firm that provides only very limited coverage, you may have to
pay more, but some firms will pay the same or less for more coverage.
If you are a young single person in your twenties, and you are
already insured, your rates may go up somewhat because you are going to
go into a big pool with middle-aged people and older people, and we
want to enable people to keep that insurance even when someone in their
family gets sick. But I think that is fair, because when the young get
older they will benefit from it, first; and, second, even those who pay
a little more today will benefit 4, 5, 6, 7 years from now by our
bringing health care costs closer to inflation. Over the long-run we
can all win, but some will have to pay more in the short run.
Nevertheless, the vast majority of the Americans watching this
tonight will pay the same or less for health care coverage that will be
the same or better than the coverage they have tonight. That is the
simple reality.
If you currently get your health insurance through your job, you
still will. And for the first time, everybody will get to choose from
among at least three plans to belong to.
If you are a small business owner who wants to provide health
insurance to your family and your employees but you cannot afford it
because the system is stacked against you, this plan will give you a
discount that will finally make insurance affordable.
If you are already providing insurance, your rates may well drop
because we will help you as a small business person join thousands of
others to get the same benefits big corporations get at the same price
they get those benefits.
If you are self-employed, you will pay less, and you will get to
deduct from your taxes 100 percent of your health care premiums.
If you are a large employer, your health care costs will not go up as
fast, so that you will have more money to put into higher wages, and
new jobs, and to put into the work of being competitive in this tough
global economy.
[[Page 1187]]
Now, these, my fellow Americans, are the principles on which I think
we should base our efforts: security, simplicity, savings, choice,
quality, and responsibility. These are guiding stars that we should
follow on our journey toward health care reform.
Over the coming months you will be bombarded with information from
all kinds of sources. There will be some who will stoutly disagree with
what I have proposed, and with all other plans in the Congress for that
matter. And some of the arguments will be genuinely sincere and
enlightening; others may simply be scare tactics by those who are
motivated by the self-interests they have in the waste the system now
generates, because that waste is providing jobs, incomes, and money for
some people.
I ask you only to think of this when you hear all these arguments:
Ask yourself whether the cost of staying on this same course is not
greater than the cost of change. And ask yourself when you hear the
arguments whether the arguments are in your interests or someone
else's.
This is something we have got to try to do together.
I want also to say to the Representatives in Congress you have a
special duty to look beyond these arguments. I ask you instead to look
into the eyes of the sick child who needs care, to think of the face of
the woman who has been told not only that her condition is malignant,
but not covered by her insurance, to look at the bottom lines of the
businesses driven to bankruptcy by health-care costs, to look at the
for-sale signs in front of the homes of families who have lost
everything because of their health-care costs.
I ask you to remember the kind of people I have met for the last year
and a half: the elderly couple in New Hampshire that broke down and
cried because of their shame at having an empty refrigerator to pay for
their drugs; a woman who list a $50,000 job that she used to support
her six children because her youngest child was so ill that she could
not keep health insurance and the only way to get care for the child
was to get public assistance; a young couple that had a sick child and
could only get insurance from one of the parents' employers that was a
nonprofit corporation with 20 employees, and so they had to face the
question of whether to let this poor person with the sick child go or
raise the premiums of every employee in the firm by $200.
And on and on and on.
I know we have differences of opinion, but we are here tonight in a
spirit that is animated by the problems of those people and by the sure
knowledge that, if we can look into our hearts, we will not be able to
say that the greatest Nation in the history of the world is powerless
to confront this crisis.
Our history and our heritage tell us that we can meet this challenge.
Everything about America's past tells us we will do it.
So I say to you, ``Let us write that new chapter in the American
story. Let us guarantee every American comprehensive health benefits
that can never be taken away.''
You know, in spite of all the work we have done together and all the
progress we have made, there are still a lot of people who say it would
be an outright miracle if we passed health care reform.
But, my fellow Americans, in a time of change you have to have
miracles; and miracles do happen. I mean, just a few days ago we saw a
simple handshake shatter decades of deadlock in the Middle East. We
have seen the walls crumble in Berlin and South Africa. We see the
ongoing brave struggle of the people of Russia to seize freedom and
democracy. And now it is our turn to strike a blow for freedom in this
country, the freedom of Americans to live without fear that their own
Nation's health-care system will not be there for them when they need
it.
It is hard to believe that there was once a time in this century when
that kind of fear gripped old age, when retirement was nearly
synonymous with poverty, and older Americans died in the street. That
is unthinkable today because over a half century ago Americans had the
courage to change, to create a Social Security system that ensures that
no Americans will be forgotten in their later years.
Forty years from now our grandchildren will also find it unthinkable
that there was a time in this country when hard-working families lost
their homes, their savings, their businesses, lost everything simply
because their children got sick or because they had to change jobs. Our
grandchildren will find such things unthinkable tomorrow if we have the

House of Representatives,

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 on Monday, September
27, 1993 at 10:40 a.m. and said to contain a message from the
President whereby he transmits a copy of an Executive order
entitled ``Prohibiting Certain Transactions Involving
UNITA.''
With great respect, I am
Sincerely yours,
Donnald K. Anderson,
Clerk.
Para. 106.6 national emergency with respect to angola
The Clerk then read the message from the President, as follows:
To the Congress of the United States:
Pursuant to section 204(b) of the International Emergency Economic
Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. section 1703(b), and section 301 of the National
Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. section 1631, I hereby report that I have
exercised my statutory authority to declare a national emergency with
respect to the actions and policies of the National Union for the Total
Independence of Angola (``UNITA'') and to issue an Executive order
prohibiting the sale or supply to Angola, other than through designated
points of entry, or to UNITA, of arms and related materiel and petroleum
and petroleum products, regardless of their origin, and activities that
promote or are calculated to promote such sale or supply. These actions
are mandated in part by United Nations Security Council Resolution No.
864 of September 15, 1993.
The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to issue regulations in
exercise of my authorities under the International Emergency Economic
Power Act and the United National Participation Act, 22 U.S.C. section
287c, to implement these prohibitions. All Federal agencies are also
directed to take actions within their authority to carry out the
provisions of the Executive order.
I am enclosing a copy of the Executive order that I have issued. The
order was effective immediately upon its signature on September 26,
1993.
I have authorized these measures in response to the actions and
policies of UNITA in continuing military actions, repeated attempts to
seize additional territory, and failure to withdraw its troops from the
locations that it has occupied since the resumption of hostilities, in
repeatedly attacking United Nations personnel working to provide
humanitarian assistance, in holding foreign nationals against their
will, in refusing to accept the results of the democratic elections held
in Angola in 1992, and in failing to abide by the ``Acordos de Paz.''
The actions of UNITA constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to
the foreign policy of the United States.
On September 15, 1993, the United Nations Security Council adopted
Resolution No. 864, condemning the activities of UNITA and demanding
that UNITA accept unreservedly the results of the democratic election of
September 30, 1992, and abide fully by the ``Acordos de Paz.'' The
resolution decides that all states are required to prevent the sale or
supply of arms and related materiel and petroleum and petroleum products
to Angola, other than through named points of entry specified by the
Government of Angola. The measures we are taking express our outrage at
UNITA's continuing hostilities and failure to abide by the outcome of
Angola's democratic election.
William J. Clinton.

Mr. MANTON moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following
concurrent resolution of the Senate (S. Con. Res. 5); as amended:
Where informed research on the United States Congress
depends heavily on access to the office files, personal
papers, oral history interview transcripts, and associated

Whereas the Senate in 1983 and the House of Representatives
in 1988 have published well-received guides to these
materials; and
Whereas thousands of new entries have been added to the
Senate's 1983 edition and supplies of this award-winning
reference guide have been exhausted: 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 ``Guide to Research Collections
of Former United States Senators'' prepared by the Senate

Para. 106.10 senate election and expulsion cases
Mr. MANTON moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following

section 5, provides that ``Each House shall be the Judge of
the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own
Members'' and that ``Each House may * * * punish its Members
for disorderly Behavior, and, with the Concurrence of two
thirds, expel a Member'';
Whereas the Senate has sought faithfully to exercise these
constitutional requirements of self-discipline through its
more than two-hundred-year history;
Whereas the Senate, beginning in 1885, has periodically
published compilations of its election, expulsion, and
censure cases for the guidance of members and the American
people; and
Whereas the most recent edition is now twenty years out of
date: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives

Censure Cases'' prepared by the Senate Historical Office
under the supervision of the Secretary of the Senate.

President, as chief executive officer of the Government and
commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, based upon advice
provided to the President by the Secretary of Defense and the
military advisers to the President and Secretary.

So the amendment was not agreed to.
After some further time,
Para. 107.17 recorded vote
A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of
the Whole on the following amendment submitted by Mr. SKELTON:
Strike out section 575 (page 198, line 7, through page 206,
line 11) and insert in lieu thereof the following:
SEC. 575. POLICY CONCERNING HOMOSEXUALITY IN THE ARMED
FORCES.
(a) Codification.--(1) Chapter 37 of title 10, United
States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following
new section:
``Sec. 654. Policy concerning homosexuality in the armed
forces
``(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
``(1) Section 8 of article I of the Constitution of the
United States commits exclusively to the Congress the powers
to raise and support armies, provide and maintain a Navy, and
make rules for the government and regulation of the land and
naval forces.
``(2) There is no constitutional right to serve in the
armed forces.
``(3) Pursuant to the powers conferred by section 8 of
article I of the Constitution of the United States, it lies
within the discretion of the Congress to establish
qualifications for and conditions of service in the armed
forces.
``(4) The primary purpose of the armed forces is to prepare
for and to prevail in combat should the need arise.
``(5) The conduct of military operations requires members
of the armed forces to make extraordinary sacrifices,
including the ultimate sacrifice, in order to provide for the
common defense.
``(6) Success in combat requires military units that are
characterized by high morale, good order and discipline, and
unit cohesion.
``(7) One of the most critical elements in combat
capability is unit cohesion, that is, the bonds of trust
among individual service members that make the combat
effectiveness of a military unit greater than the sum of the
combat effectiveness of the individual unit members.
``(8) Military life is fundamentally different from
civilian life in that--
``(A) the extraordinary responsibilities of the armed
forces, the unique conditions of military service, and the
critical role of unit cohesion, require that the military
community, while subject to civilian control, exist as a
specialized society; and
``(B) the military society is characterized by its own
laws, rules, customs, and traditions, including numerous
restrictions on personal behavior, that would not be
acceptable in civilian society.
``(9) The standards of conduct for members of the armed
forces regulate a member's life for 24 hours each day
beginning at the moment the member enters military status and
not ending until that person is discharged or otherwise
separated from the armed forces.
``(10) Those standards of conduct, including the Uniform
Code of Military Justice, apply to a member of the armed
forces at all times that the member has a military status,
whether the member is on base or off base, and whether the
member is on duty or off duty.
``(11) The pervasive application of the standards of
conduct is necessary because members of the armed forces must
be ready at all times for worldwide deployment to a combat
environment.
``(12) The worldwide deployment of United States military
forces, the international responsibilities of the United
States, and the potential for involvement of the armed forces
in actual combat routinely make it necessary for members of
the armed forces involuntarily to accept living conditions
and working conditions that are often spartan, primitive, and
characterized by forced intimacy with little or no privacy.
``(13) The prohibition against homosexual conduct is a
longstanding element of military law that continues to be
necessary in
[[Page 1206]]
the unique circumstances of military service.
``(14) The armed forces must maintain personnel policies
that exclude persons whose presence in the armed forces would
create an unacceptable risk to the armed forces' high
standards of morale, good order and discipline, and unit
cohesion that are the essence of military capability.
``(15) The presence in the armed forces of persons who
demonstrate a propensity or intent to engage in homosexual
acts would create an unacceptable risk to the high standards
of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion that
are the essence of military capability.
``(b) Policy.--A member of the armed forces shall be
separated from the armed forces under regulations prescribed
by the Secretary of Defense if one or more of the following
findings is made and approved in accordance with procedures
set forth in such regulations:
``(1) That the member has engaged in, attempted to engage
in, or solicited another to engage in a homosexual act or
acts unless there are further findings, made and approved in
accordance with procedures set forth in such regulations,
that the member has demonstrated that--
``(A) such conduct is a departure from the member's usual
and customary behavior;
``(B) such conduct, under all the circumstances, is
unlikely to recur;
``(C) such conduct was not accomplished by use of force,
coercion, or intimidation;
``(D) under the particular circumstances of the case, the
member's continued presence in the armed forces is consistent
with the interests of the armed forces in proper discipline,
good order, and morale; and
``(E) the member does not have a propensity or intent to
engage in homosexual acts.
``(2) That the member has stated that he or she is a
homosexual or bisexual, or words to that effect, unless there
is a further finding, made and approved in accordance with
procedures set forth in the regulations, that the member has
demonstrated that he or she is not a person who engages in,
attempts to engage in, has a propensity to engage in, or
intends to engage in homosexual acts.
``(3) That the member has married or attempted to marry a
person known to be of the same biological sex.
``(c) Entry Standards and Documents.--(1) The Secretary of
Defense shall ensure that the standards for enlistment and
appointment of members of the armed forces reflect the
policies set forth in subsection (b).
``(2) The documents used to effectuate the enlistment or
appointment of a person as a member of the armed forces shall
set forth the provisions of subsection (b).
``(d) Required Briefings.--The briefings that members of
the armed forces receive upon entry into the armed forces and
periodically thereafter under section 937 of this title
(article 137 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice) shall
include a detailed explanation of the applicable laws and
regulations governing sexual conduct by members of the armed
forces, including the policies prescribed under subsection
(b).
``(e) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in subsection (b)
shall be construed to require that a member of the armed
forces be processed for separation from the armed forces when
a determination is made in accordance with regulations
prescribed by the Secretary of Defense that--
``(1) the member engaged in conduct or made statements for
the purpose of avoiding or terminating military service; and
``(2) separation of the member would not be in the best
interest of the armed forces.
``(f) Definitions.--In this section:
``(1) The term `homosexual' means a person, regardless of
sex, who engages in, attempts to engage in, has a propensity
to engage in, or intends to engage in homosexual acts, and
includes the terms `gay' and `lesbian'.
``(2) The term `bisexual' means a person who engages in,
attempts to engage in, has a propensity to engage in, or
intends to engage in homosexual and heterosexual acts.
``(3) The term `homosexual act' means--
``(A) any bodily contact, actively undertaken or passively
permitted, between members of the same sex for the purpose of
satisfying sexual desires; and
``(B) any bodily contact which a reasonable person would
understand to demonstrate a propensity or intent to engage in
an act described in subparagraph (A).''.
(2) The table of sections at the beginning of such chapter
is amended by adding at the end the following:
``654. Policy concerning homosexuality in the armed forces.''.
(b) Regulations.--Not later than 90 days after the date of
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall revise
Department of Defense regulations, and issue such new
regulations as may be necessary, to implement section 654 of
title 10, United States Code, as added by subsection (a).
(c) Savings Provision.--Nothing in this section or section
654 of title 10, United States Code, as added by subsection
(a) may be construed to invalidate any inquiry,
investigation, administrative action or proceeding, court-
martial, or judicial proceeding conducted before the
effective date of regulations issued by the Secretary of
Defense to implement such section 654.
(d) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the suspension of questioning concerning homosexuality
as part of the processing of individuals for accession into
the Armed Forces under the interim policy of January 29,
1993, should be continued, but the Secretary of Defense may
reinstate that questioning with such questions or such
revised questions as he considers appropriate if the
Secretary determines that it is necessary to do so in order
to effectuate the policy set forth in section 654 of title
10, United States Code, as added by subsection (a); and
(2) the Secretary of Defense should consider issuing
guidance governing the circumstances under which members of
the Armed Forces questioned about homosexuality for
administrative purposes should be afforded warnings similar
to the warnings under section 831(b) of title 10, United
States Code (article 31(b) of the Uniform Code of Military
Justice).

SEC. 1043. INVOLVEMENT OF ARMED FORCES IN SOMALIA.
(a) Sense of Congress Regarding United States Policy Toward
Somalia.--

contributions under Operation Restore Hope toward the
establishment of a secure environment for humanitarian relief
operations and restoration of peace in the region to end the
humanitarian disaster that had climbed more than 300,000
lives.
(2) Since the mission of United States forces in support of
the United Nations appears to be evolving from the
establishment of ``a secure environment for humanitarian
relief operations,'' as set out in United Nations Security
Council Resolution 794 of December 3, 1992, to one of
internal security and nation building.
(b) Statement of Congressional Policy.--
(1) Consultation with the congress.--The President should
consult closely with the Congress regarding United States
policy with respect to Somalia, including in particular the
deployment of United States Armed Forces in that country,
whether under United Nations or United States command.
(2) Planning.--The United States shall facilitate the
assumption of the functions of United States forces by the
United Nations.
(3) Reporting requirement.--
(A) The President shall ensure that the goals and
objectives supporting deployment of United States forces to
Somalia and a description of the mission, command
arrangements, size, functions, location, and anticipated
duration in Somalia of those forces are clearly articulated
and provided in a detailed report to the Congress by October
15, 1993.
(B) Such report shall include the status of planning to
transfer the function contained in paragraph (2).
(4) Congressional approval.--Upon reporting under the
requirements of paragraph (3) Congress believes the President
should be November 15, 1993, seek the receive congressional
authorization in order for the deployment of United States
forces to Somalia to continue.

Russian Reform
Sec. 579. (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
[[Page 1219]]
(1) President Yeltsin has consistently tried to push
forward economic and political reform:
(2) President Yeltsin was given a mandate by the Russian
people to hold elections and continue the process of economic
reform:
(3) Boris Yeltsin is the first and only popularly elected
president of Russia, and the parliament of Russia is a
holdover from the Soviet regime;
(4) the conservative parliament has consistently impeded
political and economic progress in Russia;
(5) slow progress on economic reform has prompted the IMF
to review its disbursement of Russia's second tranche from
the Systemic Transformation Facility;
(6) political and economic reform has been impeded by the
actions of the hardline parliament; and
(7) corruption is rampant and is impeding economic and
political reform and must be vigorously and effectively
combated.
(b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that--
(1) the Congress supports President Yeltsin in his effort
to continue the reform process in Russia, including his call
for new parliamentary elections consistent with the results
of the April 25, 1993 referendum; and
(2) further United States Government economic assistance
should be provided in accordance with President Yeltsin's
call for and holding of free, fair, and democratic
parliamentary elections.
And the Senate agree to the same.

XXIX of Public Law 101-510; 10 U.S.C. 2687 note) is amended--
(1) by redesignating sections 2910 and 2911 as sections

realignment of military installations under this part, the
Secretary and the Commission shall include recommendations
for the termination and reduction of military operations
carried out by the United States at military installations
outside the United States.
``(b) Selection Criteria.--(1) Not later than December 31,
1993, the Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register and
transmit to the congressional defense committees the criteria
proposed to be used by the Department of Defense in making
recommendations for terminating and reducing military
operations carried out by the United States at military
installations outside the United States. The Secretary shall
provide an opportunity for public comment on the proposed

military operations carried out by the United States at
military installations outside the United States.
``(3) The criteria developed under this subsection, along
with the force-structure plan referred to in section 2903(a),
shall be the final criteria to be used in making
recommendations for terminating and reducing military
operations carried out by the United States at military
installations outside the United States, unless the criteria
are--
``(A) disapproved by a joint resolution of Congress enacted
on or before March 15, 1994; or
``(B) amended by the Secretary in the manner described in
section 2903(b)(2)(B).
``(c) Recommendations of the Secretary.--The Secretary

operations of the United States at specified military
installations outside the United States.
``(e) Review and Transmittal by the President.--The

``(f) Failure To Include Sufficient Overseas
Installations.--(1) In the case of the recommendations of the

pursuant to subsection (e), if the closure or realignment of
military installations outside the United States does not
account for at least 25 percent of the closure and
realignment recommendations of the Commission, as certified
by the Commission under paragraph (2), then the process by
which military installations may be selected for closure or
realignment under this part with respect to that year shall
be terminated.
``(2) In determining whether the percentage specified in
paragraph (1) is satisfied, the Commission shall calculate
such percentage both in terms of--
``(A) the number of military installations outside the
United States recommended for closure or realignment as a
percentage of the total number of military installations
recommended for closure or realignment that year; and
``(B) the number of military personnel and civilian
employees of the Department of Defense stationed or employed
outside the United States directly affected by the rec-
ommendations as a percentage of the total number of military
personnel and civilian employees of the Department of Defense
directly affected by the recommendations.''.
(c) Conforming Amendments.--(1) Subsection (b) of section
2901 of such Act is amended to read as follows:
``(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this part is to provide a
fair process that will result in the timely closure and
realignment of military installations inside and outside the
United States.''.
(2) Section 2911 of such Act, as redesignated by subsection
(a)(1), is amended--
(A) in paragraph (4), by inserting after the first sentence
the following new sentence: ``With respect to military
operations carried out by the United States outside the
United States, such term includes the sites and facilities at
which such operations are carried out without regard to
whether the sites and facilities are owned by the United
States.''; and
(B) by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
``(8) The terms `closure' and `realignment' include, with
respect to military operations carried out by the United
States outside the United States, the termination or
reduction of such operations.''.

So the amendment was agreed to.
The question being put, viva voce,
Will the House agree to the following amendment [the Lloyd amendment]
on which a separate vote had been demanded?
At the end of title X (page 346, after line 23), insert the
following new sections:
SEC. 1043. SHARING DEFENSE BURDENS AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Since fiscal year 1985, the budget of the Department of
Defense has declined by 34 percent in real terms.
(2) During the past few years, the United States military
presence overseas has declined significantly in the following
ways:
(A) Since fiscal year 1986, the number of United States
military personnel permanently stationed overseas has
declined by almost 200,000 personnel.
(B) From fiscal year 1989 to fiscal year 1994, spending by
the United States to support the stationing of United States
military forces overseas will have declined by 36 percent.
(C) Since January 1990, the Department of Defense has
announced the closure, reduction, or transfer to standby
status of 840 United States military facilities overseas,
which is approximately a 50 percent reduction in the number
of such facilities.
(3) The United States military presence overseas will
continue to decline as a result of actions by the executive
branch and the following initiatives of the Congress:
(A) Section 1302 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 1993, which required a 40 percent reduction
by September 30, 1996, in the number of United States
military personnel permanently stationed ashore in overseas
locations.
(B) Section 1303 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 1993, which specified that no more than
100,000 United States military personnel may be permanently
stationed ashore in NATO member countries after September 30,
1996.
(C) Section 1301 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 1993, which reduced the spending proposed by
the Department of Defense for overseas basing activities
during fiscal year 1993 by $500,000,000.
(D) Sections 913 and 915 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991, which
directed the President to develop a plan to gradually reduce
the United States military force structure in East Asia.
(4) The East Asia Strategy Initiative, which was developed
in response to sections 913 and 915 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991, has
resulted in the withdrawal of 12,000 United States military
personnel from Japan and the Republic of Korea since fiscal
year 1990.
(5) In response to actions by the executive branch and the
Congress, allied countries in which United States military
personnel are stationed and alliances in which the United
States participates have agreed in the following ways to
reduce the costs incurred by the United States in basing
military forces overseas:
(A) Under the 1991 Special Measures Agreement between Japan
and the united States, Japan will pay by 1995 almost all yen-
denominated costs of stationing United States military
personnel in Japan.
(B) The Republic of Korea has agreed to pay by 1995, one-
third of the won-based costs incurred by the United States in
stationing United States military personnel in the Republic
of Korea.
(C) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has
agreed that the NATO Infrastructure Program will adapt to
support post-Cold War strategy and could pay the annual
operation and maintenance costs of facilities in Europe and
the United States that would support the reinforcement of
Europe by United States military forces and the participation
of United States military forces in peacekeeping and conflict
prevention operations.
(D) Such allied countries and alliances have agreed to more
fully share the responsibilities and burdens of providing for
mutual security and stability through steps such as the
following:
(i) The Republic of Korea has assumed the leadership role
regarding ground combat forces for the defense of the
Republic of Korea.
(ii) NATO had adopted the new mission of conducting
peacekeeping operations and is, for example, providing land,
sea, and air forces for United Nations efforts in the former
Yugoslavia.
(iii) The countries of western Europe are contributing
substantially to the development of democracy, stability, and
open market societies in eastern Europe and the former Soviet
Union.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the forward presence of United States military
personnel stationed overseas continues to be important to
United States security interests;
(2) that forward presence facilitates efforts to pursue
United States security interests on a collective basis rather
than pursuing them on a far more costly unilateral basis or
receding into isolationism;
(3) the bilateral and multilateral arrangements and
alliances in which that forward presence plays a part must be
further adapted to the security environment of the post-Cold
War period;
(4) the cost-sharing percentages for the NATO
Infrastructure Program should be reviewed with the aim of
reflecting current economic, political, and military
realities and thus reducing the United States cost-sharing
percentage; and
(5) the amounts obligated to conduct United States overseas
basing activities should decline significantly in fiscal year
1994 and in future fiscal years as--
(A) the number of United States military personnel
stationed overseas continues to decline; and
(B) the countries in which United States military personnel
are stationed and the alliances in which the United States
participates assume an increased share of United States
overseas basing costs.
(c) Reducing United States Overseas Basing Costs.--(1) In
order to achieve additional savings in overseas basing costs,
the President should--
(A) continue with the reductions in United States military
presence overseas as required by sections 1302 and 1303 of
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993;
and
(B) intensify his efforts to negotiate a more favorable
host-nation agreement with each foreign country to which this
paragraph applies under paragraph (3)(A).
(2) For purposes of paragraph (1)(B), a more favorable
host-nation agreement is an agreement under which such
foreign country--
(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 the 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 re-
[[Page 1222]]
spect 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.
(3)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), paragraph
(1)(B) 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
Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2346 et seq.); or
(ii) a foreign country that has agreed to assume, not later
than September 30, 1996, at least 75 percent of the
nonpersonnel costs of United States military installations in
the country.
(d) Obligational Limitation.--(1) The total amount
appropriated to the Department of Defense for Military
Personnel, for Operation and Maintenance, and for military
construction (including NATO Infrastructure) that is
obligated to conduct overseas basing activities during fiscal
year 1994 may not exceed $16,915,400,000 (such amount being
the amount appropriated for such purposes for fiscal year
1993 reduced by $3,300,000,000).
(2) For purposes of this subsection, the term ``overseas
basing activities'' means the activities of the Department of
Defense for which funds are provided through appropriations
for Military Personnel, 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.
(e) Allocations of Savings.--Any amounts appropriated to
the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1994 for the
purposes covered by subsection (d)(1) that are not available
to be used for those purposes by reason of the limitation in
that subsection shall be allocated by the Secretary of
Defense for operation and maintenance and for military
construction activities of the Department of Defense at
military installations and facilities located inside the
United States.

COUNTRIES AND REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS.

Secretary''; and
(B) by striking out ``Japan, Kuwait, and the Republic of
Korea'' and inserting in lieu thereof ``any country or
regional organization designated for purposes of this section

quarter'';
(B) by striking out ``congressional defense committees''
and inserting in lieu thereof ``Congress''; and
(C) by striking out ``Japan, Kuwait, and the Republic of

(b) Clerical Amendment.--The heading of such section is
amended to read as follows:
``SEC. 1045. BURDENSHARING CONTRIBUTIONS FROM DESIGNATED
COUNTRIES AND REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS.''.
SEC. 1045. MODIFICATION OF CERTAIN REPORT REQUIREMENTS.
(a) Biennial NATO Report.--Section 1002(d) of the
Department of Defense Authorization Act, 1985 (Public Law 98-
525; 22 U.S.C. 1928 note), is amended--
(1) by striking ``(1) Not later than April 1, 1990, and
biennially each year thereafter'' and inserting in lieu
thereof ``Not later than April 1 of each even-numbered
year'';
(2) by redesignating subparagraphs (A) and (B) as
paragraphs (1) and (2); and
(3) by striking out paragraph (2) (following the paragraph
(2) designated by paragraph (2) of this subsection).

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1992 and
1993 (Public Law 102-190; 105 Stat. 1467; 22 U.S.C. 1928
note) is amended--
(1) by striking out ``and'' at the end of paragraph (2);
(2) by striking out the period at the end of paragraph (3)
and inserting in lieu thereof ``; and''; and
(3) by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
``(4) specifying the incremental costs to the United States
associated with the permanent stationing ashore of United
States forces in foreign nations.''.
(c) Sense of Congress.--(1) The Congress finds that the
Secretary of Defense did not submit to Congress in a timely
manner the report on allied contributions to the common
defense required under section 1003 of the National Defense
Authorization Act, 1985 (Public Law 98-525; 98 Stat. 2577),
to be submitted not later than April 1, 1993.
(2) It is the sense of Congress that the timely submission
of such report to Congress each year is essential to the
deliberation by Congress concerning the annual defense
program.

So the amendment was agreed to.
The question being put, viva voce,
Will the House agree to the following amendment [the Skelton
amendment] on which a separate vote had been demanded?
Strike out section 575 (page 198, line 7, through page 206,
line 11) and insert in lieu thereof the following:
SEC. 575. POLICY CONCERNING HOMOSEXUALITY IN THE ARMED
FORCES.
(a) Codification.--(1) Chapter 37 of title 10, United
States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following
new section:
``Sec. 654. Policy concerning homosexuality in the armed
forces
``(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
``(1) Section 8 of article I of the Constitution of the
United States commits exclusively to the Congress the powers
to raise and support armies, provide and maintain a Navy, and
make rules for the government and regulation of the land and
naval forces.
``(2) There is no constitutional right to serve in the
armed forces.
``(3) Pursuant to the powers conferred by section 8 of
article I of the Constitution of the United States, it lies
within the discretion of the Congress to establish
qualifications for and conditions of service in the armed
forces.
``(4) The primary purpose of the armed forces is to prepare
for and to prevail in combat should the need arise.
``(5) The conduct of military operations requires members
of the armed forces to make extraordinary sacrifices,
including the ulti-
[[Page 1224]]
mate sacrifice, in order to provide for the common defense.
``(6) Success in combat requires military units that are
characterized by high morale, good order and discipline, and
unit cohesion.
``(7) One of the most critical elements in combat
capability is unit cohesion, that is, the bonds of trust
among individual service members that make the combat
effectiveness of a military unit greater than the sum of the
combat effectiveness of the individual unit members.
``(8) Military life is fundamentally different from
civilian life in that--
``(A) the extraordinary responsibilities of the armed
forces, the unique conditions of military service, and the
critical role of unit cohesion, require that the military
community, while subject to civilian control, exist as a
specialized society; and
``(B) the military society is characterized by its own
laws, rules, customs, and traditions, including numerous
restrictions on personal behavior, that would not be
acceptable in civilian society.
``(9) The standards of conduct for members of the armed
forces regulate a member's life for 24 hours each day
beginning at the moment the member enters military status and
not ending until that person is discharged or otherwise
separated from the armed forces.
``(10) Those standards of conduct, including the Uniform
Code of Military Justice, apply to a member of the armed
forces at all times that the member has a military status,
whether the member is on base or off base, and whether the
member is on duty or off duty.
``(11) The pervasive application of the standards of
conduct is necessary because members of the armed forces must
be ready at all times for worldwide deployment to a combat
environment.
``(12) The worldwide deployment of United States military
forces, the international responsibilities of the United
States, and the potential for involvement of the armed forces
in actual combat routinely make it necessary for members of
the armed forces involuntarily to accept living conditions
and working conditions that are often spartan, primitive, and
characterized by forced intimacy with little or no privacy.
``(13) The prohibition against homosexual conduct is a
longstanding element of military law that continues to be
necessary in the unique circumstances of military service.
``(14) The armed forces must maintain personnel policies
that exclude persons whose presence in the armed forces would
create an unacceptable risk to the armed forces' high
standards of morale, good order and discipline, and unit
cohesion that are the essence of military capability.
``(15) The presence in the armed forces of persons who
demonstrate a propensity or intent to engage in homosexual
acts would create an unacceptable risk to the high standards
of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion that
are the essence of military capability.
``(b) Policy.--A member of the armed forces shall be
separated from the armed forces under regulations prescribed
by the Secretary of Defense if one or more of the following
findings is made and approved in accordance with procedures
set forth in such regulations:
``(1) That the member has engaged in, attempted to engage
in, or solicited another to engage in a homosexual act or
acts unless there are further findings, made and approved in
accordance with procedures set forth in such regulations,
that the member has demonstrated that--
``(A) such conduct is a departure from the member's usual
and customary behavior;
``(B) such conduct, under all the circumstances, is
unlikely to recur;
``(C) such conduct was not accomplished by use of force,
coercion, or intimidation;
``(D) under the particular circumstances of the case, the
member's continued presence in the armed forces is consistent
with the interests of the armed forces in proper discipline,
good order, and morale; and
``(E) the member does not have a propensity or intent to
engage in homosexual acts.
``(2) That the member has stated that he or she is a
homosexual or bisexual, or words to that effect, unless there
is a further finding, made and approved in accordance with
procedures set forth in the regulations, that the member has
demonstrated that he or she is not a person who engages in,
attempts to engage in, has a propensity to engage in, or
intends to engage in homosexual acts.
``(3) That the member has married or attempted to marry a
person known to be of the same biological sex.
``(c) Entry Standards and Documents.--(1) The Secretary of
Defense shall ensure that the standards for enlistment and
appointment of members of the armed forces reflect the
policies set forth in subsection (b).
``(2) The documents used to effectuate the enlistment or
appointment of a person as a member of the armed forces shall
set forth the provisions of subsection (b).
``(d) Required Briefings.--The briefings that members of
the armed forces receive upon entry into the armed forces and
periodically thereafter under section 937 of this title
(article 137 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice) shall
include a detailed explanation of the applicable laws and
regulations governing sexual conduct by members of the armed
forces, including the policies prescribed under subsection
(b).
``(e) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in subsection (b)
shall be construed to require that a member of the armed
forces be processed for separation from the armed forces when
a determination is made in accordance with regulations
prescribed by the Secretary of Defense that--
``(1) the member engaged in conduct or made statements for
the purpose of avoiding or terminating military service; and
``(2) separation of the member would not be in the best
interest of the armed forces.
``(f) Definitions.--In this section:
``(1) The term `homosexual' means a person, regardless of
sex, who engages in, attempts to engage in, has a propensity
to engage in, or intends to engage in homosexual acts, and
includes the terms `gay' and `lesbian'.
``(2) The term `bisexual' means a person who engages in,
attempts to engage in, has a propensity to engage in, or
intends to engage in homosexual and heterosexual acts.
``(3) The term `homosexual act' means--
``(A) any bodily contact, actively undertaken or passively
permitted, between members of the same sex for the purpose of
satisfying sexual desires; and
``(B) any bodily contact which a reasonable person would
understand to demonstrate a propensity or intent to engage in
an act described in subparagraph (A).''.
(2) The table of sections at the beginning of such chapter
is amended by adding at the end the following:
``654. Policy concerning homosexuality in the armed forces.''.
(b) Regulations.--Not later than 90 days after the date of

title 10, United States Code, as added by subsection (a).
(c) Savings Provision.--Nothing in this section or section
654 of title 10, United States Code, as added by subsection

investigation, administrative action or proceeding, court-
martial, or judicial proceeding conducted before the

(d) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the suspension of questioning concerning homosexuality
as part of the processing of individuals for accession into

reinstate that questioning with such questions or such
revised questions as he considers appropriate if the
Secretary determines that it is necessary to do so in order
to effectuate the policy set forth in section 654 of title
10, United States Code, as added by subsection (a); and
(2) the Secretary of Defense should consider issuing
guidance governing the circumstances under which members of
the Armed Forces questioned about homosexuality for
administrative purposes should be afforded warnings similar
to the warnings under section 831(b) of title 10, United
States Code (article 31(b) of the Uniform Code of Military
Justice).

So the amendment was agreed to.
The question being put, viva voce,
Will the House agree to the following amendment [the Gephardt
amendment] on which a separate vote had been demanded?
At the end of title X (page 346, after line 23), insert the
following new section:
SEC. 1043. INVOLVEMENT OF ARMED FORCES IN SOMALIA.
(a) Sense of Congress Regarding United States Policy
Towards Somalia.--
(1) Since United States Armed Forces made significant
contributions under Operation Restore Hope towards the
establishment of a secure environment for humanitarian relief
operations and restoration of peace in the region to end the
humanitarian disaster that had claimed more than 300,000
lives.
(2) Since the mission of United States forces in support of
the United Nations appears to be evolving from the
establishment of ``a secure environment for humanitarian
relief operations,'' as set out in United Nations Security
Council Resolution 794 of December 3, 1992, to one of
internal security and nation building.
(b) Statement of Congressional Policy--
(1) Consultation with the congress.--The President should
consult closely with the Congress regarding United States
policy with respect to Somalia, including in particular the
deployment of United States Armed Forces in that country,
whether under United Nations or United States command.
(2) Planning.--The United States shall facilitate the
assumption of the functions of United States forces by the
United Nations.
(3) Reporting requirement.--
(A) The President shall ensure that the goals and
objectives supporting deployment of United States forces to
Somalia and a description of the mission, command
arrangements, size, functions, location, and anticipated
duration in Somalia of those forces are clearly articulated
and provided in a detailed report to the Congress by October
15, 1993.
(B) Such report shall include the status of planning to
transfer the function contained in paragraph (2).
(4) Congressional approval.--Upon reporting under the
requirements of paragraph (3) Congress believes the President
should by November 15, 1993, seek and receive congressional
authorization in order for the deployment of United States
forces to Somalia to continue.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, announced that the yeas had it.
Mr. LINDER 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.

the achievement by the interceptors of the single-shot
probability-of-kill specified in the system baseline
description established pursuant to section 2435(a)(1)(A) of
title 10, United States Code, before the program entered
full-scale engineering development.
SEC. 241. ARROW TACTICAL ANTI-MISSILE PROGRAM.
(a) Endorsement of Cooperative Research and Development.--
Congress reiterates its endorsement (previously stated in
section 225(a)(5) of Public Law 101-510 (104 Stat. 1515) and
section 241(a) of Public Law 102-190 (105 Stat. 1326)) of a
continuing program of cooperative research and development,
jointly funded by the United States and Israel, on the Arrow
Tactical Anti-Missile program.
(b) Program Goal.--The goal of the cooperative program is
to demonstrate the feasibility and practicality of the Arrow
system and to permit the government of Israel to make a
decision on its own initiative regarding deployment of that
system without financial participation by the United States
beyond the research and development stage.
(c) Arrow Continuing Experiments.--The Secretary of
Defense, from amounts appropriated to the Department of
Defense pursuant to section 201 for Defense-wide activities
[[Page 1238]]
and available for the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization,
shall fully fund the United States contribution to the fiscal

controls pursuant to the Guidelines and Annex of the Missile
Technology Control Regime.
(e) Sense of Congress on Expediting Test Program.--It is
the sense of Congress that, in order to expedite the test
program for the Arrow missile, the United States should seek
to initiate with the government of Israel discussions on the
agreement referred to in subsection (d)(2)(A) without waiting
for the condition specified in subsection (d)(2)(C) to be met
first.
SEC. 242. EXTENSION OF PROHIBITION ON TESTING MID-INFRARED

Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991 (10 U.S.C. 2431 note) is amended--
(1) by striking out ``Strategic Defense Initiative'' each
place it appears (other than in subsection (b)(5)) and
inserting in lieu thereof ``Ballistic Missile Defense
program'';
(2) by striking out ``Strategic Defense Initiative'' in
subsection (b)(5) and inserting in lieu thereof ``Ballistic
Missile Defense'';
(3) by striking out ``SDI'' each place it appears and
inserting in lieu thereof ``BMD''; and
(4) by striking out the section heading and inserting in
lieu thereof the following:
``SEC. 224. ANNUAL REPORT ON BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE
PROGRAM.''.
SEC. 244. CLEMENTINE SATELLITE PROGRAM.
(a) Finding.--The Congress finds that the program of the
Ballistic Missile Defense Organization within the Follow-on
programs program element that is known as the ``Clementine''
program, consisting of a satellite space project that will,
among other matters, provide valuable information about
asteroids in the vicinity of Earth, represents an important
opportunity for transfer of Department of Defense technology
for civilian purposes and should be supported.
(b) Congressional Views.--The Congress urges the Secretary
of Defense--
(1) to consider funding for the Clementine program to be a
priority within the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization
Follow-on programs program element and to provide funds for
that program at appropriate levels; and
(2) to identify an appropriate management structure within
either the Advanced Research Projects Agency or one of the
military departments to which the Clementine program and
related programs of general applicability to civilian,
commercial, and military space programs might be transferred.
SEC. 245. TACTICAL AND THEATER MISSILE DEFENSES.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Systems to provide effective defense against theater
and tactical ballistic missiles that may be developed and
deployed by the United States have the potential to make
equal or greater contributions to the national security
interests of nations that are allies of the United States as
they do to the national security interests of the United
States.
(2) The cost of developing and deploying a broad spectrum
of such systems will be several tens of billions of dollars.
(3) A truly cooperative approach to the development and
deployment of such systems could substantially reduce the
financial burden of such an undertaking to any one country
and would tap additional sources of technological expertise.
(4) While recent statements of nations that are allies of
the United States have expressed a desire for greater
involvement in United States tactical missile defense
efforts, those nations are unlikely to support programs for
theater missile defense development and deployment unless, at
a minimum, they can play a meaningful role in the planning
and execution of such programs, including active
participation in research and development and production of
the systems involved.
(5) Given the high cost of developing theater ballistic
missile defense systems, allied participation in tactical
missile defense efforts would result in substantial savings
to the United States.
(b) Plan and Reports.--(1) The Secretary of Defense shall
develop a plan to coordinate development and implementation
of Theater Missile Defense programs of the United States with
that of its allies, in order to avoid duplication of effort,
to increase interoperability, and to reduce costs. The plan
shall set forth in detail any financial, in-kind, or other
form of participation in cooperative efforts to plan,
develop, produce, and deploy theater ballistic missile
defenses for the mutual benefit of the countries involved.
(2) The Secretary shall submit to Congress a report on the
plan developed under paragraph (1). The report shall be
submitted in both classified and unclassified versions, as
appropriate, and may be submitted as a component of the next
annual Ballistic Missile Defense Organization report to
Congress.
(3) The Secretary shall include in each annual Ballistic
Missile Defense Organization report to Congress a report on
steps taken to implement the plan developed under paragraph
(1). Each such report shall set forth the status of
discussions with United States allies for the purposes stated
in that paragraph and the status of contributions by those
allies to the Theater Missile Defense Cooperation Account,
shown separately for each allied country covered by the plan.
(c) Restriction on Funds.--Of the total amount appropriated
pursuant to authorizations in this Act for theater ballistic
missile defenses programs, not more than 80 percent may be
obligated until--
(1) the report under subsection (b)(2) is submitted to
Congress; and
(2) the President certifies in writing to Congress that
each of the NATO allies, Japan, Israel, South Korea, and any
other country that the President considers appropriate have
been formally contacted concerning the matters described in
the report.
(d) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that,
whenever the United States deploys theater ballistic missile
defenses to protect another country, or the military forces
of another country, that has not provided financial or in-
kind support for development of theater ballistic missile
defenses, the United States should consider whether it is
appropriate to seek reimbursement from that country to cover
at least the incremental cost of such deployment.
(e) Requirement To Establish Annual TMD Level.--The
Congress shall establish by law for each fiscal year
(beginning with fiscal year 1995) the level of new
obligational authority (stated as a single dollar amount) for
research, development, test, and evaluation and for
procurement for theater missile defense programs of the
Department of Defense for that fiscal year.
(f) Allied Participation in TMD.--Congress encourages
greater participation by United States allies, and
particularly by those nations that would benefit most from
Theater Missile Defense systems, in cooperative Theater
Missile Defense efforts with the United States.
(g) Fund for Allied Contributions.--(1) Chapter 155 of
title 10, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end
the following new section:
``Sec. 2609. Theater Missile Defense: acceptance of
contributions from allies; Theater Missile Defense
Cooperation Account
``(a) Acceptance Authority.--The Secretary of Defense may
accept from any allied foreign government or any
international organization any contribution of money made by
such foreign government or international organization for use

investment in securities referred to in paragraph (1) shall
be deposited to the credit of the Account.
``(e) Notification of Conditions.--The Secretary of Defense
shall notify Congress of any condition imposed by the donor
on the use of any contribution accepted by the Secretary
under the authority of this section.
``(f) Annual Audit by GAO.--The Comptroller General of the
United States shall conduct an annual audit of money accepted

concerned may pay monthly transitional compensation in
accordance with this section to dependents or former
dependents of the member as specified in subsection (d).

sentence of a court-martial; or
``(B) against whom court-martial charges were preferred for
a dependent-abuse offense and who is discharged in lieu of
trial by court-martial in that case upon approval of the
member's request or application for discharge or, in the case
of an officer, for resignation.
``(2) For purposes of this section, a member of the armed
forces who is incarcerated by sentence of a court-martial
with total forfeiture of pay and allowances shall be treated
as a former member dismissed or discharged by sentence of a
court-martial.
``(c) Dependent-Abuse Offenses.--(1) For purposes of this
section, a dependent-abuse offense is conduct by an
individual while a member of the armed forces on active duty
for a period of more than 30 days--
``(A) that involves abuse of the spouse or a dependent
child of the member; and
``(B) that is a criminal offense specified in regulations
prescribed by the Secretary of Defense under paragraph (2).

regulation the criminal offenses, or categories of offenses,
under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (chapter 47 of
this title), Federal criminal law, the criminal laws of the
States and other jurisdictions of the United States, and the
laws of other nations that are to be considered to be
dependent-abuse offenses for the purposes of this section.
``(d) Recipients of Payments.--In any case of a separation
from active duty as described in subsection (b) in which the
Secretary of the military department concerned determines
that transitional compensation should be paid under this
section, the Secretary shall pay such compensation to
dependents or former dependents of the former member as
follows:
``(1) If the former member was married at the time of the
commission of the dependent-abuse offense resulting in the
separation, such compensation shall (except as otherwise
provided in this subsection) be paid to the spouse or former
spouse to whom the member was married at that time.
``(2) If there is a spouse or former spouse who (but for
subsection (g)) would be eligible for compensation under this
section and if there is a dependent child of the former
member who does not reside in the same household as that
spouse or former spouse, such compensation shall be paid to
each such dependent child of the former member who does not
reside in that household.
``(3) If there is no spouse or former spouse who is (or but
for subsection (g) would be) eligible under paragraph (1),
such compensation shall be paid to the dependent children of
the former member.
``(4) For purposes of paragraphs (2) and (3), an
individual's status as a `dependent child' shall be
determined as of the date on which the member is convicted of
the dependent-abuse offense or, in a case described in
subsection (b)(1)(B), as of the date on which the member is
discharged.
``(e) Commencement and Duration of Payment.--(1) Payment of
transitional compensation under this section shall commence
as of the date of the discontinuance of the member's pay and
allowances pursuant to the separation or sentencing of the
member.
``(2) Payment of such compensation shall terminate at the
end of the dependents' transitional period. The dependents'
transitional period is the period (A) beginning on the date
on which the member is convicted of the dependent-abuse
offense or, in a case described in subsection (b)(1)(B), on
the date on which the member is discharged, and (B) ending at
the end of the transitional period determined by the
Secretary concerned. Such transitional period may not exceed
36 months, except that if the length of the member's service
on active duty was less than 36 months, the transitional
period may not exceed the length of such service.
``(f) Amount of Payment.--(1) Payment to a spouse or former
spouse under this section for any month shall be at the rate
in effect for that month for the payment of dependency and
indemnity compensation under section 1311(a)(1) of title 38.
``(2) If a spouse or former spouse to whom compensation is
paid under this section has custody of a dependent child or
children of the member, the amount of such compensation paid
for any month shall be increased for each such dependent
child by the amount in effect for that month under section
1311(b) of title 38.
``(3) If compensation is paid under this section to a child
or children pursuant to subsection (d)(2) or (d)(3), such
compensation shall be paid in equal shares, with the amount
of such compensation for any month determined in accordance
with the rates in effect for that month under section 1313 of
title 38.
``(g) Forfeiture Provisions.--(1) If a former spouse
receiving compensation under this section remarries, the
Secretary shall terminate payment of such compensation,
effective as of the date of such marriage. The Secretary may
not renew payment of compensation under this section to such
former spouse in the event of the termination of such
subsequent marriage.
``(2) If after the separation of the former member as
described in subsection (b) the former member resides in the
same household as the spouse or former spouse, or dependent
child, to whom compensation is otherwise payable under this
section, the Secretary shall terminate payment of such
compensation, effective as of the time the former member
begins residing in such household. Compensation paid for a
period after the former member's separation, but before the
former member resides in the household, shall not be
recouped. If the former member subsequently ceases to reside
in such household before the end of the period of eligibility
for such payments, the Secretary may not resume such
payments.
``(3) In a case in which the victim of the dependent-abuse
offense resulting in the separation of the former member was
a dependent child, the Secretary concerned may not pay
compensation under this section to a spouse or former spouse
who would otherwise be eligible to receive such compensation
if the Secretary determines (under regulations prescribed
under subsection (i)) that the spouse or former spouse was an
active participant in the conduct constituting the dependent-
abuse offense.
``(h) Coordination of Benefits.--The Secretary concerned
may not make payments to a spouse or former spouse under both
this section and section 1408(h)(1) of this title. In the
case of a spouse or former spouse for whom a court order

1408(h)(1) of this title and to whom the Secretary offers
payments under this section, the spouse or former spouse
shall elect which to receive.
``(i) Regulations.--The Secretary of each military
department shall prescribe regulations to carry out this
section with respect to members of the armed forces under the
jurisdiction of that Secretary. Such regulations shall be as
uniform as practicable and shall be subject to the approval
of the Secretary of Defense.
``(j) Dependent Child Defined.--In this section, the term
`dependent child', with respect to a member or former member
of the armed forces separated as described in subsection (b),
means an unmarried child, including an adopted child or a
stepchild, who was residing with the member at the time of
the dependent-abuse offense resulting in the separation of
the former member and--
``(1) who is under 18 years of age;
``(2) who is 18 years of age or older and is incapable of
self-support because of a mental or physical incapacity that
existed before the age of 18 and who is (or was at the time
of the former member's separation) dependent on the former
member for over one-half of the child's support; or
``(3) who is 18 years of age or older but less than 23
years of age, is enrolled in a full-time course of study in
an institution of higher learning approved by the Secretary
of Defense and who is (or was at the time of the former
member's separation) dependent on the former member for over
one-half of the child's support.''.

SEC. 574. POLICY CONCERNING HOMOSEXUALITY IN THE ARMED
FORCES.
(a) Codification.--(1) Chapter 37 of title 10, United
States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following
new section:
``Sec. 654. Policy concerning homosexuality in the armed
forces
``(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
``(1) Section 8 of article I of the Constitution of the
United States commits exclusively to the Congress the powers
to raise and support armies, provide and maintain a Navy, and
make rules for the government and regulation of the land and
naval forces.
``(2) There is no constitutional right to serve in the
armed forces.
``(3) Pursuant to the powers conferred by section 8 of
article I of the Constitution of the United States, it lies
within the discretion of the Congress to establish
qualifications for and conditions of service in the armed
forces.
``(4) The primary purpose of the armed forces is to prepare
for and to prevail in combat should the need arise.
``(5) The conduct of military operations requires members
of the armed forces to make extraordinary sacrifices,
including the ultimate sacrifice, in order to provide for the
common defense.
``(6) Success in combat requires military units that are
characterized by high morale, good order and discipline, and
unit cohesion.
``(7) One of the most critical elements in combat
capability is unit cohesion, that is, the bonds of trust
among individual service members that make the combat
effectiveness of a military unit greater than the sum of the
combat effectiveness of the individual unit members.
``(8) Military life is fundamentally different from
civilian life in that--
``(A) the extraordinary responsibilities of the armed
forces, the unique conditions of military service, and the
critical role of unit cohesion, require that the military
community, while subject to civilian control, exist as a
specialized society; and
``(B) the military society is characterized by its own
laws, rules, customs, and traditions, including numerous
restrictions on personal behavior, that would not be
acceptable in civilian society.
``(9) The standards of conduct for members of the armed
forces regulate a member's life for 24 hours each day
beginning at the moment the member enters military status and
not ending until that person is discharged or otherwise
separated from the armed forces.
``(10) Those standards of conduct, including the Uniform
Code of Military Justice, apply to a member of the armed
forces at all times that the member has a military status,
whether the member is on base or off base, and whether the
member is on duty or off duty.
``(11) The pervasive application of the standards of
conduct is necessary because members of the armed forces must
be ready at all times for worldwide deployment to a combat
environment.
``(12) The worldwide deployment of United States military
forces, the international responsibilities of the United
States, and the potential for involvement of the armed forces
in actual combat routinely make it necessary for members of
the armed forces involuntarily to accept living conditions
and working conditions that are often spartan, primitive, and
characterized by forced intimacy with little or no privacy.
``(13) The prohibition against homosexual conduct is a
longstanding element of military law that continues to be
necessary in the unique circumstances of military service.
``(14) The armed forces must maintain personnel policies
that exclude persons whose presence in the armed forces would
create an unacceptable risk to the armed forces' high
standards of morale, good order and discipline, and unit
cohesion that are the essence of military capability.
``(15) The presence in the armed forces of persons who
demonstrate a propensity or intent to engage in homosexual
acts would create an unacceptable risk to the high standards
of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion that
are the essence of military capability.
``(b) Policy.--A member of the armed forces shall be
separated from the armed forces under regulations prescribed
by the Secretary of Defense if one or more of the following
findings is made and approved in accordance with procedures
set forth in such regulations:
``(1) That the member has engaged in, attempted to engage
in, or solicited another to engage in a homosexual act or
acts unless there are further findings, made and approved in
accordance with procedures set forth in such regulations,
that the member has demonstrated that--
[[Page 1255]]
``(A) such conduct is a departure from the member's usual
and customary behavior;
``(B) such conduct, under all the circumstances, is
unlikely to recur;
``(C) such conduct was not accomplished by use of force,
coercion, or intimidation;
``(D) under the particular circumstances of the case, the
member's continued presence in the armed forces is consistent
with the interests of the armed forces in proper discipline,
good order, and morale; and
``(E) the member does not have a propensity or intent to
engage in homosexual acts.
``(2) That the member has stated that he or she is a
homosexual or bisexual, or words to that effect, unless there
is a further finding, made and approved in accordance with
procedures set forth in the regulations, that the member has
demonstrated that he or she is not a person who engages in,
attempts to engage in, has a propensity to engage in, or
intends to engage in homosexual acts.
``(3) That the member has married or attempted to marry a
person known to be of the same biological sex.
``(c) Entry Standards and Documents.--(1) The Secretary of
Defense shall ensure that the standards for enlistment and
appointment of members of the armed forces reflect the
policies set forth in subsection (b).
``(2) The documents used to effectuate the enlistment or
appointment of a person as a member of the armed forces shall
set forth the provisions of subsection (b).
``(d) Required Briefings.--The briefings that members of
the armed forces receive upon entry into the armed forces and
periodically thereafter under section 937 of this title
(article 137 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice) shall
include a detailed explanation of the applicable laws and
regulations governing sexual conduct by members of the armed
forces, including the policies prescribed under subsection
(b).
``(e) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in subsection (b)
shall be construed to require that a member of the armed
forces be processed for separation from the armed forces when
a determination is made in accordance with regulations
prescribed by the Secretary of Defense that--
``(1) the member engaged in conduct or made statements for
the purpose of avoiding or terminating military service; and
``(2) separation of the member would not be in the best
interest of the armed forces.
``(f) Definitions.--In this section:
``(1) The term `homosexual' means a person, regardless of
sex, who engages in, attempts to engage in, has a propensity
to engage in, or intends to engage in homosexual acts, and
includes the terms `gay' and `lesbian'.
``(2) The term `bisexual' means a person who engages in,
attempts to engage in, has a propensity to engage in, or
intends to engage in homosexual and heterosexual acts.
``(3) The term `homosexual act' means--
``(A) any bodily contact, actively undertaken or passively
permitted, between members of the same sex for the purpose of
satisfying sexual desires; and
``(B) any bodily contact which a reasonable person would
understand to demonstrate a propensity or intent to engage in
an act described in subparagraph (A).''.
(2) The table of sections at the beginning of such chapter
is amended by adding at the end the following:
``654. Policy concerning homosexuality in the armed forces.''.
(b) Regulations.--Not later than 90 days after the date of
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall revise
Department of Defense regulations, and issue such new
regulations as may be necessary, to implement section 654 of
title 10, United States Code, as added by subsection (a).
(c) Savings Provision.--Nothing in this section or section
654 of title 10, United States Code, as added by subsection
(a) may be construed to invalidate any inquiry,
investigation, administrative action or proceeding, court-
martial, or judicial proceeding conducted before the
effective date of regulations issued by the Secretary of
Defense to implement such section 654.
(d) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the suspension of questioning concerning homosexuality
as part of the processing of individuals for accession into
the Armed Forces under the interim policy of January 29,
1993, should be continued, but the Secretary of Defense may
reinstate that questioning with such questions or such
revised questions as he considers appropriate if the
Secretary determines that it is necessary to do so in order
to effectuate the policy set forth in section 654 of title
10, United States Code, as added by subsection (a); and
(2) the Secretary of Defense should consider issuing
guidance governing the circumstances under which members of
the Armed Forces questioned about homosexuality for
administrative purposes should be afforded warnings similar
to the warnings under section 831(b) of title 10, United
States Code (article 31(b) of the Uniform Code of Military
Justice).
SEC. 575. FOREIGN LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY TEST PROGRAM.
(a) Test Program.--The Secretary of Defense shall develop
and carry out a test program for improving foreign language
proficiency in the Department of Defense through improved
management and other measures. The test program shall be
designed to evaluate the findings and recommendations of--
(1) the June 1993 inspection report of the Inspector
General of the Department of Defense on the Defense Foreign
Language Program (report numbered 93-INS-10);
(2) the report of the Sixth Quadrennial Review of Military
Compensation (August 1988); and
(3) any other recent study of the foreign language
proficiency program of the Department of Defense.
(b) Evaluation of Prior Recommendations.--The test program
shall include an evaluation of the following possible changes
to current practice identified in the reports referred to in
subsection (a):
(1) Management of linguist billets and personnel for the
active and reserve components from a Total Force perspective.
(2) Improvement of linguist training programs, both
resident and nonresident, to provide greater flexibility, to
accommodate missions other than signals intelligence, and to
improve the provision of resources for nonresident programs.
(3) Centralized responsibility within the Office of the
Secretary of Defense to provide coordinated oversight of all
foreign language issues and programs, including a centralized
process for determination, validation, and documentation of
foreign language requirements for different services and
missions.
(4) Revised policies of each of the military departments to
foster maintenance of highly perishable linguistic skills
through improved management of the careers of language-
trained personnel, including more effective use of language
skills, improved career opportunities within the linguistics
field, and specific linkage of language proficiency to
promotions.
(5) In the case language-trained members of the reserve
components--
(A) the use of additional training assemblies (ATAs) as a
means of sustaining linguistic proficiency and enhancing
retention; and
(B) the use of larger enlistment and reenlistment bonuses,
Special Duty Assignment Pay, and educational incentives.
(6) Such other management changes as the Secretary may
consider necessary.
(c) Evaluation of Adjustment in Foreign Language
Proficiency Pay.--(1) The Secretary shall include in the test
program an evaluation of adjustments in foreign language
proficiency pay for active and reserve component personnel.

pay is included in the test program as authorized by
paragraph (1), the Secretary shall submit to the committees
named in subsection (d)(2) the following information related
to proficiency pay adjustments:
(A) The response of the Secretary to the findings of the
Inspector General in the report on the Defense Foreign
Language Program referred to in subsection (a)(1),
specifically including the following matters raised in that
report:

roles, responsibilities, and funding for foreign language
programs.

(3) in the case of any National Contingency Operation with
respect to which the President has declared a national

long-term National Contingency Operation, the President shall
submit to Congress a financial plan for the operation that

designated as a National Contingency Operation that was not
anticipated and programmed for in the budget for the current
fiscal year and which is expected--

Defense in excess of $100,000,000.

incremental costs of the Department of Defense with respect
to an operation are the costs that are directly attributable

to accounts available for procurement may not be considered
to be incremental costs for purposes of this section.

(1) Since fiscal year 1985, the budget of the Department of
Defense has declined by 34 percent in real terms.
(2) During the past few years, the United States military
presence overseas has declined significantly in the following
ways:
(A) Since fiscal year 1986, the number of United States
military personnel permanently stationed overseas has
declined by almost 200,000 personnel.
(B) From fiscal year 1989 to fiscal year 1994, spending by
the United States to support the stationing of United States
military forces overseas will have declined by 36 percent.
(C) Since January 1990, the Department of Defense has
announced the closure, reduction, or transfer to standby
status of 840 United States military facilities overseas,
which is approximately a 50 percent reduction in the number
of such facilities.
(3) The United States military presence overseas will
continue to decline as a result of actions by the executive
branch and the following initiatives of the Congress:
(A) Section 1302 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 1993, which required a 40 percent reduction
by September 30, 1996, in the number of United States
military personnel permanently stationed ashore in overseas
locations.
(B) Section 1303 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 1993, which specified that no more than
100,000 United States military personnel may be permanently
stationed ashore in NATO member countries after September 30,
1996.
(C) Section 1301 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 1993, which reduced the spending proposed by
the Department of Defense for overseas basing activities
during fiscal year 1993 by $500,000,000.
(D) Sections 913 and 915 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991, which
directed the President to develop a plan to gradually reduce
the United States military force structure in East Asia.
(4) The East Asia Strategy Initiative, which was developed
in response to sections 913 and 915 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991, has
resulted in the withdrawal of 12,000 United States military
personnel from Japan and the Republic of Korea since fiscal
year 1990.
(5) In response to actions by the executive branch and the
Congress, allied countries in which United States military
personnel are stationed and alliances in which the United
States participates have agreed in the following ways to
reduce the costs incurred by the United States in basing
military forces overseas:
(A) Under the 1991 Special Measures Agreement between Japan
and the United States, Japan will pay by 1995 almost all yen-
denominated costs of stationing United States military
personnel in Japan.
(B) The Republic of Korea has agreed to pay by 1995, one-
third of the on-base costs incurred by the United States in
stationing United States military personnel in the Republic
of Korea.
(C) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has
agreed that the NATO Infrastructure Program will adapt to
support post-Cold War strategy and could pay the annual
operation and maintenance costs of facilities in Europe and
the United States that would support the reinforcement of
Europe by United States military forces and the participation
of United States military forces in peacekeeping and conflict
prevention operations.
(D) Such allied countries and alliances have agreed to more
fully share the responsibilities and burdens of providing for
mutual security and stability through steps such as the
following:
(i) The Republic of Korea has assumed the leadership role
regarding ground combat forces for the defense of the
Republic of Korea.
(ii) NATO has adopted the new mission of conducting
peacekeeping operations and is, for example, providing land,
sea, and air forces for United Nations efforts in the former
Yugoslavia.
(iii) The countries of western Europe are contributing
substantially to the development of democracy, stability, and
open market societies in eastern Europe and the former Soviet
Union.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the forward presence of United States military
personnel stationed overseas continues to be important to
United States security interests;
(2) that forward presence facilitates efforts to pursue
United States security interests on a collective basis rather
than pursuing them on a far more costly unilateral basis or
receding into isolationism;
(3) the bilateral and multilateral arrangements and
alliances in which that forward presence plays a part must be
further adapted to the security environment of the post-Cold
War period;
(4) the cost-sharing percentages for the NATO
Infrastructure Program should be reviewed with the aim of
reflecting current economic, political, and military
realities and thus reducing the United States cost-sharing
percentage; and
(5) the amounts obligated to conduct United States overseas
basing activities should decline significantly in fiscal year
1994 and in future fiscal years as--
(A) the number of United States military personnel
stationed overseas continues to decline; and
(B) the countries in which United States military personnel
are stationed and the alliances in which the United States
participates assume an increased share of United States
overseas basing costs.
(c) Reducing United States Overseas Basing Costs.--(1) In
order to achieve additional savings in overseas basing costs,
the President should--
(A) continue with the reductions in United States military
presence overseas as required by sections 1302 and 1303 of
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993;
and
(B) intensify his efforts to negotiate a more favorable
host-nation agreement with each foreign country to which this
paragraph applies under paragraph (3)(A).
(2) For purposes of paragraph (1)(B), a more favorable
host-nation agreement is an agreement under which such
foreign country--
(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 the United
States military presence; and
[[Page 1275]]
(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.
(3)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), paragraph
(1)(B) 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
Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2346 et seq.); or
(ii) a foreign country that has agreed to assume, not later
than September 30, 1996, at least 75 percent of the
nonpersonnel costs of United States military installations in
the country.
(d) Obligational Limitation.--(1) The total amount
appropriated to the Department of Defense for Military
Personnel, for Operation and Maintenance, and for military
construction (including NATO Infrastructure) that is
obligated to conduct overseas basing activities during fiscal
year 1994 may not exceed $16,915,400,000 (such amount being
the amount appropriated for such purposes for fiscal year
1993 reduced by $3,300,000,000).
(2) For purposes of this subsection, the term ``overseas
basing activities'' means the activities of the Department of
Defense for which funds are provided through appropriations
for Military Personnel, 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.
(e) Allocations of Savings.--Any amounts appropriated to
the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1994 for the
purposes covered by subsection (d)(1) that are not available
to be used for those purposes by reason of the limitation in
that subsection shall be allocated by the Secretary of
Defense for operation and maintenance and for military
construction activities of the Department of Defense at
military installations and facilities located inside the
United States.

SEC. 1045. MODIFICATION OF CERTAIN REPORT REQUIREMENTS.
(a) Biennial NATO Report.--Section 1002(d) of the
Department of Defense Authorization Act, 1985 (Public Law 98-
525; 22 U.S.C. 1928 note), is amended--
(1) by striking out ``(1) Not later than April 1, 1990, and
biennially each year thereafter'' and inserting in lieu
thereof ``Not later than April 1 of each even-numbered
year'';
(2) by redesignating subparagraphs (A) and (B) as

(b) Report on Allied Contributions.--Section 1046(e) of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1992 and
1993 (Public Law 102-190; 105 Stat. 1467; 22 U.S.C. 1928
note) is amended--
(1) by striking out ``and'' at the end of paragraph (2);
(2) by striking out the period at the end of paragraph (3)
and inserting in lieu thereof ``; and''; and
(3) by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
``(4) specifying the incremental costs to the United States
associated with the permanent stationing ashore of United
States forces in foreign nations.''.
(c) Sense of Congress.--(1) The Congress finds that the
Secretary of Defense did not submit to Congress in a timely
manner the report on allied contributions to the common
defense required under section 1003 of the National Defense
Authorization Act, 1985 (Public Law 98-525; 98 Stat. 2577),
to be submitted not later than April 1, 1993.
(2) It is the sense of Congress that the timely submission

program.
SEC. 1046. REDESIGNATION OF HANFORD ARID LANDS ECOLOGY
RESERVE.
(a) Redesignation.--The Hanford Arid Lands Ecology Reserve
in Richland, Washington, is redesignated as the ``Fitzner/
Eberhardt Arid Lands Ecology Reserve''.
(b) Legal References.--Any reference in any law,
regulation, document, record, map, or other paper of the
United States to the ecology reserve referred to in
subsection (a) is deemed to be a reference to the ``Fitzner/
Eberhardt Arid Lands Ecology Reserve''.
SEC. 1047. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING UNITED STATES POLICY
ON PLUTONIUM.
It is the sense of the Congress that the start-up or
continued operation of any plutonium separation plant
presents serious environmental hazards and increases the risk
of proliferation of weapons-usable plutonium and therefore
should be suspended until the related environmental and
proliferation concerns have been addressed and resolved.
SEC. 1048. NORTH KOREA AND THE TREATY ON THE NON-
PROLIFERATION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
(1) The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons,
to which 156 states are party, is the cornerstone of the
international nuclear nonproliferation regime.
(2) Any nonnuclear weapon state that is a party to the
Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons is
obligated to accept International Atomic Energy Agency
safeguards on all source or special fissionable material that
is within its territory, under its jurisdiction, or carried
out under its control anywhere.
(3) The International Atomic Energy Agency is permitted to
conduct inspections in a nonnuclear weapon state that is a
party to the Treaty at any site, whether or not declared by
that state, to ensure that all source or special fissionable
material in that state is under safeguards.
(4) North Korea acceded to the Treaty on the Non-
Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons as a nonnuclear weapons
state in December 1985.
(5) North Korea, after acceding to that treaty, refused
until 1992 to accept International Atomic Energy Agency
safeguards as required under the treaty.
(6) Inspections of North Korea's nuclear materials by the
International Atomic Energy Agency suggested discrepancies in
North Korea's declarations regarding special nuclear
materials.
(7) North Korea has not given a scientifically satisfactory
explanation for those discrepancies.
(8) North Korea refused to provide International Atomic
Energy Agency inspectors with full access to two sites for
the purposes of verifying its compliance with the Treaty on
the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
(9) When called upon by the International Atomic Energy
Agency to provide such full access as required by the Treaty,
North Korea announced its intention to withdraw from the
Treaty, effective after the required three months notice.
(10) After intensive negotiations with the United States,
North Korea agreed to suspend its intention to withdraw from
the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and
begin consultations with the International Atomic Energy
Agency on providing access to its suspect sites.
(b) Congressional Statements.--The Congress--
(1) notes that the continued refusal of North Korea nearly
eight years after ratification of the Treaty on the Non-
Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons to fully accept
International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards raises serious
questions regarding a possible North Korean nuclear weapons
program;
(2) notes that possession by North Korea of nuclear weapons
(A) would threaten peace and stability in Asia, (B) would
jeopardize the existing nuclear non-proliferation regime, and
(C) would undermine the goal of the United States to extend
the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons at the
1995 review conference;
(3) urges continued pressure from the President, United
States allies, and the United Nations Security Council on
North Korea to adhere to the Treaty and provide full access
to the International Atomic Energy Agency in the shortest
time possible;
(4) urges that no trade, financial, or other economic
benefits be provided to North Korea by the United States or
United States allies until North Korea has (A) provided full
access to the International Atomic Energy Agency, (B)
satisfactorily explained any dis-
[[Page 1276]]
crepancies in its declarations of bomb-grade material, and
(C) fully demonstrated that it does not have or seek a
nuclear weapons capability; and
(5) calls on the President and the international community
to take steps to strengthen the international nuclear
nonproliferation regime.
SEC. 1049. AVIATION LEADERSHIP PROGRAM.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
(1) The training of pilots from the air forces of friendly
foreign nations in the United States furthers United States
interests, promotes closer relations, and advances the
national security.
(2) Many friendly foreign nations cannot afford to
reimburse the United States for the cost of such training
provided.
(3) It is in the national interest to authorize the
Secretary of the Air Force to establish a program of pilot
training for personnel of the air forces of friendly, less
developed foreign nations.
(b) Establishment of Program.--Part III of subtitle D of
title 10, United States Code, is amended by inserting after
chapter 903 the following new chapter:
``CHAPTER 905--AVIATION LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
``Sec.
``9381. Establishment of program.
``9382. Supplies and clothing.
``9383. Allowances.
``Sec. 9381. Establishment of program
``The Secretary of the Air Force may establish and maintain
an Aviation Leadership Program which will provide
undergraduate pilot training and necessary related training
(including, but not limited to, language training and
programs to promote better awareness and understanding of the
democratic institutions and social framework of the United
States) to selected personnel of the air forces of friendly,
less-developed foreign nations.
``Sec. 9382. Supplies and clothing
``(a) The Secretary of the Air Force may, under such
conditions as the Secretary may prescribe, provide to persons
receiving training under this chapter--
``(1) transportation incident to such training;
``(2) supplies and equipment for the use of such persons
during training;
``(3) flight clothing and other special clothing required
for training; and
``(4) billeting, food, and health services.
``(b) The Secretary may authorize such expenditures from
the appropriations of the Air Force as the Secretary
considers necessary for the efficient and effective
maintenance of the Program in accordance with this chapter.
``Sec. 9383. Allowances
``The Secretary of the Air Force may pay to persons
receiving training under this chapter a living allowance at a
rate to be prescribed by the Secretary, taking into account
the amount of living allowances authorized for members of the
armed forces under similar circumstances.''.
(c) Clerical Amendment.--The table of chapters at the
beginning of subtitle D of title 10, United States Code, and
part III of such subtitle are amended by inserting after the
items relating to chapter 903 the following new item:
``905. Aviation Leadership Program..........................9381''.....
SEC. 1050. PUBLIC PURPOSE EXTENSIONS.
Section 203 of the Federal Property and Administrative
Services Act of 1949 (40 U.S.C. 484) is amended--
(1) in subsection (o) in the first sentence by inserting
``or (q)'' after ``subsection (p)''; and
(2) by adding at the end the following:
``(q)(1) Under such regulations as the Administrator, after
consultation with the Secretary of Defense, may prescribe,
the Administrator, or the Secretary of Defense in the case of
property located at a military installation closed or

and Base Closure and Realignment Act (Public Law 100-526),
the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (Public
Law 101-510), or section 2687 of title 10, United States
Code, may, in his or her discretion, assign to the Secretary
of Transportation for disposal such surplus real property,
including buildings, fixtures, and equipment situated
thereon, as is recommended by the Secretary of Transportation
as being needed for the development or operation of a port
facility.
``(2) Subject to the disapproval of the Administrator or
the Secretary of Defense within 30 days after notice by the
Secretary of Transportation of a proposed conveyance of
property for any of the purposes described in paragraph (1),
the Secretary of Transportation, through such officers or
employees of the Department of Transportation as he or she
may designate, may convey, at no consideration to the United
States, such surplus real property, including buildings,
fixtures, and equipment situated thereon, for use in the
development or operation of a port facility to any State, the
District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam,
American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, the Trust Territory of
the Pacific Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands, or any political subdivision, municipality, or
instrumentality thereof.
``(3) No transfer of property may be made under this
paragraph until the Secretary of Transportation has--
``(A) determined, after consultation with the Secretary of
Labor, that the surplus real property to be conveyed is
located in an area of serious economic disruption;
``(B) received and, after consultation with the Secretary

conveyed, and that if the property ceases to be used or
maintained for that purpose, all or any portion of the
property shall, in its then existing condition, at the option
of the United States, revert to the United States; and
``(B) contain such additional terms, reservations,
restrictions, and conditions as the Secretary of
Transportation shall by regulation require to assure use of
the property for the purposes for which it was conveyed and
to safeguard the interests of the United States.
``(5) With respect to surplus real property and related
personal property conveyed pursuant to this subsection, the
Secretary of Transportation shall--
``(A) determine and enforce compliance with the terms,
conditions, reservations, and restrictions contained in any
instrument by which such conveyance was made;
``(B) reform, correct, or amend any such instrument by the
execution of a corrective, reformative, or amendatory

``(C)(i) grant releases from any of the terms, conditions,
reservations, and restrictions contained in, and (ii) convey,
quitclaim, or release to the grantee any right or interest
reserved to the United States by, any instrument by which

of the purpose for which such property was so conveyed,
except that any such release, conveyance, or quitclaim deed
may be granted on, or made subject to, such terms and
conditions as the Secretary of Transportation considers
necessary to protect or advance the interests of the United
States.''.
SEC. 1051. INVOLVEMENT OF ARMED FORCES IN SOMALIA.
(a) Sense of Congress Regarding United States Policy Toward
Somalia.--
(1) Since United States Armed Forces made significant
contributions under Operation Restore Hope towards the
establishment of a secure environment for humanitarian relief
operations and restoration of peace in the region to end the
humanitarian disaster that had claimed more than 300,000
lives.
(2) Since the mission of United States forces in support of
the United Nations appears to be evolving from the
establishment of ``a secure environment for humanitarian
relief operations,'' as set out in United Nations Security
Council Resolution 794 of December 3, 1992, to one of
internal security and nation building.
(b) Statement of Congressional Policy.--
(1) Consultation with the congress.--The President should
consult closely with the Congress regarding United States
policy with respect to Somalia, including in particular the
deployment of United States Armed Forces in that country,
whether under United Nations or United States command.
(2) Planning.--The United States shall facilitate the
assumption of the functions of United States forces by the
United Nations.
(3) Reporting requirement.--
(A) The President shall ensure that the goals and
objectives supporting deployment of United States forces to
Somalia and a description of the mission, command
arrangements, size, functions, location, and anticipated
duration in Somalia of those forces are clearly articulated
and provided in a detailed report to the Congress by October
15, 1993.
(B) Such report shall include the status of planning to
transfer the function contained in paragraph (2).
(4) Congressional approval.--Upon reporting under the
requirements of paragraph (3) Congress believes the President
should by November 15, 1993, seek and receive congressional
authorization in order for the deployment of United States
forces to Somalia to continue.
SEC. 1052. NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
(1) The United States has been seeking to contain the
spread of nuclear weapons technology and materials.
(2) With the end of the Cold War and the breakup of the
Soviet Union, the proliferation of nuclear weapons is now a
leading military threat to the national security of the
United States and its allies.
(3) The United Nations Security Council declared on January
31, 1992, that ``proliferation of all weapons of mass
destruction constitutes a threat to international peace and
security'' and committed to taking appropriate action to
prevent proliferation from occurring.
(4) Aside from the five declared nuclear weapon states, a
number of other nations
[[Page 1277]]
have or are pursuing nuclear weapons capabilities.
(5) The IAEA is a valuable international institution to
counter proliferation, but the effectiveness of its system to
safeguard nuclear materials may be adversely affected by
financial constraints.
(6) The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty codifies world
consensus against further nuclear proliferation and is
scheduled for review and extension in 1995.
(7) The Nuclear Nonproliferation Act of 1978 declared that
the United States is committed to continued strong support
for the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to a
strengthened and more effective IAEA, and established that it
is United States policy to establish more effective controls
over the transfer of nuclear equipment, materials, and
technology.
(b) Comprehensive Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy.--In
order to end nuclear proliferation and reduce current nuclear
arsenals and supplies of weapons-usable nuclear materials, it
should be the policy of the United States to pursue a
comprehensive policy to end the further spread of nuclear
weapons capability, roll back nuclear proliferation where it
has occurred, and prevent the use of nuclear weapons anywhere
in the world, with the following additional objectives:
(1) Successful conclusion of all pending nuclear arms
control and disarmament agreements with all the republics of
the former Soviet Union and their secure implementation.
(2) Full participation by all the republics of the former
Soviet Union in all multilateral nuclear nonproliferation
efforts and acceptance of IAEA safeguards on all their
nuclear facilities.
(3) Strengthening of United States and international
support to the IAEA so that the IAEA has the technical,
financial, and political resources to verify that countries
are complying with their nonproliferation commitments.
(4) Strengthening of nuclear export controls in the United
States and other nuclear supplier nations, impose sanctions
on individuals, companies, and countries which contribute to
nuclear proliferation, and provide increased public
information on nuclear export licenses approved in the United
States.
(5) Reduction in incentives for countries to pursue the
acquisition of nuclear weapons by seeking to reduce regional
tensions and to strengthen regional security agreements, and
encourage the United Nations Security Council to increase its
role in enforcing international nuclear nonproliferation
agreements.
(6) Support for the indefinite extension of the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty at the 1995 conference to review and
extend that treaty and seek to ensure that all countries sign
the treaty or participate in a comparable international
regime for monitoring and safeguarding nuclear facilities and
materials.
(7) Reaching agreement with the Russian Federation to end
the production of new types of nuclear warheads.
(8) Pursuing, once the START I treaty and the START II
treaty are ratified by all parties, a multilateral agreement
to significantly reduce the strategic nuclear arsenals of the
United States and the Russian Federation to below the levels
of the START II treaty, with lower levels for the United
Kingdom, France, and the People's Republic of China.
(9) Reaching immediate agreement with the Russian
Federation to halt permanently the production of fissile
material for weapons purposes, and working to achieve
worldwide agreements to--
(A) end in the shortest possible time the production of
weapons-usable fissile material;
(B) place existing stockpiles of such materials under
bilateral or international controls; and
(C) require countries to place all of their nuclear
facilities dedicated to peaceful purposes under IAEA
safeguards.
(10) Strengthening IAEA safeguards to more effectively
verify that countries are complying with their
nonproliferation commitments and provide the IAEA with the
political, technical, and financial support necessary to
implement the necessary safeguard reforms.
(11) Conclusion of a multilateral comprehensive nuclear
test ban treaty.
(c) Requirements for Implementation of Policy.--(1) Not
later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this
Act, the President shall submit to the Congress a report, in
unclassified form, with a classified appendix if necessary,
on the actions the United States has taken and the actions
the United States plans to take during the succeeding 12-
month period to implement each of the policy objectives set
forth in this section.
(2) Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment
of this Act, the President shall submit to the Congress a
report in unclassified form, with a classified appendix if
necessary, which--
(A) addresses the implications of the adoption by the
United States of a policy of no-first-use of nuclear weapons;
(B) addresses the implications of an agreement with the
other nuclear weapons states to adopt such a policy; and
(C) addresses the implications of a verifiable bilateral
agreement with the Russian Federation under which both
countries withdraw from their arsenals and dismantle all
tactical nuclear weapons, and seek to extend to all nuclear
weapons states this zero option for tactical nuclear weapons.
(d) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:
(1) The term ``IAEA'' means the International Atomic Energy
Agency.
(2) The term ``IAEA safeguards'' means the safeguards set

on January 3, 1993.
SEC. 1053. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO THE PROLIFERATION OF
SPACE LAUNCH VEHICLE TECHNOLOGIES.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
(1) The United States has joined with other nations in the
Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) which restricts the
transfer of missiles or equipment or technology that could
contribute to the design, development or production of
missiles capable of delivering weapons of mass destruction.
(2) Missile technology is indistinguishable from and
interchangeable with space launch vehicle technology.
(3) Transfers of missile technology or space launch vehicle
technology cannot be safeguarded in a manner that would
provide timely warning of diversion for military purposes.
(4) It has been United States policy since agreeing to the
guidelines of the Missile Technology Control Regime to treat
the sale or transfer of space launch vehicle technology as
restrictively as the sale or transfer of missile technology.
(5) Previous congressional action on missile proliferation,
notably title XVII of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 1991 (Public Law 101-510; 104 Stat. 1738),
has explicitly supported this policy through such actions as
the statutory definition of the term ``missile'' to mean ``a
category I system as defined in the MTCR Annex, and any other
unmanned delivery system of similar capability, as well as
the specially designed production facilities for these
systems''.
(6) There is strong evidence that emerging national space
launch programs in the Third World are not economically
viable.
(7) The United States has successfully dissuaded countries
from pursuing space launch vehicle programs in part by
offering to cooperate with them in other areas of space
science and technology.
(8) The United States has successfully dissuaded other MTCR
adherents, and countries who have agreed to abide by MTCR
guidelines, from providing assistance to emerging national
space launch programs in the Third World.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Congress supports the strict interpretation by the
United States of the Missile Technology Control Regime
concerning--
(A) the inability to distinguish space launch vehicle
technology from missile technology under the regime; and
(B) the inability to safeguard space launch vehicle
technology in a manner that would provide timely warning of
its diversion to military purposes; and
(2) the United States and the governments of other nations
adhering to the Missile Technology Control Regime should be
recognized for--
(A) the success of such governments in restricting the
export of space launch vehicle technology and of missile
technology; and
(B) the significant contribution made by the imposition of
such restrictions to reducing the proliferation of missile
technology capable of being used to deliver weapons of mass
destruction.
(c) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) The term ``Missile Technology Control Regime'' or
``MTCR'' means the policy statement, between the United
States, the United Kingdom, the Federal Republic of Germany,
France, Italy, Canada, and Japan, announced on April 16,
1987, to restrict sensitive missile-relevant transfers based
on the MTCR Annex, and any amendments thereto.
(2) The term ``MTCR Annex'' means the Guidelines and
Equipment and Technology Annex of the Missile Technology
Control Regime, and any amendments thereto.
SEC. 1054. LIMITATION ON USE OF FUNDS FOR CERTAIN PLUTONIUM
STORAGE BY RUSSIA.
(a) Limitation.--None of the funds authorized to be
appropriated by this Act or any other Act for any fiscal year
may be obligated or expended for the purpose of assisting the
Ministry of Atomic Energy of Russia to construct a storage
facility for surplus
[[Page 1278]]
plutonium from dismantled weapons, unless the President
certifies to the Congress--
(1) that Russia is committed to halting the chemical
separation of weapon-grade plutonium from spent nuclear fuel;
and
(2) that Russia is taking all practical steps to halt such
separation at the earliest possible date.
(b) Sense of Congress on Plutonium Policy.--It is the sense
of the Congress that a key objective of the United States
with respect to the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons
should be to obtain a clear and unequivocal commitment from
the Government of Russia that it will cease all production
and separation of weapon-grade plutonium and halt chemical
separation of plutonium produced in civil nuclear power
reactors.
(c) Report.--Not later than June 1, 1994, the President
shall submit to the Congress a report on the status of
efforts by the United States to secure the commitments and
achieve the objectives described in subsections (a) and (b),
including the status of joint efforts by the United States
and Russia to replace any remaining Russian plutonium
production reactors with alternative power sources or to
convert such reactors to operation with alternative fuels
that would permit their operation without generating weapon-
grade plutonium.

TITLE XIV--NATIONAL COMMISSION ON ROLES AND MISSIONS OF THE ARMED
FORCES
SEC. 1401. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ``National Commission on
Roles and Missions of the Armed Forces Act''.
SEC. 1402. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The current allocation of roles and missions among the
Armed Forces evolved from the practice during World War II to
meet the Cold War threat and may no longer be appropriate for
the post-Cold War era.
(2) Many analysts believe that a realignment of those roles
and mission is essential for the efficiency and effectiveness
of the Armed Forces, particularly in light of lower budgetary
resources that will be available to the Department of Defense
in the future.
(3) The existing process of a triennial review of roles and
missions by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
pursuant to provisions of law enacted by the Goldwater-
Nichols Department of Defense Reauthorization Act of 1986 has
not produced the comprehensive review envisioned by Congress.
(4) It is difficult for any organization, and may be
particularly difficult for the Department of Defense, to
reform itself without the benefit and authority provided by
external perspectives and analysis.
SEC. 1403. ESTABLISHMENT OF COMMISSION.
(a) Establishment.--There is hereby established in the
executive branch of the Government a commission to be known
as the National Commission on Roles and Missions of the Armed
Forces (hereinafter in this title referred to as the
``Commission'').
(b) Composition and Qualifications.--
(1) The Commission shall be composed of seven members.
Members of the Commission shall be appointed by the
President.
(2) The Commission shall be appointed from among private
United States citizens with appropriate and diverse military,
organizational, and management experiences and historical
perspectives.
(3) The President shall designate one of the members as
chairman of the Commission.
[[Page 1292]]
(c) Period of Appointment; Vacancies.--Members shall be
appointed for the life of the Commission. Any vacancy in the
Commission shall not affect its powers, but shall be filled
in the same manner as the original appointment.
(d) Initial Organizational Requirements.--
(1) The President shall make all appointments to the
Commission within 45 days after the date of the enactment of
this Act.
(2) The Commission shall convene its first meeting within
30 days after the first date on which all members of the
Commission have been appointed. At that meeting, the
Commission shall develop an agenda and a schedule for
carrying out its duties.
SEC. 1404. DUTIES OF COMMISSION.
(a) In General.--Over the period of fiscal years 1994
through 1998, the Commission shall--
(1) review the efficacy and appropriateness for the post-
Cold War era of the current allocations among the Armed
Forces of roles, missions, and functions;
(2) evaluate and report on alternative assignments of those
roles, missions and functions; and
(3) make recommendations for changes in the current
definition and distribution of those roles, functions, and
missions.
(b) Review of Potential Military Operations.--The
Commission shall review the types of military operations that
may be required in the post-Cold War era, taking into account
the requirements for success in various types of operations.
As part of such review, the Commission shall take into
consideration the official strategic planning of the
Department of Defense. The types of operations to be
considered by the Commission as part of such review shall
include the following:
(1) Defense of the United States.
(2) Warfare against other national military forces.
(3) Limited military action for political effect.
(4) Action against nuclear, chemical, and biological
weapons capabilities in hostile hands.
(5) Support of law enforcement.
(6) Other types of operations as specified by the chairman
of the Commission.
(c) Definition of Broad Mission Areas and Key Support
Requirements.--As a result of the review under subsection
(b), the Commission shall define broad mission areas and key
support requirements for the United States military
establishment as a whole.
(d) Development of Conceptual Framework for Organizational
Allocations.--The Commission shall determine a conceptual
framework for the review of the organizational allocation
among the Armed Forces of military roles, missions, and
functions. In developing that framework, the Commission shall
consider--
(1) static efficiency (such as duplicative overhead and
economies of scale);
(2) dynamic effectiveness (including the benefits of
competition and the effect on innovation);
(3) interoperability, responsiveness, and other aspects of
military effectiveness in the field;
(4) gaps in mission coverage and so-called orphan missions
that are inadequately served by existing organizational
entities;
(5) division of responsibility on the battlefield;
(6) exploitation of new technology and operational
concepts;
(7) civilian control of the military;
(8) the degree of disruption that a change in roles and
missions would entail; and
(9) the experience of other nations.
The Commission shall evaluate the costs and benefits of
unifying the Armed Forces into a single military service as a
baseline for assessing the maximum benefits that may be
achieved from less sweeping reforms.
(e) Recommendations Concerning Military Roles and
Missions.--Using the conceptual framework developed under
subsection (d) to evaluate possible changes to the existing
allocation among the Armed Forces of military roles,
missions, and functions, the Commission shall recommend (1)
the functions for which each military department should
organize, train, and equip forces, (2) the missions of
combatant commands, and (3) the roles that Congress should
assign to the various military elements of the Department of
Defense.
(f) Recommendations Concerning Civilian Elements of
Department of Defense.--The Commission may address the roles,
missions, and functions of civilian portions of the
Department of Defense and other national security agencies to
the extent that changes in these areas are collateral to
changes considered in military roles, functions, and mission.
(g) Recommendations Concerning Process for Future
Changes.--The Commission shall also recommend a process for
maintaining roles, missions, and functions in congruence with
the strategic environment as it changes in the future.
SEC. 1405. REPORTS.

Congress finds that--
(1) the global proliferation of strategic and conventional
military weapons and related equipment and the technology

weapons and related equipment requires multilateral
cooperation; and
(4) as a world leader, the United States has a
responsibility to help stop such global proliferation and
guide all countries toward a safer world.

SEC. 3140. TRANSFER OR LEASE OF PROPERTY AT DEPARTMENT OF
ENERGY WEAPON PRODUCTION FACILITIES.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The termination or reconfiguration of weapon production
activities at facilities of the Department of Energy within
the United States is a necessary consequence of the end of
the Cold War and of changed United States national security
requirements.
(2) A facility of the Department of Energy is a significant
source of employment for many communities, and the closure or
reconfiguration of such a facility may cause economic
hardship for the workers and the communities.
(3) It is in the interest of the United States that the
Federal Government facilitate the economic recovery of
communities that experience adverse economic circumstances as
the result of the closure or reconfiguration of a Department
of Energy facility and, where possible, prevent the
occurrence of adverse economic circumstances.
(4) It is in the interest of the United States that the
Federal Government work with communities that experience
adverse economic circumstances as the result of the closure
or reconfiguration of Department of Energy facilities to
identify and implement means of reutilizing or redeveloping
such facilities in a beneficial manner.
(5) The Federal Government may provide such assistance by
closing or reconfiguring such facilities and conveying the
real property in a manner that best ensures environmental
protection and the beneficial reutilization or redevelopment
of such facilities by such communities.
(6) The Federal Government may best ensure such
reutilization and redevelopment by making available real and
personal property of the closing or reconfigured Department
of Energy facilities to communities affected by such closures
or reconfigurations on a timely basis, and, if appropriate,
at less than fair market value.
(7) Preservation of the national technology and industrial
base could be assisted by the appropriate transfer, lease, or
reutilization of property, facilities, and equipment which
currently are not needed for the Department of Energy weapon
production mission.
(8) A delay in the transfer, lease, or reutilization of
such property, facilities, and equipment for commercial use
will reduce the national technology and industrial base
because of lost skilled personnel and lost business
opportunities.
(b) Management and Disposal of Property.--(1) The
Administrator of General Services shall delegate to the
Secretary of Energy, with respect to property covered under
subsection (d)--
(A) the authority of the Administrator to utilize excess
property under section 202 of the Federal Property and

to the Secretary by the Administrator of General Services
shall not include the authority to prescribe general policies
and methods for utilizing excess property and disposing of
surplus property.
(c) Additional Authority To Transfer and Lease.--(1) The
Secretary of Energy may transfer or lease any or all right,
title, and interest of the United States in and to the
property referred to in subsection (d) to any public agency
if the Secretary determines that such transfer or lease will
mitigate the adverse economic consequences that might
otherwise arise from the closure or reconfiguration of a
Department of Energy facility.
(2)(A) The consideration to be paid to the United States
for any transfer or lease under paragraph (1) shall be for
the estimated fair market value of such property or leasehold
interest, as determined by the Secretary of Energy, except
that the Secretary may accept consideration for an amount
that is not less than 50 percent of the estimated fair market
value of such property if the Secretary determines that--
(i) the discount is required to implement the plans
established in the report under subsection (i); and
(ii) 30 days after published notice, no private or public
party has made a bona fide offer for such property at the
estimated fair market value.

less than the estimated fair market value under this
paragraph--
(i) shall contain a condition that all such property shall
be used and maintained for the purpose for which it was
transferred in perpetuity in accordance with the plans
described in the report under subsection (i) or, in the case
of a lease, for the term of the lease; and
(ii) may contain such additional terms, conditions,
reservations, and restrictions as the Secretary determines to
be necessary to safeguard the interests of the United States.
(C) The Secretary may--
(i) determine compliance with the terms, conditions,
reservations, and restrictions contained in any instrument by
which a transfer or lease of property is made;
(ii) reform, correct, or amend any such instrument by the
execution of a corrective, reformative, or amendatory

reservations, and restrictions contained in, and (II) convey,
quitclaim, or release to the transferee any right or interest
reserved to the United States by, any instrument by which
such transfer or lease is made, if the Secretary determines
that the property transferred no longer serves the purpose
for which it was transferred, or that such release,
conveyance, or quitclaim will not prevent accomplishment of
the purpose for which such property was so transferred.

Para. 109.24 message from the president--russia generalized system of
preferences
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 writing to inform you of my intent to add Russia to the list of
beneficiary developing countries under the Generalized System of
Preferences (GSP). The GSP program offers duty-free access to the U.S.
market and is authorized by the Trade Act of 1974.
I have carefully considered the criteria identified in sections 501
and 502 of the Trade Act of 1974. In light of these criteria, and
particularly Russia's level of development and initiation of economic
reforms, I have determined that it is appropriate to extend GSP benefits
to Russia.
This notice is submitted in accordance with section 502(a)(1) of the
Trade Act of 1974.
W.J. Clinton.
The White House, September 30, 1993.
By unanimous consent, the message, was referred to the Committee on
Ways and Means and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 103-142).
Para. 109.25 message from the president--national emergency with respect
to haiti
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:
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, 1993, 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. While sub-
[[Page 1331]]
stantial progress has been made toward restoring democracy pursuant to
United Nations Security Council Resolution 861, all necessary conditions
to that restoration have not yet been met. Multilateral sanctions have
been suspended but not terminated. Political conditions in Haiti
continue, therefore, to be of considerable concern to the United States.
For these reasons, I have determined that it is necessary to retain the
authority to apply economic sanctions to ensure the restoration and
security of the democratically elected Government of Haiti.
W.J. Clinton.
The White House, September 30, 1993.
By unanimous consent, the message, was referred to the Committee on
Foreign Affairs and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 103-143).
Para. 109.26 message from the president
A message in writing from the President of the United States was
communicated to the House by Mr. Edwin Thomas, one of his secretaries.
Para. 109.27 message from the president--restriction of u.s. persons in
weapons proliferation
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. JOHNSON of South Dakota, laid before the
House a message from the President, which was read as follows:
To the Congress of the United States:
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 hereby report to the Congress that I
have exercised my statutory authority to declare a national emergency
and to issue an Executive order, which authorizes and directs the
Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to
take such actions, including the promulgation of rules, regulations, and
amendments thereto, and to employ such powers granted to the President
by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, as may be necessary
to continue to regulate the activities of United States persons in order
to prevent their participation in activities, which could contribute to
the proliferation of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, and the
means of their delivery.
These actions are necessary in view of the danger posed to the
national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States by
the continued proliferation of nuclear, biological, and chemical
weapons, and of the means of delivering such weapons, and in view of the
need for more effective controls on activities sustaining such
proliferation. In the absence of these actions, the participation of
U.S. persons in activities contrary to U.S. nonproliferation objectives
and policies, and which may not be adequately controlled through the
exercise of the authorities conferred by the Export Administration Act
of 1979, as amended (50 U.S.C. App. 2401 et. seq.), could take place
without effective control, posing an unusual and extraordinary threat to
the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.
The countries and regions affected by this action would include those
currently identified in Supplements 4, 5, and 6 to Part 778 of Title 15
of the Code of Federal Regulations, concerning nonproliferation
controls, as well as such other countries as may be of concern from time
to time due to their involvement in the proliferation of weapons of mass
destruction, or due to the risk of their being points of diversion to
proliferation activities.
It is my intention to review the appropriateness of proposing
legislation to provide standing authority for these controls, and
thereafter to terminate the Executive order.
William J. Clinton.

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 on Friday, October 1,
1993 at 4:50 p.m. and said to contain a copy of a report on
America's shipyards, as required by section 1031 of Public
Law 102-484.
With great respect, I am,
Sincerely yours,
Donnald K. Anderson,
Clerk, House of Representatives.
Para. 110.7 american shipyards
The Clerk then read the message from the President, as follows:
To the Congress of the United States:
In accordance with the requirements of section 1031 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993 (Public Law 102-484), I
transmit herewith a report entitled ``Strengthening America's Shipyards:
A Plan for Competing in the International Market.''
The U.S. shipbuilding industry is unsurpassed in building the finest
and most complex naval vessels in the world. Now that the Cold War has
ended, these shipyards, like many other defense firms, face a new
challenge--translating their skills from the military to the commercial
market. Individual shipyards already have begun to meet this challenge.
The enclosed report describes steps that the Government is taking and
will take to assist their efforts. I look forward to working with the
Congress and the industry to ensure a successful transition to a
competitive industry in a truly competitive marketplace.
William J. Clinton.

The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MONTGOMERY, laid before the House a
communication, which was read as follows:
House of Representatives,
Washington, DC, October 5, 1993.
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 on Monday, October 4,
1993 at 3:35 p.m. and said to contain a message from the
President wherein he reports under section 8 (b) of the
Fishermen's Protective Act (Pelly Amendment) that he has
directed the development of a list of potential sanctions
against Norway.
With great respect, I am
Sincerely yours,
Donnald K. Anderson,
Clerk.
Para. 111.8 fisherman's protective act
The Clerk then read the message from the President, as follows:
To the Congress of the United States:
On August 5, 1993, the Secretary of Commerce certified that Norway's
resumption of commercial harvesting of minke whales has diminished the
effectiveness of the International Whaling Commission (IWC). The IWC
acted to continue the moratorium on all commercial whaling at its most
recent meeting last spring. Despite this action, Norway has recommenced
commercial whaling of the Northeastern Atlantic minke, noting that it
has lodged an objection to the moratorium. This letter constitutes my
report to the Congress pursuant to section 8(b) of the Fishermen's
Protective Act of 1967, as amended (Pelly Amendment) ( 22 U.S.C.
1978(a)).
The United States is deeply opposed to commercial whaling: the United
States does not engage in commercial whaling, and the United States does
not allow the import of whale meat or whale products. While some native
Alaskans engage in narrowly circumscribed subsistence whaling, this is
approved by the IWC through a quota for ``aboriginal whaling.'' The
United States also firmly supports the proposed whale sanctuary in the
Antarctic.
The United States has an equally strong commitment to science-based
international solutions to global conservation problems. The United
States recognizes that not every country agrees with our position
against commercial whaling. The issue at hand is the absence of a
credible, agreed management and monitoring regime that would ensure that
commercial whaling is kept within a science-based limit.
I believe that Norway's action is serious enough to justify sanctions
as authorized by the Pelly amendment. Therefore, I have directed that a
list of potential sanctions, including a list of Norwegian seafood
products that could be the subject of import prohibitions, be developed.
Because the primary interest of the United States in this matter is
protecting the integrity of the IWC and its conservation regime, I
believe our objectives can best be achieved by delaying the
implementation of sanctions until we have exhausted all good faith
efforts to persuade Norway to follow agreed conservation measures. It is
my sincere hope that Norway will agree to and comply with such measures
so that sanctions become unnecessary.
William J. Clinton.
The White House, October 4, 1993.
The message was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the
Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheris and ordered to be printed (H.
Doc. 103-146).
Para. 111.9 government securities

Mr. ROSTENKOWSKI moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following
concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 113):
Whereas the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation organization
was formed in 1989 in order to strengthen regional ties among
the economies of member countries of the organization by
reducing barriers to trade and investment between such
members;
Whereas the organization seeks to reduce such barriers
through economic cooperation and the coordination of policy
among such members;
Whereas the United States is a member of the organization;
Whereas trade between the United States and organization
members Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, the People's
Republic of China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, the Republic
of Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore,
Taiwan, and Thailand accounts for more than half of all
United States two-way trade;
Whereas the United States exported $218,000,000,000 of
goods and services to members of the organization in 1992, an
amount constituting 52 percent of the value of all United
States exports in that year;
[[Page 1359]]
Whereas the volume of trade between the United States and
the Asia Pacific region increased at an average annual rate
of 9.1 percent between 1980 and the present;
Whereas that rate of increase exceeds the average annual
rate of increase in trade during that period between the
United States and any other region;
Whereas it is in the interest of the United States to
expand trade between the United States and Asia Pacific
countries in order to create more export-oriented jobs for
Americans;
Whereas the United States, as a Pacific power with
significant economic and security interests in the East Asia
and Pacific regions, should be engaged actively in shaping
institutional arrangements that advance freer trade and
strengthen the multilateral trade system;
Whereas the annual ministerial meeting of the organization

technological data and products, intellectual property
rights, human resources development, and the environment; and

Para. 114.6 ukraine famine anniversary
Mr. BERMAN moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following
concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 140); as amended:
Whereas this year marks the 60th anniversary of the Ukraine
famine of 1932-1933;
Whereas, within one year, an estimated 7 million to 10
million people starved to death in Ukraine because of forced
collectivization and grain seizures from the rural population
by the Government of the Soviet Union;
Whereas Public Law 99-180 established the Commission on the
Ukraine Famine to conduct a study to expand the world's
knowledge of the famine and to provide the American public
with a better understanding of the former Soviet system by
revealing the Soviet role in the Ukraine famine;
Whereas the Commission's report to Congress confirms that
Communist dictator Joseph Stalin consciously employed the
brutal policy of forced famine to repress the Ukrainian
peasantry in order to suppress Ukrainian self-assertion;
Whereas, on February 7, 1990, the Central Committee of the
Communist Party of Ukraine acknowledged that the Ukraine
famine was artificially created by the policies of Stalin and
his closest associates;
Whereas internationally accepted principles of human rights
condemn the use of food as a political weapon;
Whereas the official observances of the Days of Sorrow and
Remembrance of the Victims of the Imposed Famine were held
for the first time this year on September 10 through 12 in
Kiev, Ukraine; and
Whereas members of the Commission on the Ukraine Famine
presented a copy of 4 volumes of their findings and
conclusions, 10 volumes of archival material, and 200 audio
cassettes of testimony from famine survivors to the
Government of Ukraine following the official observances in
Kiev: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring),
SECTION 1. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) the victims of the Soviet-engineered Ukraine famine of
1932-1933 be solemnly remembered on its 60th anniversary;
(2) this anniversary underscores the hardship and
inhumanity of life under the repressive regime of the Soviet
Union;
(3) the Congress condemns the systematic disregard for
human life, human rights, and human liberty that
characterized the policies of the Government of the Soviet
Union during the Ukraine famine of 1932-1933;
(4) the presentation of a copy of the findings and
conclusions of the Commission on the Ukraine Famine to the
Government of Ukraine, as well as the supplemental material,
will assist in the dissemination of information about the
Ukraine famine of 1932-1933, and thereby help to prevent
similar future tragedies; and
(5) the manmade Ukraine famine is a graphic illustration of
the unacceptable alternative to democracy and a free market
economy, and therefore the United States should seek to help
Ukraine and the other newly independent nations of the former
Soviet Union as they transform their societies.
SEC. 2. TRANSMITTAL OF RESOLUTION.

So the amendment was agreed to.
After some further time,
Para. 115.18 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. ARMEY:
Strike all after the enacting clause and insert the
following:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Parent and Student
Empowerment Act''.
SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.
The Congress finds that--
(1) parents must have a greater stake in their children's
schools if American education is to improve;
(2) the reforms in education prompted by the 1983 ``Nation
at Risk'' report have achieved good results in some places,
but have failed to reverse a 30-year nationwide decline in
student academic achievement scores;
(3) reform should come from the bottom up, from parents,
teachers, and business and community leaders, and not down
from Federal or State governments;
(4) the Federal Government should give States and local
communities maximum flexibility to achieve national education
goals; and
(5) reform should emphasize results, not more spending.
TITLE I--NATIONAL EDUCATION GOALS
SEC. 101. PURPOSE.
It is the purpose of this title to recognize six national
education goals.
SEC. 102. INTERPRETATION.
Nothing in this title shall be construed to authorize or
encourage Federal control over, involvement in, or regulation
of public, private, religious, or home schools, or any
curricular framework, instructional material, examination, or
assessment system during the 5-year authorization of this Act
or at any future time.
SEC. 103. NATIONAL EDUCATION GOALS.
The Congress declares that the national education goals are
the following:
(1) School readiness.--(A) By the year 2000, all children
in America will start school ready to learn.
(B) The objectives for this goal are that--
(i) all disadvantaged and disabled children will have
access to high-quality and developmentally appropriate
preschool programs that help prepare children for school;
(ii) every parent in America will be a child's first
teacher and devote time each day to helping his or her
preschool child learn, and parents will have access to the
training and support they need; and
(iii) children will receive the nutrition and health care
needed to arrive at school with healthy minds and bodies, and
the number of low-birthweight babies will be significantly
reduced through enhanced prenatal health systems.
(2) School completion.--(A) By the year 2000, the high
school graduation rate will increase to at least 90 percent.
(B) The objectives for this goal are that--
(i) the Nation must dramatically reduce its dropout rate,
and 75 percent of students who do drop out will successfully
complete a high school degree or its equivalent; and
(ii) the gap in high school graduation rates between
American students from minority backgrounds and their non-
minority counterparts will be eliminated.
(3) Student achievement and citizenship.--(A) By the year
2000, American students will leave grades 4, 8, and 12 having
demonstrated competency in challenging subject matter
including English, mathematics, science, 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, and
productive employment in our modern economy.
(B) The objectives for this goal are that--
(i) the academic performance of elementary and secondary
students will increase significantly in every quartile, and
the distribution of minority students in each level will more
closely reflect the student population as a whole;
(ii) the percentage of students who demonstrate the ability
to reason, solve problems, apply knowledge, and write and
communicate effectively will increase substantially;
(iii) all students will be involved in activities that
promote and demonstrate good citizenship, community service,
and personal responsibility;
(iv) the percentage of students who are competent in more
than one language will substantially increase; and
(v) all students will be knowledgeable about the diverse
cultural heritage of this Nation and about the world
community.
(4) Mathematics and science.--(A) By the year 2000, United
States students will be first in the world in mathematics and
science achievement.
(B) The objectives for this goal are that--
(i) math and science education will be strengthened
throughout the system, especially in the early grades;
(ii) the number of teachers with a substantive background
in mathematics and science will increase by 50 percent; and
(iii) the number of United States undergraduate and
graduate students, especially women and minorities, who
complete degrees in mathematics, science, and engineering
will increase significantly.
(5) Adult literacy and lifelong learning.--(A) By the year
2000, 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.
(B) The objectives for this goal are that--
(i) every major American business will be involved in
strengthening the connection between education and work;
(ii) all workers will have the opportunity to acquire the
knowledge and skills, from basic to highly technical, needed
to adapt to emerging new technologies, work methods, and
markets through public and private educational, vocational,
technical, workplace, or other programs;
(iii) the number of quality programs, including those at
libraries, that are designed to serve more effectively the
needs of the growing number of part-time and midcareer
students will increase substantially;
(iv) the proportion of those qualified students, especially
minorities, who enter college, who complete at least two
years, and who complete their degree programs will increase
substantially; and
(v) the proportion of college graduates who demonstrate an
advanced ability to think critically, communicate
effectively, and solve problems will increase substantially.
(6) Safe, disciplined, and drug-free schools.--(A) By the
year 2000, every school in America will be free of drugs and
violence and will offer a disciplined environment conducive
to learning.
(B) The objectives for this goal are that--
(i) every school will implement a firm and fair policy on
use, possession, and distribution of drugs and alcohol;
(ii) parents, businesses, and community organizations will
work together to ensure that the schools are a safe haven for
all children; and
(iii) every school district will develop a comprehensive K-
12 drug and alcohol prevention education program. Drug and
alcohol curriculum should be taught as an integral part of
health education. In addition, community-based teams should
be organized to provide students and teachers with needed
support.
TITLE II--SCHOOL REFORM AND PARENT EMPOWERMENT
SEC. 201. PURPOSE.
The purpose of this title is to raise the quality of

SEC. 209. PARENTAL CONSENT.
(a) Psychological Testing.--No funds under this title shall
be made available to any State educational agency, local
educational agency, or school in which psychiatric or
psychological examination, testing, or treatment, or any
project that involves surveying, analyzing, or evaluating the
personal values, attitudes, beliefs, or sexual behavior of
the student, take place, without the prior, written consent
of the student
[[Page 1374]]
(if the student is an adult or an emancipated minor), or in
the case of an unemancipated minor, without the prior,
written consent of a parent or guardian who has been first
informed of the purpose of such examination, test, treatment,
or information sought to be obtained.
(b) Privacy.--No funds under this title shall be made
available to any State educational agency, local educational
agency, or school that lacks a written policy to protect the
right of parents (or student, if the student is an adult or
an emancipated minor) to--
(1) inspect or review at any time any and all official
records directly related to such student, including all

TITLE I--NATIONAL EDUCATION GOALS
SEC. 101. PURPOSE.
The purpose of this title is to establish national
education goals.
SEC. 102. NATIONAL EDUCATION GOALS.
The Congress declares that the National Education Goals are
the following:
(1) School readiness.--(A) By the year 2000, all children
in America will start school ready to learn.
(B) The objectives for this goal are that--
(i) all children will have access to high-quality and
developmentally appropriate preschool programs that help
prepare children for school;
(ii) every parent in America will be a child's first
teacher and devote time each day to helping his or her
preschool child learn, and parents will have access to the
training and support they need; and
(iii) all children will receive the nutrition and health
care needed to arrive at school with healthy minds and
bodies, and to maintain the mental alertness necessary to be
prepared to learn, and the number of low-birthweight babies
will be significantly reduced through enhanced prenatal
health systems.
(2) School completion.--(A) By the year 2000, the high
school graduation rate will increase to at least 90 percent.
(B) The objectives for this goal are that--
(i) the Nation must dramatically reduce its dropout rate,
and 75 percent of those students who do drop out will
successfully complete a high school degree or its equivalent;
and
(ii) the gap in high school graduation rates between
American students from minority backgrounds and their non-
minority counterparts will be eliminated.
(3) Student achievement and citizenship.--(A) By the year
2000, all students will leave grades 4, 8, and 12 having
demonstrated competency over challenging subject matter
including English, mathematics, science, foreign languages,
civics and government, arts, 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, and productive
employment in our modern economy.

services personnel, principals, and parents in individual
schools and from policymakers at the local, State, tribal,
and national levels, in order for lasting improvements in
student performance to occur;
(4) simultaneous top-down and bottom-up education reform is
necessary to spur creative and innovative approaches by
individual schools to help all students achieve
internationally competitive standards;
(5) strategies must be developed by communities and States

provide all students with effective mechanisms and
appropriate paths to the workforce as well as to higher
education;

material and support, and continue the lifelong learning
process throughout the employment years of an individual, and
schools should provide information to business regarding how
the business community can assist schools in meeting the

including distance learning, can be very effective in helping
to bring all students the opportunity to learn and meet high
standards; and

TITLE IV--NATIONAL SKILL STANDARDS BOARD
SEC. 401. PURPOSE.
It is the purpose of this title to establish a National
Board to serve as a catalyst in stimulating the development
and adoption of a voluntary national system of skill
standards and certification that will serve as a cornerstone
of the national strategy to enhance workforce skills, and
that can be used, consistent with Federal civil rights laws--
(1) by the Nation, to ensure the development of a high
skills, high quality, high performance workforce, including
the most skilled front-line workforce in the world, and that
will result in increased productivity, economic growth and
American economic competitiveness;
(2) by industries, as a vehicle for informing training
providers and prospective employees of skills necessary for
employment;
(3) by employers, to assist in evaluating the skill levels
of prospective employees and to assist in the training of
current employees;
(4) by labor organizations, to enhance the employment
security of workers by providing portable credentials and
skills;
(5) by workers, to obtain certifications of their skills to
protect against dislocation, to pursue career advancement,
and to enhance their ability to reenter the workforce;
(6) by students and entry level workers, to determine the
skill levels and competencies needed to be obtained in order
to compete effectively for high wage jobs;
(7) by training providers and educators, to determine
appropriate training services to offer;
(8) by Government, to evaluate whether publicly-funded
training assists participants to meet skill standards where
they exist and thereby protect the integrity of public
expenditures;
(9) to facilitate the transition to high performance work
organizations;
(10) to increase opportunities for minorities and women,
including removing barriers to the entry of women in non-
traditional employment; and
(11) to facilitate linkages between other components of the

Para. 115.28 message from the president--military operations in somalia
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MANN, laid before the House a message
from the President, which was read as follows:
To the Congress of the United States:
In response to the request made by the House and Senate for certain
information on our military operations in Somalia, I am pleased to
forward the attached report.
In transmitting this report, I want to reiterate the points that I
made on October 6 and to the American people in remarks on October 7. We
went to Somalia on a humanitarian mission. We saved approximately a
million lives that were at risk of starvation brought on by civil war
that had degenerated into anarchy. We acted after 350,000 already had
died.
Ours was a gesture of a great nation, carried out by thousands of
American citizens, both military and civilian. We did not then, nor do
we now plan to stay in that country. The United Nations agreed to assume
our military mission and take on the additional political and
rehabilitation activities required so that the famine and anarchy do not
resume when the international presence departs.
For our part, we agreed with the United Nations to participate
militarily with a much smaller U.S. force for a period of time, to help
the United Nations create a secure environment in which it could ensure
the free flow of humanitarian relief. At the request of the United
Nations and the United
[[Page 1393]]
States, approximately 30 nations deployed over 20,000 troops as we
reduced our military presence.
With the recent tragic casualties to American forces in Somalia, the
American people want to know why we are there, what we are doing, why we
cannot come home immediately, and when we will come home. Although the
report answers those questions in detail, I want to repeat concisely my
answers:
--We went to Somalia because without us a million people would have
died. We, uniquely, were in a position to save them, and other
nations were ready to share the burden after our initial action.
--What the United States is doing there is providing, for a limited
period of time, logistics support and security so that the
humanitarian and political efforts of the United Nations, relief
organizations, and others can have a reasonable chance of success.
The United Nations, in turn, has a longer term political, security,
and relief mission designed to minimize the likelihood that famine
and anarchy will return when the United Nations leaves. The U.S.
military mission is not now nor was it ever one of ``nation
building.''
--We cannot leave immediately because the United Nations has not had
an adequate chance to replace us, nor have the Somalis had a
reasonable opportunity to end their strife. We want other nations
to assume more of the burden of international peace. To have them
do so, they must think that they can rely on our commitments when
we make them. Moreover, having been brutally attacked, were
American forces to leave now we would send a message to terrorists
and other potential adversaries around the world that they can
change our policies by killing our people. It would be open season
on Americans.
--We will, however, leave no later than March 31, 1994, except for a
few hundred support troops. That amount of time will permit the
Somali people to make progress toward political reconciliation and
allow the United States to fulfill our obligations properly,
including the return of any Americans being detained. We went there
for the right reasons and we will finish the job in the right way.
While U.S. forces are there, they will be fully protected with
appropriate American military capability.
Any Americans detained will be the subject of the most complete and
thorough efforts of which this Government is capable, with the
unrelenting goal of returning them home and returning them to health.
I want to thank all those who have expressed their support for this
approach during the last week. At difficult times such as these, when
we face international challenges, bipartisan unity among our two
branches of government is vital.
William J. Clinton.

The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MONTGOMERY, laid before the House a
communication, which was read as follows:
Washington, DC,
October 18, 1993.
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, October 15,
1993 at 4:08 p.m. and said to contain a message from the
President wherein he reports under section 8(b) of the
Fishermen's Protective Act (Pelly Amendment) concerning
Panama.
With great respect, I am,
Sincerely yours,
Donnald K. Anderson,
Clerk, House of Representatives.
(By) W. Raymond Colley,
Deputy Clerk.
Para. 118.6 yellowfin tuna--panama
The Clerk then read the message from the President, as follows:
To the Congress of the United States:
Pursuant to section 8(b) of the Fishermen's Protective Act of 1967, as
amended (22 U.S.C. 1978(b)), generally known as the Pelly Amendment, I
am notifying you that on August 18, 1993, in accordance with section
101(a) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), the Secretary of
Commerce certified to me that a ban on the importation of yellowfin tuna
and yellowfin tuna products from Panama has been in effect since
December 22, 1992. This ban is the result of a finding by the Assistant
Administrator for Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service, that
Panama's marine mammal program was not comparable to that of the United
States, as required by the MMPA.
By the terms of the MMPA, such certification is deemed to be a
certification for the purposes of the Pelly Amendment, which requires
that I consider and, at my discretion, order the prohibition of imports
into the United States of any products from the certified country to the
extent that such prohibition is sanctioned by the General Agreement on
Tariffs and Trade. The Pelly Amendment also requires that I report to
the Congress any actions taken under this subsection and, if no import
prohibitions have been ordered, the reasons for this action.
After thorough review, I have determined that additional sanctions
against Panama will not be imposed at this time. The Government of
Panama is currently engaged in developing a marine mammal program that
is comparable to that of the United States. The results of these efforts
should be evident in an anticipated annual report and request for a
finding of comparability for 1994 from Panama.
William J. Clinton,
The White House, October 15, 1993.
By unanimous consent, the message was referred to the Committee on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 103-
151).

beacon of hope for the world's refugees, displaced by war,
civil insurrection, ethnic conflict, political and religious
persecution and famine;
Whereas in crisis after crisis--in Europe, Central America,
Africa, and Asia--the field staff of the International Rescue
Committee is often the first relief support on site to ease
the suffering of refugees by stabilizing health conditions
with critically needed sanitation, health care, and medical
assistance;
Whereas the programs of the International Rescue Committee
are also concerned with
[[Page 1412]]
improving the quality of life for refugees by preparing them
for a productive future through educating children and
building new skills among adults;
Whereas often and whenever possible, programs implemented
by the International Rescue Committee are ultimately turned
over to the refugees themselves after they have been well
trained by International Rescue Committee staff and
volunteers;
Whereas the International Rescue Committee was founded in
1933 as a nonsectarian response to the increasing horrors of
Nazi Germany;
Whereas as the need for humanitarian assistance expanded,
so has the International Rescue Committee's commitment to
refugees;
Whereas throughout the world, from Bosnia to Somalia, from
Cambodia to El Salvador, the International Rescue Committee
continues to aid refugees with medical assistance, shelter,
food, and skills-training;
Whereas the International Rescue Committee also helps in
repatriation or resettlement to assist refugees in starting
their life anew;
Whereas in its sixty years of service, the International
Rescue Committee has not only provided for victims of
brutality and for those suffering from natural disasters with
services essential for survival and the means to rebuild
their lives, but also has given them reason to have renewed
optimism in the compassion and goodwill of their fellow human
beings; and
Whereas October 15, 1993, the sixtieth anniversary of the
founding of the International Rescue Committee, is an
appropriate day on which to give recognition to the
International Rescue Committee for its great humanitarian
endeavors: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives
concurring), That on the occasion of the sixtieth anniversary
of the founding of the International Rescue Committee, the
Congress hereby recognizes the International Rescue Committee
for its great humanitarian endeavors.

So the motion to recede from its disagreement to the amendment of the

The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MFUME, announced that the yeas had it.
So the motion to concur in the amendment of the Senate numbered 171
was agreed to.
On motion of Mr. SMITH of Iowa, the House receded from its

Restore the matter stricken by said amendment, amended to
read as follows:
sense of congress; requirement regarding notice
Sec. 606 (a) Purchase of American Made Equipment and
Products.--In the case of any equipment or products that may
be authorized to be purchased with financial assistance
provided under this Act, it is the sense of the Congress that
entities receiving such assistance, to the extent feasible,
purchase only American-made equipment and products.
(b) Notice to Recipients of Assistance.--In providing
financial assistance under this Act, the Head of the agency
shall provide to each recipient of the assistance a notice
describing the statement made in subsection (a) by the
Congress.
Sec. 607. (a) 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.
(b) None of the funds made available in this Act may be
used for the construction, repair (other than emergency
repair), conversion, or modernization of aircraft for the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in facilities
located outside the United States and Canada.
On motion of Mr. SMITH of Iowa, the House receded from its
disagreement to the amendment of the Senate numbered 175 and concurred
therein with the following amendment:
In lieu of the matter proposed by said amendment, insert:
Sec. 608. (a) Funds appropriated under this Act to the
Legal Services Corporation and distributed to each grantee
funded in fiscal year 1994, pursuant to the number of poor
people determined by the Bureau of the Census to be within
its geographical area, shall be distributed in the following
order:
(1) grants from the Legal Services Corporation and
contracts entered into with the Legal Services Corporation
under section 1006(a)(1) of the Legal Services Corporation
Act, as amended, shall be maintained in fiscal year 1994 at
not less than the annual level at which each grantee and
contractor was funded in fiscal year 1993 pursuant to Public
Law 102-395; and
(2) each grantee or contractor for basic field funds under
section 1006(a)(1) shall receive an increase of not less than
2.5% over its fiscal year 1993 grant level. Any additional
increase in funding for grants and contracts to basic field
programs under section 1006(a)(1) shall be awarded to
grantees and contractors funded at the lowest levels per-
poor-person (calculated for each grantee or contractor by
dividing each such grantee's or contractor's fiscal year 1993
grant level by the number of poor persons within its
geographical area under the 1990 census) so as to fund the
largest number of programs possible at an equal per-poor-
person amount; and
(3) any increase above the fiscal year 1993 level for
grants and contracts to migrant programs under section
1006(a)(1) shall be awarded on a per migrant and dependent
basis calculated by dividing each such grantee's or
contractor's fiscal year 1993 grant level by the state
migrant and dependent population, which shall be derived by
applying the state migrant and dependent population
percentage as determined by the 1992 Larson-Plascencia study
of the Tomas Rivera Center migrant enumeration project. This
percentage shall be applied to a population figure of
1,661,875 migrants and dependents. These funds shall be
distributed in the following order:
(A) forty percent to migrant grantees and contractors
funded at the lowest levels per migrant (including
dependents) so as to fund the largest number of programs
possible at an equal per migrant and dependent amount; and
(B) forty percent to migrant grantees and contractors such
that each grantee or contractor funded at a level of less
than $19.74 per migrant and dependent shall be increased by
an equal percentage of the amount by which such grantee's or
contractor's funding, including the increases under
subparagraph (A) above, falls below $19.74 per migrant and
dependent, within its State; and
(C) twenty percent on an equal migrant and dependent basis
to all migrant grantees and contractors funded below $19.74
per migrant and dependent within its State.
(b) None of the funds appropriated under this Act to the
Legal Services Corporation shall be expended for any purpose
prohibited or limited by or contrary to any of the provisions
of--
(1) section 607 of Public Law 101-515, and that, except for
the funding formula, all funds appropriated for the legal
Services Corporation shall be subject to the same terms and
conditions as set forth in section 607 of Public Law 101-515
and all references to ``1991'' in section 607 of Public Law
101-515 shall be deemed to be ``1994'' unless subparagraph
(2) or (3) applies;
(2) subparagraph 1, except that, if a Board of eleven
Directors is nominated by the President and confirmed by the
Senate, provisos 20 and 22 shall not apply to such a
confirmed Board;
(3) authorizing legislation for fiscal year 1994 for the
Legal Services Corporation that is enacted into law.
A motion to reconsider the votes whereby the foregoing motions were
agreed to was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.
Ordered, That the Clerk notify the Senate thereof.

``(2) the term `Animal Unit Month (AUM)' means the amount
of forage necessary for the sustenance of 1 cow or its
equivalent for a period of 1 month.
``(e) Increases or Decreases.--Any annual increase or
decrease in the grazing fee occurring after 1996 shall be
limited to not more than 15 percent of the fee in the
previous year.
``(f) Lands Affected.--Fees shall be charged for livestock
grazing upon or crossing the public lands and other lands
administered by the Bureau of Land Management and the

livestock management practices necessary to protect rangeland
ecosystem health shall be implemented through a documented
agreement or by decision of the authorized officer.
Determinations regarding the ecological health of ecosystems
or the actions necessary to achieve healthy ecosystems shall
be based on the standards and guidelines promulgated pursuant
to subsection (o), or monitoring, inventory, or other forage
production data acceptable to the authorized officer.
``(2) Other changes.--When the authorized officer
determines that the soil, vegetation, or other resources on
the public lands require protection because of conditions
such as drought, fire, flood, or insect infestation, or when
continued grazing use poses a significant risk of resource
damage from these factors, after consultation with, or a
reasonable attempt to consult with affected permittees or
lessees, other interested parties, and the State having lands
or responsible for managing resources within the area, the
authorized officer shall close allotments or portions of
allotments to grazing by any kind of livestock, or modify
authorized grazing use. Notices of closure and decisions
requiring modification of authorized grazing use may be
issued as final decisions effective upon issuance or on the
date specified in the decision. Such decisions shall remain
in effect pending the decision on appeal unless a stay is
granted by the office of Hearings and Appeals.
``(d) Water Rights.--Subject to valid water rights existing
on the date of enactment, no water rights shall be obtained
for grazing-related actions on public lands except in the
name of the United States.

the Secretary of the Interior to the grazing fee billings for
authorized leasing of base property to which public land
grazing preference is attached or authorized grazing of
livestock owned by persons other than the permittee or
lessee. The surcharge shall be in addition to any other fees
that may be charged for using public land forage. Surcharges
shall be paid for grazing use calculated in accordance with

under a grazing authorization.
``(f) Unauthorized Grazing Use.--
``(1) Violations.--
``(A) Violation of section 4140.1(b)(1) of title 43, Code
of Federal Regulations, constitutes unauthorized grazing use.
[[Page 1443]]

``(C) Violators shall be liable in damages to the United
States for the forage consumed by their livestock, for injury
to public lands and other property of the United States
caused by their unauthorized grazing use, and for expenses
incurred in impoundment and disposal of their livestock, and
may be subject to civil penalties or criminal sanction for
such unlawful acts.
``(2) Notice and order to remove.--
``(A) Whenever a violation has been determined to be
nonwillful and incidental, and the owner of the unauthorized
livestock is known, the authorized officer shall notify the
alleged violator that a violation has been reported, that the
violation must be corrected, and how it can be settled, based
upon the discretion of the authorized officer.
``(B) Whenever it appears that a violation exists and the
owner of the unauthorized livestock is known, written notice
of unauthorized use and order to remove livestock by a
specified date shall be served upon the alleged violator or
the agent of record, or both, by certified mail or personal
delivery. The written notice shall also allow a specified
time from receipt of notice for the alleged violator to show
that there has been no violation or to make settlement under
paragraph (3).

nor his agent is known, the authorized officer may proceed to
impound the livestock under paragraph (3).
``(3) Settlement.--
``(A) The authorized officer shall determine whether the
violation is nonwillful, willful, or repeated willful. Where
violations are repeated willful, the authorized officer shall
take action under section 4170.1-1(b) of title 43, Code of
Federal Regulations. The amount due for settlement shall
include the value of forage consumed as determined under
subparagraph (B). Settlement for willful and repeated willful
violations shall also include the full value for all damages
to the public lands and other property of the United States,
and all reasonable expenses incurred by the United States in
detecting, investigating, resolving violations, and livestock
impoundment costs.
``(B) For purposes of subparagraph (A), the value of forage
consumed shall be determined as follows:
``(i) For nonwillful violations, the value of forage
consumed as determined by the average monthly rate per AUM
for pasturing livestock on privately owned land (excluding
irrigated land) for the 17 Western States as published
annually by the Department of Agriculture. The authorized
officer may approve nonmonetary settlement of unauthorized
use when the authorized officer determines that each of the
following conditions are met:

through no fault of the livestock operator.
``(II) The forage use is insignificant.
``(III) The public lands have not been damaged.
``(IV) Nonmonetary settlement is in the best interests of
the United States.

this paragraph.
``(iv) Payment made under this paragraph does not relieve
the alleged violator of any criminal liability under Federal
or State law.
``(v) Violators shall not be authorized to make grazing use
on the public lands administered by the Bureau of Land
Management until any amount found to be due the United States
under this section has been paid. The authorized officer may
take action under section 4160.1-2 of title 43, Code of
Federal Regulations, to cancel or suspend grazing
authorizations or to deny approval of applications for
grazing use until such amounts have been paid. The proposed
decision shall include a demand for payment.
``(g) Resource Advisory Councils.--

elect their own officers. The designated Federal officer
shall attend all meetings of the council and its
subcommittees.

developments accomplished through other resources management
funds, authorized range improvement may be secured through
the use of the appropriated range improvement fund provided
for by section 401 of this Act. One-half of the available
funds shall be expended in the State and district from which
they were derived. The remaining one-half of the fund shall
be allocated, on a priority basis, by the Secretary or
designee for on-the-ground ecosystem rehabilitation,
protection and improvement.

be used for cost-effective investment in improvements that
benefit all rangeland resources, including riparian area
rehabilitation, improvement, and protection, fish and
wildlife habitat improvement or protection, soil and water
resource improvement, wild horse and burro habitat management
facilities, vegetation improvement and management and
livestock grazing management. The funds may be used for
activities including the planning, design, layout,

allotment. The permittee or lessee shall agree to provide
full funding for construction, installation, modification, or
maintenance. Such range improvement permit may be issued at
the discretion of the authorized officer.

and pipelines, shall be through cooperative range improvement
agreement to protect the public interest for multiple use of
rangeland ecosystems. The United States shall assert its
claims and exercise its rights to water developed on public
lands to benefit the public lands and resources thereon.
``(3) Where a permittee or lessee cannot make use of the
forage available for livestock and an application for nonuse
has been denied or the opportunity to make use of the
available forage is requested by the authorized officer, the
permittee or lessee shall cooperate with the temporary
authorized use of forage by another operator, when it is
authorized by the authorized officer following consultation
with the preference permittee or lessee.
``(4) A permittee or lessee shall be reasonably compensated

So the amendment was agreed to.
The following amendment, as amended, in the nature of a substitute
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 ``National Biological Survey
Act of 1993''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
(1) The Department of the Interior needs a coordinated and
comprehensive source of information about the nation's
biological resources in order to address national, regional,
and local natural resource conflicts and to avoid future
natural resource problems.
(2) Research, information, and analysis are critical to the
management of biological and natural resources on an
ecosystem basis.
(3) In recent years, the need for broader and more timely
biological information has been readily apparent in the
numerous controversies and potential economic dislocations
surrounding natural resource management.
(4) Presently, biological research, information, and
analysis are dispersed and fragmented among different bureaus
in the Department of the Interior.
(b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act to establish a
National Biological Survey to provide a national focus for
research,
[[Page 1461]]
inventorying, and monitoring of America's biological
resources on an ecosystem basis.

(D) Develop methods for the consistent and systematic
collection and analysis of data on ecosystems and their
components.
(E) Disseminate information to resource managers,
scientists, and the public.
(F) Provide technical assistance within the Department of
the Interior and to other Federal agencies, States, Tribal
governments, private organizations, and other entities with
respect to research, inventory, and monitoring of biological
resources.
(G) Establish, in cooperation with other Federal, State,
and local agencies, Tribal governments, private
organizations, and other entities, a network to assist in
collecting and maintaining data concerning the distribution,
abundance, health, and status and trends of the Nation's
biological resources.
(H) After the date that is 90 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, or such earlier date as may be
specified by the Secretary, perform functions under the
National Wetlands Inventory Project that were performed

Para. 124.17 communication from the clerk--message from the president
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mrs. UNSOELD, laid before the House a
communication, which was read as follows:
Washington, DC,
October 27, 1993.
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
Repesentatives, I have the honor to transmit a sealed
envelope received from the White House on Tuesday, October
26, 1993 at 8:00 p.m. and said to contain a message from the
President wherein he transmits the ``Government Reform and
Savings Act of 1993'', draft legislation.
With great respect, I am
Sincerely yours,
Donnald K. Anderson,
Clerk, House of Repesentatives.
Para. 124.18 government reform
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 ``Government Reform and Savings Act of 1993''. This
legislation is based on the recommendations of the National Performance
Review (NPR). Also transmitted is a section-by-section analysis.
The goal of the NPR is to provide the American people with a more
effective, efficient, and responsive government--a government that works
better and costs less. The NPR began on March 3, 1993, when I asked Vice
President Gore to conduct an intensive 6-month review of how the Federal
Government works. The Vice President organized a team of experienced
Federal employees from all corners of government to examine both
agencies and cross-cutting systems, such as budgeting, financial
management, procurement, and personnel. He spoke with employees at every
major agency and sought the views of hundreds of organizations, business
leaders, and State and local officials.
The NPR report presents numerous proposals, some of which require
legislation, some of which can be achieved through administrative
action. The legislation I am presenting today is a major step in
implementing those NPR recommendations that require action by the
Congress. I plan to include additional NPR proposals in the Fiscal Year
1995 Budget.
This legislation includes proposals that seek to: consolidate and
streamline agency operations; eliminate unnecessary programs; end
unneeded subsidies; improve financial management and debt collection;
reduce the burdens resulting from statutory reporting requirements; and
improve the dissemination of government information. They were selected
from the NPR report with the expectation that they can be considered
expeditiously by the Congress. It is my hope that these recommendations
will be passed by the Congress prior to adjournment this year.
The savings total for the legislation I am submitting today is $9
billion.
To accompany these NPR recommendations, a package of rescissions will
be sent to the Congress shortly. The Administration is also working with
the appropriate committees of jurisdiction on a major procurement reform
measure.
By implementing these recommendations, I believe we can make
fundamental changes for the better in the performance of the Federal
Government. I pledge to work with the Congress to ensure the prompt
enactment of this legislation.
William J. Clinton.
The White House, October 26, 1993.

SECTION 1. AUTHORITY TO PETITION FOR FEDERAL RECOGNITION.
(a) Consideration of Lumbee Petition.--The Act of June 7,
1956 (70 Stat. 254), shall not be construed to constitute a
bar to the consideration by the Secretary of the Interior of
a petition of a group or organization representing the Lumbee
Indians of Robeson and adjoining counties of North Carolina.
(b) Consideration of Other Petitions.--The Act of June 7,
1956, shall not be construed to constitute a bar to the
consideration by the Secretary of a petition of a group or
organization representing any Indians in Robeson or any other
county of North Carolina other than the Lumbee Indians.
(c) Recognized Groups.--The Act of June 7, 1956, shall not
be construed to operate to deny any group or organization
whose petition is approved by the Secretary on or after the
date of the enactment of this Act any of the special programs
or services provided by the United States to Indian tribes
and their members because of their status as Indians.
SEC. 2. CONSIDERATION OF PETITION REQUIRING RECOGNITION AS AN
INDIAN TRIBE.
(a) Proposed Finding.--The Assistant Secretary of the
Interior for Indian Affairs shall publish a proposed finding
with respect to the petition for Federal recognition as an
Indian tribe by the Secretary of the Interior pursuant to
part 83 of title 25, Code of Federal Regulations, submitted
by the Lumbee Regional Development Association on December
17, 1987, and subsequently supplemented, not later than 18
months after the date on which the petitioner has fully
responded to the notice of obvious deficiencies regarding
that petition.
(b) Number of Members Not a Factor.--The number of persons
listed on the membership roll contained in the petition
referred to in subsection (a) shall not be taken into account
in considering such petition except that the Assistant
Secretary may review the eligibility of individual members or
groups listed in such petition in accordance with the
provisions of part 83 of title 25, Code of Federal
Regulations.
(c) Review.--(1) If the Assistant Secretary fails to
publish the proposed finding referred to in subsection (a)
within the 18-month period referred to in such subsection,
the petitioner may treat such failure as final agency action
refusing to recognize the petitioner as an Indian tribe and
seek in federal district court a determination of whether the
petitioner should be recognized as an Indian tribe in
accordance with the criteria specified in section 83.7 of
title 25, Code of Federal Regulations.
(2) If the Assistant Secretary publishes a final decision
refusing to recognize the Indians seeking recognition under
the petition referred to in subsection (a), the petitioner
may, not later than one year after the date on which the
final decision is published, seek in Federal district court a
review of the decision, notwithstanding the availability of
other administrative remedies.
SEC. 3. CRIMINAL AND CIVIL JURISDICTION.

[[Page 1481]]
Para. 126.7 message from the president--national emergency with respect
to iran
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MONTGOMERY, 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 Iran emergency is to continue in
effect beyond November 14, 1993, to the Federal Register for
publication. Similar notices have been sent annually to the Congress and
the Federal Register since November 12, 1980. The most recent notice
appeared in the Federal Register on October 28, 1992.
The crisis between the United States and Iran that began in 1979 has
not been fully resolved. The international tribunal established to
adjudicate claims of the United States and U.S. nationals against the
Iranian government and Iranian nationals against the United States
continues to function, and normalization of commercial and diplomatic
relations between the United States and Iran has not been achieved. In
these circumstances, I have determined that it is necessary to maintain
in force the broad authorities that are needed in the process of
implementing the January 1981 agreements with Iran and in the eventual
normalization of relations with that country.
William J. Clinton.
The White House, November 1, 1993.
The message, together with the accompanying paper, was referred to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 103-
156).

Committee on House Administration,
Washington, DC, October 28, 1993.
Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
Speaker, House of Representatives, the Capitol, Washington,
DC.
Dear Mr. Speaker: Pursuant to the authority vested in the

4(d)(3), and the Subcommittee on Administrative Oversight of

States and Russian exclusive economic zones and the Donut
Hole but spawns only inside the exclusive economic zones;
Whereas fishing in the Donut Hole for the Aleutian Basin
pollock stock began only in the mid-1980's and does not
constitute a traditional high seas fishery;
Whereas the past productivity of these fishery resources
has resulted in their overuse and their subsequent dramatic
declines exemplified by the harvest of Aleutian Basin pollock
by fishermen from distant-water fishing nations which has
recently plummeted from a peak of approximately one million
four hundred thousand metric tons in 1989 to a low of
approximately ten thousand metric tons in 1992;
Whereas in an effort to prevent the commercial extinction
of the Aleutian Basin pollock stock, the Russian Federation
and the United States substantially reduced, then suspended,
domestic fisheries inside their respective exclusive economic
zones;
Whereas conservation of the fishery resources in the
exclusive economic zones has little success if similar
conservation measures are not achieved in the Donut Hole;
Whereas the United States and the Russian Federation have
made significant efforts with the distant-water fishing
nations to negotiate effective conservation and management
arrangements for the Donut Hole;
Whereas the distant-water fishing nations refused to
suspend operations until the fishery collapsed and was no
longer economically viable;
Whereas international law attempts to balance freedom of
fishing in international waters with the interests of the
coastal states in conserving and developing fish stocks
within their own exclusive economic zones and the interests
of all nations in conserving the living marine resources, but
these efforts may not succeed due to the inherent difficulty
associated with establishing effective conservation,
management, and enforcement controls in international waters;
Whereas international negotiations have not yet succeeded
in reaching a permanent means to control fishing in the Donut
Hole despite continuing attempts to resolve the issues since
the 1980's;
Whereas on April 4, 1993, at the Vancouver Summit, the
Presidents of the United States and the Russian Federation
agreed, inter alia, ``to develop bilateral fisheries
cooperation in the Bering Sea, the North Pacific, and the Sea
of Okhotsk for the purpose of preservation and reproduction
of living marine resources and of monitoring the ecosystem of
the North Pacific Ocean'';
Whereas the Congress of the United States has passed the
Central Bering Sea Fisheries Enforcement Act of 1992 (Public
Law 102-582) which denies port privileges to those vessels
that violate international agreements concerning Central
Bering Sea fishery resources;
Whereas the collaborative conservation efforts of the
United States, Russian Federation, and distant-water fishing
nations will provide enhanced fishery resources;
Whereas delegates from the People's Republic of China,
Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Republic of Poland, the
Russian Federation, and the United States signed a joint
resolution at the Fifth Conference on the Conservation and
Management of the Living Marine Resources of the Central
Bering Sea on August 14, 1992, which provided for a temporary
suspension of all commercial fishing in the Donut Hole during
1993 and 1994;
Whereas these delegations met most recently in Tokyo in
June, 1993, to negotiate a long-term management agreement for
the Donut Hole and were not able to finalize such an
agreement;
Whereas delegates from each of these nations have expressed
their consensus con-
[[Page 1485]]
cerns for the long-term conservation and management of the
fishery resources of the Donut Hole; Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) the United States should take appropriate measures to
conserve the resources of the Donut Hole;
(2) the United States should continue its pursuit of an
international agreement, consistent with its rights as a
coastal state, to ensure proper management for future
commercial viability of these natural resources;
(3) the United States, working closely with the Russian
Federation should, in accordance with international law and
through multilateral consultations or through other means,
promote effective international programs for the
implementation and enforcement of regulations of the
fisheries by those nations that fish in the Donut Hole;
(4) the United States nonetheless should be mindful of its
management responsibility in this regard and of its rights in
accordance with international law to fully utilize the stock
within its own exclusive economic zone;
(5) the United States should accept as an urgent duty the
need to conserve for future generations the Aleutian Basin
pollock stock and should carry out that duty by taking all
necessary measures, in accordance with international law; and
(6) the United States should foster further multilateral
cooperation leading to international consensus on management
of the Donut Hole resources through the fullest use of
diplomatic channels and appropriate domestic and
international law and should explore all other available
options and means for conservation and management of these
living marine resources.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HAMBURG, 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?
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HAMBURG, 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 was agreed to.
A motion to reconsider the vote whereby the rules were suspended and
said concurrent resolution was agreed to was, by unanimous consent, laid
on the table.
Ordered, That the Clerk request the concurrence of the Senate in said
concurrent resolution.
Para. 127.17 atlantic bluefin tuna
Mr. STUDDS moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following
concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 169); as amended:
Whereas Atlantic bluefin tuna are a valuable commercial and
recreational fishery of the United States;
Whereas many countries, including the United States, fish
for Atlantic bluefin tuna and other highly migratory species
in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea;
Whereas the International Commission for the Conservation
of Atlantic Tunas (hereinafter referred to as the
``Commission''), is the international entity established to
adopt recommendations and develop international agreements
for the conservation and management of Atlantic bluefin tuna
and other highly migratory species in the Atlantic Ocean and
the Mediterranean Sea;
Whereas in the last 25 years Atlantic bluefin tuna stocks
have declined from historic levels;
Whereas, for management purposes, the Commission has
adopted a working hypothesis of 2 stocks of Atlantic bluefin
tuna: a western stock found in the Atlantic Ocean west of 45
degrees west longitude (hereinafter referred to as the ``45
degree line''), and an eastern stock found in the Atlantic
Ocean east of the 45 degree line and in the Mediterranean
Sea;
Whereas the existing scientific evidence is inconclusive
with respect to the working hypothesis of 2 stocks, the
extent to which each of the hypothesized stocks migrates
across the 45 degree line is unknown, and the 45 degree line
is considered to be arbitrary;
Whereas the Commission adopted conservation and management
recommendations in 1974 to ensure the recovery and
sustainability of all Atlantic bluefin tuna throughout the
Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea;
Whereas, in recent years, the Commission has adopted
additional, more restrictive conservation and management
recommendations for Atlantic bluefin tuna, for countries that
fish for Atlantic bluefin tuna west of the 45 degree line;
Whereas the United States and other countries that are
members of the Commission and that fish west of the 45 degree
line have implemented all conservation and management
recommendations for Atlantic bluefin tuna adopted by the
Commission that apply west of the 45 degree line;
Whereas many other countries that are members of the
Commission do not comply with conservation and management
recommendations for Atlantic bluefin tuna adopted by the
Commission that apply east of the 45 degree line and in the
Mediterranean Sea;
Whereas this continuing failure to comply east of the 45
degree line and in the Mediterranean Sea by countries that
are members of the Commission will undermine the recovery of
Atlantic bluefin tuna stocks;
Whereas recent large increases in the catch of Atlantic
bluefin tuna within 100 miles east of the 45 degree line by
countries that are members of the Commission could be having
a negative impact on the recovery of Atlantic bluefin tuna
and probably do not comply with recommendations of the
Commission; and
Whereas countries that are not members of the Commission
are having a negative impact on the recovery of Atlantic
bluefin tuna stocks by fishing throughout the Atlantic Ocean
and the Mediterranean Sea without regard for conservation and
management recommendations adopted by the Commission: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) the United States and the International Commission for
the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (hereinafter referred to
as the ``Commission'') should continue to promote the
conservation and management of highly migratory species,
including Atlantic bluefin tuna, throughout the Atlantic
Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea;
(2) The United States should obtain commitments through the
Commission, from all countries that are signatories to the
International Convention for the Conservation of Atlantic
Tunas and that are not in compliance with all of the
conservation and management recommendations and agreements
for Atlantic bluefin tuna and other highly migratory species
that have been adopted by the Commission, that those
countries will immediately comply with those recommendations
and agreements;
(3) the United States should continue to encourage all
other countries that fish for Atlantic bluefin tuna or other
highly migratory species in the Atlantic Ocean or the
Mediterranean Sea to comply with the conservation and
management recommendations and agreements adopted for those
species by the Commission;
(4) if a country fishes in the Atlantic Ocean or the
Mediterranean Sea for Atlantic bluefin tuna or another highly
migratory species without complying with the conservation and
management recommendations and agreements adopted by the
Commission for that species, such fishing will be considered
by the Congress to diminish the effectiveness of an
international fishery conservation program, and as such will
be considered by the Congress to be certifiable under section
8(a)(1) of the Fishermen's Protective Act of 1967 (22 U.S.C.
1978(a)(1));
(5) the United States should encourage countries that have
significant markets for Atlantic bluefin tuna to prohibit the
importation of that species from other countries that fish
for that species without regard for the conservation and
management recommendations and agreements adopted by the
Commission;
(6) the United States should continue to explore, through
the Commission, the appropriateness of working hypotheses of
the Commission that stocks of highly migratory species in the
Atlantic Ocean can be delineated by lines of latitude or
longitude, including specifically that there are 2 stocks of
Atlantic bluefin tuna delineated by the line 45 degrees west
longitude; and
(7) the United States should seek, through the Commission,
an agreement to ensure that if the Commission uses any line
to divide the stock of Atlantic bluefin tuna for management
purposes and adopts for that stock any conservation and
management recommendation or agreement for one side of the
line that is more restrictive than the conservation and
management recommendations and agreements adopted by the
Commission for that stock for the other side of the line,
then any fishing for Atlantic bluefin tuna within 10 degrees
of the line shall be conducted in compliance with that more
restrictive recommendation or agreement.

Para. 128.4 religious freedom restoration
On motion of Mr. BROOKS, by unanimous consent, the bill (H.R. 1308) to
[[Page 1488]]
protect the free exercise of religion; together with the following
amendment of the Senate thereto, was taken from the Speaker's table:
Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Religious Freedom
Restoration Act of 1993''.
SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF PURPOSES.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) the framers of the Constitution, recognizing free
exercise of religion as an unalienable right, secured its
protection in the First Amendment to the Constitution;
(2) laws ``neutral'' toward religion may burden religious
exercise as surely as laws intended to interfere with
religious exercise;
(3) governments should not substantially burden religious
exercise without compelling justification;
(4) in Employment Division v. Smith, 494 U.S. 872 (1990)
the Supreme Court virtually eliminated the requirement that
the government justify burdens on religious exercise imposed
by laws neutral toward religion; and
(5) the compelling interest test as set forth in prior
Federal court rulings is a workable test for striking
sensible balances between religious liberty and competing
prior governmental interests.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
(1) to restore the compelling interest test as set forth in
Sherbert v. Verner, 374 U.S. 398 (1963) and Wisconsin v.
Yoder, 406 U.S. 205 (1972) and to guarantee its application
in all cases where free exercise of religion is substantially
burdened; and
(2) to provide a claim or defense to persons whose
religious exercise is substantially burdened by government.
SEC. 3. FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION PROTECTED.
(a) In General.--Government shall not substantially burden
a person's exercise of religion even if the burden results
from a rule of general applicability, except as provided in
subsection (b).
(b) Exception.--Government may substantially burden a
person's exercise of religion only if it demonstrates that
application of the burden to the person--
(1) is in furtherance of a compelling governmental
interest; and
(2) is the least restrictive means of furthering that
compelling governmental interest.
(c) Judicial Relief.--A person whose religious exercise has
been burdened in violation of this section may assert that
violation as a claim or defense in a judicial proceeding and
obtain appropriate relief against a government. Standing to
assert a claim or defense under this section shall be
governed by the general rules of standing under article III
of the Constitution.
SEC. 4. ATTORNEYS FEES.
(a) Judicial Proceedings.--Section 722 of the Revised
Statutes (42 U.S.C. 1988) is amended by inserting ``the
Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993,'' before ``or
title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964''.
(b) Administrative Proceedings.--Section 504(b)(1)(C) of
title 5, United States Code, is amended--
(1) by striking ``and'' at the end of clause (ii);
(2) by striking the semicolon at the end of clause (iii)
and inserting ``, and''; and
(3) by inserting ``(iv) the Religious Freedom Restoration
Act of 1993;'' after clause (iii).
SEC. 5. DEFINITIONS.
As used in this Act--
(1) the term ``government'' includes a branch, department,
agency, instrumentality, and official (or other person acting
under color of law) of the United States, a State, or a
subdivision of a State;
(2) the term ``State'' includes the District of Columbia,
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and each territory and
possession of the United States;
(3) the term ``demonstrates'' means meets the burdens of
going forward with the evidence and of persuasion; and
(4) the term ``exercise of religion'' means the exercise of
religion under the First Amendment to the Constitution.
SEC. 6. APPLICABILITY.
(a) In General.--This Act applies to all Federal and State
law, and the implementation of that law, whether statutory or
otherwise, and whether adopted before or after the enactment
of this Act.
(b) Rule of Construction.--Federal statutory law adopted
after the date of the enactment of this Act is subject to
this Act unless such law explicitly excludes such application
by reference to this Act.
(c) Religious Belief Unaffected.--Nothing in this Act shall
be construed to authorize any government to burden any
religious belief.
SEC. 7. ESTABLISHMENT CLAUSE UNAFFECTED.
Nothing in this Act shall be construed to affect,
interpret, or in any way address that portion of the First
Amendment prohibiting laws respecting the establishment of
religion (referred to in this section as the ``Establishment
Clause''). Granting government funding, benefits, or
exemptions, to the extent permissible under the Establishment
Clause, shall not constitute a violation of this Act. As used
in this section, the term ``granting'', used with respect to
government funding, benefits, or exemptions, does not include
the denial of government funding, benefits, or exemptions.

of the State or territory to which goods are transported in
the noncontiguous trade covered by the waiver, or its
equivalent economic measure as determined by the Secretary if
the real gross product is not available, and that the
increase shall not be considered to be a material change or
increase for purposes of subsection (a)(1)(B).

in the noncontiguous trade with Alaska shall be allowed only
to the extent the operator actually uses that increased
capacity to carry cargo in the permitted service in the
calendar year immediately following the preceding increase in
gross product. However, if an operator operating exclusively
containerized vessels in that trade on July 1, 1992, carries
an average loan factor of at least 90 percent of permitted
capacity (including the capacity, if any, both authorized and
used under the previous sentence) during 9 months of any one

and who has any interest in the application a reasonable
opportunity to submit comments on the application and on the
description of the service that would be permitted by any
waiver that is granted by the Secretary under the
application.
``(5) Decision on application.--Subject to the time
required for publication of notice and for receipt and
evaluation of comments by the Secretary, an application for a
waiver under this subsection submitted at the same time the
applicant applies for inclusion of a vessel in the Fleet
shall be granted in accordance with the level of service
determined by the Secretary under this subsection by not
later than the date on which the Secretary offers to the
applicant an operating agreement with respect to that vessel.
``(6) Change or increase in service.--Any material change
or increase in a service that is subject to a waiver under
this subsection is not authorized except to the extent the
change or increase is permitted by a waiver under subsection
(b).

provision of this section, the Secretary may, without
hearing, temporarily waive the application of subsection
(a)(1)(B) if the Secretary finds that a material change or

equipment, materials, or commodities under this section or
section 901b, to the extent the Secretary of Transportation,

commercial shipments.
``(f) The Secretary of Transportation shall participate in
negotiations relating to agreements with recipient countries
for equipment, materials, or commodities subject to this
section or section 901b to the extent the Secretary, in

equipment, materials, or commodities permit fair and
reasonable transportation services to be provided.

rates for United States-flag vessels are fair and reasonable
in compliance with section 901(b) and will achieve the policy
objectives of this Act.''.

the Secretary of Transportation shall take actions to ensure
and maintain a significant increase of government-impelled
cargo through Great Lakes ports, through administrative

Para. 129.26 messages from the president
Sundry messages in writing from the President of the United States
were communicated to the House by Mr. Edwin Thomas, one of his
secretaries.
Para. 129.27 message from the president--nafta legislation
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. BARRETT of Wisconsin, 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 legislation to implement the North
American Free Trade Agreement, an agreement vital to the national
interest and to our ability to compete in the global economy. I also am
transmitting a number of related documents required for the
implementation of NAFTA.
For decades, the United States has enjoyed a bipartisan consensus on
behalf of a free and open trading system. Administrations of both
parties have negotiated, and Congresses have approved, agreements that
lower tariffs and expand opportunities for American workers and American
firms to export their products overseas. The result has been bigger
profits and more jobs here at home.
Our commitment to more free and more fair world trade has encouraged
democracy and human rights in nations that trade with us. With the end
of the Cold War, and the growing significance of the global economy,
trade agreements that lower barriers to American exports rise in
importance.
The North American Free Trade Agreement is the first trade expansion
measure of this new era, and it is in the national interest that the
Congress vote its approval.
Not only will passage of NAFTA reduce tariff barriers to American
goods, but it also will operate in an unprecedented manner--to improve
environmental conditions on the shared border between the United States
and Mexico, to raise the wages and living standards of Mexican workers,
and to protect our workers from the effects if unexpected surges in
Mexican imports into the United States.
This pro-growth, pro-jobs, pro-exports agreement--if adopted by the
Congress--will vastly improve the status quo with regard to trade, the
environment, labor rights, and the creation and protection of American
jobs.
Without NAFTA, American business will continue to face high tariff
rates and restrictive nontariff barriers that inhibit their ability to
export to Mexico. Without NAFTA, incentives will continue to encourage
American firms to relocate their operations and take American jobs to
Mexico. Without NAFTA, we face continued degradation of the natural
environment with no strategy for clean-up. Most of all, without NAFTA,
Mexico will have every incentive to make arrangements with Europe and
Japan that operate to our disadvantage.
Today, Mexican tariffs are two and a half times greater than U.S.
tariffs. This agreement will create the world's largest tariff-free
zone, from the Canadian Arctic to the Mexican tropics--more than 370
million consumers and over $6.5 trillion of production, led by the
United States. As tariff walls come down and exports go up, the United
States will create 200,000 new jobs by 1995. American goods will enter
this
[[Page 1510]]
market at lower tariff rates than goods made by our competitors.
Mexico is a rapidly growing country with a rapidly expanding middle
class and a large pent-up demand for goods--especially American goods.
Key U.S. companies are poised to take advantage of this market of 90
million people. NAFTA ensures that Mexico's reforms will take root, and
then flower.
Moreover, NAFTA is a critical step toward building a new post-Cold
War community of free markets and free nations throughout the Western
Hemisphere. Our neighbors--not just in Mexico but throughout Latin
America--are waiting to see whether the United States will lead the way
toward a more open, hopeful, and prosperous future or will instead
hunker down behind protective, but self-defeating walls. This Nation--
and this Congress--has never turned away from the challenge of
international leadership. This is no time to start.
The North American Free Trade Agreement is accompanied by
supplemental agreements, which will help ensure that increased trade
does not come at the cost of our workers or the border environment.
Never before has a trade agreement provided for such comprehensive
arrangements to raise the living standards of workers or to improve the
environmental quality of an entire region. This makes NAFTA not only a
stimulus for economic growth, but a force for social good.
Finally, NAFTA will also provide strong incentives for cooperation on
illegal immigration and drug interdiction.
The implementing legislation for NAFTA I forward to the Congress
today completes a process that has been accomplished in the best spirit
of bipartisan teamwork. NAFTA was negotiated by two Presidents of both
parties and is supported by all living former Presidents of the United
States as well as by distinguished Americans from many walks of life--
government, civil rights, and business.
They recognize what trade expanding agreements have meant for
America's economic greatness in the past, and what this agreement will
mean for America's economic and international leadership in the years
to come. The North American Free Trade Agreement is an essential part
of the economic strategy of this country: expanding markets abroad and
providing a level playing field for American workers to compete and win
in the global economy.
America is a Nation built on hope and renewal. If the Congress honors
this tradition and approves this agreement, it will help lead our
country into the new era of prosperity and leadership that awaits us.
William J. Clinton.
The White House, November 3, 1993.
By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying
papers, was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, the Committee
on Agriculture, the Committee on Banking, Finance, and Urban Affairs,
the Committee on Energy and Commerce, the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
the Committee on Government Operations, the Committee on the Judiciary
and the Committee on Public Works and Transportation and ordered to be
printed (H. Doc. 103-159).
Para. 129.28 message from the president--nafta implementation
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. BARRETT of Wisconsin, laid before the
House a message from the President, which was read as follows:
To the Congress of the United States:
By separate message, I have transmitted to the Congress a bill to
approve and implement the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
In fulfillment of legal requirements of our trade laws, that message
also transmitted a statement of administrative action, the NAFTA itself,
and certain supporting information required by law.
Beyond the legally required documents conveyed with that message, I
want to provide you with the following important documents:
--The supplemental agreements on labor, the environment, and import
surges;
--Agreements concluded with Mexico relating to citrus products and to
sugar and sweeteners;
--The border funding agreement with Mexico;
--Letters agreeing to further negotiations to accelerate duty
reductions;
--An environmental report on the NAFTA and side agreements;
--A list of more technical letters related to NAFTA that have
previously been provided to the Congress and that are already on
file with relevant congressional committees.
These additional documents are not subject to formal congressional
approval under fast-track procedures. However, the additional agreements
provide significant benefits for the United States that will be obtained
only if the Congress approves the NAFTA. In that sense, these additional
agreements, as well as the other documents conveyed, warrant the careful
consideration of each Member of Congress. The documents I have
transmitted in these two messages constitute the entire NAFTA package.
I strongly believe that the NAFTA and the other agreements will mark a
significant step forward for our country, our economy, our environment,
and our relations with our neighbors on this continent. I urge the
Congress to seize this historic opportunity by approving the legislation
I have transmitted.
William J. Clinton.

captured by the enemy and held as prisoners of war at the
Buchenwald concentration camp in Weimar, Germany;
Whereas the captured airmen included 81 Americans, 27
Canadians, and 65 Britons, Australians, and New Zealanders;

Para. 130.34 message from the president--trade of rhinoceros and tiger
parts
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:
On September 7, 1993, the Secretary of the Interior certified that the
Peo-
[[Page 1518]]
ple's Republic of China (PRC) and Taiwan are engaging in trade of
rhinoceros and tiger parts and products that diminishes the
effectiveness of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered
Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). Five rhinoceros species and the
tiger are listed in Appendix I of CITES, which means that the species
are threatened with extinction and no trade for primarily commercial
purposes is allowed. Although recent actions by the PRC and Taiwan show
that some progress has been made in addressing their rhinoceros and
tiger trade, the record demonstrates that they still fall short of the
international conservation standards of CITES. This letter constitutes
my report to the Congress pursuant to section 8(b) of the Fisherman's
Protective Act of 1967, as amended (Pelly Amendment) (22 U.S.C.
1978(b)).
The population of the world's rhinoceros has declined 90 percent
within the last 23 years to the present level of less than 10,000
animals, and the tiger population has declined 95 percent within this
century to the present level of about 5,000. Neither the PRC nor Taiwan
has fully implemented the international standards established by CITES
for controlling the trade in these species, and the poaching of
rhinoceroses and tigers continues in their native ranges fueled in part
by the market demand in the PRC and Taiwan. These populations will
likely be extinct in the next 2 to 5 years if the trade in their parts
and products is not eliminated.
To protect the rhinoceros and tiger from extinction, all countries and
entities that currently consume their parts and products must implement
adequate legislative measures and provide for enforcement that
effectively eliminates the trade, including taking actions to comply
with the criteria set down by CITES in September 1993 and fully
cooperating with all CITES delegations. The PRC and Taiwan have made
good faith efforts to stop the trade in rhinoceros and tiger parts and
products, and have, since the announcement of Pelly certification,
undertaken some positive legislative and administrative steps in this
regard. These efforts, however, have yet to yield effective reductions
in trade.
I wish to support and build on these good faith efforts undertaken by
the PRC and Taiwan. At the same time, I would like to make clear the
U.S. position that only effective reductions in the destructive trade in
these species will prevent the rhinoceros and tiger from becoming
extinct. Accordingly, I have established an Interagency Task Force to
coordinate the provision of U.S. technical assistance to the PRC and
Taiwan to help them eliminate their illegal wildlife trade. I have also
instructed the Department of the Interior, in coordination with the
Department of State and the American Institute in Taiwan, to enter
immediately into dialogue with the PRC and Taiwan regarding specific
U.S. offers of trade and law enforcement assistance.
Actions by the PRC and Taiwan that would demonstrate their commitment
to the elimination of trade in rhinoceros and tiger parts and products
could include: at a minimum, consolidation and control of stockpiles;
formation of a permanent wildlife or conservation law enforcement unit
with specialized training; development and implementation of a
comprehensive law enforcement and education action plan; increased
enforcement penalties; prompt termination of amnesty periods for illegal
holding and commercialization; and establishment of regional law
enforcement arrangements. I would expect that in taking these actions,
the PRC and Taiwan would take account of the recommendations by the
CITES Standing Committee and other CITES subsidiary bodies. In that
regard, I am pleased to announce that the United States will participate
in a delegation to the PRC and Taiwan organized by CITES to evaluate
their progress between now and the March 1994 CITES Standing Committee
meeting.
At its last meeting, the CITES Standing Committee unanimously
recommended that parties consider implementing ``stricter domestic
measures up to and including prohibition in trade in wildlife species
now'' against the PRC and Taiwan for their trade in rhinoceros and tiger
parts and products. The United States is prepared, through close
dialogue and technical aid, to assist the PRC and Taiwan. I hope that
both will demonstrate measurable, verifiable, and substantial progress
by March 1994. Otherwise, import prohibitions will be necessary, as
recommended by the CITES Standing Committee.
William J. Clinton.

House of Representatives,
Washington, DC, November 5, 1993.
Hon. Tom Foley,
Speaker of the House, Washington, DC.
Mr. Speaker: This is to formally notify you pursuant to
Rule L of the Rules of the House that a member of my staff
has been served with a subpoena issued by the United States

Para. 131.26 message from the president--national emergency with respect
to panama
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. GREEN, 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 April 21, 1993, 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).
On April 5, 1990, President Bush 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 the President
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).
Since the last report, $400,000 has been unblocked by specific
license. Of the approximately $5.9 million remaining blocked at this
time, some $5.3 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
[[Page 1527]]
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 blocks of U.S. firms pending
the final reconciliation of accounting records involving claims and
counterclaims between the firms and the Government of Panama.
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).
William J. Clinton.

the lives of Americans.

TITLE X
SEC. 10001. CONVEYANCE OF KAHO'OLAWE ISLAND, HAWAII, TO THE
STATE OF HAWAII.
(a) Purpose.--It is timely and in the interest of the
United States to recognize and fulfill the commitments made
on behalf of the United States to the people of Hawaii and to
return to the State of Hawaii the Island of Kaho'olawe.
Kaho'olawe Island is among Hawaii's historic lands and has a
long, documented history of cultural and natural significance
to the people of Hawaii reflected, in part, in the Island's
inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places and in
the longstanding interest in the return of the Island to
State sovereignty, public access and use. Congress finds that
control, disposition, use and management of Kaho'olawe is
affected with a federal interest. It also is in the national
interest and an obligation undertaken by Congress and the
United States under this and other Acts, and in furtherance
of the purposes of Executive Order 10436 (1953), to recognize
the cultural and humanitarian value of assuring meaningful,
safe use of the Island for appropriate cultural, historical,
archaeological and educational purposes as determined by the
State of Hawaii and to provide for the clearance or removal
of unexploded ordnance and for the environmental restoration
of the Island for such purposes. Congress also finds it is in
the national interest and an essential element in the federal
government's relationship with the State of Hawaii to ensure
that the conveyance, clearance or removal of unexploded
ordnance, environmental restoration, control of access to the
Island and future of the Island be undertaken in a manner
consistent with the enhancement of that relationship, the
Department of Defense's military mission, the federal
interest and applicable provisions of law.
(b) Conveyance.--Subject to Section 10001(e) of this Act,
the United States, through the Secretary of the Navy (also,
hereinafter, ``the Secretary''), shall, notwithstanding
Section 120(h) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. 9620 (h))
convey and return, without consideration and without
conditions other than those set forth in or required by this
Act, to the State of Hawaii all right, title and interest of
the United States, except that interest set forth in Section
10001(d)(2) and Section 10001(e) of this Act, in and to that
parcel of property consisting of approximately 28,776 acres
of land known as Kaho'olawe Island, Hawaii and its
surrounding waters. Such conveyance of title shall occur no
later than 180 days from the date of enactment of this Act
and the appropriation of funds for such purposes described in
this Act.
(c) Description of Property.--The exact acreage and legal
description of the parcel of property to be conveyed under
Section 10001(b) shall be determined by a survey that is
deemed satisfactory by the State of Hawaii in consultation
with the Secretary. The cost of the survey shall be borne by
the Secretary, making use of funds provided pursuant to this
Act.
(d) Implementation.--(1) The Secretary shall carry out the
requirements of this Act following consultation with the
State of Hawaii as required by Section 10002 of this Act and
with the technical and logistical support, as needed, of the
United States Army Corps of Engineers and other federal
agencies.
(2) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, the
Secretary shall retain the control of access to the Island,
in consultation with the State of Hawaii and prior to and
following the entering into force of the Memorandum of
Understanding contained in Section 10002 of this Act, until
either clearance and restoration are completed or within no
more than 10 years after the date of enactment of this Act,
whichever comes first, and control of access is transferred
to the State of Hawaii, pursuant to such conditions.
(e) Indemnification and the control of Access.--(1) The
Navy shall retain control of the access to the Island during
the time period set forth in Section 10001(d)(2) of this Act
that it is undertaking unexploded ordnance removal and
hazardous materials removal activities required in this Act.
(2) During the time period the United States retains
control of access to the Island, the United States shall hold
harmless, defend and indemnify the State of Hawaii or its
political subdivisions from and against all claims, demands,
losses, damages, liens, liabilities, injuries, deaths,
penalties, fines, lawsuits and other proceedings, judgments,
awards and reasonable costs and expenses arising out of, or
in any manner predicated upon, the presence, release or
threatened release of any munitions, exploded or unexploded
ordnance, solid waste associated with such ordnance or
hazardous substance, pollutant or contaminant resulting from
the activities of the Department of Defense, including the
activities of the Department of the Navy and the Department
of the Army and any agent, employee, lessee, licensee,
independent contractor or other person on the property during
such time that the property was and remains under the control
of the Department of Defense, Navy, Army or other agencies of
the United States Government. Notwithstanding this subsection
or any other provision of law, response action contractors
are not included as activities of the Department of Defense
under this subsection.
The term ``response action contractor'' has the meaning
given such term in section 119(e)(2) of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of
1980 (42 U.S.C. 9619(e)(2)), except that such term includes a
person who enters into, and is carrying out, a contract to
provide at a facility (including a facility not listed on the
National Priorities List) a response action with respect to
any release or threatened release from the facility of a
hazardous substance or pollutant or contaminant, or a similar
action with respect to petroleum or its derivatives.
(3) Nothing in this Act is intended to alter or affect the
federal or state requirements of law governing liability
following the transfer of control of access to the State of
Hawaii, except that the United States shall remain liable for
and retain responsibility for any environmental restoration,
remediation, or corrective action required at the property
conveyed in paragraph (b).
SEC. 10002. COOPERATION OF FEDERAL DEPARTMENTS AND THE STATE
OF HAWAII AND TRANSFER OF CONTROL OF ACCESS.
(a)(1) Upon the request of the Secretary or the State of
Hawaii, and in accordance with existing laws and
requirements, any department or agency of the Federal
Government may provide assistance to the Secretary or the
State of Hawaii, as the case may be, in carrying out their
respective duties under this Act.
(2) Within 180 days following passage of this Act, and
notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary
shall consult with and enter into a Memorandum of
Understanding with the State of Hawaii governing the terms
and conditions of (i) access to the Island for those purposes
set forth in Sections 10001 and 10002 of this Act and any
other cultural, archeological, educational and planning
purposes provided for in this title, giving due regard to the
risk of harm to public health and the environment and safety
involved in providing such access and the need to avoid
interference with or disruption of the Navy's clearance,
removal and remediation activities; (ii) the timing,
planning, methodology and implementation of ordnance
clearance or removal and hazardous substance clearance and
other waste removal and the protection of historical,
cultural and religious sites and artifacts, provided that all
reasonable effort should be made to avoid harm to such sites
and artifacts from the detonation of unexploded ordnance,
clearance or removal of ordnance, and hazardous substance
clearance; (iii) the establishment of a two-tiered standard
of restoration and ordnance clearance, removal, restoration
and safety, taking into account the purpose for which any
geographic area will be used and the nature and purpose of
human access to such area, but assuring the protection of
human health and the environment; (iv) the means for
protecting historical, cultural and religious sites and
artifacts from intentional destruction, harm and vandalism;
(v) public participation, as appropriate, including the
opportunity for public comment and hearing; and (vi) the
means for regular interval clean-ups and removal of newly
discovered previously undetected ordnance by the Navy. Under
any such terms and conditions, the Secretary shall be assured
full and necessary access to carry out the obligations of the
Secretary arising out of the responsibilities and liabilities
of this title. Such terms and conditions shall remain in
existence until the completion of the restoration and
remediation activities required by Section 10002 of this Act
and be revised periodically by mutual consent and giving due
regard to the importance of access to the Island as the level
of clean-up, restoration and remediation moves toward
attainment. Nothing in this title is intended to diminish or
alter the rights and responsibilities of the Navy to allow
access to the Island that existed prior to the enactment of
this title.
(3) The United States, through the Secretary of the Navy,
shall transfer the control of access to the State of Hawaii
within no more than 10 years from the date of enactment of
this Act or when the activities required by this Act,
including ordnance clearance or removal activities and
environ-
[[Page 1540]]
mental remediation activities are completed, whichever comes
first.
(4) Notwithstanding the duties and obligations set forth in
this title and notwithstanding the conveyance required under
Section 10001, the State of Hawaii shall not be liable or
responsible for the conduct of any clean-up and response
actions arising from and relating to the use, environmental
clean-up and ordnance removal and remediation of Kaho'olawe
Island and its adjacent waters.
SEC. 10003. KAHO'OLAWE ISLAND CONVEYANCE, REMEDIATION, AND
ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION TRUST FUND.
(a) There is established on the books of the Treasury of
the United States a fund to be known as the ``Kaho'olawe
Island Conveyance, Remediation, and Environmental Restoration

the Treasury. The Fund shall be used for the accumulation of

State of Hawaii to carry out the provisions of Section 10002
of this Act.
(e) Amounts appropriated to the Fund shall remain available
until obligated or until the Fund is terminated.
(f) Upon payment of all incremental costs associated with

implementation by the State of (i) such long term planning
(ii) environmental restoration activities and (iii) the terms
and conditions set forth in the Memorandum of Understanding

Island and its adjacent waters. Such funds as are provided by
the Secretary for the purpose of carrying out this Section
shall be made available to the State by the Secretary from
funds made available pursuant to this Act and shall be
provided to the State of Hawaii.
(h) Funds in addition to those provided pursuant to Section
10003(g) may be provided to the State of Hawaii upon the
submission of an acceptable plan containing the elements
identified in 10003(g) of this Act and demonstrating, to the
satisfaction of the Secretary, that such funds are necessary
to the proper fulfillment of such elements and the purposes
of this Act. The Secretary shall have sole discretion to
award such additional funds, however, the award of such funds
shall not be unreasonably withheld.
SEC. 10004. ANNUAL REPORT TO CONGRESS AND RELATED DISPUTE
RESOLUTION.
(a) The Secretary shall submit annually a Report, in
detail, describing compliance with the provisions of this
Act. Such Report shall include the comments of the State of

Congress.
(b) Federal Courts shall have jurisdiction to enforce the
terms, conditions and provisions of this Act, regarding the
activities, duties, and responsibilities of the United
States, its departments, agencies and instrumentalities set
forth in this Act and occurring on the Island of Kaho'olawe
and in its adjacent waters. In any judicial review under this
Act, the United States or the State, or both, if not a party
may intervene as a matter of right. The United States, its
departments, agencies and instrumentalities shall be subject
to only such injunctive relief as may be imposed by the court
to enforce compliance with the terms of this Act and the
Memorandum of Understanding. Such compliance shall be
enforced giving due regard to the need for expeditious clean-
up under the terms and conditions of this Act.

Instant Criminal Background Check System.--Not later than 6
months after the date of enactment of this Act, the Attorney
General shall--
(1) determine the type of computer hardware and software
that will be used to operate the national instant criminal
background check system and the means by which State criminal
records systems will communicate with the national system,
which shall be based upon the Interstate Identification Index
(``III'') unless the Attorney General finds that the III will
not provide a satisfactory basis for the national instant
criminal background check system;
(2) investigate the criminal records system of each State
and determine for each State a timetable by which the State
should be able to provide criminal records on an on line
capacity basis to the national system; and

(1) General rule.--If a licensee contacts the national
instant criminal background check system with respect to a
firearm transfer, the system shall, during the contact or by
return contact without delay--

Para. 132.28 message from the president--national emergency with respect
to iran
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Ms. SLAUGHTER, 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 May 14, 1993, 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
October 1, 1993. The last report, dated May 14, 1993, covered events
through March 31, 1993.
1. There have been no amendments to the Iranian Transactions
Regulations, 31 CFR Part 560, or to the Iranian Assets Control
Regulations, 31 CFR Part 535, since the 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
Iranian Transactions Regulations.
During the reporting period, the U.S. Customs Service has continued to
effect numerous seizures of Iranian-origin merchandise, primarily
carpets, for violation of the import prohibitions of the Iranian
Transactions Regulations. Office of Foreign Assets Control and Customs
Service investigations of these violations have resulted in forfeiture
actions and the imposition of civil monetary penalties. Additional
forfeiture and civil penalty actions are under review.
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 two awards, both in favor of U.S. claimants.
Including these decisions, the total number of awards has reached 547,
of which 369 have been awards in favor of American claimants. Two
hundred twenty-two of these were awards on agreed terms, authorizing and
approving payment of settlements negotiated by the parties, and 147 were
decisions adjudicated on the merits. The Tribunal has issued 36
decisions dismissing claims on the merits and 83 decisions dismissing
claims for jurisdictional reasons. Of the 59 remaining awards, 3
approved the withdrawal of cases and 56 were in favor of Iranian
claimants. As of September 30, 1993, the value of awards to successful
American claimants from the Security Account held by the NV Settlement
Bank stood at $2,351,986,709.40.
The Security Account has fallen below the required balance of $500
million almost 50 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 aggregate amount that has been
transferred from the Interest Account to the Security Account is
$874,472,986.47. Iran has also replenished the 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. Iran
has not, however, replenished the account since the last oil sale
deposit on October 8, 1992, although the balance fell below $500 million
on November 5, 1992. As of September 28, 1993, the total amount in the
Security Account was $213,507,574.15 and the total amount in the
Interest Account was $5,647,476.98.
Iran also failed to make scheduled payments for Tribunal expenses on
April 13 and July 15, 1993. The United States filed a new case
(designated A/28) before the Tribunal on September 29, 1993, asking that
the Tribunal order Iran to make its payment for Tribunal expenses and to
replenish the Security Account.
4. The Department of State continues to present other United States
Government claims against Iran, in coordination with concerned
Government agencies, and to respond to claims brought against the
United States by Iran. In June and August of this year, the United
States filed 2 briefs and more than 350 volumes of supporting evidence
in Case B/1 (claims 1 and 2), Iran's claim against the United States
for damages relating to the U.S. Foreign Military Sales Program. On
September 29, the United States submitted a brief for filing in all
three Chambers of the Tribunal concerning the Tribunal's jurisdiction
over the claims of dual nationals who have demonstrated dominant and
effective U.S. nationality. In addition, the Tribunal issued an order
accepting the U.S. view that Iran has to support all aspects of its
claim in Case A/11, in which Iran claims the United States has breached
its obligations under the Algiers Accords, rather than to ask the
Tribunal to first decide ``interpretative issues'' separate from the
merits of its case. In another case, the Tribunal declined Iran's
request that it stay a case against Iran in U.S. courts for an alleged
post-January 1981 expropriation, where the plaintiffs' case at the
Tribunal had been dismissed.
5. As reported in November 1992, Jose Maria Ruda, President of the
Tribunal, tendered his resignation on October 2, 1992. No successor has
yet been named. Judge Ruda's resignation will take effect as soon as a
successor becomes available to take up his duties.
6. As anticipated by the May 13, 1990, agreement settling the claims
of U.S. nationals for less than $250,000.00, the Foreign Claims
Settlement Commission (FCSC) has continued its review of 3,112 claims.
The FCSC has issued decisions in 1,568 claims, for total awards of more
than $28 million. The FCSC expects to complete its adjudication of the
remaining claims in early 1994.
7. 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 Iranian Assets Control
Regulations 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 Iranian Transactions Regulations issued pursuant to
Executive Order No. 12613 continue to advance important objectives in
combatting international terrorism. I shall con-
[[Page 1551]]
tinue to exercise the powers at my disposal to deal with these problems
and will continue to report periodically to the Congress on significant
developments.

SEC. 234. COMPLIANCE OF BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEMS AND
COMPONENTS WITH ABM TREATY.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Section 232(a)(1) of the Missile Defense Act of 1991
(10 U.S.C. 2431 note) establishes a goal for the United
States to comply with the ABM Treaty (including any protocol
or amendment thereto) and not develop, test, or deploy any
ballistic missile defense system, or component thereof, in
violation of that treaty (as modified by any protocol or
amendment thereto) while deploying an anti-ballistic missile
system capable of providing a highly effective defense of the
United States against limited attacks of ballistic missiles.
(2) The Department of Defense has conducted no formal
compliance review of any of the components or systems
scheduled for early deployment as part of either the Theater
Missile Defense Initiative or the initial limited defense
system to be located at Grand Forks, North Dakota.
(3) The Department of Defense is continuing to obligate
hundreds of millions of dollars for the development and
testing of systems or components of ballistic missile defense
systems before a determination has been made that, if
successfully developed, tested, or deployed, those systems
and components would be in compliance with the ABM Treaty.
(4) The President requested the authorization and
appropriation of additional funds for continued development
of such systems and components during fiscal year 1994.
(5) The United States and its allies face existing and
expanding threats from ballistic missiles capable of being
used as theater weapon systems that are presently possessed
by, being developed by, or being acquired by a number of
countries, including Iraq, Iran, and North Korea.
(6) Some theater ballistic missiles presently deployed or
being developed (such as the Chinese-made CSS-2) have
capabilities equal to or greater than the capabilities of
missiles which were determined to be strategic missiles more
than 20 years ago under the SALT I Interim Agreement of 1972
entered into between the United States and the Soviet Union.
(7) The ABM Treaty was not intended to, and does not, apply
to or limit research, development, testing, or deployment of
missile defense systems, system upgrades, or system
components that are designed to counter modern theater
ballistic missiles, regardless of the capabilities of such
missiles, unless those systems, system upgrades, or system
components are tested against or have demonstrated
capabilities to counter modern strategic ballistic missiles.
(8) It is a national security priority of the United States
to develop and deploy highly effective theater missile
defense systems capable of countering the existing and
expanding threats posed by modern theater ballistic missiles
as soon as is technically possible.
(9) It is essential that the Secretary of Defense
immediately undertake and complete a review for compliance
with the ABM Treaty of proposed theater missile defense
systems, system upgrades, and system components so as to not
delay the development and deployment of such highly effective
theater missile defense systems.
(b) Required Compliance Review.--(1) The Secretary of
Defense shall review the current baseline configuration of
each system or system upgrade specified in paragraph (2), and
the system components, to determine whether the development,
testing, or deployment
[[Page 1574]]
of that system or system upgrade would be in compliance with
the ABM Treaty, including the interpretation of the Treaty
set forth in the enclosure to the July 13, 1993, ACDA letter.
(2) The systems and system upgrades to be reviewed pursuant
to paragraph (1) are the following:
(A) The Patriot Multimode Missile.
(B) The Extended Range Interceptor (ERINT).
(C) The Ground-Based Radar for theater missile defenses
(GBR-T).
(D) The Theater High Altitude Area Defense interceptor
missile (THAAD).
(E) The Brilliant Eyes space-based sensor system.
(F) Upgrades to the AEGIS/SPY radar system of the Navy.
(G) Upgrades to the Standard Missile-2 (SM-2) interceptor
of the Navy.
(3) If during the course of the compliance review under
paragraph (1) (or any other such compliance review of a
ballistic missile system or system upgrade), an issue arises
that appears to indicate that a provision of the ABM Treaty
may limit research, development, testing, or deployment by
the United States of highly effective theater missile defense
systems capable of countering modern theater ballistic
missiles, the Secretary of Defense shall immediately submit
to the appropriate congressional committees a report on that
issue.
(c) Report.--(1) For each system and system upgrade
specified in paragraph (2) of subsection (b), the Secretary
shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a
report on the results of the review required by that
subsection. A report may include the results of the reviews
of more than one system and system upgrade. For any system or
system upgrade determined not to be in compliance with the
ABM Treaty, the Secretary shall indicate (A) what changes to
the ABM Treaty would be required for the system to be deemed
compliant with such modified ABM Treaty, and (B) what changes
to the performance capability of the system or system upgrade
would be required in order for it to become compliant with
the existing Treaty, together with the effect of those
performance capability changes on the effectiveness of the
planned missile defense architecture.
(2) With regard to the Brilliant Eyes space-based sensor
system, the Secretary shall include in the report findings on
each of the following issues:
(A) Whether the current baseline configuration of the
Brilliant Eyes space-based sensor system would comply with
the ABM Treaty if the system were used in conjunction with
the planned ground-based radar system and its ground-based
interceptors at Grand Forks, North Dakota.
(B) If not, whether design changes or operational changes
can be made to the Brilliant Eyes space-based sensor system
that--
(i) will result in the sensor system, when employed in
conjunction with the planned ground-based radar system and
its ground-based interceptors, being in compliance with the
ABM Treaty; and
(ii) will not prevent the sensor system from performing its
strategic defense missions with a high degree of
effectiveness.
(C) If not, whether the Brilliant Eyes space-based sensor
system can be made, through design changes or operational
changes, for use only with theater missile defense systems
and be in compliance with the ABM Treaty.
(D) If so, the extent to which deployment of the Brilliant
Eyes space-based sensor system would enhance the capability
of upper-tier theater defense systems and lower-tier theater
defense systems, respectively.
(d) Limitations on Funding Pending Submission of Report.--
(1) Not more than 50 percent of the funds reported pursuant
to section 231(e) to be allocated for fiscal year 1994 for a
system or system upgrade specified in subsection (b)(2) may
be obligated for that system or system upgrade, or any of its
components, until the Secretary completes the compliance
review of such system or system upgrade required by
subsection (b) and submits to the appropriate congressional
committees the report on the results of the compliance review
of that system or system upgrade as required by subsection
(c).
(2) Funds appropriated to the Department of Defense for
fiscal year 1994, or otherwise made available to the
Department of Defense from any funds appropriated for fiscal
year 1994 or for any fiscal year before 1994, may not be
obligated or expended--

(including long lead materials, components, piece parts, or
test equipment, or any modified space launch vehicle)
required or to be used for the development or testing of
anti-ballistic missile systems or components, except for
material or equipment required for development or testing
consistent with the interpretation of the ABM Treaty set
forth in the enclosure to the July 13, 1993, ACDA letter.
(e) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) The term ``July 13, 1993, ACDA letter'' means the
letter dated July 13, 1993, from the Acting Director of the

SEC. 240. TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS TO ANNUAL REPORT REQUIREMENT
TO REFLECT CREATION OF BALLISTIC MISSILE
DEFENSE ORGANIZATION.
Section 224 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991 (10 U.S.C. 2431 note) is amended--
(1) by striking out ``Strategic Defense Initiative'' each
place it appears (other than in subsection (b)(5)) and
inserting in lieu thereof ``Ballistic Missile Defense
program'';
(2) by striking out ``Strategic Defense Initiative'' in
subsection (b)(5) and inserting in lieu thereof ``Ballistic
Missile Defense'';
(3) by striking out ``SDI'' each place it appears and
inserting in lieu thereof ``BMD''; and
(4) by striking out the section heading and inserting in
lieu thereof the following:
``SEC. 224. ANNUAL REPORT ON BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE
PROGRAM.''.
SEC. 241. CLEMENTINE SATELLITE PROGRAM.
(a) Finding.--The Congress finds that the program of the
Ballistic Missile Defense Organization that is known as the
``Clementine'' program, consisting of a satellite space
project that will, among other matters, provide valuable
information about asteroids in the vicinity of Earth,
represents an important opportunity for transfer of
Department of Defense technology for civilian purposes and
should be supported.
(b) Congressional Views.--The Congress urges the Secretary
of Defense--
(1) to identify an appropriate management structure within
either the Advanced Research Projects Agency or one of the
military departments to which the Clementine program and
related programs of general applicability to civilian,
commercial, and military space programs might be transferred;
and
(2) to consider funding for the Clementine program to be a
priority within whatever agency or department is identified
as described in paragraph (1) and to provide funds for that
program at an appropriate level.
SEC. 242. COOPERATION OF UNITED STATES ALLIES ON DEVELOPMENT
OF TACTICAL AND THEATER MISSILE DEFENSES.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Systems to provide effective defense against theater
and tactical ballistic missiles that may be developed and
deployed by the United States have the potential to make
contributions to the national security interests of nations
that are allies of the United States that would be equal to
or greater than the contributions such systems would make to
the national security interests of the United States.
(2) The cost of developing and deploying a broad spectrum
of such systems will be several tens of billions of dollars.
(3) A truly cooperative multinational approach to the
development and deployment of such systems could
substantially reduce the financial burden of such an
undertaking on any one country and would involve additional
sources of technological expertise.
(4) While leaders of nations that are allies of the United
States have stated an interest in becoming involved, or
increasing involvement, in United States tactical missile
defense programs, the governments of those nations are
unlikely to support programs for theater missile defense
development and deployment unless, at a minimum, they can
participate in meaningful ways in the planning and execution
of such programs, including active participation in research
and development and production of the systems involved.
(5) Given the high cost of developing theater ballistic
missile defense systems, the participation of United States
allies in the efforts to develop tactical missile defenses
would result in substantial savings to the United States.
(b) Plan and Reports.--(1) The Secretary of Defense shall
develop a plan to coordinate development and implementation
of Theater Missile Defense programs of the United States with
theater missile defense programs of United States allies,
with the goal of avoiding duplication of effort, increasing
interoperability, and reducing costs. The plan shall set
forth in detail any financial, in-kind, or other form of
participation by each nation in cooperative efforts to plan,
develop, produce, and deploy theater ballistic missile
defenses for the mutual benefit of the countries involved.
(2) The Secretary shall submit to Congress a report on the
plan developed under paragraph (1). The report shall be
submitted in both classified and unclassified versions, as
appropriate, and may be submitted as a component of the next
Theater Missile Defense Initiative report to Congress.
(3) The Secretary shall include in each annual Theater
Missile Defense Initiative report to Congress a report on
actions taken to implement the plan developed under paragraph
(1). Each such report shall set forth the status of
discussions between the United States and United States
allies for the purposes stated in that paragraph and shall
state the status of contributions by those allies to the
Theater Missile Defense Cooperation Account, shown separately
for each allied country covered by the plan.
(c) Restriction on Funds.--Of the total amount appropriated
pursuant to authorizations in this Act for theater ballistic
missile defense programs, not more than 80 percent may be
obligated until--
(1) the report under subsection (b)(2) is submitted to
Congress; and
(2) the President certifies in writing to Congress that
representatives of the United States have formally submitted
to each of the member nations of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization and to Japan, Israel, and South Korea a proposal
concerning the matters described in the report.
The President may submit with such certification a report of
similar formal contacts with any other country that the
President considers appropriate.
(d) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
whenever the United States deploys theater ballistic missile
defenses to protect another country, or the military forces
of another country, that has not provided financial or in-
kind support for development of theater ballistic missile
defenses, the United States should consider whether it is
appropriate to seek reimbursement from that country to cover
at least the incremental cost to the United States of such
deployment.
(e) Allied Participation in TMD Programs.--Congress
encourages allies of the United States, and particularly
those allies that would benefit most from deployment of
Theater Missile Defense systems, to participate in, or to
increase participation in, cooperative Theater Missile
Defense programs of the United States. Congress also
encourages participation by the United States in cooperative
theater missile defense efforts of allied nations as such
programs emerge.
(f) Fund for Allied Contributions.--(1) Chapter 155 of
title 10, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end
the following new section:
``Sec. 2609. Theater Missile Defense: acceptance of
contributions from allies; Theater Missile Defense
Cooperation Account
``(a) Acceptance Authority.--The Secretary of Defense may
accept from any allied foreign government or any
international organization any contribution of money made by
such foreign government or international organization for use
by the Department of Defense for Theater Missile Defense
programs.
``(b) Establishment of Theater Missile Defense Cooperation
Account.--(1) There is established in the Treasury a special
account to be known as the `Theater Missile Defense
Cooperation Account'.
``(2) Contributions accepted by the Secretary of Defense
under subsection (a) shall be credited to the Account.
``(c) Use of the Account.--Funds in the Account are hereby
made available for obligation for research, development,
test, and evaluation, and for procurement, for Theater
Missile Defense programs of the Department of Defense.

Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Treasury may
invest money in the Account in securities of the United
States or in securities guaranteed as to principal and
interest by the United States.
``(2) Any interest or other income that accrues from
investment in securities referred to in paragraph (1) shall
be deposited to the credit of the Account.
``(e) Notification of Conditions.--The Secretary of Defense
shall notify Congress of any condition imposed by the donor
on the use of any contribution accepted by the Secretary
under the authority of this section.
``(f) Annual Audit by GAO.--The Comptroller General of the
United States shall conduct an annual audit of money accepted
by the Secretary of Defense under this section and shall
submit a copy of the results of each such audit to Congress.
``(g) Regulations.--The Secretary of Defense shall
prescribe regulations to carry out this section.''.
(2) The table of sections at the beginning of such chapter
is amended by adding at the end the following new item:
``2609. Theater Missile Defense: acceptance of contributions from
allies; Theater Missile Defense Cooperation Account.''.
SEC. 243. TRANSFER OF FOLLOW-ON TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMS.

(1) The depot-level maintenance and repair activities of
the Department of Defense provide the Armed Forces with a
critical capacity to respond to the needs of the Armed Forces
for depot-level maintenance and repair of weapon systems and
equipment.
(2) The depot-level maintenance and repair activities of
the Department of Defense provide the Department with
capabilities that are uniquely suited to responding to the
increased need for repair and maintenance of weapon systems

may not contract for the performance by non-Federal
Government personnel of more than 40 percent of the depot-

activities of the Department of Defense.

that, in order to maintain the critical depot-level

of such compensation for any month determined in accordance

If a former spouse receiving compensation under this section

section to such former spouse in the event of the termination
of such subsequent marriage.

household as the spouse or former spouse, or dependent child,
to whom compensation is otherwise payable under this section,
the Secretary shall terminate payment of such compensation,
effective as of the time the former member begins residing in
such household. Compensation paid for a period after the
former member's separation, but before the former member
resides in the household, shall not be recouped. If the
former member subsequently ceases to reside in such household
before the end of the period of eligibility for such
payments, the Secretary may not resume such payments.
``(3) In a case in which the victim of the dependent-abuse
offense resulting in a punitive or other adverse action
described in subsection (b) was a dependent child, the
Secretary concerned may not pay compensation under this
section to a spouse or former spouse who would otherwise be
eligible to receive such compensation if the Secretary

(j)) that the spouse or former spouse was an active
participant in the conduct constituting the dependent-abuse
offense.
``(h) Effect of Continuation of Military Pay.--In the case
of payment of transitional compensation by reason of a total
forfeiture of pay and allowances pursuant to a sentence of a
court-martial, payment of transitional compensation shall not
be made for any period for which an order--
``(1) suspends, in whole or in part, that part of a
sentence that includes forfeiture of the member's pay and
allowance; or
``(2) otherwise results in continuation, in whole or in
part, of the member's pay and allowances.
``(i) Coordination of Benefits.--The Secretary concerned
may not make payments to a spouse or former spouse under both
this section and section 1408(h)(1) of this title. In the
case of a spouse or former spouse for whom a court order
provides for payments by the Secretary pursuant to section
1408(h)(1) of this title and to whom the Secretary offers
payments under this section, the spouse or former spouse
shall elect which to receive.

spect to the Coast Guard when it is not operating as a

this title), Federal criminal law, the criminal laws of the
States and other jurisdictions of the United States, and the
laws of other nations that are to be considered to be
dependent-abuse offenses for the purposes of this section.
``(k) Dependent Child Defined.--In this section, the term
`dependent child', with respect to a member or former member
of the armed forces referred to in subsection (b), means an
unmarried child, including an adopted child or a stepchild,
who was residing with the member at the time of the
dependent-abuse offense resulting in the separation of the
former member and--
``(1) who is under 18 years of age;
``(2) who is 18 years of age or older and is incapable of
self-support because of a mental or physical incapacity that
existed before the age of 18 and who is (or, at the time a
punitive or other adverse action was executed in the case of
the former member as described in subsection (b), was)
dependent on the former member for over one-half of the
child's support; or
``(3) who is 18 years of age or older but less than 23
years of age, is enrolled in a full-time course of study in
an institution of higher learning approved by the Secretary
of Defense and who is (or, at the time a punitive or other
adverse action was executed in the case of the former member
as described in subsection (b), was) dependent on the former
member for over one-half of the child's support.''.

eligibility of that member to receive retired pay if
executed, the eligibility of that member to receive retired
pay may, as determined by the Secretary concerned, be
considered terminated effective upon the approval of that
sentence by the person acting under section 860(c) of this
title (article 60(c) of the Uniform Code of Military
Justice).
``(B) If each form of the punishment that would result in
the termination of eligibility to receive retired pay is
later remitted, set
[[Page 1594]]
aside, or mitigated to a punishment that does not result in
the termination of that eligibility, a payment of benefits to
the eligible recipient under this subsection that is based on
the punishment so vacated, set aside, or mitigated shall
cease. The cessation of payments shall be effective as of the
first day of the first month following the month in which the
Secretary concerned notifies the recipient of such benefits
in writing that payment of the benefits will cease. The
recipient may not be required to repay the benefits received
before that effective date (except to the extent necessary to
recoup any amount that was erroneous when paid).''.

Subtitle G--Other Matters
SEC. 571. POLICY CONCERNING HOMOSEXUALITY IN THE ARMED
FORCES.
(a) Codification.--(1) Chapter 37 of title 10, United
States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following
new section:
``Sec. 654. Policy concerning homosexuality in the armed
forces
``(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
``(1) Section 8 of article I of the Constitution of the
United States commits exclusively to the Congress the powers
to raise and support armies, provide and maintain a Navy, and
make rules for the government and regulation of the land and
naval forces.
``(2) There is no constitutional right to serve in the
armed forces.
``(3) Pursuant to the powers conferred by section 8 of
article I of the Constitution of the United States, it lies
within the discretion of the Congress to establish
qualifications for and conditions of service in the armed
forces.
``(4) The primary purpose of the armed forces is to prepare
for and to prevail in combat should the need arise.
``(5) The conduct of military operations requires members
of the armed forces to make extraordinary sacrifices,
including the ultimate sacrifice, in order to provide for the
common defense.
``(6) Success in combat requires military units that are
characterized by high morale, good order and discipline, and
unit cohesion.
``(7) One of the most critical elements in combat
capability is unit cohesion, that is, the bonds of trust
among individual service members that make the combat
effectiveness of a military unit greater than the sum of the
combat effectiveness of the individual unit members.
``(8) Military life is fundamentally different from
civilian life in that--
``(A) the extraordinary responsibilities of the armed
forces, the unique conditions of military service, and the
critical role of unit cohesion, require that the military
community, while subject to civilian control, exist as a
specialized society; and
``(B) the military society is characterized by its own
laws, rules, customs, and traditions, including numerous
restrictions on personal behavior, that would not be
acceptable in civilian society.
``(9) The standards of conduct for members of the armed
forces regulate a member's life for 24 hours each day
beginning at the moment the member enters military status and
not ending until that person is discharged or otherwise
separated from the armed forces.
``(10) Those standards of conduct, including the Uniform
Code of Military Justice, apply to a member of the armed
forces at all times that the member has a military status,
whether the member is on base or off base, and whether the
member is on duty or off duty.
``(11) The pervasive application of the standards of
conduct is necessary because members of the armed forces must
be ready at all times for worldwide deployment to a combat
environment.
``(12) The worldwide deployment of United States military
forces, the international responsibilities of the United
States, and the potential for involvement of the armed forces
in actual combat routinely make it necessary for members of
the armed forces involuntarily to accept living conditions
and working conditions that are often spartan, primitive, and
characterized by forced intimacy with little or no privacy.
``(13) The prohibition against homosexual conduct is a
longstanding element of military law that continues to be
necessary in the unique circumstances of military service.
``(14) The armed forces must maintain personnel policies
that exclude persons whose presence in the armed forces would
create an unacceptable risk to the armed forces' high
standards of morale, good order and discipline, and unit
cohesion that are the essence of military capability.
``(15) The presence in the armed forces of persons who
demonstrate a propensity or intent to engage in homosexual
acts would create an unacceptable risk to the high standards
of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion that
are the essence of military capability.
``(b) Policy.--A member of the armed forces shall be
separated from the armed forces under regulations prescribed
by the Secretary of Defense if one or more of the following
findings is made and approved in accordance with procedures
set forth in such regulations:
``(1) That the member has engaged in, attempted to engage
in, or solicited another to engage in a homosexual act or
acts unless there are further findings, made and approved in
accordance with procedures set forth in such regulations,
that the member has demonstrated that--
``(A) such conduct is a departure from the member's usual
and customary behavior;
``(B) such conduct, under all the circumstances, is
unlikely to recur;
``(C) such conduct was not accomplished by use of force,
coercion, or intimidation;
``(D) under the particular circumstances of the case, the
member's continued presence in the armed forces is consistent
with the interests of the armed forces in proper discipline,
good order, and morale; and
``(E) the member does not have a propensity or intent to
engage in homosexual acts.
``(2) That the member has stated that he or she is a
homosexual or bisexual, or words to that effect, unless there
is a further finding, made and approved in accordance with
procedures set forth in the regulations, that the member has
demonstrated that he or she is not a person who engages in,
attempts to engage in, has a propensity to engage in, or
intends to engage in homosexual acts.
``(3) That the member has married or attempted to marry a
person known to be of the same biological sex.
``(c) Entry Standards and Documents.--(1) The Secretary of
Defense shall ensure that the standards for enlistment and
appointment of members of the armed forces reflect the
policies set forth in subsection (b).
``(2) The documents used to effectuate the enlistment or
appointment of a person as a member of the armed forces shall
set forth the provisions of subsection (b).
``(d) Required Briefings.--The briefings that members of
the armed forces receive upon entry into the armed forces and
periodically thereafter under section 937 of this title
(article 137 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice) shall
include a detailed explanation of the applicable laws and
regulations governing sexual conduct by members of the armed
forces, including the policies prescribed under subsection
(b).
``(e) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in subsection (b)
shall be construed to require that a member of the armed
forces be processed for separation from the armed forces when
a determination is made in accordance with regulations
prescribed by the Secretary of Defense that--
``(1) the member engaged in conduct or made statements for
the purpose of avoiding or terminating military service; and
``(2) separation of the member would not be in the best
interest of the armed forces.
``(f) Definitions.--In this section:
``(1) The term `homosexual' means a person, regardless of
sex, who engages in, attempts to engage in, has a propensity
to engage in, or intends to engage in homosexual acts, and
includes the terms `gay' and `lesbian'.
``(2) The term `bisexual' means a person who engages in,
attempts to engage in, has a propensity to engage in, or
intends to engage in homosexual and heterosexual acts.
``(3) The term `homosexual act' means--
``(A) any bodily contact, actively undertaken or passively
permitted, between members of the same sex for the purpose of
satisfying sexual desires; and
``(B) any bodily contact which a reasonable person would
understand to demonstrate a propensity or intent to engage in
an act described in subparagraph (A).''.
(2) The table of sections at the beginning of such chapter
is amended by adding at the end the following:
``654. Policy concerning homosexuality in the armed forces.''.
(b) Regulations.--Not later than 90 days after the date of
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall revise
Department of Defense regulations, and issue such new
regulations as may be necessary, to implement section 654 of
title 10, United States Code, as added by subsection (a).
(c) Savings Provision.--Nothing in this section or section
654 of title 10, United States Code, as added by subsection
(a), may be construed to invalidate any inquiry,
investigation, administrative action or proceeding, court-
martial, or judicial proceeding conducted before the
effective date of regulations issued by the Secretary of
Defense to implement such section 654.
(d) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the suspension of questioning concerning homosexuality
as part of the processing of individuals for accession into
the Armed Forces under the interim policy of January 29,
1993, should be continued, but the Secretary of Defense may
reinstate that questioning with such questions or such
revised questions as he considers appropriate if the
Secretary determines that it is necessary to do so in order
to effectuate the policy set forth in section 654 of title
10, United States Code, as added by subsection (a); and
(2) the Secretary of Defense should consider issuing
guidance governing the circumstances under which members of
the Armed Forces questioned about homosexuality for
administrative purposes should be afforded warnings similar
to the warnings under section 831(b) of title 10, United
States Code (article 31(b) of the Uniform Code of Military
Justice).

ASSISTANCE.
(a) In General.--Section 2005 of title 10, United States
Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new
subsections:
``(g)(1) In any case in which the Secretary concerned
determines that a person who entered into an agreement under
this section failed to complete the period of active duty
specified in the agreement (or failed to fulfill any other
term or condition prescribed in the agreement) and, by reason
of the provision of the agreement required under subsection
(a)(3), may owe a debt to the United States and in which that
person disputes that such a debt is owed, the Secretary shall
designate a member of the armed forces or a civilian employee
under the jurisdiction of the Secretary to investigate the
facts of the case and hear evidence presented by the person
who may owe the debt and other parties, as appropriate, in
order to determine the validity of the debt. That official
shall report the official's findings and recommendations to
the Secretary concerned. If the justification for the debt
investigated includes an allegation of misconduct, the
investigating official shall state in the report the
official's assessment as to whether the individual behavior
that resulted in the separation of the person who may owe the
debt qualifies as misconduct under subsection (a)(3).
``(2) The Secretary of each military department shall
ensure that a member of the armed forces who may be subject
to a reimbursement requirement under this section is advised
of such requirement before (1) submitting a request for
voluntary separation, or (2) making a decision on a course of
action regarding personal involvement in administrative,
nonjudicial, and judicial action resulting from alleged
misconduct.
``(h) The Secretary concerned may, at any time before
October 1, 1998, modify an agreement described in subsection
(a) to reduce the active duty service obligation specified in
the agreement if the Secretary determines that it is in the
best interests of the United States to do so. In such a case,
the Secretary shall reduce the amount required to be
reimbursed to the United States proportionately with the
reduction in the period of obligated active duty service.''.
(b) Effective Dates.--(1) Subsection (g) of section 2005 of
title 10, United States Code, as added by subsection (a),

Subtitle E--Commission on Roles and Missions of the Armed Forces
SEC. 951. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The current allocation of roles and missions among the
Armed Forces evolved from the practice during World War II to
meet the Cold War threat and may no longer be appropriate for
the post-Cold War era.
(2) Many analysts believe that a realignment of those roles
and mission is essential for the efficiency and effectiveness
of the Armed Forces, particularly in light of lower budgetary
resources that will be available to the Department of Defense
in the future.
(3) The existing process of a triennial review of roles and
missions by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
pursuant to provisions of law enacted by the Goldwater-
Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986 has
not produced the comprehensive review envisioned by Congress.
(4) It is difficult for any organization, and may be
particularly difficult for the Department of Defense, to
reform itself without the benefit and authority provided by
external perspectives and analysis.
SEC. 952. ESTABLISHMENT OF COMMISSION.

Department of Defense. The types of operations to be
considered by the Commission as part of such review shall

framework for the review of the organizational allocation

functions. In developing that framework, the Commission shall
consider--

economies of scale);
(2) dynamic effectiveness (including the benefits of
competition and the effect on innovation);
(3) interoperability, responsiveness, and other aspects of
military effectiveness in the field;
(4) gaps in mission coverage and so-called orphan missions
that are inadequately served by existing organizational

respect to any operation involving the armed forces that is
designated by the Secretary of Defense as a National
Contingency Operation. Whenever the Secretary designates an
operation as a National Contingency Operation, the Secretary
shall promptly transmit notice of that designation in writing
to Congress. This section does not provide authority for the
President or the Secretary of Defense to carry out an
operation, but applies to the Department of Defense
mechanisms by which funds are provided for operations that
the armed forces are required to carry out under some other
authority.
``(b) Waiver of Requirement To Reimburse Support Units.--
(1) When an operating unit of the armed forces participating
in a National Contingency Operation receives
[[Page 1618]]
support services from a support unit of the armed forces that
operates through the Defense Business Operations Fund (or a
successor fund), that operating unit need not reimburse that
support unit for the incremental costs incurred by the
support unit in providing such support, notwithstanding any
other provision of law or Government accounting practice.
``(2) The amounts which but for paragraph (1) would be
required to be reimbursed to a support unit shall be recorded
as an expense attributable to the operation and shall be
accounted for separately.

Contingency Operations may not exceed $300,000,000 at any one
time.

forth the manner by which the Secretary proposes to obtain
funds for the full cost to the United States of the
operation.
``(2) The plan shall specify in detail how the Secretary
proposes to make the Defense Business Operations Fund (or a
successor fund) whole again.
``(d) Incremental Costs.--For purposes of this section,
incremental costs of the Department of Defense with respect
to an operation are the costs that are directly attributable
to the operation and that are otherwise chargeable to
accounts available for operation and maintenance or for
military personnel. Any costs which are otherwise chargeable
to accounts available for procurement may not be considered
to be incremental costs for purposes of this section.
``(e) Incremental Personnel Costs Account.--There is hereby
established in the Department of Defense a reserve fund to be
known as the `National Contingency Operation Personnel Fund'.
Amounts in the fund shall be available for incremental
military personnel costs attributable to a National
Contingency Operation. Amounts in the fund remain available
until expended.
``(f) Coordination With War Powers Resolution.--This
section may not be construed as altering or superseding the
War Powers Resolution. This section does not provide
authority to conduct a National Contingency Operation or any
other operation.
``(g) GAO Compliance Reviews.--The Comptroller General of
the United States shall from time to time, and when requested
by a committee of Congress, conduct a review of the defense
contingency funding structure under this section to determine
whether the Department of Defense is complying with the
requirements and limitations of this section.
``(h) Definition.-- In this section, the term `National
Contingency Operation' means a military operation that is
designated by the Secretary of Defense as an operation the
cost of which, when considered with the cost of other ongoing

SEC. 1155. REPORT ON FOOD SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION PRACTICES
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Defense Personnel Support Center, a component of
the Defense Logistics Agency, purchases more than 90 percent
of the food supplied to military end-users, including dining
halls, hospitals, and other facilities that feed troops.
(2) Semiperishable items, such as canned goods, are stored
in four depots of the Defense Logistics Agency, and
perishable items, including fresh and frozen vegetables,
fruits, and meats, are stored in 21 contractor-operated
Defense Subsistence Offices.
(3) Private sector end-users, including independent
restaurants, hospitals, and hotels, obtain food through
direct delivery from commercial distributors of food.
(4) In a comprehensive inventory reduction plan issued in
May 1990, the Secretary of Defense concluded that there was
no benefit to using the food supply system of the Department
of Defense in circumstances in which the food requirements of
the Department could be met through the use of commercial
distributors of food.
(5) In a report published in June 1993, the General
Accounting Office determined that the Department of Defense
could achieve substantial cost savings by expanding the use
of commercial distributors of food and related commercial
practices in the food supply system of the Department.
(b) Review.--The Secretary of Defense shall conduct a
review of the food supply and distribution practices of the
Department of Defense. The review shall include the
following:
(1) An evaluation of the feasibility of, and the economic
advantages and disadvantages of, the expanded use of full-
line commercial distributors of food to deliver food directly
to military end-users.
(2) An evaluation of the potential for the expanded use of
such commercial distributors to reduce the need for the
storage of food (except for war reserve stocks and items
bound for overseas) directly by the Department of Defense and
to eliminate the requirement for Defense Subsistence Offices
and certain warehouse activities at military installations.
(3) A comparison of the cost of using the Department of
Defense food supply and distribution system to meet the
Department of Defense food requirements with the cost of
using commercial distributors of food to meet such
requirements.
(4) A consideration of any obstacles that would hinder the
ability of the Department of Defense to procure commercial
food items and to institute commercial practices with respect
to food supply and distribution.
(c) Report.--Not later than March 1, 1994, the Secretary
shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report
on the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the
Secretary as a result of the review conducted under
subsection (b).
Subtitle G--Congressional Findings, Policies, Commendations, and
Commemorations
SEC. 1161. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING JUSTIFICATION FOR
CONTINUING THE EXTREMELY LOW FREQUENCY (ELF)
COMMUNICATION SYSTEM.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) There is a need to re-evaluate all defense spending in
light of the changed circumstances of the post-Cold War era
and budget and fiscal constraints.
(2) The Extremely Low Frequency Communications System (ELF
System) was originally designed to play a role in the
strategic deterrence mission against the former Soviet Union.
(3) The threat of nuclear war has greatly diminished since
the collapse of the Soviet Union.
(4) The ELF System is increasingly in use for
communications with attack submarines in addition to
ballistic missile submarines.
(5) There have been questions raised about the effects of
ELF operations on human health and the environment and
ongoing studies of those effects are due to be concluded
during 1994.
(b) Evaluation and Report by Secretary of Defense.--The
Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional
defense committees, before consideration by Congress of the
fiscal year 1995 defense budget, a report containing the
results of an evaluation of the benefits and costs of
continued operation of the Extremely Low Frequency
Communications System and the benefits and costs of any
alternatives to that system. The report shall be based upon
an evaluation conducted by the Secretary after the date of
the enactment of this Act.
(c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
the bases at which the Extremely Low Frequency Communication
System is located, having been considered for closure or
realignment in the 1993 base closure process, should again be
considered for closure or realignment in the round of
military base closures to take place in 1995.
SEC. 1162. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE IMPORTANCE OF
NAVAL OCEANOGRAPHIC SURVEY AND RESEARCH IN THE
POST-COLD WAR PERIOD.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Oceanographic research and survey work is a critical
element to the ability of the Navy to conduct successful
operations in littoral waters of the world.
(2) Over the five-year period of fiscal years 1989 through
1993, the Navy experienced a significant diminution in its
oceanographic research and survey capability due to budget
reductions that resulted in (A) a reduction in the level of
effort for Navy oceanographic research and survey activities
by almost 50 percent, and (B) a reduction from 12 to 7 in the
number of Navy ships dedicated to oceanographic survey and
research activities.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) reductions in the funding, activities, and capability
of the Navy to conduct oceanographic survey and research
work, in addition to the reductions referred to in subsection
(a)(2), would further reduce the level of oceanographic
survey and research work of the Navy and should be avoided;
and
(2) funding for oceanographic survey and research
activities of the Navy should be maintained at levels
sufficient to ensure that the Navy can exploit every
opportunity to survey and research littoral waters critical
to the operational needs of the Navy.
SEC. 1163. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING UNITED STATES POLICY
ON PLUTONIUM.
(a) Finding.--The Congress finds that reprocessing spent
nuclear fuel referred to in subsection (c) to recover
plutonium may pose serious environmental hazards and increase
the risk of proliferation of weapons-usable plutonium.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that the President should take action to encourage the
reduction or cessation of the reprocessing of spent nuclear
fuel referred to in subsection (c) to recover plutonium until
the environmental and proliferation concerns related to such
reprocessing are resolved.
(c) Covered Spent Nuclear Fuel.--The spent nuclear fuel
referred to in subsections (a) and (b) is spent nuclear fuel
used in a commercial nuclear power reactor by the Government
of a foreign country or by a foreign-owned or foreign-
controlled entity.
SEC. 1164. SENSE OF SENATE ON ENTRY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF
CERTAIN FORMER MEMBERS OF THE IRAQI ARMED
FORCES.
It is the sense of the Senate that no person who was a
member of the armed forces of Iraq during the period from
August 2, 1990, through February 28, 1991, and who is in a
refugee camp in Saudi Arabia as of the date of enactment of
this Act should be granted entry into the United States under
the Immigration and Nationality Act unless the President
certifies to Congress before such entry that such person--
(1) assisted the United States or coalition armed forces
after defection from the armed forces of Iraq or after
capture by the United States or coalition armed forces; and
(2) did not commit or assist in the commission of war
crimes.
SEC. 1165. U.S.S. INDIANAPOLIS MEMORIAL, INDIANAPOLIS,
INDIANA.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) On July 30, 1945, during the closing days of World War
II, the U.S.S. Indianapolis (CA-35) was sunk as a result of a
torpedo attack on that ship.
(2) The memorial to the U.S.S. Indianapolis (CA-35) to be
located on the east bank of the Indianapolis water canal in
downtown Indianapolis, Indiana, will honor the personal
sacrifice of the 1,197 servicemen who were aboard the U.S.S.

the greatest single combat losses suffered by the United
States Navy in World War II.
(3) The memorial will pay fitting tribute to that gallant
ship and her final crew and will forever commemorate the
place of the U.S.S.
[[Page 1622]]

ship lost in World War II.
(4) The memorial to the U.S.S. Indianapolis symbolizes the
devoted service of the United States Navy and Marine Corps
personnel, particularly those who lost their lives at sea in
the Pacific Theater during World War II, whose dedication and
sacrifice in the cause of liberty and freedom were
instrumental in the triumph of the United States and its
allies in that war.
(5) The citizens of the United States have a continuing
obligation to educate future generations about the military
and other historic endeavors of the United States.
(b) Recognition as a National Memorial.--The memorial to

armed forces who wishes to retain as a souvenir an object
covered by paragraph (2) may so request at the time the

TITLE XIV--MATTERS RELATING TO ALLIES AND OTHER NATIONS
Subtitle A--Defense Burden Sharing
SEC. 1401. DEFENSE BURDENS AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Since fiscal year 1985, the budget of the Department of
Defense has declined by 34 percent in constant fiscal year
1985 dollars.
(2) During the past few years, the United States military
presence overseas has declined significantly in the following
ways:
(A) Since fiscal year 1986, the number of United States
military personnel permanently stationed overseas has
declined by almost 200,000.
(B) From fiscal year 1989 to fiscal year 1994, spending by
the United States to support the stationing of United States
military forces overseas will have declined by 36 percent.
(C) Since January 1990, the Department of Defense has
announced the closure, reduction, or transfer to standby
status of 840 United States military facilities overseas,
which is approximately a 50 percent reduction in the number
of such facilities.
(3) The United States military presence overseas will
continue to decline as a result of actions by the executive
branch and as a result of the following provisions of law:
(A) Section 1302 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 1993, which requires a 40 percent reduction
by September 30, 1996, in the number of United States
military personnel permanently stationed ashore in overseas
locations.
(B) Section 1303 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 1993, which provides that no more than
100,000 United States military personnel may be permanently
stationed ashore in NATO member countries after September 30,
1996.
(C) Section 1301 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 1993, which reduced the spending proposed by
the Department of Defense for overseas basing activities
during fiscal year 1993 by $500,000,000.
(D) Sections 913 and 915 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991, which
directed the President to develop a plan to gradually reduce
the United States military force structure in East Asia.
(4) The East Asia Strategy Initiative, which was developed
in response to sections 913 and 915 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991, has
resulted in the withdrawal of 12,000 United States military
personnel from Japan and the Republic of Korea since fiscal
year 1990.
(5) In response to actions by the executive branch and the
Congress, allied countries in which United States military
personnel are stationed and alliances in which the United
States participates have agreed to reduce the costs incurred
by the United States in basing military forces overseas in
the following ways:
(A) Under the 1991 Special Measures Agreement between Japan
and the United States, Japan will pay by 1995 almost all yen-
denominated costs of stationing United States military
personnel in Japan.
(B) The Republic of Korea has agreed to pay by 1995 one-
third of the won-based costs incurred by the United States in
stationing United States military personnel in the Republic
of Korea.
(C) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has
agreed that the NATO Infrastructure Program will adapt to
support post-Cold War strategy and could pay the annual
operation and maintenance costs of facilities in Europe and
the United States that would support the reinforcement of
Europe by United States military forces and the participation
of United States military forces in peacekeeping and conflict
prevention operations.
(D) Such allied countries and alliances have agreed to
share more fully the responsibilities and burdens of
providing for mutual security and stability through steps
such as the following:
(i) The Republic of Korea has assumed the leadership role
regarding ground combat forces for the defense of the
Republic of Korea.
(ii) NATO has adopted the new mission of conducting
peacekeeping operations and is, for example, providing land,
sea, and air forces for United Nations efforts in the former
Yugoslavia.
(iii) The countries of western Europe are contributing
substantially to the development of democracy, stability, and
open market societies in eastern Europe and the former Soviet
Union.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the forward presence of United States military
personnel stationed overseas continues to be important to
United States security interests;
(2) that forward presence facilitates efforts to pursue
United States security interests on a collective basis rather
than pursuing them on a far more costly unilateral basis or
receding into isolationism;
(3) the bilateral and multilateral arrangements and
alliances in which that forward presence plays a part must be
further adapted to the security environment of the post-Cold
War period;
(4) the cost-sharing percentages for the NATO
Infrastructure Program should be reviewed with the aim of
reflecting current economic, political, and military
realities and thus reducing the United States cost-sharing
percentage; and
(5) the amounts obligated to conduct United States overseas
basing activities should decline significantly in fiscal year
1994 and in future fiscal years as--
(A) the number of United States military personnel
stationed overseas continues to decline; and
(B) the countries in which United States military personnel
are stationed and the alliances in which the United States
participates assume an increased share of United States
overseas basing costs.
(c) Reducing United States Overseas Basing Costs.--(1) In
order to achieve additional savings in overseas basing costs,
the President should--
(A) continue with the reductions in United States military
presence overseas as required by sections 1302 and 1303 of
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993;
and
(B) intensify efforts to negotiate a more favorable host-
nation agreement with each foreign country to which this
paragraph applies under paragraph (3)(A).
(2) For purposes of paragraph (1)(B), a more favorable
host-nation agreement is an agreement under which such
foreign country--
(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 the United
States military presence; and
(iv) actions necessary to meet local environmental
standards;
(B) relieves the United States of all tax liability that,
with respect to forces located in that country, is incurred
by the Armed Forces of the United States 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.
(3)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), paragraph
(1)(B) 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. 2763)
(relating to the foreign military financing program) or under
the provisions of chapter 4 of part II of the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2346 et seq.); or
(ii) a foreign country that has agreed to assume, not later
than September 30, 1996, at least 75 percent of the
nonpersonnel costs of
[[Page 1639]]
United States military installations in the country.
(d) Obligational Limitation.--(1) The total amount
appropriated to the Department of Defense for Military
Personnel, for Operation and Maintenance, and for military
construction (including construction and improvement of
military family housing) that is obligated to conduct
overseas basing activities during fiscal year 1994 may not
exceed $16,915,400,000 (such amount being the amount
appropriated for such purposes for fiscal year 1993 reduced
by $3,300,000,000), except to the extent provided by the
Secretary of Defense under paragraph (3).
(2) For purposes of this subsection, the term ``overseas
basing activities'' means the activities of the Department of
Defense for which funds are provided through appropriations
for Military Personnel, for Operation and Maintenance
(including appropriations for family housing operations), and
for military construction (including construction and
improvement of military family housing) 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.
(3) The Secretary of Defense may increase the amount of the
limitation under paragraph (1) by such amount or amounts as
the Secretary determines to be necessary in the national
interest, but not to exceed a total increase of $582,700,000.
The Secretary may not increase the amount of such limitation
under the preceding sentence until the Secretary provides
notice to Congress of the Secretary's intent to authorize
such an increase and a period of 15 days elapses after the
day on which such notice is provided.
(e) Allocations of Savings.--Any amounts appropriated to
the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1994 for the
purposes covered by subsection (d)(1) that are not available
to be used for those purposes by reason of the limitation in
that subsection shall be allocated by the Secretary of
Defense for operation and maintenance and for military
construction activities of the Department of Defense at
military installations and facilities located inside the
United States.

SEC. 1411. FINDINGS, SENSE OF CONGRESS, AND REPORT
REQUIREMENT CONCERNING NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY
ORGANIZATION.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has
successfully met the challenge of helping to maintain the
peace, security, and freedom of the United States and its
NATO allies for more than 40 years.
(2) The national security interests of the United States
have been well served by the process of consultation,
coordination, and military cooperation in the NATO framework.
(3) Recent history has witnessed radical changes in the
international security environment, including the fall of the
Berlin Wall, the unification of Germany, the disbanding of
the Warsaw Pact and the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
(4) The military threats which NATO was established to
deter have greatly diminished with the end of the Cold War.
(5) The post-Cold War security situation continues to
present a wide array of challenges to United States national
interests, many of which interests the United States shares
with its allies in Europe and Canada.
(6) The international community may prove capable of
deterring many threats to the common peace if it can respond
decisively to aggression.
(7) The United States must share the responsibilities and
the burdens of pursuing international security and stability
with other nations.
(8) Several of the newly democratic nations of Central and
Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union have expressed
interest in seeking membership in NATO.
(9) Many of the security challenges facing the post-Cold
War world would be best handled through coherent multilateral
responses.
(10) The United States should never send its military
forces into combat unless they are provided with the best
opportunity to accomplish their objectives with as little
risk as possible.
(11) Military interventions against antagonistic armed
forces cannot be conducted safely or effectively on a
multilateral basis unless such operations are jointly planned
in advance and are executed by units which have trained
together and are familiar with each others' operational
procedures.
(12) NATO is currently the only organization with the
experience, trained staff, and infrastructure necessary to
support military cooperation with the major military allies
of the United States.
(13) The NATO allies already have volunteered to consider
requests from the United Nations and the Conference on
Security and Cooperation in Europe for assistance in
maintaining the peace.
(14) Justification of the relevance of NATO in the post-
Cold War world will depend largely upon the alliance's
ability to adapt its mission, area of responsibility, and
procedures to the new security environment.
(15) Justification of future United States support for the
alliance and for a United States military presence in Europe
will depend upon NATO's ability to address those security
interests which the United States shares with its allies in
Europe and Canada.
(16) The meeting of the NATO heads of state scheduled for
January 1994, presents an excellent opportunity for the
President to articulate a new, broader security mission for
the alliance in the post-Cold War world, one which will
enable it to address a wider array of threats to its members'
interests and which will help to share more effectively the
burden of international security requirements.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that--
(1) old threats to the security of the United States and
its allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization having
greatly diminished, and new, more diverse challenges having
arisen (including ethno-religious conflict in Central and
Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union and the
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction in regions
proximate to alliance territory), NATO's mission must be
redefined so that it may respond to such challenges to its
members' security even when those challenges emanate from
beyond the geographic boundaries of its members' territories;
(2) NATO should review its consultative mechanisms in order
to maximize its ability to marshal political, diplomatic,
social, and economic solidarity, buttressed by credible
military capability, and to bring the full weight and scope
of its cooperative efforts to bear in addressing the new
challenges; and
(3) future United States military involvement in, and
contributions to, NATO should be determined in relation to
the alliance's success or failure in adapting itself to
confronting the challenges of the post-Cold War world.
(c) Report.--Not later than 30 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the President shall transmit a report
to the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on
Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee on Armed
Services and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of
Representatives. The report shall contain recommendations on
the following:
(1) The manner in which NATO can formulate and implement a
strategy to address the new, more disparate threats to the
security of its members.
(2) The manner in which NATO should continue to adapt its
consultative process, including efforts to extend that
process to the new democracies of Central and Eastern Europe
and the former Soviet Union, so as to enhance its political,
diplomatic, social, economic, and military efforts to project
stability eastward and maximize its capabilities in crisis
prevention and crisis management.
(3) The feasibility of having NATO conduct security
operations beyond the geographic boundaries of the alliance.
(4) The manner in which NATO should restructure its forces,
training and equipment for the new security environment,
including with regard to mulitnational peacekeeping
activities.
(5) The desirability of expanding the alliance to include
traditionally neutral nations or the new democratic nations
of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union
that wish to join NATO.
(6) The proper size and composition of United States forces
to be deployed in Europe to assist in the implementation of
NATO's new mandate and possible reduction in United States
military deployments in
[[Page 1640]]
Europe in the event of the alliance's failure to adopt a new
mandate.
(7) The structure and organization of NATO headquarters,
with particular attention to the need to reinvigorate the
NATO Military Committee.
(8) The extent to which NATO liaison teams should be
assigned to the United Nations and the Conference on Security
and Cooperation in Europe so as to facilitate better
coordination among these organizations, especially in regard
to crisis prevention and crisis management.
(9) The desirability of having additional NATO forces train
in North America in a manner supportive of NATO's proposed
new strategy.
(10) The structure of NATO's military command, with
particular attention to the need to make NATO's Rapid
Reaction Force a credible deterrent to regional aggression.
(11) The levels of United States, European, and Canadian
defense budgets and their ability to finance forces
consistent with the implementation of NATO's new mandate.
SEC. 1412. MODIFICATION OF CERTAIN REPORT REQUIREMENTS.
(a) Biennial NATO Report.--Section 1002(d) of the

biennially each year thereafter'' and inserting in lieu
thereof ``Not later than April 1 of each even-numbered
year''; and
(3) by redesignating subparagraphs (A) and (B) as
paragraphs (1) and (2).
(b) Report on Allied Contributions.--Section 1046(e) of the

note) is amended--
(1) by striking out ``and'' at the end of paragraph (2);

(c) Finding and Sense of Congress.--(1) The Congress finds
that the Secretary of Defense did not submit to Congress in a
timely manner the report on allied contributions to the
common defense required under section 1003(c) of the National
Defense Authorization Act, 1985 (Public Law 98-525; 22 U.S.C.
1928 note), to be submitted not later than April 1, 1993.
(2) It is the sense of Congress that the timely submission
of such report to Congress each year is essential to the
deliberation by Congress concerning the annual defense
program.
SEC. 1413. PERMANENT AUTHORITY TO CARRY OUT AWACS MEMORANDA

by striking out subsection (d).
Subtitle C--Export of Defense Articles

U.S.C. 2321j(a)(3)) is amended by inserting ``or fiscal year
1992'' after ``fiscal year 1991''.
SEC. 1422. REPORT ON EFFECT OF INCREASED USE OF DUAL-USE
TECHNOLOGIES ON ABILITY TO CONTROL EXPORTS.
(a) Report Requirement.--Not later than six months after
the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of
Defense shall submit to Congress a report assessing what
effect the increased use of dual-use and commercial
technologies and items by the Department of Defense could
have on the ability of the United States to control
adequately the export of sensitive dual-use and military
technologies and items to nations to whom the receipt of such
technologies is contrary to United States national security
interests.
(b) Effect on Defense Programs.--The report required by
subsection (a) shall include--
(1) an assessment of the national security implications of
any lowering of licensing controls on the export of dual-use
items and technology, to include an assessment of the effect
such lowering of controls could have on operational United
States defense programs and capabilities and planned United
States defense programs and capabilities;
(2) a description of the steps the Secretary of Defense
intends to take to ensure that any decontrol of dual-use
items and technology does not place at risk the technology
and defense capability lead that the United States currently
enjoys; and
(3) a description of the steps the Department of Defense
intends to take to mitigate any possible increase in the
proliferation threat resulting from decontrol of dual-use
items and technology.
(c) Consultation.--The report required by subsection (a)
shall be prepared in consultation with the Director of
Central Intelligence.
SEC. 1423. EXTENSION OF LANDMINE EXPORT MORATORIUM.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Anti-personnel landmines, which are designed to maim
and kill people, have been used indiscriminately in
dramatically increasing numbers around the world. Hundreds of
thousands of noncombatant civilians, including children, have
been the primary victims. Unlike other military weapons,
landmines often remain implanted and undiscovered after
conflict has ended, causing massive suffering to civilian
populations.
(2) Tens of millions of landmines have been strewn in at
least 62 countries, often making whole areas uninhabitable.
The Department of State estimates that there are more than
10,000,000 landmines in Afghanistan, 9,000,000 in Angola,
4,000,000 in Cambodia, 3,000,000 in Iraqi Kurdistan, and
2,000,000 each in Somalia, Mozambique, and the former
Yugoslavia. Hundreds of thousands of landmines were used in
conflicts in Central America in the 1980s.
(3) Advanced technologies are being used to manufacture
sophisticated mines which can be scattered remotely at a rate
of 1,000 per hour. These mines, which are being produced by
many industrialized countries, were found in Iraqi arsenals
after the Persian Gulf War.
(4) At least 300 types of anti-personnel landmines have
been manufactured by at least 44 countries, including the
United States. However, the United States is not a major
exporter of landmines. During the 10 years from 1983 through
1992, the United States approved 10 licenses for the
commercial export of anti-personnel landmines with a total
value of $980,000 and the sale under the Foreign Military
Sales program of 108,852 anti-personnel landmines.
(5) The United States signed, but has not ratified, the
1980 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.
Protocol II of the Convention, otherwise known as the
Landmine Protocol, prohibits the indiscriminate use of
landmines.
(6) When it signed the 1980 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.''.
(7) The United States also indicated that it had supported
procedures to enforce compliance, which were omitted from the
Convention's final draft. The United States stated: ``The
United States strongly supported proposals by other countries
during the Conference to include special procedures for
dealing with compliance matters, and reserves the right to
propose at a later date additional procedures and remedies,
should this prove necessary, to deal with such problems.''.
(8) The lack of compliance procedures and other weaknesses
have significantly undermined the effectiveness of the
Landmine Protocol. Since it entered into force on December 2,
1983, the number of civilians maimed and killed by anti-
personnel landmines has multiplied.
(9) Since October 23, 1992, when a one-year moratorium on
sales, transfers, and exports by the United States of anti-
personnel landmines was enacted into law (in section 1365 of
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993
(Public Law 102-484; 22 U.S.C. 2778 note)), the European
Parliament has issued a resolution calling for a five year
moratorium on sales, transfers, and exports of anti-personnel
landmines and the Government of France has announced that it
has ceased all sales, transfers, and exports of anti-
personnel landmines.
(10) On December 2, 1993, 10 years will have elapsed since
the 1980 Convention entered into force, triggering the right
of any party to request a United Nations conference to review
the Convention. Amendments to the Landmine Protocol may be
considered at that time. A formal request has been made to
the United Nations Secretary General for a review conference.
With necessary preparations and consultations among
governments, a review conference is not expected to be
convened before late 1994 or early 1995.
(11) The United States should continue to set an example
for other countries in such negotiations by extending the
moratorium on sales, transfers, and exports of anti-personnel
landmines for an additional three years. A moratorium of that
duration would extend the prohibition on the sale, transfer,
and export of anti-personnel landmines a sufficient time to
take into account the results of a United Nations review
conference.
(b) Statement of Policy.--
(1) It is the policy of the United States to seek
verifiable international agreements prohibiting the sale,
transfer or export, and further limiting the manufacture,
possession and use, of anti-personnel landmines.
(2) It is the sense of the Congress that--
(A) the President should submit the 1980 Convention on
Certain Conventional Weapons to the Senate for ratification;
and
(B) the United States should--
(i) participate in a United Nations conference to review
the Landmine Protocol; and
(ii) actively seek to negotiate under United Nations
auspices a modification of the Landmine Protocol, or another
international agreement, to prohibit the sale, transfer, or
export of anti-personnel landmines and to further limit the
manufacture, possession, and use of anti-personnel landmines.
(c) Three-Year Extension of Landmine Moratorium.--Section
1365(c) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
[[Page 1641]]
Year 1993 (Public Law 102-484; 22 U.S.C. 2778 note) is
amended by striking out ``For a period of one year beginning
on the date of the enactment of this Act'' and inserting in
lieu thereof ``During the four-year period beginning on
October 23, 1992''.
(d) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term
``anti-personnel landmine'' means any of the following:
(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 which is actuated by remote
control or automatically after a lapse of time.

(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) It is in the national security interest of the United
States to promote democracy throughout the world.
(2) The armed forces of newly democratic nations often lack
the democratic traditions that are a hallmark of the Armed
Forces of the United States.
(3) The understanding of military roles and missions in a
democracy is essential for the development and preservation
of democratic forms of government.
(4) The service of retired members of the Armed Forces of

States Air Force C-130 aircraft operating off the coast of
Peru; and

Subtitle B--International Nonproliferation Activities
SEC. 1611. NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
(1) The United States has been seeking to contain the
spread of nuclear weapons technology and materials.
(2) With the end of the Cold War and the breakup of the
Soviet Union, the proliferation of nuclear weapons is now a
leading military threat to the national security of the
United States and its allies.
(3) The United Nations Security Council declared on January
31, 1992, that ``proliferation of all weapons of mass
destruction constitutes a threat to international peace and
security'' and committed to taking appropriate action to
prevent proliferation from occurring.
(4) Aside from the five declared nuclear weapon states, a
number of other nations have or are pursuing nuclear weapons
capabilities.
(5) The IAEA is a valuable international institution to
counter proliferation, but the effectiveness of its system to
safeguard nuclear materials may be adversely affected by
financial constraints.
(6) The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty codifies world
consensus against further nuclear proliferation and is
scheduled for review and extension in 1995.
(7) The Nuclear Nonproliferation Act of 1978 declared that
the United States is committed to continued strong support
for the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to a
strengthened and more effective IAEA, and established that it
is United States policy to establish more effective controls
over the transfer of nuclear equipment, materials, and
technology.
(b) Comprehensive Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy.--In
order to end nuclear proliferation and reduce current nuclear
arsenals and supplies of weapons-usable nuclear materials, it
should be the policy of the United States to pursue a
comprehensive policy to end the further spread of nuclear
weapons capability, roll back nuclear proliferation where it
has occurred, and prevent the use of nuclear weapons anywhere
in the world, with the following additional objectives:
(1) Successful conclusion of all pending nuclear arms
control and disarmament agreements with all the republics of
the former Soviet Union and their secure implementation.
(2) Full participation by all the republics of the former
Soviet Union in all multilateral nuclear nonproliferation
efforts and acceptance of IAEA safeguards on all their
nuclear facilities.
(3) Strengthening of United States and international
support to the IAEA so that the IAEA has the technical,
financial, and political resources to verify that countries
are complying with their nonproliferation commitments.
(4) Strengthening of nuclear export controls in the United
States and other nuclear supplier nations, impose sanctions
on individuals, companies, and countries which contribute to
nuclear proliferation, and provide increased public
information on nuclear export licenses approved in the United
States.
(5) Reduction in incentives for countries to pursue the
acquisition of nuclear weapons by seeking to reduce regional
tensions and to strengthen regional security agreements, and
encourage the United Nations Security Council to increase its
role in enforcing international nuclear nonproliferation
agreements.
(6) Support for the indefinite extension of the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty at the 1995 conference to review and
extend that treaty and seek to ensure that all countries sign
the treaty or participate in a comparable international
regime for monitoring and safeguarding nuclear facilities and
materials.
(7) Reaching agreement with the Russian Federation to end
the production of new types of nuclear warheads.
(8) Pursuing, once the START I treaty and the START II
treaty are ratified by all parties, a multilateral agreement
to significantly reduce the strategic nuclear arsenals of the
United States and the Russian Federation to below the levels
of the START II treaty, with lower levels for the United
Kingdom, France, and the People's Republic of China.
(9) Reaching immediate agreement with the Russian
Federation to halt permanently the production of fissile
material for weapons purposes, and working to achieve
worldwide agreements to--
(A) end in the shortest possible time the production of
weapons-usable fissile material;
(B) place existing stockpiles of such materials under
bilateral or international controls; and
(C) require countries to place all of their nuclear
facilities dedicated to peaceful purposes under IAEA
safeguards.
(10) Strengthening IAEA safeguards to more effectively
verify that countries are complying with their
nonproliferation com-
[[Page 1646]]
mitments and provide the IAEA with the political, technical,
and financial support necessary to implement the necessary
safeguard reforms.
(11) Conclusion of a multilateral comprehensive nuclear
test ban treaty.
(c) Requirements for Implementation of Policy.--(1) Not
later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this

(a) Limitation.--Until a certification under subsection (b)
is made, no funds may be obligated or expended by the United
States for the purpose of assisting the Ministry of Atomic
Energy of Russia to construct a storage facility for surplus
plutonium from dismantled weapons.
(b) Certification of Russia's Commitment to Halt Chemical
Separation of Weapon-Grade Plutonium.--The prohibition in
subsection (a) shall cease to apply upon a certification by
the President to Congress that Russia--
(1) is committed to halting the chemical separation of
weapon-grade plutonium from spent nuclear fuel; and
(2) is taking all practical steps to halt such separation
at the earliest possible date.
(c) Sense of Congress on Plutonium Policy.--It is the sense
of Congress that a key objective of the United States with
respect to the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons should be
to obtain a clear and unequivocal commitment from the
Government of Russia that it will (1) cease all production
and separation of weapon-grade plutonium, and (2) halt

SEC. 1613. NORTH KOREA AND THE TREATY ON THE NON-
PROLIFERATION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
(1) The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons,
to which 156 states are party, is the cornerstone of the
international nuclear nonproliferation regime.
(2) Any nonnuclear weapon state that is a party to the
Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons is
obligated to accept International Atomic Energy Agency
safeguards on all source or special fissionable material that
is within its territory, under its jurisdiction, or carried
out under its control anywhere.
(3) The International Atomic Energy Agency is permitted to
conduct inspections in a nonnuclear weapon state that is a
party to the Treaty at any site, whether or not declared by
that state, to ensure that all source or special fissionable
material in that state is under safeguards.
(4) North Korea acceded to the Treaty on the Non-
Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons as a nonnuclear weapons
state in December 1985.
(5) North Korea, after acceding to that treaty, refused
until 1992 to accept International Atomic Energy Agency
safeguards as required under the treaty.
(6) Inspections of North Korea's nuclear materials by the
International Atomic Energy Agency suggested discrepancies in
North Korea's declarations regarding special nuclear
materials.
(7) North Korea has not given a scientifically satisfactory
explanation for those discrepancies.
(8) North Korea refused to provide International Atomic
Energy Agency inspectors with full access to two sites for
the purposes of verifying its compliance with the Treaty on
the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
(9) When called upon by the International Atomic Energy
Agency to provide such full access as required by the Treaty,
North Korea announced its intention to withdraw from the
Treaty, effective after the required three months notice.
(10) After intensive negotiations with the United States,
North Korea agreed to suspend its intention to withdraw from
the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and
begin consultations with the International Atomic Energy
Agency on providing access to its suspect sites.
(11) In an attempt to persuade North Korea to abandon its
nuclear weapons program, the United States has offered to
discuss with North Korea specific incentives that could be
provided for North Korea once (A) outstanding inspection
issues between North Korea and the International Atomic
Energy Agency are resolved, and (B) progress is made in
bilateral talks between North Korea and South Korea.
(b) Congressional Statements.--The Congress--
(1) notes that the continued refusal of North Korea nearly
eight years after ratification of the Treaty on the Non-
Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons to fully accept
International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards raises serious
questions regarding a possible North Korean nuclear weapons
program;
(2) notes that possession by North Korea of nuclear weapons
(A) would threaten peace and stability in Asia, (B) would
jeopardize the existing nuclear non-proliferation regime, and
(C) would undermine the goal of the United States to extend
the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons at the
1995 review conference;
(3) urges continued pressure from the President, United
States allies, and the United Nations Security Council on
North Korea to adhere to the Treaty and provide full access
to the International Atomic Energy Agency in the shortest
time possible;
(4) urges the President, United States allies, and the
United Nations Security Council to press for continued talks
between North Korea and South Korea on denuclearization of
the Korean peninsula;
(5) urges that no trade, financial, or other economic
benefits be provided to North Korea by the United States or
United States allies until North Korea has (A) provided full
access to the International Atomic Energy Agency, (B)
satisfactorily explained any discrepancies in its
declarations of bomb-grade material, and (C) fully
demonstrated that it does not have or seek a nuclear weapons
capability; and
(6) calls on the President and the international community
to take steps to strengthen the international nuclear
nonproliferation regime.
SEC. 1614. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO THE PROLIFERATION OF
SPACE LAUNCH VEHICLE TECHNOLOGIES.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
(1) The United States has joined with other nations in the
Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), which restricts the
transfer of missiles or equipment or technology that could
contribute to the design, development, or production of
missiles capable of delivering weapons of mass destruction.
(2) Missile technology is indistinguishable from, and
interchangeable with, space launch vehicle technology.
(3) Transfers of missile technology or space launch vehicle
technology cannot be safeguarded in a manner that would
provide timely warning of diversion for military purposes.
(4) It has been United States policy since agreeing to the
guidelines of the Missile Technology Control Regime to treat
the sale or transfer of space launch vehicle technology as
restrictively as the sale or transfer of missile technology.
(5) Previous congressional action on missile proliferation,
notably title XVII of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 1991 (Public Law 101-510; 104 Stat. 1738),
has explicitly supported the policy described in paragraph
(4) through such actions as the statutory definition of the
term ``missile'' to mean ``a category I system as defined in
the MTCR Annex, and any other unmanned delivery system of
similar capability, as well as the specially designed
production facilities for these systems''.
(6) There is strong evidence that emerging national space
launch programs in the Third World are not economically
viable.
[[Page 1647]]
(7) The United States has been successful in dissuading
other countries from pursuing space launch vehicle programs
in part by offering to cooperate with those countries in
other areas of space science and technology.
(8) The United States has successfully dissuaded other MTCR
adherents, and countries who have agreed to abide by MTCR
guidelines, from providing assistance to emerging national
space launch programs in the Third World.
(b) Strict Interpretation of MTCR.--The Congress supports
the strict interpretation by the United States of the Missile
Technology Control Regime concerning--
(1) the inability to distinguish space launch vehicle
technology from missile technology under the regime; and
(2) the inability to safeguard space launch vehicle
technology in a manner that would provide timely warning of
the diversion of such technology to military purposes.
(c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
the United States Government and the governments of other
nations adhering to the Missile Technology Control Regime
should be recognized by the international community for--
(1) the success of those governments in restricting the
export of space launch vehicle technology and of missile
technology; and
(2) the significant contribution made by the imposition of
such restrictions to reducing the proliferation of missile
technology capable of being used to deliver weapons of mass
destruction.
(d) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term
``Missile Technology Control Regime'' or ``MTCR'' means the
policy statement, between the United States, the United
Kingdom, the Federal Republic of Germany, France, Italy,
Canada, and Japan, announced on April 16, 1987, to restrict
sensitive missile-relevant transfers based on the MTCR Annex,
and any amendments thereto.

TITLE XXIX--DEFENSE BASE CLOSURE AND REALIGNMENT
Subtitle A--Base Closure Community Assistance
SEC. 2901. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The closure and realignment of military installations
within the United States is a necessary consequence of the
end of the Cold War and of changed United States national
security requirements.
(2) A military installation is a significant source of
employment for many communities, and the closure or
realignment of an installation may cause economic hardship
for such communities.
(3) It is in the interest of the United States that the
Federal Government facilitate the economic recovery of
communities that experience adverse economic circumstances as
a result of the closure or realignment of a military
installation.
(4) It is in the interest of the United States that the
Federal Government assist communities that experience adverse
economic circumstances as a result of the closure of military
installations by working with such communities to identify
and implement means of reutilizing or redeveloping such
installations in a beneficial manner or of otherwise
revitalizing such communities and the economies of such
communities.
(5) The Federal Government may best identify and
implement such means by requiring that the head of each
department or agency of the Federal Government having
jurisdiction over a matter arising out of the closure of a
military installation under a base closure law, or the
reutilization and re-
[[Page 1665]]
development of such an installation, designate for each
installation to be closed an individual in such department or
agency who shall provide information and assistance to the
transition coordinator for the installation designated under
section 2915 on the assistance, programs, or other activities
of such department or agency with respect to the closure or
reutilization and redevelopment of the installation.
(6) The Federal Government may also provide such assistance
by accelerating environmental restoration at military
installations to be closed, and by closing such
installations, in a manner that best ensures the beneficial
reutilization and redevelopment of such installations by such
communities.
(7) The Federal Government may best contribute to such
reutilization and redevelopment by making available real and
personal property at military installations to be closed to
communities affected by such closures on a timely basis, and,
if appropriate, at less than fair market value.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds and declares the following:
(1) The general mining laws, commonly referred to as the
Mining Law of 1872, at one time promoted the development of
the West and provided a framework for the exploitation of
Federal mineral resources.
(2) Congress recognized that the public interest was no
longer being advanced under the Mining Law of 1872 when, in
1920, it removed energy minerals and minerals chiefly
valuable for agricultural use, and in 1955, removed common
varieties of mineral materials, from the scope of the general
mining laws and made such minerals available under regimes
which provide for a financial return to the public for the
disposition of such minerals and which better safeguard the
environment.
(3) The Mining Law of 1872 no longer fosters the efficient
and diligent development of those mineral resources still
under its scope, giving rise to speculation and nonmining
uses of lands chiefly valuable for minerals.
(4) The Mining Law of 1872 does not provide for a financial
return to the American people for use by claim holders of
public domain lands or for the disposition of valuable
mineral resources from such lands.
(5) The Mining Law of 1872 continues to transfer lands
valuable for mineral resources from the public domain to
private ownership for less than the fair market value of such
lands and mineral resources.
(6) There are a substantial number of acres of land
throughout the Nation disturbed by mining activities
conducted under the Mining Law of 1872 on which little or no
reclamation was conducted, and the impacts from these
unreclaimed lands pose a threat to the public health, safety,
and general welfare and to environmental quality.
(7) Activities under the Mining Law of 1872 continue to
result in disturbances of surface areas and water resources
which burden and adversely affect the public welfare by
destroying or diminishing the utility of public domain lands
for other appropriate uses and by creating hazards dangerous
to the public health and safety and to the environment.
(8) Existing Federal law and regulations, as well as
applicable State laws, have proven to be inadequate to ensure
that active mining operations under the Mining Law of 1872
will not leave to future generations a new legacy of hazards
associated with unreclaimed mined lands.
(9) The public interest is no longer being served by
archaic features of the Mining Law of 1872 that thwart the
efficient exploration and development of those minerals which
remain under its scope and which conflict with modern public
land use management philosophies.
(10) The public is justified in expecting the diligent
development of its mineral resources, a financial return for
the use of public domain lands for mineral activities as well
as for the disposition of valuable mineral resources from
such lands.
(11) It is not in the public interest for public domain
lands to be sold for below fair market value nor does this
aspect of the Mining Law of 1872 comport with modern Federal
land policy which is grounded on the retention of public
domain lands under the principles of multiple use.
(12) Mining and reclamation technology is now developed so
that effective and reasonable regulation of operations by the
Federal Government in accordance with this Act is an
appropriate and necessary means to minimize so far as
practicable the adverse social, economic and environmental
effects of such mining operations.
(13) Mining activities on public domain lands affect
interstate commerce, contribute to the economic well-being,
security and general welfare of the Nation and should be
conducted in an environmentally sound manner.
(14) It is necessary that any revision of the general
mining laws insure that a domestic supply of hardrock
minerals be made available to the domestic economy of the
United States.
(15) America's economy still depends heavily on hardrock
minerals and a strong environmentally sound mining industry
is critical to the domestic minerals supply.
(16) Many of the deposits of hardrock minerals remain to be
discovered on the Federal public domain.
(17) Private enterprise must be given adequate incentive to
engage in a capital-intensive industry such as hardrock
mining.
(18) The United States, as owner of the public domain, has
a dual interest in insuring a fair return for mining on the
public domain and insuring that any royalty and fees charged
do not discourage essential mining activity on the public
domain.
(19) The domestic mining industry provides thousands of
jobs directly and indirectly to the domestic economy and
those jobs must be preserved and encouraged by a sound
Federal policy regarding mining on Federal lands.
(b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act--
(1) to devise a more socially, fiscally and environmentally
responsible regime to govern the use of public domain lands
for the exploration and development of those minerals not
subject to mineral leasing acts or mineral materials
statutes;
(2) to provide for a fair return to the public for the use
of public domain lands for mineral activities and for the
disposition of minerals from such lands;
(3) to foster the diligent development of mineral resources
on public domain lands in a manner that is compatible with
other resource values and environmental quality;
(4) to promote the restoration of mined areas left without
adequate reclamation prior to the enactment of this Act and
which continue, in their unreclaimed condition, to
substantially degrade the quality of the environment, prevent
the beneficial use of land or water resources, and endanger
the health and safety of the public;
(5) to assure that appropriate procedures are provided for
public participation in the development, revision and
enforcement of regulations, standards and programs
established under this Act; and
(6) to, whenever necessary, exercise the full reach of
Federal constitutional powers to ensure the protection of the
public interest through the effective control of mineral
exploration and development activities.

The holder of a mining claim located or converted under
this Act and maintained in compliance with this Act shall
have the exclusive right of possession and use of the claimed
land for mineral activities, including the right of ingress
and egress to such claimed lands for such activities, subject
to the rights of the United States under this Act and other
applicable Federal law. Such rights of the claim holder shall
terminate upon completion of mineral activities of lands to
the satisfaction of the Secretary. In cases where an area is
determined unsuitable under section 209, holders of claims
converted or located under this Act shall be entitled to
receive a refund of claim maintenance fees.
SEC. 103. LOCATION OF MINING CLAIMS.
(a) General Rule.--A person may locate a mining claim
covering lands open to the location of mining claims by
posting a notice of location, containing the person's name
and address, the time of location (which shall be the date
and hour of location and posting), and a legal description of
the claim. The notice of location shall be posted on a
suitable, durable monument erected as near as practicable to
the northeast corner of the mining claim. No person who is
not a citizen of the United States, or a corporation
organized under the laws of the United States or of any State
or the District of Columbia may locate or hold a claim under
this Act. On or after the enactment of this Act, a mining
claim for a locatable mineral on lands open to location--
(1) may be located only in accordance with this Act,
(2) may be maintained only as provided in this Act, and
(3) shall be subject to the requirements of this Act.
(b) Use of Public Land Survey.--Except as provided in
subsection (c), each mining claim located under this Act
shall (1) be located in accordance with the public land
survey system, and (2) conform to the legal subdivisions
thereof. Except as provided in subsection (c)(1), the legal
description of the mining claim shall be based on the public
land survey system and its legal subdivisions.
(c) Exceptions.--(1) If only a protracted survey exists for
the public lands concerned, each of the following shall apply
in lieu of subsection (b):
[[Page 1700]]
(A) The legal description of the mining claim shall be
based on the protracted survey and the mining claim shall be
located as near as practicable in conformance with a
protracted legal subdivision.
(B) The mining claim shall be monumented on the ground by
the erection of a suitable, durable monument at each corner
of the claim.
(C) The legal description of the mining claim shall include
a reference to any existing survey monument, or where no such
monument can be found within a reasonable distance, to a
permanent and conspicuous natural object.
(2) If no survey exists for the public lands concerned,
each of the following shall apply in lieu of subsection (b):
(A) The mining claim shall be a regular square, with each
side laid out in cardinal directions, 40 acres in size.
(B) The claim shall be monumented on the ground by the
erection of a suitable durable monument at each corner of the
claim.
(C) The legal description of the mining claim shall be
expressed in metes and bounds and shall be defined by and
referenced to the closest existing survey monument, or where
no such monument can be found within a reasonable distance,
to a permanent and conspicuous natural object. Such
description shall be of sufficient accuracy and completeness
to permit recording of the claim upon the public land records
and to permit the claim to be readily found upon the ground.
(3) In the case of a conflict between the boundaries of a
mining claim as monumented on the ground and the description
of such claim in the notice of location referred to in
subsection (a), the notice of location shall be
determinative, except where determined otherwise by the
Secretary.
(d) Filing With Secretary.--(1) Within 30 days after the
location of a mining claim pursuant to this section, a copy
of the notice of location referred to in subsection (a) shall
be filed with the Secretary in an office designated by the
Secretary.
(2)(A) Whenever the Secretary receives a copy of a notice
of location of a mining claim under this Act, the Secretary
shall assign a serial number to the mining claim, and
immediately return a copy of the notice of location to the
locator of the claim, together with a certificate setting
forth the serial number, a description of the claim, and the
claim maintenance requirements of section 105. The Secretary
shall enter the claim on the public land records.
(B) Return of the copy of the notice of location and
provision of the certificate under subparagraph (A) shall not
constitute a determination by the Secretary that a claim is
valid. Failure by the Secretary to provide such copy and
certificate shall not constitute a defense against
cancellation of a claim for failure to follow applicable
requirements of this Act.
(3) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for every
unpatented mining claim located after the date of enactment
of this Act, the locator shall, at the time the location
notice is recorded with the Bureau of Land Management, pay a
location fee of $25.00 per claim. The location fee shall be
in addition to the claim maintenance fee payable under
section 105.
(4) Subsections (b) and (c) of section 314 of the Federal
Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1744(b))
are repealed.
(e) Converted Claims.--For mining claims and mill sites
deemed converted under this Act, for the purposes of
complying with the requirements of subsection (d), upon
receipt of the initial claim maintenance fee required under
section 105, the Secretary shall issue a certificate
referenced in subsection (d)(2) to the holder of the mining
claim or mill site.

converted under this Act.
(h) Conflicting Locations.--Any conflicts between the
holders of mining claims located or converted under this Act
relating to relative superiority under the provisions of this
Act may be resolved in adjudication proceedings in a court
with proper jurisdiction, including, as appropriate, State
courts. It shall be incumbent upon the holder of a mining
claim asserting superior rights in such proceedings to
demonstrate that such person was the senior locator, or if
such person is the junior locator, that prior to the location
of the claim by such locator--
(1) the senior locator failed to file a copy of the notice
of location within the time provided under subsection (d); or
(2) the amount of claim maintenance fee paid by the senior
locator at the time of filing the location notice referred to
in subsection (d) was less than the amount required to be
paid by such locator.
(i) Extent of Mineral Deposit.--The boundaries of a mining
claim located under this Act shall extend vertically
downward.

located under this Act for lands encumbered by a prior mining
claim or mill site located under the general mining laws,
such lands shall become part of the claim located under this
Act if the claim or mill site located under the general
mining laws is declared null and void under this section or
is otherwise declared null and void thereafter.
(e) Conflicts.--(1) Any conflicts in existence before the
effective date of this Act between holders of mining claims,
mill sites and tunnel sites located under the general mining
laws shall be subject to, and shall be resolved in accordance
with, applicable laws governing such conflicts in effect
before the effective date of enactment of this Act in a court
of proper jurisdiction.
(2) Any conflicts not relating to matters provided for
under section 103(h) between the holders of a mining claim
located under this Act and a mining claim, mill, or tunnel

of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 with respect
to that claim and with respect to the same period.
(e) Waiver.--(1) The claim maintenance fee required under
this section may be waived for a claim holder who certifies
in writing to the Secretary that on the date the payment was
due, the claim holder and all related parties held not more
than 10 mining claims on lands open to location. Such
certification shall be made on or before the date on which
payment is due.
(2) For purposes of paragraph (1), with respect to any

the lands such claim holder included in a forfeited claim for
1 year from the date such claim is deemed forfeited.
(c) Relinquishment.--A claim holder deciding not to pursue
mineral activities on a claim may relinquish such claim by
notifying the Secretary. A claim holder relinquishing a claim
is responsible for reclamation as required by section 207 of
this Act and all other applicable requirements. A claim
holder who relinquishes a claim shall not be subject to the
prohibition of subsection (b) of this section unless the
Secretary determines that the claim is being relinquished and
relocated for the purpose of avoiding compliance with any
provision of this Act, including payment of the claim
maintenance fee.

it distinct and special value within the meaning of section
3(a) of the Act of July 23, 1955 (as in effect prior to the
date of enactment of this Act), or if such claim was located
for a mineral that was not locatable under the general mining
laws before the effective date of this Act.
(2) The Secretary may initiate contest proceedings against
those mining claims referred to in paragraph (1) at any time,
except that nothing in this subsection may be construed as
requiring the Secretary to inquire into, or contest, the
validity of a mining claim for the purpose of the conversion
referred to in section 104, except as provided in section
412.
(3) Nothing in this subsection may be construed as limiting
any contest proceedings initiated by the United States on
issues other than discovery, or any contest proceedings filed
before the effective date of this Act.
(4) Any contest proceeding initiated pursuant to paragraph
(1) shall determine whether the mining claim or claims
subject to such proceeding supported a discovery of a
valuable mineral deposit within the meaning of the general
mining laws on the effective date of this Act.

continuing sufficiency of any mining claim under this
section, the claim holder shall have the burden of showing
each of the following:
(A) The lands or interests in lands included in the mining
claim are not used predominantly for recreational,
residential or other purposes rather than for mineral
activities and are being held in good faith for the ultimate
exploration for, development of, or production of locatable
minerals, as demonstrated by the claimholder or his or her
assigns through showings satisfactory to the Secretary.
(B) The claim holder or operator does not restrict access
to the lands or interests in lands included in the mining
claim in a manner that is not required for mineral
activities.
(C) The mineral being or to be mined on the mining claim is
a locatable mineral (unless such lands are used for
beneficiation or processing).
(D) The claim holder or operator has not constructed,
improved, maintained or used a structure located on a mining
claim in a manner not specifically authorized by the
Secretary in accordance with this Act.
(3) Any mining claim for which the claim holder fails to
demonstrate continued sufficiency, in the determination of
the Secretary, pursuant to subsection (b) of this section,
shall thereupon be deemed forfeited and be declared null and
void.
(c) Remedies.--(1) The Secretary may assess a civil penalty
of not more than $5,000 per claim against the claimholder
upon declaring a mining claim null and void pursuant to
subsection (b) of this section.
(2) Upon declaring a mining claim null and void pursuant to
subsection (b), the Secretary shall provide a reasonable
opportunity for the mining claim holder or operator to remove
any real or personal property which such person had
previously placed upon the claim. If the property is not
removed within the time provided, the Secretary may retain
the property or provide for its disposition or destruction.
(d) Other Law.--The Secretary shall take such actions as
may be necessary to ensure the compliance by claim holders
with section 4 of the Act of July 23, 1955 (30 U.S.C. 612),
consistent with this section.

plan upon a determination that the requirements of this Act
cannot be met if the plan is followed as approved. Such
determination shall be based on a written finding and subject
to notice and hearing requirements established by the
Secretary concerned.
(g) Temporary Cessation of Operations.--(1) No operator
conducting mineral activities under an operations permit in
effect under this title may temporarily cease mineral
activities for a period of 180 days or more under an
operations permit unless the Secretary concerned has approved
such temporary cessation or unless the temporary cessation is
permitted under the original permit. Any operator temporarily
ceasing mineral activities for a period of 180 days or more
under an existing operations permit shall submit, before the
expiration of such 180-day period, a complete application for
temporary cessation of operations to the Secretary concerned
for approval unless the temporary cessation is permitted
under the original permit.
(2) An application for approval of temporary cessation of
operations shall include such provisions as prescribed by the
Secretary concerned, including but not limited to the steps
that shall be taken during the cessation of operations period
to minimize impacts on the environment. After receipt of a
complete application for temporary cessation of operations
such Secretary shall conduct an inspection of the area for
which temporary cessation of operations has been requested.
(3) To approve an application for temporary cessation of
operations, the Secretary concerned shall make each of the
following determinations:
(A) A determination that the methods for securing surface
facilities and restricting access to the permit area, or
relevant portions thereof, will effectively ensure against
hazards to the health and safety of the public and fish and
wildlife.
(B) A determination that reclamation is in compliance with
the approved reclamation plan, except in those areas
specifically designated in the application for temporary
cessation of operations for which a delay in meeting such
standards is necessary to facilitate the resumption of
operations.
(C) A determination that the amount of financial assurance
filed with the permit application is sufficient to assure
completion of the reclamation activities identified in the
approved reclamation plan in the event of forfeiture.
(D) A determination that any outstanding notices of
violation and cessation orders incurred in connection with
the plan for which temporary cessation is being requested are
either stayed pursuant to an administrative or judicial
appeal proceeding or are in the process of being abated to
the satisfaction of the Secretary concerned.

System lands the Secretary of Agriculture, shall review each
permit issued under this section every 3 years during the
term of such permit and, based upon a written finding, such
Secretary may require the operator to take such actions as
the Secretary deems necessary to assure that mineral
activities conform to the permit, including adjustment of
financial assurance requirements.
(i) Fees.--Each application for a permit pursuant to this
section shall be accompanied by a fee payable to the
Secretary of the Interior in such amount as may be
established by such Secretary. Such amount shall be equal to
the actual or anticipated cost to
[[Page 1704]]
the Secretary, or for National Forest System lands the
Secretary of Agriculture, of reviewing, administering, and
enforcing such permit, as determined by the Secretary of the
Interior. All moneys received under this subsection shall be

sale, as determined by the Secretary of the Interior. All
moneys received under this subsection shall be deposited in
the Abandoned Locatable Minerals Mine Reclamation Fund
established under title III of this Act.
SEC. 205. PERSONS INELIGIBLE FOR PERMITS.
(a) Current Violations.--Unless corrective action has been
taken in accordance with subsection (c), no permit under this
title shall be issued or transferred to an applicant if the
applicant or any agent of the applicant, the operator (if
different than the applicant) of the claim concerned, any
claim holder (if different than the applicant) of the claim
concerned, or any affiliate or officer or director of the
applicant is currently in violation of any of the following:
(1) A provision of this Act or any regulation under this
Act.
(2) An applicable toxic substance, solid waste, air, water
quality, or fish and wildlife conservation law or regulation
at any site where mining, beneficiation, or processing

(b) Suspension.--The Secretary, or for National Forest
System lands the Secretary of Agriculture, shall suspend an
exploration permit or an operations permit, in whole or in
part, if such Secretary determines that any of the entities
described in subsection (a) were in violation of any
requirement listed in subsection (a) at the time the permit
was issued.
(c) Correction.--(1) The Secretary, or for National Forest
System lands the Secretary of Agriculture, may issue or
reinstate a permit under this title if the applicant submits
proof that the violation referred to in subsection (a) or (b)
has been corrected or is in the process of being corrected to
the satisfaction of such Secretary or if the applicant
submits proof that the violator has filed and is presently
pursuing, a direct administrative or judicial appeal to
contest the existence of the violation. For purposes of this
section, an appeal of any applicant's relationship to an
affiliate shall not constitute a direct administrative or
judicial appeal to contest the existence of the violation.
(2) Any permit which is issued or reinstated based upon
proof submitted under this subsection shall be conditionally
approved or conditionally reinstated, as the case may be. If
the violation is not successfully abated or the violation is
upheld on appeal, the permit shall be suspended or revoked.
(d) Pattern of Willful Violations.--No permit under this
Act may be issued to any applicant if there is a demonstrated
pattern of willful violations of the surface management
requirements of this Act by the applicant, any affiliate of
the applicant, or the operator or claim holder if different
than the applicant, and such violations are of such nature
and duration, and with such resulting irreparable damage to
the environment, as to clearly indicate an intent not to
comply with the surface management requirements.
SEC. 206. FINANCIAL ASSURANCE.
(a) Financial Assurance Required.--(1) Before any permit is
issued under this title, the operator shall file with the
Secretary, or for National Forest System lands the Secretary
of Agriculture, evidence of financial assurance payable to
the United States on a form prescribed and furnished by such
Secretary and conditional upon faithful performance of such
permit and all other requirements of this Act. The financial
assurance shall be provided in the form of a surety bond,
trust fund, letters of credits, government securities, cash
or equivalent.
(2) The financial assurance shall cover all lands within
the initial permit area and shall be extended to cover all
lands added pursuant to any permit modification made under
section 203(f), section 204(f), or section 204(h). The
financial assurance shall cover all lands to be affected by
mineral activities as described and depicted in the permit
application.
(b) Amount.--The amount of the financial assurance required
under this section shall be sufficient to assure the
completion of reclamation satisfying the requirements of this
Act if the work were to be performed by the Secretary
concerned in the event of forfeiture. The calculation of such
amount shall take into account the maximum level of financial
exposure which shall arise during the mineral activity.
(c) Duration.--The financial assurance required under this
section shall be held for the duration of the mineral
activities and for an additional period to cover the
operator's responsibility for revegetation as specified under
subsection 207(b)(6)(B), and effluent treatment as specified
in subsection (g).
(d) Adjustments.--The amount of the financial assurance and
the terms of the acceptance of the assurance may be adjusted
by the Secretary concerned from time to time as the area
requiring coverage is increased or decreased, or where the
costs of reclamation or treatment change, or pursuant to
section 204(h), but the financial assurance must otherwise be
in compliance with this section. The Secretary concerned
shall specify periodic times, or set a schedule, for
reevaluating or adjusting the amount of financial assurance.
(e) Release.--Upon request, and after notice and
opportunity for public comment, and after inspection by the
Secretary, or for National Forest System lands the Secretary
of Agriculture, such Secretary may, after consultation with
the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency,
release in whole or in part the financial assurance required
under this section if the Secretary makes both of the
following determinations:
(1) A determination that reclamation covered by the
financial assurance has been accomplished as required by this
Act.
(2) A determination that the operator has declared that the
terms and conditions of any other applicable Federal
requirements, and State requirements applicable pursuant to
cooperative agreements under section 208, have been
fulfilled.
(f) Release Schedule.--The release referred to in
subsection (e) shall be according to the following schedule:
(1) After the operator has completed any required
backfilling, regrading and drainage control of an area
subject to mineral activities and covered by the financial
assurance, and has commenced revegetation on the regraded
areas subject to mineral activities in accordance with the
approved plan, that portion of the total financial assurance
secured for the area subject to mineral activities
attributable to the completed activities may be released.
(2) After the operator has completed successfully all
remaining mineral activities and reclamation activities and
all requirements of the operations plan and the reclamation
plan (including the provisions of section 207(b)(6)(B)
relating to revegetation and effluent treatment required by
subsection (g)), and all other requirements of this Act have
in fact been fully met, the remaining portion of the
financial assurance may be released.
During the period following release of the financial
assurance as specified in paragraph (1), until the remaining
portion of the financial assurance is released as provided in
paragraph (2), the operator shall be required to comply with
the permit issued under this title.
(g) Effluent.--Where any discharge resulting from the
mineral activities requires treatment in order to meet the
applicable effluent limitations, the financial assurance
shall includes the estimated cost of maintaining such
treatment for the projected period that will be needed after
the cessation of mineral activities. The portion of the
financial assurance attributable to such estimated cost of
treatment shall not be released until the discharge has
ceased, or, if the discharge continues, until the operator
has met all applicable effluent limitations and water quality
standards for 5 full years without treatment.
(h) Environmental Hazards.--If the Secretary, or for
National Forest System lands the Secretary of Agriculture,
determines, after final release of financial assurance, that
an environmental hazard resulting from the mineral activities
exists, or the terms and conditions of the operations permit
of this Act were not fulfilled in fact at the time of
release, such Secretary shall issue an order under section
407 requiring the claimholder or operator (or any person who
controls the claimholder or operator) to correct the
condition.
SEC. 207. RECLAMATION.
(a) General Rule.--(1) Except as provided under paragraphs
(5) and (7) of subsection (b), the operator shall restore
lands subject to mineral activities carried out under a
permit issued under this title to a condition capable of
supporting--
(A) the uses, including fish and wildlife habitat uses,
which such lands were capable of supporting prior to surface
disturbance by the operator, or
(B) other beneficial uses which conform to applicable land
use plans as determined by the Secretary or for National
Forest System lands, the Secretary of Agriculture.
[[Page 1705]]
(2) Reclamation shall proceed as contemporaneously as
practicable with the conduct of mineral activities and shall
use, with respect to this subsection and subsection (b), the
best technology currently available. To the extent
practicable, reclamation shall be conducted in a manner that
does not increase the costs or likelihood of a removal or
remedial action under section 101 of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of
1980 or a corrective action under the Solid Waste Disposal
Act.
(b) Reclamation Standards.--Mineral activities shall be
conducted in accordance with the following standards; as well
as any additional standards the Secretaries may jointly
promulgate under section 201 and subsection (a) of this
section to address specific environmental impacts of selected
methods of mining:
(1) Soils.--(A) Soils, including top soils and subsoils
removed from lands subject to mineral activities shall be
segregated from waste material and protected for later use in
reclamation. If such soil 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 soil is preserved from wind and water erosion,
remains free of contamination by acid or other toxic
material, and is in a usable condition for sustaining
vegetation when restored during reclamation.
(B) In the event the topsoil from lands subject to mineral
activities is of insufficient quantity or of inferior quality
for sustaining vegetation, and other suitable growth media
removed from the lands subject to 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.
(C) In the event the soil (other than topsoil) from lands
subject to mineral activities is of insufficient quantity or
of inferior quality for sustaining vegetation, and other
suitable growth media removed from the lands subject to the
mineral activities are available that support revegetation,
these substitute materials shall be removed, segregated or
preserved in a like manner as under subparagraph (A) for
later use in reclamation.
(D) Mineral activities shall be conducted to prevent
contamination of soils to the extent possible using the best
technology currently available. If contamination occurs, the
operator shall decontaminate or dispose of any contaminated
soils which have resulted from the mineral activities.
(2) Stabilization.--All surface areas subject to mineral
activities, including segregated soils or other growth
medium, 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 so as to effectively
control fugitive dust and erosion and otherwise comply with
toxic substance, solid waste, air and water pollution control
laws and other environmental laws.
(3) Sediments, erosion, and drainage.--Facilities such as
but not limited to basins, ditches, stream bank
stabilization, diversions or other measures, shall be
designed, constructed and maintained where necessary to
control sediments, erosion, and drainage of the area subject
to mineral activities.
(4) Hydrologic balance.--(A) Mineral activities shall be
conducted to minimize disturbances to the prevailing
hydrologic balance of the permit area and surrounding
watershed existing prior to the mineral activities in the
permit area and in the surrounding watershed, as established
by the baseline information provided pursuant to section
204(b)(10). Hydrologic balance includes the quality and
quantity of ground water and surface water and their
interrelationships, including recharge and discharge rates.
In all cases, the operator shall comply with Federal and
State laws related to the quality and quantity of such
waters.
(B) Mineral activities shall be conducted using the
technology standard referred to in subsection (a)(2) to
prevent where possible the formation of acidic, toxic or
other contaminated water. Where the formation of acidic,
toxic or other contaminated water occurs despite the use of
such technology standard, mineral activities shall be
conducted using such technology so as to minimize the
formation of acidic, toxic or other contaminated water.
(C) Mineral activities shall prevent any contamination of
surface and ground water with acid or other toxic mine
pollutants and shall prevent or remove water from contact
with acid or toxic producing deposits.
(D) Reclamation shall restore approximate hydrologic
balance existing prior to the mineral activities.
(E) Where the quality of surface water or ground water used
for domestic, municipal, agricultural, or industrial purposes
is adversely impacted by mineral activities, such water shall
be treated, or replaced with the same quantity and
approximate quality of water, comparable to premining
conditions as established in paragraph (10) of section
204(b).
(5) Surface restoration.--(A) The surface area disturbed by
mineral activities shall be shaped, graded, and contoured to
its natural topography. Backfilling of an open pit mine shall
be required only if the Secretary, or for National Forest
System lands the Secretary of Agriculture, finds that such
open pit or partially backfilled, graded, or contoured pit
would pose a significant threat to the public health safety
or have a significant adverse effect on the environment in
terms of surface water or groundwater 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) Vegetation.--(A) The area subject to mineral activities
shall be vegetated in order to establish a diverse, effective
and permanent vegetative cover of the same seasonal variety
native to the area subject to 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, except that introduced species may be used
at the discretion of the Secretary, or for National Forest
System lands the Secretary of Agriculture, in consultation
with the Director, Fish and Wildlife Service, if such
introduction of such species is necessary as an interim step
in, and is part of a program to restore a native plant
community. In such instances where the complete backfill of
an open mine pit is not required under paragraph (5), such
Secretary shall prescribe such vegetation requirements as
conform to the applicable land use plan.
(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
seeding, fertilizing, irrigation or other work, except that
such period shall be 10 full years where the annual average
precipitation is 26 inches or less. The period may be for a
longer time at the discretion of the Secretary concerned
where the average precipitation is 26 inches or less.
(7) Excess waste.--(A) Waste material in excess of that
required to comply with paragraph (5) shall be transported
and placed in approved areas, in a controlled manner in such
a way so as to assure long-term mass stability, to prevent
mass movement and to facilitate reclamation. 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 waste
material piles shall be certified by a qualified professional
engineer.
(B) Excess waste material piles shall be graded and
contoured to blend with the surrounding topography as much as
practicable and revegetated in accordance with paragraph (6).
(8) Sealing.--All drill holes, and openings on the surface
associated with underground mineral activities, shall be
backfilled, sealed or otherwise controlled when no longer
needed for the conduct of mineral activities to ensure
protection of the public and the environment, and management
of fish and wildlife and livestock.
(9) Structures.--All buildings, structures or equipment
constructed, used or improved during mineral activities shall
be removed, unless the Secretary concerned in consultation
with the affected land managing agency, determines that use
of the buildings, structures or equipment would be consistent
with subsection (a) or for environmental monitoring and the
Secretary concerned takes ownership of such structures.
(10) Fish and wildlife.--Fish and wildlife habitat in areas
subject to mineral activities shall be restored in a manner
commensurate with or superior to habitat conditions which
existed prior to the mineral activities, including such
conditions as may be prescribed by the Director, Fish and
Wildlife Service.
(c) Application of Reclamation Standards to Exploration.--
The provisions of this section shall apply to mineral
exploration pursuant to a permit under this Act, except that
paragraphs (5) and (6) of subsection (b) shall not apply
during any interim periods between completion of the approved
exploration and the commencement of further mineral
activities, not to exceed 2 years, if the operator maintains
a sufficient financial assurance to reclaim the disturbed
surface should further mineral activities not be authorized.
The Secretary concerned shall prescribe standards for interim
stabilization and revegetation.
(d) Special Rule.--A modified reclamation plan shall not be
required for mineral activities related to reclamation where
a mining claim is forfeited, relinquished or lapsed, or a
plan is revoked or suspended or has expired in any such case.
Reclamation activities shall continue only as approved by the
Secretary, or for National Forest System lands the Secretary
of Agriculture, pursuant to the previously approved
reclamation plan.
(e) Definitions.--As used in this section:
(1) The term ``best technology currently available'' means
equipment, devices, systems, methods, or techniques which
have demonstrated engineering and economic feasibility,
success and practicality. Within the constraints of the
surface management requirements of this Act, the Secretary,
or for National Forest System lands the Secretary of
Agriculture, shall have the discretion to determine the best
technology currently available on a case-by-case basis.
(2) The term ``waste material'' means the material
resulting from mineral activities involving extraction,
beneficiation and processing, including but not limited to
tailings, and such material resulting from mineral activities
involving processing, to the extent such material is not
subject to subtitle C of the Solid Waste Disposal Act or the
Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act.
(3) The term ``ore piles'' means ore stockpiled for
beneficiation prior to the completion of mineral activities.
[[Page 1706]]

Act of 1976, and the Secretary of Agriculture, in carrying
out the Secretary's responsibilities under the Forest and
Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act of 1974, as
amended by the National Forest Management Act of 1976, shall
each review lands that are subject to this Act in order to
determine, in accordance with the provisions of subsection
(b), whether there are any areas on such lands which are
either unsuitable for all types of mineral activities or
conditionally suitable for certain types of mineral
activities.
(2) Any determination made in accordance with subsection
(b) shall be immediately effective. Such determination shall
be incorporated into the applicable land use plan when such
plan is adopted, revised, or significantly amended pursuant
to provisions of law other than this Act.

deposited in the Fund.
(g) Delegation.--For the purposes of this section, the term
``Secretary'' means the Secretary of the Interior acting
through the Director of the Minerals Management Service.
(h) Expanded Royalty Obligations.--Each person liable for
royalty payments under this section shall be jointly and
severally liable for royalty on all locatable minerals,
concentrates, or products derived therefrom lost or wasted
from a mining claim located or converted under this section
when such loss or waste is due to negligence on the part of
any person or due to the failure to comply with any rule,
regulation, or order issued under this section.
(i) Exception.--No royalty shall be payable under
subsection (a) with respect to minerals processed at a
facility by the same person or entity which extracted the
minerals if an urban development action grant has been made
under section 119 of the Housing and Community Development
Act of 1974 with respect to any portion of such facility.
(j) Definition.--For the proposes of this section, for any
locatable mineral, the term ``net smelter return'' shall have

have the discretion to modify the inspection frequency for
mineral activities that are conducted on a seasonal basis.
Inspections shall continue under this subsection until final
release of financial assurance.
(3)(A) Any person who has reason to believe he or she is or
may be adversely affected by mineral activities due to any
violation of the surface management requirements may request
an inspection. The Secretary, or for National Forest System
lands the Secretary of Agriculture, shall determine within 10
working days of receipt of the request whether the request
states a reason to believe that a violation exists. If the
person alleges and provides reason to believe that an
imminent threat to the environment or danger to the health or
safety of the public exists, the 10-day period shall be
waived and the inspection shall be conducted immediately.
When an inspection is conducted under this paragraph, the
Secretary concerned shall notify the person requesting the
inspection, and such person shall be allowed to accompany the
Secretary concerned or the Secretary's authorized
representative during the inspection. The Secretary shall not
incur any liability for allowing such person to accompany an
authorized representative. The identity of the person
supplying information to the Secretary relating to a possible
violation or imminent danger or harm shall remain
confidential with the Secretary if so requested by that
person, unless that person elects to accompany an authorized
representative on the inspection.
(B) The Secretaries shall, by joint rule, establish
procedures for the review of (i) any decision by an
authorized representative not to inspect or (ii) any refusal
by such representative to ensure that remedial actions are
taken with respect to any alleged violation. The Secretary
concerned shall furnish such persons requesting the review a
written statement of the reasons for the Secretary's final
disposition of the case.
(b) Monitoring.--(1) The Secretary, or for National Forest
System lands the Secretary of Agriculture, shall require all
operators to develop and maintain a monitoring and evaluation
system which shall identify compliance with all surface
management requirements.
(2) Monitoring shall be conducted as close as technically
feasible to the mineral activity involved, and in all cases
such monitoring shall be conducted within the permit area.
(3) The point of compliance referred to in paragraph (1)
shall be as close to the mineral activity involved as is
technically feasible, but in any event shall be located to
comply with applicable State and Federal standards. In no
event shall the point of compliance be outside the permit
area.
(4) The Secretary concerned may require additional
monitoring be conducted as necessary to assure compliance
with the reclamation and other environmental standards of
this Act.
(5) The operator shall file reports with the Secretary, or
for National Forest System lands the Secretary of
Agriculture, on a frequency determined by the Secretary
concerned, on the results of the monitoring and evaluation
process, except that if the monitoring and evaluation show a
violation of the surface management requirements, it shall be
reported immediately to the Secretary concerned. Information
received pursuant to this subsection from any natural person
shall not be used against any such natural person in any
criminal case, except a prosecution for perjury or for giving
a false statement. The Secretary shall evaluate the reports
submitted pursuant to this paragraph, and based on those
reports and any necessary inspection shall take enforcement
action pursuant to this section.
(6) The Secretary, or for National Forest System lands the
Secretary of Agriculture, shall determine what information
must be reported by the operator pursuant to paragraph (5). A
failure to report as required by the Secretary concerned
shall constitute a violation of this Act and subject the
operator to enforcement action pursuant to section 407.

concerned.
The United States district courts shall have jurisdiction
over actions brought under this section, without regard to
the amount in controversy or the citizenship of the parties,
including actions brought to apply any civil penalty under
this Act. The district courts of the United States shall have
jurisdiction to compel agency action unreasonably delayed,
except that an action to compel agency action reviewable
under section 406 may only be filed in a United States
District Court within the circuit in which such action would
be reviewable under section 406.
(b) Exceptions.--(1) No action may be commenced under
subsection (a) prior to 60 days
[[Page 1710]]
after the plaintiff has given notice in writing of such
alleged violation to the Secretary, or for National Forest

law to bring an action to seek any relief against the
Secretary or the Secretary of Agriculture or against any
other person, including any action for any violation of this
Act or of any regulation or permit issued under this Act or
for any failure to act as required by law. Nothing in this
section shall affect the jurisdiction of any court under any
provision of title 28 of the United States Code, including
any action for any violation of this Act or of any regulation
or permit issued under this Act or for any failure to act as
required by law. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to be
a waiver of the sovereign immunity of an Indian tribe except
as provided for in section 202(c).
SEC. 406. ADMINISTRATIVE AND JUDICIAL REVIEW.
(a) Review by Secretary.--(1)(A) Any person issued a notice
of violation or cessation order under section 407, or any
person having an interest which is or may be adversely
affected by such notice or order, may apply to the Secretary,
or for National Forest System lands the Secretary of
Agriculture, for review of the notice or order within 30 days
of receipt thereof, or as the case may be, within 30 days of
such notice or order being modified, vacated or terminated.
(B) Any person who is subject to a penalty assessed under
section 106, section 107(c), or section 407 may apply to the
Secretary concerned for review of the assessment within 30
days of notification of such penalty.
(C) Any person having an interest which is or may be
adversely affected by a decision made by the Secretary or the
Secretary of Agriculture under section 203, 204, 205, 206,
209, or 404(a)(3) may apply to such Secretary for review of
the decision within 30 days after it is made.
(2) The Secretary concerned shall provide an opportunity
for a public hearing at the request of any party to the
proceeding as specified in paragraph (1). The filing of an
application for review under this subsection shall not
operate as a stay of any order or notice issued under section
407.
(3) For any review proceeding under this subsection, the
Secretary concerned shall make findings of fact and shall
issue a written decision incorporating therein an order
vacating, affirming, modifying or terminating the notice,
order or decision, or with respect to an assessment, the
amount of penalty that is warranted. Where the application
for review concerns a cessation order issued under section
407, the Secretary concerned shall issue the written decision
within 30 days of the receipt of the application for review
or within 30 days after the conclusion of any hearing
referred to in paragraph (2), whichever is later, unless
temporary relief has been granted by the Secretary concerned
under paragraph (4).
(4) Pending completion of any review proceedings under this
subsection, the applicant may file with the Secretary, or for
National Forest System lands the Secretary of Agriculture, a
written request that the Secretary grant temporary relief
from any order issued under section 407 together with a
detailed statement giving reasons for such relief. The
Secretary concerned shall expeditiously issue an order or
decision granting or denying such relief. The Secretary
concerned may grant such relief under such conditions as he
may prescribe only if such relief shall not adversely affect
the health or safety of the public or cause significant,
imminent environmental harm to land, air or water resources.
(5) The availability of review under this subsection shall
not be construed to limit the operation of rights under
section 405.
(b) Judicial Review.--(1) Any final action by the
Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture in promulgating
regulations to implement this Act, or any other final actions
constituting rulemaking to implement this Act, shall be
subject to judicial review only in the United States Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia. Any action subject to
judicial review under this subsection shall be affirmed
unless the court concludes that such action is arbitrary,
capricious, or otherwise inconsistent with law. A petition
for review of any action subject to judicial review under
this subsection shall be filed within 60 days from the date
of such action, or after such date if the petition is based
solely on grounds arising after the sixtieth day. Any such
petition may be made by any person who commented or otherwise
participated in the rulemaking or any person who may be
adversely affected by the action of the Secretaries.
(2) Final agency action under this Act, including such
final action on those matters described under subsection (a),
shall be subject to judicial review in accordance with
paragraph (4) and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1391 of the United
States Code on or before 60 days from the date of such final
action. Any action subject to judicial review under this
subsection shall be affirmed unless the court concludes that
such action is arbitrary, capricious, or otherwise
inconsistent with law.
(3) The availability of judicial review established in this
subsection shall not be construed to limit the operations of
rights under section 405 (relating to citizens suits).
(4) The court shall hear any petition or complaint filed
under this subsection solely on the record made before the
Secretary or Secretaries concerned. The court may affirm or
vacate any order or decision or may remand the proceedings to
the Secretary or Secretaries for such further action as it
may direct.
(5) The commencement of a proceeding under this section
shall not, unless specifically ordered by the court, operate
as a stay of the action, order or decision of the Secretary
or Secretaries concerned.
(c) Costs.--Whenever a proceeding occurs under subsection
(a) or (b), at the request of any person, a sum equal to the
aggregate amount of all costs and expenses (including
attorney fees) as determined by the Secretary or Secretaries
concerned or the court to have been reasonably incurred by
such person for or in connection with participation in such
proceedings, including any judicial review of the proceeding,
may be assessed against either party as the court, in the
case of judicial review, or the Secretary or Secretaries
concerned in the case of administrative proceedings, deems
proper if it is determined that such party prevailed in whole
or in part, achieving some success on the merits, and that
such party made a substantial contribution to a full and fair
determination of the issues.
SEC. 407. ENFORCEMENT.
(a) Orders.--(1) If the Secretary, or for National Forest
System lands the Secretary of Agriculture, or an authorized
representative of such Secretary, determines that any person
is in violation of any surface management or monitoring
requirement, such Secretary or authorized representative
shall issue to such person a notice of violation describing
the violation and the corrective measures to be taken. The
Secretary concerned, or the authorized representative of such
Secretary, shall provide such person with a period of time
not to exceed 30 days to abate the violation. Such period of
time may be extended by the Secretary concerned upon a
showing of good cause by such person. If, upon the expiration
of time provided for such abatement, the Secretary concerned,
or the authorized representative of such Secretary, 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 concerned, or the authorized
representative of the Secretary concerned, determines that
any condition or practice exists, or that any person is in
violation of any surface management or monitoring
requirement, 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
public; or
(B) significant, imminent environmental harm to land, air,
water, fish or wildlife resources;
such Secretary or authorized representative shall immediately
order a cessation of min-
[[Page 1711]]
eral activities or the portion thereof relevant to the
condition, practice or violation.
(3)(A) A cessation order pursuant to paragraphs (1) or (2)
shall remain in effect until such Secretary, or authorized
representative, determines that the condition, practice or
violation has been abated, or until modified, vacated or
terminated by the Secretary or authorized representative. In
any such order, the Secretary or authorized representative
shall determine the steps necessary to abate the violation in
the most expeditious manner possible and shall include the
necessary measures in the order. The Secretary concerned
shall require appropriate financial assurances to ensure 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 concerned or an authorized representative of such
Secretary. Any person to whom any such notice or order is
issued 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 concerned shall take such alternative
enforcement action against the claimholder or operator (or
any person who controls the claimholder or operator) as will
most likely bring about abatement in the most expeditious
manner possible. Such alternative enforcement action may
include, but is not necessarily limited to, seeking
appropriate injunctive relief to bring about abatement.
Nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Secretary, or
for National Forest System lands the Secretary of
Agriculture, from taking alternative enforcement action prior
to the expiration of 30 days.
(5) If a claimholder or operator (or any person who
controls the claimholder or operator) fails to abate a
violation or defaults on the terms of the permit, the
Secretary, or for National Forest System lands the Secretary
of Agriculture, shall forfeit the financial assurance for the
plan as necessary to ensure abatement and reclamation under
this Act. The Secretary concerned may prescribe conditions
under which a surety may perform reclamation in accordance
with the approved plan in lieu of forfeiture.
(6) The Secretary, or for National Forest System lands the
Secretary of Agriculture, shall not cause forfeiture of the
financial assurance while administrative or judicial review
is pending.
(7) In the event of forfeiture, the claim holder, operator,
or any affiliate thereof, as appropriate as determined by the
Secretary by rule, shall be jointly and severally liable for
any remaining reclamation obligations under this Act.
(b) Compliance.--The Secretary, or for National Forest
System lands the Secretary of Agriculture, may request the
Attorney General to institute a civil action for relief,
including a permanent or temporary injunction or restraining
order, or any other appropriate enforcement order, including
the imposition of civil penalties, in the district court of
the United States for the district in which the mineral
activities are located whenever a person--
(1) violates, fails or refuses to comply with any order
issued by the Secretary concerned under subsection (a); or
(2) interferes with, hinders or delays the Secretary
concerned in carrying out an inspection under section 404.
Such court shall have jurisdiction to provide such relief as
may be appropriate. Any relief granted by the court to
enforce an order under paragraph (1) shall continue in effect
until the completion or final termination of all proceedings
for review of such order unless the district court granting
such relief sets it aside.
(c) Delegation.--Notwithstanding any other provision of
law, the Secretary may utilize personnel of the Office of
Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement to ensure
compliance with the requirements of this Act.
(d) Penalties.--(1) Any person who fails to comply with any
surface management requirement shall be liable for a penalty
of not more than $25,000 per violation. Each day of violation
may be deemed a separate violation for purposes of penalty
assessments.
(2) A person who fails to correct a violation for which a
cessation order has been issued under subsection (a) 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.
(3) Whenever a corporation is in violation of a surface
management requirement or fails or refuses to comply with an
order issued under subsection (a), any director, officer or
agent of such corporation who knowingly authorized, ordered,
or carried out such violation, failure or refusal shall be
subject to the same penalties as may be imposed upon the
person referred to in paragraph (1).
(e) Suspensions or Revocations.--The Secretary, or for
National Forest System lands the Secretary of Agriculture,
may suspend or revoke a permit issued under title II, in
whole or in part, if the operator or person conducting
mineral activities--
(1) knowingly made or knowingly makes any false,
inaccurate, or misleading material statement in any mining
claim, notice of location, application, record, report, plan,
or other document filed or required to be maintained under
this Act;
(2) fails to abate a violation covered by a cessation order
issued under subsection (a);
(3) fails to comply with an order of the Secretary
concerned;
(4) refuses to permit an audit pursuant to this Act;
(5) fails to maintain an adequate financial assurance under
section 206;
(6) fails to pay claim maintenance fees or other moneys due
and owing under this Act; or
(7) with regard to plans conditionally approved under
section 205(c)(2), fails to abate a violation to the
satisfaction of the Secretary concerned, or if the validity
of the violation is upheld on the appeal which formed the
basis for the conditional approval.
(f) False Statements; Tampering.--Any person who
knowingly--
(1) makes any false material statement, representation, or
certification in, or omits or conceals material information
from, or unlawfully alters, any mining claim, notice of
location, application, record, report, plan, or other
documents filed or required to be maintained under this Act;
or
(2) falsifies, tampers with, renders inaccurate, or fails
to install any monitoring device or method be required to be
maintained under this Act,

committed after a first conviction of such person under this
paragraph, punishment shall be by a fine of not more than
$20,000 per day of violation, or by imprisonment of not more
than 4 years, or both. Each day of continuing violation may
be deemed a separate violation for purposes of penalty
assessments.
(g) Knowing Violations.--Any person who knowingly--
(1) engages in mineral activities without a permit required
under title II, or
(2) violates any other surface management requirement of
this Act or any provision of a permit issued under this Act
(including any exploration or operations plan on which such
permit is based), or condition or limitation thereof,
shall upon conviction be punished by a fine of not less than
$5,000 nor more than $50,000 per day of violation, or by
imprisonment for not more than 3 years, or both. If a
conviction of a person is for a violation committed after the
first conviction of such person under this paragraph,
punishment shall be a fine of not less than $10,000 per day
of violation, or by imprisonment of not more than 6 years, or
both.
(h) Failure To Comply With Royalty Requirements.--(1) Any
person who fails to comply with the requirements of section
306 or any regulation or order issued to implement section
306 shall be liable for a civil penalty under section 109 of
the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act (30 U.S.C.
1719) to the same extent as if the claim located or converted
under this Act were a lease under that Act.
(2) Any person who knowingly and willfully commits an act
for which a civil penalty is provided in paragraph (1) shall,
upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not more than
$50,000, or by imprisonment for not more than 2 years, or
both.

After some further time,
Para. 136.12 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. SMITH of New Jersey:
Strike all after the enacting clause and insert the
following:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Clinic Violence and
Obstruction Prevention Act of 1993''.
SEC. 2. PREVENTION OF VIOLENCE AND OBSTRUCTION AT
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH FACILITIES.
Chapter 13 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by
adding at the end the following:
``Sec. 248. Preventing violence and obstruction at
reproductive health facilities
``(a) Prohibited Activities.--Whoever--
``(1) by force or threat of force, intentionally injures,
intimidates, or physically obstructs any person, or attempts
to do so, because that person or any other person is lawfully
providing or obtaining reproductive health services;
``(2) by force or threat of force, intentionally injures,
intimidates, or physically obstructs any person who is
lawfully engaging in activity protected by the first article
of amendment to the Constitution, or attempts to do so--
``(A) in or on, or within 500 feet of, a facility lawfully
providing reproductive health services; or
``(B) in or on, or within 300 feet of, the residence of a
person lawfully providing or obtaining reproductive health
services; or
``(3) intentionally damages or destroys the property of a
facility that is providing reproductive health services, or
attempts to do so;
shall be punished as provided in subsection (b) of this
section and shall also be subject to the civil remedy
provided in subsection (c) of this section, except that a
parent or legal guardian of a minor shall not be subject to
any penalties or civil remedies under this section for such
activities insofar as they are directed exclusively at that
minor.
``(b) Penalties.--Whoever violates subsection (a) of this
section shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not
more than 1 year, or both, except that, if bodily injury
results, the length of imprisonment shall be not more than 10
years, and if death results, it shall be for any term of
years or for life.
``(c) Civil Actions.--
``(1) Right of action generally.--Any person who is
aggrieved by a violation of subsection (a) of this section
may in a civil action obtain relief under this subsection.
``(2) Action by attorney general.--If the Attorney General
has reasonable cause to believe that any person, or group of
persons is being, has been, or may be injured by conduct
constituting a violation of this section, and such conduct
raises an issue of general public importance, the Attorney
General may commence a civil action and obtain relief under
this subsection.
``(3) Relief.--(A) In any action under this subsection, the
court may award any appropriate relief, including temporary,
preliminary, or permanent injunctive relief, subject to
subparagraph (B), and compensatory damages for each person
aggrieved by the violation.
``(B) No court may issue a temporary, preliminary, or
permanent injunction in any case involving or growing out of
a demonstration within 500 feet of a facility providing
reproductive health services or within 300 feet of the
residence of a person lawfully engaging in activity protected
under subsection (a)(1), except--
``(i) after hearing the testimony of witnesses in open
court in support of the allegations of a complaint made under
oath and the testimony offered in opposition thereto, and the
granting to opposing parties of the right to cross-examine
such witness; and
``(ii) after the court has made and filed with the record
in the case findings of fact to the effect that--
``(I) unlawful acts have been threatened and will be
committed, or have been committed and will be continued,
unless restrained;
``(II) substantial irreparable injury to complainant's
person or property will follow;
``(III) as to each item of relief granted, greater injury
will be inflicted upon complainant by the denial of relief
that will be inflicted upon defendants by the granting of
relief; and
``(IV) complainant has no adequate remedy at law.
No such restraining order or injunction maybe issued on
account of any threat or unlawful act except against a person
making the threat or committing the unlawful act or
authorizing or ratifying the same with actual knowledge
thereof. Every restraining order or injunction granted in a
case involving or growing out of a demonstration within 500
feet of a facility providing reproductive health services or
within 300 feet of the residence of a person lawfully
engaging in activity protected under subsection (a)(1) shall
include only a prohibition of such specific conduct as may be
expressly complained of in the complaint filed in such case
and as shall be expressly included in the findings of fact.
``(d) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall
be construed to prohibit or limit any expressive conduct
(including peaceful picketing or other peaceful
demonstration) protected from legal prohibition by the first
article of amendment to the Constitution.
``(e) Non-Preemption.--Congress does not intend this
section to provide the exclusive remedies with respect to the
conduct prohibited by it, nor to preempt the legislation of
the States that may provide such remedies.
``(f) Definitions.--As used in this section, the following
definitions apply:
``(1) Reproductive health services.--The term `reproductive
health services' means reproductive health services provided
in a hospital, clinic, physician's office, or other facility,
and includes medical, surgical, counselling or referral
services relating to the human reproductive system.
``(2) Facility.--The term `facility' includes the building
or structure in which the facility is located.
``(3) Physically obstructs.--The term `physically
obstructs' means rendering impassable--
``(A) ingress or egress, or rendering passage unreasonably
difficult; or
``(B) public ways or traditional public fora or rendering
passage through public ways or traditional public fora
unreasonably difficult.
``(4) State.--The term `State' includes a State of the
United States, the District of Columbia, and any
commonwealth, territory, or possession of the United
States.''.
SEC. 3. EFFECTIVE DATE.
This Act takes effect on the date of the enactment of this
Act, and shall apply only with respect to conduct occurring
on or after such date.
SEC. 4. CLERICAL AMENDMENT.
The table of sections at the beginning of chapter 13 of
title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end
the following new item:
``248. Preventing violence and obstruction at reproductive health
facilities.''.

Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986, helped bring about
reforms in that system of government and has facilitated the
establishment of a nonracial government.
(3) Through broad and open negotiations, the parties in
South Africa have reached a landmark agreement on the future
of their country. This agreement includes the establishment
of a Transitional Executive Council and the setting of a date
for nonracial elections.
(4) The international community has a vital interest in
supporting the transition from apartheid toward nonracial
democracy.
(5) The success of the transition in South Africa is
crucial to the stability and economic development of the
southern African region.
(6) Nelson Mandela of the African National Congress and
other representative leaders in South Africa have declared
that the time has come when the international community
should lift all economic sanctions against South Africa.
(7) In light of recent developments, the continuation of
these economic sanctions is detrimental to persons
disadvantaged by apartheid.
(8) Those calling for the lifting of economic sanctions
against South Africa have made clear that they do not seek
the immediate termination of the United Nations-sponsored
special sanctions relating to arms transfers, nuclear
cooperation, and exports of oil. The Ad Hoc Committee on
Southern Africa of the Organization of African Unity, for
example, has urged that the oil embargo established pursuant
to a 1986 General Assembly resolution be lifted after the
establishment and commencement of the work of the
Transitional Executive Council.
SEC. 3. UNITED STATES POLICY.
It is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) the United States should--
(A) strongly support the Transitional Executive Council in
South Africa,
(B) encourage rapid progress toward the establishment of a
nonracial democratic government in South Africa, and
(C) support a consolidation of democracy in South Africa
through democratic elections for an interim government and a
new nonracial constitution;
(2) the United States should continue to provide assistance
to support the transition to a nonracial democracy in South
Africa, and should urge international financial institutions
and other donors to also provide such assistance;
(3) to the maximum extent practicable, the United States
should consult closely with international financial
institutions, other
[[Page 1724]]
donors, and South African entities on a coordinated strategy
to support the transition to a nonracial democracy in South
Africa;
(4) in order to provide ownership and managerial
opportunities, professional advancement, training, and
employment for disadvantaged South Africans and to respond to
the historical inequities created under apartheid, the United
States should--
(A) promote the expansion of private enterprise and free
markets in South Africa,
(B) encourage the South African private sector to take a
special responsibility and interest in providing such
opportunities, advancement, training, and employment for
disadvantaged South Africans,
(C) encourage United States private sector investment in
and trade with South Africa,
(D) urge United States investors to develop a working
partnership with representative organs of South African civil
society, particularly churches and trade unions, in promoting
responsible codes of corporate conduct and other measures to
address the historical inequities created under apartheid;
(5) the United States should urge the Government of South
Africa to liberalize its trade and investment policies to
facilitate the expansion of the economy, and to shift
resources to meet the needs of disadvantaged South Africans;
(6) the United States should promote cooperation between
South Africa and other countries in the region to foster
regional stability and economic growth; and
(7) the United States should demonstrate its support for an
expedited transition to, and should adopt a long term policy
beneficial to the establishment and perpetuation of, a
nonracial democracy in South Africa.

of, or the expenditure of funds for, United States Government
contracts.

The question being put, viva voce,
Will the House agree to the amendment in the nature of a substitute?
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, announced that the yeas had it.
The bill, as amended, was ordered to be engrossed and read a third
time, was read a third time by title, and passed.
The question being put, viva voce,
Will the House pass said bill?
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, announced that the yeas had it.
So the bill was passed.
A motion to reconsider the vote whereby the bill was passed was, by
unanimous consent, laid on the table.
Ordered, That the Clerk request the concurrence of the Senate in said

Para. 137.9 message from the president--u.s.-russia fishery 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:
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 Russian Federation Amending and
Extending the Agreement on Mutual Fisheries Relations of May 31, 1988.
The agreement, which was effected by an exchange of notes at Washington
on March 11 and September 15, 1993, extends the 1988 agreement through
December 31, 1998. This agreement also amends the 1988 agreement by
simplifying the provisions relating to the issuance of licenses by each
Party to vessels of the other Party that wish to conduct operations in
its 200-mile zone and by adding the requirement that the Parties
exchange data relating to such fishing operations. 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.
The agreement provides opportunities for nationals and vessels from
each country to continue to conduct fisheries activities on a reciprocal
basis in the other country's waters. The agreement also continues a
framework for cooperation between the two countries on other fisheries
issues of mutual concern. Since the 1988 agreement expired October 28,
1993, and U.S. fishermen are conducting operations in Russian waters, I
strongly recommend that the Congress consider issuance of a joint
resolution to bring this agreement into force at an early date.
William J. Clinton.
The White House, November 19, 1993.
By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying
papers, was referred to the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries
and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 103-172).
Para. 137.10 providing for the consideration of h.r. 3351
Mr. GORDON, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the

Safe Streets Act of 1968 to allow grants for the purpose of
developing alternative methods of punishment for young

printed in part 2 of the report of the Committee on Rules.
Each amendment may be offered only in the order printed in
the report, may be offered only by a Member designated in the
report, shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for
the time specified in the report equally divided and
controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall not be

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

part, involved conduct proscribed by section 420 of the
Controlled Substances Act which was committed directly by the
defendant or for which the defendant would be liable under
section 2 of this title.
``(8) Lethal adulterant.--The offense involved the
importation, manufacture, or distribution of a controlled
substance (as defined in section 102 of the Controlled
Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802)), mixed with a potentially
lethal adulterant, and the defendant was aware of the
presence of the adulterant.
``Sec. 3593. Special hearing to determine whether to
recommend a sentence of death
``(a) Notice by the Government.--Whenever the Government
intends to seek the death penalty for an offense described in
section 3591, 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
before trial as the court may permit for good cause. If the
court permits a late filing of the notice upon a showing of
good cause, the court shall ensure that the defendant has
adequate time to prepare for trial. The notice shall set
forth the aggravating factor or factors 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.
``(b) Hearing Before a Court or Jury.--When the attorney
for the Government has filed a notice as required under
subsection (a) and the defendant is found guilty of an
offense described in section 3591, the judge who presided at
the trial or before whom the guilty plea was entered, or
another judge if that judge is unavailable, shall conduct a
separate sentencing hearing to determine the punishment to be
imposed. Prior to such a hearing, no presentence report shall
be prepared by the United States Probation Service,
notwithstanding the provisions of the Federal Rules of
Criminal Procedure. The hearing shall be conducted--
``(1) before the jury that determined the defendant's
guilt;
``(2) before a jury impaneled for the purpose of the
hearing if--
``(A) the defendant was convicted upon a plea of guilty;
``(B) the defendant was convicted after a trial before the
court sitting without a jury;
``(C) the jury that determined the defendant's guilt was
discharged for good cause; or
``(D) after initial imposition of a sentence under this
section, reconsideration of the sentence under the section is
necessary; or
``(3) before the court alone, upon motion of the defendant
and with the approval of the attorney for the Government.
A jury impaneled pursuant to paragraph (2) shall consist of
twelve members, unless, at any time before the conclusion of
the hearing, the parties stipulate, with the approval of the
court, that it shall consist of a lesser number.
``(c) Proof of Mitigating and Aggravating Factors.--At the
hearing, information may be presented as to--
``(1) any matter relating to any mitigating factor listed
in section 3592 and any other mitigating factor; and
``(2) any matter relating to any aggravating factor listed
in section 3592 for which notice has been provided under
subsection (a) and (if information is presented relating to
such a listed factor) any other aggravating factor for which
notice has been so provided.
The information presented may include the trial transcript
and exhibits. Any other information relevant to such
mitigating or aggravating factors may be presented by either
the Government or the defendant. The information presented by
the Government in support of factors concerning the effect of
the offense on the victim and the victim's family may include
oral testimony, a victim impact statement that identifies the
victim of the offense and the nature and extent of harm and
loss suffered by the victim and the victim's family, and
other relevant information. Information is admissible
regardless of its admissibility under the rules governing
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 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
[[Page 1748]]
that case of imposing a sentence of death. The attorney for
the Government shall open the argument. The defendant shall
be permitted to reply. The Government shall then be permitted
to reply in rebuttal. The burden of establishing the
existence of an aggravating factor is on the Government, and
is not satisfied unless the existence of such a factor is
established beyond a reasonable doubt. The burden of
establishing the existence of any mitigating factor is on the
defendant, and is not satisfied unless the existence of such
a factor is established by a preponderance of the evidence.
``(d) 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 (a) of this section 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.
``(e) Return of a Finding Concerning a Sentence of Death.--
If an aggravating factor required to be considered under
section 3592 is found to exist, the jury, or if there is no
jury, the court, shall then consider whether the aggravating
factor or factors found to exist under subsection (d)
outweigh any mitigating factor or factors. The jury, or if
there is no jury, the court shall recommend a sentence of
death if it unanimously finds at least one aggravating factor
and no mitigating factor or if it finds one or more
aggravating factors which outweigh any mitigating factors. In
any other case, it 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.
``(f) Special Precaution to Assure Against
Discrimination.--In a hearing held before a jury, the court,
prior to the return of a finding under subsection (e), shall
instruct the jury that, in considering whether to recommend a
sentence of death, it shall not be influenced by prejudice or
bias relating to the race, color, religion, national origin,
or sex of the defendant or of 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 the crime in
question regardless of the race, color, religion, national
origin, or sex of the defendant or of any victim. The jury,
upon return of a finding under subsection (e), shall also
return to the court a certificate, signed by each juror, that
prejudice or bias relating to 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
the crime in question regardless of the race, color,
religion, national origin, or sex of the defendant or any
victim.
``Sec. 3594. Imposition of a sentence of death
``Upon the recommendation under section 3593(e) that a
sentence of death be imposed, the court shall sentence the
defendant to death. Otherwise the court shall impose a
sentence, other than death, authorized by law.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if the maximum
term of imprisonment for the offense is life imprisonment,
the court may impose a sentence of life imprisonment without
the possibility of release.
``Sec. 3595. Review of a sentence of death
``(a) Appeal.--In a case in which a sentence of death is
imposed, the sentence shall be subject to review by the court
of appeals upon appeal by the defendant. Notice of appeal of
the sentence must be filed within the time specified for the
filing of a notice of appeal of the judgment of conviction.
An appeal of the sentence under this section may be
consolidated with an appeal of the judgment of conviction and
shall have priority over all other non-capital matters in the
court of appeals.
``(b) Review.--The court of appeals shall review the entire
record in the case, including--
``(1) the evidence submitted during the trial;
``(2) the information submitted during the sentencing
hearing;
``(3) the procedures employed in the sentencing hearing;
and
``(4) the special findings returned under section 3593(d).
``(c) Decision and Disposition.--
``(1) If the court of appeals determines that--
``(A) the sentence of death was not imposed under the
influence of passion, prejudice, or any other arbitrary
factor;
``(B) the evidence and information support the special
findings of the existence of an aggravating factor or
factors; and
``(C) the proceedings did not involve any other prejudicial
error requiring reversal of the sentence that was properly
preserved for and raised on appeal;
it shall affirm the sentence.
``(2) In any other case, the court of appeals shall remand
the case for reconsideration under section 3593 or for
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 required to be considered under section
3592 remains which was found to exist and the court, on the
basis of the evidence submitted at trial and the information
submitted at the sentencing hearing, finds no mitigating
factor or finds that the remaining aggravating factor or
factors which were found to exist outweigh any mitigating
factors.
``(3) The court of appeals shall state in writing the
reasons for its disposition of an appeal of a sentence of
death under this section.
``Sec. 3596. Implementation of a sentence of death
``(a) In General.--A person sentenced to death under this
chapter 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 the State in which the sentence is imposed, or in
the manner prescribed by the law of another State designated
by the court if the law of the State in which the sentence
was imposed does not provide for implementation of a sentence
of death.
``(b) Special Bars to Execution.--A sentence of death shall
not be carried out upon a person who lacks the mental
capacity to understand the death penalty and why it was
imposed on that person, or upon a woman while she is
pregnant.
``(c) Persons May Decline to Participate.--No employee of
any State department of corrections, the Federal Bureau of
Prisons, or the United States Marshals Service, and no person
providing services to that department, bureau, or service
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.
``Sec. 3597. Use of State facilities
``A United States Marshal charged with supervising the
implementation of a sentence of death may use appropriate
State or local facilities for the purpose, may use the
services of an appropriate State or local official or of a
person such an official employs for the purpose, and shall
pay the costs thereof in an amount approved by the Attorney
General.
``Sec. 3598. Appointment of counsel
``(a) Representation of Indigent Defendants.--This section
shall govern the appointment of counsel for any defendant
against whom a sentence of death is sought, or on whom a
sentence of death has been imposed, for an offense against
the United States, where the defendant is or becomes
financially unable to obtain adequate representation. Such a
defendant shall be entitled to appointment of counsel from
the commencement of trial proceedings until one of the
conditions specified in section 3599(b) of this title has
occurred. This section shall not affect the appointment of
counsel and the provision of ancillary legal services under
section 848(q) (4) through (10) of title 21, United States
Code.
``(b) Representation Before Finality of Judgment.--A
defendant within the scope of this section shall have counsel
appointed for trial representation as provided in section
3005 of this title. 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.
``(c) Representation After Finality of Judgment.--When a
judgment imposing a sentence of death 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 district court that imposed the sentence.
Within ten days of receipt of such notice, the district court
shall proceed to make a determination whether the defendant
is eligible under this section for appointment of counsel for
subsequent proceedings. On the basis of the determination,
the court shall issue an order: (1) 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; (2) finding, after a hearing if
necessary, that the defendant rejected appointment of counsel
and made the decision with an understanding of its legal
consequences; or (3) denying the appointment of counsel upon
a finding that the defendant is financially able to obtain
adequate representation. 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.
``(d) Standards for Competence of Counsel.--In relation to
a defendant who is enti-
[[Page 1749]]
tled to appointment of counsel under this section, at least
one counsel appointed for trial representation must have been
admitted to the bar for at least five years and have at least
three 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 five years and have at least
three 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.
``(e) Applicability of Criminal Justice Act.--Except as
otherwise provided in this section, the provisions of section
3006A of this title shall apply to appointments under this
section.
``(f) Claims of Ineffectiveness of Counsel.--The
ineffectiveness or incompetence of counsel during proceedings
on a motion under section 2255 of title 28, United States
Code, in a capital case 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.
``Sec. 3599. Collateral attack on judgment imposing sentence
of death
``(a) Time for Making Section 2255 Motion.--In a case in
which sentence of death has been imposed, and the judgment
has become final as described in section 3598(c) of this
title, a motion in the case under section 2255 of title 28,
United States Code, must be filed within ninety days of the
issuance of the order relating to appointment of counsel
under section 3598(c) of this title. The court in which the
motion is filed, for good cause shown, may extend the time
for filing for a period not exceeding sixty days. A motion
described in this section shall have priority over all
noncapital matters in the district court, and in the court of
appeals on review of the district court's decision.
``(b) Stay of Execution.--The execution of a sentence of
death 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 2255 of title 28, United States 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
2255 of title 28, United States Code, within the time
specified in subsection (a), or fails to make a timely
application for court of appeals review following the denial
of such motion by a district court; or
``(2) upon completion of district court and court of
appeals review under section 2255 of title 28, United States
Code, the motion under that section is denied and (A) the
time for filing a petition for certiorari has expired and no
petition has been filed; (B) a timely petition for certiorari
was filed and the Supreme Court denied the petition; or (C) a
timely petition for certiorari was filed and upon
consideration of the case, the Supreme Court disposed of it
in a manner that left the capital sentence undisturbed; or
``(3) before a district court, in the presence of counsel
and after having been advised of the consequences of his
decision, the defendant waives the right to file a motion
under section 2255 of title 28, United States Code.
``(c) Finality of the Decision on Review.--If one of the
conditions specified in subsection (b) 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 was (A) the result of
governmental action in violation of the Constitution or laws
of the United States; (B) the result of the Supreme Court
recognition of a new Federal right that is retroactively
applicable; or (C) based on a factual predicate that 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.
``Sec. 3600. Application in Indian country
``Notwithstanding sections 1152 and 1153 of this title, no
person subject to the criminal jurisdiction of an Indian
tribal government shall be subject to a capital sentence
under this chapter for any offense the Federal jurisdiction
for which is predicated solely on Indian country as defined

subsection (g) or (n) of section 922 of title 18, United
States Code, inform the licensee that the transfer is

handgun by a person would violate subsection (g) or (n) of
section 922 of title 18, United States Code, the person may
request the system to provide the person with a detailed
explanation, in writing, of the reasons therefor. Within 5
days after receipt of such a request, the system shall comply
with the request. The requestor may submit to the system
information to correct, clarify, or supplement records of the
system with respect to the requestor. Within 5 days after
receipt of such information, the system shall consider such
information, investigate the matter further, correct all
erroneous records relating to the requestor, and notify any
department or agency of the United States or of any State or
political subdivision of a State that was the source of the
erroneous records or such errors.
(2) Private course of action.--After all administrative
remedies are exhausted and such records are not corrected, a
person disapproved for the purchase or receipt of a handgun
because the system established under this section provided
erroneous information relating to the person may bring an
action in any court of competent jurisdiction against the
United States, or any State or political subdivision of a
State that is the source of the erroneous information, for
damages (including consequential damages), injunctive relief,

circuit judge, the application will ordinarily be transferred
to the appropriate district court. If an application is made
to or transferred to the district court and denied, renewal

cause is addressed to the court of appeals, it shall be

appropriate. If no express request for a certificate is

section 2254 brought by prisoners in State custody who are
subject to a capital sentence. It shall apply only if the
provisions of subsections (b) and (c) are satisfied.
``(b) This chapter is applicable if a State establishes by
rule of its court of last resort or by statute a mechanism
for the appointment, compensation and payment of reasonable
litigation expenses of competent counsel in State
postconviction proceedings brought by indigent prisoners
whose capital convictions and sentences have been upheld on
direct appeal to the court of last resort in the State or
have otherwise become final for State law purposes. The rule
of court or statute must provide standards of competency for
the appointment of such counsel.
``(c) Any mechanism for the appointment, compensation and
reimbursement of counsel as provided in subsection (b) must
offer counsel to all State prisoners under capital sentence
and must provide for the entry of an order by a court of
record: (1) appointing one or more counsel to represent the
prisoner upon a finding that the prisoner is indigent and

``(e) The ineffectiveness or incompetence of counsel during
State or Federal collateral postconviction proceedings in a
capital case shall not be a ground for relief in a proceeding
arising under section 2254 of this chapter. This limitation
shall not preclude the appointment of different counsel, on
the court's own motion or at the request of the prisoner, at
any phase of State or Federal postconviction proceedings on
the basis of the ineffectiveness or incompetence of counsel
in such proceedings.
``Sec. 2257. Mandatory stay of execution; duration; limits on
stays of execution; successive petitions
``(a) Upon the entry in the appropriate State court of
record of an order under section 2256(c), a warrant or order

postconviction review procedures of this chapter and that the
scheduled execution is subject to stay.

(a) shall expire if--
``(1) a State prisoner fails to file a habeas corpus

of appeals review following the denial of such a petition by
a district court;

appeals review under section 2254 the petition for relief is
denied and (A) the time for filing a petition for certiorari

denied the petition; or (C) a timely petition for certiorari
was filed and upon consideration of the case, the Supreme
Court disposed of it in a manner that left the capital
sentence undisturbed; or

presence of counsel and after having been advised of the
consequences of his decision, a State prisoner under capital
sentence waives the right to pursue habeas corpus review
under section 2254.
``(c) If one of the conditions in subsection (b) has
occurred, no Federal court thereafter shall have the
authority to enter a stay of execution or grant relief in a
capital case unless--
``(1) the basis for the stay and request for relief is a
claim not previously presented in the State or Federal
courts;
``(2) the failure to raise the claim is (A) the result of
State action in violation of the Constitution or laws of the
United States; (B) the result of the Supreme Court
recognition of a new Federal right that is retroactively
applicable; or (C) based on a factual predicate that could
not have been discovered through the exercise of reasonable
diligence in time to present the claim for State or Federal
postconviction review; 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.
``Sec. 2258. Filing of habeas corpus petition; time
requirements; tolling rules
``Any petition for habeas corpus relief under section 2254

the petition if a State prisoner files the petition to secure
review by the Supreme Court of the affirmance of a capital
sentence on direct review by the court of last resort of the
State or other final State court decision on direct review;
``(2) during any period in which a State prisoner under
capital sentence has a properly filed request for
postconviction review pending before a State court of
competent jurisdiction; if all State filing rules are met in
a timely manner, this period shall run continuously from the
date that the State prisoner initially files for
postconviction review until final disposition of the case by
the highest court of the State, but the time requirements
established by this section are not tolled during the
pendency of a petition for certiorari before the Supreme
Court except as provided in paragraph (1); and
``(3) during an additional period not to exceed sixty days,
if (A) a motion for an extension of time is filed in the
Federal district court that would have proper jurisdiction
over the case upon the filing of a habeas corpus petition
under section 2254; and (B) a showing of good cause is made
for the failure to file the habeas corpus petition within the
time period established by this section.

district court adjudication

files a petition for habeas corpus relief to which this
chapter applies, the district court shall--
``(1) determine the sufficiency of the record for habeas
corpus review based on the claims actually presented and
litigated in the State courts except when the prisoner can
show that the failure to raise or develop a claim in the
State courts is (A) the result of State action in violation
of the Constitution or laws of the United States; (B) the
result of the Supreme Court recognition of a new Federal
right that is retroactively applicable; or (C) based on a
factual predicate that could not have been discovered through
the exercise of reasonable diligence in time to present the
claim for State postconviction review; and
``(2) conduct any requested evidentiary hearing necessary
to complete the record for habeas corpus review.
``(b) Upon the development of a complete evidentiary
record, the district court shall rule on the claims that are
properly before it.

``(a) For purposes of this section, a `unitary review'
procedure means a State procedure that authorizes a person
under sentence of death to raise, in the course of direct
review of the judgment, such claims as could be raised on
collateral attack. The provisions of this chapter shall
apply, as provided in this section, in relation to a State
unitary review procedure if the State establishes by rule of
its court of last resort or by statute a mechanism for the
appointment, compensation and payment of reasonable
litigation expenses of competent counsel in the unitary
review proceedings, including expenses relating to the
litigation of collateral claims in the proceedings. The rule
of court or statute must provide standards of competency for
the appointment of such counsel.

section, must include an offer of
[[Page 1758]]
counsel following trial for the purpose of representation on
unitary review, and entry of an order, as provided in section
2256(c), concerning appointment of counsel or waiver or
denial of appointment of counsel for that purpose. No counsel
appointed to represent the prisoner in the unitary review
proceedings shall have previously represented the prisoner at
trial in the case for which the appointment is made unless
the prisoner and counsel expressly request continued
representation.
``(c) Sections 2257, 2258, 2259, 2260, and 2262 shall apply
in relation to cases involving a sentence of death from any
State having a unitary review procedure that qualifies under
this section. References to State `post-conviction review'
and `direct review' in those sections shall be understood as
referring to unitary review under the State procedure. The
references in sections 2257(a) and 2258 to `an order under
section 2256(c)' shall be understood as referring to the
post-trial order under subsection (b) concerning
representation in the unitary review proceedings, but if a
transcript of the trial proceedings is unavailable at the
time of the filing of such an order in the appropriate State
court, then the start of the one hundred and eighty day
limitation period under section 2258 shall be deferred until
a transcript is made available to the prisoner or his
counsel.

sentence of death, shall be given priority by the district
court and by the court of appeals over all noncapital
matters. The adjudication of such a petition or motion shall
be subject to the following time limitations:

to an initial petition or motion, and to any second or
successive petition or motion. The same limitations shall
also apply to the re-determination of a petition or motion or
related appeal following a remand by the court of appeals or
the Supreme Court for further proceedings, and in such a case
the limitation period shall run from the date of the remand.
``(c) The time limitations under this section shall not be
construed to entitle a petitioner or movant to a stay of
execution, to which the petitioner or movant would otherwise
not be entitled, for the purpose of litigating any petition,
motion, or appeal.
``(d) The failure of a court to meet or comply with the
time limitations under this section shall not be a ground for
granting relief from a judgment of conviction or sentence.
The State or Government may enforce the time limitations
under this section by applying to the court of appeals or the
Supreme Court for a writ of mandamus.
``(e) The Administrative Office of United States Courts
shall report annually to Congress on the compliance by the
courts with the time limits established in this section.

Pending consideration of said motion to recommit with instructions,
Para. 137.15 point of order
Mr. BROOKS made a point of order against the motion to recommit with
instructions, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order that the motion is non germane.
``Mr. Speaker, it is the entire Republican crime bill tacked onto this
bill, which is not pertinent to all of those programs and is well beyond
the scope of the bill that is before us.''.
Mr. McCOLLUM was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``I do wish to be heard, Mr. Speaker, on the point of order. This bill
on the motion to recommit involves a number of provisions that are very
vital to this House and that we have not had a chance to vote on today,
including measures that are very definitely related to the high rate of
juvenile crime we have in this country. In fact, the juvenile crime
rate, which is what we are talking about--the juvenile crime rate in
this country is where the big prob-
[[Page 1761]]
lem is today, sadly. It is there we have the violent crimes that are
causing a great deal of concern among our American citizenry.
``We have such an enormous growth in violent crime in this country
among juveniles that it is a sad story that the Wall Street Journal
reports that the district attorneys around this Nation say the single
most important issue facing them is revising the laws of this Nation to
solve that problem.
``So I propose today in this motion to recommit one simple thing,
something that has not been out here on the floor before that should
have been long ago, something that addresses the violent crime problem
among the youth of this country and the violent crime problem generally
in the only way we can get at it. It addresses the problem of the
revolving door.
``This proposed motion to recommit is in order, it is the
comprehensive Republican crime proposal. It is in order, I would submit
to the Speaker, because it is indeed the root cause of the problems
being addressed in this bill. It is the only way to get at it. We have
all kinds of ways of getting at that. And the scope of the bill before
us today is indeed broad enough to encompass this entire problem.
``The crux of this matter is that we have not faced the issue
squarely. We need to face the fact we do not have enough prisons to
house these folks in. We have a revolving door that basically the motion
to recommit would establish that. We need to mend the law of the endless
appeals of habeas corpus appeals by death row inmates, restore the death
penalty at the Federal level. We have not had a vote on any of that in
this session of Congress out on the floor, and this is one opportunity
to have that vote today on this motion to recommit. It should be made in
order, it should be put out. I tried to get it before the Rules
Committee. We do not have it out here, and I submit this is the only way
that this body can really address the violent crime problem facing our
country today, Mr. Speaker.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. GEPHARDT, sustained the point of order,
and said:
``The Chair is prepared to rule.
``The gentleman from Texas makes the point of order that the amendment
proposed in the motion to recommit offered by the gentleman from Florida
is not germane to the bill.
``The test of germaneness in the case of a motion to recommit with
instructions is the relationship of those instructions to the bill as
perfected in the House.
``In order to be germane, an amendment must relate to the subject
matter under consideration. The bill as perfected narrowly amends the
Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to establish a
program of grants to States and local governments to develop
alternatives to traditional incarceration of and unsupervised probation
for youthful offenders.
``On the other hand, the amendment proposed in the motion offered by
the gentleman from Florida goes beyond the subject of alternative
punishments for youthful offenders and proposes and omnibus crime bill.
``Accordingly, the Chair finds that the amendment is not germane and,
therefore, that the motion to recommit is not in order.''.
Mr. McCOLLUM appealed the ruling of the Chair.
Mr. BROOKS 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. GEPHARDT, announced that the yeas had it.
Mr. McCOLLUM demanded a recorded vote on the motion to lay the appeal
on the table, 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

Pending consideration of said motion to recommit with instructions,
Para. 137.17 point of order
Mr. BROOKS made a point of order against the motion to recommit with
instructions, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, I make the point of order that the motion to recommit
is not germane.''.
Mr. McCOLLUM was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``Mr. Speaker, the motion to recommit that I have offered would
require that the Committee on the Judiciary take this bill back and
report back to us an amendment to the bill, an addition to the bill,
which would encompass a regional prison system being a partnership with
the States whereby the Federal Government would pay 50 percent of the
cost of building these regional prisons and the States would pay 50
percent to house violent criminals and sexual abusers who qualify in
those States where the States have adopted truth in sentencing by
requiring that all of those who are convicted who are eligible for these
prisons serve at least 85 percent of their sentences, and it would
require that they adopt minimum mandatory sentences for those
individuals that would be sent to these regional prisons.
``This amendment, this provision that would be adopted by my motion to
recommit, Mr. Speaker, is the only way we are going to get at the real
problem here that is facing the country today of the revolving door, and
it is germane to this bill today because this bill addresses crime and
youthful offenders, and the only way to effectively stop youthful
offenders who commit violent crimes, and that is the crisis today most
Americans see, is by building the prison that we need in America, going
into a cost-sharing partnership with the States and taking these violent
youthful offenders off the streets, locking them up, and throwing away
the keys. We are not doing that today, Mr. Speaker.
[[Page 1763]]
``If this is ruled out of order, which would be the second one today
which we have tried to put out here, we will not be effectively dealing
with the violent crime problem facing this Nation in this session of
Congress. The American public demands that we have that opportunity, and
that is why I am offering this motion to recommit today in the hopes
that this body, with my colleagues' blessing, today will address the
really critical problem of the revolving door of violent criminals and
especially the violent crime among the youth today. We need the prisons.
That is all this does is establish that which we have not brought out
here.
``Let me point out to my colleagues in closing that in 6 months from
now, by the statistics we have, because it is violent crimes that are
being committed in this country at a rate of 160,000 a month, if it
takes 6 months to get this out here, this kind of a bill, if we do not
do it tonight, we do not address the crime problem tonight with the bill
I propose here, there will be over 966,000 more violent crimes a
committed in that 6-month period.
``It is shameful that we do not address it, Mr. Speaker. That is why I
am offering it. That is what it is. I believe it is very germane to this
crime bill today, because this crime bill, as it is tonight, really only
addresses a very minor part of the problem.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. GEPHARDT, sustained the point of order,
and said:
``The point of order of the gentleman from Texas [Mr. Brooks] has been
heard. For the reasons stated on the prior point of order, the Chair
rules that this point of order is well-taken, and that the motion is not
germane. A program to establish a regional prison system to be used by
States that establish certain standards for incarceration of prisoners
generally goes beyond the subject of alternative punishments for
youthful offenders.''.
Mr. McCOLLUM appealed the ruling of the Chair.
Mr. BROOKS 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. GEPHARDT, announced that the yeas had it.
Mr. McCOLLUM demanded a recorded vote on the motion to lay the appeal
on the table, 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

remain available until expended.
Pending consideration of said motion to recommit with instructions,
Para. 137.19 point of order
Mr. BROOKS made a point of order against the motion to recommit with
instructions, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order that the motion to recommit is
not germane.''.
Mr. McCOLLUM was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``What this proposed motion would do today will be to send this bill
back to the Committee on the Judiciary to report it back with a very
straightforward amendment to it that is one which would address the
problem of terrorism at the World Trade Center. It would set up an
interagency task force, among other things, to coordinate efforts so we
do not have something like what happened at the World Trade Center.
``You are probably going to rule it out of order, like you have ruled
the other two out of order, Mr. Speaker, and I respect that, but the
fact is that the people who were involved with that World Trade Center
and a lot of other Americans would like to see that issue addressed. We
should be addressing the real crime issues tonight and not the issues
that are out here.
``I have nothing else to say on it. I am sorry I have to do that, but
that is the only effort we have got we can make. I respectfully suggest
this ought to be ruled in order. It is a tough violent crime
question.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. GEPHARDT, sustained the point of order,
and said:
``The Chair has heard the argument on the point of order. The Chair
rules that the motion to recommit is not germane for the similar reasons
that were given on the other two points of order.
``The amendment proposed in the motion to recommit offered by the
gentleman from Florida [Mr. McCollum] goes beyond the subject of
alternative punishments for youthful offenders and establishes a
National Task Force on Counter-Terrorism to study and report to Congress
its assessment of existing Federal counterterrorism efforts and to make
recommendations for improvements to those efforts.
``Accordingly, the Chair finds that the amendment is not germane, and
therefore, that the motion to recommit is not in order.''.
Mr. McCOLLUM appealed the ruling of the Chair.
Mr. BROOKS 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. GEPHARDT, announced that the yeas had it.
Mr. McCOLLUM demanded a recorded vote on the motion to lay the appeal
on the table, which demand was supported by one-fifth of a quorum, so a
recorded vote was ordered.

``(C) The owner of record of a patent, or its agent, for
which an interim extension has been granted under
subparagraph (B), may apply for not more than 4 subsequent
interim extensions under this paragraph, except that, in the
case of a patent subject to subsection (g)(6)(C), the owner
of record of the patent, or its agent, may apply for only 1
subsequent interim extension under this paragraph. Each such
subsequent application shall be made during the period
beginning 60 days before, and ending 30 days before, the
expiration of the preceding interim extension.
``(D) Each certificate of interim extension under this
paragraph shall be recorded in the official file of the
patent and shall be considered part of the original patent.

shall terminate at the end of the 60-day period beginning on
the date on which the product involved receives permission
for commercial marketing or use, except that, if within that
60-day period the applicant notifies the Commissioner of such
permission and submits any additional information under
paragraph (1) of this subsection not previously contained in
the application for interim extension, the patent shall be
further extended, in accordance with the provisions of this
section--

is extended under this paragraph shall, during the period of
interim extension--
``(i) in the case of a patent which claims a product, be
limited to any use then under regulatory review;
``(ii) in the case of a patent which claims a method of
using a product, be limited to any use claimed by the patent
then under regulatory review; and

manufacturing a product, be limited to the method of
manufacturing as used to make the product then under
regulatory review.''.

Para. 138.36 d.c. statehood
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. FIELDS of Louisiana, pursuant to House
Resolution 316 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. 51) to provide for the admission of the
State of New Columbia into the Union.
Pending which,
Para. 138.37 point of order
Mr. SOLOMON made a point of against the consideration of said bill,
and said:
``Mr Speaker, at this point I would make a point of order against the
consideration of H.R. 51 on the grounds that it is in violation of House
rule XIII, clause 7, as well as section 308(a) of the Budget Act.
``Mr. Speaker, House Rule XIII, clause 7(a) requires that the
committee report to accompany any bill and I quote--
Shall contain 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 5 fiscal years following such fiscal year
``And clause 7(b) of that rule says, and I quote,
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.
``Mr. Speaker, the report to accompany H.R. 51, House Report 103-371,
at page 22, notes that a CBO cost estimate, and I quote, `was not
received by the Committee from the Director of the Congressional Office
prior to the filing of this report.'
``The report goes on to state that, `pursuant to clause 7 of rule
XIII, the Committee notes that the provisions of H.R. 51 impacting on
revenues and expenditures do not differ markedly from those of H.R.
4718 in the 102nd Congress.'
``And the report goes on to incorporate that 1992 cost estimate as
the committee cost estimate at pages 22 through page 26.
``However, Mr. Speaker, this does not satisfy the requirements of
clause 7(a) of rule XIII since the CBO cost estimate does not contain
the required cost of the bill for the fiscal year in which it has been
reported--fiscal year 1994--and in each of the 5 fiscal years following
such fiscal year . . . .
``For the report to be in compliance with the requirements of clause
7(a) of rule XIII, there must be a clearly delineated breakdown of the
estimated costs for each of the fiscal years 1994 through 1999.
``Nowhere in this report is there such a breakdown.
``Mr. Speaker, since the rule providing for the consideration of the
bill does not waive points of order anywhere in this rule, in its
consideration, this point of order is in order pursuant to clause 7(b)
of rule XIII; and, Mr. Speaker, I also make a point of order that the
report violates section 308(a), as I mentioned earlier, of the Budget
Act, which requires certain cost estimates, including section 402 to be
direct spending costs. The CBO report, at page 26, only contains the
PAYGO estimates through fiscal year 1995. But this year we extended the
requirements of PAYGO through fiscal year 2002.
``I therefore urge that my point of order be sustained, Mr.
Speaker.''.
Mr. STARK was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the point of order.
``A review of the full text of the CBO estimate on page 22 to 26 of
House Report 103-371 clearly indicates that it covers the five years
required by the rule, and much beyond.
``For example, on page 22, the cost to the Federal Government of
administering the federal enclave is $40 million annually; that is an
indefinite period extending beyond the five years of the rule.
``Similarly, Mr. Speaker, other estimates are recurring, as follows:
``Congressional representation is $3 million a year, page 23.
``Justice services, $45 million a year.
``Finally, Mr. Speaker, if you look at the chart on page 26 of the
report, you will note that the net cost to the government for every
year is zero--costs are offset by savings.
``Thus, the committee report complies fully with the rule.''.
[[Page 1792]]
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. FIELDS of Louisiana, overruled the point
of order, and said:
``The Chair is prepared to rule.
``Clause 7 of rule XIII requires that the report of the Committee on
the District of Columbia on H.R. 51 contain the committee's estimate of
the costs which would be incurred in carrying out the bill in the
fiscal year in which it is reported and in each of the 5 ensuing fiscal
years.
``On page 22 of House Report 103-371, the Committee on the District
of Columbia notes, pursuant to clause 7 of rule XIII, that the
provisions of the bill affecting revenues and expenditures are similar
to those in an earlier bill, and includes the full text of the
Congressional Budget Office cost estimated, dated April 30, 1992, on
that earlier form of the bill.
``The CBO cost estimate estimates costs and savings as recurring
annually and indefinitely.
``For example, it estimates the costs of providing services, within
and administering the National Capital Service Area as being at least
$40 million annually.
``It estimates the costs of additional congressional representation
as being ``$3 million a year'', it estimates the cost for the Statehood
Transition Commission at less then $ million, and it estimates the
savings from the discontinuation of Federal support for local
administration of justice and resulting court services as $45 million a
year.
``In addition, clause 7(d) of rule XIII expressly acknowledges the
fundamental accuracy of the CBO cost estimates.
``The Chair also notes in response to the point of order under
section 308 of the Budget Act that the cost of the new Senators salary
as stated in the CBO report would result in a direct Federal spending
of $0.3 million annually. Thus the CBO report identifiers new spending
authority provided in the bill.
``The Chair holds that the committee cost estimate on the bill is not
deficient for its being based on the CBO cost estimate where the latter
estimate has examined the same subject on an indefinite basis.
``The Chair overrules the point of order.''.
The House then resolved itself into the Committee of the Whole House
on the state of the Union.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. FIELDS of Louisiana, by unanimous
consent, designated Mr. MFUME as Chairman of the Committee of the Whole;
and after some time spent therein,
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. RUSH, assumed the Chair.
When Mr. MFUME, Chairman, reported that the Committee, having had
under consideration said bill, had come to no resolution thereon.

Mr. MOAKLEY, by direction of the Committee on Rules, reported (Rept.
No. 103-402) the resolution (H. Res. 319) providing for consideration of
the bill (H.R. 3) to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to
provide for a voluntary system of spending limits and benefits for
congressional election campaigns, and for other purposes.
When said resolution and report were referred to the House Calendar
and ordered printed.
Para. 138.39 providing for the consideration of h.r. 3400
Mr. MOAKLEY, by direction of the Committee on Rules, reported (Rept.
No. 103-403) the resolution (H. Res. 320) providing for consideration of
the bill (H.R. 3400) to provide a more effective, efficient, and
responsive government.
When said resolution and report were referred to the House Calendar
and ordered printed.
Para. 138.40 message from the president--health security
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. RUSH, 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 to the Congress the ``Health Security
Act of 1993.''
This legislation holds the promise of a new era of security for every
American--an era in which our Nation finally guarantees its citizens
comprehensive health care benefits that can never be taken away.
Today, America boasts the world's best health care professionals, the
finest medical schools and hospitals, the most advanced research, and
the most sophisticated technology. No other health care system in the
world exceeds ours in the level of scientific knowledge, skill, and
technical resources.
And yet, the American health care system is badly broken. Its
hallmarks are insecurity and dangerously rising costs.
For most Americans the fear of losing health benefits at some time has
become very real. Our current health insurance system offers no
protection for people who lose their jobs, move, decide to change jobs,
get sick, or have a family member with an illness. One out of four
Americans is expected to lose insurance coverage in the next 2 years,
many never to be protected again. Altogether, more than 37 million
Americans have no insurance and another 25 million have inadequate
health coverage.
Rising health care costs are threatening our standard of living. The
average American worker would be making $1,000 a year more today if
health care accounted for the same proportion of wages and benefits as
in 1975. Unless we act, health care costs will lower real wages by
almost $600 per year by the end of the decade and nearly $1 in every $5
Americans spend will go to health care.
Small businesses create most of the new jobs in America and while most
want to cover their employees, more and more cannot. Under the current
health care system, cost pressures are forcing a growing number of small
business owners to scale back or drop health insurance for their
employees. Small businesses spend 40 cents of every health insurance
dollar for administration--eight times as much as large companies. And
only 1 in every 3 companies with fewer than 500 workers today offers
its employees a choice of health plan.
Our health care system frustrates those who deliver care. Doctors and
nurses are drowning in paperwork, and hospitals are hiring
administrators at 4 times the rate of health care professionals. The
system places decisions that doctors should be making in the hands of
distant bureaucrats. Its incentives are upside down; it focuses on
treating people only after they get sick, and does not reward
prevention.
Clearly, our challenges are great. This legislation is sweeping in
its ambition and simple in its intent: to preserve and strengthen what
is right about our health care system and fix what is wrong.
Our needs are now urgent. A Nation blessed with so much should not
leave so many without health security.
This legislation draws upon history. It reflects the best ideas
distilled from decades of debate and experience.
It reflects the sense of responsibility that President Franklin
Roosevelt called for when he launched the Social Security program in
1933 and recommended that health care be included.
It reflects the vision of President Harry Truman, who in 1946 became
the first President to introduce a plan for national health reform.
It reflects the pragmatism of President Richard Nixon, who in 1972
asked all American employers to take responsibility and contribute to
their workers' health care.
And it reflects the ideas and commitment of generations of
Congressional leaders who have fought to build a health care system
that honors our Nation's commitments to all its citizens.
Today America stands ready for reform. For the first time, members of
both parties have agreed that every American must be guaranteed health
care. An opportunity has been placed before us. We must not let it pass
us by.
This legislation builds on what's best about the American health care
system. It maintains and strengthens America's private health care. It
extends the current system of employer-based coverage that works so
well for so many. It protects our cherished right to choose how we are
cared for and who provides that care. It invests in improving the
quality of our care.
This legislation recognizes that America cannot, and need not, adopt
one model of health care reform. It allows each State to tailor health
reform to its unique needs and characteristics, as long as it meets
national guarantees
[[Page 1793]]
for comprehensive benefits, affordability, and quality standards. It
establishes a national framework for reform, but leaves the decisions
about care where they belong--between patients and the health care
professionals they trust.
Under this legislation, every citizen and legal resident will receive
a Health Security Card that guarantees the comprehensive benefits
package. People will be able to follow their doctor into a traditional
fee-for-service plan, join a network of doctors and hospitals, or
become members of a Health Maintenance Organization. Like today, almost
everyone will be able to sign up for a health plan where they work.
Unlike today, changes in employment or family status will not
necessarily force a change in health coverage.
The self-employed and the unemployed will receive their health
coverage through the regional health alliance, a group run by consumers
and business leaders, that will contract with and pay health plans,
provide information to help consumers choose plans, and collect
premiums. The largest corporations--those employing 5,000 workers or
more--will have the option of continuing to self-insure their employees
or joining a regional alliance.
The legislation is financed by three sources: requiring every
employer and individual to contribute to paying the cost of health
care; raising excise taxes on tobacco and requiring small contributions
from large corporations, which form their own health alliance; and
slowing the growth in spending on Federal health care programs.
Enormous efforts have been made to ensure that the financing is sound
and responsible.
The Health Security Act is based upon six principles: security,
simplicity, savings, quality, choice, and responsibility.
Security. First and foremost, this legislation guarantees security by
providing every American and legal resident with a comprehensive
package of health care benefits that can never be taken away. That
package of benefits, defined by law, includes a new emphasis on
preventive care and offers all Americans prescription drug benefits.
Under this legislation, insurers will no longer be able to deny
anyone coverage, impose lifetime limits, or charge people based on
their health status or age. The legislation also limits annual
increases in health care premiums, and sets maximum amounts that
families will spend out-of-pocket each year, regardless of how much or
how often they receive medical care.
The legislation will preserve and strengthen Medicare, adding new
coverage for prescription drugs. To meet the growing needs of older
Americans and people with disabilities, a new long-term care initiative
will expand coverage of home and community-based care.
The legislation also provides residents of underserved rural and
urban areas with better access to quality care. It also offers
incentives for health professionals to practice in these areas, builds
urban-rural health care networks, and protects those doctors,
hospitals, clinics, and others who care for people in underserved
areas.
Simplicity. To relieve consumers, business and health professionals
of the burdens of excess paperwork and bureaucracy, this legislation
simplifies our health care system. It requires all health plans to
adopt a standard claim form; creates a uniform, comprehensive benefits
package; and standardizes billing and coding procedures.
Savings. The legislation promotes true competition in the health care
marketplace. It increases the buying power of consumers and businesses
by bringing them together in health alliances. Health plans will no
longer succeed by trying to pick only healthy people to insure; they
will have to compete on price and quality. This competition will be
backed up by enforceable premium caps.
This legislation also criminalizes health fraud, imposing stiff
penalties on those who cheat the system. And it takes steps to reduce
``defensive medicine'' and discourage frivolous medical malpractice
lawsuits by requiring patients and doctors to try to settle disputes
before they end up in court, and by limiting lawyers' fees.
Quality. The legislation empowers consumers and health care
professionals by providing information on quality standards and
treatment results. It calls for new investments in medical research,
including heart disease, bone and joint disease, Alzheimer's disease,
cancer, AIDS, birth defects, mental disorders, substance abuse, and
nutrition. To help keep people healthy, rather than only treating them
after they get sick, the legislation pays fully for a wide range of
preventive services and offers new incentives to educate primary care
doctors, nurses, and other family practitioners.
Choice. Through comprehensive reform, the legislation gives Americans
a new level of control over their health care choices. It ensures that
people can follow their doctor and his or her team into any plan they
choose to join. It transfers the choice of health plan from the
employer to the individual, and guarantees a choice of health plans,
including at least one traditional fee-for-service plan. Doctors and
health professionals may participate in multiple health plans if they
wish.
Responsibility. Under this legislation, every employer and individual
will be required to pay for health coverage, even if that contribution
is small. It extends the current employer-based system for financing
health coverage--a system that now serves 9 of every 10 Americans who
now have health insurance. To ensure affordability, small businesses,
low-wage employers, and low-income individuals and families will get
substantial discounts.
This legislation will strengthen our economy. Our current system is
so much more costly than any other system in the world, and the
American people should not be asked to pay huge new taxes in order to
afford health care reform. This plan raises no new broad-based taxes,
but spends our health care dollars more wisely. It levels the playing
field for small businesses, making it possible for them to insure their
families and employees. It eases the tremendous burden of rising health
costs on big business, helping them to compete for global markets. And
by bringing the explosive growth in health costs under control, it sets
us in the right direction of reducing our national debt.
The legislation restores common sense to American health care. It
borrows from what works today, letting us phase in change at a
reasonable pace and adjust our course if needed. It builds on what
works best--and makes it work for everyone. Our task now is to work
together, to leave behind decades of false starts and agree on health
care reform that guarantees true security. The time for action is now.
I urge the prompt and favorable consideration of this legislative
proposal by the Congress.

been inconsistent and subject to the military and political
objectives of the Government of Sudan and Sudanese People's

collaborated with the Sudanese People's Liberation Army after
its incursions into Juba in June and July of 1992;

1992 in Pagarau, and the killing of 200 ``deserters'' by the
Torit group near Tonj in Bahr al-Ghazal;
Whereas the government of General Omar Hassan al-Bashir,
which came to power by overthrowing the democratically
elected civilian government on June 30, 1989, formed a 15-
member Revolutionary Command Council, abolished the
constitution, the National Assembly, political parties, and
trade unions, and declared a state of emergency;
Whereas the political, religious, and military policies of
the Bashir government have heightened political and religious
tensions in the country;
Whereas the government in Khartoum has become a threat to
regional stability in part because of its reported activities
in neighboring countries and its relations with known
terrorist and political extremist groups;
Whereas the conflict in southern Sudan, which has dragged
on for over 3 decades, is the result of decades of political,
religious, and economic discrimination against the people of
southern Sudan by successive governments in the north;
Whereas the people of southern Sudan have not exercised
their political rights freely, except for a brief period
after the Addis Ababa agreement, and the lack of serious
efforts by successive governments in Khartoum has resulted in
deep mistrust;
Whereas the 1991 division of the Sudanese People's
Liberation Army into factions has resulted in untold
suffering for the people of southern Sudan;
Whereas the Government of Sudan continues its
indiscriminate aerial bombardment of civilians in southern
Sudan;
Whereas the factions of the Sudanese People's Liberation
Army agreed on an 8 point peace plan, including an immediate
cessation of hostilities, at a peace conference in Washington
in October 1993; and
Whereas the resolution of the conflict in southern Sudan
will not guarantee respect for human rights and political
freedom in other regions of the country: Now, therefore, be
it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That the Congress--
(1) strongly condemns the Government of Sudan for its
severe human rights abuses, and calls upon that government to
improve human rights conditions throughout the country;
(2) deplores the internecine fighting among the Sudanese
People's Liberation Army factions which has caused untold
suffering for the people of southern Sudan;
(3) calls on the Government of Sudan and all factions of
the Sudanese People's Liberation Army to cease hostilities
and resolve their differences through peaceful means;
(4) urges the Government of Sudan and all factions of the
Sudanese People's Liberation Army to provide full access for
and to cooperate with relief organizations;
(5) encourages the Government of Sudan to hand over
political power to an elected civilian government as soon as
possible;
(6) urges the Government of Sudan to lift the press ban
which was imposed after it took power in June 1989;
(7) recognizes the right of the people of southern Sudan to
self-determination;
(8) urges the Government of Sudan and all factions of the
Sudanese People's Liberation Army to allow free access to
human rights organizations;
(9) commends the Clinton Administration for placing Sudan
on the list of states having a government that has repeatedly
provided support for acts of international terrorism;
(10) commends the Government of Kenya, the Government of
Nigeria, the Government of Uganda, and the Organization of
African Unity for their mediation efforts;
(11) calls upon the President--
(A) to appoint a special representative for mediation,
reconciliation, and peace in Sudan;
(B) to increase the level of humanitarian assistance for
Sudan that is provided through nongovernmental organizations,
including local church groups; and
(C) to explore other means necessary to force the
Government of Sudan to halt its war policies should the
humanitarian conditions further deteriorate and the
Government of Sudan continue to impede relief efforts; and
(12) further calls upon the President--
(A) to urge the United Nations to exert all efforts to
bring an early end to the conflict in Sudan;
(B) to urge that the situation in Sudan be brought to the
attention of the United Nations Security Council; and
(C) to urge the United Nations Security Council--
(i) to consider the creation of demilitarized zones for war
and famine victims in southern Sudan that would be off limits
to all warring factions;
(ii) to consider the creation of safe havens for war and
famine victims should the warring factions reject the
creation of demilitarized zones;
(iii) to facilitate safe passage for war and famine victims
to and from conflict zones; and
(iv) to impose an arms embargo on Sudan.

[[Page 1805]]
current resolution, as amended, was agreed to.
A motion to reconsider the vote whereby the rules were suspended and
said concurrent resolution, as amended, was agreed to was, by unanimous
consent, laid on the table.
Ordered, That the Clerk request the concurrence of the Senate in said
concurrent resolution.
Para. 139.19 arab league boycott of israel
Mr. HAMILTON moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following
concurrent resolution of the Senate (S. Con. Res. 50):
Whereas the signing on September 13, 1993, of the
Declaration of Principles between the Palestine Liberation
Organization and the Government of Israel signals a new era
of cooperation in the Middle East;
Whereas a true peace in the Middle East can only be
established and remain in effect if there is economic
stability and cooperation in the region;
Whereas adherence to the Arab League boycott of Israel is a
source of economic instability in the Middle East;
Whereas the members of the Arab League instituted a primary
boycott against Israel in 1948;
Whereas in the early 1950's the Arab states instituted a
secondary and tertiary boycott against United States and
other firms because of their commercial ties to Israel;
Whereas the boycott attempts to use economic blackmail to
force United States firms to comply with boycott regulation;
Whereas the boycott was cited by the United States Trade
Representative in the 1992 National Trade Estimate Report on
Foreign Trade Barriers as an ``additional legal restraint to
United States trade in the region'';
Whereas hundreds of United States firms have been
blacklisted and barred from doing business with members of
the Arab League under the secondary and tertiary boycott;
Whereas the total damage caused by the boycott is unknown
because the number of United States firms that conduct
business with Israel have not attempted commercial
transactions with members of the Arab League due to the
boycott is uncertain; and
Whereas the United States has a policy of prohibiting
United States firms from providing Arab States with the
requested information about compliance to boycott regulation:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives
concurring).
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This resolution may be cited as the ``Anti-Boycott
Resolution of 1993''.
SEC. 2. EXPRESSION OF CONGRESSIONAL VIEWS.
The Congress--
(1) believes the continuation of the Arab League boycott of
Israel will be a severe impediment to the economic prosperity
of all participating nations and to the establishment of a
lasting peace and prosperity in the Middle East;
(2) believes the secondary and tertiary boycott cause
substantial economic losses to United States firms;
(3) welcomes the actions by those members of the Arab
League that have begun dismantling the secondary and tertiary
boycott, and urges them to continue their efforts until a
complete dissolution of the primary, secondary, and tertiary
boycott is achieved;
(4) hopes that the indefinite postponement of the October
24, 1993, meeting of the Central Boycott Committee signals an
end to the placement of more United States firms on the
boycott list and a willingness to dismantle the boycott in
its entirety;
(5) urges those states that have begun to or are
considering dismantling all forms of the boycott to proceed
promptly with such dismantlement;
(6) urges those states that are still enforcing the boycott
to dismantle the boycott in all its forms and to issue the
necessary laws, rules, and regulations to ensure that United
States firms have free and open access to Arab markets
regardless of their business relationships with Israel;
(7) urges those states, in addition, to cease enforcing and
requiring participation in the boycott in its primary,
secondary, and tertiary forms;
(8) urges the United States Government to continue to raise
the boycott as an unfair trade practice in every appropriate
international trade forum; and
(9) expresses the sense of the Congress that the end of the
Arab League boycott of Israel is of great urgency to the
United States Government and will continue to be a priority
issue in all bilateral relations with participating states
until its complete dissolution.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. LaROCCO, recognized Mr. HAMILTON and Mr.
GILMAN, each for 20 minutes.
After debate,
The question being put, viva voce,
Will the House suspend the rules and agree to said concurrent
resolution?

So, two-thirds of the Members present having voted in favor thereof,
the rules were suspended and said conference report was agreed to.
A motion to reconsider the vote whereby the rules were suspended and
said conference report was agreed to was, by unanimous consent, laid on
the table.
Ordered, That the Clerk notify the Senate thereof.
Para. 139.23 providing for the consideration of h.r. 3
Mr. DERRICK, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the
following resolution (H. Res. 319):
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. 3) to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act
of 1971 to provide for a voluntary system of spending limits
and benefits for congressional election campaigns, and for
other purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be
dispensed with. 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
House Administration, 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 House
Administration now printed in the bill, modified by the
amendment printed in part 1 of the report of the Committee on
Rules accompanying this resolution. The committee amendment
in the nature of a substitute, as modified, shall be
considered as read. No amendment to the committee amendment
in the nature of a substitute, as modified, shall be in order
except the amendment printed in part 2 of the report of the
Committee on Rules, which may be offered only by a Member
designated in the report, shall be considered as read, shall
be debatable for the time specified in the report equally
divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, and
shall not be subject to amendment. 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. 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 any
amendment thereto to final passage without intervening motion
except one motion to recommit, which may not include
instructions. After passage of H.R. 3, it shall be in order
to take from the Speaker's table the bill S. 3 and to
consider the Senate bill in the House. It shall be in order
to move to strike all after the enacting clause of the Senate
bill and to insert in lieu hereof the provisions of H.R. 3 as
passed by the House. If the motion is adopted and the Senate
bill, as amended, is passed, then it shall be in order to
move the House insist on its amendments to S. 3 and request a
conference with the Senate thereon.
Pending consideration of said resolution,
Para. 139.24 point of order
Mr. SOLOMON made a point of order against consideration of the
resolution, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order against consideration of this
rule on the ground that it is in violation of clause 4(b) of House rule
XI.
``Clause 4(b) of House rule XI provides that, 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.
``If anyone wants to look at clause 4 of rule XVI, you are welcome to.
``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
shall be in order,--
``Not may, but shall be in order--
and the Speaker shall give preference in recognition for
such purposes to a Member who is opposed to the bill or joint
resolution.
``Mr. Speaker, those two clauses were adopted as amendments to House
rules on March 15, 1909, when the minority party Democrats--let me
repeat that, the minority party Democrats--joined with a group of
insurgent Republicans to guarantee greater minority rights.
``Did you hear that, Mr. Speaker? I said Republicans who were in the
majority--it does not happen very often around here--joined with
minority Democrats to guarantee greater rights for the Democrats, when
they were in the minority. What has happened since then?
``Prior to this rules revision, the motion to recommit was controlled
by the majority party. 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.
``House Resolution 319, that we are considering right now, on the
other hand, provides that the motion to recommit, and I quote: `may not
contain instructions.'
``That is a renege on the promises of the Democrat leadership. It is
therefore in direct violation of this rule which was purposely designed
to guarantee the minority a vote on its alternative by way of
instructions.
``Mr. Speaker, in support of this argument--I hate to take up the time
of the body, but you know, you have got to be fair--I quote first from
the author of clause 4(b) of rule XI and clause 4 of rule XVI on the day
he offered the amendment.
``It is a very famous name, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, a Democrat from
New York. He is a good man. I knew John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
``In his words:
Under our present practice, if a Member desires to move to
recommit with instructions, the Speaker, instead of
recognizing the Member desiring to submit a specific
proposition by instructions, recognizes the gentleman in
charge of the bill and he moves to recommit, and upon that
motion demands
[[Page 1812]]
the previous question is ordered, the motion to recommit is
voted down.
``And he went on: `Under our practice the motion to recommit might
better be eliminated from the rules altogether.'
``The subsequent rulings of Speakers confirm that the whole purpose
of the new rule was to permit the minority a chance to offer a final
amendment in a motion to recommit with instructions.
``Speaker Champ Clark ruled on May 14, 1912, 3 years later, and I
quote:
It is not necessary to go into the history of how this
particular rule came to be adopted, but that it was intended
that the right to make the motion to recommit should be
preserved inviolate the chair has no doubt whatever.
``That was Champ Clark back in 1912, Mr. Speaker.
``That is from a precedent found in volume 8 of Cannon's Precedents
at section 2757. From that same volume at section 2727 is found a
precedent from October 7, 1919. Former Speaker Crisp is quoted as
follows:
The object of the motion to recommit is clearly to give the
minority of the House * * * a chance affirmatively to go on
record as to what they think this legislation should be, and
if a motion to recommit does not permit that, then the motion
is futile.
``Speaker Gillett, in deciding the point of order on that occasion
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. * * * The whole purpose of this motion
to recommit is to have a record vote on the program of the
minority. That is the main purpose of the motion to recommit,
* * *
``And it goes on, and on, and on, and on. I could cite these
precedents for hours standing here.
``Speaker Bankhead, in a 1939 ruling, found in volume 7 of Deschler's
Precedents, chapter 23, section 26.1, said of this rule and I quote:
The purpose of the motion to recommit * * * is to give
Members opposed to the bill an opportunity to have an
expression of opinion by the House upon their proposition.
``Republican or Democrat, if they are in opposition, they ought to
have that chance, he is saying.
``Mr. Speaker, the whole key to this point of order and the underlying
rules at issue here is what is meant in clause 4(b) of rule XI when it
prohibits the Rules Committee from reporting a rule which denies the
motion to recommit `as provided in clause 4 of rule XVI.'
``It is not sufficient for the Rules Committee simply to permit a
straight motion to recommit, as they are doing in this rule, which
prohibits instructions, since the authors of the 1909 rule provided for
more than that. They have to be fair. What they clearly had in mind was
to provide the minority an opportunity to get a final vote on their
position if they wished, through amendatory recommittal instructions.
``Indeed, in Deschler's Precedents, volume 7, chapter 23, section 25,
this is made abundantly clear, and I qoute:
There are in the rules of the House four motions to refer:
the ordinary motion provided for in the first sentence of
clause 4, rule XVI when a question is ``under debate;'' the
motion to recommit with or without instructions after the
previous question has been ordered on a bill or joint
resolution to final passage provided in the second sentence
of clause 4, rule XVI * * *.
``Mr. Speaker, that second sentence of clause 4 of rule XVI is the
1909 rule that is at issue in this point of order, and while it does not
specifically mention instructions, it is clear from the legislative
history behind the rule as well as this recent interpretation from
Deschler's that the right of the minority to offer instructions in a
motion to recommit is not only implied by the rule but is the whole
reason for the adoption of the rule in the first place.
``Mr. Speaker, the only precedent contradicting this interpretation
was a 1934 ruling by the chair that a rule prohibition certain
amendments during consideration of a bill did not violate rule XI,
clause 4(b) even though it restricted the minority's right to offer
amendatory instructions.
``Mr. Speaker, I say, only during your tenure; not you because you're
the acting Speaker, but only during the present Speaker's tenure here
has the Chair relied on that one precedent alone to uphold the rule
which has completely blocked all instructions in a motion to recommit.
``Mr. Speaker, it should be obvious that the 1934 precedent allowing
for restricting amendatory instructions was wrongly decided because it
led to the situation which allows for denying any motion to recommit
which contains amendments and that is clearly violative of the intent
behind the 1909 rule that is currently the law and the rule of this
House. To allow that precedent to stand is to render the rule and the
minority right it was intended to guarantee back in those days, the
Democrat minority, to render it null and void. It is not only a
violation of the spirit of this rule, but it is a violation of the
literal essence of the rule as well, and my colleagues all know it.
``I therefore urge that the Chair reverse the 1934 precedent and
recent rulings based on it by sustaining my point of order for the sake
of upholding the tradition, the spirit, and the letter of the rule in
question.
``Mr. Speaker, I will ask for a ruling.''.
Mr. DERRICK was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``Mr. Speaker, I wish to be heard on the point of order.
``The gentleman from New York [Mr. Solomon] 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 only the simple motion to recommit
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. Mr. Speaker, so long as the
minority's right to offer a simple motion to recommit is protected, 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.
``I will not rehearse the precedents and history of this point.
Suffice it to say that Speaker Rainey, on January 11, 1934, so ruled
and was sustained on appeal.
``The parliamentary point has been reaffirmed several times in the
last few years, by ruling of the Chair, and when the ruling was
challenged, it has been sustained on appeal.
``The precedents are clear and unequivocal. If the rule does not
deprive the minority of the right to offer a simple motion to recommit,
then the rule does not violate the spirit or the letter of clause 4(b)
of rule XI. Mr. Speaker, I urge that the point of order be
overruled.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. LaROCCO, overruled the point of order,
and said:
``Based upon the precedents cited in section 729c of the House Rules
and Manual, the point of order is overruled.''.
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, Mr. LaROCCO, 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.

Para. 139.31 war in the pacific national historic park
On motion of Mr. VENTO, by unanimous consent, the bill (H.R. 1944) to
provide for additional development at War in the Pacific National
Historical Park, and for other purposes; together with the following
amendment of the Senate thereto, was taken from the Speaker's table:
Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that--
(1) June 15 through August 10, 1994, marks the 50th
anniversary of the Mariana campaign of World War II in which
United States forces captured the Japanese islands of Saipan
and Tinian and liberated the United States Territory of Guam
from Japan;
(2) an attack during this campaign by the Japanese combined
fleet, aimed at annihilating the United States forces that
had landed on Saipan, led to the battle of the Philippine
Sea, which resulted in a crushing defeat for the Japanese by
United States naval forces and the destruction of the
effectiveness of the Japanese carrier-based airpower;
(3) the recapture of Guam liberated one of the few pieces
of United States territory that was occupied by the enemy
during World War II and restored United States Government to
more than 20,000 native Guamanians;
(4) units of the United States Army, Navy, Marine Corps,
and Coast Guard fought with great bravery and sacrifice,
suffering casualties of approximately 5,700 killed and
missing and 21,900 wounded in action;
(5) United States forces succeeded in destroying all
Japanese garrisons in Saipan, Tinian, and Guam, which
resulted in Japanese military casualties of 54,000 dead and
21,900 taken prisoner;
(6) Guamanians, notably members of the Navy Insular Force
Guard and volunteer militia, bravely resisted the invasion
and occupation of their island, and ultimately assisted in
the expulsion of Japanese forces from Guam;
[[Page 1815]]
(7) at the hands of the Japanese, the people of Guam--
(A) were forcibly removed from their homes;
(B) were relocated to remote sections of the island;
(C) were required to perform forced labor and faced other
harsh treatment, injustices, and death; and
(D) were eventually placed in concentration camps and
subjected to retribution when the liberation of their island
became apparent to the Japanese;
(8) the seizure of the Mariana Islands severed Japanese
lines of communication between Japan proper and those
remaining Japanese bases and forces in the Central Pacific
south of the Mariana Islands and in the South Pacific as
well;
(9) the Mariana Islands provided large island areas on
which advance bases could be constructed to support further
operations against Japanese possessions and conquered
territories such as Iwo Jima and Okinawa, the Philippines,
Taiwan, and the south China coast, and ultimately against the
Japanese home islands;
(10) the Mariana Islands provided, for the first time
during the war, island air bases from which United States
land-based airpower could reach Japan itself; and
(11) the air offensive staged from the Mariana Islands
against Japanese cities and economic infrastructure helped
shorten the war and vitiate the need for the invasion and
capture of the Japanese home islands.
SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) an appropriate commemoration of the 50th anniversary of
the Mariana campaign should be planned; and
(2) the Secretary of the Interior should take all necessary
steps to ensure that two visitors centers to provide
appropriate facilities for the interpretation of the events
described in section 1 are completed, one at the War in the
Pacific National Historical Park and one at the American
Memorial Park, before June 15, 1994, the beginning of the
50th anniversary of the campaign.
SEC. 3. WAR IN THE PACIFIC NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK.
Section 6(k) of the Act entitled ``An Act to authorize
appropriations for certain insular areas of the United
States, and for other purposes'', approved August 18, 1978
(92 Stat. 493; 16 U.S.C. 410 dd(k)), is amended by striking
``$500,000'' and inserting in lieu thereof ``$8,000,000''.
SEC. 4. AMERICAN MEMORIAL PARK.
Section 5(g) of the Act entitled ``An Act to authorize
appropriations for certain insular areas of the United
States, and for other purposes'', approved August 18, 1978
(92 Stat. 492), is amended by striking ``$3,000,000'' and
inserting in lieu thereof ``$8,000,000''.
On motion of Mr. VENTO, said Senate amendment was agreed to with the
following amendment:
In lieu of the matter inserted by the Senate amendment,
insert the following:
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that--
(1) June 15 through August 10, 1994, marks the 50th
anniversary of the Mariana campaign of World War II in which
American forces captured the islands of Saipan and Tinian in
the Northern Marianas and liberated the United States
Territory of Guam from Japanese occupation;
(2) an attack during this campaign by the Japanese Imperial
fleet, aimed at countering the American forces that had
landed on Saipan, led to the battle of the Philippine Sea,
which resulted in a crushing defeat for the Japanese by
United States naval forces and the destruction of the
effectiveness of the Japanese carrier-based airpower;
(3) the recapture of Guam liberated one of the few pieces
of United States territory that was occupied for two and one-
half years by the enemy during World War II and restored
freedom to the indigenous Chamorros on Guam who suffered as a
result of the Japanese occupation;
(4) Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard units
distinguished themselves with their heroic bravery and
sacrifice;
(5) the Guam Insular Force Guard, the Guam militia, and the
people of Guam earned the highest respect for their defense
of the island during the Japanese invasion and their
resistance during the occupation; their assistance to the
American forces as scouts for the American invasion was
invaluable; and their role, as members of the Guam Combat
Patrol, was instrumental in seeking out the remaining
Japanese forces and restoring peace to the island;
(6) during the occupation, the people of Guam--
(A) were forcibly removed from their homes;
(B) were relocated to remote sections of the island;
(C) were required to perform forced labor and faced other
harsh treatment, injustices, and death; and
(D) were placed in concentration camps when the American
invasion became imminent and were brutalized by their
occupiers when the liberation of Guam became apparent to the
Japanese;
(7) the liberation of the Mariana Islands marked a pivotal
point in the Pacific war and led to the American victories at
Iwo Jima, Okinawa, the Philippines, Taiwan, and the south
China coast, and ultimately against the Japanese home
islands;
(8) the Mariana Islands of Guam, Saipan, and Tinian
provided, for the first time during the war, air bases which
allowed land-based American bombers to reach strategic
targets in Japan; and
(9) the air offensive conducted from the Marianas against
the Japanese war-making capability helped shorten the war and
ultimately reduced the toll of lives to secure peace in the
Pacific.
SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) an appropriate commemoration of the 50th anniversary of
the Mariana campaign should be planned by the United States
in conjunction with the Government of Guam and the Government
of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands;
(2) the Secretary of the Interior should take all necessary
steps to ensure that appropriate visitor facilities at War in
the Pacific National Historical Park on Guam are
expeditiously developed and constructed; and
(3) the Secretary of the Interior should take all necessary
steps to ensure that the monument referenced in section 3(b)
is completed before July 21, 1994, for the 50th anniversary
commemoration, to provide adequate historical interpretation
of the events described in section 1.
SEC. 3. WAR IN THE PACIFIC NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK.
(a) Authorization of Appropriations.--Subsection (k) of
section 6 of the Act entitled ``An Act to authorize
appropriations for certain insular areas of the United
States, and for other purposes'', approved August 18, 1978
(92 Stat. 493; 16 U.S.C. 410dd) is amended by striking
``$500,000'' and inserting ``$8,000,000''.
(b) Development.--Section 6 is further amended by adding at
the end the following subsections:
``(l) Within the boundaries of the park, the Secretary is
authorized to construct a monument which shall commemorate
the loyalty of the people of Guam and the heroism of the
American forces that liberated Guam.
``(m) Within the boundaries of the park, the Secretary is
authorized to implement programs to interpret experiences of
the people of Guam during World War II, including, but not
limited to, oral histories of those people of Guam who
experienced the occupation.
``(n) Within six months after the date of enactment of this
subsection, the Secretary, through the Director of the
National Park Service, shall develop and transmit to the
Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate and
the Committee on Natural Resources of the House of
Representatives a report containing updated cost estimates
for the development of the park. Further, this report shall
contain a general plan to implement subsections (l) and (m),
including, at a minimum, cost estimates for the design and
construction of the monument authorized in section (l).
``(o) The Secretary may take such steps as may be necessary
to preserve and protect various World War II vintage weapons
and fortifications which exist within the boundaries of the
park''.

or units (and to new employees within 30 days after
commencement of their employment) written notification
presented in a manner to inform any such employee--

and operation of, or solicitation of contributions to, a
political committee, political communications to members, and
voter registration and get-out-the-vote campaigns;
``(ii) that no employee may be required actually to join
any labor organization, but if a collective bargaining
agreement covering an employee purports to require membership

condition of employment, the employee may elect instead to
pay an agency fee to the labor organization;

organization's exclusive representation services to the
employee's collective bargaining unit, including collective
bargaining, contract administration, and grievance
adjustment;

the total spending by the labor organization for political
activities;
``(v) that the cost of the labor organization's exclusive
representation services, and the amount of spending by such
organization for political activities, shall be computed on
the basis of such cost and spending for the immediately
preceding fiscal year of such organization; and
``(vi) of the amount of the labor organization's full
membership dues, initiation fees, and assessments for the
current year; the amount of the reduced membership dues,
subtracting the employee's pro rata share of the
organization's spending for political activities, for the
current year; and the amount of the agency fee for the
current year.
``(C) The requirements of this subparagraph are met only if
the labor organization provides all represented employees an
annual examination by an independent certified public
accountant of financial statements supplied by such
organization which attests that the expenditures which the
union claimed it made for certain expenses were actually made
for those expenses. Such examination shall be conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
``(D) The requirements of this subparagraph are met only if
the labor organization--
[[Page 1821]]
``(i) maintains procedures to promptly determine the costs
that may properly be charged to agency fee payors as costs of
exclusive representation, and explains such procedures in the
written notification required under subparagraph (B); and
``(ii) if any person challenges the costs which may be
properly charged as costs of exclusive representation--
``(I) provides a mutually selected impartial decisionmaker
to hear and decide such challenge pursuant to rules of
discovery and evidence and subject to de novo review by the
National Labor Relations Board or an applicable court; and
``(II) places in escrow amounts reasonably in dispute
pending the outcome of the challenge.
``(E)(i) A labor organization that does not satisfy the
requirements of subparagraphs (B), (C), and (D) shall finance
any expenditures specified in subparagraphs (A), (B), or (C)
of paragraph (2) only with funds legally collected under this
Act for its separate segregated fund.
``(ii) For purposes of this paragraph, subparagraph (A) of
paragraph (2) shall apply only with respect to communications
expressly advocating the election or defeat of any clearly
identified candidate for elective public office.''.

funds from the separate account to the campaign account so
long as a majority of the total funds contributed or
transferred to the campaign account were raised from local
individual residents after December 31, 1992. No funds may be
transferred from a separate account of a candidate to a
campaign account of the candidate after the date of the 1994
general election.

by reason of subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (2) of
section 316(b), is not a contribution or expenditure;
shall report such payment to the Commission in the same
manner as a contribution or expenditure, as the case may be,
is reported by a principal campaign committee of a candidate
for the House of Representatives or the Senate under this
section.''.
SEC. 10. PROHIBITION OF BUNDLING OF CONTRIBUTIONS TO
CANDIDATES BY POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEES AND
LOBBYISTS.
Section 316 of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (2
U.S.C. 441b) is amended by adding at the end the following
new subsection:

candidate for Federal office.''.
SEC. 11. PROHIBITION OF TRANSFERS AMONG NONCANDIDATE,
NONPARTY POLITICAL COMMITTEES.

amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:
``(l) A noncandidate, nonparty political committee may not
make contributions, or otherwise transfer funds, to any other
noncandidate, nonparty political committee. As used in this
subsection, the term `noncandidate, nonparty political
committee' means a political committee that is not an
authorized committee of a candidate for Federal office and is
not a political committee of a political party.''.
SEC. 12. PROHIBITION OF LEADERSHIP COMMITTEES; RESTRICTION ON
CONTRIBUTIONS BETWEEN PRINCIPAL CAMPAIGN
COMMITTEES.

of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (2 U.S.C. 441a),
as amended by sections 2, 4, 5, and 11, is further amended by
adding at the end the following new subsection:
``(m) A principal campaign committee of a candidate for
Federal office may not make any contribution to any other
principal campaign committee (other than the principal
campaign committee of the same individual as a candidate for
another Federal office).''.

Para. 140.14 motion to instruct conferees--h.r. 1025
Mr. SENSENBRENNER submitted the privileged motion to instruct the
managers on the part of the House at the conference with the Senate on
the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the bill (H.R. 1025) to
provide for a waiting period before the purchase of a handgun, and for
the establishment of a national instant criminal background check system
to be contacted by firearms dealers before the transfer of any firearms,
to accept section 302(d) of the Senate amendment, and subsection
(i)(1)(A) of the matter proposed to be added by section 302(e) of the
Senate amendment.
After debate,
On motion of Mr. SENSENBRENNER, the previous question was ordered on
the motion to instruct the managers on the part of the House.
The question being put, viva voce,
Will the House agree to said motion?
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. ANDREWS of Maine, 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.
Para. 140.15 appointment of conferees--h.r. 1025
Thereupon, the SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. ANDREWS of Maine, by unanimous
consent, announced the appointment of Messrs. Brooks, Hughes, Schumer,
Sensenbrenner, and Gekas as managers on the part of the House at said
conference.
Ordered, That the Clerk notify the Senate thereof.
Para. 140.16 providing for the consideration of h.r. 3400
Mr. GORDON, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the
following resolution (H. Res. 320):
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. 3400) to provide a more effective, efficient,
and responsive government. The first reading of the bill
shall be dispensed with. All points or order against
consideration of the bill 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 Majority Leader and the Minority Leader.
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, the amendment
in the nature of a substitute specified in part 1 of the
report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution
shall be considered as adopted in the House and in the
Committee of the Whole. The bill, as so amended, shall be
considered as the original bill for the purpose of further
amendment. All points of order against the bill, as so
amended, are waived. The bill, as so amended, shall be
considered as read. No amendment to the bill, as so amended,
shall be in order except those printed in part 2 of the
report of the Committee on Rules. Each amendment may be
offered and shall be disposed of only in the order printed in
the report, may be offered only by a Member designated in the
report, shall be considered as read, shall be debatable under
the terms specified in the report, shall not be subject to
amendment except as specified in the report, 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
the amendments printed in the report are waived. At the
conclusion of consideration of the bill for amendment the
Committee shall rise and report the bill, as so amended, to
the House with such further amendment 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, as so amended, or to any further amendment in the
nature of a substitute adopted in the Committee of the Whole.
The previous question shall be considered as ordered on the
bill, as so amended, and any amendment thereto to final
passage without intervening motion except one motion to
recommit, which may not include instructions.
Pending consideration of said resolution,
Para. 140.17 point of order
Mr. GOSS made a point of order against consideration of said
resolution, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order against the consideration of
House Resolution 320 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.
``Clause 4(b) of House rule XI provides that, 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.
``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
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.
``Mr. Speaker, as was said last night, those two clauses were adopted
as amendments to House rules on March 15, 1909, when the minority party
Democrats joined with a group of insurgent Republicans to guarantee
greater minority rights.
``Mr. Speaker, I will not repeat all the arguments I made on the
preceding rule which contained the same wording which denied any
instructions on the motion to recommit.
``Nor will I quote all the Speakers I previously cited who affirmed
that this motion was designed in 1909 to permit the minority to offer
its final amendment to a bill.
``Nor will I explain again why the one Speaker who misruled on this
point in 1934 was wrong and should be overturned.
``All this has been amply documented. All that remains to be done is
for the present occupant of the Chair to admit that the single ruling in
1934 on which all the recent rulings have been based was erroneous and
should be overturned.
``Just as the Supreme Court overturned a bad precedent in 1954 to
guar-
[[Page 1836]]
antee minority rights, so too can this Speaker overturn a bad precedent
and restore the minority rights that were originally established back in
1909.
``I strongly urge the Chair to sustain my point of order and thereby
restore the rights that are rightfully ours according to the legislative
history and intent behind this rule.''.
Mr. GORDON was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``Mr. Speaker, I do wish to be heard on this point of order.
``Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from Florida [Mr. Goss] 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 only the simple motion to recommit
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. Mr. Speaker, so long as the
minority's right to offer a simple motion to recommit is protected, 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.
``I will not respect the precedents and history of this point. Suffice
it to say that Speaker Rainey, on January 11, 1934 so ruled and was
sustained on appeal.
``The parliamentary point has been reaffirmed several times in the
last few years, by ruling of the Chair, and when the ruling was
challenged, it has been sustained on appeal.
``The precedents are clear and unequivocal. If the rule does not
deprive the minority of the right to offer a simple motion to recommit,
then the rule does not violate the spirit or the letter of clause 4(b)
of rule XI. Mr. Speaker, I urge that the point of order be overruled.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. ANDREWS of Maine, overruled the point of
order, and said:
``The Chair is now prepared to rule. Under the precedents cited in
section 729(C) of the House Rules and Manual, and as reiterated as
recently as yesterday afternoon, the Chair overrules the point of
order.''.
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?
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. ANDREWS of Maine, 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.

TITLE VI--DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
SEC. 6001. MULTIFAMILY PROPERTY DISPOSITION.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) the portfolio of multifamily housing project mortgages
insured by the FHA is severely troubled and at risk of
default, requiring the Secretary to increase loss reserves
from $5,500,000,000 in 1991 to $11,900,000,000 in 1992 to
cover estimated future losses;
(2) the inventory of multifamily housing projects owned by
the Secretary has more than tripled since 1989, and, by the
end of 1993, may exceed 75,000 units;
(3) the cost to the Federal Government of owning and
maintaining multifamily housing projects escalated to
approximately $250,000,000 in fiscal year 1992;
(4) the inventory of multifamily housing projects subject
to mortgages held by the Secretary has increased
dramatically, to more than 2,400 mortgages, and approximately
half of these mortgages, with over 230,000 units, are
delinquent;
(5) the inventory of insured and formerly insured
multifamily housing projects is rapidly deteriorating,
endangering tenants and neighborhoods;
(6) over 5 million families today have a critical need for
housing that is affordable and habitable; and
(7) the current statutory framework governing the
disposition of multifamily housing projects effectively
impedes the Government's ability to dispose of properties,
protect tenants, and ensure that projects are maintained over
time.
(b) Management and Disposition of Multifamily Housing
Projects.--Section 203 of the Housing and Community
Development Amendments of 1978 (12 U.S.C. 1701z-11) is

resides in a unit in the project on the date of disposition
may not pay as rent for the unit an amount in excess of 30

that the Secretary plans to make available to a prospective
purchaser in accordance with this section. The initial sales
price shall be reasonably related to the intended use of the

``(3) Expression of interest.--The unit of general local
government or designated State agency may submit to the
Secretary a preliminary expression of interest in a project
not later than 45 days after receiving notification from the
Secretary under paragraph (1) regarding the project. The
Secretary may take such actions as may be necessary to
require the unit of general local government or designated
State agency to substantiate such interest.
``(4) Timely expression of interest.--If the unit of
general local government or designated State agency has
submitted an expression of interest in a project before the
expiration of the 45-day period referred to in paragraph (3)

project, shall--
``(A) notify the unit of general local government and
designated State agency of the terms and conditions of the
disposition plan; and
``(B) provide that, for 90 days after the date of such

designated State agency may make an offer to purchase the
project.
``(5) Failure to timely express interest.--If the unit of
general local government or designated State agency does not
timely express and, if requested, substantiate interest in a
project as provided in paragraph (4), the Secretary may offer
the project for sale to any interested person or entity upon

in paragraph (4), the Secretary shall accept an offer made by
the unit of general local government or designated State
agency during the 90-day period for the project under
paragraph (4)(B) that complies with the terms and conditions
of the disposition plan for the project. The Secretary may
accept an offer that does not comply with the terms and
conditions of the disposition plan if the Secretary
determines that the offer will further the goals specified in
subsection (a) by actions that include extension of the
duration of low-income affordability restrictions or
otherwise restructuring the transaction in a manner that
enhances the long-term affordability for low-income persons.
The Secretary may reduce the initial sales price in exchange

beyond the period of assistance contemplated by the
attachment of assistance pursuant to subsection (i)(1) and in
order to facilitate affordable rents.
``(7) Failure to sell to local or state government
agency.--If the Secretary and the unit of general local

subsection.

``(1) In general.--Whenever tenants will be displaced as a
result of the disposition of, or repairs to, a multifamily
housing project that is owned by the Secretary (or for which
the Secretary is mortgagee in possession), the Secretary
shall identify tenants who will be displaced and shall notify
all such tenants of their pending displacement and of any
relocation assistance that may be available. In the case of

project, unless such sale is made as part of a transaction
that will ensure that such project will continue to operate
at least until the maturity date of such loan or mortgage, in
a manner that will provide rental housing on terms at least
as advantageous to existing and future tenants as the terms
required by the program under which the loan or mortgage was
made or insured prior to the assignment of the loan or
mortgage on such project to the Secretary.
``(2) Sale of certain projects.--The Secretary may not
approve the sale of any subsidized project--

advantageous to existing and future tenants as the terms
required by the program under which the loan or mortgage was
made or insured prior to the proposed sale of the project.
``(3) Mortgage sales to state and local governments.--
Notwithstanding any provision of law that requires
competitive sales or bidding, the Secretary may carry out
negotiated sales of subsidized or formerly subsidized
mortgages held by the Secretary, without the competitive
selection of purchasers or intermediaries, to units of
general local government or State agencies, or groups of
investors that include at least one such unit of general
local government or State agency, if the negotiations are

including, to the extent the Secretary determines
appropriate, authorizing such unit of local government or
State agency to enforce the provisions of any regulatory
agreement or other program requirements applicable to the
related projects; and

determination of the Secretary, the best prices that may be
obtained for such mortgages from a unit of general local
government or State agency, consistent with the expectation
and intention that the projects financed will be retained for
use under the applicable mortgage insurance program for the
life of the initial mortgage insurance contract.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary may
sell mortgages held on unsubsidized projects on such terms
and conditions as the Secretary may prescribe.

coal, any other mineral, or geothermal steam, from any
Federal or Indian lands or the Outer Continental Shelf, for
any production month, by any person who is responsible for

the value of the production which should have been reported

reported, if the value of the production which should have
been reported is greater than the value of the production
which was reported. An underreporting constitutes a
`substantial underreporting' if such difference exceeds 10
percent of the royalty on the value of the production which
should have been reported.
``(4) The Secretary shall not impose the assessment
provided in paragraphs (1) or (2) if the person corrects the
underreporting before the date the person receives notice

the basis on which it was reported, or

royalty on the value of the production on the basis on which

in such manner as the Secretary may by rule prescribe, of
relevant reasons or facts affecting the royalty treatment of
specific production which led to the underreporting, or
``(iv) the person meets any other exception which the
Secretary may, by rule, establish.

be deposited to the same accounts in the Treasury or paid to
the same recipients in the same manner as the royalty with
respect to which such penalty is paid.''.

SEC. 215. STUDY OF TERMINATION OF HELIUM SUBSIDY.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) the United States Government's helium recovery program
was instituted in 1925, when helium conservation was deemed
to be a matter of national security and no private sector
helium recovery industry existed;
(2) today, as compared to 1925, there is little likelihood
that the United States will have to field a fleet of blimps
on an emergency basis;
(3) private sources of helium are more than adequate for
serving existing and foreseeable future national needs;
(4) since 1925, there has been a dramatic increase in
private industry's involvement in helium recovery, as a
result of the free market discovery of numerous commercial
uses for helium;
(5) currently, private industry accounts for 90 percent of
all helium extraction and consumption;
(6) the Government's helium recovery program currently owes
the Department of the Treasury $1,400,000,000 and loses an
additional $120,000,000 yearly on interest alone, and there
is no prospect for repayment of this debt without significant
reform; and
(7) with combined public and private helium reserves
considerably in excess of foreseeable national helium needs,
there is no longer any need for the Federal Government to own
and operate a helium refining and marketing program.
(b) Study.--(1) The Secretary of the Interior, in
consultation with private industry, shall conduct a study to
determine how best to--
(A) sell or otherwise dispose of, at the best possible
terms available to the United States, all facilities,
equipment, and other real or personal property, or rights
thereto, held by the United States in connection with
activities carried out under the Helium Act, unless such
facilities, equipment, or other real or personal property, or
rights thereto, are required for other Federal purposes;
(B) sell or otherwise dispose of, at the best possible
terms available to the United States, the helium reserves
held by the United States other than amounts required for the
specific immediate needs of the Federal Government, in a
manner consistent with the orderly conduct of commercial
helium markets; and
(C) ensure the full repayment of loans made under section
12 of the Helium Act.
(2) The Secretary of the Interior shall transmit to the
Congress within one year after the date of enactment of this
Act a report containing the results of the study conducted
under paragraph (1).

insured by the FHA is severely troubled and at risk of
default, requiring the Secretary to increase loss reserves
from $5,500,000,000 in 1991 to $11,900,000,000 in 1992 to
cover estimated future losses;
(2) the inventory of multifamily housing projects owned by
the Secretary has more than tripled since 1989, and, by the
end of 1993, may exceed 75,000 units;
(3) the cost to the Federal Government of owning and
maintaining multifamily housing projects escalated to
approximately $250,000,000 in fiscal year 1992;
[[Page 1873]]

dramatically, to more than 2,400 mortgages, and approximately
half of these mortgages, with over 230,000 units, are
delinquent;

multifamily housing projects is rapidly deteriorating,
endangering tenants and neighborhoods;
(6) over 5 million families today have a critical need for
housing that is affordable and habitable; and

impedes the Government's ability to dispose of properties,
protect tenants, and ensure that projects are maintained over
time.

the 45-day period referred to in subparagraph (B), and has
substantiated such interest if requested, the Secretary, upon
approval of a disposition plan for a project, shall notify
the unit of general local government and designated State

duration of low-income affordability restrictions or
otherwise restructuring the transaction in a manner that
enhances the long-term affordability for low-income persons.
The Secretary shall, in particular, have discretion to reduce

income affordability restrictions beyond the period of
assistance contemplated by the attachment of assistance
pursuant to subsection (e). If the Secretary and the unit of
general local government or designated State agency cannot
reach agreement within 90 days, the Secretary may offer the

subsection, if the Secretary gives the unit of general local
government or designated State agency--

housing project that is owned by the Secretary (or for which
the Secretary is mortgagee in possession), the Secretary
shall identify tenants who will be displaced, and shall
notify all such tenants of their pending displacement and of
any relocation assistance which may be available. In the case

possession), the Secretary shall require the owner of the
project to carry out the requirements of this paragraph.

Association) on any subsidized project or formerly subsidized
project, unless such sale is made as part of a transaction
that will ensure that such project will continue to operate
at least until the maturity date of such loan or mortgage, in
a manner that will provide rental housing on terms at least
as advantageous to existing and future tenants as the terms
required by the program under which the loan or mortgage was
made or insured prior to the assignment of the loan or
mortgage on such project to the Secretary.
``(2) Sale of certain projects.--The Secretary may not
approve the sale of any subsidized project--
``(A) that is subject to a mortgage held by the Secretary;
or
``(B) if the sale transaction involves the provision of any
additional subsidy funds by the Secretary or a recasting of
the mortgage, unless such sale is made as part of a
transaction that will ensure that such project will continue
to operate at least until the maturity date of the loan or
mortgage, in a manner that will provide rental housing on
terms at least as advantageous to existing and future tenants
as the terms required by the program under which the loan or
mortgage was made or insured prior to the proposed sale of
the project.
``(3) Mortgage sales to state and local governments.--
Notwithstanding any provision of law that may require
competitive sales or bidding, the Secretary may carry out
negotiated sales of subsidized or formerly subsidized
mortgages held by the Secretary, without the competitive
selection of purchasers or intermediaries, to units of
general local government or State agencies, or groups of
investors that include at least one such unit of general
local government or State agency, if the negotiations are
conducted with such agencies, except that--

agreement of the purchasing agency or unit of local
government or State agency to act as mortgagee or owner of a
beneficial interest in such mortgages, in a manner consistent
with maintaining the projects that are subject to such
mortgages for occupancy by the general tenant group intended
to be served by the applicable mortgage insurance program,
including, to the extent the Secretary determines
appropriate, authorizing such unit of local government or
State agency to enforce the provisions of any regulatory
agreement or other program requirements applicable to the
related projects; and

determination of the Secretary, the best prices that may be
obtained for such mortgages from a unit of general local
government or State agency, consistent with the expectation
and intention that the projects financed will be retained for
use under the applicable mortgage insurance program for the
life of the initial mortgage insurance contract.

sell mortgages held on unsubsidized projects on such terms

Services shall provide by regulation for such exceptions and
adjustments to the payment amounts established for home
health services under section 1890(a) of the Social Security
Act (as added by paragraph (1)) as the Secretary deems
appropriate for services for which a home health agency
incurs costs that significantly exceed such payment amounts

TITLE VI--DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
SEC. 6001. MULTIFAMILY PROPERTY DISPOSITION.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) the portfolio of multifamily housing project mortgages
insured by the FHA is severely troubled and at risk of
default, requiring the Secretary to increase loss reserves
from $5,500,000,000 in 1991 to $11,900,000,000 in 1992 to
cover estimated future losses;
(2) the inventory of multifamily housing projects owned by
the Secretary has more than tripled since 1989, and, by the
end of 1993, may exceed 75,000 units;
(3) the cost to the Federal Government of owning and
maintaining multifamily housing projects escalated to
approximately $250,000,000 in fiscal year 1992;
(4) the inventory of multifamily housing projects subject
to mortgages held by the Secretary has increased
dramatically, to more than 2,400 mortgages, and approximately
half of these mortgages, with over 230,000 units, are
delinquent;
(5) the inventory of insured and formerly insured
multifamily housing projects is rapidly deteriorating,
endangering tenants and neighborhoods;
(6) over 5 million families today have a critical need for
housing that is affordable and habitable; and
(7) the current statutory framework governing the
disposition of multifamily housing projects effectively
impedes the Government's ability to dispose of properties,
protect tenants, and ensure that projects are maintained over
time.
(b) Management and Disposition of Multifamily Housing
Projects.--Section 203 of the Housing and Community
Development Amendments of 1978 (12 U.S.C. 1701z-11) is

``(2) will protect the financial interests of the Federal

``(3) will, in the least costly fashion among reasonable
available alternatives, further the goals of--
``(A) preserving housing so that it can remain available to

Secretary; and
``(D) the terms of such loan is consistent with prevailing
practices in the marketplace or the provision of such loan
results in no cost to the Government, as defined in section
502 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
``(2) Tenant-based assistance.--The Secretary may make
available tenant-based assistance under section 8 of the
United States Housing Act of 1937 to very low-income families

``(A) In general.--Notwithstanding any other provision of
law, after providing notice to and an opportunity to comment
by existing tenants, the Secretary may allow not more than--

project, community space, office space for tenant or housing-
related service providers or security programs, or small
business uses, if such uses benefit the tenants of the
project; and
``(ii) 5 percent of the total number of units in
multifamily housing projects that are disposed of by the
Secretary during any 1-year period to be used in any manner,
if the Secretary and the unit of general local government or
area-wide governing body determine that such use will further
fair housing, community development, or neighborhood
revitalization goals.
``(B) Displacement protection.--The Secretary may take
actions under subparagraph (A) only if--
``(i) tenant-based rental assistance under section 8 of the
United States Housing Act of 1937 is made available to each

a result of such actions; and
``(ii) the Secretary determines that sufficient habitable,
affordable rental housing is available in the market area in
which the project is located to allow use of such assistance.
``(g) Required Assistance for Certain Projects.--In
disposing under this section of multifamily housing projects,
the Secretary shall, to the extent that such assistance is
available--
``(1) in the case of any project located in a market area
in which habitable, affordable rental housing for very low-
income families is not sufficiently available, provide
tenant-based or project-based rental assistance under section
8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (depending on the
circumstances of the family) to very low-income families who
are preexisting tenants of the project and do not otherwise
qualify for project-based assistance; and

extent that such assistance is necessary to maintain the
financial viability of the project and is reasonably expected
to maintain such financial viability.
``(h) Rent Restrictions.--
``(1) Authority for use in unsubsidized projects.--In
carrying out the goals specified in subsection (a), the
Secretary may require certain units in unsubsidized projects
to be subject to use or rent restrictions providing that such

defined by the Secretary.
``(2) Requirement regarding subsidized and formerly
subsidized projects.--In disposing under this section of any
subsidized or formerly subsidized multifamily housing

may not pay as rent for the unit an amount in excess of 30
percent of the adjusted income of the family at any time
during the period beginning upon such disposition and ending
upon the earlier of--
``(A) 15 years after such disposition; or
``(B) the time at which the family first fails to qualify
as a very low-income family.
``(3) Requirement regarding unsubsidized projects.-- Unless
the Secretary determines that the applicability of rent
restrictions under this paragraph to a project would
unreasonably impede the disposition of the project, in
disposing under this section of any unsubsidized multifamily
housing project the Secretary shall require rent restrictions
providing that any unassisted very low-income family who
resides in a unit in the project on the date of disposition
may not pay as rent for the unit an amount in excess of 30
percent of the adjusted income of the family at any time
during the period beginning upon such disposition and ending
upon the earlier of--
``(A) 15 years after such disposition; or
``(B) the time at which the family first fails to qualify
as a very low-income family.
``(4) Phase-in of rent increases.--If the disposition under
this section of any multifamily housing project results in
any rent increases for any very low-income families who are
preexisting tenants of the project and are paying less than
30 percent of the adjusted income of the family for rent, the
Secretary shall provide that such rent increases shall be
phased in equally over a period of not less than 3 years.
``(5) Definition of `unassisted very low-income family'.--

be subject to the following requirements:
``(1) Contract term.--The contract shall have a term of 15
years, except that--
``(A) the term may be less than 15 years to the extent that
the Secretary finds that, based on the rental charges and
financing for the multifamily housing project to which the
contract relates, the financial viability of the project can
be maintained under a contract having such a term;
``(B) to the extent that units receive project-based
assistance for a contract term of less than 15 years, the
Secretary shall require that the mount of rent payable by
tenants of the project for such units shall not exceed the
amount payable for rent under section 3(a) of the United
States Housing Act of 1937 for a period of at least 15 years;
and
``(C) the term may be less than 15 years if such assistance
is provided--

housing project that is owned by the Secretary, the Secretary
shall develop an initial disposition plan for the project
that specifies the minimum terms and conditions of the
Secretary for disposition of the project, the initial sales
price that is acceptable to the Secretary, and the assistance
that the Secretary plans to make available to a prospective
purchaser in accordance with this section. The initial sales
price shall be reasonably related to the intended use of the
property after sale, any rehabilitation requirements for the
project, the rents for units in the project that can be
supported by the market, the amount of rental assistance
available for the project under section 8 of the United
States Housing Act of 1937, and the occupancy profile of the
project.
``(2) Community and tenant input.--In carrying out this
section, the Secretary shall develop procedures--
``(A) to obtain appropriate and timely input into
disposition plans from officials of the unit of general local
government affected, the community in which the project is

designated by the Governor of the State in which the project
is located of such acquisition.
``(2) Right of first refusal.--During the period beginning
upon acquisition of title to a multifamily housing project

government or designated State agency may submit to the
Secretary a preliminary expression of interest in a project

require the unit of general local government or designated
State agency to substantiate such interest.
``(4) Timely expression of interest.--If the unit of
general local government or designated State agency has
submitted an expression of interest in a project before the
expiration of the 45-day period referred to in paragraph (3)

disposition plan; and
``(B) provide that, for 90 days after the date of such

project.
``(5) Failure to timely express interest.--If the unit of
general local government or designated State agency does not
timely express and, if requested, substantiate interest in a
project as provided in paragraph (4), the Secretary may offer
the project for sale to any interested person or entity upon
approval of the disposition plan for the project.
``(6) Acceptance of offers.--If the unit of general local
government or designated State agency timely expresses and,

in paragraph (4), the Secretary shall accept an offer made by
the unit of general local government or designated State
agency during the 90-day period for the project under
paragraph (4)(B) that complies with the terms and conditions
of the disposition plan for the project. The Secretary may
accept an offer that does not comply with the terms and
conditions of the disposition plan if the Secretary
determines that the offer will further the goals specified in
subsection (a) by actions that include extension of the
duration of low-income affordability restrictions or
otherwise restructuring the transaction in a manner that
enhances the long-term affordability for low-income persons.
The Secretary may reduce the initial sales price in exchange
for the extension of low-income affordability restrictions
beyond the period of assistance contemplated by the
attachment of assistance pursuant to subsection (i)(1) and in
order to facilitate affordable rents.

agency.--If the Secretary and the unit of general local

203(e) (as in effect immediately before the effective date of
this subsection); or
``(B) the requirements of paragraphs (1) through (7) of
this subsection, if--

notification of the terms and conditions of the disposition
plan to make an offer to purchase the project.
``(10) Transfer by local or state government agency
purchasers.--The Secretary shall permit units of general
local government and designated State agencies to transfer
multifamily housing projects acquired under the right of
first refusal under this subsection to a private entity, but
only if the local government or State agency clearly
identifies its intention to transfer the project in the offer
to purchase the property accepted by the Secretary under this
subsection.
``(l) Displacement of Tenants and Relocation Assistance.--
``(1) In general.--Whenever tenants will be displaced as a
result of the disposition of, or repairs to, a multifamily
housing project that is owned by the Secretary (or for which
the Secretary is mortgagee in possession), the Secretary
shall identify tenants who will be displaced and shall notify
all such tenants of their pending displacement and of any
relocation assistance that may be available. In the case of

Housing Act of 1937; or
``(D) to receive any other available relocation assistance
as the Secretary determines to be appropriate.
``(m) Mortgage and Project Sales.--
``(1) In general.--The Secretary may not approve the sale
of any loan or mortgage held by the Secretary (including any
loan or mortgage owned by the Government National Mortgage
Association) on any subsidized project or formerly subsidized
project, unless such sale is made as part of a transaction
that will ensure that such project will continue to operate
at least until the maturity date of such loan or mortgage, in
a manner that will provide rental housing on terms at least
as advantageous to existing and future tenants as the terms
required by the program under which the loan or mortgage was
made or insured prior to the assignment of the loan or
mortgage on such project to the Secretary.
``(2) Sale of certain projects.--The Secretary may not
approve the sale of any subsidized project--
``(A) that is subject to a mortgage held by the Secretary,
or
``(B) if the sale transaction involves the provision of any
additional subsidy funds by the Secretary or a recasting of
the mortgage,
[[Page 1888]]
unless such sale is made as part of a transaction that will
ensure that the project will continue to operate, at least
until the maturity date of the loan or mortgage, in a manner

advantageous to existing and future tenants as the terms
required by the program under which the loan or mortgage was
made or insured prior to the proposed sale of the project.
``(3) Mortgage sales to state and local governments.--
Notwithstanding any provision of law that requires
competitive sales or bidding, the Secretary may carry out
negotiated sales of subsidized or formerly subsidized
mortgages held by the Secretary, without the competitive
selection of purchasers or intermediaries, to units of
general local government or State agencies, or groups of
investors that include at least one such unit of general
local government or State agency, if the negotiations are
conducted with such agencies, except that--
``(A) the terms of any such sale shall include the
agreement of the purchasing agency or unit of local
government or State agency to act as mortgagee or owner of a
beneficial interest in such mortgages, in a manner consistent
with maintaining the projects that are subject to such
mortgages for occupancy by the general tenant group intended
to be served by the applicable mortgage insurance program,
including, to the extent the Secretary determines
appropriate, authorizing such unit of local government or
State agency to enforce the provisions of any regulatory
agreement or other program requirements applicable to the
related projects; and
``(B) the sales prices for such mortgages shall be, in the
determination of the Secretary, the best prices that may be
obtained for such mortgages from a unit of general local
government or State agency, consistent with the expectation
and intention that the projects financed will be retained for
use under the applicable mortgage insurance program for the
life of the initial mortgage insurance contract.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary may
sell mortgages held on unsubsidized projects on such terms

section 203(b) of the Housing and Community Development
Amendments of 1978) and the Secretary determines that partial
payment would be less costly to the Federal Government than

mortgage insurance contract; and
``(2) recast the mortgage, under such terms and conditions
as the Secretary may determine.

TITLE VII--DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
SEC. 7001. IMPROVEMENT OF MINERALS MANAGEMENT SERVICE ROYALTY
COLLECTION.
(a) The Secretary of the Interior shall, by fiscal year
1995, direct the Minerals Management Service, Royalty
Management Program, to develop and implement (1) an automated
business information system to provide to its auditors a
lease history that includes reference, royalty, production,
financial, compliance history, pricing and valuation, and
other information; (2) the optimum methods to identify and
resolve anomalies and to verify that royalties are paid
correctly; (3) a more efficient and cost-effective royalty
collection process by instituting new compliance and
enforcement measures, including assessments and penalties for
erroneous reporting and underreporting; (4) pilot projects
under which a State may assume mineral receipt collections on
Federal lands within the State and where the State assumes 50
percent of the cost of such pilot project; and (5) such other
actions as may be necessary to reduce royalty underpayment
and increase revenue to the U.S. Treasury by an estimated
total of $28 million by fiscal year 1999.
(b) The Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act of 1982
(Public Law No. 97-451), 30 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) is amended
by adding a new subsection 111(h) as follows:
``penalty assessment for substantial underreporting of royalty''
``Sec. 111. (h)(1) If there is any under reporting of
royalty owed on production from any lease issued or
administered by the Secretary for the production of oil, gas,
coal, any other mineral, or geothermal steam, from any
Federal or Indian lands or the Outer Continental Shelf, for
any production month, by any person who is responsible for
paying royalty, the Secretary may assess a penalty of 10
percent of the amount of that underreporting.
``(2) If there is a substantial under reporting of royalty
owed on production from any lease issued or administered by
the Secretary for the production of oil, gas, coal, any other
mineral, or geothermal steam, from any Federal or Indian
lands or the Outer Continental Shelf, for any production
month, by any person who is responsible for paying royalty,
the Secretary may assess a penalty of 20 percent of the
amount of that substantial underreporting.
``(3) For purposes of this section, the term
`underreporting' means the difference between the royalty on
the value of the production which should have been reported
and the royalty on the value of the production which was
reported, if the value of the production which should have
been reported is greater than the value of the production
which was reported. An underreporting constitutes a
`substantial underreporting' if such difference exceeds 10
percent of the royalty on the value of the production which
should have been reported.
``(4) The Secretary shall not impose the assessment
provided in paragraphs (1) or (2) if the person corrects the
underreporting before the date the person receives notice
from the Secretary that an underreporting may have occurred,
or before 90 days after the date of enactment of this
section, whichever is later.
``(5) The Secretary shall waive any portion of an
assessment provided in paragraphs (1) or (2) attributable to
that portion of the underreporting for which the person
demonstrates that--
``(i) the person had written authorization from the
Secretary to report royalty on the value of the production on
the basis on which it was reported, or
``(ii) the person had substantial authority for reporting
royalty on the value of the production on the basis on which
it was reported, or
``(iii) the person previously had notified the Secretary,
in such manner as the Secretary may by rule prescribe, of
relevant reasons or facts affecting the royalty treatment of
specific production which led to the underreporting, or
``(iv) the person meets any other exception which the
Secretary may, by rule, establish.
``(6) All penalties collected under this subsection shall
be deposited to the same accounts in the Treasury or paid to
the same recipients in the same manner as the royalty with
respect to which such penalty is paid.''.

TITLE VI--DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
SEC. 6001. MULTIFAMILY PROPERTY DISPOSITION.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) the portfolio of multifamily housing project mortgages
insured by the FHA is severely troubled and at risk of
default, requiring the Secretary to increase loss reserves
from $5,500,000,000 in 1991 to $11,900,000,000 in 1992 to
cover estimated future losses;
(2) the inventory of multifamily housing projects owned by
the Secretary has more than tripled since 1989, and, by the
end of 1993, may exceed 75,000 units;
(3) the cost to the Federal Government of owning and
maintaining multifamily housing projects escalated to
approximately $250,000,000 in fiscal year 1992;
(4) the inventory of multifamily housing projects subject
to mortgages held by the Secretary has increased
dramatically, to more than 2,400 mortgages, and approximately
half of these mortgages, with over 230,000 units, are
delinquent;
(5) the inventory of insured and formerly insured
multifamily housing projects is rapidly deteriorating,
endangering tenants and neighborhoods;
(6) over 5 million families today have a critical need for
housing that is affordable and habitable; and
(7) the current statutory framework governing the
disposition of multifamily housing projects effectively
impedes the Government's ability to dispose of properties,
protect tenants, and ensure that projects are maintained over
time.
(b) Management and Disposition of Multifamily Housing
Projects.--Section 203 of the Housing and Community
Development Amendments of 1978 (12 U.S.C. 1701z-11) is
amended to read as follows:

``(1) is consistent with the National Housing Act and this
section;
``(2) will protect the financial interests of the Federal
Government; and
``(3) will, in the least costly fashion among reasonable
available alternatives, further the goals of--
``(A) preserving housing so that it can remain available to
and affordable by low-income persons;

resides in a unit in the project on the date of disposition
may not pay as rent for the unit an amount in excess of 30

assistance for a contract term of less than 15 years, the

Emergency Low Income Housing Preservation Act of 1987,
subtitle C of the Low-Income Housing Preservation and

designated by the Governor of the State in which the project
is located of such acquisition.
``(2) Right of first refusal.--During the period beginning
upon acquisition of title to a multifamily housing project
and ending 45 days after completion of notification under

the designated State agency.
``(3) Expression of interest.--The unit of general local
government or designated State agency may submit to the
Secretary a preliminary expression of interest in a project
not later than 45 days after receiving notification from the
Secretary under paragraph (1) regarding the project. The

require the unit of general local government or designated
State agency to substantiate such interest.
``(4) Timely expression of interest.--If the unit of
general local government or designated State agency has

designated State agency may make an offer to purchase the
project.
``(5) Failure to timely express interest.--If the unit of
general local government or designated State agency does not
timely express and, if requested, substantiate interest in a
project as provided in paragraph (4), the Secretary may offer
the project for sale to any interested person or entity upon
approval of the disposition plan for the project.
``(6) Acceptance of offers.--If the unit of general local
government or designated State agency timely expresses and,
if requested, substantiates interest in a project as provided
in paragraph (4), the Secretary shall accept an offer made by
the unit of general local government or designated State
agency during the 90-day period for the project under
paragraph (4)(B) that complies with the terms and conditions
of the disposition plan for the project. The Secretary may
accept an offer that does not comply with the terms and
conditions of the disposition plan if the Secretary
determines that the offer will further the goals specified in
subsection (a) by actions that include extension of the
duration of low-income affordability restrictions or
otherwise restructuring the transaction in a manner that
enhances the long-term affordability for low-income persons.
The Secretary may reduce the initial sales price in exchange
for the extension of low-income affordability restrictions
beyond the period of assistance contemplated by the
attachment of assistance pursuant to subsection (i)(1) and in
order to facilitate affordable rents.

agency.--If the Secretary and the unit of general local

public housing agency) or designated State agency may
purchase a subsidized or formerly subsidized project in

this subsection. With respect to projects acquired before
such effective date, the Secretary may apply--
``(A) the requirements of paragraphs (2) and (3) of section
203(e) (as in effect immediately before the effective date of
this subsection); or
``(B) the requirements of paragraphs (1) through (7) of
this subsection, if--
``(i) the Secretary gives the unit of general local
government or designated State agency 45 days to express
interest in the project; and
``(ii) the unit of general local government or designated
State agency expresses interest in the project before the

interest if requested, within 90 days from the date of
notification of the terms and conditions of the disposition
plan to make an offer to purchase the project.
``(10) Transfer by local or state government agency
purchasers.--The Secretary shall permit units of general
local government and designated State agencies to transfer
multifamily housing projects acquired under the right of
first refusal under this subsection to a private entity, but
only if the local government or State agency clearly
identifies its intention to transfer the project in the offer
to purchase the property accepted by the Secretary under this
subsection.
``(l) Displacement of Tenants and Relocation Assistance.--
``(1) In general.--Whenever tenants will be displaced as a
result of the disposition of, or repairs to, a multifamily
housing project that is owned by the Secretary (or for which
the Secretary is mortgagee in possession), the Secretary
shall identify tenants who will be displaced and shall notify
all such tenants of their pending displacement and of any
relocation assistance that may be available. In the case of
the disposition of tenants of a multifamily housing project
that is not owned by the Secretary (and for which the
Secretary is not mortgagee in possession), the Secretary
shall require the owner of the project to carry out the
requirements of this paragraph.

ensure for any such tenant (who continues to meet applicable
qualification standards) the right--

Housing Act of 1937; or
``(D) to receive any other available relocation assistance
as the Secretary determines to be appropriate.
``(m) Mortgage and Project Sales.--
``(1) In general.--The Secretary may not approve the sale
of any loan or mortgage held by the Secretary (including any
loan or mortgage owned by the Government National Mortgage
Association) on any subsidized project or formerly subsidized
project, unless such sale is made as part of a transaction
that will ensure that such project will continue to operate
at least until the maturity date of such loan or mortgage, in
a manner that will provide rental housing on terms at least
as advantageous to existing and future tenants as the terms
required by the program under which the loan or mortgage was
made or insured prior to the assignment of the loan or
mortgage on such project to the Secretary.
``(2) Sale of certain projects.--The Secretary may not
approve the sale of any subsidized project--
``(A) that is subject to a mortgage held by the Secretary,
or
``(B) if the sale transaction involves the provision of any
additional subsidy funds by the Secretary or a recasting of
the mortgage,
unless such sale is made as part of a transaction that will
ensure that the project will continue to operate, at least
until the maturity date of the loan or mortgage, in a manner
that will provide rental housing on terms at least as
advantageous to existing and future tenants as the terms
required by the program under which the loan or mortgage was
made or insured prior to the proposed sale of the project.
``(3) Mortgage sales to state and local governments.--
Notwithstanding any provision of law that requires
competitive sales or bidding, the Secretary may carry out
negotiated sales of subsidized or formerly subsidized
mortgages held by the Secretary, without the competitive
selection of purchasers or intermediaries, to units of
general local government or State agencies, or groups of
investors that include at least one such unit of general
local government or State agency, if the negotiations are
conducted with such agencies, except that--
``(A) the terms of any such sale shall include the
agreement of the purchasing agency or unit of local
government or State agency to act as mortgagee or owner of a
beneficial interest in such mortgages, in a manner consistent
with maintaining the projects that are subject to such
mortgages for occupancy by the general tenant group intended
to be served by the applicable mortgage insurance program,
including, to the extent the Secretary determines
appropriate, authorizing such unit of local government or
State agency to enforce the provisions of any regulatory
agreement or other program requirements applicable to the
related projects; and
``(B) the sales prices for such mortgages shall be, in the
determination of the Secretary, the best prices that may be
obtained for such mortgages from a unit of general local
government or State agency, consistent with the expectation
and intention that the projects financed will be retained for
use under the applicable mortgage insurance program for the
life of the initial mortgage insurance contract.
``(4) Sale of mortgages covering unsubsidized projects.--
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary may
sell mortgages held on unsubsidized projects on such terms
and conditions as the Secretary may prescribe.

royalty owed on production from any lease issued or
administered by the Secretary for the production of oil, gas,
coal, any other mineral, or geothermal steam, from any
Federal or Indian lands or the Outer Continental Shelf, for
any production month, by any person who is responsible for
paying royalty, the Secretary may assess a penalty of 10
percent of the amount of that underreporting.

owed on production from any lease issued or administered by
the Secretary for the production of oil, gas, coal, any other

the value of the production which should have been reported
and the royalty on the value of the production which was
reported, if the value of the production which should have
been reported is greater than the value of the production
which was reported. An underreporting constitutes a
`substantial underreporting' if such difference exceeds 10
percent of the royalty on the value of the production which
should have been reported.
[[Page 1910]]
``(4) The Secretary shall not impose the assessment
provided in paragraphs (1) or (2) if the person corrects the
underreporting before the date the person receives notice

assessment provided in paragraphs (1) or (2) attributable to

Secretary to report royalty on the value of the production on
the basis on which it was reported, or

royalty on the value of the production on the basis on which
it was reported, or

in such manner as the Secretary may by rule prescribe, of
relevant reasons or facts affecting the royalty treatment of
specific production which led to the underreporting, or
``(iv) the person meets any other exception which the
Secretary may, by rule, establish.

be deposited to the same accounts in the Treasury or paid to
the same recipients in the same manner as the royalty with
respect to which such penalty is paid.''.

SEC. 33. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS RELATING TO PARTICIPATION OF
DISABLED AMERICANS IN CONTRACTING FOR DELIVERY
OF SERVICES TO FINANCIAL INSTITUTION REGULATORY
AGENCIES.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that Congress, in
adopting the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990,
specifically found that--
(1) some 43,000,000 Americans have one or more physical or
mental disabilities, and this number is increasing;
(2) discrimination against individuals with disabilities
persists in such critical areas as employment, housing,
public accommodations, education, transportation,
communication, recreation, institutionalization, health
services, voting, and access to public services;
(3) individuals with disabilities continually encounter
various forms of discrimination, including outright
intentional exclusion, the discriminatory effects of
architectural, transportation, and communication barriers,
overprotective rules and policies, failure to make
modifications to existing facilities and practices,
exclusionary qualification standards and criteria,
segregation, and relegation to lesser services, programs,
activities, benefits, jobs, or other opportunities;
(4) census data, national polls, and other studies have
documented that people with disabilities, as a group, occupy
an inferior status in our society, and are severely
disadvantaged socially, vocationally, economically, and
educationally;
(5) individuals with disabilities are a discrete and
insular minority who have been faced with restrictions and
limitations, subjected to a history of purposeful unequal
treatment, and relegated to a position of political
powerlessness in our society, based on characteristics that
are beyond the control of such individuals and resulting from
stereotypic assumptions not truly indicative of the
individual ability of such individuals to participate in, and
contribute to, society;
(6) the Nation's proper goals regarding individuals with
disabilities are to assure equality of opportunity, full
participation, independent living, and economic self-
sufficiency for such individuals; and
(7) the continuing existence of unfair and unnecessary
discrimination and prejudice denies people with disabilities
the opportunity to compete on an equal basis and to pursue
those opportunities for which our free society is justifiably
famous, and costs the United States billions of dollars in
unnecessary expenses resulting from dependency and
nonproductivity.
(b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that the chief executive officer of the Resolution Trust
Corporation, the Director of the Office of Thrift
Supervision, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Comptroller of the
Currency, and the Chairperson of the Federal Housing Finance
Board should take all necessary steps within each such agency
to ensure that individuals with disabilities and entities
owned by individuals with disabilities, including financial
institutions, investment banking firms, underwriters, asset
managers, accountants, and providers of legal services, are
availed of all opportunities to compete in a manner which, at
a minimum, does not discriminate on the basis of their
disability for contracts entered into by the agency to manage
the institutions and their assets for which the agency is
responsible or to perform such other functions authorized
under any law applicable to such agency.

SEC. 704. NOAA FACILITIES IN KODIAK.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the
Secretary of Commerce may enter into an agreement with the
University of Alaska under which the University may contract
for the engineering and design specifications of a facility
on Near Island in Kodiak, Alaska, that meets the long-term
space needs of National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration personnel currently located in Alaska.
(b) The Secretary may transfer available funds to the
University of Alaska to pay for such engineering and design
work if additional funds in an equal or greater amount are
made available from non-federal sources for such work.
TITLE VIII--ATLANTIC COASTAL FISHERIES
SEC. 801. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ``Atlantic Coastal Fisheries
Cooperative Management Act''.
SEC. 802. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
(1) Coastal fishery resources that migrate, or are widely
distributed, across the jurisdictional boundaries of two or
more of the Atlantic States and of the Federal Government are
of substantial commercial and recreational importance and
economic benefit to the Atlantic coastal region and the
Nation.
(2) Increased fishing pressure, environmental pollution,
and the loss and alteration of habitat have reduced severely
certain Atlantic coastal fishery resources.
(3) Because no single governmental entity has exclusive
management authority for Atlantic coastal fishery resources,
harvesting of such resources is frequently subject to
disparate, inconsistent, and intermittent State and Federal
regulation that has been detrimental to the conservation and
sustainable use of such resources and to the interests of
fishermen and the Nation as a whole.
(4) The responsibility for managing Atlantic coastal
fisheries rests with the States, which carry out a
cooperative program of fishery oversight and management
through the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission. It
is the responsibility of the Federal Government to support
such cooperative interstate management of coastal fishery
resources.
(5) The failure by one or more Atlantic States to fully
implement a coastal fishery management plan can affect the
status of Atlantic coastal fisheries, and can discour-
[[Page 1951]]
age other States from fully implementing coastal fishery
management plans.
(6) It is in the national interest to provide for more
effective Atlantic State fishery resource conservation and
management.
(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this title is to support and
encourage the development, implementation, and enforcement of
effective interstate conservation and management of Atlantic
coastal fishery resources.
SEC. 803. DEFINITIONS.

FISHERY MANAGEMENT.
(A) Federal Support for State Coastal Fisheries Programs.--
The Secretary in cooperation with the Secretary of the
Interior shall develop and implement a program to support the
interstate fishery management efforts of the Commission. The
program shall include activities to support and enhance State
cooperation in collection, management, and analysis of
fishery data; law enforcement; habitat conservation; fishery
research, including biological and socioeconomic research;
and fishery management planning.
(b) Federal Regulation in Exclusive Economic Zone.--(1) In
the absence of an approved and implemented fishery management
plan under the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), and after consultation with the
appropriate Councils, the Secretary may implement regulations
to govern fishing in the exclusive economic zone that are--
(A) necessary to support the effective implementation of a
coastal fishery management plan; and
(B) consistent with the national standards set forth in
section 301 of the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1851).
The regulations may include measures recommended by the
Commission to the Secretary that are necessary to support the
provisions of the coastal fishery management plan.
Regulations issued by the Secretary to implement an approved
fishery management plan prepared by the appropriate Councils
or the Secretary under the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) shall supersede any
conflicting regulations issued by the Secretary under this
subsection.
(2) The provisions of sections 307, 308, 309, 310, and 311
of the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1857, 1858, 1859, 1860, and 1861) regarding prohibited
acts, civil penalties, criminal offenses, civil forfeitures,
and enforcement shall apply with respect to regulations
issued under this subsection as if such regulations were
issued under the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.).
SEC. 805. STATE IMPLEMENTATION OF COASTAL FISHERY MANAGEMENT
PLANS.
(a) Coastal Fishery Management Plans.--(1) The Commission
shall prepare and adopt coastal fishery management plans to
provide for the conservation of coastal fishery resources. In
preparing a coastal fishery management plan for a fishery
that is located in both State waters and the exclusive
economic zone, the Commission shall consult with appropriate
Councils to determine areas where such coastal fishery
management plan may complement Council fishery management
plans. The coastal fishery management plan shall specify the
requirements necessary for States to be in compliance with
the plan. Upon adoption of a coastal fishery management plan,
the Commission shall identify each State that is required to
implement and enforce that plan.
(2) Within 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act,
the Commission shall establish standards and procedures to
govern the preparation of coastal fishery management plans
under this title, including standards and procedures to
ensure that--
(A) such plans promote the conservation of fish stocks
throughout their ranges and are based on the best scientific
information available; and
(B) the Commission provides adequate opportunity for public
participation in the plan preparation process, including at
least four public hearings and procedures for the submission
of written comments to the Commission.
(b) State Implementation and Enforcement.--(1) Each State
identified under subsection (a) with respect to a coastal
fishery management plan shall implement and enforce the
measures of such plan within the time frame established in
the plan.
(2) Within 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act,
the Commission shall establish a schedule of time frames
within which States shall implement and enforce the measures
of coastal fishery management plans in existence before such
date of enactment. No such time frame shall exceed 12 months
after the date on which the schedule is adopted.
(c) Commission Monitoring of State Implementation and
Enforcement.--The Commission shall, at least annually, review
each State's implementation and enforcement of coastal
fishery management plans for the purpose of determining
whether such State is effectively implementing and enforcing
each such plan. Upon completion of such reviews, the
Commission shall report the results of the reviews to the
Secretaries.
SEC. 806. STATE NONCOMPLIANCE WITH COASTAL FISHERY MANAGEMENT
PLANS.
(a) Noncompliance Determination.--The Commission shall
determine that a State is not in compliance with the
provisions of a coastal fishery management plan if it finds
that the State has not implemented and enforced such plan
within the time frames established under the plan or under
section 805.
(b) Notification.--Upon making any determination under
subsection (a), the Commission shall within 10 working days
notify the Secretaries of such determination. Such
notification shall include the reasons for making the
determination and an explicit list of actions that the
affected State must take to comply with the coastal fishery
management plan. The Commission shall provide a copy of the
notification to the affected State.
(c) Withdrawal of Noncompliance Determination.--After
making a determination under subsection (a), the Commission
shall continue to monitor State implementation and
enforcement. Upon finding that a State has complied with the
actions required under subsection (b), the Commission shall
immediately withdraw its determination of noncompliance. The
Commission shall promptly notify the Secretaries of such
withdrawal.
SEC. 807. SECRETARIAL ACTION.
(a) Secretarial Review of Commission Determination of
Noncompliance.--Within 30 days after receiving a notification
from the Commission under section 806(b) and after review of
the Commission's determination of noncompliance, the
Secretary shall make a finding on--
(1) whether the State in question has failed to carry out
its responsibility under section 805; and
[[Page 1952]]
(2) if so, whether the measures that the State has failed
to implement and enforce are necessary for the conservation
of the fishery in question.
(b) Consideration of Comments.--In making a finding under
subsection (a), the Secretary shall--
(A) give careful consideration to the comments of the State
that the Commission has determined under section 806(a) is
not in compliance with a coastal fishery management plan, and
provide such State, upon request, with the opportunity to
meet with and present its comments directly to the Secretary;
and
(B) solicit and consider the comments of the Commission and
the appropriate Councils.
(c) Moratorium.--(1) Upon making a finding under subsection
(a) that a State has failed to carry out its responsibility
under section 805 and that the measures it failed to
implement and enforce are necessary for conservation, the
Secretary shall declare a moratorium on fishing in the
fishery in question within the waters of the noncomplying
State. The Secretary shall specify the moratorium's effective
date, which shall be any date within 6 months after
declaration of the moratorium.
(2) If after a moratorium is declared under paragraph (1)
the Secretary is notified by the Commission that the
Commission is withdrawing under section 806(c) the
determination of noncompliance, the Secretary shall
immediately determine whether the State is in compliance with
the applicable plan. If so, the moratorium shall be
terminated.
(d) Implementing Regulations.--The Secretary may issue
regulations necessary to implement this section. Such
regulations--
(1) may provide for the possession and use of fish which
have been produced in an aquaculture operation, subject to
applicable State regulations; and
(2) shall allow for retention of fish that are subject to a
moratorium declared under this section and unavoidably taken
as incidental catch in fisheries directed toward menhaden
if--
(A) discarding the retained fish is impracticable;
(B) the retained fish do not constitute a significant
portion of the catch of the vessel; and
(C) retention of the fish will not, in the judgment of the
Secretary, adversely affect the conservation of the species
of fish retained.
(e) Prohibited Acts During Moratorium.--During the time in
which a moratorium under this section is in effect, it is
unlawful for any person to--
(1) violate the terms of the moratorium or of any
implementing regulation issued under subsection (d);

be liable to the United States for a civil penalty as
provided by section 308 of the Magnuson Fishery Conservation
and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1858).
(2) Any person who commits an act prohibited by paragraph
(5), (6), (7), or (9) of subsection (e) is guilty of an
offense punishable as provided by section 309(a)(1) and (b)

U.S.C. 1859(a)(1) and (b)).
(g) Civil Forfeitures.--(1) Any vessel (including its gear,
equipment, appurtenances, stores, and cargo) used, and any
fish (or the fair market value thereof) taken or retained, in
any manner, in connection with, or as the result of, the
commission of any act that is unlawful under subsection (e),
shall be subject to forfeiture to the United States as
provided in section 310 of the Magnuson Fishery Conservation
and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1860).
(2) Any fish seized pursuant to this title may be disposed
of pursuant to the order of a court of competent jurisdiction
or, if perishable, in a manner prescribed in regulation.
(h) Enforcement.--A person authorized by the Secretary or
the Secretary of the department in which the Coast Guard is
operating may take any action to enforce a moratorium
declared under subsection (c) of this section that an officer
authorized by the Secretary under section 311(b) of the
Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C.
1861(b)) may take to enforce that Act. The Secretary may, by
agreement, on a reimbursable basis or otherwise, utilize the
personnel, services, equipment (including aircraft and
vessels), and facilities of any other Federal department or

As used in this Act (including the amendments made by this
Act), the terms ``independent states of the former Soviet
Union'' and ``independent states'' have the meaning given
those terms by section 3 of the Freedom for Russia and
Emerging Eurasian Democracies and Open Markets Support Act of
1992 (22 U.S.C. 5801).
TITLE I--POLICY OF FRIENDSHIP AND COOPERATION
SEC. 101. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.
The purpose of this Act is to amend or repeal numerous
statutory provisions that restrict or otherwise impede normal
relations between the United States and the Russian
Federation, Ukraine, and the other independent states of the
former Soviet Union. All of the statutory provisions amended
or repealed by this Act were relevant and appropriate at the
time of enactment, but with the end of the Cold War, they
have become obsolete. It is not the purpose of this Act to
rewrite or erase history, or to forget those who suffered in
the past from the injustices or repression of communist
regimes in the Soviet Union, but rather to update United
States law to reflect changed international circumstances and
to demonstrate for reformers and democrats in the independent
states of the former Soviet Union the resolve of the people
of the United States to support the process of democratic and
economic reform and to conduct business with those states in
a new spirit of friendship and cooperation.
SEC. 102. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds and declares as follows:
(1) The Vancouver Declaration issued by President Clinton
and President Yeltsin in April 1993 marked a new milestone in
the development of the spirit of cooperation and partnership
between the United States and Russia. The Congress affirms
its support for the principles contained in the Vancouver
Declaration.
(2) The Vancouver Declaration underscored that--
(A) a dynamic and effective partnership between the United
States and Russia is vital to the success of Russia's
historic transformation;
(B) the rapid integration of Russia into the community of
democratic nations and the world economy is important to the
national interest of the United States; and
(C) cooperation between the United States and Russia is
essential to the peaceful resolution of international
conflicts and the promotion of democratic values, the
protection of human rights, and the solution of global
problems such as environmental pollution, terrorism, and
narcotics trafficking.
(3) The Congress enacted the FREEDOM Support Act (Public
Law 102-511), as well as other legislation such as the Soviet
Nuclear Threat Reduction Act of 1991 (title II of Public Law
102-228) and the Former Soviet Union Demilitarization Act of
1992 (title XIV of Public Law 102-484), to help meet the
historic opportunities and challenges presented by the
transformation that has taken place, and is continuing to
take place, in what once was the Soviet Union.
(4) The process of reform in Russia, Ukraine, and the other
independent states of the former Soviet Union is ongoing. The
holding of a referendum in Russia on April 25, 1993, that was
free and fair, and that reflected the support of the Russian
people for the process of continued and strengthened
democratic and economic reform, represents an important and
encouraging hallmark in this ongoing process.
(5) There remain in force many United States laws that are
relics of the Cold War, and repeals or revisions of these
provisions can play an important role in efforts to foster
and strengthen the bonds of trust and friendship, as well as
mutually beneficial trade and economic relations, between the
United States and Russia, the United States and Ukraine, and
the United States and the other independent states of the
former Soviet Union.
SEC. 103. STATUTORY PROVISIONS THAT HAVE BEEN APPLICABLE TO
THE SOVIET UNION.
(a) In General.--There are numerous statutory provisions
that were enacted in the context of United States relations
with a country, the Soviet Union, that are fundamentally
different from the relations that now exist between the
United States and Russia, between the United States and
Ukraine, and between the United States and the other
independent states of the former Soviet Union.
(b) Extent of Such Provisions.--Many of the provisions
referred to in subsection (a) imposed limitations
specifically with respect to the Soviet Union, and its
constituent republics, or utilized language that reflected
the tension that existed between the United States and the
Soviet Union at the time of their enactment. Other such
provisions did not refer specifically to the Soviet Union,
but nonetheless were directed (or may be construed as having
been directed) against the Soviet Union on the basis of the
relations that formerly existed between the United States and
the Soviet Union, particularly in its role as the leading
communist country.
(c) Findings and Affirmation.--The Congress finds and
affirms that provisions such as those described in this
section, including--
(1) section 216 of the State Department Basic Authorities
Act of 1956 (22 U.S.C. 4316),
(2) sections 136 and 804 of the Foreign Relations
Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1986 and 1987 (Public Law 99-
93),
(3) section 1222 of the Foreign Relations Authorization
Act, Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989 (Public Law 100-204; 101
Stat. 1411),
(4) the Multilateral Export Control Enhancement Amendments
Act (50 U.S.C. 2410 note, et seq.),
(5) the joint resolution providing for the designation of
``Captive Nations Week'' (Public Law 86-90),
(6) the Communist Control Act of 1954 (Public Law 83-637),
(7) provisions in the Immigration and Nationality Act (8
U.S.C. 1101 et seq.), including sections 101(a)(40),
101(e)(3), and 313(a)(3),
(8) section 2 of the joint resolution entitled ``A joint
resolution to promote peace and stability in the Middle
East'', approved March 9, 1957 (Public Law 85-7), and
(9) section 43 of the Bretton Woods Agreements Act (22
U.S.C. 286aa),
should not be construed as being directed against Russia,
Ukraine, or the other independent states of the former Soviet
Union, connoting an adversarial relationship between the
United States and the independent states, or signifying or
implying in any manner unfriendliness toward the independent
states.
TITLE II--TRADE AND BUSINESS RELATIONS
SEC. 201. POLICY UNDER EXPORT ADMINISTRATION ACT.
(a) Conforming Amendments.--Section 2 of the Export
Administration Act of 1979 (50 U.S.C. App. 2401) is amended--
(1) by striking paragraph (11); and
[[Page 1954]]
(2) by redesignating paragraphs (12) and (13) as paragraphs
(11) and (12), respectively.

(1) since 1917, the rulers of empires and international
communism led by Vladimir I. Lenin and Mao Tse-tung have been
responsible for the deaths of over 100,000,000 victims in an
unprecedented imperial communist holocaust through conquests,
revolutions, civil wars, purges, wars by proxy, and other
violent means;
(2) the imperialist regimes of international communism have
brutally suppressed the human rights, national independence,
religious liberty, intellectual freedom, and cultural life of
the peoples of over 40 captive nations;
(3) there is a danger that the heroic sacrifices of the
victims of communism may be forgotten as international
communism and its imperial bases continue to collapse and
crumble; and
(4) the sacrifices of these victims should be permanently
memorialized so that never again will nations and peoples
allow so evil a tyranny to terrorize the world.
(b) Authorization of Memorial.--
(1) Authorization.--
(A) The National Captive Nations Committee, Inc., is
authorized to construct, maintain, and operate in the
District of Columbia an appropriate international memorial to
honor victims of communism.
(B) The National Captive Nations Committee, Inc., is
encouraged to create an independent entity for the purposes
of constructing, maintaining, and operating the memorial.
(C) Once created, this entity is encouraged and authorized,
to the maximum extent practicable, to include as active
participants organizations representing all groups that have
suffered under communism.
(2) Compliance with standards for commemorative works.--The
design, location, inscription, and construction of the
memorial authorized by paragraph (1) shall be subject to the
requirements of the Act entitled ``An Act to provide
standards for placement of commemorative works on certain
Federal lands in the District of Columbia and its environs,
and for other purposes'', approved November 14, 1986 (40
U.S.C. 1001 et seq.).
(c) Payment of Expenses.--The entity referred to in
subsection (b)(1) shall be solely responsible for acceptance
of contributions for, and payment of the expenses of, the
establishment of the memorial. No Federal funds may be used
to pay any expense of the establishment of the memorial.
(d) Deposit of Excess Funds.--If, upon payment of all
expenses of the establishment of the memorial, including the
maintenance and preservation amount provided for in section
8(b) of the Act entitled ``An Act to provide standards for
placement of commemorative works on certain Federal lands in
the District of Columbia and its environs, and for other
purposes'', approved November 14, 1986 (40 U.S.C. 1008(b)),

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. 44):
Whereas United Nations Resolution 45/164 of December 18,
1990, proclaimed the year 1993 as the International Year of
the World's Indigenous Peoples, in order to strengthen
international cooperation for a solution to the problems
faced by indigenous communities in areas such as human
rights, the environment, development, education, and health;
Whereas indigenous peoples are descendants of the original
inhabitants of many countries with diverse cultures,
religions, languages, and social and economic customs;
Whereas an estimated 300 million indigenous peoples live in
more than 70 countries, including the United States;
Whereas indigenous peoples are often disadvantaged and face
common difficulties in their homelands, including issues such
as self-determination, the preservation of land and natural
resources, the preservation of culture, arts, and language,
and dismal social and economic conditions;
Whereas many indigenous peoples continue to face
discrimination and exploitation in their homelands;
Whereas the rights and social and economic conditions of
indigenous peoples have often been overlooked by individual
nations and the international community; and
Whereas the United Nations Working Group on Indigenous
Populations has drafted a Declaration on the Rights of
Indigenous Peoples: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) the United States should cooperate with the United
Nations in its efforts to raise the level of public interest
in and consciousness of the problems of indigenous peoples;
(2) the United States should address the rights and improve
the social and economic conditions of its own indigenous
peoples, including Native American Indians, Alaska Natives,
Native Hawaiians, Chamorros, American Samoans, and Palauans;
(3) the United States should support the United Nations in
its efforts to establish international standards on the
rights of indigenous peoples; and
(4) the United States recognizes that the year 1993 is an
insufficient time period for promoting public awareness of
the plight of indigenous peoples and urges the United Nations
to proclaim an International Decade of the World's Indigenous
Peoples.

Commission on request such records of government securities
transactions, including records of the date and time of
execution of trades, as the Commission may require to
reconstruct trading in the course of a particular inquiry or
investigation being conducted by the Commission for

furnished, and whether the information is to be furnished
directly to the Commission, to the Federal Reserve Bank of

regulatory organization with responsibility for examining the
government securities broker or government securities dealer.
The Commission may require that such information be furnished
in machine readable form notwithstanding any limitation in

government securities brokers and dealers.
``(B) Limitation; construction.--The Commission shall not
utilize its authority under this paragraph to develop regular
reporting requirements, except that the Commission may
require information to be furnished under this paragraph as
frequently as necessary for particular inquiries or
investigations for enforcement or surveillance purposes. This
paragraph shall not be construed as requiring, or as
authorizing the Commission to require, any government
securities broker or government securities dealer to obtain
or maintain any information for purposes of this paragraph
which is not otherwise maintained by such broker or dealer in
accordance with any other provision of law or usual and
customary business practice. The Commission shall, where
feasible, avoid requiring any information to be furnished

the Commission requests any information pursuant to
subparagraph (A) with respect to any government securities
broker or government securities dealer for which the
Commission is not the appropriate regulatory agency, the
Commission shall notify the appropriate regulatory agency for
such government securities broker or government securities
dealer and, upon request, furnish to the appropriate
regulatory agency any information supplied to the Commission.
``(D) Consultation.--Within 90 days after the date of
enactment of this paragraph, and annually thereafter, or upon
the request of any other appropriate regulatory agency, the
Commission shall consult with the other appropriate
regulatory agencies to determine the availability of records
that may be required to be furnished under this paragraph
and, for those records available directly from the other
appropriate regulatory agencies, to develop a procedure for
furnishing such records expeditiously upon the Commission's
request.
``(E) Exclusion for examination reports.--Nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed so as to permit the Commission
to require any government securities broker or government
securities dealer to obtain, maintain, or furnish any
examination report of any appropriate regulatory agency other
than the Commission or any supervisory recommendations or
analysis contained in any such examination report.
``(F) Authority to limit disclosure of information.--
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Commission
and the appropriate regulatory agencies shall not be
compelled to disclose any information required or obtained
under this paragraph. Nothing in this paragraph shall
authorize the Commission or any appropriate regulatory agency
to withhold information from Congress, or prevent the
Commission or any appropriate regulatory agency from
complying with a request for information from any other
Federal department or agency requesting information for
purposes within the scope of its jurisdiction, or from
complying with an order of a court of the United States in an
action brought by the United States, the Commission, or the

``(b) Selection of Arbitration Panel.--Not later than 10
days after publication of a notice in the Federal Register
initiating an arbitration proceeding under section 803, and
in accordance with procedures specified by the Register of
Copyrights, the Librarian of Congress shall, upon the
recommendation of the Register of Copyrights, select 2
arbitrators from lists provided by professional arbitration
associations. Qualifications of the arbitrators shall include
experience in conducting arbitration proceedings and
facilitating the resolution and settlement of disputes, and
any qualifications which the Librarian of Congress, upon
recommendation of the Register of Copyrights, shall adopt by
regulation. The 2 arbitrators so selected shall, within 10

the same
[[Page 1965]]
lists, who shall serve as the chairperson of the arbitrators.
If such 2 arbitrators fail to agree upon the selection of a
third arbitrator, the Librarian of Congress shall promptly
select the third arbitrator. The Librarian of Congress, upon
recommendation of the Register of Copyrights, shall adopt
regulations regarding standards of conduct which shall govern
arbitrators and the proceedings under this chapter.
``(c) Arbitration Proceedings.--Copyright arbitration
royalty panels shall conduct arbitration proceedings, subject
to subchapter II of chapter 5 of title 5, United States Code,
for the purpose of making their determinations in carrying
out the purposes set forth in section 801. The arbitration
panels shall act on the basis of a fully documented written
record, prior decisions of the Copyright Royalty Tribunal,
prior copyright arbitration panel determinations, and rulings
by the Librarian of Congress under section 801(c). Any
copyright owner who claims to be entitled to royalties under
section 111, 116, or 119, or any interested copyright party
who claims to be entitled to royalties under section 1006,
may submit relevant information and proposals to the
arbitration panels in proceedings applicable to such
copyright owner or interested copyright party, and any other
person participating in arbitration proceedings may submit
such relevant information and proposals to the arbitration
panel conducting the proceedings. In rate-making proceedings,
the parties to the proceedings shall bear the entire cost
thereof in such manner and proportion as the arbitration
panels shall direct. In distribution proceedings, the parties
shall bear the cost in direct proportion to their share of
the distribution.
``(d) Procedures.--Effective on the date of the enactment
of the Copyright Royalty Tribunal Reform Act of 1993, the
Librarian of Congress shall adopt the rules and regulations
set forth in chapter 3 of title 37 of the Code of Federal
Regulations to govern proceedings under this chapter. Such
rules and regulations shall remain in effect unless and until
the Librarian, upon recommendation of the Register of
Copyrights, adopts supplemental or superseding regulations
under subchapter II of chapter 5 of title 5, United States
Code.
``(e) Report to the Librarian of Congress.--Not later than
180 days after publication of the notice in the Federal
Register initiating an arbitration proceeding, the copyright
arbitration royalty panel conducting the proceeding shall
report to the Librarian of Congress its determination
concerning the royalty fee or distribution of royalty fees,
as the case may be. Such report shall be accompanied by the
written record, and shall set forth the facts that the
arbitration panel found relevant to its determination.
``(f) Action by Librarian of Congress.--Within 60 days
after receiving the report of a copyright arbitration royalty
panel under subsection (e), the Librarian of Congress, upon
the recommendation of the Register of Copyrights, shall adopt
or reject the determination of the arbitration panel. The
Librarian shall adopt the determination of the arbitration
panel unless the Librarian finds that the determination is
arbitrary or contrary to the applicable provisions of this
title. If the Librarian rejects the determination of the
arbitration panel, the Librarian shall, before the end of
that 60-day period, and after full examination of the record
created in the arbitration proceeding, issue an order setting
the royalty fee or distribution of fees, as the case may be.
The Librarian shall cause to be published in the Federal
Register the determination of the arbitration panel, and the
decision of the Librarian (including an order issued under
the preceding sentence). The Librarian shall also publicize
such determination and decision in such other manner as the
Librarian considers appropriate. The Librarian shall also
make the report of the arbitration panel and the accompanying
record available for public inspection and copying.
``(g) Judicial Review.--Any decision of the Librarian of
Congress under subsection (f) with respect to a determination
of an arbitration panel may be appealed, by any aggrieved
party who would be bound by the determination, to the United
States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit,
within 30 days after the publication of the decision in the
Federal Register. If no appeal is brought within such 30-day
period, the decision of the Librarian is final, and the
royalty fee or determination with respect to the distribution
of fees, as the case may be, shall take effect as set forth
in the decision. The pendency of an appeal under this
paragraph shall not relieve persons obligated to make royalty
payments under sections 111, 115, 116, 118, 119, or 1003 who
would be affected by the determination on appeal to deposit
the statement of account and royalty fees specified in those
sections. The court shall have jurisdiction to modify or
vacate a decision of the Librarian only if it finds, on the
basis of the record before the Librarian, that the Librarian
acted in an arbitrary manner. If the court modifies the
decision of the Librarian, the court shall have jurisdiction
to enter its own determination with respect to the amount or
distribution of royalty fees and costs, to order the
repayment of any excess fees, and to order the payment of any
underpaid fees, and the interest pertaining respectively
thereto, in accordance with its final judgment. The court may
further vacate the decision of the arbitration panel and
remand the case to the Librarian for arbitration proceedings
in accordance with subsection (c).
``(h) Administrative Matters.--
``(1) Deduction of costs from royalty fees.--The Librarian
of Congress and the Register of Copyrights may, to the extent
not otherwise provided under this title, deduct from royalty
fees deposited or collected under this title the reasonable
costs incurred by the Library of Congress and the Copyright
Office under this chapter. Such deduction may be made before
the fees are distributed to any copyright claimants. If no
royalty pool exists from which their costs can be deducted,
the Librarian of Congress and the Copyright Office may assess
their reasonable costs directly to the parties to the most
recent relevant arbitration proceeding.
``(2) Positions required for administration of compulsory
licensing.--Section 307 of the Legislative Branch
Appropriations Act, 1994, shall not apply to employee
positions in the Library of Congress that are required to be
filled in order to carry out section 111, 115, 116, 118, or
119 or chapter 10.''.

title, are repealed.

Royalty Tribunal Reform Act of 1993, or established by a
copyright arbitration royalty panel after such date of
enactment, may file a petition with the Librarian of Congress
declaring that the petitioner requests an adjustment of the
rate. The Librarian of Congress shall, upon the
recommendation of the Register of Copyrights, make a
determination as to whether the petitioner has such a
significant interest in the royalty rate in which an
adjustment is requested. If the Librarian determines that the
petitioner has such a significant interest, the Librarian
shall cause notice of this determination, with the reasons
therefor, to be published in the Federal Register, together
with the notice of commencement of proceedings under this
chapter.

the adjustment of royalty rates as provided in section 116, a
petition described in paragraph (1) may be filed at any time
within 1 year after negotiated licenses authorized by section
116 are terminated or expire and are not replaced by
subsequent agreements.
``(B) If a negotiated license authorized by section 116 is
terminated or expires and is not replaced by another such
license agreement which provides permission to use a quantity
of musical works not substantially smaller than the quantity
of such works performed on coin-operated phono-record players
during the 1-year period ending March 1, 1989, the Librarian
of Congress shall, upon petition filed under paragraph (1)
within 1 year after such termination or expiration, convene a
copyright arbitration royalty panel. The arbitration panel
shall promptly establish an interim royalty rate or rates for
the public performance by means of a coin-operated
phonorecord player of non-dramatic musical works embodied in
phonorecords which had been subject to the terminated or
expired negotiated license agreement. Such rate or rates
shall be the same as the last such rate or rates and shall
remain in force until the conclusion of proceedings by the
arbitration panel, in accordance with section 802, to adjust
the royalty rates applicable to such works, or until
superseded by a new negotiated license agreement, as provided
in section 116(b).''.

RULES OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
----------------------
ONE HUNDRED THIRD CONGRESS
Rule I
duties of the speaker
1. The Speaker shall take the Chair on 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

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 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

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.

service performed as a member of such committee for less than a full
session in any Congress).
(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.
(d) Each standing committee of the House of Representatives, except
the Committee on the Budget, that has more than twenty members shall
establish at least four subcommittees.
(e) All vacancies in standing committees shall be filled by election
by the House from nominations, submitted by the respective party caucus
or conference.
(f) The Speaker shall appoint all select and conference committees
which shall be ordered by the House from time to time. At any time after
an original appointment, the Speaker may remove Members or appoint
additional Members to select and conference committees. In appointing
members to conference committees the Speaker shall appoint no less than
a majority of members who generally supported the House position as
determined by the Speaker. The Speaker shall name Members who are
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.

committee action which shall include a record of the votes on any
question on which a roll call vote is demanded. The result of each such
roll call vote shall be made available by the committee for inspection
by the public at reasonable times in the offices of the committee.
Information so available for public inspection shall include a
description of the amendment, motion, order, or other proposition and
the name of each Member voting for and each Member voting against such
amendment, motion, order, or proposition, and whether by proxy or in
person, and the names of those Members present but not voting.
(2) All committee hearings, records, data, charts, and files shall be
kept separate and distinct from the congressional office records of the
Member serving as chairman of the committee; and such records shall be
the property of the House and all Members of the House shall have access
thereto, except that in the case of records in the Committee on

officer, or employee of the House, no Member of the House (other than a
member of such committee) shall have access thereto without the
specific, prior approval of the committee.

proxy only for motions to recess, adjourn or other procedural matters.
Each proxy to be effective shall be signed by the member assigning his
or her vote and shall contain the date and time of day that the proxy is
signed. Proxies may not be counted for a quorum.
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
at any business or markup session which has been closed to the public.
This paragraph does not apply to open committee hearings which are
provided for by clause 4(a)(1) of rule X or by subparagraph (2) of this
paragraph, or to any meeting that relates solely to internal budget or
personnel matters.
(2) Each hearing conducted by each 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 that hearing on that day shall
be closed to the public because disclosure of testimony, evidence, or
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,
(A) may vote to close the hearing for the sole purpose of discussing
whether testimony or evidence to be received would endanger the national
security or violate clause 2(k)(5) of rule XI; or

rule XI.
No Member may be excluded from nonparticipatory attendance at any
hearing of any committee or subcommittee, with the exception of the

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
investigation, to close its hearings to Members by the same procedures
designated in this subparagraph for closing hearings to the public:
Provided, however, That the committee or subcommittee may by the same
procedure vote to close one subsequent day of hearing except that the
Committee on Appropriations, the Committee on Armed Services, and the
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the subcommittees therein
may, by the same procedure, vote to close up to five additional
consecutive days of hearings.
(3) Each committee of the House (except the Committee on Rules) shall
make public announcement of the date, place and subject matter of any
committee hearing at least one week before the commencement of the
hearing. If the committee determines that there is good cause to begin
the hearing sooner, it shall make the announcement at the earliest
possible date. Any announcement made under this subparagraph shall be
promptly published in the Daily Digest and promptly entered into the
committee scheduling service of the House Information Systems.
(4) Each committee shall, insofar as is practicable, require each
witness who is to appear before it to file with the committee (in
advance of his or her appearance) a written statement of the proposed
testimony and to limit the oral presentation at such appearance to a
brief summary of his or her argument.
(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
conducted in accordance with the provisions of this clause; except that
a point of order on that ground may be made by any member of the
committee which reported the measure if, in the committee, such point of
order was (A) timely made and (B) improperly overruled or not properly
considered.
(6) The preceding provisions of this paragraph do not apply to the
committee hearings which are provided for by clause 4(a)(1) of rule X.

the completion of the hearing, to call witnesses selected by the
minority to testify with respect to that measure or matter during at
least one day of hearing thereon.

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
to defame, degrade, or incriminate any person.
In either case the committee shall afford such person an opportunity
voluntarily to appear as a witness, and receive and dispose of requests

(B) In any event, the report of any committee on a measure which has
been approved by the committee shall be filed within seven calendar days
(exclusive of days on which the House is not in session) after the day
on which there has been filed with the clerk of the committee a written
request, signed by a majority of the members of the committee, for the

committee unless a majority of the committee was actually present, which
shall be deemed the case if the records of the committee establish that
a majority of the committee responded on a rollcall vote on that
question. No point of order shall lie with respect to a measure or
recommendation on the ground that it was reported without a majority of
the committee actually present unless such point of order was timely

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

filing of the report) has submitted such estimate and comparison 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

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
[[Page 1999]]
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
that measure or matter.
(6) A measure or matter reported by any committee (except the
Committee on Rules in the case of a resolution making in order the
consideration of a bill, resolution, or other order of business), shall
not be considered in the House until the third calendar day, excluding
Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays on which the report of that
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) of 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

such measure or matter in the House. This subparagraph shall not apply
to--

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.

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

4. (a) The following committees shall have leave to report at any time

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

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

[[Page 2001]]
tain 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--

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.

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

primary expense resolution.

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

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--

committee, commission or other entity under the supplemental expense
resolution and the purpose or purposes for which those additional

paragraph.

a committee may provide for the payment or reimbursement of expenses
incurred by any member of the committtee for travel by the member after
the date of the general election of Members in which the Member is not
elected to the

(A) each standing committee and select committee established by

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

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

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.

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 cler-P
[[Page 2003]]
ical 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.

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

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.

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
[[Page 2004]]
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.
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. (a) 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.
(b) The Speaker may, in his discretion, reduce to not less than five
minutes the time within which a rollcall vote by electronic device may
be taken--
(1) after a rollcall vote has been ordered on a motion for the
previous question on a resolution reported by the Committee on Rules
providing a special order of business, on the question of adoption of
such resolution, if the question of adoption follows without
intervening business the vote on the motion for the previous question;
(2) after a rollcall vote has been ordered on an amendment reported
from the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union, on
any subsequent amendment to that bill or resolution reported from the
Committee of the Whole; or
(3) after a rollcall vote has been ordered on a motion to recommit a
bill,
[[Page 2005]]
resolution, or conference report thereon, on the question of passage
or adoption, as the case may be, of such bill, resolution, or
conference report thereon, if the question of passage or adoption
follows without intervening business the vote on the motion to
recommit.
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 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
[[Page 2006]]
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 amendment 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).
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
[[Page 2007]]
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 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 Member, Resident
Commissioner, or Delegate as 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.
(d) Whenever a recorded vote on any question has been decided by a
margin within which the votes cast by the Delegates and the Resident
Commissioner have been decisive, the Committee of the Whole shall
automatically rise and the Speaker shall put that question de novo
without intervening debate or other business. Upon the announcement of
the vote on that question, the Committee of the Whole shall resume its
sitting without intervening motion.
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
[[Page 2008]]
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 committee, 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.
[[Page 2009]]
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

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 subject 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

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. Once a motion to discharge has been
filed, the Clerk shall make the signatures a matter of public record.
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 en-P
[[Page 2010]]
titled 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

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 in either case only at a time or place designated
by the Speaker in the legislative schedule of the day after the calendar
day on which the Member offering 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 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) of 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)(1) 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) of 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.
(2) During consideration of such an amendment to a general
appropriation bill, if the original motion offered by the floor manager
proposes to change existing law, then pending such original motion and
before debate thereon one motion to insist on disagreement to the
amendment proposed by the Senate shall be preferential to any other
motion to dispose of that amendment if offered by the chairman of a
committee having jurisdiction of the subject matter of the amendment or
by a designee. Such a preferential motion shall be separately debatable
for one hour equally divided between its proponent and the proponent of
the original motion. The previous question shall be considered as
ordered on such a preferential motion to its adoption without
intervening 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.
[[Page 2011]]

such time to be given to debate in favor of, and one-half in opposition

(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

of this rule, it shall be in order to move the previous question on the
adoption of the conference report.

(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

provisions of clause 7 of rule XVI if such matter had been offered as
an amendment in the House;

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.

(B) to insist upon disagreement to the Senate amendment and request
a further conference with the Senate; and

of this rule, it shall be in order to move the previous question on such

(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

(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

Representatives and to the rules of duly constituted committees thereof.

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 $100 or less, as adjusted

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
House, or of the Committee of the Whole House, unless or until judicial
or executive proceedings result in reinstatement of the presumption of
his innocence or until he is reelected to the House after the date of
such conviction.

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.

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

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

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

information to which such employee or person will be given access by
such committee.

procedures as it deems necessary to prevent the disclosure, without the
consent of the person or persons concerned, of information in the

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

(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.
[[Page 2025]]
(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.

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 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.

the Federal Government.

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
[[Page 2026]]
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 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.

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.

Procedure
3. The procedure for consideration of alleged violations of clause 2
consists of three steps as follows:
(a) step I, Counseling and Mediation, as set forth in clause 5;
(b) step II, Formal Complaint, Hearing, and Review by the Office of
Fair Employment Practices, as set forth in clause 6; and
(c) step III, Final Review by Review Panel, as set forth in clause
7.
Office of Fair Employment Practices
4. There is established an Office of Fair Employment Practices
(hereafter in this rule referred to as the ``Office''), which shall
carry out functions assigned under this rule. Employees and Hearing
Officers of the Office shall be appointed by, and serve at the pleasure
of, the Chairman and the ranking minority party member of the Committee
on House Administration, acting jointly, and shall be under the
administrative direction of the Clerk of the House of Representatives.
The Office shall be located in the District of Columbia.
Step I: Counseling and Mediation
5. (a) An individual aggrieved by an alleged violation of clause 2 may
request counseling by counselors in the Office, who shall provide
information with respect to rights and related matters under that
clause. A request for counseling shall be made not later than one
hundred and eighty days after the alleged violation and may be oral or
written, at the option of the individual. The period for counseling is
thirty days, unless the employee and the Office agree to reduce the time
period. The Office may not notify the employing authority of the
counseling before the beginning of mediation or the flling of a formal
complaint, whichever occurs first.
(b) If, after counseling, the individual desires to proceed, the
Office shall attempt to resolve the alleged violation through mediation
between the individual and the employing authority.
Step II: Formal Complaint, Hearing, and Review by the Office of Fair
Employment Practices
6. (a) Not later than thirty days after the end of the counseling
period, the individual may file a formal complaint with the Office. Not
later than ten days after filing the formal complaint, the individual
may file with the Office a written request for a hearing on the
complaint.
(b) The hearing shall be conducted--
(1) not later than forty days after filing of the written request
under paragraph (a);
(2) on the record by a Hearing Officer of the Office appointed under
the procedures set forth in clause 4; and
(3) to the greatest extent practicable, in accordance with the
principles and procedures set forth in sections 555 and 556 of title
5, United States Code.
(c) Not later than thirty days after the hearing, the Office shall
issue a written decision to the parties. The decision shall clearly
state the issues raised by the complaint, and shall contain a
determination as to whether a violation of clause 2 has occurred.
Step III: Final Review by Review Panel
7. (a) In General. Not later than twenty days after issuance of the
decision under clause 6, any party may seek formal review of the
decision by filing a written request with the Office. The formal review
shall be conducted by a panel constituted at the beginning of each
Congress and composed of--
(1) two elected officers or employees of the House of
Representatives, appointed by the Speaker;
(2) two employees of the House of Representatives appointed by the
minority leader of the House of Representatives;
(3) two members of the Committee on House Administration (one of
whom shall be appointed as chairman of the panel), appointed by the
Chairman of that Committee; and
(4) two members of the Committee on House Administration, appointed
by the ranking minority party member of that Committee.
If any member of the panel withdraws from a particular review, the
appointing authority for such member shall appoint another officer,
employee, or Member of the House of Representatives, as the case may be,
to be a temporary member of the panel for purposes of that review only.
(b) The review under this clause shall consist of a hearing (conducted
in the manner described in clause 6(b)(3)), if such hearing is
considered necessary by the panel, and an examination of the record,
together with any statements or other documents the panel deems
appropriate. A tie vote by the panel is an affirmation of the 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 sixty days after filing of the request under paragraph (a),
except that when the House has adjourned sine die, in which case an
extension of up to sixty additional days is authorized.
Resolution by Agreement
8. If, after a formal complaint is filed under clause 6, the parties
resolve the issues involved, the parties shall enter into a written
agreement, which shall be effective--
(1) in the case of a matter under review by the Office under clause
6, if approved by the Office; and
(2) in the case of a matter under review by a panel under clause 7,
if approved by the panel.
Remedies
9. The Office or a review panel, as the case may be, may order one or
more of the following remedies:
(a) monetary compensation, to be paid from the clerk-hire allowance
of a Member, or from personnel finds of a committee of the House or
other entity, as appropriate;
(b) monetary compensation, to be paid from the contingent fund of
the House of Representatives;

rule shall be reimbursed for actual and reasonable costs of attending
the hearing, if the individual resides outside the location of the
hearing. Witnesses required to attend the hearings by the Hearing
Officer as necessary to a fair and justiciable hearing shall be
reimbursed for actual and reasonable costs of attending the hearing if
they reside outside the location of the hearing. Expenses are to he paid
from the contingent fund of the House of Representatives.
Prohibition of Intimidation
11. Any intimidation of, or reprisal against, any person by an
employing authority because of the exercise of a right under this rule
is a violation of clause 2.
[[Page 2028]]
Closed Hearings and Confidentiality
12. All hearings under this rule shall be closed. All information
relating to any procedure under this rule is confidential, except that a
decision of the Office under clause 6 or a decision of a review panel
under clause 7 shall be published, if the decision constitutes a final
disposition of the matter.
Exclusivity of Procedures and Remedies
13. The procedures and remedies under this rule are exclusive except
to the extent that the Rules of the House of Representatives and the
Rules of the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct provide
for additional procedures and remedies.
Requests for Witnesses and Information
14. The Office of Fair Employment Practices and the Fair Employment
Practices Review Panel may issue, and the addressees shall comply with,
written requests for the production of documents and the attendance of
witnesses, if such requests are necessary and relevant to the proper
examination of the issues.
Internal Procedures for Resolution of Possible Violations
15. It is the policy of the House of Representatives to encourage each
employing authority to establish internal procedures for examining and
resolving possible violations of this rule. To the greatest extent
practicable, the Office of Fair Employment Practices shall take such
action (consistent with the rights of the parties) as may be necessary
to encourage initial use of such procedures.

QUESTIONS OF ORDER
DECIDED IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AT THE FIRST SESSION OF THE ONE
HUNDRED THIRD CONGRESS
hon. thomas s. foley, of washington, speaker;
donnald k. anderson, of california, clerk
privileges of the house
(Para. 9.7)
a resolution collaterally challenging a standing rule of the house by
delaying its implementation pending a separate determination of its
constitutionality constitutes a proposal to change the 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 the ruling of the speaker.
under rule ix as adopted in the 103d congress, a resolution offered
from the floor by a member other than the majority leader or the
minority leader as a question of the privileges of the house has
immediate precedence only at a time or place designated by the speaker
in the legislative schedule within two legislative days of its being
properly noticed, but the speaker may in his discretion recognize a
member to proceed immediately.
On February 3, 1993, Mr. SOLOMON rose to a question of the privileges
of the House and, pursuant to rule IX, was recognized for the purpose
of submitting the following resolution:
Whereas Article I, section 1, of the Constitution provides
that, ``All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested
in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a
Senate and a House of Representatives;'' and
Whereas Article I, section 2, of the Constitution provides
that, ``The House of Representatives shall be composed of
Members chosen every second year by the people of the several
States;'' and
Whereas the Committee of the Whole is a device used by the
House under which all House members act together to debate
and amend bills raising revenues or directly or indirectly
appropriating money; and
Whereas the Committee of the Whole is an integral part of
the legislative process and the means by which the House of
Representatives exercises its legislative powers and
prerogatives under the Constitution; and
Whereas on January 5, 1993, the House, in the resolution
adopting the Rules of the House for the 103rd Congress (H.
Res. 5), included provisions authorizing the Resident
Commissioner from Puerto Rico and the delegates from the
District of Columbia, Guam, American Samoa and the Virgin
Islands to vote in and preside over the Committee of the
Whole; and
Whereas attempts to refer the proposal to a select
committee to study its constitutionality and to separately
vote on such proposal were prevented by procedural votes, and
the House was thereby precluded from making a separate
determination as to whether such provisions are in
conformance with constitutional requirements and Members'
sworn duty to uphold the Constitution; and
Whereas such proposal affects the representational rights
of duly elected Members of the House under the Constitution
and could result in a derogation or denial of such rights;
and
Whereas such proposal affects the constitutional lawmaking
prerogatives of the House and its Members and the integrity
of the process by which bills are considered, and thus raises
a question of the privileges of the House; and
Whereas the House has just adopted a resolution making it
in order for the Speaker to declare the House resolved into
the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union
for the consideration of legislation, and this represents the
first instance in the 103rd Congress in which the House is
resolving into the Committee of the Whole under the
provisions of the new rule allowing non-Members of the House
to vote in and Chair the Committee of the Whole; and
Whereas the inability and failure of the House to make a
separate determination as to the constitutionality of the
proposal prior to this first use of the new rule presents the
House with an ``extraordinary question'' under the
Constitution requiring a separate determination and thus
raises a question of the privileges of the House; Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That, as a matter of the constitutional
privileges of the House to make all laws and to preserve the
integrity of its proceedings and the representational rights
of its Members, the implementation of those provisions of
House Rules as adopted on January 5, 1993, authorizing the
Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico and the Delegates from
the District of Columbia, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands
and Guam to vote in and preside over the Committee of the
Whole, shall be delayed until such time that the House has
made a separate determination as to whether such provisions
can and should be implemented by a Rule of the House,
consistent with Article I, sections 1 and 2, of the
Constitution.
The SPEAKER made the following statement:
``Under rule IX, a resolution offered from the floor by a Member other
than the majority leader or the minority leader as a question of the
privileges of the House has immediate precedence only at a time or place
designated by the Speaker in the legislative schedule within two
legislative days from its being properly noticed. In the current
circumstances, however, the Chair is inclined to entertain the matter
raised by the gentleman from New York [Mr. Solomon] at this point.''.
Accordingly,
Mr. SOLOMON was recognized for one hour, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, the resolution that has been presented calls for a
delay in the implementation of those provisions of House rules which
would permit non-Member Delegates to vote in and chair the Committee of
the Whole until the House has made a separate determination as to
whether the House can and should implement such a rule under the
existing provisions of the Constitution.
``It clearly raises a question of the privileges of the House for a
variety of reasons stated in the precedents of the House under which we
operate. It is being offered in a timely manner since the House is about
to resolve into the Committee of the Whole for the first time in this
103d Congress under the provision of this new rule.
``In support of this question of privilege, I wish to cite section 662
of the House Rules and Manual, which states that questions of privilege
of the House are those which affect `the integrity of the processes by
which bills are considered,' especially when a process is of
questionable constitutionality.
``In such instances, the precedents made clear that the issue raises
an extraordinary question under the Constitution which is eligible for
separate consideration and determination by the House.
``In this regard, the section cites a question of privilege resolution
offered on August 15, 1978, involving `the constitutional question of
the vote required to pass a joint resolution extending the State
ratification period of a proposed Constitutional amendment.'
``The manual, at section 664 elaborates that this involved `an
extraordinary question * * * where the House had not otherwise made a
separate determination on that procedural question' as to whether a
majority or two-thirds vote was required to pass a joint resolution
extending the ratification period for a constitutional amendment, `and
where consideration of the joint resolution had been made in order.'
``In that instance, after the special order for the joint resolution
had been adopted, a question of privilege resolution was offered which
would have required a two-thirds rather than majority vote to pass the
joint resolution. After the Chair ruled as to its legitimacy, the
question of privilege resolution was subsequently tabled by the House.
``By the same token, the pending question of privilege resolution
raises an extraordinary question under the Constitution, on which the
House has not made a separate determination. And that extraordinary
question is whether delegates can be granted voting privileges in the
Committee of the Whole by a rule of the House, or whether a
constitutional amendment would be required.
``The resolution specifically requires the House, before implementing
the
[[Page 2032]]
Delegate voting rule, to make a separate determination as to whether the
rule can and should be implemented consistent with the provisions of
sections 1 and 2 of article I of the Constitution.
``Numerous Supreme Court decisions have held that while the right of
the House to determine its own rules of proceeding under the
Constitution is nearly absolute, it may not by its rules violate
constitutional rights or ignore constitutional mandates.
``In this instance, not only are the representational rights of House
Members involved, but the rights of their constituents to equal
representation as well.
``In the present instance, as with the 1978 precedent I have cited,
the House has never made a separate determination as to whether Delegate
voting in the Committee of the Whole can be authorized by rule or
whether it requires a constitutional amendment.
``The adoption of House Resolution 5 on January 5 of this year cannot
be construed as a separate determination of that issue since the
Delegate voting provisions constituted only three of over 20 changes in
House rules made by that resolution, all of which were adopted by a
single vote.
``Moreover, on three occasions when that House rules resolution was
called up or under consideration, attempts to separate the Delegate
voting issue were rebuffed by rulings or procedures:
``First on the refusal of the Speaker to recognize a Member to offer a
question of privilege resolution that would have required a separate
vote;
``Second, on a motion to refer the resolution to a select committee to
study and report on the constitutionality of the Delegate voting
provisions; and
``Third, on a motion to commit with instructions to delete the
Delegate voting provisions. In all three instances, opportunities to
separately determine the efficacy and constitutionality of the delegate
voting provisions were blocked by procedural moves.
``For the House to protect itself against overreaching its
constitutional rulemaking powers, the extraordinary-question doctrine
enunciated in the 1978 precedent must be applied to such a serious
constitutional issue as this.
``The second precedent I will cite in support of this resolution is
found at section 664 of the manual, `a question of privileges of the
House is raised' when there is an alleged `denial of representational
rights.'
``While the precedent cited in that incident involved inequitable
party ratios at the subcommittee level, the same principle should apply
to the possible derogation or denial of representational rights of House
Members in the Committee of the Whole where the votes of non-Members
could make the difference on important questions.
``Mr. Speaker, I realize that it might be argued that this resolution
does not constitute a question of privilege because it might be
interpreted as changing the rules of the House.
``However, that is not the case because the resolution only calls for
a delay in the implementation of the rule until the House has made a
separate dtermination as to whether it should be implemented in light of
the requirements of article I of the Constitution.
``In 1978 precedent, a question of privilege resolution was ruled
proper even though it sought to alter the number of Members required to
approve the extension from a majority to two-thirds.
``If anything, the 1978 precedent was more farreaching than the
pending question since it would have changed rules already adopted which
required onl a majority vote for passing legislation brought under a
special rule.
``No pretense was made that the joint resolution was framed as an
amendment to the Constitution requiring a two-thirds vote of both
Houses, let alone ratification by three-fourths of the States.
``And yet the Chair's holding in that 1978 precedent makes clear that
it involved extraordinary question under the Constitution, and the
resolution therefore constituted a legitimate question of privilege.
``The pending question of privilege resolution does not attempt to
force a two-thirds vote of the House to permit implementation of the
delegate voting rule. It simply requires the House, by simple majority
vote, to make a determination that implementation of the rule is
permissible under the Constitution.
``Such a determination could be made immediately after the question of
privilege resolution is adopted, and the House could then proceed with
the consideration of the pending legislation based on the determination
made by the House.
``In conclusion, Mr. Speaker, the issues raised by this resolution
clearly involve a question of the privileges of the House and should
therefore be allowed for consideration and determination by the House.
``Let us do it the right way. The Chair can do it right now by letting
us pass this resolution and then bringing up a resolution which would
speak to the admissibility, speak to the constitutionality, and then go
ahead with the vote, but we are entitled to that, and so are the people
we represent, Mr. Speaker. I would hope that the Chair would rule in my
favor.''.
The SPEAKER ruled that the resolution submitted did not present a
question of the privileges of the House under rule IX, and said:
``The gentleman from New York [Mr. Solomon] was kind enough to furnish
the Chair a copy of his resolution and his supporting arguments citing
certain precedents.
``On August 15, 1978, Speaker O'Neill ruled that a question of the
privileges of the House may be based on an assertion that the immediate
determination of an extraordinary procedural question is indispensable
to the integrity of its impending proceedings, where that procedural
question was not otherwise addressed in the rules of the House.
``In that case, the question of the vote required to pass a joint
resolution proposing an extension of the ratification deadline for a
constitutional amendment already passed by Congress and submitted to the
State legislatures was not directly addressed in the rules of the House.
Indeed, on that occasion the House had not otherwise made a separate
determination on that procedural question either in the context of the
adoption of its rules for that Congress or any specific rule.
``In that case, there was no prior House determination of the
procedural question being challenged. The uncertainty of the very nature
of the extension joint resolution on that occasion--that is, whether it
represented legislation passable by a majority or was more tantamount to
a constitutional amendment, and whether it required presentation to the
President--belied the argument that the rules of the House clearly
addressed the procedure.
``In the instant case, the provisions of clause 2 of rule XII and
Clauses 1(a) and 2(d) of rule XXIII adopted as part of House Resolution
5 on January 5, 1993, specifically addressed the procedures complained
of and sought to be delayed in the pending resolution. A delay in the
implementation of a rule is in essence a change in that rule.
``The precedents are clear that the validity of an existing rule of
the House may not be challenged under the guise of a question of
privilege, whether or not that existing rule was separately adopted by a
vote of the House or as part of a package of rules adopted by the House.
``As cited in section 664 of the House rules and manual, the Speaker
ruled on January 23, 1984, that a resolution directing that the party
ratios of all standing committees, subcommittees, and staffs of the
House be changed within a time certain to reflect overall party ratios
in the House was held to constitute a change in the rules of the House
and not to constitute a proper question of the privileges of the House,
since House rules already provided mechanisms for changing the selection
of committee members and staff. The Speaker ruled that because the rules
complained of could be properly addressed by proposed rules changes
which could be presented to the House in a privileged manner, that is,
by resolution reported from the Committee on Rules or discharged
therefrom, or in that case by privileged resolutions from the respective
party caucases relating to committee membership, it was not in order to
collaterally challenge the fairness of an adopted rule under the guise
of a question of privilege.
``By contrast, the ruling of October 2, 1984, cited by the gentleman
from New York, involved a situation where the rules of the House did not
address the alleged unfairness complained of--subcommittee ratios--and
where the reso-
[[Page 2033]]
lution offered as a question of privilege only admonished the House to
respect the representational rights of minority committee members and
did not constitute a directive or admonition to change any rule. That
precedent does not support the proposition that the House may as a
question of privilege collaterally challenge the fairness or validity of
an adopted rule.
``The Chair rules that the resolution does not state a question of
privilege under rule IX.''.
Mr. SOLOMON 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 announced that the yeas had it.
Mr. SOLOMON 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 motion to lay the appeal on the table was agreed to.
A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said motion was agreed to was, by

point of order
(Para. 10.21)
the committee on rules may recommend a special order of business
providing that a senate amendment pending at the speaker's table and
otherwise requiring consideration in committee of the whole under
clause 1 of rule xx be ``hereby'' considered as adopted.
pending a privileged resolution from the committee on rules providing
that upon its adoption a house bill be taken from the speaker's table
to the end that the senate amendment thereto be agreed to, a point of
order against the consideration of the senate amendment is not well
taken, as only the ``hereby'' resolution is then before the house.
On February 4, 1993, Mr. GORDON, by direction of the Committee on
Rules, called up the following resolution (H. Res. 71):
Resolved, That upon the adoption of this resolution the
bill (H.R. 1) to grant family and temporary medical leave
under certain circumstances be, and the same is hereby, taken
from the Speaker's table to the end that the Senate amendment
thereto be, and the same is hereby, agreed to.
Pending consideration of said resolution,
point of order
(Para. 10.22)
Mr. WALKER made a point of order against the consideration of the
resolution, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, House rule XX provides that, and I quote:
Any amendment of the Senate to any House bill----
``And I repeat:
Any amendment of the Senate * * * shall be subject to a
point of order that it shall first be considered in the
Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, if,
originating in the House, it would be subject to that point.
``And the rule goes on to provide just one exception to this
requirement is possible, and that is if a motion to disagree to the
Senate amendment and request a conference is made.
``Mr. Speaker, House Resolution 71 contains the Senate amendment by
virtue of being a self-executing rule. As such, my point of order must
be sustained and the resolution must be considered in the Committee of
the Whole.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. SKAGGS, overruled the point of order, and
said:
``The Chair is prepared to rule on the gentleman's point of order.
``Before the House at this time is not the Senate amendment itself,
but a rule properly reported from the Rules Committee to the House of
Representatives, against which a rule XX point of order is not well
taken. If we were considering the Senate amendment itself, the
gentleman's point of order would be well-grounded, but the Chair will
rule the point of order out of order.''.
point of order
(Para. 16.4)
a special order for consideration of a bill reported by a committee not
having jurisdiction to report appropriations may, without itself
violating clause 5(a) of rule xxi, provide that an amendment containing
an appropriation be considered as adopted when the bill is called up.
a special order for consideration of a bill may, without violating
clause 7 of rule xvi, provide that a nongermane amendment be considered
as adopted when the bill is called up.
a special order for consideration of a bill may, without triggering the
reporting requirements of section 308(a)(1) of the budget act, provide
that an amendment providing new budget authority be considered as
adopted when the bill is called up.
the adoption of a special order for consideration of a bill that
``self-executes'' the adoption of an amendment providing new budget
authority does not, itself, provide new budget authority within the
meaning of section 308 of the budget act.
On February 24, 1993, Mr. BONIOR, by direction of the Committee on
Rules, called up the following resolution (H. Res. 103):
Resolved, That upon the adoption of this resolution it
shall be in order to consider in the House the bill (H.R.
920) to extend the emergency unemployment compensation
program, and for other purposes. The amendment recommended by
the Committee on Ways and Means printed in the bill and the
amendment printed in the report of the Committee on Rules
accompanying this resolution shall be considered as adopted.
All points of order against the bill, as amended, and against
its consideration are waived. Debate on the bill shall not
exceed two hours
equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking
minority member of the Committee on Ways and Means. The
previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill,
as amended, to final passage without intervening motion
except one motion to recommit.
Pending consideration of said resolution,
point of order
(Para. 16.5)
Mr. WALKER made a point of order against the consideration of the
resolution, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order against House Resolution 103
on the ground that two amendments self-executed by the resolution are
in violation of two different House rules.
``Mr. Speaker, first, House Resolution 103 is in violation of clause
5(a) of rule XXI because it proposes to adopt the Ways and Means
Committee amendment printed as section 4 in H.R. 920 as reported. That
section deals with financing provisions and in effect reappropriates
advance account funds to make payments to the States to provide these
additional benefits. Clause 5(a) of rule XXI prohibits appropriations
provisions in a bill not reported by the appropriations committee.
``Second, Mr. Speaker, House Resolution 103 attempts to adopt an
amendment contained in the report to accompany the resolution extending
coverage of the bill to railroad employees. That amendment is in
violation of clause 7 of rule XVI which prohibits the consideration of
germane amendments. The amendment contained in the Rules Committee
report is under the jurisdiction of the Energy and Commerce Committee
and is therefore not germane to this bill from the Ways and Means
Committee.
``Mr. Speaker, since both of those amendments will be considered to
be adopted when this rule is adopted, they are currently before us and
must be subject to points of order. It is clear from the rule that once
the rule is adopted, the bill as amended by them is not subject to
points of order. But, prior to the adoption of this resolution, those
two amendments are obviously a part of this resolution and subject to
the two points of order I have raised.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, overruled the point of order,
and said:
``The Chair is prepared to rule.
``The fact that amendments which if offered separately would be
violative of the rules does not prevent the Rules Committee from self-
executing the adoption of those amendments together in the rule itself,
by providing for their adoption upon the adoption of the rule. The
amendments are thus not separately before the House at this time.''.
point of order
(Para. 16.6)
Mr. WALKER made a further point of order against the resolution, and
said:
[[Page 2034]]
``Mr. Speaker, I make another point of order against House Resolution
103 on the ground that it is in violation of section 308(a) of the
Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
``Mr. Speaker, section 308(a) of the Congressional Budget Act
provides that, and I quote, `Whenever a committee of either House
reports to its House a bill or resolution, or committee amendment
thereto, providing new budget authority * * * new spending authority
described in section 401(c)(2), or new credit authority * * * the
report accompanying that bill or resolution shall contain a statement,
or the committee shall make available such a statement * * * prepared
after consultation with the Director of the Congressional Budget
Office' detailing the costs of that provision.
``Mr. Speaker, the amendment contained in the Rules Committee report,
which would be adopted upon the adoption of this resolution, extends
coverage of this bill to railroad workers. It is my understanding that
this may entail a cost of $20 million, but the Rules Committee has not
provided a cost estimate from CBO in its report on this amendment as
required by section 308 of the Budget Act. This is an amendment
reported by the Rules Committee and therefore is subject to the CBO
cost estimate requirements. I therefore urge that my point of order be
sustained.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, overruled the point of order,
and said:
``The Chair is prepared to rule.
``The gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Walker] raises an objection
based on section 308(a) of the Budget Act on the basis that the report
accompanying this resolution coming from the Rules Committee would have
to have a CBO estimate of the potential cost involved by virtue of
adoption of the amendment. However, the Chair, after consulting
precedents and the rules of the House, rules that the cost estimate
does not have to be made a part of the report accompanying the rule
being brought from the Rules Committee, but rather the point of order
might lie against the underlying bill. The resolution itself does not
enact budget authority and, therefore, the resolution coming from the
Rules Committee does not itself have to have the cost estimate in the
accompany report.
``Therefore, the Chair now would overrule the gentleman's point of
order.''.
point of order
(Para. 16.8)
Mr. WALKER made a further point of order against the resolution, and
said:
``Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order against the amendment printed
in the Rules Committee report, which I understand is now before us,
based upon the Chair's previous ruling.
``I make my point of order on the ground that the report in this
resolution violates section 308(a) of the Budget Act requiring a cost
estimate.
``Section 308(a) of the Budget Act, which requires the CBO cost
estimate in the report on any committee bill, resolution or amendment,
contains no exemption for the report of the Committee on Rules.
``I quote from the section 308(a) of the Congressional Budget Act:
Whenever a committee of either house reports to its house a
bill or resolution or committee amendment thereto providing
new budget authority, new spending authority described in
section 402(c)(2) or new credit authority, the report
accompanying that bill or resolution shall contain a
statement or the committee shall make available such a
statement prepared after consultation with the director of
the Congressional Budget Office.
``Mr. Speaker, earlier in the debate on this particular resolution,
the gentleman who purports to be the author of the railroad worker
amendment admitted costs are involved in his amendment. The quote that I
have just read means that the committee then has an obligation to
provide to the House a congressional budget statement.
``Section 308(a) clearly applies to the committee amendment, and the
amendment contained in the Rules Committee report is a Rules Committee
amendment. It was not reported by the Ways and Means Committee, it was
not reported by the Energy and Commerce Committee and so therefore is
exclusively in the jurisdiction of the Rules Committee.
``The amendment contained in the Rules Committee report on this
resolution will be considered to have been adopted when this resolution
is adopted. So there is no question who should provide the CBO cost
estimate. It is the Rules Committee. They are not above the rules.
``Mr. Speaker, I ask that my point of order be sustained.''.
Mr. BONIOR was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``We had this argument a little over an hour ago and it is again
timely, as the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Walker] has indicated.
``He refers to section 308. Section 308 applies to measures providing
new budget authority. The resolution before us does not provide for new
budget authority.
``The rule makes in order a bill as amended. The bill as amended
provides for the new spending.
``House Resolution 103 waives all points of order against the bill as
amended and against its consideration. It waives all point of order
against the bill and against its consideration.
``Mr. Speaker, I ask the Chair to rule that the point of order is not
in order.''.
Mr. WALKER was recognized to speak further, and said:
``It is true the Rules Committee has waived all points of order
against the bill that would be considered pursuant to this rule. That is
the reason why this point of order is timely now.
``When it comes to a question in the bill itself, the point of order
with regard to the Budget Act will not be in order because that point of
order has been waived. The only time we can get at this particular item
is in the self-enacting amendment which is a part of the rule.
``The gentleman [Mr. Bonior] has not referred to the self-enacting
amendment. That is the question to which this particular point of order
pertains and it is up to the Chair, I think, to sustain the point of
order based upon the fact that the self-enacting amendment within this
rule does in fact add costs. It is new budget authority and is therefore
in violation of the Congressional Budget Act.''.
Mr. WILLIAMS was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``Mr. Speaker, it does seem to me that my colleagues are correct in
wanting to be informed with regard to the cost effect of that provision
which is executed by this rule. That provision has been handled this way
three times by previous Congresses. The provision includes, this is what
we are executing here, it includes coverage, extended unemployment
coverage for America's railroad workers who have their own unemployment
fund and therefore would not be covered unless there was a separate
amendment or unless we do it this way. Previous Congresses have chosen
to do it this way.
``The cost, Mr. Speaker, is estimated by both the Congressional Budget
Office as well as the Railroad Retirement Trust Fund System, to be $2
\1/2\ million for the coming year, and the coverage would be extended to
1,200 railroad workers.
``I do think my colleagues are correct in asking for that information,
and they now have it.''.
Mr. WALKER was recognized to speak further, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from Montana [Mr. Williams] has just made
the case. While he has informed the House of his estimate of what this
costs, the fact is that the rules of the House require that the
statement be a Congressional Budget Office statement contained within
the report. That is what the House does not have. That is what the House
requires.
``The gentleman from Montana has also made the point that the
amendment is included in this rule, that it is new budget authority,
that it does extend to new people and it does cost at least $2 \1/2\
million. That is information that should be contained in the committee
report. It is not. It is therefore a violation of the rules of the
House. It is a violation of the Budget Act, and my point of order should
be sustained.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, overruled the point of order,
and said:
``The Chair is prepared to rule.
``The amendment printed in the bill and the amendment printed in House
Report 103-18 will be considered as adopted by the operation of House
Resolution 103, which is the special order now pending before the House.
[[Page 2035]]
``After adoption of this special order, House Resolution 103, the bill
is called up for consideration as so amended.
``A point of order under section 308 of the Budget Act against
consideration of the bill in that form could properly come at that point
when the bill is called up for consideration.
``As the Chair indicated previously, the new budget authority at issue
would be provided not by the resolution reported by the Committee on
Rules, but rather by the bill as amended.
``At this point, the point of order does not lie. That all points of
order against the bill as amended will be waived by House Resolution
103, if adopted, does not cause such points of order to lie at some
earlier stage.
``The rules of the House authorize the Committee on Rules to report a
resolution providing a special order of business, and a point of order
under Section 308 of the Budget Act does not lie against such a
resolution on the ground that its adoption would have the effect of
abrogating clause 2(l)(3) of rule XI, which incorporates the requirement
of section 308 in the standing rules.
``Accordingly, the point of order is overruled.''.
words taken down
(Para. 55.3)
remarks in debate in the committee of the whole that characterize a
pending amendment as ``demeaning'' to a specified public policy are not
unparliamentary since directed only at the amendment and not at the
motive or the character of its proponent.
On May 13, 1993, the SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, pursuant to
House Resolution 164 and rule XXIII, declared 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. 820) 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.
Mr. OBEY, Acting Chairman, assumed the chair; and after some time
spent therein,
words taken down
(Para. 55.4)
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. SHARP, assumed the Chair.
When Mr. OBEY, Acting Chairman, reported that during the consideration
of said bill in Committee, certain words of the gentleman from North
Carolina [Mr. Valentine] used in debate were objected to and upon
request, were read at the Clerk's desk.
The Clerk read the words taken down as follows:
The Walker amendment, so-called middle class amendment set-
aside, in our opinion, demeans, demeans the well-established
policy to bring minorities and women into the economic
mainstream and should be strenuously opposed. And I ask my
colleagues to again support the committee in opposing Mr.
Walker's demeaning amendment.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. SHARP, said:
``The Chair rules that the use of the language `demeaning' has, as its
descriptive objective, the amendment itself and the policy therein and
does not go to the motive or the character of the individual who is
offering the amendment.
``Members may take issue with the description of the amendment, but it
is certainly, in this instance, not used to describe the character of
the Member or his motives. The words are not unparliamentary.
``The Committee will resume its sitting.''.
The Committee resumed its sitting.
point of order
(Para. 63.6)
a special order for the consideration of a bill may, without triggering
the ``rules ramseyer'' requirements of clause 4(d) of rule xi, provide
that the text of the bill be modified to include certain changes in the
rules of the house, since only the bill (if enacted into law), and not
the special order, would repeal or amend any rule of the house.
a special order for the consideration of a bill that would ``self-
execute'' certain amendments, including rules changes, but which would
not itself repeal or amend any rule of the house--that end being
achieved only by enactment of the bill--is not ``a resolution repealing
or amending any of the rules of the house'' within the meaning of
clause 4(d) of rule xi.
On May 27, 1993, Mr. DERRICK, by direction of the Committee on Rules,
called up the following resolution (H. Res. 186):
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. 2264) to provide for reconciliation pursuant
to section 7 of the concurrent resolution on the budget for
fiscal year 1994. 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 the amendments made in order by this resolution and
shall not exceed two hours equally divided and controlled by
the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on
the Budget. After general debate the bill shall be considered
for amendment under the five-minute rule and shall be
considered as read. The modifications to the bill printed in
part 1 of the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying
this resolution shall be considered as adopted in the House
and in the Committee of the Whole. All points of order
against the bill, as modified, are waived. No amendment to
the bill, as modified, shall be in order except the amendment
in the nature of a substitute printed in part 2 of the
report. The amendment in the nature of a substitute may be
offered only by Representative Kasich of Ohio or his
designee, shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for
one hour equally divided and controlled by the proponent and
an opponent, and shall not be subject to amendment. All
points of order against the amendment in the nature of a
substitute are waived. At the conclusion of consideration of
the bill for amendment the Committee shall rise and report
the bill, as modified, to the House with such amendment as
may have been adopted. The previous question shall be
considered as ordered on the bill and amendment thereto to
final passage without intervening motion except one motion to
recommit, which may not include instructions.
Pending consideration of said resolution,
point of order
(Para. 63.7)
Mr. SOLOMON made a point of order against the consideration of the
resolution, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, respectfully, I make a point of order against House
Resolution 186 on the grounds that it is in violation of House rule XI,
clause 4(d).
``Mr. Speaker, House rule XI, clause 4(d) provides that, and I quote,
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, number one, the text
of any part of the rules of the House of Representatives
which is proposed to be repealed and, number two, 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.
``Mr. Speaker, House Resolution 186 provides that upon its adoption
`Modifications to H.R. 2264, printed in part 1 of the report of the
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution, shall be considered as
adopted in the House and in the Committee of the Whole.'
``One of those modifications, Mr. Speaker, contained in the Committee
on Rules report, adds a totally new title XV to the bill entitled
`Budget Process.'
``Subtitle B of that title in the report is entitled `Amendment to the
Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974; Conforming
Amendments.'
``Section 15211 of that subtitle is entitled `Conforming Amendments to
the rules of the House of Representatives.' The section includes six
separate, permanent, not temporary but permanent, amendments to the
House Rules which amend: rule X, clause 4(g); rule XI, clause
2(L)(3)(B); rule XI, clause 2(L)(6); rule XI, clause 7; rule XXIII,
clause 8; and rule XLIX, clause 2.
``And yet, despite the fact that this resolution, upon its adoption,
amends House rules in those six different parts, nowhere in the report
of the Committee on Rules for this resolution is there any kind of
comparative print showing the changes being made from the existing rules
as is required in House rule XI, clause 4(d), which I cited earlier
today.
[[Page 2036]]
``Mr. Speaker, it will not do to argue that this change is being made
in an order of business resolution. House rule XI does not differentiate
between special rules and other resolutions reported from the Committee
on Rules. It only refers to `a resolution repealing or amending any rule
of the House' whenever it is reported by the Committee on Rules.
``Mr. Speaker, the resolution clearly makes such changes, and the
report must, therefore, include a comparative print showing those
changes. Otherwise, I can assure my colleagues, Mr. Speaker, as I look
at all of these changes, which I have here now, 90 percent of the
Members of this House have never seen this document that I have in my
hand here. I know almost 100 percent on our side, and I am sure only
those who might have been active last night between the hours of 2 a.m.
and 4 a.m. have any idea what is in here.
``So it just is not right. If we had these comparatives showing the
differences of what is being changed or repealed or added, at least we
could make some kind of a fair judgment.
``I, therefore, urge that my point of order be sustained.''.
Mr. DERRICK was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``The gentleman from New York [Mrs. Solomon] makes the point of order
that the rule violates clause 4(D) of rule XI. This clause requires the
Rules Committee to include a comparative print displaying changes to the
rules of the House when the committee reports a resolution repealing or
amending any rule.
``House Resolution 186 modifies the text of the reconciliation bill.
The bill as modified amends House rules. But the resolution under
consideration does not, in itself, repeal or amend any rule of the
House.
``Mr. Speaker, I urge you to overrule the point of order.''.
Mr. WALKER was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``Mr. Speaker, it seems to me what I hear the gentleman from South
Carolina saying is that the resolution does not so state these rules
changes and so, therefore, they will not really take place. And the
House should not have to fear them.
``Understand, what he is suggesting is that the self-enacting
amendments that the resolution makes in order are not directly spelled
out in the resolution and so, therefore, should not have to be
considered in all of this, because two of the self-enacting amendments
are what the gentleman refers to in the changes in text.
``We now have this rather strange situation on the floor where the
Committee on Rules can come down, violate the fundamental rules of the
House with self-enacting provisions, and claim that somehow these are
not a part of their rule. They can go up and make deals in the dead of
night behind closed doors, come out into the Committee on Rules, effect
those deals,
make them into self-enacting amendments where nobody has seen the text
of them, and then come to the floor later on and claim that somehow
these do not have any real effect. That simply is not the way in which
the House should proceed.
``Mr. Speaker, I would suggest that the gentleman from New York [Mr.
Solomon] is absolutely correct. They are coming to the floor with an
intention to change the rules of the House of Representatives. When we
adopt this rule, we will adopt self-enacting provisions which, if
finally adopted, will change the rules of the House and we will have no
comparison between the two.
``This would be an appalling precedent to set in the House, that what
we are doing is trampling on the rules of the House without the proper
procedures. It would certainly go along with how this budget resolution
has been brought forward. The Chair, in all fairness, should sustain the
point of order and should not simply take the majority party's opinion
on this that is trying to ram through something extralegally.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, overruled the point of order,
and said:
``Clause 4(d) of rule XI requires the Committee on Rules to provide a
comparative print of proposals to change the rules whenever it reports
`a resolution repealing or amending any of the Rules of the House.'
``The jurisdiction of the Committee on Rules is not confined to the
rules, however. It extends also to the order of business of the House.
Thus, the committee is authorized to report a resolution providing a
special order of business.
``House Resolution 186 provides a special order of business. Its
adoption would modify the text of H.R. 2264 to include certain changes
in the rules, and would provide for the consideration of the bill, as
modified, by the House. But House Resolution 186 does not, itself,
repeal or amend any rule of the House. Only the bill--H.R. 2264--would,
if enacted into law, amend House rules. Consequently, the requirement of
clause 4(d) of rule XI is not applicable.
``Consistent with the precedent of February 24, 1993, the point of
order is overruled.''.
point of order
(Para. 86.10)
a resolution reciting the request of a united states attorney that the
house refrain from releasing to the public certain information
developed during its internal investigation of the operation and
management of the office of the postmaster, lest it compromise an
ongoing criminal proceeding, and resolving as the sense of the house
that it would vote on the question of releasing such information when
the united states attorney determined that he had no objection, gives
rise to a question of privileges of the house under rule ix.
On July 22, 1993, Mr. GEPHARDT rose to a question of the privileges
of the House and submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 223):
Whereas the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia on
July 19, 1993 announced that the former Postmaster of the
House of Representatives was pleading guilty to criminal
counts of conspiracy and aiding and abetting the embezzlement
of public funds,
Whereas the operation of the House Post Office during the
tenure of the former Postmaster was the subject of a
bipartisan Task Force to Investigate the Operation and
Management of the House Post Office of the Committee on House
Administration,
Whereas the former Task Force published a public report on
July 24, 1992 in which were included portions of transcripts
of its proceedings,
Whereas the House on July 22, 1992, voted to provide both
the public report and all the records of the former Task
Force to the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct and
to the Department of Justice, but declined to make the
transcripts of the former Task Force's proceedings public,
Whereas one of the reasons the House declined to make the
transcripts of proceedings of the former Task Force public at
that time was a concern that such release not compromise an
ongoing criminal proceeding conducted by the U.S. Attorney
for the District of Columbia,
Whereas the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia on
July 21, 1993 communicated to the Speaker and the Republican
Leader his strong objection to the public release of the
records of the former Task Force as follows:
U.S. Department of Justice,
U.S. Attorney,
Washington, DC, July 21, 1993.
Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
Speaker, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
Hon. Robert H. Michel,
Minority Leader, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Speaker and Congressman Michel: We have been
advised that the House of Representatives may be considering
the public release of previously confidential materials
generated during the inquiry conducted last year by the Task
Force to Investigate the Operation and Management of the
House Post Office. I am writing to express this Office's
serious concern that the release of such materials could have
a significant adverse effect on the ongoing criminal
investigation being conducted by this Office into matters
associated with the House Post Office. Accordingly, I ask you
not to authorize the release of such materials.
Last year, this Office endeavored to work cooperatively
with the Task Force, so as to enable the Task Force to
conduct its mandated operations-and-management review of the
Post Office, without invading the integrity of the criminal
investigation. After completing its review in July of last
year, the Task Force prudently concluded that many of the
materials that it had collected or generated--including
deposition and interview transcripts and tapes--ought to
remain confidential, in part because the publication of such
materials posed a significant potential to compromise the
ongoing grand jury investigation. That potential remains
today. The investigation is continuing, and inevitably
involves many of the same witnesses and transactions that the
Task Force inquiry included.
For these reasons, I strongly request that the House
refrain from releasing additional
[[Page 2037]]
materials generated by the Task Force inquiry.
Sincerely,
J. Ramsey Johnson,
U.S. Attorney.
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House that, when the
United States Attorney for the District of Columbia at any
time informs the House that he has no objection to the public
release of the transcripts of proceedings of the former Task
Force, then the House immediately shall take up and bring to
vote the question of the release of the transcripts of
proceedings of the former Task Force;
Resolved further, That the Speaker is directed to
communicate to the United States Attorney for the District of
Columbia the request of the House that he promptly advise the
House when he determines that he has no objection to the
public release of the transcripts of proceedings of the
former Task Force; and
Resolved further, That the Clerk is directed to transmit
promptly such communication of the Speaker and a copy of this
Resolution to the United States Attorney for the District of
Columbia.
Pending consideration of said resolution,
point of order
(Para. 86.11)
Mr. WALKER made a point of order against consideration of said
resolution as not constituting a question of privilege, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, the resolution as presented to the House does not
constitute a question of privilege. There is no violation of rule IX
where questions of privilege have to relate to particular items of the
House, primarily the saftety, dignity, and integrity of its
proceedings. There is no allegation in this resolution that any such
matter has taken place, nor is there any disciplinary action that is in
the resolution.
``So, therefore, this does not constitute an appropriate question of
privilege to bring before the House.''.
The SPEAKER overruled the point of order, and said:
``The Chair believes that the resolution meets the requirements of
rule IX which involves the question of integrity of the House and
involves papers of the House, and accordingly the Chair overrules the
point of order, and states that the resolution of the gentleman from
Missouri [Mr. Gephardt] states a question of privilege.''.
privileges of the house
(Para. 86.13)
a resolution alleging malfeasance in the office of the postmaster
evidenced by the former postmaster's pleas of guilty in a criminal
proceeding, and directing the committee on house administration to
release to the public complete transcripts of its investigatory task
force thereon, gives rise to a question of privileges of the house
under rule ix.
On July 22, 1993, Mr. MICHEL rose to a question of the privileges of
the House and sumbitted the following resolution (H. Res. 222):
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 Report of the Committee on House Administration
selectively included portions of the transcript of the
proceedings of the Task Force in the Appendix of their
Report;
Whereas efforts in the 102d Congress to release the full
transcript of the Task Force were defeated in the House on
July 22, 1992 and July 23, 1992;
Whereas the former Postmaster of the House of
Representatives, Robert V. Rota, from 1978 continuing until
April 1992 conspired, confederated and agreed with other
persons, including Members of Congress, to commit offenses
against the United States.
Whereas the former Postmaster has pled guilty to making
false statements to the Task Force and discussed with his
Supervisor of Accounts the need to withhold information
during interviews with United States Postal Inspectors and
the Congressional Committee investigating the House post
office;
Whereas the former Postmaster engaged in a cover up of the
exchange of vouchers and postage stamps for cash beginning in
May of 1980 and continued throughout the House investigation
of the post office;
Whereas the integrity of the House of Representatives has
been impugned by the actions of Mr. Rota and others: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Committee on House Administration is
directed to immediately make public complete transcripts of
all proceedings of the Task Force, including depositions and
statements of witnesses and any tapes of such proceedings.
When said resolution was considered.
The SPEAKER ruled that the resolution submitted did present a question
of the privileges of the House under rule IX, and said:
``The Chair finds that the proposed resolution does present a question
of privileges of the House.''.

a special order of business nearly identical to one previously rejected
by the house, but providing a different scheme for general debate, does
not constitute ``another of the same substance'' within the meaning of
section xliii of jefferson's manual (relating to reconsideration).
a special order for consideration of a bill may, without violating
clause 7 of rule xvi, provide that a nongermane amendment be considered
as adopted when the bill is called up.
a special order for consideration of a general appropriation bill may,
without itself violating clause 2 of rule xxi, provide that an
amendment changing existing law be considered as adopted when the bill
is called up.
On July 27, 1993, Mr. WHEAT, by direction of the Committee on Rules,
called up the following resolution (H. Res. 226):
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. 2667) making emergency supplemental
appropriations for relief from the major, widespread flooding
in the Midwest 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. General debate shall be confined to
the bill and the amendments made in order by this resolution
and shall not exceed ninety minutes equally divided and
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the
Committee on Appropriations. After general debate the bill
shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule
and shall be considered as read. The modification to the bill
printed in part 1 of the report of the Committee on Rules
accompanying this resolution shall be considered as adopted
in the House and in the Committee of the Whole. All points of
order against the bill, as modified, are waived. No amendment
to the bill, as modified, shall be in order except the
amendment printed in part 2 of the report. The amendment
printed in part 2 of the report may be offered only by the
named proponent or a designee, shall be considered as read,
shall be debatable for the time specified in the report
equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an
opponent, and shall not be subject to amendment. At the
conclusion of consideration of the bill for amendment the
Committee shall rise and report the bill, as modified, to the
House with such amendment as may have been adopted. The
previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill
and amendment thereto to final passage without intervening
motion except one motion to recommit.
Pending consideration of said resolution,
point of order
(Para. 89.7)
Mr. SOLOMON made a point of order against the consideration of the
resolution, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, it is a longstanding practice of parliamentary law in
this House that an amendment once rejected cannot be considered in
identical form to the same bill.
``I cite Cannon's Precedents, volume 8, section 2834, and I quote:
`It is not in order to offer an amendment identical with one previously
disagreed to.'
``And, quoting from Deschler's Precedents, volume 9, section 35, `It
is not in order to offer an amendment identical to one previously
rejected.'
``And finally, from Procedure in the House, 97th Congress, section
33.1, and again I quote: `It is not in order to offer an amendment
identical to one previously rejected. An amendment once rejected cannot
be re-offered in identical form.'
``Mr. Speaker, the pending resolution, House Resolution 226,
provides, and I quote: `The modification to the bill printed in part 1
of the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution
shall be considered as adopted in the House and in the Committee of the
Whole.'
``The so-called modification printed in part 1 of the Rules Committee
report on House Resolution 226 proposes to insert at the appropriate
place a new section entitled, `Youth Fair Chance Program.'
[[Page 2038]]
``On Thursday, July 22, 1993, the House rejected House Resolution
220, which provided on page 2, beginning at line 10, the following:
`The modification to the bill printed in part 1 of the report of the
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution shall be considered as
adopted in the House and in the Committee of the Whole.'
``And part 1 of the report to accompany that resolution contains an
identical modification to that contained in the report on this
resolution.
``The report on House Resolution 220 proposed to insert at the
appropriate place a new section entitled, `Youth Fair Chance Program.'
``A careful examination of both reports will reveal that the
modifications considered to be adopted in both the House and in the
Committee of the Whole are identical--word-for-word.
``This device of having an amendment considered as adopted upon the
adoption of the rule is called a self-execution provision. At what
point is the modification considered to be adopted? The rule makes
clear that it is considered to be adopted in the House and in the
Committee of the Whole, and not the reverse.
``We are now in the House, and the adoption of the so-called
modification takes place first in the House when we adopt this rule.
Then it is considered as adopted in the Committee of the Whole, when
the House resolves into Committee. And finally, the language of the
rule presumably also extends to the final adoption of the modification
when the bill is reported back to the House when it is reported from
the Committee of the Whole.
``But the Chair can hardly argue that this rule does not first adopt
the modification in the House when the rule is adopted, since the order
of adoption is quite clear--first in the House, then in the Committee
of the Whole.
``Mr. Speaker, in further support of this, I would cite the ruling of
the Chair of February 24, 1993, on a similar point of order brought
against the rule on the unemployment compensation bill.
``At page H807, the Chair indicated that, and I quote, `the
amendments are not adopted until such time as the rule is adopted.' In
other words, Mr. Speaker, the amendments are considered as adopted in
the House upon adoption of the rule.
``By the same token, when House Resolution 220 was rejected by the
House last Thursday, the identical amendment to that being offered in
this rule, was considered as rejected in the House. And the point of
order lies against considering the same amendment once rejected.
``I therefore urge the Chair to follow the logic of its previous
ruling regarding the effect of the adoption of a rule by the House by
upholding my point of order that this amendment has been previously
rejected by the rejection of the prior rule on this bill.''.
Mr. WHEAT was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from New York [Mr. Solomon] makes a
point of order that it would be inappropriate to consider legislation
identical to that previously rejected by the House, and I have to
congratulate the gentleman. He makes a clever argument when he suggests
that because H. Res. 220, last week in its entirety, included a self-
executing provision that would have considered the Youth Fair Chance
Act provision adopted had that rule passed. However, Mr. Speaker, that
amendment was not, in fact, rejected by this House of Representatives.
What failed to pass was H. Res. 220 in its entirety, and in fact H.
Res. 220 included many other provisions besides the Youth Fair Chance
Opportunity Act. The legislation that is being considered here today is
not identical to the resolution previously reported from the Committee
on Rules.
``It is, in fact, true that some of the provisions are similar,
however, Mr. Speaker, it is important to note that the general debate
time, for instance, has been extended from 60 to 90 minutes, and it
this is a substantially different proposition. Therefore, Mr. Speaker,
I would urge you to, in fact, be consistent with previous rulings and
to reject this point of order.''.
Mr. SOLOMON was further recognized to speak to the point of order and
said:
``Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from Missouri [Mr. Wheat] is a good
friend, and we respect him, but what he just said is that the only
difference between this resolution before us now, this rule and the
previous one, is the fact that they have extended debate by 30 minutes.
That is the only difference between these two rules.
``Therefore, Mr. Speaker, it stands to reason there is no significant
difference. It is the identical amendment, the identical rule, that was
before this body before, and the Chair should uphold my point of
order.''.
Mr. WHEAT was further recognized to speak to the point of order and
said:
``Mr. Speaker, one of the major purposes of the Committee on Rules is
to award time, of course time that has to be approved by this entire
body, and it is, in fact, what we consider to be a significant
difference, to differentiate significantly in the amount of time that
is to be awarded on the floor of the House of Representatives. So, the
addition of 30 additional minutes for debate on what we consider to be
a very significant and substantive matter is, in fact, a significant
difference from one rule to the next.
``Mr. Speaker, this is not an identical rule to what was considered
last week.''.
Mr. WALKER was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``Mr. Speaker, there is a longstanding parliamentary tradition and
practice in the House that one cannot do indirectly that which they
were not permitted to do directly. That is precisely what the majority
is attempting to do in this particular rule.
``In this instance, if they were attempting to do this directly,
there is no doubt that the Chair would have to rule that this amendment
was not in order, having been previously rejected from the House. The
indirect nature of this amendment should not preclude the Chair from
ruling that this amendment is not eligible for consideration on the
House floor.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. WISE, overruled the point of order, and
said:
``The resolution under consideration involves more than the self-
executing adoption of the modification printed in the accompanying
report. The pending resolution waives all points of order against
provisions in the bill as modified and provides a different parameter
of general debate from that contained in House Resolution 220. Thus
House Resolution 226 constitutes a different proposition from House
Resolution 220 as a special order of business.
``The rule is more than the self-executing provision within it. It is
the entire resolution, and the entire resolution, by virtue of having a
different parameter of debate, is sufficiently different.
``Therefore, the gentleman's point of order is overruled.''.
point of order
(Para. 89.9)
Mr. SOLOMON made a point of order against the modification to the
bill (H.R. 2667) making emergency supplemental appropriations for
relief from the major, widespread flooding in the Midwest for the
fiscal year ending September 30, 1993, and for other purposes, as
printed in Part 1 of House Report 103-189 and provided for by House
Resolution 226, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, I renew my point of order against the modification
printed in part 1 of the Committee on Rules report on the grounds that
it is not germane and in violation of clause 7, rule XVI, and
constitutes legislating in an appropriations bill in violation of
clause 2, rule XXI.
``Mr. Speaker, a point of order was reserved prior to adoption of the
rule, since, apparently, that is the point at which the modification
was first to be in the House. I have offered this before the bill is
called up, since I am aware that all points of order are waived against
the bill, as modified, but no points of order are waived in the rule
against the modification.
``I would insist on my point of order.''.
Mr. NATCHER was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``Mr. Speaker, the bill is, obviously, protected by the rule just
adopted. For instance, on page 3, Mr. Speaker, it provides in part as
follows:
`All points of order against consideration of the bill are waived.'
``In addition, further, `All points of order against the bill, as
modified, are waived.'
[[Page 2039]]
``Mr. Speaker, the point raised by my friend, the gentleman from New
York, is not a valid point of order.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. WISE, overruled the point of order, and
said:
``The point of order on a recommittal motion would have to be made
when that motion if offered.
``Referring to the gentleman's point of order, the gentleman from New
York [Mr. Solomon] makes a point of order that a certain provision in
the bill, as modified, constitutes, as the chairman understands it, a
nongermane amendment and is legislation on a general appropriations
bill.
``The provision in question is the new section inserted in the bill
by operation of House Resolution 226, the special order providing for
its consideration. Thus, the bill is now pending consideration in that
modified form. Moreover, House Resolution 226 waives all points of
order against the bill, as modified. Consequently, the point of order
made by the gentleman from New York [Mr. Solomon] has been waived.
``Once again, the Chair would refer the gentleman in this question
and others that have been raised to the decision on February 24, 1993,
by Speaker pro tempore Mazzoli.
``In response to a parliamentary inquiry regarding the effect of
adoption of a special order of business self-executing the adoption of
an amendment which, if separately considered, might constitute a
violation of a rule of the House, Speaker pro tempore Mazzoli responded
that `Once the bill--as so modified--is called up * * * because the
rule which has by that time been adopted has in it waivers of points of
order, that point of order could not be raised.'
``Therefore, the gentleman's point of order is not sustained.''.
point of order
(Para. 137.12)
to a bill proposing to change one existing law to fund the development
of alternatives to incarceration and probation for youthful offenders,
an amendment proposed in a motion to recommit proposing to change a
variety of laws to establish new crimes, enhance border controls, and
reform habeas corpus procedures is not germane.
the house laid on the table an appeal from the ruling of the speaker
pro tempore.
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.
to a bill proposing to fund the development of alternatives to
incarceration and probation for youthful offenders, an amendment
proposed in a motion to recommit proposing to establish federal-state
partnerships for the construction of regional prisons is not germane.
the house laid on the table an appeal from the ruling of the speaker
pro tempore.
to a bill proposing to fund the development of alternatives to
incarceration and probation for youthful offenders, an amendment
proposed in a motion to recommit proposing to establish a national task
force to study and report on efforts to counter terrorism is not
germane.
the house laid on the table an appeal from the ruling of the speaker
pro tempore.
On November 19, 1993, the bill (H.R. 3351) to amend the Omnibus Crime
Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to allow grants for the purpose of
developing alternative methods of punishment for young offenders to

engrossed and read a third time, was read a third time by title.

Pending consideration of said motion to recommit with instructions,
point of order
(Para. 137.15)
Mr. BROOKS made a point of order against the motion to recommit with
instructions, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order that the motion is non
germane.
``Mr. Speaker, it is the entire Republican crime bill tacked onto
this bill, which is not pertinent to all of those programs and is well
beyond the scope of the bill that is before us.''.
Mr. McCOLLUM was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``I do wish to be heard, Mr. Speaker, on the point of order. This
bill on the motion to recommit involves a number of provisions that are
very vital to this House and that we have not had a chance to vote on
today, including measures that are very definitely related to the high
rate of juvenile crime we have in this country. In fact, the juvenile
crime rate, which is what we are talking about--the juvenile crime rate
in this country is where the big problem is today, sadly. It is there
we have the violent crimes that are causing a great deal of concern
among our American citizenry.
``We have such an enormous growth in violent crime in this country
among juveniles that it is a sad story that the Wall Street Journal
reports that the district attorneys around this Nation say the single
most important issue facing them is revising the laws of this Nation to
solve that problem.
``So I propose today in this motion to recommit one simple thing,
something that has not been out here on the floor before that should
have been long ago, something that addresses the violent crime problem
among the youth of this country and the violent crime problem generally
in the only way we can get at it. It addresses the problem of the
revolving door.
``This proposed motion to recommit is in order it is the
comprehensive Republican crime proposal. It is in order, I would submit
to the Speaker, because it is indeed the root cause of the problems
being addressed in this bill. It is the only way to get at it. We have
all kinds of ways of getting at that. And
the scope of the bill before us today is indeed broad enough to
encompass this entire problem.
``The crux of this matter is that we have not faced the issue
squarely. We need to face the fact we do not have enough prisons to
house these folks in. We have a revolving door that basically the
motion to recommit would establish that. We need to mend the law of the
endless appeals of habeas corpus appeals by death row inmates, restore
the death penalty at the Federal level. We have not had a vote on any
of that in this session of Congress out on the floor, and this is one
opportunity to have that vote today on this motion to recommit. It
should be made in order, it should be put out. I tried to get it before
the Rules Committee. We do not have it out here, and I submit this is
the only way that this body can really address the violent crime
problem facing our country today, Mr. Speaker.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. GEPHARDT, sustained the point of order,
and said:
``The Chair is prepared to rule.
``The gentleman from Texas 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 those instructions to the bill as
perfected in the House.
``In order to be germane, an amendment must related to the subject
matter under consideration. The bill as perfected narrowly amends the
Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to establish a
program of grants to States and local governments to develop
alternatives to traditional incarceration of and unsupervised probation
for youthful offenders.
``On the other hand, the amendment proposed in the motion offered by
the gentleman from Florida [Mr. McCollum] goes beyond the subject of
alternative punishments for youthful offenders and proposes an omnibus
crime bill.
``Accordingly, the Chair finds that the amendment is not germane and,
therefore, that the motion to recommit is not in order.''.
Mr. McCOLLUM appealed the ruling of the Chair.
Mr. BROOKS 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. GEPHARDT, announced that the yeas had
it.
Mr. McCOLLUM demanded a recorded vote on the motion to lay the appeal
on the table, which demand was supported by one-fifth of a quorum, so a

Pending consideration of said motion to recommit with instructions,
point of order
(Para. 137.17)
Mr. BROOKS made a point of order against the motion to recommit with
instructions, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, I make the point of order that the motion to recommit
is not germane.''.
Mr. McCOLLUM was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``Mr. Speaker, the motion to recommit that I have offered would
require that the Committee on the Judiciary take this bill back and
report back to us an amendment to the bill, and addition to the bill,
which would encompass a regional prison system being a partnership with
the States would pay 50 percent of the cost of building these regional
prisons and the States would pay 50 percent to house violent criminals
and sexual abusers who qualify in those States where the States have
adopted truth in sentencing by requiring that all of those who are
convicted who are eligible for these prisons serve at least 85 percent
of their sentences, and it would require that they adopt minimum
mandatory sentences for those individuals that would be sent to these
regional prisons.
``This amendment, this provision that would be adopted by my motion
to recommit, Mr. Speaker, is the only way we are going to get at the
real problem here that is facing the country today of the revolving
door, and it is germane to this bill today because this bill addresses
crime and youthful offenders, and the only way to effectively
stop youthful offenders who commit violent crimes, and this is the
crisis today most Americans see, is by building the prisons that we
need in America, going into a cost-sharing partnership with the States
and taking these violent youthful offenders off the streets, locking
them up, and throwing away the keys. We are not doing that today, Mr.
Speaker.
``If this is ruled out of order, which would be the second one today
which we have tried to put out here, we will not be effectively dealing
with the violent crime problem facing this Nation in this session of
Congress. The American public demands that we have that opportunity,
and that is why I am offering this motion to recommit today in the
hopes that this body, with my colleagues' blessing, today will address
the really critical problem of the revolving door of violent criminals
and especially the violent crime among the youth today. We need the
prisons. That is all this does is establish that which we have not
brought out here.
``Let me point out to my colleagues in closing that in 6 months from
now, by the statistics we have, because it is violent crimes that are
being committed in this country at a rate of 160,000 a month, it takes
6 months to get this out here, this kind of a bill, if we do not do it
tonight, we do not address this crime problem tonight with the bill I
propose here, there will be over 966,000 more violent crimes committed
in that 6 month period.
``It is shameful that we do not address it, Mr. Speaker. That is why
I am offering it. That is what it is. I believe it is very germane to
this crime bill today, because this crime bill, as it is tonight,
really only addresses a very minor part of the problem.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. GEPHARDT, sustained the point of order,
and said:
``The point of order the gentleman from Texas [Mr. Brooks] has been
heard. For the reasons stated on the prior point of order, the Chair
rules that this point of order is well-taken, and that the motion is
not germane. A program to establish a regional prison system to be used
by States that establish certain standards for incarceration of
prisoners generally goes beyond the subject of alternative punishments
for youthful offenders.''.
Mr. McCOLLUM appealed the ruling of the Chair.
Mr. BROOKS 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?

counterterrorism activities and make recommendations
concerning how coordination can be improved; and
(6) assess whether there should be more centralized
operational control over Federal Government activities,
programs, and assets utilized to counter terrorism, and if
so, make recommendations concerning how that should be
achieved
(c) Support.--(1) The National Task Force on
Counterterrorism shall have a Chief of Staff appointed by the

submitted under paragraph (1), implement the recommendations
outlined in subsection (b) in accordance with the report, and
(3) beginning 180 days after the date on which the report
is submitted under paragraph (1), report to Congress every
120 days on the progress of Task Force in implementing its
recommendations.
(e) Authorization of Appropriations.--There is authorized
to be appropriated for the National Task Force on
Counterterrorism for fiscal year 1995 $5,000,000, which shall

(Para. 137.19)
Mr. BROOKS made a point of order against the motion to recommit with
instructions, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order that the motion to recommit is
not germane.''.
Mr. McCOLLUM was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``What this proposed motion would do today will be to send this back
to the Committee on the Judiciary to report it back with a very
straightforward amendment to it that is one which would address the
problem of terrorism at the World Trade Center. It would set up an
inter agency task force, among other things, to coordinate efforts so
we do not have something like what happened at the World Trade Center.
``You are probably going to rule it out of order, like you have ruled
the other two out of order, Mr. Speaker, and I respect that, but the
fact is that the people who were involved with that World Trade Center
and a lot of other Americans would like to see that issue addressed. We
should be addressing the real crime issues tonight and not the issues
that are out here.
``I have nothing else to say on it. I am sorry I have to do that, but
that is the only effort we have got we can make. I respectfully suggest
this ought to be ruled in order. It is a tough violent crime
question.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. GEPHARDT, sustained the point of order,
and said:
``The Chair has heard the argument on the point of order. The Chair
rules that the motion to recommit is not germane for the similar
reasons that were given on the other two points of order.
``The amendment proposed in the motion to recommit offered by the
gentleman from Florida [Mr. McCollum]
goes beyond the subject of alternative punishments for youthful
offenders and establishes a National Task Force on Counter-Terrorism to
study and report to Congress its assessment of existing Federal counter
terrorism efforts and to make recommendations for improvements to those
efforts.
``Accordingly, the Chair finds that the amendment is not germane, and
therefore, that the motion to recommit is not in order.''.
Mr. McCOLLUM appealed the ruling of the Chair.

point of order
(Para. 138.36)
the report of a committee on a public bill may comply with the
requirements in clause 7 of rule xiii and section 308(a) of the
congressional budget act of 1974 to estimate costs for five ensuing
years by including a pertinent estimate of the congressional budget
office projecting costs on indefinite bases.
On November 20, 1993, the SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. FIELDS of
Louisiana, pursuant to House Resolution 316 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. 51) to provide for
the admission of the State of New Columbia into the Union.
Pending which,
point of order
(Para. 138.37)
Mr. SOLOMON made a point of order against the consideration of said
bill, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, at this point I would make a point of order against
the consideration of H.R. 51 on the grounds that it is in violation of
House rule XIII, clause 7, as well as section 308(a) of the Budget Act.
``Mr. Speaker, House Rule XIII, clause 7(a) requires that the
committee report to accompany any bill and I quote--
Shall contain an estimate made by such committee of the
costs which would be incurred in carrying out such bill or
joint reso-
[[Page 2044]]
lution in the fiscal year in which it is reported and in each
of the 5 fiscal years following such fiscal year.
``And clause 7(b) of that rule says, and I quote,
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.
``Mr. Speaker, the report to accompany H.R. 51, House Report 103-371,
at page 22, notes that a CBO cost estimate, and I quote, `was not
received by the Committee from the Director of the Congressional Budget
Office prior to the filing of this report.'
``The report goes on to state that, `pursuant to clause 7 of rule
XIII, the Committee notes that the provisions of H.R. 51 impacting on
revenues and expenditures do not differ markedly from those of H.R.
4718 in the 102nd Congress.'
``And the report goes on to incorporate that 1992 cost estimate as
the committee cost estimate at page 22 through page 26.
``However, Mr. Speaker, this does not satisfy the requirements of
clause 7(a) of rule XIII since the CBO cost estimate does not contain
the required cost of the bill for the fiscal year in which it has been
reported--fiscal year 1994--and in each of the 5 fiscal years following
such fiscal year. . . .
``For the report to be in compliance with the requirements of clause
7(a) of rule XIII, there must be a clearly delineated breakdown of the
estimated costs for each of the fiscal years 1994 through 1999.
``No where in this report is there such a breakdown.
``Mr. Speaker, since the rule providing for the consideration of the
bill does not waive points of order anywhere in this rule, in its
consideration, this point of order is in order pursuant to clause 7(b)
of rule XIII; and, Mr. Speaker, I also make a point of order that the
report violates section 306(a), as I mentioned earlier, of the Budget
Act, which requires certain cost estimates, including section 402 to be
direct spending costs. The CBO report, at page 26, only contains the
PAYGO estimates through fiscal year 1996. But this year we extended the
requirements of PAYGO through fiscal year 2002.
``I therefore urge that my point of order be sustained, Mr.
Speaker.''.
Mr. STARK was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the point of order.
``A review of the full text of the CBO estimate on pages 22 to 26 of
House Report 103-371 clearly indicates that it covers the five years
required by the rule, and much beyond.
``For example, on page 22, the cost to the Federal Government of
administering the federal enclave is $40 million annually; that is an
indefinite period extending beyond the five years of the rule.
``Similarly, Mr. Speaker, other estimates are recurring, as follows:
``Congressional representation is $3 million a year, page 23.
``Justice services, $45 million a year.
``Finally, Mr. Speaker, if you look at the chart on page 26 of the
report, you will note that the net cost to the government for every
year is zero--costs are offset by savings.
``Thus, the committee report complies fully with the rule.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. FIELDS of Louisiana, overruled the point
of order, and said:
``The Chair is prepared to rule.
``Clause 7 of rule XIII requires that the report of the Committee on
the District of Columbia on H.R. 51 contain the committee's estimate of
the costs which would be incurred in carrying out the bill in the
fiscal year in which it is reported and in each of the 5 ensuing fiscal
years.
``On page 22 of House Report 103-371, the Committee on the District
of Columbia notes, pursuant to clause 7 of rule XIII, that the
provisions of the bill affecting revenues and expenditures are similar
to those in an earlier bill, and includes the full text of the
Congressional Budget Office cost estimated, dated April 30, 1992, on
that earlier form of the bill.
``The CBO cost estimate estimates costs and savings as recurring
annually and indefinitely.
``For example, it estimates the costs of providing services, within
and administering the National Capital Service Area as being at least
$40 million annually.
``It estimates the costs of additional congressional representation
as being `$3 million a year', it estimates the cost for the Statehood
Transition Commission at less than `$1 million', and it estimates the
savings from the discontinuation of Federal support for local
administration of justice and resulting court services as $45 million a
year.
``In addition, clause 7(d) of rule XIII expressly acknowledges the
fundamental accuracy of the CBO cost estimates.
``The Chair also notes in response to the point of order under
section 308 of the Budget Act that the cost of the new Senators salary
as stated in the CBO report would result in a direct Federal spending
of $0.3 million annually. Thus the CBO report identifies new spending
authority provided in the bill.
``The Chair hold that the committee cost estimate on the bill is not
deficient for its being based on the CBO cost estimate where the latter
estimate has examined the same subject on an indefinite basis.
``The Chair overrules the point of order.''.
The House then resolved itself into the Committee of the Whole House
on the state of the Union.
point of order
(Para. 139.23)
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.''
On November 21, 1993, Mr. DERRICK, by direction of the Committee on
Rules, called up the following resolution (H. Res. 319):
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. 3) to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act
of 1971 to provide for a voluntary system of spending limits
and benefits for congressional election campaigns, and for
other purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be
dispensed with. 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
House Administration, 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 House
Administration now printed in the bill, modified by the
amendment printed in part 1 of the report of the Committee on
Rules accompanying this resolution. The committee amendment
in the nature of a substitute, as modified, shall be
considered as read. No amendment to the committee amendment
in the nature of a substitute, as modified, shall be in order
except the amendment printed in part 2 of the report of the
Committee on Rules, which may be offered only by a Member
designated in the report, shall be considered as read, shall
be debatable for the time specified in the report equally
divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, and
shall not be subject to amendment. 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. 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 any
amendment thereto to final passage without intervening motion
except one motion to recommit, which may not include
instructions. After passage of H.R. 3, it shall be in order
to take from the Speaker's table the bill S. 3 and to
consider the Senate bill in the House. It shall be in order
to move to strike all after the enacting clause of the Senate
bill and to insert in lieu hereof the provisions of H.R. 3 as
passed by the House. If the motion is adopted and the Senate
bill, as amended,
[[Page 2045]]
is passed, then it shall be in order to move the House insist
on its amendments to S. 3 and request a conference with the
Senate thereon.
Pending consideration of said resolution,

XI.

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.
``If anyone wants to look at clause 4 of rule XVI, you are welcome to.
``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
shall be in order,--
``Not may, but shall be in order--
and the Speaker shall give preference in recognition for
such purposes to a Member who is opposed to the bill or joint
resolution.
``Mr. Speaker, those two clauses were adopted as amendments to House
rules on March 15, 1909, when the minority party Democrats--let me
repeat that, the minority party Democrats--joined with a group of
insurgent Republicans to guarantee greater minority rights.
``Did you hear that, Mr. Speaker? I said Republicans who were in the
majority--it does not happen very often around here--joined with
minority Democrats to guarantee greater rights for the Democrats, when
they were in the minority. What has happened since then?
``Prior to this rules revision, the motion to recommit was controlled
by the majority party. 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.
``House Resolution 319, that we are considering right now, on the
other hand, provides that the motion to recommit, and I quote: `may not
contain instructions.'
``That is a renege on the promises of the Democrat leadership. It is
therefore in direct violation of this rule which was purposely designed
to guarantee the minority a vote on its alternative by way on
instructions.
``Mr. Speaker, in support of this argument--I hate to take up the
time of the body, but you know, you have got to be fair--I quote first
from the author of clause 4(b) of rule XI and clause 4 of rule XVI on
the day he offered the amendment.
``It is a very famous name, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, a Democrat from
New York. He is a good man. I knew John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
``In his words:
Under our present practice, if a Member desires to move to
recommit with instructions, the Speaker, instead of
recognizing the Member desiring to submit a specific
proposition by instructions, recognizes the gentleman in
charge of the bill and he moves to recommit, and upon that
motion demands the previous question is ordered, the motion
to recommit is voted down.
And he went on: `Under our practice the motion to recommit might
better be eliminated from the rules altogether.'
``The subsequent rulings of Speakers confirm that the whole purpose of
the new rule was to permit the minority a chance to offer a final
amendment in a motion to recommit with instructions.
``Speaker Champ Clark ruled on May 14, 1912, 3 years later, and I
quote:
It is not necessary to go into the history of how this
particular rule came to be adopted, but that it was intended
that the right to make the motion to recommit should be
preserved inviolate the chair has no doubt whatever.
``That was Champ Clark back in 1912, Mr. Speaker.
``That is from a precedent found in volume 8 of Cannon's Precedents at
section 2757. From that same volume at section 2757 is found a precedent
from October 7, 1919. Former Speaker Crisp is quoted as follows:
The object of the motion to recommit is clearly to give the
minority of the House * * * a chance affirmatively to go on
record as to what they think this legislation should be, and
if a motion to recommit does not permit that, then the motion
is futile.
``Speaker Gillett, in deciding the point of order on that occasion
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 * * * The whole purpose of this motion to
recommit is to have a record vote on the program of the
minority. That is the main purpose of the motion to recommit,
* * *
``And it goes on, and on, and on, and on. I could cite these
precedents for hours standing here.
``Speaker Bankhead, in a 1939 ruling, found in volume 7 of Deschler's
Precedents, chapter 23, section 26.1, said of this rule and I quote:
The purpose of the motion to recommit * * * is to give
Members opposed to the bill an opportunity to have an
expression of opinion by the House upon their proposition.
``Republican or Democrat, if they are in opposition, they ought to
have that chance, he is saying.
``Mr. Speaker, the whole key to this point of order and the underlying
rules at issue here is what is meant in clause 4(b) of rule XI when it
prohibits the Rules Committee from reporting a rule which denies the
motion to recommit `as provided in clause 4 of rule XVI.'
``It is not sufficient for the Rules Committee simply to permit a
straight motion to recommit, as they are doing in this rule, which
prohibits instructions, since the authors of the 1909 rule provided for
more than that. They have to be fair. What they clearly had in mind was
to provide the minority an opportunity to get a final vote on their
position if they wished, through amendatory recommittal instructions.
``Indeed, in Deschler's Precedents, volume 7, chapter 23, section 25,
this is made abundantly clear, and I quote:
There are in the rules of the House four motions to refer:
the ordinary motion provided for in the first sentence of
clause 4, rule XVI, when a question is `under debate;' the
motion to recommit with or without instructions after the
previous question has been ordered on a bill or joint
resolution to final passage provided in the second sentence
of clause 4, rule XVI * * *.
``Mr. Speaker, that second sentence of clause 4 of rule XVI is the
1909 rule that is at issue in this point of order, and while it does not
specifically mention instructions, it is clear from the legislative
history behind the rule as well as this recent interpretation from
Deschler's that the right of the minority to offer instructions in a
motion to recommit is not only implied by the rule but is the whole
reason for the adoption of the rule in the first place.
``Mr. Speaker, the only precedent contradicting this interpretation
was a 1934 ruling by the chair that a rule prohibition certain
amendments during consideration of a bill did not violate rule XI,
clause 4(b) even though it restricted the minority's right to offer
amendatory instructions.
``Mr. Speaker, I say, only during your tenure; not you because you're
the acting Speaker, but only during the present Speaker's tenure here
has the Chair relied on that one precedent alone to uphold the rule
which has completely blocked all instructions in a motion to recommit.
``Mr. Speaker, it should be obvious that the 1934 precedent allowing
for restricting amendatory instructions was wrongly decided because it
led to the situation which allows for denying any motion to recommit
which contains amendments and that is clearly violative of the intent
behind the 1909 rule that is currently the law and the rule of this
House. To allow that precedent to stand is to render the rule and the
minority right it was intended to guarantee back in those days, the
Democrat minority, to render it null and void. It is not only a
violation of the spirit of this rule, but it is a violation of the
literal essence of the rule as well, and my colleagues all know it.
``I therefore urge that the Chair reverse the 1934 precedent and
recent rulings based on it by sustaining my point of order for the sake
of upholding the tradition, the spirit, and the letter of the rule in
question.
``Mr. Speaker, I will ask a ruling.''.
Mr. DERRICK was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``Mr. Speaker, I wish to be heard on the point of order.
``The gentleman from New York [Mr. Solomon] 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.
[[Page 2046]]
``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 only the simple motion to recommit
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. Mr. Speaker, so long as the
minority's right to offer a simple motion to recommit is protected, 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.
``I will not rehearse the precedents and history of this point.
Suffice it to say that Speaker Rainey, on January 11, 1934, so ruled and
was sustained on appeal.
``The parliamentary point has been reaffirmed several times in the las
few years, by ruling of the Chair, and when the ruling was challenged,
it has been sustained on appeal.
``The precedents are clear and unequivocal. If the rule does not
deprive the minority of the right to offer a simple motion to recommit,
then the rule does not violate the spirit or the letter of clause 4(b)
of rule XI. Mr. Speaker, I urge that the point of order be overruled.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. LaROCCO, overruled the point of order,
and said:
``Based upon the precedents cited in section 729c of the House Rules
and Manual, the point of order is overruled.''.
point of order
(Para. 140.16)
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.''
On November 22, 1993, Mr. GORDON, by direction of the Committee on
Rules, called up the following resolution (H. Res. 320):
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. 3400) to provide a more effective, efficient,
and responsive government. The first reading of the bill
shall be dispensed with. All points or order against
consideration of the bill 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 Majority Leader and the
Minority Leader. 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, the
amendment in the nature of a substitute specified in part 1
of the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this
resolution shall be considered as adopted in the House and in
the Committee of the Whole. The bill, as so amended, shall be
considered as the original bill for the purpose of further
amendment. All points of order against the bill, as so
amended, are waived. The bill, as so amended, shall be
considered as read. No amendment to the bill, as so amended,
shall be in order except those printed in part 2 of the
report of the Committee on Rules. Each amendment may be
offered and shall be disposed of only in the order printed in
the report, may be offered only by a Member designated in the
report, shall be considered as read, shall be debatable under
the terms specified in the report, shall not be subject to
amendment except as specified in the report, 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
the amendments printed in the report are waived. At the
conclusion of consideration of the bill for amendment the
Committee shall rise and report the bill, as so amended, to
the House with such further amendment 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, as so amended, or to any further amendment in the
nature of a substitute adopted in the Committee of the Whole.
The previous question shall be considered as ordered on the
bill, as so amended, and any amendment thereto to final
passage without intervening motion except one motion to
recommit, which may not include instructions.
Pending consideration of said resolution,
point of order
(Para. 140.17)
Mr. GOSS made a point of order against the consideration of the
resolution, and said:
``Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order against the consideration of
House Resolution 320 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.
``Clause 4(b) of House rule XI provides that, 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.
``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
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.
``Mr. Speaker, as was said last night, those two clauses were adopted
as amendments to House rules on March 15, 1909, when the minority party
Democrats joined with a group of insurgent Republicans to guarantee
greater minority rights.
``Mr. Speaker, I will not repeat all the arguments I made on the
preceding rule which contained the same wording
which denied any instructions on the motion to recommit.
``Nor will I quote all the Speakers I previously cited who affirmed
that this motion was designed in 1909 to permit the minority to offer
its final amendment to a bill.
``Nor will I explain again why the one Speaker who misruled on this
point in 1934 was wrong and should be overturned.
``All this has been amply documented. All that remains to be done is
for the present occupant of the Chair to admit that the single ruling in
1934 on which all the recent rulings have been based was erroneous and
should be overturned.
``Just as the Supreme Court overturned a bad precedent in 1954 to
guarantee minority rights, so too can this Speaker overturn a bad
precedent and restore the minority rights that were originally
established back in 1909.
``I strongly urge the Chair to sustain my point of order and thereby
restore the rights that are rightfully ours according to the legislative
history and intent behind this rule.''.
Mr. GORDON was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
``Mr. Speaker, I do wish to be heard on this point of order.
``Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from Florida [Mr. Goss] 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 only the simple motion to recommit
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, Mr. Speaker, so long as the
minority's right to offer a simple motion to recommit is protected, 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.
``I will not respect the precedents and history of this point. Suffice
it to say that Speaker Rainey, on January 11, 1924, so ruled and was
sustained on appeal.
``The precedents are clear and unequivocal. If the rule does not
deprive the minority of the right to offer a simple motion to recommit,
then the rule does not violate the spirit or the letter of clause 4(b)
of rule XI. Mr. Speaker, I urge that the point of order be overruled.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. ANDREWS of Maine, overruled the point of
order, and said:
``The Chair is prepared to rule. Under the precedents cited in section
729(C) of the House Rules and Manual, and as reiterated as recently as
yesterday afternoon, the Chair overrules the point of order.''.
